Mimics
Question answered on my talk page. I didn't summon on test server, I summoned on real Tibia... What was it? 7.4?

Hey Dm
April 21, 2006

About those keys you were wondering about. 39** series keys were for guild halls, so most likely the large majorty of them were for the merc tower, or Red rose guild hall. But there used to be a flat + some odd buildings on fibula that made use of the same series of keys. The alpha keys were for areas when the game was in alpha, and were not flat keys. I don't have any concreate numbers on flat keys themselves but I know they were also in the 00** series of keys, 0013 was lady rebel's house key from when she owned a flat (to the best of her memory)

Shapeshifter

Hi there
About Shop page. I have no idea where the prices at Nah'Bob you took from. Some items are terrible mistake eg Cape, Doublet, Jacket, Golden Armor, Halberd - 9k/30k ?!

Umc

When i made the page that information was correct. yea i did make a mistake too, :P. The code for that page is very big and easy to mess up, soon i will update it, thanks. If anything else is incorrect you can edit it yourself or tell me the correct information to edit, since the code is rather confusing. I am still gathering all the info i can. thanks for pointing that out --DM

Furniture and other stuff
DM, in response to your idea (which was a good one!), I made a prototype of what I think you were talking about. Check it out at TibiaWiki:Playground/Containers. Since most of these items are not dropped by any creature (or we don't care if they are dropped by them), it has the list of sellers. I think this will help to reduce the clutter and ugly long lists on some of the npc pages. I also made one that has a buy AND sell list (TibiaWiki:Playground/BuySell List), which could be used for stuff you can sell back to npcs (not just buy from them).

Anyway, check it out and please make any suggestions... or if you have some other ideas.

I like your idea about teh buy sell list, but i'd like it more if it ONLY showed the BEST places to sell things, since, that's what everyone wants, right?

Cameri 22:21, 13 February 2006 (CST)

Well, it's true that the best places to buy/sell stuff is more desireable, but especially for free account players it is important to have all options. Not really an issue for furniture, but for everything else. Also, if you have the option to buy something for 10gp more in your hometown, or pay 150gp to travel and buy it, I would just stay where I was, instead of spending more money on the travelling.

I also like the lists. I'm sure that there are some problems that will come up once we start implementing them (especially for those furniture npcs, their lists are so long), but I'm sure that there is a good solution to this.

Moving pages
I know you know this, but you must have just forgot when you updated the Templar Scytheblade page. If a page is misspelled, the page should be moved instead of copying and pasting the content in the new page. It automatically creates the redirect for you, and the page history is moved with the content (it also moves the talk page if it exists). It's just a better way to do it.

08:02, 13 February 2006 (CST)

Sorry i don't redirect things like that much and must have forgotten that or something. All my sources show its spelled 'scytheblade' but others thought it was spelled 'schyte,' i am just curious as to how they got that. --DM  ><((°>  Contribs <°))>< talk to me 10:02, 13 February 2006 (CST)

It was probably just a mistake when the page was created. There are still quite a few mistakes in the wiki. I come across them almost every day, and fix them when I can. Please don't think I am trying to discourage you from making updates!

hello
I haven't been to this site in ages, but I came back to check up on it. I've left a message for everybody on my userpage. Try to spread the message to anyone who's still active. &mdash; Rune Farmer 03:41, 19 February 2006 (CST)

TibiaWiki en Español
I finally decided to start a Wiki for Tibia in spanish. I've gathered some people to help and I've been in touch with the staff of Tibiamx.com.mx

I have almost everything set (in the technical part). Now I need resources of information. Of course that this Wiki will be the first resource for many aspects, as the info itself as the metainfo of the Wiki (templates and such).

So, the question for you, as admin here, is:

'''Do you think that would be possible to take some of the information containted in this Wiki to used in the new Wiki in spanish? '''

We'll make a lot of translations from the english articles and I'd be great if we could take some of the Templates and (of course) the images aswell.

I already left a message to Erig, to ask him for permission.

Technomancers
There is a list of technomancers but comment to this list forbid to put visible comments. How to attach comments then? I created additional bacic page with comments but Im not sure how it should looks. Any idea?

Editing of other People's Profile
Well I've received your message on the Editing others' profile thing. I'm sorry about that. I've only done that to allow my friend Rosie & Lethal'Hunter to understand and make use of the template efficiently.

