Welcome on my talkpage
Hi everybody, welcome on my talkpage. If you want to say something to me feel free to post it here! Have fun in Tibia ;)

Regarding the block messages
Hi Bennie, this is Maverick the hunter. I don't believe you have been in here enough to remember my name. First things first. Congratulations in your promoting to sysop... I haven't been around enough but I believe you have done a good job to earn it.

Secondly, I just saw the block records and I have seen you have been imposing assorted expiry times for the blocks you have issued. Why don't you simply use an infinite length of expiry? His account creation is blocked anyway, there simply is no point in adding these random expiry times.

On a last note, happy 2009 to you and your family. -- Maverick the hunter 20:21, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, thanks, I think I saw you on the test server, with Hunter of Dragoes (if I remember correct). About the block length, you saw that correct. Because we don't really have a policy about it, I just did it a bit random. I will discuss this with other admins, to make a standard. But if acount creation is blocked, then you are correct, no point in adding random expiry times. You 2, happy 2009 :) ^^ Bennie (talk ~ fellows) ^^ 15:58, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Template unlock request
I ask you to please unlock this template, because I've coded the "dropped by" field to be generated automatically by DPL, this would save editors lots of work.

Example: http://tibia.wikia.com/wiki/User:NeWsOfTzzz/test5

Note: Instead of the "&bull;" I can also use "," then it would look the same as before. But I think "&bull;" is looking more professional and nicer.

NeWsOfTzzz 17:06, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Bennie doesn't like you and your attitude either. Try yet another admin.

Temahk 17:59, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

You're a mind reader or what?

Stop spamming, destructive behaviour and making a fool out of yourself.

NeWsOfTzzz 18:05, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

I talk to them both on a daily basis.

I'm not spamming, just informing you about certain things. I'm helping you here!

Temahk 18:08, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Doesn't change the part about spamming, destructive behaviour.

The decisions an Admin makes must be based on facts and if it serves the community and not if he/she likes the person. Personal feelings should always be excluded 100% in that work.

NeWsOfTzzz 18:12, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

I won't say I dislike your attitude, I just think it is very funny how you do things and how people react on that. You are very eager to change things to, in your opinion, a better way and also very eager to convince people of your opinion. Ok, but to answer your question: I think Sixorish already answered. What you suggest is already suggested before and not granted because of the same reason. Wikia staff warned us a few months ago about using too much dpl, since then we are carefull when implementing it. ^^ Bennie (talk ~ fellows) ^^ 22:03, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Vandalism
Could you read what I just posted on Sixorish‎ talk page, maybe you can help me too Kwigon the sharpshooter 14:05, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Is this ok? ^^ Bennie (talk ~ fellows) ^^ 14:12, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Yea thx, ornamented axe too give it a block for a couple of months Kwigon the sharpshooter 14:44, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Nothing
You said that tibia introduced "nothing" tiles, but they also added "nothing special" when they added the arena in svargrond xD

Ooh, didn't know that. Never been in Arena. ^^ Bennie (talk ~ fellows) ^^ 19:01, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Translate
Hi Bennie... My name is Diego and I'm a Brazilian user. I use tibiawiki a lot and my friends use it too, but they don’t know how to speak English. I'm here to ask you if a can translate the Tibiawiki website or just create my own website giving to Brazilian players the information that you give in Tibiawiki. I don’t know if it is illegal so I’m here to ask you if I can do it.

So I’m waiting for your answer ok???

Thank you a lot. Cya.

