Chat Policy Typo
Hey Ðe C@ Master, just wanted to run this by you right quick. There's a typo on the Roleplaying section of the Chat rules. The statement "Roleplay is defined as pretending to be a character from some form of media, a made of identity, or typing out all of your actions." should have "a made up identity" and not what it currently says. I asked Shawn, who wrote the chat rules for the community to vote on a while back, and he confirmed the typo for me. If you get a moment, please correct it. Sorry this is so minor. Thanks C@.

Orphaned pages
Hello, I just cleared the Orphaned pages except for the Drillmaster disambiguation page. It contains 2 articles for the Morrowind and Oblivion, but both of them are redirects, so there is no way to add template. I'm leaving it for the staff to decide where to link it from. --Rupuzioks (talk) 13:50, September 10, 2017 (UTC)

Re: Anon
Yeah, that was me. Wikia was going ballistic for some reason and labeled me as signed out when I submitted it. Usual weird bugs. Thanks for mentioning it though The Crusader of Truth (talk – chat) 23:35, September 10, 2017 (UTC)

Random tip
Hey Cat, saw you working on protection stuff from the moot yesterday. Since you're batching a bunch of pages, I'd recommend you may want to take a look at this, if you haven't seen it. I believe it will save you a ton of time. It's a JavaScript tool that can take a list of pages (Or in our case, categories) and can mark them as auto-confirmed edit only. The list should go by way faster than doing them by hand. Hope this helps The Crusader of Truth (talk – chat) 14:11, September 16, 2017 (UTC)


 * I don't like to leave a second message before you even reply, but I think it's worth it in this case. I realized I can easily generate a list for you using AWB. The list will be found here. You can just copy/paste it into the JavaScript tool and it should be able to get every category that's connected to Category:Browse (which should be everything). Should make the job super easy if it works correctly. The Crusader of Truth (talk – chat) 14:43, September 16, 2017 (UTC)

Recent Ban
Hello, Cat Master. Hope all is well in the world of wikia, but I was recently notified that Tim has received a month-long ban regarding his linking to a Discord account, which apparently amounts to harrasement  (at least, that's what he's told me). According to him, Kora has done the same thing with little trouble, so in the spirit of fairness, I wanted to get to the bottom of this and see what can be done on their behalf. I would like to hear the full story and, if possible, see our policies about linking to things like the Discord chat.

I know Tim has been in spots of trouble lately, but I don't want us to devolve into harsher punishments because we've been getting fed up or something.

I appreciate your response. As always, stay mad.

 * Tim abused his admin powers *after* agreeing to step down (but he kept his bcrat rights). Then he decided to slander the wiki and its editors multiple times wherever he could. This has continued for weeks. Then he decided to promote a different wiki on ours (both in mainspace and /d). It's not about "linking to Discord chat", and anyways it's blatantly obvious that he was interested in helping the wiki after his repeated tantrums. Also, Cat's response wasn't as harsh as what others were pushing for. It's not like he just decided to ban Tim on a whim. --Shockstorm (talk) 00:09, September 17, 2017 (UTC)


 * I have no doubt Cat did what he believed necessary. I am aware of his recent antics thanks to Carlo, and was present when he stepped down from the Wikia. It's disappointing to hear that he has continued to act this way. I did see on his chat something about merging wikis. Is that what you're talking about when you mentioned promoting a different wikia? Was it the UESP? Anyway, I was just inquiring to see that no one was being banned for trivial reasons, but if his behavior has not been on the mend, I support the decision to ban him for a month.  Thanks again, Madman97 (talk) 00:50, September 17, 2017 (UTC)

About something....
Peace be upon you, Mister Cat, I just wanted to ask about some matter...

I am writing my second novel, so I wanted you and admins to just review a certain excerpt which I will provide if you wish. I wanted to get your opinions on it. But, I think it would count as spam if I simply posted it here on your talk page, so what shall I do?

