[edit] Admin

Hi KickAssJedi. Wikiscrolls isn't actually hosted by Wikia, so I'm not able to make you an admin there. Instead, I've made you an admin here at Wikia's Elder Scrolls wiki. This site has been inactive for some time and has no other active admins, so I'm hoping you will be interested in reviving and relaunching it. If you need any help with that, just let me know.

Do you think the users at the other wiki would be interested in moving their content here? Their content is also under a free license, so it could be merged with this wiki. I can help you to do that actual move if the community decides to go ahead a merge. Angela@Wikia (talk) 17:24, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

I went ahead with the merge since we're trialing a new tool which moves wikis. You can find the imported pages here. Let me know what you think. I can easily remove them if you'd rather not seed the wiki in this way. Angela@Wikia (talk) 01:29, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
Hey, I'm the owner of the content over at Wikiscrolls. If you want, I could relicense everything to whatever license suits you best. Everyone (including me) lost interest in Wikiscrolls, so I'd be more than happy to have everything moved over here so it won't be wasted. --Aristeo 00:51, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
I meant that you could have the content without having to attribute it back to Wikiscrolls, a restriction noted here: Elder_Scrolls:Wikiscrolls. As a legality, I think I'd have to relicense everything under the GFDL, which I think is Wikia's preferred license. In addition, you could also take either the theme to UESP or the theme to Wikiscrolls (with exception to the logos), both are owned by me.
Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help your project. I'm glad someone's decided to take over where we left off. :) --Aristeo 03:04, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Birthsighn --> birthsign

Hi KAJ (You'll probably recognize this username),

In all of the race infobox templates you've written "birthsighn"; it should, however, be "birthsign". If you're going to add any more large templates, could you check through them, because delving through the coding to find the error is a really annoying procedure.

Thanks,

Game Lord

[edit] Stubs

Hi KAJ (Sorry if I seem to be pestering you),

I was thinking that if we had one large category:Incomplete pages, then divided that up into the following:

Stubs Cleanup required Image required Incomplete in another way


I've alredy designed userboxes for the first three that follow a basic visual idea. I thought that it would be a good idea to change the {{Stub}} template to fit in. Right now we've got:

These templates have been removed to prevent false categorization

If we changed it it would be:


These templates have been removed to prevent false categorization


So, what do you think as admin for the wiki?

[edit] Mentor

I'm building a Mentor page right now, similar to the one on Wikiscrolls. I just wanted to say that I took the liberty of adding you to the list, as your also the sites only administrator. I hope you don't have a problem with this, but if you do, tell me and I'll remove you, or just remove yourself. Thanks - Game LordTalk|Contribs 10:53, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Plans for Armor/Morrowind

Hi KAJ,

You might have noticed I've started building a page for Armors in Morrowind. Right now there are a lot of red links, but if you're going to add anything, make an individual page; for example: Armor/Morrowind-Steel Tower Shield. Don't add the tower shield into the page Armor/Morrowind-Shields. Instead add a transclusion. In the long run this will save a lot of time, because we only have to type out the information once, then transclude it to Armor/Morrowind-Shield, and Armor/Morrowind-Steel. This is easier if an item has to show up on lots of pages. Thanks :) - Game LordTalk|Contribs 16:15, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] IRC

If you're interested, we could make a chatroom that we could use for coordination and chatting and stuff like that. I've registered a channel over on ECnet called #ElderScrollsWiki, so if you like the idea, come over and check it out. — Aristeo (talk) 17:02, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Try it again, it's working now. Here's the connection info if it doesn't:

  • IRC client – http://www.mirc.com (Or http://www.ecnet.org/chat if you don't want to download anything)
  • Server – irc.ecnet.org on port 6667 (It usually doesn't ask for a port, but if it does, it's 6667. The java chat handles this automatically)
  • Channel (aka chatroom) – #ElderScrollsWiki (Just type in /join #ElderScrollsWiki

