Hooray!
I can see my messages again! lol.

Um ... yeah, theres not much that needs to be done. I have the code that the COD wiki's using for their little blackout. As far as I know, they're going on blackout in just under an hour. :) Other than correcting me if that is wrong, theres not much to be done? (Also, as an aside, we might finally have zero wanted pages at daychange tomorrow :P Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work•Skyrim To-Do List 23:08, January 17, 2012 (UTC)


 * IRC: Kaishiro expanded the page a little while ago to give more information about what it was. The link is in the top line :) Also, when you get online, speak to Kaishiro - theres a link he has to the full x-chat version (that doesnt expire) Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work•Skyrim To-Do List 02:58, January 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * Try that Dont know if it will work or not, but its worth a shot? (The link at the top of the IRC page works for me, thats what I got :) Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work•Skyrim To-Do List 03:08, January 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * If THAT doesnt work, go to |The Switch website, and where it says "join chatroom", do that. Then, once you're in, type /join #TESWiki and you're in :) (they're both on the Xertion network) Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work•Skyrim To-Do List 03:10, January 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, the problem is at your end (I've tried a number of different combinations, and they all work fine from here - ive got a few others to do the same). Er - clear your cache, maybe? I'm unsure why its not working :( Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work•Skyrim To-Do List 03:31, January 19, 2012 (UTC)

Residual Blackout
I assume the Sopa blackout is officially over because some pages are viewable again. That said, after clearing my cache, I'm still seeing lots of residual black pages. Examples include this one, this one, and this one. I don't know if this is a sitewide issue, or an issue with my computer, but I though I would let you know. 69.134.29.102 22:37, January 19, 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm very sorry to hear you're still experiencing after-effects of the blackout. Yesterday, I was unable to edit certain pages, as they were still black. Currently, I can view and edit all of the pages you linked to. I would try clearing your cache again, maybe updating your browser, then restarting your computer. This seemed to resolve my issue. Hope this helps. --— Deyvid Petteys  (bother \   stalk)   22:42, January 19, 2012 (UTC)

Ban
I kinda wanted to clear the air a bit on my ban regarding Ancano. I'm very new to these Elder Scrolls wiki sites, any wiki site for that matter, and to be honest there wasn't a whole lot of thinking going on at the time of my post (other than that some might really get a kick out of this because of Ancano's irritating personality). I'm so used to sites like Reddit, where I don't have to worry about things being innapropriate.

It wasn't until i logged on to add a photo of Gissur and saw my ban that I really stopped to think about the different genders and age groups logging onto this site everyday. And I know it could have gone without saying that I have learned my lesson from all this, but I figured coming on here and brown nosing would go a lot further. That's if I'm doing this right (I'm not used to sites wtihout inboxes and what not). So that's my apalogy, take it how you may. If this doesn't suffice then hopefully my full days work of (proper) page editing will.

Book Categories
Hey Deyvid, I've been uploading a lot of books, letters, and notes lately. While categorising them, I've noticed that we have some book categories that have few or no pages on them except for the template messages page (such as Book Covers). If nobody has any objections, I'm going to mark these categories for deletion. There is also an unofficial category for Book Characters (characters who are only present in story form within a book). Two of the four pages listed have a decent amount of information on them. Do we want to maintain this category? If not, would you suggest that the category for these pages be changed to Characters? Finally, as you know, the primary categories for books are: Books, Book Images, Skyrim: Books, and Category:Skyrim: Books Images. There is also an unofficial Skyrim: Book Images category. To be consistent, I would like to see the unofficial category become the official one if you have no objection. I can make all the page changes. Let me know if that's ok, and I will go about making the changes to all the pages that refer to Skyrim: Books Images. Thanks, GramsJ (talk) 19:32, January 21, 2012 (UTC)


 * Can I talk you into letting me officially create, format, and categorize the Skyrim: Book Images category page? I would be more than willing to do that and transfer the 79 images from the Category:Skyrim: Books Images category. ( :D Just think how it would help add to my edit count.) Then the category wouldn't be a double plural and would then be consistent with the Book Images category. The only thing that would be left for you to do (I think) is delete Category:Skyrim: Books Images. Pleeez? GramsJ (talk) 21:21, January 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Deyvid. I apologize for being such a pest. I didn't mean for you to do it. GramsJ (talk) 21:42, January 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * I can do that. Oh...and I'll stop putting images in that category, too. (tehee) GramsJ (talk) 21:52, January 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * P.S. Could you give me a quick tutorial on categories/subcategories? If an image is categorized as Character Images, for example, would Images also be included in the category list? I was wondering, because if it is, then doesn't the image show up on both category pages?  If not, then does that mean I should remove the category Images from all of the images that I categorize? Thanks GramsJ (talk) 01:19, January 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * All images are automatically added to Category:Images based on their copyright license templates. Not sure about that right now. I'll have to ask some of the other "powers that be" on the wiki first to confirm. It's an excellent question, though. (I'm removing the links to old Books category, so they don't show up in Special:WantedPages). --— Deyvid Petteys  (bother \   stalk)   01:32, January 22, 2012 (UTC)

Double Question
First, what is the differance between Template:Delete and Delete besides one being long to type. They both look ugly on my screen and if a reason was given, unreadable. I was in Visual edit, clicked the add other templates, entered delete, selected the offered Template:Delete, I do notice adding a template in visual usually puts the Template: part in automatically when switching to source mode. But my understanding is the are the same thing, just doing Delete is a shortcut in source mode. Just curious, and would applaud the person fixes the delete template to a differant background color.

Second, Is there a specific reason you moved the Potion/Poison Recipe to a sub of potions and listed as poisons, when its a book page listing all the recipes (books) from the in game inventory, not a list of all possible combinations at the Alchemy Lab. Been fighting to keep it a book page and not a potion page, which is why I got Timeoin to protect the page today and spent 3 hours fixing it. Neguy71inok (talk) 23:27, January 21, 2012 (UTC)

Sorry :(
Hey Deyvid, recently I've been banned for distruptive badge-gaming activity. My user name is Smike05. I wasn't aware that badge-gaming was against the forum rules. If I would have received a warning, I would have stopped immediately. Is it possible to revert the ban, please? I love posting on this Wikia and I'm sincerely sorry. Thanks.

"Behind the scenes" vs. "Notes"
Hello there, I just wanted to state my reasoning, after reading the Manual of Syle, on why the "Behind the scenes" section in the Lydia page should in fact be titled "Notes." Link. AmbigramMan (talk) 07:52, January 22, 2012 (UTC)

Colours and patrollers
Hey Deyvid - Got colours working again! :)

Also promoted some patrollers, and need to talk to you about some stuff; Come to IRC if you have the time. Elchzard (Talk to me.) 22:04, January 22, 2012 (UTC)

Patroller
Yeah sure, I can do that. I usually check the recent changes pages anyway and try to clean up stuff, so that's fine with me. Thanks!

 * Okay, I'll add you to the list and grant you rollback powers, along with a sexy name. :) Elchzard  (Talk to me.) 09:57, January 23, 2012 (UTC)

Patroller #2
I'd love to be a patroller! I'm always looking out for potential vandalism and this sound like a great job for me. Kennyannydenny (talk) 09:47, January 23, 2012 (UTC)