Hello Diego, Of course you are free to translate information on tibiawiki and put it on your own website. I can save you a lot of work though, there are already Brazilian wiki's made. I assume you speak pt-br, the Brazilian kind of Portuguese? These links might help you: pt-br on wikia and portal tibiawiki. The last one is an exact copy and translation of tibiawiki on most pages. Good luck! ^^ Bennie (talk ~ fellows) ^^ 16:54, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Just to add that the last one, portal tibiawiki, is a supported fansite.Stradvarius http://images.wikia.com/tibia/pt/images/4/4f/Tibiawiki.png T C 17:00, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Padreia have a QUEST! Please edit that topic!!!
I don't speak english, but please, read the follow...is very important to improve Tibiawikia

The NPC Padreia ( Carlin / Master of Druids ) have a Quest if you say to her "HI" - "MISSION". The mission is stoped a new plague on Carlin ( plague of slimes ) and she brings to you a very powerful poison to complete your mission...

10:51 You see a special flask. It weighs 1.80 oz. It contains highly intensified poison against vermin. ( ALSO APPEARS A NEW LIQUID ON TIBIA!!! )

then, you must to go in the dungeons near of Padreia. there is an entrance to the sewers ( the place where have slimes, the only slimes that appears in Carlin ) and drop the poison in a pool of water...then you must to come back with Padreia and talk again "HI" - "MISSION" and she brings to you a reward ( a lot of gems = aprox. 1k )

PLease man, TRUST me, and improve the page with this information...and check with your own eyes in Tibia...

Thanks for read this...good luck!

Special Flask, The Exterminator Quest? -- Sixorish 14:09, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Maybe you can help me
Hoi Bennie, I am the creator of the german tibia wiki, and now I wanted to start creating pages, etc. there, but I got a lil bit confused creating the Template:Infobox_Item... Other templates work fine, but this one seems to be impossible for me ~.~ Maybe you can help me with this or tell me what I'm doing wrong. and yes... I read this help wikia, but it didnt help me till now... I hope for a reply here or on my talk page. yours Xomoda 20:48, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Main page and the tip
Didn't know who to tell but I know you are active alot so I gave it a shot :P

My opinion is that this monthly tip was really short (and boring ^^) shouldn't be added that by using "$name$ (message)" you will only message the person once. While using *name* you will continue message him which is relly anoying if you are asking me. Hope you got my point and thx in advance.

Nofeer 22:09, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

I totally agree with you, the tip is short and boring. This has always been an issue with our tips, if nobody thinks of something interesting there will be no interesting tip ;P I will try to improve it a bit. ^^ Bennie (talk ~ fellows) ^^ 06:10, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Ofcause, you are right about your problem. But i really enjoy readin this tips although i have to admitt i already know most of it. But this one was really short until you changed it. And hmm ... its hard coming up with new ideas all the time, but im sure you'll do it.

Nofeer 11:59, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

just a thought
hi, im using tibiawiki alot, and one thing i like is the boxes with a specifik weapons damage on specifik skill-levels, this helps me alot when i decide what monsters i want to hunt, and when to hunt stronger monsters (lately it has helped me to train my knight so it can kill dragons without much loss).

But - when i use my druid and i look up the difrent attack runes i start missing the damage info.

Since i'm not sure who to inform or how, i decided to whrite an admin instead, hoping you will reflect on my thoughts and pass on my request to the right person(s).

Tis totalis 17:21, 10 February 2009 (UTC) thanks for reading this. Tis totalis

I understand your problem, but I also think it has a logical reason. Most people don't use mainly runes to hunt, like you would use a weapon to hunt. Where a knight has a sword a druid would have a rod and a rod has a very stable damage output which doesn't need difficult calculators. To make the same damage box for runes, like we have for weapons we would need a formula, or index numbers for the attack hight. I will give this some thoughts and maybe act accordingly later, at least thanks for your suggestion anyway. ^^ Bennie (talk ~ fellows) ^^ 18:03, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for reverting the vandalism of my user page which occurred on Feb 16, I was away and didn't notice until now. -- Sixorish 18:18, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

