Thieves Guild potions
Hey TombRaiser, shouldnt we make a page for the different Thieves Guild potions. I have found them in the qasmoke room. But i dont know how to make a page, and i thougt that i maybe needed your guys permission,

Blacksmiths (Oblivion)
Hey TombRaiser, can you go ahead and delete the Blacksmiths (Oblivion) page. I put it up as a candidate for deletion, but no one has done it yet. Thank you.

Sandbox and templates.
Hey Tomb,

For the last two weeks i have been helping the Spartacus Wikia and i need alittle help with templates, Most of theirs dont add the category's like ours and could use a upgrade. Since i dont want to experiment with anybody's i wanted to know how to create a sandbox so i can work on it and get a hang of things before i offer to start upgrading everything. Also, as far as you know, do all wikia's share the same basic coding?

And before you attack my message wall, i plan to archive it tomorrow, i know how you feel about how long people let them get.-Cheatcodechamp (talk) 08:52, January 20, 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks, and Dont worry, you guys wont get rid of me that easy, ill still be here daily. I just like the different challenge they have, most of their episode articles are blank and i get to build entire articles, something that rare here.


 * Thanks and happy editing.-Cheatcodechamp (talk) 21:54, January 20, 2013 (UTC)

What to do with the glow?
Hey Tomb, I did the Addiction quest and returned the chalice and now all are glowing. It doesn't look very nice when taking character photos. Anyway of removing it do you know? Just when taking pics? It's a bit annoying I think.

EbonySkyrim (talk) 00:56, January 21, 2013 (UTC)


 * Like this: File:Grakedrig Ulfri.png It doesn't wear off, as soon as you get close it glows. If you are far away it doesn't appear until you get close again.


 * EbonySkyrim (talk) 01:06, January 21, 2013 (UTC)
 * I never thought of that.. I'll check tomorrow as it's time for bed. Hopefully it is something like that. :) Night and thanks. EbonySkyrim (talk) 01:10, January 21, 2013 (UTC)
 * I had a quick look before going to work and yes, I was using a necklace with extra feather and it also had detect life on it. I have to redo the last quests as I have taken images... well, well. Nothing to do about that. Thanks for the help, I never thought about it. EbonySkyrim (talk) 08:07, January 21, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Patroller nomination
Hey, Thanks for the nomination for being a Patroller. I think I've decided that I'm interested and want to be one, so just tell me what I have to do :P Kroq-gar78 (talk) 18:53, January 21, 2013 (UTC)

Various things
I think MorrowindBooks should auto-include Category:Morrowind: Books. Also, I think I remember seeing Timeoin or Jimeee saying that lots of of creature articles would need to be moved to disambiguation pages for Online - just wanted to say that I could help with that (did a bunch of moving/link fixing on the FFWiki). --Shockstorm (talk) 22:44, January 21, 2013 (UTC)
 * "The Warrior (Skyrim)" redirect has a lot of text under the redirect note. Was thinking it should be removed, but I wasn't sure if you meant for it to be like that. Oh, and I think there should be a category for Redguard (game) images. --Shockstorm (talk) 02:53, January 25, 2013 (UTC)


 * Yeah, it can be removed, redirects shoudn't have the information stored for a long time. Sometimes it's stored just in case not all information was transfered over.


 * How many Redguard (game) images are there? If there aren't too many, you can create the new category and categorize them under Category:Adventures:Redguard: Images — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  03:05, January 25, 2013 (UTC)
 * Ok, created that category. Also, I think "Template:UESP" should be deleted (it was locked). --Shockstorm (talk) 03:33, January 25, 2013 (UTC)


 * Templates DragonbornArmor and MorrowindItems need name overrides. --Shockstorm (talk) 21:39, January 25, 2013 (UTC)


 * Ok, I have to leave now, so I'll get to it later. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  21:44, January 25, 2013 (UTC)
 * Update: DragonbornArmor already had the name override, and I have edited the MorrowindItems template to include it now. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  23:43, January 25, 2013 (UTC)

Anglor character
Hi Tomb, I've just completed the Ghosts of Vitharn and there is a "priest" I think as he is standing before some of the others named Anglor. I found this article Anglor, is this him? Can you check as I don't want to add anything unless I'm certain it is him. Especially as it says he is a conjurer in that article. EbonySkyrim (talk) 20:32, January 25, 2013 (UTC)


