Page rename request
Hi,

I'd like to ask your help with a rename described in this blog post: User blog:Thifike/Writ of Endorsement should be renamed to Magister's Writ.

Thanks, Thifike (talk) 21:05, September 10, 2018 (UTC)


 * Thank you, this makes sense. Thifike (talk) 16:51, September 12, 2018 (UTC)

Re: Skill Cap
Incidentally that's generally why I stay away from that because I know I have a 50/50 chance of gettng it right about when it's supposed to be cap'd since sometimes it doesn't make sense to me when I see it cap'd and sometimes not cap'd in the same area. Thanks for being polite about it. Shane for Wax (Speak back) 03:18, September 14, 2018 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately, the public nature of messages on the wiki make it to where I am very shy about asking for fear of sounding stupid in front of the whole wiki. Though I guess while I am here I should ask if Draugr counts as a race and thus are a proper noun in articles or not. Since on the article for them itself has the name not capitalized in some places and cap'd in others and usually I use those kinds of articles to tell for later.

 * Unfortunately my anxiety doesn't see it that way haha. It just knows that everyone that comes along after can see the talk page too. So I presume that includes variants as well unless otherwise considered a unique version (like draugr wight versus like a named draugr), or it's in a list/spreadsheet form. I've always considered them a race but good to know. Though a little daunting because that means the article for them needs work, too since I've just looked at it again and one of the paragraphs has two different ways of writing them. Not the first time I've found a main article for something and seen it not clear anything up for me at all. lol Thank you! Good to know for the rest of the quests. I wish there was an extended list of what counts and what doesn't. [[File:Shaneforwaxsig.png]]Shane for Wax (Speak back) 21:33, September 18, 2018 (UTC)


 * Fair enough. Last bit of business for now I guess would be I started finishing the main quest line for the College of Winterhold and realized I couldn't tell if "Magic Anomalies" fell under creature rules or not and ran into the same issue as draugr haha so mainly left it alone (or tried to after realizing i couldnt tell. Some areas may need reversion but I am on tablet right now so i couldn't just use ctrl+click on all instances like i would on desktop to return to the original and didnt want to revert all the changes). And speaking of the quests page, is Dawnguard meant to show up on that page and out of order like that? The quests page for Dawnguard has a completely different order so it feels really disjointed looking between the two. I am more curious than anything cause of how odd it is to see especially because it is shown as just being a faction line instead of DLC because it has no visual distinction from the others. And the paragraphs at the top implied that Dawnguard quests wouldnt be on that page at all. The talk page seemed to have stalled out when it was brought up about the dlc quests. [[File:Shaneforwaxsig.png]]Shane for Wax (Speak back) 05:53, September 19, 2018 (UTC)


 * No worries, haha. I didn't want to touch it in case I was missing some "Wiki Lore" about how Dawnguard quests belong on that page because they're mostly done on the main map or something. Though I feel if they've been on there so long it may just be best to keep it but at least fix the order so it's proper timeline wise and in line with what the Dawnguard quest page itself has if everything else stays as is. It's not a big deal to me personally but I won't be messing with it since that seems like a staff thing to do. [[File:Shaneforwaxsig.png]]Shane for Wax (Speak back) 01:53, September 25, 2018 (UTC)

Arena Images
In pursuit of improving my Tamrielic Lore Skill ;) I've attempted to start playing the games from the beginning, that is, with Arena. Right now, not very successfully... the Arena starting prison is very tough. Anyway, I noticed that all of the place pages for Arena say "Have a world map of this location? Then please upload it!" with the image needed category and yet, as far as I can tell, the province map is the best map the game has. The only other map is the full Tamriel map:



I could slice that up in an image editor, but I think it would be less detailed rather than more. So, I propose removing those tags - it's as good as its gonna get. DaBarkspawn (talk) 22:49, September 23, 2018 (UTC)


 * Yes, those zoom in images are the ones I am saying are the best we can do. Take Black Marsh (Arena) for example. That image was taken using the zoom in method you described, with the zoom in on the capital city of Helstrom. Yet the page still requests better images and it isn't clear to me at all how one would get a better image of Black Marsh in Arena than that one. DaBarkspawn (talk) 23:29, September 23, 2018 (UTC)


 * Ah, okay. Will post images... assuming I ever get out of the prison. ;) DaBarkspawn (talk) 02:37, September 24, 2018 (UTC)

Uploads
Hello there

i have a question about uploading pictures to articles (TES)

when uploading a picture does it just change like edits?

or does it need to be applied

i uploaded a world map for ashunartes (TES 3) yeserday and i am sure that i pressed he upload button

thanks for your timeElzengy (talk) 19:25, September 28, 2018 (UTC)

 * thanks for your time

Redlinks
Hey, Atv. Thanks for the comment. I looked up the style guide on linking and you are right about redlinks preceding articles. But there is really an underlying problem around when a redlink should be formed. Here's the thing in the case at hand: there appears from all I can tell and google search, only one shift gate in Arena. It occurs at the end of the Imperial Dungeons and the Escape From Prison Quest. I absolutely grant the position that it deserves its own section on the walkthrough, what I contest is why such a minor, one-off element deserves its own page. DaBarkspawn (talk) 22:08, September 29, 2018 (UTC)

Town Locations Proposal
As I was editing the Heldorn Mount page, I came to realize that there are really two kinds of useful maps for towns and some other locations. One is the "How do I find this place?" map, which is a section of the world map with the location highlighted in some way. The other is the interior map of the location. Unfortunately, the template only allows for one map. Would it be hard to change the template to allow for an interior map and an exterior map in the infobox? DaBarkspawn (talk) 02:51, October 2, 2018 (UTC)
 * Perfect! Many thanks for the tip! DaBarkspawn (talk) 06:09, October 2, 2018 (UTC)

