Kisonraathiisar
I thought the image was wrong, as it is obviously not a dragon, but it is labelled 'Kisonraathiisar’s slow demise' in the book. :/ Thomaslove92 13:14, February 2, 2012 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I thought the same for a while, before I happened to come across a thread over on the Candlekeep forums. Not having known anything about Kisonraathiisar before, I'd had no clue. :P Cronje (talk &sdot; contribs) 13:27, February 2, 2012 (UTC)

Building Infobox
Hi again, just occured to me whilst adding the infobox to a page, that 'caption' 'source' and 'page' titles would be great! Sorry to keep bothering you, but i'm still learning how to write wikia code.

Cheers, Thomas Thomaslove92 15:57, February 2, 2012 (UTC)


 * No worries, coding is one of my passions, no matter what the language. I'll add the 'source' and 'caption' parameters now (page can be included in source). Cronje (talk &sdot; contribs) 18:45, February 2, 2012 (UTC)


 * Heh, looks like I had already coded the caption functionality, but forgot to include it in the syntax/explanation section. Woops! Anyway, both parameters are now available. Cronje (talk &sdot; contribs) 18:50, February 2, 2012 (UTC)

Infobox Coding
Hi cronje, I've been studying the dwarven script dethek recently, and an idea came to me.

I think it would be cool if famous characters had their name in their native script in the info box. Similar to the signature section in wikipedia.

I've created Bruenor Battlehammer's name in Dethek and uploaded it (with transparent background), and been messing around with it in my sandbox, but to no avail.

Can you help? I'm thinking it would look cool just under the name (in the header box), it wouldn't even need a title that way, as it would appear as a translation to the name.




 * I think the existing infobox code could handle it (in the name/title parameter, add something like:






 * If you'd prefer, it'd be simple enough to create an Alternate Spellings parameter. Let me know. Cronje (talk &sdot; contribs) 01:04, February 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the quick response, I tried your suggestion (User:Thomaslove92/sandbox) but i got nothing, unless i did it wrong!


 * If you dont mind adding a native spelling parameter that would be awesome! Cheers mate :)

 * Done. Use the alt_spelling parameter. I would've gone with native_spelling, but there may be other alternate spellings. Cronje (talk &sdot; contribs) 01:27, February 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks Tom, just what I wanted!

Generic infobox
Hey, any luck getting that standardized infobox template official yet? I can't wait to start neatening up pages with it. Thomaslove92 21:36, February 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * Still waiting on word from Fw190a8, since he's needed to edit the wiki's CSS file. Cronje (talk &sdot; contribs) 21:39, February 24, 2012 (UTC)
