Precedent on Conflict Pages
Hey Kelcat, I need some input. Remind me, we don't put spoiler tags on conflict pages do we? Because they're all one massive spoiler like the quest pages ? - 04:22, November 5, 2014 (UTC)


 * I'm pretty sure that we don't, or at least we haven't in the past. -- 02:09, November 7, 2014 (UTC)

The Art of Dragon Age: Inquisition images
Hey, I remember you finding the statement from Bioware that any leaks before the art book's release would count as piracy. TheShadowAngel66 has been uploading images from the art book, just thought I'd let you know. Also notified King Cousland. -- 07:18, November 7, 2014 (UTC)

Angry Joe video
Someone previously made a blog post with news category, which was a blog about Angry Joe's video of Inquisition, and the category got removed eventually. Now someone did it again. Could you please, if I'm right that blog doesn't belong to the news, remove the category?

You know those times when you expect to be a lot more available and then of course are not? Glad to see these both got taken care of. -- 01:05, November 8, 2014 (UTC)


 * Whoops, just saw I forgot to sign that last one, was kind of in a hurry. And that's okay, I suspected you'd have a hard time being available these days, that's why I left a message on KC's page too. Hope everything's okay :) -- 01:30, November 8, 2014 (UTC)


 * Everything's good! Currently absorbed in Sunset Overdrive during my free time . -- 00:17, November 9, 2014 (UTC)

Legacy & MoTA Files
Hey, Kelcat! I've been meaning to ask you how you got the ID codes for the items in Mark of the Assassin and Legacy. I was recently using PyGFF to extract game files, but it doesn't work for the DLC. I'm guessing BioWare changed the way they code their files between the release of DA2 and its DLC? I'd really like to get the files, especially for Legacy (specifically for Malvernis's robes/gear). Any help would be appreciated! Thanks! --Death by Cheese (talk) 22:15, November 8, 2014 (UTC)


 * User:mostlyautumn pulled those id codes, not sure from where. He may be able to help you with what you're looking for. -- 00:17, November 9, 2014 (UTC)


 * Ah, got it. Thanks for the help! --Death by Cheese (talk) 00:37, November 9, 2014 (UTC)

Untitled
Hello, I was asking around for a way to apologize and I was brought here. A while ago on an old account (Ascetic496) on the two week mark from release of Inquisition, I edited the DAI page to say Draconic Lodge Incubation along with a few other edits. I didn't think this would offend anyone, more bring a laugh than anything to celebrate how close we are to dragon age inquisition.

I'd just like to apologize and say sorry about the edit. I won't add anything unless it's actual information.

I made this account because I got access to a computer and was able to make an actual username with a working space bar.

Once more, I'm sorry and it won't happen again.


 * That's not a problem. I don't recall the incident, but I'm sure it's water under the bridge by now. I hope you have the chance to become an active editor now that you have a space bar! -- 00:17, November 9, 2014 (UTC)

Character Trailers
Hey, what do you think about an article where we could assemble all the character reveal trailers for the different games? - 13:45, November 9, 2014 (UTC)


 * I think having some articles with game videos would be helpful. We already have Videos, but it needs a lot of work, and only contains videos from Origins. -- 00:27, November 10, 2014 (UTC)


 * Ok how about, provided they continue to release character reveal trailers for Inquisition as they did with Awakening and Origins, how about a separate gallery page where we could assemble the character reveal trailers and link them back to the companions category pages?

As for the other videos, I think the easiest option would be to merge the appropriate trailer videos etc. into the Game articles, like we have with Dragon Age: Inquisition.Thoughts?

- 00:47, November 10, 2014 (UTC)


 * Or we could just go back to my original idea and just include a link to the character trailer in a gallery on the relevant companion article. I'm flexible about doing that on the earlier games but I think the ones for the Inquisition companions should be included given that they seem to actually show additional narrative content that isn't in the game itself (where each companion was at the exact moment the breach occured)

- 01:13, November 10, 2014 (UTC)


 * Personally, I think having videos on the character articles is needless cluttering, and I'd vote for having a separate page for all the videos of a particular game. Our guidelines state only official trailers should be on articles, with a few exceptions, so making a change to that by adding character videos and other non-trailer type videos to any article would constitute a change to the guidelines. Which, of course, should be voted on. -- 23:11, November 10, 2014 (UTC)

Dragon Age Series Bar Links
I'm just wondering will the Dragon Age games: The Last Court, Heroes Of Dragon Age (and the other facebook one who's name I can't recall) be added to that bar? Since all three are Dragon Age Games, I'm wondering this because comics books and Dec all are listed Ontario here alongside the main games (also not sure if you're the one I'm ment to ask thiamin so appointed, orgies if I'm asking the wrong admin about this) Blitzbear93 (talk) 21:32, November 9, 2014 (UTC)Blitzbear93


