Re: Amulets
Well currently we don't give most enchanted items their own pages, because there are so many of them and they would all be very similar. However if you want you can add a section for enchanted amulets on Amulets (Skyrim). Then you can make redirects from all the names, which will go to that. So if you type in, for example, Necklace of Health , it would point to the part on the Amulets page about that amulet. —Atvelonis (talk) 20:04, February 12, 2016 (UTC)

Screenshots
If you play on PC then you can use a console command to disable the extra stuff when you're taking screenshots. To do this, press tilde (~) to open the console and then type, which means "toggle menus." This just hides the compass, crosshair, etc. so you can get a clearer image. Leave the console open and take the screenshot as you would normally, then do  a second time to show the menus again. It's ok if you can't do this, but if you can do it then that would be great. Thanks. Have fun editing! —Atvelonis (talk) 17:06, February 16, 2016 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for all your help with images and stuff, it's much appreciated :) --Shockstorm (talk) 20:22, August 15, 2016 (UTC)
 * Oh, are you saying people are tagging your images as low quality? Confused by what you mean. --Shockstorm (talk) 20:45, August 15, 2016 (UTC)
 * Ok, that's fine. If you want you can ask the person(s) who tagged those images about their reasoning. I know that sometimes ESO character images are tagged because they don't fit the 600x1000 (or whatever it is) dimensions that we want, not sure if that's what you've encountered. --Shockstorm (talk) 21:07, August 15, 2016 (UTC)

Images
Hey there, great job with all the image improvements. If you think the image meets the requirements of the wiki (after you uploaded the new version), you can remove the notice Imagequality from the file page. So it's not listed anymore as poor quality image. If you don't know how to do, it let me know. That would be awesome, thanks a lot :)

PS: Morrowind's image capture tends to darken the picture automatically, it's very noticeable when screenshots are taken indoors. I usually brighten them a little (very lightly) before uploading, gotta be careful, tho, to not brighten too much. Hope that's helpful. AgentOfMara (talk) 16:22, August 17, 2016 (UTC)


 * The in-game gama correction doesn't apply to the screenshot. I've tried :/ it's gotta be done after.


 * You know the page where you replace the image, if you just click edit, then click on the 'Source' tab (top right-ish), there you'll see:


 * Just delete it. Only if you're sure it meets the standards tho :) Don't hesitate if you need more info AgentOfMara (talk) 16:36, August 17, 2016 (UTC)

 * One other thing Rupuzioks, since you're uploading a lot of images you should be aware of the Special:MultipleUpload feature, it's really useful since you can upload up to 10 images at the same time with it. It's good if you're uploading, say, several Morrowind NPC images or something, since whatever you put in the Summary box will be added to all of them. —Atvelonis (talk) 17:25, August 17, 2016 (UTC)

Assured Smiting
Hi Rupuzioks, it was unblocked by Flightmare, if you have enough info you can create it now. AgentOfMara (talk) 11:29, August 23, 2016 (UTC)

Summon Centurion Sphere
Hi, It is present, i just went to check. It's obtained by reading Secrets of Dwemer Animunculi in Galom Daeus's observatory (oddly there is no message saying you learned it, but it's present and usable). It summons C.Sphere for 120 sec on self. Cost 75 AgentOfMara (talk) 13:24, August 26, 2016 (UTC)

Dang, sorry, It's not Summon Centurion Sphere it';s Dwemer Animunculi. AgentOfMara (talk) 13:30, August 26, 2016 (UTC)


 * Good job! that was confusing AgentOfMara (talk) 13:37, August 26, 2016 (UTC)

Re: Aralor's Intervention
Nah, it is the one I put, I know what you saying, but I can show an in-game screenshot (let me know if you wanna see it), when you look in inventory/attributes/skills, the pic displayed is the one i put on the article, dunno why, don't really mind either way :) AgentOfMara (talk) 17:03, August 29, 2016 (UTC)


 * Yep, they're similar and really small, and i need a new pair of glasses. Thanks for correcting. AgentOfMara (talk) 17:11, August 29, 2016 (UTC)

Re: Neutralizing Nimhe
Thank you for the confirmation. The Cat Master (talk) 18:56, August 29, 2016 (UTC)

Morrowind Pages
I just realised that you're going through a lot of them and fixing things up in them - very nice work! Also wanted to say - sorry about changing a minor link to one of the spells. (Ghost Snake). I didnt realise that was already a page - its a creature in, literally named after that spell by the Mabrigash. Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 19:13, September 5, 2016 (UTC)
 * Awesome! :) Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 19:07, September 6, 2016 (UTC)
 * A Very minor thing - those pages that you're making for the skills - is it possible for them to be added somewhere to a page that list them? (Or if not, would you be willing to make a page that has all of the skills?) It makes the Orphaned Pages balloon out a bit more than it should. (Like I said, a minor thing - just if you had a list, then it would have them all linked, ready to go) :) Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 15:45, September 7, 2016 (UTC)
 * I just added those fortify pages to Fortify Skill, so they shouldn't show up as unlinked pages anymore :) (And dont get me wrong, I like that someone is adding the pages - it was one of the ones I attempted when I first started, but never got around to completing, as I had a few other thousand things to fix up :'( Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 16:36, September 7, 2016 (UTC)

