This is a small project I've been working on every so often, and wanted to get some player feedback before bugging those much better at epedia than me to integrate these updates to the "normal" player card template/form.

Demo Page (And a big thanks to Sendithu for being my test subject!): https://elanthipedia.play.net/Sendithu

Updates compared to the current character card:
1) Can directly plug portrait into character card. The main benefit is that they get a bit more prominence on the page and they're universally "sized".
2) IC IM: If you want people to know how to contact you, you can add it here. Right now it just supports the options of "gweth" and "albredine crystal". Let me know if there are any other options we can list as choices
3) OOC IM: You know, if you want folks to IM you or whatever. Similar purpose to what is offered in the profile verb in game.
4) TOC: Lets you put a Table of Contents directly under your character card. I'm not the biggest fan of how the RTOC option we currently have clashes with player (and shop!) cards, and how having it on the left pushes all the content down. So I figured why not merge the two.

Other thing I'm considering adding: a way to add you preferred location, once again similar to the profile verb.

Thoughts? Additions? Wishes? Etc?

>>I like everything about this, with one minor suggestion to make the TOC width the same as the character card width.

It's something I couldn't figure out how to do on my own, but I agree!

>>"IC IM" sounds weird, but I have no alternative to suggest.

I feel similar. Sendithu gave a great suggestion of having a preferred mode of IC/OOC contact, but I have no idea what to call the it in one or two words.

I agree that this looks great.

My only issue is really with the wiki as a whole and probably not something you can fix. I wish the left sidebar could be hidden. That thing is my bane.

>>Or to avoid saying "contact" after each contact option, you could have a section for contact methods (not labeling them IC or OOC)

Should players enter a username for OOC contact stuff elsewhere if we make the contact section universal? That's the main reason I wanted to have an OOC one so you had room to write it out like the profile verb in game.

Maybe have the second field just show space for that username?

>My template-fu is weak, but I would think it's possible to have some fields with checkboxes (for example, crystal ring and gweth) and some that required you to supply a user name (IM services, Twitter, and/or e-mail).

Template-fu is weak, what's going through my mind is the force is strong with this one.
