Your reputation has hopped from island to island to reach me, J McKalling. You are the hero of this planet and you must know that the Esmers invite the wizards to come and study their planet of origin. Watch out, there's something fishy.

Naming and characters

New ideas

Spoiler:

  • add the "split table cell" feature directly to the Infobox/row template by using a secondary data parameter
  • Related pages infobox, e.g. (Quote, Quote2, Gamequote) or (categorylink, superlink, templatelink)
  • Navigation infobox (horizontal at bottom of all locational articles, merge with existing old navigation templates)
  • Transclude navigational template in every category controlled by a categorizer, like the old Island categories
