Green Steel Tidy Up

 * The following list of pages are not for immediate deletion, I am compiling this list as I integrate all the information I find everywhere on the wiki into my guide: Current Projects
 * I will notify an admin when all pages have been processed, I do have a compiled list of links on my Links page I have compiled and am sifting through.

These pages once all incorporated should have their redirects forward to the initial introduction page as a starting point for those seeking information: Green Steel: Introduction.


 * Manufactured Green Steel ingredients Working On for Tier 1,2 & 3.
 * Green Steel deconstruction - Incorporated
 * Green Steel Accessory - Incorporated
 * Green Steel item crafting steps - Incorporated
 * Green Steel items - Incorporated
 * Raw Ingredient - Incorporated
 * Raw Green Steel ingredients - Incorporated
 * Green Steel blank - Incorporated
 * Green Steel equipment - Incorporated
 * Green Steel quick guide - Incorporated

 * I will keep eye on these, already replaced obvious one (Green Steel equipment) with a redirect (thats what you do, replace with redirect not just delete). I really dig your idea of replacing recipe chart with new UI screenshots. &rarr; [[Image:CRAFTred.png]] however, I do have a concern that, some of your terminology aren't helpful to us old-timers. for example "Crafted ingredient" is bad, stick with "Manufactured ingredient". "Stage 1,2,3" is the one really bad, "Tier 1,2,3" is the one more commonly used in this matter. well I guess we have to have another place for discussion but I used to put a lot of effort onto these Green Steel pages just to keep the terminology intact. I remember things around dual shard upgrade were very tricky, people were coming up with their own terminology left and right (Quasi-Focus, Aspect Dominance, Dual-Affinities, uh yikes...) GS pages are like most ancient pages on this wiki and I know they still are somewhat messed up but they are not end game anymore but twink gear for TR grind, so we probably shouldn't mess with terminology at all.  --yoko5000 (Contributions • Message) 02:57, May 10, 2014 (EDT)
 * I would recommend keeping the terminology the same too. It's what everyone knows and (maybe) loves.  Perhaps providing a small description for the old terminology to help those who are new to GS crafting...  -- Ague (Talk · Contribs · Blocks · Deletions · Imports · Patrols · Page Moves · Page Protects · User Merges · User Rights) 09:34, May 11, 2014 (EDT)

Taking on board the comments about traditional naming values for green steel crafting steps I have amended all instances of the word STAGE to the much more well known and community wide used name of TIER. Thanks for the constructive input guys, I knew full well I was rocking the status quo when I implemented the STAGE name, it was purposeful to see the uptake on it; more to check if it was a clearer was of presenting this crafting process. Its not, and thats a good thing as sometimes the old ways ARE the best ways after all, but good to check now & then. Slow going right with this project as I just enjoyed a fishing trip for a few days to disconnect myself and recharge; so its back to it !!

But on the note of the 'manufactered' description - thats has to go as a manufactured item involves production and assembly - usually bulk quantities via factories; look at Cannith Manufactury - thats why its named thus - mass production. The 'Crafting' description is much more fitting to this area as a crafted item is made by an individual from start to finish as is Green Steel.

Requests for Page Protection/Unprotection
'Any and all protection requests, whether to protect or unprotect, should be placed here. Please provide an explanation as to why this page's protection needs to be changed.'

Requests for Page or User Merges
'Please place all requests for merging pages or user accounts here. Please explain why this needs to happen.'

Panzermeyer/Freewolf
Merger of the two accounts for Panzermeyer and Freewolf. Both accounts are my accounts. I would like them under one user account. I just accidentally logged in as Freewolf not realizing that apparently I had made that as an account a long time ago. Panzermeyer is the account that I have been using recently and have the most activity on.
 * I just want to clarify, you want to continue using Panzermeyer and not Freewolf? Freewolf was created on 18 August 2009 and Panzermeyer was created on 19 September 2013.  Once a user merge is complete, it cannot be undone and the old user account can be deleted completely if desired, so I want to make sure that you are getting what you want.  Also, please sign your posts using  so everyone knows who is posting.  Thanks.  -- Ague (Talk · Contribs · Blocks · Deletions · Imports · Patrols · Page Moves · Page Protects · User Merges · User Rights) 02:49, May 9, 2014 (EDT)
 * I would suggest merging into  as it has the older signup date, if it is a matter of wanting the, once that account is merged into the other one, a rename can be preformed to give you the newer name with the older signup date.  I'll need to run a checkuser to confirm that both accounts are your and you may need to log into both of them from the same machine to accomplish that.  Thanks.

 * Note: ChekUser has been completed and validates this request as both accounts have been on the same IP recently with the same userAgent information. ShoeMaker (Contributions • Message) 10:21, May 9, 2014 (EDT)
 * Note: has been merged into  and deleted.   was then renamed to .  Please let me know if you are in need of any further assistance. ShoeMaker (Contributions • Message) 10:26, May 9, 2014 (EDT)

Requests for Promotion or Demotion
'Please place requests for promoting any DDO Wiki user to Administrator or higher levels here. It can be self-nomination or you can nominate someone else. All promotions will be considered against the Promotion Guidelines of the .'

Agonshar Promotion (Self-Nomination)

 * Hello Agonshar. While 43 months old is plenty old enough, the fact that you have only made 359 edits makes me resistent to granting you the administrator bit.  I would love to, however, allow you to work on this greensteel project, yet I am unsure as to what you have found that makes you think that you need the administrator bit.  I would be happy to lower protection levels or delete redundant pages that have been properly deprecated or make edits per request based on a sandbox edit if it is a template that shouldn't be lowered.  We actually have some processes for most of these actions such as the Delete template to get a page deleted (our current deletion policy may require a post on the talk page or in some other central place to obtain a consensus before the deletion can be carried out).  As for lowering protection levels, leave me a note on my talk page with a list of things you need lowered (or pages to delete if it is taking awhile and no-one has responded).  Happy editing in the meantime!  ShoeMaker (Contributions • Message) 14:31, May 5, 2014 (EDT)
 * I have to agree with Tech on this one. I just checked and didn't see any protection listed on any of the GS pages.  While I do agree that the entire GS section is a hot mess (it took me FOREVER do get a solid foundation when I was originally coding my GS planner for YourDDO), I am fully in support of a revamp for added Fung Shue.  Anything I can do to help facilitate, don't hesitate to ask.  And once your edit count gets up there, I will fully support your promotion to an Admin.  -- Ague (Talk · Contribs · Blocks · Deletions · Imports · Patrols · Page Moves · Page Protects · User Merges · User Rights) 15:44, May 5, 2014 (EDT)
 * Thats ok - it doesn't phase me too much at all, I was listing all the varied pages for GS and thought - what WOULD make this a whole lot easier? "Oh I know - what if I could just remove/delete/edit and so forth at will on all the pages" and that led to my application, I'm not put off one bit, I'll carry on regardless as I'm here to help. But I have looked again at the links I have compiled of the pages I'll be working with and none have any DELETE options which is what I would be looking for.  That's ok though as I can mark them on the appropriate admin page here.

And I might just request that help, I think firstly I'm going to mark all the links I have as fitting into one of the pages i have outlined, why not take a look there and make sure I'm going in the right direction - feedback is always welcome.
