Infobox new
Thanks for the testing, it's appreciated :) -- Porter21 (talk) 09:01, August 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) The abb limit of 3 is intentional - I'm trying to avoid that the supertitle becomes longer than one line. I'm planning to put the overview page links in a hover menu (similar to the game icons) entirely, then we won't need the limit anymore.
 * 2) Yeah, the image width limit only affects proper "image" rows (including the main images) - the width restriction can be circumvented either by using an image "manually" in a text row or by using the "@original" option. Unfortunately, I don't think this can be fixed/improved due to technical restrictions, but it's on my list of things to look at (again) when I get back.
 * 3) Good catch. Should be fixed now; was simply an unwanted interaction of the collapse script with the infobox CSS.

terminal entries
I was gonna leave this for Porter21, but he's on vacation. I created a page for Vault 21 terminal entries, basing it on the existing page for Vault 3 terminal entries. I created links to both pages on Project:Raw game data/FNV notes. Would like to link the Vault 3 and 21 pages to the terminal entries pages for each, but not sure where to add link. Dr. Lobotomy asked a similar question on the Wiki discussion forums, but there hasn't been a response. I'm going to add them to the notes section. If you have a better idea, please let me know. I did this because all of those (and many others on the raw date page) are listed as stubs. -LawdyMissMaudy 22:05, August 6, 2011 (UTC)

not sure but i think my 72 hour ban is up ....pipman said if he was unable to un chatban me to contact another admin

Colin T8 Chat Ban
I contacted DeadlyKris before you contacted me but thank you for the message. Kris told me to make him wait his entire 72 hours as he still has about 4 hours until he reaches his 72. Because of my Eastern Standard timezone, I may have to wait until later (6AM EST) for him to have the ban lifted but you are welcome to lift the ban as you see fit. As a bonus, I don't have any motivation to unban him as be called me multiple obscenities, that won't affect him being unbanned but that was just to let you know. 01:01, August 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the response, truly helpful. I have decided to make him wait until 6 AM EST, when I wake up. However, you could just lift it when you want too. 32 Mercenary.png

Come to think of it...
Closing a blog to comments is useless if the one who posted it checks regularly, because they can open it again. And i was to stupid to see that lol.

I blocked him for two weeks and banned him from chat after the exchange he left on my page after I wrote my piece on his. Please review this and verify that I was correct in blocking him for rude behavior. Thanks.--Kingclyde 11:40, August 11, 2011 (UTC)

Images
Hello my friend ;)

I know Ghost but they were at least 30 images and I didn't have the patience to edit every image to put "user page image" page, in addition they were duplicated image of a same image already in the Vault needed to be deleted. If users see an image missing from their page, they just have to change it (especially if they use images directly from Vault and not uploaded by themselves).

I usually go when there's not much there but it was impossible otherwise I would never get out =). Itachou [~talk~] 11:46, August 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * I have change the cats for you? Haha pretty hard English for me sorry, I did not understand!


 * Anyway, now that it's clean, I think put the real images directly to their pages (with the same image of course) after finish with the Reputation. Hum... interesting for the redirection, thanks for the tips Ghost =)! Itachou [~talk~] 12:10, August 11, 2011 (UTC)

Hey I saw and I understand now, great thanks my friend for took care of that boring task ;) (and all images in addition). Haha you made me save time and lost the planned headache. Have a nice day Ghost and see you around =)! Itachou [~talk~] 12:38, August 11, 2011 (UTC)

NCR Radio is an unique item, I don't see it fall in any category listed in The Vault:Article layout guideline/Item article. What characteristic/effects does it have? None. It only have usage.

Yes I changed a section name, but it doesn't warrant a full revert, does it? If it's so strict just revert the section name for god's sake. --Slider2k 18:03, August 12, 2011 (UTC)--

Hey my friend, you also saw the resemblance of Aestune with Lugiatm and Flower of Pock-Lips, it's extremely striking right? And his user name was created in 8 August. A come back of him? Itachou [~talk~] 19:44, August 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes yes it's exactly that (good point for the location of the admin policy since it's a new user). I think you also feel that, you know it's like being confronted with something and you remember you have already faced that in the past. His makes me not often but here it really made me, as with Lugiatm (Flower of Pock-Lips).


