Missing images
Hi Tomb, I'm slowly going through the missing images section and I have a question if there is a need to have a page for all subtypes of certain characters. On the Character Image Needed page there are for example 20 different vampire articles that need an image of each vampire subtype. And there are several more, like the different Dremora types or Mythic Dawn types. Should there be one of each or could one list those on the main article about these? Then another matter, I saw this article Scourge Barrow, it has an Oblivion template but the link is to a location in Morrowind. I can't find it in the construction set so I guess someone added the wrong template? EbonySkyrim (talk) 22:38, June 7, 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes.. ok, I'll have a look. EbonySkyrim (talk) 10:43, June 11, 2013 (UTC)

Factual correction: Big problem with Tiber Septim.
I have encountered what I consider to be a fairly large problem whilst browsing the Wiki. Whilst reading the article on Atmora (http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Atmora), in the article it states "Tiber Septim was the last purported immigrant from Atmora, who is said to have left the continent in his youth during the Second Era." But in the article about Tiber Septim (http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Tiber_Septim) it states "Tiber Septim was born on the island kingdom Alcaire, as Hjalti Earlyhe-Beard. He was brought up in Skyrim, where he learned the ways of the warrior and the strategies of war from the chieftains there". This was confusing to me because it states that he was born in Atmora in one article and that he was born in Alcaire in another article. I read on the UESP Pages (2nd best elder scrolls wiki) and the article on Tiber Septim on that site states "'''He was born in  Atmora under the name  Talos, meaning Stormcrown in the old  Ehlnofey." This is a big problem that needs to be resolved! I hope you can fix this. Thank You TheAncientNorthWind (talk) 02:15, June 8, 2013 (UTC) The Ancient North Wind. '''

A New Cursor for the Wiki
Hey there Tombraiser! I was checking out some cursors and I found this awesome Skyrim cursor that could be used on the wiki. I don't how to use the code and all, try asking the admins at the PvZ Wiki, they should know how to work it. I'll give you the link to, just copy the HTML at the page if they've told you. Here it is.

Thanks if you consider using it!

Online references
Hey Tomb,

I thought we'd decided that we need refs for all mentions to, like if someone puts it in "Appearances", we add a ref next to it. Also, if it was just me who decided, do you agree? :P

I've posted to Ufd43765's talk page because he's not adding refs to anything about Online, but he keeps adding back anything i revert. What should we do? Kroq-gar78 (talk) 03:48, June 11, 2013 (UTC)

Tiber Septim
Hi! Tiber Septim's history is deliberately vague. There are two histories according to the lore.


 * The one the Empire believes (and the one that is considered by most people to be Imperial propaganda) is that Septim was from Atmora and came to Skyim as a youth.

Tiber being born in Atmora is unlikely because Atmora was most likely a frozen wasteland as a few books mention. However it's still worth mentioning this on the page as the books mention it. He was the last purported emigrant.
 * The other, that was written by Wulfharth in the Heresy, mentions that he was called Hjalti from Alcaire, High Rock. This version is not promoted by the Empire.

The second story is much more likely. Especially since the Ghost of Old H'Roldan calls you "Hjalti". Both histories are valid and the article should explain that somehow. I planned to do it at some point, but.... you know :D

Removing Game
Hi Tomb, just a question. I know we started to remove the game from the lead from character pages so they get more "personal", and then it has been moved from info boxes, like quests and ingredients. But should this happen on all types of articles? Like locations too? I ask as there is one doing this all over now, but not always... EbonySkyrim (talk) 18:59, June 12, 2013 (UTC)


 * Just a side note, I'm not sure why the game is being removed from non-character articles. The reasoning for removing it from characters was to get away from leads that read like: "Neloth is a Dunmer in ." - which was terrible. I can see it being good for location pages as we would have better leads like "Halted Stream Camp is a bandit encampment located in Whiterun Hold" rather than "Halted Stream Camp is a bandit encampment located in ".


 * But for pages like quests, items, weapons and armor, the lead wasn't as clunky. I'm not a fan of it's removal from these pages. Jimeee (talk) 19:23, June 12, 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi again Tomb, I asked Jimeee about what to do with this "game in lead" to be or not to be. It is agreed on that it shouldn't be on character articles and it has been removed on some of the templates, but not all. There isn't an a agreed standard on which non-character articles it should be removed. He suggested that you, Kroq and Kenny could discuss on a standard as he isn't editing so much at the moment. It would be good I think to try and have a standard on this. :) I'm leaving this message to you all. EbonySkyrim (talk) 17:11, June 13, 2013 (UTC)

Daggerfall pages
The Daggerfall pages are in dire need of help. The download that the website has when you click on Daggerfall doesn't work because the game is meant for very old computers from the 90s. So I made a download that actually works, Easy Daggerfall Download and I was wondering if you could get it on the front page so everyone could help out with the Daggerfall wiki. Please help me And the Daggerfall wiki.


 * Hi, I was the one that made the Daggerfall download page, I saw the message that you left on my wall. The link on the daggerfall page doesn't need to be updated, that is the actual game, but you can't play it on a normal modern computer unless you use my page, I just wanted some more publicity on the wiki for it so people can start adding more Daggerfall pages.


 * It should still link directly to the official website and not to the download file, that way people can read the information on downloading Daggerfall from the source. It states that it is only playable through a DOS emulator on the official website. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  21:24, June 14, 2013 (UTC)


 * It must've been on their website before the redesign for Skyrim them :( Kroq-gar78 (talk) 22:20, June 14, 2013 (UTC)

The Elder Scrolls Wiki:Vandalism in progress
Hey Tomb, i got a quick question: Has the form to report vandals also dissappeared for you on The Elder Scrolls Wiki:Vandalism in progress? For me the form is gone. And I'm not the only one since one of our fellow users as also posted the problem on the talk page. 09:10, June 17, 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't think Sactage is going to respond any time soon, so i think that would be the best solution for now. 19:32, June 17, 2013 (UTC)

Check ID and Harkon
Hi Tomb,

Are the ID's on Miraak (Mask) correct? All of them start with 00, not 01 or anything like most expansions.

Also, should the "Prophet" section on Harkon be split by quest? It kinda is just a big mashup of his interactions in different quests, but it's all listed under the quest "Prophet". Kroq-gar78 (talk) 16:49, June 18, 2013 (UTC)


 * Ok, I'll ask him. Also, I've noticed that almost everything in Category:Named Creatures is from Skyrim, and there's an uncreated category called Category:Morrowind: Named Creatures with one article in it. Should we redo these categories and add maybe "Skyrim: Named Dragons" and "Oblivion: Named Creatures"? Kroq-gar78 (talk) 17:57, June 18, 2013 (UTC)

Image Categories
I was thinking it could be helpful if stuff like "Category:Skyrim: Character Images" was categorized under "Category:Skyrim: Characters", so the images are more accessible. Same with items/locations/etc. Other wikis I've been on seem to do that. Just an idea. --Shockstorm (talk) 02:55, June 19, 2013 (UTC)


 * That's actually not a bad idea... Kroq-gar78 (talk) 02:57, June 19, 2013 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I don't see why not. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  03:16, June 19, 2013 (UTC)
