Mob articles/PreloadBT
Is there a use for this page? Help:Mob articles/PreloadBT It looked like it was created in error, but I wanted to make sure before I marked it for deletion. -- 19:22, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Actually it looks like you created that and Help:NPC articles/PreloadBT when populating the zone categories? In that case my question is whether or not you are done with them as they are showing up in Category:Borean Tundra mobs and NPCs. Seems like it was a smart way to populate the categories very quickly. =) -- 19:37, 6 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Yah, it was what I used on my private testwiki to quickly create pages. Must've missed that one in the mass-import the day the NDA got lifted. I sd'd it since it didn't need to exist anyway. Thanks for finding it! -- k _d3 21:00, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Macro API
I've seen you around the UI forums so I figured you'd be a good admin to help with this issue. I wanted to expand the documentation of the Holy Writ to include Macro commands, since they are becoming more integral in UI development, and there's just really no clearly defined, well-written documentation on it. I created the section Macro API to help with this, and it follows the same page layout as the API pages, but it seems no one is monitoring the Interface Customization portal's discussion page. I would like to request it be added there. Thanks for looking into this. --DrDoom (talk) 15:03, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Feel free. Good work with the macro command pages, by the way. Those needed to be added a long time ago. >.> -- k _d3 19:55, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

Zone NPCs pages
Heya, with intentions of adding to the WOTLK zone npcs pages, I was thinking to put them in the format of other zones on the wiki, such as Grizzly Hills NPCs. However, I see that you have already done much work on these pages and they are organized by location rather than by function, which also has its merits. What do you think, should I just leave it, change to the other format, or maybe have both? The pages in question are Dragonblight NPCs, Howling Fjord NPCs, Borean Tundra NPCs and Storm Peaks NPCs. -- 07:30, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Those pages (at least HF+BT+DB) were originally on my testwiki back in alpha just so I had a quick-reference of all the NPCs in an subzone to make sure I had screencaps for them. ...not that I had screencaps for all of them... Feel free to refactor those articles so they're keeping with the style of the rest of the wiki.
 * Though, to be honest, I'd be most happy if some location-based info was on the majority of the pages, not just my subset. It does provide more logical breaks in the massive list of NPCs (like, say Shadowmoon Valley NPCs). But feel free either way. I'm kinda taking a wikibreak right now to get caught up with work, so it's not a big deal at present. -- k _d3 19:33, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok, I will change it to the other style for now and then maybe think about a way to incorporate locations into it afterwards. To avoid having to repeat the same locations across npc types, it's possible a sortable table might be best in the style of Teldrassil quests, but that will be quite an undertaking to perform on all those pages. Anyways thanks for coming back to me on this one, and good luck with your workload :) -- 06:44, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Template
Unlike many of the Naxx bosses, who's dedicated article lists a strategy, the article Malygos does not. Instead its relegated to Malygos (tactics) which is linked at the top. However, if you go to Eye of Eternity, Malygos appears many times on the page: once in the body and 2 times in templates. Each one of those Malygos links go somewhere different. I'm trying to make it less confusing. Im using the Naxx boss articles as my comparison (the ones which readers are likely to have read before and become accustom to) which don't have the separation of tactics articles and lore articles all titled the same thing. And while this may be 'the way things are done' doesn't mean improvements are reverted on site or open to discussion. Mkdw talk 08:51, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
 * We only really separate the lore from tactics on bosses that actually have lore. Not bosses that were created just in time for Naxx to get patched in. That's why only a few (three!) of the Naxx bosses have separate tactics pages.
 * If the EoE article is pointing to Malygos instead of Malygos (tactics), fix that article instead. -- k _d3 22:24, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Elink Ids on World Events achievements/Argent Tournament
In the process of coppy/ paste ing the repeated information ( other than Faction / race ) I think i put all the correct Elinks-achievement on all the achievements I did with the exception of the Last few horde ones (I think I did them ) but I might have forgotten to correct them to their propper id - if you get a chance  and can verify them -- let me know - if I do not hear from you when I get home from work - I will check / correct them  then  -- thanks - ( Morph  | Contribs | Talk ) 02:06, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Achievement Tool tip size
I was adding the Parameter |width=50em  because they  did not have one before -- and were too big (22 in monitor 1680 x 1050) ( |width=50em was Making them smaller on my screen )  |width=38em was too small (everthing was wraping inside of the tooltip) -- ( Morph  | Contribs | Talk ) 00:48, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

