Questions for Peerless
I'm ready to clear off this page, so anytime you're available, I'm ready for an archiving demonstration/tutorial/whatever. If you don't have time or have a link to someplace that describes it, then let me know and I'll label this revision in the history and just delete most of the content off this page. And secondly, what's a sysop? Is there something they're expected to do? Dedridd 09:40, February 13, 2006 (PST)


 * I think sysop gives you more permissions in user management, as well as maybe page deletion and such. So that you can take actions if necessary. -- Tihocan 09:59, February 13, 2006 (PST)


 * Or do more accidental damage? Me good at that!! ;) Seriously though, thanks for the info. Dedridd 10:13, February 13, 2006 (PST)


 * Hehe, I actually found out more about being sysop: you should be able to edit protected pages, rollback on spammers, delete pages, and do a few other minor things like patrolling. It almost means we trust you for not damaging things ;) -- Tihocan 10:49, February 13, 2006 (PST)


 * About archival, see here: Enter:Policy/Archival - very confusing, but you should be able to figure it out. In the mean time, I will archive discussions I think are dead here. 12:47, February 15, 2006 (PST)


 * Thanks, Peerless (Yay for policy pages!). It made sense to me. I'll use that from now on to keep my own talk page under control. Dedridd 13:04, February 15, 2006 (PST)

Task List
[ ] Check on special abilities of bucklers (Dedridd). [ ] Look at 3-fingered Thad's inventory to verify the remaining exotic weapon values (Dedridd). [ ] Look into adding more fields to the ItemWeapon template (exotic/simple/martial, handedness, etc) (Dedridd).

A note to dedridd on the tasks - I added user ownership to the tasks above - that just involves putting your name (spelled and capatalized perfectly, otherwise it won't work) in parentheticals just like I did above. That way, you can put the tasks on the talk page of the page they refer to, and ANYBODY can see and complete them, not just you - however, with your name on them, you can also see a list of all of your tasks at Special:Tasks. Right? 12:26, February 15, 2006 (PST)


 * So should I move these to the talk pages of the articles they affect, and remove the ownership so others can do them since I won't have access to the game until release? Dedridd 12:35, February 15, 2006 (PST)


 * No, don't remove the name - that's so we know who added it easily. But yes, move them to the right page. 12:52, February 15, 2006 (PST)

Questions
I can't get to Peerless' or Tihocan's user talk pages nor the forums, so I hope you guys see this. Is the Search function a known casualty of the move? Sorry if you already know about it, but at this point I don't know what you know (unless there's a task or announcement page somewhere). Dedridd 13:09, February 23, 2006 (EST)