 * By cons I don't understand the motivation? What drives them to want to change or destroy anything? Traumatization? Anyway, I will be in scan mode on his actions =). Tezzla, Flower, well what the next ;)? Itachou [~talk~] 20:01, August 12, 2011 (UTC)

Edit warring
http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/81.102.214.15 keeps undoing my revert on his edit, where he states that Scribe Yearling is of the order of the word, and to my knowledge, there is no such order, it's just a mistake in the Fallout 3 writing. Mind to check it out? Hugs Scar: "Say 'ello to my little friend!" 23:11, August 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * Then I think it's a repeated fault, as the three scribe orders are the Sword, Shield and Quill, I think one of the devs failed in that sense, it's not like it's the first time for that to happen. Hugs Scar: "Say 'ello to my little friend!" 23:29, August 13, 2011 (UTC)

Rivet City security
Well to be honest it was for you, as you put the split suggest up, but never bothered to further explain why it needed to be split for ~a month... I feel if someone wants to split a page and suggests it, they need to go into detail of WHY they think that page needs to be split. Not just one sentence. --Living Lifeless 9 23:11, August 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * Then I suppose I'm in the fault... I'll try taking a swing at splitting the two.

Randall Clark - Vault 22
I removed any mention of the Vault 22 residents being called cannibals as fact, the views of one lonely and guilt ridden man should not be taken as fact. So I included some allegedly, etc in the articles. I lost internet except when I am out and about and hit a hot spot, just figured I would mention it though. Mictlantecuhtli 15:41, August 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * I know, I don't have reliable internet though. So in case someone tries to revert them, etc I was merely mentioning my view on it. Many people will no doubt try to claim the computer entries are proof they were cannibals, when they are not. They are merely one persons view, the note left by the Vault 22 residents does not imply the 22's were evil, it actually warns people of a murderous spirit (Clark). From their side he is a murdering psychopath, its impossible to know who was the true evil between them. So essentially I can't be around to watch the article like I would prefer, so if you can just keep an eye on it please. If its convenient to do so. Mictlantecuhtli 16:12, August 16, 2011 (UTC)

Arcadian Rook
Hello my friend ;)

I know, you're right and I'm not someone who banned for nothing, but truly I tell you, I'm tired to see things that can be easily learned after reading the policies and guidelines at least one time. I spend 4 "really" hours in the day of the released of Old World Blues to rename the pages in non-capitalized version and put a correct format to pages.

I think the editors must be aware of things to know and policy that we use here a "minimun". I was the collector of junk this day if you know what I mean, and I think it was the same for Jspoelstra. Such mistakes should not be as present and it would be nice to make a news about some primordial policies and guidelines but my English skills are not as good to be able to do.

Anyway, it is true that I was a little hard about him (it was just the straw that broke the camel's back) but I've never had a dispute with him, not like Aestune that it's not me that ban him but Crazy. But I understand your concern about people wanting to cause this split, we'll do it this way =). Well about Arcadian Rook what do you think, I unban him or not? Itachou [~talk~] 17:34, August 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hum... I more understand your reflection now and it will be harder to defend myself as to defend ourselves.


 * For Arcadian Rook it's true that 3 days is a bit hard, 1 day have past I think it's ok now. Otherwise, thanks Ghost for that note ;), good reflection that you had on the issue. Itachou [~talk~] 18:04, August 14, 2011 (UTC)

Eyebot
Thanks for picking up my slack on the eyebot pages, I really appreciate it. Oh, and my friend found the rick'roll on your page hilarious XD. Hugs Scar: "Say 'ello to my little friend!" 20:23, August 14, 2011 (UTC)

Emitters
I see you decapped the names of the emitters. I thought they were proper nicknames of the different types of emitter, so some time ago I capped those. Jspoel 17:05, August 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * And I think I decapped Roil. How is that to be capped?

Troper
Hello, Ghost. Just saw your post on Troper's talk page, and thought I would tell you he was in chat a little bit ago ranting against Tagaziel. Dunno if thats what you had in mind or not, but he was pretty annoying about it. BILLYOCEAN 20:44, August 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, thats what I warned him against in the chat. I'm not sure exactly what is going through his head, he has added a nice new paragraph to his userpage full of self-pity. The funny thing is, I kinda agreed with his stance on the page, but he completely handled it the wrong way. BILLYOCEAN 21:13, August 16, 2011 (UTC)

No problem
I'll clean up my arguments as of now, but I don't think anyone here at this wiki ever forgives. (Troper of the Wastelands 20:48, August 16, 2011 (UTC))

Vault related
Hello my friend!

