Double redirects in blogs
Hey KC! You have moved some blog posts which left some unwanted double redicts behind. As I do not have enough permission to do it myself, could you fix them? Thanks! 02:39, September 2, 2013 (UTC)
 * No problem. Thanks Viktoria. 17:21, September 2, 2013 (UTC)

Hey King Cousland, as you no doubt noticed, we're getting a lot more hostile comments from unregistered users lately. Loleil and I would like to try to reverse this toxic trend by being stricter with anonymous users while continuing to be lenient with the registered ones. I put together a notice which detail the points above.

Moving forward, please exercise less caution when dealing with unregistered users. I'd like to hear your feedback, so let me know what you think. -- 20:47, October 9, 2013 (UTC)

3rd fraction
I and Victoria Landers discussed about GW's involvement in Darkspawn Civil War. We all know they are not allies of the Architect unless player decide to buy what he was selling in the very end of the conflict.

We both think conflicts like Darkspawn Civil War should have collum for the 3rd party, but that's impossible with current edition system. So we ask you for an update to make 3rd collums of the 3rd fraction in conflict infoboxes. This conflict is the only one we know with 3 fractions, Victoria thinks mage-templar war is also such kind of conflict, but not me, however Darkspawn Civil War is an unusual conflict.78.8.132.93 (talk) 12:27, October 18, 2013 (UTC)StubbornMageSlayer

Benevolent Spirit category
Demons are also spirits, but corrupted, so I think non-demons like Faith should have category Benevolent Spirit instead of simply Spirit.FirstDrellSpectre (talk) 18:14, February 4, 2014 (UTC)
 * While I can certainly see your logic in this, I think it might be an overcomplication to split this particular category up in this way. If you feel strongly about it however, I'd encourage you to start a discussion on the category's talk page. 18:55, February 4, 2014 (UTC)

Strange expression error
Hello,

There is an intermittent problem with the approval template, I think. It is showing up mainly on the Morrigan/Approval page. The text that should show the approval change for various dialogue options shows as, for example, "Expression error: Unrecognised punctuation character "{"." -Sophia (talk) 15:16, February 5, 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi, thanks for alerting me to this. The problem should be solved now, but if it persists for you clearing your cache may help. 15:43, February 5, 2014 (UTC)

Seemed newsworthy to me but I'm not sure if you want a new news story every time a dev makes a post, so I figured I would just pass it along and defer to your judgment.--Wsowen02 (talk) 02:15, February 9, 2014 (UTC)

Dragon Age Keep question
I got a question regarding Dragon Age Keep that I am hoping you will be able to ask. Is it possible for normal players from the 360/PS3/PC to import saves WITHOUT the use of the Keep or are we forced to? --Supergodzilla118 18:04, March 27, 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi there. At this time, the only way to import saves into Inquisition is by using the Keep. 18:07, March 27, 2014 (UTC)

Please help!
Hello! I was just wondering if it is acceptable to make a page about the voice over actors, such as Steve Valentine who is the voice of Alistair. I think it should be okay, but I wasn't sure if it is. Some people (such as myself) have enough curiosity to kill ten cats and I had to find him myself on Wikipedia. I think it would be easier if he could just have a page on here. Not just him of course, but all the main characters like Jo Wyatt and so on. Thanks! --Zurie Acadia (talk) 01:47, April 8, 2014 (UTC)

Semi protection request
Hey KC! I'd like to request semi-protection on Gilmore page. The page is unlikely to receive any substantial additions considering that the character probably died in Origins while on the other hand the page is still susceptible to receive incorrect information from anons (because of Ser Gilmore's third party mod). Thanks in advance! 05:31, April 8, 2014 (UTC)
 * This seems like a good idea. Thanks Vikki! 17:48, April 8, 2014 (UTC)

Possible Topic turning Ugly
I want to bring to your attention that the recent blood "Cassandra and Cullen confirmed as Love Interests" is about to turn ugly regarding the subject of player sexuality. Some defend it while others are against. I am neutral on the subject as I wish romance to be well developed and not rushed or forced. LI's being bi need to make sense as well and not just thrown in there. I don't mind them being bi, just not all of them.

