Skyrim Map
Hello Atvelonis, on behalf of a Skyrim modification's wikia, I was wondering if we could use elderscrolls.wikia.com's interactive Skyrim map, on the page Map (Skyrim), to help our users find our dungeons and items. It would be extremely helpful, as we presently have images of sections of Skyrim's map with shaky, red lines made with microsoft paint. I do not know if you could deny/grant permission to us. We are open to agree on terms if necessary.

Thanks, CamelChip579208 (talk) 02:21, October 23, 2015 (UTC)

Policy Cat
Hey! Just wanted to point out that Forum Policy isn't in the policy category (I added it to the Site Policy's template because I can edit that). Also, shouldn't that be a Project: page rather than MediaWiki: ? -- { 03:56, October 23, 2015 (UTC) }
 * Sooo, it got pointed out to me why that was a mediawiki page after you moved it. If you go into the forums, and click the "Forum Policies/FAQ" button you'll see why. To fix that, you'll have to use template transclusion to put it on that page so it'll display when that button is clicked (i.e. ). I've checked what that redirect links to and it's all user talk pages and one forum discussion from 2013, but the redirect will have to go so the template can be used instead.

It was I who originally removed them from the page. While the image description states that they were originally supposed to be included with the text, I have not found any evidence to back this up. Here is a link to the original text http://forums.bethsoft.com/topic/1339845-magne-ge-pantheon

They should be removed, in my opinion.

Dovahsebrom (talk) 01:05, October 25, 2015 (UTC)


 * Yes, C0DA should probably get a page that summarizes its plot. Not necessarily to acknowledge whether it was completely canon or not, but just because it is relevant to mention. This was originally the plan back when the OOG texts were just getting implemented on the wiki by Jimeee and I. However, neither of us really got around to actually creating the page because it was more helpful to just edit pages already on the wiki.


 * Landfall wasn't really a page I had ever wanted to be created. A wiki contributor had made the article (and CHIM) and it was full of glaring inaccuracies that needed to be fixed before people on other sites labeled it as another reason the wiki should be ostracized.


 * Dovahsebrom (talk) 03:37, October 25, 2015 (UTC)


 * Given that the Imperial Library hasn't documented the text, I feel that's a sign we should probably just leave the full text to the website created for it. The page for it should just give a summary for C0DA alongside related texts, probably a bit of background info too.


 * Dovahsebrom (talk) 00:48, October 26, 2015 (UTC)


 * I gotta agree with Dovah. The text is just way to cumbersome to read on a wiki, and apparently it will eventually have images that would need to be added somehow later. It would be much more useful to people to have a neutral pov synopsis of the text and themes. Wulfharth (talk) 16:58, October 26, 2015 (UTC)


 * The Imperial Library documented the text here. ☞ Rim < Talk 04:25, October 31, 2015 (UTC)

(←) It's not necessarily that I believe we should only include texts the Imperial Library has documented, it's that the Imperial Library more than likely hasn't documented it for a reason. The Imperial Library holds a lot of texts that you really can't find on many other sites, C0DA on the other hand, has an entire website dedicated to holding it and most people would expect you to just read it there. It is, plain and simply, the place where the text is meant to be read, and the Imperial Library realizes this.

Our wiki doesn't have the greatest reputation amongst the other communities. Though TIL texts were added most forthright to show people that our site recognizes the OOG lore and is willing to accept its information on our articles, I have seen posters that seem to believe we are trying to make these texts ours. For that reason, it's probably best that we don't include the full text, as to these people that only says 'come read C0DA on our site instead'.

Another point, no matter how long we make the lead about its inclusion, we are still attaching the entire piece to the wiki. C0DA is very disconnected from the lore, purposefully so. It was designed so that if a person didn't want it to be true, they could say that and that would be perfectly fine, and that's how we should treat it. We create a page that recognizes its existence, summarize its plot and purpose, add a link to it, and leave it at that. If it is done this way, I will hope the page Landfall gets deleted, because it is an extremely detached and unnecessary page that finds grounding only in OOG sources.

Re: Editing
Hello,

I saw your offer for wiki editting. I am somewhat familiar with it as I run a small home brew D&D campaign wikia. I would be very interested in helping add more richness to the wiki, including more obscure and out of game lore. A little about myself: I am highly involved in the lore community. I spend every day on /r/teslore and the ES Lore Facebook group. I also spend a lot of time with more well known lore scholars on a more personal and tes related level, such as scourgicus (the writer of A Khajiit C0DA), IceFireWarden (echmer and lots of other stuff), Rotten Deadite, Mojonation, and the whole list of Selectives Postcast guys. I am very heavily involved in this deep lore community and would love to bring it to this wiki. Among many (not specifically the above mentioned) this wiki is generally viewed as a medocre source at best, and downright bad in some cases. I would absolutely love to help turn this around and help provide a better name for this wiki. More sources are always better. And of course, thanks for the good words.

