Application
I would like to join the watchdogs but the application doesn't make much sense to me. Could you please help me? BobNamataki (talk) 16:25, October 6, 2009 (UTC)

Why on earth
is 100+ patch templates better than one? That is a maintenance nightmare. Please stop and explain why this is better before making hundreds of edits. 4:41 PM, 6 Oct 2009 (EDT)


 * I don't see the maintenance nightmare, could you please elaborate? I.e. what kind of maintenance do you envision to needing to be done on old patch note templates? The date and patch numbers aren't likely to change.
 * I've posted a more thorough discussion than above at Category talk:Patch templates; I invite you to reply there. -- ◄mendel► 17:09, October 6, 2009 (UTC)


 * I need to appologize to both of you for getting overly emotional, but I really thought Pcj with his 45k+ edits would know better than to encourage the use of duplicate code in such an overt way, when we've been actively removing similar instances. For example, we use to have friendly, unfriendly, etc instead of just reputation, as well as poor, uncommon, common etc instead of quality, and many other examples exist.


 * But to generally answer your question here since you asked, you do it for the changes you haven't thought of so it will be easy in the future. After coding for about 10 years and 2 of those in wiki language (it's not really any different), I really appreciate that kind of forethought.


 * I'm confident whatever features your templates have can be incorporated into the existing patched template without the need of and additional 100+ templates, where one would do. 11:13 PM, 6 Oct 2009 (EDT)
 * I don't know if you've looked at the source of the new templates themselves, they all reference the template Patch, meaning the display of the data can be changed very easily and new patches can be added without parsing through a difficult #switch statement. (Also I would like hotfixes to eventually refer to a better-named template, tentatively called Hotfix, and fully deprecate Patched.) -- 23:18, October 6, 2009 (UTC)


 * There has to be a way to do this without needing an entirely new template for each patch. I'll think on it, maybe play in a sandbox if I have time. My days are pretty full until Saturday this week, though. 11:25 PM, 6 Oct 2009 (EDT)


 * The simplicity of the new templates Mendel has created lend themselves well to bot-changes. Which is fortunate, since any overall change would require changing all of those templates uniformly.  There is great value in simplicity, but yeah, it does come with that tradeoff.  I have to wonder, though, how often Mendel (or whoever else supports the new templates) will sweep the wiki for "direct uses of 'patched'".  For a little while, sure.  But over the long term?  --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 17:46, October 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * Really, what an odd question. It's the same process of deprecating one template for another we've done so many times before. -- 18:10, October 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * I've been wandering the wilds of the wiki again, finding items from the original content that were still stubs, and categories left unfilled after a year. Maintenance is on my mind. --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 21:17, October 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * I've provided code (see above) for inclusion in Template:patched that would direct old, unconverted calls into the new system, so that modifications done in the new system would carry over to the old template calls automatically, as long as they haven't been converted.
 * Each new patch template contains only the unique information that associates patch number and date; everything that is similar about them is written into the central template:Patch. Unless you envision renaming parameters or maybe adding new parameters that you want to use for old patch notes, or changing the date format, maintenance is not necessary - I can say that with confidence because there are no other functions (besides parameter passing and supplying patch number, page and date information) that these templates encode. And in any event, these templates can be easily botted, as PCJ has pointed out. -- ◄mendel► 00:01, October 8, 2009 (UTC)
 * Templates that are widely used (like Tooltip, and even your own example for Patched) get overhauled every now and then. Don't fall into the trap of thinking your version is the be-all, end-all version.  Maintenance may not be done for a month, a year, or several years.  But based on history, the odds of it being not necessary are vanishingly small.  --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 00:16, October 8, 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, the changes made already make it easier to edit. -- 00:34, October 8, 2009 (UTC)
 * Presumably you're talking about either the Patched template, or the patch version templates. And I agree, that mendel's changes simplify both.  I haven't put the Patched (version) templates into action yet, so I can't say about usability.  I assume you have?  How is it? --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 19:31, October 8, 2009 (UTC)
 * is easier to type and remember than, no question about it. -- 19:39, October 8, 2009 (UTC)
 * Really no reason we couldn't have changed patched to accept if that was the only reason for creating 100+ new templates.
 * Pcj, I'm just baffled, because you wrote the template engineer's guidelines, and this is so blatantly contrary to "Single templates which can perform multiple similar functions are preferred," which is just a repetition of the best practice to avoid duplicate code. 5:40 AM, 10 Oct 2009 (EDT)
 * We also avoid a complex #switch statement and other hackish code by splitting the template up. I would rather have easier to use code than worry about duplicating functionality. -- 12:59, October 10, 2009 (UTC)

Guild page G I R L @ Vek'nilash-EU deleted. Why?
Hi Pcj,

Kind of saddened to see the page of our guild being deleted. Could you tell me why and what I need to add to it to make you happy?

Regards, /Razsnagka (officer of GIRL)
 * It did not comply with WP:GUILD policy. You needed to add appropriate categories as indicated in the policy. -- 17:26, October 16, 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the swift response.
 * Hmmm, I understand. If memory serves me, then the page name is even slightly incorrect, so no point in having the page restored as such, unless I could as that you restore it with the proper name and I'll review it during the weekend. I don't have the content of the page saved anywhere, but rather wrote it up from heart. Is there anything you can do to help me out?
 * Thanks in advance, Razsnagka (talk) 20:11, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, I can restore it when you're ready to fix it. -- 20:34, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok. That sounds perfect. Please restore it and I will make basic updates to it this weekend, and continue during the following week or so. If you could place it properly in the wiki-tree (ie name the page as it should be), that would be deeply appreciated. Just point me to where it is and I'll take if from there. Thanks, /Razsnagka (talk) 15:57, October 17, 2009 (UTC)

Please restore this page and I'll go and update it. I was hoping for a restore during the weekend, but as I'm at home this Monday morning, I thought I'd bump this again. (Page name is correct as I understand it, only the content was missing some required parts.) Thanks, /Razsnagka (talk) 08:04, October 19, 2009 (UTC)

You can ignore this request, as I lost the mood to rewrite it. Thanks for a great site with lots of useful information. Someone else will surely create the GIRL page here - some time... /Razsnagka (talk) 20:01, October 19, 2009 (UTC)

OpenWDB
In regards to broken pages, what should be done with links to deleted pages, such as OpenWDB (← links)? --Drazisil (talk) 10:23, October 21, 2009 (UTC)
 * If it bothers you, you can either wrap the broken link in wikitext with &lt;nowiki&gt;&lt;/nowiki&gt; or just remove the link brackets altogether depending on the situation. -- 18:56, October 25, 2009 (UTC)
 * Doesn't really bother me, I was thinking from a cleanup standpoint, if there was a policy related to links to deleted pages. Am I understanding that they are just treated the same as any other broken link? Drazisil (talk) 19:03, October 25, 2009 (UTC)
 * The relevant policy would be the deletion policy, the links should've been cleaned up at time of deletion but since they weren't there's no mandate to go back and do it. -- 19:18, October 25, 2009 (UTC)

Removal of page
Dear Pcj,

My name is Jenglejack and I represent the Sacrificial Lambs clique. In fact, i'm the leader of the guild. To make ourselves more know around the regions of wow I decided to make a wowwiki page.



I check the wiki of my website, and discover it's not there anymore. Checked my email, and yes, YOU deleted it. Could you please explain why you did that, and what I can do to prevent it from happening again ?

Kind Regards,

Jenglejack Trollbane(EU)
 * You need proper categorization per WP:GUILD. Let me know and I will restore it when you're ready. -- 12:53, October 31, 2009 (UTC)


 * Dear PCJ,

I assume you deleted the page because of the member count that was noted in the wikipage ? This has been edited and corrected to a more static line of information. If however, the page is still incorrect, could you inform me about the changes I need to make ? Thanks in advance, and keep up the good work.

Cleaning the wowwiki must be a hell of a job.

Kind regards,

Jenglejack Trollbane(EU)
 * No, it was because it needed additional categories. Please re-read WP:GUILD before creating it. -- 13:04, November 2, 2009 (UTC)


 * Dear Sir,

I hope it's fine now. Could you please check it out and let me know if you approve.

