Hi, thanks for the welcome message ! Long-time lurker, first-time poster :) --Crocks (talk) 16:55, April 7, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hey :] It's actually an automated message, so welcome again! --D. (talk · contr) 17:04, April 7, 2012 (UTC)

Hey D. Is the chat acting weird today, or is it just me? EzzyD (talk) 16:59, April 7, 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm not getting any issues with it right now, but I know it has been a little glitchy those past days (not seeing the list of users in chat, not seeing messages you send, etc.) No idea why this happens, but hey—Wikia. --D. (talk · contr) 17:04, April 7, 2012 (UTC)

DA2 DLC order.
Hi. I would like to know what is the correct order and when is it the best time to do the DLC in DA2 ThatKidHavoc (talk) 22:52, April 7, 2012 (UTC)


 * There's no correct order for DLC, though I suggest to do Exiled Prince quests as soon as possible since you won't be able to do them if you're already in Act 3. --D. (talk · contr) 00:59, April 8, 2012 (UTC)

Hello D-day!

Thanks for the quick "welcome wagon" message! I wasn't expecting it, because I thought that I've been here since the game came out, but apparently not. I guess I was just lurking as a "guest" all this time. Leo Star Dragon 1 (talk) 01:05, April 12, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hey! The welcome message is sent automatically when you first edit on the wiki. That would be why. :] --D. (talk · contr) 01:12, April 12, 2012 (UTC)

Hi, and thank you for the information about Ream-Ward and Warden Commander set editing. I was unaware that was the case. Hickorie (talk) 07:55, April 13, 2012 (UTC)

Hahaha, okay, I hope this means this account is not some automated greetings stuff. Anyways... Thanks for the welcome stuff!


 * Lol, it isn't! :D I'm a real person, sort of. The welcome message is automated though. --D. (talk · contr) 16:12, April 13, 2012 (UTC)

Hey,

Can you check out the edits I made (and was undone(?)) by Aleroth Sarenford? I made grammar edits, he seems to be grumbling. The page is Ladies' Lights Out.

06:31, April 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * He didn't undo the edit: he kept your edits but changed a few words. I don't see anything wrong with your edit or Aleroth's more latest edit on this page. 16:58, April 24, 2012 (UTC)

 * Moved to User talk:Aleroth Sarenford

over the top?
I find this statement, "To me, those who burn Amaranthine down either can't see the moral choice, or don't care about the moral choice." (Believe it! (talk) 04:07, May 1, 2012 (UTC)) in Forum:Awakening: Vigil or Amaranthine rather offensive, as it implies lack of moral qualities on the part of those who chose this option, but given my history with Believe it!, I turn to you for an objective opinion. --Ygrain (talk) 12:19, May 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * While it may appear condescending, I don't really see this as offensive or particularly insulting. It's pretty much like someone not understanding how someone could enjoy "Dragon Age II", and they have no taste. 17:50, May 1, 2012 (UTC)

Jakeson Hall
Can you decide whether to keep the page Jakeson Hall or not? The page for the Invisible Sisters was removed so I'm not sure this merits a page. I did edit the page so that it was more presentable than what looked like a troll page (which was what I thought until I googled). 07:25, May 2, 2012 (UTC)


 * I can't decide, so you can tag it for deletion instead. 17:19, May 2, 2012 (UTC)

Vandalism
Hi) Do we allow such blog posts? Asherinka (talk) 08:20, May 4, 2012 (UTC) And some more. Asherinka (talk) 08:32, May 4, 2012 (UTC)


 * Blocked and deleted. Thanks! 16:23, May 4, 2012 (UTC)

And one more. Asherinka (talk) 09:18, May 13, 2012 (UTC)

can't remember how to force it
what is the syntax for "a href"ing a link and forcing column width in a table using ItemGiftTable template with style=iconmini? i thought the Gifts (Origins) lookup table might be more compact and cleaner with about 1/4 the lines if the 1st column had a forced width about twice as many characters as it has now such that there are no word wraps, and if the display name of the longest item in that column:

Discovering Dragon's Blood: Potions, Tinctures, and Spicy Sauces

was changed to just show

Discovering Dragon's Blood

it would make that column much narrower but i cant remember how to do those things in the context of template table. thanks. Goats (talk) 06:18, May 6, 2012 (UTC)


 * You can fake a link with the icon by using Template:InventoryIcon.


