:::::::::::: The converter suggested by Charles in the topic above this one could free up between 25.000 and 50.000 characters, if everything goes according to plan. How many more do we need? {{User:Peralta/Signature}} 21:43, 10 September 2012 (BST) | |||
:::::::::::::Quadrant Maps and Full Map are completely independent of eachother now. Quadrant Maps just need to be touched up aesthetically (narrow down the border and whatnot).

Added <nowiki>{{{status}}}</nowiki> to building template B. Quadrant maps are still ok and hovering over a square now shows building name and status. Looking around for some other small things :) {{User:Peralta/Signature}} 15:14, 12 September 2012 (BST) | |||
:Addding the status on hover seems kinda redundant to me (doesn't provide anything new if you know the color code: I know its safe because its green)... but then again, we can just remove the Building Status Key from the Quadrant maps. I made the big map clickable and linked to the quadrant maps. -[[User:Charles Whipplebotum|Charles Whipplebotum]] 21:40, 12 September 2012 (BST) | |||
::I'd vote against removing the building status key. I find it much quicker to see what color is what than having to position my mouse over such small squares. --{{User:Klexur/Signature}} 21:45, 12 September 2012 (BST) | |||
:::I had reduced the size of the Quadrant Maps so the key could fit without having to scroll (on my screen at least). I'll undo the size reduction. -[[User:Charles Whipplebotum|Charles Whipplebotum]] | |||
::::Another idea instead of showing the status on hover could be to show <nowiki>{{{user}}}</nowiki> since it includes the last time the status was updated. --{{User:Klexur/Signature}} 17:40, 13 September 2012 (BST) | |||
:::::I think that's not a bad idea actually, although some people's status updates really can be quite long. And while the color codes are pretty easy for safe, ruined and unknown, I find it easy to just hover over a building for the other shades :) And small?

== Big map fixes == | |||
Having problem with the conversion to pipes because there is a "|" in the middle of the color reference. But it gave me another idea... Replacing <nowiki>style="background:</nowiki> with <nowiki>bgcolor="</nowiki> tried it on S01 and it cut out ~500 characters. -[[User:Charles Whipplebotum|Charles Whipplebotum]] 06:34, 11 September 2012 (BST) | |||
:I changed [[User:DangerReport/A]] so that it now calls shorter named templates. For example, [[Template:StatusMap unknown]] is now [[Template:SM unknown]]. NOt sure exactly how much it helped because Charlie is making other changes but it probably had some effect. The template calls could be whittled even a bit further I think if templates name [[Template:unknown]] [[Template:safe]], etc were made and passed through. We'll have to see how Charlie's fix works. Looks like we're up to 93. ~[[Image:Vsig.png|link=User:Vapor]] <sub>07:12, 11 September 2012 (UTC)</sub> | |||
::'''''IT WORKS! 100 SUBURBS DISPLAYED SIMULTANEOUSLY!''''' Managed to free up ~50000 characters. I have a feeling it wasn't just my fix. '''Props to Vapor for his work as well!''' Now we'll never know who fixed it :D ! I saw that Floyde Stadium was showing up as pink on the big map and found it had an incorrect status. Before fixing the status I checked the quadrant map it was black. How could the maps display different colors? Is this a fluke or was someone working on something? -[[User:Charles Whipplebotum|Charles Whipplebotum]] 09:22, 11 September 2012 (BST) | |||
:::Woot! Now we just need to get more people to update building status reports more frequently. Which reminds me, would it be possible to automate pulling the barricade levels from UDBrain reports? --{{User:Klexur/Signature}} 15:58, 11 September 2012 (BST) | |||
:::Aweome. At the risk of suggesting something that could potentially break the page again, I think some style is needed. At minimum, I think the map should be centered and the legend added below the map. Legend can be subst'd to prevent more template calls. Maybe add x,y grid to top and left like the quadrant map. As well, link to the quadrant maps from the big map. I think it can all be done without breaking the page as long as no more templates are called. ~[[Image:Vsig.png|link=User:Vapor]] <sub>16:47, 11 September 2012 (UTC)</sub> | |||
::::Centered and map legend added. It took me three tries to get it submitted (page refused to load twice) so maaaaybe we should keep it like this, on the danger of sounding too careful, but I'd hate to give the page a loading time of half an hour :P And for the record, Charles, me and several other people from the DEM Academy have been updating as many sitreps as we can get our greedy hands on, not to forget Bob Moncrief who keeps a very vigilant eye on the radio ;) {{User:Peralta/Signature}} 17:30, 11 September 2012 (BST) | |||

