==Elder Scrolls Wiki in 2011== Hey there! Wikia is trying out something new this year where we are trying to make a "yearbook" for the biggest wikis, and we want to know what big things happened this year at The Elder Scrolls Wiki! Can you check out this blog post and either give some details in the comments, or just write on my wall if it is easier. We're looking for fairly detailed information, such as what the community's favorite character/item/location/what they are looking forward to most for Skyrim is, things like that. If you have any questions, shoot me a message! Thanks so much! Soldierscuzzy (talk) 02:08, November 8, 2011 (UTC)

How to solve this?
Hey Timeoin,

I have been updating a lot recently on the Wikia, mostly everything and everyone in Riverwood, since I already have the game, but I have a problem now that I don't know how to solve.

In Riverwood there are two NPC's who run the Sleeping Giant Inn. They are called Orgnar and Delphine. But the problem is, that the page linked to Delhpine isen't the one I mean. So what I mean is, there are at least 2 NCP's in Skyrim called Delphine. How do I make a different page with the same name? Isen't it going to say it already exists?

Thanks for your time and help.

Greetings SoKoLoV

How To Solve This Part 2
No, I checked they are a both two different people. But I encountered the same problem. Not only are there 2 different Delhpine's (One a Blade member, the other wife of Orgnar owner of the Sleeping Giant Inn) but there are also two Sigrid's. (One from Oblivion and one who is the wife of Alvor, the blacksmith of Riverwood). So I also need another page for her. I tried making a new page, but it says the name already exists.

Thanks for the help by the way. I am new so I don't know how to do everything yet.

Radiant Quests
I'll jot everything down that I do, and I also think a big thing to do will be shop prices, so I could work on that. I live in San Diego, and we have off school Veteran's Day (I'm a junior in highschool), so I'll be able to get the information fairly quickly. I'll see you around!

Timeoin, I am trying to get the spell books, spells, and mage quests updated. Thanks for fixing the Sparks page. I will try to learn Wiki and how to make the pages better as I go along. I am new to updating a Wiki, but look forward to helping as much as I can. Best Wishe, Tom Tom.deaver (talk) 00:19, November 10, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks so much for the kind and warm welcome, Timeoin. I know I will get sucked into the game and the story so I will not be much good at updating quests, though I might edit them from time to time. However, I will keep a journal and update all the locations of Spell books and Dragon Shouts and update the mage quests. One question, can you put Spell Books (Skyrim) page under either spells or give it it's own subcategory? I do not know how you administrators will want to organize things, but I hope the Spell Books page does not get lost in the more general Items page. Perhaps put Spell Books (Skyrim) under both Spells and under Skill Books, if you can have two locations for the page? Anyway, thank you again for the warm welcom.

Hello Again
Hello there, could you delete, or at least edit, this article?

Can't fight them...join 'em
Hey sweetie.

I figured seeing how I'm now sharing you with the TESWiki and Skyrim I might as well help out.

You play; I type. I just don't know what's going on with my account. You're a WikiGod can you do something? I'm currently typing up Kolb & the Dragon.

Wikia achievements
Hey Timeoin. I was just wondering if you think it is a good idea to make the achievements on this wiki a little more Elder Scrolls :) I see we have a lot of "As insane as Timeoin" etc, and was thinking to Elder Scrollize the achievements to make it more fitting for the newcomers :-) Is it OK?

Bug Encountered Which Prevents Finishing Quest (PS3 Version)
Hey Timeoin,

It's me again, thanks for the help with the naming of the pages with the same name, I figured it out while trying some options but couldn't have done it without your help so thanks again.

But now I have a bigger problem. I play Skyrim on my PS3 and have encountered a bug which prevents me from finishing the quest at all. I have already added information about this on this page on the Wikia

http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Bugs_%28Skyrim%29

But should I make the quest on the Wika itself and add "Bugs" to the bottom of the page? And you wouldn't know a way to tell Bethesda of this bug by the way? I live in Belgium so I can't use the support line described in the manual which came with te game.

Thanks

SoKoLoV

A question great Timeoin, why is the Skyrim countdown still going?

And Another Question
Sorry if I post to much on your profile but I don't know who else I can ask this too.

I have bought a house in Markarth (City) and have other usefull information about the city and it's people (Jarl for example). But here on the Wikia, I can't find the page for the city. The only think that exists is "Markarth Side" but this isen't the city, does this mean the city doens't exists yet or am I wrong and is the correct page?

Blog Problem
I am probably making you crazy with all my messages, sorry for that. But I have another problem. I made this blog, but it doesn't appear under "Blogs" when I choose that on my profile.

http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:SoKoLoV/Floating_Horse_In_Skyrim

Furthermore I wanted it to appear as News, so people could read and watch it and then leave a reply, but when I add those categories (News, Site News, Blog Posts) it doesn't change anything. So when I click "Recent News" the topic is not there.

