  Maygus  talk &bull; cont 07:50, 19 January 2011 (CST)
 * Yes, I'll add those to the list to test out this weekend on the beta site. Prod me if you see me Saturday since I'll be back home then. -- Ciovala Talk 12:35, 19 January 2011 (CST)

User Scores
I think adding Extension:Contribution_Scores would be brilliant to keep track of whom is active in the recent days. It tracks 7 days, 30 days and all time. :). This can help you decide whom you could promote come time, or help identify spammers rising up quickly on the page. It can be useful for future contests, etc as it "scores" you as well.

 * That looks pretty cool. I'll add it to the list! -- Ciovala Talk 12:01, 23 January 2011 (CST)

Item Form
Hi. Just to let you know, the item form inserts the { { item2 } } template, and not the headings manually, so hence, the sections are not editable in page. A s h k i r 03:39, 24 January 2011 (CST) Yeah I want them automatically added though, but perhaps just using an if statement? Or include on the main item form? What od you think? -- Ciovala Talk 13:10, 24 January 2011 (CST)

Replacing blockquotes
Is it possible, to make a quote of someone saying something in the stub style on the wiki page? Some kind of blockquote?

Would be great!

1000 Pages.
Hi. We reached 1000 pages. But I realized, we easily have over 1300 likely. Why? Because it is not counting Recipe: NPC: Quest: etc (Maygus and I think we need to drop NPC: Quest: as well as I feel it is unneeded).

Can we get Recipe: and NPC/Quest (if you decide to keep them as name spaces) added to the content pages?

MSN name invalid?
I tried adding you on MSN, but it says the e-mail is invalid! I don't know what's wrong. :( --SinisteRing 18:35, 29 January 2011 (CST)
 * Definitely not invalid... ;) -- Ciovala Talk 18:49, 29 January 2011 (CST)

foul cascade
I added an overview to foul cascade instance page using the edit function and saved the change and when I go to the page I do not see what I added. Did I do something wrong? I can see what I added if I review the history of the page.

 * I can't tell in retrospect what went wrong. But perhaps it was the   that was being used?  Also, make sure you never start a line with a space, or it will end up with some very strange formatting.  I made a few quick edits and all seems to show now I think?  Thanks for putting this together!  One quick comment is to write purely factual (with no fun...boring I know) and from a 3rd person perspective. -- Ciovala Talk 08:59, 30 January 2011 (CST)

artifacts
just a question, i have noticed a bunch of artifacts while playing the game, but nothing is mentioned, as far as i can see, about them on the wiki. I love to collect glowies. Is this being worked on? Thanks
 * Hi there! Yes, artifacts are 'on the list' but we've mainly been focusing on item templates and a few other things.  However, we do need to get that sort of information on the wiki.  What sort of information would be helpful to you? -- Ciovala Talk 11:10, 30 January 2011 (CST)
 * I'd actually like to personally add on to this and ask for an artifact/collection template or something along those lines. I've got a LOT of information about the locations of and uses for specific artifacts and would love to put them up, but unfortunately I don't see a proper way to do so. I'm not sure how high of a priority it is, but whenever it comes I'll be sure to have some good information ready for it. --SinisteRing 15:59, 30 January 2011 (CST)
 * Well feel free to use that if you want. It's not quite a template now, but it's not -that- complicated of a wiki table, especially if we just have a table like that in every zone.  Just mess about with the table using preview to make sure it works before hitting submit.  Also ask in Telarapedia:IRC for help if you need (although I'm going offline for a bit now myself). We can use the help! -- Ciovala Talk 16:11, 30 January 2011 (CST)
 * One more thing - yeah I think the Template:Item needs an edit made perhaps for Artifacts? I think you can set them there but it needs more fields to cover all that is listed in an artifact description (when talking about individual artifact pages). -- Ciovala Talk 16:13, 30 January 2011 (CST)

Caching
Hey Ciovala,

Just letting you know the caching issue is affecting the .css as well as the .js, are permissions on folders etc. set ok on the server? It's weird that all of a sudden the .js and .css stopped updating...

  Maygus  talk &bull; cont 18:04, 31 January 2011 (CST)
 * Well we've not changed anything and the wiki has caching (file) disabled so no idea if we get the new server ready we can move there someday... Oh and no Internet ATM so posting this via iPhone. :(-- Ciovala Talk 18:30, 31 January 2011 (CST)
 * Checked today and it seems normal enough to me. Using APC some some is cached, plus the browser naturally does.  Fairly normal to have to shift-reload a page to refresh stuff like that in my experience.  Unless I'm missing something...-- Ciovala Talk 13:24, 1 February 2011 (CST)

Hi there
Wanted to thank you for creating this website. I've decided to invest my time here because I love both the dedication you put in its design and the name you gave it ! Also wanted to ask a few questions.

