Re: Talk tonight
Hey Ebony. The soonest I'll be able to get on is in 12 hours, but I will be on for the next three while I wait to actually start my day, as it's 4 am here. Also, you might want to check Ikabite's talk page. Jimeee and I talked about what had happened there during my afternoon, which was about 12 hours ago. Likes-That-Tail (talk) 08:38, July 3, 2014 (UTC)


 * As of right now, I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it on tonight to talk. There's a hurricane hitting, and I'm getting rolling black outs. If the power is on, I'll be there in nine hours. Likes-That-Tail (talk) 11:03, July 3, 2014 (UTC)


 * Hey Ebony! The storm passed for the most part, and I'm on now. I should be on for the rest of the day if you still want to talk, unless of course it starts storming again. But yes, I discussed the matter with Jimeee. If he didn't tell you what he said, you can ask him or me next time we speak. Likes-That-Tail (talk) 20:58, July 3, 2014 (UTC)

Banning an anon
Could you ban 37.221.174.7. This anon user has been vandalizing the user page of AES and has been making questionable articles on the main space. I understand if it is not possible but all I can do is ask. Zu&#39;u lost daal. Alduin1996 (talk)

Illusion Ritual Spell
It's well-known that, whether due to a glitch or simple oversight, the requirement for this quest is an Illusion level of 100, not 90, regardless of the requirements for other Master-level spells. This is even supported by the fact that one of the unofficial Skyrim patches addresses this issue by reducing the requirement to 90. After quite a bit of looking around at various messages boards and even a Youtube video, everything I have found confirms this, yet two users seem adamant on insisting that it is 90 despite plenty of evidence to the contrary, and something needs to be done about this, as it's starting to turn into an edit war. - Erik the Mad (talk) 18:18, July 6, 2014 (UTC)
 * Erik, the requirement is not 100. UESP (I know, bad >_>) states that the quest itself requires 90, but a glitch with the dialogue for Drevin is the reason why it makes you wait until 100. 90 is correct and it should be noted in the bugs section of the article for Drevin's broken dialogue. --SuperSajuuk Talk Page 18:24, July 6, 2014 (UTC)
 * Guys, it seems there are different answers on different sites. Some are uncertain and some say it is after you reach 90 after a patch. I have also looked at *cough*, UESP and it does indeed say that Speys, so maybe this should be mentioned in the article. 18:32, July 6, 2014 (UTC)

Updated with new information
I'm surprised at the approach of this wikia towards the discouraging use of quest categories. Having past experience with an MMO with thousands of quests, quest categories are an extremely efficient way group quests without the need to manually maintain individual quest lists and the mobile wikia apps makes extensive use of the categories. That being said, it's your sandbox and your rules.

Could I get some guidance what categories are to be included on the quests?

--Bowdacious.telon (talk) 18:29, July 9, 2014 (UTC)


 * In my opinion based on experience is that you can not have enough categories when it comes to quests. Granted, care and attention is required to structure the additional categories under the overarching quest category. On Vanguard, we created a quest template that auto-categorized the quests based on the variables entered in the article. There was no need to add any categories manually to a quest article.


 * Again categories are the most efficient way to cross-reference information. For example, visitors could be looking quests by faction (maybe to decide where to start the character), by level (where should I go next), by region (what quests have I missed for my achievement), location (what quests are here), reward type (which quests offer jewelry rewards), skill shortcuts (is it worth the skill points to invest them in persuasion and/or intimidation), etc.


 * Just yesterday, some friends were trying to remember where to get a certain quest in deshaan, and I was able to retrieve the information in under 1 min because the quest had been grouped in to region and location. They also were asking for reward type category to be added to this wikia.


 * I don't post for badges. I post to find answers quickly so I can help my fellow players and demonstrate that this wikia is a useful resource for them to find answers. --Bowdacious.telon (talk) 16:12, July 10, 2014 (UTC)


 * As requested, here's a link to a template used on the vanguard saga of heroes' wikia quest articles: Vanguard QuestInformation template. You will have to edit it to see the mediawiki code that checks to see if values are present in the various parts of the template and then adds categories automatically. For example, this template would look at the input of the 'level' variable and place quest in one of the quest level categories (eg. level 1 - 10, level 11 - 20, etc.) --Bowdacious.telon (talk) 21:59, July 11, 2014 (UTC)

