Contact me
Chat is already available. I'm paying for it monthly, I'm not sure why y'all aren't using it. The initiative to move to a new server died, because nobody was contributing to the new wiki, and the 'new owner' of the network disappeared soon after 'buying' it from me. I changed contact addresses, it's all available on the site linked from my userpage. Very busy, got to run. Yoko had me contact you. 01:37, November 22, 2008 (EST)

Delete my articles
How can i delete my articles? sorry for such a noob question. if i need authorization to delete, will you please delete them for me? if you go to Recent Changes, it all those articles with QuestTabs on them. i was trying to do tabs like what i have on my user page but i messed it up. sorry. thnx man. btw, lets keep this wiki up, it'll be worth the growing pains. - Sef326 00:09, November 12, 2009 (EST)
 * Well, there is a Delete button at the top if you got the rights for that. If it's not there, that means I have to create a "request for deletion" template. If the button is more there, just list the pages you want me to delete. --Borror0 04:13, November 12, 2009 (EST)
 * thnx borror0 for giving me superuser priv - Sef326 23:31, November 13, 2009 (EST)

BAB & attack chains -- woot!
Kudos to you for tackling all the outdated tables of these. I'd been procrastinating on that from the annoying amount of busywork involved.
 * I wanted to die halfway through for how tedious it was. Eh, at least it's done now! --Borror0 20:45, November 15, 2009 (EST)

Elven Mage Template
The elven mage template (http://ddowiki.com/page/Elven_Mage) lists the toughness enhancement twice. I put a small parenthetical next to it to draw attention to it, but thought Aranticus might want to review it for completeness. (Hope I'm doing this right!) -130.86.168.91 15:35, March 22, 2010

Re: Redirecting pages
Hey, thanks for the info. BTW, how do you send a message to someone? Also, I notice that Acid spells and Acid Spells are considered different pages. Before I knew this, I created "/page/Acid_Spells" and the lower case reference does not refer to the same page. Should I delete the capital version and create the lower case version? What a nightmare I've created; sorry for the mistakes. I'm still learning the syntax and grammar of Wiki coding. --Sindarin8 01:01, April 28, 2010 (EDT)
 * Don't worry about it. i have done far worse messes when I was new. It's just that close to no one was around to see them. :P


 * Delete the capital version ( Acid Spells ) and keep the lowercase version. Before deletion, though, ensure that you have transfered any valuable information to the lowercase page. For any question about the naming policy, just check the FAQ.


 * If you want to contact someone, just post on their talk page and they will see it. As you probably noticed when I wrote on your talk page, the user will get a tiny window telling them their talk page has been edited the next time he visits the wiki (or will get an email. if he has that option enabled). A few users have the option to receive an email, as well. Visit their user page and click on the E-mail this user link at the right of the screen. Finally, in my case, you can always add me in any IM client you use. My contact informations for those can be found here.


 * By the way, you could have replied to my message on your talk page. I would have seen it. ;)--Borror0 01:53, April 28, 2010 (EDT)

Bonus XP
Curious if you'd like the amounts at which xp bonuses are provided in a quest, on the map page it pertains to. And I can see about pictures of mobs if you'll want those, I looked through a few and saw the places for them, but none had pictures. In .jpg format I would assume? Any particular size you want it kept to? Mardulo 02:51, April 13, 2010 (EDT)
 * I'm not sure what you mean with the XP bonuses. Could you elaborate?
 * The XP bonuses like Ransack 15%, 50 breakables; umm, Sack? 10%, 25 breaks; erm? 5%.
 * Mob pictures would be cool.
 * Yes, .jpg.
 * No size restriction but try to be reasonable.
 * --Borror0 21:04, April 17, 2010 (EDT)
 * Question: Do the requirements for the bonuses stay the same throughout the difficulties? I know Hard and Elite has more mobs, but does that change how many mobs you gotta kill for the Kill bonuses?  Can I run Casual and get the best numbers I can? -Mardulo 22:30, May 3, 2010
 * I've generally gotten the same numbers for the non-killable bonuses from Normal through Elite, so I'd assume Casual would be the same; just run a few with bonuses already listed on Casual to see if they match up. With the killables, however, Casual often won't have enough enemies for Conquest, or even Onslaught... and I've also noticed that the numbers required are a bit higher on harder difficulties.  Aggression will be 1 or 2 off, which will push Onslaught to 2-4 off, which pushes Conquest to 3-6 off...  Probably because there ARE more enemies, whereas traps/breakables/doors are static.  I tend to just put the numbers I've found on the highest difficulty I've checked, rather than a range.  And bear in mind that the Optionals XP is apparently doubled, percentage-wise, on Casual.  -LrdSlvrhnd 00:14, May 4, 2010 (EDT)