Appearances Scoping
If a location appears in multiple games, we've decided to have multiple pages, one for each combination of {location,game}. If the page for a location in a game should only have information about that location pertaining to that page, does that mean that the Appearances section should only list appearances in that game or should all of the location's pages contain duplicate Appearances sections which cover all possible games? DaBarkspawn (talk) 16:43, October 3, 2018 (UTC)
 * Got it, thanks. If I don't know the citation for a mention, I'm going to assume good faith and copy the appearance line to a different page that is missing it. If I know it, of course, I will add it. DaBarkspawn (talk) 19:38, October 3, 2018 (UTC)

Factual correction
On the page for Ulves Romoran, trivia states that he is the only resident of Tel Mithryn that is not essential. This is incorrect, as Talvas Fathyron is also a non essential character. He has protected status, and a high damage resistance, but still is not essential. ElRey81188 (talk) 19:12, October 5, 2018 (UTC)ElRey

Pelagius Septim
It may just be that I'm overlooking something, but why does it say that Pelagius Septim was as strong as a ruler as his father, when he succeeded Tiber Septim? It must mean that it's his grandfather that it's referring to? I apologize if I'm missing something from this. ThunderStar321 (talk) 01:25, October 7, 2018 (UTC)

Potentially stupid q abt Hall of the Dead
Should the first instance of Hall of the Dead on the Skyrim locations page point to the disambiguation page? Also should it still be mentioned under all the other cities a Hall of the Dead can be found? as it stands, only one city has it under their location list on the main locations page. Is this an instance of "only one mention even if found in multiple locations" that is sometimes in place? I couldn't find a precedent here for it. Though potentially it could follow the stables and have their own section, separate from the Holds listings, maybe? I wanted to ask before doing an overhaul. Shane for Wax (Speak back) 12:50, October 10, 2018 (UTC)


 * So it used to be like the Shrines of Talos but got changed over before I did much on the wiki. Good to know. When I finally feel well enough to get on the computer I will see about fixing the linkages. Thank you. [[File:Shaneforwaxsig.png]]Shane for Wax (Speak back) 13:11, October 11, 2018 (UTC)

Re: Book lists
Ack. :)

Thifike (talk) 15:58, October 18, 2018 (UTC)


 * Actually I have a question. Let's take Cyrodiil as an example. When I found an image for a book and correct the location of that particular book according to your request i should go up the hierarchy of locations and add the book everywhere. Take a look at this:


 * Minutes of the Elder Council:


 * 1) I added a link to the Lambent Passage page, which i assume is correct.
 * 2) I added a new section Notable Items to the Imperial City Sewers page and added the book.
 * 3) According to your request I should also add the book to Cyrodiil's page, however it doesn't seem right to me. The region is so huge, it should have been filled with hundreds of books and shouldn't I be the one creating the Notable Items section on the page. Or should I?


 * What is your recommendation?
 * Thifike (talk) 16:25, October 18, 2018 (UTC)


 * Ack again. :)

Legends cards uploaded
Howdy :)

I've gone through and updated all the Legends cards that had pages. I've also uploaded all the card images that didn't have any associated pages. I've listed them all here; to the right are the image files and to the left are the (red-linked) pages that need to be built. Hopefully I've got all the correct file names - if not, just appending (Legends) should work.

I'm currently swamped with games coming out that I need to cover :P The earliest I could help with those pages would be mid-November. If that time rolls around and they're not created, feel free to swing by and give me a poke! Raylan13 ( talk ) 18:06, October 25, 2018 (UTC)

Lydia
So the other day I was editing the page Lydia (Skyrim), and I added a part that said something along the lines of "she can not be used as a follower after marriage". I looked back on it today, and saw that it needs confromation. It's just something that I noticed when playing, so how do I confirm it?

Thanks

 * I got your response, and I don't know of any other editor that'd be able to confirm. TNR doesn't edit really, and he's the only one I know that could. So if I were to ask in the discussions if anybody else has expirenced that problem, would that be enough if I got one or two to say yes?

Failsafes
Hello Atvelonis,

I have recently added information to the The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Side Quest page. The information I added was in relation to a quest that was missing from the Leyawin section; "Buying a House in Leyawin".

This is the first time I've ever altered any information on any Wiki found online. I am very passionate about the preservation of video games. That also includes any information documented on them, so that future generations can gain insight on past titles if they so desire.

I was pleased with how easy it was to add information to the Side Quest page. However I am concerned that a user could easily alter information with malicious intent.

I just wanted to ask if there are any fail safes should such an attack be made?

P.S. Thank you for assisting in keeping this website together, it has proven very helpful in completing all the Quests that Oblivion has to offer.

Yours sincerely,

Wikis in other languages
Hi,

The Georgian-language wiki that should be located at http://ka.elderscrolls.wikia.com/ is "not a valid community." I think there's no point in it being linked anymore.

While we're on this topic, I'd like to point out that there is an alternative Ukrainian-language wiki at http://uk.tes.wikia.com/. It links to all the other languages, including us, while everywhere else links to the older Ukrainian wiki at http://uk.elderscrolls.wikia.com/. Both wikis are active, so it's a bit of a conundrum as to which version we should link to.

Duplicates
Hi, Atvelonis,

Bot linking
Hi, Atvelonis

I have a list of 290 Daggerfall city pages that need interwiki links to Italian. I'm pretty sure that all the Italian page names are identical to English (I've gone through them and removed any that differ). Is it possible to have a bot do this task?

Also, a small number of these 290 pages already have Italian links which I manually added.
