Template:W::User:Dinoguy1000

Hi, I'm Dinoguy1000! I am an occasional contributor here (for the record, I have 17,607 edits - full list). Feel free to leave me messages; I'll respond as soon as I can. if you have questions on non-YGH Wiki-related issues, though, it would probably be better to contact me on Wikipedia or to email me.

Maintenance and cleanup

AWB stuff

So I don't have to keep working out how to do simple stuff - see also /awbtest.

Template replace

{{Errata
|name=%%pagename%%
}}

replaced with

{{Navigation}}

"Options" tab:

"Automatic changes" boxes all unchecked
"Find and replace" box checked; "Normal settings":
- {{Errata\s\|name=\s*?%%pagename%%\s}} replaced with {{Navigation}}
  - \s = newline/whitespace
  - \| = pipe
  - \s*? = 0 or more whitespace characters, lazy match
  - %%pagename%% = {{PAGENAME}}
- "Regex" and "Enabled" boxes checked
- all other boxes unchecked

Approximate name

'''''The Arabic name given is an approximation.'''''

replaced with (example only; there's quite a bit of variety in practice - see the range of regexes below)

{{Approximate name|Arabic}}

"Options" tab:

"Automatic changes" boxes all unchecked
"Find and replace" box checked; "Normal settings":
- '*The \[\[Card Names\:%%pagename%%\|(.+?)]],? name given is an approximation\.'* replaced with {{Approximate name|$1}}
  - '* = any number of consecutive ' (apostrophes)
  - \[ = opening square bracket
  - \: = colon (escaping it isn't strictly necessary but AWB doesn't like it unescaped)
  - %%pagename%% = {{PAGENAME}}
  - \| = pipe
  - (.+?) = any word, 1 or more characters (lazy match)
  - ,? = 0 or 1 commas
  - \. = period (works without escaping, but could lead to weird results since an unescaped period actually matches any character)
- '*The (.+?)\,? name given is an approximation\.'* replaced with {{Approximate name|$1}}
  - \,? = 0 or 1 commas, escaped to keep it from matching in (.+?)
- '*The (.+?)\,? (.+?)\,? (.*?)\,? (.+?)\,? (.+?)\,? and (.+?)\,? names given are approximations\.'* replaced with {{Approximate name|$1|$2|$3|$4|$5|$6}}
- '*The (.+?)\,? (.+?)\,? (.+?)\,? (.+?)\,? and (.+?)\,? names given are approximations\.'* replaced with {{Approximate name|$1|$2|$3|$4|$5}}
- '*The (.+?)\,? (.+?)\,? (.+?)\,? and (.+?)\,? names given are approximations\.'* replaced with {{Approximate name|$1|$2|$3|$4}}
- '*The (.+?)\,? (.+?)\,? and (.+?)\,? names given are approximations\.'* replaced with {{Approximate name|$1|$2|$3}}
- '*The (.+?)\,? and (.+?)\,? names given are approximations\.'* replaced with {{Approximate name|$1|$2}}
- "Regex" and "Enabled" boxes are checked (for all)
- all other boxes unchecked

Users using Template:Approximate name

This is a list of users I know to be actively translating card names into other languages and who tag the pages with {{Approximate name}} (the language/s they work in, linked to the relevant category/ies, follows their name). If you do similar work, or if you see an inaccuracy or omission in the list, please feel free to add or update the information. =)

Some random things I've contributed (to) here.

{{Approximate name}} (created)

{{Card search tip}} (created, not deployable yet)
{{Infobox video game}} (renamed, cleaned up)

{{OCGTCGSet}} (adopted, working off-and-on to get to a deployable state)
{{TCG-OCG card image}} (created, test-deployed, more tweaks to come)
Much of the highest-level categorization (starting at Category:Browse)
Lots of random Special:Specialpages log/report clearing

Card lists

Note: I'm probably going to just start from scratch; I've learned *a lot* about template coding since I created these.

Here's a test of some card list templates for users to use to show what and how many cards they have.

Todo

Improve formatting and styling
- ~~TOTAL column bg should be a different color~~
- totals should be bold
- Allow user-specified styling (pretty simple to do, I hope...)
  - Default and user-specified even- and odd-row styles? (how will it work with auto-hiding rows?)
Add set total row (must be done set-by-set... ugh.)
Implement hidden rows ~~and columns~~... (hidden columns work all-or-none for a given set)
- ~~when no copies of a card are owned~~ (only in row, not in boosterrow or promorow (which will be replaced by row anyways))
  - ~~No specific column naming (e.g. col1, col2, col3... instead of mu, m1, su, etc.)~~
- for more specific collection nuances (e.g. Magic vs. Spell) (partially done... main and region headers play nice, as does row) (hmm... I've got to rework it, see above)
Ultimate Rares get their own rows (and/or sections) (actually, no set has magic/spell and UtRs (at least in the TCG, not sure about the OCG), so I can reuse the appropriate columns). How about errata/misprint cards?
Test thoroughly (i.e. make template for several sets, use own collection for a basis)
Move templates out of sandbox when done testing
Make a template for every set
1. English-region
  1. Booster (and SE and SP) sets
  2. Reprint sets
  3. Duelist packs
  4. Videogame sets
  5. Tournament/Premium packs
  6. Duelist League sets
  7. Championship sets
  8. Any other promo sets
2. Japanese-region
  1. see above
3. any others