Checking in on the Portable Infobox progress
Hello! I am a staff member at Wikia and I wanted to check in and see how the infobox conversions were going on your community. It looks like 32 infoboxes were converted so far but I noticed from this Insights list that there were still quite a few infoboxes left to convert. I was wondering if there was a timeline or plan in place between you and the other Admins to finish what was left.

Please let me know if there is something specifically you needed assistance with or any questions or concerns you and your community might have that is preventing or slowing the conversion progress. We are always here to help you if we can. Pinkachu ( talk ) 00:20, October 30, 2015 (UTC)

Re: Reman Empire
Erfridder is just a longer way of spelling Ridder which is the dutch title equivalent to Knight. The reason I wrote it in is because that's the title the source uses in reference to Hrol, but it really wouldn't hurt anything if you just changed it to say knight instead.

Condensing the Timeline page
Hey Atvelonis, as you've probably noticed, the Timeline page is getting pretty big, and lags a lot when trying to edit it.

I think we should split it up into special "sub-pages". All the content would appear the same as it is now, it's just that we would have it broken up into special pages which you can specifically edit, like the code on the main page.

See: Timeline/Second Era. I've just created this page as an example of what we're going to do. All the content from the Second Era timeline has been copied here. We will then put a template or form of code onto the main Timeline page, so that when the page is normally viewed, all the content from the page is displayed. You may have noticed that the  heading is missing. This is so that on the main Second Era article, we can put the timeline events in a section called "Timeline".

We will be doing this for every modern era, probably the Merethic Era, and I'm not sure about the Dawn Era since that's pretty short. Contact Jarjar and/or Flightmare to see if they know how to do it. ☞ Rim < Talk 20:12, November 2, 2015 (UTC)

Guild Resignation
Hi Atvelonis! I'm sorry to do this but I'd like to resign as Skyrim's Guild Master and from the guild as a whole. I'm sorry I couldn't be the guild master you wanted me to, but I just don't have the activity levels to justify such a position. I thought I would be able to spend more time here eventually, but my situation is only getting busier and unfortunately, I just have to take a break from the wiki as a whole as I'm spreading myself too thin, and I think I've forgotten why I started editing here in the first place. I'd recommend talking to Garry Damrau about Guild Master- they've been doing a great job across Skyrim articles while I was inactive :) -- { 02:42, November 9, 2015 (UTC) }

Hey, sorry for the lack of content recently. Real Life has been catching up.

Reported issues to Wikia
Hey Atv,

As you may have seen, I've uploaded some more images this morning. There continued to be problems with the process, and one of them did give me an error message, telling me to report the issue to Wikia. I did so, citing everything we've encountered over the last 24 hours. On the plus side, the images themselves are still ending up on the Wiki; the actual process is just erratically glitched. No excuses, then! I'll let you know when I get a reply.

Create Article Templates
Hello Atvelonis!!

I was poking around the wiki and I saw some quest pages needed making to remove some redlinks. I soon noticed that quite a few of the templates that make a basic layout for new pages are "incorrect", in the sense that they aren't exactly how we're making them now.

Since then, I did quite a bit of work on some of the templates for making new pages, such as Template:Create article/book/Online as well as others, and a lot of the infobox stuff on the layouts should have the = signs aligned now. I'd recommend you check over it in case I made any mistakes.

Oh, and quite a few of the templates for making pages on MediaWiki:Newarticletext don't seem to quite do anything more than provide blank links, such as Template:Create article/enemies/Online and Template:Create article/clothing/Online. They're basically redlinks on the create page layout.

Thanks! Hope I helped out more than I broke pages... The Crusader of Truth (talk) 06:46, November 27, 2015 (UTC)


 * I forgot to tell you, I made every "Create Page" template that I could. Some of them, such as "Arena Book", I didn't make (Arena doesn't have books, at least, to my knowledge).

Redguard and News
Hey Atvelonis, I noticed that you added the Origins of Cyrus page and I wanted to let you know that I will be working on transporting all the images from here onto the wiki.

On the topic of Redguard, I found this image on the same archived website. I added it to the wiki as File:Redguard Logo.png, and figured you could use it for Redguard stubs via Template:Stub.

