The Elder Scrolls Wiki:Moot/Log 2015 August 1

http://hero.wikia.com/wiki/Anakin_Skywalker_(Angry_Birds_Star_Wars)
 * 00:21:24: Cheatcodechamp: It is the moot, it is good to meet up and talk about things.
 * 00:21:52: TehGreatMightyPoo: Alright
 * 00:22:05: TehGreatMightyPoo: I normally only see about 5 people here.
 * 00:22:16: Bluesonic1: Yup, just typing now
 * 00:22:42: RenzXVI: I've seen up to more than a dozen but it doesn't happen lately..
 * 00:23:18: Cheatcodechamp: Ok, I have to write this weeks updates, so you all talk and I will be right here, just writing other stuff
 * 00:25:03: RenzXVI: Bluesonic1 is probably typing something long. XD
 * 00:25:08: Bluesonic1: Yeah, about another CT, the Skyrim Help board. Essentially as the name suggests, the CT is about getting another board added to the forum where people can direct their Skyrim help threads to. It has a bit more to it but that's on the original CT and it's quite a long story as to benefits and whatnots. The problem, I think, is that while it received a huge amount of support from members, AzuraKnight flatly opposed it and has apparently been very worried about it. This has worried me and 2 other users as to whether it's a good idea then or not but it seems to be something the community really wants. Should we go through with the CT then? (Open the floor)
 * 00:26:32: RenzXVI: Uhhm... I think I've heard about this before but I cant really recall it much since I was new to the wiki that time. Can you elaborate on what the help board is?
 * 00:26:34: Bluesonic1: (If people want a link to the CT let me know...)
 * 00:28:35: Bluesonic1: It came about when Tim highlighted just how packed with traffic the Skyrim board is- if this was a real forum, it would have had more than one sub-board added already. Sadly Wikia doesn't allow for sub-boards, so this board is an idea to divert some of the traffic, as Azura even said that the Skyrim board gets pretty insane sometimes. It also gives a place for people who want to help others and the forum mods to go to and answer to these problems, hopefully providing more help to the forum mods as a result
 * 00:29:07: Cheatcodechamp: Are we prepared to make the changes this would ask for?
 * 00:29:31: BeefDaeRoastLXG: this is so exciting
 * 00:29:34: Bluesonic1: The board also acts as a go-to for people with questions; they can more easily find a thread related to their problems there than going through the Skyrim board that has chatter threads in between
 * 00:29:39: RenzXVI: So it's like a board for threads that are tutorial like? Or info about things?
 * 00:30:04: MAXISAWESOME1213: I think it is a good idea, because if there is a crowded board it will take longer for people who need help to get help
 * 00:30:08: Bluesonic1: Just for people who need help, whether with bugs or hints or tips or even asking for guidance
 * 00:30:22: RenzXVI: oh
 * 00:31:18: RenzXVI: Yes, I believe that would help... It is a bit hard to look for certain topics since people rarely title things good and the topic tags are sometimes too broad when it comes to certain things
 * 00:31:46: Cheatcodechamp: The chat mods do try to keep them named and stuff, but they do take on a large job
 * 00:31:54: Cheatcodechamp: and by they I mean Azura
 * 00:32:10: Cheatcodechamp: Azura is a busy busy guy..I think Azura is a guy...
 * 00:32:15: RenzXVI: Lol
 * 00:32:43: Cheatcodechamp: But anyway, The CT is old, and agreed on, all it needs is to be closed. Is that correct?
 * 00:32:45: RenzXVI: Is there actually someone else who edits the forum? I think most people edit articles and only Azura does forum edits
 * 00:32:46: MAXISAWESOME1213: too busy to tell you his gender
 * 00:33:13: Bluesonic1: Well there are only 2 forum mods, Azura being one of them
 * 00:33:22: Cheatcodechamp: We had other mods, but I think they all left, its just Azura really covering it all
 * 00:33:40: Bluesonic1: Dovahsebrom should be around too?
