User talk:Game widow

Hey, no problem. I may become a regular contributor to the wiki once TESO comes out, I'll be sure to ask for any help if needed. I'm actually pretty new to editing Wikis, so I apologize if I mess anything up. -- Southtownjr 23:13, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

I found a page using the Random page button that you might want to check out. It's Polish spam for Christmas carol CDs or something like that, and I'm not sure what the best course of action would be. http://www.tesowiki.com/index.php?title=Kartka_%C5%9Bwi%C4%85teczna_z_logo_firmy_30b7bf -- Southtownjr 23:23, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

Abuse filter ban
Hi, my username is Zoroark173, and I tried to make a page for the Nightblade, and the spam filter bot tried banning me for spam? I think it was because I tried (almost completely) making a whole new page for it, so it thought it was just a huge spam post ._. is there anything that you can do abut this? -- Zoroark173 9:18, 10 October 201 (UTC)


 * Game Widow is out of town on vacation, but I'm watching her wikis for her. That filter only triggers on newer accounts, so once you've been around for a while it shouldn't trigger for you anymore. We've been changing them not to block anymore since it just blocks random IPs which doesn't do anything to stop spammers or it ends up blocking legitimate editors like yourself. Unfortunately the abuse filters aren't centralized on the network, so we have to change them on each wiki. I'll fix this one and remove your block. Until your account is a little older you can get around the filter and create that page you wanted by creating the page with some short text, then edit it. Sorry for the inconvenience.


 * Oh and welcome to the wiki! --Sigilbaram (talk) 17:24, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks Sigil :) and welcome Zoroakr173 :) — Game widow (talk) 11:38, 11 October 2013 (UTC)

User page sabotage; Queen Aryeen page
Please do not alter my user page, I am trying to ensure that the lore is correct. The fact that it is not well-known does not make it invalid. Scrollocaust (talk) 21:39, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Your additions looked like vandalism and were deleted on that basis. If you are making legitimate contributions, that's great, but cite your sources when changing lore — Game widow (talk) 21:42, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

Teso wiki focus
That makes sense :) is there any area you're trying to focus in on at the moment? I'll see if I can't add something tasteful during this weekend's beta haha. --Flclfool (talk) 21:27, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm glad to hear that you aren't put off. I will be checking in on a regular basis and if you need any help, do feel free to call on me or Encredechine, the German admin — Game widow (talk) 21:58, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

Can I make pages for individual skills, their morphs, any other relative info?
 * Of course. — Game widow (talk) 12:40, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
 * For now, the pages for individual skills and their morphs are just redirections, but they can be converted to pages in their own right. If you encounter any problems doing this, just drop me a line here and i'll sort it out for you — Game widow (talk) 12:06, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

Side bar
Hi, the deletion log, if I read it correctly, says that you deleted the page Current events a little while ago. It's still listed in the sidebar above RecentChanges. I don't know where the sidebar definition is, but it looks like the link should be removed. --Claret (talk) 13:28, 13 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Good point! thanks for pointing it out :) (and the file in question, if you're curious, is Mediawiki:Sidebar — Game widow (talk) 13:32, 13 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Yeah. Thanks. --Claret (talk) 17:43, 13 March 2014 (UTC)

Hello and thanks
Thank you for your greeting. It' interesting to be in on a newish wiki. Most of my previous exposure has been on the GW2 wiki. I am not a coder but full of ideas, some of them workable and others not so. I would be grateful for your thoughts on my note on Template_talk:Npc-infobox as an example. Thinking about location categories… Looking forward to the game and the wiki. --Rhynchelma (talk) 12:58, 24 March 2014 (UTC)


 * By the way, I'm a "grammar nazi", sorry but it's my OCD. --Rhynchelma (talk) 13:04, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Absolutely not a problem :) Encredechine is a non-native English speaker so she may make some unintentional errors and i'm taking care of over 70 wikis so i can be a bit slap-dash at times, any vigilant oversight is greatly appreciated — Game widow (talk) 14:47, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

Parameters
Hi, I am unsure of what the type and hold parameters are for in the Location infobox. Thanks. --Rhynchelma (talk) 20:17, 26 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Encredechine copied large portions of the infoboxes directly from the skyrim wiki, so those fields are quite likely of no use here. I'll remove them. — Game widow (talk) 20:18, 26 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Ok, I thought I might be missing something but thankfully not. --Rhynchelma (talk) 20:30, 26 March 2014 (UTC)

Quest infobox
Hello, I sorted out the objectives and the quest title in Soul Shriven in Coldharbour and had to add a few more objectives. I took it up to 40. Seems to be working OK. If you look at the objective items, Destroy a Coldharbour Sentinel should have a line break between itself, Optional Stage: and Talk to Lyris. Similarly there should be a break between Disable North Anchor Pinion and Disable South Anchor Pinion, Activate the West Anchor Device and Activate the East Anchor Device. As I remember, there is quite a bit of a need for a break as many quests have objectives that are similarly split and have options similarly laid out. Thanks. The actual objectives for that quest may be slightly different after the recent patch but the basis is there. --Rhynchelma (talk) 23:28, 27 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Just saw this now, i'll tackle it in the morning (montreal time) :) — Game widow (talk) 02:18, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks --Rhynchelma (talk) 03:31, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
 * For now, all i can see as a fix is to simply make that optional objective a separate entry and renumber the following objectives. Personally, that's one of the more bizarre things carried over from the skyrim infobox and frankly i don't see the need at all. I think we could remove all that unnecessary logic and simply format the list more simply ... making each objective a link to a matching entry on the page actually requires matching headings (or minimally matching anchors) to be added to the page section outside the infobox as well, so as it stands, other than being gold in colour rather than white, there's zero benefit to this objectives list being broken up into separate fields. Does that make sense to you ? basically, i propose greatly simplifying things — Game widow (talk) 12:19, 28 March 2014 (UTC)

NPC infobox
Template_talk:Npc-infobox please

Quest infobox - again
Template talk:Quest infobox --Rhynchelma (talk) 05:23, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

What do you think?
As a layout using both the journal and objective info. --Rhynchelma (talk) 02:02, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