 * Yes, that's the correct character. The ID on the page matches to the ghost named Anglor's Ghost. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  20:37, January 25, 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks :) another question, sorry.. but I just saw as I was adding the epitaph for Bat gro-Orkul from his headstone and there his name is spelled Bat gro-Urkul. Is this right or has the person who made the Bat gro-Orkul article made an error? EbonySkyrim (talk) 20:44, January 25, 2013 (UTC)


 * In the Construction Set, it has him listed as Bat gro-Orkul's Ghost. Are all the ghost characters listed on pages just their names without "Ghost" at the end? Or how does it show up in game? — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  20:51, January 25, 2013 (UTC)
 * Edit: Regarding the headstone. It is mispelled that way in the game. So, it should stay as it is. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  20:54, January 25, 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, all pages have just the name but in the game they are all named with ghost like Bat gro-Orkul's Ghost. EbonySkyrim (talk) 20:57, January 25, 2013 (UTC)
 * Sure, I can rename those pages. No problem :) EbonySkyrim (talk) 21:09, January 25, 2013 (UTC)

Journal Logs
Hi Tomb, just a quick question. I've seen of course the journal logs on some of the quest pages, is this something that is planned to be added to all quest articles? EbonySkyrim (talk) 08:54, January 26, 2013 (UTC)

Wanted Pages
Hey, quick question. What happened to the wanted pages section of the help box on the home screen? I can't seem to find it or locate it. Was it deleted?

AutoBlood (talk) 19:32, January 26, 2013 (UTC)

Okay thanks. I'll use that from now on to know what pages need to be created.

AutoBlood (talk) 19:41, January 26, 2013 (UTC)

Can I ask what to do
I know as I'm up for patroller I shouldn't hesitate.... but I'm not certain about some things. Like this one for example: I saw this page created a few hours ago, Refugee but there is already a page named Refugees. I'm sure it's not neseccary with 2 pages but I'm still a coward in how to react. Sorry, I feel ashamed.... EbonySkyrim (talk) 20:41, January 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * I did a redirect to the Refugee article. Changed in his text as I've seen them several times elsewhere. Moved the better photo too. But I'm not sure about the base id is for all the refugees as I haven't looked myself. That is something you can bring up in the console commandes isn't it? EbonySkyrim (talk) 23:10, January 26, 2013 (UTC)
 * I've seen live refugees I believe but that was in my first game of Skyrim. I've been looking ever since.. There are also three dead ones by another caravan I've added to the unmarked locations. EbonySkyrim (talk) 00:14, January 27, 2013 (UTC)

Stub template testing
Yep, that's exactly what I was thinking :D I'm trying to think of how to make it look a little more concise, but meh, I'll make a dirty version then a clean one :P

Also, I'm thinking about changing the banner for the template so that it'll read something like "This character article is a stub". Is that fine? Kroq-gar78 (talk) 02:35, January 27, 2013 (UTC)


 * By the way, I'm going to finally act on what you said earlier and create a forum thread to discuss this stub stuff :P Kroq-gar78 (talk) 04:29, January 27, 2013 (UTC)


 * Here's link: http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:230523 Kroq-gar78 (talk) 04:38, January 27, 2013 (UTC)

TES:PAG
Hey, One quick thing: on TES:PAG, it says that the References thingy at the bottom isn't closed. Especially since it's an policy page (and is something like "official"), you might want to do that. :S Kroq-gar78 (talk) 02:50, January 27, 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks! — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  02:55, January 27, 2013 (UTC)

linking wikilinks
how do i do that, i thought you jsut copy and past the word that is linked to it.DeirdreKent101 (talk) 22:51, January 28, 2013 (UTC)


 * Nah, if you just copy and paste then it will show up as an external link. In order to wikilink names you have to be in Source mode, and enter the name like this: Dunmer . When you switch back to Visual mode, preview the changes and make sure that the link is now pointing to Dunmer. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  22:54, January 28, 2013 (UTC)


 * Oh ok thanks I was wondering how to do that, thats a big help thank youDeirdreKent101 (talk) 22:56, January 28, 2013 (UTC)


 * No problem. :) — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  22:59, January 28, 2013 (UTC)

Sublocations
Hi Tomb, when doing the Rebuilding the Gatekeeper I found a few pages linked to as being sublocations of both Xaselm and Gardens of Flesh and Bone. Linked from the questpage. I haven't seen any sublocation pages really, for Oblivion as you can find on some Skyrim locations. Should these be left or deleted... Not on any cave page is there a sublocation article so for me it looks a bit odd if it's only going to be on one location. What do you think? EbonySkyrim (talk) 20:01, January 29, 2013 (UTC)

