Updating edit count
Hey Taurolyon, just a heads up, some of the other editors frown on updating our edit counts for any amount less than about 100 edits unless it is enough to bump us into a new category. When the gaps start getting much larger for you, like from 2,500-5,000 or 5K-10K, every 250-500 edits is more appropriate. I could personally care less, but since I used to get flack about it, I figured I'd give you a more friendly heads up than I got. ShoeMaker (Contributions • Message) 10:04, April 14, 2012 (EDT)


 * Thanks for the heads up, Tech. I felt there must have been some taboo adding edits to simply update one's edit count, which is why I try not to update it daily. I will try to be more conscious of this in the future. Taurolyon (Contributions &bull; Message) 19:19, April 14, 2012 (EDT)

Tabs
Would you mind if I "cleaned up" your tab display on your page? Ague (Contributions • Message) 22:40, April 14, 2012 (EDT)

So far, I've had no luck, and I've been informed the custom user CSS is impaired by the custom TruGlass themes we use. I'll gladly accept any assistance you can render. Taurolyon (Contributions &bull; Message) 01:58, April 15, 2012 (EDT)
 * I poked at it one day, and seemed to make it worse, didn't I... lol! I was working on recoding them in a CSS stylesheet similar to yours. Hoping to trim down on some of the wikitable code with a simple class="divUserTabs" on the formatting line.


 * Yeah, no problem... I just wanted to ask before I went and edited your page...  if you want to use a different theme (I use Vector) I have a fix that you can put in your common.css file to make the popups work... Ague (Contributions &bull; Message) 04:33, April 15, 2012 (EDT)


 * I can't edit your common.css, so you will need to edit it to be like mine... Also, what tabs would you like? I can give you whatever tabs you desire... Ague (Contributions &bull; Message) 04:42, April 15, 2012 (EDT)


 * I thought I already put your popup fix in the global MediaWiki:Common.css that is suppose to affect everyone. I'll check it in a minute, and if not, I'll try to get it in there soon.  ShoeMaker (Contributions &bull; Message) 11:30, April 15, 2012 (EDT)

Naming Policy
Lets keep with the current naming policy for future use of shown items: "Name of Item shown.jpg". DDO_wiki:Naming_policy Bladedge (Contributions • Message) 16:59, April 17, 2012 (EDT)


 * In my opinion, the best way to ensure that people follow the correct naming policy is to work your way through Category:Items without a description image correctly applying Template:Nopic as is appropriate.  ShoeMaker (Contributions &bull; Message) 17:20, April 17, 2012 (EDT)

Great tip, Tech. I only worry that I'm going to mistype the filename when I don't click the redlink. Taurolyon (Contributions &bull; Message) 17:27, April 17, 2012 (EDT)
 * Got it, Blade.

Focus Orbs
Majority of the focus orb images have been done already including the Artifice ring. They can be found here Focus Orb. Bladedge (Contributions • Message) 12:15, April 26, 2012 (EDT)


 * Thanks for the heads up. I'll check there in the future for any other rings. It drove me crazy to get that dang ellipse to target right. Taurolyon (Contributions &bull; Message) 12:47, April 26, 2012 (EDT)


 * Gah! I should have checked there for the Zephyr too... Well.. either way, they need to be re-uploaded to match the article name. If only there was a way to change file names via wiki. Taurolyon (Contributions &bull; Message) 01:50, April 27, 2012 (EDT)


 * No they dont have to be re-uploaded or rename. All th orbs were name that why to be use universally on any pages that need them as turbine reuses art assists from time to time. One copy use universally so the user does not have to redownload and sever doesn't have to upload the same image under dozens of different names. See Talk:Focus_Orb for glimpse how it was set up. Bladedge (Contributions &bull; Message) 14:07, April 27, 2012 (EDT)


 * Thanks, Blade! I'll take a look at it now. Taurolyon (Contributions &bull; Message) 19:36, April 27, 2012 (EDT)

Redirect 'bug'
While I was updating the Greater Essence images, I noticed when I clicked the template's link greater magical essences in description, which is supposed to redirect to Cannith Crafting, however it only loads the full Cannith Crafting article and doesn't move to the specified subsection. Example: Greater Water Essence Let me know what you find out. "Tauro" (Contributions • ) 12:14, May 5, 2012 (EDT)


 * Fully works now, at least it does for me. ShoeMaker (Contributions &bull; ) 12:53, May 5, 2012 (EDT)

Just for a giggle, I tried this link... Greater_magical_essences -- this does work in FF, and pretty quick too. It seems to keep the #tag post forward, regardless of the redirect page's #tag.
 * Odd... greater magical essences (the link on the essence template) is broken under FF12 and Opera 11.62 (Mozilla engines), but Chrome 18.0.1025.168 seems to forward to https://ddowiki.com/page/Greater_magical_essences#Essences and works. Just... weird...

Maybe a test is in order? "Tauro" (Contributions • ) 00:07, May 6, 2012 (EDT)


 * I'm using FF12.0 and greater magical essences (the link on the essence template) works just fine for me. It also works using IE 8.0.7601.17514 64-bit, although there is about a 1400ms delay to jump down to the correct section in IE, there is no delay for me in FF12.

Extension Request: Labeled Section Transclusion
Any more of an update on this? I've put my S,W,P project on hold until there's a definitive answer regarding this. I don't want to do a whole lot of work until I am for sure that the edits won't be obsolete once this happens. Ague (Contributions • Message) 21:03, May 25, 2012 (EDT)


 * What was the exact name of the extension again? I seem to have misplaced it (a link would be best, I'm old and lazy)...  I would like to look over it one more time and then I'll bump the request with  for you.  ShoeMaker (Contributions &bull; ) 21:23, May 25, 2012 (EDT)


 * I'm not too sure. It was talked about on Xevo's talk page.  I'd look it up, but I'm on my phone and have poor signal where I'm at. Ague (Contributions &bull; Message) 22:03, May 25, 2012 (EDT)


 * I just looked over it again and added to an email I sent him this morning.  Maybe you'll get it soon.  ShoeMaker (Contributions &bull; ) 10:07, May 26, 2012 (EDT)


 * Sorry I haven't had a chance to respond to this sooner, in the midst of a move, and it's a bit 'o chaos over here. Yes, I haven't heard anything more than what was posted on 's talk page, to which I don't think he responded. "Tauro" (Contributions &bull; ) 11:27, May 26, 2012 (EDT)

MIA
Sorry, been moving (and fitting in some renovations).. and it's been taking me longer than expected, and my sorry excuse for a desk (some 9 year old particle board thing) didn't survive, so I've only got a few days to complete the move then I should be playing and editing more in July... On the plus side, I just got my coffee maker working again! "Tauro" (Contributions <span style="text-decoration: blink; color: #FF7F00;">• ) 09:51, June 26, 2012 (EDT)

Nodoze
Just wanted to say thanks for the advice on putting easy signatures and for creating a sandbox. I hope editing your user talk page to send a message is appropriate (sorry if not). I previewed my change/messsage and it didn't appear to mess up your page's tabs and such (sorry if it does). Nodoze (Contributions • Message) 11:56, October 24, 2012 (EDT)


 * Glad I could help. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask, or pop into the IRC channel. <span style="text-shadow: 0.1em 0.1em 0.09em #FFFF00; font-family:times; font-size:14px; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; color: #FF7C00; background-color:transparent">"Tauro" (Contributions <span style="text-decoration: blink; color: #FF7F00;">&bull; ) 12:01, October 24, 2012 (EDT)