 * Hey, I hope it's okay if I answer. The structure of the top bar will definitely be redesigned, so it'll cover as much as possible, hopefully including TLC, HoDA and Dragon Age Legends (the Facebook one). Maybe even Dragon Age Journeys too. -- 23:23, November 9, 2014 (UTC)


 * "Appointed orgies"? Margerard and User:Tierrie are the main ones working on the main page layout, and it's definitely a work in progress. -- 00:29, November 10, 2014 (UTC)


 * XD I'm sorry thought I'd fixed up all the incorrect words I have auto correct so it changes words to other words I apparently use a lot...was ment to say appologies, so many incorrect words in that post xDBlitzbear93 (talk) 18:27, November 10, 2014 (UTC)Blitzbear93


 * No worries, autocorrect can be quite amusing at times -- 23:11, November 10, 2014 (UTC)

Photoshop Help needed
Hey Kelcat do you know anyone who could use photoshop to clean up an image for me? Its the menu screen of Inquisition that shows the Templars and Mages marching to attend the peace summit. It'd be perfect for a couple of articles but I just need to get ride of the big "PRESS START TO PLAY" text in the middle of the screen. Sadly thats well beyond my own minor image editing abilities. Anywhere you could refer me to? - 09:46, November 10, 2014 (UTC)


 * User:ACdeakial has been doing all of the 4-tier HoDA images, and I believe he does them in photoshop. Might want to try him. -- 23:11, November 10, 2014 (UTC)


 * Tremendous, thanks Kelcat! I'll get on that.

- 00:40, November 11, 2014 (UTC)

Nobility and Royalty Titles
Ok well its been well over a week and no one other than the two of us seems to have taken an interest. Unless you really think its worth prolonging the discussion further or making a more proactive effort to get other editors involved in talking about it, I think we should go ahead and use the Orlesian model. - 11:22, November 10, 2014 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I think that's fine. -- 23:11, November 10, 2014 (UTC)


 * Ok I shall go ahead and update that then.

- 00:40, November 11, 2014 (UTC)

Instant Expert FAQ
Hey Kelcat, I just finished the first draft of the FAQ for the "Instant Expert Page" which is supposed to introduce new players to Dragon Age. I'd be very grateful if you could take a look at it and either make or let me know where you think I should make improvements. - 10:16, November 13, 2014 (UTC)


 * Sure, I can look at it, can't seem to find the page, though, for some reason. 10:27, November 13, 2014 (UTC)


 * http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Portal:Dragon_Age_Inquisition_Instant_Expert

Yes for a portal page its rather hard to find. Maybe we should put up a news post or something. - 10:31, November 13, 2014 (UTC)


 * It looks really good! The only thing I noticed was an inconsistency in capitalization of humans, elves, and mages, but the info itself is great. -- 08:36, November 14, 2014 (UTC)

Venatori Talk Page
Hey Kelcat, I just opened a new discussion on the talk page for the venatori which I would appreciate some feedback on. Basically just trying to help establish a precedent for whether we should have individual unit pages or not. - 08:19, November 14, 2014 (UTC)


 * Sure thing. -- 08:36, November 14, 2014 (UTC)

Images of certain characters
Hey, it was brought to my attention there are images of Corypheus and Samson from the opening scene in the game, and I quickly categorized and licensed them since Леди боли usually doesn't. Only a bit later I saw that you added to the other pictures such as Empress Celene, Briala, and I wondered if the images would count as leaked/pirated (that's why I left alone Gaspard de Chalons for now). The reason I wonder is because people already had early access to the game, and apparently the images with Samson and Corypheus are from the opening scene. Judging by that I thought maybe those images are from the beginning too. However I don't know if that would still count as an illegal leak, capturing images from a game that already had early access to. What do you think? If the categories and licenses should be removed, let me know of feel free to do it in advance. -- 17:50, November 14, 2014 (UTC)


 * No, I think if any images are from the opening of the game it wouldn't be considered a leak, seeing as how BioWare allowed access to the game on a wide front. As for Celene and Briala, I wasn't aware they were from the opening as I've avoided watching videos for now, and there's no indication of the source of the images; there was some confusion about whether those images were actually of the two ladies, so I added the no license tag until I could find out for sure. But if they're from the game and labeled correctly, then we can change it to a BioWare license and go from there. -- 22:37, November 14, 2014 (UTC)


 * To be fair I have no idea if those images about Celene, Briala or Gaspard are from the beginning or not, but I do believe those are the characters in question. However simple belief doesn't matter if the uploader didn't provide source, so I suppose the No license tag could is well placed there. But someone else confirmed Samson and Corypheus by adding image description and DAI sections on their respective articles, so I suppose those two images are not the same as the others. -- 23:08, November 14, 2014 (UTC)


 * Sorry to intrude but on a related note I just had a thought about those particular characters. What do you think about using an image of them wearing their respective noble masks in the infobox and then (provided we can get one) an image of them without it in the involve DA:I section?