With love
 * Good, thank you. -- 13:29, November 2, 2009 (UTC)

More tooltip importing
Hi Pcj. Like many others, I'm attempting to import the tooltips to my wiki, but am having no luck. I did a copy/paste for the Tooltips.js and copied the calling line for Common.js as well. I've gone through the Tooltips.js and replaced all instance of "wowwiki" with my site, but still haven't had any luck. I've been using the, copy/pasted from wowwiki, in an attempt to test it. I've read through the previous comments on your talk page regarding this, but still have not been successful. Any information you can offer to help me get this working would be appreciated! My wiki's site is http://wiki.project-saros.com - Also, I feel I should mention that I have a ShortURL .htaccess file to "clean up" the displayed URLs in my wiki. everything is in the /wiki directory (http://wiki.project-saros.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page), but it shortens it to the /w directory (http://wiki.project-saros.com/w/Main_Page). Thanks in advance - Darklyte (talk) 18:29, October 31, 2009 (UTC)
 * I spent the rest of yesterday and most of today trying to figure out whats wrong, but I still can't get it to work :( I'd gladly give you admin rights to help get this fleshed out.  Thanks again.  --Darklyte (talk) 19:25, November 1, 2009 (UTC)
 * You are missing some functions from MediaWiki:Common.js. -- 19:41, November 1, 2009 (UTC)
 * I wasn't sure what to take from the Common.js, so I just took (and modified) the line that referenced Tooltip.js. I copied the whole thing now, but still no good :( --Darklyte (talk) 19:51, November 1, 2009 (UTC)

why are you doing this I told you I have permission! I just have high hopes alote of people liked this event maybe people will take it into consideration at blizzard. I do not own a warcraft account! I cannot post in the blizzard forums I need someone else to do that for me. just calm your little spazzic self down okay its nothing you are involved with right?Biscuit12 (talk) 02:34, November 5, 2009 (UTC)biscuit12
 * Quit harassing me. I am just saying it is against the Blizzard forum rules. -- 02:37, November 5, 2009 (UTC)
 * To be fair, Pcj, all you told him was that it was against forum rules; you never specified that you were referring to BLIZZARD's forum rules, so it looked like you were saying it wasn't allowed on the WoWWiki forums, hence his frustration and why I moved it to his userpage. -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 02:42, November 5, 2009 (UTC)
 * I said "Petitions don't work, and are against the official forum policies." in response to his advertisement about posting a petition on the official forums. I think it was fairly plain. -- 02:44, November 5, 2009 (UTC)

listen you caused a little confusion and I now understand what you mean. and ive actually seen a petition in blizzards official forum just listen Ive worked out the plan for the petition and I know what Im doing I wasnt trying to be mean alright.Biscuit12 (talk) 02:56, November 5, 2009 (UTC)biscuit12

Question
Question: Since I have you're attention, I mine aswell ask you a question. It's a pretty dumb one but I'm a pretty dumb person.

Whats the difference between a charbox and an npcbox. Howcome some people use an npcbox instead of a charbox for they're characters? Which do you reccomend I use for my character pages? Why?


 * Charbox is specialized for characters, as it has slots for character profession, and Realm. Npcbox is intended for non-player characters, for whom realm is unimportant, but who would have a fixed locale.  Why would people use npcbox to describe their characters in the game?  I really don't know.  It isn't well suited to doing so, aside from having a spot for a picture.  Maybe they aren't aware of the other template? --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 19:58, November 5, 2009 (UTC)

Pull data through tooltips?
Hey pcj. I'm just wondering, is it possible to pull out a specific piece of information from tooltips? Like, could I specifically pull the dps from, or the cooldown of , or the materials of ?

RE:Azeroth on user pages
No, I'm not guessing. I read the section and if it says something like: "Azeroth and Outland" they should be referring to the planet, or if they say: "the world of Azeroth". Sometimes I cross with the kingdom and continent, like when they said something like: "in Booty Bay in eastern Azeroth" they are referring to the continent or: "Azeroth was destroyed in the First War" then its the kingdom. However the 90% of the links refer to the planet :) Benitoperezgaldos (talk) 20:41, November 13, 2009 (UTC)


 * AFAIK, Azeroth is never referred to as a continent; Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms (and Northrend) are the continents... --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 01:15, November 17, 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry, try again. -- 01:20, November 17, 2009 (UTC)


 * To Eirik Ratcatcher: Thats not absolutely true. Eastern Kingdoms, by many a person, is referred to as Azeroth. Azeroth is not just a planet that holds Northrend, Eastern Kingsdoms, and Kalimdor. Azeroth can technically be interchanged with Eastern Kingdoms freely and still be "correct". Also, Stormwind can be called "The Kingdom of Azeroth". Also, the continent of Azeroth is one of three that form the Eastern Kingdoms.

So, not only is there more than 1 meaning for Azeroth, theres actually FOUR! So please read up before commenting ;D TeeSon5 (talk) 01:23, November 17, 2009 (UTC)

Guild: Potato Sack of Tomatoes Drak'tharon
Pardon, but I'm curious as to why this article was deleted. It was a popular article among my friends and realms, and I came on to add more onto it. I'm a bit taken aback why it was randomly deleted after almost a year of its existence. If it's because the guild Potato Sack of Tomatoes has transferred back to Dragonmaw and needed an updated realm tag, that could've been arranged. I'd please like a restoration or at least a way to retrieve all of the work that was put into it, so I can begin a new guild page on the appropriate realm. Or, ideally, if you could restore the page and fix the realm? Please consider all of the time and effort put into that article, and its longevity. I would like to also put one last point in that this article was in no way intended to be a wikisquatting article, as the Potato Sack of Tomatoes guild has transferred among many servers and has a reputable recognition. Thank you. Diagas (talk) 23:52, November 16, 2009 (UTC)
 * Apologies, but the name of the page is very important. When I check to see if the guild exists in the official Armory and it doesn't I am forced to assume it has disbanded.  I will restore it and fix it as you indicated.  Thanks for following up on this. -- 00:15, November 17, 2009 (UTC)
 * I see that you have restored it when I go to the page, but it's still not appearing. Is there some sort of process I'm supposed to go through to regain all of the old material for the page to move it to Dragonmaw? Thanks. Diagas (talk) 02:27, November 18, 2009 (UTC)

Twink Guide Deleted
Hey just wondering why this page was deleted. http://www.wowpedia.org/Level_60_hunter_twinking_guide Kiingy (talk) 23:14, November 17, 2009 (UTC)Kiingy
 * 60 twinks don't exist anymore, the brackets were changed. -- 23:17, November 17, 2009 (UTC)
 * If I may, allow me to elaborate in case theres some confusion. It used to be that you had to be level 51 to go into AV, and the brackets were from [51-60], [61-70], [71-80]. However, it has been changed now that 59, 69, and 79 (with 80s in their own bracket for 80s only) now cap the brackets. So if you were to enter an AV at level 60, you would be pummeled by the level 69s. TeeSon5 (talk) 23:28, November 17, 2009 (UTC)

I know the PvP bracket has been changed but 60 twinking is still very much alive. Kiingy (talk) 05:32, November 18, 2009 (UTC)Kiingy

World PvP and also PvE. http://www.wowarmory.com/guild-info.xml?r=Frostmourne&n=Insomn%C3%AFa

That guild is a 60 Twink guild and still has new twinks joining all the time. Even if you still think it's pointless, could you at least move it to my talk page or something? Or at the very least bring the page back just for a day so I can copy it.Kiingy (talk) 10:05, November 23, 2009 (UTC)Kiingy

World Drops - Poor and Common? / Also sig question
Can I consider adding two categories:

One for world drops (like trash (weapon/armor)drops) and one for  world drops, such as the Level 1-10 common items that drop in lowbie zones?

Page tooltips in Category Namespace
Hopefully this is my last question for you, pcj. I notice that the tooltip function works in categories to say if the category has subpages. In my wiki it doesn't work, but that's neither here no there. I'm wondering if it is possible, in conjunction with Categorytree (or not), to have the tooltip function show tooltips of pages from categories? So, for example, if you were in Category:Gnome Engineering and you moused over it would show the tooltip for GDR. Is that something that is possible? Darklyte (talk) 23:11, November 19, 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, it is possible. Working with CategoryTree might be stretching it. -- 23:14, November 19, 2009 (UTC)

 * Guild:%D0%98%D1%81%D0%B8%D0%BB%D1%8C %D0%9A%D0%B0%D0%BB%D0%B5 (%D0%93%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%B4%D1%83%D0%BD%D0%BD%D0%B8 EU). For the server page Europe is spelled out but for guild pages it is EU. -- 21:26, November 22, 2009 (UTC)

Thank you very much. Going to correct all references with that statement on a server page soon.

