I was trying to update some information on the Shaman wiki page today and somehow inadvertently took out the Pet information section in the process. The strange part is:

A) I didn't edit that section
B) if you edit that section and preview it, the pet info table appears just fine
C) the code is identical to the code for the Necromancer's pet info section (if you change Necromancer=>Shaman), and that page works fine
D) if I undo my change, it doesn't fix the section

The code for that section is just:

{{#lsth:Pet Guide|[[Shaman]] Pets}}So, does anyone have any idea how that lsth tag works, or better yet why it stopped working?

I also would like to know about this. I took a look at it when you posted but just as you said it matches up to the other class pages that contain a pet guide. Yet it does not display the chart. a couple other class pages also have this same problem.

As you mentioned this is what it is supposed to look like.(for anyone curious)

Does anyone even know who's in charge of the wiki? I thought I remember seeing a name once but I can't remember who it was.

It's a bunch of names I think but I always thought Rahvin held the reins as he was the one with the padlock when he didn't want you posting edits or reposting something he'd removed.

It is for including a section of a page from another page.

It works like:

{{#lsth:Page Name|Section Name}

So this is pulling the ==[[Shaman]] Pets== section from the Pet Guide page.

Thanks for the explanation Argh (I suspected as much, but wasn't sure).

In any case, the problem fixed itself after I saved the pet section again (with no changes). Gotta love old wiki software.