A note
the #if tag doesn't ignore characters put in to the parser function itself, so e.g - this would always return true, and always display nothing. You want something like this:  Just letting you know so you don't lose hope and give up. -- Sixorish 18:49, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Thank you! I was just at the point of giving up :( I understand it doesn't work like I want it. What I want is if parameter is filled, then show it's outcome, else hide it. I'm gonna check up some documentation now, if I can't find a solution, maybe you can help me? ^^ Bennie (talk ~ fellows) ^^ 18:53, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

I thought you were experimenting and decided to leave it for a while. The maps should work now, an explanation:
 * (parser function ends)

-- Sixorish 19:10, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I figured that after reading this, but thanks for the trouble. I also thought the last | between true and false was required, but apparently it isn't. ^^ Bennie (talk ~ fellows) ^^ 19:13, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Another tip: if the true output is the same as the variable and the false is to be empty, you can use, omitting #if entirely. (this works because the parameter's default is empty) -- Sixorish 19:17, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

also, this change, this will resize all of the maps to 250px, it's not the max width only. unfortunately I don't think there are ways around this, other than using a 'width' parameter, where the editor would pick a suitable width. -- Sixorish 19:21, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

I know, I thinking for a work-around at the moment. I thought of this already: → true Which would result in: → true The only problem is, how does the software determines the width of the picture? ^^ Bennie (talk ~ fellows) ^^ 19:25, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

it can't, that's why I suggested a 'width' parameter for each map, if it'll be a problem. -- Sixorish 19:29, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Ok, tried that, but it doesn't work completely now. I want to do: if map exists show map, if mapwidth exists, add mapwidth. Now I have, if mapwidth exists use map with mapwidth. But if a map exists, but no mapwidth nothing will be shown. I something else, thinking atm... ^^ Bennie (talk ~ fellows) ^^ 19:44, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

another tip: Template:! inserts a vertical line, which is ignored by parser functions. It's the only way to make, for example, wikitables inside parser functions. (also works inside images) -- Sixorish 19:49, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the tip, but I don't know if I need that (maybe it would be good for the | between the image name and the 250px). A bigger problem is, there are so many }}}|{|}|{{{|}|{|{| I can hardly see what I'm doing. ^^ Bennie (talk ~ fellows) ^^ 19:54, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Image Program
Bennie, there's an unofficial program developed by some brazilian designers that creates each image of any outfit of monster or human. That could be useful for you. I'll try to make some adjustments in some outfits that misses there.

Manjyome Black - March 6th, 2009; 00:10 GMT-3

Thanks for informing, but why would I need it? It's not like we are missing a lot of images, actually we have all outfits, almost all monsters and all human (or do you mean NPC?). So I don't think I would really need such a program. ^^ Bennie (talk ~ fellows) ^^ 06:11, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

I meant NPCs.

http://xs432.xs.to/xs432/08430/1225.png <-- That's a image of the program. If you need, just message me and i give you the program. I'll help you a lot.

Manjyome Black - March 8th, 2009; 1:25 GMT-3

Your hunt template
Loving it's potential - see User:Craggles for my interpretation for the style I think it should have. If you prefer it then allow me, or change it yourself. Furthermore I think there should be a better way for handling profit, like perhaps round about figures for expenditure hourly. Say for instance a mage would spend x amount of whatever potion they're using per hour and the template then allow for that sort of input. Though subject to debate generally accepted figures would crop up; either way that section's for the public I'm talking about just setting up the template in such a way as to allow for that natural growth. Your ideas welcome.