:::::: I respectfully disagree, this keeps it plain and simple. I will, however, work on the current set-up, with a tad more info, etc. {{User:Peralta/Signature}} 17:58, 11 September 2012 (BST) | |||
:::::::Wait, what? Lol Charles went ahead and did it any way so now I'm confused what you were disagreeing about. --{{User:Klexur/Signature}} 18:02, 11 September 2012 (BST) | |||
::::::::<nowiki>*sigh*</nowiki> Never mind :) If Charles did it, I wouldn't dare disagreeing with him... There ain't nobody out there knowing more about the code behind each line and each pixel in the project than he does :) {{User:Peralta/Signature}} 18:22, 11 September 2012 (BST) | |||
:::::::::Oh sorry. Didn't know it was a controversy. The Building Status Key is smaller by several hundred characters and indicates what is being displayed on the map. I made that change before posting earlier. -[[User:Charles Whipplebotum|Charles Whipplebotum]] 02:49, 12 September 2012 (BST) | |||
I still can't believe we actually managed to get it up to [[User:DangerReport/DangerCenter|100 suburbs]]. Considering we started in the 30s and thought we were already pushing it at that point, this is incredibly impressive. You guys just don't take no for an answer. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 21:55, 11 September 2012 (BST) | |||
:Well, we only really encountered problems after the fifties, and the real issue was getting it to 90 and finally 100 :) The collaborations here were so great most problems survived shorter than a survivor in the middle of Ridleybank yelling 'RRF SUCKS' ;) {{User:Peralta/Signature}} 02:08, 12 September 2012 (BST) | |||

:::Cute joke? Click the green B in my signature ;) And I never expected it to be going so fast, never mind actually succeeding when my first mentionning of it created a tidal wave of "Doomed to fail"-reasons.

::::Well to be honest, "Doomed to Fail" wasn't too far off the mark. These are without a doubt the largest pages on the wiki and that final push only ''juuuust'' got it under the threshold.