Question about placing
Hi Tomb, I have a question about styling and formating now that also journal entries are added. Maybe it is time to suggest something about in wish order they should be? As this is not in the Style and formatting. Should journal entries be at the bottom with gallery, trivia and bugs (in that order) be above? Or should trivia and bugs be after journal entries as I have seen in a few articles, but where to add the gallery. I think it might be confusing, I am confused now where to put the different things. EbonySkyrim (talk) 19:12, January 31, 2013 (UTC)
 * Oops, missed the quest styling, bad of me :). I'll ask Jimeee. EbonySkyrim (talk) 19:47, January 31, 2013 (UTC)

Hi, i'm new to this wiki

Bot
Last time I checked, you only needed community approval if you wanted an account flagged as a bot. I see no reason why you would need to block it infinitely. And if you didn't need a bot to do interwiki links, then why don't you use your own? I'm really getting tired of the sort of heavy handed decisions made around here (ie locking pages with multiple errors and never fixing them). If these sorts of things continue, I'll just leave, as I don't see much point in being here. --Shockstorm (talk) 05:53, February 3, 2013 (UTC)


 * The reason I blocked the bot indefinitely is because as it edits, it unfairly awards badges, which is something that is earned through honest contributions, not by bot contributions, which is why bot accounts need to be flagged as bots before they can be run. If you want to leave, that is your choice. I am following the policies that are set. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  05:58, February 3, 2013 (UTC)

THANK YOU
... for making Template:DaggerfallSpells. I'll get to adding it into pages soon :) Kroq-gar78 (talk) 04:44, February 4, 2013 (UTC)


 * Heh, I just saw your post on my talk page ;) Also, now we need Template:ArenaSpells :P Kroq-gar78 (talk) 04:46, February 4, 2013 (UTC)


 * Haha, no problem! I'll make the ArenaSpells template the same way too. :) — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  04:47, February 4, 2013 (UTC)

Was this right?
Hi Tomb, I'm not sure but I hope it was as I thought. I reverted the pages and reported the user User:206.45.180.169 on the Vandalism page. As you can see I'm a bit unsure, that's why I'm asking you if it was right. I don't want to do the wrong thing.. EbonySkyrim (talk) 06:52, February 5, 2013 (UTC)
 * Just a question about the reporting, I know that this person had been on several pages but if someone only changes a few words on one page, should I report them too or just revert it? Or report all small and big vandals?
 * Yes, I saw that a few days ago that Dragonborn was coming today, I am tempted to start but Right now I'm so into Oblivion and I am also trying to rewrite and improve on all the Shivering Isles Quests... I will buy and download it of course. Ps. I also added a heading under here... :) EbonySkyrim (talk) 20:49, February 5, 2013 (UTC)

New here
Hi TombRaiser,

I'm new here and I was wondering if you would be able to help me in some way. Here is my problem, I'm trying to solve the Nordic puzzle in Ansilvund using Snake, Eagle, Whale, Snake or Eagle, Snake, Whale, Snake. However, I do not seem to be having success with either of the two. If you have any suggestion on an alternate way to turn the pillars other than those provided by The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim book or the one found here on Wicca.com your advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Andy

Deadric quests Oblivion
Hi Tomb, after finally becoming Lord Sheogorath and added to the quests (except one, he was dead when I was going for it) I have now left the Shivering Isles. I have continued on the main questline in Oblivion and after finding the Azura star I have decided to get another Deadric artifact to give to Martin Septim and I realized there are no quest articles for the Deadric quests in Oblivion. On both Shrine of Azura (Oblivion) and Mephala's Shrine the quests are within those articles. I assume there should be seperate quest articles (as in Skyrim) but no one has written them. Am I right? :) EbonySkyrim (talk) 21:57, February 6, 2013 (UTC)

Where is Dire Warren?
Hi Tomb, I went back to the Isles as I remembered I had not found this cave yet. I have been all over the isles and haven't seen it yet. Have you any idea where it is? There is no clue in the article. Can you help? EbonySkyrim (talk) 20:37, February 7, 2013 (UTC)
 * You know what? Just found it! Just because I asked :) EbonySkyrim (talk) 20:43, February 7, 2013 (UTC)

Oblivion Mobile Template?
Hey Tomb, I don't know if you have anything to do with the creation and maintaining of templates, but since you are the first admin I see on, do you know if it would be possible to create templates for Oblivion Mobile? I would really like to create articles for the game, but since there are no templates I don't have anything to go off of. Thanks.