Locking ID pages
Hey Ebony, could you lock the console commands subpages that contain item IDs? It's not like anything new can be added to them, and people keep doing this kind of edit. 17:23, July 11, 2014 (UTC)
 * Done.. 18:01, July 11, 2014 (UTC)

Factual correction
Hi EbonySkyrim I think i found a mistake on "Houses (Oblivion)" it says that shadowmere can get over-encumbered but on "Shadowmere (Oblivion)" it says she has no encumbrance, so she can carry an infinite amount of items. I tested it and i think she has no encumbrance. But i can't edit it beceause the page is protected. Peanut222link (talk) 22:10, July 14, 2014 (UTC)Peanut222link

Chat?
Hey Ebony. Can you please come on chat sometime soon? I need to speak with you. I'll be on for the next couple hours. Thank you! Likes-That-Tail (talk) 21:14, July 15, 2014 (UTC)


 * Oh, I understand about the heat. It's been 115°F here lately, and my air conditioning was blown up by lightning from the hurricane. But no, the Zipper situation is unrelated to what I wanted to talk about. If you see me on while you're on, then we'll talk. Thanks! Likes-That-Tail (talk) 12:11, July 16, 2014 (UTC)

I love what you did with ElderScrolls
Hi EbonySkyrim,

We're working on a really cool project that builds on top of the Wiki model and makes it much easier to build online knowledge communities. Right now we're focused on the cryptocurrency space but we'll expand from there. You've done a phenomenal job with ElderScrolls. I would really love to get on a Skype call with you and ask for your advice on community building and your opinion on what we're working on.

Can you please send me an e-mail at chris@eagerpanda.com and we can talk more?

Thanks!

Chat?
Hi Ebony. Are you able to come into chat at the moment? Jimeee (talk) 10:28, July 18, 2014 (UTC)

Notice
There's a new thread up on the private forum in the general chat board that I would like your input on. Thanks! ゆ (talk) 12:17, July 18, 2014 (UTC)


 * It's not being kept in private for the sake of being in private, it's so it it can be finetuned before being released. I can't force you to post, but as the only admin there, your input is extremely important. If you, for any reason, be it personal or time based, can't post on it in any form, I ask that you make another admin aware of it. ゆ (talk) 18:28, July 19, 2014 (UTC)


 * Listen, you're free to have your opinion on it, but a couple of admins don't equal the whole community, especially when you're not giving any points as a counter-argument. The current issue with the current administration is that you wont give anyone the time of day, I don't mean this in a bad way, I'm sure you're busy, this is exactly what this is all about. We aren't here to rebel against the admins, and you aren't here to act as an illuminati, that's why I want the community to improve, so the wiki can improve. You may be acting from a more experienced view point, but that only works when you teach people as opposed to the "I know what I'm doing therefore what I say goes" attitude that some seem to be taking. Jimeee came in chat, and gave reasons for his views. Kenny came in chat, and said he's going to give his views on the thread. This is a rare occurance, which I wish to see more of, as admins themselves has said, you are not above anyone else, and everyone else is expected to back up their views in situations like this, you are not exempt. When the discussion goes public, I hope to see you post, so we can finally reach an agreement, and make the wiki a better place :) ゆ (talk) 21:06, July 19, 2014 (UTC)


 * I'm not manipulating you, don't be defensive, I might have come off a certain way, but the point is, I'm trying to tell you that a wiki is a community effort, and if you ignore the community, it ends badly, and the wiki becomes a worse place. As you once said to someone else "can you ever compromize? In all the discussions I've seen you in, you never compromize, you do come off a bit bossy and enforcing what you think is the best all the time and want others to follow." this applies to you to, and your user right doesn't change that. "Please cool down and try to compromize some times. I'm sure the discussions will be more friendly that way." this also applies to you, I'm trying to be friendly here, and to offer a way in which we can compromise, but you deny it and claim I'm manipulating you, in favour of going with the opinion a select few users. If you aren't above anyone, act it. ゆ (talk) 14:16, July 20, 2014 (UTC)


 * OOOH, you were refering to the private forum being a bad idea, nevermind. If your issue is with the private forum itself, I'll put it public when I can. ゆ (talk) 18:18, July 20, 2014 (UTC)

Can you have a talk to Zipper and Digital Cleaner please
I don't know if you heard about the Zipper vs Digital fight on the mods Wiki but it is tearing the place apart. Now they have decided to continue the fight on my talk page. I normally don't swear but I wish they could both fu*k off, they are really anoyying me. Thanks in advance. Zu&#39;u lost daal. Alduin1996 (talk) 22:29, July 18, 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi this is Digital Cleaner, I received your request for me to leave this issue alone so in all due respect I will but first I think it's only fair that you know the circumstances and that I get the chance to speak on this issue after being slandered and abused through this whole thing.