Craggles

I'm glad you like it, although it is not "my" template, Sixorish (and others) helped a lot. I agree some changed (e.g. with style) are still needed. I agree the profit is a bit vague right now, but it is a very subjective thing and hard to measure in numbers. If you propose a good way to change it (e.g. only putting a parameter in and later, when data is improved, really use it). Using Dpl for the list is really awesome, nice to sort by lvl :) I think I'm gonna do this: First include the template on all pages, then adjusting the template itself. Then adding the dpl list to the Hunting Places page. Everybody can help! ^^ Bennie (talk ~ fellows) ^^ 08:22, 4 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I think we should deeply consider the types of parametres we can have before applying the template to every hunt page. If we don't add an unknown now then editing it later will be as lengthy. So; I agree exp and loot can't be quantified too well but they can be appromixated. So combing your good bad average system with a more numeretical system would be ideal. The dpl wouldn't work too well with it, so we'd probably have to leave it off or just add it and let users fiddle with it. The number system for example would be such that a vague sum would be be made with popular areas; like lavas caves would be 30-40k/h. Whilst more spawn dependant areas would be based on good bad avg. Wiki community would find a happy medium with it. One thing is a definate and that's seperating exp and loot from exp/loot to two exp loot parametres.Craggles

Now I have applied the template on all desired pages I'm ready to think about changing the template. I saw your proposal on User:Craggles, but I think it is too complicated, has too much parameters, for simple editors to understand. Also, people looking at it will have a hard time define all information. Maybe we can continue the discussion on Template_talk:Infobox Hunt and try to improve it with everyone else. ^^ Bennie (talk ~ fellows) ^^ 06:39, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Looks very good! You did some great things to the template. Still one thing, the exp and loot columns can't be at the end, I want the location at the end, it simply looks better, in my opinion. I will try to finish the project the next few days (apply parameter changes to other hunting place pages) and then we can maybe make a news ticket :) ^^ Bennie (talk ~ fellows) ^^ 08:22, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Ok, I did some mass contributions :P and now it's kinda done. I will put it on the Hunting Places page, I want to ask Cip if they can put a news ticket on tibia.com to promote our revised hunting places pages on one side and attract users to help us put in missing/additional values. Do you guys think this is a good idea? The text would be something like: ''Visit TibiaWiki to see our revamped hunting places pages with lots of useful information. Also feel free to improve them with your own experiences!'' Wouldn't that be nice? ^^ Bennie (talk ~ fellows) ^^ 14:38, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

An image
Hi!

I wanted to add a screenshot to the spoiler of the Ice islands quest, mission 4, which is relevant.

It is the Division of Honor on Eternia clearing the last mission.

However the page is protected, so I wonder if you could do this instead. :)

Thanks and kind regards, Stefan Oros

Bennie is away on holidays at the moment (see above), I have added your image and removed protection from those pages. It will be temporary if vandalism occurs again, but I would imagine the culprits got the hint by now. -- Sixorish 11:52, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Only problem I have with it is the DPL lists. We've already received a flak from Wikia suggesting us to minimize the usage of it&mdash;and I can't agree with them more: the page load times of pages with the lists are above their normal, and I debate the necessity of dynamic lists, given that they can be substituted. Pages which are heavily maintained I can understand, but you don't discover quests every day. -- Sixorish 22:56, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

houses - streets
i realize you have already updated quite a few houses in Liberty Bay, for the remaining you might also want to add their streets. Fortunately most of the houses have the streets in the names. Some may be on corners and have two streets, but it is not necessary to mark both. --DM ><((°> Contribs <°))>< talk to me 17:41, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Lol, I just read it when I'm just done. Can you give an example to set a standard? Must the "graphic" parameter be replaced by "images"? ^^ Bennie (talk ~ fellows) ^^ 17:43, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

"graphic" or "image" works, just like "payrent" or "city" works for the city name. Here is an example of a house with 2 streets. As far as images i am waiting for test server to get images of empty houses/guildhalls. Another possibility with images is to use a picture with multiple houses and either write in the house name/number or use imagemap to link to the other houses, like here (note i only did this because the image was already there, i just linked it and put it on both house pages). --DM ><((°> Contribs <°))>< talk to me 18:22, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Ok, that's clear enough. I also figured during the test taking images is easier, although it will still be lots of work (can't do all images in those few test days). I'll give Liberty Bay a try. ^^ Bennie (talk ~ fellows) ^^ 19:57, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