Re: Editing Morrowind Ingredients
Good question. I don't know actually, but I'll ask Flightmare (probably in chat) to see if we can fix that. The infobox shouldn't be causing that since the code looks fine, probably a Wikia bug. --Shockstorm (talk) 07:44, September 11, 2016 (UTC)

Re: Bitter Cup
Thank you for confirming that. The Cat Master (talk) 17:26, September 12, 2016 (UTC)

Disease pages
Hey, I decided to make an infobox for Morrowind diseases (based off the Oblivion one) so we didn't have to use the spell template, as I don't think diseases should be categorized under spells. Let me know if you think it should be changed and whatnot. Also, I was going to split the remaining disease pages into game-specific pages, as you did already a bit. Finally, keep up the great work :) --Shockstorm (talk) 00:20, September 25, 2016 (UTC)

Mistake
Fixed up :) Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 16:06, September 29, 2016 (UTC)

Re: Effect stubs
I took the stub tag off that page because there was a lot of information, and was unaware that it was incomplete. If you want, you can use this template " " at the top of that page to let people that it is still a work in progress. Thank you for your contributions, and keep up the great work.

Formatting
Hello Rupuzioks, hope you're doing well:

Sending a quick message regarding some of your recent edits. I'd first like to say thank you for editing; every little bit helps. The reason I wanted to send a message is that I'd like to mention you shouldn't remove the first link in the article; namely, with removing spell. You're doing a great job by linking it in the infobox - I'm not sure exactly why it never was linked - but only remove the links if there are two or more after the paragraph.

If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, as well as any ideas for editing or page formatting, feel free to message me back, or message any of the other administrators, such as Atvelonis. Thank you, and have a good day!

Morrowind Location articles
Hi Rupuzioks, just to let you know, the morrowind location articles have the world map in the infobox and local map and interior maps go in the gallery (example: Ghostgate). Hope that makes sense, let me know if you need more info. Awesome edits tho. AgentOfMara (talk) 11:44, October 16, 2016 (UTC)
 * Edit: Just saw the map wasn't you. sorry

Re:Formatting
Hi Rupuzioks,

We've got actually got a style and formatting page for spell articles, might be a good idea to check it out here. It lists the article lay-out for Daggerfall, Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim along with some additional information.

Hope I helped,

Akulakhan image
Hi Rupuzioks, I did the opposite, I spawned him in the middle of the nothing (the sky). Here's how I took that pic, I spawned Aklakhan in mid air, with collision off. He's so large, it the only way to see him entirely without anything coming in front, or spending an hour disabling everything around.

In console command: Once high enough The reason for such a an epic photo session was that his head is so tilted back it is impossible to get a proper pic of the body and the head, and also he so freakin huge, and I really wanted to take a cool pic of him, he deserves it. Anyways, I hope some of this may be helpful :) enjoy AgentOfMara (talk) 00:23, October 19, 2016 (UTC)
 * (to get there faster)
 * (to fly)
 * Spawned Akulakhan:  (i'm not 100% sure of this ID: , I'm looking at old notes, it may be the Heart of Lorkhan's ID. If it isn't, just click on him with console command to get it)
 * Took four different pics of four different sections of his body. For each pic I would move the view down parallel to his body.
 * merged all images with software (the tricky part was the arms, they don't match)

Re:

 * I think the notice means it shouldn't have the transparent background. I, originally, removed the background because I was replacing a low quality image, which HAD a transparent background (and no imagequality notice). And once I uploaded it, it got the imagequality template about the line on the side, which i didn't see. You removed the line, but then it got the transparent background notice. The problem with getting an in-game background is: it's really complicated, or doesn't look good. Thus, i gave up. :/ AgentOfMara (talk) 17:17, October 19, 2016 (UTC)

Re: Formatting
I took the spell link out of the lead paragraph because the Main article: Spells (Morrowind) link at the page goes to the same article. Having that link in the lead and the Main article template is essentially double linking, which is something we want to avoid because it is kinda redundant. I hope that clears things up a bit. Keep up the good work. The Cat Master (talk) 20:21, October 25, 2016 (UTC)

Dibella's Shine
Hi Rupuzioks, I was wondering why the name "Dibella's Shine"? In game it's "Recover Lisbet's Missing Shipment." Just being curious :) AgentOfMara (talk) 14:30, December 12, 2016 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the info, I might change it, and the links that go to it... not today tho :) AgentOfMara (talk) 15:58, December 12, 2016 (UTC)

