DA:R
Hey Henio0! Nice work on DA:R pages, I could never stand watching the series twice :P

However there is a problem with the titles of the episode pages, if you noticed. The parenthesis does not include anything and so on. Even if I am not sure what's the underlying problem, I would suggest renaming the pages to Tallis (episode), for example as this might work. Cheers! 00:52, February 19, 2013 (UTC)


 * Ah, you know, crappy job, but someone's got to do it. :P


 * And thanks for the suggestion, I will do something about it tommorow (as it's 2:00 am right now where I live :D ) because if I do end up changing the name, I'll have to go back and change the links in all theother pages that link there too :) Henio0 (talk) 02:01, February 19, 2013 (UTC)


 * You don't need to. You see, when you rename a page, you automatically leave a redirect from the previous page. So if someone goes to Tallis (Dragon Age: Redemption episode) he would be automatically redirected to Tallis (episode). 12:50, February 19, 2013 (UTC)
 * Alright, then. Henio0 (talk) 13:44, February 19, 2013 (UTC)


 * As you can see here: Tallis (episode), it still happens. Any ideas for how to fix it now? :P Henio0 (talk) 13:59, February 19, 2013 (UTC)

I suggest to put all summaries of every episode of DA:R on page of DA:R. Summaries of every chapter of DA:TSG and DA:TWS are all on single pages, so I think DA:R should be organised the same.78.8.102.254 (talk) 13:32, February 19, 2013 (UTC) Just call me Dalish fan
 * There is too much information on each episode to cram them all into one article. Henio0 (talk) 13:44, February 19, 2013 (UTC)

That's... weird. I'd suggest contacting Loleil or another wiki admin then. 17:02, February 19, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi @Henio0, I'm sorry it took so long to respond to your request. Generally speaking, I am resistant to feature creep. And if it is possible to reuse a field I would rather you do so. In this case, it is worth thinking about whether it makes more sense to repurposes the "Voice" field as an "Actor" field. The rationale behind this is of course so that when the InfoBox is ever used to transform into columns in the future, the data is already present. Give this some thought. Let me know. -- 23:25, February 27, 2013 (UTC)
 * Yeah, alright. If it'd be a problem, it's better not to do it for a simple gimmick. I guess just stating actor or actress' name in the description of the character would suffice. :) Thanks for the reply on this matter. Henio0 (talk) 23:55, February 27, 2013 (UTC)

Untitled discussion
Hello,

Why remove the point about rumors of Morrigan being killed by Flementh in a Origins epilogue and that there is no such epilogue?

I know the point has not only been there for some time and I strongly suspect it was added by someone who looked into it.

As the epilogues section is there for people to accurately see what the possible epilogues are it makes sense to see it.

If you don't think mentioning belongs under one of the characters it was associated with then I suggest you move the comment to a new subsection titled epilogue rumors (or something similar) rather than just removing it.

As someone who played Dragon Age Origins-and willingly shared what I saw with my characters-I can attest to how irritating it can be as well as a waste of time when inaccurate info is spread relating to either quests or epilogues. So I would argue mentioning rumors as well as if they are true or not can be a service to players.

And if the rumor regarding Flementh and Morrigan was actually true then please just mention it alongside the other possible epilogues. If it is true and a supposed but inaccurate correction was there for so long then it would be additionally helpful if you provided a link showing to something showing the rumor was actually true.

 * You answered your own question in the first sentence. Henio0 (talk) 19:57, March 12, 2013 (UTC)
 * I believe there is no place on the wiki to shut down all the rumours. Better way is to list all the possibilities and say that there are no others rather than state that this rumour and that rumour are not true. Henio0 (talk) 20:00, March 12, 2013 (UTC)

You said you prefer listing the possibilities and then saying there are no others but at no point does the epilogue page say there are no other epilogues. It does list possibilities but nowhere does it state these are the only possibilities.