Also, regarding your "Elder Scrolls Games 60 - 75% off on Steam" blog post, I should tell you that I created a category called Category:Temporary News for news about sales and such. Essentially, how you use it is you add the category to any blog post of which it applies to, and when the topic has expired, you remove Category:News from it. This abolishes the need to delete temporary news posts once their time is up, and instead archive them where they can be found again. I probably should have told the admins earlier on, but it seems I forgot.

The time i can devote to the wiki has been limited as of late, so i will only add a few at a time. One more thing. Can you ask Tim to add the Australian prices to the Crown Package price table.

Working on some userbox links
Hey Atv!

I was doing some work to userbox links today (taking a pause from the characters list) and I noticed that there was two male userboxes, "User-Male", and "User-male". I changed all of the links to "User-Male" (which is the same format all the other userbox names use) and then moved the source from "male" to "Male". (Aka, I basically moved "male" to "Male" and then changed template links to match it.) However, there was one user who locked their profile... you. :P

I'm not going to change the "male" to delete (because then a huge notice would be in your userboxes), so once you change it to "User-Male" delete User:male please. If you need me to clarify, I should be in chat.

Thanks once again!

I finished adding all the available images, and it looks a lot better. Thanks for the suggestion. I tried that link to the site you sent me to see if i can get images for the discontinued content, but i also had issues with the age verification thing with the older ESO page, so for now i put the template in the place of those images. I debated on not using a template, but i thought the table of contents was way too long, so i kept it. Is that ok, or is having a table of contents preferable?

RE: Crafting Surveys
Hello! I will be happy to explain this matter as clearly as possible. Think of it as a cycle of repeatable quests called Crafting Writs, you go to a board and get the writ/quest. It gives the player a list of items to craft. Once these items are crafted, they must be delivered to finish the writ/quest. As a reward, the player will always get gold, XP and a container with other rewards (for example Alchemist Vessel, Blacksmith Crate, or Clothier Satchel). Inside these containers, the player may find repair kits, materials for traits, intricate or ornate items, and Crafting Surveys. Now this is explained in the survey articles I've done, Crafting surveys are maps that the player must follow to find a whole lot of materials. This allows them to complete more Crafting writs unless they choose otherwise. I hope that was useful! I didn't know about Crafting Surveys article. Is it new? When I started creating Survey articles I thought about creating it myself, as well as other like... main pages to have all the surveys in one place, once I could discuss it with you and I had more to add in them. It's good to know they are there already (: I will surely be adding some general information later about all the crafting matter, such as this explanation I just gave you but more prepared of course. Feel free to create articles for the redlinks, it would be great! Then I can edit those to add more information when I come across the surveys. Happy editing to you as well!

Reflists
Hey Atv!

I was browsing the one and only Star Wars wiki (I was NOT browsing for information about Jar Jar Binks! ) and I noticed their Ref List was designed a little different. I recalled the one time I brought up Ref Lists in the moot, which was pointed to discussing a ref list over 200 items long, and noticed that this may work out. With a bit of messing around here, I managed to configure a ref list out so that it doesn't take up as much space. I was figuring this might help out on some of the larger ref-lists. I wanted to know, what are your thoughts on this idea?

Oh, and one more thing, while I remember: all of the talkpages have a header that states "This talk page belongs to " However, the Talk Page policy states that "talk pages belong to the community". I was wondering if that should be re-phrased..?

Hey Atvelonis, yesterday I wanted to create a page on the Morrowind Characters, but the Morrowind Character creation is different from the rest, any explanation for this? Blademaster Jauffre (talk) 15:43, December 18, 2015 (UTC) Jauffre

page deletions
I accidentally made some pages for random spawn npcs Vannyvyra Masterfield and Chrystyn Wicksmith I was wondering if you could delete them. They are just randomly assigned names given to two randomly chosen sprites to spawn randomly. On the down low, this is because they are "ladies of the night"...The Boy Who Cried Godzilla (talk) 19:16, December 19, 2015 (UTC)

Fan Contributer
You know, the second I saw this I jumped onboard and wrote out an application...until I saw it say to put three of my best examples of writing...And then it hit me...What truly distinctive pieces of writing do I have? I have properties, such as Wabbajack Grinding or the Interviews, but I am not sure if an individual blog stands out enough for them to notice me...I assume this Fan Contributer thing is a chance to talk to the developers of a property, as I have read...Perhaps talking to them about improving on certain aspects of it or promoting it...

It's something I've been doing with Wabbajack Grinding for a long, long time. But I need to condense it within a single piece or two to show that I am capable of speaking to them. I can include an interview (I was thinking the one with Bluesonic1) to show my knowledge and open promotion of the craft as well. But I need to write something truly definitive if they were to even consider me...

