Runes
First of all, thanks a bunch for all the good work you're doing.

May I just ask you to avoid creating page for existing but renamed items? E.g. all the runes are there but have been renamed from Rune XX to XX Rune. See User:Lirielle/NameChanges for a list. All internal links have been mass-changed through a bot, but the final steps (moving the page and adding history) are still to be done on some pages. --Lirielle 13:07, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Project
You asked what kind of specific contributions you could offer. The wikia badly needs a global overhaul of the NPC pages. This would imply applying the correct template, fill in some information and add pictures. Just let me know if you're ok and I'll give you some guidelines. --Lirielle 12:51, 2 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks for accepting the project.
 * You'll find the list of NPCs on my user pages. I suggest using User:Lirielle/NPCs as a base and as a checklist. The idea would be, for a start, to update all existing pages.
 * Must do:
 * update template to npc2 (see Template:Npc2 if needed)
 * Note: npc 'options' are listed on my user page
 * Should do:
 * organise pages based on the option list (i.e. a section per option: Talk, Buy/Sell...)
 * when applicable, add a standardized Quest section ('assigns', 'features in')
 * Optional:
 * add pics (let me know if you feel like it)
 * add dialogs
 * Notes
 * All categories are automatic - just be sure to use the correct names for areas and subareas
 * A good idea would be to create a 'skeleton' on your user page or on User:Lirielle/Style Guides/NPC Pages (see the other style guides for examples)
 * I'll monitor your edits and let you know if I forgot something ;), but see hereunder.
 * You are welcome to suggest and apply improvements. From now on, the project is YOURS. If you want to change the approach, just be sure to get the consensus. (Template changes should be discussed with sysops beforehand.) With all your edits so far, I'm confident that the project is in good hands. Thanks.
 * I suggest you create a user page such as User:Galrauch/NPC Project to discuss the project.

Well i have seen that you have finish with the names so think you can call this project finish? or there is still work to do here? --Cizagna (Talk) 22:36, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah I'd say it should all be finished. Of course the Npcs still need a lot of work (De stubbing, checking all the informatiuon is actually correct etc.), and I've probabyl made a few errors myself here and there, but on the whole all NPCs should be Npc2 minimum now.

NPCs
When updating NPC pages: --Lirielle 23:14, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Be sure not to delete valid information (use eg. notes if the information doesn't fit elsewhere) - eg. Foreman Ikure
 * Be sure to use to correct subarea names - eg. Incarnam npcs, Bish Fone
 * The majority of the time when I'm updating the NPC's all I do is 'recycle' the information. By that I mean just place the information that was already on the page into the NPC2 format. For Bish Fone it stated his loc as 'Fish Hut' so when I updated it I assumed that the loc was correct and just put that onto the new template. In future I will try to double check the information on the pages. Galrauch 17:14, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Monster pages
Pls. refer to User:Lirielle/Style_Guides/Monster_Pages. Thanks. --Lirielle 18:35, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Pls. leave the ' ' marker alone.
 * Very short descriptions of spells are accepted. Pls. feel free to make them summary, but do not delete them.

Sellers
Pls. note that we do not record individual Sellroom tenants ('Astrubian Alchemist Seller' etc.). Thanks. --Lirielle 12:21, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Monsters
When editing monster pages, be sure to follow the guide. In particular, do not use the monsterpic but the monsterpic2 template. Thanks. --Lirielle 03:59, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
 * With those monster pages (some minotoror creatures if I'm not mistaken), I was just updating the area nothing more. Although I should fully update the pages I find it very consuming and as of such I will often leave the majority of the page alone.Galrauch 17:21, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Uba Tesse
I have add the location of this npc but there is non blank for what its sells, could you add that it sells Big Phial for 10 kamas. --Cizagna (Talk) 16:30, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks --Cizagna (Talk) 16:58, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
 * No problem :). Galrauch 21:55, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Adminship
Hi, sorry for replying so late, I'm pretty busy ATM.

