Spell tomes Catagory
Hey, I was wondering why you removed "Oblivion:Spell tomes" and "Oblivion: Books" from the category's the template adds when the article is made. spell tomes are books and the spell tomes are a unique group of books so i dont see why they where where removed Cheatcodechamp (talk) 04:33, May 26, 2012 (UTC)

Im sorry to disagree, But Oblivion Spell tomes are more like books then the ones in Skyrim. Unlike the ones in Skyrim, they can be opened up and read. The reason i haven't put the "Content" in is because the content says what the spell is and that information was added already. They also dont get destroyed after being read unlike Skyrim Tomes. Because of small thinks like these are are as much books as they are spells. Plus they are DLC content, so they need to be separate from other articles in some way.

UESP has a picture of what the inside looks like :http://www.uesp.net/wiki/File:OB-Spell_Tome.jpg I have the Spell tome DLC, this is a part of why i started working on them and im proud of the work i have done on them so far. Since they are being argued over im going to take a break from working on them until they have clear categories i can add them to. Please keep me informed on the argument or at least let me know when a decision has been made.

Deleted?
Just wondering why you removed Hand-to-Hand(Skyrim), I know it's not an official skill, but I did specify that, I made the page to discuss the play style and make known the Un-armed finishing moves. Just wanted a bit of an explanation (the one I was given when I checked for the page left alot out) Vahn86 (talk) 23:10, May 29, 2012 (UTC)

Requesting permission to add videos on wikis
Hi  Deyvid, 



I would like to know if I could have permission to add links to my YouTube videos to wiki pages. I find that video walkthroughs are very useful, easy to understand and offer great visual support. If used correctly (in a non-spammy manner, obviously), having videos around can greatly enrich this site's content. Sometimes, reading a a walkthrough isn't enough, and the user could prefer to watch a quick video instead!



I constantly upload Skyrim videos to my channel, at http://youtube.com/smikesmike05, these videos range from walkthroughs to lore, among other things.



Hope to hear from you soon :)

Stanley the Talking Grapefruit
Hey there, Omny87 here. I was the one who made the page for Stanley the Talking Grapefruit. I had a feeling it wouldn't last long and I know it was just a silly joke, but I was wondering if you knew how I could get the original page text? I'm not going to try and re-post the page; I just want to keep it for a quick laugh. Omny87 (talk) 07:04, June 2, 2012 (UTC)

Thank you
Thank you for notifying me, and what I was trying to find the founder for, is that I have created a role playing Wiki, called the Skyrim Role Playing Wiki. I formed this because I found it strange how many people I have seen complaining about not having a role playing wiki, and thought I should form one. Maybe I'll talk to someone on the Skyrim Wiki, since this is the Elder Scrolls whole and this is a Skyrim-based one. Thanks anyway! MW2 RPD ACOG (talk) 18:57, June 7, 2012 (UTC)

i belive i have a case of duel vandlism hereMrdmt010101 by vandlizing pages as 24.18.74.16 then comeing back and trying to correct it as mr Dmt010101 the reason i know this is because as the wikia con user was blast DMTDMTDMT across several pages, then he comes as "mrdmt010101" right in his name, and trys to clean it up but i and another user already cleaned it.

Help?
As a new guy on the wiki, I am noticing many of my edits are being rolled back. I was wondering why this is. If you could clarify, I would stop making these "bad" edits and would not keep trying to re-change them. I would just like a reason why my stuff is not good.

 * With that attitude, you will surely succeeded. Might I recommend that you get in the habit of using two equal signs when making headers on talk pages? It's easier to read and trace through the table of contents. Also, please try to put your signature after the last word you type. That too is also easier to read. I call it "smoothing out air". Haha.

Hi Deyvid, I just wanted to let you know that on your Urag gro-Shub Wikia page, the price that you can sell the Elder Scroll to Urag gro-Shub at is accidentally set at "2,00" as opposed to 2,000. Just FYI, thanks!

Easters eggs - the easters eggs page have been blocked and i just found a new one that will need to be added. It about the Commander Caius; the name Caius is an alternative spelling for Gaius, Gaius Claudius Blaber, was an ancient roman commander.

