Re: Reflists
I understand the idea of the scrolling refs list thing but it feels a little bit claustrophobic. It's not so open and kinda hard to focus on it. It would definitely decrease the size of the lists, but I don't think there's really even any reason to do that seeing as they're all the way at the bottom of the article anyway... there's nothing below them to look at.

SuperSajuuk pretty much just conjured up everything in the talkpage policy without really consulting anyone; we just haven't gotten around to looking over it yet. I would take anything in there with a grain of salt for the time being. —Atvelonis (talk) 04:08, December 18, 2015 (UTC)

Re: Daggerfall Guild
Hey Crusader, I have no probem with you taking over as guildmaster. I was only put up there because at the time the only people editing Daggerfall pages were me and Rim of the Sky, who didn't want to be guildmaster. I never thought I really should have been up there, considering how little I have actually done for the Daggerfall pages (all of the class pages, but very little else). So sure, go ahead. You've done a fair bit of work for it already, very few other people are working on it, so I see no problem. Remember to let Jar-Jar Binks or CCC know that you're taking over, though. Good luck, and happy new year! :) Emperor Maximus (talk) 10:12, January 2, 2016 (UTC)

RE: Uploading Photos
We prefer that images are in .PNG format rather than .JPG. You can find more info here that may help. Otherwise The image looks like a good quality one, and the name you gave it is good. The Cat Master (talk) 15:59, January 5, 2016 (UTC)

On Tamriel
About the Tamriel test cell page you made, you sure there's actually a single, isolated test cell named "Tamriel"? Because in the infobox ID, you wrote "BleakwindBasinExterior", and if it's just the location's exterior (not a separated test cell), the ID should be listed in the location's infobox. Just boggled my mind there for a sec, help me clean up the fog pls. 03:50, January 9, 2016 (UTC)

Screenshots
Just a good habit to have: when you're taking screenshots, it's best to take them during the day. Better lighting and all. Thanks. Happy editing! —Atvelonis (talk) 02:01, January 16, 2016 (UTC)

Re: Team Daggerfall
CCC and Jarjar were the ones who started up the guilds, so you can put them both as creators if you want. The guilds were created on February 2nd, 2015, so that date is correct. As guildmaster you have a lot of leeway when it comes to changing stuff up, so yes you can certainly change the colors and invite more users to the guild. There's no limit to how many people can be in it, but for the time being I'd recommend keeping it under ten. You're also allowed to kick out inactive users, but it would be a better idea to message them first and see if they still want to be a part of the guild. If so, then start planning projects together and whatnot. And of course, remember that you run the Daggerfall Guild now—so don't be afraid to make decisions yourself. —Atvelonis (talk) 07:14, January 18, 2016 (UTC)

Re: Invitation to Team Daggerfall
Hello Crusader of Truth. I would be honored to join Team Daggerfall! Although I am unfamiliar with adding sources, I will do my best in the future to put one in where it's needed. I am typically only active on weekends, but I feel that is within your given boundaries. On a note of clarification: Do you want me to edit myself into the Team Daggerfall page? The Boy Who Cried Godzilla (talk) 16:35, January 18, 2016 (UTC)

That might not be a good idea
I saw your most recent edit to the Daggerfall Characters page, and I don't think it would be practical to list them in that manor, considering that there are over 750,000 static NPCs in the game. I was considering making similar list pages for all questgiving, and training NPCs, but all in all its pretty much the same workload... what do you think? The Boy Who Cried Godzilla (talk) 20:24, January 20, 2016 (UTC)

Yes. Static NPC's have set names and do not move. Dynamic NPCs span each day and move around. I've tried to document the weapons I come across, but I can do other items too.The Boy Who Cried Godzilla (talk) 21:03, January 20, 2016 (UTC)

Re: Daggerfall Chronicles
Here, I uploaded it to Google Drive. For now don't upload any of it to the wiki (I have that all figured out), but you can use it as a reference as much as you like. It's actually very informative. —Atvelonis (talk) 03:11, January 22, 2016 (UTC)

Re: Discussions and Forums
Codes like that are used to make things stand out which is useful on a wiki page but in the forums it's not really fair, and can get out of hand or abused (a civil war thread had a battle of text size, fonts and colours once). AzuraKnight (talk) 12:36, January 22, 2016 (UTC)


 * Update is fine to use in the forum for commands, but please avoid the flashier stuff. AzuraKnight (talk) 15:09, January 29, 2016 (UTC)

Regarding AWB
Hiya, I was just on Atvelonis' talk page and thought I'd give you a reply to this as he hasn't been online- AutoWikiBrowser is considered bot software by Wikia so it's highly recommended that you apply for a bot flag under either this account or a separate bot account- this is why that previously linked user had a separate bot account to use this software on :) Hope that link helps- you'll find info for AWB under the Check Page heading! -- { 12:17, January 29, 2016 (UTC) }


 * Ah, I see...maybe I should have read more than Wikipedia's policies on it? :P I just made up a bot account for the task, Crusader Bot, after reading it was required. Thanks for pointing that out to me! I just hope the process for applying as a bot account doesn't take too long, I'd like to go ahead and finish this project up.


