Great.

As you may know, we're having to review almost all our templates because the way they were written is inefficient. One of the things I did was to split up our DB so that each Dragon has its own data file. That reduced our drain on Wikia servers by I figure 50%.

The Templates were originally written to use the old DB, which is inoperable at the moment, although we can parse it.

The Templates themselves are restricted to Admin-only, and I can't promote you without agreement from the rest of the group. We're that way.

However, there should be no restriction to you creating your own Templates. I don't really fancy rewriting everything, so I'm trying to wade through the old code (some parts of which are severely outdated) and edit them. Which is a lot of work and thinking and trying to guess why they were written the way they were.

The Templates are viewable to you. Do you prefer to write your own?