AutoBlood (talk) 21:38, February 7, 2013 (UTC)

As far as I know, the game doesn't have any templates, so ones for items, creatures, quests, locations, etc. would be great.

AutoBlood (talk) 21:47, February 7, 2013 (UTC)

The images...
<3 <3 <3!!!!!

Jimeee (talk) 21:03, February 8, 2013 (UTC)


 * I know right! :P :D — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  21:05, February 8, 2013 (UTC)

Pages on Shivering Isles
Hi Tomb, I've been thinking about what to do with these pages Heretic's Horn, Madgod's Boot, Overlook Road and The Laughing Coast. Could they and the areas not covered be incorperated with any other overlooking Shivering Isles article? Or should one do with them something like the one over The Fringe? I have been thinking about a project with (when I have the time) Sheogorath's Palace, describing the parts of the Palace including the Palace Gardens. A big project for me I think... but could be fun to do. What do you think? EbonySkyrim (talk) 23:10, February 8, 2013 (UTC)
 * I also found this article: Palace of Sheogorath, should the two of them be merged when I start? They have two different infoboxes. About the other project... Should I just have a map of the region as it's hard to get a overall image of the regions for an infobox. I could add images from the regions into the article if you understand what I mean.. EbonySkyrim (talk) 09:04, February 10, 2013 (UTC)

Morrowind Categories
Okay, thanks. I was wondering what was happening. Everytime I tried, it made it into a plain category. Thanks for clearing it up for me.

AutoBlood (talk) 02:03, February 9, 2013 (UTC)

Bloodmoon stubs
Hey, Again, about the stubs... there seem to be no stub categories for Bloodmoon besides Category:Bloodmoon: Character Stub and Category:Bloodmoon: Quest Stub. Should I make the others? Kroq-gar78 (talk) 20:57, February 9, 2013 (UTC)

RE: Categories
I figured as much. Thanks for the warning though. I'll leave them be for now ;) 22:24, February 11, 2013 (UTC)

About other wiki bot flag request
Thank you for teaching me.

For now, I would like to use User:Gurbot in Japanese and English TESWiki. As for other language wiki such Russian and German TESWiki, because I do not understand Russian and German language, I do not have a good command of pywikipediabot and I yet have not gain an understanding of other language TESWiki policies and guidelines, I would like to postpone them. If I request bot flag in other wiki, I'd like to take cautious steps with if indicated using Google Translate.

And I would like to separate Pywikipediabot directories contains "user-config.py" files in each language TESWiki for interwiki link task.

I requested to make ja:User:Gurbot be flag as a bot in Japanese TESWiki. Because Japanese TESWiki is depopulated wiki, it seems to be not feedback from the community for 7 days. In Japanese TESWiki, I just have requested it to Community Central. --Gurgate (talk) 14:21, February 14, 2013 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much for allowing User:Gurbot be flag as a bot. I would like to deal cautiously with using the bot User:Gurbot. --Gurgate (talk) 10:41, February 17, 2013 (UTC)

Ulfgar the Unending (Bloodmoon)
Your image for Betrayal at Brodir Grove containing Ulfgar and some crates would be useful for the Ulfgar page. I was wondering if you could crop the image so it is just Ulfgar, so it could be uploaded to his page.

AutoBlood (talk) 21:35, February 14, 2013 (UTC)


 * Sure, luckily I already have Photoshop opened, so I can do it right now. I'll just upload the image, and you can add it in the page . I added it to the page. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  21:39, February 14, 2013 (UTC)

Removing bug fix's
Hey, its been awhile :)

I wanted to confirm something before i continued doing, while ive been doing it awhile and nobody has complained i still feel weird about it. Should we remove bug fix's and orgins from the main article and leave them only on the take page's, or should i leave them be? I never liked removing content from articles in large amounts and i tend to remove alot of bug fix's on quest.

Hope you have been well, and happy editing.-Cheatcodechamp (talk) 06:14, February 16, 2013 (UTC)


 * Ok, that sounds better then me gutting the bug section.-Cheatcodechamp (talk) 09:06, February 16, 2013 (UTC)