I just thought I bring this to your attention. I know its just a few comments but I know how easily fights, especially on the internet, can turn ugly real fast. Supergodzilla118 (talk) Supergodzilla118 21:19, April 12, 2014 (UTC)

Pages for Deletion and Mergers
Hello! It looks like an agreement has been reached to delete the individual articles for obstacles during the main fade quest in Origins and merge the information into the main quest walkthrough. That's written up so we just need an admin to delete the left over pages. In order they are:


 * Fade Portal
 * Fire Barrier
 * Massive Door
 * Spirit Door

Also while we're on the subject of mergers, Symbol has been proposed for merger into Heraldry but the discussion doesn't seem to have been started or has been passed over by everyone.

There's a few other articles deletion has been agreed on for that need to be deleted also: Solace
 * Wanka
 * Profane abomination
 * Jar of Bees

There's also about a dozen unneeded re-directs which need to be deleted.


 * Caged In Stone
 * Anders (Companion)
 * Hafter (Dog)
 * Taliesin

If you could take care of those and delete them, it would be very much appreciated. Thank you. - 13:22, April 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * All gone. Thank you! 13:33, April 22, 2014 (UTC)


 * Oh sorry I meant to tag Mouse Hole for merging for the same reason but I forgot to tag it.-HD3_Sig.png 13:36, April 22, 2014 (UTC)


 * No problem, consider it gone. 13:45, April 22, 2014 (UTC)


 * Thank you and thank you for responding so promptly.-HD3_Sig.png 13:48, April 22, 2014 (UTC)


 * Ok this is the last time I'll do this to you I swear, but i went through the candidates for deletion and there are actually several more pages where deletion has been agreed on and just not implimented.


 * Companions
 * Companions (Dragon Age) (I can't get this one to link but it's there under the Candidates for Deletion category tag. It's a template page.
 * Dragon Age: The Calling characters
 * Dragon Age: The Calling creatures
 * Loot locations
 * Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening (comic) (merging) with Dragon Age (Penny Arcade comic) See talk page for details.

I think that's everything this time.- 14:01, April 22, 2014 (UTC)


 * Done and done. Thanks for all your help (p.s., I think you meant to tag Template:Companions instead of Companions, so I went ahead and deleted the former instead of the page linked above). 14:19, April 22, 2014 (UTC)

No, no, thank you for deleting and merging them all. Some of those things had sat there for ages without anyone remembering to go back and finish them. Now it's all nice and cleaned up. Also I know I said last time was the last time, but i realized Casteless dwarves was meant to be moved to just Casteless like it's labeled in the Dwarves link table. Also Skill ID codes was up for a merge with Ability ID codes (Origins) I swear to the maker that's the last one.- 14:23, April 22, 2014 (UTC)


 * Done. 14:50, April 22, 2014 (UTC)

Page rename
Hey! Can you please rename Archon Thalsian to Thalsian? I can't do it because the destination page already exists. Cheers! 16:18, April 23, 2014 (UTC)

Death threat on your blog

Blockade of DAI
I'd ask you to consider blocking edition of DAI, in their edits, some claim that Cullen is a companion or that Asunder character is Cole and that's a companion. Too many unknowns. We don't know many things and editors put their speculations not confirmed informations and they'll do it again. So I ask you to consider blocking the page of the upcoming game, so only the administators with access to reliable sources of informations could edit the page.FirstDrellSpectre (talk) 19:53, April 23, 2014 (UTC)


 * I don't think the page warrants a lock in its current state. While there are a few instances of misinformation being added (which is to be expected), such edits are more often than not reverted very quickly. Given that new information is quickly emerging about the game, I'd be hesitant about making registered users or admins the only ones with the power to add this information. Thank you for your concern, however. 20:06, April 23, 2014 (UTC)

Quote Guidelines
Hey I left a message regarding the proposed quote guidelines. - 08:44, April 24, 2014 (UTC)

I just wanted to double check we're in agreement about the header being included in the number quotes on an article before I write up the final wording for the proposed guidelines? - 13:16, April 25, 2014 (UTC)


 * Yes, we certainly are  13:18, April 25, 2014 (UTC)


 * Ok! I will start writing up the final wording for the actual guidelines themselves with the header counting as one of a page's quotes then. I'll put the final draft up for public comments once we've hammered out the rest on the discussion thread.-HD3_Sig.png 13:24, April 25, 2014 (UTC)

