I would just go with:


 * Letter from  (Thanks)
 * Letter from  (Reward)

it's the only ones that makes sense really. What do you think? Jimeee (talk) 13:37, April 1, 2013 (UTC)

Birds nest
It's not really a container are you can only take items out of it - not store them in. That sections should go on some other page I think. Jimeee (talk) 14:15, April 1, 2013 (UTC)

Haskill ID
Hey Kenny,

Are you sure the Spell ID for Summon Haskill is 00019867? My main question is about the first two digits: generally, I thought they started with xx (replaced by real numbers, of course) if the spell/character/whatever is from a DLC. I thought that the prefix "00" was reserved for the base game. Just checking to make sure on that ;) Kroq-gar78 (talk) 00:03, April 3, 2013 (UTC)

Hi
Hi! i didn't expect fo someone to notice so fast that i made a edit! i'll sing up and help out if  i can!

Re: Neloth
Thanks. It was hard work! I'm betting its the most detailed character page we have - if only they were all like this :p

Re: Captain Metilius
If you have access to the Creation Kit and you look up his base ID 0001C9F7 tab over to "AI Packages" it shows that he has schedules for what to do when in Castle Dour and also to appear in Castle Dour when the quest MQ103 (Bleak Falls Barrow) is active. So, there is data of him in the CK, but when he is spawned it's not with a unique RefID, so when he appears, it is merely a copy of him. That could be why your friend couldn't find him. Whether he disappears after To Kill an Empire is complete, I don't know. I would have to check in my own game. But if he appears in the game at all without console command intervention, then he cannot be called an "Unused NPC". — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  20:47, April 4, 2013 (UTC)

Idesa Sadri
Hi Kenny, when I took that image of her I placed the Dragonborn to the right of her instead of right in front of her, so she turned her head I quess to look. That's why it looks like she is leaning to the right.. :) :) EbonySkyrim (talk) 08:07, April 5, 2013 (UTC)

Leads
Hi. If you are doing mass removal of the game from the lead, it's probably a good idea to pad the lead out while you are at it.

For example "Prelate Edhelbor is a Snow Elf." is a poor lead. I suggest moving the location of where they are found or what faction they are part on into the lead - like: "Prelate Edhelbor is a Snow Elf who be found at the Wayshrine of Radiance in the Forgotten Vale"

Erik
Hello admin.

Please please please stop user Erik The Mad from undoing everybodies damn posts!!...we all try and contribute to the TESWiki best we can only for a control freak with no life to go undoing our work and wasting our little dedictated time, and not just mine but everybodies, look at the amount of pointless edits Erik The Mad has made in the last hour alone??

Nothing but a menace, whats the point of adding and updating this wiki if control freaks like him undo all our work??

Doubt you will listen, but thank you anyway.


 * Hello,


 * I'm going to post here since nobody really checks the non-account talk pages. His edits you undid which were subsequently undid by him were correct. There is a policy on the Wiki where we remove the game name from articles - in particular, character articles. Furthermore, the content on the Wiki is under the Creative Commons license, which means that it can be edited or distributed without any contributor's consent. Thus, it is said here that do not contribute to the Wiki if you are scared of having your edits ruthlessly and unmercifully edited and changed, which is exactly what is happening here. I will look into Erik's non-lead-related edits for the time being. Kroq-gar78 (talk) 19:45, April 15, 2013 (UTC)
 * This ^ I'm very sorry but since we are a wikia, and everybody can edit freely, you're changes can be undone/editted further. This is the way a Wikia or a Wiki works. As far as i know, Erik The Mad hasn't done anything against the rules. I hope this and Kroq's explanation cleared things up for you.


 * Ps. thanks for answering Kroq! 19:51, April 15, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi thx for replying, yeah was bit annoyed yesterday. So policy is to remove the 'game name from articles' i cant understand that completely, as i did not mention anything apart from - that taaries body ends up in the hall of dead in solitude? to be honest this may need to be placed under 'trivia' instead of 'bugs' but it was a branch off the 'bug' if you like, so instead of just removing peoples work, eric could have just being more constructive and placed things where they belong, or if it mentions something that shouldnt be mentioned then instead of just undoing everyones dedicated work they should edit it so it complies with wiki's rules? its just total lack of constructiveness on eriks part...really annoying, but as you say, anyone can edit.... thx for replys, if anyone gets to read this, i undid one of my edits again on the taarie page, so if someone could correct what i may have done wrong..instead of just deleting everything, that would be great. cheers guys.