- 23:16, November 14, 2014 (UTC)


 * I think it's a neat idea, but depends if we want to be strict about showing pictures in infoboxes that show the face of the character best. I like the idea as it's fitting for the theme of Orlais, but I'm okay if it's not going to happen in the end. -- 23:33, November 14, 2014 (UTC)


 * As far as whether or not those images are from the game, I think it's best to wait until the game comes out, as the user who uploaded the images unfortunately chooses not to add descriptions or citations when uploading (not much I can do about that as they've been told to do so in the past). As far as what images go where, I would think that images without masks should go in the infobox, and images with masks be placed elsewhere in the article, unless they never appear in the game without the masks. I think it's better to have infobox images where faces aren't obscured by helmets or other headcoverings if at all possible. -- 23:34, November 14, 2014 (UTC)

Re:Archiving talk pages
Hi Kelcat, apologies for the (very) late reply! I've been rather busy recently. To answer your question, yes, I don't think that would be a bad idea at all. I'm assuming you're okay to go ahead and do that? 19:49, November 17, 2014 (UTC)


 * No worries on the delay, I can understand being busy! I will go ahead and archive the page then and leave a link. -- 23:22, November 17, 2014 (UTC)

Promotional Game Walkthrough
Hey Kelcat, do you think it is worth creating an article with a walkthrough for the Quest for the Red Lyrium Reapers promotional game on the dragon age website which gives you the free promotional DLC weapons? - 02:11, November 18, 2014 (UTC)


 * Not sure; I haven't played the game, and probably won't--at least for awhile. If you think it warrants one, then feel free. -- 04:06, November 18, 2014 (UTC)

Source to those images?
Nothing big, just remembering our previous discussion regarding if those images about Celene and the rest is legit, it would seem so that it is. Well, it doesn't mention Briala, but it would be logical to assume she is that elf in the background. -- 02:33, November 18, 2014 (UTC)


 * Good find. I don't know anything about Briala, but from what I know, it's doubtful that'd be anyone else. Thanks for updating the image licenses. -- 04:06, November 18, 2014 (UTC)

Inquistion
INQUISITION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ARE YOU AS EXCITED AS I AM?!?!!??! I DON'T EVEN GET TO PLAY THE GAME FOR TWO MORE DAYS AND THATS IF I HAVE EVERYTHING SORTED BY THEN WHICH I WON'T BUT IM STILL SO EXCITED!!!!!!! - 09:01, November 18, 2014 (UTC)


 * Worst confession ever, but I won't be getting Inquisition for awhile! I'm currently jobless so I can only afford to get one of the three games I want that are all coming out on the same day (GTAV won). Hopefully I'll get it sometime in December, because I definitely want to play it! -- 09:11, November 18, 2014 (UTC)


 * What kind of example is that?!?! Having said that, I won't technically be playing it for a while either. Still need to replace the computer, the desk and play through Origins and II so all my choices are in place.

- 09:13, November 18, 2014 (UTC)


 * I know! Worst admin ever, right? I shall be taking one for the team, though, and braving spoilers so I can help keep the wiki looking spiffy. And I just started a new Mage Origin playthrough since it's been ages since I last played. -- 09:19, November 18, 2014 (UTC)


 * Oh well it is good to know that I can trust the wiki to your oversight while I avoid spoilers until I'm finished with Inquisition.

- 09:23, November 18, 2014 (UTC)

Protect Status
Given people don't seem to be able to stop bickering, you think it would be worth protecting the Krem article? - 00:45, November 19, 2014 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I don't think it's going to stop. It'd be best just to put an unregistered user protect on it for now (like with Maeveris) since that's where we're getting the most problems. -- 01:00, November 19, 2014 (UTC)

Shameless Gloating
I got my Inquisitor's edition!!!!! I'm thinking i'll frame the map and use it as the top of a custom built nightstand. - 04:39, November 20, 2014 (UTC)


 * Oh, nice!! The map was one of the coolest looking parts of that edition. -- 05:35, November 20, 2014 (UTC)


 * Also I just broke 7k edits! I am also counting this as shameless gloating!

