			== theme music ==

			Are we allowed to add theme music to a wiki page... or rolling credits?

			: Go ahead and link to music if you like, but nothing that auto-plays on the page itself, assuming we're even set up to do that.
			: As for animations, I'm going to say no. And I'll even add it to the [[MOS]], as that seems to be missing from it. -[[User:CARAAMON\|CARAAMON]] ([[User talk:CARAAMON\|talk]]) 16:00, 10 February 2015 (CST)


			== Crossing Temple Festival ==

			So, when I was working on the [[choryu cake]] page, I found an archived folder on my backup drive that had a bunch of documents I'd made from various festivals over years before sweet, sweet epedia came along (heh). I'll work my way through updating things over the next week from them, but I found one that epedia doesn't have (I don't think anyhow, I couldn't find anything with searches) a category and/or festival page set up for yet. In 2001, the "new" Crossing temple was opened and there were about 15 merchants that set up on the grounds. Did you want to set that category & festival page up? Or create the red-links here and I'll populate them next time I sit down to document? Thanks! --[[Kythryn]] 10:52, 13 January 2015 (CST)
			: Yeah, I think it was too early for Epedia and too late for DFP, or something around there. Just keep 'em redlinked until you put something in there. -[[User:CARAAMON\|CARAAMON]] ([[User talk:CARAAMON\|talk]]) 16:11, 13 January 2015 (CST)
			:: Whew, your TALK page is getting long! Popular fella...:). Going to put a quick note on these sub-topics I've addressed so you can clean your "inbox" up if you want.
			:: Linett got me motivated to finish this, I think she dug up the Sputkin tent or something. So, I guess this is done pending edits: [[Temple Reopening]]. --[[Kythryn]] 15:14, 25 January 2015 (CST)

			== Pit Boards ==

			Being the resident Barbarian expert around here...:) Did you want a page created for the Pit Board rosters? I'm sitting here looking at the Ratha one, and while I'm guessing it has to do with Barbarians beating the tar out of each other, I figured I'd ask before jumping into formatting the table for it if there's some reason it shouldn't be on epedia. Thanks! --[[Kythryn]] 01:33, 7 March 2015 (CST)
			: We have guild renown boards, so I don't see why not. Go for it! -[[User:CARAAMON\|CARAAMON]] ([[User talk:CARAAMON\|talk]]) 17:54, 7 March 2015 (CST)

			== Forging lightweight HCS Poignards ==

			Forging lightweight poignards from HCS for gnomes: a) I have found no way to reflect "honed" in the [[Weapon:Poignard (crafted)\|HC Steel table]]. Honed is the only way I know to make a 6 stone poignard from HCS, but I would prefer to make it explicit if possible. Can that be shown? How? b) my appraisals (certain) for 6 stone (honed) and 7 stone HCS poignards are identical to one another at mod/low/dismal, terrible, except-well/dismal when masterfully crafted from 99 material. Wondering if the 7 stone data in the table (shows excellently balanced) is a reality I somehow cannot duplicate, represents a balanced poignard not evident in the table, or an error. Please advise --[[User:JBEETLE\|Jbeetle]] 18:16 March 27, 2015 (UTC)
			: I've set up a temporary way to display notes, but I'm not sure we should do it. Balancing for sure is out, as it has predictable results always, but honing is still a problem as it will double the size of the tables. I'll have to think about it.
			: I rechecked the poignard and you were right, the balance was off.-[[User:CARAAMON\|CARAAMON]] ([[User talk:CARAAMON\|talk]]) 18:06, 27 March 2015 (CDT)
			:: Very good. Thanks for verifying the weapon balance. WRT to managing table size, perhaps the honed note (if preserved) should be reserved for weights that can only be achieved through honing. If so, then would it simply be supplemental and prevent unnecessary duplication? For your considerarion. -[[User:JBEETLE\|Jbeetle]] 21:52 27 March 2015 (CDT)

			== Forging Table Data Missing? ==

			Went in today to look up some weapon properties and data in the tables has been replaced by "?" for everything except weight for some forged items including katar, carving knife, and short hammer. -[[User:JBEETLE\|Jbeetle]] 19:28 10 April 2015 (CDT)
			: You can fix it by editing, making no changes, then saving. I'm not sure why it's happening, but I'll look into it. -[[User:CARAAMON\|CARAAMON]] ([[User talk:CARAAMON\|talk]]) 18:02, 10 April 2015 (CDT)

