qualifierX

I think it would be helpful to have something like:

entryX = Landwalk

qualifierX = Nonbasic

the have the link work with the entry and have the qualifier appear in parenthesis after the mechanic. But not today. Merry Christmas - Yandere Sliver 17:30, 25 December 2016 (UTC)

Already planning something like this. --Corveroth (talk) 01:02, 26 December 2016 (UTC)

Yes, that edit wiped a few of the changes you made. I got it covered, just not tonight. --Corveroth (talk) 05:48, 27 December 2016 (UTC)

Alright, what say you to that? I know the subentry system causes those rows to sort a little oddly when sorted by rating, but otherwise, I think it works alright. --Corveroth (talk) 03:50, 28 December 2016 (UTC)

It looks very cool. As you already mentioned, I would have expected that Bushido would sort under 8 (basically the main entry). However currently I don't really get why it sorts incorrectly. - Yandere Sliver 04:15, 28 December 2016 (UTC)

Something about the sorting javascript doesn't handle it right. I'm not sure exactly what it is - whether it reads that row as "84", or "8\n4", or whatever, but it parses it as coming after 11... alphabetically, probably. The JS responsible is obfuscated and comes down from Curse anyways, so I can't change it. It comes down to a choice between having "subentries", as I'm calling them, as a part of the "main" row, which damages the sorting slightly; or having them as separate rows, which allows them to be sorted away from the main row. I favor the former, of course. --Corveroth (talk) 04:23, 28 December 2016 (UTC)

(reset indent) I updated the Flanking entry. I think that approach would be better. Simply because it sorts correctly when sorted by Mechanic and by Latest Ranking. The subentry logic looks more pretty, but I think it is less functional. It also don't need any additional code since everything already is there. - Yandere Sliver 04:37, 28 December 2016 (UTC)

Turns out it can be forced to sort rows properly. As is now, Bushido sorts into the 8s (according to the primary entry for that box). Do you think that addresses the issues sufficiently, or do you still think the variant rows need to be separate? --Corveroth (talk) 06:40, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

It is fine from my perspective that was my only major concern. By the way can you have more then one subentry? I mean is is currently not necessary. Well, we can get to it when it becomes necessary. - Yandere Sliver 06:54, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

I doubt that will ever be needed, but no, it isn't currently supported. I'll be tied up tomorrow, but come Friday I'll look into building this out into a proper article. I've got even more data to work with, this is just the main attraction.

At some point in the future, I may try to rework the module to use a more traditional wikitext format for the ratings lists (like how navbox just uses list formatting). My main concern there is ensuring that editors input the data in a well-formed manner. Right now, at least, the unusual syntax is a reminder to pay attention to detail. --Corveroth (talk) 07:02, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

Storm Scale Articles

What I just realized is that the articles from the wizard pages are missing:

• Ravnica
• Tarkir
• Zendikar

On the to-do list, I just wanted to get the blog import done first since that's the part that really wanted automation, then work out the layout. Thanks for the list. --Corveroth (talk) 18:49, 27 December 2016 (UTC)