Sorry again to keep bothering you with all my problems. I'll try to figure it out myself the next time.

Thanks again.

I'm not a very good editor, so i thought i would let you know it's possible to become a Werewolf in Skyrim, when you do enough quests for the compansions guild, they will ask you if you would like to become a Werewolf.

I have no idea if you already knew this but i thought i would inform you. Corey Poole (talk) 02:54, November 13, 2011 (UTC)

Where can i download the 1.1 patch for skyrim?

Alphabetical TOC
If I place it here, maybe another admin/editor could also help.

Do we have a current template for alphabetical table of contents. Otherwise I can just do it manually with the wiki code I found for it... for the Dragon language page.

Response to 'Spoiler Warning: Lore Issues With Skyrim'
Have you read "The Infernal City" and "Lord of Souls" yet? It is the Aldmeri Dominion, the Thalmor who attacked the Imperial City and took over. Thalmor influence was already getting stronger in the early years of the Fourth Era. And they banned worship of Talos not because he was the first mortal to ascend to godhood, but as vengeance because Talos as Tiber Septim drove out the Aldmeri when he founded the Septim Empire.

- Crusader (Crusader's Mailbag) 15:39, November 13, 2011 (UTC)

So I read the book I think you were refering to, 'The Talos Mistake', and I believe it's just Thalmor propaganda written by Imperials, an attempt at encouraging the acceptance on the ban of the worship of Talos. There's always a difference between the actual, blatant truth and the 'official' truth, and the fact that Arkay was a mortal god as well is the flaw in their reasoning and another reason why people are pissed off at the ban, perhaps BethSoft wrote that deliberately. But perhaps it's the fact that there are no historical sources that can confirm Arkay was once mortal, and the only two sources there are (the Monomyth, which says that Arkay was one of the first spirits to form after the beginning of time, and Ark'ay the God of Birth and Death, states that Arkay was mortal) contradict one another, whereas Tiber Septim, Zurin Arctus and Ysmir Wulfharth DID exist and it can be confirmed through historical sources in TES lore.

Troll pages and wikia hilites
Please remove this page as it was a troll page (History) : http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Luis_blackman_the_spog. Also i would recommend you to add hilites as seen here : http://help.wikia.com/wiki/Draft:Highlight 02:12, November 15, 2011 (UTC)

Delete Whiterun (disambiguation)
I was wondering if you could please delete the Wwhiterun page. It is a diambiguation page but should not be, as Whiterun (CIty) should clearly just be "WHiterun". Wwhiterun Hold can remain Whiterun hold but I would appreciate it if you could please delete this page.

Thank You,

Requests for deletion
i've been playing skyrim for a bit now and i've noticed there are alot of character pages that are misspelled but there is another page with it spelled correctly, so basically im just asking how do you request pages for deletion or is it possible that you delete them?

Vandals
Hey there! No problem. It makes me so angry to see people making a mess of our work. I understand it must be tough here. This is a very popular series with tons of editors working on pages daily. I don't mind keeping an eye open for things that shouldn't be here :) --Deyvid Petteys 11:57, November 15, 2011 (UTC)

Categories
Hey, I mostly like to go around the site and fix grammar/spelling/general messiness.

One of my biggest issues is that there are too many categories. Can we maybe get rid of the ones resembling "Quests in Morrowind" and instead keep the pattern of ones resembling "Morrowind: Quests"?

I feel it would make the wikia much smoother.

Vandals
Could you link me to all the staff here? I need to tell people where vandals pop up and don't know where to put it : http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/173.180.202.48 23:57, November 15, 2011 (UTC)

Regarding Wiki-navigation
Hi, I I have created a forum post that may need your input, regarding the Wiki-navigation of this Wiki. TC -- 04:48, November 16, 2011 (UTC)

Video embedding
Hey! My name is Joni Niva, and I make video tutorials and other game videos in Youtube. Been doing game tutorials since late 2008, started with Fallout 3 back then.

I was wondering if its ok for me to embedd Skyrim video tutorials on this wiki? They would be my own videos Im making for Skyrim. I've done the same thing with Fallout wiki, The Vault, few years back. Hundreds of my videos were used as official guides and tutorials there, until the admins decided that they dont like video embeddings on that wiki. The reason was left a bit open, but I guess it had something to do with them saying its causing the page load slower.

Anyway, it would be great, and it would mean a lot for me to provide video tutorials for this wiki, since most users find them very helpful. Im doing the videos anyway, no matter what, so it would be very easy for me just to embedd them here when uploaded.

