Refs correction
I see you are changing "References" header to "refs" template. I've made a bad decision when I've started adding the "OOG" template, nice you are correcting it.Amulet of Kings (talk) 15:23, January 8, 2018 (UTC)

Bug removal
Can i ask why you removed my addition to this page:

Nix-Hound (Lore)
I'm curious as to why you think this page should be deleted. There's enough lore on Nix-Hounds to justify the creation of a page for it, and that information shouldn't be placed on the articles for their in-game versions, seeing as those pages should be kept solely relevant to the actual in-game creature. Could you explain?

The imperial battlemage (talk) 21:07, April 4, 2018 (UTC)


 * Yes, perhaps the way I did it caused confusion, but I wasn't proposing for the information to be completely removed. I have already moved the contents here, as I said in the deletion notice. That is something that we have been doing since January of this year for lore pages in general, because of a moot decision. Rozty (talk) 21:12, April 4, 2018 (UTC)


 * Ah, thanks for clarifying, that does make sense. I wasn't aware of that particular Moot decision, as I haven't been active on here for a little while, especially if the decisionw was in January. Thanks again for your answer and quick response.
 * The imperial battlemage (talk) 21:16, April 4, 2018 (UTC)


 * No problem, I did go about it in such a roundabout way after all, so anyone would be confused. Rozty (talk) 21:24, April 4, 2018 (UTC)

Regarding Factions
On the Quest Articles, the Faction isn't there to make note of the Vestige's Faction, but rather all the Factions of Enemies/Friendly's that the Vestige encounters during said quest. Just telling you this seeing you reverted an Edit.   Aquila2002 * Talk? * Chat?


 * Is that it? I'm not used to editing for Online, so I might do things wrong. I made a similar edit a while back and it wasn't corrected so I thought that was the right format. Thanks for pointing that out to me, I'll make sure to remember it for next time. Rozty (talk) 14:09, April 10, 2018 (UTC)


 * Yeah, that's how I had it for every Quest I worked on in Online, at the time where I did some mass editing, so it was hard to miss if it were wrong. Anyhow, i'm happy to see you Editing more than me now! I may go back into it properly after I finish my 17 exams i 3 weeks :) It's a similar thing for Locations as well. Doing #Locations|See below gives us a tighter info board, making it look more professional, and we can list the Locations under the subheading.  Aquila2002 * Talk?  * Chat?


 * No, the locations header is not used on quest articles to list out which locations it appears in. This is only done for sublocations on a location page. —Atvelonis (talk) 01:19, April 11, 2018 (UTC)

MOTM
Hey, Rozty

Just wanted to let you know that I've nominated you for Member of the Month, let's just hope that it goes through. Here's the link for proof. Good luck! --Vincentius1 (talk) 20:26, April 27, 2018 (UTC)


 * Wow, this is unexpected! Thank you, I'll be looking forward to the results! --Rozty (talk) 20:36, April 27, 2018 (UTC)

Wise Woman (Lore)
Could you please explain your reasoning for marking this for deletion? The imperial battlemage (talk) 19:24, May 4, 2018 (UTC)
 * Nevermind, it's been cleared up. The imperial battlemage (talk) 19:36, May 4, 2018 (UTC)

MOTM
This is a little late, but the Member of the Month vote passed, so you've been added to the list of MOTM recipients. You also have a shiny new nametag at the top of your profile. Congrats! Your contributions to the wiki are extremely useful, and I hope you continue editing for many years! :) —Atvelonis (talk) 14:59, May 13, 2018 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much! I'll wear my shiny new nametag with pride, and I hope to remain here for years to come! —Rozty (talk) 13:47, May 14, 2018 (UTC)

NPC usage
If you want to do a global change across all Oblivion pages, please feel free to do so. I won't complain in the slightest. Pending that, I think the change is more confusing than otherwise. DaBarkspawn (talk) 16:25, May 14, 2018 (UTC)

Speechcraft Training
You cited double links on the Speechcraft Training page, as well as that the Trivia was unrelated to the quest.

Okay, I get if there were double links in the paragraphs, but the purpose of having a table is to make it easy to have data lined up, so removing double links seems a little like doing work just to make people work harder to find something.

And as for the Trivia (which I had named to Notes when I created it a while ago, dunno how that happened) is all general quest info, no less related than the info that's still there.

Bounty (Online)
I've been trying to get a good picture of the Infamy Meter but my screenshots are too low quality and I'm not sure about the rules on using pictures from the internet.

