Disarmed_(achievement)
I see you corrected this page to what it should be. Is there a way to link the achievement with the correct popup window without having the achievement window read: Disarmed_(achievement)?

IE

Disarmed_(achievement) displays the page for the result of being physically disarmed via warriors disarm of riposte. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by.

My User:Page
Why was my main page deleted? User:Irulon_the_Immortal. Irulon the Immortal (talk) 21:15, 9 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Because you made one user account for every character you have. See User:Bigstackstwo/Irulon the Immortal. -- 21:19, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

If you can delete Irulon and Bigstaxtwo (accounts, not sub-pages), do so. If not, well, I'll just forget them somehow. 22:01, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Page deletions
Could you please delete all of the pages I created on WoWWiki, as I've moved them all onto WoWRP. Thanks. 20:33, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Sure, user page too? 20:35, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

off-handed axes
You saved me from an unnatural axe just then, killing that cat. --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 19:56, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Aye... if we were going to separate them by off-hand.. we'd have to do the same for main hand... it would just get too big/annoying to deal with. 20:02, 18 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Looks like only the gladiator weapons still have the "off-hand" tag. Thought that the vast majority of offhand weapons got turned into one-hand weapons some time back?   One other gripe: "WoW dagger items" vs "WoW uncommon staves".  Why not just "... daggers"? --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 20:32, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

thankyou Coobra
hey coobra thanks for helping me with the Gnomeregan Gnews Gnetwork things.

yet again, thanks
Thank you for cleaning up my mess with the "licensing options" as Ive just recently discovered your request to choose one, my recent additions haven't gotten them (and I dont know how to choose one, once uploaded). Ill be sure to select one in the future. TherasTaneel (talk)
 * Hmm, you've been helpful with a similar problem in the past; perhaps you can help Pontius find his pet Fiend. It seems to have run away and cant find its way back through the links. Please help it on its trail. TherasTaneel (talk)
 * I'm not sure what exactly what you're asking here... 03:50, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Heh, ok. I'm asking if you could somehow help link the right Fiend on his owners page (Pontius), and get Fiend on the Vengeance Landing linked to the darkhound too. Else it either links to http://www.wowwiki.com/Fiend or some Fiend disambiguation page. Thanks in advance. TherasTaneel (talk) 19:36, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I went to the stables and found him, his with his owner now. 19:47, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Might as well use the same section, I have a problem you might be able to help with; the new and updated pic of a Forsaken Plaguebringer shown carrying a "plague-gun" isn't used on the page the old pic is, could you help correct this? TherasTaneel (talk) 23:55, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Fixed. 00:12, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Seems Padwai, Son of Orfus' new pic isn't changing either, his father can't recognize him anymore. Thanks. TherasTaneel (talk) 02:41, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

hello
Can you please explain to me how to make a unsigned comment was added by.

Would like some advice
Hi, I'm a fairly new user of WowWiki (although frequent Wikia contributor in Sryth wiki) and I'd need some guidance. I've picked you among the knowledgeable users of this wonderful site because of the readiness and quality of your edits and comments (bear with me for a bit ;-) ). My question is: I'm aware there are such pages as Zone, Zones by level, and Places to farm, but I'd like to contribute with some well-thought grinding spots for some specific levels I've discovered lately (namely, a perfect zone for lvl 28 with only lvl 30-31 Beasts in the way from Stranglehorn Vale to Duskwood, and another great hunting spot for lvl 25-26 with lots of lvl 27-29 beasts (with a few Elementals thrown in) in the way from Ashenvale to Felwood), and I don't know where to add that info. Would it belong with a leveling guide, a zone guide? What do you think? Thank you in advance. Scarbrowtalk 15:43, 25 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your answer, but I was looking for a more direct hint. I've traversed the entire Category:Guides and the only article I can think of as appropriate is Notable Horde areas and quests, if only a little bit. Could you point me to a better place to list that? Everything around here seems very fragmented, the problem is not that I can't find pages to add content, the problem is I don't know what pages are important or central. Scarbrowtalk 03:12, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I'll looking around in a few and get back to you. I'm currently technically helping my raid out... but afk autoshot fine sometimes lol. 03:25, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Zandalar Tribe set Redirect
Why is it not appropriate to have a redirect from Tier 1.5 to here? There is a redirect from Tier 2.5 to the Brood of Nozdormu set. On the Zandalar Tribe set page, it also refers to itself as Tier 1.5. It is referred to as Tier 1.5 on other credible sources such as WoWInsider (http://www.wow.com/2008/09/03/tiers-classic-bc-and-lk/) and TKA Something, one of the top Hunter resources (http://tkasomething.com/articles/armor-sets/). Even Vice President of Game Design, Rob Pardo, referred to the set as Tier 1.5 in the June 2007 issue of Games for Windows:

“We’re so bad about getting geeky with terms like ‘tier 6, tier 1.5.’ That’s what we call it around here, and it suddenly ends up on websites.”