:::::Agreed. For now, changes are still being made, potentially to hundreds of pages, so protecting them might mean more work in the near future. They'll eventually want to get protected once everything settles down, but not for now, since it's still in active development. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 18:42, 11 September 2012 (BST) | |||
== Uses == | |||
Apart from the big map and the quadrant map, I've been looking at the suburb template to implement the status maps as well. | |||
Looking at it, I think it may be a pretty good idea to replace the EMR with this, since honestly: only veterans know what that EMR means and even then it's hardly used. The visual representation of the suburb we provide would mean a very big improvement I think. | |||
A second option would be adding a new line in the template, with the map on the left and a very short status key on the right. | |||
A third option would be having the suburb status map occupy both spaces, thus being easier to spot. | |||
Your suggestions? {{User:Peralta/Signature}} 15:01, 12 September 2012 (BST) | |||
:I'd be more inclined to have it replace the phone mast, then bump the phone mast down to have a whole line to itself, that way we have a group of squares together, and it'd also be right under the TRP map for the suburb, making it easier to see which TRPs were up or down in the map. It also preserves the EMR, which serves as a single point that can be updated to represent the entire suburb, making it both easy and quick to update, as well as more likely to have been updated recently, making it more relevant. | |||
:Also, it'd be nice if for that version of the map you could make each block a clickable link that would take you to a page where you could update the block's DangerReport. Of course, that'd likely mean making even more versions of the various templates, but I think it'd be worth it, and I've done stuff like that in the past. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 15:55, 12 September 2012 (BST) | |||
::I'll look into it during my next break, shouldn't be too hard. {{User:Peralta/Signature}} 15:59, 12 September 2012 (BST) | |||
:::Instead of making more versions of the suburbs would it be possible to make a {{CodeInline|{{{template}}}}} variable for each building? To clarify I mean where it currently says {{CodeInline|<nowiki>style="background:#{{../Palprey Road Police Department|template=../B}}</nowiki>}} you could replace the {{CodeInline|../B}} with the variable. This way you could then assign it globally to [[User:DangerReport/A|A]], [[User:DangerReport/B|B]], [[User:DangerReport/C|C]], or even [[User:DangerReport/D|D]] and each could do something slightly different. | |||
:::As a side question, why does [[User:DangerReport/C|C]] exist when its only difference is a space? --{{User:Klexur/Signature}} 21:18, 12 September 2012 (BST) | |||
::::On your side question: I used it to test out the hover function (which sounds waaaaay cooler at first, before you realise it's about hovering text ^^ ) {{User:Peralta/Signature}} 21:20, 12 September 2012 (BST) | |||
:::::Mmmm...yes and no. Yes, we can do something like what you're talking about to save work and enable better reuse. Unfortunately, the changes I was talking about are more complicated than that, since we'll need to add links to every single td element, and that can't be done via a template that is inserted where we're currently inserting A and B. A better alternative might be to replace <code><nowiki><td bgcolor="#{{../Palprey Road Police Department|template=../A}}"></td></nowiki></code> with something like <code><nowiki>{{../D|Palprey Road Police Department|A}}</nowiki></code>, then have D contain <code><nowiki><td bgcolor="#{{../{{{1}}}|template=../{{{2}}}}}"></td></nowiki></code>. Then, to do something like what I was talking about, we'd just use E instead of D, and E would have those extra elements in it. We could also combine that with your idea by replacing the D or E with a variable, such as <code><nowiki>{{{1}}}</nowiki></code>. Of course, adding that extra layer also means adding a few extra { and } for variables, and that may very well push us over the top, hence why simply making some new suburb pages (we already used Q and S, so maybe R?) with the links might really just be the best way to go. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 21:53, 12 September 2012 (BST) | |||

:::::::Oh, come on :) This wouldn't have been half as fun if not for the challenge :) I loved how I went to bed pondering over one problem or another, and by the time I woke up, there were several suggestions and Charles had already gone ahead and make it happen!