- 11:21, December 3, 2014 (UTC)

Vandalism on DA:I page
Hello Kelcat! Looks like HD3 is out (playing Inquisition, perhaps?), so I'll drop this here for you to judge.

I've noticed a vandal on the Dragon Age: Inquisition page. One user also, added a paragraph about the game not featuring a developer console and cheats. I wasn't certain about the relevance of this information, as it was written in seemingly derisive manner. Given the large amount of vandalism, I've chosen to revert everything to Your last revision. (Formal mode off) Saba0th (talk) 12:51, November 20, 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks for letting us know. Looks like Loleil blocked the vandal, and I'll keep an eye on the page. -- 19:52, November 20, 2014 (UTC)


 * Alriht, I'm staring at the Wiki Activity page all the time. If I spot anything serious, I'll be sure to let someone know. Saba0th (talk) 20:19, November 20, 2014 (UTC)


 * It's very much appreciated. We're definitely getting busier! -- 22:37, November 20, 2014 (UTC)

Just a note, I discovered by accident it DOES include a console, enabled by default AND it has a font... I keep accidentally hitting the ` key and opening it, have to hit ` again to close it. Not sure what (if any) commands work since I'm not ready to 'cheat' yet (although, if there was a debug for Morrigan I'd jump on that in a heart beat... see my bugs thing below this here on your page) AbsolutGrndZer0 (talk) 06:01, November 22, 2014 (UTC)


 * Hmm, interesting. I did a quick search, and while I found a few results saying there's definitely a console, there don't seem to be many details as to what commands are available. Hopefully there are some people out there fiddling around with it! -- 06:11, November 22, 2014 (UTC)

Sadly time to create a bugs page for Inquisition?
So, it seems Inquisition now deserves a bugs page... These are the ones I am aware of...

1. If you change the default voice for your Inquisitor, then later in the game when the main story quest when you encounter Hawke you are given the option to use a default or custom Hawke. If you select to customize him/her it will revert your Inquisitor to the default voice. Only way around this is to use a default Hawke. This bug has been reported on all platforms.

2. I myself imported a Human Noble Queen of Ferelden who stabbed Morrigan and the entire playthrough seemed to reflect that, however talking to Morrigan she's talking about the Hero of Ferelden being her lover. I am on the PC, and had a short discussion via Direct Message with Dragon Age Keep on Twitter, they said they are looking into it.

3. One person reported that Hawke's gender is wrong, even though the Keep says it correctly. He says he's on the PS4.

Here are references, if you need them.

Voice/Hawke bug: http://answers.ea.com/t5/Dragon-Age-Inquisition/Male-Inquisitor-voice-changes-after-meeting-Hawke/m-p/4000249#U4000249

Morrigan Bug: http://forum.bioware.com/topic/523024-morrigan-loved-a-woman-and-had-a-child-with-her-apparently/ (This is my thread, so far no response from Bioware, just jokes (though as I said, I did talk to them via Twitter)

Hawke Gender Switch: http://answers.ea.com/t5/Dragon-Age-Inquisition/PS4-Hawke-gender-swapped/m-p/4027310#M9701


 * Heh, I guess it's inevitable. If there are bugs we should definitely get that info onto the wiki. Would you like to create the article? -- 06:11, November 22, 2014 (UTC)

Hmm maybe, though I forget how to make brand new pages which is part of why I mentioned it to you. AbsolutGrndZer0 (talk) 19:43, November 22, 2014 (UTC)


 * It's pretty easy if you want to give it a shot. Click on the "Contribute" dropdown box at the top of the page, and select Add a Page. You can name it Bugs (Inquisition). If you need ideas for formatting, check the other Bugs pages. If you need help or don't feel comfortable making it, let me know. -- 00:25, November 23, 2014 (UTC)

Okay, I'll give it a shot, but first what the plan is for mentioning Hawke and Morrigan's return? Is that considered known, or is it a spoiler? How is that done on bug pages? AbsolutGrndZer0 (talk) 01:10, November 23, 2014 (UTC)


 * Looks like the other bugs pages have quite a few spoilers, so I'd say it's okay to include them. We can always re-examine it later. -- 01:44, November 23, 2014 (UTC)

Note on a future Codex Entry
Hey Kelcat. I know the entry itself hasn't been written yet but when we do write up the codex entry for Plants versus Corpses (Codex:Tales #74) for DA:I which is a shout to the Plants versus Zombies game, we should include a trivia note and this image. The Plants versus Zombies designers were so pleased with the little easter egg in DA:I they made a Plants versus Zombies version of the DA:I cover as a thank you. That definitely warrants a trivia note and the image. I've uploaded it but obviously the codex hasn't been written yet so there's no where to put it and I didn't want to put my foot into the middle of the new codex templates before they're finished. Anyway, just mentioning it and including the image here and so it can be added to the codex entry when we can.



