Help with Module:LootChest
Hi! Since you're the one who created this module, could you please help me with it in the Brazilian wiki? In Portuguese, every noun has a gender and the verb needs to change depending on the gender. So, the sentence "can be found" should display "podem ser encontrados" if the item is a male noun, and "podem ser encontradas" if it's female. Is there any way to add this to the module? Maybe the same way as plurals are handled, for example: gender="male" / gender="female" or male=true/false. Thank you! --Mine4017 (talk) 13:07, 8 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Sure, let me take a look. – Sealbudsman talk/contr 16:13, 8 February 2016 (UTC)


 * If you need to test, "areia" (sand) is female, and "osso" (bone) is male. Everything should be up to date with the English version. The only things translated are the strings. --Mine4017 (talk) 16:30, 8 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Cool – so I added p.items[itemname].male, which is true or false, and if it's omitted the noun defaults to female. For instance, ["osso"] = { "item", male=true }
 * Are there other places where gender is appropriate? Also what about plural, should "podem" be conjugated?
 * Apart from the gender issue, does it seem to handle Portuguese all right?


 * For plural, "podem" doesn't need to be conjugated because all items will use their plural form (it's only set to false, when the item is already in plural form, like seeds).
 * I'm trying to use the LootChestItem template, but it's outputing female no matter what item I put. I've already added all the "male=true". Do I have to wait some time or does the template need to be updated as well? --Mine4017 (talk) 16:57, 8 February 2016 (UTC)


 * I see.
 * Oh I must not have done this right. Let me check. – Sealbudsman talk/contr 17:15, 8 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Okay, try it now. There wasn't a wait required, I'd actually done it wrong. – Sealbudsman talk/contr 17:20, 8 February 2016 (UTC)


 * It works now! Thank you very much! --Mine4017 (talk) 17:25, 8 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Hooray! – Sealbudsman talk/contr 17:31, 8 February 2016 (UTC)

Misleading glass pane info.
You can't dye glass panes.I reverted your edit. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Robinhoodn64 (talk • contribs) at 13:57, April 12, 2016‎ (UTC). Please sign your posts with
 * Thanks! That was sharp, I noticed you changed that, good catch.  It wasn't my edit, but still. – Sealbudsman talk/contr 18:08, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
 * What?It said you. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Robinhoodn64 (talk • contribs) at 02:11, April 13, 2016‎ (UTC). Please sign your posts with


 * I'll try to show you what I mean. If you go to the Glass Pane page, and click History, you'll see all the revisions of the page.  You'll see the very last edit, which you did, at the top.  It wasn't a revert, it was a simple edit.  Otherwise the edit summary would say something like "Undo revision 123456 by Sealbudsman".
 * Okay so next, look on the left, you'll see links saying 'cur' and 'prev'. If you click through all the 'prev' links, one at a time, you'll see what distinct changes were made on the page, by which users.  If you instead click on the date/time link, you'll see what the page looked like at that time.  So, if you look at the 13th one down after yours, you'll find one of our admins Goandgoo had merged the Stained Glass Pane page with the Glass Pane page; his edit description says "merge Stained Glass Pane with Glass Pane" anyway.  You can click the 'prev' and the date/time link on that line to verify this. The reason we merged those two pages was due to the result of this discussion (click here).  At that point, the misleading glass pane info was added.
 * Basically during a big page merge, something like that can get easily missed, especially if it sounds true, so again thank you for correcting it. Hope that helps. – Sealbudsman talk/contr 11:43, 13 April 2016 (UTC)

Development version list
I think the reason we were using a static list on computer versions is because it is simply more efficient to directly contain the data, as DPL is not as efficient as a static list (and the list is not going to change once the update is released). DPL has to update every time any article in the category changes to make sure the list is still accurate, so while a few DPL calls on an article should be find, having 10 separate calls (and another every update) added to every computer version article does not sound like it would be efficient in the long run. – KnightMiner  t/c 04:30, 22 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Oh, I see. If that's the case then let's go back to the way it was. – Sealbudsman talk/contr 04:44, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

Benchmark entry
Hi Aaron, thanks for your hardware entry - every hardware sample helps a ton! Regarding your HD 4600, would you be willing to troubleshoot your graphics so that you can benchmark without using VBOs? If there's any chance of doing that it would be most appreciated.

