Call to Arms: Help With Wiki?

Hi all!
We could use some help updating the new wiki, as it's a bit of a lift transferring all of the data from the old wiki to the new wiki (while also ensuring that the data is accurate).
Valefort's outlined one area we could really use some assistance with right now:
People sometimes ask me what they can do to help out around here, without putting on a DM hat or learning how to code, and this is probably one of those things anyone can tackle with a little bit of time and effort! So if anyone's willing to pitch in, please do.
(
If nothing else, it'll free up Valefort so he can get back to work fixing things for us, right?)

Yep
The level 9, 8, 7 spells are done but there is still a lot to go through.

This explanation that Valefort gave to a volunteer to help with this was helpful to me, so I thought I'd share it so others have an idea of what's being asked of those who would volunteer for this mission!:
Valefort wrote:All the info from the old wiki was already exported to the new one, it's just about formatting the information correctly now
Here is an example, taken from this page
https://wiki.bgtscc.net/index.php?title=Wrath_of_Torm
That's how it looks like at the moment when you click the edit button.
Code: Select all
===<b>Wrath of Torm</b>===
Caster Level(s): Clr 6
Innate Level: 6
School: Abjuration [Torm]
Component(s): Verbal, Somatic
Range: Self
Area of Effect / Target: Personal
Duration: 5 rounds
Save: n/a
Spell Resistance: n/a
The caster is outlined in white light and his base charisma ability score temporarily rises to 18. He also gains in size, rising to become almost twice as large as previously. Finally, The caster gains a +3 bonus on all savingthrows and a +5 attack bonus.
== Gameplay Notes ==
Note: Only Torm's faithful can learn / memorize / cast this spell.
== Bugs ==
[[Category:Spells]]
[[Category:Torm]]
[[Category:Abjuration]]
[[Category:Clr 6]]
[[Category:Innate 6]]
[[Category:Verbal & Somatic]]
And that's how it should look like :
Code: Select all

It's only copying the information on the spell from the raw text into the spell template and then the page will automagically be put in the right categories, making it easy to find
(you'll notice I removed the manually added categories at the end, as they're no longer useful).

For the ones who are helping on this, if you don't find the right icon please leave it blank, that way the spells are added in the "spells with no icon" category and they'll be easy to find and fix for me

Hey im interested in helping out when I can, but I'm afraid that example still doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. I'm a bit more hands on, so maybe if I just give it a try it'll click.

Started working on Innate 1,
however i don't know how to add missing entries like
Disguise Self: has also illusion=1 as class, adding level_illusion=1 did not work ?
Disrupting Strike: has BG as class, adding level_blackguard=1 did not work ?
|casting time=instant
How can i add missing categories?
And under bugs there are often something like this, i would guess that it could be deleted ?
[[Category:Spells]]
[[Category:Clr 1]]
[[Category:Drd 1]]
[[Category:Innate 1]]
[[Category:Divination]]
[[Category:Verbal & Somatic]]
[[Category:Pal 1]]
[[Category:Bg 1]]

Finished custom spells for Pali and ranger. Also vale, found some links they jumped over to the old wiki and I fixed them to stay on the new level wiki.
