Online Pets
I have come to relize that there are two pet pages that bassicly serve the same purpose of being a summery of pets just the first is also the listing page, should one be deleted or are they both needed? I have been working on the first one but don't really know what to do with the second one without saying the same thing the first one says. Your imput would be much appriceated if you think something needs improving aswell ^^

Elder Scrolls Wiki app
Hey CCC. Is it noted anywhere on the wiki that our wiki has a mobile app? I have only found one mention of it on the site, but other than that I've got nothing. There should probably be something about it in the Community Messages or possibly the main page. —Atvelonis (talk) 21:34, February 28, 2015 (UTC)
 * Nevermind, just realized it was already on the home page. Not sure how I missed that. Still, it would be good if it was mentioned somewhere else too. —Atvelonis (talk) 21:40, February 28, 2015 (UTC)

Cleanup
Hey was up. I was wondering if I could get more abilities like patroller or admin. First thing to become one, how many edits do you want me to do? Whats your least amount of edits to accept me? I like to go add images alot. Sorry about the summary. It should say "More Abilities" Thank you.WOT3000 (talk) 23:37, February 28, 2015 (UTC)WOT3000

You misunderstood
No no no. I mean when I get enough edits in then maybe. Not now but in the nearby future. I have been very active before but I lost my profile because it was stolen. 😡. You understand now?WOT3000 (talk) 00:15, March 1, 2015 (UTC)WOT3000


 * To be honost Id tell you what my other profile was but it was like stolen in i think somewhere around 2008-9. I couldnt remember what it was. Though, I do remember the number 86 at the end of it. 😣 I was active for months on it.WOT3000 (talk) 00:35, March 1, 2015 (UTC)WOT3000


 * I did a quick scour of Special:ListUsers for users with >100 edits and I only found one account ending with 86. Well, there was also another account ending with 386, rather than simply 86. And there was a third ending with the number 864, so including 86 but not ending with it. None of those are as old as you remember having lost yours, though. So one of these could be your alleged lost account, but it's doubtful. —Atvelonis (talk) 01:45, March 2, 2015 (UTC)

Crowns Template
Hey CC. As 1.6 for ESO is in Beta and will be released soon, I thought I should bring up the crowns currency scenario. While it is not yet implemented, it is confirmed to be in the game soon and can be tested on the Beta server. That being said, as it is a new currency, I think it's time it get's an icon. To differentiate, septims and crowns are different currencies and should have their own templates to define them. Septims already have the template, but crowns do not have one. I have uploaded this photo to the wiki and have plans to use it in the crowns template. The only problem is while templates, , , , all have their own templates based on the first letter in their corresponding attribute, Template:C is taken. It is used in a couple of articles, but I think it should be re-purposed. The nature of Template:C should be recreated as Template:E, while Template:C becomes the crowns icon template. ☞ Rim < Chat with Me 20:38, March 1, 2015 (UTC)

Quote
Ok, if I find a good quote I will tell you.

PS.: I just reinstalled Morrowind and will play the game again, so I can add images and more content. So I can be a part of the Morrowind Guild. 23:58, March 1, 2015 (UTC)


 * Ok, thanks. 00:06, March 2, 2015 (UTC)


 * You could use this quote: "Gotta keep my eyes open. Damn dragons could swoop down at any time."; for the Moderators or the Patrollers. Since they do have to keep their eyes open on their respective spaces. Personally I think it fits more for the Patrollers, as the quote that both use right now fits the Forum Mods more. As they do deal with Drunken Brawls (Flame Wars) in the forums, while the Patrollers don't. 00:12, March 2, 2015 (UTC)


 * I feel like the moderator quote should be "no lollygagging". Dovahsebrom (talk) 01:19, March 2, 2015 (UTC)

