Running a bot
Hi there. Firstly, thanks for updating the navigation template.

Secondly, I'd like to run a bot who would convert "in Dragon Age II" and the like to "in Dragon Age II" (italicized). It was born out of the discussion here – User talk:Viktoria Landers. I did a test run on 10 pages, and everything seemed to work normally. Now I'd like to do a larger number of edits. What is the best course of action here?

I do not intend to have this bot running fully automatically, and I'm going to run it in small batches (10-20 pages at a time) so that I can check edits manually. In the future I'd like to use it for similar tasks. For example, with the split of the Ages page, we need to update all links pointing to the now absent sections. 21:35, June 29, 2013 (UTC)


 * Mostlyautumn. I have noticed that in more than half the cases that a page links to Ages, there is another reference later on which could also link in that page. Now with the split (which is not finished), if a page mentions the Exalted Age and later on the Blessed Age, we'd only change the first one, and the other one which wasn't a link would go unnoticed. What I want to say is:
 * Do the disambiguation manually.
 * Read the whole article in case links for other Ages (or pre-Ages) can be found. 21:57, June 29, 2013 (UTC)


 * My plan was to find all instances of " " and link the first one for each age. Oh, and do it in the main text only (i.e. not in infoboxes or other templates etc). Anyway, as I said, I'm going to check all edits manually. 22:06, June 29, 2013 (UTC)

No problems, and it would be great to have an active bot running on the wiki. The general process for a bot is to create a new account for your bot, then contact Wikia to ask them to flag that account as a bot. Make sure to link to this discussion so they know you've got the all clear. From there you are free to use the bot as need (assuming all the changes are non-controversial, approved, etc.). Looking forward to seeing your bot in action. 17:38, June 30, 2013 (UTC)

New spoilers!
Hi Miss Amazing Admin! How have you been doing? I just wanted to point out this amazing new (old) feature I threw together last day (and night). The spoilers! I rewrote it using some fancy new things I learnt. So, I think you should take a look. Let me know if anything breaks or if something is out of place.

Plus, I left a note on Viktoria Landers page about potentially making some spoilers obsolete. That is to say, they are shown by default instead of hidden by default. Of course, the user can still toggle them and their preference will be remembered. Do check it out and let me know what you think :) -- 12:09, June 30, 2013 (UTC)


 * Oh no Mr. Kitten admin, it looks like they're broken, all the text is sitting below the image and there's no definition. I can send you a pic if needed, but I'm sure it looks amazing when they're working.


 * I think it's a good idea to ease up on the spoilers. Perhaps if people are still hesitant about Origins spoilers we can find some way of indicating that the collapsed spoiler is still a spoiler so they can stop reading? 17:38, June 30, 2013 (UTC)


 * Scratch that. All is looking as intended and looking good! 18:04, July 1, 2013 (UTC)

Precedent on Multi-Section Areas Edit
Hey Loleil, i wanted to ask you about a structural precedent. I'm trying to decide how to divide up the different areas of Chateau Haine in terms of articles. The problem is the two most similar articles, Fort Drakon and the Gallows both use completely different approaches. Fort Drakon just includes a map for each section and lists all NPCs and enemies on one page. The Gallows on the other hand has a separate article page for each section of the Gallows and overall page. Is there a particular style we are meant to follow?-HD3 (talk) 10:32, July 1, 2013 (UTC)


 * To my knowledge this has never been formally discussed, but the general precedent is to split off an "sub-area" into a separate article if the area is unique and has enough content to warrant it's own page. Based on what I've seen, I think using the style of the Gallows would be appropriate for Chateau Haine, but used your judgement to see if each area needs its own page. 18:04, July 1, 2013 (UTC)


 * It's something of a tough call. Both the initial area outside the gate at the very start of the DLC and the actual Chateau interior which you fight through/infiltrate later are both just listed in game as "Chateau Haine". The courtyard area is "Chateau Courtyard" however. We could run it as one article easy enough. Though unlike Fort Drakon, where 4 of the 5 sub-sections are only involved in one quest, each section of Chateau Haine has at least one unique npc and one unique quest specific to that section.-HD3 (talk) 05:31, July 2, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hmm based off your description I can see the dilemma. Given the unique quests and NPCs it still seems as though the Gallows/Vigil's Keep style is the way to go though. 00:42, July 3, 2013 (UTC)


 * Ok Ive written the articles for the other sections of Chateau Haine and updated the rest of the articles appropriately. If you like check it out sometimes, could use an external critical eye.-HD3 (talk) 12:20, July 3, 2013 (UTC)


 * I will go have a look . 17:16, July 5, 2013 (UTC)