 * I find it quite interesting that alduin posted this here on my talk page and I quote " I have contacted wikia via Communty Central and they have told me that I am able to demod Zipper and reinstate any blocked users", proving he see's the abuse, then nothing was done about it.


 * Alduin also private messaged me through steam saying he was siding with me on this and my ban would be lifted. Then he comes in here and writes the above. Something is not making sense here.


 * I am a victim in all of this. My trademarked name has experienced defamation through this because this wiki has allowed zippertrian85 to abuse his powers to delete my work, my comments and deleted his own smug comments to protect himself leaving nothing but derogatory remarks about me. It seems like this whole thing is being swept under the rug with me as the fall guy. I have done nothing more than voice concern over said admin's abuses with me and other people with rude behavior and ban's based on false pretenses.


 * You can fact check this here where another admin "likes that tail" wrote a chat warning on zippertrain85's wall. You'll see no such history on my talk page. That is a fact.


 * If people didn't stick up for their rights and the truth the world would be a terrible place. So that is why I am not going to sit idly by and allow this behavior without making someone in charge aware of it and see some action taken before I leave this wiki for all time. Of which I will gladly do after putting weeks of work in only to have this slander associated with my mod author name. Not to mention putting up with all this crap and wasting precious time.


 * This whole thing is a sham and I demand fair treatment. If I had one request, it would be that my profile "digitalcleaner is deleted from the wiki, or at least lift my ban. I do not want my name associated to this situation as banned and the pseudo defamation remarks. Because of the way things have been handled I dont want to be associated with this wiki in any way shape or form. Again, please delete my profile and my talk page, or lift my ban so I can at the very least edit my own profile.


 * I also want to make it very clear that I want no further part in this whatsoever. I want closure.


 * Thanks for your time reading this and for any help you can provide relating to my final requests.  Digitalcleaner (talk) 07:34, July 24, 2014 (UTC)

Regarding Skyrim:90000
I read up on Skyrim's Talk Page after he was banned by Chat Moderator Likes-That-Tail.

He was banned for abusing multiple accounts, but your post  here contradicts that. Please get on Chat ASAP so I can talk to you about it as another user and I feel that was an unacceptable Chat Ban.

Edits Being Undone
Hi Ebony, I'm really really sorry to bother you again (and I realise you'll probably still be at work at the moment), but I have been having extra conflict regarding the user Erik the Mad. As well as issues on the Vilkas page, they are removing information I added from the Soul Gems page a while back. I thought it would be more helpful too if I made a more complete list of the information I keep trying to add to make things easier on you:

(For the Vilkas page)
 * Vilkas does not attack the Dragonborn when the player transforms into a werewolf.
 * Vilkas does not leave or become hostile if the Dragonborn kills an innocent person. They will do nothing or if town guards become involved and hostile, will attack the guards with the player as the majority of other followers do.
 * Vilkas at some point is not tagged as essential anymore (I stated in my edit comment that I didn't know at what point this happened, I speculated the end of the Companions Questline, but invited others to add this missing information).

(For the Soul Gems page)
 * Providing evidence for a possible type of Quartz that the game creators drew inspiration from for the Soul Gem design.

Again, I'm really sorry for bothering you, but this is rather upsetting, as I am trying to talk to the user myself through their Talk page and edit comments but it doesn't appear to be going well (they refused to reply at first) and are now labelling my edits as vandalism (see Soul Gem page history). I'd just rather have a staff member mediate the situation. Bluesonic1 (talk) 09:23, July 23, 2014 (UTC)

Adding staff templates as non-staff
Hey Ebony. Sorry to bother you, but Skyrim90000 has been adding staff templates to his user page as well as his talk page. He added the chat moderator template to his user page after I had banned him from chat, then after that was reverted by Sky Above, Voice Within, he proceeded to add the administrator template to his talk page, which was also removed by Sky. Just a few hours ago, Skyrim90000 added the patroller template to his user page, which I took the liberty of reverting myself. Could you talk to him about it? Thank you!