Yes agree. In fact, I ask him on his talk page to put them in the Old World Blues (add-on) page since we have not a specific bug page like Mothership Zeta bugs.

I wanted to be him that does this (sorry not sure, pretty hard sentence for me), to make him aware of where put bug images for the next time, and since it's not urgent, but if you want to make it, it works =).

I go sleep my friend, good night and good luck for your future bureaucrat request ;), and just 4 months after your admin right! Hehe just impressive, and you can count on my vote! See you soon =)! Itachou [~talk~] 23:03, August 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hum... I saw, but anyway in the GECK it appeared like in HDR (and I think you are agree with me it was not nice to put it in the page). Sorry I'm very tired, I leave you the issues if you want (otherwise, I take care of that tomorrow), I think you will be treated it properly ;). Itachou [~talk~] 23:38, August 16, 2011 (UTC)

 * That was what I was thinking too. Some people are just out to vandalize and nothing else.

Swank FNV.jpg
There was no reason given for the revert. The image I provided is a product of a bug fix. The Grimy Pre-War Businesswear is supposed to be a dark suit as stated in the wiki and is also verifiable in the GECK. It uses the 1950sSuitDark texture set. Also, the playing card has The Chairmen wearing the dark suits. Not the intended depiction? Oni1 03:46, August 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * I agree with the first two points, but not the third one. There's plenty of evidence to conclude that this is what the developers intended.  The Dirty and Grimy variants are identical in the vanilla game.  The 1950sDarkSuit texture set was applied to the world model of the Grimy variant but not to the male and female biped models.  The Editor ID for Dirty Pre-War Businesswear is OutfitPrewarBusinesswearDirty while the ID for Grimy Pre-War Businesswear is OutfitPrewarBusinesswearDirtyDARK.  Still, despite the spiel, I should have figured the image would get reverted because it is not presented that way in the vanilla game, bugs and all.  I just wanted to get my point across. :) Oni1 04:34, August 23, 2011 (UTC)

Old World Blues
Avatar, can you fix the infobox person template Old World Blues link to the add-on? Example is Beau Weaver. Jspoel 17:07, August 23, 2011 (UTC)

 * If you want, we could sweat it out I think, not that big a deal. I'm probably the only one who noticed. When will you start the bot's big run I wondered. You want to wait till Porter returns and a decision about the map markers has been made?
 * I noticed you fixed the other add-on links too. Good work.
 * Could I help? I don't know, maybe some common typework.
 * I'll wait for that then.

I did think before taking it out, and truly, it was just a waste of words on the screen. dont worry, im not stupid, I do know what to do and what not to do, although I thank you for the advice.

Possible Vandalism
In D.T. Danner's page, in the background section, it opens with, "Seems to be watching you with a smug smile. "Could be a fag!" says Avellone."

Is this vandalism? Even if it isn't, that quote seem highly inappropriate to me. Your thoughts?

-- The Arcadian Rook(talk)User blog: Arcadian Rook 14:26, August 24, 2011 (UTC)

Thank you.
I just wanted to thank you personally for being generous enough to revoke my ban. I really didn't deserve to be allowed back in early for being such a douche. As I assume Al told, I was in a terrible mood, which is of course no excuse for my actions. You're a great bloke, Gavvy and I promise I'll try to be helpful around here. Thank you.

accidental ban
sorry to bother you, but i was banned (soundfilter) because i was "spamming" in chat. ironically, i was doing that to get the attention of an administrator like you, as someone was violating the rules, and nobody would come. you can ask anyone else in the chat to back up my story if you need to. thank you, ryan (soundfilter)

Katana
Hello my friend ;)

Please don't rename Katana (cut content) to Katana. Cut content are secondary things that don't take over things that appear really in-game.

Samurai's sword is a term generally used in English like samurai sword for talk about Katana, it's not a proper name, a Wakizashi or a Nodachi are also a samurai's sword, samurai's sword is just a type like laser rifle or plasma rifle, and in these pages, the real name of the weapon is write.

Also, Ausir and Porter21 were favorable to a renaming for better redirection as those wanting to see the samurai's sword page will write more Katana than samurai's sword, avoiding confusion while still keeping the page correctly and the real title, many people make mistakes because of the title. In addition, the new add-on for Fallout: New Vegas Gun Runners' Arsenal also offers a Katana and the traffic of the page will be even more important now.