I'll see you there! — Aristeo (talk) 18:54, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Looks like you just left the room. If you're having problems with the Java client, you could try the CGI client: http://ecnet.org/cgi-irc/irc.cgi — Aristeo (talk) 19:19, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Oh, and don't forget to use the /join #elderscrollswiki command once you connect! — Aristeo (talk) 19:20, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
You could ask a staff member to add the channel to wikia's, and so users would be able to log in it from irc.wikia.com without the need of a program --Κενβιλλ (Speak) (Español) 19:39, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Protection

As an admin, would you mind to protect the main page for prevent vandalism? It would be a good idea. --Κενβιλλ (Speak) (Español) 19:36, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Checking out Recent Changes, You protected it for one year. I recommend you block it infinitely for prevent future problems. --Κενβιλλ (Speak) (Español) 20:39, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Improve the wiki

I've been looking around the wikia and it has improved since the first time I arrived here. I have been thinking about many ways to make it even better:

  1. Create a in-wiki forum (If you wish I can manage it)
  2. Request a wikia staff member to create interwikis between all the family.

It's all for now, you don't need nothing else for the moment. Greetings --Κενβιλλ (Speak) (Español) 20:48, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Main Page

There is no need to fully protect the Main Page. As you can see, the vandalism was from an IP address, thus semi-protection should be sufficient. Please refer to w:Help:Main Page. -- Manticore (talk) 06:39, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Past Vandalism

Hi, KAJ. I wanted to let you know that I was extremely embarassed by the vandalism done to the main page here two weeks ago. I've talked to other active admins at UESP and can definitively say that none of us would in any way promote or condone any such behaviour. I've taken several steps to try to ensure that everybody involved with UESP knows that such vandalism is completely inappropriate. I sincerely hope that there are no repeats. --UESPNephele 16:56, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Admin

Hi KAJ,

Thanks for the support on my adminship. If you want to give support, could you please put your vote on the administrator page (It makes the whole thing look more professional.) Thanks. - Game LordTalk|Contribs 15:26, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] OblivioWiki

Hello again,

You've probably heard of OblivioWiki, but had you noticed that they've moved to wikia? - Game LordTalk|Contribs 17:02, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

It would be a good idea that they fuse the wikia with ours, and with Morrowikia too --Κενβιλλ (Speak) (Español) 20:31, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Complete re-do

Hello again...

I was going to post this on my talk page as a part reply, but thought it better to put it here. I was thinking about the wiki's page/category organization methods, and thought that instead of having the default sortable as what the article is about, we should have it as the province in which it occurs. Did that make any sense? What I basically mean is that instead of Armor/Morrowind and Category:Males/Cyrodiil, we have Morrowind/Armor and Cyrodiil/Males. The advantages would be that the entire wiki would be built sort of like a big tree, if you see what I mean, which would make getting around more easy. The disadvantage would be that someone will have to go through all the pages and re-categorize, re-name, all of them, and then you, or me when I get the rights, will have to do a lot of deleting. So what do you think? - Game LordTalk|Contribs 10:29, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] More and more

More updates (Hope you're not getting tired of this),

I've written a new table class, "standardtable" or just "standard", which you can now use when making tables. Below you can see the result.

Header 1Header 2
Normal Cell Another Normal Cell

- Game LordTalk|Contribs 19:11, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Conflicts

KAJ, I've finished the Oblivion Crisis! Thanks for all your help on that front. I now plan to move on to the Mages Guild and Knights of the Nine. Do you have any ideas as to what these conflicts should be called? I've labeled them Mages Guild-Necromancer Conflict and Auroran Crisis so far, but if there are canon names I'm not aware of, or just something else they're being called on the wiki or elsewhere, I'll use those instead. Thanks again!GR Groe 04:01, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Seyda Neen people

Hi KAJ, I just wanted to say sorry about making all people in Seyda Neen be Imperials, I was simply copying/pasting the empty template, and forgot to change it. - Game LordTalk|Contribs 23:50, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Infoboxes

