→Lamprey D2 Link: took me aeons to write this; massacre load times
:: So, do you think you got time for other little wiki edits, or is this the peak of your creativity? ;) --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 16:29, 23 January 2009 (CET)
:::On the subject of multiple wikis: It's probably more convenient, 'cause if you mash 2 different games together on one wiki, you get contradicting statements (Healing is done by chugging as many potions as you can, or by spamming Holy Bolt. Other article: The main form of healing is by swallowing glowing red orbs which seem to make little sense. Yeah right), and duplicate articles (Class articles, Barbarian, Fallen...). Either you get huge pages (which would have big load times = high server load. And they'd probably look awfully cluttered) or you always have to go through a disambig page to get to the correct page (well, either that or suffixing everything with (Daiblo III) by default :P ). Now that'd be annoying.
:::I myself see few downsides to having 2 wikis seperatly (esp since they're about different games).
:::Also, there's other ways of getting inter-wiki links rather than using a template that inserts <nowiki>http://www.sitenamegoeshere.suffix/wiki/</nowiki> --> [[wikimedia:Manual:Interwiki|Manual:Interwiki]]. It also relieves the server, since it won't have to load the template 5 times per page ;) You'll need raw database access to edit in new interwiki links, though.
:::One thing to keep in mind with those; They're blue, as you might've noticed. I bet you'd be able to change the color, but better do that before using them site-wide :) They stand out a ''lot'' now. --[[User:Vipermagi|Vipermagi]] 17:54, 23 January 2009 (CET)