Re: You ok?
Short answer, not really. Problems at home that I'm working on. Thanks for thinking of me. 3:43 AM, 23 Nov 2009 (EDT)
 * Short update. I have at least one job offer in Seattle and maybe even 2. I'm moving wrapping up here, finishing up the interview for the second position, and moving over the next couple of weeks. It's totally crazy and amazing and it's going to turn around my life so I can't wait. We'll see how work ramps up but I hope to get back into more Warcraft when things have finally settled down, hopefully by March. Keep in touch. 7:28 PM, 29 Jan 2010 (EDT)
 * The short story (even though it's a long one) is that I'm wonderful. I love it here, and I'm so thrilled to have moved and really taken the reigns on my life. As a result, I have a pretty healthy social life now, on top of pretty long work hours. I'm sure I'll find myself back to contributing, but I probably won't be able to do as much of the theorycrafting articles and such, as I'm not up to date on all the patch changes while I've been out. 6:38 PM, 14 Mar 2010 (EDT)
 * Do we have an approximate when the expansion is coming yet? 6:50 PM, 14 Mar 2010 (EDT)

Deletion of guild page The Stonewall Family - Proudmoore-US
Can you please restore the page for http://www.wowpedia.org/Guild:The_Stonewall_Family_(Proudmoore_US) -- the guild in question is a Meta-Guild -- comprised of several sub-guilds -- and the individual sub-guild The Stonewall Family does indeed exist in the Armory http://www.wowarmory.com/guild-info.xml?r=Proudmoore&gn=The+Stonewall+Family --- we hold that charter as well. If you need more information on the meta-guild I can provide it. Thanks! Workingclassdog (talk) 20:22, November 23, 2009 (UTC)
 * Guilds are considered to be disbanded or non-operational if there are fewer than ten characters appearing in it on the Armory. I suggest getting more members and then recreating the page for this specific guild, or moving the entire "meta guild" - the term is "group of guilds" on WoWWiki - as a subpage of your server's page, e.g., Server:Proudmoore US/The Stonewall Family. -- 22:52, November 23, 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the response - I'll setup the subpage. However - with respect to "group of guilds" that definition doesn't apply to The Stonewall Family or Taint on the horde side -- we are meta-guilds -- a group of sub-guilds with a common guild leader and officers -- created due to the fact that Blizzard caps guild membership at 500 players. So it appears a new definition needs to be added... as there are many meta-guilds in Wow beyond just Proudmoore.

U deleted a page
For Guild:Resurrection_(Duskwood_US) - Your Reason is Guild Disbanded. No it didnt u might wanna check the guild Site that was listed before u make an assumption like that.
 * It does not exist on Armory. -- 04:11, November 26, 2009 (UTC)

 * http://www.wowarmory.com/guild-info.xml?r=Duskwood&n=The%20Resurrection
 * When I orginally made the page it did have the "The" before it not sure why its not there now
 * Restored your page and moved it to Guild:The Resurrection (Duskwood US). Be sure to make it follow policy before 30 days are up. -- 04:17, November 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * What Policy isnt it following
 * WP:GUILD. -- 04:19, November 26, 2009 (UTC)

 * You need to add appropriate categorization. -- 04:23, November 26, 2009 (UTC)

Guild: The First Fleet (Eonar US)
Why did you delete this guild page? The guild has not be disbanded and is currently very active and many members? If you deleted it because a Wow Armory search came up blank, that's because (as the page itself noted) there is a space at the end of the guild's name. ActionGaz (talk) 21:35, November 26, 2009 (UTC)

Garrettes Privateers guild page taken down
I am wondering why this was done? Stated reason was "Disbanded guild", but they are still there and still active. They would appreciate it if http://www.wowpedia.org/index.php?title=Guild:Garrettes_Privateers_(Kargath_US) was restored. Thank you. Glavil (talk) 03:32, November 27, 2009 (UTC)

Recreation does not extend the time limit Explination
I do not understand the reason for this Guild page being deleted. Please elaborate. The Guild Box template was used, guidelines on the WW:Guild template were followed and there was only informational text.

Ariule (talk) 15:47, November 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * It lacked Guild at the top. -- 16:23, November 27, 2009 (UTC)


 * Please explain the "Time Limit" issue then. I was also under the impression that using the Guildbox template would have included this tag. Ariule (talk) 16:50, November 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * Per WP:GUILD, guild pages which have already been deleted after 30 days as stubs and which are recreated as stubs are subject to immediate deletion. -- 17:55, November 27, 2009 (UTC)

Cloak of Frozen Spirits edit
May I ask why the Source information was removed?

Per Tailoring Grandmaster Patterns the cloak is listed at level 395 and checking with the Charles Worth in Dalaran it was listed for.

I am attempting to learn coding as fast as possible, however, many administrative edits lack documentation in order to improve the articles instead of simple deletion.
 * You wrote Glacial Robe instead of Cloak of Frozen Spirits, I thought it was an accidental copy and paste. -- 03:09, November 29, 2009 (UTC)


 * I was working on both and certainly must have copied pasted like you thought. Thank you for catching that. Ariule (talk) 03:11, November 29, 2009 (UTC)

Curious to know what deleted Guild Page said...
I did a Google search for my name and guild and to my surprise i found a page on WoWwilki. But was sad to see that it had been deleted a few days earlier. I am curious to know what the page said, Especialy about me. I cant see any reason for the deletion and all the log says was... "23:21, September 25, 2009 Pcj (Talk | contribs) deleted "Guild:Cult of Nerox (Lightninghoof US)" ‎ (Guild stub article: content was: '  The Cult of Nerox is a prominent Horde role-play (RP) guild on Lightninghoof RP/PvP server. It is a heavy RP, light PvE and medium PvP guild. Although it is labeled as a heavy RP)"

In the google search i can see "Guild:Cult of Nerox (Lightninghoof US) - WoWWiki - Your guide to ... In early 2008, the Tauren Druid Direbear joined the Cult. In March 2008 Direbear began to sponsor the guild website, and he quickly became an active and ..." ... and... and what? Id love to know what this page said even if its not restored. Perhaps you could email me the contents? Was there something wrong with the pages content or just its format?

I like to know what was written about me. (yer im that Tauren Druid the page refers to.)

Thanks!
 * influential guild officer. A passionate and dependable guild member, Direbear took it upon himself to promote and organize RP events, recruit, and maintain the guild website.

Recent revert
Hi, Pcj. May I ask why was my edit in Wowpedia:Lore policy reverted?, that section really needs cleanup as the information in there is not accurate. Benitoperezgaldos (talk) 05:19, December 1, 2009 (UTC)
 * There is a process for large changes to policy which you did not follow. Please propose the changes before making changes to policy.  Thank you. -- 13:32, December 1, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, I am really sorry, I didn't knew.
 * After a search I found Wowpedia:Policy votes. That's the one I should follow, right? Benitoperezgaldos (talk) 17:05, December 1, 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes. -- 17:12, December 1, 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok, thanks for the answer. Benitoperezgaldos (talk) 17:33, December 1, 2009 (UTC)

Stormreaver US
Could you restore everything you just took off of Stormreaver_US wiki page? It was an unnecessary removal of a lot of material and I don't want to have to go through the trouble to fix it. Thanks.
 * No, it violates policy. -- 19:51, December 1, 2009 (UTC)

How? It's been up for a year or two. Stop hurting Stormreaver.
 * WP:NPOV. -- 00:54, December 2, 2009 (UTC)

Which is being handled. This is the 3rd time you've disrupted the page. I've fixed that NPOV every time without having large chunks of the page taken out.
 * Way to just contradict yourself. It has not been up for a year or two. Lists of subjectively famous people on a realm are against WP:NPOV. -- 01:00, December 2, 2009 (UTC)

Pcj: given your reprimand to Benitoperezgaldos here, I find your unilateral decree on 'famous people on servers' jarring. In particular, your WP:NPOV objection invites the question "What objective qualifiers are acceptable?" A qualifier of "on/about this date" seems a good first step. Would you also ask for some form of poll or other statistical measure? Nomination (ala WP:CRAZY) seems entirely unworkable, we have a hard enough time with ANY vote, let alone one that specific. Given that, one must fall back on the experience of someone who is there, and perhaps let a "no he isn't famous" argument develop. Assuming enough people actually care...

Would you care to describe those qualifiers (outside of world/realm-first) that would qualify such a list? --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 01:51, December 3, 2009 (UTC)
 * I would say bearers of legendary items, Ahn'Qiraj gate openers, Blizzard-recognized players, and similar achievements would be properly meritorious. In any case, lists of famous trolls are right out. -- 01:55, December 3, 2009 (UTC)
 * I'd exercise caution with "bearers of legendary items"... the items suffer some amount of 'desirability' deterioration over time. And I don't think the temporary items from The Eye would count.... --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 00:49, December 5, 2009 (UTC)
 * It's still an accomplishment which is objectively recognizable. And no, The Eye weapons would not count. -- 01:14, December 5, 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree with what you have to say PCJ, a player like Oxhorn is a noteworthy player, while I would not fall under that category. Trolls in PARTICULAR should never be considered noteworthy, because it takes no skill to be a troll, in addition trolls provide no positive reinforcement for a server.

