Archer Ranger vs Fighter
Hey, I hope I am doing this right. I think I found an error with an edit you made on a page (I_would_like_to_create_an_Archer._Should_I_pick_a_Ranger_or_a_Fighter%3F). On the page describing whether to choose Ranger or Fighter to make an archer you note that the Fighter should take "Fighter Extra 14 Two-Weapon Fighting" feat even though the build includes Ranger Level 2. Ranger Level 2 includes Two-Weapon Fighting for free, so I think listing this skill here is a duplication. What do you think?--Rinimand 18:02, January 27, 2011 (EST)
 * oh ya thats right. just corrected it, i wasn't serious on that ranger18/ftr2 build idea anyways so feel free to add your thoughts. --yoko5000 20:41, January 27, 2011 (EST)
 * Great. I haven't perused much of the suggested "builds" on the net, but I am coming up with my own home-grown Rogue3/Ranger6/Fighter11 which I hope is an alternative to your Fighter-Archer idea. Ever since the PnP days I've like the idea of an Archer but wanted to find alternatives to the cookie-cutter "Ranger=Archer".--Rinimand 15:21, January 28, 2011 (EST)

Summons pics, Home
(Sorry if I'm posting in the wrong area) Next week or so ill be putting up pics of the Black bone series of skellys for Pale Master and I know ahead of time that when I put the pics in I will butcher (to put it lightly) the Pale Master page because the pics will push everything around so if I don't figure it out (wiki tends to hate me) your probably going to have to fix it if you want to keep the pictures there(just a heads up). Thanks for fixing my previous posts too.

Also you might want to put a few pictures or some eye candy on the main page it looks kind boring and probably repels some new players at first glance.

Ohh I like the new homepage :D --


 * I like the new Home page! Looks good, got some gorgeous pictures there. -LrdSlvrhnd 16:16, February 7, 2011 (EST)

Cauldron of Sora Katra loot
I just created a Category for this by the simple expedient of copying the Recipe Table from the Cauldron of Sora Katra page... and then I turned that into a category link. Now, this seems like it's a fairly major change, so I figured I'd let you know just in case you happened to miss the two big changes right there in a row and wanted to "ack, no!" and undo it. It LOOKS like it should work, but I'm not 100% positive... but I was getting tired of seeing all those red category links at the bottom of the weapon pages! -LrdSlvrhnd 02:47, February 9, 2011 (EST)
 * fair enough, yea i think its time for us to implement rules and template functions for those kind of crafted items. you know its not just sol katra items, there are epic items, maber items as so on. --yoko5000 03:06, February 9, 2011 (EST)

Category for upcoming Event Items
I tryd to do the same as LrdSlvrhnd for the upcoming birthday Event. I already created a page for the details of the Smugglers Rest Event however I struggle a bit with the Category of the items. The page of the Category:Smugglers Rest Event Items exist, but somehow it doesn't seem to recognize it as a proper Category. At least at the bottom it claim 'This category currently contains no pages or media.' and the main page miss the Category link. What do I wrong here? --SisAmethyst 19:57, February 10, 2011 (EST)
 * nothing will show up on the cat list unless you create individual item pages and tag em with . for this kinda item categories, we have auto categorying function, on item templates, for chest loot and reward items but not for event items yet . just tag em manually for now. btw, i prefer Category:Smuggler Rest event items but its not like i cant live with it so its up to you. --yoko5000 20:57, February 10, 2011 (EST)
 * Yes, thought something along this, but it was late in the night for me :) ... I don't really care about the Category Name as long as users can find the needed information. It seems that the general Syntax is to keep 'reward items' small, so I am absolutely fine to change this ;) Thanks for taking a look on it ... SisAmethyst 12:36, February 11, 2011 (EST)
 * Btw. adding all those new items I stumbled over False Life (enhancement) not including the Superior False Life. Only problem is that it currently only show up on Epic items like the Epic Dusk Heart and not as an item suffix of general loot. So I can't really make use of the template over there. So I added it as a manual remark. -- SisAmethyst 19:23, February 11, 2011 (EST)

Uploading a new version for an existent file...
For some reason I can no longer upload new versions for existent files (the option to do so is gone from the file pages) and deleting files is no longer possible either. Can you look into it? I suspect it has something to do with the merging of img.enterwiki.net with ddowiki.com. -- by Mjoll 03:15, February 13, 2011 (EST)
 * I ran into the same problem as well. The best way around it is to just upload a new file, use the same name as the old file, it will find it and when it's uploaded... it will replace it.--Delphis 04:05, February 13, 2011 (EST)

