Newb Questions
Hey, I just saw you editing, so I decided you were the best person to ask this. I can't find a way to close threads on the forum. I've gone through the Forum help pages, but there is nothing there. Mind pointing me in the right direction? Ikabite (talk) 04:17, January 19, 2014 (UTC)


 * We don't have the typical type of moderator user right group that would allow that. Wikia has yet to "invent" that type of user right group, unfortunately. So, that does limit a moderators duty to close troublesome topics. You can ask an admin to close a topic for now. Other than that the only topics you can close are the ones that you created. Removing topics is also an option, but only if it's necessary, in cases with spam and anything that violates the terms of use. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  04:30, January 19, 2014 (UTC)


 * Oh, that's unfortunate. Well, it's nothing I should bother you with. I was just hoping that I could prevent some thread necromancy, and close threads where discussions have shifted off-topic and where the issues have been solved, questions answered. Ikabite (talk) 04:43, January 19, 2014 (UTC)

Ada'Soom Dir-Kamal?
I was just wandering why Ada'Soom Dir-Kamal has good article status. The page has redlinks, is lacking on information and in all honesty, not up to standard with other good articles. Should good article status be removed? Or is it not necessary? Flugsmith (talk) 22:32, January 19, 2014 (UTC)


 * At the time it was deemed a "Good Article" it didn't have any redlinks (and that was 2 years ago), but now that it does, the tag should be removed. It also seems to have been promoted as a good article without first being nominated. I agree that the information is lacking and shouldn't have been placed as a good article in the first place. — TombRaiser   SPEAK!  23:24, January 19, 2014 (UTC)

Aspiring to be an Administrator.
Hey Tomb, there's something I've been meaning to tell you for a while. It's that I'm aspiring to become an Administrator on the Wiki. I love Elder Scrolls, and I consider myself to be very knowledgeable, and I feel being an Administrator I would be able to spread my knowledge (I still can know, but I can just do more stuff as an Administrator). Anywho, I was just wondering if you have any advice on how this could be done. I assume I need to become a Partroller first? I would like to hear what you have to say. Thanks. Zippertrain85 (talk) 23:40, January 19, 2014 (UTC)

Do I think I could possibly earn my way to a Partroller position with how I've been editing the Main Space pages? Because I've been trying to add more to the stubs and correct errors, usually to do with Skyrim and Lore, I haven't been really adding photos or giving sources to pages that much. Zippertrain85 (talk) 05:40, January 20, 2014 (UTC)

Yeah, I knew that. I didn't mean to make it look like I was "begging" for the position. I just wanted to know how I could be a better editor on the Wiki, since I do want to help out more (hence why Im aspiring to become an Administrator). I completely understand how the system works, and I've never asked anyone to Nominate me for that. I may have worded my comment a little poorly, and I apologize for that if I did. Zippertrain85 (talk) 06:02, January 20, 2014 (UTC)

Shields
Documentalist reworked one of the tables in a sandbox so it could be transcluded on Armor_(Skyrim) - and I copied it over - and I'm guessing that is what the noinclude tags were for. I think they are needed for the transclude to work. Jimeee (talk) 09:25, January 22, 2014 (UTC)


 * I applied a temporally fix, everything seems to work properly now. Anyway, I think Documentalist should clean the page a bit, since I didn't really rid the page of the causing source, just fixed it up by experimenting.


 * Ikabite (talk) 15:13, January 22, 2014 (UTC)


 * Figured out what the tags did. The section in Armor (Skyrim) page seems to directly portray the contents of the Shields (Skyrim) page. The tags filtered what content should be seen on the Armor page. Dealt with the issue.


 * Also, the Armor (Skyrim) page is locked, I'd still do some minor edits on it. And shouldn't it be nominated as a good article, at least?


 * Ikabite (talk) 16:35, January 22, 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks to both for looking into it, and fixing it. I figured the page was getting some information from another page, but not sure what was going on with the noinclude tags. I've also lowered the protection level of the Armor (Skyrim) page, since it still requires some little fixes. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  19:24, January 22, 2014 (UTC)

Chat Powers
Redirected from Ebony's page, since she doesn't deal with this.

Ikabite (talk) 16:20, January 22, 2014 (UTC)

I saw your message on my talk page. Should I apply for Chat Mod positions? Zu&#39;u lost daal. Alduin1996 (talk) 19:35, January 22, 2014 (UTC)

Deleting comments on Talk Page.
I've heard that User:Twistedsystem004 has been deleting stuff from his talk page. This is against Wikia policy as you probably know, so can you have a word with him about it.

