Consistency diagnostics sortable table
I used to make lots of mistakes; so, in order to catch my own mistakes, I've trained myself to become a bit of a consistency nazi.

The following sortable table should make it easier to identify pages (if any) in need of some tidying-up for consistent properties, both individually and as part of a database.
Click and/or shift-click on the column headers to sort the table in different ways, with one or more key columns. Sometimes, by comparing rows, you notice something out of place you might want to edit.
By design, this is not a refined table: it is designed to give editors a circumstance bonus to spot inconsistencies (if any) between similar template arguments, so funny table shapes and ugly rows are what we look for.
If the table itself has a disrupted shape, two things can be to blame: whoever wrote the dpl code (likely, me) didn't test it long enough and things like an extra space or a missing space influences wikitable markup; or the transcluded content itself disrupts the markup. The latter may or may not be something to correct in the corresponding page (some content was never meant to be transcluded into a table, but if it is in this table, I might have had some reason to include it).


This particular table selects pages with the following criteria: page uses Template:Spelldescription.

Almost too long
As it is now, this query is close to hitting the system-wide record limit, currently set at 500.

Keep an eye on types
As far as I can see, the maximum number of spell subschools + descriptors (i.e. the several Type n columns) is currently 6, so column Type 7 is all empty. That's intentional: if you ever notice anything in column Type 7, that means there's something new. In that case, please update the query code to include type8, update this notice box, and check again (in case two or more were added). Or notify me, I'll do it. Thank you.