			== Old User Page ==

			Hey Caraamon, assuming you still have admin/mod privs here can you move my old userpage from the prior incarnation of elanthipedia (User:Callek) to my new one User:CALLEK per the freemium play.net account I just got. (feel free to e-mail me at the address you likely have on record if you need a confirm). I'd also love getting some form of admin back, but I don't demand it at this time, since I am not yet certain how long I am back for (I haven't even chosen a guild for my newly created freemium character) --[[User:CALLEK\|CALLEK]] ([[User talk:CALLEK\|talk]]) 23:53, 23 April 2015 (CDT)
			:Thank You! --[[User:CALLEK\|CALLEK]] ([[User talk:CALLEK\|talk]]) 10:28, 27 April 2015 (CDT)

			== Metal mixes ==

			Hi Caraamon -

			I'm a ridiculously beginner forger but I am looking to get heavy into armorsmithing. Do you have any additional resources beyond what's on Elanthipedia for metal mixes? Or should I not even worry about alloys and the like?

			Any advice would be awesome.

			Thanks,

			- Lyrandar

			[[User:Shad1\|Lyrandar]] ([[User talk:Shad1\|talk]]) 15:13, 28 April 2015 (CDT)

			== Searching ==

			So, as an fyi, I learned that Searching the wiki fails when you uncheck various namespaces (e.g. if I want to search for stuff not in items, or not in Posts) I did verify that at least one thing in the "(Main)" namespace result set (a post) was actually in the Post namespace (per wiki <nowiki>{{NAMESPACE}}</nowiki>) which might be a need of regenerating the search/namespace index or something. --[[User:CALLEK\|CALLEK]] ([[User talk:CALLEK\|talk]]) 10:28, 27 April 2015 (CDT)

			== Semantic Media Wiki ==

			So, when looking at special pages it appears that I have the admin access to the SMW functions (e.g. the regen all data). Which was already started when I looked, it's at 0%, I can infact cancel and restart those admin features.

			I wonder if I retained/gained admin abilities in that regard again, or if '''everyone''' has those abilities (everyone shouldn't). It might also explain part of the issue with regard to the Semantic Searching not working. And might spell a problem with the overall SMW install.

			Felt this was worth a note to pass off to SIMU-WHoever. --[[User:CALLEK\|CALLEK]] ([[User talk:CALLEK\|talk]]) 14:41, 27 May 2015 (CDT)

			== Woodland Wonders ==

			Hey! I saw you happened on my faux shop page. I'm entering the Premie "Design a Shop" contest, and this seemed to be the best way for me to organize all the data. Hopefully it doesn't cause any issues!

			: I'm afraid it does. We only allow actual existing in-game items to be put up. It would cause such confusion if people were allowed to put up their items they're considering altering (or even altering) or design ideas.

			: I need you to take it down, please. I'll give you a couple days to do it, so you can save the info, but after that I'm going to have to start deleting it outright. -[[User:CARAAMON\|CARAAMON]] ([[User talk:CARAAMON\|talk]]) 16:14, 16 August 2015 (CDT)

			Got it- I'll take it down ASAP.

			== Mistake? ==

			Hey Caraamon, either this ([https://elanthipedia.play.net/mediawiki/index.php?title=General_new_player_guide&curid=94367&diff=422015&oldid=412481]) was a mistake or its not, if not you likely need to remove ref to SIMUCOIN, if it is not as well I'd love a citation, since I just bought simucoins for offline drain as well, since I didn't have it as f2p as of a few days ago. --[[User:CALLEK\|CALLEK]] ([[User talk:CALLEK\|talk]]) 00:22, 1 September 2015 (CDT)

			== Forged steel greataxe ==

			Caraamon,

			I'm a fairly new adventurer (Circle 19 Barb) I'm fairly curious if you've found, in your experience, that lighter or heavier weapons deal more damage over time. I find that I generally have better luck with lighter 2HE. Is this typical of lower base strength and agility characters? If so, what is the lightest steel greataxe you can forge is it 44, or can there be an 8% reduction on top of that which would bring it to 41 or 40 stones?

			-Halgore

			:It's really not that simple. If you're just moving into a hunting area or are having trouble hitting things, a light balanced weapon is going to excel. If you're already well into your hunting ground, then heavier, more damaging weapons start to pull ahead.
			:44 is the lightest standard steel greataxe that can be made, but yes, it can be honed further down to 40. -[[User:CARAAMON\|CARAAMON]] ([[User talk:CARAAMON\|talk]]) 23:47, 27 November 2015 (CST)

			== Player Armorsmiths page ==

			Please add Gwenddolyn to the Player Armorsmiths page. Also is there a Shield Forgers Page? She forges both Metal shields and armor. The link to the page is on the bottom of her profile page, but her name does not appear on the Player Armorsmiths Page. Thanks! Player of Gwenddolyn
			: Fixed! -[[User:CARAAMON\|CARAAMON]] ([[User talk:CARAAMON\|talk]]) 19:27, 30 November 2015 (CST)

	In light of the last known archive website available to download the [[Coordinate Chart]] having a trojan, I was wondering what the possibility of hosting a clean copy of the executable file on elanthipedia is. Is it even possible? I think its likely to be beyond the scope of a wiki page, but it doesn't hurt to ask/get clarification, I suppose.--[[User:Evran\|Evran]] 13:41, 16 April 2010 (UTC)		In light of the last known archive website available to download the [[Coordinate Chart]] having a trojan, I was wondering what the possibility of hosting a clean copy of the executable file on elanthipedia is.