Member of the Month
Hi Rupuzioks,

I don't know if you've already seen it, but I just wanted to let you know I've nominated you for Member of the Month. You can check it out here. Good luck!—CarloV3r (talk) 12:14, March 12, 2017 (UTC)
 * That's totally fine, with all the amazing work you've been doing recently, you'll get there eventually. Say, would you by any chance mind talking to me (and possibly Atvelonis) privately through Steam (if you have a Steam account), or Flightmare's Wiki chatroom some time in the nearby future?—CarloV3r (talk) 13:58, March 12, 2017 (UTC)
 * The offer I made wasn't necessarily for a casual chat, Atvelonis and I were actually wondering if you'd be interested in becoming a member of the staff as a Patroller. We've seen you reporting/reverting vandalism a lot recently, we know you know your way around editing, you're familiar with our style and formatting policies and you're overall an active contributor. I can give you some time to think about it, but I'd really appreciate a reply.—CarloV3r (talk) 16:17, March 12, 2017 (UTC)
 * Ah, all right. That's a shame. Well, if you ever change your mind, let me know.—CarloV3r (talk) 17:15, March 13, 2017 (UTC)

Elder Scrolls letters
Hey Rupuzioks,

What's the source of this? Note that we only accept official content, especially when it comes to these things.—CarloV3r (talk) 14:26, March 21, 2017 (UTC)
 * If it's from the the game files, it's official. Was it a dds file or something? Which game is it from?—CarloV3r (talk) 14:32, March 21, 2017 (UTC)
 * Oh that's neat, I've unpacked Skyrim's textures.bsa file numerous times but haven't run across that yet. Good addition to the article!—CarloV3r (talk) 14:39, March 21, 2017 (UTC)

re: Sadri's Circlet
lol So I shall cancel the parades and dancing guys because Bethsda got me again. lmao! Thanks for checking. Playing on consoles insures fewer possible compatibility issues, esp. on Win 7, and I don't have to set up a VM just to run it. But it's impossible to tell what's what, that's why I asked for help. Rilriia (talk) 16:38, March 29, 2017 (UTC)

I'm sorry about the apparent double post. I'm not sure what happened with that or how to delete it, but I'm working on it.Rilriia (talk) 16:40, March 29, 2017 (UTC)

Re:Morrowind: Image Needed
Amazing work, Rupuzioks! We really appreciate the insane amount of working you've been putting into Morrowind articles. Thanks!—CarloV3r (talk) 18:31, April 5, 2017 (UTC)

Re:Infobox standard
Hey Rupuzioks,

The infoboxes are created using existing CSS themes, so you'll have to check there. If I recall correctly, the color code used is either #151515 or #111111. You could always use the Chrome/Firefox inspector to check for yourself.—CarloV3r (talk) 07:32, April 18, 2017 (UTC)
 * Could you use the regular wikitext bullets instead of the • you're currently using?—CarloV3r (talk) 08:27, April 18, 2017 (UTC)

Template update
Hey Rupuzioks,

Good to see you've taken the initiave to fix the gender parameter in the OblivionCharacters infbox. I was just wondering though, how are you navigating through the character articles? I just noticed you weren't doing it in any particular order, so I thought I'd let you know you can just check Category:Oblivion: Characters for a list of articles that use the template. Also, do you need some help?—CarloV3r (talk) 19:02, April 18, 2017 (UTC)

Broken Oblivion Template
Nice pickup! Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 10:35, April 19, 2017 (UTC)
 * Well.. its still a nice catch of something everyone else missed! Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 10:45, April 19, 2017 (UTC)

Re:Almost Finished
Awesome, Rupuzioks. Nice work. Are you sure you don't want to be a patroller? ;)—CarloV3r (talk) 16:36, April 19, 2017 (UTC)
 * Yeah I know. It was just a joke, don't worry. :)—CarloV3r (talk) 07:32, April 20, 2017 (UTC)
 * I actually already fixed Dragonborn and Dawnguard, Kora Stormblade was working on the last Skyrim articles that still need fixing (I think she's at P or Q now). I think she'll have those done by friday.—CarloV3r (talk) 07:40, April 20, 2017 (UTC)

Re: Infoboxes
I'm pretty sure we could just use OnlineCrownStore instead of the OnlinePacks template. I don't think I've ever seen OnlinePacks in use on any articles in the past year and a half, so it's safe to say that it can be deleted. I'll handle that now. —Atvelonis (talk) 01:16, April 22, 2017 (UTC)

Poor quality images
Hey Rupuzioks,

I saw you tagged a couple of images as poor quality, nice job. When you're adding the template though, make sure you also add the game the image is from. Like this: {Imagequality|Should be a full-body image.|Morrowind}} That way, it'll appear in the Morrowind: Poor Quality Images category rather than the Poor Quality Images category. Thanks!—CarloV3r (talk) 08:34, April 24, 2017 (UTC)