 * 00:33:51: Cheatcodechamp: Ah, yeah, I see him sometimes
 * 00:34:12: Cheatcodechamp: Azura and I have similar schedules so I see him more.
 * 00:34:44: Cheatcodechamp: both are doing a good job..but back to the CT, are we good with closing it?
 * 00:34:45: RenzXVI: I like the CT, might just be bad if only Azura would be busy with it. XD
 * 00:35:13: Cheatcodechamp: New mods is another matter, we can look into that another time
 * 00:35:23: RenzXVI: Yeah..
 * 00:35:29: RenzXVI: CT (y)
 * 00:35:45: Cheatcodechamp: (y)-by community consensus, I approve.
 * 00:35:51: MAXISAWESOME1213: (yes)
 * 00:36:27: Shockstorm: (y)
 * 00:36:43: Cheatcodechamp: Anybody else?
 * 00:36:58: Bluesonic1: Everybody else is still away =P
 * 00:37:08: TehGreatMightyPoo: (n)
 * 00:37:16: RenzXVI: Might be still reading the very first CT XD
 * 00:37:22: RenzXVI: Poo O_o Why
 * 00:37:29: Bluesonic1: Hey I warned you it was long =P
 * 00:37:30: TehGreatMightyPoo: I was testing it.
 * 00:37:40: RenzXVI: Not counted then
 * 00:37:49: TehGreatMightyPoo: My real answer is (y)
 * 00:37:52: Cheatcodechamp: 4-0 then
 * 00:37:59: Cheatcodechamp: 5-0
 * 00:38:14: MAXISAWESOME1213: i just got killed by water (sad)
 * 00:38:37: Cheatcodechamp: Ok, anybody have other topics we want to talk about?
 * 00:39:10: RenzXVI: I don't have any ideas :p
 * 00:39:12: Bluesonic1: Don't worry, no more walls of text from me =)
 * 00:39:28: Cheatcodechamp: I do have a question, if you all dont mind
 * 00:39:33: RenzXVI: Ok
 * 00:39:35: MAXISAWESOME1213: Yes?
 * 00:39:44: TehGreatMightyPoo: ???
 * 00:40:02: Cheatcodechamp: As we are working on helping with the inter wiki project, I am thinking about remodeling our affiliates layout
 * 00:40:13: Cheatcodechamp: http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/The_Elder_Scrolls_Wiki
 * 00:40:25: Cheatcodechamp: you can see it listed near the bottom
 * 00:41:08: Cheatcodechamp: I have no design set out, and I dont know if it is even possible, but are we open to remodeling the layout and perhaps adding others to this list?
 * 00:41:59: Bluesonic1: It could definitely do with a polish up design-wise
 * 00:42:09: RenzXVI: I cant really imagine it :p
 * 00:42:53: Cheatcodechamp: Some of the wikis listed are inactive, I dont have to remove them, but I do want to make them less prominent and set up space for more active wikis.
 * 00:43:11: RenzXVI: Oh... That would be good
 * 00:43:33: RenzXVI: Maybe change the order and put the inactive ones at the bottom?
 * 00:43:35: Bluesonic1: Considering we have 8 at the moment, if the image widths allow for it, they could be set up in a 2 column setup. Set the more active ones at the top, and leave a bit of a gap before following with the inactive ones
 * 00:44:31: Cheatcodechamp: Once I have a layout I will present it, until then I see no reason to vote on anything, just wanted to see how we all felt about a change.
 * 00:44:51: RenzXVI: I think the images themselves right now could fit side by side
 * 00:45:00: Cheatcodechamp: Us and the Heroes wiki do have a decent partnership growing, I do think we can talk about adding heroes to their wiki
 * 00:45:17: RenzXVI: Cool
 * 00:45:33: Bluesonic1: What about the Alien Species wiki too?
 * 00:46:23: Bluesonic1: And yeah I just realised now all the logos are standardized to 250px so they will definitely fit side by side =)
 * 00:46:37: MAXISAWESOME1213: they have most of TES races
 * 00:46:40: MAXISAWESOME1213: if not all
 * 00:47:21: Cheatcodechamp: Aliens could be worked with more, but there is not much we could add
 * 00:47:40: Cheatcodechamp: Expanding their articles yes, but Heroes wiki has potential for more articles.
