User:Xeon/scripts/makeeliteaq.pl


 * 1) !/usr/local/bin/perl


 * 1) This code works with http://gw.gamewikis.org as of the 1 August 2007


 * 1) INFORMATION
 * 2) A dynamic way to exact acquisition details from elite skill articles
 * 3) This script was originally not ment to be used again, therefore the script is not formated correctly for such a thing and is undocumented


 * 1) DISCLAIMER
 * 2) The original author http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/User:Xeon does not take responsibility for your use of the software, you use this software at your own risk
 * 3) This script may be used & modified without restriction (public domain)


 * 1) INSTRUCTIONS
 * 2) change -> @lines = ("Category:Elite_skills", "Category:Elite_skills&from=Second+Wind");
 * 3) to the url of each list header, it does not automatically retrieve the urls of each category list
 * 4) some pages have details next to the acq details on purpose, these must be changed as they cannot be automatically removed
 * 5) checks the end of acq by finding "=" so if there are no ==related articles== it will ignore that acq, easy fix in script, i just manually fixed it instead of fixing the script because there were only 4 of them


 * 1) KNOWN BUGS
