Welcome!

May I extend my warmest welcomes and offer you any help you may need? Thanks for your contributions, mate!

...First, you may want to check out our FAQ page.

...There's a wealth of wiki documentation on the Help page, perhaps some of it may be of use to you.

...There's a really good Introduction over on Wikipedia also, it should help you figure out what's going on if your new to wikis in general.

...Don't forget to change your DDO wiki user preferences.

...We pride ourselves on providing the best and most accurate information possible and are happy to reward our editors with extra privileges for making that happen. The first step in the promotion ladder turns off the CAPTCHA edit tests and you can check out the details Here.

If you need help with something above and beyond what the links above can provide...

...Someone is most always available! You can drop me a message on my user talk page (which I watch like a hawk), grab my other contact info on my user page, or ask one of the other 18 system operators .

Again, welcome to the wiki - and I can't thank you enough on behalf of the community for your help in making us the best DDO site around Kobold worker 12:21, April 15, 2024

Hi folks, decided to join the wiki as there is a lot of new material coming out of MotU that needs logging. every hand helps. Snake (Contributions • Message) 05:16, July 6, 2012 (EDT)

Revert[edit]

I reverted one of your recent edits, as it's considered an exploit by Turbine and I think(?) those are against wiki policy.

Cdr (Contributions • Message) 15:08, April 27, 2013 (EDT)

OK, I see your point and I will leave as is. But since the item is bugged and currently binds without being equipped, I see this as a workaround rather than an exploit. I had assumed that this will be fixed when the bind bug is also fixed.

Infobox image width[edit]

I had to learn this one the hard way too - the way item pages are templated, infobox images will be autoscaled and blurry unless you crop them to exactly 420px wide. File:Helm_of_the_White_Dragon_(Level_14).png you uploaded is 415px and you can see it's blurry on the page from scaling.

You've been nominated for clown of the year![edit]

Hey Snake, I've nominated you for clown of the year should you choose to accept! ShoeMaker (Contributions • Message) 00:52, January 3, 2014 (EST)

You have the support for the promotion, just waiting on you to accept or decline the nomination. :) ShoeMaker (Contributions • Message) 13:56, January 28, 2014 (EST)

Categories[edit]

Please don't manually add categories such as C:Deception items to pages. — Zav (C·T·E) 10:52, July 26, 2014 (EDT)

Ok. But the Caegories were empty, so how do I get the items to populate the categories? Snake (Contributions • ⇑ top ⇑)

They should be transcluded by templates in most cases. In the case of Deception, {{Dmg}} should transclude the categories; however, categorization was disabled by Shoemaker because the code was creating too many Wanted Categories. I am in the process of recoding the template, and when I am done, categorization will be restored. — Zav (C·T·E) 14:30, July 26, 2014 (EDT)

Images missing from MOTU combat change forum thread[edit]

Not sure if you still care, but User:Munkenmo has managed to procure the images. See the talk. --Cru121 (Contributions • Message) 07:08, August 6, 2014 (EDT)
