Muhandes - the crib sheet is for reporting a game breaking bug, not just for mods/admins.

There are about 15 of them out in the game currently(crib sheets, not bugs)

Yes, I know. They are given *by* admins.

Data Namespace

I've set up some very, very rough test data at Template:Test, Template:Data1, Data:Test, and Test. I'm not sure why this isn't working exactly the same as on the KoLWiki--here, you have to prefix the Data namespace with a colon to make it act like a template (see Template:Data1). Additionally, the URL used to access the item page seems to affect whether the metadata method can be viewed or not... compare Test with Test. The URL without "index.php5?title=" is yielding a junk page. I think someone with access to the actual server is going to have to twiddle with the MediaWiki configuration to make the Data namespace "official" and default to template-style interpretation. Is anyone with admin status able to do this? I found this documentation.

But as the files above demonstrate, it is in principle possible to use a Data namespace to reduce the amount of nuisance work on this Wiki. Sorry I can't be more helpful than that. --Bagatelle T/C 06:08, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