Just asking
I was wondering if you can merge the hero of kvatch page with the sheogorath page as ebony skyrim showed everyone an email from one of the guys from Bethesda confirmed that he became the daedric prince so I think that you should merge the two pages together k thanks (Dragon Boy 252 (talk) 03:40, March 2, 2015 (UTC))

Highlights error
In MediaWiki:Common.css/highlights.css, Atvelonis is put in both Patroller and Admin groups. Even after Ctrl + F5-ing, his name is still in yellow. I believe removing him from the patroller section but leaving him in the sysop section would fix this issue. ☞ Rim < Chat with Me 04:48, March 3, 2015 (UTC)

Editor question
Hi cheatcodechamp

Some body in name of SuperSajuuk is deleting my map image about skuldafn and he say its moded image and it is pointless because it hasn't any icon on map so he is deleting my post about two or three times. Its isn't a mod when odahviing will deliver you to skuldafn then i go on map and took a screenshot but SuperSajuuk say it is a mod please do somthing when i had checked his talk page many people was upset of him please do something.Thanks a lot.High King Link (talk) 17:13, March 4, 2015 (UTC)
 * This dude obviously misinterpreted what I told him. I said to him that a previous map image of Skuldafn was removed because it was modded. I will continue to remove his map image from the article because it doesn't depict the location at all and serves no purpose to the wiki in any way. --Sajuuk talk 18:17, March 4, 2015 (UTC)

Re: Doralin
I'm not sure. It's always a possibility that there are two characters by the name. I've come across several NPCs who share the same name as another NPC but have a different race. The UESP article does suggest a Greenshade character, but I know that UESP does not have all ESO NPCs either. When I get the time to play ESO again, I'll try to confirm it, but for now I think we should just leave it. I know that this isn't a beta-only character since the page was added by Timeon on April 12th, try asking him if you haven't already. ☞ Rim < Chat with Me 19:26, March 4, 2015 (UTC)

Hey, if you get about 5-10 minutes, please join the chat as I'd like to ask something. If you are on chat, reply to this just so I know (I may not be at PC when you join, so a reply will make sure :P) --Sajuuk talk 10:02, March 5, 2015 (UTC)
 * Hey. We had a nice chat last night, I just have a minor question to ask on chat, if you can make it. :) --Sajuuk talk 21:00, March 6, 2015 (UTC)
 * Whoops, I didn't notice that the chat had crashed. I'll be in chat for another 5 minutes, if you need to discuss anything more. :) --Sajuuk talk 22:55, March 6, 2015 (UTC)
 * That's fine. At least you are being diplomatic. I may create a forum thread tomorrow (hopefully it can be highlighted?) to discuss it, since there's a bit of divide with some supporting each side. This way, we can collate the opinions of the wiki and see what people think is better (after all, it is a community wiki, so naturally, the community form the way it looks :P)
 * Do note that I see the value in the argument against un-disambiguating locations, but the fact is that not un-disambiguating locations is inconsistent with every other type of disambiguation on the wiki and that it just seems like an alternative way to mimic UESP's method of categorising content by game (which uses custom namespaces, which we cannot duplicate, since Wikia only allows 3 custom namespaces and using namespaces would definitely look obvious :P)
 * I already spoke to Atvelonis about the issue, who told me that he was fine with the idea of un-disambiguating locations (which he did a couple of times, such as with Altar of Thrond and Tree Stone, but I'll try and see if I can chat again and get him to post his opinion on the forum thread

Re: Retirement template
Hey CC, I've finished off any changes to the template. I replaced the Imperial Skyrim Dragon to the Bust of the Gray Fox, considering the Gray Fox was a high ranking member of the Thieves' Guild who then retired after getting rid of his curse and is still remembered by the members of the Guild. The image has been resized so that the title bar will be the same as the other staff templates.

