Unnecessary articles?
Hey CCC, should articles like this, this, and this (among others) be deleted? I've removed their deletion tags for the time being, but I'm not sure whether or not they're actually pages that we need. Do you know if we should have them? ―Atvelonis (talk) 20:13, January 28, 2015 (UTC)

Re: Rights Approved
Thanks for the approval and support on my nomination, and it's completely fine, I understand on the whole confusion and misunderstanding cenario. ☞ Rim < Chat with Me 09:06, January 30, 2015 (UTC)
 * Hey, Good luck ! I saw you finally got the rights ! COongrats :) Emperor Jarjarkine  Aldmeri_Dominion.png  The Ragged Flagon - Cistern  20:26, January 30, 2015 (UTC)
 * Good job CCC, first use of rights :)
 * Rights really need to be updated so that we don't need to rely on crats to grant things like rollback and custodian. --Sajuuk talk 09:23, January 30, 2015 (UTC)

Re: Featured articles
Yeah, I'd be happy to keep an eye on the Featured Articles. I've got a fair bit to add to some of them myself, so I'll be hanging around them a lot anyway. ―Atvelonis (talk) 19:38, January 30, 2015 (UTC)

Archiving
Hey, not sure if your aware, but there's an easier way to archive talkpage messages. I plan on writing up a help document for how to archive using the ArchiveTool, but the simple instructions are: click the arrow next to Edit, hit Archive, select the areas you want to archive by clicking the text, then hit save. I can understand if you don't want to use this system, but it's much quicker and more efficient :) --Sajuuk talk 23:37, January 30, 2015 (UTC)

RE:Good luck
Hey,

Just wanted to thank you for the good luck with the translation. And I have some doubts about editing, and I couldn't seem to find them in the Help section. This is a silly question but: how do I make those content charts? The ones where you can click the related subject and skip through the page until that subject is written. I've tried using the Preformatted thinga but it doesn't seem to work. I've also taken a look at the Adoption Requests page, and I don't meet all the requirements (although most of them can't be filled because I've only recently found about the Portuguese wiki, and also the fact that it's pretty inactive, so no actual community is going on). Anyways that's all, and thanks again for the good luck.

Re: Team Projects
Hey CCC, I feel that unless a large amount of users will be participating in it, only about two games should have active projects. This is of course for the community to ultimately decide, though. Each game could have its own set of projects and a user could identify themselves as being apart of one of the games' projects by having a userbox stating so.

Such as: This is user is apart of the Oblivion Locations community project.

There could be a suitable userbox with an image that leads to a community/forum page for the project. This could be one way to effectively organize the teams at least.

On ways to keep teams motivated, I think re-establishing Featured Articles and Member of the Month would be a great way to do it, and also a Did You Know section on the front page which could periodically feature new information added to the wiki, similar to what Wikipedia does.

Any thoughts on these? Thanks. — AutoBlood  Talk  04:01, January 31, 2015 (UTC)


 * Yes, it really all depends on the amount of users participating. We can talk on chat (if it works) to do this faster. I'll bring it up there then. Lastly, here is the Wikipedia section I was referring to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Recent_additions

Shadowkey
CCC, would you mind deleting the redirect page for Shadowkey? Shadowkeys need their own page, but I can't make it properly with the redirect in the way. Your Brother in Arms (talk) 05:52, January 31, 2015 (UTC)


 * Thank you, I would have finished the article by now, but it appears source editor isn't working for me right now. I'll do it tomorrow, but when I do, would you mind making redirects for each individual shadowkey tha will be on the page (when I get it finished) to go to that page? Your Brother in Arms (talk) 09:08, January 31, 2015 (UTC)


 * The article is finished; I apologize for all the redlinks, but I'll make pages for each of those over time. I guess you could've done that, but honestly I don't know enough about redirects to tell you. Your Brother in Arms (talk) 05:39, February 1, 2015 (UTC)

Question
Hello sir. I'm new on your site essentially and need a little help confirming a bug so I can redo a page edit, again, without someone coming along and undoing it despite being obviously mistaken. The bug, which isn't a bug but I noted that the first time around, is as follows:

Quest: Pendant Hunt - Locate the East Empire Pendants for Fethis Alor in Raven Rock

This quest can not be completed. I personally have ran through it 3 times now on 3 different profiles and done hours of annoying research just to make sure. Giving Fethis Alor all the pendants will not complete this quest, ever. The quest can not end because it has no end set even though it should have. The only way to remove this quest from the list is to kill Fethis. PC users of course have the almighty console but the rest of us just get stuck with a very irritating scenario of either ruining an effort to create a 'perfect' game where no glitches caused anything to become stuck in the quest log or otherwise effect the game world, OR kill the only general goods merchant in Raven Rock.

