Tone of walkthroughs
Hey Tomb,

I saw this edit and was wondering if walkthroughs should be in third-person point of view or 2nd person command form. I was always thinking that it would be commands, but I just wanna check before reverting the edit or something. Kroq-gar78 (talk) 00:21, April 3, 2013 (UTC)

Question about articles
Hi Tomb, I found this article about a cave and when reading it I realized it was a cave inside an oblivion gate. Sump of Misery. Can this one be deleted as I persume there shouldn't really be any articles (I haven't seen any yet until this one) about the caves inside the gates. They disappear when the gates are closed. Then there is this one, Kvatch Descendant Gate, a walkthrough how to deal with this gate. Can this one be merged with the quest Breaking the Siege of Kvatch? When I edited the questpage I thought about it but then forgot it. What do you think? EbonySkyrim (talk) 07:03, April 3, 2013 (UTC)

MOTM
Well...that didn't go as planned... it went horrible really. Wouldn't it be best to keep MOTM and the forums seperate for now? I personally feel that people on the forums are not only here for The Elder Scrolls series, but just for talking with eachother, in other words: offtopic. I think it would be best to keep such a serious thing as MOTM seperate from the forums (?for now?). What do you think? And about the Editor of the Month thing, it would clear up any doubts that it must be someone editing in the mainspace. I saw you post that you wouldn't be against it... me neither. Do you know how the other admins feel about this changing to Editor of the Month? 17:26, April 3, 2013 (UTC)


 * I don't know what the other admins feel about it. There are really only 3 or 4 of us active. I already mentioned that the MOTM would be moved back to where it was originally held. I've already updated the links to point back to the mainspace voting page. I'm fine with it being named Editor or the Month, so the change could be made whenever, but also the masthead (the label next to the person's name) would have to be changed too, don't you think. To EOTM instead of MOTM, which is no difficult task really. It might sound weird for a while, that's about all. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  17:32, April 3, 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes off course that would be changed too. And EOTM doesn't sound too weird...right...no?...I'm the only one...*walks away in shame* :P 19:49, April 4, 2013 (UTC)

MW location template
Hi, I've noticed that the vast majority of MW location articles have a region =  field in the template, but that information is not displayed in the infobox. Is it used for anything, or is the field obsolete/unnecessary? 18:55, April 4, 2013 (UTC)


 * I'm glad I said something, I've been making sure that it was included it article's I've edited, but always wondered why it didn't appear in the infobox.


 * When you have some free time, I'd appreciate it if you could take a look at the Fort Pelagiad and Halfway Tavern articles I've edited recently. Both were stubs, and had little or no content before I started working on them. Unfortunately when I had first started editing here I had followed the instructions provided by the article layout templates which are out-of-date. After Jimeee brought that to my attention I made some changes to how I do things, but I'm at a point now where I'd like some more notes on what I should be doing differently.


 * And please confirm something for me, the region data is intended as the general geographic region of the location, correct? A lot of the MW location pages - let's take a character's home in Hla Old as an example - lists Hla Oad as the region rather than Bitter Coast. For that example, region field should be Bitter Coast, and main field Hla Oad? If this is the case, I have to admit to being guilty of perpetuating some bad practices, having imitated what I saw in other articles. But I will eventually be going back to review my early edits and tidy them up once I have the styling polished, so they will get corrected eventually. (Hla Oad is a bad example by the way, I changed them all to Bitter Coast while editing yesterday, because the field was never displayed in the article I never really gave it a lot of thought until recently.)


 * While we're on the subject, most of the articles (using the same example as above) use main=Hla Oad in the infobox, but in the article itself has . Is that ok? IMHO it's not a bad idea to link to both the town and the list of town locations in some way, but the town link does come fairly  naturally in the lead. How would you like that handled?   00:38, April 5, 2013 (UTC)

Captain Metilius
I have a question thats making my head explode. I made the page Captain Metilius more than a year ago. Back then, i had never heard of the Creation Kit or the pc version, really. I play on the Xbox 360 as you know. So i was doing To Kill an Empire and i saw him sitting at the table, during the quest, after i poisoned the food. The weird thing is, a friend of mine said he couldn't find anything about him being there at the moment. But i wrote down his name as i encountered him, on the xbox version. But the game data says he can't be there? What the hell!? I made a page back then of every person i encountered and i saw him sitting at the table. But my friend says he's an unused npc and shouldn't be there. I really can't follow it anymore... do you know anything about this character? Can you find him in the Creation Kit as an npc who's there at that moment? You know who also mentions him as an unused npc. But...just... how!? I play on the xbox and i didn't have a Creation Kit at that time, i only wrote down npc's i encountered... like i said, my head's going to explode. 19:56, April 4, 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank you for looking up, I'm not that great with the Creation Kit. Well I think he disappears, since I went back into Castle Dour, the location with the table, and no NPC's were there. But I'm sure he was during the quest To Kill an Empire. Thanks :) 07:46, April 5, 2013 (UTC)

Falmer in Races template
Hey Tomb,

I looked at the Falmer page and saw in the nav at the bottom (Template:Races) that the Falmer page isn't listed on there, but it isn't there. It would require some extra formatting (e.g. adding a new row, resizing rows) to do it, so I thought I'd check in with you before doing it (or you can do it yourself, either way). Thanks! Kroq-gar78 (talk) 05:22, April 5, 2013 (UTC)


 * I'd say it is covered by the Snow Elf link, technically they are creatures anyway - if it was to be added, it should be next to Goblin/Giant etc. Jimeee (talk) 08:51, April 5, 2013 (UTC)
