what if it has multiple professions? I don't see that in any of your examples. &mdash;♥ Jedi ♥ Rogue ♥ 05:56, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Yeah, make us an example of that one. Also, if while you're working on this you can come up with an algorithm, we could try to automate the task. And I'm sure plenty of folks would help.&mdash;♥ Jedi ♥ Rogue ♥ 06:01, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Sheesh, the nerve of some people. When I (the god damn blue.rellik), jerk to all and friend to none decides to actually be helpful for once, every is suddenly all over me like flies over dog crap (except I'm not dog crap however the rest of the analogy fits). Seriously though I'll give it a shot and see how it goes - b.r // talk  11:00, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
 * UPDATE: I can't get it to work, someone that doesn't suck with wiki stuff would be highly appreciated here (I'm looking at you Ismael and Pan). I'm not sure about making it automated though, as loath as I am to have to go through every single god damn monster page I was planning on fixing up any other problems as well (such as adding a ToC, changing (Elite)/(Unique)/(Quest Item) to lower case) - b.r // talk  11:22, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Get into AWB, you can tell it to do some automated changes, then it shows you a preview (or a diff, press the button of your choice) and it gives you an edit box. Great for stuff like that, plus it works off a list of pages so when you save, it automatically loads the next one. Running as a bot is just an option. --mendel 17:03, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Malfunctioning Golem: Skills used
Golem Boosters should have a (monster skill) link, but that doesn't work yet. Maybe we can fix the image by doing a redirect (50 redirects, more like it). Hmmm. --mendel 17:03, 4 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Use an #ifexist: to default to the monster skill icon if one with the skill name doesn't exist. A similar thing is done in .  Modifying the code from your Skill list item:

}}


 * Result:

I made a template
... that actually makes the skill list more readable than before. Only does the two column version for the time being, though; allows up to 8 skills per column, and any profession code (e.g. Mo) including X that has a ...-color template. Example: skills from User:Blue.rellik/testMonster4.

If anyone can figure out why I need the ifs in the first column (and not in the second) if I don't want to get empty p tags in the HTML, I'd be grateful. --mendel 11:07, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
 * That template will be highly appreciated, it'll make most of the monster pages (90% of them) much easier to format - b.r // talk  11:22, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
 * At present, the template does 1-6 columns in one row, with no fixed column width. I want it to do two rows for 4-6 skill sets (do we need more than that?), and I'd appreciate any input on formatting. That'll probably get adapted based on the popularity of your mockups. Would you mind if I added my box at the bottom of your mockups (maybe a mendel's box section) so we can compare them side-by-side?
 * Expect this box to temporarily look broken while I'm working on it. --mendel 16:46, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

No color versions
These look good. I am sucker for color, but I can see how many people would prefer the uncolored variant. I'd prefer it to have the same kind of border as the infobox, though - that will look well with the horizontal rules on my browser. --mendel 07:38, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm in the same boat, I like the colour however I do agree that they are somewhat clashing/distracting - b.r // talk  07:38, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Seconded. However, without any color or borders, it looks like stuff is just floating around in whitespace.  I would at least like to see table-like borders inside separating the columns.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.jpg]] 17:46, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I would, too, but I need to take a crash course in CSS first. --mendel 18:09, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Give the table the attribute  (valid HTML 4.01, definition here).  If you try doing it with CSS you'll have to put a style attribute on every single cell (I think... maybe only every row, but it's still annoying).  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 18:23, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Can't get it to work; if you want to try, feel free to mercilessly edit User:M.mendel/Sandbox until it looks ok. --mendel 22:35, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