- 03:16, November 25, 2014 (UTC)


 * Aww, that's adorable. I'm still working on the templates, may have to get some help on it, but we can definitely add that in. -- 03:42, November 25, 2014 (UTC)


 * Also, could you put the correct license on the image? I'm not quite sure what it would fall under. -- 21:32, November 26, 2014 (UTC)


 * Done! Also congratulations on reaching ten thousand edits!

- 11:52, November 28, 2014 (UTC)


 * Thank you! Having to categorize so many images certainly upped my numbers  22:35, November 28, 2014 (UTC)

Weird Editing Glich
Hey Kelcat, i've got this weird editing glitch I can't explain.

Everytime i put in a codex conditional paragraph, i get that weird 2 next to it. It isn't present in the source code and I can't figure out why it keeps showing up. Do you have any idea how to solve this? - 12:21, November 25, 2014 (UTC)

Okay, I think I see what might be your problem... it's CodexConditionalSection that you want...

Assuming your intent is to do this?

AbsolutGrndZer0 (talk) 12:38, November 25, 2014 (UTC)


 * Ah well that explains it then. Now I just feel daft. Disregard everyone!

Vandalism
Also Kelcat there was a big vandalism attack. I blocked them and reverted all the damage (I think, feel free to double check) I also protected the Sera article because that was the target of most of the attack. Since you're probably going to be the first one back, I thought I should let you know. - 14:07, November 25, 2014 (UTC)


 * Also reverted a second wave of vandalism. Again, think I got it all but not sure. Stuck protect on for the Loghain, Cole, Dorian and Trouble with Wolves articles temporarily.

- 14:47, November 25, 2014 (UTC)


 * Eep!! Glad you were around, and that we're in different time zones. Sadly, I doubt this will be the last vandalism run, but at least it's not every day. I'm going to change the protection of the pages to registered users only, indefinitely, since the worst seems to be over and the only registered vandals were clearly troll accounts. Great work! -- 17:40, November 25, 2014 (UTC)

Spoiler
Hey you think it would be worthwhile to make a spoiler tag for The Last Court? - 06:47, November 26, 2014 (UTC)


 * Sure if you think it warrants it. -- 19:52, November 26, 2014 (UTC)

Forum out of control
There's someone on this forum [], making some incredibly offensive remarks. Such as referring to transgender individuals as "mentally ill".

-206.190.136.246 (talk) 11:28, November 26, 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks for letting me know, I've dealt with the situation. -- 19:51, November 26, 2014 (UTC)


 * I didn't call transgenders mentally ill. You are mistaken, and the anon is lying. Please do not listen to anons over wiki members. Most anons are nothing but trolls trying to cause conflicts.


 * As for pronouns, the request of using preferred pronouns only applies in cases between wiki members, NOT to fictional characters, and I didn't even do that much. I only asked a question about the character. So again, you are mistaken. Please retract your warning on my talk page. Believe it! (talk) 21:35, November 26, 2014 (UTC)


 * And I quote "Transgenderism is where a person believes to be the opposite sex...this is a mental illness." /end quote

-206.190.136.246 (talk) 23:24, November 26, 2014 (UTC)


 * That's NOT a quote of my post. You edited it with "..." to make it look like I was making a statement. Even your edit does not show a statement about any person or persons. However, this is crystal clear proof that you are trying to slander me in an attempt to get me blocked.


 * Kelcat, I did not make any statement about transgender people. I only posted what the medical community has said on the issue of transgenderism (the concept, not people). You obviously misread my post. I did not say anything about transgender people or even transgenderism. I brought up the point of what the medical professionals classify the concept as. Those are the facts.


 * I request that you block the anon for trying to slander me, which is a clear violation of the rules. I also again request that you retract your warning to me. Believe it! (talk) 00:14, November 27, 2014 (UTC)

I'll address this here so that both of you can see it: I truly do not feel that the unregistered user was trying to slander you, Believe it. They merely pointed out a forum to me that they were offended by, and asked me to investigate it--which I did. I feel that I intepreted your comments correctly and came to the same conclusions that the user did: that your comments were offensive and inappropriate. At no time did this person call you names or personally attack you, nor did they submit false information. I will not just hand out blocks to people who make a good faith effort to report what they believe to be inappropriate behavior, even if they are unregistered users. -- 00:40, November 27, 2014 (UTC)


 * Well he did try to slander me, and you can see it above. He posted something claiming it was a quote from me, but he edited it to have a completely different meaning in an attempt to get me blocked. How is that not slander?


