Team Morrowind
Hey, I am glad to see you have said you would help with the Morrowind articles.

As of now, User:Tehpwner7067 and User:Emperor Maximus are also committed to this. Others may join, but until then the three of you should talk and figure out the best way to handle this project.

Besides expanding this area of the wiki, another think you should look out for are articles that could become featured article. If you come across an article or two that could be brought to FA standards, do what you can so we can show it off on the main page.

Please let me know if you have any questions, comments, or concerns that would like to share. Thanks and happy editing-Cheatcodechamp (talk) 21:16, January 31, 2015 (UTC)

RE:Question
Hey, sorry if I took to long to respond. I hope the wait was not a problem.

Anyway, the rule for bugs was put in place to prevent glitch's being added and us ending up with dozens of bugs nobody had to deal with. The way we thin then out is to confirm they are bugs by getting several people to confirm it.

What I would recommend, is to go to the quests talk page, and report the possible bug and the fix if you have one. If others support the claim, it will be added to bugs for the systems reported on. I would look for reports on this wiki or others that back it up, one or two should be enough.

If this is a problem, it should be noted on the wiki. And don't worry about being smacked upside the head, we where all new once and mistreatment of other editors for any reason is not acceptable

Thanks and happy editing.-Cheatcodechamp (talk) 07:28, February 1, 2015 (UTC)

re: syntax
First off, please sign your posts when posting to talkpages. You can do this by typing ~ or by clicking this button on the toolbar above.

In regards to syntax: the VisualEditor adds links to pages inappropriately. When linking to an article on this wiki, the syntax is, but VisualEditor adds the links like this:. This leads to messy source and unnecessary bytes to be loaded, not to mention that it messes up with link usage on Special:WhatLinksHere, which only registers a link when the former method is used: the latter is considered an "external link" so won't be registered in the system, which can lead to broken links on pages.

You can sort this problem by making sure to change your preferences so that the Preferred editor is set to the Source Editor. Serious editors on a wiki never use the visualeditor, not to mention that it has the side habit of messing up pages in a way that is akin to vandalism.

I hope this helps you to understand my comment on link syntax. --Sajuuk talk 10:35, February 3, 2015 (UTC)

Image size
Hey Gaminomicon. I noticed your upload on Adding, and I just wanted to let you know that our image policies state that all character images should be 600x1000 pixels. Of course, we will not remove your image (it fits the other requirements), but in the future remember to crop your character images down to 600x1000 pixels to maintain perfect quality and size. Thank you. Have fun editing! ―Atvelonis (talk) 19:28, February 3, 2015 (UTC)


 * I'd also like to know that in some of your photos the NPC names show up. To stop this, open the console (~ key) and type in the command  and the UI shouldn't get in the way. It should be noted that there's this issue where you can't turn the NPC names and stuff back on, so I suggest saving each time before typing the command, thank you. ☞ Rim < Chat with Me 06:36, February 4, 2015 (UTC)


 * Yeah, no problem. To replace other contributors images, you'd need to reupload them. To do this, go to the image, look at it's file history, and click upload a new version of this file. From then on it's pretty self-explanatory, but the image has to be the same file type. It the older image is a .png, make sure your file is a .png or else you can't reupload it. If the older image is a .jpg don't bother replacing it. Upload your new image as a .png since the PNG format is a lot better for wikis. Thank you. ☞ Rim < Chat with Me 07:05, February 4, 2015 (UTC)


 * P.S. You would also need to find all links to the ".jpg" image and manually change them to a ".png" image.-Garry Damrau( talk ) 11:03, February 4, 2015 (UTC)


 * The help is always appreciated gang. Hopefully this next batch will finally be exactly what we're all looking for. ^_^ *leaves tray of cookies*Gaminomicon (talk) 05:17, February 8, 2015 (UTC)

re: talkpage
You can archive your talkpage, but you don't have enough topics to do this. Policy is currently stating you must have 25 topics on your talkpage at a minimum to archive. Help:Archiving states more about it. --Sajuuk talk 11:49, February 11, 2015 (UTC)
 * I also agree the "you must have 25 topics on a talkpage" rule is stupid and pointless. That was actually a policy Ebony added without even discussing it with anyone, so I don't even see the validity of such a policy. --Sajuuk talk 11:59, February 11, 2015 (UTC)
 * No such thing as a favourites list on wiki's. :D --Sajuuk talk 12:40, February 11, 2015 (UTC)
 * Sajuuk, the point of needing 25 messages on your talk page is so that people don't make tons of tiny archives. Archives are supposed to be used only if your talk page has gotten too long. The policy is something that should stay. ―Atvelonis (talk) 13:44, February 11, 2015 (UTC)
 * It's up to end users to decide what constitutes "a long talkpage", not a wiki policy. I'm not going to get into an argument about this on someone else's talkpage. --Sajuuk talk 13:51, February 11, 2015 (UTC)