 * 00:47:54: Cheatcodechamp: But both mean we need people who can write the articles
 * 00:48:10: Cheatcodechamp: http://hero.wikia.com/wiki/Serana
 * 00:48:27: Cheatcodechamp: If you go to the bottom, you will see a template
 * 00:48:44: Cheatcodechamp: That is what I am helping them with, wikis who help them can set up a template like that
 * 00:49:52: Bluesonic1: ... Why is Aela listed as a hero?? That made me crack up
 * 00:50:01: RenzXVI: I suck so much at articles... Can't write sentences and paragraphs XD Vocabulary lacks too... Serana is the "deuteragonist" no idea what that is.
 * 00:50:03: Cheatcodechamp: She is there
 * 00:50:32: RenzXVI: I don't really see what heroic thing she did? I guess killing that giant outside whiterun?
 * 00:50:42: Cheatcodechamp: This wiki also needs help with categories and articles, I am hoping that if some of us become trusted members, we can help them remove their errors and improve
 * 00:51:19: Bluesonic1: Not that heroic considering she had Njada and Farkas with her lol
 * 00:51:29: RenzXVI: :p
 * 00:51:45: Bluesonic1: So do you need help with the template specifically or also general editing on their wiki for Tes related stuff?
 * 00:53:03: Cheatcodechamp: If you see anything that needs fixed, we need help
 * 00:53:21: Cheatcodechamp: But elder scrolls wise, the template only needs updated if we add more heroes
 * 00:53:30: Cheatcodechamp: This makes me sad
 * 00:54:06: RenzXVI: :p
 * 00:54:35: RenzXVI: Doesn't look appealing as a hero XD
 * 00:54:48: Bluesonic1: HAHA the old bird version!!
 * 00:54:51: TehGreatMightyPoo: The only true hero is Master Chief
 * 00:55:31: Cheatcodechamp: They need help, if you can give it great. But for our partnership with them, lets focus on improving elder scrolls content if we are going to be their.
 * 00:55:52: Cheatcodechamp: I will be weeding out content in this category http://hero.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Old_Heroes
 * 00:56:03: TehGreatMightyPoo: and then maybe Champion of Cryodiil
 * 00:56:25: RenzXVI: What the heck does "Old" heroes mean?
 * 00:56:40: Cheatcodechamp: older then 50
 * 00:56:46: Cheatcodechamp: some of them are not "old"
 * 00:57:07: Cheatcodechamp: Others or only old in "dog years" so I am unsure how to handle those
 * 00:57:10: RenzXVI: I know
 * 00:57:13: Cheatcodechamp: Not that Brian Griffen is a hero
 * 00:57:29: RenzXVI: I doubt a T rex reaches age 50
 * 00:57:51: Cheatcodechamp: The admins are few compared to the people who edit, they cant watch it all
 * 00:57:59: MAXISAWESOME1213: what is the life span of a trex?
 * 00:58:20: Cheatcodechamp: I am hoping to help. Aliens needs help swaping out templates if you are up for that
 * 00:58:24: RenzXVI: Not really sure. XD I doubt it reaches 50
 * 00:58:35: Cheatcodechamp: You could mix that with adding categories as needed
 * 00:58:38: Indylord: Ayyy, lmao!
 * 00:58:41: Cheatcodechamp: Hey
 * 00:58:45: Indylord: Is chat actually active?!
 * 00:58:47: Indylord: Holy shit!
 * 00:58:55: MAXISAWESOME1213: Moot type ting

 * 01:00:42: Indylord: Who are our new partners?

 * 01:01:12: RenzXVI: I am not really the article type. :(
 * 01:01:17: Cheatcodechamp: http://aliens.wikia.com/wiki/Alien_Species_Wiki
 * 01:01:42: Cheatcodechamp: I may have, I will look for it. I try to read everything I get sent