I noticed that you made some of the street pictures .png and it looks better. I am thinking to go back and convert some to png as well, at least if they are poor quality/blend the colors (e.g File:LibertyBay Streets.jpg). The remaining few streets should also have a png image. Also there are Category:Streets, Category:Streets_Images. --DM ><((°> Contribs <°))>< talk to me 21:31, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Ok, that's ok. I think jpg will loose 20% of it's quality every time you save it, png does not. We should change the policy to support it more broad. ^^ Bennie (talk ~ fellows) ^^ 07:24, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

Google index...
Have you tried this? Your site will be one in millions so you will probably want to increase your Google ranking, usually this can be achieved by spreading the word of your site (link from high-ranked sites, just try not give others' impression that you're spamming), having suitable keywords, formatting page text according to what users might search for (e.g write text to supplement the images of cars), having an appropriate title... etc. But of course above all the content is what they come for. -- Sixorish 09:15, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Well it's kinda stupid, I want to make a website, but I don't even have content yet :/ I will try the google link later, when I have something. ^^ Bennie (talk ~ fellows) ^^ 09:21, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

You don't have content? I thought your site was on cars! My bad. Although you should have thought before picking your domain name (imo).. -- Sixorish 09:25, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Onlaika does not refer to cars (if that's how you got the idea). It's like you take the word "online", you remove the "line" and replace it with "laika", laika is the first russian dog sent into space. I'm working on a logo with a dog travelling through space. ^^ Bennie (talk ~ fellows) ^^ 09:27, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Hello,

actually CM Rejana told me it is OK to create such profile.

Wyrm
Some months ago you banished me for change the Wyrm page. My change consist in that Wyrms does not drop Ornamented Axe anymore.

You can check in loot statistic, but this don't prove anythin. So you can hunt wyrm, so many as you want to and check by yourself.

I blok this monster for my friend get levels, to 60 from 80, she up only on wyrms and i did not loot any ornamented axe.

Two possibilities:

1st -> I'm the worldest unlucky guy 2nd -> They don't drop it anymore

So what i want?

I just want that you check this information, because if it is true, the value of the axe will increase and the informations should be changed.

Thank you. Caio

Eclesius - tasks and missions
I don't agree with you that this are 2 quests. Assistant of Eclesius isn't separate quest it's only information in questlog that you became his assistant. It's just like with djinn, you have message that you choose marid or efreet in factions but still quest have its own pleace. Also the Eclesius tasks have no info about them in questlog.

Btw it seems that you can't end 3rd mission :P. If you are interested i can help you. I made it.

Ok, you have a good point there (comparing with djinn quest), but on the forum there is already a request to get the eclesius tasks quest logged.

The hardest when talking with Amarie is to find out that you must tell "care each other" when she told that bugs care... next will be easy. In turn Grodrik likes beer so much that you can pull out all information from him after you buy it for him (so just woman/beer/woman/beer/woman and he will tell all you wanna know also it works not only with woman :P). Tazi 15:25, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Ok, thanks. I will try it out as soon as the server is back online :) ^^ Bennie (talk ~ fellows) ^^ 15:36, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Hello, I have a shield that's called "the shield Nevermourn".. What name should I give it's page? 13:58 You see the shield Nevermourn (Def:25).

Crazy Quebecer 17:59, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

I'm not sure, I think The Shield Nevermourn would be best. ^^ Bennie (talk ~ fellows) ^^ 18:01, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the quick answer! :) ­Crazy Quebecer 19:17, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

A question
hello.

i want to show in my profile all the items that i have. The question is, exists a template that it do this?

it's a bit tied what i want to do. i want to put all the items that exist and when i obtain them marking them with a line.

do you understand me?

