Admin material
Hey, Movie... wow!!! Awesome work over the weekend on your gazillion edits... keep this up and you will make admin someday :) - Darkwynters (talk) 18:00, January 19, 2015 (UTC)


 * Oh, please, no. Anything but an admin. :-O &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 18:10, January 19, 2015 (UTC)


 * Movie, I just wanted to say... WOW... you are crushing those class updates!!! - Darkwynters (talk) 17:02, January 24, 2015 (UTC)


 * Halfway through the alphabet and I'm starting to get in a rhythm, hehe. Sorry for hogging most of the bandwidth in the Recent Changes list. :-/ &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 01:44, January 25, 2015 (UTC)


 * Heh, I just popped over to your Talk page to congratulate you on your sterling work lately, but it looks like Darkwynters beat me to it. You have done a sweeping job on the class categories.--Eli the Tanner (talk) 23:39, January 25, 2015 (UTC)


 * Thanks! I hope it makes sense to someone other than me :) &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 00:26, January 26, 2015 (UTC)

HTML/CSS Help
Hey, Dave, you're the wiki markup pro here, yes?

I've been working on creating a grouping box for the bottom of language pages, as I plan to do a thorough "Languages of Faerûn" article project in the future. I'm having difficulty changing the line spacing between lines in the 2nd box shown here: User:Lhynard/Sandbox. (As it is, the box is way to big, but it would all fit if not for the "double-spacing" happening.)

I've toyed with the  field, changing the CSS fields ,  , and. None of that works, yet it looks the way I want it to when I create an HTML file and view it in a browser, so I'm assuming something on the wiki is overriding the settings I'm providing in the raw HTML. What am I missing? Where can I view the wiki's master CSS? The Template:4ed box has a  field. Could I solve this problem using that? IF so, where do I put the CSS file?

 * It looks like your &lt;ul&gt; and &lt;li&gt; elements are inheriting the style from Wikia itself, which we have no control over, but we can override with our own css. The "quick" fix for your 4ed box is to change all &lt;ul&gt; and &lt;li&gt; "line-height" parameters to "inherit" and then set the line-height of your table at the top to, say 80%. That way you can adjust the spacing of the whole table at once. If you want me to create a style for you, I can do that, but it might be later tonight or tomorrow. Oh, and one more thing: you have to separate style designators with a semi-colon, like this:  or else you risk weirdness (as if css wasn't weird enough). Good luck, and let me know. &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 23:42, January 20, 2015 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the tips! Don't worry about creating the style for me yet; I'll mess around with it more first.


 * Gah! I forgot about the semicolons; I should have remembered that. (I program in C++ after all!) ~ Lhynard (talk) 00:16, January 21, 2015 (UTC)


 * Ok, it's crazy ugly, but it's working now. Thanks again! ~ Lhynard (talk) 00:45, January 21, 2015 (UTC)

Wording
Hay Movie! I was wondering what you think about the wording for "At higher levels" in 5e? So far I have used "if used with more skill" or " if used with more force" I'm a bit unsure about the wording and if that would be completely accurate, what do you think? Terrorblades 's Far Realm logs dated 12:35, January 27, 2015 (UTC)


 * All of those sound fine to me. Since we categorize the spells by level, I don't see why we can't use the word "level" in the spell description. It's one of the trade-offs that we have to make while trying to avoid crunch but still be a useful resource for players and DMs. Others may feel differently, but that's my stance. &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 14:32, January 27, 2015 (UTC)


 * Ok then I'll use that for now... Its just I don't have have ever read or seen some where people use "Level" in novel or games... But I might have missed it. Also the Blindness or deafness was just great, thanks :)! Terrorblades 's Far Realm logs dated  20:48, January 27, 2015 (UTC)

Project #39
FWIW, I'm a big fan of your project #39; that had been bothering me for a while. :) ~ Lhynard (talk) 00:22, February 16, 2015 (UTC)


 * Thanks! It's always nice to get recognition of one's work. :) I hope this will make them easier to use. &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 00:35, February 16, 2015 (UTC)

More scripting help
Any idea how to trim the percentage to 2 or 3 decimal places here?

thanks! perfect! ~ Lhynard (talk) 00:12, March 19, 2015 (UTC)

Congrats
Good work finishing up the Dragon/Dungeon citation project. It was much needed! ~ Lhynard (talk) 17:15, March 31, 2015 (UTC)


 * Thanks! :) Although I've still got Project #40 to do. Not sure how enthusiastic I am about that...we'll see. &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 21:18, March 31, 2015 (UTC)

Sort Key
Actually, when you removed the sort key from the Template:Class table in Thallos el Bhirax, his name ceased being sorted properly in Category:Fighters (2e). You need to have both the sort key param and the set, because the default setting in the class table is to use. ~ Lhynard (talk) 23:16, April 20, 2015 (UTC)


 * Not sure what you mean, Lhyn... BadCat and I have been using the Defaultsort for years now... Thallos el Bhirax is under both "Fighters (2e)" and "Fighters of 7th Level (2e)... - Darkwynters (talk) 23:29, April 20, 2015 (UTC)


 * Hmmm, actually, this is really weird and both BadCat and Movie need to have a look at this... for example, Artus Cimber is under "A" for the auto class cats... and under "C" for all other cats... I think we need to have a look into this... I thought the Defaultsort... sorted everything... hmmm, nice catch, Lhyn - Darkwynters (talk) 23:38, April 20, 2015 (UTC)

Creature template
Hey Movie, just checking in with you on the Template:Creature infobox... is this the most up-to-date version.... - Darkwynters (talk) 21:20, April 22, 2015 (UTC)


 * Yes, as of now. Let me know if you have any problems with it. Also, there is an unanswered question in Template talk:Creature, if you want something else to ponder. :) &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 21:43, April 22, 2015 (UTC)
