Need update
Since the old passive article has been deleted. May be this list need to convert to manually input the name of the removed passive, instead of use query code. Neokowloon (talk) 07:37, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
- A similar way of querying for pages with a certain category can be done with cargo:
SMW:
{{#ask:
[[Category:Passive skills removed in 2.3.0]]
|format=ul
|limit=1000
}}
Cargo:
{{#cargo_query:
tables = _pageData
|fields = _pageData._pageName
|where = _pageData._categories HOLDS "Passive_skills_removed_in_2.3.0"
|format=ul
}}
- But the queries wont be that useful if the pages will be deleted whenever the passive skills are removed. So manual is indeed the way to go then. There's a bit of old information that can be recovered from the page history. --Illviljan (talk) 10:49, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
About the deletion
I think the problem of this list is: it now require manually update each patch by adding the removed passive to this list, as well as reading all the past patch note to fill the entries. Also, patch note miss a lot of info on removed passive as GGG sometimes saying there is new passive but not saying it is actually on the same spot of the old passive. This kind of info may or may not have a merit in the wiki, as sometimes people necro old build and no idea what is talking about on the old passive. We can't export all info from "Passive Skill" namespace to elsewhere for every remove passive, but some place to list out the name and brief summary may be helpful. Current practice on redirect the old passive to the patch note that the passive is removed, has pro and cons. Neokowloon (talk) 08:26, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
