Welcome
Hello, and welcome to the Wiki! I'd just like to explain to you why I removed the mention of oozes being vulnerable to ooze bane on their "special traits". It is something completely obvious (that's the whole point of ooze bane), so it's not something really special. If you want to mention it, it should be added in some kind of tip section about how to find oozes (though I doubt someone would find this really informative). The reason why I think it's better not to add it is also because if we start doing that, it means we should mention "vulnerable to Goblinoid bane" on the page of each page of a Goblinoid creature, etc... It's a lot of work, and really not worth it since the weapon enhancements page states there exist weapons of goblinoid bane, and the creature page will say it is from the Goblinoid category. Same for all the other kinds of bane weapons. That's the reasons why I decided to remove these mentions. But, again, welcome, and thank you for your contributions.

Wiki questions
How do I send messages like this? I've never used a Wiki before, and I'm flying blind on how to do anything.


 * You do not "send" messages. You just edit the page like you did ;) Check out the url of this page: it is User Talk:Drydorn. You can edit the talk page of another user (for instance me: User talk:Tihocan) to communicate. Note that my own talk page is redirected on the whole Enterwiki network, you might need to register there too (not really sure if databases are merged at the moment).

Also how do I link to Category:Slashing_weapons? I can't figure it out, and how do I link a word like Slashing so it points to Category:Slashing_weapons?


 * Use a ":" in front: Category:Slashing weapons (edit this page to see how it's done). By the way, did you get my answer by email? Tihocan 09:36, April 27, 2006 (EDT)


 * I think you may be asking for this? slashing weapons are the roxor and here's why.  Edit to see the code behind.  | is the key.

Welcome!
May I extend my warmest welcomes and offer you any help you may need? Thanks for your contributions, mate!

If you need help with something...
 * ...I'm always available! You can drop a message on my user talk page (which I watch like a hawk) or grab my other contact info on my user page.
 * ...There's a wealth of wiki documentation on the meta wiki, perhaps some of it may be of use to you.
 * ...There's a really good Introduction over on meta also, it should help you figure out what's going on if your new to wikis in general.

I'd like to hear a reply! Just click Edit above, and write a message under where mine ends - then, at the end of your message (on the same line) type four tildes (Like this:  ~ ) to automatically insert a nickname linked to your user page, and a date/time signature!

Again, welcome to the wiki - and I can't thank you enough on behalf of the community for your help in making us the best DDO site around (-;

 * Well thanx for the kind welcome Elliott. Its been years since I did any programming or html, but I seem to be getting by.... My biggest problem is pulling myself away from the game to type entries into the wiki! I hope my efforts are contributing to the wiki and not causing any problems for wiki vets. /me being a wiki noob. On the topic of Axiomatic weaponry, is there a list of all monsters sorted my alignment anyplace? similiar to how the weapons are listed by their different attributes such as, 1-handed, 2-handed, slashing, blunt, etc.

 * Not that I know of, but I think it needs to be done. Since you are a self-proclaimed wiki noob, and likely to go start creating that list by *hand* if I said go do it, I'll try to lay out a path this time, then let you do it.
 * Go to every monster page on the site
 * Add this tag:  .
 * Replace 'QQQQ' with the alignment, such as for a chaotic monster.
 * Then, put this on the page :  Category:Chaotic monsters .
 * Wash, rinse, repeat; for every alignment.
 * Hope that did a somewhat acceptable job of explaining the proces to you. Elliott Cable  -  ?+¿  -  ‹·›  23:58, April 30, 2006 (EDT)


 * okay, I understand the code, and put in a few entries to test it out. But I have 1 major problem, I dont know what the alignment of any of the monsters actually is. Are there any other web pages that list the alignments? Does anyone have a monster manual with the alignment info? I don't mind coding it all, but at the moment, I have no information.Drydorn 03:38, May 1, 2006 (EDT)


 * I have no idea... weird. I thought you knew lol. Also, make sure to sign your posts with ~ so we can see who you are; and to indent your replies with colons, just like I do - always indent one more than the last poster did -: Elliott Cable  -  ?+¿  -  ‹·›  03:41, May 1, 2006 (EDT)


 * Well, easiest way to find out is using Holy/Axiomatic/Anarchic weapons on things and seeing if they do extra damage. I'll start keeping track of what mine hit Sonil 12:43, May 1, 2006 (EDT)


 * Just so you know, you need to login again, we switched domains... Elliott Cable  -  ?+¿  -  ‹·›  12:44, May 1, 2006 (EDT)


 * By the way, what I usually do is I take screenshots while playing (Ctrl-P). Or I write stuff on a notepad. I don't edit the Wiki when I'm playing. Tihocan 14:25, May 1, 2006 (EDT)