User:TsukasaKiryu I heard is also deleting stuff from their talk page. Zippertrain85 (talk) 17:07, January 22, 2014 (UTC)

Renaming category
Hey Tomb, can you rename this category into something like "Skyrim: Unobtainable Items", then set the bot to replace the category in the pages in which it appear? 02:30, January 23, 2014 (UTC)

I actually think this is a good idea, since we do have a sustainable amount of Wiki pages that would fit that catagory. Zippertrain85 (talk) 02:44, January 23, 2014 (UTC)


 * Sure, I've run the bot, and it's all renamed now. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  05:42, January 23, 2014 (UTC)

Chat Moderator
User:Ketick1998 kicked me from chat after I threatened to remove his thread. It is about assassin's creed so it belongs on that wikia. Could you please deal with him. Batrada (talk) 20:59, January 23, 2014 (UTC)Batrada

Bro, you dont need to tell every Admin, shows that you are just trying to get at least one of all the Admins/Bureaucrats to Ban me. I Kicked you for trolling. And my RP as only a few Assassins Creed things it in, 90% of it is TES. 8991kcitek (talk) 00:45, January 24, 2014 (UTC)Ketick1998

The RP took place on Nirn. it was simply inspired by AC. It had the Imperial legion as a faction and everything. Why is it not aloud on the TES wiki? I do think your reasoning for removing it was very poor indeed. ScholarOfTheScrolls (talk) 00:54, January 24, 2014 (UTC)

Mobile website
I accidentally clicked the Mobile website on my iPad how do I fix it please reply on my page Luker21023 (talk) 02:51, January 24, 2014 (UTC)

Thanks Luker21023 (talk) 03:51, January 24, 2014 (UTC)

Apocrypha bug
Hi TombRaiser I am having trouble getting the last Dragon Aspect Shout. Chapter 6 the gate is closed to the wall I i placed the books on the pestals in the right order Blkshirtsone (talk) 17:44, January 25, 2014 (UTC)

Chat ban
can you un ban me from chat

Unneccesary Categorising?
Hi, I just noticed that the user TheLeadingContributer was adding the category "shops" to multiple pages. Although, "shops" may be deemed an appropriate category, he has added it on multiple inns and other things as well. I was wondering whether the category should be removed, the pages that don't fit into that category be cut from it, or it should just be left completely. Thanks.

Potion (Arena)
Hey, TombRaiser, I made a page created by an IP address, Potion (Arena), and made it a redirect page to Potions (Arena). Just thought you should know Sincerely (talk) 23:35, January 26, 2014 (UTC)

Signature
What do you mean? Mine does Link to my Profile or Talk Page. If you meant to make it link there, please help me figure it out. I put it in Wikitext. 22:53, January 27, 2014 (UTC)Ketick1998

Age Requirements
Since there is an active discussion on adult content on this wiki and the chat, I've paid more attention to the age. So there's cases like this:


 * 5:08 Ikabite Princess.
 * 5:08 PrincessArcticWolf yes?
 * 5:09 Ikabite You're 9, correct?
 * 5:09 PrincessArcticWolf yes

According to the Wikia policy, the age requirement for the wiki is 13. What do we do in such cases? Ikabite (talk) 15:20, January 28, 2014 (UTC)


 * I've decided to temporally ban the PrincessArcticWolf from the chat until the case has been resolved. Ikabite (talk) 15:24, January 28, 2014 (UTC)

Signature
Yes, I did Check the Wikitext box. MoS(Man of steak) helped me make the Dovahzul signature. I'll talk to him about it.

22:50, January 28, 2014 (UTC)Ketick1998

I did put it without any parser codes. I put it exactly how you put it before you did. As I said, MoS told me how.

Forum Mod Status
Hey, since I changed my username (I was UselessArgonianMage) I lost my Forum Mod status, I still have the same rights, but I'm just not registered. Could you update this please? Thanks. ゆ (talk) 02:09, February 1, 2014 (UTC)

User Arshudar Al-Muhdarin
I would like to report a user, stated above. He keeps adding mis-information to the Skyrim Civil War page and reverts my edits whenever I correct him. If you look through his edits on the page you'll see what I mean, but to sum it up he's adding... ugh, I hate using this phrase as it makes me sound like a dick... "Stormcloak propaganda", claiming there are many non-Nords in the Stormcloaks even though there isn't a single one in game, saying most of Skyrim supports Ulfric and hates the Empire, stuff like that. I was wondering if you could do something about it as it's getting tiresome to undo his edits.  DRAEVAN13  02:17, February 1, 2014 (UTC)


 * The problem is I don't think he'll listen to me, as I'm not an Admin. Could you leave a message on his talk page? Maybe something along the lines of "What Draevan13 said"?  DRAEVAN13 19:59, February 1, 2014 (UTC)

DeModding Me
Hello, Raiser of the Tombs, I had requested Timeoin on Facebook to DeMod me. He hasnt done so even though because he forgot how to DeMod, he told me to come to you to request you to take away my Chat Moderator powers.