I also advise you to use this template on former staff of the community who have little to none interest in retaining their old positions. They can still be active, but if they don't want to be promoted again then only then should it be applied. ☞ Rim < Chat with Me 06:35, March 7, 2015 (UTC)

Re: Weekly update
Well, you should mention the new Retired Staff template, and maybe that you've been redoing those character infoboxes recently. And you should probably also say something about the hundreds of images Gaminomicon has uploaded so far; might get people more motivated to edit? That's all I can think of off the top of my head. —Atvelonis (talk) 22:08, March 7, 2015 (UTC)
 * Hmmm, maybe not something I want to give an opinion on, but maybe if you are struggling for news for the weekly updates, you could ask the community whether there are any users they feel should be given additional rights (if any such users exist on the wiki).
 * That way, maybe the next weekly update could include nominations for said users and the wiki can improve: not to mention, this will also garner better interactivity in the update thread and make it more community oriented this time. :)
 * Just my two cents though, feel free to ignore if you wish :) --Sajuuk talk 22:15, March 7, 2015 (UTC)

Interview subspace
Hey CCC, thought I would suggest something for the front page. Do you think you could make a subspace for Interviews on it?

Oblivion Mobile
Hello CCC, I've realized that in the series section of the upper toolbar, we don't have a tab for Oblivion Mobile. We do have one for TES Travels: Oblivion, but that is actually a different game which was never actually made.

The Plan...
My plan is now to go ahead with these last few missing images from the various quests. Three of these require plugins which I do not currently have but will within the coming week. The next phase we had discussed was the replacing of the various images that for one reason or another were not up to par with the guidelines but I think that is somewhat secondary in importance. I'm thinking the ridiculous amount of stubs needs attention next. Along the way, since 95-97% of Morrowind is stubs, I can replace those images and add in the missing location images, maps, whatever, and start creating all the missing pages for the... everything... that I will run across. With any luck some active editors will join my guild during the coming months. I say with luck because I have no idea where to hunt these potential guildmates on this site since I'm still new and have been too busy to explore all the features. There are several I would invite but I know they are working on the other TES projects and sniping is generally frowned upon in any team setup like this. Any helpful advice in that department would be nice. I know we've spoken about this next bit before but it has come back around now since I'm about to begin the much larger works for the project, I need more tools. That almighty delete, rename, and/or undo that will allow me to fix my own mistakes as I go, while the information is fresh as it were, rather than wait for someone else to come along potentially hours after the fact when I might not even be on still. I do sleep sometimes. Whatever is involved in the granting of this boon, let's do it. If there's some concern about the noob going postal with deletions, squash that. Vandals don't hunt down 1474 ingame images, let alone the 1200 or so that were edited and put in place. :P It will help me help you and make this just a little bit easier and much less frustrating because I know my daily ambush of you and the others with questions/requests is, or will be, tiresome to put it mildly. So there's the plan sir. I'll be offline gathering the last images now since it's far less taxing on my system to do offline. I'll be back late tomorrow night to upload and edit. Cyas. :) Gaminomicon (talk) 05:02, March 12, 2015 (UTC)

Just as an fyi, User:Alduin1996 still has the rollback flag, so you might want to consider removing that (as he resigned a while back earlier, but you couldn't remove his rollback at the time). --Sajuuk talk 09:18, March 12, 2015 (UTC)

Re: Fixed redlink
Hey CCC, well actually I still get email notifications when people post on my talk page. So I did eventually see your message, that's fine that you fixed the link, & I don't mind, nor is it really private. In fact that sandbox could really benefit the Morrowind team when & if they ever finish what I never did, which is Vivec City.

So by all means friend, you're welcome to edit it. & I see, well thanks I appreciate that. Who knows maybe they may come back around when TES 6 releases or is announced, I'm not sure. I most likely won't be returning, or at least anytime soon. Glad things are going okay, & it's good to see you finally got administrator, you deserve it.