 * I have removed all the settings |width=50 from the Achievement Tool-Tips that I remember putting it on ( mainly was the Argent Tournament ones - I may have missed some elswhere - if you see it remove it - IE8 shows them correctly now -- 22:38, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

The Ring of JudgEment
The Ring of Judgement was moved by a well meaning but misguided editor to The Ring of Judgement. As of 11/28/2008 (my screenshot date), this quest title was misspelled "Judgement".

Hiding Transclude from Ajax - will finish in the morning
Today I added the template Transclude to all the Achievement sub pages that are accessed thru the ajaxsub template - But I noticed that the Tranclude tag was showing up on the pages when viewed thru Ajax and also noticed that some of the pages had the bc-section and wotlk-section tag when I was editing them but that tag did not show up on thte ajax  view - so after a closer look I see  that they hid the sections from ajax with   tags -- so I will add those tags to the other Transcuded sub pages tomorrow that I did not do today ( I did all the sub-ages of Dungeons & Raids achievements ) -- ( Morph  | Contribs | Talk ) 07:26, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

While I agree that we should merge more user templates into User title, User Jenkins was much nicer than the stub I created in User title. Can you undo the delete?

World Events achievements (Darkmoon Faire)
Blizzard created this category when they created the World Events achievements (Argent Tournament) achievements on the PTR server but they never filled it in - I have used up my character transfers when we were working on The Argent Tournament questline and making those changes and my character became one of the character that got left in limbo ( not able to become a champion of more than 2 factions ) so I removed the Test server patch from my computer - before the last 2 new builds were released -- at last look they still had this category in the achievements section with nothing in it -- but I cant check to see if they have now removed it or not from the game - so do we leave it  as a category with no achievements associated with it? or do we just remove it? - What do we do if they release 3.1 with it in game with no achievements? -- (M o r p h | C  | T )  04:06, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
 * For the time being, I'm just going to leave it like that. I logged on the PTR and checked when I saw you moved the section earlier today. It still exists.
 * If it doesn't exist on live we'll pull it, but for the time being how we have it now works for me. -- k_d3 04:10, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Gold rewards
Saw a comment from you to someone else... I've been putting down, in "(or at 80)" just the total amount seen at 80, without doing triage of "this amount from the quest, that from the 'you are level capped'". Is that a problem? --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 22:31, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Meh, not really. Just a reminder to me that we really need to come up with a solution so we won't have to deal with this. -- k_d3 22:35, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

But speaking of gold rewards, I'm really not a fan of using item to display gold rewards along with item rewards, as was done here. My initial assumption is that the item "has a value of" (in this case) 5g 80s. More, the size used by the itembox template implies that it's an actual item, as opposed to a currency. One more Itembox winge before I let ya be: I've been pulling the "You will receive: " text out of the itembox, because having that bolded irritates the ... spit out of me. Perfectly readable in normal size/font, when placed directly before the itembox. --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 22:13, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Item info macro.
Hello,

I'm having some troubles using your macro to get items informations from this macro:

http://www.wowwiki.com/User:Kaydeethree/Macros#Item_info

I've used the other macros from your pages without issue, and all of them worked fine, except this one. Do you have to have the item in your inventory? I've tried mousing over the item on the vendor page and entering the macro, but nothing. I just cannot get it to work, and not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks. -Cityhunter0505