Hi KAJ,

About the NPCm infoboxes. I have two things I was wondering about. The first is: If we have a "race" parameter in the template, why do we have seperate template for the races? The color commands could easily be controlled by the "race" param, not by the template name. Second: Is eye and hair color really nescessary? Aren't infos like Health, or various skill levels more useful to the reader? - Game LordTalk|Contribs 18:25, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Ok, I'd go with the real-world perspective, but as for categorization, well the code would be simple: 
{{#switch:{{{Race|{{{race|}}}}}}
|Altmer=[[Category:Cyrodiil/Almter]]
|Argonian=[[Category:Cyrodiil/Argonians]]
|Bosmer=[[Category:Cyrodiil/Bosmer]]
|Breton=[[Category:Cyrodiil/Bretons]]
|Dunmer=[[Category:Cyrodiil/Dunmer]]
|Imperial=[[Category:Cyrodiil/Imperials]]
|Khajiit=[[Category:Cyrodiil/Khajiits]]
|Nord=[[Category:Cyrodiil/Nords]]
|Orc=[[Category:Cyrodiil/Orcs]]
|Redguard=[[Category:Cyrodiil/Redguards]]}}
The other thing is that say we want to add something to the NPC pages, then the easiest way is to add it to the infobox, but although 10 is a lot less than every article, 1 is a lot less than 10, and like I said, I can't see any downsides of merging them into 1. - Game LordTalk|Contribs 20:15, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Canonicity

KAJ, I was wondering, for the Mages Guild conflict, should I label the Guild champion as the Hero of Kvatch or just "the champion"? In the game, the answer is obviously Hero of Kvatch, but in the game world, I think it's only sure that the Hero did the Main Quest, KotN, and SI. Let me know if I'm wrong, or what you think the player should be called for the Mages Guild. ThanksGR Groe 06:01, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome message

Hi KAJ, about your welcome message. Firstly, you can add the message by simply opening Elder Scrolls:Messages, typing in the user's name, and hitting "Send Message". Secondly, isn't the message a bit too big? It's instantly obvious that the message is automated, which for a start makes it seem less like a friendly "Hi". Also it's a bit annoying for any user to have that huge thing at the top of their userpage. I already had another message written which you can see here. - Game LordTalk|Contribs 15:43, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Bureaucratship

Hi. I think there needs to be a requests for adminship page first. All that bureaucrats can do is turn other users into admins as long as there is community consensus for that, and a requests page is the best place to see which users everyone agrees should be an admin. Angela@Wikia (talk) 17:30, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Game Lord just told me that Elder Scrolls:Administrators exists, so that's a good place to apply for bureaucratship as well. Angela@Wikia (talk) 13:35, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright Violations

KAJ, I need to alert you to this and this. As I'm sure you're aware, copying material without credit is clearly unacceptable. I'm sure you don't condone these activities but it reflects badly on your site when it happens. rpeh 14:03, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

He already deleted them but i uploaded them again and gave usep full credit for them

To see the credit all you have to do is click on the image and scroll down to the bottom

[edit] Logo

It's great, but that K seems too much that it has been taken from the I and V from the Oblivion logo. Would you mind that I squash it slightly so it looks more natural? Even more, I can also upload you the Spanish version favicon.ico image. See you --Κενβιλλ (Speak) (Español) 19:00, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Done ;) --Κενβιλλ (Speak) (Español) 19:35, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] MorroWiki Merge

Hi KAJ, Could I bring your attention to this? Thanks. - Game LordTalk|Contribs 20:17, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Xidette

Would you mind deleting it? There is almost no information in it, it's just someone asking for some help --Κενβιλλ (Speak) (Español) 15:01, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Done. - Game LordTalk|Contribs 17:09, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Black Hand

Yes I would be interested in being on the Black Hand. Darth Storm 10:24, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Former User:Dagoth Ur, Mad Dog

[edit] Chatroom

Hi KAJ,

May I bring your attention to this? It would be nice to see you there! - Game LordTalk|Contribs 17:32, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Norwegian Version

Hi KAJ! It's nice to see this page up and active, and it partly inspired me to start my own version. I was just wondering If I could use some of the stuff you have made? If you want me to credit you in any way, I will do so, but I'm rather new to this whole thing, so if you could help me a litle that would be great. First of all, I've edited a little on the front page, and I'm sorry that I didn't ask for permission first. I clearly should've done so, and I'm not sure why I didn't.

