Skullcracker Armor
Since Rashid buys Skullcracker armor at 18,000gp, would it not be more proper to say the loot value is 18,000 - 300,000? As opposed to the current 80,000-300,000.

my bad, I must have edited the wrong revision. I didn't intend on modifying its value. -- Sixorish 05:09, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Add in middle tibia wiki
Now i guess the problem got more serious because since i dismissed the message on top wiki page the adds are now covering the content of wiki and there is no way to close the add. Here is a pic, if u think is there anything i can do to solve this pls leave me a msg. Or if u know how to make that mesage that i dismissed appear on top of page again would already help. Thanks, Maguu 15:05, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi, Wikia have not responded to the email as of yet; but there is one alternative if you are desperate (copy/pasted from the gaming wiki): see Help:Getting_started. Although this should remove the advert, it does not remove the issue for people who do not use this method. -- Sixorish 15:39, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

I also use that solution, I can tell it works fine :) ^^ Bennie (talk ~ fellows) ^^ 17:25, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Yea, I'm using the Quarts skin. Thanks for letting me know :) Karlkoninan 18:02, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Banned from editing?
I marked the page for deletion and you ban me saying my edit was destructive? Thats not right and you know it.

Which user are you talking about? your block log doesn't have anything... -- Sixorish 11:08, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Oh, if you mean User:MagicWorldTrade, I didn't say that to you. User:MagicWorldTrade is an actual registered account, I notified him that he was blocked for spamming. Marking it for deletion was a good thing. Sorry for the confusion. -- Sixorish 11:11, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Ah I see
I saw the blocked from editing note does that mean I got blocked from editing?

Nah, anyone can see it if they viewed his talk page. You can continue editing as normal. -- Sixorish 15:37, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Worker golem loot statistics
hey six. Fic and I are in the process of accumulating loot statistics for worker golems. When we are finished, i would like to post it to you somewhere if you think you would have the time to take a look before its posted. Calmera will be free from worker golem infestation! Silver skan 19:36, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I'd be happy to look at it, but since I no longer (have time to) play I can't be a citation on its legitimacy or accuracy. The article Worker Golem/Loot Statistics already exists, you could just merge the two with it. The template in use has a straight-forward usage, you wouldn't have to calculate the percentages. -- Sixorish 22:31, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

thanks Six. I will merge it when my data is complete. Silver skan 02:17, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Vandalism
Just letting you know you're being vandalized ;) I'd recommend adding that url to your local spam blacklist and trying to find his IP range if he has a dynamic IP. Cheers! ~Joey~  ^Talk^  00:10, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Vandalism is gone for now, but we can't add it to the blacklist because it doesn't work unless it is hyperlinked. We also have no way to find his IP range... -- Sixorish 01:06, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

the ice islands quest
Hey!

Could you edit The Ice Islands Quest article?

In Nibelor 1: Breaking the Ice, maybe it would be good to add "Remember that it takes about 5 minutes for the cracks to be pickable again." at the end.

Thanks! (:

I've added that, thanks! -- Sixorish 18:32, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Question
Maybe it's wrong to ask you since it's more technical-related than tibia-related but here I go: when clicking on the sort button in a DPL list an SQL action is called, e.g. "SELECT * FROM  =  -- Sixorish 19:44, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Talking about images, how do I know if images listed on Special:UnusedFiles are really unused? Cause when their in the spoiler tags they are also "unused", aren't they? If there is no way, it's ok, just thought you might know. ^^ Bennie (talk ~ fellows) ^^ 09:45, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

The only way I know of is to do a tedious full-text search of exported XML dumps for the string. -- Sixorish 14:19, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Also consider if the images there can be used even though they are unused now. Often a new user uploads an image and does not know how to add it so gives up/forgets and a good image goes to waste. In most cases an image of some character and a "rare" item or them hunting would not be in a spoiler and so is likely unused as well and would have only been on their user page, not useful to all tibiawiki. --DM ><((°> Contribs <°))>< talk to me 16:22, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Ok, doing a XML dump would be too hard for me I think. It's more for images like File:Idea.gif this one... ^^ Bennie (talk ~ fellows) ^^ 17:11, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Does that help? '''Craggles Random::Chat::Contributions::Tibicam Profile ''' 17:15, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

That doesn't work between spoiler tags. It only shows more links because the image page shows only that of the image, and not the article. Both of those 'links' mentioned there are linking to the page as above: File:Idea.gif = page link, not shown as an 'image link'. By the XML dump I meant exporting every page via Special:Export (Wikia also have backup dumps, but they're usually out of date). It stores the page's source (wiki-text) as well as revision ID, etc., it's not really complicated. -- Sixorish 18:21, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

I tried and got this. Where would the hidden links to the file be visible in the xml document? ^^ Bennie (talk ~ fellows) ^^ 19:08, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

I mean every page, not just the image one. Then search for the string through that. -- Sixorish 19:19, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

General Murius

 * I reckon we should keep the General Murius video - I find actually seeing something happen far more useful than just a description. Besides haveing the video there can't hurt anyone right. '''Craggles Random::Chat::Contributions::Tibicam Profile

''' 08:24, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

You might be right, but it's bulky (imo) and there are probably thousands of General Murius movies to display: why his? I'm sure the majority of viewers already know of Youtube's existence and can search it themselves if they want a graphical representation. Sorry I can't agree on redundant videos... (although I can't be the one to define the policy of them) -- Sixorish 14:31, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
