== Navbox error ==
On [[Arachnids]] and [[Baboons]] faction pages, in "List of Factions" navbox, faction in question disappears from navbox instead of becoming white-colored like on other faction pages.
Additionaly some of faction pages lack [[Arachnids]] in their "List of Factions" navbox. Notably:
*[[:Category:Barathrumites_(faction)]]
*[[:Category:Cannibals_(faction)]]
*[[:Category:Cragmensch_(faction)]]
*[[:Category:Dogs_(faction)]]
*[[:Category:Dromad_merchants_(faction)]]
*[[:Category:Fellowship_of_Wardens_(faction)]]
*[[:Category:Glow-Wights_(faction)]]
*[[:Category:Mechanimists_(faction)]]
*[[:Category:Seekers_of_the_Sightless_Way_(faction)]]
*[[:Category:Swine_(faction)]]
*[[Mollusks]]
Strangely, if I go to editor and call a preview - all navboxes show everything correctly. But not on pages themselves.
:I think this was just a caching issue - I've purged the cache on all those pages and everything looks fine to me now. Let me know if you're still having an issue.

== The merchant's guild faction navbox favilinks to the wrong apple farmer ==
The Apple Farmer favilink in the Merchant's guild navbox is a favilink to the regular {{favilink|apple farmer}}, a member of the farmer's guild, rather than {{favilink|apple farmer (merchant)}}, a member of the merchant's guild.
The Apple Farmer favilink in the Merchant's guild navbox is a favilink to the regular {{favilink|apple farmer}}, a member of the farmer's guild, rather than {{favilink id|AppleMerchant|apple farmer (merchant)}}, a member of the merchant's guild.

:I noticed the opposite behavior (the Farmers' Guild navbox links to the merchant version of the Apple Farmer). Either way, this is a bit tricky to fix because [[:Template:Creature navbox query]] currently creates a favilink using GeneralData.PlainName, which is the same for both of these. We can't simply update the query to use ID, because that would break other navboxes (namely [[:Template:Robots Navbox]]). So we either need a new parameter for creature navbox query to allow using the '''favilink id''' template instead of the '''favilink''' template, or we need to do something else, such as overriding the display name of the merchant in QBE to "apple farmer (merchant)", which would then give it a unique PlainName. I would probably recommend the latter solution, but will wait a bit in case Teamtoto has other thoughts.

::: - Uhh, I don't know how using favilink id would break other templates but i changed it so it's favilink id now. robots navbox looks fine but if you see any other issues bother me. [[User:Teamtoto|Teamtoto]] ([[User talk:Teamtoto|talk]]) 23:29, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
:::: - All dynamic tinker turrets have the same ID (TinkerTurret). So this change caused about 20 turrets to no longer appear in the Robots navbox. I reverted it for now. We could either manually edit all the TurretTinker pages to have unique IDs and then reapply your update, or we could just override the display name of apple farmer in QBE.

== [[Data:Artifact]] is wrong ==
[[Data:Artifact]] doesn't document the way encounter tables work, it documents the way they <i>probably should</i> work.  (Hopefully this will be made irrelevant soonish by decommissioning of encounter tables.)  For example, when you have
<pre>
      <tableobject Chance="95" Table="Artifact 0C"></tableobject>
      <tableobject Chance="5" Table="Artifact 0R"></tableobject>
</pre>
naturally you'd think this means a weighted roll where you have a 95% chance to get an Artifact 0C and a 5% chance to get an Artifact 0R.  It doesn't; you have a 95% chance of an Artifact 0C and, separately and independently, a 5% chance of an Artifact 0R. (Therefore, a 4.75% chance of nothing.)
Since these tables are used for player starting gear, this results in huge variability and confusion in player starting loadouts. [[User:Chaos5023|Chaos5023]] ([[User talk:Chaos5023|talk]]) 14:53, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
* Ohhh, thank you for the clarification ^^; I will try and fix them. [[User:Teamtoto|Teamtoto]] ([[User talk:Teamtoto|talk]]) 16:05, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