DELETION/ RESTORE GUILD PAGE
Hello Pcj you recently deleted my guild page Guild:Mages Powers (Shadow Council US. It was changed and moved a couple times ( Your page was moved to Guild:Mages Powers (Shadow Council US).

Main Page Advice
Hi, wasn't sure who to contact. I'm from Redwall, and I recently re-designed my main page. I've found your main page and mine both make use of the 2-column style, however my main page is acting wonky on different screen resolutions or if the window is resized; the boxes have spacing issues. I was looking for some advice on how to fix this. And while I'm here, I just noticed your nifty tooltips. How do those work? -- LordTBT Talk! 20:05, December 8, 2009 (UTC)
 * You probably need to mess with some CSS width/max-width settings to get the look you want. If that doesn't help I'll take a look this weekend.  Tooltips are created using JS (MediaWiki:Tooltips.js).  If you want to use it on your wiki you probably want to copy/mess around with User:Pcj/simple.js instead. -- 04:51, December 9, 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm honestly not sure what needs the tweaking. If you'd take a look, I'd really appreciate it. -- LordTBT Talk! 07:33, December 13, 2009 (UTC)
 * OK, made some adjustments, let me know if that works. -- 20:46, December 19, 2009 (UTC)


 * The adjustments work in that there is no longer a big ugly white space, however if the window is resized, some boxes still crash into each other, additionally I can't seem to adjust the box widths (previously they were all the same width, now they are different) -- LordTBT <font color="Green" size="2">Talk! 01:15, December 20, 2009 (UTC)
 * They should not crash into each other anymore. I would recommend not specifying width in pixels. -- 03:04, December 20, 2009 (UTC)
 * Not crashing any more, however some other problems have arisen. The spacing between the Greeting and News boxes should be the same spacing for all the boxes. Also, the spacing between the Greeting and Facebook box should be the same all the way down too. -- <font color="Green">LordTBT  <font color="Green" size="2">Talk! 03:27, December 20, 2009 (UTC)
 * OK, that should do it. -- 04:03, December 20, 2009 (UTC)
 * Almost there! (I appreciate your time and help!) The New Fan Fiction box is a bit too far to the right, and there's a little too much space in between it and the Images box. -- <font color="Green">LordTBT <font color="Green" size="2">Talk! 04:20, December 20, 2009 (UTC)

If you make an account from WOW, will that picture then being on the site?--Station7 (talk) 20:23, December 11, 2009 (UTC)

Guild Deletion
I checked on our guild page this morning ( http://www.wowpedia.org/Guild:The_Earth_Walkers_(Darkmoon_Faire_EU) ) to see that you have deleted it due to disbanding. This is not the case and I believe that if you had researched it you may have searched for 'The Earth Walkers' whereas our name is 'Earth Walkers' in-game. A mistake on our part to have titled the page in this way and one that will be rectified once the page is restored. This could have been avoided, however, by a little more research on your part; a check of our website (the link to which was on the wiki page) would have shown you that we are quite active!

As a bit of a wiki noob, how would I go about restoring our page? I do have a backup copy with the relevant markup but I don't think it was as up-to-date as the page itself.

Porting Tooltips
Hi there. First, thanks so much for allowing people to use the scripts you've developed for displaying tooltips on external wikis. It sure beats trying to reinvent the wheel!

I've sort of got this functionality working on my new wiki, but I'm a bit lost at this point. I've checked through User:Pcj and the previous messages here on your talk page, as well as numerous other Template pages here on WoWWiki, but it's really difficult to find the installation/set up information I need to get this working, particularly in a sequential order.

This is the page I'm using currently to test this functionality on my wiki. As you can see there, it's generating the hovers for the tooltips, but it's not actually finding the item data to display and I'm not sure why that is. (I do understand that here on WoWWiki, the script looks for the local page for the item and generates the tooltip from there, but I'm not sure how to convert that to just finding the tooltip data from an external database.) I had thought it might be a matter of editing the js files to specify which database it should be checking for items on and I tried tinkering with that a bit but no dice. I'm sure I must be missing something extremely obvious here, but I can't for the life of me think what that might be.

Any help you could provide would be extremely helpful. (And yes, I'd be more than happy to grant you admin access to my wiki in order to accomplish whatever needs doing.)

Thanks so much! Lassirra 10:57, December 22, 2009 (UTC)
 * Are you trying to pull tooltip data from WoWWiki or another source? To pull the tooltip data from WoWWiki, you would have to change the URL in function getInfo.  However, it will probably give you XSS (cross-site scripting) errors and not work.  I will have to think how to implement it as it would probably require some JS at WoWWiki to work. -- 13:37, December 22, 2009 (UTC)
 * Ideally, I'd like to pull tooltip data directly from WoWHead (just as you would on a blog, for example). Maybe I'm going about it the wrong way? I understand WoWHead has their "powered by" section with their script, but I'm very new to wiki management so I wasn't sure how to implement their script on a wiki. Checking around for getting tooltip displays on wikis was how I came across your script, so I assumed (perhaps incorrectly?) that it was what I needed. Pulling tooltip data from WoWWiki would also work. I'm just not sure which is easiest/most efficient. I apologize for my ignorance, and appreciate your help very much. [[File:IconSmall Vereesa.gif]] Lassirra 20:51, December 22, 2009 (UTC)

AV Brackets changed back.
Pcj, As the AV brackets have been changed back to 51-60 and 61-70 would it be possible to have this page restored? http://www.wowpedia.org/Level_60_hunter_twinking_guide Since the reason it was deleted no longer applies. Kiingy (talk) 06:15, January 11, 2010 (UTC)

Alpha
I've collected few screenshots and videos (judgehype, WoR, MMO) of the early stages of World of Warcraft, mostly of the Alpha and Beta (personnaly participated in the second one). I am allowed to post them or are they DNP? (early models, interface, graphics, etc...)

Thanks in advance.

 * It will be fine as long as it's not datamined, not from a private server, and not an alpha build for which there is a current NDA in effect. -- 16:05, January 15, 2010 (UTC)

Hmm, never knew the capital cities used to be more complex. Shame only 2 you listed are official blizzard released videos. 22:06, January 15, 2010 (UTC)

Dungeon finder breakdown
I had made it a separate page for two reasons: First, it had the potential to be quite large. Separation allowed the pages to be smaller. Second, it separated table edits from text edits. The breakdown page was likely to (and did) have a large number of updates. That isolated the table history, which seemed somewhat worthwhile to me. ... and I could not predict whether there would be an application for components of the breakdown page to find their way to other pages.

History lost, if it mattered in the first place. Done, now, though. I'll live. --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 19:21, January 22, 2010 (UTC)

Lock a Guild Page
Greetings, as founder and page builder of our Guild Page (http://www.wowpedia.org/Guild%3APORTUCALE_%28Frostmane_EU%29) i have one question. Is it possible for me to lock the page to prevent others of changing (vandalize) ? and unlock it when i need to update it ?

Thank You
 * Not really, that would be too much over-management (wikis are supposed to be free to edit). However I can lock it down against newly-created users and get onto whoever is giving you trouble. -- 19:34, January 29, 2010 (UTC)

Ok. Thank you very much. Regards.