Enemies
I was speaking to TombRaiser yesterday and we were discussing the problem with the term and category "creatures" refering to all hostile humans, hostile beasts and docile animals - everyone knows this is inacurate.

Given the comments of agreement in the CT a while back - we agreed that a fix was needed so we decided to go ahead and structure it better.

Creatures are defined as both docile and hostile beasts etc - and Enemies are typically humanoid hostile enemies.

IRC channel 's
Hey,

My comp restarted on me and when i returned to IRC those two new channels we spent 10 minutes getting me into are not on my list anymore and i cant get them open again. I dont what i did wrong but i may need to write down something because im somehow messing this up.

if you get the chance to let me know how to fix this that would be great

RE: Skyrim
Thank you for responding. It is unfortunate, however we do understand.

Question about two categories
Hello. I just wanted to ask you about two categories I saw floating around. One of them is Oblivion: Quest Characters. The category doesn't exactly give a definition of what constitutes as a "Quest Character", though judging by the articles in the category, every character involved in a quest counts. If that's the case, then it's missing a ton of articles. Considering none of the other games have a similar category, is it really necessary? Secondly, Oblivion: Enemies. Is its only purpose is to serve as a super-category for Oblivion: Daedra, or should it be used in articles? Reversinator (talk) 23:02, June 19, 2012 (UTC)


 * Now I have a question about a few more categories. While I was deleting the Quest Character category (I saw the message you left with the bot, so I'll stop), I noticed Category:Leyawiin. It apparently comprises all the buildings and characters in Leyawiin, though I'm pretty sure it's incomplete. There also exist similar categories for Chorrol, Kvatch, and Passwall. Since there are no other categories like these ones, plus they're all unfinished, should they be deleted? Reversinator (talk) 23:31, June 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry, just let me bother you one more time: Should Category:Blackwood Company be removed from the character articles, considering its sub-category Category:Blackwood Company Members are already on them, or should the sub-category be scrapped entirely? Reversinator (talk) 00:42, June 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * There are two other articles in the category: Blackwood Ring of Silence and Blackwood Company Hall. What do I do with those? Reversinator (talk) 00:52, June 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * All three categories? But there's only one: Category:Blackwood Company Members. Reversinator (talk) 00:58, June 20, 2012 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for removing me from the patroller section, would have wanted to ask you seeing my inactivity but got busy and eventually forgot about it. I'm not sure if this is normal but I can still see the "[rollback]" button when comparing two versions of a page.

Keep up the good work (this wiki gained around 3k pages since I've last been here... that's great, really)!

DwemerBot Issue
Hi Deyvid. I've run into a little problem when running DwemerBot. After a little bit of trouble shooting, I discovered that wiki text searches are disabled at elderscrolls.wikia.com. I couldn't understand why I kept getting 0 results when trying to create the search list for doing a bot edit run. Has this changed recently? Category searches are not a problem, but when I need to change a section title (for instance) I need to be able to do a text search, which I now find I cannot do. Is this something we can change? Thanks. GramsJ (talk) 04:09, June 22, 2012 (UTC)

Actually, doing a category search using the text "Category:Images" works just fine. It's when you select one of the last two Sources in the dropdown list, one of which is "Wiki search (text)." When I make that selection and type the desired text in the "Wiki search" blank, I get 0 results. I tried using it for Tomb's last request to search for "See Also" and the other phrases, and got 0 results. If you do a text search of the wiki in IE (in the address bar), you will get the error code that text search is disabled on this wiki. I hope that helps. GramsJ (talk) 04:35, June 22, 2012 (UTC)

