Admin
Hi KickAssJedi. Wikiscrolls isn't actually hosted by Wikia, so I'm not able to make you an admin there. Instead, I've made you an admin here at Wikia's Elder Scrolls wiki. This site has been inactive for some time and has no other active admins, so I'm hoping you will be interested in reviving and relaunching it. If you need any help with that, just let me know.

Do you think the users at the other wiki would be interested in moving their content here? Their content is also under a free license, so it could be merged with this wiki. I can help you to do that actual move if the community decides to go ahead a merge. Angela (talk) 17:24, 14 March 2008 (UTC)


 * I went ahead with the merge since we're trialing a new tool which moves wikis. You can find the imported pages here. Let me know what you think. I can easily remove them if you'd rather not seed the wiki in this way. Angela (talk) 01:29, 15 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Hey, I'm the owner of the content over at Wikiscrolls. If you want, I could relicense everything to whatever license suits you best. Everyone (including me) lost interest in Wikiscrolls, so I'd be more than happy to have everything moved over here so it won't be wasted. --Aristeo 00:51, 16 March 2008 (UTC)


 * I meant that you could have the content without having to attribute it back to Wikiscrolls, a restriction noted here: Elder_Scrolls:Wikiscrolls. As a legality, I think I'd have to relicense everything under the GFDL, which I think is Wikia's preferred license. In addition, you could also take either the theme to UESP or the theme to Wikiscrolls (with exception to the logos), both are owned by me.


 * Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help your project. I'm glad someone's decided to take over where we left off. :) --Aristeo 03:04, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Birthsighn --> birthsign
Hi KAJ (You'll probably recognize this username),

In all of the race infobox templates you've written "birthsighn"; it should, however, be "birthsign". If you're going to add any more large templates, could you check through them, because delving through the coding to find the error is a really annoying procedure.

Thanks,

Game Lord

Stubs
Hi KAJ (Sorry if I seem to be pestering you),

I was thinking that if we had one large category:Incomplete pages, then divided that up into the following:

Stubs Cleanup required Image required Incomplete in another way

I've alredy designed userboxes for the first three that follow a basic visual idea. I thought that it would be a good idea to change the template to fit in. Right now we've got:

These templates have been removed to prevent false categorization

If we changed it it would be:

These templates have been removed to prevent false categorization

So, what do you think as admin for the wiki?

Mentor
I'm building a Mentor page right now, similar to the one on Wikiscrolls. I just wanted to say that I took the liberty of adding you to the list, as your also the sites only administrator. I hope you don't have a problem with this, but if you do, tell me and I'll remove you, or just remove yourself. Thanks - Game LordTalk 10:53, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Plans for Armor/Morrowind
Hi KAJ,

You might have noticed I've started building a page for Armors in Morrowind. Right now there are a lot of red links, but if you're going to add anything, make an individual page; for example: Armor/Morrowind-Steel Tower Shield. Don't add the tower shield into the page Armor/Morrowind-Shields. Instead add a transclusion. In the long run this will save a lot of time, because we only have to type out the information once, then transclude it to Armor/Morrowind-Shield, and Armor/Morrowind-Steel. This is easier if an item has to show up on lots of pages. Thanks :) - Game LordTalk 16:15, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

IRC
If you're interested, we could make a chatroom that we could use for coordination and chatting and stuff like that. I've registered a channel over on ECnet called #ElderScrollsWiki, so if you like the idea, come over and check it out. &mdash; Aristeo (talk) 17:02, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Try it again, it's working now. Here's the connection info if it doesn't:
 * IRC client – http://www.mirc.com (Or http://www.ecnet.org/chat if you don't want to download anything)
 * Server – irc.ecnet.org on port 6667 (It usually doesn't ask for a port, but if it does, it's 6667. The java chat handles this automatically)
 * Channel (aka chatroom) – #ElderScrollsWiki (Just type in /join #ElderScrollsWiki

I'll see you there! &mdash; Aristeo (talk) 18:54, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Looks like you just left the room. If you're having problems with the Java client, you could try the CGI client: http://ecnet.org/cgi-irc/irc.cgi &mdash; Aristeo (talk) 19:19, 17 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Oh, and don't forget to use the  command once you connect! &mdash; Aristeo (talk) 19:20, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
 * You could ask a staff member to add the channel to wikia's, and so users would be able to log in it from irc.wikia.com without the need of a program -- 19:39, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Protection
As an admin, would you mind to protect the main page for prevent vandalism? It would be a good idea. -- 19:36, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Checking out Recent Changes, You protected it for one year. I recommend you block it infinitely for prevent future problems. -- 20:39, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Improve the wiki
I've been looking around the wikia and it has improved since the first time I arrived here. I have been thinking about many ways to make it even better:
 * 1) Create a in-wiki forum (If you wish I can manage it)
 * 2) Request a wikia staff member to create interwikis between all the family.

