User talk:Jereth Khan

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. See the Vault's Policy page for general guidelines and code of conduct.

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

Games template
Welcome and thanks for your work on the notes. When creating new articles, don't forget to insert at the top of the article (e.g.  for Fallout 3-related articles). This will display the game icon in the top right corner.

Just a little hint :-) // Porter21 U 15:08, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
 * No need to rush, there's still a lot of pages which don't have the games tag either (the template is still pretty new, we're slowly converting the old articles), just thought I'd let you know for future use :-)
 * Trying to get a uniform look can indeed be quite a bit of work, seems like you've been doing a good job so far though. // Porter21 U 15:25, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

To be more specific:
 * To display Fallout game icons add to the top of applicable fallout pages. Put spin-offs after the main series. There are tags for Fallout Tactics | FOT }}, Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel | FOBOS }} , and Van Buren | VB }}.
 * For pages about this Wiki (not game pages) add the vault template: to the top of the page. [[Image:Ash_Nuke.jpg]] AshRandom (Talk) 17:43, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

--Jereth Khan 22:40, 18 January 2009 (UTC)Yeah I figured all that out, the help files are all over the place on some of the things here, but I think I've figured most of it out, just jump on me if I screw more up ;)
 * Well good! I'm glad people are running into the help pages, I spent a lot of time on them ;) [[Image:Ash_Nuke.jpg]] AshRandom (Talk) 23:36, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

 --Jereth Khan 01:20, 19 January 2009 (UTC)I think I enjoy adding content more than finding it. At some point in time when I finish seeking the information missing, I'd like to try to get all the pages looking somewhat the same, ie. Character pages have all their information in the same order (Name,Bio,Other,Related Quests,Stats,Inventory,Knowen Bugs,Quotes,Notes,Appearances,Refernces) or something to that extent.


 * Ya know, you don't have to sign your posts backwards, unless that's fun for you... hehehe... It really would be nice if we had a consensus on what order to list paragraphs in. So far the only guidance we've gotten from our Bureaucrat is that ==Trivia== (cultural-references) has to come after all the important information, ==YouTube Videos== should be listed after that, with ==Weapons Lists== charts always coming in dead last at the very bottom of the page. Other than that its a toss up for the order things go in. There are also are tons of misnamed headers with the title ==References== which should be changed to ==Trivia== as ==References== is supposed to be used with the template:  which will list the page's external links (so long as they have wiki markup codes on them). It's a slow process, after nearly two months I'm still working my way through all the weapons pages.... Half the time I find myself chasing after anonymous users and their fallacious edits... I'm glad to have you here, we could use another hand dedicated to obsessive organization ;) [[Image:Ash_Nuke.jpg]] AshRandom (Talk) 02:25, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Basicly, my thoughts run in this order
 * Game Story Any info pertaining to the game's story, personality, family, etc.
 * Game Information Info concerning characters involvment in quests, alternate locations, special items, etc.
 * Bug Information
 * Extra Info Quotes, triva, videos, basicly, anything non-game related
 * Inventory And that's a good header, Inventory, I'd have liked to see it further up, but I suppose the end works (actually, I would have liked it in the template)


 * Inventory? You mean like notable loot? That can't come after Trivia, Ausir's orders, Trivia has to come after all the important info, followed by Videos, then Charts (if there are any). [[Image:Ash_Nuke.jpg]] AshRandom (Talk) 05:00, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Re: Stuff I was doing
Yes, AshRandom is unfortunately no longer an active contributor here. I think it would be best if you created a thread about it in Forum:Wiki general discussion and if we discussed this there instead of in user talk pages. Ausir 21:17, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