Could you do me a favor?
I made a comment while braindead. Could you please delete it for me? Not a big deal, but it feels bad that I was stupid to not pay attention and I can't even get rid of it. Thanks in advance! -- 12:39, April 24, 2014 (UTC)


 * Of course, consider it done. 12:44, April 24, 2014 (UTC)

Grey Wardens
Drell has started a nice little edit war over on the Grey Wardens article. Since there is a certain degree of ambiguity regarding the so called "Grey Wardens" in the trailer, i thought it might be safer to remove the appearance listing just for the moment. True to form however, Drell has started an edit war instead of using the talk page. Not sure if it's worth locking it or not but i figured it should be mentioned if only to stop the back and forth.- 15:08, April 24, 2014 (UTC)
 * We saw a fortress of GW and the uniforms of GW. When we saw Cassandra and Varric we didn't think "They are impostors of Varric and Cassandra". When we see something in trailer, we don't consider if it's fake. In article was written "people wearing armors of GW" and is that enough to speculate they are impostors? Just because of few words? Should I think Cassandra is possessed by a demon, when threated the Inquisitor? So many speculate that on picture Inquisition members.png the elf with bow is Sera and that one in the left is Cullen and that the one in the right is a grey warden and that the one with daggers is Cole. They all speculate. It's hard to have 1st thought about someone in an uniform that it's an impostor.FirstDrellSpectre (talk) 15:20, April 24, 2014 (UTC)


 * I agree with Drell on this occasion, but I'd strongly encourage one of you to start a discussion about it on the talk page before making any more edits. The appearance also needs a reference, in any case. 17:12, April 24, 2014 (UTC)

Correcting symbols
On talk page of the Inquisition is discussion about spliting the page on 2. I suggested to put proper ticks. I'd like to ask if I can put the proper ticks instead of the ones, who voted to spare time?FirstDrellSpectre (talk) 17:13, April 24, 2014 (UTC)


 * Generally we shouldn't edit other users' posts, but I don't see a huge problem in this case, so long as you do it carefully and accurately. 17:16, April 24, 2014 (UTC)

Lord Seeker Lambert Image
Hey thanks for uploading the hi-res image, it looks nice and sharp. I'm just happy we finally got an image of Lambert without the text in the way. Looks much nicer.- 03:19, April 25, 2014 (UTC)


 * No problem at all. 12:44, April 25, 2014 (UTC)

Image names
Hey! Is there a way to rename images uploaded to the wiki? There are a few that have been uploaded lately with just a random assortment of letters and numbers as the file name and it would be nice to rename them to something more identifiable.

Bad feelings
Please check on blog BioWare updates the Dragon Age website - interactive map of Thedas + confirmed specializations if 122.54.218.77 and VampireBlood03 aren't going to cross the line, because calling me illogical is an insult and the anon targets me from long.

I'd also like to report that on Ezzyd's page appeared a death threat written by VampireBlood03 http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:EzzyD?diff=572137&oldid=531442 FirstDrellSpectre (talk) 04:28, April 25, 2014 (UTC)


 * Thank you for alerting me to the death threat, but the first comment certainly doesn't warrant action. Disputes such as these should be resolved between users without admin intervention. 13:03, April 25, 2014 (UTC)

Drell is now reporting on duty.122.54.218.77 (talk) 04:30, April 25, 2014 (UTC)

It's true, I confess!!!! I throw myself on your abundant mercy and confess my crimes! I think Drell is treated the way he is because he's insulted and been rude to so many people in the past and present and that all of his opinions don't make a great deal of sense because the logic underneath them is far from sound! I think EzzyD saying personal attacks on the staff at Bioware is justified is kind of mean and unnecessary!! I even put it in my own profile page, "I'M THE BIGGEST ASSHOLE YOU'LL FIND"!!! I'M A MONSTER!!!!!!!!

P.S If you check the log, ya'll see I didn't actually write the death threat on Ezzy's page so much as laugh because he supported death threats against people he disagrees with in the past. Good to know Drell will go fishing for evidence to try and get people who disagree with him banned though.

Account hacked
On three of the forums on this wiki my account is 'shown' to wrote some comments on while I had no knownlegde of it. When I check each of the comments while offense per say, just the idea someone were on my account makes me a little worry.