Windhelm Article
So I was reading through the recent weekly update and as a result, reading through the mentioned Windhelm article nomination and the "Segregation" section caught my attention. Ulfric never issued the decree that forbids Argonians from living in Windhelm- that was apparently done by Hoag Merkiller in the Second Era (who was also the person who actually first opened up Windhelm to Dunmer refugees too) as covered in the book Scourge of the Gray Quarter (it at least definitely mentions that the segragation was going on long before Ulfric's time). Likewise, there isn't any mention that some of the Nord residents highlight that they dislike the Dunmer living in the city because they carry out Daedra worshiping which many of the guards are too afraid to do anything about, which is technically illegal in Skyrim (I think?) so I could kinda see why they would be upset at the Dunmer people in this sense.

Sorry if this is a bit vague & without references- I'm currently overseas and don't have much available to me! This all just came to mind when I read through the article and thought I'd bring it up with you or at least someone who's not in my limited position :P Bluesonic1 (talk) 05:11, March 18, 2015 (UTC)

re: archive template
That template has been around for ages, the template is meant to be placed in archives because the archive tool is supposed to be used, but it is not added to your archives because you do it manually. Since that same user has edited your archives twice now, I felt it appropriate to place the template that is supposed to be there on them so he might get the hint not to keep on doing it, sorry for not informing but I was quite busy at the time and only had time to undo the edit, fix the mistake and place the template so it wouldn't happen again. --Sajuuk talk 08:34, March 19, 2015 (UTC)

Our Wiki's bad reputation
Hey CCC. I'm contacting you because I've just found a quite recent example of this wiki's awful reputation in other Forums, specifically the Bethesda Forums. In this topic, the OP has found a fanon addition to one of our lore articles, specifically the First Era timeline. Don't worry, I've already removed all fanon lines I could find in that page (it was shockingly three seperate paragraphs which were purely fanon, with no source); however, as you can see in the thread, users are already beginning to bash our wiki. This case is espescially important because it raises the question how we can prevent fanon from being inserted (unnoticed) into our lore articles. An idea I have is that literally every definitive statement in a lore article has to be sourced, either immediately or in a given frame of time; if that does not happen, said statement is removed: I had this idea because none of those three paragraphs I mentioned earlier were sourced. What do you think? Pelinal the Whitestrake, the Bloody and Insurgent (talk) 13:30, March 20, 2015 (UTC)


 * If I may interject, after seeing this in the feed.
 * I think one way we could possibly do this is by moving Lore articles into a Lore namespace. Then, in the same way that we filter out joke category additions for anons, we could have a filter that simply disallows people from adding new content without a reference for it.
 * The filter would be fairly easy to set up and we can even make it only affect the Lore namespace.
 * Feel free to give me some pokes if you want to go that route, I can make a thread if this is something to consider. --Sajuuk talk 19:29, March 20, 2015 (UTC)


 * I sort of like the idea Sajuuk proposed. And if we do this, maybe we should make achievements for it; just like the other ones, but for editing lore articles. Lore is something that I am no good at, but the wiki still needs a hell of a lot of improvement in it. We need to be stricter about what lore gets added to the site, in my opinion. Or I suppose we could just emphasize referencing more than we do now. For example, on lore articles, a message would pop up saying to remember to reference your info, or something like that. —Atvelonis (talk) 21:22, March 20, 2015 (UTC)
 * My concern is how will the filter effect editing. Will this filter trigger if somebody was doing clean up or maintenance? Or only when people expand the article? Unless this filter could determain correctly when it was needed, I see it being as much a nuisance as an asset
 * No, we can customise the filter to only trigger when a certain number of bytes are being added to the page and we can also do another trigger so maintenance won't be affected whatsoever. Abuse Filters are very customisable with a lot of options to determine exactly when to trigger the filter. --Sajuuk talk 21:34, March 20, 2015 (UTC)
 * EDIT: Just now, I went to my sandbox wiki and developed a filter which works per what I stated above. However, we would need to have a discussion / consensus on creating a lore namespace for the wiki (as that requires contacting Wikia to enable it) so that it would work only in that namespace. --Sajuuk talk 21:45, March 20, 2015 (UTC)


 * I think your idea is also interesting, but I fear that a guild would simply not be sufficient enough. There are two reasons for that: Firstly, we have hundreds of lore, or lore-related pages, which would need a complete overhaul; likely too many for a small guild to get done properly in sufficient time. Secondly, the only user on this Wiki I know who has proper knowledge about advanced TES lore, including all MK subjects, would be ShawnHowellsCP; a guild consisting just out of me and him would essentially be a fail even before it is attempted.

