WhatLinksHere option
I was thinking this could be useful if implemented on the wiki. Basically it adds a little "edit" option next to all the links on Special:WhatLinksHere. --Shockstorm (talk) 23:34, June 22, 2013 (UTC)

Problem for you to solve
Hi Kroq.. I had a look at this article, there is something at fault here as the headers are displayed on the side when you scroll down. Map (Skyrim)/Locations. You can see it when you come down to the tables after the maps. The first table has the Locations A-G, after that you can see all the other headers on the side. When you scroll down you can see the headers are missing over the rest of the tables, and over the last paragraph. I tried different things but couldn't fix it.. can you? :) EbonySkyrim (talk) 20:45, June 23, 2013 (UTC)
 * Yeah.. and I see you added 'clear' templates. I didn't think of that. Silly me :). I'll fix the actual article to see how it looks. Thanks for looking at it.. EbonySkyrim (talk) 19:18, June 24, 2013 (UTC)

Image
Kroq, can you please delete this image. AutoBlood uploaded it last night and it is from UESP wiki. File:Miraak'sRobes.png. People keep adding it to the page dispite me removing it and saying it's going to be deleted. EbonySkyrim (talk) 21:19, June 24, 2013 (UTC)

Time to archive
Hey, time to archive your talk page. It's driving me nuts how far down I have to scroll! :P — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  05:52, June 25, 2013 (UTC)

Hearthfire stub
Hey, I don't know how to make a new stub category(if that is even possible for me). So could you please make a stub for the Skyrim Add-On Heartfire?

Fine Steel Longsword
Hey kroq the Fine Steel Longsword page has an incorrect image for the weapon, it's showing a Fine Steel Shortsword, I found an image online dunno if it is high enough quality though LongswordFine.png (505×481) IDGAFon (talk) 12:52, June 27, 2013 (UTC)


 * Kroq, new image... done :) EbonySkyrim (talk) 19:07, June 27, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Custom Signature
I changed it, but the wiki changes it automatically to substitute. Um, since this template is used I assume that it just displays. 19:44, July 2, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Shouts in SkyrimLocations
Yeah, I think it would be helpful to add that field too, but you know, each individual word doesn't always appear at the same location. If you did make the shout field, it would have to specify the whole shout instead of the word. Is that what you meant in the first place? lol — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  17:38, July 3, 2013 (UTC)

Revert
Hey,

The change i made was to Blood of the Daedra was to fix the heading. That box that leads to the different parts of the article split the last sentence in half, I made the change to fix the heading. -Cheatcodechamp (talk) 17:03, July 4, 2013 (UTC)


 * The Table of contents, its a small change, but it fixed the heading so it was together. -Cheatcodechamp (talk) 17:13, July 4, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Fishing Job
Yeah, seems pretty pointless to me to have something linking back to the page it's linked on. Oh, and about the user that continues to delete messages from his talkpage, was that solved? If not, don't worry about it. Not worth it to make a huge deal out of it. It's still recorded in the edit history. I'm almost back from traveling. :P — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  20:58, July 6, 2013 (UTC)

News Worthy?
I know your mainly on Xbox, but you do also have Steam. And since Tomb is on vacation right now, I thought I'd ask you. Are the Steam trading cards news worthy since there are cards for Skyrim? By the way, I can get images of all the cards as of now because a friend sent me an email of them.

Thanks.

De-capitalization
Greetings, etc, etc. We are not sure just what the concensus is about this. Neither way is really satisfactory to us on all occasions. Using The Helpless Army, the Helpless Army, or the helpless army all look out of place, one way or the other. Perhaps we should change it to: the quest The Helpless Army. Again, that is somewhat clumsy when repeated several times on a page.

If the concensus is to always leave a quest as its page's name is, we will, of course comply. That will sometimes give this Wiki some less than stellar looking pages, though.DarthOrc (talk) 05:45, July 15, 2013 (UTC)

Question
What happens if there is a guy on skyrim and he gave you studded armor for no apparent reason and the guy chasing after that guy, what happens if you give it to that person, will something good or bad happen?


 * I dont mean at the beginning of the game but someone told me that a guy (thief) give it to me and there is a guy chasing after that guy (thief) but i gave it to the guy chasing after the guy (thief) And i wondered if i did something good or bad

Trivia questions
Would mentioning that a crosata is a type of pie with four links to Wikipedia in one sentence be considered valid? That seems irrelevant to me, not to mention that just about anyone can figure it out simpy by looking at it. Also, what about listing the fact that another character named Mogrul is added in Dawnguard on the page for the character in Dragonborn with the same name? - Erik the Mad (talk) 21:52, July 18, 2013 (UTC)

I need help again
I need your help again, i decided to go and grab a couple of things and this Ol Ogre named Urag something is trying to kill me!! I thought I was doing no bounty, i sheathed my magic and my weapons off and on over and over again but he wont stop!!! What do i do to make him trying to not kill me ;_; i want him to be peaceful.

More info: I have a follower named Lydia following me where i am at now, i am at the winterhold college in this game.