Also don't remove background information, each items even of the real life have their own background section (like Wakizashi, 9mm Mauser, M1 Garand etc.) based on various sources and not just Wikipedia that contains sometime a few mistakes and reduced to the maximun and keeping as much information as possible. I asked Gothemasticator about that when I had written them and he agreed to keep them like all other items. Itachou [~talk~] 14:41, August 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes agree for the overview page, but the background information should be kept. Gothemasticator talk about culture, here is about a weapon used around the world and not only existing in Japan, unlike samurai and its culture only existing in Japan. Also, he gave me his permission on the same day of the debate of the page Toshiro when I showed him the 9mm Mauser and the Wakizashi. I can find the discussion if you want =). Itachou [~talk~] 14:57, August 25, 2011 (UTC)

There is no strict policy on the length of a section as it provides useful information, like Arroyo or New Vegas pages. Anyway yes, may be a bit long, I will do my best to reduce it =). I send you a message when I finish for you tell me what you think. Itachou [~talk~] 15:10, August 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * I replaced some sentences softening the background section -> # - what do you think my friend? I also take care to do the overview page in the day =). Itachou [~talk~] 15:39, August 25, 2011 (UTC)

It's perfect =), yes the last paragraph speaks less about the weapon itself. Well sorry for this little debate, I'm a lover of background on anything so I try to defend it as best I can. Nice day my friend and see you soon! Itachou [~talk~] 15:55, August 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * Well after take a look, we really need an overview page for Katana? In fact, all these weapons are the same weapon in the Fallout universe unlike the two alien blasters or combat knifes for exemple and they have all the same appearance, a redirect page I think is more appropriate right? Itachou [~talk~] 16:45, August 25, 2011 (UTC)

Nice catch. All right, I continued my work on it =). I'll just separate the MZ and FNV version from the cut content version, such as the Gauss rifle beta, and create the FNV version with the name Katana until we have the final name. Itachou [~talk~] 16:58, August 25, 2011 (UTC)

Lonesome road revert
So you revert my edit, with no explanation, as if I were some vandal. In the process it looks like you've removed the only reference on the page substantiating the release date. Good one. Jdw 17:34, August 25, 2011 (UTC)

Weapon sounds
Just tried 3 in a row with the 10mm pistol (Fallout 3) and .44 magnum revolver (Fallout: New Vegas), I had no problems with shifting of the sound bars. Jspoel 17:45, August 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * The newest one from MS, Internet Explorer 9
 * I've seen it. Bad move from Yakov, hardly can believe he created the username he did, was destined to get caught. Just had to sit it out for 2,5 weeks more and he would have been home free again :/
 * Where should we put the sounds? Above or below the gallery? Till now I've done em above.

Redirect

 * Clearing up some red links
 * I've taken my info from the wanted pages and ended up here. I redirected that one and after that I got a red link to the article page. I may have done 1 too many. JspoelJspoel Vault Boy.png 18:49, August 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * Right. Obviously I didn't know that. I'll stay off the Archives pages then.

5.56mm and .223
I take a look of the two pages, and we have just discussed the matter together some time ago. The 5.56mm round page say that ".223 caliber rounds were renamed as 5.56mm ammunition in later Fallout games." and after some verification, the two have same outer dimensions but the pressure curve is different between the two and that 5.56mm round should not be fired in weapons chambered in .223 caliber.

But in the Fallout universe it's seems false, since the .223 pistol in FNV use the 5.56mm perfectly and the .223 caliber have completely disappeared in the game. Also, the probably futur Bozar will use the 5.56mm and it used before the .223 caliber, so I tend to be agree with the sentence of the 5.56mm page, that the two are the same in the "Fallout universe", and Josh Sawyer is an expert about weapons so I don't think he do anything. What do you think? Itachou [~talk~] 19:01, August 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * Haha in fact I took care of pages. Yes the two are different it's sure and need seperate page, but I add that in Fallout, only some .223 weapons have problems with 5.56mm. Itachou [~talk~] 19:21, August 25, 2011 (UTC)

The Divide's signature weapon.
http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110825151142/fallout/images/thumb/5/5e/FONV-Lonesome-Road-Screenshot-04B.jpg/185px-FONV-Lonesome-Road-Screenshot-04B.jpg That picture bears a strong resemblance to the picture for the achievement Rocket's Red Glare so I think it's fairly obvious the weapon in the first picture is the Divide's 'signature' weapon and I was wondering if it's okay to make an article for it, or is it too early? Best regards, The Almighty One