And, as always, stay peaceful ✌🙂

Blocking User:Emen383
Hey Cat Master. I noticed you blocked this user. I wanted to ask you some things about this block. But before I ask I just wanted to say a couple of things. First off, I know they created an application for administrator, though obviously not meeting the requirements. Second, he was chat for spamming people's PM's, and as you are probably aware of he was chat banned. Now I wanna why he was blocked for a week for "spam"? He was not warned firsthand he was blocked without any explanation whatsoever on your part. I don't think adding one bad page warrents a week one block. Could you at the very least inform him of his mistake. Thanks. Starkiller131 (talk) 05:34, September 17, 2017 (UTC)

Edits' Answer
Hello The Cat Master,

Sorry for adding the word "hold" on each page of the places I have modified. I didn't know it was useless since I just wanted to do well, since the word "Hold" was added on many pages of places.

In advance, I will try to go back to the pages where I added "Hold" to remove it. Still sorry.

Good night to you and good continuation on the Wikia.

PS : Sorry for my bad English, I am a great contributor on the French Wikia.

AkulakhanBot
Hey Lord of Felines,

I'm just curious about the situation with the AkulakhanBot. It's because I like to have that on standby whenever I do something like I did with the Thirsk Mead Hall. Is there a way to have it operating without having Atvelonis active or have another admin working it. Thanks for the help. --Vincentius1 (talk) 00:52, September 18, 2017 (UTC)

Request
Hello, Shockstorm requested to restore Shockstorm Siroc Stormborn.png image here. Because now it is showing at Wanted photos special page. --Rupuzioks (talk) 14:40, September 19, 2017 (UTC)

Re: Retcons
That isn't exactly a retcon. Retcons are when you take an already established idea and you give it more information like a retelling. But what's interesting about that book is that it is one of many books that seemingly time travel like the Harvest's End (2E Book) which is referencing the Battlespire story. I should make a list of stuff like that. Thanks for letting me know. --Vincentius1 (talk) 20:05, September 19, 2017 (UTC)

Bravil
Hey Cat,

I saw you create those seperate Bravil pages, and was wondering if you realised we already had a page including them? Bravil: Daughter of the Niben, includes both volumes on its page, and they're practically the same book.

Of course, you're an Admin, so if there's another reason you created those pages, just ignore this message. See ya around, Blademaster Jauffre (talk) 20:34, September 20, 2017 (UTC)

Location IDs
I just searched through the last six moot records and did not find a reference to this changing of font size for LocationIDs. I searched each transcript for 'small' and 'locationid' and found nothing. Could you please provide a more specific reference to this decision? The Location ID looks fine to me on my screen on the previous version as can be seen at User_talk:DaBarkspawn. DaBarkspawn (talk) 15:01, September 21, 2017 (UTC)

New message
Hi! I'm one of the admins on another wiki. May I ask how did you manage to highlight specific users' names in edits history? It looks so awesome!

Well, the whole wiki looks awesome :) There's so much to learn about wiki editing... It's inspiring :)

Loremaster's Archive
Hey Cat,

I was wondering if we could add the Loremaster's Archive from ESO to the wiki? I mean, technically it is out-of-game, but at the same time, they are official works.

Since they can only be found on ESO's site, I thought maybe that's the reason why we haven't included them? We do have a category for books mentioned specifically in the Loremaster's Archive, so I'm certain that we do acknowledge them in some way? But if that's the case, why not add the entire archive? Or is that for reasons that I just didn't think of?

I await your answer, thanks in advance,
 * Blademaster Jauffre (talk) 21:56, September 23, 2017 (UTC)


 * Great, I'll start adding them tomorrow, thanks for letting me know.

Need some help
Hey, can you please add the template that I am working on this article? I have a ton to add on to it, but right now I have a person in the house who is better off two meters underground than to still be alive, and will not 'kindly fuck off', so I may have to do that later. Cheers.

Dialogue in Morrowind
Hey Cat,

Since the wiki has (close to) no dialogue from, I was wondering if I could make a page for it, or add dialogue to a page? I know that Okan-Shei has the most in-depth dialogue in TES III, but I hesitate to add all the dialogue that I have found in Morrowind to his page... due to it being a bit of overkill on one page, and leaving the other pages with close to nothing on them...

(PS: I am, of course, referring to dialogue unrelated to quests.)