Query
I was wondering if Category:Trial of the Grand Crusader mobs could be a subcategory of Category:Trial of the Crusader mobs. That way you don't have to put both categories in a character's article. Or are they too distinct from each other? Rolandius ( talk  -  contr ) 04:32, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I am tempted to do away with the category (and article... and template...) altogether. As far as I know there's no difference between normal and heroic mode as far as mobs are concerned. Tactics/HP etc. are going to be different, of course, but that can be handled on the boss articles themselves, like they are for any other normal/heroic-mode boss. -- k_d3 04:41, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh okay. I was just thinking that if all the bosses in the "Trial of the Grand Crusader" were also in the "Trial of the Crusade" then one could be a subcategory of the other. If some bosses are only found in one of the Trials then my idea would not work. Well, I will let you get back to work. :) Rolandius Paladin.gif ( talk -  contr ) 04:51, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Alchemy Transmutes.
Hello, I am trying to update most of the JC info for 3.2, and was working on the new gems, and the way to get them, when I realized there was no Transmute page. So I'm trying to create some of the pages for the new gems' transmutation, but am having some issues editing them, such as adding a cooldown in the tooltip, etc.

Here's what I got so far: http://www.wowwiki.com/Transmute:_King%27s_Amber

Let me know if you'd rather just put the transmutation details on the King's Amber page: http://www.wowwiki.com/King%27s_Amber

By Fire Be Purged
The reason for my moving the torch is specific: The torch is NOT an objective of the quest. Verified by my own screenshot. It is not appropriate to have the torch in the objective section. Thottbot posts it in the description section, and that seemed good enough for me. As your edit was specifically to move it, I'd prefer not simply undoing your edit myself. --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 18:19, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Another quest comment... I'm astonished that Battle Before The Citadel didn't fall to the "we must have separate pages if the quest is at all different" crowd. Glad to see it, but disturbed that other quests I tried such things on did not fare so well. Is the "single questbox/neutral, paragraphed quest text" format acceptable generally, then? Should we consider combining other quests which are "nigh-indistinguishable"? Or should I sit on my hands and not draw attention to it? --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 19:56, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

User:Igorkasparov
This user has vandalised several pages and uploaded a few picture (used in some of his vandalism) - you can see here Special:Contributions/Igorkasparov. -- 07:27, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Summary
The items that we could probably use feed back on are
 * 1) Should we carry the "World of Warcraft" pre-fix at all? only the root level?
 * 2) Should we carry the "items" post-fix at all? only the root level?
 * 3) Do you like the term "socketable"/"else" or "cut"/"uncut" (or have any better organization ideas)? In particular, some examples of items that don't fit the mold include Purified Jaggal Pearl (came from a pearl), Tigerseye (can never be a cut gem), Prismatic Sphere (not made by a JC), and Icy Prism (transmute container item thingy). 6:43 PM, 28 Jul 2009 (EDT)
 * My thoughts are: only at root level; only at root level; cut/uncut for the majority of the cases. More thoughts on the forum page in a sec. -- k_d3 00:41, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Tier 9
Did they change the icons and stats of the tier 9 sets? I went thru and copied the alliance mage set over to the horde and changed their names from Khadgar's to Sunstrider's before I realized that the icons where wrong on the Gauntlets, then I looked a little further and noticed the stats did not match (with what is on wowhead - some stats did but some did not. I think I fixed all the icons on the Khadgar's conquer's sets (might be wrong) but now need to go over the stats and fix them on  as well and fix the icons on the horde sets. --  06:22, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

I think they changed the names of the sets (not the individual pieces) as well:
 * Conqueror's Khadgar's Regalia is the item level 232 Tier 9 Raid Set for Mages.
 * Triumphant Khadgar's Regalia is the item level 245 set.
 * Totally Triumphant Khadgar's Regalia is the item level 258 (Heroic) set.

this information is from Wowhead: Khadgar's#item-sets, as I do not have the PTR downloaded on my computer to verify the names, so I am asking for verification on this one. -- 17:30, 3 August 2009 (UTC)


 * The icons/stats were placeholder when the PTR was first implemented. That's why I didn't do much in the way of page creation (outside of the non-stat-including disambig pages). Now that 3.2's soon I'm planning on doing a revamp.
 * As soon as I can log in to the PTR, (yay login server busy!) I plan on checking the names. -- k_d3 17:58, 3 August 2009 (UTC)


 * So should I stop adding the Horde pieces in - until you revamp the main pages (especialy if the names did change)? I already added the 232, 245 pieces of the Horde mage sets, with correct set stats, and piece icons, as well as added the disambig pages for the Druid sets, both Horde and Alliance. --  18:18, 3 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep adding. Page moves aren't a big deal. -- k_d3 18:29, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Using Template Tooltip to categorize
I was wondering if making Tooltip auto categorize what can be categorized thru it would be a good idea? Over at Template:Tooltip/dev I have made a copy of Tooltip and added some  then categorize statements, of the parameters that I know to be used as categories. Take a look, play with and see if it looks doable or not?