We are currently not officially looking for admins, but I feel we are in need for one. Talk to Cizagna and see if he feels like calling for candidates. --Lirielle 15:55, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Dike Tarak
Can you take care of Dike Tarak? TIA --Lirielle 07:11, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
 * K I'll have a look at it. Galrauch 15:37, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

The Village NPCs
This night I've be wandering about The Village and updated all NPCs. Some are still missing their dialogs, though. All pics have been added and I had to rename a few NPCs based on IG experience. I did NOT update your checklist. --Lirielle 09:35, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
 * OK I'll update it when I can. I may have to restart it, what with the changes made to my Stley Guide Galrauch 09:45, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Edits
Hi, I did some edits, I hope you don't mind? I compared them with my own expierence and checked some on the game.

Also, what is your name on shika? I'm playing there too Backpacker 16:18, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Reply
Ok! Thanks for that. Polepe 18:30 Monday 2nd June

Safeguard?
Why are you taking the safeguard of and putting the name of the actual NPC?, i dont see whats the issue since in came the page gets moved/rename you will not have to update the links --Cizagna (Talk) 01:13, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

For example this one --Cizagna (Talk) 01:14, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

your help is required
I need you to help me on this A.S.A.P. since we only have 2 days before im force to put the navigation links as how i have it for more info read here --Cizagna (Talk) 04:23, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Congratulation
Due to your dedication to fighting vandalism in this wiki I have granted you RollBack powers, its just a faster/easier way to revert vandalism. For disagreements on pages its always better to use undo or even discuss it at talk pages. Use this new power with wisdom. --Cizagna (Talk) 18:47, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Cool thanks ^^. Perfidous T E C [[Image:Silf the Greater Bherb.png|50px]] 19:00, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Your signature
If you want to have "Email User" red in your signature, instead of E try  E. This should work a lot better (And I've recolored my signature to show you how it's done). Adventures OfA  Squirrel zzz04:49, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Ah ok I'll have a go at that, atm I'm just having a mess around witj my signature, I'm still pretty useless in terms of coding so thanks for the advice. Perfidous T E C [[Image:Silf the Greater Bherb.png|50px]] 08:17, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. I just noticed that the coding in your signature didn't seem to look right, so I thought I'd point it out to you. I only know what I've learnt from other people or looking around, but I have picked up quite a few things here and there.

 * it changes the color of the text but the problem is that its a link so there is an inherit rule from the CSS, Squirrels signature is done by modifying a the "font" been little more specific and less global than "color" outside the link. For this link to work, the link must be  (clue: the color tagging its inside the link not outside) thought avoid to use red for links, remember red means the page does not exist on links --Cizagna (Talk) 14:57, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Re: PNG
Hihi :) Im using crappy program with those pictures and it doesen't want save my files format called png. It save my files to format PNG. I thought that they are same thing, but... pictures does not work without changing png to PNG :) I hope that you understand what do I mean. Czacha 19:37, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * The naming by your program doesn't matter. On a page with a missing pic, click on the red link. On the upload page, locate your pic on your pc and you're done. The file is automatically named as is expected. --Lirielle 00:02, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
 * It does not matter if your program saves it as PnG or pNg or any lower or big caps, when you are uploading a picture it has 3 boxes, 1.- the one where it the address in your computer 2.- how the file is going to be save at the wiki and 3.- space for you to add a short description of what you are uploading.
 * once you have done the 1st one (look for your file) the 2nd would be fill (unless you click on the red link as lirielle explain) after the 2nd is fill you can alter your PNG for png and it will be save at the wiki as lowercaps --Cizagna (Talk) 17:34, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

New Categories
Watch out with the new categories you are creating many of the ones i have from templates are copy paste from the place i originally copy the initial code since we dont have a starting base of categories to browse down our community pages most of the categories you are creating are uncategorized for proper navigation.

Also creating links just so they are not red is a mistake that we have already seen by User:Tildar that he created a lot of duplicate pages because they where red links intead of checking if they already existed due to a name change