 * However, the table is going to look awful regardless on the default skin (there's an icon with an arrow to expand it). Even if the width of the first column was defined and the name shortened, the table (by default) will still look horrible, because it's too big, but the expanded table is the alternative (and good) view. As such, I think there's no need to actually change it. 16:24, May 6, 2012 (UTC)

Overhaul project
Feel free to remove it, I don't play the Dragon Age franchise any longer since DA2. I might go back to DA:O/A sometime soon but I am done with the wiki for the most part (I still occasionally check on my workarounds, etc but nothing major). I am actually focused on Mass Effect franchise and Skyrim now. It was a public project I just linked it to my page because it was convenient. Mictlantecuhtli (talk) 20:07, May 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * Okay, I've removed it. 14:55, May 11, 2012 (UTC)

Vandalism 2
UserIP 112.205.21.46 has left the same message "Worthless users with nonsense topics." for the topic "Who do you want to punch in the face?". Banhammer requested. 10:26, May 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * Request denied. This isn't vandalism, but rather a poor attempt at insulting people, though removing comments may be. The user has been warned however. 14:55, May 11, 2012 (UTC)

Blog
[http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Chayank/Cheap_Kitchens TROOOOOLL! In the blogs!]

Thought you ought to know. 10:18, May 13, 2012 (UTC)

Picture
Could you delete, please? I uploaded it and then uploaded a better version and realized this one will have no use. Asherinka (talk) 11:05, May 14, 2012 (UTC)


 * Done. 14:52, May 14, 2012 (UTC)

Concept art
Hi

On what page you found this photo? Please give me a link. Thanks in advance.
 * You can see the source on the file itself (I generally try to soure everything when I upload images). I got it from BioWare store. 15:56, May 21, 2012 (UTC)

Wiki Features
D, as i was going through my ADMIN dashboard(on another wiki) i noticed That you haven't activated many of the wiki features here, i advice you to activate them as all the wikis out there have started doing so, cheers.--Aleroth Sarenford (talk) 07:58, May 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * I know they exist. I don't want them, and it's not my call. 15:16, May 24, 2012 (UTC)

Sounds like a hell of a time your having as an Administrator D, having pepole to make your desicions for you, i think we should praise Wikia for Bureaucrats, Stay safe.--Aleroth Sarenford (talk) 03:32, May 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * You are misinterpreting what I am saying. On this wiki, bureaucrats and administrators do not have the authority to decide if we want certain features enabled without the consent of the community. You can do what you want on your wiki, but this isn't something that works here, and I believe people prefer it that way. 03:46, May 27, 2012 (UTC)

Editting for newbies
Hey would it be okay for me to make gramatical edits or spelling edits?
 * If you mean edits in the mainspace, you can of course correct them. Posts made by other users (on talk page, or forums) shouldn't be edited though. 16:55, May 24, 2012 (UTC)

Thank You
Automated welcome message received. Posting faux-automated response. Thank you for the welcome. (P.S. Please tell Isolationistmagi Pierre says hi.) (PP.S We may have met in Monico.) Thanks again for the welcome. --173.31.234.95 (talk) 01:09, May 27, 2012 (UTC)


 * Welcome! Non-automated message this time. :D It's been a while I saw Isolationismagi, but I'll say hi for you the next time I do. 01:47, May 27, 2012 (UTC)

I just recently got word that Ezzy confirmed my Merrill glitch (Using Wounds of the Past without Blood of the First active when told to in tactics) on the PC version. Should this be added to the bug page then? --Dracowrath (talk) 13:19, May 29, 2012 (UTC)


 * Of course. You may also add it on Wounds of the Past. 15:05, May 29, 2012 (UTC)

Chat
Did something happen to the chat while I was gone? I came home and the chat page is gone. :S

01:52, May 30, 2012 (UTC)


 * I wasn't there when it went down, but:


 * "Chat will be down for at least an hour tonight, starting about five minutes ago. There's a performance problem that the techs have been working on all day. They turned off Chat for a little while to help them isolate what's causing the problem. Last I heard, they were planning to turn Chat back on in about an hour. Sorry for all the glitches today, and not giving any notice for the Chat outage. Thanks for your patience. :)"

It just came back up. Sorry to bother you. 02:03, May 30, 2012 (UTC)

Hi, I joined this wiki just now. Well, actually I joined it to leave my name on the guide - on the Harvester (strategy) page. I see some dude named Geis in front of his tactic, so I guess it'll be fine for me to do that too? Patre0203 (talk) 16:13, May 30, 2012 (UTC)


 * No, you shouldn't leave your name (the person who did before shouldn't have either). You don't really "own" the guides if you added them in the mainspace articles, as they may be edited by other users in the future. 16:17, May 30, 2012 (UTC)


 * Oh... Well, got it.