You can find the norwegian wikia at this link

PS! If you don't want me to, I'll remove the stuff now at once. Just say the word.

Cheers -=KAG=--The Gray Fox 06:57, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] RE: Norwegian Version

Well, I'll remove them then. Do you think you could help me make some new stuff? I'm pretty new to this whole thing. What do I have to do to be able to use the same templates? Change colors? Change words? Also, the wiki IS hosted on wikia, does that matter?

Cheers. -=KAG=--The Gray Fox 21:46, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] UESP theme

I've brought the UESP theme over: User:Jhjnju/monobook.css. Jhjnju 06:32, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Edit Button

Can you or Game Lord make the button beween "discussion" and "history" say "edit", KAJ? Jhjnju 07:42, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Template

Do we have a template for locations like cities. If not I think someone should design one.

Darth Storm 18:54, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Skin

The new skin looks good. It looks a lot better. Darth Storm 20:07, 24 June 2008 (UTC)


The septim coin image in the top box looked a lot better than the new elder scrolls one....

[edit] Two things

Hi KAJ,

Sorry I've been absent for a while, but the new ads in the content area has made me dislike Wikia.

Two things:

Firstly: Why did you complicate the Main Page's code again? I spent a while getting rid of that. The Rb and Rt templates are totally unnecessary, as are the div IDs and classes, which don't even exist on this wiki. If you want the visual effects, that can be acchieved through wiki tables.

Secondly: The use of UESP's background parchment was a copyright violation. We've had a copyright violation issue before and I don't want it repeated.

That's more or less all. - Game LordTalk|Contribs 19:29, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Sure, you may have Aristeo's permission to use it, but why would you want your wiki to look like UESP? Do you want this wiki to look like it's trying to be UESP? Wouldn't it be better for it to be notable for its own reasons, different from but as good as UESP? Just my two cents... --GuildKnightTalk2me 02:44, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] How's this?

You got it! :)

[edit] Monobook

Just checked Monobook, and it looks great!

I have my prefs set to whatever skin the admin has set for the wiki, so I see monaco here usually.

I really like that background behind the logo! You should work with the monaco skin to swap the top two colors so that that background is behind the logo on the monaco skin too.

Looks great! :)

--Nathan (Peteparker) (Earth-1218) (talk • contribs • email) 19:55, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

You could also move the Main Page to 'Elder Scrolls Wiki', so it says that at the top instead of 'Main Page'.
--Nathan (Peteparker) (Earth-1218) (talk • contribs • email) 19:56, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] RE: Monaco

Hello, KAJ. Sorry about my extended absence there for a time. I do indeed see monaco, along with a frequently changing logo and logo-backdrop. I like the overall look.GR Groe 05:26, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Daedric Alphabet

Yeah, that would look good, really good. It would also be another way for us to distinguish the Elder Scrolls Wikia from the other Elder Scrolls sites.Darth Storm 12:46, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Yes I do have my skin preference to monaco and it looks really good especially with that new logo and the background around the search box area.Darth Storm 12:55, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

I agree, the Daedric Alphabet is an extremely good idea. The monaco is great too, the site's really coming together. It would be great if the articles could have Daedric as well, but that's getting too far ahead of ourselves.GR Groe 02:01, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] New Featured Article

I think we should vote on and get a new featured article for the Main Page.Darth Storm 13:20, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

We could do Lucien Lachance, Vicente Valtieri, or Ocheeva. In my mind those are all pretty good articles.Darth Storm 13:35, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Images

Would you like me to upload the transparent ones over those, or should they be separate?