 * As far as insults, the anon in the forum (different from this one on the talk page according to IPs) called me homophobic. When I told him I was not homophobic he then said I was "very in-denial", and then called me homophobic again. Those are direct insults against me. That clearly violates the rules of conduct, but whatever, I can shrug off words. I can ignore insults. And whether you enforce the rules against that anon or not is up to you. However, when people take actions against me that threaten me directly or my civil rights, then I have a very big problem with that.


 * I did not post anything about any person or group of people, I did not even post my opinion on transgenderism as a concept. I referred to the documented position of licensed medical practitioners in order to prove a point related to the topic of the thread, and I will not be harassed with baseless accusations and threats.


 * So I politely ask you one last time to please retract the warning on my talk page. Believe it! (talk) 02:00, November 27, 2014 (UTC)


 * I stand by my comments and will not retract anything. I did not see the unregistered user call you names, but now that you've pointed it out, I will definitely address it, as that's not acceptable either. -- 02:09, November 27, 2014 (UTC)


 * Just to clarify, I am not the same anon who called them homophobic.

Also it is called an elipses. Its very commonly used in quotations for the sake of brevity. I didn't feel it was necessary to include the "According to medical science" since there was nothing actually included to suggest you had any basis for that. Also its probably worth pointing out that the DSM does not consider transgenderism a pathological mental disorder, so it is still inaccurate.

Vandalism 2
I've spotted some vandals (190.200.148.106 and 84.134.170.74), and reverted their edits.

Although, there's something I'm unsure about. Are we supposed to report every single case of vandalism or only the most serious/persistent ones? Saba0th (talk) 17:09, November 27, 2014 (UTC)


 * If it's something really minor like adding a stupid word or two, you don't necessarily need to, though I usually slap a short block on all of them just in case. It's certainly better to be safe than sorry, and it's easy enough for an admin to investigate them. -- 19:47, November 27, 2014 (UTC)

Could you take a look at this? Saba0th (talk) 18:16, November 30, 2014 (UTC)

Oh yeah that guy keeps remaking the same vandalisms after someone reverts them. :( AbsolutGrndZer0 (talk) 18:33, November 30, 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up! Taken care of. -- 19:46, November 30, 2014 (UTC)

Another one? Saba0th (talk) 00:13, December 1, 2014 (UTC)


 * Got it! (Actually HD3 got it 'cause he's awesome like that) -- 00:28, December 1, 2014 (UTC)


 * Hey, you're all awesome. Now, back to the shadows! Gonna stalk for any vandals that show up. Saba0th (talk) 03:05, December 1, 2014 (UTC)

Yet another one: 190.185.103.17. This one too: 180.191.64.208 (that forum thread was over 3 tears old, but still). And, as a side note, I noticed that our wiki is going up in ranks on the Wikia Activity Monitor. I hope we can hit the top for the first time. --Saba0th (talk) 14:13, December 3, 2014 (UTC)


 * Sorted. Also top ten in wiki activity!

 * Wow, we're beating the Marvel wiki! -- 23:34, December 3, 2014 (UTC)

DA"I dialogue
Not sure where your getting your dialogue text from but here are some videos of party banter if you need them.

https://www.youtube.com/user/jellobell/videos I find Dorian's comments on the orb to be particularly interesting please reply to my talk page if this was helpful. --FossilLord 15:59, November 28, 2014 (UTC)

References for story necessary?
I noticed that in a recent edit to Dagna(which he seems to think is minor but was pretty extensive) Sapphirewind gave some really good extended story information, but he thought it was necessary to link to a YouTube video that shows it in the game. Is this level of referencing necessary as a new policy, or is he just being overly thorough? AbsolutGrndZer0 (talk) 10:25, December 2, 2014 (UTC)


 * No, I think that once the game is out, there's no need to provide a reference for info that can be readily found in the game. 10:46, December 2, 2014 (UTC)

Icon Images
Hey Kelcat, do you know how one creates an icon image to use on conflict pages and tables and iconmini links etc. I just realized we need an icon image version of the Inquisition crest, the Red Templars and the Venatori.