 * I had also a case, I didn't remember what it was, but I think it was on Mammoth or something. I didn't care though.

why the rollback on Retrieve the Ancient Nordic Pickaxe
Hi,

Why you think the content added on 17:20, April 20, 2013 over Retrieve the Ancient Nordic Pickaxe doesn't belong to the topic?

The section I added is a comment on why player should consider not to complete this quest. From what I understand, this counts as walkthrough.

If it doesn't belong here, then where should I put it?

Shilka (talk) 11:23, April 27, 2013 (UTC)
 * Well Shilka, in my opinion, why i felt like it was not the place to mention this, is because its a walkthrough to complete the quest. Since your suggestion included not completing the quest, it shouldn't be named under walkthrough. If you really think its worth mentioning, of which i don't, you can place it under a "trivia" section. Not as part of the walkthrough. 19:42, April 27, 2013 (UTC)


 * Ok I agree that it could be listed under "trivia". But since one can always complete a mission later if you decide not to complete it now, but you can't undo a completed mission, I think it is necessary to inform/warn player before they saw the guide on how to complete it. And since burden is very important, and some if not many people would consider carrying a pickaxe at all time to deal with random ore vein is a good idea, I would consider the advice on not to complete the quest very important. .Shilka (talk) 15:22, April 28, 2013 (UTC)
 * Well then you can add it under a trivia section. 15:57, April 28, 2013 (UTC)

Image Requests
Hey Kenny it's no problem. Been very busy and haven't had much of a chance to contribute the past few months. I can probably provide requests as necessary now.

I noticed the others had been lingering for several weeks. Glad you liked them. Had been saving the Festus images incase you wanted a different angle or more/less background.

17:24, April 30, 2013 (UTC)

Scholars
Yeah, that is another category that doesn't add anything. I have noticed Chairmanprescott6179 has been inventing several of these categories - like Skyrim: Artifacts, which is basically the same as Skyrim: Unique Weapons and armor. I'm not online often these days, so someone needs to keep an eye on this. Jimeee (talk) 11:21, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Morrowind question
Hello, I think I remember your user name from Dragon Age Wiki, did you ever contribute there?

Chameleon is tricky, because it is a spell effect, a spell, and an ability. If you're looking only for the spell itself, in the Construction Set:
 * 1) Go to the Spellmaking tab
 * 2) Scroll down to Chameleon - Spell
 * 3) Right-click
 * 4) Select Info.

You'll see the ID codes of everyone who has the Chameleon spell. It won't be a long list, because a lot of people use variants that include a Chameleon effect.

That's the easy part -- Figuring out everyone who uses Chameleon is tricky and/or tedious, unless you happen to know the names of all the various spells that have a Chameleon effect. That's where a major shortcoming of the CS arises: as far as I know, there's no way to get a list of all the spells that use a particular effect. If you browse through the spell names sometimes you can guess at what it might do. In this case, any spell containing the word "shadow" is a good bet, and possibly other spells containing the word "eye" or "hide." But I only know that from experience, and there's probably a lot that I wouldn't be able to find immediately.

Outside the Construction Set, other possible means of finding spells with a particular effect: 1- The MW spells article, but it is very incomplete. When it gets finished it will be a great resource. 2- Go to the disambig page and see the list of "what links here". 3- uesp lists only the spells that are available for purchase by the player, which is very incomplete and not particularly useful. 4- Carefully formulated Google searches can sometimes help. 18:57, May 22, 2013 (UTC)

Riekling Page
Shouldn't this page be moved to Riekling (Morrowind) and this page made a disambiguation page, now that Dragonborn is released? Wolfishtail (talk) 18:47, May 25, 2013 (UTC)
 * You are correct and i've corrected that. Thanks for noting! 20:31, May 25, 2013 (UTC)

Re: The Skaal Test of Loyalty
My opinion would then be that it should simply say just that: the quest consists of completing six other quests, so look at those pages for the walkthroughs. The Test of Loyalty page, I would think, should only have the information uniquely relevant to that quest - something like 1) talk to guy, 2) do other quest, 3) talk to guy again - and leave out the list of every step taken in every other quest on the way. Anything else is redundant, and we avoid that in every other case. A 30-step list is by no means "quick," and it's ugly to look at and a pain to use.--LeDaea (talk) 14:59, May 26, 2013 (UTC)

Permission to edit
Hello there sir, sorry to bother you i would like to make a request: Would you please give me access to edit the special protected pages? like Harkon and Dragonborn's since you are a admin of the wikia. Tesshu (talk) 16:05, May 26, 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry but i can't give you these rights. The page Harkon is protected so only Admins can edit that page, because its a high traffic page. So you won't be able to edit that one. If you see something that should be changed, you could always post it on the talk page or on an admin's page. But you can't edit that one yourself.