Re: JPG Replacing Help
I'm not sure you can re-upload a .jpg as a .png, actually. I've tried it a couple of times before and an error message (File extension ".JPG" does not match the detected MIME type of the file (image/png).) always came up for me. So I suppose the only way around that would be just have to upload a completely new file as a .png and manually put that on the page. ―Atvelonis (talk) 13:53, February 11, 2015 (UTC)
 * Well, upload the new .pngs just like you would any other images you're uploading for the first time, and after they're uploaded find the pages on which you want to re-upload the image and then replace the .jpg image with the .png image. ―Atvelonis (talk) 14:44, February 11, 2015 (UTC)
 * Okay. So, found a workaround that will likely get me yelled at. I created a new page, selected the Morrowind Character template, then hit Preview and right-clicked on the Upload image link in the preview itself and opened that in a new tab, then did the usual upload procedure treating it all like a real character page that needed an image. After the image upload was finished, I backed out of the new page creation and went back to the original character page with the bad image file, the evil .jpg (why do we hate this?) and then edited THAT page and pointed the character image at the new .png image I'd just uploaded for the fake page that now doesn't exist.  End result, Thavere Vedrano ish happy.Gaminomicon (talk) 16:29, February 11, 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, I see what you are doing and while it is not wrong, you are making it somewhat harder for yourself than you have to. You can just go to Special:Upload and do the process quicker instead of doing the whole preview thing to get to the link. Have fun editing! ―Atvelonis (talk) 18:13, February 11, 2015 (UTC)
 * PNG's preserve the quality when you save them, whereas JPG's are low quality and lose a lot of it, so when it's uploaded, you aren't uploading anything close to the original screenshots. That's why PNG's can be quite large in size and JPG's smaller.
 * @Atvelonis: I can understand why he's doing it, the upload form has some code running that prevents the Destination Filename field from being filled out, which is really quite pointless imo... --Sajuuk talk 18:29, February 11, 2015 (UTC)

Yesh and now I've simplified it down to just keeping a single fake page open the whole time so the easy upload link is constantly at the ready. :) I couldn't find the Special Upload link lol. I'll be in my cave if anyone needs me. Gaminomicon (talk) 19:06, February 11, 2015 (UTC)

Image help
Hey, I figured you are uploading a lot of images, I would try to help out. This link will take you to the multiple upload, where you can add several images at one. The only catch is that you will need to handle the organizing of the images there at the same time. Since they are all character images, adding {{MorrowindCharacterImages} (just add one more "}" to the end to close and create the template. You can handle this as you wish, I just wanted to show you another option if you didn't know about it already.-Cheatcodechamp (talk) 20:02, February 11, 2015 (UTC)


 * I was soooooooooooooo hoping there was a bulk uploader hiding around here somewhere. Thank you!!!! I've got about 125 more to do this evening so that will help out tremendously. :)Gaminomicon (talk) 20:09, February 11, 2015 (UTC)


 * Glad to help, just please add that template so they are organized, its a project I am working on and that template would save me the trouble. If you need anything else just ask.-Cheatcodechamp (talk) 20:20, February 11, 2015 (UTC)


 * You can't re-upload JPGs with PNG files, the only thing you can do is mark them for deletion. Upload the PNG files with the same name and replace where the JPGs are located with the PNGs. ☞ Rim < Chat with Me 22:22, February 11, 2015 (UTC)

Will do Cheat. Hiyas Rim. Worked around the JPG issue this morning Rim but thank you for hopping in. :) I'm shooting for 300 images when I use your method tonight Cheat, and yep, I'm coming to ask you a stupid question right now.Gaminomicon (talk) 00:24, February 12, 2015 (UTC)

Map images
Hi Gamin. I saw that you added a map image to Minabi. Typically we like to use images of the world map for most locations rather than the local map, to show where it is in the world in relation to other places. The local map is usually used for locations within cities or settlements. Have fun editing! ―Atvelonis (talk) 22:49, February 23, 2015 (UTC)


 * I'm not really sure what you mean by "combining," and sadly I haven't played Morrowind so I don't know how the map works in it. Could you elaborate some more? Thanks. ―Atvelonis (talk) 01:07, February 24, 2015 (UTC)


 * Ah. I see now. Well, I like the idea, but I think it might stretch the infobox a little too much. I'll ask another staff member what they think of the idea as well. Happy editing! ―Atvelonis (talk) 12:22, February 24, 2015 (UTC)

Eigma
Hey, great work on the images. You may have joked a few times about being new, but so far I have seen little to say you are one.