User:Allu nigal 08:06, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

As far as I know, there is no template to do such a thing. You can create such a template, if you know how, or make a list manually and mark them with tags. ^^ Bennie (talk ~ fellows) ^^ 09:18, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

The Bloodtusk
I am done with this mission already. Yes, The Bloodtusk is where you show, hmm little more west ;). Thanks. Btw look Talk:Killing in the Name of... Quest/Spoiler. Tazi 11:03, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Ok, nice. What do I need to exactly see on the quest talk page? If it's the discussion you can do it higher than lvl 40, I know that, I'm a lvl 42 atm doing it.. ^^ Bennie (talk ~ fellows) ^^ 11:06, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Ok, didn't know your level. And i was also talking about ranks in paw and fur society. Tazi 11:14, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Dark Magician
I saw that you edit Dark Apprentice page. I'm asking you to see this page, that is protected too, and edit this Talk:Dark Magician. I've been hunting this guys since 8.4 version and on the last update (8.5) and I got new itens that aren't on the loot list. Thanks. Daniel.7976

Clothed Basket
Clothed Basket from your unused spirit thing IS used. It's during the Queen Cat (Tiger) mission in What a foolish Quest.  08:07, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Ok, can you give me the name of, when you look at it? Is it not movable, only usable (like the Honeyflower Patch)? ^^ Bennie (talk ~ fellows) ^^ 09:01, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Can't remember the name of it. It's like a Honeyflower Patch.

Loot stats
I have quite a number of unsorted loot "stats", I was just wondering if you knew of a good program or anything that could perhaps sort out what dropped what. I'm aware of TibiaMLs loot calculator but then I would still have to filter through the monsters. All my stats are from before the update so, do you think would it be worth sorting them out still? :) beejay 20:23, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

To answer your first question, I don't know a program for that. What I wrote on Help:Loot Statistics is pretty much my own experience. Well, I use another program (jEdit) which shows line numbers, so you can see how much kills you have at once. I certainly think it would be worth sorting them out, when we have accurate loot statistics of every monster, we can add a line in the item template to show how much kills are needed to get the item, that's pretty much the whole goal of the loot stats. So the more stats, the better. ^^ Bennie (talk ~ fellows) ^^ 20:51, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

If you have no luck finding a program to suit your needs, Temahk's suggestion of using Notepad++ should do. It isn't specifically designed for this, but it has functions which should get the job done. I'll write a 'how to' on your talk page in a minute (don't want to waste space on Bennie's talk page). -- Sixorish 21:20, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Loot stats (2)
Hey Bennie!

Have a look here regarding the thing we talked about. I left Beejay a message to try some of his logs, to make sure it is accurate. But it analyses your log file just fine :)

I am unsure as to what should be used, the left or right box. Or maybe a mix of the 2, e.g. just the gold "stacking", not any other item. Oh and it doesn't add platinum coins or crystal coins on the gold count, will change that tomorrow... Any suggestions are welcome of course, but I guess the basics are done!

Temahk 02:00, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Awesome!!! In less than 4 hours (the tiny night hours :P) I tested another log from test server, and it looks fine to me (a log with ~20 different creatures). Now some analysis:
 * I prefer the right box, all gold coins should be added together (dunno for other items but for gold coins I'm sure).
 * you can keep plats and crystal coins separate, it is also separate in the loot description of a monster, people like to know it separate.
 * Actually I'm still thinking of modifying the loot template to show the average gold instead of the total amount of gold coins, which is, in my opinion kinda irrelevant.
 * There should be a button on top or bottom of the page to go back to the input field, in case you want to paste another server log.
 * Besides the submit button below the textarea a reset button?

