Administrator
Hey Snfonseka! I am writing because we are trimming down on the inactive admin list. I know you drop by from time to time but it looks like you're busy with other stuff. If you do come back for Dragon Age 2, drop by one the forums and we'll be glad to put you back on the admin track. Cheers! -- 00:27, October 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * Sounds good. Just hit up Loleil or me. I can't speak for her, but I will definitely be active then ;) Cheers! -- 03:19, October 29, 2010 (UTC)

Sten
Hey there Snfonseka! I generally don't moderate with a heavy hand unless the changes are objectionable, dubious, or breaks the reading flow of the article. For example, the picture with Sten isn't my preferred picture but it doesn't make the article unreadable or bad. So if you feel that a new picture improves the article, go ahead and change the portrait to whatever you feel best represents the character. Cheers! -- 05:36, October 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hey hey! Maria, Snfonseka and you showed an interest in helping out more so I left your administrator access as it were. Hopefully we'll see more of you as DA2 picks up ;) -- 18:51, October 31, 2010 (UTC)

Promo item pages help!
http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Hindsight http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Staff_of_Parthalan

I'm not sure if there is a promo page I should be adding too, but you can find your current promos here: http://social.bioware.com/user_entitlements.php

Edit: Just looked at the first games downloadable content page... Should I add these two to it or do we create a new page for the second game??

expanions
im not sanyg it should come out before dao 2 im just sayng that they shouldnt fuck off dao like they did mass effect 1 the said that the game would be getting a steady stream of dlc but since release only 2 mediocre dlcs have been made they really shouldnt forsaken such a great game

Page history
Hey, to find your talk page history you can use the "My Tools" link located in the bottom right corner of your page. Once you click it you should see a "History" button which will let you see your talk (or any other) page history. Let me know if you have any other questions. 03:31, December 20, 2010 (UTC)

Mini Spoiler and all
Hey there Snfonseka! I was on a vacation and didn't see your messages. So now that I have, let me address them here:

Talk History
There used to be an option for that - but when Wikia moved from Monaco to Oasis, that went away. There still a way of history by adding "History" to your "My Tools". Then you can click on "History" at any page you're at and see that page's history. The other way is to create a link

Downloadable Content for DA2
When DA2 comes out with DLC, the page should be Downloadable Content (Dragon Age 2) in line with the naming convention in Wikipedia. When that page is created, Downloadable Content should have a For link at the top. If you want to create it now, go ahead, but afaik there's no DLC announced yet so the page would be pretty sparse.

Spoiler Tag
If there's a need to make a mini-spoiler I can do that. I tossed that idea about in the the original spoiler discussion but there did not seem to be much demand for it. If there's a mini spoiler, I think the best way to go about is just to make the icon smaller, remove the quote and just say "For spoilers, click here". What do you think?

Cheers! -- 01:34, December 27, 2010 (UTC)

Mini Spoiler
I gave the mini spoiler more thought. If a mini spoiler is created, the smaller spoiler icon implies a less important spoiler/or an inline spoiler. In the example you gave me, the spoiler just needs to be shorter. So instead, I implemented a  option for every spoiler which you can see in action here. Hope that serves your purpose! Cheers! -- 20:54, December 28, 2010 (UTC)

Guides
Where would be the best place to post a guide possibly? I've written one and posted on my Info page, i've shown it to some of friends and they seem to think that it's decent. Apparently alot of people have trouble with the topic. Anyway just that question, also, if you can be bothered reading it, and telling me what i should improve on, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks --Adam Sizzler (talk) 07:37, January 14, 2011 (UTC)

Layout?
Hi i would just like to ask how you added the forum section on the portal? also i would like to know how you made the slide like window that contains all of your sections. i hope im not being rude by asking this questions but i would really appreciate it. :) RozenSky (talk) 09:37, January 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * Re:

Oh ok thanks for the reply will try asking him about it. ^_^ RozenSky (talk) 18:36, January 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * Re:

Sure thing. thanks again. ^_^ RozenSky (talk)

