Disambig pages
Hi, I was wondering what has changed regarding disambig pages (I've been gone for a while). I saw you saying that disambig pages with only 2 links shouldn't be made. I think they should exist, since otherwise people may not be able to get the correct page (ie Cows in Daggerfall vs Cows in Skyrim), plus that's what this and other wikis have been doing for a while. I guess that's kinda minor though. Are there any other policy changes regarding those sorts of things? I ask since I fix a lot of disambig links and I plan on being more active here. --Shockstorm (talk) 00:44, September 22, 2014 (UTC)

Stubs
Hey Ghost, I'd like to inform you that with the BaseID's added there hardly is anything more to say in Farmer (Skyrim) and Peddler, except for the pictures of course, thus the "Stub" template is unnecessary. Should I remove it? Serve Akatosh or serve no one. (talk) 17:59, September 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * It MAY look empty, but we can't help it. Stats are unnecessary, most of info about their skills that readers need to know is in NPC Classes (Skyrim) and lack of Ref IDs is not a reason to keep the stub. Serve Akatosh or serve no one. (talk) 18:25, September 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * No. Stats are not only unnecessary, most of pages found on the Follower (Skyrim) are lacking them. Also, do you like the Farmer (Skyrim) now? Serve Akatosh or serve no one. (talk) 18:57, September 22, 2014 (UTC)

Nomination
I think you should post on the Nominations and Re-voting thread that there is a new nomination, as I don't think people noticed that I was nominated. I personally don't think 3 votes should be enough to get someone a moderator position, as that is hardly a community consensus. 20:33, September 23, 2014 (UTC)

Deletion of photos
Hey, Ghost.

I just came here to ask why you removed two of my pictures from my forum post. It was my proof that the glitch happened to me.

2920
I feel I have had this explained to be several times, but I have his a book series that has given me enough pause and doubt to ask one more time what I should do.

the 2920 book series is a twelve part collection, most of them being skill books. there is a collection of books on elder scrolls online that breaks the 12 books into 22-24 books (by UESP's count, we only have 15 listed on the online books list.

By what you and tomb told me, I should mark the images, move on. But that leaves around 20 books that would not get articles, and it maybe because I am tired, but my mind is unable to come up with a logical option for how to handle this doubled in size collection. I am unsure how identical they are, really dont want to read the whole collection twice to figure out if they altered any words.

I am sorry to ask what feels like the same question again, but this instance is larger then one or two books being split, and I would hate to mess this up.-Cheatcodechamp (talk) 05:52, September 26, 2014 (UTC)


 * EDIT:I forgot to mention that at least one of the twenty something books are a skill book, but odds are there are a few others that are as well-Cheatcodechamp (talk) 05:54, September 26, 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know and bringing me more up to speed. I wish there was a way to work things out so more people where OK. I know that there is nothing we can do to please everybody, but that doesn't mean we can't look for a middle for everybody else.

RP board
I have noticed that lately the Forums are getting hard to track and manage, mainly because of the RP board clogging up the recent activity board. Also I get the feeling that some users may be contributing to the RP board so they can get a couple of badges and inflat their edits. So I was thinking, can't we disable the feed for the RP board and make posts on it not contribute to edits? I don't love the RP board to be honest but I don't think it should be scrapped because of a few bad apples. Oh and while I remember congrates on becoming a admin and good luck :) Zu&#39;u lost daal.

Forum tools
Hey Anubis, I have a question about my Forum mod tools. So far I didn't notice any new tool that I gained after becoming a forum mod, I can still only use same the same tools I used as a regular user. It was to my understanding that the Forum Mods had gained a new tools to aid them at their job. 00:32, September 29, 2014 (UTC)


 * I saw the User Group Rights page before but I didn't understand what those rights meant. When I click on the thread it still just says "remove" like it did before I was a mod. I assume that it is still called remove but it does as you say close the thread and only staff members can reopen it. 01:06, September 29, 2014 (UTC)


 * Yeah I did it on the original post and all I have is: move, remove and history. It might be because of me not being in the rollback user group, but I'm not sure. 01:31, September 29, 2014 (UTC)


 * Will do, when she grants the rollback flag I will see if I have all the tools and tell you. 01:44, September 29, 2014 (UTC)


 * Ebony granted me the Rollback flag. I got the edit posts tool, but I still don't have the close this thread tool. Am I still missing a flag that the other Forum moderators have? 12:08, September 29, 2014 (UTC)

A little talk ?
Can you come in the chat ? Emperor Jarjarkine   Senate Hall  01:55, October 1, 2014 (UTC)

Votes
Anubis, I was thinking. Since the Compromise needs to get more Yes votes than there are Oppose or Support votes then maybe we should have people that voted Yes remove their Oppose or Support vote. Since those two are the "All or nothing" approach and those that voted Yes want a compromise. So if they have an Oppose and a Yes vote it would be contradictory. Same goes for the Support and Yes. Only those that voted No should keep their Support/Oppose votes. At least that is what I think. 16:16, October 3, 2014 (UTC)


 * We could just ask that everyone that voted Yes either change their Support/Oppose vote to neutral or remove it entirely. Since you agree I am going to do that now. I would also ask that you help spread the word about the Compromise to everyone so they can vote on it, be it Yes or No. Maybe talk to everyone on the chat and ask that they spread it around. That way everyone can hear about it, which I don't think everyone did. 18:58, October 3, 2014 (UTC)


 * Just posted on the thread asking the 'Yes' voters to change or remove their previous vote. 19:18, October 3, 2014 (UTC)