Re: Re: Heartfire Stubs.
Well there needs to be a section for Items(Qauried Stone, Clay, Nails).

A section for House Building and a section with misc things.

grtz, koekie715.

Thread in need of closing
While TombRaiser is out on vacation, I'm not sure who to ask next, but I have a thread in need of closing. The original topic was fine, and the discussion that followed was fine, as well, but it kind of devolved. If we could jsut close it and not delete it, that would be great. The thread is Racism vs Nationalism.Ability is what you can do, motivation is how much you do, motivation is how well you do it. (talk) 15:12, July 19, 2013 (UTC)PsijicThief

Image Templates
Hey I noticed you were revising my pix and I want to understand what that means. Should I be using something different than the "Summary" cut-n-paste when I upload images? Because it would be way faster to put SkyrimMapImages rather than all that info. Should I be using the Image Licensing Templates instead?

Dwemer
Hey Kroq, on the Dwemer page the only thing I see left that needs to be done soon is get the source/reference for two statements that need citations. Since I'm pretty sure Chairmanprescott6179 added the statements he should be asked to find the source.

Thanks. — AutoBlood  Talk  20:04, July 24, 2013 (UTC)

Thank you good sir/madam for your heart warming message. I do not see a reply option on my wall so I will leave one here. I will visit and enjoy the ride here. We'll see where I level up and advance but for now I'll leave you tea and biscuits. Albugineous (talk) 16:08, July 26, 2013 (UTC)

Empty
I have no idea. I had a look on some other wikis to see if WikiaBot did the same thing, and it did. The admins there just deleted the page and if it continued to be created they would continue to delete the page. So, delete! :P — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  21:43, July 26, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Daedroth Teeth
Hi Kroq, I have no idea what happened but I have had to reupload images several times before. Must be some bug or glitch with the wikia image server maybe. I've uploaded the image again. :) EbonySkyrim (talk) 22:22, July 26, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Please Stop Adding Characters to the Skyrim characters category
Hello, I added those pages because, sometimes, people may not know about those categories or something, and such. The other thing is, they are Skyrim characters, whether they're in add-ons or not. Sincerely, Ned1230 (talk) 12:51, July 27, 2013 (UTC)

Hi Kroq, I had a look in the Creation Kit. This user above has made a new article about Rodulf, one of the bandits in White River Watch but in the Kit they are only mentioned as dunWhiteRiverWatch_AlarmBandit1 and so on. There are 6 of them and none has a name. Should there really be articles about them...? I wanted to ask before adding a delete. Come to think of it, I can't find Hajvarr Iron-Hand in the Creation Kit either. Maybe I'm locking in the wrong place... just a footnote. EbonySkyrim (talk) 19:47, July 27, 2013 (UTC)
 * I see its gone now... EbonySkyrim (talk) 15:26, July 28, 2013 (UTC)


 * Excuse me, but have you considered my reason for adding Dragonborn and Dawnguard characters to Skyrim: Characters? Ned1230 (talk) 14:41, August 3, 2013 (UTC)


 * I hope I didn't come off as rude.  Ned1230 (talk) 14:45, August 3, 2013 (UTC)

Appearances
Lately, I've noticed one user adding the 'first appearance' template to just about every page he comes across. I was under the impression that this was only to be added to pages about things that appeared in more than one game for clarity and was not needed for something exclusive to a single game. Was I wrong about this, or is he just adding templates for the sake of adding templates? - Erik the Mad (talk) 16:25, August 2, 2013 (UTC)


 * I don't want to intrude, but I've noticed that people add or delete in Appearances sections with one entry based on their own personal preference -- I've seen people make a substantial number of edits to add it, while others do the same to remove it. I think its use needs to be clarified once and for all in the SF, and/or a consensus should be reached.


 * Personally I feel that since the Appearances sections are already in chronological order, and bulk of the games are numbered, it is not needed and should be eliminated entirely by a bot.

17:22, August 2, 2013 (UTC)
 * I think that these trivial edits are a result of the edit count, badges, and rankings. People troll for minor details to modify because it is quick and easy, rather than spending time to make substantial contributions. I know that it is beyond the scope of this conversation, but as a patroller on the Dragon Age Wiki I'd like to add that the introduction of badges and rankings was considered a failed experiment and later eliminated for that reason. Regards,

Dwemer airship plans
I've noticed that you and others have been putting a lot of work into the Dwemer article (great job, BTW). I've noticed that an article for the Dwemer airship plans found in MW was previously deleted due to being orphaned. It is definitely not my area of expertise, but if you're interested in including a note about airships somewhere in the Dwemer article, I can take a screenshot and recreate the article. Regards, 06:04, August 3, 2013 (UTC)
 * Now that I think about it, the plans are required for a faction quest that I haven't done in a long time, so there is an article that could link to it. If I can remember which one it was I'll recreate the article regardless of if there's reason to mention it in the Dwemer article or not. ;) 06:31, August 3, 2013 (UTC)