Portal design
Hey there Snfonseka! Of course I'm okay with you using the design. More than anyone else, I feel like we're part of the same DA community. Let me know if there's anything I can help with. The documentation at Help:Portal should help but if there's anything that's not clear, let me know. -- 02:09, January 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * In response to your question about which css sections to include, you will also need to include the section entiteld "main page jquery tabs/sliders". That is the core stylesheet for the slider components. -- 09:25, January 19, 2011 (UTC)


 * Re:Deux Ex's Sliders. The problem was with Template:Portal/Main. The links in that page were all pointing to . I fixed it for you. It works now. Cheers! -- 23:26, January 24, 2011 (UTC)

Companions
Hi! You should delete Companions (Dragon Age: Origins), and instead move Companions to Companions (Dragon Age: Origins). This is to keep the history in one place. --D. (talk · contr) 15:41, January 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for reminding me. My mistake, I totally forgot that. -- Snfonseka (talk) 15:44, January 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * No problem. Regarding the disambiguation word itself, you should read my reply forum. I think there's some confusion regarding that.
 * (I've moved your reply to here because it's easier to track discussion on talk page, rather than switching back and forth.) --D. (talk · contr) 15:54, January 18, 2011 (UTC)

I need some help here
I don't yet how to edit or post on the forums (which I want to do)and I don't know what wiki tutorial to turn to.

could please explain how to do these things or direct to a tutorial that will explain.

Thanks for the message
Thank you again. I'm still new here, so I'm still learning some stuff. Anything I can do to help, let me know. Also, I was trying to post something in your talk, but I don't know how. Maybe I should take a look at the tutorials...--JPH85 (talk) 12:09, January 29, 2011 (UTC)

da legends codes
plz could i have a da lengend code if you have any for spare thank you --- Hello, just saying thanks for the warm welcome and i hope i will be to some help with improving the wikia :)--Blazewick (talk) 18:54, January 31, 2011 (UTC)

Email address
Hey Snfonseka, give me your email address. Either drop leave it on my talk page or email me at tierrie at gmail. Cheers! -- 22:27, February 14, 2011 (UTC)

Save Games
Oh, I hope I am doing this correctly.

Hello there! I truly thank you for the kind message you sent me, welcoming me to the site. I do not have much experience with Wikias, so a helping hand from a veteran is indeed an asset for a lost soul like me.

There is one thing I would like to ask you however: due to my inexperience with this board I am not sure if this is an appropriate thing to ask here: would it be possible to set up a save game page, where people can share their playthroughs? With time ticking down on Dragon Age II, I am sure that most people would find it helpful to not having to play through the entire game for a single change. If this wiki is not the place for this kind of thing, would you happen to know of any sites that do have it? I know plenty for Mass Effect save games but have yet to find one for Dragon Age.

Regarding images
Hi, I want to post the mage picture from the bioware mage update to the DA2 mage page, but I don't knoe how to do that. How do I insert a picture in an article?

Piracy
A reader brought raised the issue about a user that openly professes to pirate the game. I checked his logs and it appears that the user is primarily a forum contributor and doesn't contribute to articles. I wanted to see what you thought about that. And to what level should we discourage such behavior? Furious frowning? A warning? A ban? What are your thoughts? -- 00:11, March 5, 2011 (UTC)

Another vandal
http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/67.177.185.168

We have a naughty boy in the Leandra Hawke page. Definitely warrants a ban, though so far I have reverted his changes (though need to keep an eye on it still). Balitant (talk) 07:47, March 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * Nevermind, Loliel got to him.Balitant (talk) 07:48, March 11, 2011 (UTC)

Uploading a better version of a existing picture
Hello, I have a problem. I tried to upload a higher quality version of a Force Mage specialization icon, but it didn't work (the old icon stayed even though I DID upload a new one). So I tried via different browser and... it boggles my mind, but the newest picture was the old icon and the older (that I uploaded first) was the NEW one that looked like the old picture before! So I thought everything sorted itself out and reverted to the correct higher quality picture and the situation repeated. The newest uploaded picture is always the ugly low quality while the preceding is my higher quality version. But the changes don't propagete until I try to upload a new version.