Forum Spam
Hey Anubis, we kind of have a problem. User:Rokystudent created a spam thread and I removed it. However another user: User:Raghushah; restored the thread and did something to the page turning to all white with only the link to some random online movie site showing up. I cannot remove it because of that. Can you do something? Also, I think those two users may be the same person, since they both only have one edit which is on the spam thread. 11:57, October 4, 2014 (UTC)
 * I've reported it to VSTF, Ghost. EbonySkyrim   Message!  16:58, October 4, 2014 (UTC)

HC Vote
I have a question about the Hub Compromise vote. Does its Support votes need to surpass the Oppose votes from the 'Moving the RP Board' thread? 19:34, October 4, 2014 (UTC)


 * We can always change the vote ourselves. We now know exactly who is Supporting the HC, unlike on the poll. So we can change their previous vote on the Moving thread to Neutral, so we can get an accurate updated vote count on the Moving thread. 19:58, October 4, 2014 (UTC)


 * I agree, I will do that now. 20:05, October 4, 2014 (UTC)

MOTM page update and Bloodmoon
First off, thanks for the compliment on my hardwork, I've been gaming hard lately on Bloodmoon to get all that info, more to come. I'm planning on creating a page for every single article on Bloodmoon we currently don't have. I've also been working on daggerfall for a while, but finally get to adding all of the ingredient pages, but Bloodmoon might be my main priority for the time being. When I get the time I'll do Tribunal, but that's a long way from now.

Second on the Bereditte Jastal thing, didn't know you could actually do that. Thanks for pointing that out, as you can see the page has now been created with full info.

Now, the main reason I'm leaving a message. As you may see the Member of the Month page has outdated info. Some things I've noticed:

Guidelines:

 * 1) Members of the month must be registered:
 * 2) *This one is obvious, completely fine.
 * 3) Nominees must be active.
 * 4) *Same case as above
 * 5) Anyone nominated must have a minimum of 30 contributions.
 * 6) *At current standard this is low. 30 edits? You can see the flaws immediately. Needs to be increased. I don't know how much, that's for the admin team to decide.
 * 7) Admins cannot be nominated.
 * 8) *You are the MOTM of September. So, I guess this one is invalid.
 * 9) Candidates must be respectful and polite to the community
 * 10) *This one is fine

Other errors
It says the award has been temporarily discontinued. From what can be seen, the award is now alive (or brought back from the dead, whichever way you see it) and well and is still continued on. The nominations page is back on track too, so the whole "Past Members of the Month" thing needs to be edited and updated with current info

I suppose that's all for now. Have a nice day (or night, I don't know) and discuss with Ebony and the other admins what to do with the MOTM page if you have to. Thank you in advance.

☞ Яǐɱ ( Chat with Meh ) ( Updates ) 07:04, October 6, 2014 (UTC)
 * Made the necessary changes on the page, added months to the end of december. Can agree that the 30 contributions are really low, at least 500 I think but I haven't changed it yet. Rim, Ghost was a patroller when he was nominated, then I added him before I promoted him to admin. EbonySkyrim   Message!  14:32, October 6, 2014 (UTC)
 * Ah, so Ghost was a Patroller during the time, I see. As for the 500 contributions, do you mean that in the sense of a total or the sense of the number of edits during the month? Also, instead of August 2013 onwards (which is incorrect) it should be August 2013 - August 2014 award temporarily retired.
 * ☞ Яǐɱ ( Chat with Meh ) ( Updates ) 16:47, October 6, 2014 (UTC)
 * Fixed that, and yeah, it was a fast move for Ghost. So for him to get the MOTM before the admin voting where closed, we made an exception this time and moved faster. EbonySkyrim   Message!  18:13, October 6, 2014 (UTC)

Book changes
Hey, sorry to interrupt your edits, just wanted to know if we want to remove the "this book is found in this game" from all books, or only ones from online?

ESO Authors
Hey,

I am planing on updating the Authors (Online) to looks like the Authors page. Before I do however I wanted to ask if we had any intention of merging the two. I would hate to spend half the night working on filling up a template only to have it all moved.-Cheatcodechamp (talk) 23:43, October 8, 2014 (UTC)


 * Ok, I will start merging the online authors into the authors list. While I am doing that, what should I do with notes and journals? I noticed we dont have them listed in authors. Should I just ignore them unless relevant to something to the larger aspect of the game?-Cheatcodechamp (talk) 01:34, October 9, 2014 (UTC)


 * There are a few notes that are importnat that are written by authors, I will add those. And speaking of ESO editiors, I spoke to a girl on youtube some time ago who has video walkthrough. I am pretty sure she would let us use her video's as image sources as long as we gave her credit as the source. I did something like this before when we needed images for the roads in Oblivion, and this would be a lot more useful then a map. If we want to do this, I would be happy to work as a middle man between us and her.Cheatcodechamp (talk) 02:10, October 9, 2014 (UTC)

New rp threads
Howdy. I was checking some of the new rp threads to see how the compromise was working now that it's passed. One thing I noticed is that the new ones using the hub method are getting buried on the forum by those that are still active here. I was wondering, can you sticky forum threads to the top of the forum on the new style forums you guys use? I don't have much experience with the new forums. If that's possible, I wonder if stickying the ones using the hub method would be a good idea to keep them visible so they don't get lost? If it is possible, do we ask the BCs if it's ok to do?  The Gunny   02:44, October 13, 2014 (UTC)
 * Scratch the above. I turned on the new forums on one of my wikis to see and you can't. You can highlight, but that doesn't move the thread to the top of the forum, just sends the annoying notification. Perhaps a new forum section? Ideas? The Gunny   02:53, October 13, 2014 (UTC)
 * I was thinking that eventually the rp board might be renamed to the the RP hub or some such. Perhaps you could create a new forum with that name to hold the new rps and when the last rp in the old forum goes dark, archive it? The Gunny   20:04, October 14, 2014 (UTC)

Depends on how good a player they are ;) Nah - you're probably right.