Thank You!
I just wanted to thank you for protecting those pages (Arthas, Bolvar, Lich King) that you did. I was all for finding out the spoilers, so I'm thanking you on behalf of people that aren't registered here, who don't want stories they like spoiled. --Super Bhaal (talk) 02:47, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * It's not about posting spoilers, it's about posting unreleased content. Tomorrow after the patch those edits are fair game. -- 02:48, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Are they? because i was about to ask you to reportect those pages. I thought they werent fair game till someone saw the cinematic on live servers, not through being datamined. 18:17, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * The video is openly accessible from the files as of released patch 3.3.2, no datamining necessary. And datamined released information is fine anyway. -- 18:28, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Does this means that "DO NOT ADD SPOILERS REGARDING THE FINAL CUTSCENE OF WOTLK UNTIL RELEASED BY BLIZZARD OR SEEN IN GAME ON LIVE SERVERS. SEE 'DO NOT POST' POLICY" on 3 or 4 articles are useless and we can post about it?
 * 18:32, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Edit: Got my answer xD
 * 18:33, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Geez three edit conflicts in a row. Well nothing more that hasn't been said. 18:35, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Please define "openly accessible," and tell me when releasing datamined information was "fine." -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 18:38, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * The video is stored in normal AVI format in a subdirectory of the Data directory in your WoW folder. Released, announced content is fine to datamine per WP:DNP.  However, datamining stuff not seen in-game often leads to speculation which is against DNP.  Since the cinematic explains itself and is released (and was actually even announced prior to the patch) it is fine. -- 19:29, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah, I thought it was embedded in the MPQ files. If it WERE embedded in the files rather than sitting in the cinematics folder, however, wouldn't that still be considered datamining until someone beat the Lich King? As I recall, similar details about Kil'jaeden (and the legendary bow specifically) were suppressed until it was actually encountered on live servers. -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 19:36, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Item drops and boss spells are largely speculation until we see the boss in action. -- 19:46, February 2, 2010 (UTC)

Tooltip Export
Hello,

Ive seen what you've done on Aionopedia.com and love its application into the world of Aion, Sadly that wiki has fallen into disrepair and im rebuilding a similar wiki at www.aionopedia.info. Are you able to contact me about exporting a similar tooltip interface to my MediaWiki site? you can find contact me at mithaol22(at0gmail(dot)(com), I can give you administrator access, ask what you need in return and i would be extremely grateful.

Thanks

Opinion needed, please
Hi, I wanted your input on a matter: should I start a Deletion process on Category:Templates that should have been local? I'm currently traversing the category system to get to know the site and see where can I help, and that category seems pretty unnecessary: It's empty, and the last discussion about it is 2-3 years old. However, as I'm pretty new around here (I have a little bit of experience with Mediawiki and Wikipedia's systems, but each site has its own rules) I don't know if a deletion process is in order. Could you point me to the right thing to do? Thank you in advance. PS: I selected you to ask because you were somehow involved in the voting. Scarbrowtalk 18:24, March 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * Apparently, there are still forces that view the category as useful. --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 22:07, March 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Fixed. -- 00:26, March 4, 2010 (UTC)

Forum:Gem type categories
Were the references to the various categories causing problems? If it was a matter of categories that are now dead-and-gone being redlinks, I think that instead of nowiki'ing them, un-linkifying them might have been a better option, given what nowiki did to page layout. --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 19:23, March 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * The more I look at the page, though, the more that your nowiki tags don't make any sense. I'm not even sure they'd make the difference between "this page links to that dead category" and not. Lots and lots and lots of links in the comments.  --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 19:26, March 10, 2010 (UTC)

Thank You
Thanks for the welcome, Pcj! A couple years late, but definitely better late than never. :) I don't really contribute anymore since my best contribution was shot down for being baseless speculation despite me putting the speculation header AND I put the source of said speculation. Which is more than I can say for other wildly baseless speculation around here. Now I just lurk. Feel free to delete this, of course. I just wanted to say that I acknowledge and appreciate your welcome. -- Uncle Troll (talk) 15:48, March 11, 2010 (UTC)

You undid my Sauron and Yogg-Saron connection
Well, do you have the power to create visions? I don't think so. They are both two powerful beings that can create visions in some way and sharing almost the exact same name. They could've made Yogg-Saron good at ANYTHING BUT VISIONS... And it's rather annoying when people like you come and delete my editions! It's not like I just feel like jabbering.


 * Giving people visions is not the same as having a giant eye... -- 16:38, March 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * I am not talking about the film, my dear. I have read the books, in the books Tolkien hardly mentions a red giant eye. I know what I am talking about.

Deletion
Just curious about why the page Kenzucha was deleted. (And additionally, why it wasn't stated with the deletion to avoid having to come ask here...)
 * No poster ID and couldn't find any posts for him. Also we aren't going to have a page for every Blizzard employee just because they work for Blizzard.  Merged most of the forum posters with no info to Blizzard forum posters. -- 15:30, March 24, 2010 (UTC)

As with elinks-npc, so with elinks-item, as seen here. Could you duplicate your change, and perhaps examine other elinks templates for a replication of that same fault? --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 20:29, March 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thought I got them all. -- 21:01, March 25, 2010 (UTC)

Um... I've found another problem, that may be related to your recent changes, maybe not. item, itembox and Achievementlong all provide a blank (for me) instead of a redlink, if the referred page does not exist. --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 21:03, March 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * That's happened in the past and it was a Wikia problem. In any case if it is local this time the suspect edit would be on tooltip.  I'll check with Wikia. -- 21:11, March 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * Not sure that it could be exclusive to Tooltip, if it's on Achievementlong. It might be on all templates with the same mechanic, though.  --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 21:19, March 25, 2010 (UTC)

Hi,

the page got deleted by you in April 2009, I didn't create it but edited it once. As I wanted to check out on the contents, I just found the message that it was deleted.

Guild Deletion: The Irresponsibles
"The Irresponsibes" has been a large guild on Earthen Ring since 2005 and becoming part of it's history. I created a page regarding the guild and its history and structure, and it's future. There was a link to their website, which i've seen others do, so I don't believe that to be a DNP. I'm not sure what was on there that you did not approve of? but I would be happy to adjust it to suit if that would be possible?
 * It did not have required categorization per WP:GUILD. -- 01:54, March 29, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks Pcj for editing my first post into a readable format.

it really wasen't that many, and I felt like King Varian's profile could use some updating with some fanart.

What should I do to getting this Fanart to STAY on there?

Did I Somehow Violate some kind of Rule? im not sure how since if you mouse over the pictures for a second or 2 then the picture title and the name of the person who made it will show up.

Notorious Deletion
Hey, Pcj. I was a new poster to Wowwikia (note the word "was"), but I had trouble when I first put up the info about our guild. You moved the page someplace else. I assumed that you moved it because I had labeled it wrong, so I made my new edits to the new location. Then, on April 6th, you deleted that page as well.

I just wanted to let you know that I did not fully understand what I did wrong. It said something like it needed content revisions? Since I don't understand how this site works, and I obviously don't know enough to post a simple page, I have just removed all mention of our guild Notorious from your wikia site.

I am sorry for the problems that I caused you in having to move our guild's wikia page and then delete it. I really had no idea that I was doing anything against policy. You don't happen to know if there is a section on here for us newbies where we can figure out what/how we are supposed to do stuff, do you?

Thanks,

Vad
 * The page was moved and later deleted per WP:GUILD. A stub notice was on the page for 30 days prior to deletion.  You should probably familiarize yourself with WoWWiki policies. -- 15:12, April 12, 2010 (UTC)

Patroller Demotions
I saw you've demoted many Patrollers, and i can only assume this is based on activity as i can't find a discussion on it. I'd like to point out that i do still check the site daily -- often limited to my watchlist but expanding from there -- and will be reverting vandalism still when i see it, so i wouldn't say i've been that inactive or ineffective -- just far lass than i once was. I'm not too bothered by the abilities that come with the position, just the principle of the demotion being unecessary, and as Kirkburn has pointed me towards Forum:Problem report solvers as a future change to Patrollers, i wouldn't mind having that oppertunity too. -- 14:25, April 19, 2010 (UTC)

Simple Tooltip (Image)
Hello Pcj! I am at a loss, and regretfully must ask you for help, as I cannot do this by myself, and believe you have the expertise to help me. I wish to create a tooltip that causes an image to appear within the box, nothing else. An example is at, where I want the image on the right to appear on a hover of a link titled "Red Sparkle Formula". Any help would be massively appreciated.

That looks great. How would I go about implementing that? I saw your complex array of templates, and seek well, just one if possible:). Thank you for your quick response. BeardedBee (talk) 00:15, April 23, 2010 (UTC)

I'm sorry but it seems you might have to walk me through every tiny step:P.. I've done what you've said, stuck the simple.js into my MediaWiki:Common.js, and created a temple with your code called Template:Tooltip .. Though my problem now is getting a link to appear and an image to appear when I hover over it. Could you possibly post an example?