I can see why such a statement could be potentially problematic-if there is long unseen epilogue for DA:Origins then it is even helpful for it to be mentioned so players know about it but it would also prove such a "no others" statement wrong.

If someone comes across the old rumor about Morrigan & Flementh, mistakenly thinks it is true, and adds it to the epilogue would you remove it?

One of the great things about a wikia is that people are continually adding to it and making it better. But a potential problem is there if someone adds something that is wrong and it stands it can confuse players.

It is be a bit much to expect any single person (or small group) to remove all inaccuracies from the wikia.

But it may be useful to have a rumors page or section (not necessarily in the epilogue page) so that if someone looked into a rumor and found it wasn't true then they can state as much and save someone else the time of having to do the same thing later in addition to saving other players the frustration of trying to get an epilogue that isn't there.

I'm not the person that looked into the Flementh & Morrigan rumor, but I do appreciate that someone did because I have been frustrated in the past trying to attain an epilogue or quest ending that didn't exist.

It is unusual but occasionally I have seen such inaccuracies get added to this wikia.

Hey!
Hey Henio0, I hope you didn't forget this :-) 17:29, March 15, 2013 (UTC)
 * Oh, hi.
 * first of all, sorry for late reply. I've been working night shift the last few days and had little to no time online.
 * I will do the required changes now, thanks for reminidng me! :) Henio0 (talk) 18:30, March 19, 2013 (UTC)

Welp...
I removed from every dwarven character page the "noble" category only to have you re-added it back? When a dwarf is part of the Noble caste, I think it's pretty obvious that he/she is a noble too. Noble caste category is also a sub-category of Nobles so I had it pretty much covered. Anyway, sorry for that I am just thinking the pile of work which was just added for no apparent reason. 02:21, March 20, 2013 (UTC)


 * Right, sorry. I was not aware that the dwarves were previously in the nobles category. I just assumed no one has added them yet. I just did it as I created seperate subcategories for nobles in different nations, and then just added the dwarves. I thought it'd be like the Magisters, both as nobles and magisters.


 * Anyway, thank you for fixing that. Henio0 (talk) 12:58, March 20, 2013 (UTC)


 * Since every noble character now belongs to a sub-category, I suggest to not use the nobles category but instead use only the category since it would be reduntant to add two almost identical categories to a page. As for the dwarves, don't worry, as it seems it was an easy task by making use of my rollback powers. 16:54, March 20, 2013 (UTC)


 * Oh, you phrased it in a way I thought you ended the discussion with the decision of not using the category. I myself thought the category would work like the category:characters, which then has subcategories for each of the games, and other media. I added the new categories for national nobles as I thought the orignal one was too broad, what with having someone like Baron Arlange and Bann Teagan together only because they are both noble :). I am not very wiki-savvy yet, so I don't know if it's bad to have both main Nobles and its subcategoried. If you believe so, we should delete the main nobles category. However, in the case of which, I don't know where Lady Elegant fits, as it's never mentioned who her noble husband is. Henio0 (talk) 16:48, March 22, 2013 (UTC)


 * Well, I didn't want to "revert" something you did, that's why I wanted to ask you first if that's okay :-) The category about "characters" and also "locations" should not be indeed used in most cases, and it's in my "to do list" to amend this. It's just that it's currently used for consistency reasons, however with the help of a bot, this can easily stop. That'd be all, thanks for your help and don't forget to stop by my talk page! ;-) 18:42, March 22, 2013 (UTC)