Isle of the Mists
There are 2 pages - Isle of Mists and Island of the Mists. According to tibia.com maps, correct name is "Isle of the Mists". All information are on "Island~" so maybe it's possible to move/redirect "Island~" to "Isle~"? I'm not experienced enough with moving/redirecting pages :/ ~User:Jura~

Rook Depot
i added some info to the Rook Depot page and you removed it. i want to know why. maybe i wasn't following the site's rules. if i did, I'm sorry. but i would like to know what i did wrong. if you look at tibia's main page, you'll see them mention it.

-

got it. sorry for the inconvenience..

@ vandalism on Lucera article
I dunno if you have noticed it already, but the Lucera page is being the target of continued vandalism, by more than one editor I feel that someting should be done about it.. perhaps locking the page against edits, or removing the reference to the guild which might be the cause of the erraneous edits  hope you can do something about it. bear hugs,

GH templates
Thanks DM for your response about my suggestion for the guild hall template, I just didn't know it existed, thanks again. I'll be updating some of the guild hall pages.

Objects Page
Hey DM, just wrote these few words to ask you for your help to help us complete the Objects page :) We need images, maybe refinement on those category names, more items to be added, well, check for yourself. Thanks in advance!

What's the point of Depot (Object) and Mailbox (Object)? I don't think there's any moveable depot and mailboxes, I think it's useless to make double page about those objects...

--  &dagger; Pudd Knight &dagger;  Talk  Contribs  -- 17:29, 1 February 2007 (PST)

Hmm, you make a fair point. I think i will just compromise them in the template but under the name without (Object). --DM ><((°> Contribs <°))>< talk to me 18:36, 17 April 2006 (CDT) 17:45, 1 February 2007 (PST)

about the pirates edit
The Lethal Lissy doesn't have 3 'L's (nor 'T')... Ron the Ripper doesn't have 3 'R's .. nor do these names ahve any 3 leter repetitions that's why I removed it  Nagatho Goldenflag   Talk  Contributions  14 February 2007 - 01:01

Strictly speaking, The Lethal Lissy does have 3 L's, and Ron the Ripper does have 3 R's, even if they are not the first letters of the words.

Aside from this, it's a pretty insignificant piece of information, and does not have any large bearing upon the game or players.

More about the shops
I noticed some blaring discrepencys in your shop page, (spike sword cant be bought in venore for 85) as well as a total lack of fibula loot (hatchets, bows, xbows) please contact me if you're interested in my opinions on how a shop/loot page should be organized

I agree, modifying every weapon page and creating a template would be 1) lots of work and 2) not as useful as an all in one location for seeing where loot sells. So i recomend the following arrangement:  Item Sell  Town  NPC Buy NPC  Town  Plate Armor 400 Venore Name here 1000 Kazordoon Name here And people who desire to buy or sell for less/more then the best bargin, can do the extra research required. Enumerate

Ok i see where you are going with this. It has previously been debated to make the Shop page exclusively the best bargains. This detracts from the nature of a wiki to include all information but we can make another page and so have one be the all encompassing pages and another be the best bargain page. I am quite busy in (RL) presently so perhaps you can go ahead and make such a page. You could either make a shop extension page or another page. Possbile names: Shop/Bargain, Shop/Best_Buy, Shop/Best_Price... and i am not really sure of a good independent page name. In a week or two i will try to get back to correcting the shop page or this new one. If i do not start in a week or two you can give me a reminder. I mix my priorities :P --DM ><((°> Contribs <°))>< talk to me 17:58, 21 February 2007 (PST)

I suggest Shop/Best Prices, since shops sell and/or buy, Best Buy doesn't really apply and Bargain is just like Best Buy. Here's my two cents. -- 19:06, 21 February 2007 (PST)

Quick Question DM
Hello there DM. I was wondering if I could ask for your help with something. I was just reading the Elvenbane Quest, and you said that you have been there twice on the talk page. After i read about the quest I scrolled back up to the top to see that the level requirement for the quest is zero. This worries me, that a rookie player may think the quest is easy and try to do it at a low level.

So having gone twice yourself, what would you recomend the level requirement (or level recomend) be?

