    Key Items Problem

    It seems there is a problem with all key items on the website going as far back as at least the CoP expansion. All of the information is entered, but because the first letter in the Name, Type, and Description fields are not capitalized, the wiki refuses to show them. Here's an example of what I mean:
    Cracked club - BGWiki

    If you edit the page, you can see that there is a lot of information there, but because the first letter in those fields are not capitalized they all show up as empty on the finished page. I would fix this myself if I could, but this affects potentially thousands of pages and would take me forever to fix on my own.

    I think Septimus should be able to re-dump those, or whatever the technical term is.

    This is a known issue, the template was changed a while ago, but there were thousands of key items already entered.

    I have been thinking of a possible solution that will encompass all of the key items, because this is just intolerable and I don't have the time to fix everything manually.

    It looks like I cobbled together a hot fix to make all of the key item pages work again.

    They should all be reformatted eventually anyway, and information added to all of them. But at least for now they are working properly.

    Thank you for fixing this. :D

    My big goal right now is to complete every zone page. Adding NM's, Missions, Quests, BCNM's, ect to them all. As I get those pages I tend to fill out quests/missions in the zone as well. That eventually leads me to key items and filling those out too. The thing I need help with is listing normal monsters. For some reason that always gives me a headache. If anyone has some free time, the following zones still need normal monsters added to them:

    Arrapago Reef - BGWiki
    Halvung - BGWiki
    Mount Zhayolm - BGWiki
    Mamook - BGWiki
    Alzadaal Undersea Ruins - BGWiki
