Yeah, I think the skeleton is probably a reasonable place for this; or there's nothing to stop you inventing a tag ("AVRLonerTheme") that you mention in comments and look for with the advanced search page. When I rework skeleton/cardlist to combine them I'll see if I can find a way to allow this, but I don't think it's really sensible to add some specific field to cards for "tags".
Skeleton? Comments?
What would you want such "tagging" to do? Just link to their user page? I assume not. Send them a notification that you'd mentioned them? But in most cases I'm expecting people will subscribe to discussion threads they post in anyway.
To clarify: (((dude1818))) becomes dude1818.
Bookmarking this page. Thanks for the heads up.
Even if I haven't been using the site long, I agree with disabling parens. I always end up using that (?) mana symbol, especially since I overuse question marks. :)
Looking at the database, it seems like about 3/4 of the time when people use (.) in comments, they're not using it as a mana symbol, but in lists like (a), (.b), (.c) or (.1), (.2), (.3); optional plurals like colour(.s); or expressing uncertainty (.?). So I think I should disable paren-matching for mana symbols entirely in comments, and require people to use braces in comments.
The reason why I allowed parens in the first place is because I think many people find them easier to type than brace.
I only use { and }.
Hmmm. I usually use braces/squigglebrackets, but I think people probably do use parentheses from time to time. I'll do a database query and find out what people have actually used.
The current way to do it is to create a details page (details pages have the "Printable" link at top-right that removes the header/footer/etc), using ((Cardname)) or ((C123456789)) to embed mockups of the cards you want. You're free to delete the details page after printing it, and if you use ((C123456789)) format it can be in any set.
I'll see if there's any other way to do it that makes sense. I could make something like transient details pages, which only exist for long enough to be shown once.
Oh yeah, I actually forgot they were different. Maybe we should turn off round brackets for mana totally after all? (Although I don't know if anyone has been using them like that.)
Really, I don't know why parenthesis can be used for mana symbols anywhere. The Fancy Brackets do the job fine... I never even noticed it until I happened to type in an (s).
This is a really small issue and not very urgent, but I keep finding myself typing (.1), (.2) or (.A), (.B) to list a series of things in a comment, and I always forget and they appear as mana symbols.
I'm not sure exactly how to fix it, since we want to use mana symbols in comments sometimes. One way would be to have a special character that could be included at the start of the bracket that says "remove this symbol and show the bracket as text" (like the full stop above).
Another would be to auto-detect circumstances where they shouldn't be expanded (but probably wouldn't work as I can't think of any rules where it would work).
Another more complicated option would be to let people customise the brackets used for markup on a per-user basis. That's a lot of work and probably not really worth it, but might be at some point in the future.
Yeah, that seems useful. The simplest way would probably be to have a text box where you can enter card codes or names, like for a new detail page, and it generates a one-off page with those images. The simplest would be if it just used the normal mark-up formatting, but it would be convenient if you could enter "4 CW01" instead of "((CW01}}((CW01}}((CW01}}((CW01}}"
It might be more useful if there was a way of getting there from a cardlist view: eg. show all active cards, filter by rarity=common, show me most recently changed, select the 10 most recently changed and generate a page with those images. That would be more work and you'd have to decide exactly what it did, so maybe, maybe not, depending how complicated it would be.
This of course assumes that there isn't some way to do this that I'm not currently aware of. For right now, in Magic20XD6, I've been making booster packs and getting them ready for draft. But, down the road, I'll need specific quantities of certain cards. Either because I'll have plenty of cards, and I only need to print a few to fill in the gaps from draft, or to reprint cards that needed changing after they've been tested. Obviously, the same problems are coming to a head right now in the Community set. As certain cards become very different, it would be best to print 4x card X and 4x card Y. I don't think there's any way to do that right now.
Ah, yes, skeletons are included in the caching as well. But the skeleton (and all other pages) should be updated whenever anyone creates or edits a card. It's only comments which I believe currently don't expire caches when they should.
Does that apply to skeletons? I noticed the skeleton didn't seem to update when I removed enchantment digger and made a new CW07 card, but forgot to say anything.
I think that'd achieve this, but I think this is actually another request for Get emailed when things happen and/or "Stuff for me" notifications.

Yeah, Markdown - like UseModWiki and I think MediaWiki - treats indented paragraphs as preformatted text. I basically just removed the spaces at the start of every line, and poof, it reads nicely now. :)