I did seperate the Classes= into class1, class2, class3, class4 class5 parameters, so that it will categorize the items into each class that can use the item and made the  go into a non-existant Category:Deprecated classes= paramater to find the pages that used Classes= and can be changed over to class1, class2, class3, etc. --  01:39, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Something we should've done a while ago. I'm keeping tabs on /dev. Keep up the good work. -- k_d3 03:15, 17 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I see you took up the mantel of auto-categorization with tooltip/Dev. I can not do what user:Gourra wants, for I do not have the template knowledge to go into that complex of a template. But I do see from your history on it that the few I did (for the most part) I did them correctly overall. I had added this into the template as well:
 * Item Race Requirements -->{{#if:{{{settype|}}}|{{#if:{{{setnum|}}}|{{#ifeq:{{lc:{{{settype|}}}}}|arena||{{#ifeq:{{lc:{{{settype|}}}}}|tier||{{#ifeq:{{lc:{{{settype|}}}}}|dungeon|}}}}}}<!-- Hopefully I got the correct number of.

 * Categorization
 * one of: Category:Bind on Equip socketable gems, Category:Bind on Pickup socketable gems implemented
 * one of: Category:Red socketable gems, Category:Yellow socketable gems, Category:Blue socketable gems, Category:Green socketable gems, Category:Orange socketable gems, Category:Purple socketable gems, Category:Prismatic socketable gems, Category:Meta socketable gems implemented
 * one of: Category:Jewelcrafting crafted gems, Category:Dropped socketable gems, Category:Quest Socketable gems, Category:Purchased Socketable gems
 * one of: Category:Common gems, Category:Uncommon gems, Category:Rare gems, Category:Epic gems implemented

Still trying to figure out how to do the source. quest/purchased are doable... we don't have a programmatic way of doing crafted/dropped, though. -- k_d3 02:51, 19 August 2009 (UTC)


 * As always, I am against pushing categorization to the tooltip, even if it would save me a slug of work. Edit: and as the purchased/et al wasn't particularly amenable to programmatic solution, I simply started doing it the old fasioned way... --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 18:28, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Cataclysm
Forum:Updating for Cataclysm guide, anything you want to add or that I missed. 20:43, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

For the template Patched would it be better to set it like this? or such so that it sticks out in different color and all know it is not yet implemented? -- 19:20, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Sub-categories
"'blood elf quest givers' covers 'blood elves'" Not if you are looking at the blood elf list, and don't find the said npc, because its under blood elf quest givers. At least it annoyed me for editorial and comparison reasons. TherasTaneel (talk) 23:53, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Elinks-NPC
Elinks-NPC by default includes a WoWarmory link. The only mobs/NPCs WoW Armory has are bosses. It makes infinitely more sense for the armory to be an opt-in rather than an opt-out (such as elinks-object. But the current template has neither provision.

Being a high-use template, Elinks-NPC is locked from casual messing. You were the last person to edit it; could you add this feature? P-p-p-please? --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 18:42, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Twin Val'kyr
Nerfing through the history of Twin Val'kyr I find that you altered the loot descriptions in a major way: You changed a description of "alliance loot"/"horde loot" to "normal loot"/"heroic loot". Was this an intentional change? If so, where did you get your information? --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 22:23, September 1, 2009 (UTC)
 * At the time I thought it was a typo. It apparently is not. Feel free to revert. -- k_d3 22:55, September 1, 2009 (UTC)


 * Of course, like the "how tall are people" issue, I'm left with "now, HOW did they get that information in the first place?" --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 23:13, September 1, 2009 (UTC)

