Updating of listy lists

Updating of listy lists

Saw your userpage a few days ago and noticed you're trying to keep a few things updated, so I thought I'd give you a hand in that regard:

Of course, this didn't come without inconsistencies...

  • Unisex Clothing List has a section for Character Card outfits, the other 2 lists do not.
    • This section is also not separated by race.
  • Clothing List (Male) had most of it's Newbie Wears already listed, whereas Clothing List (Female) did not.
    • All this makes me wonder where newbie/character card stuff is even supposed to go.
  • We should consider changing the name of Unisex Clothing List to Clothing List (Unisex) to make it conform with the other two.

Also, I don't know if there's a fix for the Mouseoverbox Equipped Front image on these lists, it was designed that way because people normally shouldn't be naming these images themselves. I might just go around and fix them all manually though.

I'll continue working on the other lists, just remember to add new stuff to them whenever you make a page for a new outfit~

Thank you for all that you do :D

Inconsistencies are inevitable with a Wiki - er, I'm even guilty of it, since I can be indecisive >.>; (e.g. Designer Set pages /o/)

  • There was a time, I guess, where separating the Character Card outfits from the normal ones made sense, but I think that time has passed. So might as well just list them with the rest of the clothing.
    • Also, changing the name of the Unisex Clothing List makes perfect sense ^^
  • Mouseover boxes have confused me. I just had noticed that Unisex clothing/equipment image previews (e.g. Valencia's Cross Line Plate Boots on the Shoes List) wouldn't display on the List page, since the file names don't match the "Item Name Equipped Front.png" format (and are instead "Item Name Equipped Male Front.png" or "Item Name Equipped Female Front.png") Don't really want separate pages for the same item just because that item looks different on males or females o.O;
  • Organization is hard @_@

Well, I tried to make the list pages support multiple name formats but it just ended up being too much to bear (Too many expensive parser functions), there are just too many variations right now. The best way to fix this problem would probably mean changing all items to have "Equipped Front" at the end rather than some jumbled version of it. (e.g. Equipped Male Front Hood Up).

(There's actually a little mistake in the code I put, but it would have ended up with the same result either way.)

Unfortunately, a solution like that wouldn't last long when someone eventually decides to make a Tail List page.

Yeah - sometimes things are just too unwieldy to be practical x_x

That being said... would it be simpler/practical just to make, like, an EquipListUnisex template to use on the Unisex Clothing page? Or would just the coding in general be too bulky? There are many backgrounds functions that I'm not aware of, so I'm never really sure how much trouble something is to do @_@;;;

Either way, thank you again for all your work! orz
