Guides

RDM Guide

I was wondering if there's some way to format the RDM guide to display the equipment sets I have for (SELF) and (OTHERS) to be listed next to each other rather than under each other..? I've tried copying some of the formatting from your THF guide and I couldn't get anything to work. I'm not sure how to do it! R34dy5t34dydr4w (talk) 04:38, 26 December 2018 (EST)

Set it up for you. It is just a table with the sets in it. There are better ways to do this, but this is the most simple way and the current one used in the guides I have made. --Spicyryan (talk) 09:26, 26 December 2018 (EST)

I must've stewed over it for a few hours before I decided against it. I probably have 1~2 paragraphs worth of "notes" to discuss about each individual spell and I don't think the layout would work for it. I'll re-evaluate once the information is in place, but I do have your changes saved into a seperate text file so I can reference it later. R34dy5t34dydr4w (talk) 23:48, 26 December 2018 (EST)

Fair enough, but if I might suggest something; keep it as simple as possible. There is no need for identical repeating sets (gain-self, haste-self, protect/shell-self, etc) or to make an excess of notes. It makes maintaining things simpler too if you reign in your approach. --Spicyryan (talk) 10:08, 27 December 2018 (EST)

Recent Talk Activity (cleared once a year, last on Jan 2018):

Just FYI, I saw you were last to edit the monster rearing page. The contents section has been deleted since your edits. Not sure if that was intentional or not. I tried to look in the history to add it back but was not able to figure out how. -- 12:17, 10 November 2018‎ Shystie

Added the ToC back. The removal was not intentional, sorry. --Spicyryan (talk) 12:25, 10 November 2018 (EST)


Hello, not sure if you are aware but the icons in your BLU guide are nor displaying properly (weapons section) --User:‎Mayoyama

Thank you for posting this. While I do need to continue to improve the BLU guide, the icons are not an issue. Clear your cache and check again because they displayed for me on the PC and Mobile. --Spicyryan (talk) 07:52, 27 February 2018 (EST)


Hi, the template for reforged artifact armor sets says reforged relic armor sets, I think it's the Template:Reforged Artifact Set Navigation, line 8 --Flaminglegion (talk) 08:48, 7 March 2018 (EST)

Oh snap! It has been a minute, where have you been?! Thanks too, fixed it. --Spicyryan (talk) 09:16, 7 March 2018 (EST)

Yeah long time! My friends all quit so so did I, then they're back and now so am I. Much less time for wiki at work these days but might do some easy things. Thanks for the edit, guess it needs more time to update because it hasn't made a difference for me. Tried clearing cache, loading pages I haven't checked that use it, and tried on mobile too. It's on pages like Theophany Attire Set --Flaminglegion (talk) 05:58, 8 March 2018 (EST) Previewing the artifact set page makes it work so it'll probably be fine --Flaminglegion (talk) 06:08, 8 March 2018 (EST)


Hey Spicyran -- what's the quick code for adding in a date after "Boogers (talk)" ? Boogers (talk)

Pencil icon or ~~~~ --Spicyryan (talk) 20:38, 13 June 2018 (EDT)

Thank you for the tip and all the hard work you put into the wiki! Boogers (talk) 00:38, 14 June 2018 (EDT)

NP, it's where I live is all.

I appreciate your work from time to time; on ambuscade info for example.--Spicyryan (talk) 00:55, 14 June 2018 (EDT)


Hey Ryan ~ Wanted to send u a thanks PM, but seems like this is the only way to do so. Thanks for the help on the revisions, I'm still new at this. Question: on the newest revision u helped me with on the Doc Chacharoon page, I c u made some tech mods. But I can't seem to c the actual visual differences on the page. If u got the time, would u mind dropping me a few pointers and giving me minor explanation on the mechanism. Just wanting to learn and improve. Thanks in advance~! --Gonavan (talk) 22:57, 21 September 2018 (EDT)

Well, you could PM me on the BG Forums as the accounts are tied (or just Discord), but yeah this works as well.

What I did was removed the highlight on the hover since that wasn't needed for a single line of text in a spoiler table. The rest was just adjusting formatting or adding some padding between the text and the edge of the table which is all standard html "keeping it neat" sort of stuff you don't need to worry about that I try to watch. Contributing the info and things is far more important.
Learning how to do anything past the basics is something you either won't need or will come over time. Thanks again for your efforts. --Spicyryan (talk) 12:31, 22 September 2018 (EDT)