I know
Ha, ha... hey Kroq, I was on the phone at the same time and forgot to change the header.. (Applewatch) Thanks. *Thumbs up* EbonySkyrim (talk) 07:06, August 3, 2013 (UTC)

Re: IRC
You presume correctly Kroq-gar. I had two questions:

1. I don't know what system you play on, but do you have any suggestions for minimizing lagging on the PS3? I've been having some serious lagging issues with Skyrim lately. I've got the latest update installed and all three DLCs as well. It's very hard to defend my Homestead when I can hear my sword swinging but the game isn't moving, or when it's sitting on a loading screen for almost 5 minutes :\

2. I cured myself of Lycanthropy at Ysgramor's Tomb before the DLCs were released for PS3, but as soon as Dawnguard was installed I got it back. Now, on the Beast Form page it says Aela can offer you Lycanthropy an infinite number of times as a anti-venom for Vampirisim, but only as long as it hasn't been cured at Ysgramor's Tomb. I attempted having Serana turn me into a Vampire and then going to Aela to see if she would turn me back, but no dialogue option came up for it. So what I don't understand is, will she only offer it an infinite number of times if you lose your Lycanthropy the first time by becoming a Vampire? Because like I said, I cured myself at the Tomb. Or does that mean she can offer it infinetly as long as you don't cure yourself at the Tomb a second time, and my game is glitched? Sorry if that's confusing, I tried to word it as simply as I could.

Any advice you can offer would be appreciated, thanks in advance. Eaglewulf23 (talk) 02:27, August 4, 2013 (UTC)

Neloth
Could you add Neloth (Dragonborn) to the Councilors article please

Re: Morrowind
Hi, Basically what I'm doing is picking an effect, writing or adding content to those articles (I'm doing Feather at the moment -- you'll find a lot of MW articles link to Oblivion-specific articles). Then I work on articles for any spells, scrolls, weapons, armor, items, etc., that are enchanted with the effect.

Every once in a while I try to mix it up and work on random mini-projects, like getting all the expansion pack books and ingredients up on the wiki or writing something from the wanted pages list.

I'm using my original discs from ages ago, and my copy of Bloodmoon is not very functional anymore. I can poke around with the Construction Set, but one thing I can't do is get screenshots for anything added in Bloodmoon that uses a model or skin that's not in the vanilla game. I'm also having a weird issue with rings - for some reason the skins won't load and I can't get pics of those either. If that's something you feel like doing I'd really appreciate help with that.

Otherwise there's tons of stuff that needs work - especially characters, locations, quests, and everything expansion pack related. Also there are a lot of categories that have yet to be created. I noticed that a House Telvanni article for Online has been created, and there's no MW-specific Telvanni categories -- if it is a significant faction in Online that's something that may need to be remedied sooner rather than later, before everything gets mixed together. Honestly, just pick something and go for it. You'll find stuff to do everywhere you look. ;)

If you have any questions about the game, feel free to ask. There's some substantial differences with the combat system, it is pretty easy to die at the beginning, and you can fail when attempting to cast spells - all that will take some getting used to. Regards, 00:38, August 7, 2013 (UTC)

Is it sad
That I get more excited about finding out new characters and locations that have been confirmed in TES:Online than by the actual gameplay stuff? Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 15:27, August 7, 2013 (UTC)

Hartreds Heart
Someone renamed Hatreds Heart not long ago citing a misspelling. It is named "Hatreds Heart" in-game, which can be confirmed in the Construction Set. Perhaps we should be including [sic] in the lead whenever the spelling is odd to avoid having articles erroneously renamed? 15:51, August 7, 2013 (UTC)


 * Yes, same thing for Hatreds Soul (and Hatreds Soul Arrow if that also got changed). If you want have someone else to confirm what I see in the CS that's no problem. ;) 16:06, August 7, 2013 (UTC)


 * I can also confirm that it is Hatreds Heart/Soul/Arrow in the CS. EbonySkyrim (talk) 18:13, August 7, 2013 (UTC)


 * I know this doesn't relate to Hatreds Heart, but I thought that Thieves' Dagger was actually spelled "Thieve's Dagger", correct? I'll fix the Hatreds Heart business in the meantime. Kroq-gar78 (talk) 23:27, August 8, 2013 (UTC)


 * Yes sir, I see "Thieve's Dagger" in the CS. 20:55, August 9, 2013 (UTC)

Daedra
There's about a 40% chance of me being in the wrong place to post this concern, but here goes.

Molag Bal's title is listed wrong on the page http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Daedra.

There's an extraneous letter "m" at the end of it.

This asinine wiki isn't too keen on letting me correct that mis-spelling though.

I'm sure I'd appreciate your assistance in bypassing the idiotic automated filter and correcting what he is King of.

Three Thieves
Hey Kroq,

Sorry for editing the Three Thieves page so many times. I wasn't trying to get badges or anything. My iPad was acting and kept kicking me off of Safari, so I didn't want to make a huge amount of edits without saving them first. Also, each time I thought I had corrected everything, I'd notice another error. Sorry! I'm probably going to do the four tildes thing wrong...