Bor's Fury
Couple of things: 1) wouldn't Bor's Fury more appropriately be marked ?  2) Should a "Category:Hrothgar's Landing image requests" be created? And when will a "Category:Hrothgar's Landing" be appropriate? I would be happy to make them, but the subtleties of "how to handle PTR content" evade me. --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 21:05, 26 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes (fixed), Yes, and right now is fine. Categories need not have the PTR stub as all the articles in it will. 23:22, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

yes that image is mine Coobra
yes that image is mine and thanks for the tip on the NPC box.


 * sorry about that coobra didn't understand, sorry about the image thing -

 (playable)
Since we split all playable race articles from the main race articles to split Lore and Game mechanics, the Infobox used for all  (playable) don't fit much a basic game description.

I've ended up creating this new template Infobox Playable. It resumes the main points of the playable race in-game (name, race crest, faction, its classes (wow), its two languages, starting zone, racial capital, racial leader, racial mount).

All races are listed here: User:A'noob/Draft.

The goal is to have something completelty (or mostly) splited from Lore.

If you can think of anything else let me know, and tell me if you think I can set it on the playable race articles.

21:12, 30 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Ack! "Split" is both the present and past tense of the verb.  *cringe*  "Separate/separated" is a good synonym. --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 23:16, 1 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Sorry, I'm writting quite good english, but sometimes I just can't hold the french in me!
 * 23:19, 1 July 2009 (UTC)


 * LOL... I had a coworker who was French, went to see the Steve Martin remake of the Pink Panther with him. Was a hoot!  He actually did have problems with words like "Hamburger".  "Browser" too.  More amusing, we had a "Brother" printer. --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 17:07, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Appropriate colouring
Hi, I didn't transfere the previous cords into the line about Initiate Amakkar because he wanders. And yes :) the colouring of that fel elf thingie does hurt my eyes, feel free to choose some more appropriate. TherasTaneel (talk) 12:07, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Greetings, I guess... Err, I have a question!
Hi there!

I would love to delete a picture I uploaded to wowwiki some time ago, but I just can't find the "Delete The Picture You No Longer Use" option :P Could you help me out by telling me where to go and what to do to make that good-for-nothing pile of kilobytes disappear?

(You left a message on my page about not uploading double pictures for my little fanfic, and thereby not encumbering the site, so I thought I'll just ask you about this problem I have)

Yours sincerely, BEFEJEZTED


 * I have a similar problem with File:Evonice Sootsmoker.png TherasTaneel (talk) 21:15, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Talk page vs forums
Could you please explain it to me so even I understand it, so...simple terms. When does something go on forums, and when is it allowed on the talk pages? TherasTaneel (talk) 19:59, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Forums are something that would affect more than one article. Whereas talk pages should be used for that particular article. So if you have a comment/question about one npc/mob, it should go onto their talk page. Was that a confusing explanation, or wast that clear enough? It sounds clear in my head... but sometimes what I'm thinking doesn't type out well =( 20:04, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Quite clear, thanks.TherasTaneel (talk) 20:10, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Template talk
Okay so, uhh...What I did is I found a better image for the anti-undead template and resized it to a 400x400 so the template won't go overboard and mess up alignments on people's pages. Is this better suited? User AntiUndeadPlus DacianWarlord (talk) 03:02, 4 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, it will do. 03:51, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Noggenfogger Effect
It's from one of those cards,...didn't know how to add it, sorry. TherasTaneel (talk) 16:46, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for responding quickly. It's TCG. 16:49, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
 * No problem, and thanks. TherasTaneel (talk) 16:51, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
 * By the way, erm...I've seen you've changed some ogre caster, to have the race ogre magi and giving it an ogre magi category, are all two-headed ogres that? e.g. the ones in Mirage Raceway. TherasTaneel (talk) 16:54, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, those with 2 heads are usually ogre mages, and you can mark them as such if you like. 19:01, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Tier 9
Hey Coobra,