 * About 10 very active users would probably suffice. But such a guild should only be done if we actually do find so many, and espescially so talented users. I haven't got the patience to supervise and constantly correct 8 users who only barely know the lore. We need ones who have independently learned about TES lore, including the advanced lore; not ones who have watched those horrible, ShoddyCast and co videos.

Re: VisualEditor blanks
There is a bug with the VisualEditor which results in unintentional page blanking and can be wrongly interpreted as deliberate vandalism. This is clearly not intentional behaviour by the user and the user just appears to be trying to edit meaningfully but the VisualEditor is blanking the page. Hence, this user should not be blocked as a result of this bug. I am leaving them a message so they can change their editor preference, as I have seen this behaviour constantly on other wiki's which was fixed by them changing to use another editor. So please, don't block users if they're editing with VisualEditor, simply ask them to change their editor preference to use Source Mode instead and the problem will be solved.

However, if the user later continues the same edits and they're not using VisualEditor (which can be identified with a tag of VisualEditor next to the revision in the page history / recentchanges), you are free to do whatever you wish with the user in terms of blocking and I will not have any issue with it. --Sajuuk talk 15:52, March 21, 2015 (UTC)

That Thing...
Thanks CCC it seems all sorted out now. For some reason i wasn't email confirmed as soon as i couldn't post on his VSTF talk page too it all made sense suddenly (kinda). AzuraKnight (talk) 18:59, March 21, 2015 (UTC)

A couple of things
Hey CCC, I figured I'd reply to your message but talk over a few other things too.

Firstly, yes, the Vivec page must be deleted so that we can rename Vivec to just "Vivec". I'd move the info from the (God) page to the Vivec page but it would mess up the history, so it is essential we move it before it becomes a featured article.

Second, the Interview subspace still is still not up. Just copy all the code from the Community News subspace on the front page but replace "Community News" in the copied code with "Interviews". Create any pages mentioned in the code as well and do the same thing.

Third, Template:Patroller and Template:ForumMod still have the same quote. We should either use one of the quotes suggested or highlight a thread for the issue.

Fourth, Template:StaffList needs a subpage for the bots. It would make it easier to edit and update just like the other StaffList subpages.

Fifth, User:GramsJ needs to have the Template:Away placed on her user page to prevent new users from becoming confused and leaving a message on her talk page, considering she is still an admin but has not been active for almost three years.

Sixth, The Elder Scrolls Wiki:Signature policy needs to be updated. It says to create a template, though this is not the proper way to handle custom signatures. Instead signatures must be created in a user subspace (i.e. User:The Rim of the Sky/Signature) as it cleans up the templates and makes signatures easier to handle.

Seventh, I was thinking maybe we could give Wikia Staff their own user color. it's just a thought but it would make them easier to differentiate.

Eight, if you could come on chat right now, in a few minutes, or later when you get back on I'll be waiting for you. I need to discuss another matter.

Anyways, that's all. Sorry if this is a lot, I just had to bring it up. ☞ Rim < Talk 19:06, March 22, 2015 (UTC)

Vivec
Helloooo~

I saw an issue with the Vivec page that I'd like to bring to your attention. Under "History" the only paragraph is about the city's demolition. I don't know if there is any guild presiding over the page, but if it's all good I'd like your all clear to move the paragraph zumwhere else.

