Talk:Banner

Page loading times
Due to the extreme number of crafting calls on this page, there are issues processing edits, specifically adding the gray banner for the white patterns. I propose to split the patterns into subpages, loaded using loadPage, similarly to what was done on Crafting – KnightMiner  t/c 19:19, 20 March 2015 (UTC)


 * I previously proposed the same on Russian wiki, when GreenStone said about the issue. In reply he did it with a single LoadPage call instead. —  NickTheRed37 t/c (f.k.a. Naista2002) 19:26, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Ouh, and . on Russian article. —  NickTheRed37 t/c (f.k.a. Naista2002) 19:41, 20 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Maybe a single page will work, though I am concerned with how long it takes to load, the average page on Crafting takes about five seconds for me, while the banner subpage on the russian wiki takes twenty. It may be relevant to note that the crafting subpage "decoration blocks" sometimes times out when I load it, causing me to want to avoid that route. – KnightMiner  t/c 19:46, 20 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Sorry for edit conflicts caused by me. I’ve already split that subpage into multiple. —  NickTheRed37 t/c (f.k.a. Naista2002) 19:49, 20 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Huuuhhhh... I’ve barely archived this talk page, since it also takes much time to load up. —  NickTheRed37 t/c (f.k.a. Naista2002) 19:57, 20 March 2015 (UTC)


 * That is a lot faster, it should work. It would even make sense to fully merge the gradients into backgrounds, removing the second title.
 * We still do have one issue, the shapeless recipes are loaded using crafting usage, which does not load from subpages. The best solution I can think of right now would be manually adding the recipes on the relevant articles, since the dye pages are already set to ignore those recipes. – KnightMiner  t/c 20:11, 20 March 2015 (UTC)


 * I think that for these situations, we should implement some sort of “groups” with a set lead article and set sub-pages with recipes. The lead article will be in the categories. When we import an article that leads the group, the system looks up recipes in each page in the group, and returns the whole thing back. —  NickTheRed37 t/c (f.k.a.

 * Looking over the code, that would be easy enough to implement, or the recipe categories can simply be added to the subpage, as it seems crafting usage simply checks the category, and crafting suppresses the category on subpages. – KnightMiner  t/c 20:32, 20 March 2015 (UTC)


 * The poor performance is due to the amount of images. Using load page will make this page faster to save, but make the recipes many times slower to view, as you can see with our crafting page. –Majr ᐸ Talk Contribs 23:26, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Banner images in the crafting descriptions
Do we really need the additional "preview" of the banner image at the end anymore? They seem somewhat redundant now that we have the banner inventory icons, and removing them would help reduce images on this page until we have a better solution. – KnightMiner  t/c 03:20, 24 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Probably not. I’m a little concerned by the sheer number of grid images used, but it looks like they use less bandwidth overall than the preview images. Might not hurt to make sure they’re as compressed as possible anyway. — Orthotopetalk 05:58, 24 May 2015 (UTC)