 * If you've practiced enough with the software and are confident, then I recommend going through the process (be warned- it's a headache and a half...) as I recall Atvelonis was talking to Flightmare some time ago asking about using Kinmune for articles too. You're going to have to create a thread pitching the idea in the consensus forum and let the community say whether they approve your usage or not (this is the same process Corey had to go through with NumidiumBot). After a given amount of time, if it's a success, one of the admins will contact Wikia with a link to that discussion and a link to your bot account and the account will get a flag on this wiki. Unfortunately, Wikia don't issue the flag without seeing at least even an attempt to talk to the community about it (I had to go through that on 2 different wikis that only I edit...), so you're gonna have to deal with a wait when you get to that step :P

Renaming pages
When you move a page, do not ever simply copy+paste the content. That loses the edit history. You have to actually rename the page. To do this, click the arrow next to the "Edit" button, and click "Rename." Then in the box on the right, type in the new name. If you want to keep a redirect from the old name to the new name, keep that checkbox ticked. You also definitely want to move the talk page if it has one. Following the page is optional and has no effect on it, that is for you, if you like to follow certain pages. —Atvelonis (talk) 15:34, January 31, 2016 (UTC)

Interviews with a Madman!
Hey Crusader. Sorry it took this long, but you've expressed interest in my interviews so I would like to ask you a few questions. When you are done, copy/paste the questions/answers onto my talk page and I will begin the process.

1) So I usually start off by asking people this question. I do my best to personalize but the topic is universal. What drew you to this wikia? How did you fall into the editing chair? Have you had prior experience with online editing? Unfortunately, I cannot have you answer these questions because everything I need is right there on your profile page so I already know the answer to all of these.

So I want to ask you a diffent question. I've seen that you've played Skyrim a good year, presumably along with the other games for that time, but I have to ask, which is your favorite? Is fantasy even your favorite genre?

2) Since you've expressed interest in being a video game designer, which involves a hefty amount of work in order to become one, what sort of things have you done to further your goal. Any prior experience in developing games? 8-bit? Anything like that?

3) In your opinion, what makes a game great--besides functioning mechanics?

4) What sort of game would you like to make?

5) Final question (which I may or may not even put in the interview so answer as you please)--I noticed on your history that I am not mentioned. Wtf, man? I thought we were homeboys.

Anytime you can answer these is appreciated.

Stay Mad.

Madman97 (talk) 00:03, February 3, 2016 (UTC)

Hey Crusader! Just wanted to let you know that your interview is all done! Enjoy the read here: http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Madman97/Madman_Tonight_with_Crusader_of_Truth

Also, I'm seeing Atvelonis for Crat support running around and I wasn't aware there was a race? Is there a nomination page or is this just a popular opinion right now?

Daggerfall
Hey Crusader. Have you thought about messaging NinjaFatGuy about Daggerfall? If he still has any interest in Wikia it wouldn't hurt to ask if he'd help out some more. —Atvelonis (talk) 14:49, February 6, 2016 (UTC)

Notice
1. Don't demand that people who just add interwiki links need to format things a certain way (which doesn't even affect articles). What they're already doing is fine, and all you're doing is potentially scaring them off. 2. There is no reason to move the incomplete template to the top of the page, and only makes it more difficult for readers to view. --Shockstorm (talk) 23:52, February 7, 2016 (UTC)


 * The formatting that Crusader suggested is correct, but I agree it doesn't warrant a message or anything. Too minor. In regards to Incomplete, notice templates are supposed to go on the top of articles so that people know it needs to be fixed, but it's also super minor and doesn't really affect anything. Again... too minor to be arguing over. Better to focus on something more important. —Atvelonis (talk) 04:17, February 8, 2016 (UTC)

Message from 155.92.102.113
Hey I see you making changes to the wiki all the time, and I can't seem to find the option to edit the Destruction page, which I have some interesting game-related input on. Thought you might be able to add it. I promise I'm not trolling, you and I both have better things to do than waste our time with being or dealing with one.

At any rate, there is a bug in Skyrim on PS3 where repeatedly jumping in certain forges will level Destruction. I was jumping in Ghorza's forge yesterday to level Restoration by healing the damage from burning, when suddenly my Destruction was increased from 17 to 18. I started jumping a bit more, and sure enough my Destruction level kept going up. It is (from what I could tell) a pretty quick method of leveling, and I raised my Destruction from 17 to 30 in a little under an hour and a half.

I tested this across a couple of forges; It works in Ghorza's forge in Markarth, Moth's forge in Understone Keep, and Beirand's forge in Solitude. It does not work on the Skyforge or Adrianne's forge in Whiterun; the Skyforge doesn't seem to deal burn damage when you jump in it, and Adrianne's forge has a small room over it that prevents the player from jumping onto it (I used one of the presets to create a male Khajiit character; as he's my first character, I don't know if there are potentially other species, genders, or presets that create a shorter character who could potentially jump into the forge).