 * Dragonborn is a different scenario: it is protected so that only regular users or staff can edit that page. So users that are not logged in, or that are recently created (as in less than 100 edits if i'm correct) like you, are not able to edit the page. So over time, you will automaticly be able to edit the page Dragonborn, but not the page Harkon. I hope its all clear to you know. 16:19, May 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the reply, i understand the reason you can't give me the rights to edit. Tesshu (talk) 16:24, May 26, 2013 (UTC)

User Boxes?
Hey, sorry if I am bothering you, but I have a question about userboxes. Are they only for certain-ranking people, or would I be able to add some to my page? I just thought they might be useful for collaboration and letting people know what I mainly edit. I just wasn't sure if I was permitted to add any to my profile.

TheInfamousLyingHarlot (talk) 20:48, June 3, 2013 (UTC)
 * Hey TILH, everyone is permitted to have userboxes on their user page. They're not restricted to any kind of user :) 20:53, June 3, 2013 (UTC)


 * Cool! Thank you for replying so fast! :)

Game in Lead
Hi Kenny, 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. I asked as one member seem to remove it on all articles now and then. There isn't an a agreed standard on which non-character articles it should be removed. He suggested that you, Kroq and Tomb 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)

The Elder Scrolls Wiki:Vandalism in progress
I'm not sure how it worked before, but the code is still on the VIP page (QuickCVUAdder), but it's not functional. I have no idea how it works or why it stopped working, but it's been down for a long time now, so people wanting to report vandalism would have to manually edit the "Reports" section and add in the IP address and page via the template. I had sent Sactage a message about the CVU form not functioning a long time ago, since he set it up, but he never responded. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  17:49, June 17, 2013 (UTC)


 * Instead of waiting around any longer for a fix to the CVU form, I just updated the method for reporting. Reporting is just going to have to be done manually. :) — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  18:09, June 17, 2013 (UTC)

vandalism
There is a user vandlising the wiki mostly the falmer section. Crazy131 (talk) 15:38, June 18, 2013 (UTC)
 * Which user/which pages? 16:43, June 18, 2013 (UTC)
 * I see the problems are already handled by a fellow admin. 16:45, June 18, 2013 (UTC)

Shout - learn about word wall
Despite this being the creation kit name, it's a poor quest name and not really grammatical correct (Learn about the Word Wall). I'd pick something more descriptive. "Words of Power" or something.

Also, note that this particular page was a misc objective not given by Arngeir - Because of this it should probably be treated as a seperate quest as it is not one gained from him.

Jimeee (talk) 16:20, July 16, 2013 (UTC)


 * In regards to the page named Shout - learn about word wall, I think a better name for that page would be "Find the Source of Power", since all of those radiant quests given by the courier begin with that naming convention. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  18:10, July 21, 2013 (UTC)
 * I agree. I'll rename it. 18:15, July 21, 2013 (UTC)

Photo upload
Ok, so heres the deal. I clicked "add a photo to this wiki", "upload a file", selected a photo from my gallery then clicked "upload". Underneath where it says "select file", it says "permission error" in small red letters. What do you make of this?Fortune Payback (talk) 19:34, July 17, 2013 (UTC)FortunePayback
 * Weird. I personally don't get that message. Could I ask, which internet browser are you using? Could you try the multiple upload form for me to see if it gives the same message (just use it for one image, don't have to fill all the area's)? I never heard of this problem before. 19:39, July 17, 2013 (UTC)
 * I am using google. I have made an attempt at using the multiple file upload and this time it mentions that this is an error. It mentions that I am making a copy of another photo as well as mentioning it to be too small of a file (200px). Does it matter thar I am using a mobile device?Fortune Payback (talk) 20:20, July 17, 2013 (UTC)FortunePayback
 * As far as I know that shouldn't be a problem. I will download Chrome to see if I get the same error message. I can't test if its the mobile device though, since I don't have one ^^. I will report back to you if I know more! 20:47, July 17, 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks. In the meantime, I will attempt to contact wikia staff directly. Peace.Fortune Payback (talk) 20:53, July 17, 2013 (UTC)FortunePayback
 * I've tried it in Chrome and I don't have any problems uploading photo's. So its not the browser. Have you tried uploading from a computer instead of a mobile device? Maybe that's the problem then. 09:19, July 18, 2013 (UTC)
 * I will try this out, next time I get the chance. Thanks for the help.That's not a tool, that's a damn brick. 13:15, July 18, 2013 (UTC)FortunePayback

Re Pictures
Hi Kenny, first... just call me Ebony :) About the images. Also first: I'm not sure it's possible to extract the png files from the game as one can do in other games to get just the garment and items with transparent background. That is possible in the game "The Sims" for example. I have no idea how Zimakaru did or if he just had a high resolution when he got the images he have uploaded. I have a 1920x1080 resolution on my screen.