I have added the Tier 9 stats for Alliance Warrior Tank and DPS Triumph. WoW.com (the fansite), has the tier sets for all alliance triumphs. I would do all of them but I aint sure if i can do them all :P lol But was wondering if you wanted to get others to do them. http://www.wow.com/gallery/tier-9-collected-sets/ Thats the links. I'll try and do some, but see what you could do aswell. Thanks :) Kranitoko (talk) 17:33, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Mount Icons
Why have you removed my mount icons ? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by.
 * I said why, look at the history of the page, but I'll say it again here. The icons are getting out of hand and a line has to be draw somewhere, that somewhere is what you just did... different icons for color variations of a creature, bears and the blue dragonhawk. These icons are supposed to just represent what they are, not get completely specific to everything they are. 16:27, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Troll Forest and Ice (Male versions)
So, I have understand for the mount icons but I had this only for occupy. I'm bored. So I have just work on Forest troll male and Ice troll male icon with the new model of this troll. So I hope you like this.

(and sorry for my english, I'm a french guy) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by.


 * You should create another one, ice troll in dun morogh still have a classic blue-skin troll.
 * Rhapsodia (talk) 21:00, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Edit: Splited the icons (nice ones by the way) "ForestTrollAmani" and "IceTrollNorth".
 * Edit 2: All ice trolls have the amani-blue skin since 3.2, reverting that part.

This and that
Which is best:

 

or

 

I guess the first is "cleaner code" but/so........what? :) TherasTaneel (talk) 23:13, 4 July 2009 (UTC)


 * If you find it easier to do the first option, go ahead. The intent of the second was so user's linked their website, they could not say "they didn't know". I myself think its only needed on boss, faction, and other high volume pages. 23:21, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Sorry for the necessary "Sweep sweep sweep" I hope I'll learn eventually what goes where.

Hmm, I've seen some mentioning "mentor" somewhere, is that something I could benefit from?...and well, what is it to be exact? TherasTaneel (talk) 04:19, 5 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Don't mind the sweep sweep sweep... I prefer that over saying "cleanup" in the edit summary box. You don't want a mentor... its not a good thing. But you're always welcome to ask me, the other admins, or other helpful users questions. 04:24, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Are there any way to make  

use  

but while using the same simple form of code? TherasTaneel (talk) 15:50, 5 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Nope. For that image you have to manually type out the whole thing. 19:36, 5 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Hmm, petty... TherasTaneel (talk) 22:37, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Should the Power crystals be moved to Power Crystals? Thanks for the cleanup by the way, fantastic. TherasTaneel (talk) 23:14, 5 July 2009 (UTC)


 * It's good where it is. 00:25, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
 * You think it'll last?TherasTaneel (talk) 18:56, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Other people might change it every once in a while, but yes, I don't see it being deleted. 20:06, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

By the way; some npc articles have a   what does it do? TherasTaneel (talk) 18:56, 6 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Thats for the categories they're placed in, normally they would be sorted out by how the page is named, but with the Defaultsort option that allows us to sort them however we like. And in most cases for specifically named NPCs/Mobs, we like to go last name first name. 20:05, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
 * So it's a thing to be added in every "specifically named NPCs/Mobs"?TherasTaneel (talk) 20:09, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Really depends on their name. If its:
 * Mo'arga the Witch Doctor → Not needed
 * Witch Doctor Mo'arga → Then you would want to default sort it to Mo'arga
 * Now if they have a title, first, and last name:
 * Captain Hugo Gertaza → Then you would want to default sort it to Gertaza, Hugo 20:15, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Allrighty TherasTaneel (talk) 20:22, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Not that I care much for token titles, but when does one join the 1000club? :) TherasTaneel (talk) 00:13, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

How does one get these books (mentioned on the Everlook talk page)? Blizzard webshop, local bookstore? TherasTaneel (talk) 01:21, 8 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Warcraft RPG, most are no longer made, though you can buy a digital copy, but if you want a physical copy, you can try ebay or amazon. 02:04, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