Well, that's all I can think of right now, I think it is really cool, especially the fetch time in so many digits :) ^^ Bennie (talk ~ fellows) ^^ 06:53, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Do you really want to host it on your server? You've always told me to keep it secret (presumably for that same reason) -- Sixorish 07:15, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

I don't intend to make it publicly available on that server (yes it is now). But I mean, I don't want that link posted on Template:Loot for example. I'll just delete the file once I'm done testing and find a free host or something. Temahk 11:27, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Protect Quest Pages
The new quests are still geting updated with good information, I dont think is ok to protect them right now. Kwigon the sharpshooter 20:25, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

If I did it correctly, they are only semi-protected. You should be able to edit them, maybe you can test this? ^^ Bennie (talk ~ fellows) ^^ 20:28, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Well it worked for me, :) does this apply to all pages in sixorish/protect? beejay 20:40, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Yes, it does. Those stupid vandals are quite annoying though, some people still see the vandalized page, even after it has been reverted, dunno how WE can do anything to help them. ^^ Bennie (talk ~ fellows) ^^ 20:42, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, thats a shame. I had to log in to see the page without the vandal edits. I just wonder what is so different about being logged in and not.. beejay 20:44, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Why delete my redirect page?
Why would you delete my redirect page? When someone searches for me on tibiawiki, they're not going to use my username because no one knows it- they know my main character name, which is Ripkrieg. The Ripkrieg page redirected to my user:Ripstein page.. What's the problem?

--Ripstein 08:57, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

We have a policy which doesn't allow user pages out redirects to it, outside the User namespace, that's why. If people want to search your userpage, they can search for User:Ripkrieg, if they are looking for your char Ripkrieg, they should look on tibia.com ^^ Bennie (talk ~ fellows) ^^ 15:42, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Ok. But no one will think to search for user:Ripkrieg [instead of just Ripkrieg]. I'll have to put a link in my tibia.com profile comment that points to my wiki page.. It's a significant shortcoming of this website that your username has to be the same as your main character's name, otherwise it will be difficult for people to look you up. I could move my entire user space, but I think that's against the policy too. Maybe my best option is to delete my account and create another one named Ripkrieg. But I'll have to make yet another one if I start playing another character... What makes this website great is the ease of looking things up. --Ripstein 19:10, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Have you even tried just straight searching your username - wikia finds your user page just fine. 11:47, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, Craggles- That's not the problem. I wanted people to be able to find me by searching for my character. The point is that they know my character names- not my tibiawiki username. --Ripstein 08:39, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

comb
I wonder if it could be better to move the page Comb to Comb (Mermaid) and have the page Comb with a tiny description of what a comb is and 2 links one for eclesius comp and one for Ishinas comb, I think that would be less confusing, agree? --Kwigon the sharpshooter 18:08, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Moved, fixing the thing now. ^^ Bennie (talk ~ fellows) ^^ 18:30, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

questions about edits
When u find a user that was created just to vandalise pages, can u undo all his changes with 1 clik, or u need to check everysingle page he edited and undo his edit like normal users? Maguu 07:51, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

He has the rollback permissions, which allow him to undo an users edit with a single click, rather than multiple clicks like we ('normal users') have to do. Temahk 08:21, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

I usually go to the Special:Contributions/ page, which lists all their vandal edits. I look which edits are on (top) and I click [rollback] with right-mouse button, then open in new tab, this way it is done in one click, fortunately firefox doesn't crash if 60 tabs are open ;) Then press F5, and if there is no edit on top anymore, I know everything is reverted. There is no faster way, I think. ^^ Bennie (talk ~ fellows) ^^ 15:21, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Keylogger Vandal
Wodofilex

Is adding a link claiming to be a keylogger scanner to every quest page. I'm guessing it links to a keylogger virus.Miltonr 00:24, 17 July 2009 (UTC)Miltonr

Thanks for reporting, DM blocked him, we'll need to protect the quest pages again. ^^ Bennie (talk ~ fellows) ^^ 05:07, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Concerning hackinglinks
Hello! I see you are an ADMIN, and I noticed that someone has editd a few pages saying that Tibia Wiki and TibiaBR started a project to prevent people to e hacked, and is posting hack links at the the Wikia, an example of te link can be find at: http://tibia.wikia.com/wiki/Throwing_Star_Quest/Spoiler

Hope it can be solved before people start to click on the links!