Also while I'm on the topic are there any other game mechanics for Online that need pages because I will be happy to make them (or at least lay the groundwork)? MrRiddle0 (talk) 22:05, June 27, 2018 (UTC)

Darkwater Pass
Hi there, I'm making lots of small edits because if I try to make a long one you interrupt me and I have to do it again. I lost an hour's work earlier this evening because of that. Yes I'm sure there is a way of preserving it, but I'm new to this wiki and I don't know what it is. I'd much rather make longer ones, but if that's what you want you have to wait till I've finished before editing the page. I do say what I'm doing in the History notes. Macguba (talk) 23:22, July 3, 2018 (UTC)

OK I see you've deleted the page I just created because it's the fundamentally the same quest as the other one. Fair enough, you know the conventions of this wiki and I don't. But why didn't you edit up the main quest page first? I've got a Quest in my log: 5 minutes ago it was on the wiki and now it isn't. How is that making things better? Macguba (talk) 23:28, July 3, 2018 (UTC)

Am I not allowed to edit??????
GamerMike667 (talk) 22:31, July 16, 2018 (UTC)Stop pretending like you own this wiki, I can edit what I want as long as Im not spewing hatred on there.


 * I do apologize for my unnecessary behavior, is it possible to reupload the Image if I remove the HUD and crop it together with the original photo?

Re: Dawnstar and Stormhold items
Thanks a ton for the templates. They should make adding things a lot easier.

As for the difference between consumables, there are items in-game (both Dawnstar and Stormhold) such as Healing Balms/Crystals and Ailment Ointments/Crystals, and then there's other consumables like Eternal Ice that kill enemies depending on their difficulty (i.e. Eternal Ice/Dark Aura Crystals killing "strong enemies" and Winter's Chill/Gray Aura Crystals killing "weak enemies"). I don't know if that's enough to warrant a secondary category/template, but I thought it was worth mentioning just in case.

Gaggle Zealot (talk) 15:19, July 18, 2018 (UTC)

Kollop Page
I think that Kollop page is more important than redirection to Kollopi. It is a specie, and there already are articles for clams in both Oblivion and Skyrim. And putting everything into Pearl page wouldn't be a good solution, because it should contain information mainly regarding pearls.Dwemer35 (talk) 22:37, July 25, 2018 (UTC)


 * No problem, I didn't put too much content into it anyways, but I'm glad we sorted that out. I'll add more to that page as soon as possible, unless somebody else does it. Also, thanks for support, it means a lot.Dwemer35 (talk) 22:11, July 26, 2018 (UTC)

Re: Formatting
I apologize, and thanks for the warning. I'll try to pay more attention in future and avoid such mistakes. And yes, I do have visual editor set as default.Dwemer35 (talk) 17:33, August 4, 2018 (UTC)

Re: Character images
Fixing them.

Thifike (talk) 21:18, August 12, 2018 (UTC)


 * Please check Berea now. If ok, i will fix the rest.


 * Thifike (talk) 21:28, August 12, 2018 (UTC)
 * Actually I updated all of them, they should be good now:


 * 1) Berea
 * 2) Bolaag
 * 3) Cesarel Hedier
 * 4) Cindiri Malas
 * 5) Eldfyr
 * 6) Gideelar
 * Thanks, Thifike (talk) 21:58, August 12, 2018 (UTC)

Please stop undoing my edits
I'm trying to add some clarity to some articles and i would appreciate it if you cease and desist, thank you. Fowburner (talk) 01:27, August 17, 2018 (UTC)

Knives
There are not 600 lootable knives in the game. Only Dwemer knifes and the unique Balbus's Fork can be found and picked up. TheRealMictlantecuhtli (talk) 01:59, August 24, 2018 (UTC)
 * Then the image should be changed. The knife pictured is the Dwemer knife, not the iron knives on dining tables, etc. TheRealMictlantecuhtli (talk) 13:53, August 24, 2018 (UTC)

Honeyside
It makes the house very annoying when you step outside and everyone in the city dies. A very big disadvantage. TheRealMictlantecuhtli (talk) 00:40, September 3, 2018 (UTC)

Morrowind NPCs
I just saw that mention on discord server, sorry for a late response. It was an error, so I should apologize for causing a mess you had to clean as a patroller. Due to bad sources, I came to think that most of the information I added to NPC pages was incorrect, so I tried to fix it. As it turned out what I thought would fix my mistakes was a mistake itself. Again, sorry for that, it must have been very annoying. Dwemer35 (talk) 19:00, September 4, 2018 (UTC)