Red links
Hey, that page never got changed after renaming the categories. I'll see if I can fix the contents of the tables. Jspoel 01:09, August 26, 2011 (UTC)

Stained page
I see you removed the misc item cat from the DM stained page. I left it there because beside a note, it's also an item (see infobox). Jspoel 15:26, August 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * What do you think of adding a fifth column (V 2009 anyone?) for the event infobox by the way. Someone wanted to add The Great Kahns to the Mojave Campaign. It would become a bit small I was thinking.
 * Not bad, not bad... Allright, very good. You've let the wiki tools work for you once again. What will you think of next I wonder. Ausir will be pleased I think. About that event infobox: can't it be widened a bit?
 * (Why am I getting a bullet below my message every time) How about decreasing the font size of the infobox text just a bit?
 * Am I off with my English? Could be. Isn't a bullet the name for that star at the beginning of a list (like these posts)? Don't quite understand the map. Porter is working on that, right? Too bad about that event infobox font size. Maybe widening it just a bit then.
 * Veryyy nice. This is probably what Porter has in mind. Now just add the locations' names and a link to the location pages when you click on it and looks like it's done. Probably also adjust the width/height ratio a bit.
 * Damn, that template already exists since early 2010. If I had known about it, I would have altered the Mojave map and used the template to gain some fame ;) Probably would have saved me some work too compared to all those FNV map markers images I made when I just started here.

Fallout Answers
As you probably know, we're a bit short staffed over on the sister site. Would consider becoming an admin there and help out a bit. They have been two vandal "attacks" in the past two days, so it would be nice to have an extra set of eyes. Consider it and let me know. --Kastera (talk) 22:53, August 26, 2011 (UTC)

Fallout Answers
Hello Ghost :)

You may have heard that The Vault's sister site, Fallout Answers, recently opted for Wikia to initiate an IP block, effectively blocking all IP addresses from editing pages for at least two weeks. In the time that I and the bureaucrat have, we would like to add upon the team over on the sister site.

At the moment, there are only two users with administrative privileges who regularly are online. In order to make the site more effective and efficient, I have been tasked with finding trusted users that can take some time (maybe 5-10 minutes) from their normal Wikia schedule to keep an eye on the site from time to time. This will potentially cut down on site traffic and allow "real" questions to be asked and answered in more depth. Through my past interactions with you, I feel that the bureaucrat and I can trust you with administrative privileges.

If you feel comfortable joining the team, please leave a message on my talk page and let me know your decision. Best regards, Kastera (talk) 16:00, August 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * That's alright. Like I said to Itachou and Cartman, some help is better than none at all. BTW, your bureaucrat request looks promising. --Kastera (talk) 00:06, August 30, 2011 (UTC)

 * I've checked the PipBoy watch time in Tranquility Lane. It was actually 2:55, not 3:55. So I reverted your change again. Jspoel Speech Jspoel.png 20:48, August 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * Are you from Australian origins by any chance? You're using "no worries" regularly, very common to Australians. Always makes me remind of "Crocodile Dundee".

Last undo
That was inhumanly fast... How?!


 * True bureaucrat equipment ;). Even still tough, it said 8 seconds on mine an by the time I got to history, you'd changed it back. Even with rollback, you sir are a marvel. TheGuardianCalligraphy.pngGuardianoftheWastesTag.png

Nuka-Cola Quantum
"Real-life Strontium-90 is a constituent of nuclear fallout that can only be obtained through nuclear fission; toxic as well as radioactive, it replaces the calcium in bones." Not one iota of that statement is in the background, no matter how many times you say that. VvAnarchangelvV 03:26, August 30, 2011 (UTC)

Bad Edit
The information you deleted was not covered in the Background of Nuka Cola Quantum, nor did you do even a hint of research (i.e. googling, looking up information on Stronium-90, nor looking up the definition of toxic) before removing all of the information.

Please be more careful about this in the future.

Thanks,

-- The Arcadian Rook(talk)User blog: Arcadian Rook 03:31, August 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * I looked over the guidelines for Behind the Scenes sections and it seems that you may right to have remove it from BtS, but all of the reasons that you gave for outright removing the information were wrong, and the information would likely have been better placed in Background. Either way, at least part of the information in the entry you removed is talked about in Fallout 3 - the bits about Stronium-90 being toxic, I clearly remember from terminal entries.