			==Appraisal Values==

			Some people are adding appraisal values that are converted (I assume by script) from Dokoras or Lirums into Kronars. These conversions are sometimes off due to differences in rounding. You may want to put a note not to use converted appraisals. --[[User:Isharon\|Isharon]] 21:44, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

			== Woolly References ==
			Heya talking to jaedren today I was wondering if it was Woolly or Wooly tanglefoot. It should be Woolly(2 L's). I wasn't sure how you wanted to change that since there's an entry on Wooly and Woolly, and there's a few typo's in game, the trading cards(he said that'd be fine unchanged) and the Bardic recall(he said that should be changed in game).
			--[[User:Powerhaus\|Powerhaus]] 2 sept 2010
			: That's odd. From what I gather from talking to [[Raesh]], the recall basically pulls from the card itself. Maybe I misunderstood. -Moderator [[User:Caraamon\|Caraamon Makdasi]]<sup>([[User talk:Caraamon\|talk]])</sup> 18:48, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
			ah there was a post they fixed it... i meant the pedia articles though, I guess delete the wooly article and just find and replace the other instances with Woolly.
			--[[User:Powerhaus\|Powerhaus]] 2 sept 2010
			: Already done. Cheers. -Moderator [[User:Caraamon\|Caraamon Makdasi]]<sup>([[User talk:Caraamon\|talk]])</sup> 05:19, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

			== Player Elf Categories ==
			I do not want to mess anything up by trying to do it myself since I am not exactly sure what you did, but I just wanted to mention that not all of the Clan categories are done. I noticed two PCs still showing up on the NPC list for Forest Elves, for instance.
			--[[User:Rangergls\|Rangergls]] 04 AUG 10
			: Noted, and thanks. -Moderator [[User:Caraamon\|Caraamon Makdasi]]<sup>([[User talk:Caraamon\|talk]])</sup> 20:00, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

			== Heya ==
			re: your note<br>
			Cyia wanted a page, and she's not good at the code, so I just made one up for her real quick, and said I'd clean up whatever she decided to put there later. Also did the same for Meanne(page building), but she's edited it since then. Lemme know if you got any issues or anything, I can just give C a formated version of whatever that she can just paste if that works better.

			--[[User:Powerhaus\|Powerhaus]] 29 april 2010


			== New At This... ==

			Caraamon,

			I am sorry I am really new at this so I don't even know if this is how I should be contacting you. Wanted to say first "thank you" for all the work you and everyone else here have done. It has been an enormous aide to me. Second, I saw that you were looking for an update to the "Glyph of Warding" page? I have never edited a wiki page before so I am pretty uninformed. However, I was wondering what information you were looking for?

			If I put this in the wrong place, this message, my sincere apologies.

			--[[User:Malchazador\|Malchazador]] 03:04, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
			8)

			: This is exactly how you do it, so no worries, and thanks. Basically, the page hasn't been updated since the new depart mechanics went in, and I know glyph of warding was changed then. I just don't remember how it now interacts with the new mechanics. Don't worry about the editing, just try your best and one of the many people who work on this site will come along and fix any formatting issues. -Moderator [[User:Caraamon\|Caraamon Makdasi]]<sup>([[User talk:Caraamon\|talk]])</sup> 05:44, 22 April 2010 (UTC)


			Thanks for getting back to me. I did find a few posts by Dartenian about departing with a ward as well as the new "glyph" command which is meant to replace "trace". I can paste them in or something, but I am currently looking at the page in edit mode and I have to admit, I'm really overwhelmed and think I'm out of my league. I am really sorry. I can paste in the info I think. But formatting it correctly I think is out of my skill set right now. I hope I don't mess anything up.

			== The Great Outdoors ==
			This freakin' shop SWITCHED its prices in the middle of me trying to figure out how to use a Wiki ... The day before they were in Kronars (same as the shop's been the other two times it appeared) and some time last night they switched to Lirums (although everything in the shop still apps in Kronars). Is that what you're referring to?