== This is fucking evil == | |||
Wow this is pretty nuts. Like pretty god damned nuts. | |||
Anyway, some further suggestions for increased evilness: | |||
* Move [[User:DangerReport/A]] to the template namespace. Reduce template call to template=A. | |||
* Renaming the 'template' variable to 't' has been mentioned. But you're thinking too small. Rename it to '1'. Instead of {{CodeInline|<nowiki>|t=A}}</nowiki>}} you can use {{CodeInline|<nowiki>|A}}</nowiki>}} like all the cool cats. | |||
* Change [[Template:SM unknown]] and others to use a template for the category. Unless it has changed recently, a template in a noinclude does not expand and thus does not count against limits. The length of the noinclude does count though, so by using a half dozen characters to call a template, that's much better than inlining it. | |||
* If you're feeling really evil, remove the noinclude altogether, because that's like a trillion characters compared to a mere 3 for a short hex code. Sucks for organization though. | |||
* An idea that's not really used anywhere: Move styles to the sitewide CSS. You can remove all the inline styles and just stick an id on the whole thing. Probably a good idea for some of the often used CSS in lots of things to be honest. | |||
* Bring back the rule that users should input a status in lowercase. A while ago somebody stuck a call to lc: on a status somewhere which means it's now everywhere. You can save some characters by removing that call - but obviously wrongly cased statuses will break. | |||
* Move all reports. User:DangerReport/Long Ass Name becomes Template:DR/XXYY. (Ok we've known that since before I was here. It's just too much effort to change :P) Shorter and again allows you to drop the namespace prefix. | |||
I've missed the boat on this, but I do wonder how much the non-silly suggestions might buy you :) {{User:The_Rooster/Sig}} 19:47, 25 September 2012 (BST) | |||
:I missed you. <3 {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 20:38, 25 September 2012 (BST) | |||
::Seriously though, most of these are good, but the second one has been mentioned, and the issue with it is that we'd need to rename it in all 10,000 DangerReports, so we need a bot for that (*hint hint nudge nudge*). We'd also need to fix any existing uses of it, and we'd be making the functionality less useful for other people that use it too. Moving things to the CSS really would be a great idea, but that's a path I tend to avoid mentioning, just because it's kinda not been done much and the proper ways to go about doing it haven't really been ironed out yet for sysops. And a lowercase rule is still in place, but we just don't trust users to abide by it, last I checked. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 20:38, 25 September 2012 (BST) | |||
:::I'm a bit going overkill in RL and Charles has had a seizure after the previous buttload of work I think, so any major changes right now are not to be expected :) Also, the basic map kind of is what we already envisioned, I'm thinking about some spin-offs and a more notable presence on the wiki, but that's for as soon as I have the time :) {{User:Peralta/Signature}} 18:03, 26 September 2012 (BST) | |||

ChatterWhat happened to the ones that were done on the first line? -- Johnny Twotoes 02:07, 4 September 2012 (BST)
How about moving this project to the User:DangerReport namespace. Then, you'd be able to use templates formatted like {{../The Blackmore Building}} instead of {{User:DangerReport:The Blackmore Building}}. That ought to shave off thousands of bytes from each template call. ~ 01:17, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
GeneralbotI have heard a ton of talking about this, yet have only seen results of its actions once or twice.
-- Johnny Twotoes 15:09, 7 September 2012 (BST)
Maps moved to DangerReportSo I've edited and moved everything over to User:DangerReport (Incomplete full map and quadrant maps). 83 suburbs is definitely the max the wiki can handle. Looks like I'll be undoing the suburb names and changing User:DangerReport/A for use with the quadrant maps. -Charles Whipplebotum 05:30, 10 September 2012 (BST)
Quadrant mapsIf we create individual pages for the Quadrant map (basicly copying the suburb pages for the giant one), it would be possible to include something along the line of "BUILDING NAME, SUBURB NAME" when hovering over each part, right? -- Johnny Twotoes 14:23, 10 September 2012 (BST)
Added {{{status}}} to building template B. Quadrant maps are still ok and hovering over a square now shows building name and status. Looking around for some other small things :) PB&J 15:14, 12 September 2012 (BST)

UsesApart from the big map and the quadrant map, I've been looking at the suburb template to implement the status maps as well. Looking at it, I think it may be a pretty good idea to replace the EMR with this, since honestly: only veterans know what that EMR means and even then it's hardly used. The visual representation of the suburb we provide would mean a very big improvement I think. A second option would be adding a new line in the template, with the map on the left and a very short status key on the right. A third option would be having the suburb status map occupy both spaces, thus being easier to spot. Your suggestions? PB&J 15:01, 12 September 2012 (BST)
This is fucking evilWow this is pretty nuts. Like pretty god damned nuts. Anyway, some further suggestions for increased evilness:
I've missed the boat on this, but I do wonder how much the non-silly suggestions might buy you :) -- RoosterDragon 19:47, 25 September 2012 (BST)
October Surprise (Suburb Templates)I've gone ahead and updated Template:Suburb with a Suburb-sized Danger Center Report and verified it working on all suburb pages. Enjoy! -Charles Whipplebotum 03:05, 31 October 2012 (UTC) |
