User talk:MastahMatt

Hi there!
Welcome to our Fallout wiki, and thank you for your contributions! There's a lot to do around here, so I hope you'll stay with us and make many more improvements.


 * Recent changes is a great first stop, because you can see what other people are editing right this minute, and where you can help.


 * If you haven't already, create a user page about yourself! If you do, we'll be able to know you better as a member of our community.


 * Questions? You can ask in the Forum or on the "discussion" page associated with each article, or post a message on my talk page!


 * Need help? The Help page has an outline of the site, and pages to help you learn how to edit.

I'm really happy to have you here, and look forward to working with you!

Key item IDs
Yeah, getting at the IDs is tricky when you are playing on a console version of FO3. Unfortunately there's no full list of all keys with item IDs yet that I could point you to, I'll see whether I can compile one tomorrow. I've added the Anchorage Stash Key ID. Happy editing :-) // Porter21 U 02:16, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Uploaded Image:FO3 key list.png which lists all keys and their Base IDs. The editor names are usually pretty self-explanatory. Haven't had time to turn it into a proper wiki page yet, thought you might find this helpful though :-) Weight and value are not really relevant for keys since they are all weightless and you can't sell/buy them, so you might as well leave the entries empty in my opinion. // Porter21 U 01:07, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Porter. This will help a lot. MastahMatt 01:35, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Capitalization
Please see the Help page for capitalization guidelines: Thanks! We appreciate your contributions. --AshRandom 00:12, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * "Do not overcapitalize. Names of articles and categories should be Fallout series and Fallout setting etc. not Fallout Series and Fallout Setting."

Just to clarify, it's my understanding that if the title in question is a named person/item, then it should be capitalized, so things like Sniper Rifle and Dart Gun would stay capped. --AshRandom 00:49, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks AshRandom. This is useful info to have! MastahMatt 01:35, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Fawkes
Hey Matt, thanks for your efforts on the Fawkes page, its been an ongoing disaster. If you find places where you can condense the article further please do so, it's still rather long and rambling in many places. AshRandom (Talk) 05:31, 12 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Sure thing, Ash. I enjoy consolidation :)

Revisions
I like them! Nicely done. And yes, I've been watching your edits, they're well written, valuable contributions (again, I apologize for getting frustrated over the Trivia dispute). If you could help the vault out a bit on consistent formatting of articles - please attempt to "pyramid" the article by starting with a single descriptive sentence about the article itself (as you have, and as most already are) then immediately follow with (table of contents). If the article starts with a big paragraph, split the rest of it apart, keeping it under a Notes/Location/Whatever ==header== (doesn't matter so much what the header is, just so long as its slapped right under the (no space). Thanks again for helping us improve the vault :)  AshRandom (Talk) 14:26, 20 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the encouragement Ash, and I'm also of the opinion that the type of article format you described is the best one.MastahMatt 19:41, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Great, also, I suppose there was some confusion with the way the directions were originally written, note: for shorter articles that fit on one screen, there's obviously no point in forcing the TOC to pop up. [[Image:Ash_Nuke.jpg]] AshRandom (Talk) 00:31, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
