Promotion
Hello, I started a motion to get you promoted to Admin. If you think you can cope with the additional responsibilities - or not - please say so here. Either way, thanks for your contributions! --Cru121 (Contributions • Message) 11:05, June 30, 2015 (EDT)

CritFail;Fail;Success;CritSuccess
Don't worry too much about what words they use for now... I see the issue, I'll fix it next week with a new template. :) ShoeMaker (Contribs&thinsp;•&thinsp;Message&thinsp;•&thinsp;Email ) 11:22, July 8, 2016 (EDT)
 * Okay, so I've started by making Roll result. It takes parameters of critical fail, fail lower boundary & fail upper boundary for ranges or a single fail value, success lower boundary & success upper boundary for ranges or a single success value, and critical success.  I know things like crit fail is 5 below the lower fail boundary and whatnot... I'll add calculations to the template when I have more time for things like that when appropriate.  I'll also make a template for "Suspected DC range" or whatever it is on the end to use the values entered in the Roll result template and calculate what the minimum needed is.  Then, at some point I want to go through and make a DC row to be able to put all the information on one line and not have to type so much (so don't worry about going around and replacing everything with this new template just yet  ShoeMaker (Contribs&thinsp;•&thinsp;Message&thinsp;•&thinsp;Email ) 12:19, July 8, 2016 (EDT)
 * I wrote a proposed update to DDOip DC in the sandbox and would love to get your input Dywypi! :) I described the changes I made on Template_talk:DDOip_DC and made a testpage comparing the current tables to the tables with my proposed template update. This would merge the Roll result column and suspected DC range columns. Since you are the source of the majority of the trap DC data on the Wiki it would be pointless to move forward on this unless you liked and approved of the changes. &rArr; Kkoliver (Contribs • Message • Email ) 03:49, February 13, 2020 (EST)

Administrator offer
Hey there! It's been some time since you declined on DDOt:Administrators/promote/Dywypi despite the nomination being successful. As the only one who objected, not based on your ability or capacity as much based on the fact that almost all the active editors at the time where administrators or above and I didn't see the need to add more, I've noted that things have changed and some of our more active administrators aren't editing as much here. That being the case, I'd like to offer to nominate you myself for the permission set as I think it would be beneficial to the wiki as a whole. Being where-as you declined the previous offer, I thought it prudent to ask you if you'd be interested here first. :) ShoeMaker (Contribs&thinsp;•&thinsp;Message&thinsp;•&thinsp;Email ) 11:37, July 31, 2016 (EDT)
 * Thanks for the reoffer although there probably is less "administrator" activity; it still looks as though, the DDO Wiki is still going from strength-to-strength. I'm still quite content in my old ordinary casual robe; so I'll gracefully decline the second offer. Dywypi (Contribs • Message • Email ) 07:07, August 2, 2016 (EDT)
 * We can discuss it here. Having the Administrator bit does not require you to do any extra or more complicated work, it just shows you as a trusted user and gives you a few more tools to be able to edit through protected pages, protect pages, delete pages, and a bunch of other stuff you may or may not ever do. I'd like to see you with the tools, even if you have no intention on using them as I'm sure you'll find it handy from time to time to have a little more access. ShoeMaker (Contribs&thinsp;•&thinsp;Message&thinsp;•&thinsp;Email ) 10:27, August 2, 2016 (EDT)
 * Perhaps you should reconsider the adminhood offer so that you can combat spam effectively. DDO community need you! -- Cru121 (Contribs • Message • Email ) 09:23, November 21, 2016 (EST)
 * I'd still support you being an admin. You could kill those perversions of nature instead of just blanking the page... Come on... You know you want to... All the COOL kids are doing it. :D  &#x1f45f;&thinsp;ShoeMaker (Contribs&thinsp;•&thinsp;Message&thinsp;•&thinsp;Email )&thinsp;&#x1f45f; 15:54, December 12, 2017 (EST)
 * Ah, you were referencing: https://nethackwiki.com/wiki/Source:NetHack_3.6.0/src/pray.c#line1823. Correct, I have no love for those pitiful, undying spamming miscreants. Currently, I'm still quite content; so I'll gracefully decline the offer. &rArr; Dywypi (Contribs • &uArr; top &uArr; • Email ) 03:57, December 25, 2017 (EST)

Spam!
You can now simply wrap spam pages in ...page content... to flag them for deletion and comment out the content all in one shot. Thanks for your hard work! :) &#x1f45f;&thinsp;ShoeMaker (Contribs&thinsp;•&thinsp;Message&thinsp;•&thinsp;Email )&thinsp;&#x1f45f; 10:30, January 4, 2018 (EST)