Broken links to Enterwiki
I came across some broken links to Enterwiki. Especially in some templates like Template:Wikify. As the original source seems to completely missing I recreated the page Wikify and How to wikify a page with links and references. Maybe the info in 'Wikify' can be moved to an internal Glossary or directly link e.g. to the Wikipedia Glossary. But as the page seem to have existed as such before I just recreated it. -- SisAmethyst 15:18, March 5, 2011 (EST)
 * jsut checked em out, cool. way better than what we actually had on enterwiki. --yoko5000 18:14, March 5, 2011 (EST)
 * Thanks for the feedback, still need some fine tuning. To be honest I never really saw the original version :) --SisAmethyst 16:21, March 10, 2011 (EST)

enterwiki.net
Hey, it looks like the domain registration for enterwiki.net expired and was bought by a domain name reseller. I never actually owned that domain name. I don't think there are many links that go to the old meta.enterwiki.net, ddo.enterwiki.net, or img.enterwiki.net. I am working on finding any that are left. If you see any let me know though, because the links will now be completely broken. --Xevo 16:42, March 6, 2011 (EST)
 * ya, been working on that, announced that on DDO forum as well so we shouldnt have too much trouble. oh btw and one guy on the thread asked to changing font color on the search bar, can you take a look into that as well? --yoko5000 01:07, March 7, 2011 (EST)
 * We can use the search function to get most of them I guess. As I entered 'enterwiki' I got still about 1000 hits, but not all of them are links thou --SisAmethyst 16:19, March 10, 2011 (EST)

magnitude 8.9 earthquake in japan
im safe and back home. everything getting back to normal (finally). things were quite adventurous. mission completed. xp awarded. --yoko5000 23:39, March 11, 2011 (EST)


 * Good to hear! I hope you got more than a crappy masterwork longsword for a reward.  Hope all your friends and family are OK also. - LrdSlvrhnd 23:50, March 11, 2011 (EST)

Please fix the sandbox
People like Shoemaker are getting a bit crazy on history/Category:Treasure_of_Crystal_Cove_loot I know a few people never use the preview button, but it can get a little out of hand.

Give them a little sandbox to test their stuff in. Neouni 16:17, March 21, 2011 (EDT)
 * we most def need a better way to do that page. how about separating hat upgrades from item listings? i dont know what you mean by "sandbox", cant ppl do that on their user page anyways? --yoko5000 20:00, March 21, 2011 (EDT)
 * oh now i see what you mean on tech13 part... you coulda hit his talk page. dont be shy giving shit to people when you need to! shit happens, deal with it. --yoko5000 23:02, March 21, 2011 (EDT)
 * I do use the live preview button, and it works great for everything except table sorting.. The only way to test sorting as far as I have found is to post the page and see how it loads..  As far as the Crystal Cove page goes, I believe it will need to be divided into multiple sections or it is going to get HUGE.. Tables are so much easier to read than the alternative that was there..  Even Neouni was having some issues there in getting the tables to display properly, I would have much more appreciated a note in my talk page then getting blocked for two hours which forced me to use notepad to create the other stuff I wanted to make..--Shoemaker 23:42, March 21, 2011 (EDT)

no, i wasnt talking about tables. i was talking about this! scroll down to weapons and stuff. and i didnt ban you?! dont bring everything to me lol. you know, gahh! im at work! you and neo need to talk directly --yoko5000 02:22, March 22, 2011 (EDT)

Category:Treasure_of_Crystal_Cove_loot
For some reason linking to seems to be causing a display issue on the epic tier.. There are extra carriage returns somewhere causing two extra line feeds in efficient metamagic.. I've tried finding and fixing it in Ornamented_Dagger and Template:Efficient Metamagic to no avail.. I'm going to let someone else take a look before I mess things up.. Posting this on talk page for Treasure_of_Crystal_Cove_loot as well. -- User:Technical 13 14:57, April 2, 2011 (EDT)

Vertical Alignment
Keep wondering why the tables here, have it turned at top by default, while other wiki systems like mediawiki for example have it at center ?

Example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Tables#Vertical_alignment --Neouni


 * show me example on this site plz? how is that when you add "?useskin=sparseman" on the url (or use sParser mode link on the toolbox)? if it changes that then thats because of elliott's truglass skin, which is default skin of this site. you can change it by going into Special:Preferences. however many of html codings (such as pyxe tables, hoverover popups) get broken with non-default skin so we kinda have to go stick with it, for now... (see User_talk:Xevo) --yoko5000 00:26, April 4, 2011 (EDT)
 * oh i see it now, this and this huh? lol --yoko5000 00:50, April 4, 2011 (EDT)