Destruction
Alright, there are some other perks I might do the same with if that's alright as currently I have added several notes and see also mentions to the heavy armor perk list that looks out of place. I recently did some testing and discovered Cushioned for instance also protects against environmental physics such as items thrown with telekinesis or launched when a draugr uses force shout or those annoying skeletal remains that cause the pc to fly forward and take damage when you walk across them. Mictlantecuhtli (talk) 12:33, June 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * I tested Impact some more, I have yet to see if the damage bump from the augmented perks applies the extra stagger or if it's granted as a secret bonus of the augmented perks. I plan to use a philter or draught of destruction to gain 50% bonus damage and see if the creatures still stagger. I also didn't consider that maybe disintegrate, etc are providing the increased stagger to the spells also and can test it simultaneously with the potion method (since I have a save without augmented frost, flames). So far Cushioned and Tower of Strength are the two biggest ones I have found new info when using. Cusioned for the reduced physics damage from thrown items or items the player bumps into and tower of strength because reduced stagger means reduced spell interruption along with it's other uses. I don't have a convenient save to test tower of strength against enemy disarm shouts however (need a save where I don't have the perk but can immediately take it when needed for comparison), but I have never been disarmed using it with force without effort.

The Forums
I said I was trying to think of a better layout for the forums and this is what I came up with:

The Elder Scrolls
 * The Elder Scrolls Lore Discussion (A forum for the discussion of the very rich and detailed lore of The Elder Scrolls universe, seperate from the gameplay. This includes plot elements and the information contained in the many books that Elder Scrolls games are known for)
 * The Elder Scrolls General Discussion (A forum for general discussion of the Elder Scrolls series unrelated to any specific game)

The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim (Current Title)
 * Skyrim General Discussion (A forum for the discussion of general topics related to Skyrim)
 * Skyrim Gameplay Discussion (A forum for the discussion of elements of the game directly related to gameplay)
 * Skyrim Creation Kit Discussion (A forum for the discussion of the Skyrim Creation Kit and modding)

The Elder Scrolls: Online (Future Title)
 * The Elder Scrolls: Online General Discussion

The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion (Legacy Title)
 * The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion General Discussion
 * The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Gameplay Discussion
 * The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Construction Set Discussion

The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind (Legacy Title)
 * The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind General Discussion
 * The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind Gameplay Discussion
 * The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind Tool Set Discussion

The Elder Scrolls Technical Help (Forums for requesting help dealing with glitches, bugs, etc)
 * Skyrim Technical Help
 * Oblivion Technical Help
 * Morrowind Technical Help


 * The Elder Scrolls Wikia Discussion

I think the Oblivion and Morrowind sections would be useful since I know some people still play those titles (since they were on consoles a lot of people still have the disks laying around. On the PC the massive amount of mods out there still make them a worthwhile play, though some of the modding websites have suffered losses over the years). Including forum sections for them might also help in getting some of the sections of the wikia related to the older games fleshed out a bit more. They along with discussion of the upcoming Online version should probably be kept seperate though.

Allowing forum posts for the older games to be in select non-english languages might help even more as long as it doesn't extend past the forums, it depends on how many of your posters speak a foreign language fluently (Spanish and Portuguese were common at the DA Wikia, but I don't think anyone ever suggested it while I was there). A poll would probably answer if that's a good idea pretty well. Having a seperate forum section for that might be useful too.

The modding community tends to keep people playing these games for quite a long time, but definitely needs it's own forums sections and it should probably be made clear that modding discussion on the wikia is for SFW mods only.

I didn't include it in the above, but a section for submitted artwork could be good, since the fan art community tends to produce some nice stuff. It'd be best if people could be convinced to embed pictures off of their deviant art, photobucket accounts, etc. rather than flooding the wikia photo section with them. That might be one to try out and then pull if it doesn't work.

It's my opinion that technical help should be kept fully seperate, and for simplicities sake posts should be prefaced with something summing up what they're about. Examples:
 * "Forum: Item Bug - X item seems to be bugged"
 * "Forum: Game Crashing - My game keeps crashing when I do X"

Some people end up knowing a lot about certain aspects of the game and can answer certain questions really quickly if given just a little more info from the get-go (but won't really want to bother asking for it if it's not already there). The modding community can lead to certain types of bugs being especially common, and this little bit of information can really help in answering these questions quickly. It'd also be good to mention at the top of the section certain things that are almost always going to be asked when people ask certain sorts of questions (like if the poster is using mods, and if they've tried disabling them, etc).

