Board Thread:Database Report/@comment-3271569-20130521203220

You probaly nowtest that our database is currently outdate and an lot of our info isn't that correct how it used to be. I can only say where are working on it. their an fell reason why it takes so long to adjust:
 * During the release of the exclusive dragons not only the database but also an lot of templates need adjustments (for example breeding tab etc..)
 * All Unique dragons are converted to exclusive but they are not all breedable yet. So we are still think what's the best way to implement this to the database since their system simply checks if the breeding time is 20 hours.
 * We currently not sure how to put the exclusive dragons into an generation since an brand new process and so not rare hybrids like some of your think. No they are even harder to breed than that.
 * Some of their data is replaced server side so it's harder to check our values.
 * Some users are in the test modus and will have different breeding time and other results. That's why it's so hard to take an value from the game as correct. Currently their are 3 test fase where only 1 is active. So for every value there can be 2 values. We also don't known if there is another test value server side.
 * They changed about 75% of their data including an lot of details and systems. Just think if we need to check all 150 dragons if some attack or breeding time is changed. It's massive, we must be happy we have located it on one template and than we are still not sure they are correct since the server can override those values.

So in order to make sure the database is fully updated we need:
 * Adjust all default values we found in the cache
 * Add all test values to the database
 * Check all values in the ingame (both default as tests and if they are different check if someone use those others)

I assume we will be to late to get the database up-to-date before their next big update. The only that we can do is to be patienced. And maybe prepare yourself incase we need verification of the ingame data.

Don't think where the only one with this problem. So far we known we have the fastest system to make sure our data remains correct. I also nowtest that my fellow admins start to understand the database system. So I hope in the future we could handle large updates with an faster response.

We will try to adjust our templates so in the future test users can also navigate on the wikia.

One more thing, I request an new extension that will be able to detect the userlanguage. If this works with parser functions we would be able to use this to support different languages so long this data remains template sided like descriptions or different ways to display something. For dragonames we are planning to use an different system.
