Colorful Names
How can I change the color of my name and the tabs of my "profile"? Or is this exclusive to Administrators? Sincerely, Tim to the Adams (talk) 02:44, January 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * That's Exactly what i was going to ask. 03:19, January 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * I'll respond here so both of you can see it. The colors are for TESWiki:STAFF. Green is admin, yellow is vandalism patroller, purple is bot, and orange is IRC. At this time, we do not have the option open for vanilla users to change the color of their name; this color coding helps other users identify the staff here at TESWiki. However, you do have the option to customize your own signature with color. Please do not pick anything too boisterous or loud. See this guide on how to customize your signatures: Cheers~! --— Deyvid Petteys   (bother \   stalk)  03:00, January 1, 2012 (UTC)

oh, ok, i'm going to go over to the borderlands wiki and see if i can get the admins there to do something about it because i want colorful text on my profile as well as the star i already have in the chat (i'm a chatmod over there). 03:19, January 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * could you please tell me how to do it so i can pass it on to the BL wiki sysops. 03:28, January 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * Sure. I didn't write the script myself, but you can see it here: MediaWiki:Wikia.css. You have to add it there and here: MediaWiki:Common.css. --— Deyvid Petteys  (bother \   stalk)  03:31, January 1, 2012 (UTC)

 * I don't know about that; your edit count is pretty high :). Thanks you guys. I really enjoy this wiki. It's an honor to be Member of the Month as well as an admin here. --— Deyvid Petteys  (bother \   stalk)  18:29, January 1, 2012 (UTC)

 * Hi, i just wanted to congrat you for beeing Admit and also Motm .I must say that you really deserved both these things and it wasn't much a surprise after all :). Happy editing and all the stuff that admins do. Vercinghetorix (talk) 22:45, January 5, 2012 (UTC)



Edit review
Say, when you got a moment, can you take a look at my edit/update of Avanchnzel and give me a honest critique of it. Just curious to see if I did good and where I may have messed up. Thanks. Neguy71inok (talk) 02:22, January 2, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the feedback. I prefer Summary over Description for most of the time, not sure why I used description this time. As to the sublocations, I was tempted to make the sublocation pages, the reason I put the links, but then I got done and decided they wouldn't be big enough. To me its a fine line as to whether or not a sublocation should get its own page. I think if the main area/page is huge and has large sublocations with alot of information for them as well, then subpages are needed. Like with Whiterun and Dragonsreach versus Haemar's Shame versus Haemar's Cavern. Just not sure where the defining line should be. Again, thank you. Neguy71inok (talk) 19:40, January 2, 2012 (UTC)

Dragonborn
Hello. Is there a way to block an anon user from commenting on my page? Its the same anon that was disrupting the Dragondborn article. Cheers  Lee VEGETA  talk 19:21, January 2, 2012 (UTC)
 * Re: Technically, I can't block him for being "wrong", so I've decided to inform him and give him a warning. I can block him for being disruptive or disrespectful. So we'll see what happens from there. Additionally, I've locked your talk page, so only autoconfirmed users can edit it. Let me, or another Admin know if you want this changed. --— Deyvid Petteys  (bother \   stalk)  19:30, January 2, 2012 (UTC)


 * That's sound is that. Thank you [[Image:Blood_Frenzy.png|30px|link=User:LeeVEGETA]] Lee VEGETA  talk 19:39, January 2, 2012 (UTC)

Stuck in quest
I was pointed in this direction on some chat site, saying you might be able to help. I'm doing the conjurer master quest in skyrim and i can't get the unbound dremora to get summoned for the third time. I just read that i would have to defeat him three times for him to obey me, so there should be a way. Unfortunately my last savegame is several dragons and at least 8 (i guess) conjuration levels down, so i really don't want to redo that. Is there an alternative?