Danke,

Yoyo 19:55, March 22, 2015 (UTC)

RE: Vivec
I put in a quick three paragraphs of history, and moved the faulty fall to a new section titled "Fall of Vivec" if you want me to expand, or make a new page for the fall of Vivec, I'll get on that.

Here's the result: http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Vivec_City#Fall_of_VivecDanke,

Yoyo 20:34, March 22, 2015 (UTC)

Re: Vivec
Yeah, I think Vivec is pretty much ready for FA status. I did some work on it today, so there is not much left to do, but there may still be a couple of things I might need to polish up, if any. According to the requirements, the lead has to be 200 words long, although I think there was a CT that made leads shorter, so that policy is outdated and shouldn't be taken into account, for the time being at least. So, I think the article meets all the other policies now. —Atvelonis (talk) 03:23, March 24, 2015 (UTC)

Re: Nerevarine cult
Hey, thanks for the question. I see you have already created the article in question. I will try to expand it in the coming days, I'm positive there is enough information in the game. Mondblueme (talk) 08:44, March 24, 2015 (UTC)Mondblueme

highlight
Hi, can you highlight this consensus discussion thread? Thanks. --Sajuuk talk 09:12, March 24, 2015 (UTC)
 * Sorry to be a pain, but can you highlight this one now? I know I'm asking for a lot of highlights, but I need these threads to be visible to the community and unless the threads are highlighted, they are probably going to go ignored. --Sajuuk talk 14:34, March 25, 2015 (UTC)
 * And again!. This one is an important announcement about the wiki so it's imperative people are aware of this upcoming change. --Sajuuk talk 09:15, March 26, 2015 (UTC)

I've joined chat right now. I'll be on but AFK and check the chat every couple minutes. If you're currently online you can hop on right now if you want. ☞ Rim < Talk 23:26, March 25, 2015 (UTC)

Policy Thingies
Sorry this is a bit late, but as per the last weekly update, I wanted to bring to your attention some policy change topics I was involved in before the wiki took a break from the policy stuff. Should I just comment on them to bump them or did you have something else in specific you wanted to do with stuff like this? Bluesonic1 (talk) 19:25, March 26, 2015 (UTC)
 * Bug Policies (not sure if Sajuuk mentioned this one yet)
 * Trivia Policies
 * Sounds great to me! Did you want to start those CTs yourself or would you like me to repost them? You know better than me what to say regarding the topics- did I mention how good of a job you're doing on the wiki haha? :P Bluesonic1 (talk) 20:33, March 26, 2015 (UTC)
 * Apologies for interjecting, but maybe creating a forum board for "policy discussion" would be better and then having a thread for each of the different policies up for discussion? This might work out far better, as well as making an announcement post (that is highlighted) directing users to use it. :) --Sajuuk talk 20:34, March 26, 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't see the use in making a whole other subforum just for policies, the consensus forum barely has that many posts to begin with. ☞ Rim < Talk 04:21, March 27, 2015 (UTC)
 * @CCC: That sounds very organised and sounds great to me! Don't feel rushed on my part- being overseas with a lack of internet means I only get 1 hour of computer time a day now hence the sporatic activity and messages.
 * > In terms of the comments above, I'm leaning towards agreeing with Rim, particularly as CCC said on my TP that he's going to compile one large thread to highlight which will link out to all the other policy discussion threads so I think that'll suffice well :) Bluesonic1 (talk) 16:40, March 27, 2015 (UTC)

IRC?
I'm comming! Emperor Jarjarkine   The Ragged Flagon - Cistern  01:47, March 27, 2015 (UTC)

restore
Can you restore Template:Signature/Pickleseller please? I checked WhatLinksHere and none of the template calls were substituted, per the comment notice I added to the page and I cannot do it with the template deleted. So please, restore the template so I can substitute the various calls to it. --Sajuuk talk 09:55, March 27, 2015 (UTC)
 * Normally it's removing things, but this one is a slightly special case, due to it being a signature. I'll substitute them as quickly as I can and I'll poke you in about 3 hours to delete it (so about 10pm GMT). --Sajuuk talk 18:58, March 27, 2015 (UTC)
 * Okay, I've substituted what I could. All I request now is to check through the whatlinkshere for the template page, substitute using subst: on the talkpages that are still marked as being transcluded and removing the template call completely from forum posts where it appears. thanks. --Sajuuk talk 19:13, March 27, 2015 (UTC)