Differing the "approval" between DA:O and DA2
I was recently looking at the quest page for Forbidden Knowledge and it made me thing. The way that companions reactions to events in the quest is written on the page is reminiscent to how approval/disapproval is written in the Origins articles. considering that the friend/rivalry system is new to DA2 then perhaps it should be reflected on the wiki in some form. Now perhaps it already is and I am not doing my homework; if this is the case can you point me in the right direction?. Balitant (talk) 01:55, March 13, 2011 (UTC)

Become admin
Hey hello my friend, it's Itachou of Deus Ex Wiki ;)

Well, I want to become an administrator on this Wiki, and I wanted to know if the prerequisites were already validated.

Here are my contributions, I contribute mainly on image since just after the release of Dragon Age: Origins.

As you know, I'm already an administrator on The Vault (Fallout Wiki) and a bureaucrat on the Deus Ex Wiki, so my knowledge of Wiki is pretty good. I also have a great knowledge on RPGs in general (you can see on my user page) and Dragon Age is a universe that I appreciate greatly, highly diversified, well built and I will do everything to make the Wiki better that it is.

I saw a lot of vandalizing page helplessly and unused image that should be cleaned, what I inspire too. For the images, they are many but the best I have made are:
 * All image of the companions of Awakening except Mhairi, Oghren and Velanna,
 * All image of the Chevalier Armor Set,
 * King Cailan Theirin
 * Vigilance long sword
 * Vigilance Great Sword
 * Cadash Thaig Statue
 * Isabela,
 * Ser Isaac Armor Set,
 * Kirkwall map,
 * Free Marches map,

Otherwise my main contribution other than the image was the creation of Cadash Thaig page, The Withered page, The Black Emporium page, the Dog (Dragon Age II), creator of the first version of the Runecrafting Exploits (It was in the Runes page before), and improvement of the Materials page (put those of Dragon Age II) and Qunari page (make in the same format all race pages is one of my future goals).

I think that the prerequisites are already validated, but I liked your advice. Once this is doing, I made a message on the forum like all the others.

Thank you in advance for your reply my friend and nice day =)! Itachou [~talk~] 12:02, March 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * Ha? I edit since November 19, 2009, it's not like I was a newcomer (The Vault need 500 edits and 5 month of activity, and vote of course). I would say at least 20% of the images on the Wiki (except icons etc.) are my contribution. What I want most is clean a lot of things such as categories on some page that are mixed, categories armors no longer exists in Dragon Age II and they are always noted on the template, or reworked page like Spell (Dragon Age: Origins) or need created like Dragon Age II armor, and delete old images that clutters the Wiki.


 * If you think this is not the right time so I'll wait a bit, I begin to work more =). Nice day my friend and see soon! Itachou [~talk~] 15:20, March 17, 2011 (UTC)

I say my friend but I think you're right ;). Itachou [~talk~] 15:35, March 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * For clean the unused image yes, besides if you can only give me the power of delete image, which would suit me better than to become admin. Otherwise, I don't make major change for Qunari page, the format was already use in the Elves page before. Like I write in the Qunari talk page, have no specific policy on a certain point leads to what each choose the policy as it wants to follow, ensuing debate should not be.


 * The wiki is still young it feels, I truly believe that if you put a place a policy that everyone must follow, things would be done more quickly and smoothly.


 * Otherwise I continue my game of Dragon Age II for a moment, has the force of making contributions and trying to get the best possible image, I can't advance and nobody seems to see my efforts (there's even a person who told me that my contribution on the Free Marches page was bad, while it wasn't even me, great...), so well, is discouraging.


 * But I will pass on the Wiki from time to time for the moment, I just want to move. Nice day my friend and see soon! Itachou [~talk~] 15:39, March 18, 2011 (UTC)

Message
Was that message auto-generated? ViperXVII (talk) 16:06, March 18, 2011 (UTC)

Companions
Asked and answered! Anyway, can you take a look at http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Companions_%28Dragon_Age_II%29 It seems the Companion Armor link is broken but I can't fathom why, I even tried with the _ included to no avail.

Achievements
I was wondering if you thought it would be a good idea to add an achievement section to the dragon age 2 directory on the front page. I personally would use it a lot and I think most people would too. It said you protected it, so I figured you would be the one to ask, thanks.