Hey Henio0, both Bartrand and Varric have clear descency from Orzammar, Bartrand was even born there. We traditionally consider characters to be of a specific place if their parents come from it or their family was for generations settled there. In further support of my argument, there is no precedent that a surface dwarf in DAO has the "Fereldan" category. Subsequently, I'd like to hear your opinion about this. 23:26, March 26, 2013 (UTC)
 * Hey. I considered both Varric and Bartrand to be Kirkwallers. After all, they live there for several years, and are clearly never returning to Orzammar. Thedas doesn't work like our world what with citizenships and so on, but I think you can tell when someone considers themselves to be from the part of the world they live in. I think that if someone makes the new country their home, we can add the double nationality. For example, even though Tallis was born a Tevinter, she is a Qunari considering the Qunari lands her home; Hawke was born in Ferelden, but it is in the Free Marches where their role is more defining and it is where they reside. Also, Riordan is a Ferelden-born Orlesian because even though he was born in Ferelden, he spent the prime of his life in Orlais. :)
 * At any rate, if that is not the policy of the wiki, I guess I am in the wrong, then. Henio0 (talk) 00:14, March 27, 2013 (UTC)


 * Makes sense. But where do you base that Varric or Bartrand think of themselves as Free Marchers? Living there, is in my opinion not substantial information in order to answer this question. 00:38, March 27, 2013 (UTC)


 * My previous responce was a question in case you didn't notice! (so I expect a reply) Also since you're a PS wizard, perhaps we could speak in the chat about how the wiki could make use of your skills? :P 18:35, March 28, 2013 (UTC)
 * Oh, yes. I was going to reply before leaving for work yesterday, but I didn't have the time. And when I did have it, I just forgot to do it. Anyway, it's not like anyone is going to come out and say "hey, I am a dwarf but right now I am Fereldan." The categories I added based on an educated guess, nothing more. There is no evidence other than personal thoughts. As per the Photoshop stuff, I'll make time tomorrow after work, as I am about to leave for work right now. :) Henio0 (talk) 19:36, March 28, 2013 (UTC)

IRC
Hey Henio0, can you join me in DA wiki's IRC when you're available? I'd like to talk to you about an image that the wiki will need. 23:24, March 31, 2013 (UTC)


 * Of course. You mean the chat, yes? I am free tonight, as the store I work at is closed for Easter. Back at work tomorrow, though, and I am not sure when will I be available then :) Henio0 (talk) 00:06, April 1, 2013 (UTC)


 * Check the info in this page, about how to join the IRC. There is no rush about it, as I need your help about Project Aeducan II, which will be released in this summer ;-) 07:40, April 1, 2013 (UTC)


 * I'll be in the IRC for the next 3 hours. I have also added the to the Character template and added it in all the redemption character pages.  18:12, April 2, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi. I'm teribly sorry, but I've just been unable to come on-line lately, not for long, anyway. I've been hitting several 12 hour shifts whilst on holiday to get the extra dough. Anyway, I will do the IRC business when I get the chance, maybe next week or so. As per the actor thing, thanks a lot. I guess it didn't mess up them tables after all. And thank you for adding the actors' names yourself. :) Henio0 (talk) 07:43, April 3, 2013 (UTC)


 * Henio0, please check a topic that I opened up in the Main Page. I'm pretty sure you'd be interested in replying. Thanks! 15:57, April 3, 2013 (UTC)

Hopefully you'll stay for one or two hours in the chat during the weekend and send me a follow up message in here. That will be more efficient than expecting me to check an empty chat within one minute :P 00:29, April 5, 2013 (UTC)

Screenshots
Hey Henio0, I've noticed that you uploaded images of the Ogre Commander and possessed Ogre Commander. A picture however showing the red circle and the name of the creature is generally considered to be of low quality and there has been an effort to replace such images. So it would be for the best if you don't press "tab" to reveal the name of the creature and also aim the camera in a such way that the red circle is also not shown. Cheers! 06:32, April 8, 2013 (UTC)
 * Oh, alright. I did it on purpose because otherwise the commander looks like a regular ogre. :P Anyway, thanks in advance. Henio0 (talk) 08:01, April 8, 2013 (UTC)


 * I am sorry but does this mean you'll update the pictures on your own? I didn't get your intentions in your reply.. 10:24, April 10, 2013 (UTC)
