Just a few questions...

Jump to: navigation, search

Luberum Stone Fall was one of the pages a few of the editors were discussing about. They decided to separate the information outside the page template to avoid the issue. To replicate this error, just copy the information under the Description heading and paste it within the description parameter.

I don't think it's a parser function problem. If you looked at the the bottom, the 1000 character limit also affects semantic properties.

I have disabled property "Has effect description" for the equipment template. I don't think we will be searching descriptions, just numbers(levels) or class requirements.

It could take awhile for the server to update semantics, as I still see the error while editing Luberum Stone Fall. Try again tomorrow.

Alright. It wasn't semantics.

It is probably Parser functions. The equipment template is trying to replace asterisks(*) with the HTML equivalent from code {{#replace:{{{description}}}|*|& #42;}} and we are sending over 1000 characters.

I would suggest you send a message to User:Gardios to ask why he/she used a replace function. Maybe description with asterisks fails in the template, so Gardios wanted HTML

I messaged him on Discord, but I don't expect a response anytime soon. I don't believe he plays DFO or goes to the wiki anymore.

Poo. While I can go contact the site admin, she probably will ask if we can workaround this. For security reasons, it should be set to low as possible.

If she does allow us to change $wgPFStringLenghtLimit, do you have a number we should set to? I'm thinking maybe 15,000 since this is a description.

We also should figure out why replace is being used, cause removing that in the template might solve our problem. reference edit

You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reason:

The action you have requested is limited to users in the group: Users.

Well, back when DFO wiki was being revamped, we did have an issue with Template:IconLink. But it shouldn't cause a problem with 1000 characters. Otherwise, Skill pages would fail too.

To test, I copied Luberum Stone Fall's description to skill page description and it renders perfectly. This leads me to something else has a problem on Template:EquipmentInfo.

Gardios did leave a comment that "write skill bonuses, legacy bonuses, description and flavor text into the var 'effects' ". So the variable 'effects' might be exceeding 1000 characters. Further testing needs to be done though...

Alright. It's working now.

Go ahead and edit any of the pages that are failing, I tested Luberum Stone Fall. Preview the template User:Dfoplayer/TestEquipmentInfo by changing {{Equipment infobox to {{User:Dfoplayer/TestEquipmentInfo

If it looks good, we can move the changes to the live template and let the other editors know that description can have the full text back.

Alright. I'll go ahead and push the changes to the actual template.