			EDIT: Ooooo I see, two pages. I'mma attempt to update the (2) page to Lirums.

			[[User:Skizzy\|Skizzy]] 13:26, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

			Updated prices on Great Outdoors, The (2) to appropriate Lirums values. Sorry for letting my n00b show, but is adding an item page as simple as adding a tag for it? There's a bullwhip missing from that crate. Will try to find that answer for myself while I update the rest of those. =D

			13:53, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

			Edit the page, take a look at how it's all set up. If it still makes no sense to you, post all the info you have on the Talk page and someone will make the edit for you. -Moderator [[User:Caraamon\|Caraamon Makdasi]]<sup>([[User talk:Caraamon\|talk]])</sup> 22:21, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

			Couple things I've had trouble reverse engineering (namely that Bardic Journey, The =/= The Bardic Journey, and how to list an item's slot as "tied to hair") but I think I'm getting the hang of it without leaving any stupid mistakes behind. [[User:Skizzy\|Skizzy]] 23:05, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
			Redirect for the bard shop noted, and appreciated! [[User:Skizzy\|Skizzy]] 23:56, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
			:To set an item as hair worn depends on if you're doing it by hand or with the Form. The Form has a drop down menu that'll set where an item is worn, just select Hair. If you're doing the work by hand, "\|Wearloc=hair". When setting Wearloc, make sure you set the Type as well. Even if you properly set the location, if you don't set one of the Types to Jewelry, Clothing or Container the page will not display the worn location.<br>-[[User:Glimmereyes\|Glimmereyes]] 01:48, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
			Wearloc=hair is "placed in the hair," no? There's a separate slot for "tied to the hair" and that's the one I can't figure out how to pick.

			== Nonexisting Character Pages ==
			Moved this discussion over here. I'm not talking about a glut of PC pages. I'm talking about pages of characters that DON'T exist at all. Example: http://www.elanthipedia.com/wiki/Ena It's for someone's house pet. Another example: http://www.elanthipedia.com/wiki/Thewonmisral He states the character will probably never be actually seen and is just part of history (though I know things change, so you know, that'd be something to confirm.) These are the examples I'm talking about - not actually played characters. The hedgehog as an NPC really bothers me for the precedent it could set. --[[User:Ysselt\|Ysselt]] 04:13, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
			:I completely agree. Bring those type of pages to moderator attention and they'll be squashed. -Moderator [[User:Caraamon\|Caraamon Makdasi]]<sup>([[User talk:Caraamon\|talk]])</sup> 04:24, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

			== Heya ==

			Just got back in the game after a long break, good to see your still around.

			I don't even want to think about how much stronger you must be now.

			See you in the Realms!

			-Stuwart; Dwarven Cleric of Urrem'tier.


			== juggling list ==

			Caraamon, if you get a chance, could you have a look at the juggling table I started in my sandbox/juggle. The current list of juggling items on the perception page doesn't list the vast majority of the jugglies we have as items. I thought it would make more sense to compile the table based on "juggle" item types instead. However, with the current item templates, only store-bought juggling items will list their source. That's at least as far as I can get... I'm not so good with figuring out templates. If you're able to work out a solution, I'll go through and get the current perception page list itemized.

			Thanks for fixing my Gorbesh Captain's items, by the way. That was making me crazy.

			- [[User:Hrodberacht\|Hrodberacht]] 16:53, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

			== Concept Pages ==

			Hi there Caraamon. What's up with all of the "Concept" pages that show up in [[Special:BrokenRedirects]]? If you visit those pages, it looks like they're correctly redirecting to Item pages. Is that a bug of some sort? I've been trying to fix broken redirects but I don't know what to do about those.<br />
			-[[User:Vien\|Vien]] 15:45, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
			:Never heard exactly what caused it, but during an update a while back most of the pages from the Item name space where moved to the Concept name space. All the pages have been moved back to their proper name and I've slowly been deleting the Concept pages, but don't always think to fix/Delete the pages linking to the Concept.

			:Short answer, either ignore the Concept pages or tag them with the Delete template. Pages that redirect to Concept pages should be altered to point to the Item name space.<br>-[[User:Glimmereyes\|Glimmereyes]] 19:19, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

			== Duplicate Posts ==
			I'm not sure which to keep. This is the original [[Post:My_Pyre_is_Broke_:(]] which links from the Phoenix's Pyre page, and this is the one just created [[Post:My_Pyre_is_Broke_:(_NUDGE_-_7/21/2010_-_14:42:55]] with as yet no links I'm aware of. I'll leave it up to you to decide which is the correct format, since creating post pages confuses me. ;)--[[User:Evran\|Evran]] 02:24, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