Anyway, I point of being here. There is an character in Morrowind I need to confirm exist. The next time you are in Ald Daedroth, look for a character named Eigma. The article says she is a female Nord, but I am finding new information about her online at all. Don't let this get in the way of your current project, If anything it may just end up being along the way since she has no image. If you cannot find her, mark her for deletion and I will handle it.

Thanks, and happy editing.-Cheatcodechamp (talk) 02:43, February 25, 2015 (UTC)


 * Thanks, I figured you where the best man for the job. To mark something for deletion, just put two brackets, and the word Delete and end it with closing brackets. It helps if you add a reason why its marked by either editing the template in visual mode, or adding a vertical line "|" and the reason for it being marked after the word delete in the template. If you are having trouble with templates, you can use The Sandbox to freely experiment and play with templates or other things you need. We could also set you up with your own private sandbox if you needed it.-Cheatcodechamp (talk) 06:24, February 25, 2015 (UTC)


 * Glad to know she is real. The reason I doubted was I found nothing of her online at all.  Thanks for handling that, I hope it wasn't out of your way.-Cheatcodechamp (talk) 06:42, February 25, 2015 (UTC)

Morrowind template update and Guild
Hey.

I figured I should give you an update, since you are working with morrowind more then anybody else. The templates have been updated so they will now include the stats for their flight and Alarm. I know if you need these or care, but should you need this info, now you have it.

Another thing I felt I should talk with you about is the Morrowind Guild. I think you should talk with the other two members about you trying to get the guild moving. HeroBrine is still new in many ways, and Tehp has the other guild to worry about. The Guilds where made to assist the wiki and its editor handle areas of the wiki more fully, and I think it would be a decent idea to have you assist by leading that guild should you be up to it. User:Emperor Jarjarkine and I would be able to help you every step of the way, so you would not be alone on this. If you want, talk with the other two members, and if the three of you are in agreement, the guild could start up and you might have some help on one of the largest areas of the wiki.-Cheatcodechamp (talk) 01:21, February 28, 2015 (UTC)

Everything OK?
Hey, haven't seen you on in a few days. Everything OK?-Cheatcodechamp (talk) 21:04, March 2, 2015 (UTC)

Morrowind Guild
I haven't really decided what to do yet. I was previously working on Seyda Neen, adding proper images to the locations and such, but I've already finished that a while back. I might move to Balmora if it needs proper images or I might add more to the Seyda Neen pages. I am doing a playthrough of Morrowind so I will mostly just add stuff as I go along. As for the Guildmaster I don't really care, I can be anyone in my opinion. You, me, or one of the others. 11:47, March 4, 2015 (UTC)

Morrowind Guild
I haven't decided specifically on what to do yet. I'm also on Team Oblivion and Skyrim, being Guildmaster of the former. I guess you can be our Guildmaster, just to save time.

Tehpwner7067 (talk) 21:02, March 4, 2015 (UTC)

Hej, thanks for your question, I read about the guilds before but I wasn't sure whether I fit in. I'm currently playing Morrowind, you see, and was frustrated by the non-existent information on the related wiki pages, so I started editing. I don't work on specific projects but just document whatever I encounter. I also won't always have so much time or interest in editing. But I would like to join the guild if you still think it makes sense ;) Mondblueme (talk) 17:46, March 20, 2015 (UTC)Mondblueme
 * Done. I've actually seen your work adding all those charakter images, makes for a much better impression on those pages... Thanks for letting me join :) Mondblueme (talk) 18:45, March 20, 2015 (UTC)Mondblueme


 * I will look into it, wanted to head there soon anyway. So, enjoy your five hours and sleep tight (whatever your time is right now across the pond...?).Mondblueme (talk) 16:52, March 30, 2015 (UTC)Mondblueme

RE: Morrowind Project and Guild
I was originally working on the categorization of the characters according to class, but CCC asked me to halt in doing so. I will currently work on things like grammar and other errors, as well as adding to those such pages that are stubs. Overall, I'll probably just do an all-around overhaul for the Morrowind pages.