Untitled #10
Hey D-day, sorry to bother you but is the Chat acting weird for anybody else? I keep trying to access it and when it opens a few seconds later the "disconnected" message shows up. I restarted my browser and got the same message. Help? EzzyD (talk) 18:30, May 30, 2012 (UTC)


 * It's currently working, so it's only a problem on your end. You may want to try with a different browser. 18:32, May 30, 2012 (UTC)

Hi Do you know why that stupid bug in  "The Golem in Honnleath" happens? Thanks --Zumbox (talk) 23:47, June 2, 2012 (UTC)

hey baby what's the happs?, Tommy Swank at your service, just wanted to say that the automated message is Ring-a-ding, and this joint is 18 Karat top to bottom, just wanted to drop by and say hello, if you need anything anytime i'm in, catch yous later.--Tommy Swank (talk) 11:19, June 5, 2012 (UTC)

Good day, D, i just wanted to tell you about the party here: http://www.wikia.com/Entertainment/ToMoro you can bring a friend and i thought you were the best choice for a guest to come with me, tell me soon after you see that link, cheers.--Aleroth Sarenford (talk) 15:51, June 9, 2012 (UTC)

Hey D-day, just a warning that Jak is back (excuse the rhyme). Also, on a different note, is there anything wrong with the chat? I can't seem to connect today. Thanks. EzzyD (talk) 16:34, June 12, 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for welcoming me (Even if it's automated[:) Mainly, I feel like a bloody idiot, because I'm stumbling around the page trying not to mess anything up. I'm entirely new to the wiki community, so it's difficult to blend in. I tried to join in to a forum, but I don't exactly know what happened... I use this wiki all the time, and I thought I might want to actually help or get involved, but I am examing everything, and its a little confusing.RozenHawke343 (talk) 02:07, June 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * Welcome to the wiki! Do not worry about making mistakes when it comes to editing (either in mainspace articles or on the forums); someone will fix it for you. [: Regarding your recent edit on a forum thread, it was not formatting properly because you added spaces before your actual post, e.g.:

Bla bla bla bla


 * as opposed to

Bla bla bla bla


 * which is why it rendered weird. Hope this helps! 02:11, June 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * Oh, if you wanted to do actual indenting, you must use  like this:

Blabla
 * Bla bla bla bla
 * Blablabla
 * Blabla

Ind. pieces of the armour sets?
Over the last couple of days, I have been adding screenshots of the unique items to their pages. However, what should I do for the more generic items that belong to specific sets?

I have noticed that the Armour Set pages already provide most of the information about the individual pieces in the tables, like their armour rating, fatigue and the stats bonuses. The only thing missing is the item description. If it were to be added to every table, then the individual pages for the set pieces would become completely unneccessary and could be removed.

However, that would then jar with the pages for the non-set items, like Armsman's Tensioner or Repeater Gloves. As such, the alternative is to keep the individual pages, remove the reduntant tables from the set pages and add screenshots to the individual armor pieces.

Which option should I follow? Thanks in advance. 4Ferelden (talk) 05:23, June 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * Correct me if I misunderstood, but all items in-game do not fall within the notability guidelines, and are meant to have their own page. I believe the only type of items that do not are Junk in Dragon Age II.


 * Individual pages will definitely not be removed. Those lists of pages are meant for a quick overview (which trasncludes the pages from each item set page), but they sometimes have more information on the armor set that is better left on their individual page, e.g., bugs, trivia, images, etc. 19:35, June 17, 2012 (UTC)

Hi, have you encountered glitches in DAII where when you finish a task, the game often will pose encounters with individuals where it appears the task isn't finished (i.e Hawk's mother murdered, yet a female templar, Moira interjects with how the templars executed DuPuis in error)?99.196.198.103 (talk) 16:49, June 17, 2012 (UTC)


 * I haven't gotten bugs like that, so I can't help you with this. You can ask on the forums for help if you're encountered them. Sometimes, the pages on the wiki may have bug fixes. 19:35, June 17, 2012 (UTC)

Hi! and Help?
Hi! Glad to finally join considering I’ve been using this site for ages lol! Um I get signing our post, but I'm not sure If I cam posting the post right lol!

How do I correctly respond to other post in discussions? I am kind of confused... Thanks!


 * If you meant to indent, you should be using  rather than spacing, e.g.:




 * If you use a space before your actual post, it will mess up the formatting of the page. Someone recently asked me a question regarding formatting, see here. 22:10, June 17, 2012 (UTC)

Hi and Help 2
Thank you so much D-day! I think I am slowly getting the hang of things. And thank you for the link!

there is a person who comes in the chat room late at night expecting sexual conversations this is now the 4th day i have told Michael but he said that seemed harmless from my print screen shots but this person claims to be my grandpa which i have no grandparents amongst the living and it is a little annoying the persons name is Tunsalous if need be i will take more screen shots but i hate filling my new pc up with such dirty things. thanks in advance Andross2020