(hopefully i'm doing this talk page thing right, excuse me otherwise)


 * You're doing alright, just remember to sign talkpages with four tildes (~). At any rate, I wish I could offer you advice or a solution, but I haven't yet completed this quest. Sorry. Try asking another Staff member about it. :( --— Deyvid Petteys  (bother \   stalk)  00:09, January 3, 2012 (UTC)

Dragon's tongue
Hey man, I'm reorganizing the Dragon's Tongue page a little bit. If you wanna see what I'm at, look at Fly Amanita (Oblivion). Essentially, I want the page entitled "Dragon's Tongue Plant" to have all its content moved to "Dragon's Tongue (Oblivion)" because I made a disambiguation page that links to that one and the one for the Skyrim ingredient of the same name. Just telling you in order to avoid a mixup while editing. Peace.

No harm done, you just turned the Dragon's Tongue Plant into a redirect page, I was planning on doing it myself but you helped anyway, so no big. Cheers! SimonKTemplar (talk) 00:53, January 3, 2012 (UTC)

Hey Deyvid

Wanted to say sorry for my mistakes you took care of in the process of fixing my wrong doing and it wont happen again

Follower Help
Hey, I really need help on finding my follower/housecarl Lydia.

I was somewhere in Skyrim, and I told her to "wait here", I left her, forgetting to come back, and now she's still in that spot. Problem is, I forgot where that spot was. Is there any way I can get her back without literally looking all over the map for her? I really need a follower sometimes, and when I've asked other people, they say I already have someone with me. I've checked Dragonsreach and Breezehome and she wasn't there. Thanks. D3T&amp;FS (talk) 23:08, January 3, 2012 (UTC)

Grats
Congrats on being member of the month! Winnersusedrugs (talk) 03:00, January 4, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks - Sorry I'm so slow
Heya Deyvid. Boy, you're on the ball and editing pages faster than I was able to get to them. :) My apologies. A medical procedure kept me from completing the work on the Daggers pages yesterday. I plan on finishing the work needed to return the Daggers (Oblivion) page to its former appearance today. What's there now is a copy & paste from the history file, and it didn't turn out the way it should have. I'm still learning this wiki editing stuff. I didn't mean to leave that mess for you to clean up. I'm sure you have plenty to do without that. Keep up the great work, though, and I'll try to keep ahead of you on my next "project." GramsJ (talk) 17:17, January 4, 2012 (UTC)

The Daggers_(Oblivion) page is fixed, now. I have one more thing to do, then I think I'll be done with Daggers, or to be more precise, Daggers_(Skyrim). GramsJ (talk) 19:52, January 4, 2012 (UTC)

Quest Page help
Can you take a look at the history for Quests (Skyrim) page, its got a bunch of nonsense changes it seems, and User: Juhoran changing the page language. Some others came in and fixed it up, but it was getting to be a mess. Not sure if anything should be done about it, up to you. Neguy71inok (talk) 00:08, January 5, 2012 (UTC)

Forelhost
I apologize if I screw something up, you guys don't make it easy to leave a message here lol, and I don't know if I'm doing it correctly. Anyway, I just finished the dungeon Forelhost, and the quest you receive from Capt Valmir outside just before you enter the dungeon. Please note that after you finish the quest and go back outside to give him the mask, Capt Valmir is talking to another person who turns out to be a soldier for the Stormcloaks - hope I spelled that correctly. I got there late and missed most of the discussion between them. A fight starts, and Capt Valmir turns on you and you have to kill him. Turns out he's a Stormcloak, also, and was just masquerading as an imperial officer. Thought you should know since this is a significant change to the information that is provided in the wiki. There's also a note near his tent that orders him to obtain the mask.

If you need to talk to me, I'm on the Skyrim forum, as Eagle15 and you can leave in-game mail for me.

Regards,

E

Always remember to leave messages at the very bottom of the talk page and sign your posts with four tildes (~). You can find more about editing talk pages at TESWiki:TALK. That aside, looking over Captain Valmir's article, it already says that he is an Imperial Soldier, masquerading as a Stormcloak. I hope this is what you were referring to. --— Deyvid Petteys  (bother \   stalk)   01:42, January 6, 2012 (UTC)

Apparatus
Damn you're quick. I was going to go and make pages for them later today :) Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work•Skyrim To-Do List 08:42, January 7, 2012 (UTC)

A Newbie Question
Hello, Dayvid.