Didn't Algol go little too far?
Didn't Algol go little too far? I used to call opinions of others brainwashing propagandas and he calls it a paranoia. That's not so different. http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Inquisitor_vs_Flemeth 78.8.143.19 (talk) 21:27, July 1, 2013 (UTC)


 * You're right that it's not an ideal response. However, it sounds like it was based off a misunderstanding which has now been resolved. 00:42, July 3, 2013 (UTC)

Mark of the Assassin Quest NPC
Hi Loleil. Im sorry to bother you, but i was wondering about a couple of NPCs in Mark of the Assassin. Do you think it would be worthwhile for to make separate pages for Gabriel, the Hunter and the Scholar? or should we just leave them as part of the quest pages.-HD3 (talk) 05:08, July 3, 2013 (UTC)


 * It's no bother. Thanks for all the work! I'm not a big fan of giving pages to character's whose only purpose is to give quests, but there is a precedent for articles like that, so if you feel like creating some new articles and they pass NOTABLE you can go for it. 17:16, July 5, 2013 (UTC)

The user who adds random categories
Hi. This guy hasn't stopped after you warned him. 06:12, July 7, 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the info, and on a different note, I'm glad to see your bot up and running. I had no idea there were so many articles needing italics! 03:09, July 8, 2013 (UTC)


 * Aaand... he's back :) 16:50, July 14, 2013 (UTC)


 * Aaaand time for a longer block. 17:17, July 15, 2013 (UTC)

Elora's Halla page
Hello. I'm not sure this is the right place to ask, but I'm wondering why the page of the Quest Elora's Halla has a full list of all the side quests of DAO, when the other side quests pages do not. And on the other hand, there are errors on this page (about the skill requirements to solve the quest), so maybe it hasn't been updated since the latest patches ? I don't want to edit the page myself without confirmation and authorization, especially since I'm not used to do it. Sorry If it's not the right place to ask, I tried searching the forums and found nothing... --Charoleia (talk) 14:03, July 8, 2013 (UTC)


 * All the side quests showing up was an error due to some code that was removed from another page. It should all be working as intended now. As to editing, one of the key concepts of a wiki is that anyone can edit! So if you see any blatant errors please go right ahead and fix them. If there's something where you're not sure about the facts, making a topic on the talk page, as you did, is the way to go. Happy editing! 21:59, July 8, 2013 (UTC)


 * Yes I know it's the point, but I am always afraid of messing with something... Anyway, I corrected it. Thanks for your time and help :) --Charoleia (talk) 23:51, July 8, 2013 (UTC)

I made a new forum topic and I invite to discussion.

Re:Broken file link in signature
Sorted. I apologise for the problems it caused you. Alexsau1991 http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090121065227/starwars/images/thumb/c/c7/Goddammit.svg/25px-Goddammit.svg.png (talk page) 22:39, July 15, 2013 (UTC)

Cut content
If a page about Easter eggs exists, so I decided to start making a page Cut content revealing all abandoned concepts of the games, but they require references, so we could be sure that's no fanfic or speculation. The article is in early state and needs to be completed. If you know something more, I'd appreciate your efforts in putting new informations.78.8.139.185 (talk) 21:25, July 16, 2013 (UTC)


 * Looking good! I added links to our category pages on unobtainable items so that people can check out some of the cut/missing items too and a reference heading so that all the references will show up. If any other cut content springs to mind I will add that in there too. 03:28, July 17, 2013 (UTC)

Bronze Sextant/Wending Wood
The Wending Wood was misspelled on a few pages as The Wending Woods (plural). I cleaned up all the ones I could find, but a curious thing is happening with the page Bronze Sextant. If you look at the page itself, it gives the correct location name as Wending Wood. But when you go to the Gifts (Awakening) page and look at the sextant on the list (it's one of Nathaniel's gifts), it gives the location name as Wending Woods.

I know absolutely nothing about how tables work in the wiki, and I can't see any way to modify the gift table on the Gifts page to correct the spelling, and everything on the Bronze Sextant page itself looks correct. Not sure what I'm doing wrong here as it doesn't seem to have happened with any other page I corrected... Kelcat (talk) 04:07, July 24, 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks for fixing that up for us! The reason that the table was displaying the name incorrectly was that it takes information from the notes line on the infobox for Bronze Sextant and that is where the mistake was. 04:41, July 24, 2013 (UTC)


 * I have no idea how I missed that infobox! Thanks so much for fixing it. Kelcat (talk) 04:50, July 24, 2013 (UTC)


 * You're welcome . 06:53, July 25, 2013 (UTC)