Like I said, it's not so much a bug as a failure on Bethesda's end to put a line of code in. It seems to be on all platforms, all of the time, for every player outside those who run mods and unofficial patches. I think a true bug would be more like the areas where the ground fails to load some of the time, so maybe I'm wrong to not consider this as a proper bug/glitch.

The end is the same though, a nice clear warning about this quest being incompletable without murdering a valuable NPC is needed. I'll wait for your reply, help, confirmation, smack upside the head, whatever, before I waste more time adding to that page. :P

Thanks in advance and sorry about this quick message being so long.

Editing Teams
Okay, I'll talk to them. By the way, do you think it would be a good idea to make a thread for each team where they can discuss what needs to be done, because it's unlikely that they'll all be on chat at once. Emperor Maximus (talk) 09:30, February 1, 2015 (UTC)

Boards
Hey, I would like to give you an advice. The Boards for the teams, like forum boards is a bad idea. Plus, let'S say it works, it'll be even more spammed or flooded, i mean the forum. A page like this: Project:Name of the team would be preferable. Emperor Jarjarkine   The Ragged Flagon - Cistern  18:54, February 1, 2015 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that's also true for the notif. Well, i leave the decision to you :P Emperor Jarjarkine  Aldmeri_Dominion.png  The Ragged Flagon - Cistern  19:40, February 1, 2015 (UTC)
 * So, do you like this ? Template:UserTeam Emperor Jarjarkine  Aldmeri_Dominion.png  The Ragged Flagon - Cistern  00:48, February 2, 2015 (UTC)
 * Okay, i'm going to try to enlarge it. Emperor Jarjarkine Aldmeri_Dominion.png  The Ragged Flagon - Cistern  00:53, February 2, 2015 (UTC)
 * hey good job with this ! Its a good start ! I believe tomorrow, we could talk about the skeleton lf how A team page will look but, i'm very glad of how you did this :P it'll need a little amelioration on few things but, out of that, it's great ! Now what ? :P Emperor Jarjarkine  Aldmeri_Dominion.png  The Ragged Flagon - Cistern  04:24, February 3, 2015 (UTC)
 * Hey look at this: http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/User:Emperor_Jarjarkine/Teams how do you find it ? p-s, i have a few minutes, wanna come to the chat ? Emperor Jarjarkine  Aldmeri_Dominion.png  The Ragged Flagon - Cistern  23:02, February 3, 2015 (UTC)

Member of the Month
Hey, I'd just like to point out that as it's February now the MOTM nomination voting has ended. Looks like Atvelonis gets the title. ☞ Rim < Chat with Me 22:36, February 1, 2015 (UTC)

Team Oblivon
Hi, Cheatcode! Greeno and Starkiller have decided for me to become the leader of Team Oblivion. Well, I sort of asked them both, but they still both agree that I should be the team leader!

Team Daggerfall
Hey, I've talked to Emperor Maximus and Herobrinetrollin. They both decided that I should be the leader of Team Daggerfall. — Fire Wolf Pup (talk)

Introduction
Hello there CCC. As a newcomer to this wiki, I really don't know who to ask this of, but I have seen you around here more than others so I will ask you. I've noticed that some of the Skyrim quest names are in quotes and some are not. Is there some accepted rule for this or is it just that no one has got around to fixing them? I have been recently getting into the game and am reading all I can to make the game more interesting, therefore I could remove the quotation marks wherever I find them during my reading of the articles. So you don't think I'm just a noob to wikis I mention that I have been very involved with the Fable, Fable Answers and Fable Fanon wikis. I have been called pedantic by a few people and must admit that I will probably be only making small edits when I find minor punctuation and grammar mistakes. Hoping to be able to help and fit in to your community - Garry Damrau( talk ) 06:42, February 4, 2015 (UTC)

Re: Skyrim quest quotes
The policy on quest quotations is found here. It took me more searching than it should have to find it, but it does exist in our policies. It says that all quest names should appear with quotes around them, unless they are in a subheader or in a list of quests. I'll message Garry about the policy. ―Atvelonis (talk) 15:01, February 4, 2015 (UTC)