This and that (2)
Could you part Jungle Stalker in two? thanks. TherasTaneel (talk) 18:14, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
 * The reason why I removed the split suggestions on the Pterrordax is that it's already done. TherasTaneel (talk) 18:54, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Could you move Stegodon (Un'Goro mob) to Stegodon (mob) aswell? thanks TherasTaneel (talk) 19:05, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
 * You know, you're allowed to move things as well, its not an admin only option. 19:10, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
 * How does one do that, I can only redirect things. TherasTaneel (talk) 19:13, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Is there no at the top of the window for you? Should be next to .  19:21, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I'll be back in a few hours, let me know if you don't see it. 19:23, 11 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Oh, I've seen it, but I hesitate pressing anything I don't know what does. So,...deletion of old pages is up to an admin right? TherasTaneel (talk) 19:35, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Aye. 21:54, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

When you get the time, could you delete the Talk:Talrendis Point, it seems empty, thanks. TherasTaneel (talk) 22:15, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

I still see Apothecary Dithers like this. TherasTaneel (talk) 00:04, 19 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Try refreshing your cache, guess I just fixed it. And its working fine for me. 00:07, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
 * cache refreshed, still nothing, I'll try another time, perhaps it's something temporary TherasTaneel (talk) 00:10, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

By the way, are there any way to add category while uploading instead of afterwards? TherasTaneel (talk) 00:16, 19 July 2009 (UTC)


 * The large summary box. 00:17, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, thought that was for comments to the picture, righty, thanks...again :) TherasTaneel (talk) 00:19, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

Are there any way to rename pictures? I guess its something an admin does? "Murg "Oldie"Muckjaw.jpg" into "Murg "Oldie" Muckjaw.jpg" e.g. TherasTaneel (talk) 23:31, 20 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Currently normal users can not move (or rename) images. However, you can use move for that purpose. 01:26, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Instead of mob or npc stubs, would an miscellaneous stub request editors to add more info? ...or...perhaps it's not a request to be made at all? I'm not sure what to to if an article needs to be more specific or lacks info. TherasTaneel (talk) 00:42, 22 July 2009 (UTC)


 * The mob/npc stubs are requests to add more info... as is the misc one, except the misc one is used for articles the other stubs don't cater to. See WP:STUB for more info. 01:00, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

When one uploads a new version of a already existing image and choose a licensing, it wont appear on the newly updated image. Are there any way to correct this? TherasTaneel (talk) 23:43, 23 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Nope only works on the initial upload. Oh, and I know you were just trying to clean up old questions, but please don't. I like to keep everything that appears on my talk page. 01:18, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
 * But dont we have any here that could fix it so it worked? TherasTaneel (talk) 01:28, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

As you might have noticed I've began licensing image, but...which licens is to be given to old manual images and warcraft III ones,   and   perhaps? TherasTaneel (talk) 21:52, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
 * File:BClogo.png have been locked to prevent vandalism, hence unable to choose license. TherasTaneel (talk) 23:27, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

Eralan shows some strange "|[{Template:Arg]]]" after some of her poisons, know how to get rid of that? TherasTaneel (talk) 22:32, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

I actually was doing that on purpose, but if I already fixed the old links, I guess the redirect can be broken and that's fine. So, point taken. 3:38 PM, 11 Jul 2009 (EDT)

 * ^ one more. 6:19 PM, 11 Jul 2009 (EDT)
 * Agreed. I would not support this for mob spells. This would just be extended to class abilities and talents. Not item procs/spells either. 6:26 PM, 11 Jul 2009 (EDT)

Check image links before you delete or overwrite them in future please.

Instance
Defias Pirate is in the instance isn't it? Is the instance link only for mini-bosses and bosses? Rolandius ( talk  -  contr ) 03:58, 23 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Since the instance parameter contains boss links as a quick navigational template, it should be only used for boss articles. It was originally separate thus having 2 big infoboxes on the right side of the screen. 04:02, 23 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Oh I see. It was red so I thought I would fix it, but it should not be there at all like you said. Rolandius [[Image:Paladin.gif|25px]] ( talk -  contr ) 04:06, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Argus Speculation
It was not a personal article. It was following the standards of Draenei speculation and pandaren speculation. I believe it should be returned. Mathwhiz90601 (talk) 22:51, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * One, I didn't move the page, I simply stated why it got moved. Two, you linked me dead pages... so to tell me you followed the standards of them doesn't say much, when they don't even exist to follow. However it is a personal page since its personal speculation. 00:51, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry, didn't check the links. I meant Draenei Rumor and Pandaren ideas. [[Image:IconSmall Draenei Male.gif]]  22:51, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Saberkittie and the Schools of magic
(sounds like a movie title!) I wasn't sure about those additions, but it wasn't blatant vandalism, so I just /patrol'd them. If the images didn't have the UI, and perhaps had a touch better directorial sense, I'd say "sure". --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 21:12, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
 * In some of them he replaced the image of the book with his location image. We also already have location shots (cleaner too) on The Schools of Arcane Magic. Perhaps those images can also be placed on the individual book articles, but I know it wasn't blatant vandalism, otherwise I would have put a block on him. 21:18, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Dar'Khan
Heh, I always had trouble with him, even in a group. Skulkerart (talk) 14:25, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Space Marine
Could you move Space Marine to Marine? That seems to be the name given in the editor. Rolandius ( talk  -  contr ) 02:22, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