Thank you for your time and concern,

Regards,

Jake Command Wolf

I'll field this question.

The level requirement on the quests is the "hard requirement" for what level you can do a quest (usually determined by a Gate of Expertise). As for a "recommended level" for this particular quest... that is very subjective. If you can solo a Dragon in a small room, then you can probably do this quest without much of a problem.

-- Labra lege  --  Whitelaces &dagger;  Talk &dagger; -- 07:17, 9 July 2007 (PDT)

Following up what Whitelaces said, the level requirement is just what is required, usually in the instance of a "gate of expertise" in which you cannot pass unless you are that level. Even if someone only reads the unspoiled section of a quest it names the creatures like Dragon and Elf Arcanist. A rookie player should know by the creatures if they can handle the quest, or read further in the guide if they have any question to their chances of survival. - The first time i did the quest i was level 16, i believe, and the only mage so i had to SD the Elf Arcanist. I knew what was there but only went because of the large team. --DM ><((°> Contribs <°))>< talk to me 19:36, 16 July 2007 (PDT)

NPC Template with image
I have created template for NPCs in which you can write to show of not the image. Moreover, if it's impossible to upload image with needed name, you can write other name and upload image with new one. If you like that template, you can found it here Zaidejas 14:25, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Problems with a Template
Hello Dm I was visiting some spells pages and I noticed that the Spell template is without the Fierce Berserk spell, also it is out of order and with duplicated spells like eternal winter. I don't have any experience with templates, but I believe that you can correct this error or indicate someone that can. Edit: I tried to modifie the original template, but I didn't finded the page to tests the templates, so I put the code im my User page. I beleieve it is nice, if you authorize I will modifie the template. Please, have a look when do you have time. Grateful, Esgledi Esgledi 01:26, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Admin
Dear , I am Bennie and glad I became member of you, the administrator team. As can be read here you, as an admin of a supported fansite, could represent TibiaWiki during private test servers. It would be very kind if you private messaged Erig (our boss) explaining who you are and telling your email address. Even if you don't want to use this opportunity, you could still message Erig so he knows that. You have time until Christmas 2008, but the sooner the better! Thanks in advance,

Suggestion when creating templates
Not sure how you create templates (with alot of {{'s), but it helps if you use an editor with highlighting. I myself use Notepad++, works like a charm and shows where brackets or curly braces start AND end. If you don't see it start/end, you are missing some. Certainly helps when I create templates that use alot of them :)

Infobox quest
Do you want help with it? I can understand if you wanna play around with it for, say educational purpose, so I'm asking before I do anything.. -- Sixorish 07:53, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

You might want to see this, every page which gets null/edited will be added to the category -- Sixorish 07:58, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

Well, I'm off to bed, if you get tired of it there's a (I believe to be) 'working' copy here. it does it differently than you're trying to achieve though: Yours finds the parameter "rookOrMain" and if it's not found it'll 'output' (to the parser, not visible) "Rookgaard", the #if parser checks if it exists, and you're giving no false so there will never be a "Mainland Quest". using #switch can compare strings and make actions based on what it is (which is more efficient in this case, I don't even think your method can work) You can read about parser functions at Meta -- Sixorish 08:31, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

FYI: the non breaking space (&nb sp;) was causing the categories page names to mess up (check out the URL differences between: Category:Rookgaard_Quests (no revisions so it's a dead link) and Category:Rookgaard%C2%A0Quests, which was why your DPL was giving no results. I think that has to do with the recent preprocessor upgrade, but there's an easy workaround so it's no big deal. -- Sixorish 08:43, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

I fixed the template, the page is working now. -- Sixorish 10:40, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

thx for the feedback. I didnt realise it worked because every time i went to the page it showed a page having a redirect thing instead of redirecting it. i'm pretty sure that was because I had gone to THAT page though, instead of clicking the link to the page. thx for the info and glad i could at least try to help :)

Well, thanks for the help, dude.

You are right, I just had good intentions to edit Tenebra. I started to play there, and also I hate when people vandalizes any article. About the highest level, Spielbarg was the highest level in Tenebra when I edited the page. Fenix Elite was 2kk or so to get the same level of him. I'm making some minor edits on this wiki since 1 year ago, but I'm not but a begginer. Never had enough time to build a page.

Again, thanks for the help.