Thanks!

Also Dark Magician ‎is normal to lifedrain, hey do you know what is the template {clear} used for? --Kwigon the sharpshooter 16:59, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

You didn't get the explanation on Template:Clear? In easier english: it forces a monster or npc list to start below e.g. hunt or geography template, instead of left to it. Try removing it, and previewing, to see what it does :) ^^ Bennie (talk ~ fellows) ^^ 17:06, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

The Isle of Evil Quest: needs a big warning, alot of people are losing the boss items because of a bug, it may be caused if you kill the Evil Mastermind and then try to kill and loot the other bosses or if you take too long to do the quest or if you skip a boss by going up (but not down because I did stair hopping and din't lose all the items). --Kwigon the sharpshooter 16:07, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Hello There!
Hey... i saw a pic here that u added of lord'paulistinha there he use bot xD and its looks realy stupid...

Thanks for that info, I can do nothing with it :) ^^ Bennie (talk ~ fellows) ^^ 04:25, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Infobox Creature
Basicly the lines do this:

if summon is bigger than 0 -> include category if summon is anything else -> do nothing

The #iferror surpresses the error generated by #ifexpr if summon is no number.

Temahk 15:39, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Ow, it checks the amount of mana set on the summon parameter, I was just not thinking :) ^^ Bennie (talk ~ fellows) ^^ 15:41, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

congratz
Bennie CONGRATZ for your promotion to Administrator and bureaucrat. Maybe you can clarify what is a bureaucrat i searched everywhere in tibiawiki and didn't find anything else than the npcs in POI quest--Maguu 17:34, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Thank you very much, but technically almost nothing changed. A bureaucrat is an administrator, only a bit higher in rank since he/she can: go to Special:ListGroupRights and scroll down to see yourself. Of course, the word bureaucrat has a completely other meaning in real life, it's one of those dudes giving forms and stamping them (which I rather not want to be). ^^ Bennie (talk ~ fellows) ^^ 17:49, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Not be affected by rate limits (noratelimit) (whatever that may be)
 * Can add groups: Bureaucrats, rollback and Administrators (adding rollback is my only intention)
 * Can remove groups: rollback and Administrators (maybe remove rollback if needed)

broken link- old mintwallin quest
Bennie, i noticed the page "old mintwallin quest" was deleted because it was actualy a daily respawn instead a quest, but there are 51 broken links to that page, would it be correct to redirect that page to Kingdom of Kormarak Respawn? Maguu 16:31, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

Vandal Zeppelinrox‎ messed rubera page
That user was created just to mess rubera page. He didn't mess other pages but later that accoutn might be used to mess other wikis, as it seen to be a acccount created just to vandalise. --Maguu 00:17, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

I saw your approach on this user and looks like it was the most appropriate, since his comments can be consider more likely to come from a new player instead of a intentional vandalism. Keep on with the good work. --Maguu 05:13, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Thank you :) ^^ Bennie (talk ~ fellows) ^^ 15:12, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Comb
Could you please move comb pages, they protected, Mermaid comb to Coral Comb and Eclesius comb to comb, those are the right names. --Kwigon the sharpshooter 18:16, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

I've moved mermaid comb to Coral Comb, but Comb is currently the disambiguation page for the two. -- Sixorish 19:03, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

I thought both were called Comb, did Cip change this lately to avoid scamming/confusion? ^^ Bennie (talk ~ fellows) ^^ 19:23, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Another thing i marked a page for deletion because guy was using wiki as trade board but it hasn't got deleted yet, in case you could check it out:http://tibia.wikia.com/wiki/User:DobromilWorldTrade --Maguu 04:26, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

I've blocked him and deleted that page. Technically we didn't have a policy against his user page contents, but I suppose TibiaWiki:User Page Guidelines can be put in effect. -- Sixorish 04:50, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