travel forms?
Do we really have enough 'travel forms' to justify a category? --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 23:32, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, to qualify a category at least 3 articles are needed. There's 4 =) 01:21, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

I put a quote from you on my page if that is okay. Rolandius ( talk  -  contr ) 03:32, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Prismatic Gems and JC Gems in 3.2.
Hey, wondering what would be the best thing to do for the prismatic category for jewelcrafting. Since all the JC only (Dragon's Eye) gems are changed to match their color in 3.2 (and only the 3 Tear gems will be left), shall they be sorted into each tab in the Northrend gems by color, or would creating a new page and board for the Dragon's Eye gems be better? Cityhunter0505 - Etsuko (talk) 16:50, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
 * There's currently discussions taking place about the whole redesigning the categories for jewelcrafting at Forum:Gem type categories, I'd suggest asking there. 20:04, 30 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I agree that Cityhunter should visit the gem category discussion. Howbizr would be a good person to talk to as well, on gem category tables.  I don't know that the categories he is talking about are wiki categories, but clearly s/he's interested in the subject. --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 20:23, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok, reading it now, it seems a bit confusing as I'm still new with all the Wowwiki stuff. <_< Seems interesting though, and I'll try and send her a message as well. Cityhunter0505 - Etsuko (talk) 20:42, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I'll have to think about that one. In general I hate a lot of the JC pages. I tried spending time on them, and got too frustrated so I gave up. 5:44 PM, 30 Jul 2009 (EDT)
 * ... and then I came along and riled ya up! :) --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 00:16, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Aye. 00:53, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Vote
BTW, are you interested in voting on either of these issues? It seemed like maybe you were. 5:42 PM, 30 Jul 2009 (EDT)
 * 1) Change categories with "World of Warcraft" to "WoW"? Vote here.
 * 2) Avoid repeating prefixes on sub-categories? Vote here.

Archives ignored?
Hi Coobra, do you mean that I shouldn't trust too much on the archives as they are ignored, or that the talk pages are the ones ignored, or both things?

Note: I'm asking you on your talk page because I think I've caused too much trouble at the forum and don't want to go on another arbitrary break discussion. Benitoperezgaldos (talk) 03:23, 31 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I am not Coobra, but I think he meant that the talk pages of archives are ignored because they are old. Rolandius [[Image:Paladin.gif|25px]] ( talk -  contr ) 03:30, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Aye. 03:55, 31 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Ok, thanks for the answer Rolandius, I won't comment in the archive talk pages anymore ;) Benitoperezgaldos (talk) 17:26, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Brings up a good question: Are the archived pages marked as "don't comment here"? I don't think that the "new forum talk pages" can every quite get archived, unless we create a prefix for 'em... --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 23:36, 31 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Archive has a comment like that.-- 00:16, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Any opinions?

Image uploads
I do not know how to crop the images into the 64x64 format. I just know how to get the images from wowhead and convert them over to the PNG format and then upload them into Wowpedia just to have a image. If I have to upload anymore should I just put the Cleanup template and the category, just to get a image on the site, and not show a red image link on the item? -- 22:05, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

About Slap in the Face
Why was it deleted? I have seen a GM perform this on someone in game and while reviewing the WP:DNP, did not see how it violated it. I have even a screenshot of the ability posted via chat. Can you please explain to me why it was deleted? Bloodguzzler (talk) 04:20, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Seem to have some problems
I seem to have some problems getting some of the "badges" for my user page. I thought I had put in the name for the areas I cleare, in game, but the badge things are not showing up or don't have one for them.

Am I doing something wrong?