Hi Pcj, I'm sorry to bother you again but I'm not sure who else to turn to to fix my tooltip problem. Is there any chance I could give you full rights on and you can help me sort it out? I understand if now, but I'd be forever grateful if you could enable these tooltips for me. Kind regards. BeardedBee (talk) 12:26, May 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sure. -- 12:29, May 23, 2010 (UTC)

Rights given:) BeardedBee (talk) 16:03, May 23, 2010 (UTC) By the way, I noticed the tooltip-template-combo that showed the location of NPCs on maps. Very nice. Though I imagine it's far more complicated than the tooltips I'm currently requesting, and am already humbled by even your response, so it shall just remain a passing comment that I like them.. :) I look forward to your help whenever you have time BeardedBee (talk) 22:20, May 23, 2010 (UTC)

I've been trying out the tooltips, trying also to not mess with them too much, and they appear to not be working ideally. I moved the page to to make it shorter and free up the main tooltip page. I hope this wouldn't mess with it. The problem I'm experiencing is whenever I implement the tooltip, it forces a new line to start, and the hover effect is present for a whole line, and not just when the text is hovered over. I've created a test page:, is there any chance you could show me how it should be done? Kind regards BeardedBee (talk) 14:09, May 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Fixed it. -- 23:49, May 24, 2010 (UTC)

So you have!:) Truely incredible. I will endeavour to learn javascript and hopefully one day will be able to help people like you've helped me. Thank you very much PCJ, you've been incredibly generous. BeardedBee (talk) 10:06, May 25, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry to bother you again Pcj, but ideally I'd like to make the tooltip more efficient and tidier. Ideally the tooltip will be (after the page Template:Tti is moved to Template:item). I'd like some kind of auto-grab for the image within the template Template:Infobox Item. I really don't like burdening you, but if it's time consuming could you possibility at least point me towards how I can learn such code?:) I've learnt a lot from observing your changes, but clearly not yet enough. BeardedBee (talk) 23:34, May 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Your best bet is to look through the way Tooltip and Item interact here. -- 23:35, May 27, 2010 (UTC)

Oh trust me I've tried:). I've just had another good hard look at it, and I can't even see a mention of the item template on the tooltip template, which I'd expect (shows my lack of understanding). I'm utterly confused by "arg" and the 1s and 2s with endless brackets surrounding them. Hmm.BeardedBee (talk) 00:00, May 28, 2010 (UTC)

I feel like I'm trying to alter a painting with a mallet as a brush. Is there any chance you could fix it and I can learn from how you did it?:) It's making my head spin a bit. Is there a manual for this kind of stuff? BeardedBee (talk) 00:37, May 28, 2010 (UTC)

That's a bit of magic, that:). You said I need to make it grab from the page I'm trying to retrieve, though I don't understand how is linked to the page it retrieves. I also notice my challenge is to sort out a template that automatically does onlyinclude. I think I can do that. BeardedBee (talk) 01:05, May 28, 2010 (UTC)

RE: What Widget?
Something that users get by default or can switch to using by going into 'my preferences' the 'skin' tab and checking the box for "Check this box to use the custom WoWWiki Monaco skin (recommended). This will override skin choices made above. This setting will follow you across Wikia."

Then clicking on 'more' near the log out link and selecting 'manage widgets' will give you a bunch of devices to attach to your browser. One of them is for searching pages that need images.... or was I can't seem to locate it right now. Normally I have this all turned off, I prefer the old wowwiki skin... Maybe it was removed, oh I found it, not a widget a Special:WikiStickies which gets displayed on Special:MyHome. 01:04, April 24, 2010 (UTC)

Jungle Troll Height
the height given for jungle trolls is 6'1" - 7'1 while orcs are given 6' 6" - 8' 6, Tauren info says there about 7' 2" - 9, and night elves are said to be 6'6" - 7'6. This information depicts trolls as shorter, World Of Warcraft presents Jungle trolls as taller. Copperblast (talk) 01:03, April 26, 2010 (UTC)

Hmm.. more images
Here's an interesting example... and it didn't used to be like this, must have changed recently... The page Witchbane Torch has two images, but if you click on either of them, neither show it links somewhere. Editing the page, you'll see cause they have Image: instead of File:, but Image: used to work just fine before =( ... so basically any and every page linking images using Image: rather than File: is going to show up in the Special:UnusedFiles.  00:58, April 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hmm, interesting. I edited the page to use File and they both showed up as you said, then I went back to edit it back to Image on one of them and that still showed the link. It may be that pages with no edits since the Image -> File transition (or another more arbitrary point) may not properly link to the image.  I am guessing that perhaps the newfangled method of gallery editing probably does not update the database accurately in a similar way. -- 01:02, April 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sounds plausible... perhaps we need a bot to go through all pages with images and change Image: to File: ? 01:05, April 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Probably. -- 01:06, April 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Image: and File: are interchangeable on all wikis - the problem could be like the otherday when every page with the __NOWYSIWYG__ tag was showing the tag when it should be invisible - later in the day Wikia staff said that they were messing with the code and the tag should go back to being invisible when they are done. This could have been the case here: -- 02:43, April 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * I think you misunderstood the issue. -- 02:45, April 30, 2010 (UTC)

User:Sa.hsf
I got hit a few unique times by "your IP is blocked" with that user's name as the relevant name attached to the IP address. This was during rapid-fire page requests; one page would be blocked, and the requests to either side weren't; re-requesting to edit succeeded. No idea what was going on there.

But it did prompt me to look at the user, and the page he was editing. I think you would have saved yourself some trouble after the first iteration of "not a stub" "is too" "is not", if you'd pointed him at the guild page policy page. But ... it's your time. :) --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 20:06, May 3, 2010 (UTC)

What links here on deleted or uncreateed pages
How much work would it be to edit the editing a page that does not exist page to have a what links here link? Many times I've clicked a redlink and and then wondered what else linked there.

YUI
Hey Pcj, Thanks for the interest in helping port YUI stuff to jQuery. We actually have a list of the components of the site which use YUI (last time I checked anyway). I've moved it to a public wiki here so that the community can collab on it: http://dev.wikia.com/wiki/Removing_YUI I might be the only person updating that page, so it's possible other things have gone completely off of YUI (it sounds like that might be the case for CategorySelect, but I'm not sure).

Edit of Guild:The Companion Cube (Eonar EU)
Hello,

You have just edited Guild:The Companion Cube (Eonar EU). I saw you removed my comment at the bottom of the page. I'm assuming my comment shouldn't have been there. Could you tell me where I should have put it instead? Or point me to the guideline I have apparently overlooked before creating the page?

As this was the first page I created from scratch on WoWWiki I'm looking for as much feedback as possible.

Thanks!

 * It is not a link to a specific patch page but rather a general link to the downloads page, which go to the bottom per the rules. -- 16:12, June 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well I just think your being picky there, The rules stats that the link provided must be that of the patch and not a general website!

The link provided is to patches only, yes there all on one patch this is intended to make it easier for the end user! The link provided is not a general website as you seem to think.

And if your going to delete sites with multiple patches included in one page or more, then you need to delete

http://apeboys.org/ (Over 20 patches on one page) http://0daypatch.info/ (Dupe Mirrors, of ul and rapidshare) www.games32.com (Need to register to download) www.wowpatchdownload.de (Hosts 2 Patches on one page)

QOUTE: It is not a link to a specific patch page but rather a general link to the downloads page, which go to the bottom per the rules

How is http://www.rumbled.net/downloads.html a general website? I see patches, patches, and more patches! Oo and some banners! So Patches, and Banners makes it a general website? OFC not! www.rumbled.net without the downloads.html is a general site.


 * Sorry, per the page rules it's my right to police it. I will review the other sites you mentioned. -- 16:49, June 30, 2010 (UTC)

OK I respect that, I can alter my site according. Just little fraustrating that other sites are getting away with lot worse. How about a rules revision? I don't see how sites like rapidshare, easyshare and so forth with there 60sec cooldown downloading queues, then max of 1 download per an 15>60mins limit should be allowed. Isnt the patch page suppose be useful? Don't see having to use 8 sites to get your world of warcraft patched reasonable. Anyhow thanks, I'll edit my website to max the rules.
 * There's nothing in the rules that says they can't throttled their downloads. Besides, you can get around their restrictions if you know what you're doing. (Note: I'm not telling you how.) P.S.

Flash
Hello sir, wow, 48,000 edits. I had over 60,000 (top 300 editors) before I quit wikipedia. I have "only" about 13,000 edits across wikia. BTW, I had a problem navigating your page because it is 120 kb long. consider archiving :)

I saw your kind offer to help an editor here:

Forum:Is there a way to get a HTML code that makes a web game appear?

I am gathering together the elements to create a flash player map, similar but with more information that this flash map:

http://newcenstein.com/deadrisingmap.htm

It will probably be two months before I have it ready to post, but I don't want to spend all of the hundreds of hours working on it, then finding out I can't post it.

I know there are extensions on mediawiki for flash players, I had one before on my wiki. But all of them have dire warnings.

Your JavaScript idea is intriguing. If I were to build this map, which would be on one page, could you assist me in posting it?

Removal of my mirror again
Hi,

Would you please let me know why yet again my mirror has been removed from the list by yourself? I can't see anything wrong, have had no messages left on my talk page either.

