TokenDB Feature Request: Forum Ready Token URL Lists

Just thinking this would be very useful to forum goers.

Feature:
User inputs a list of comma separated token names into a text field. User hits a submit button .

The TokenDB returns the list of token names wrapped with the corresponding URLs to their TokenDB pages, new lines per name, formatted such that it is ready to be pasted into a forum post. Any user inputted names that do not map to just one DB record are not wrapped with a URL.

Bonus: Rarity color formatting added at the same time.


Regards.

That would be a very useful feature.

Want

I do something similar in excel from my inventory spreadsheet. Here's the formula I use:It works really well for most tokens. Occasionally I come across a token that has an unusual URL that doesn't follow the pattern. In that case I just put the strange "slug" in column C. For reference, here's what each cell represents.
B2: Token name as it appears on the token.
C2: TokenDB slug if it differs greatly from the token name. A good example is Brawler's Mug. The TokenDB "slug" is: brawlers-mug-rare
D2: Token rarity as one of the following terms: Combo, Common, Eldritch, Enhanced, Exalted, Legendary, Rare, Relic, Ultrarare, Uncommon

That's it! Hopefully it will be useful to someone.

Since there are two completely different tokens with the exact same name, I had to have a way to distinguish them.

I'd say that's a "rare" occurrence.

Whoa.
Masterful formula. Very cool.
