Template talk:Equipment query
{{Equipment query|rarity=Exotic|supertype=Trinket}}
works fine, but the same thing on the query form turns up Expression error: Unrecognised word "span". Ideas? (2:30AM, cba error fixing.. ) -Chieftain Alex 01:29, 21 June 2014 (UTC)
- Didn't solve it, but did gather some data: it does that for Trinket and Weapon, but not for Armor or Back item. —Dr Ishmael 02:05, 21 June 2014 (UTC)
- solved it by realising it was to do with an empty query "Has weapon type::". Found another issue, its ignoring the "type" for trinkets and weapons completely. >.< -Chieftain Alex 10:08, 21 June 2014 (UTC)
- didn't name fields correctly -_-. -Chieftain Alex 10:27, 21 June 2014 (UTC)
- span error again, this time: Armor Light Chestwear [box-ticked]. Unticking the box seems to fix it. Seems to be for armor only? -Chieftain Alex 23:54, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
- me again; mw light armor coat, no box but error. 86.158.122.183 15:31, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

- I'd left a total of three queries based on level req active, only needed 2 of them for the form. I was hitting the query depth restriction, generating the SMW warning triangle, thus generating the span error message when trying to carry out a calculation on it. -Chieftain Alex 21:49, 3 August 2014 (UTC)
Equipment Search Tool Issues[edit]
It seems that there might be items missing in the tool (or I don't understand how it works) - Exotic Ring for Giver's comes up empty, although Snowflake Orichalcum Ring exists, for example. There's also a few extra "Giver's" - giver1w, giver1a and similar. Not sure if there's a way for me to fix this, so I'm leaving this comment here. Lacrisma.1540 (talk) 19:39, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
- Sticking "Exotic" "Trinket" and "Ring" in the tool, then sorting by the prefix column yields the results sorted by prefix.
- The item you're talking about is in there, but the prefix has been set (per Special:Browse/Orichalcum_Ring#itemct21) as Has equipment prefix=Snowflake3.
- If you take a look at the usage section of Template:Prefix attributes you'll see those different giver1w/giver1a/giver2w/giver2a/giver3w/giver3a are all different prefixes ingame (apart from giver3w/giver3a which got fixed).
- Examining the source of Template:Prefix attributes suggests to me that at some point snowflake3 had different stats to giver3a / giver3w and we made them aliases... ref. I think we could rename any occurrences of "snowflake3" in craft templates to "giver" without any issues. -Chieftain Alex 23:46, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
- Edit, I've tweaked Craft table row so that the level 80 items will show as prefix="giver". -Chieftain Alex 23:51, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
Template timeout[edit]
There are a few parameter selections that cause a timeout, e.g. {{Equipment query|prefix=apothecary|offset=250}}
. I managed to bypass the timeout with this edit (that's a close one, there might be other options that still cause a timeout). Further simplifications are recommended, but I can't see exactly where the expensiveness comes from. However, the easiest solution to fix any timeout would be to turn the limit to 200 (which might be a little bit few). --Tolkyria (talk) 23:56, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
