→Some suggestiond and one idea: tl;dr version: Dream Crush. forget it.
:Perhaps you should consider trying to write fan fiction based on [[Sanctuary]], and the official world, or some short story about one of the countries in your Angarock continent? Either way, I think you should concentrate on making it as nice and detailed as possible, and available on DiabloWiki, so you can link it to people in the community or perhaps to friends on MSN etc. :) Give it a proper home, and make sure it's very nice and polished. :) --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 18:41, 6 October 2009 (CEST)
:Re, image idea: It ''may'' possible, but it takes a lot of time to make it work without bugging up, and we'd need to find someone extremely skilled and willing. We're better off directing people to [[special:upload]]/[[help:Image]]. An image needs it's own page, so the script will have to:
* Recognise the <add image> 'tag'
* Pop up a window that only looks for .jpegs/etc. by default
* Pop a window that asks for the page name*
* Check if the name isn't taken**
* Upload the image under the chosen name
** Possibly add proper tags/categories
* Replace <add picture> with the proper link.
: *= If everyone uploads images without a descriptive name, it's hard to discern one from another. This also causes naming conflicts; When an image is uploaded to a name that is already used, it will override/remove the old image. This can be reverted, but it's a hassle.
: **=An image database is usually not fully up to date. The wiki software is hardcoded to flush the lists (i.e. update) once a day. Since the list is most likely not up to date, it's possible the script doesn't notice an image name is taken, and thus uploads the image over the old image.
:Additionally, the script will slow down page loading somewhat, which is more often than not unnecessary. --[[User:Vipermagi|Vipermagi]] 19:01, 6 October 2009 (CEST)
