This'll take a while until we get a few more Chronicle members over here. Is there an easy way to make all the names Wiki entries? That'll save a lot of time and should speed things up greatly (If there's a shortcut for it).

  • Put double brackets around the name (and just the name; don't include anything in the parenthesis), as if you were creating a link. Someone can then click on the link to fill in the information. Mad 15:24, 6 November 2007 (EST)

I don't think there is a fast way. And the morons should always be put in the right catagory (troll or SDN-troll), so that they are listed in the correct places.--Tribun 14:47, 6 November 2007 (EST)

There is a fast way, I have VS and will script something quick. Just to get my though process written down: 1) Scan Line 2) Identify which character is the < of
3) Append [[ ]] before and after the words before <

Should work Ace Pace

  • Oh, I just removed the breaks and replaced it with a bulleted list (much easier to work with). Scanning for break tags isn't the best idea, though, since we don't need a link to "Superman (pardoned)", we just want "Superman" to be the link. Instead, you should probably check for '(' or end of line. Mad

The [[]] I know of, it's what I've been using. Kudos to Ace for automating this process (Once he finishes his scripting!)

  • Yeah, bulleted list is alot easier. Hell, it's alot easier then the prior [[ ]], yeah, I think the way Mad said works. I'm semi convinced, since i'm coding while sick, that Death will finsh copy pasting the chronicles and turning all the thingies into links before I finsh coding. Yeah. I kinda suck.

P.S. How do I get an easy way of sticking timestamps like Tribun and Mad? Ace Pace

  • Use 4 ~s instead of 3. Mad 15:45, 6 November 2007 (EST)
