	* I saw the sandbox, it's very impressive. I'm quite partial to style #2, I think we should just use CSS to do anything we want in the template, something like provide "idname", "iddetails" and "idaffects" parts for the ID and styling them in a custom manner however we want. I also like the description stuff, but I'm undecided on the particular style yet. --[[User:Poromenos\|Poromenos]] 18:34, 3 September 2008 (UTC)		* I saw the sandbox, it's very impressive.

	~~== Template ==~~

	Hey, I notice you've been contributing a lot to RoDpedia lately. While this is awesome, you really need to follow the original templates put in place. I have links to what they look like in my profile thingy. Your way may be more efficient, and perhaps you can implement it according to the guidelines. If you're wondering what the hell I'm talking about, here are a few examples.
	~~1. Area directions need to be at the top of the page. This is not for aesthetic reasons, it is simply the most important information the page has to offer.~~
	~~2. Proper indentation for item identifies and area help file info. This makes it easy to read, and keeps it looking like the MUD.~~

	~~=== Area Menu ===~~

	* Copy the full "areas" command from RoD into a file called areas.txt and remote extra spacing (replace " " with " " until you can't)
	* Create and run a batch file with the following code:
	~~<pre>~~
	~~@echo off~~
	~~setlocal~~
	~~set i=0~~
	~~echo "\|-"> areas2.txt~~
	~~for /f "tokens=2 delims=\|(" %%i in (areas.txt) do call :start %%i~~
	~~endlocal~~
	~~goto :eof~~

	~~:start2~~

	~~if "%t%"=="" ( set "t=[[%]]" ) else ( set "t=%t% \|\| [[%]]" )~~
	~~if "%i%"=="2" call :submit "%t%"~~

	~~echo "\|-">> areas2.txt~~
	~~set i=0~~
	~~set t=~~
	~~goto :eof~~
	~~</pre>~~
	* Open areas2.txt and replace quotation marks w/ nothing to remove them all
	* You now have the body of the [[Template:Areamenu]]. Do not overwrite the whole thing, only the body, you will be able to tell.

	~~===Command Menu===~~

	* Create a long text file of commands directly from inside RoD via commands. Use Excel to turn this list into 1 column and alphabetize it. Save it as commands.txt
	* Create and run a batch file with this code:
	~~<pre>~~
	~~@echo off~~
	~~setlocal~~
	~~set i=0~~
	~~echo "\|-"> commands2.txt~~
	~~for /f %%i in (commands.txt) do call :start %%i~~

	~~:start~~
	~~set /a i+=1~~
	~~if "%t%"=="" ( set "t=[[%~1]]" ) else ( set "t=%t% \|\| [[%~1]]" )~~
	~~if "%i%"=="3" call :submit "%t%"~~
	~~goto :eof~~

	~~:submit~~
	~~echo "\|%~1">> commands2.txt~~
	~~echo "\|-">> commands2.txt~~
	~~set i=0~~
	~~set t=~~
	~~goto :eof~~
	~~</pre>~~
	* Open commands2.txt and replace all quotation marks w/ nothing to remove them
	* Copy the resulting text into the [[Template:Commandmenu]] body

	~~===Skill Menu===~~

	* Grab the list of skills off of the category skill page for the specific class you are updating
	* Create and run a batch file with this code:
	~~<pre>~~
	~~@echo off~~
	~~setlocal~~
	~~echo "\|-"> skills2.txt~~
	~~for /f "tokens=1,2,3,4 delims=:=" %%i in (skills.txt) do call :start "%%i" "%%j" "%%k" "%%l"~~
	~~endlocal~~
	~~goto :eof~~

	~~:start~~
	~~if "%~2"=="" for /f "tokens=2" %%i in ("%~1") do set level=%%i& goto :eof~~
	~~for /f "tokens=2 delims=[]" %%i in ("%~2") do set skill=[[%%i]]~~
	~~for /f "tokens=1" %%i in ("%~3") do set max=%%i~~
	~~echo "\|%level% \|\| %skill% \|\| %max% \|\| %~4">> skills2.txt~~
	~~echo "\|-">> skills2.txt~~
	~~goto :eof~~
	~~</pre>~~
	* Open skills2.txt and replace all quotation marks w/ nothing to remove them
	* The resulting text can be used to create a skill table for any class page. See the warrior class for example syntax.

	I modified the style of the class page to a more user friendly version. Moving the in-game help text to the bottom since it is pretty ugly to read on a webpage and adding the skill list to avoid having to use the category pages which don't lend themselves to being easy to navigate. Plus the skill category pages themselves seem to be misused by being used for both article listings and the skills themselves, redundant. Thoughts?

	~~If this wiki had the wikipedia common.css, I would make the table differently and probably have it look a bit better. I'd like some feedback before I modify any other class pages.~~
