Forum:OCG Ruling Sources

Konami starts to put OCG rulings on the card database site(japanese version)[1] and now the official faq also redirects to that page. So now all the source links that we have on the wiki for the ocg rulings are dead links(They redirects to main page of the database). So we need update the reference/source for all OCG rulings now.--X-Metaman (talk • contribs) 18:55, August 3, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, it's going to be a pain, updating all the old links. One thing that could help make the code cleaner and maybe quicker to add would be a template where you just enter the id of the ruling. So we'd use something like...

<ref>{{ja ruling ref|10000|Can I use "Proto-Cyber ​​Dragon" as Fusion Material for "Cyber ​​End Dragon"?}}</ref>

... which would be the same as saying...

<ref>[http://www.db.yugioh-card.com/yugiohdb/faq_search.action?ope=5&fid=10000&request_locale=ja db.yugioh-card.com] Q&A » Can I use "Proto-Cyber ​​Dragon" as Fusion Material for "Cyber ​​End Dragon"?</ref>

It will take a lot of time to update the rulings with their new links, but it must be done. That template Deltaneos made may help and save us some time. Delta, can you make one for these links too?:

something like: <ref>{{ja s ruling ref|4029|The Wicked Worm Beast}}</ref>

Aren't the numbers we are going to put into that template always going to be the same as the "database_id" for that page? since the database seems to do the "mentions in other rulings" thing for us I think.

If it is, we can just make "database_id" a SMW query and so we only need to update the main card page and bots can update the rulings pages. -Falzar FZ- (talk page|useful stuff) 13:37, August 6, 2012 (UTC)