Hello KC! big fan as you know ive been trying to help more but i am still learning how can i change that little problem you asked i should probly just let you pros handle all of this haha

Drell Spectre and the talk page
Could you please speak to Drell about exactly how the talk page is intended to be used. They keep starting a discussion topic proposing a major change and then just making the change regardless of the content and consensus of the discussion. Hell the latest incident of this, Drell didn't even wait for anyone else to comment and just made the change immediately. I've discussed the problems this can cause with them several times but they're obviously not listening. Maybe it'll mean more coming from you. - 02:12, April 26, 2014 (UTC)
 * I made a forum topic about that and I counted votes, most were for yes. 3 days passes since I put that forum topi and you call that non-waiting. I waited 3 days with most votes for yes.FirstDrellSpectre (talk) 06:15, April 26, 2014 (UTC)


 * I believe the standard is generally a week, so yes I consider that "non-waiting". You also understand it's not a 51% election system right? What you're proposing is a massive change which would affect more than a hundred different articles. Not to mention the problem that, as was discussed it would look pretty stupid if it was doled out in installments rather than the comments for every article uploaded at once. Then there's the myriad of associated issues you didn't even bother to discuss: How many party comments per page? Should one be included in the header? Are these comments sufficiently noteworthy to be worth putting on the page? Also, to be blunt, I have certain reservations that if it were implemented, the project would ever come even close to completion.-HD3_Sig.png 06:29, April 26, 2014 (UTC)


 * I was also referring to the change you proposed to the Second Qunari Invasion of Kirkwall. You put a change up for discussion, then immediately went and did it anyway, without waiting for a single person to reply to the topic first. That's not reaching a consensus that's just you pushing changes through and pretending you put it up for discussion. Hell it was a good idea, I was going to vote for it but you just did it anyway. I don't know why you even bothered to put it up for discussion in the first place. Neither of these cases is the first instance of you acting like this either.-HD3_Sig.png 06:38, April 26, 2014 (UTC)
 * I commented that it was for taking attention of everyone, because nobody responded on my suggestion. I waited but nobody show any sign of interest in this. After so many edits of other things, I suggestion was fading on page of wiki activity, I needed something spectacular to get everyone interested. You need to do something more, when nobody listens to you. You even didn't read a comment why I did it.FirstDrellSpectre (talk) 06:49, April 26, 2014 (UTC)


 * Hang on a second, you waited a grand total of 3 hours after posting your proposal before you made the change. That is not nearly enough time to make the claim that there wasn't any interest. I'm pretty sure making an edit comment stating you're doing it to get people to "pay attention" isn't a replacement for following established wiki guidelines. This should be a community where we all work together, not one person doing as they please. --Kelcat (talk) 07:01, April 26, 2014 (UTC)


 * I read it actually and I agreed with it, that's why I was going to vote in favour of it. Also you can't say nobody showed any interest, two users included myself noticed. Things don't work instantly around here Drell, people have lives. Two users responded to your topic in less than 12 hours. Also as for "nobody listening to me", quite frankly I resent your attempt to assassinate my character in public. I've tried to discuss these issues with you personally multiple times but you just ignore me, so I don't know what you expect to happen. -HD3_Sig.png 07:03, April 26, 2014 (UTC)
 * Then next time I'll be more patient.FirstDrellSpectre (talk) 07:09, April 26, 2014 (UTC)

It seems you've worked this out among yourselves, but HD3 and Kelcat are correct here - changes should not be implemented without discussion and you should wait at least 7 days after a vote to implement changes. 14:30, April 26, 2014 (UTC)

Hey did Wikia say they fixed the issue with images not displaying properly? I'm still seeing zoomed in thumb nails and pixelated images. - 15:22, April 27, 2014 (UTC)


 * I contacted Wikia staff about this a few days ago. The root cause of the issue has been fixed and images have begun to correct themselves, but it'll take some time before they all return to normal. 15:37, April 27, 2014 (UTC)

Image deletion
Hi! Could I ask you a favor and please delete ? It is fanart that can be seen here on deviantart. The artist has had several problems with theft and as a result does not want her artwork to appear anywhere without her permission. I think it best we honor that, especially since it can't actually be used on any of the articles (it's copyrighted and therefore not free use). Thank you! --Kelcat (talk) 19:30, April 27, 2014 (UTC)