I am new around here, but recently I've been studying books and adding lore pages. Places, characters that are historicaly important, but not included in any pages. I saw you edit a page few minutes ago, so I decided that you're the perfect person to ask this.

There is an event mentioned in The Wolf Queen called North Wind's Prayer, I wanted to make page on it, but I have no idea what category should it be.

Thank you for your time,

Ikabite

I've got your back.
Yo Deyvid, well done on MOTM, I knew that creating MOTM was a good idea. Anyhoo, I see the Morrowind Character list is in a mess. Catergorys missing, Ect. Don't worry, Tim asked me to finish them ALL. So it's all good!

And a really big well done on becoming Admin! You deserve it. Commander Faol (talk) 00:56, January 8, 2012 (UTC)

Brewski!
Hey Rad, you've been kinda dead at good old Chrono Wiki. I really need to talk to you about a variety of things, so if you could just email me on my gmail or message me on youtube or something else, that'd be great.

We miss you man, message me.

File For Location Icon?
Hey there, I need help from a seasoned Skyrim player such as yourself. Do you have an image file for the icon used for quest markers? You know, the white box with a downward facing arrow? I no longer have a current Bethesda media login :( Winnersusedrugs (talk) 04:35, January 8, 2012 (UTC)

Random Fact
In a little while, I'm going to (with your permission), add pages for some (or most) of the weapons in Weapons (Morrowind). Unlike in Oblivion and Skyrim, very few of those can be found as randomised/leveled loot, and can be found at least once in caves (something that isnt guaranteed in the other games). Just wanted your opinion on it before I embark upon that. Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work•Skyrim To-Do List 05:47, January 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * Ah, it existed back in morrowind, but not in Oblivion. Some of them are fairly generic-ish. (i.e. a glass poisonsword, as you might expect is a glass sword with poison damage. However, it can be found in the Beran Ancestral Tomb, regardless of level. (They didnt have the randomise-everything thing back then. Only the creatures and some loot items were leveled). Its something I'm not ready to fully embark upon yet, because it will take a very long time to do Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work•Skyrim To-Do List 05:55, January 8, 2012 (UTC)

Character Names

 * IMHO, it should be whatever name they have in-game. For example, Legate Rikke is Legate Rikke in game, so they should probably be named as such. (That said, I think it would be smart to have Rikke redirect to Legate Rikke. (Same with the Jarls, etc). I am open to suggestions, with it though. Straw poll in the chatroom suggests that, say, Jarl Korir is the preferred name (Or whatever name is in-game) Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work•Skyrim To-Do List 06:02, January 8, 2012 (UTC)

Quest Icon
This was why I needed that image yesterday :) Winnersusedrugs (talk) 18:51, January 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * Hahaha! That's so funny. I want one for my door(s)! --— Deyvid Petteys  (bother \   stalk)  18:54, January 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * Heh heh maybe I'll send you one for free sometime just to be nice. I do that sometimes. Anyway, I'm pretty proud that I banged that out in less than an hour this morning! Pixel work can be hard! Winnersusedrugs (talk) 19:00, January 8, 2012 (UTC)

Image position within infobox
Hi Deyvid. I've been adding images to a few pages that needed them and have a question. I've noticed that when I add these images, there always seems to be a gap on the left side between the left border of the infobox and the left side of the image (see Leifur and Lodvar as examples). I've tried adjusting the width of the image to eliminate the gap, but that doesn't seem to fix it. Any ideas what I'm doing that I need to change? Thanks GramsJ (talk) 19:50, January 8, 2012 (UTC)