can't login
This is Archangelwoghd. I was trying to upload an image "iron_golem.jpg", when the system kicked me out, and I am unable to log back in. Apparently my password is no longer any good. I tried to have a new password sent to my email woghd911@hotmail.com, but none has arrived. If other folks are having this same issue, I can understand why there are so many articles lacking images! What do I need to do, make a new account or what? I was so frustrated that I considered starting a competative wiki, lol, but I feel better now, hehehehe. (I own several private servers) Anywho...what can be done about this? --209.112.222.8 16:36, June 5, 2010 (EDT)
 * Ultramonk has already replied to your comment over at Xevo's talk page. If what he suggested does not work, let us know and we will try to solve your problem as quickly as possible. --Borror0 08:39, June 7, 2010 (EDT)
 * Thanks for everything you have done, I really appreciate it. Have you given any thought to Elliot's recommendation? There is a LOT that I can do for the wiki, given the right tools. I've been involved with several wikis and I'm very familiar with the software. Here is one that I have been working on for over a year now, to give you some idea of the mods, tweaks, etc., I can offer you. Also, I've been playing D+D since 1977, and love DDO, so I won't flake out and disappear, in fact I will be on this wiki several times a day. I'd really like the chance to make a difference here. -- 21:55, June 17, 2010 (EDT)
 * Usually I wait until an user has demonstrated his or her trustworthiness and knowledge until I promote him or her. What kind of tool would you need to have access to that you don't in your current user group? --Borror0 19:27, June 18, 2010 (EDT)
 * Honestly? For one the wiki data and tools section only has two offerings, both of which are redundant, I know from my other wiki work that there can be at least 16 tools to use there. I also have to keep doing the Capcha spam-filter every time I make a change, and that's a total hassle. I thought it would go away after a few (over 50) edits, but it hasn't. I could go on, but it would start to sound like I'm complaining, and I'm totally not. In fact I'm quite happy. I appreciate your position, and I assure you I'm quite trustworthy, have 2-3 hours a day to spend, and am extremely knowlegable with the wiki software. I won't hassle you about it any further, I was only curious. Be well. -- 19:51, June 18, 2010 (EDT)
 * The CAPTCHA is supposed to go away when you confirm your email address - you have confirmed your email address, right? And, go on all you want. I won't think you're complaining. I'm honestly curious of which tools you're seeking and I encourage you to try to persuade me. --Borror0 14:47, June 19, 2010 (EDT)
 * Well, for one thing, I'd protect this page... as for the other, I'm sure you can tell that I'm auto-confirmed. I'm wary of re-confirming, because I'm pretty sure the system will bork my password again, but I'll do it if you give the order. -- 17:36, June 20, 2010 (EDT)
 * Well since it's been a moth and no response, I went ahead and tried it. It didn't work. I'm scared to log off now because I'm pretty sure the same thing has happened once again... *sigh* -- 15:41, July 17, 2010 (EDT)

Weapon focus
1) The pages 'Weapon focus', 'Weapon specialization', and 'Greater weapon specialization' only capitalize the phrase, but 'Weapon Focus: (Type)', 'Greater Weapon Focus', and 'Superior Weapon Focus' capitalize each word.

Suggestion: The former group of pages should be changed to capitalize each word, because this is the way they are shown in-game.

2) 'Weapon focus' has separate pages for each weapon type (and 'Superior Weapon Focus' links back to the original 'Weapon Focus: (Type)' pages), but 'Weapon specialization', 'Greater Weapon Focus', 'Greater weapon specialization' do not.

Suggestion: The individual 'Weapon Focus: (Type)' pages should be deleted and 'Weapon focus' and 'Superior Weapon Focus' should follow the same format as the other mentioned pages.

3) The 'Weapon Focus: Ranged' page exists, but 'Weapon Focus: Ranged Weapons' does not. I believe 'Weapon Focus: Ranged Weapons' is how the feat appears in-game, and the Compendium supports this, but I'm not sure. (This is of course true for the other 'Weapon Focus: (Type)' pages)

Suggestion: If the 'Weapon Focus: (Type)' pages aren't deleted (as per Suggestion #2), they should be moved to 'Weapon Focus: (Type) Weapons'

-- User:Smalldetails


 * 1 & 3: Usually, we try to remain consistent with the in-game capitalization and nomenclature. If you see any divergences, feel free to correct them.


 * 2: I disagree. Each weapon focus/weapon specialization is a different feat. As such, that is enough to deserve its own page. While it's best to avoid unnecessary repetition (which is why we don't have a page for each skill focus feat), the concept of weapon type is unclear to enough player to warrant a list of the applicable weapon on the Weapon Focus/Specialization's page (unlike skills, which are easier to tell apart).

 * Okay cool, thanks for the response, and especially so quickly. :) -- User:Smalldetails


 * ye, our early contributers back in 2006 did strange on capitalizing. when creating articles, basically they lowercased everything instead of following in-game descriptions. um, Borror, take a look at WoWwiki's policy pages (http://www.wowwiki.com/WoWWiki:Naming_policy and such). i think we need that kind of pages (probably brief one) since we are getting so many new editors these days. --yoko5000 01:19, August 19, 2010 (EDT)


 * It's partially covered in the FAQ but it would not hurt to create a separate page. --Borror0 04:29, August 20, 2010 (EDT)
