 * Thank you, and you've indirectly helped me learn a new trick, thanks to those naughty dangling asterisks of yours. :p  Nwash 10:49, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Welcome! You've proven a definite asset, and we do lack people who like to dig into wikicode. :) Be sure to watch Forum:Coding. -- ◄mendel► 08:58, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks, and thanks for helping me unlock the skill .  Might come in handy in removing other Parser Fial hexes in the future, among other things.  I noticed  in the magic word list on the MediaWiki wiki, but didn't read close enough to see it was the missing piece I needed.  I'll make sure I get Forum:Coding on my watchlist.

 * I've been collecting tricks like that for a year now. :) If you notice any yourself, please share! -- ◄mendel► 17:20, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Why ULC?
"Because the MediaWiki designers hate those of us who learned proper article capitalization" &mdash; actually, the reason is probably that it allows linking to other articles from wikitext without adjusting the link target - I have changed a lot of end of the world to end of the world as I adjusted those links. But it does take getting used to, I had to adjust at first as well. -- ◄mendel► 17:42, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Meh, I don't blame GuildWiki's policy. Given the way the linking works in the software, it makes sense.
 * But a case-insensitive comparison in any programming language I'm familiar with, and SQL, for that matter, isn't exactly hard to do, so I'm not sure why the designers of the MediaWiki software chose only to make the first character case-insensitive in links. Then the case of the entire article title would not be relevant for linking.  I can only assume they saw some advantage in case sensitivity for some reason... one that currently eludes me.  At any rate, that's the only reason I made the comment--because I'm confused not about why ULC is a good idea, but why the software was designed in a way that makes it so.

Decisions, decisions
For the first time, I've actually managed to amass and hold on to more than 100 platinum. Sadly, I'm divided on what to do with it... signets of capture for the Skill Hunter titles? The two additional armor sets I need for Terra's Monument of Resilience? Getting the skill trainer and scroll trader for the Temple of Courage guild hall for the sake of completeness? ... Decisions, decisions. Nwash 20:52, 2 June 2009 (UTC)


 * My vote goes towards the Skill hunter title, or maaybe the armors, for what it's worth :) --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]] -- (contribs) &emsp;(talk)  20:58, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Skill hunters. You'll never regret that. As soon as I get my z-keys, I'm gonna do Prof. Arnout aka The Emperors Angel 06:43, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
