Escape from Tarkov Wiki:Admin noticeboard

The Admin noticeboard is one way through which users can notify Administrators of issues needing administrative attention. While users are welcome to directly contact specific administrators (especially if they are seen to be active), posting here can be an easier and quicker way of ensuring that at least one admin will notice an issue and respond to it promptly. Remember to sign (using four tildes: ~~~~) when posting an issue.

Before posting an issue here, please consider the following:

• This page is for reporting wiki issues. Please post discussions on the talk page.
• Post only issues that require administrative action, i.e. blocking vandals, protecting pages, restoring deleted pages etc.
• Do not post deletion requests here. Deletion requests should be made by adding {{delete|reason for deletion request}} to the top of the target page, which will then automatically mark the page as a candidate for deletion.
• Do not post issues regarding content disputes. Try making a request for comment instead.
• Mediation requests between users should only be made once a resolution could not be reached between users.
• For issues regarding the use of this wiki, please see our help center.

In case of vandalism, posting about it here is low priority. Revert it first, anyone can do so. If the vandal created a new page, tag it for deletion. Assume good faith and consider leaving a message on that user's talk page to explain the reason. Post here only if the user has made several disruptive edits and/or persists despite a warning. Always avoid a revert war with the vandal; it is far better to wait until an admin has a chance to intervene. If a user must be reported here, please use {{user}}, preferably as the topic subject/headline.

Please post new topics at the bottom of the page by clicking this link to add a new section.

It's very important. Please see the reply to me. I'm sorry to trouble you

I am aware that I may have violated the user regulations in the game. May I ask whether I have been banned for using real money to buy virtual roubles in the game? I hope you can give me an answer. Thank you very much. My name is YangFuYuanHere in the game. I hope you can check it for me. I'm really sorry to trouble you.It's very important. Please see the reply to me. I'm sorry to trouble you

This isn't the place to ask for a ban appeal. This website is the Game's wiki, not a direct line with the game developers. You have to contact them directly. Kagounard (talk) 09:24, 7 March 2020 (UTC)

Weapons / Moddable parts: more details for mods on the first view

Hello,
this is a guy from germany. Please use simple english.
While modding i tried to find help by this wiki.

a) actual behavior

Example:
https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/DT_MDR_7.62x51_Assault_Rifle
In Mods i can tab through different parts. Every part is just a string with no further information. To see the "quality" or "enhancements" of the parts i need to open every part in a new browser tab to compare them. To find the best part in 8 possible Rear sights i need to

• open DT_MDR_7.62x51_Assault_Rifle
  
• click on Rear sight Tab
  
• click on every possible part (8 clicks)
  
• click on every browsertab (8 clicks)
  

=====
sum: 18 clicks
time: > 30 seconds

b) my suggestion

At [[1]] we see the detail information for every modding-part that exists - no matter for which weapon. On that article we cannot filter by a special weapon or moddable part (what can i put on a special mount?).

I suggest, that for each weapon and moddable part we change the mods-tab-table to include information about Recoil, Ergonomics, Accuracy and other important informations.

Please see this edit to see what i mean: [[2]]
Please do not mind about the double same icon. I am talking about a principle, not about a special case of implementation.
Now we need to

• open DT_MDR_7.62x51_Assault_Rifle
  
• click on Rear sight Tab
  
• click on the sort button of the property we want to enhance
  

=====
sum: 3 clicks
time: < 10 seconds

c) How to implement on full wiki

As i am a lone user i cannot edit the full wiki. Some wikis do generate articles like that with a script that reads the information out of a database. Is there a kind of automatism you generated Weapon_mods and the mods-tab-tables on the weapons articles? Can we alter this automatism to generate a enhanced version of the articles?
Or is this all hand made and we have to change every article by user?

Thanks

d) discussion

This does seem like a great idea, though I'd also add that rather than discrete lines, each mod should be a template in itself, so that the information can be shared between pages and you only have to update ONE page instead of a zillion. Tagaziel (talk) 11:52, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

I am not familiar with that templates. Could you write a short example and show it here? Or can you show an example on en.wikipedia.org and how to use it? If you show me example code i will understand. -- Enomine88m (talk) 15:43, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

It's just a template that has a ready made entry, like here. Note that the template automatically formats values so that all you need to do is add data. In this case, we likely wouldn't even need to input data, just copy paste entries.

In other words, instead of repeating this across a billion pages:

{| Header
! Name
! Damage
! Recoil
! McGuffinery
|-
! A test! 
| Huge
| Really big
| Very important much wow
|-
|}

we could do

{{modtable|<!-- this replaces the header row --->
{{mod a test!}} <!-- each entry contains a preformatted row -->
{{mod an evaluation!}}
etc.
}}

Sound good? Tagaziel (talk) 10:23, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
