Welcome and note
Welcome to the wiki, and thanks for all your contributions! One note: you don't need to have a colon at the beginning of a wiki link unless you're dealing with categories, and only then if you're just providing a link to a category, like Category:Armor for instance. If I put that wiki link on a page without the leading colon, then that page would be a part of the armor category. While it doesn't break anything to use leading colons on non-category links, it can be confusing to others who look at your code. No harm done, this is just an FYI. Keep up the good work! :) Dedridd 15:48, March 10, 2006 (EST)

Naming conventions
Hello, please visit this page to familiarize yourself with the naming conventions on the Wiki (yes I know, they are not applied everywhere, unfortunately). Tihocan 15:51, March 10, 2006 (EST)


 * You're close! You don't need the Passive feats page (which still violates the naming convention, btw). If your intention was to create a definition page for passive feats, it should be named Passive feat (singular). Nor do you really need to redirect on the :Category:Passive Feats page. Just blank all the content on it, and one of the sysops can delete it. All you're missing is to put a tag on the Category:Passive feats page, and you're all set! Dedridd 16:38, March 10, 2006 (EST)

Categories
All feats need to be in the Feats category, as well as Passive, Active, and/or Warforged. Otherwise you won't get a nice, full list of all feats in the game when you go to Category:Feats. So go ahead and add Active, but don't remove the regular Feats category marking, please. Dedridd 16:54, March 10, 2006 (EST)


 * Excellent! And thanks for cleaning up all those feat categories. They're much easier to browse now. Dedridd 18:02, March 10, 2006 (EST)


 * I second. Good work! Tihocan 14:42, March 13, 2006 (EST)

 * No problem mate - you got it first try (-:

Improved Shield Mastery
Can I inquire where you got your BAB +8 prerequisite information for I.S.M.? I've been trying to figure out why my level 3 paladin couldn't choose this feat when the only prereq listed in the game was the Shield Mastery feat. There's even a thread about it on the ddo forums, and no one seemed to know what the deal was with it. If you have a confirmed source on this, then you're my hero. :) But I really want to make sure that this is verified information before I post about it on the ddo thread and link to the wiki. Dedridd 09:07, March 23, 2006 (EST)


 * I was going to ask the same question. When you change something that differs from the official DDO website, could you please write down in the Summary box of your edit where you got it from? This will allow us to be confident about the change. Thanks! Tihocan 10:37, March 23, 2006 (EST)


 * I asked a GM why my paladin couldn't select the feat at level 3. They asked around and told me that this was the correct requirement and that the official documentation needed to be updated. W4rma 18:40, March 23, 2006 (EST)


 * Ok, thank you for the clarification! I'm going to continue to search for some someone who has in fact been able to choose this feat after hitting BAB +8. I'm wondering if this is programmed as a fighter-only feat, similar to Weapon Specialization. And others have said that this feat was never selectable in beta. Hopefully we'll find out the whole story some day... Dedridd 08:48, March 24, 2006 (EST)


 * Update: I should have read all my emails and private messages. I talked to the author of a very well written Paladin guide (which we have a copy of on our site, yay!) and he said he was able to choose this feat on his paladin at level 6, which would mean the BAB requirement may be only +6. I only trust GM's so far, especially if he had to ask around to get the info. I'm going to put a note on this saying there is some sort of hidden BAB prerequisite, and the actual value is unconfirmed. Dedridd 09:02, March 24, 2006 (EST)


 * Dedridd, have my babies! You get the best info - one of the best resources this site has. Good god man, kudos to you for all your hard work!


 * Graal, Developer: Improved Shield Mastery requires a Base Attack Bonus of +8 and Shield Mastery. The prerequisite description will be updated to show this. Sorry for the confusion. W4rma 06:40, April 2, 2006 (EDT)

Paladin enhancements
Hey, someone has modified some Paladin action boost data here, that conflicts with an edit you had made earlier. Any way you can check it out? Also, best would be to report any experiment on DDO information project/Enhancements, so that it can serve as source. Thanks! Tihocan 10:15, April 28, 2006 (EDT)