 * As stated in a PM, I've temporarily blocked Tunsalous from the chat and the wiki, per chat logs and his personal wiki. Please provide screenshots next for his harassment in the chat, and upload them on your Photobucket account or Tinypic as soon as possible, so you don't have to keep these on your PC. 13:06, June 20, 2012 (UTC)

i will upload them to tinypic since photobucket is not letting me log in or i have actually forgotten my log in info and it does not remember my e-mail :S --Andross2020 (talk) 14:13, June 20, 2012 (UTC)

I may have made a bad judgment call.
I undid an edit that looked to me like a vandal, only to have it come to me that the post was made on someones talk page... While the edit that was made was particularly nonsensical, I may have infringed on a users right to remove content on their talk pages as they see fit. The relevant information is here. Balitant (talk) 07:57, June 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * That's okay. The user who posted this is known for spamming and harassing Andross2020. If a message is vandalism or spam, you are welcome to undo it, unless the user wants to keep it for some reason. 13:35, June 24, 2012 (UTC)

Hey, here's that message I was wanting you to translate. It's kinda short. "Happy Birthday to one of my best friends! Sorry I couldn't get you anything special, but hopefully this message from a friend will suffice!" --Dracowrath (talk) 02:04, June 25, 2012 (UTC)


 * If I remember correctly, you said your friend is a woman? In that case:


 * "Joyeux anniversaire à l'une de mes meilleures amies! Désolé de ne pas pouvoir te donner quelque chose de spécial, mais j'espère que ce message en tant qu'ami suffira!"


 * Forgot how hard it is to translate sometimes, even for something simple, heh. 04:50, June 25, 2012 (UTC)

What's up with this user?
Hey,

Can you check out this page? The commenter is a bit... harsh. 11:27, June 25, 2012 (UTC)


 * The person has been warned. 15:47, June 25, 2012 (UTC)

Tunselous
D, i think that you will be happy to know that Tunselous won't be trolling anymore, i...negotiated with him and he told me that he won't troll anymore and told me that the reason he came here was to talk to Andross2020 and talk about his [|his story], strange, no?

and you told me that that talking to trolls won't solve it, oh and if you ever see him on the chat do let him stay there for a bit i want to see how good i got in psychology, stay safe!,--Aleroth Sarenford (talk) 09:35, June 27, 2012 (UTC)

what kind of "No" is that? --Aleroth Sarenford (talk) 16:21, June 27, 2012 (UTC)


 * No, I will not let him stay in the chat. 18:24, June 27, 2012 (UTC)

so, how about a thank you for solving the problem?,--Aleroth Sarenford (talk) 21:09, June 27, 2012 (UTC)

Monobook troubles
Hey admin, just wanted to let you know that they seem to have changed something in the generic Wikia Monobook CSS file and it now overrides the settings from the local Monobook.css, so that the entire content area appears white (with white text), and the inactive tabs are invisible, as well. I could confirm this both on Firefox 13 and IE 8 and I refreshed the cache multiple times, so it's not a browser problem. I first noticed the error today (maybe it's been around longer). You can probably replicate the error if you change the layout to Monobook. --Koveras Alvane (talk) 15:20, June 29, 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes, I noticed! I use Monobok skin actually. Wikia upgraded MediaWiki to 1.19.0 just recently. I'll try to fix it today. :] 15:22, June 29, 2012 (UTC)


 * Gotta love them. They just change stuff without any warning... And thanks in advance, I use Monobook on all wikis, too. ^^ --Koveras Alvane (talk) 15:27, June 29, 2012 (UTC)


 * They gave an update about it (no fixed date), but you had to know about it (i.e., check Community Central for updates, and that's not something everyone does).


 * I switched to Monobook when they implemented the new editor, and never changed it back since then. :D 15:30, June 29, 2012 (UTC)

The Founder
How are you today, D? i wanted to speak with the wiki's Founder about...something, could you link me to him, thanks and stay safe!,--Aleroth Sarenford (talk) 07:19, June 30, 2012 (UTC)


 * What is this about? The founder is not an admin here and is no longer active; it's been years. 11:20, June 30, 2012 (UTC)

no longer an Admin!!? shows you how much appreciation Founders get these days.... I just need to talk to him about something, D, if he is no longer Active i can E-mail him, so, can you get me the link to him? thanks,--Aleroth Sarenford (talk) 15:36, June 30, 2012 (UTC)


 * He is no longer active. Being the founder of a wiki does not mean you're (a) a good admin, and (b) that you have absolute authority on the wiki. Why do you want to talk to him? For some reason, I'm thinking you're going to ask him about merging wikis, since that's what you've been doing on other BioWare wikis. Or is it something else? 17:51, June 30, 2012 (UTC)

Divide take the talk pages! talking on them is too slow, PM me next time on the chat, D, thanks,Aleroth Sarenford (talk) 23:27, June 30, 2012 (UTC)