Thank you.

*poke*
Any chance I could speak to you on IRC or chat for a bit? 19:13, February 1, 2014 (UTC)


 * Sure, I'll go on IRC. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  19:15, February 1, 2014 (UTC)

Fanfiction
Hi TombRaiser, I'm new here and I can't find any policies about fanfiction. I've written a history for one of my Skyrim characters, and I'd like to know if I'm allowed to put it on my userpage or a subpage of my profile (or somewhere else). - Kitty the Kitten Kittycat79 ]][[User talk:Kittycat79|Miststorm Preys On You... ]] 06:39, February 2, 2014 (UTC)

Capitalisation
There's something I've been wondering about for a while, now. When I see see things like 'deer hide' or 'orichalcum ingot' being capitalised, is that correct? It just doesn't read well to me and I usually de-cap them. - Erik the Mad (talk) 00:30, February 3, 2014 (UTC)


 * They are not proper nouns, so they should be de-capped. I don't think we de-cap it in the lead sentence though, since we often use and that capitalizes it the way it appears in the page's title. Also, I think we keep these things capitalized if they are in a list. So, if it's used in a sentence, then de-cap. — TombRaiser   SPEAK!  00:35, February 3, 2014 (UTC)


 * That's more or less what I thought. I've seen people (including some patrollers, which is what made me wonder) change them back a few times in the past, so I wasn't quite sure of the proper procedure.  Thanks for clearing that up. - Erik the Mad (talk) 00:40, February 3, 2014 (UTC)

Thanks!
Appreciate the head's up! I didn't know about that particular policy, but I'll be sure to avoid doing that in the future. LadyNorbert (talk) 05:09, February 5, 2014 (UTC)

Empires Wiki Page
I was wondering, shouldn't we add the "Tharn Empire" into it, since the Empress Regent Clivia Tharn is ruling during the Interregnum(the period where Elder Scrolls: Online takes place)?

— Profile/Talk 20:01, February 5, 2014 (UTC)

Re: Slayor125 / Slayor130
If you could be grateful, please ban these two accounts. Slayor130 is an alt of Slayor125, who joined the chat and promptly spammed periods incessantly. I gave immediate, indefinite bans on the chat, but since this user doesn't seem likely to contribute, a full ban would probably be better. Thank you. --Speysider Talk Page 20:53, February 5, 2014 (UTC)

Application
Hello. I wanted to ask if my application for the position of Forum Moderator succeeded. AngryEnclaveSoldier (talk) 23:06, February 6, 2014 (UTC)

Thank you! :) AngryEnclaveSoldier (talk) 23:32, February 6, 2014 (UTC)

Erik the Mad
Could you please talk to this user ? As you will no doubt see, he repeatedly abuses the undo function and has been reverting edits from MANY users for apparently no reason and mostly because he claims they are redundant. He does not assume good faith in anyone's edits and his talkpage is proof that he has been abusing the function for a long time. It's gotten out of control and I'd like if you could deal with this situation. I have copied this to EbonySkyrim and Timeoin in case you don't see this message. Thank you :) --Speysider Talk Page 18:51, February 7, 2014 (UTC)

Thanks :)
Hi TombRaiser, I just wanted to leave a message of thanks for nominating me to be a Patroller. Whether or not I actually become one, I'm still grateful for the nomination. Happy Editing! 12:04, February 8, 2014 (UTC)


 * You're welcome. :) Well, you have been very helpful around here, and we need more Patrollers that take the care of the wiki and it's members seriously. :) —TombRaiser  SPEAK!  00:34, February 12, 2014 (UTC)

Re: emotes on chat
Hey, is it possible you could update MediaWiki:Emoticons to remove :3 from the list of chat codes to produce a smiling face ? Thanks! --Speysider Talk Page 15:04, February 8, 2014 (UTC)