--Nathan (Peteparker) (Earth-1218) (talk • contribs • email) 17:10, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

That should be all of em. Let me know if I missed one. :)

[edit] Daedric Text and Featured Article

The Daedric Text looks really good. I have also filled in all of Vicente Valtieri's red links, and expanded his beginning paragraph. Darth Storm 18:57, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Vicente Valtieri

I finished doing what you said for Vicente, so check it out then tell me if there is any more I need to do.Darth Storm 02:02, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Greymarch

KAJ, I just finished the Auroran Crisis, and now want to move on to Shivering Isles and the Greymarch. However, I wanted to know: since the GM technically took place in Oblivion, as opposed to Tamriel, should it be classified under the Tamriel/Battles page? Just a small concern, I'll ask Game Lord too. Thanks.GR Groe 02:33, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Tree Build

This is a message I'm sending to all our active users on the wiki. As you may have noticed, parts of the wiki (Mainly the battles) are built as a tree. This should be true not just for the battles, but for all pages. Quest pages, NPC pages, all of them. If you are unsure about what section to put a page in, contact KAJ or myself. - Game LordTalk|Contribs 10:55, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Featured Article Vicente Valtieri

Ok I filled in the red links, expanded the main paragraph, and filled in the red category links on Vicente Valtieri. Darth Storm 05:21, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Recent Edits

Actually, most of my information is canon. I admit that some isn't canon, like some of their home cities but that was an error on my part as I was looking at several things at once. I will change the things that are noncanon immediately. Darth Storm 20:33, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] New Here

Hello this is Kajuur im new and i've made alot of edits and i just finsihed Daggerfall just tell me if i need any changes in the way i am writing i have somewhat alot of knowledge about the elder scrolls and thanks for noticing if you need help in anything im a good writer all around and so just tell me and if so if i keep on improving may i be up for nomination on the black hand if you have any openings or maybe silencer? I would prefer to be on the black hand though and i'm always active thanks and goodbye leave me a message on my talk page.

[edit] Dates and Kajuur

Recently when going through the categories, I noticed that their were dates... Like January 8. I really do not understand why they would be on the Elder Scrolls Wiki, so I think they should be deleted.

Kajuur has been active recently and really expanded our Morrowind article and added some new cities, such as Necrom. Do you think we should nominate him for Speaker? Darth Storm 13:54, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Oblivion Articles

Hey KAJ this is Kajuur and i would love to expand the oblivion articles or help out with it but i dont know if i should do the morrowind section more than the oblivion because I saw you needed help with it so i did alot on it. So just tell what needs to be done. Kajuur Yeah i'll create user shortly.

[edit] Newbie on the block.

Hi I'm pretty new here but I do know a bit about the art of the wiki. If theres anything you want doing just leave me a message and i'll get onto it pretty quick. I am active now but will notify when *sigh* inactive... I have already created an Oblivion races page which includes links to the ten playable races in oblivion which i will work on shortly. Regards Lewbot1 09:47, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Bendu Olo

Hello KAJ, Groe here. Again, sorry 'bout me leave of absence, I think I'll start posting on my page when I'll need to be gone for a while. But I had a question, before I got started with the Shivering Isles stuff, which will be soon. Have we decided to start using Bendu Olo for all mentions of the main character, as opposed to Hero of Kvatch, Champion of the Mages Guild, etc.? I still use HoK in my pages, and I created the Champion as a way of leaving the character ambiguous, allowing visitors to the wiki to insert their own characters without having to surrender to the Construction Set's default. But is it unneccesary? Looking at Darth Storm's Dark Brotherhood pages, I began to wonder if Bendu Olo is the accepted version now. Let me know.GR Groe 05:10, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Featured Article Vicente Valtieri

GR Groe voted in favor of it becoming our new featured article. Should we go ahead and update the main page or wait for Game Lord to vote, which I don't think he'll be doing anytime soon. Darth Storm 20:08, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