Strider
hello,

I tryed to change Strider to varterral in the Creature list but i couldent and it told me to cantact you

Sorry for not signing my post to you earlier I've only just learned how to do it --Grabsy (talk) 05:01, March 22, 2011 (UTC)

Portal
Well,I meant the page that is two to the left of that portal.

chest piece vs. Chestpiece
I noticed that several Categories use the spelling chest piece. I am not sure if it is wrong spelling per se, but at least it's not the spelling the game uses. In my opinion they should be renamed to be consistent with the ingame spelling. --Lindianer (talk) 09:16, March 25, 2011 (UTC)

Haven't noticed that one. But there's also a Category: Light chest pieces and Heavy chest pieces. These are the ones I stumbled upon.--Lindianer (talk) 09:30, March 25, 2011 (UTC)

I don't know or care which admin gets him first....
But I'm playing edit war with some vandal on the Oghren page.... http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/198.49.81.49 Balitant (talk) 21:04, March 25, 2011 (UTC)

Quote policy?
I've been trying to scour the wiki for any sort of precendent or policy on the quotes, but I can't find one. Some of the pages (like Hawke and Anders) are growing out of control with the quotes, but there's no rhyme or reason that I can find on which ones should be there or not. Please help? HelterSkelter (talk) 22:44, March 25, 2011 (UTC)

Naming guidelines for capitalization
Hi, I'm new to this wiki (though I'm a wiki vet) and noticed you were changing the capitalization of many quest articles to all lower case. You say it's following a policy, but I can't find it, and quite frankly it doesn't make much sense to put them in all lower case when they're capitalized in-game. Would you mind telling me where this policy is? --Gimmethegepgun (talk) 14:21, March 28, 2011 (UTC)

Layout builder
I've passed this to Loleil as she implemented them, but I thought you'd like to know about it too, as I am requesting to disable a wiki feature, the layout builder. It is the new CreatePage and it is breaking pages; as such, I'm suggesting to disable it. See Forum:Disabling the layout builder. --D. (talk · contr) 18:53, April 9, 2011 (UTC)

I tried copying the whole dragon age file from my old lappy and transfer to the new one, but the saved files doesnt seem to show. I really dun want to replay the whole thing again and with all my downloadable contents gone. Would you Help Me pls. ..

Same vandal is striking again
Hi,

Somebody has been vandalazing the pages recently in this wiki with a picture from Mass Effect:evolution comic and picture saying "I'm the real Lancer thus your edit is invalid". In as much as I'd liked to undo the damage in the article, I can't seem to do so because I can't find the source (filename) of the pic during editing. I also can't undo the change in the history (edit) because the culprit's contribution can't be found. I believe the same childish vandal is striking again (from the previous days) and this getting on my nerves. please do something.(note:vandal occured two minutes after I post this message)--TyraelMM3 (talk) 11:30, April 30, 2011 (UTC)

Never mind this message, it seems User:Loleil has already done something about it.--TyraelMM3 (talk) 11:39, April 30, 2011 (UTC)

Hawke and Isabela
Hey Snfonseka! I noticed that you rolled back some changes with the images of Hawke and Isabela. I don't think the user is trying to pass it off as an official wallpaper (at least, I don't see any indication of it). Rather, it appears as if he/she is just interested in sharing a high resolution picture of the both of them. What do you think? -- 21:32, May 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * I definitely agree that we don't want fan art running around. But the image seems to be very high quality and while the source is unknown, we're not sure that it isn't from BioWare since it looks like it could come from them. What I am saying then is that it passes my "looks official enough" test. I certainly don't want to hinder ourselves from putting up some really gorgeous pictures of the game if it looks like it could be from within. Does that sort of make sense? -- 04:24, May 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * I appreciate the vote of confidence. I also trust your judgement. I just happened to stumble on this one and wanted to chime in. Feel free to speak your mind anytime. :) -- 06:47, May 25, 2011 (UTC)

Deus Ex refreshing problem
I've found that some lower traffic Wikia sites takes a lot longer to refresh than Dragon Age Wiki. There has been times when DA Wiki has had the same problem, usually when they migrate to a new server. This is usually because the server keeps a cached copy of the page and does not update the page when you click save.

You can force a refresh by appending ?action=purge to the end of any page. This tells the server to immediately purge the cached copy and generate a new HTML page from the wiki markup. There's more information here if you're interested in the nitty gritty details. -- 00:00, August 20, 2011 (UTC)