Bot, imagelink replacement.
I saw you're doing imagelink tag removals with a new format. No problem with that, and it works fine on some of my test sigs, but on the rest it broke them completely. I'm guessing this has something to do with you removing hotlinking too, which i'm not okay with, especially as i know of no new policy prohibiting it. Reference: http://www.wowwiki.com/index.php?title=User_talk:Zealvurte/SigX&diff=2036164&oldid=1339089 -- 22:57, September 9, 2009 (UTC)
 * We're trying to turn off the imagelink extension. There's no equivalent method of hotlinking images from other sites using the foo syntax. You're welcome to upload stuff locally if you want. -- k_d3 23:00, September 9, 2009 (UTC)
 * * Sigh* So there's no alternative being provided for displaying external images? Is there a discussion on this open? It's just i fail to see how user specific images benefit the wiki by being uploaded to it. :/ -- 23:08, September 9, 2009 (UTC)
 * Forum:Image links -- k_d3 23:10, September 9, 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Well i passed it onto Kirkburn anyway. I don't mind if i have to upload the images here/remove some, just seems there was some more considerations to take before turning off imagelink and making sweeping changes without informing people. Just leaving it as is now and will follow the outcome should i need to change my sig. :) -- 23:17, September 9, 2009 (UTC)
 * No prob. Sorry about that; I thought I had the bot ignore sigs. I guess not. Going to go see what other damage it did after I get back from dinner. -- k_d3 23:18, September 9, 2009 (UTC)

Statistics
... looking at the Statistics page, I have to guess that the "registered users" is inflated by including all of wikia in the number; even a complete turnover each month of active users could not generate such a figure. Of the various statistics, which were reset when we moved to wikia? --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 22:53, September 24, 2009 (UTC)
 * The only stat that's wikia-wide is the total users stat. Everything else should only be related to wowwiki. See Special:WikiaStats and Special:ListUsers for more local-stuff. -- k_d3 22:57, September 24, 2009 (UTC)
 * The edit count, then, did not get reset when we moved to wikia? --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 00:02, September 25, 2009 (UTC)
 * Nope. -- k_d3 00:12, September 25, 2009 (UTC)

Re: PTR
The notes? here. 1:14 AM, 2 Oct 2009 (EDT)
 * Heh. Awesome. They posted the notes first for a change. -- k_d3 01:17, October 2, 2009 (UTC)
 * Ya I saw it on MMO champion, then checked for an official link. Weeeeee... 4:53 AM, 2 Oct 2009 (EDT)

Patch bugs
Do you have any ideas what's going on with these bugs? I haven't the faintest. Template_talk:Patchbox, Template_talk:Patched. 5:01 AM, 2 Oct 2009 (EDT)
 * That's... really odd. Fire off an email using Special:Contact to let the techs know. They should be able to look in to it. -- k_d3 05:46, October 2, 2009 (UTC)
 * Fired. We shall see.... 2:23 PM, 2 Oct 2009 (EDT)

Anti-vandal tool
Does it work?--Strizh (talk) 11:48, November 8, 2009 (UTC)
 * Not since we changed skins and the RC RSS stopped showing diffs inline. I've also stopped working on it since pcj added the AJAX recent changes bit. I should probably delete them now. -- k_d3 02:41, November 9, 2009 (UTC)

Wow Gold Forum Deleted
Hello there, I saw that you deleted my post regarding my wow gold forums. I can assure you that these forums are not a gold selling site. They are a helpful collection of userful threads from wow gold making pros. Could you show me where I can link to them on the wiki in order to provide this community with the wealth of knowledge contained within the forums? Please look through the forum and confirm what I just said. Wow Gold Forum --Markco (talk) 02:02, December 11, 2009 (UTC)

The Magical kingdom of dalaran
kd3, thanks for noticing my quest guide to the magical kingdom of dalaran. Its an advantage I stumbled upon levelling me second character. Question though- Why are there three versions of that quest? If I recall, they are all neutral (violet hold) and are just located in horde and alliance cities. Really it should just be of violet hold faction. I added my quest guide to the horde and alliance versions nonetheless so anyone viewing them gets to see my little guide. Dh66 (talk) 00:05, December 20, 2009 (UTC)