The site is online and working correctly as are the downloads. (alexsmith.im is my mirror).

Thanks,

15:14, July 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Page rules require a link to the specific patch and localization in the patch tables. Links to generic patch pages go at the bottom of the page. -- 15:20, July 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * How comes this hasn't been a problem before? I've been quite a popular source for patches and had no complaints from users over the large amount of time that I've been listing the patches in the mirror in this manner. Also, wouldn't you consider it polite to inform people of this rather than just removing them without any notification? More so if the person has a track record of updating/adding to the patch listing? The amount of work that is now required for me to update this because of some "rule" that has suddenly appeared is somewhat unfair, seeing as there are other sites which often get added and break the exact same rules you are saying you are up holding.


 * Personally I don't think that having patches listed in localised pages with well defined headers regarding each version is a problem - clearly not to the people that enjoy the fast (multi gigabit patch day traffic from my site) downloads either it seems.


 * Anyway, thanks for replying, hopefully you'll share some thoughts on the above.


 * 15:26, July 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * The patch mirrors page is obviously hard to keep monitored so there has been some unavoidable lenience, rules are rules though. I'm trying to be consistent with this application however. -- 15:44, July 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * I can understand that, just some forewarning would have been nice rather than them just being removed. I can understand if it's someone abusing it but for long term site members/patch hosts it would have been nice to have a quick "this is wrong, fix it or I'll remove your mirror" first... Anyway thank you for your reply, it is appreciated. Maybe I'll get time to redo my site soon... 16:00, July 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it's hard to track who adds what to that page. -- 16:17, July 2, 2010 (UTC)

Mediawiki destination
Hello again Pcj! I'm glad to say my wiki's coming along well (love the tooltips:)), working on some skins (not bad at css now), and I have a bit of a headache from js now:) Anyway, to the point, I've got some code that I don't want jumbled up with in Mediawiki:Common.css or Mediawiki:Common.js, so I stuck the respective codes in MediaWiki:TeamBuffs.css and MediaWiki:TeamBuffs.js, though they aren't loading for my desired page. Could you possibly explain why/point me how to fix it? Kind regard, BeardedBee (talk) 20:59, July 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * First of all, you should use an array instead of separate functions, then you could reduce it so it's very small and can fit in Common.js without a lot of headache. Short of that you will need to do something like importScriptPage('MediaWiki:TeamBuffs.js', 'tlbbeu'); and similarly an @import line in the CSS. -- 21:06, July 15, 2010 (UTC)

What do you mean by an array? I'll put those codes in the Mediawiki:Common files then, thank you for your quick reply. BeardedBee (talk) 21:35, July 15, 2010 (UTC)

I put @import 'MediaWiki:TeamBuffs.css'; in the top of my Mediawiki:Common.css, though I see no changes. Do I also need to put something in MediaWiki:TeamBuffs.css? As you said about the array, I'm interested in doing what you think is best, I only stuck the code in these new pages because they only relate to one table on one page. BeardedBee (talk) 21:53, July 15, 2010 (UTC)

Another post, I apologise for the multiple consecutive posts. I think you mean an array for javascript? I'm very new to it, but I'll see what I can do soon.

I've stuck the js and css in the Common files to see if it'd work properly, and it seems it isn't. There's javascript stuck directly in the table I was seeking to configure. Have I done something wrong, or is the only way around this a template or something? BeardedBee (talk) 22:19, July 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm not seeing where this JavaScript is being called, if you could show me that it would be helpful... -- 23:39, July 15, 2010 (UTC)

Ah Sorry about that. Here: Team Buffs. Yeah there's javascript built into the table there too, in order to make multiple, specific cells become highlighted when hovered. BeardedBee (talk) 23:42, July 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * JavaScript only runs if written in certain pages, it doesn't run from content pages unless loaded from i.e. MediaWiki:Common.js. Further, if you only want a hover effect, you should use exclusively CSS. -- 23:44, July 15, 2010 (UTC)

Do you perhaps have any suggests as to how I could get the table working as desired? I tried with the pseudoclass hover but it seemed like the best I could get out of it was a highlighted row, even when I played around with divs and IDs I couldn't get the cells highlighting as I wished. Javascript was the last resort really, but the table definitely works on a normal HTML page, as uposed to a Wikia one. BeardedBee (talk) 23:50, July 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * OK, I implemented it just as it looks like you were wanting the JS to work. -- 00:05, July 16, 2010 (UTC)

That's what I had without javascript. I also just realised the table I had there was the non-js one, I've updated that. What I'd like are multiple cells to respond to 1 cell being hovered over. Save this code as a html and you'll see what I mean: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> Highlight multiple rows <style type="text/css"> .assassinhigh { color:#FFFFFF; background: url(http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100715094446/tlbbeu/images/a/ac/Assassinbg.png); }

Buffs are skills that enhance the abilities of the player they're applied to. All of the 9 Classes have buffs that can be applied, though some are able to be used on other team members, which are listed in the table below.

Some of the team buffs rely on an individual member being selected, whilst others rely on individuals being within a certain range and in the same team as the caster.

BeardedBee (talk) 00:16, July 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that's the same effect for me. Per the CSS, the only thing you're changing between the two different classes is the color. -- 00:31, July 16, 2010 (UTC)

At the moment on the table, if I were to hover over "Demon Skin" for example, only the cell it is in has its text changed, and not the text description beneath it. The reason I used the javascript was to link two cells and cause them to change. I know the script I made is probably quite botched and far from ideal, but it works, though sadly not within a Wikia content page. Is there anyway I can achieve the desired effect? BeardedBee (talk) 00:38, July 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * You could use a horiziontal line (&lt;hr&gt;) instead of a new table row to separate the buff and its description. That way the CSS would apply to everything in that one cell. -- 00:45, July 16, 2010 (UTC)

Looking to locate a moved/deleted page. Landilari Suncaller and Grimgash the Gray
Hi there,

A page of mine was just deleted/moved. I haven't posted to wowwiki in some time and i think I may have double posted and posted in the wrong location. However I can't find my page. It was listed as a SpeedyDelete. I'm just looking to begin a PC page with a couple characters. my guess is that if may wind up somewhere like the following. http://www.wowpedia.org/Server:Moon_Guard_US/Landilari_Suncaller_and_Grimgash_the_Gray. But if not, is there something you can tell me to perhaps help me avoid the same error?

Wikia Community Central
If you're replacing every new user's page with Template:NewUser anyway, why not edit MediaWiki:Welcome-user-page and be done with it?

Sidenote: I feel uncomfortable discussing Community Central issues here, where it's offtopic, the community central people won't see it, and I don't have a watchlist that I follow. However, the redirect on w:User talk:Pcj leaves me no other choice. It means I need to log in here, too; which, given the slowness I am experiencing today, is a matter of minutes! I was also suprised that your talkpage has a link to "Edit this page", although its tooltip already knows the page is protected against logged-out edits; your avatar dropdown also offers to leave a message, which wouldn't work when logged out. -- ◄mendel► 20:48, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

Why the random deletions?
Admittedly, I will probably never really use File:Barrens2.jpg and File:Ghostlands3.jpg, but why the heck would you bother deleting those two images out of all the images on my user page? And why did you re-submit the exact same jpg for File:DesolaceQuesting1.jpg??? I would appreciate it if you put some comments when you make changes. And if there is a way to undelete those images, please do. If WoWWiki needs me to clean up my old user page data, I will archive it on my personal system so that it isn't lost forever, thankyouverymuch. MaxWilder (talk) 04:05, August 25, 2010 (UTC)

You deleted Guild leveling last year, probably because it redirected incorrectly. I suggest that this article be recreated as a redirection to Guild advancement since it is already commonly used to mean this. Some examples:

 * ...No, just edit the item template where the link is generated. -- 15:11, September 14, 2010 (UTC)

It's not quite as eloquent a solution as the WoWwiki one, which grabs the info from the tooltip template on the item page. Is this very difficult to set up? BeardedBee (talk) 15:36, September 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't describe the WoWWiki solution as elegant. Simpler is better, and this way is simpler. -- 15:37, September 14, 2010 (UTC)

In the same sense that for each time I link an item, I don't want to have to put in a link to its image to make the image appear as the tooltip, I'd rather have the colour stored rather than have to define the colour each time. Is there a simple way to do that? BeardedBee (talk) 15:43, September 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * In that case you will have to do something like WoWWiki's method, but it's not simple. -- 15:45, September 14, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah which is why I came here for help really. I grabbed a bit from the css on the colours, though presume I'm missing a bit of js. Is there a way you could outline how to do it, what to copy paste etc? BeardedBee (talk) 15:53, September 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Basically you will have to include the quality from the item much as you are currently getting the image. Use a parameter to switch between getting the image and getting the quality. -- 16:00, September 14, 2010 (UTC)