Here is my channel link - Orcidea

I embedded my first Skyrim tutorial for the Frost Breath thu'um in the page for it - Frost Breath. Please see if you find it disturbing, or unrelated for this wiki to have videos embedded. Or maybe just a link to the video, perhaps? Either way, Im waiting for your reply, and will act accordingly.

With best regards,

Joni - CryonBrion (Talk) 12:12, November 16, 2011 (UTC)

Whats thew easiest way to kill a snow bear in Skyrim? Help me please.

I will absolutely help as much as I can to update and organize the categories, and I look forward to when they have all been converted.

I noticed Bestiary is replaced with just Creatures, so I deleted Bestiary from Timeoin/Categories

Also, to clarify, the format of "(Name of game): (Name of category)" is only to distinguish between different games. Whereas "(Name of category) in (Name of place)" is simply to distinguish different areas.

I'm assuming you wish to keep that distinguishment between things by games and things by place, and do not plan on converting categories such as "Cities in Cyrodiil" to "Cyrodiil: Cities".

I'd also like to apologize for not adding a headline or signing with four tildes on the last two posts.

I will sign this one to show the end of my ranting. Corybergeron (talk) 23:31, November 16, 2011 (UTC)

Hello, Timeoin, (or any others that might read this)

I'm new here, and pretty green to the whole wiki thing, but I thought that it would be interesting so I'll give it a go. As I don't want to make this extremely formal, here's my inquiry... I made a minor edit on some information I thought was worth noting in the 'Notable Loot' subsection of the Ragged Flagon article - the last two bullet marks about arrows and invisibility potions. I was just wondering if that kind of edit would be acceptable/worth noting by the wiki's terms, or your own. Also, I would appreciate any constructive critisim if you feel thats suited here.

Thanks in advance,

Categories
How should we be categorizing Skyrim pages? I've noticed editors and admins doing contradictory categorizing. I understood that categories like Category:Skyrim and Category:Locations should be abandoned in favor of categories like Category:Skyrim: Locations. Is that correct? Also, there seems to be some disparity between how character races should be categorized. For instance, I've seen Skyrim pages with Category:Nords and Category:Skyrim: Nords. Which is correct? I don't want to edit pages hundreds of times trying to keep up with everyone. Any help would be appreciated! :D --— Radical D  (bother \   stalk)   10:06, November 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * Haha. Sorry about the name. At my other wiki, that's what everyone knows me as. Plus, I changed the preferences to include a custom signature, which this wiki didn't have. In short, I was tired of typing out everything out by hand so I transferred the sig. Anyway, I agree with you on using multiple categories. What if someone needs to find a quest but they don't remember which game it was from? That's how we categorize at my wiki, at any rate. One general category, one game- specific category, and one game category, then whatever random significant categories. My only concern was: people were deleting categories like Category:Locations or Category:Skyrim and Category:Locations from pages. And others were adding the categories back on. Just wanted to set everything straight. --— Radical D  (bother \   stalk)   10:41, November 18, 2011 (UTC)

There was one last thing. I've been cleaning up Magic articles for Skyrim, especially Spells, and I wanted to know which categories those pages should have. At first, I was adding Category:Conjuration spells for example, but I saw that the one for Alteraion was deleted. So what category should be use? I'm thinking it's probably the Conjuration, Destruction, etc. categories, but I'm not sure. --— Radical D  (bother \   stalk)   11:18, November 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * I agree with the Telekinesis. I'll start the Skyrim article here in a minute. I planned on doing it yesterday, but got distracted. At any rate, the category was Category:Alteration spells, but it seems tedious to have Category:Alteration and one for Alteration spells. It was be much simpler to have:


 * Category:Alteration
 * Category:Spells
 * Category:Skyrim: Spells

Or something of that nature... Edit: Now that I think of it, we might actually need to split each school of magic between games, so as not be confused with Oblivion. Like you said. But I suppose it's not a tremendously huge deal. --— Radical D  (bother \   stalk)   11:30, November 18, 2011 (UTC)

Hi i have a question about the Argonians. do they worship any deadra lord?

Fallout777 (talk) 23:34, November 18, 2011 (UTC)

I want to add a location to a category list, but I see a create page that opens up a blank text box. Its the Dwemer Ruins page - and I'm confused how to add locations I've found to it.

Alchemy Effects, where should they go?
I see you removed Category:Skyrim: Alchemy Effects. Should we make a single Alchemy Effects page and link each effect name to that page#section? The problem is that every Ingredients (Skyrim) page and the Potions (Skyrim) and Alchemy (Skyrim) pages link to each effect individually by name. There is also a lot of overlap with previous games' spells (and they don't act the same). We could go through every link to an effect and link to a collected Alchemy Effects page, or redirect/disambiguate when you arrive at an Alchemy Effects page. The Potions (Skyrim) page could describe these effects, but there are many more potions than can be made with Alchemy, so that page will eventually be the wrong place to send people.
