Revision as of 07:36, 14 January 2017

Please use the module indirectly via Template:CR. Using the module directly is more likely to break in the future.

Bug Reports

  • lookup=Effects returns the heading "6. Spells, Abilities, and Effects" rather than rule 609, "Effects". Affected page: Effects
  • lookup=Prevention Effects extends to the next heading (same bug as above). Affected page: Prevention Effect

To-do list (coding changes to the module)

  • Allow title-based lookups to be case independent. At the moment, lookup=Creatures works, but lookup=creatures does not.
  • Build a list of common names for rules that are not titled as such in the CR, but which would be accepted by the module.
    • For example, the module might allow {{CR|lookup=Legend Rule}}, despite no title in the CR named "Legend Rule", and use an internal list of such faux-titles to equate that lookup with the correct index (in this case, at the moment, 704.5k).
  • Look into a means of allowing lookups for the General titles without using indices. The TOC output appends the title of the section, but this doesn't currently work on input.

Visual styling requests

Feel free to use this heading to contribute and debate any suggestions or requests for alterations to the visual style of output from the module.

Other requests

Under consideration

  • Linking key phrases within the transcluded text - key words like "trample" and rules titles like "end step".
  • Replacing {W}, {1}, {S}, etc with their symbols
    • Why: Looks pretty.
    • Why not: The official CR documents use the text representations of those symbols. I want both an honest quote and to reinforce that those representations are canonical.
  • Adding a way to specify multiple rules that are printed in the same rulebox for use-cases like Untap#Untap_symbol --Hanmac (talk) 15:23, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
    • Why should two separate rules occupy the same box, rather than be separate quotes? Is it simply due to the space taken by the extra title, padding, margin? Corveroth (talk) 18:42, 5 August 2015 (UTC)

Mobile update

At long long last, the rules modules are now readable on mobile. In the process, other things may have broken or look odd. Please keep an eye out for any issues, and check out the new hotness on your phone or tablet! --Corveroth (talk) 07:30, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

Pre-release content

I'm open to ideas on how to handle, if at all, rules text for mechanics for which the CR has not yet been updated. I don't really want to lean on educated guesses from the community, but I wish there was something we could offer for the pre-release. --Corveroth (talk) 07:36, 14 January 2017 (UTC)
