Location IDs
We decided at a recent moot to start using for locations that have long IDs such as the one for Bromjunaar Sanctuary. I am aware that it is a bit harder to read, but it doesn't split the ID as is the case here. If you disagree with the new format then you can submit a proposal here, and we can discuss it again.

 * I will. I think it is ugly and my aging eyes really dislike it.  DaBarkspawn (talk) 14:41, September 21, 2017 (UTC)


 * As I see that reference:


 * Locationid.png


 * which looks just fine to me. (click on image, standard display cuts it off) DaBarkspawn (talk) 14:59, September 21, 2017 (UTC)


 * That particular ID works fine without . I can see the issues with the use of the tag, but I can't think of an easy solution that keeps the font at full size yet also prevents it from overflowing into multiple rows. Perhaps we could make a new "Location ID" header on the infobox, similar to the "Map" one on SkyrimLocations, and place the IDs below that. This would give them more horizontal room and would therefore allow us to keep the IDs at full size. This would require a lot of template changes, though. —Atvelonis (talk) 15:05, September 21, 2017 (UTC)


 * About the moot logs, I reinstated them with month's moot, as we slacked off in doing so in February 2016. The decision was made in August. The Cat Master (talk) 15:20, September 21, 2017 (UTC)


 * Okay, I will try and make next month's moot to discuss this. DaBarkspawn (talk) 15:47, September 21, 2017 (UTC)

Re: Race Pages
The Legends race depictions are nice, but they have no reason to be used as the primary images for those articles. Much (or all?) of the art for the cards is licensed to outside companies who probably have very little knowledge of what sort of visuals are already considered legitimate in the lore: therefore, while still indisputably canonical, the art from Legends should not supersede that of the previous games.

It also helps that the images previously on the articles represented both genders, rather than just one. That said, there's no reason that the Legends images have to be totally excluded from the race pages: they just shouldn't be given too much importance. I'll fix the pages: thanks for bringing this to my attention. —Atvelonis (talk) 21:45, February 1, 2018 (UTC)

Re: A Bug, But I Am Not Sure What Page It Goes On
I've encountered that bug before. Perhaps it belongs on Locations (Skyrim) as it isn’t specific to any particular dungeon. —Atvelonis (talk) 12:37, March 26, 2018 (UTC)

Temple of Miraak
Nice catch! Keep up the good work. —Atvelonis (talk) 02:02, April 19, 2018 (UTC)

Re: Undo On Voice Cast
Heyo, hope you're having a good day so far. That's fair enough, although in the future if you don't want to clean it up, it might be better to mention the problems in the Attention template, so that people can see all of the issues and correct them, rather than throwing the contribution from another user away, if possible. Either way, it's not a super big deal, and trying to do something is better than nothing. I believe Cat Master corrected the page after I went offline, so the page should be good now. Thanks, and feel free to message me back if you want. – The Crusader of Truth (talk – chat) 19:33, April 20, 2018 (UTC)

Re: Crafting Spiders
Mmm, I suppose so. You can re-add it if you'd like. —Atvelonis (talk) 05:42, April 30, 2018 (UTC)

Re: Editing My Talk Messages
I did not edit your mesage. I edited mine. I had made two spelling errors.

 * The edit history shows that you changed spacing. DaBarkspawn (talk) 15:13, May 7, 2018 (UTC)

Re: Right alignment
I understand where you're coming from, but there's a reason left alignment is the default on MediaWiki, and why right alignment is something we use very infrequently. People read left to right, so having text appear right-justified throws them off more than having the digits not line up. Even on tables with large numbers, left justification is more widely accepted.

One of the only times I would consider using right alignment is when the entire purpose of a table is to compare the numbers themselves, such as powers of two; one of the purposes of that formatting is to demonstrate the 2–4–8–6– pattern as the exponents increase. However, note that the following "Powers of 1024" section uses left alignment, because the focus of the table has been shifted to the percent deviation from powers of 1000.

This same principle applies here as well. The focus of the soul gem table is really on the different types of soul gems; the charges are obviously important, but that isn't the primary consideration. Therefore, pandering to the ideal formatting of the charges column would be more distracting for readers than anything else. —Atvelonis (talk) 15:15, May 14, 2018 (UTC)