Team Arena
So far Team Arena is made up of just me and User:Herobrinetrollin, and neither of us have played it that much. Also, Herobrinetrollin is fairly new to the wiki, and I'm both semi-active and stretched a bit thin at the moment anyway. Therefore, I'd like to suggest that Team Arena be put on hold until we can get more time to invest in it, and more editors to help out. Emperor Maximus (talk) 16:03, February 4, 2015 (UTC)

Team Online
Since I own ESO and I'm currently playing it to gather info, I figured I'd contact you on starting Team Online. We could call it Team Elder Scrolls Online or Team ESO, but I figure Team Online is the best. I'd mainly work on adding pages for NPCs alongside their photos. Add some info for quests and other things, work on items too. ☞ Rim < Chat with Me 22:49, February 4, 2015 (UTC)

Straw itemcode

 * Ok, thanks, I'll get to work as soon as I can. By the way, instead of using a star "*" in front of talk page messages, use a colon ":", it'll remove the whole point form thing. ☞ Rim < Chat with Me 23:43, February 4, 2015 (UTC)

Hi, good Job, i will stay connected to read whats going on but after 1 post i got corrected and my post if not totally correct to the point of saying 01 is for 02 is for and so on , I saw have all the Skyrim DLC's that for Straw 04 worked on PC , i am a bit to old to have someone correct me and leave  all the others alone, a correction can be given directly to someone not doing it in a chat that everyone reads. you being the boss i thought to let you know. when i get to 100% in the game (LOL) if i ever get to 100% I may start again to  say a few things but after 1 post i think i will just go back yo playing and having fun.

Bots
Hey there Cheatcode, I thought I'd address the whole bot situation with you. It appears that all the bots have been inactive/retired.

On The_Elder_Scrolls_Wiki:Staff, all of the bots don't seem to be in use. Veetor-Bot III was last in use July 29, 2012, URL was last in use December 26, 2012, Gurbot was last in use May 3, 2013 and while DwemerBot was last in use January 16, 2015 it is operated by TombRaiser who has since resigned. I also think KINMUNE should be added to the list, and while not currently functioning should still be listed considering it's circumstances being operated by a semi-active administrator. I also think KINMUNE should get a purple name for the same reasons.

I recently edited Template:Bot and Template:Administrator to fit the style of the other staff templates (i.e. Template:Patroller and Template:News Team). I added a quote to the Bot template, so if all the changes are okay with you lemme know.

I was also wondering if I could create the page The Elder Scrolls Wiki:Bots considering the only page for them is Help:Bots. Since all bots aren't active, what impact do you think it will have? Will we have to create a new bot for any necessary functions for the staff? ☞ Rim < Chat with Me 00:09, February 7, 2015 (UTC)
 * Regarding bots: Veetor-Bot is Elchzard's bot and he probably won't be coming back here so count that bot lost.
 * URL is Sactage's bot and is globally available across the entire Wikia network, but is probably wouldn't be available for use by a specific wiki for its local tasks (I believe it's just a chat logging bot that can be requested for use).
 * DwemerBot is still used by TombRaiser on other wiki's so we can't get that bot for use here, as Tomb probably won't edit here.
 * The other listed bots that have edited here (excluding the default script bots) should have the bot flag removed as they belong to editors who never edit here.
 * I don't think a Bots page is necessary since they're not real user accounts and are operated by someone else. Making a page for them would only draw attention to them and result in users asking them questions. Special:ListUsers/bot lists all the bots on the wiki, which is fine enough imo.
 * Except for a few things, you don't really need a bot to do tasks. The only thing that would need a bot is for updating templates across the wiki, but anything else can be done manually.
 * Just my 2c on this (Y)--Sajuuk talk 13:25, February 7, 2015 (UTC)

Morrowind Image Mission and Thanks
Hiyas Cheat. Got my screen fixed (no more black and green everything), Gimp installed on the new pc, and I'm off to grab all the NPC images possible. Enough of the more experienced members have chimed in and got me set on the right path about images. Many thanks to all. I kept finding images that did not match the guidelines so I figured I'd just grab them all and save whatever we didn't actually need for later. I'll shoot for mass upload sessions between midnight and 5 AM US Central Time. If you need me to stop or if anyone has any extra advice just hit my talk page and I'll grind to a halt when I see the message.

Thank you kindly to all who helped get me set straight. ^_^Gaminomicon (talk) 04:45, February 8, 2015 (UTC)