Atvelonis, do you have any suggestions for such a piece. I have an idea of what I would like to do, but perhaps you may have something better. And if it would be alright, I would like you to give an honest-to-God opinion of it once it is finished.

My talk page
The reason that person is targeting my talk page is because he was a problem on another wiki where I'm an admin, we finally used a range block on his IP to deal with him so now he gets his kicks out of going to other wikis and messing with my talk page/message wall. You can go ahead an leave it locked, I can let someone know if I need it unlocked down the road. ReapTheChaos (talk) 01:31, December 24, 2015 (UTC)

More Surveys
Hello! I just wanted to let you know that there also Provisioner Surveys in. If those were added to Crafting Surveys and the articles were created we would also be closer to reaching the 40,000 articles goal. ;)

Merry Christmas!

Renaming Articles
Hello! I wanted to ask about renaming two articles. The first one is Smithing (Online). I think Blacksmithing (Online) would be a much proper name as the game always makes reference to it that way and never as Smithing, but I don't know if I can rename it just like that or I have to do something to the links in other articles.

The second is Abilities (Online) that should be changed to Skills (Online) basically for the same reason, the game always refers to them as skills and never as abilities. The problem here is that Skills (Online) already exists. It seems that it was the original name and then it was changed to abilities, I don't know why. What should I do?

Thank you. Sweetroll Scrolls (talk) 17:23, December 30, 2015 (UTC)

RE: ALLPLAT
I figured we could just alter Template:ALLPLAT so that doing something like would develop "", while doing  would do "" and  would do "🇲🇴". That way we wouldn't have to make completely separate templates. ☞ Rim < Talk 20:46, December 31, 2015 (UTC)

Re: Activity
I'll be honest, I have considered resigning from my position several times but I didn't want to pressure Azura with the knowledge that he is the only remaining forum moderator (though I'm sure he already thinks of it like that). I was always kind of inactive with my moderation, partially because I'm just very lenient with what I allow in discussion. I wouldn't really use my tools because I never got in many situations where I thought I needed to. I tend to tolerate some flamewars and off-topic posting as long as they don't get too out of control, which Azura normally ends up cracking down on before it reaches that point for me anyways. For the most part, these forums are pretty tame.

I wanted to put a stop to thread necromancy but there really isn't a way to do that that doesn't involve bumping the thread with a normally ignored warning or leaving a closed thread on the front page of relatively inactive boards. Trolling almost never happens on these forums, so basically my job became redirecting new threads to their correct boards (which Azura would get to faster than me anyways).

Given Azura's much more thorough moderation, my job eventually became kind of redundant as Azura did it for me (which I'm certainly not complaining about). I, however, decided to not resign for the reason stated above, and just so that in the rare occasion Azura actually needed help, I'd be there. It's also kind of daunting that I haven't really come across any users that I believe would be good moderators.

I concluded that if people actually felt I shouldn't have the tools anymore, I'd give them up, but I'd keep them otherwise.

Personal Thank You
Hey Atvelonis, I just want to personally thank you for what you have done. With my current situation, I wasn't able to get the T-Shirt, and you went out of your way to get me something else, and I thank you for that. So yeah, I just wanted to thank you personally, since chat is just not the same. Ottoman Hold (talk) 16:12, January 3, 2016 (UTC)

I actually forgot to put a heading first time round
Fish,

I have removed all expand templates where possible. There are some where it is not obvious where it is linked from within the articles. See the the Pages that Link to thing...

The Project is Complete
Well, I've talked it up and I've finally completed it, now I just want to see how it does. It's a rather long one, but I divided it up into different sections to make it an easier read. When you have the time, I would like to know if it's up to stuff against the Fan Contributor requirements. http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Madman97/Madman_Tonight_with_Three_Masters_of_Horror_(And_One_Unexpected_Guest)

Also, the shirt finally arrived. I highly recommend getting one yourself, because it's awesome! Thanks again!

User Creating pointless Pages
Hi Atv, just wanted to point out a user, DaggerMaster2500. The user has made at least five pointless articles, that I know of are Icebergs, Draugr Coffin, Portal 2 Easter Egg in Skyrim, Log Pile, and Vampiric Drain (Shade). I warned them after the first two, but that didn't stop the user. We marked all the unneeded pages as deletions, and it seems the user has stopped for now. Just wanted to mention it to you, since maybe they will listen to an admin. Ottoman Hold (talk) 16:14, January 8, 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that, the user seems to have stopped. Ottoman Hold (talk) 19:40, January 9, 2016 (UTC)