So yes, take a screen ingame and then you have to use a graphics program that can handle layers, such as Photoshop. I'm using Corel Paint Shop Pro as I have had it for years and years. Then you have to remove everything around, in the end pixel for pixel.. after a while it's not so hard :) and save as .png. After I have removed all I check and add a layer with red so I can spot if I've forgotten a pixel. EbonySkyrim (talk) 09:10, July 19, 2013 (UTC)
 * It's the toggle commands tai to freeze the characters and tfc for free the camera. You hit the key first that is above the tab key.. It's been a while since I played Skyrim so I had to look at the console command page. ;) you might have to try a few times to get the carachter in the right pose, in Oblivion they just stand straight up, in Skyrim I can't really remember now. Try it out.. EbonySkyrim (talk) 09:22, July 19, 2013 (UTC)
 * Adding, maybe you have seen. We have the size 600x1000px or 600x1080px on the character images.. EbonySkyrim (talk) 09:25, July 19, 2013 (UTC)
 * You don't have to wait for him, do a save in the game and then use the console commands to get him. That's what I do when I can't find the characterand when I'm finished I just go back to the last save. :) I'm going away for a few days but I'm coming here everyday (as I'm soon getting the akatosh badge, don't want to miss it) so if there is anything else.... EbonySkyrim (talk) 20:20, July 19, 2013 (UTC)
 * Not bad, but there is a fine white line at the top. Can you get rid of that? It is also a little bit dark but that depens on the screen. My laptop screen is a bit darker than my stationary computer. :) EbonySkyrim (talk) 15:32, July 21, 2013 (UTC)

RE: Comment
Thanks for deleting the comment. I'd continually tried to edit my previous comment but to no avail.

Box on the top of your talk page
Hey, Kenny. I wanted to know the format on the creation of the gray box on the top your talk page and how you put it above the little contents box on the side. I want to use it on my own page. If it is easier, send me a link to a page that shows how. I have not been able to find it. Thanks.FortunePayback (talk) 22:27, August 26, 2013 (UTC)FortunePayback

Kenny, the Fate section of Ulfric's page is wrong.
On ulfric's page it says he regrets the civil war because it made Skyrim weaker and the Thalmor stronger, this is wrong. All he regrets is the poor timing for the civil war, as it coensided with Alduin's return, giving him an all you can eat buffet in Sovrngard. Someone needs to fix this, i cannot as the page is locked from edit, its misinformation. I already said this on the Talk Page, i also put a direct quote on the Talk Page if you want to read it for your self. Harold Burned-Mane (talk) 18:11, September 15, 2013 (UTC)Harold Burned-Mane.
 * I'll take a look at it! 18:20, September 15, 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks Kenny, it was really bugging me that there was misinformation in the Wiki page. Also if you ever have time you could read my "The Truth about Ulfric Stomcloak" blog, there i refute many evidence against claims like "Ulfric is racist" or "Ulfric is Power hungry".

Vlastarus
Before I get into an unecessary edit war, I wanted to ask an Admin the following: on the Vlastarus (Online) page, the town of Vlastarus is listed as appearing in both Oblivion and in TES: O. I removed Oblivion from the appearance section since there is no town called Vlastarus in Oblivion. There's a Fort, but not a town. User MHInfinite undid my edit saying that the town appears in both. Should the Oblivion appearance be removed or left? DRAEVAN13 19:36, September 23, 2013 (UTC)
 * Well, since it already was a ruin in Oblivion, its a small change that it will be the same in Online. So say, delete the template since there's no evidence yet that the small ruin in Oblivion, is the same as the town in Online. 09:10, September 24, 2013 (UTC)

Biography of Barenziah.
I just quickly checked the first one. At least in Morrowind, it refered to it as "Rifton", not "Riften". Dont know about the later books, though. Should we have a "(sic)" thingy there then? Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 20:46, October 8, 2013 (UTC)
 * Ow, I'm sorry. Yes, we should. Just so that people don't make the same mistake as I did. But it should still link to Riften, not Rifton ;) 21:21, October 8, 2013 (UTC)
 * Don't be sorry. I would have thought it was a typo, too, if I didnt remember reading the typo in the books in the first place. (Or rather, if I hadnt typed them out from the Morrowind CS in the first place lol). Also, apparently someone was annoyed that you deleted their file.