Re: Template in archive.
You can go ahead and replace it, I only protected the archive because I didn't want it to get vandalized or anything. But thanks for asking. —Atvelonis (talk) 22:31, March 27, 2015 (UTC)

No prob, youcan delete thems :) Emperor Jarjarkine   The Ragged Flagon - Cistern  11:00, March 31, 2015 (UTC)

Windhelm v2
Hey again! So I had some free time and read through all of the Windhelm article and amended any sections that were incorrect lore-wise as well as adding in extra stuff. There was one paragraph which was purely speculative and also contridicted by actual evidence in game (I've added in all the references I mean by this) which got replaced. As well as this, I haven't placed them as actual references, but I've also linked to as many characters who's dialogue provided me with the information I added in each section. ((It's mostly the Segregation section I modified.))

I'm just telling you all this, that I haven't just written stuff on a whim, because I know some users have sticky fingers when it comes to undo, so you know that I really took the time to get my facts straight on it :) I still think it's missing a lot to be a Featured Article, but I think it would do well as a Good Article. Anyway, hope all is well for you! Bluesonic1 (talk) 22:02, March 31, 2015 (UTC)


 * Sorry if it was a bit confusing, I've just gotten so used to having edits reverted in the past by people who didn't know any better that I try to cover myself now by telling an admin it was a researched edit in case of an edit war :P I'm also still adjusting I think to the new changes on the wiki, but the changes have certainly been for the better :)


 * My timing is so messed up at the moment due to being overseas (I'm pretty sure I'm in a -3 GMT zone now after being in +12...) but I'm on the IRC now and each time I can get online I'll pop in, but my time is just so varied. Had plenty yesterday, have less than an hour today. But yeah, when you see me, send me a message if I don't send you one first! And I've added Windhelm to the GAnom list. Bluesonic1 (talk) 17:58, April 1, 2015 (UTC)


 * Ok so I was on the IRC but it stopped working and won't let me get back on, saying the server restarted and that I need to refresh the window but every time I do it just keeps saying the same thing but without letting me on. I'll hang around on the Wiki Chat... Bluesonic1 (talk) 18:06, April 1, 2015 (UTC)

Monthly Update
Hey CCC. March 31st is about to end in North America soon (already in EST) and I figured I should remind you (just in case) to add a new featured article and update the MOTM. I was also thinking since it's going to be April Fools, maybe we should temporarily put a certain article as a joke to be featured. I was thinking Fargoth (it's a long-time Morrowind joke) just to get some laughs. Only for like 2 - 3 days though, after that it should be changed to Vivec. ☞ Rim < Talk 04:32, April 1, 2015 (UTC)

Okay, I've added a whole heap of them to Skywatch (Online). I have added a few of the screenshots for them, the rest I'll upload when I get a chance in the future.

Missing Blog
About a week ago I made a comment on a blog regarding the background colors in source code edit mode. Now I cannot find that blog. If you deleted it, just fine, but I wanted to mention that this new feature is an enormous aid when cleaning up pages. It helps to find those cases where there is just one extra or missing apostrophe. Since they are used to create Bold or italics it greatly helps to find problems. Garry Damrau( talk ) 09:25, April 2, 2015 (UTC) P.S. It also helped me find an instance where the less than and greater than symbols were used to indicate undistinguished quotes. They were being interpreted as wiki code and threw the whole remainder of that page off. Garry Damrau( talk ) 09:32, April 2, 2015 (UTC)
