Requests for Page Deletion

 * Any and all page deletion requests will be shown here. If you wish to nominate a page for deletion, please place the Delete template at the top of the page to delete.  Please fill in the reason with a good justification as to why you think it should be deleted.  Make sure that you add the page to your watchlist as well, as any objections to deletion will be raised on the talk page for the page to be deleted and will need discussion.


 * I see no reason to delete any of the images at this time as they have all served a purpose and could be made use of now. I'd also like to keep the Classes/ templates for now. I'm okay with deletion of the other templates. ShoeMaker (Contribs&thinsp;•&thinsp;Message&thinsp;•&thinsp;Email ) 00:15, September 19, 2016 (EDT)

Green Steel Tidy Up

 * The following list of pages are not for immediate deletion, I am compiling this list as I integrate all the information I find everywhere on the wiki into my guide: Current Projects
 * I will notify an admin when all pages have been processed, I do have a compiled list of links on my Links page I have compiled and am sifting through.

These pages once all incorporated should have their redirects forward to the initial introduction page as a starting point for those seeking information: Green Steel: Introduction.


 * Manufactured Green Steel ingredients Working On for Tier 1,2 & 3.
 * Green Steel deconstruction - Incorporated
 * Green Steel Accessory - Incorporated
 * Green Steel item crafting steps - Incorporated
 * Green Steel items - Incorporated
 * Raw Ingredient - Incorporated
 * Raw Green Steel ingredients - Incorporated
 * Green Steel blank - Incorporated
 * Green Steel equipment - Incorporated
 * Green Steel quick guide - Incorporated

 * I will keep eye on these, already replaced obvious one (Green Steel equipment) with a redirect (thats what you do, replace with redirect not just delete). I really dig your idea of replacing recipe chart with new UI screenshots. &rarr; [[Image:CRAFTred.png]] however, I do have a concern that, some of your terminology aren't helpful to us old-timers. for example "Crafted ingredient" is bad, stick with "Manufactured ingredient". "Stage 1,2,3" is the one really bad, "Tier 1,2,3" is the one more commonly used in this matter. well I guess we have to have another place for discussion but I used to put a lot of effort onto these Green Steel pages just to keep the terminology intact. I remember things around dual shard upgrade were very tricky, people were coming up with their own terminology left and right (Quasi-Focus, Aspect Dominance, Dual-Affinities, uh yikes...) GS pages are like most ancient pages on this wiki and I know they still are somewhat messed up but they are not end game anymore but twink gear for TR grind, so we probably shouldn't mess with terminology at all.  --yoko5000 (Contributions • Message) 02:57, May 10, 2014 (EDT)
 * I would recommend keeping the terminology the same too. It's what everyone knows and (maybe) loves.  Perhaps providing a small description for the old terminology to help those who are new to GS crafting...  -- Ague (Talk · Contribs · Blocks · Deletions · Imports · Patrols · Page Moves · Page Protects · User Merges · User Rights) 09:34, May 11, 2014 (EDT)

Taking on board the comments about traditional naming values for green steel crafting steps I have amended all instances of the word STAGE to the much more well known and community wide used name of TIER. Thanks for the constructive input guys, I knew full well I was rocking the status quo when I implemented the STAGE name, it was purposeful to see the uptake on it; more to check if it was a clearer was of presenting this crafting process. Its not, and thats a good thing as sometimes the old ways ARE the best ways after all, but good to check now & then. Slow going right with this project as I just enjoyed a fishing trip for a few days to disconnect myself and recharge; so its back to it !!

But on the note of the 'manufactered' description - thats has to go as a manufactured item involves production and assembly - usually bulk quantities via factories; look at Cannith Manufactury - thats why its named thus - mass production. The 'Crafting' description is much more fitting to this area as a crafted item is made by an individual from start to finish as is Green Steel.

Personal Page removal

 * The fastest way to get a page you created deleted that no-one else has worked on is to simply add Instantdelete on the page someplace. An admin will be by to delete it relatively quickly.

Requests for Page Protection/Unprotection

 * Any and all protection requests, whether to protect or unprotect, should be placed here. Please provide an explanation as to why this page's protection needs to be changed.

Template Quest and MissionInfoBox Update
The Quests page is stagnant, a mess, confusing, and bloated as all hell. :) What I would like to see is: The MissionInfoBox template's |FreeToPlay = yes/no field changed to |Pack= with a possible #switch for FreeToPlay |  . And then change the Quests link in the top Navbar to  and have DPL transclude the pertinent details.

Categorization is hit or miss. For Example, ToEE pt 2 is in Category:Quests, but Pt 1 isn't. The Quests page itself says that it hasn't been updated for 3 updates. This is the prime example of why we installed DPL...

 * Hi . Please feel free to propose actual code changes to those templates on T:Quest/sandbox and T:MissionInfoBox/sandbox respectively.  I'd probably start with the infobox first, but that is just me. Please email me or leave a notification here when your proposed replacements are ready and I'll look them over and implement. :) ShoeMaker (Contributions • Message) 14:24, April 28, 2015 (EDT)


 * In general, this sounds likes a good idea. Perhaps you can start designing your alternative Template:SysteRn\Quest and Template:SysteRn\MissionInfoBox. Then for test purposes, convert a handful quests to use your templates. Then design SysteRn\Quests as you'd like to see it, with DPL and whatnot. Demonstrate that all works flawlessly, post here your proposal - and then we switch to your version. Would this work? --Cru121 (Contributions • Message) 14:30, April 28, 2015 (EDT)
 * Yarrr... Did someone say design???  ;) -- Ague (Talk · Contribs · B · D · I · P · PM · PP · UM · UR) 14:34, April 28, 2015 (EDT)

Layout of item pages
Since few weeks ago, the layout of item pages is a bit broken for me. I now have horizontal scroll bar for all item pages. Previously, all such pages were displayed correctly on my display resolution. Now the pictures seem to no longer fit in the window. Anyone knows what I am blabbering about or should I post a screen shot? --Cru121 (Contributions • Message) 12:23, August 21, 2015 (EDT)
 * Screenshot or it didn't happen. ShoeMaker (Contributions • Message) 13:27, August 21, 2015 (EDT)
 * Here's a pic: . Previously, at this window width (and also much lower widths) the picture was displayed correctly; the frame in which the picture belongs was also displayed correctly, the first and second column was condensed instead. Now I need IIRC at least 1600 window width to display item pages without horizontal scroll bar. -- Cru121 (Contribs • Message • Email &thinsp;•&thinsp;Rights &thinsp;•&thinsp;Block &thinsp;•&thinsp;Rename&thinsp;•&thinsp; Check ) 07:09, August 22, 2015 (EDT)
 * Nothing has changed with the templates or with the site CSS that I can see that would cause that. I do plan on getting back to my T:Named Item project at some point, and I'll make sure that it is fixed before that goes live.

 * SOLVED: This behavior seems to be caused by my adblocking plugin, uBlock.-- Cru121 (Contribs • Message • Email ) 07:47, September 27, 2015 (EDT)
 * Previously I stated that the behavior was solved by disabling uBlock, it is not true, still happening. Revisiting this because apparently other ppl ran into this as well (User_talk:Technical_13/2015/4). --Cru121
 * Like I said on my talk page, it's on my to do list. I should be able to finish it up by the end of the year. :) ShoeMaker (Contribs • Message • Email ) 06:46, October 31, 2015 (EDT)
 * Didn't happen last year, but it's getting much closer to the top of my "old to-do list" which keeps getting interrupted by new stuffs. I'm about to have a new son next month, and hopefully the couple months I expect to be away from the wiki will give me a renewed vigor for this project.