I'm kind of a forum enthusiast if that's not obvious, and I've been a mod or admin on a half dozen or so over the years. The Dragon Age Wikia was the one I've been on that was most similar to this one though (hardcore fanbase, the complications that arise from modding, etc), and I learned quite a bit from it (and a bit more since). If only I still had the kind of time on my hands I used to though, lol. My media queue has gotten massive, I don't even have time to be a regular poster to one (way too much reading to do). I can only really devote four or five hours a week these days, and I have to spread that among different forums. I'd be playing Skyrim even less if I couldn't chat with people I needed to over Steam while I play.

If you don't have any people specifically designated for it, some people to act as moderators for just the forums is pretty useful. There was a huge problem at the Dragon Age Wikia quite a while back that resulted in the loss of one of the admins who was great at coding but terrible at talking to the users (I still don't think he meant to, but he came across as really antagonistic and it resulted in a lot of user complaints). Dividing up admin responsibility to certain parts of the wikia could be quite beneficial and prevent you guys from ever having to deal with something like that. Whoever's best at managing the forums should be the go to, since it takes it's own specific skill set. Heavily trafficed forums can be time consuming too run too, and an admins and mods who spend their time reading them and getting to know the regulars are essential.

I don't want it to seem like I think this wikia is lacking, because I don't in the slightest. I just think if you guys improved your forums it'd be a great boon to you. You guys really have done a great job here, there's not a question about the game I've ever had that couldn't be answered just by browsing your pages (why I've never posted here before). These wikia's have the ability to become so much more useful than the official sites, and part of that is having great forums (which often end up being posted to in parralel with the official, which can lead to you getting info off the official ones that can otherwise be lost in their threads).

I'm not sure about Bethesda, but I've actually talked to BioWare people and it's apparently not unusual for them to come on the wikia's for their games since they often act as secondary community hubs since the collective works on wikia's often result in information archived even better than their own lore bibles, the most knowledable players tend to end up on them, and questions can be answered way faster due to the wikia's internal links.

Oh, I also thought it might be nice to embed the most important current trailer on the main page somewhere along with a link to the relevant article (featured article I guess?). Currently that'd be the Dawngaurd trailer, and I suspect you guys will have a nice spike in the related traffic come Tuesday with a lot of interest in that trailer and information about the DLC, and people will probably be checking back a lot to see if there's finally news about the PC and PS3 release dates. Good luck, I know how much work those traffic floods can lead too, hopefully the staggered release will make things easier on you guys. :) Tharchion (talk) 05:26, June 25, 2012 (UTC)


 * About that last part, I know you said you're trying to keep the main page less cluttered, I just meant temporarily while the Dawnguard release is going on to simplify things. A subpage at The Elder Scrolls V: Dawnguard/FAQ linking to the main page may help curb the amount of times you all get asked the same questions over and over too. People always seem so reluctant to sift through threads to find their answers. Tharchion (talk) 05:48, June 25, 2012 (UTC)

Re: Dragonborn weapons
Why do you prefer to have and Dawnguard on all pages? This has buffed me for a while, so please enlighten me.

Also, the reason I'm removing those two can be found here. And unless a good reason for keeping them in template for is provided, I will keep substituting them. --173.52.126.60 06:27, June 25, 2012 (UTC)


 * Pages that have established titles will not need to be renamed, therefore is unneeded.
 * Game title templates may reduce byte count, but they will increase the load time, since the page will need to pull out that template to show the link. So having those templates on the page instead of the link is counterproductive.
 * Also, users who use the 'visual editor' don't see the links, they only see a green puzzle piece. It can be a little confusing when it shows up in the middle of a sentence. --173.52.126.60 06:37, June 25, 2012 (UTC)

Yes I did say he was using some sort of bot to edit, I know him and have been told by a trusted person that he is using a bot. My proof, just take a look at his contributions and check how close together the times of his edits are, do you really think a human could edit as fast as he is. He can deny it all he wants, but time does not lie.

 * Balagog gro-Nolob (talk) 07:50, June 25, 2012 (UTC)


 * I apreciate your apologies; unfortunately a great deal of respect will probably be lost in accordance to this false accusation and rather annoying ordeal. The reasoning behind you reporting the issue to Wikia seems rational and fair, and i have no obligations against it. I assure that i have not used a bot to automate edits of any sort on the wiki; from what i have inspected my edits are between 1 and 3 minutes apart, of which i have been uploaded arena map images to their appropriate locations - i really do not see how a bot can do this (although i am no expert on the subject).