RE:The Plan...
I will help the best I can with getting people to help with your guild projects. Most aspects of the wiki need members to help, and one of my jobs as Admin is to help with this.

The main point of topic are the tools you are asking for. You are asking for the tools granted to Patrollers. Besides renaming and what not, we would also ask you to keep an eye on new articles, and marked them as patrolled. I would prefer to talk about this in chat about some of the things involving this, so next time we are both in chat we can run through what it would take to get this done.

Until then, I will do a shout out on the wikis Facebook page and see if we can't get a few editors that way.-Cheatcodechamp (talk) 06:07, March 12, 2015 (UTC)

I know your internet isn't the greatest, but if you can nip on chat today, I'd like to talk about something... --Sajuuk talk 09:19, March 12, 2015 (UTC)

Bracket
Hey, glad to see you back. Also, thought I should let you know, you've been forgetting to use the first bracket { in the template when uploading images. No worries though, I'm fixing it for you. Other than that, great job on those images. Happy editing! —Atvelonis (talk) 15:32, March 20, 2015 (UTC)

re: edit summary
Just a couple of points: Thanks. :) --Sajuuk talk 21:06, March 20, 2015 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit summaries should be about explaining the edit you are making, not for pointing out things you've noticed around the wiki: another user should be able to read the summary and instantly know the edit made to the page without needing to actually look at the diff report.
 * 2) Only edits in content namespaces will appear on the WikiActivity feed: edits in namespaces like files, templates and the MediaWiki namespace can only be seen in the RecentChanges feed.

Chat
Let me know when its good for you, I will try to remain near my laptop and will join chat when you are ready to talk.-Cheatcodechamp (talk) 19:18, March 21, 2015 (UTC)

Morrowind Images
I havent said this yet (because I've had very little time in which to get online) - but seriously nice work on fixing up our Morrowind Images articles. Keep up the good work! Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 05:58, March 22, 2015 (UTC)


 * Heh - Thanks to you as well. The reason I'm doing such "quick" edits - I was actually just doing minor changes to things such as changing links (articles to be deleted, for example), which doesn't take very much time at all :) As for the speed - well, I have to - as I don't get a chance to edit very often, so have to do a lot in a short amount of time :) (For example, I now have to go pick up my son, and thus, there goes my editing for today, sadly). Before I go though, yeah, just wanted to say thank you for the Morrowind images - it was on my eventual to-do list, but wasn't going to get done for a very, very long time (Kids and work, sadly take up too much of my time). Anyways - it was very good to meet you, and I wish you luck on your editing journey. If there's anything that I can do - let me know, and I'll reply as soon as I can (it might be a few days though, if im not online - but I will try my best! :) Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 06:15, March 22, 2015 (UTC)

I Didn't Choose the Guild Life. The Guild Life Chose Me.
Hurro! Thanks for the welcome back, oh friendly one! I'd love to join a guild, as you say, but my out of web life is extremely busy right now. I'd like to wait a bit and find out just exactly how these guilds work. I WILL solo edit for you if you have any grammatical issues or things of that nature. If you have any odd job problems, hit me up homie and I will get right on it. As well as punctual issues, my narcissistic side likes to say that I'm knowledgeable about Daedric lore, so if one of your guilds encounters any problems there that they'd like fixed, I can hop right on.

Thanks again for welcoming, I like your shoes, and cool username.

G'bye and other things.

Hi Gamin. We don't normally allow modded images, but I'd say this is fine since you're just removing fog. So yes, you can use it if you like. Keep up the good work, and happy editing! —Atvelonis (talk) 23:50, March 28, 2015 (UTC)

 * I am sorry I missed your emails, I will take a look into why that is when I get a moment. I am glad to hear all is well.  At the very least, you deserved a break after all the images and the like.  I will try to be on tonight.  I am going out of town from Friday to Monday and odds are I will be able to do little while away, so I need to set things up right.

Morrowind Icon

 * It was not anything actually serious. I thought it was used in the Morrowind template pages, for example MorrowindLocations. I had a look - it turns out that it's used in the Morrowind Stub pages. So ... the aim is rather the opposite. (Eventually, we want to be have it much lower down the list). 04:02, April 15, 2015 (UTC)

Hey,

The image you marked for deletion File:Adamantium Boots.png states the image is messed up and named incorrectly. Is it just the name that is the problem?