I tried that here, using the colour css for quality that I copied from WoWWiki.. though I'm unsure how they're applied. Hmm.. BeardedBee (talk) 16:09, September 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * That won't work, you'll have to onlyinclude the entire tooltip and switch between parameters using something like the mode parameter on WoWWiki. -- 16:11, September 14, 2010 (UTC)

I'm afraid I'm baffled by it; I have a limited understanding of MediaWiki templates. Could you point me to where I can learn about it? BeardedBee (talk) 16:24, September 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * It's advanced stuff, pretty sure there's not a tutorial on it. But you can check out metawikipedia:Help:Template. -- 16:28, September 14, 2010 (UTC)

I'll do my best, thanks again for your time and help. BeardedBee (talk) 16:31, September 14, 2010 (UTC)

I think I'm close to something, with a lot of unnecessary code. At the moment I have an item link appearing in the way I like, though the tooltip of the image isn't appearing. Is there any chance you can have a look at the templates and stick something in? It seems like it's something which isn't too difficult for the experienced, though is quite beyond me. Template:Item Template:Tooltip test item page. Kind regards BeardedBee (talk) 18:02, September 16, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry to bother you again, but when I hover over a link it doesn't display the custom tooltip, but says "(item name) is a (quality) item" as a standard browser tooltip. I saw this problem on another wiki asking for help here. I can't find what's missing in calling the tooltip. Any chance you could help? BeardedBee (talk) 14:04, September 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sounds like the JavaScript isn't running at all. And from looking at it, you're using an old version of the tooltip JS.  It might be helpful to update to the current version at MediaWiki:Common.js. -- 00:46, September 23, 2010 (UTC)

proftip Linkage
While working on the Minor Inscription Research page I corrected the main tooltip to make it a proper Profession tooltip (it was formerly an Ability tooltip), as per the Template:Proftip page. However, I can't find any proper linking/mouseover format for that type of tooltip. The common and  link formats just generate error mouseovers.

Is there a working mouseover link format for proftip? I can't find one on any of the pages that link such recipes, like the Alchemy transmutations -- they're all just straight links. And proftip isn't even listed on the Help:Tooltips page. I'd be grateful for any direction you can give me. Joeartguy (talk) 16:46, September 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Nothing designed for proftip, though you are welcome to make one. -- 16:48, September 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * My comprehension of Javascript is primitive. I may attempt it at some time when my understanding of its interaction in the wiki is more complete. Joeartguy (talk) 21:58, September 14, 2010 (UTC)

TCG Card boilerplate
Is there one? That said, if not, what's a good starting place to learn how to make one, besides cloning an existing one? the TCG cards are woefully lacking in many sets. -=- Drazisil [t/c] 17:37, September 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * I made this as an experiment of how an ability card article would look like. It could need some work though. Feel free to change what you might think is necessary at the template. -- 18:57, September 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * That easy? I thought it required parser switches and such. Guess I'm not as recovered from the flu as I thought. Thanks. -=- [[Image:IconSmall_DrakeAzure.gif]] Drazisil [t/c] 22:33, September 21, 2010 (UTC)

Template:Text to support quality colors
I assume that would require a CSS edit, correct? I can't see where the colors are set otherwise. -=- Drazisil [t/c] 23:32, September 21, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah they're in MediaWiki:Common.css under /* Item Quality Colors */ - BeardedBee (talk) 00:33, September 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * You could just edit the template to use the CSS class already specified though... -- 00:38, September 23, 2010 (UTC)

JC Trainers in Cat
You made an edit to the Jewelcrafting page indicating that JC trainers would be added to other major capitals in Cataclysm. I haven't heard mention of this myself, and a quick search on both the NA and EU forums reveals nothing. I can't find an official source for this information - could you tell me where you found it? <span style="font-family:Garamond;font-size:16px;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none;text-transform:none;color:FF0000;background-color:000000;">Frejya 15:56, September 29, 2010 (UTC)

About the mirror patching
The Blizzard downloader wont download 3.2.0 to 3.3.0. I looked on the mirror patch page and couldnt not find 3.2.0. Should I just download the patches after that or do you know where i can find 3.2.0.

Illithenoob (talk) 21:38, October 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * I recommend this site. -- 21:41, October 6, 2010 (UTC)

thanks
Thanks for moving that character page I was trying to make. I didn't realize that when I made a link to a subpage of my user page that I should put  in the link (I thought it would be implied).

I caught on when I saw the notification about the page being moved/deleted/edited while I was working on it. ;) Sorry for the trouble! --Gilmoreja (talk) 17:13, October 9, 2010 (UTC)

Leaving the Wikia
I'll most likely follow along to wherever we set up shop next, Just y'know..keep me informed or whatever. I don't wanna be left in the dark. Aenwyrm (talk) 07:14, October 10, 2010 (UTC)

Whatever you say goes in my book. Yithnal (talk) 13:05, October 11, 2010 (UTC)

Patch Running
I did run them after installing was finished it brings up the blizzard downloader and it sits at 0% and still says tracker is not responding --Illithenoob (talk) 12:29, October 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Does it say what it is downloading? -- 12:30, October 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * on the wow launcher instead of saying the 3.2.0 now it reads v3.3.0. 10958 it downloads, then blizzed comes up it says "Downloading "./"..." 0.00 bytes of 10.9 MB --Illithenoob (talk) 12:35, October 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * So then you need to keep downloading the patches, proceeding from 3.3.0a and keep going up. -- 12:39, October 10, 2010 (UTC)

Will Wikia be vindictive?
This is my major concern - you've all but said "we're leaving", and they seem to be taking their sweet time with the data dumps you've requested. What if they don't plan on allowing them at all, but instead give the rest of us the boot? If it's true and the Wikia admins are deleting posts about the new skin causing headaches and eye issues, how far would it be for them to ban the lot of us?

Just a thought... Joshmaul (talk) 14:49, October 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Don't worry, we will be moving. -- 14:51, October 13, 2010 (UTC)

PCJ Bot and personal talk pages
PCJ seems to feel it's useful to edit cruft it left before on a personal talk page. This makes me think someone wants to communicate with me, but then it turns out to be a bot edit, and one that it is essentially content-free to a human. I'd rather bots not edit my talk page. On wikipedia there is an established protocol for requesting that this not occur. Do we have the same sort of protocol here? Does PCJ have a specific protocol that it will listen to regarding a request for no robot updates? JoshuaRodman (talk) 15:56, October 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * You shouldn't be getting notifications when bots edit your page. There is no such template on WoWWiki, but you should be exempt now from most bot edits since you cleaned off your page. -- 15:58, October 13, 2010 (UTC)

wowwiki domain name history
Could you describe the history of the wowpedia.org domain name? How did Wikia get ownership of the name itself? (Was it required in the deal, for wikia to start hosting us?) Who owned it beforehand?

Also, I've created Forum:Technical: Alternative funding for wowwiki. I'd like to know how much it will cost on a continuing basis to maintain wowwiki in some useable state; plans for maintenance of the infrastructure; plans for generating the revenue to make that work.

We really need a pledge week... --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 20:50, October 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * See Wowpedia:About. -- 20:52, October 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * ... Re the funding issue... if that discussion is ongoing but off of wowwiki proper, perhaps links to it would be helpful. Perhaps even in the forum I mentioned. :) --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 20:53, October 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * See kd3's reply at http://www.wowpedia.org/index.php?title=Forum:Should_WoWWiki_leave_Wikia%3F&curid=294121&diff=2408593&oldid=2408592 -- 20:55, October 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * ... and (about) doesn't discuss the ownership of the domain name, nor transfer thereof. It seems evident that Wikia has it now.  I guess the precise details don't matter in the grand scheme, but inquiring minds... --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 20:58, October 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * About does link to WoWWiki talk:Village pump/Archive14 and WoWWiki talk:Village pump/Archive14 for more information. I wasn't around (much) at the time, so I don't really have more information. -- 21:03, October 13, 2010 (UTC)

Hosting Idea
Hi PCJ, I've been using WoWWIKI forever now, although I just recently created an account it, and I know you guys are looking for a solution to hosting, should you leave Wikia. I was wondering if I can put another option on the table, but I'd rather explain it in private. I personally would like to help out and maybe I can. If you want to shoot me an email send it to seth [dot] orion [at] gmail [dot] com I can explain and you can decide where to go from there. Either way, I wish you guys the best! The site has been extremely beneficial to me over the years, thank you and all who have put in the time and effort!
