Hi all, it's been a very long while since I've asked for support in regards to templates however I am ill-versed in the code used in portable infobox design. My intent is to make a modified version of Template:Enemy on the WARFRAME Wiki, including a section used to calculate the specified entity's effective values from a single provided number (target level) and the base values (specified within each infobox). I have quite a bit of experience with the former infobox meta a-la Template:Infobox:Item, but here I am quite lost. All of the formulas required are available here, but I am unsure if this is possible. All I wish is to have an auto-updating field (per stat for Health/Armor/Shields/Effective Health Points) stating "HP at Level x" with x being a "Target Level" input parameter in an adjacent field. Otherwise, would it be easier to code the calculator in a similar format as the Calculator templates available on the RuneScape Wikia, then transclude it in the end-section of the infobox? Is there a way to perform this or am I being a little too optimistic in my aims. I can clarify further if need be but I think this describes my issue in enough detail to give an idea of my intent. Thanks all. :)

Hi all, Administrator and Bureaucrat of the Terraria Wikia here. One of the most common problems we face over on the Terraria Wikia is when users post content that should be in the Forum space (referring to the new one with the <tt>Thread</tt> and <tt>Board</tt> namespaces), but is either in the <tt>User_blog</tt> namespace or even in the <tt>Main</tt> namespace. Some of the time, this ends up with the page itself deleted (mainly referring to content posted in the <tt>Main</tt> namespace). Other times, such as in the <tt>User_blog</tt> namespace the content doesn't get the exposition it needs, leading to Wiki bloating where it isn't needed and the message itself falling through the cracks. Anyway, hoping this gives an idea of the problem itself. Now what I am wondering is; is there a method, <tt>Special</tt> page or way that these pages can be moved directly to this forum? Otherwise an idea just came to me, which would be creating a template that would be placed at the top of a new forum post, stating that it was "created on behalf of x user". I would also leave a message on their talk page directing them to the post. Thoughts on both ideas?