That aside, I rarely run into folks who have to use a workaround like you have just to post any results.. but it's hard to make exceptions when it throws off the consistency of all the benchmarks. Mind you, it's a good opportunity to see where exceptions can be placed when need be. -- Bb 20 (Edits)  02:43, 23 April 2016 (UTC)


 * I'd love to troubleshoot my graphics. Mine is not the typical VBO problem you hear about, with the strange chaotic yet repetitious graphic glitches. Mine just straight up crashes immediately when loading the world, unless I use VBOs. And not the kind that generates a nice crash screen - it prints some kind of java core dump if I remember correctly.
 * Anyway yeah I'll see of there's anything to be done; if you know of any steps I should take, please let me know. If I can smooth this out I'd be interested in how my system handles 1.9.2 vs 1.9.3, being as how it seems to be focusing on fixing performance bugs. Cheers! – Sealbudsman talk/contr 03:26, 23 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Alright, so what I can suggest would be using Display Driver Uninstaller to boot into Safe Mode to thoroughly remove the current Intel display driver, reboot, then install the latest driver from Intel here. I think that's a good start.
 * I'm repairing my CustoMac (this machine) so you may not get a timely response. In the meantime, I'll try educating myself on this issue incase it comes up again. The bugtracker isn't being too helpful. Would you be able to Pastebin your crashlog for me? –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Bb 20 (talk • contribs) at 0:24, 24 April 2016 (UTC).

 * Sure, probably tomorrow morning I could do the driver thing. Meanwhile here is the server output: pastebin. That log describes me logging in, letting the world load a bit, then going into graphics to turn off VBOs, at which point it instantly crashed as I hit the VBO button. So I'll get back to you whenever I try the driver thing. Thanks for taking the time! – Sealbudsman talk/contr 01:11, 24 April 2016 (UTC)


 * It was my graphics driver. I got the latest driver from the Intel location you linked, but I didn't use the Display Driver Uninstaller first, thought I'd give it a shot. Seems to work. Thanks again for pointing me to that! I'll redo the performance test sometime soon, then. – Sealbudsman talk/contr 01:37, 24 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Good news, glad that helped without the need for the utility. Just for archival reference, the Pastebin references your video driver, "[ig75icd64.dll+0x55628c]", and it looks like this Bug Tracker issue is what you faced.
 * I left your last benchmark entry in place for you to edit and I'd like to see how you new benchmark turns out ^_^ -- Bb 20 (Edits)  19:38, 25 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Hi, I haven't forgotten about this! It's just that after I got it to work that day, it went back to not working shortly thereafter. Or on the other hand maybe I didn't do it right, but thought I had?? Still have to check. –  Sealbudsman talk/contr 04:19, 30 May 2016 (UTC)


 * No rush, I'll keep the entry up until you've got your machine ready. You could see if your driver reinstall helps a second time or try my purposed method should that fail, and then test immediately after that. -- Bb 20 (Edits)  18:40, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

That garish orange 'Pro' thing everyone has now
Any link to a 'Gamepedia pro' user's page, that has their name as the link-text, gets the orange box. E.g. Sealbudsman.

If the link title gets rendered as anything else, e.g. in the case of User:Sealbudsman, Sealbudsman (having a space within the name), abcdefg, User:Sealbudsmanish, you don't get the orange box.

While I appreciate getting the free membership for having been a long-standing editor, with all the benefits thereof, I find it .. somewhat invasive to attach that orange thing to links to my page .. A little like they're using their editor base as free advertising. Like, monetizing me. Which I guess is par for the course for a free service on the internet .. Oh well. – Sealbudsman talk/contr 00:55, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

Long time no see!
I missed working around in the wiki! How are things now? How are you? --Kkkllleee (talk) 11:04, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Wow yeah, you've been gone a while! Good to have you back.  You have a good eye for making things flow well and read well. I'm good, not much to say, except glad spring is here.  How are you? –  Sealbudsman talk/contr 15:28, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