-- The Arcadian Rook(talk)User blog: Arcadian Rook 03:46, August 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * Please see me in the chat. -- The Arcadian Rook(talk)User blog: Arcadian Rook 04:06, August 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * No, again you're wrong, it was Milo, not Sierra, who gives us the information about it being Stronium-90. Also I wasn't talking about any sort of deaths, a thing needs not have to have caused deaths to be toxic.  Also, the following part of the policies and guidelines sets a precedent against what you've been saying to Archangel about the real-world having no bearing on our articles:

Similarities to real-world weapons section

Similarities between in-game weapons and real-world weapons are not to be included in articles, with the following two exceptions: If there is a sourced quote from a game developer stating which real-world weapon the in-game weapon is based on. If the in-game weapon shares the exact name of the real-world weapon.

While not a weapon, it sets enough of a precedent that, yes, it *is* relevant information, especially if you're going to argue that the Stronium-90 in Nuka Cola Quantum works differently than the real-world Stronium-90 does.

Advice requested re: strategies
Hi GhostAvatar,

Could you please give some advice on where to draw the line with strategies? Is there a defined difference between strategies and "tips", or is it a case-by-case "if it walks like a duck..." thing? Just so I know for future edits.

Thanks for your time,--FourWayDiablo 16:52, August 30, 2011 (UTC)

Stashes images
I'd rather you didn't remove those stashes images, they're still linked. I moved them to the hollowed out rock page. I'm still not in favor of redirecting the stashes page anyway, it's a good page. Look for example at the mentioned-only character pages, who visits those? The lover's mark stashes page has more existing right, I'm sure. Just needs some linked to references on DM location pages and it's fine. Jspoel  18:17, August 31, 2011 (UTC)

Subsequent mention emphasis
Hello GhostAvatar,

A question about subsequent quest name mentions on pages. The guidelines say to use emphasis sparingly, but I wanted to check something with you.

After the first mention of a quest, should it subsequently be emphasised in the text with italics, e.g. Crazy, Crazy, Crazy, to make it stand out, or is this too much?

Any advice appreciated, thanks for your time. --FourWayDiablo(talk) 20:33, September 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks. --FourWayDiablo(talk) 20:52, September 3, 2011 (UTC)

Bot
Hi Ghost. I'm wondering if you could do me a big favour. Well at least I think it may be big, but I hope not. I was wondering if you could help me and Ittachou out by designing/writing a bot for my use over on the Deus Ex wiki. I would need it to mark blank and uncategorised files (the images to be precise) and add them to a category like 'Uncategorised images' and 'Unlicensed images'. That is the only two jobs that I would require it to do. I would learn how to write it myself, but I have a lot on my plate. If you don't have time, don't worry, I'll just have to check them all manually. Please tell me your thoughts. Thanks Ghost,

But I also need to do the licenses. If it picked up blank pages too, that would be perfect.

Okay then. No worries :). Thanks for you're time.

If it's not too much to ask for...

Me again
Hi Ghost, I don't suppose you'd know how to add extra licences to the drop down menu in 'Add a photo'. Is it somewhere on the admin dashboard again? It's for Deus Ex again, so don't worry about me mucking up something over here ;).


 * Done that, now how does that tie in with bringing up the license on the new file? TheGuardianCalligraphy.pngGuardianoftheWastesTag.png 17:13, September 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * That's perfect Ghost, just the kind of help and level of technical expertise one would expect from a bureaucrat. Thanks a lot :). TheGuardianCalligraphy.pngGuardianoftheWastesTag.png

Templates
Good work :) Fine example of why using hacks instead of doing things properly is usually not the best idea I guess... The hack being the mechanic used by Gamearticlelist and Infobox person to create the links which I used because I was too lazy to modify abblink at the time.

Ultimately, an update of abblink is in order so it uses your new "link" mode of abb to create the link target for "stand-alone" links (i.e. links to e.g. "Mothership Zeta") but the "text" mode to create the link target for combined links (i.e. links to e.g. "Mothership Zeta weapons"). Then any problems with links pointing to the wrong pages should be fixed globally (even with your fix, abblink-created links to add-on pages with disambig suffixes will still point to the wrong page). I'll take a look at it when I'm back, but in the meantime patching up the hacks should do the trick ;) -- Porter21 (talk) 21:35, September 5, 2011 (UTC)