It's all for now, you don't need nothing else for the moment. Greetings -- 20:48, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Main Page
There is no need to fully protect the Main Page. As you can see, the vandalism was from an IP address, thus semi-protection should be sufficient. Please refer to w:Help:Main Page. -- Manticore   (talk)  06:39, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Past Vandalism
Hi, KAJ. I wanted to let you know that I was extremely embarassed by the vandalism done to the main page here two weeks ago. I've talked to other active admins at UESP and can definitively say that none of us would in any way promote or condone any such behaviour. I've taken several steps to try to ensure that everybody involved with UESP knows that such vandalism is completely inappropriate. I sincerely hope that there are no repeats. --UESPNephele 16:56, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Admin
Hi KAJ,

Thanks for the support on my adminship. If you want to give support, could you please put your vote on the administrator page (It makes the whole thing look more professional.) Thanks. - Game LordTalk 15:26, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

OblivioWiki
Hello again,

You've probably heard of OblivioWiki, but had you noticed that they've moved to wikia? - Game LordTalk 17:02, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
 * It would be a good idea that they fuse the wikia with ours, and with Morrowikia too -- 20:31, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Complete re-do
Hello again...

I was going to post this on my talk page as a part reply, but thought it better to put it here. I was thinking about the wiki's page/category organization methods, and thought that instead of having the default sortable as what the article is about, we should have it as the province in which it occurs. Did that make any sense? What I basically mean is that instead of Armor/Morrowind and Category:Males/Cyrodiil, we have Morrowind/Armor and Cyrodiil/Males. The advantages would be that the entire wiki would be built sort of like a big tree, if you see what I mean, which would make getting around more easy. The disadvantage would be that someone will have to go through all the pages and re-categorize, re-name, all of them, and then you, or me when I get the rights, will have to do a lot of deleting. So what do you think? - Game LordTalk 10:29, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

More and more
More updates (Hope you're not getting tired of this),

I've written a new table class, "standardtable" or just "standard", which you can now use when making tables. Below you can see the result.

Conflicts
KAJ, I've finished the Oblivion Crisis! Thanks for all your help on that front. I now plan to move on to the Mages Guild and Knights of the Nine. Do you have any ideas as to what these conflicts should be called? I've labeled them Mages Guild-Necromancer Conflict and Auroran Crisis so far, but if there are canon names I'm not aware of, or just something else they're being called on the wiki or elsewhere, I'll use those instead. Thanks again!GR Groe 04:01, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Seyda Neen people
Hi KAJ, I just wanted to say sorry about making all people in Seyda Neen be Imperials, I was simply copying/pasting the empty template, and forgot to change it. - Game LordTalk 23:50, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Infoboxes
Hi KAJ,

About the NPCm infoboxes. I have two things I was wondering about. The first is: If we have a "race" parameter in the template, why do we have seperate template for the races? The color commands could easily be controlled by the "race" param, not by the template name. Second: Is eye and hair color really nescessary? Aren't infos like Health, or various skill levels more useful to the reader? - Game LordTalk 18:25, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok, I'd go with the real-world perspective, but as for categorization, well the code would be simple:


 * The other thing is that say we want to add something to the NPC pages, then the easiest way is to add it to the infobox, but although 10 is a lot less than every article, 1 is a lot less than 10, and like I said, I can't see any downsides of merging them into 1. - Game LordTalk 20:15, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Canonicity
KAJ, I was wondering, for the Mages Guild conflict, should I label the Guild champion as the Hero of Kvatch or just "the champion"? In the game, the answer is obviously Hero of Kvatch, but in the game world, I think it's only sure that the Hero did the Main Quest, KotN, and SI. Let me know if I'm wrong, or what you think the player should be called for the Mages Guild. ThanksGR Groe 06:01, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Welcome message
Hi KAJ, about your welcome message. Firstly, you can add the message by simply opening Elder Scrolls:Messages, typing in the user's name, and hitting "Send Message". Secondly, isn't the message a bit too big? It's instantly obvious that the message is automated, which for a start makes it seem less like a friendly "Hi". Also it's a bit annoying for any user to have that huge thing at the top of their userpage. I already had another message written which you can see here. - Game LordTalk 15:43, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Bureaucratship
Hi. I think there needs to be a requests for adminship page first. All that bureaucrats can do is turn other users into admins as long as there is community consensus for that, and a requests page is the best place to see which users everyone agrees should be an admin. Angela (talk) 17:30, 25 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Game Lord just told me that Elder Scrolls:Administrators exists, so that's a good place to apply for bureaucratship as well. Angela (talk) 13:35, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Copyright Violations
KAJ, I need to alert you to this and this. As I'm sure you're aware, copying material without credit is clearly unacceptable. I'm sure you don't condone these activities but it reflects badly on your site when it happens. rpeh 14:03, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

He already deleted them but i uploaded them again and gave usep full credit for them

To see the credit all you have to do is click on the image and scroll down to the bottom

Logo
It's great, but that K seems too much that it has been taken from the I and V from the Oblivion logo. Would you mind that I squash it slightly so it looks more natural? Even more, I can also upload you the Spanish version favicon.ico image. See you -- 19:00, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Done ;) -- 19:35, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