MorrowindArmor Template
Yeah, I know it was a different thing. I was copying the template over, and changing it later. Anyways, go have a look: User:Timeoin/Template:MorrowindArmor. Personally, I prefer the second one, because its collapsible (Or should be, unless I screwed up something) but the other one is pretty good too. I'd use it instead, but I don't know how to make it say some of the stuff that I wanted (item "health" and enchantnment potential are important factors for armor in Morrowind, unlike skyrim. Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work•Skyrim To-Do List 05:16, January 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * But then if you do that, you have to add a whole new field to the preload templates thingy (two, really: One for armor, and one for weapons). ;) As for the template itself - not really :P Ive been tweaking the morrowind locations one a little bit :P (It originally had "holds" listed in the template :P) Also, I just yesterday discovered a cool feature of the Construction Set: in the window that lists, say, all the armors (if that tab is selected), you can right click, and select "info", and it will tell you where it appears (i.e. which objects use it :D) Thats pretty awesome, I think :D) Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work•Skyrim To-Do List 05:29, January 10, 2012 (UTC)

Hi there!
Hey not seen you for a while, what's up?

I saw you added a new category to cities a while back like Skyrim: Windhelm so I took it a step further and made sub categories to that category so now we have a good breakdown of the City then the Location, Charactres and Quests within that city. I think it works well and is alot more organised - what do you think?

http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Skyrim:_Cities

I remember we talked about this a while ago, I think it's more advantageous rather that putting all Location, Charactres and Quests into 1 big category.

I have added a lot of the missing locations within all the cities, so I think we are good for that - every city is complete as of today, I think. I still need to add all the city quests though - so much to do!

Jimeee (talk) 14:39, January 13, 2012 (UTC)

Hi again
Hi, I need to remove the categories you added to the Oblivion page as they are one big cat and I'll be adding the seperate cats like this:

http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Oblivion:_Anvil

Cool?

Jimeee (talk) 16:20, January 13, 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes, that's true - but the reason I have did it this way is because it's easier to distinguish the categories across all the games/lore.


 * The only reason I started using "Skyrim: " was so it was easier for people to seperate all the Oblivion pages we have. It was quite mixed up before.


 * I agree it would look better to just get rid of the prefix, but i'm just thinking about uniformity throughout the wiki and the ease of use. What do you think?


 * Jimeee (talk) 16:37, January 13, 2012 (UTC)


 * You make a very good point Dayvid, it does make sense not to have a prefix - but I only prefixed all the Skyrim stuff as the Skyrim prefix was beign used in a million other places and it made it kinda consistent if everything to do with the game had the prefix.


 * Hmmm, I'm kinda not sure what to do now. I'm not sure if I need to go back and look at how the Skyrim location/characters/quests have been categorised. Maybe this needs to be changed without the prefix.
 * "Skyrim: Whiterun Locations" should become "Whiterun Locations" and "Skyrim: Whiterun" just "Whiterun" in the categories.


 * Should we talk to other editors/admins about this?

Hello. I've just noticed a load of videos going up for different spells and shouts, nothing informative about them, just showing the usage of them, they are being uploaded by User:TENSUKI Just letting you know just in case they need to be removed or not.

Another Category Question
Heya Deyvid. I'm using the categories listing to find pages that need images or other work. I ran across duplicate categories where the only difference is capitalization. You may already be aware of these, but I thought I would ask anyway. The ones in particular that I'm looking at are Heavy armor and Heavy Armor. What is the consensus regarding capitalization in this case? I've noticed that both terms are capitalized in game when Heavy Armor is referenced, so my preference would be Heavy Armor. I'll take on the task of changing the category on the appropriate pages. I just need to know what the consensus is. Depending on your answer, the category page may or may not need to be renamed. It is currently Heavy armor. Let me know. Thanks GramsJ (talk) 23:30, January 15, 2012 (UTC)

Remove category from page
Hi again Deyvid. I actually finished the category changes for the armor pages, and I'm looking for other problems in the category list. Of course I found one, but I'm not sure I can fix it myself (at least I can't figure out how). The page that needed a correction to category spelling is A_Dance_in_the_Fire,_Book_VII. The page is too complicated to edit in Visual mode, so I'm unsure how to delete or edit the misspelled category. What I've done is added the correctly spelled category (Oblivion: Skill Books), so now the incorrect one needs to be deleted. Please help? GramsJ (talk) 04:28, January 17, 2012 (UTC)