Kellen
The reason the dialogues were removed is because they were clogging the page, making it look really messy. In my opinion, Kellen has way too many dialogues for a character page, and listing them all seems unnececary, as most of the dialogues can be found on Quest pages. --DreamSoulshine (talk) 17:43, September 5, 2018 (UTC)

Soul Gems
What is it this time? Automatons are random too. TheRealMictlantecuhtli (talk) 21:21, September 21, 2018 (UTC)
 * The location of the chests is not random, the quality of the gem is random, however there is always a soul gem in the three chests. Buying gems produce random quality, as well as killing automatons which are not even guaranteed to drop a soul gem. TheRealMictlantecuhtli (talk) 21:36, September 21, 2018 (UTC)

Links in Section Headers
There is nothing in Style and Formatting which supports your assertion that links should not be in headers. DaBarkspawn (talk) 20:08, September 29, 2018 (UTC)

Arena Image Licensing
Whatever you are trying to do with the images I uploaded, it isn't working. All you are doing is creating empty, redundant licensing sections. DaBarkspawn (talk) 14:53, October 9, 2018 (UTC)
 * See here: https://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/File:Arena_Blacksmith.png?diff=next&oldid=2751223 DaBarkspawn (talk) 15:04, October 9, 2018 (UTC)
 * Yep, I saw the edit. BTW, I notice that this template does not appear in https://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Templates, so I think there should be a subcat for Arena Templates and each also included in the main. I literally had to hack a URL from a different template in order to find ArenaCharacterImages. DaBarkspawn (talk) 15:16, October 9, 2018 (UTC)

Missing In Action
I can confirm it hasn't. It is a mod called Cutting Room Floor. TheRealMictlantecuhtli (talk) 16:07, October 12, 2018 (UTC)
 * The mod also restores the Ancient Traveler's Skull boss, etc. You pick up the skull and his ghost appears and attacks. There wasn't enough left of recruitable giants to restore as part of your civil war faction army or get as a follower though. Which would have been really cool. TheRealMictlantecuhtli (talk) 12:36, October 13, 2018 (UTC)

Edits
I’ll stop editing then. Thank you for your time.Loremaster Celarus (talk) 16:41, October 22, 2018 (UTC)
 * On second thought, I've had a look at the guidelines re: writing articles and they say that my lede should be even longer than its current one. Furthermore, the point of the intro paragraph is to summarize the character being covered, which is precisely what my lede does. I'll contine to write the same type of introductions that can be found on any other wiki (i.e. Wikipedia, Wookiepedia, etc.) of good repute. Loremaster Celarus (talk) 17:43, October 22, 2018 (UTC)

Re: Uploading images
Thanks for pointing out the errors in my image edits. However, I'm still a little confused. I have a couple of questions.
 * What is the destination filename?
 * What is the liscensing tempelate?
 * If I could get google images without a HUD would that be alright?

Thanks

Masidillia (talk) 21:39, October 27, 2018 (UTC)Masidillia


 * Thanks for explaining it again. I understand what I did wrong and what I need to do in the future. Sorry about the mistakes I made and I'll be sure to avoid those next time.

Messing up Links
Hey, so in my recent edits, I added a bug section to the page Followers (Oblivion). I butchured the links and stuff. Can you please fix that?

Sections
Hello,

When I edited the article Frothar I saw two sections for his words: Conversations and Quotes. But in other articles such as Dagoth Odros I see that it writes Dialogue instead. Which name is correct for the NPC's speeches?

Thank you,

Hist/Sleeping Tree Sap
Both belong to the catagory of narcotic and both come from a tree in-game. I feel that warrents some form of correlation imo. Tastefulnoodz (talk) 22:46, November 23, 2018 (UTC)

Worship(p)ers
Hi, Rozty

Do you know whether Worshiper (Morrowind), and Worshiper (Skyrim) are intentionally misspelled because they appear that way in-game, or if the misspelling was introduced by the wiki?

1857a (talk) 19:23, November 25, 2018 (UTC)


 * It is spelled correctly in the RefIDs, e.g. mehrunesworshipper_f01 and in the name field of the CS: https://imgur.com/a/KKP8U3R .DaBarkspawn (talk) 19:32, November 25, 2018 (UTC)

Re: ESO book pages
Thanks, got it. Having the Summary didn't make too much sense to me anyway, I always had to copy the Author and Collection twice when creating a page... But not anymore! :) Thifike (talk) 23:14, November 25, 2018 (UTC)
