Template talk:Loot

Documentation

Description:

Displays the given text as a loot link with the desired item quality (or gold for enchantments). The template checks to see if the item exists on WoWWiki before applying brackets. If the item is missing from WoWWiki, DB search links are added by Javascript. The pop-up feature is sometimes disabled due to load issues on the website.

The page name parameter, if passed, is used to link to a page different than the item's name.

Syntax:

{{loot|<quality>|<page_name>|<optional_item_name>}}

Example:

{{loot|Rare|Zulian Stone Axe}}

{{loot|uncommon|Arcane Tome|Arcane Tomes}}

{{loot|uncommon|Made up Wow item}}

{{loot|enchant|Enchant Weapon - Minor Beastslayer}}

Result:

[Zulian Stone Axe]

[Arcane Tomes]

[Made up Wow item]

[Enchant Weapon - Minor Beastslayer]

urlencode

Im trying to include this Template in my wiki, but isnt work, it dont know the command urlencode. Where it is declared?

Thanks. --GraBR 20:22, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

urlencode is a standard magic word found on Mediawiki wikis after v. 1.7. Do you have that version installed? --Sky (t · c · w) 20:29, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

hum.. v.1.6.10, ill upgrade and try again. Thanks --GraBR 00:50, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Please fix

Please add appropriate code so the article "An article that will never exist" is never linked. Simple, creative use of the #if tag will allow this. --Pcj (T•C) 23:03, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Still fixing is needed --Dyna18 15:04, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Icons?

Could an icon option be added for this template? Or is there an existing similar template with an icon option? I'm basically looking to improve the item references as objectives or rewards on quest pages. --Reacheround 14:44, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

No, this is just to link to the item page. Icons should go on the respective item page, using {{Tooltip}}. If you need to show the whole tooltip, simply include the item page. --Pcj (T•C) 15:40, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Fair enought :) --Reacheround 15:51, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Quest items?

What can I do to link to, for example, items of this class? PhilHibbs 16:16, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

the new tooltip

its great !, however, the "blabla is a rare quality item" yellow tooltip should no longer be displayed as it overlaps the bigger and better tooltip. User:CrazyJack/Sig 07:58, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

color doesnt appear

I`m trying to add this template to my wiki. I`ve added source from this site, but there is no colored names. It`s only internal link with red or blue highlight. Help me plz. wiki ver. 1.10

Drdead 12:56, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

MediaWiki:Common.css has CSS classes that are called. Kirkburn  talk  contr 15:00, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

In the Beast Lord Cuirass template there is an error that causes the number set to be "?" instead of "5" (last line in yellow) but i don't know how to modify it. --N'Nanz 11:05, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Fixed. If you see any others, feel free to fix those too. :P --Sky (t · c · w) 03:47, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

ID

So I was wondering if there's any way to add a line to the template which allows an id=xxxx field in the template. This would only be useful for items which have no page on the wiki, but would set the four miniature elinks to link directly to the appropriate page. Some items just don't need an article here, but a direct elink might be a nice replacement :)

Example: [Twilight Lexicon - Chapter 3]

Sorry for the ugliness in the code here, I had to subst the template in order to make my example :) Hekirou 14:04, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Include item icons?

I don't know how enormous a suggestion this is, but I know that people can write some crazy stuff. For instance, I don't even know how this template works. Anyways, how about setting up where the icon is included with the link? Perhaps it should be a different template for certain cases where people don't want to include loot icons for whatever reason. Feasible? Schmidt 02:45, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

See WoWWiki talk:Village pump#Loot links for my input (and hopefully other's to come) on this. -- Zeal ^(T/C)  13:49, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Removed ifexist

I understand the reason for this, but it should have been mentioned here after doing. Longtime users of this template expect loot links that don't exist locally to give helpful item DB search links. Now that doesn't work anymore. -- Fandyllic (talk · contr) 1:34 PM PST 7 Jun 2008

I might be able to cook something up using JS. Stand by. --PcjWowpedia wiki manager (TDrop me a line!•C207,729 contributions and counting) 22:02, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

This is now implemented using JavaScript. [blah] and whatnot. --PcjWowpedia wiki manager (TDrop me a line!•C207,729 contributions and counting) 00:57, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Support for Wrath of the Lich King βeta DBs

Pcj added support to the {{loot}} template to use JS to create search links for missing items in the new DBs for Wowhead and Thottbot.

To point a loot link to the new βeta DBs, just add |db=wtolk to your template wikicode, like so...

Missing item with search links:

• Wikicode: {{loot|rare|Made up Mysterious Loot|db=wotlk}}
• Result: [Made up Mysterious Loot]

Item we have (|db=wtolk not really needed):

• Wikicode: {{loot|epic|Band of the Kirin Tor|db=wotlk}}
• Result: [Band of the Kirin Tor]

So until the expansion is released, we can use these links. -- Fandyllic (talk · contr) 2:06 PM PST 9 Aug 2008

Parentheses Bug

These seem to cause problems with the mouseover. [Reins of the Ice Mammoth (Alliance)] and [Reins of the Ice Mammoth]. [Ebonweave] works just fine even though it doesn't even have an icon. Howbizr (talk) 16:20, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

That's because you were not using |disambigpage=. g0urra[T҂C] 16:37, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Wowhead merged WOTLK database since 3.0 patch

Note that wotlk.wowhead.com links redirect to www.wowhead.com now. -Howbizr (talk) 16:52, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Mouseover Problem?

But I have NO idea why. [Glyph of the Wise] Everything looks identical to [Glyph of Lay on Hands] and it's fine.

Ideas? I discovered the problem: Paladin glyphs. -Howbizr (talk) 16:43, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

That was because [Glyph of the Wise] had an incorrect name on its tooltip. g0urra[T҂C] 16:50, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