Bronze Bar Icon
While I was fixing the pages, I noticed the Bronze Bar icon isn't working on the site.

WoWHead states it is INV_Ingot_Bronze, just doesn't seem to show.

Usage of Azeroth

Timear Foresees
I'm just looking for some clarification as to why the page was deleted. Are you implying that there needs to be a disambiguation page? The criteria of the achievement (that does, in fact, exist) seems to accomplish this, but that may be a wiki gray area that I'd love for you to elaborate on.--Adorol (talk) 21:39, 10 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Fixed, or recreated. I am assuming that either the deletion was in error, or that the page had no contents beyond the stub template.  (Re)created the page with full achievementbox template and as much stub content as most other dungeon achievements. --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 22:32, 10 August 2009 (UTC)


 * WP:STUB, I deleted it cause thats all it had on the page .  23:24, 10 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Ahh that makes sense. It's been a while since I've edited and I used to start pages with stubs like that without protest. I'll refrain from doing that from now on then. --Adorol (talk) 23:45, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Neck and Neck
I take it that the Neck Items category is being split by rarity? A project in the works? --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 22:03, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

New Mount pages
I love the way you are doing the new mount pages using the tags. The bigger pictures and the write up you put on the pages make them look much more professional than just using the standard disambig or item on pages. Keep up the great work. -- 01:42, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Adam Eternum MIA?
I was wondering if Adam Eternum and his counterpart Keldor should be listed as still being in Shatt still? I went to Shatt today and it seems that they missing. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by.

Da Bears
If the Bear mounts count as bears, the Frostsabre mounts count as frostsabers, et al. That's a big line to cross... --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 22:48, 14 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm putting all cat-like mounts under saber, even the tiger. Just makes it easier. 22:57, 14 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I'll second grouping cat mounts together, regardless of name (sabre, tiger, etc). 12:10 AM, 15 Aug 2009 (EDT)


 * I agree, a cat is a cat no matter how big or small it or its teeth are. -- 04:58, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Dragonflights vs Colors
I added Category:Blue drakes to the Reins of the Azure Netherwing Drake because I seen you added it to another drake page that was blue - but I noticed we also have Category:Blue Dragonflight - aren't Blue drakes apart of the Blue Dragonflight? Same with Category:Black drakes and Category:Black Dragonflight.

Other than noticing that - Great work man! Great work! Enjoy your rest you desever it. -- 04:58, 15 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Aye, blue drakes is a subcat of Drakes and Blue Dragonflight, so only drakes belonging to the blue flight should go into it. Same with the black drakes and nether drakes, I would have done the same for the bronze, red, etc, but they currently don't have categories that merge the two for them yet... that can be a new project for later, which would include doing whelps, dragonspawn, dragons, etc. 21:04, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

UP trash mobs
What on earth gave you the right to delete all those images? What do you think you're doing, without even asking anybody if they agree on that? -- 14:51, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
 * And when/where did you ask it was even ok to put all that useless stuff there. 22:33, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
 * In what way is it useless? It's for illustrational purposes, moron. -- 22:56, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
 * And you're trying to be an admin? You have a serious attitude problem. 23:01, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
 * And you're abusing your rights as an admin, that's even worse. -- 08:15, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
 * What were you planning to use them for, Shandris? I assume they were deleted because of WP:IMG - model viewer images are generally not allowed. 6:08 AM, 17 Aug 2009 (EDT)
 * If by abusing my power you mean cleaning up the mess you left behind, yes I suppose I did. Howbizr, It was a big box containing what the mobs looked like (through use of the model viewer). It did not look like he was planning to do it to the other articles, so I cleaned it up to match the other articles. 19:01, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Using Template Tooltip to categorize

 * Moved to Template_talk:Tooltip 11:44 PM, 16 Aug 2009 (EDT)

Hello, and guidance
Hi there! I'm new to WoWWiki and I just wanted to get your opinion on something.

