Talk:Rune of the Necromancer

Using {{PAGENAME}} in Recipe Template

@Vilya - I think the page looks amazing. Much better than most of the other pages. The issue I have isn't with your page, but the Recipe Template and what happens when it's used to capture recipes using DPL. When {{PAGENAME}} is used in the "name" field, then captured using DPL on a different page, that different page uses ITS pagename as the name....not the pagename of the page using the recipe template. I have been going through and manually updating each instance that I find so that those people using DPL to capture recipe lists can do so without issues. I doubt I'm alone.

I don't know exactly how you're doing this, but if you're typing or copy/pasting the page name to replace that, there's an easier way: simply add subst: in front of the magic word, i.e. {{subst:PAGENAME}}. Save the page like that and the wiki will perform the substitution automatically. —Dr Ishmael 17:55, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

It has nothing to do with whether or not THIS page shows the information properly. This page does...and it's a really slick way of doing it. I, and I'm sure others are as well, am creating a complete list of recipes using DPL and when {{PAGENAME}} is used in the "name" field, it uses the name of the page that has the DPL call on it....not THIS page. Please take a look at this page to see the list of recipes I've captured. Scroll all the way down near the bottom of the page to see how Rune of the Necromancer and Rune of the Pirate are displayed in the second column. The list I've created needs both the Page Name and Recipe Name columns because the Page Name usually lists more than one recipe and there's no way to distinguish them without the Recipe Name column. If there is a way to fix MY page without fixing all of the others, I'm all for it. Any help or advice you can give is appreciated. The solution I've found thusfar is to type out the name in the "name" field of the Recipe Template. Jfarris964 19:09, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
