talk I also edit on the OldSchool RuneScape Wiki. Mudscape on discord

Wiki's are for users first, editors second.

My userpages: Special:PrefixIndex/User:Mudscape

• Better denote subsections in mobile navboxes
• Fix external link color when swapping to dark mode (see main page)
• Update css to use variables and combine leftover gadget styles
• Minecraft Wiki:Projects/DIG:Design to Implement Granularity - I wrote the first draft of the project page and have participated in splitting multiple pages.
• Updating {{Crafting}} and {{Crafting usage}} to use SMW instead of DPL.

• Trading table formatting - A similar idea to the mob loot, although villager trades are already consistently in tables. Using a module instead of raw wikitext enables us to change the style/formatting of the information and also store information in SMW, which can then be automatically pulled onto item pages.
  • Module:TradeTable
  • Template:TradeTable
  • Template:TradeLine
  • Module:Get trade info
  • Template:Trade sources
  • Template:Trade uses
• Advancements porting from DPL to SMW - resulted in 50% speedup of querying advancements
  • Module:Advancement
  • Template:AdvancementTable
  • Template:AdvancementRow
• History section porting from template to module - the vast majority of the actual module code was written by User:Chixvv, I simply updated it with some new history features and replaced the original serialization with JSON serialization. The module performance is 67% faster than the template, while keeping the syntax almost exactly the same. I also ran the bot to update pages to use the new module.
  • Module:HistoryTable
  • Template:HistoryTable
  • Template:HistoryLine
• Mob loot formatting - creates a consistently styled table on each mob page with their loot, and saves that loot data using SMW. Template:Drop sources then reads that data on item pages and constructs a similar style table representing all mob sources for that item. This basic system can be expanded for use in breaking blocks, structure generation, loot tables, villager trades, and more.
  • Module:DropsLine
  • Template:DropsTableHead
  • Template:DropsLine
  • Template:DropsTableFoot
  • Module:Get drop info
  • Template:Drop sources

• DPL is really slow. Rewrite dpl templates using Bucket and lua which is much faster.
  • Template:Load achievements and Template:Load advancements are both using dpl
• Mob is slow, partly because it transcludes Damage/Mobs which calls Template:Health 265 times and that template is a mix of lua and template script logic which means its slower than just going straight into lua.

Self notes:

• Think about some sort of Tempalte:BlockBreakingInfo that covers hardness/time to mine/mined drops/silk touch. Can use a synced switch for stuff like crop states and pages covering more than one block
• Make the sprite(link) stuff faster by not using lua. Tons of small calls are what lua is worst at.
• This is cool [1] - shows module dependencies
• Fix dark mode bugs, make (finish?) dark mode for mobile
  • Special:Ask really breaks when switching to dark mode.
• Write some JS to make "This is a minor edit" "sticky" - can probably copy the "use last summary" thing
• Drops do we really need all this duplicated information? Its just another place that doesn't get updated.
• POE wiki has some cool solutions to problems that we also experience.
  • Their Template:Collapse has extra css to be more noticeable and have the entire displayed bar be a click area for the hide/show toggle.
  • They have a nice Gadget-responsive-tables.css and Gadget-responsive-tables.js that is used for their history, it caps the height of history but also lets users uncap the height.
  • Module:No globals throws an error when you read from a nil global, or write to any global. This helps catch typos, since lua global variables do not have any specific keyword for declaration, a typo in a local variable name will silently create/reference the global variable.