On the Engineering recipes page, I noticed that under Grandmaster patterns, the links to Hand-mounted Pyro Rocket and Hyperspeed Accelerators were breaking the table; something about a template loop. I assume this is because the pages they link to are item-enhancements, not items, so the item template doesn't work. I replaced them with the loot template, which seems to work for the moment; is there a better example I could use that would allow an icon in the text bar, as well as presenting them in the same way as other items in the table? --Santrilla (talk) 21:10, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * The item tooltips themselves were the ones needs fixing, not the page they were linked on. It's fixed now. 21:18, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Aha! I see what you did there. I'll bear that in mind next time. Thanks for your time! --Santrilla (talk) 19:52, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

"Mounts" vs "Mount items"
THANK YOU. The "mount items" category was the most annoying part of the category overhaul a couple years ago. I didn't see much fanfare about this but I'm very glad of this change and that you were able to do it comprehensively and quickly. -- Harveydrone 17:01, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Warcraft III icons licence
Hi Coobra. What licence should I use for the images of the WC3 icons found in WC3 Icons/Icon List? Benitoperezgaldos (talk) 22:53, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * No license, just delete the category requested template, and toss them into Category:Warcraft III Icons... I keep forgetting to go back to doing that... I lose interest 30 icons into it every time I try. The help is appreciated. 23:04, 20 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Ok, I'll try to help. Another question should I add other categories (i.e. the race category) or should I just put that one? Benitoperezgaldos (talk) 02:11, 21 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I'd say just the icon category, but then I'm biased against having any images in the race categories. 02:17, 21 August 2009 (UTC)


 * What I mean is for example putting [[File:BTNDarkTrollShadowPriest.png]] in the dark trolls category, [[File:BTNGnollArcher.png]] in the gnolls category and the like. Because I've been adding images to those categories but now I'm doubting. Benitoperezgaldos (talk) 04:45, 21 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Oh I know what you meant, but like I said I don't like images getting put into the creature categories. But yea, Icons shouldn't get put into those categories or the alike. 05:26, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

User Xylanlol
You might want to check out Special:Contributions/Xylanlol - I think they are vandalizing - I reverted the changes to Great Sundering. But with you being higher in rank you have the rollback option to undo multi-edits done in a row by the same user. -- 02:52, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for your help with the links, and, well this is what came out ! ^^ By the way, when viewing your site, in firefox, the top bar where it usualy says "See any bad ads" bla bla, just under 'Watch', your user page is cooked, or broken.

cataclysm
what do u think about goblin and worgen being available in the new expansion cataclysm? from Grumbletroll
 * Well, I'm glad both were added... a little disappointed alliance get something I've wanted for a long time... and horde just get a goblin... just hope the next time they add new races (which would be long time from now) horde get the cool race and alliance get a so-so one. 05:05, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

Jade (NPC)
It was you who taught me not to make a redirection without fixing the links afterwards, but it seem you forgot yourself. I fixed those I could do, but if you have a look at the links left, it's not clear why its still linked as "Jade (NPC)" doesn't exist on their pages. At least not to me. TherasTaneel (talk) 23:19, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
 * When I said fixing redirect I meant double redirects. I do get lazy myself and don't always fix every page to the new page. But redirects should never get marked for deletion, if they are currently still redirecting. 23:22, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
 * erm, not understod; "But redirects should never get marked for deletion, if they are currently still redirecting." Won't redirections stop redirecting the moment no articles link to them, as a redirection then no longer would be needed? (not it doing it automatically, but then necessity for a redirection) TherasTaneel (talk) 23:31, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, when no article is using the redirect it can be marked for deletion if needed, but if say 10 articles have [Gnoll (NPC)] which redirects to [Gnoll (mob)], [Gnoll (NPC)] should not be marked for deletion. 23:34, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Unless [Gnoll (NPC)] is changed into [Gnoll (mob)] in all 10 articles, right? Because if it is changed I do not see any reason to keep the redirection, else than perhaps people's spelling it wrong making it easier to find with e.g. different capitalization, which might be some of the reason why Silithid egg layer stays since nothing links to it? TherasTaneel (talk) 23:42, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Even though nothing may link to certain redirects, its sometimes good to have them anyway. This is also a good way to prevent duplicate articles. But correct some redirects aren't needed like [Gnoll (NPC)], but only once nothing links there. 23:50, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Oki, thanks for elaborating. TherasTaneel (talk) 23:55, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

Magelo
Hehe, I just realized in your vote, comment section, you mentioned you never heard of Magelo, I do not know why but I find that amuzing. Anyhow, per it's History page it was created 23:25, June 14, 2008 by Bomyne. Just a little history on it, still find it amusing though. -- 23:44, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Heh... well, you may learn I don't always read articles I edit. LOL, that is amusing... but its true I've had of many database sites, but Magelo never entered my mind. 23:50, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
