Forum:SH:Changing of Template:CCG

And yet again I bring the question of a necessary change to CCG. As you probably know, more than 6 months ago Decipher has taken all their old websites down due to the release of a new game, which made the old card images unaccessible. Since then Template:CCG is basically non-functioning. Simply changing the link in the template to point to web.archive.org is not the way to deal with it, because they haven't archived most of the images, and also because their website is hery hard to access lately (Just try to see any of the images via the template - I fail every time). I suggest to use the resources of the SW CCG Player Committee, who have the entire card image database organized via a wiki-engine.

Here's a rough version of a new template that I did in under 10 minutes. In this variant you don't even have to enter the exact url of the card like before, just fill the set and the cardname fields, and you get something looking like this: The only issue I have so far is that you have to enter the card titles with more that one word using _, otherwise things get screwed. But I'm sure someone who knows wiki coding better than I, can fix this. Since the values of both fields can be salvaged from the existing version of the template, I see that as an easy fix. All we need to do is to replace the template with a new version, and then run a bot to change some value names on the pages using the template and things will be working in no time. Any of the botmaster willing to help me with this?  Mauser  Comlink 18:08, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
