Generally I agree with these points. I will add a few comments, just to have said them.

I had thought about putting it on the right side of the 'unlocked by' column (which is too big, I don't like, I couldn't off-top-of-head think of a way to cut the size down). So, the reincdata isn't in this tester because I didn't code it ('yet'), not because it couldn't theoretically be done ('well'?). Goes back to: for the purpose of this test, my goal was 'can i stack template inside template'. Once the answer was 'yes', further fiddling of the nature of 'show reinc data' was beyond the current scope.
 * no space for reincarnation data - TLDR it wasn't shown, which is diff than it can not be shown.


 * slightly less bad for D1/2, which uses letters, but the equivalent for D3 onwards uses numbers - ohhhhh right. forgot about that part. I was vaguely pondering 're-heading' the weapon mastery inside the inner template, so like, the part that says, idk, '13 (break) 100% (horizontal rule) S' would instead stay '13 (break) 100% (colored box saying SWD) S'. But then... ehh, I mean, I'd have to actually draft that up to see if it's as ugly as I think it would risk being... haha : x.


 * since we did all this work on perfecting the TierStat ... two games... - I totally get that. And believe me, should any kind of alteration like this be done, it should NOT be done by hand. Handwork is for getting the data into a database; after that, make the code do the heavy lifting.


 * I don't know anyone who can bot. - shoot. I'm trying to learn AWB, and so far, I've learned juuuust enough regex to wish I knew someone I could ask questions of. I'm kind of proud, I can do a certain thing about "inputting a text-align:center" and it's all shiny and yay, haha X D.


 * another petty note, a bot would make me feel even more redundant and unneeded. ^^;; - truthfully.... insofar as one person can even say this to another... try to squash that feeling X D. Bots work very well in situations where the given piece of data is in an expected place (which is a thing we have done, with the T2Cing... but trying to get a bot to take disorganized data and put it in a T2C param-block? I cry to think of how to even begin to set that up : <. ). There's soooooo much to do on this site that a bot just cannot do... do not feel like a bot would take your job or anything X D. The kind of 'find a certain place and paste some code' / 'move code around' super-repetative junk that bots are good at is not the kind of work that humans ought to be spending man-hours doing on this wiki.

I mean really... a bot doing crappy repetitive work is no different than a washing machine or a dishwasher. Sure, I can wash my dishes by hand, but why would I? There's so much else I need to do with my time, why waste time when I can make a machine do the work? haha.

but... yeah... as much as I like the view-everything of a six-by-all... I don't think I can make it display EVERYTHING and also not be a crazy monstrosity.

.... oh crap. I literally just finished typing that sentence, and I figured it out. I did that test where the 6 tiers are on the Y-axis, right, and all the data extends out on the X-axis... but if I switch it, have the .... like, the 6 icons left to right, and all the data displayed down below, rather like TierStats currently already is.... That would solve the width issue, but present a height issue, but one that is theoretically easier to solve.

Again: Can? Probably. Should? Probably not.

What I wish I knew how to do with a bot was to take, like go look at that chart on the Warrior D3 page... i mean, the data is already organized, just not like we want it. Theoretically, that is right up bot-alley, as far as 'things they would be good at'... if only I knew how to do it... ;_;. sighh. Well, you've probably noticed me editing in some D3 story info; I finally started playing it, haha. I'm keeping my eye out for what Range matters for.

Mostly? I REALLY need to learn how to build a real database here... Evilities would be so much better in database/called format, not to mention all this weapon crap. Seriously. Giant rant-thread about 'wtcrap is this weapon crap' incoming.