- 03:06, December 6, 2014 (UTC)


 * Honestly, I have no idea how to create icons. I usually just cadge the ones already uploaded to the wiki. -- 03:14, December 6, 2014 (UTC)

Bored vandal
So this guy must've been really bored on this page, putting up nonsense on the page twice so far. Thought I'd let you know. -- 19:49, December 6, 2014 (UTC)


 * He's got good taste in music Taken care of, thanks for letting me know. -- 20:44, December 6, 2014 (UTC)

At least he had the courtesy to mark it as Vandalism in his edit notes. That should at least earn him some points, right? AbsolutGrndZer0 (talk) 03:59, December 7, 2014 (UTC)


 * Haha, absolutely! -- 04:39, December 7, 2014 (UTC)

Possible Problem
Uh not genuinely sure this warrants an admin's intervention but is talking about assaulting members of the dev team ban worthy ? I don't know how you handle threats here.

-146.185.28.61 (talk) 03:33, December 7, 2014 (UTC)


 * Personal attacks and threats against anyone is absolutely a violation of our Code of Conduct. Is there an issue going on somewhere? -- 03:38, December 7, 2014 (UTC)


 * On the latest news blog this one user is going on some weird rants and talking about punching members of Bioware's staff.

-146.185.28.61 (talk) 03:42, December 7, 2014 (UTC)


 * Okay, just saw it. Thanks for bringing it to our attention. -- 03:47, December 7, 2014 (UTC)

Hello
Can I talk to you in chat? JuliaIsSad2 (talk) 00:51, December 8, 2014 (UTC)


 * I don't actually use the chat, for various reasons. You can leave a message here, or you can [mailto:kelcatsmail@gmail.com email me] if you prefer. -- 00:57, December 8, 2014 (UTC)

I insist you join the chat. I don't feel like emailing you and what I have to say is not for public display. JuliaIsSad2 (talk) 00:59, December 8, 2014 (UTC)


 * Sorry, it doesn't work like that. -- 01:03, December 8, 2014 (UTC)

What you're asking is illogical. Why should I have to email you? This wiki has a perfectly functional chat system where disputes like these can be sorted out. Just get in the chat, princess. JuliaIsSad2 (talk) 01:05, December 8, 2014 (UTC)


 * I don't take kindly to harrassment, and seeing as how your history on this wiki has so far consisted of harrassing me, harrassing another user, and edit warring, I'm not inclined to have an unrecorded conversation. I'll ask you once to change your behavior, after that you will be blocked. -- 01:08, December 8, 2014 (UTC)

Ahahaha. Bitch, you have no idea who you're dealing with. Block me and you'll find out, though. JuliaIsSad2 (talk) 01:11, December 8, 2014 (UTC)

What Year
Hey what year does inquisition's story start in? - 03:53, December 8, 2014 (UTC)


 * It starts in 9:40 04:14, December 8, 2014 (UTC)

Dragon Age CCA
Hi Kelcat,

I was hoping to ask a favor from you in regards to the Community Choice Awards that we will be doing for Dragon Age Inquisition. We are looking for 6 categories for community members to vote on. Since I have yet to play the game, I was hoping you would be able to suggest some categories that would be appropriate/relevant.

For an example/clarification, click here.

Thanks for any advice and help,

 * Sure! I haven't finished the game yet, but I can provide a few ideas.


 * Best companions
 * Best romances
 * Best/Most beautiful world environment
 * Best story
 * Best lore/history


 * Hope that helps! -- 00:37, December 9, 2014 (UTC)

Corypheus Article
Hey someone's apparently been leaving unmarked spoilers all over the Corypheus article and has also DRAMATICALLY gone over the quote limit while ignoring all guidelines about quote notability and redundancy. Could you possibly give it a fix up and a trim? I would do it myself but now im terrified of spoiling inquisition for myself if I look at it. - 01:10, December 9, 2014 (UTC)


 * Sure thing. I think I'm far enough into the game that it won't spoil me. -- 01:16, December 9, 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks Kelcat.

Stalker/Vandal
Help, Kelcat, the stalker (or their accomplice, that's possible too) is back, creating dummy accounts and pages on the Wiki! EDIT: The vandal, has been dealt with, for the moment at least. Marge called for one of the VSTF guys, Dragon Rainbow. Saba0th (talk) 18:51, December 10, 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks for letting me know, glad they were able to take care of it! -- 19:40, December 10, 2014 (UTC)


 * They're back already! Help! EDIT: Looks like the VSTF have taken care of it already. --Saba0th (talk) 20:45, December 10, 2014 (UTC)

