Minor edits and edit summaries
Hey there. I notice you've mark a number of edits as minor of which some are more than 500byte changes and you've added no edit summaries. Please read up on exactly what minor edits are and always use edit summaries. Thanks ShoeMaker (Contributions • Message) 22:19, April 13, 2014 (EDT)
 * Got it. I was just being lazy and not using edit summaries; I will start using them. Most of the ones today have been to change pages to use Ingredient. You're right though; some of those larger edits shouldn't have been minor. -- Zav (Contributions • &uArr; top &uArr;) 23:02, April 13, 2014 (EDT)

Template:SpellPower

 * I approve. Typo in cacophony. Much better than my hack to accommodate u21 special spell powers. Idea: add a special category to all non-standard sources of spell power.--Cru121 (Contributions • Message) 00:01, April 28, 2014 (EDT)

Thanks for the help on that
Used to edit wikipedia articles on occasion, just never really used templates much.

Deletions
Please don't delete anything else until we have a discussion. I'm heading out for the day with my 2 year old, but we need to discuss the deletion process. Thanks ShoeMaker (Contributions • Message) 08:46, May 24, 2014 (EDT)
 * Ok, I won't. --Zav (Contributions • &uArr; top &uArr;) 08:55, May 24, 2014 (EDT)
 * Thanks. I went through and untagged a bunch of stuff you had tagged for deletion.  When tagging for deletion, it is required as of right now to state why you think it should be deleted on the talk page.  It is also considerate to notify the page creator or file uploader on their talk page of the request for deletion.  The whole process is fairly confusing and I do not fault you at all about it.  It is evident that I need to write a new gadget/script to simplify the process and I'll work on that.  As far as the pages by Joenuts goes, he is an admin, and I don't usually delete other admins' stuff, no matter how useless it looks (unless it is actually hurting something).  They usually had a plan for it or would have deleted it themselves (sometimes I'll poke them on their talk page to see if maybe they forgot about it).  I only had to restore two of the things you deleted (a file that has historic usage and a category that would have ended up recreated or wanted).  I'll work on writing that script and poke  again about flipping an important switch in the core php for the site to allow everyone to use it.  For now, I've gone through and cleared out the flagged for deletion category and made a couple tweaks to the templates.  I'll work on that script and if you have any questions about deletions or anything, feel free to ask me here, on my talk page, via email, on yahoo messenger, on google hangouts, whatever... I'm easy to find and I'm just about everywhere. ShoeMaker (Contributions • Message) 08:32, May 25, 2014 (EDT)
 * Yea, I just figured Joenuts forgot about the pages, so I took care of them. Next time I'll poke the admin. Some questions for you. The C:Absorption items/<"element"> are not used. You can see the subcats that are used in C:Absorption items. Should the old subcats be deleted, redirected, or just left empty? F:Metero Swarm in Action.jpg has been replaced by F:Meteor Swarm.png and is no longer in use. Does this require using a delete/instantdelete template and a discussion or can the old file with the typo just be deleted? --Zav (Contributions • &uArr; top &uArr;) 13:52, May 25, 2014 (EDT)
 * Categories shouldn't normally be deleted, and those should still be used as far as I can tell unless absorption has been replaced. If the file is unused and is properly replaced, it can be deleted (just make sure it is clear in the deletion summary). ShoeMaker (Contributions • Message) 14:17, May 25, 2014 (EDT)
 * T:Absorption does not use the subcats C:Absorption items/<"element">; it uses C:Acid Absorption items, C:Cold Absorption items‎, etc. --Zav (Contributions • &uArr; top &uArr;) 14:32, May 25, 2014 (EDT)
 * I'll have to look into that and see which works better. I had originally set it up to use the other cats, and actually think that way works better with the revisited system.  They hurt nothing to leave them for now. :)  As far as the file thing goes, I see your deletion and that is perfect by linking the replacement file. :) ShoeMaker (Contributions • Message) 14:37, May 25, 2014 (EDT)

Tabs
I notice you are now switching over to the new tab system - as feedback - has the new walk-through with all the explanation helped at all to enable this for you ?

The reason i'm asking is because its in my sandbox presently and will also have the signature tutorial alongside tit then that will all be inserted into the wiki help page under a Welcome introductory text - your thoughts ?