As a side note (if it's relevant), my Magicka level was 140 and I was using an Apprentice Hood to raise my Magicka up to 180. I was using Close Wounds in both hands without the Restoration perk that allows you to more effectively dual-wield spells. At a Health level of 310, I could cast both spells simultaneously, jump while waiting for my magicka to completely regen (without any perks or equipment boosting magicka regen), and then wait about another five or six jumps, then cast again to get back to full health

Nothing super game-breaking, I just thought that it would be a useful tidbit for other PS3 players! I tried to be as thorough as I could with my description of what was happening, and the conditions I was in, as I could. I hope that the fact that I just spent about 20 minutes typing this up and cross-checking the names to make sure I remembered how to spell them right proves to you that I'm not just trying to waste your time.

This is the first time sending a message like this to anyone & I don't have an account, so I'm sorry if that messes with the tildes (I'm not sure):

Daggerfall stuff!
Hello, I have downloaded Daggerfall a long time ago but didn't play it yet. I had no time or real need (I have TESO) to play it yet. Also, I'm going to read the wikia pages but I heard it's a difficult game for new players, so if you played it, would you help me with some tips on which information I should know or some experience stuff? I can start playing it and could help you with any wikia guild stuff, from screenshots to data. I'm a TES-wikian since a long time so I'm happy to help. However, I'm currently studying at an university so don't expect me to be avaliable for the wiki most of the time, but I hope I will find enough time. The Lusty Dovahkiin (talk) 18:30, February 12, 2016 (UTC)

Hello, Crusader. Maybe you've already come by and helped by the time you've seen this, I don't know. But anyway, I could use your help with my wiki, TheMaskedTwoProductions wiki. I checked all your favorite wiki chats, and didn't see you. Umm, I guess that's all. Talk to you later.Blutbad (talk) 15:56, February 13, 2016 (UTC)

Re: Thieves Guild Pages
You know that's not a bad idea. in fact that template should go on all of the upcoming Crown Store content pages i started. Feel free to add it to them if you want. The Cat Master (talk) 19:40, February 24, 2016 (UTC)

Re: Automatic Province Categories
That's an interesting idea and we actually have something very similar for Skyrim already. If you look at the code of SkyrimLocations, you'll see that adding a certain phrase to, for example, the type parameter in the infobox will result in a specialized icon image. The difference between this and what you are proposing is of course that your idea would add categories rather than an image, and that we don't use links for location types for Skyrim pages, but we do use links for regions in Online pages. I'm sure solutions to those can be found easily, though.

I would recommend you test this on your sandbox wiki with regions as there are only a handful of them, and once you figure out a way to make a categorization system work with them then move on to cities. However, you will probably encounter a problem on how to get the template to prefer city categories over region categories. In other words, if the template categorizes by region and by city, it will add both categories, which is not what we want. We want the most specific one, in this case the city category. So before you actually do any of this you should think about how to get around that. —Atvelonis (talk) 22:17, February 24, 2016 (UTC)

Re: Re-Evals
Sure, we can do a little re-eval for bots as well. I don't think Gurbot or Veetor-Bot III are active anymore so they should probably lose the flag. NumidiumBot probably should as well, considering Cörey has been gone for a few months now. I think Wikia just uses the Wikia and WikiaBot as bots. —Atvelonis (talk) 15:36, March 1, 2016 (UTC)

The Prophet of Landfall
That looks fine, but the Imperial Library tag and disclaimer should be removed as that text does come from the Imperial Library. A disclaimer at the top saying it is C0DA related lore couldn't hurt either.

Quest confusuion
I've noticed a quest page called Protecting the Noble, and I can't find it on my quest list. The problem is tat it aligns perfectly with the criteria and description of the quest The Bodyguard, and I believe they are one in the same. I'd like to move the content and delete the page. what would you suggest? The Boy Who Cried Godzilla (talk) 14:53, March 5, 2016 (UTC)

I'm using the guide from the USEP. Their quest titles line up with ours, except for the previously mentioned Protecting the Noble. Their quest descriptions and walkthroughs have matched my experiences with the quests to the t, so I trust their word. However, I don't base articles on their calculations and walkthroughs, I base my content on my experience with the quest. The Boy Who Cried Godzilla (talk) 13:34, March 6, 2016 (UTC)

Re: Appearances
Crusader,

I think that appearances are the only at this point that's on every page and hasn't become a template of some kind. Now, I've rarely had to create a template entirely from scratch, which is why I've been having so much trouble with it.

I also do know about noinclude, but I didn't think about the categories and the doc template being concealed, I just wanted to get the basics down first. I also need to find a way to get the template fit into my appearances template. Hopefully, I'll be able to fix it soon, but if I can't I'll probably ask other people.

Also, do you actually want to be a patroller? It was 4:45 and I was still at school, half-asleep. So I was like, "Who should be a patroller?" for some reason, and I got you. But then I forgot how people would take it. I had to catch my bus immediately as soon as I posted it, so I didn't get any sense beaten into me. Although, one day soon, I think you really will be a candidate for patroller :D.

Thank you for starting all those new TG pages. I must ask however when you create any more new ones can you add categories.
