December Update included Signature images implementation and Developer tools!

Signature images

Introducing Signature card images! Check out notable examples: Lord Marrowgar and Lor'themar Theron.

• New section in the infobox: Signature. This includes the Signature card image and the Signature artist, directly declared from the Hearthstone client!
• Full art for the signature in Gallery section.
• Artist label will no longer present in Flavor section, but rather in each image section.

Thanks to Firestone creators for providing us the images!

For editors

• You can now declare |derived_imgSignatureFullArt if you want to hard-define the file name for signature art.
• Signature art's file name will be default as <card name>_signature_full.jpg
• Like any artwork, the file's summary of the signature full art should still use {{Card artwork}} to include source and categorize it.

Developer tools

Developers rejoice! As I have mentioned in Hearthstone_Wiki:News_7, I'm planning to create some tools that will help you retrieve the data from Hearthstone Wiki. There are many kinds of data that may prove useful to your application(s) related to Hearthstone.

I have created a Github repository that contains such tools for you, written in Python. You can check them out here.

The first tool I have created will help you get the cleaned and full list of Card articles on Hearthstone Wiki, called getWikiPages. The list will be written in JSON format like this:

[
 {
  "dbfId": 75742,
  "id": "PVPDR_GUEST_Diablot6",
  "page": "https://hearthstone.fandom.com/wiki/%3F%3F%3F_(75742)"
 }
]

Don't hesitate to leave messages in Talk or in Discord channel if you have any feedback or questions, and stay tuned for more tools coming soon!