Please, let me know what you think, Blademaster Jauffre (talk) 21:44, September 26, 2017 (UTC)

I added some of Okan-Shei's dialogue, and it's a lot. I'd like your input on how to continue, should I keep going in the same way I started? Or is a different course of action wise? I already sent Atvelonis a message, but was curious what you think as well. Blademaster Jauffre (talk) 19:54, September 28, 2017 (UTC)

Battle of Whiterun
It was literally two edits between me and sports, not much of a war.... Seems like overreacting tbh...

Starting to wonder why I even bother adding stuff, when the first thing I get for contributing to lore articles is a threat.... Blademaster Jauffre (talk) 13:57, September 29, 2017 (UTC)

Fair enough, but just locking a page following an edit war also doesn't seem like the way to go, it should have an Admin's pov on the matter. In previous pages that have been locked between me and Sports, either one of our claims were left intact. I won't go and say my edits are false, but the matter of fact is that it looks like the pages just get locked, without having a third mind on the matter.

Maybe that's just my pov though, Blademaster Jauffre (talk) 14:39, September 29, 2017 (UTC)

Creation Club content
I saw your revert on the Stendarr's Hammer page, how come we're not covering the CC content?  DRAEVAN13 18:26, October 5, 2017 (UTC)


 * @TheCatMaster, CC Content is Canon, if you didn't know... --Abdus Sami Yousufi (talk) 08:13, October 6, 2017 (UTC)


 * "Yeah we're definitely not going to be documenting any mods from the Creation Club.
 * Not worth our time, or our readers' attention."
 * -Atvelonis, TESwiki discord, general, 28-09-2017


 * I hope that answers your question, Draevan, Abdus,
 * Blademaster Jauffre (talk) 12:45, October 6, 2017 (UTC)


 * To elaborate on that, as far as I am aware, it has been previously decided that mods from the Creation Club will not be documented in any way, shape, or form on the wiki because this wiki only caters to official game content plus DLCs, not mods (regardless if they were officialy sanctioned by Bethesda). There is a separate TES mods wiki that specializes in mods. CC mods are also still not canon, from what I've heard.


 * BTW, Abdus, you are still being rude to this wiki's staff. Aside from your last edit that looks like you are assuming you think you know things that staff doesn't, you do still give this wiki's staff demands/requests/criticisms/lectures on wiki policies without even bothering to inquire why the current policies have been structured this way to begin with. Although Moot topics can be added by anyone who's attending, it shouldn't mean anyone can add any topic whenever they want to without even consulting other editors/staff. The most noticeable agenda you have as of late is your "request" to allow speculation on articles just because you have gotten in trouble for repeatedly posting speculation on the wiki. All of these "requests" of yours are for the benefit of your own personal agenda and not of the wikis'.

Say what you wish in abuse of me, for my silence towards the idiot is indeed an answer. I am not at a loss for a response but rather, It does not befit the lion to answer the dogs. Imam Shafi’i (Allah preserve him) --Abdus Sami Yousufi (talk) 04:19, October 7, 2017 (UTC)

Letter of Inheritence image

Something very important
Hey Cat Master,

I have a very important question that I think that only you can answer. How do you pronounce "Houston." Do you pronounce it like House, like "Houseton," or do you pronounce it like Hugh, like "Hughston." I'm asking because I take the New York Subway on my way to school, and one of the stops is Houston Street. Every time the train reaches the station, the announcer would call it "Houseton Street," but I've always thought it was pronounced Hughston. Can you clear this up, and if anyone else from Texas, sees this, can you respond on my talk page. It's always something I think about everytime I pass that station. Thanks, sorry to bother you. --Vincentius1 (talk) 00:16, October 12, 2017 (UTC)


 * I knew it! Because Houseton sounds stupid and doesn't sound as nice as Hughston. Thank you for clearing that up. --Vincentius1 (talk) 00:53, October 12, 2017 (UTC)

Tiber Septim article Blademaster Jauffre's distortion of narrative.
So apparently, Blademaster Jauffre is doing whatever he can to set a narrative that Tiber Septim is not a Nord despite evidence and is removing sourced supporting details. You don't want an edit war, fine. Then you revert his edits because those details were fine as is. Furthermore, do you condone sections questioning reliability of the books content that Blademaster Jauffre is adding to the Nords Arise! article? Because if so, I also have some articles where I'd like to question the validity of.(Sports72Xtrm (talk) 17:26, November 7, 2017 (UTC))