Hey from South Dakota!
Hey Deyvid! Heh, yeah I figured you can see my little "background edits" here and there. There's no escaping the wiki! Haha! Even though I'm still on vacation I check in every night and make at least one edit. Don't want to miss one day! :P

I miss you guys too! Every time I come on I see everyone working on Dawnguard stuff and I still haven't played it! So, I can't even help out with the new Dawnguard pages...unless it's maintenance stuff. Heh. I've seen a lot of what's been going on here too with the masses of new pages. It's good to see that now Patrollers can "patrol" the NewPages feed. I thought I was going to have millions of pages to patrol when I got back home, since I usually do that. *Phew!*

I really am enjoying my vacation though. It's made me forget a lot about everyday troubles in life and such, but don't worry, I will come back to you guys...drama and all! xD

The Elder Scrolls Wiki:Style and formatting
It seems the style and formatting 'Categories' section is in need of revision. With the new Arena Location subcategories (eg. Category:Arena: Black Marsh Locations), the instructions regarding the use of categories on locations that exist in but not in  or  are no longer valid. Since the style and formatting is locked, I couldn't make the appropriate amendments myself. If you don't mind, i request you make the appropriate adjustments to the page to prevent possible confusion.

on random facts
i agree with you for the most part up to weapon of choice. shotgun?? theres so many more efficiant ways bombs nerve gas radiation incindiaries electricity why be limited by number of bulets? as to school i like illusion (and thus invisibility) fav faction has to be the dark brotherhood its such a great challenge i like peryite sorry and i would love oblivion if it had skyrim graphics thats like my ultmate dream game although that quest was quite fun i preffer windhelm and brynolf i married jordis and ..... altmer!?!?!?!?!? whos side r u on thalmor?? i usually go khajiit

but seriously thanks for discerning the transmundane i really needed that. it was one of my favorite skyrim quests

but anyway.... why was i here? oh yeah was wondering if any work could be done on spellbooks it would be really helpful as i really need more information on how to get some of them eg what level they start being sold by vendors where to find them places where random books are etc. the page is helpful already but i was wondering if anything could be done to improve it thankyou

Oi, I do not contribute to this site at all but I cannot see why you deleted the page for the Mundane Ring. It was definitely created for a reason -- it was literally the best ring in Oblivion.

Stoneflower, or Alex in distress.
Hi! I've been editing a Stoneflower pages. There was a Stoneflower page, which actually was about Stoneflower Petals. So I renamed it to Stoneflower Petals and created a new one for Stoneflower. It seems that I have made a mistake somewhere and now Stoneflower Petals are redirected to Stoneflower. Hope it is not something terrible as heart attack.

Thanks!

Here are the original links:

Stoneflower - http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Stoneflower

Stoneflower Petals - http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Stoneflower_Peltas btw grammar mistake here (petals, not peltas)

Unused Image deletion
As a follow up to that forum; Veetor is running through Special:UnusedFiles daily, getting through the backlog (Wikia won't render all of them in one day - That's how many unused images we have xD). That will definitely be done by August though, the stuff outlined on the forum is so that we don't have to worry about deleting images on the days we see them; We can just leave them for a while and let Veetor do the dirty work. :) 19:54, July 2, 2012 (UTC)
 * Just had a thought... Should we do it weekly instead of monthly? :O 20:11, July 2, 2012 (UTC)

Redlinks and Deleted Pages
Hi Deyvid. I was just looking at the Wanted Pages list thinking I might create a few of them. The first one I clicked on happened to be Mundane Ring. I thought the name was familiar. It seems that's one of the pages I worked on that was deleted because it was a random enchanted item. There are 6 pages that link to it. Can we recover pages that have been deleted (or do we want to if they have linkages)? If not, we need a better way to handle the deletions so that we aren't thowing more items on to the redlinks list. What do you think? Thanks, GramsJ (talk) 22:43, July 6, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks Deyvid. GramsJ (talk) 23:09, July 6, 2012 (UTC)
