Dot Arena Wiki:Admin noticeboard

The Admin noticeboard is one way through which users can notify Administrators of issues needing administrative attention. While users are welcome to directly contact specific administrators (especially if they are seen to be active), posting here can be an easier and quicker way of ensuring that at least one admin will notice an issue and respond to it promptly. Remember to sign (using four tildes: ) when posting an issue.

Before posting an issue here, please consider the following:
 * This page is for reporting wiki issues. Please post discussions on the talk page.
 * Post only issues that require administrative action, i.e. blocking vandals, protecting pages, restoring deleted pages etc.
 * Do not post deletion requests here. Deletion requests should be made by adding  to the top of the target page, which will then automatically mark the page as a candidate for deletion.
 * Do not post issues regarding content disputes. Try making a request for comment instead.
 * Mediation requests between users should only be made once a resolution could not be reached between users.
 * For issues regarding the use of this wiki, please see our help center.

In case of vandalism, posting about it here is low priority. Revert it first, anyone can do so. If the vandal created a new page, tag it for deletion. Assume good faith and consider leaving a message on that user's talk page to explain the reason. Post here only if the user has made several disruptive edits and/or persists despite a warning. Always avoid a revert war with the vandal; it is far better to wait until an admin has a chance to intervene. If a user must be reported here, please use user, preferably as the topic subject/headline.

Hero Classes changes
From now on, to edit the infobox of each hero class just go to their category page (e.g. Category:Demon) and edit the info there. The heroes class page will auto synchronize with the newly edited Category:Class page. This will be a lot more convenient than having to do double work.

Filters are now live!
Filter function on the Heroes page is now live! You can now filter by position, attributes, elements, access and also the classes the heroes belong to!

Refer to Template:Filter_button for a more in depth guide and help.

Credits to User:OOeyes for coding such an amazing filter! Thank you so much!

Updating Awakening table and Adding Red Fuse
Hero profiles are almost complete. All existing profiles are required to be updated to the new awakening table that also list Forge bonus. Apart from that, Red equipment fuse can now be added as well. The template for both of them can be found on Vega's profile http://dotarena.gamepedia.com/Vega

Simplified Infobox Inputs
Greetings DotArena Editors! The Infobox has been simplified to a more convenient method of inputing data. From now on, infoboxes can be edited like this:

Note that under | position = You can just type in either Front, Middle or Back to display the respective position icon.

Note also that under hero type/attribute denoted by | type = It is possible to just type in Strength, Agility or Intelligence and the respective icon will show up. To simplify your work further, it's also possible to just put STR/Str, AGI/Agi or INT/Int and it will also display the correct icons.

Next comes the hardest bit to code (for me XD) under | classes = Now that the coding part is complete (credits to Game_widow for showing me how), all you have to do is just type in class name e.g. Ghost and separate each class by a comma as you can see in the infobox example of Abyss above. I have also made it so that spacing does not matter (per class name) e.g. Female Mage and FemaleMage can be used interchangeably.

As future reference, I think it would be best to list the classes according to an order e.g. Race (e.g. Night Elf) followed by Job (e.g. Female Mage) followed by Location (e.g. Jungle) followed by Gender (e.g. Female) followed by Movement (e.g. Mounted, Floater...) followed by Weapons (e.g. Spear,Mage...). Order list is still debatable XD

Finally we reach for the stars | stars = This is simplified so much that you can just type in a number (between 1-5 of course) to indicate the amount of initial stars the hero has.

TL;DR: Just refer to the Abyss example shown right up there.

Help Needed
The wiki is quite outdated and any help from in-game players well-versed in editing wikis will be much appreciated!

Hero Pages
You can click here to learn the basics of a hero infobox. Feel free to copy paste an entire completed hero page (e.g. Abyss) as a template to begin a new hero page. Here is an example of how to input hero awakening quest and items. You can find heroes needing new pages from here.

2nd Awakening
A new game-changing feature of DotArena that will require a lot of work. A new template would need to be created similar to the Awakening template and also the Runes system will need its own page with recommendations for each hero if possible.

Guide Pages
A lot of new features have been introduced along with changes to old features such as the CoT, PP and Dojo merging into Time Spiral. Any guides written on these topics and updates will be much appreciated!
 * Prophecy Pool and Dojo/Caverns of time to be merged into Time Spiral
 * Crucible of Fire
 * Eternal Realm
 * Guild
 * Raid
 * PVP
 * Dominations
 * Sky Fortress
 * Endless Nightmare
 * Bounty
 * Hero's Outpost
 * Magic Academy
 * Shops
 * VIP
 * Premium

Feel free to add any videos from youtube or even upload your own guides!

If you need any in-game images or need help with anything regarding the wiki do and I will see what I can do.
