Patroller template
Hey ! Some pretty cool news. Recently, we created a new user page template for patrollers of TESWiki! We need you to post it on your user page. Consider it a badge of honor and promise of commitment to the wiki! Here it is: Patroller. Thanks so much! And don't forget to look over our walkthrough for your new custodian abilities. Cheers and happy editing from your friendly neighbor admin dude. - 00:11, July 19, 2012 (UTC)

 * Hey, GramsJ! Your Patroller template doesn't appear to be displaying correctly, as it's adding categories as if it's using the source code of the Patroller template. You just need to added the tag to your page. — TombRaiser   SPEAK!  05:26, July 19, 2012 (UTC)

DwemerBot
When you have a free moment, could you do me a favor and run Dwemer through the bot tasks at the bottom of Veetor's talk page. You can skip over the Category:Maintenance templates, if you think it's too delicate of an edit. Thanks a million. Time for me to turn into a pumpkin. Take care, Jan. :) -- 06:43, July 25, 2012 (UTC)

RE:Game titles in the lead
As no policy or precedent yet exists on whether game titles should be included in an article's lead, I cannot say with certainty what should be done. It is, however, established style to include an "appearances" section at the bottom of an article. This helps readers know which game the object, person, thing etc. appears in. Parenthetical phrases attached to disambiguated pages also help: Conjuration (Skyrim) obviously has nothing to do with Conjuration in Morrowind. :P I would say, however, that something like Dragon Shouts should mention in the lead, as the feature only appears in Skyrim. Consistency is the best, but in some instances, I would say that mentioning the game title detracts from the page. Mostly, this revolves around our style of writing pages as if they were historical documents. In other words, mentioning that such and such person appears in Shivering Isles makes the person seem less real and more of a game character, than we intend tone-wise. I would say, definitely add it on item, weapon, and armor articles since most of those are OOU (out-of-universe) articles. But, things such as character biographies should omit them and mentions to things like "quests". Does this make sense? If you feel strongly that the opposite is true, please voice your opinion. I'm rooting for what's best for the wiki. Which may or may not align with my convictions. :) -- 23:43, July 26, 2012 (UTC)


 * P.S. Almost time to archive your talk page, don't you think? :P -- 23:45, July 26, 2012 (UTC)