DAI date
The DAI codex entry, Codex entry: Divine Justinia V (Inquisition), where 9:40 Dragon is said to be the date of the conclave may be a typo (in the game, not the wikia). Codex entry: The Conclave is a letter written by Justinia V seemingly prior to the conclave, but is dated 9:41. It may be possible the conclave was called in 9:40 but not actually held until 9:41 (allows for travel time during a war?). Dragon Age: Last Flight also apparently takes place in 9:41 and its summary says the Mage-Templar War is ongoing at the time. I think there may be other DAI codex entries that use 9:41, but I may be mistaken.184.57.236.69 (talk) 20:34, December 12, 2014 (UTC)

There's also a War Table mission called Judgment: Duchess in a Box Tour 9:41 that you get after Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts. Of tangential interest is another War Table mission, The Arl of Redcliffe, available after In Your Heart Shall Burn. Can't remember the exact text, but the result says that the Inquisition can take all they want from a mine until the holiday of Wintersend. Taken together, the events of DAI may span the initial months of 9:41.184.57.236.69 (talk) 21:46, December 12, 2014 (UTC)


 * I suppose it would be too much to ask for BioWare to create anything Dragon Age without at least one date error . I looked at the Conclave codex entry and you're right. Looks like a lot of other codex entries have the date 9:41, as well. I'll make a note on Justinia's codex entry about the discrepency. -- 21:54, December 12, 2014 (UTC)

Codex: Tutorials (Inquisition), adding the different consoles' controls
Hey Kelcat, I started to add the PC controls to codex entries, but before I continue, can you confirm that this is the way it should look like? http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Codex_entry:_World_Travel

I have seen somewhere that people also added icons.. (not very used to writing the conditional sections yet) <- Kewpies (talk) 16:15, December 13, 2014 (UTC)


 * Yep, that looks exactly right. -- 20:31, December 13, 2014 (UTC)

Schematics page
Hey, I'm not sure how to go around starting to update the Schematics page, and it sure needs some updating since it's awfully empty. I raised my issue with how to start updating it on the talk page, and I'd welcome any opinion on the matter! -- 08:22, December 17, 2014 (UTC)


 * Sure, I'll take a look. Not sure how much I can add, but I'll give it a go :) -- 22:57, December 17, 2014 (UTC)

New Category
Hey do you think it is worthwhile creating a new category for Dragon Age: Inquisition multiplayer locations? - 12:49, December 17, 2014 (UTC)


 * I'm addicted to categories, so I say go for it. -- 22:57, December 17, 2014 (UTC)

Otranto
I think that edit may actually have been in good faith and they just did not about the stub tag. - 05:10, December 20, 2014 (UTC)


 * Oh, really? It didn't sound familiar to me at all--is it a person or place or something? -- 06:45, December 20, 2014 (UTC)


 * nvm, just saw the article you made. I must have overlooked that guy. I'll unblock the user, as it's clear it wasn't vandalism. Thanks for pointing it out! -- 06:50, December 20, 2014 (UTC)

Vulgar Vandalism on Logging Stand page
I found very vulgar vandalism on the Logging stand page by http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/68.97.62.89 I have corrected it (had to load and republish an older edit, since he'd done multiple edits to do his vandalism), but I thought I should give you a heads up to ban the IP or such admin things. AbsolutGrndZer0 (talk) 00:31, December 24, 2014 (UTC)


 * Got it, thanks for cleaning it up! 00:35, December 24, 2014 (UTC)

Conflict spoilers
Sorry to bother you a second time. To what degree are articles about conflicts exempt from rules about displaying spoilers? The conflict articles I read, such as Mage-Templar War and Fifth Blight, lack any spoiler tags whatsoever. When I made the article war against Corypheus, I followed their example. Today however, some users have brought up on the talk page that having "Corypheus" in the article title is a spoiler. While this may be true, if the content of an article about a conflict is exempt from needing to protect users from spoilers, isn't the title of that article also exempt? Or did I presume too much when I came up with that title?184.57.236.69 (talk) 20:22, December 24, 2014 (UTC)


 * The conflict articles themselves have traditionally been exempt from using spoiler tags, however I don't believe we have a concrete policy regarding whether that extends to article titles. I'll take a look at the discussion when I can and see if I can add any input. -- 23:36, December 24, 2014 (UTC)


 * Thank you. I will abide by your decision.184.57.236.69 (talk) 00:01, December 25, 2014 (UTC)

This guy spammed some pages, already banned him from the chat but needs to get banned on the wiki too before spamming more. Returning troll so if you have any way to ban him by his IP that could potentially help with him not coming back too soon. If you can't that's okay, just mentioning just in case :P -- 18:37, December 26, 2014 (UTC)