First, don't you think the website's font is a little bit too small ? It would be quite enough if it wasnt a wiki, and it sure is beautiful as it is, but I'm afraid some users will have a bad time trying to read pages with a lot of content. Just thinking out loud here :)

Second, I'm wondering if the article "Aggro" should not be renamed "Threat", as it is one of its non-slang synonym. I'm well aware it isn't really the same, as the whole "aggro" thing turned into a verb also, but I do think one single page named "Threat", with appopriate redirections of course, would be better. Just wanted to ask you what you think before I do it really, so just say the word :D

Finally, I think we should merge the Energy & Mana pages in one single article. What do you think about that ?

PS: I'm wondering what I could add to the Combat article. I clearly do not want to get carried away on deep mechanisms and stuff, even if it could use a "Combat Mechanisms" later. What do you think ?

Jean-Jean Panette 12:59, 1 February 2011 (CST)
 * Welcome, Jean-Jean! On most of these topics it is worth starting discussions on the various talk pages. I'm trying to step back a tiny bit now and let the community decide a bit what happens (when I can at least).    Honestly, though, be bold in many cases (aside from article mergers and the like)!


 * On the font, we might be able to do something there although it will probably wreck a lot of the formatting on the site as well. I think it's the same as wowpedia and some other sites? Personally I do use the browser settings to zoom in a tiny bit, though, as everything seems to scale well, then.-- Ciovala Talk 13:24, 1 February 2011 (CST)

Suggestions I had
I put some suggestions on the main page talk page, but no one got back to me. I'd really like a template for spells/abilities so that increases in their effects (per rank) can be recorded. I've got information on some of it and I'd really like to keep it documented somewhere. --SinisteRing 18:12, 1 February 2011 (CST)

NPC Template Bug
The NPC template doesn't make a page for the NPC name itself. For example, Catelyn Silera does not exist, but NPC:Catelyn Silera does. This affects the pages for quests and NPC pages themselves.
 * Ciovala is semi-afk atm due to net issues, but she'll get onto it when it's back. I'm not sure how the forms work to stop it putting NPCs into the the NPC: prefix.   Maygus  talk &bull; cont 22:49, 1 February 2011 (CST)
 * That's simple enough to do Maygus. Just hollar if you need it done. A s h k i r  01:43, 2 February 2011 (CST)

More Quest Objectives
I think there needs to be more objectives under the quest form. I keep having to put anything past the 3rd objective combined into the 2nd one. Is it possible to get another objective or possibly up to 4-5 on the Quest form? --SinisteRing 18:59, 2 February 2011 (CST)

Broken Equip Text on Item Template
Take a look at http://telarapedia.com/wiki/Sedimentary_Stonesource I added in Equip text for it, since that's all there is for it. However, it does not show on the item. On top of that, I cannot make it a "Greater" Planar Essence since there is no option for it (at least on Form:Item). Just thought I'd bring it to your attention. --SinisteRing 00:38, 3 February 2011 (CST)


 * In the screenshot, does it say "Use: xxxxx" and then the rest of the text or just straight "xxxxx". If Use:... you can do |use=  and that will work.   Maygus  talk &bull;  cont 01:48, 3 February 2011 (CST)
 * Greater Planar Essences use Equip texts. For example, this Sedimentary Sourcestone should be "On Equip: Damaging abilities have a 10% chance to summon a shield absorbing 15% of all incoming damage up to a total of 252 damage. This shield grants immunity to fear for the duration." This is white text located where stats usually are for other items. --SinisteRing 17:09, 3 February 2011 (CST)
 * So do a lot of blue items. Check the loot on some of the Iron Tomb bosses. (I have the Equip: text in the page waiting for the template) -- Ciovala Talk 17:11, 3 February 2011 (CST)

Item Template: Dodge Not Working
http://telarapedia.com/wiki/Verosa's_Untouchable_Bow This item requires +6 Melee Dodge, but the item form doesn't allow me to put that in as a stat. --SinisteRing 01:44, 3 February 2011 (CST)
 * I have added this into the form and also fixed up the item in question.

My Suggestions - Main Page Discussion
Added a whole lot of suggestions and bugs on the discussion for the main page. Check it out sometime, and I'll be back after this beta phase is over with a whole new load of information to pour into Telarapedia! :) --SinisteRing 09:26, 4 February 2011 (CST)
 * Awesome! Thanks for the suggestions.  We take them seriously and will improve what we can - your contributions are appreciated. :D --<span style="border: black solid 1px;padding:4px 2px 2px;-moz-border-radius:.3em;-webkit-border-radius:.3em;background-color:#191919;font-size:.9em"> Ciovala Talk 11:27, 4 February 2011 (CST)

thanks for admin of german section :)

#ask function includes Newsfeed
Hi there, somehow the #ask function is including the Newsfeed page. See Terminus for an example. Is it possible to exclude the Newsfeed from that list? --Plyturon 10:05, 13 February 2011 (CST)

Sitenotice - Width Issue
Hey Ciovala,

Looks like the sitenotice has a hardcoded width of 80% for the inner section - can you possibly get that changed to 100%? <span style="border: green solid 1px;padding:4px 2px 2px;-moz-border-radius:.3em;-webkit-border-radius:.3em;background-color:#181818;font-size:.9em">  Maygus  talk &bull; cont 20:02, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
