kk i will try and standardise the wanted pages, but I will leave the pictures blank unless they are on... --Dark Tobberz 07:39, 16 May 2005 (EDT)

BAN NEEDED: Hozav for spamming Mastermind Shield with something like jjdoifgaoighhgo....

It was a one time, minor occurrence, if it happens again I will remove them.

I would like to contribute more. Shall i go through all small pages and class them as stubs for you?

''I don't really see the need to classify pages as "stubs". Maybe on a site like Wikipedia it would help keep things in order, but on a wiki as small as this one, it's probably overkill.''

PS: Please could I be a moderator on this site? I make regular contributions And would like to contribute further. Please go to my chat to reply (Positive or negative) or ask me what you want me to do to improve the site!

--Dark Tobberz

''I don't think there's enough abuse to warrant more admins, but I'll keep it in mind. I think the main thing that is lacking from the wiki right now is consistency, most pages are a bit of a mess (although there are quite a few decent ones and its growing). Discuss the standards and then try to standardise some of the pages that are lacking, maybe?''

Hallo. I just finished the "Books" section of the Desert Dungeon Library library. Going to bed now. I'll write something about accessing the library tomorrow if I have time.

I'm having an really bad illness today and will for the next few days. Vomiting, high fever and diaréa. No big mood for writing anything today. --Alreth 16:38, 26 Nov 2004 (EST)

Feeling a lot better today. Written a few new articles. Mind if I tell some friends about this site? They might have something to write too. :)

--Alreth 17:38, 27 Nov 2004 (EST)

Go ahead, and we're using MediaWiki here, the same software that runs Wikipedia.

Is it possible to run it with IIS under Windows, or is it Linux only? :/ Alreth

No idea. Dave 11:06, 29 Nov 2004 (EST)

Been playing around with the databse again? ;) Check this page. Linked to from Maintenance. Error message: wfSpecialDisambiguation is broken. Link tables have changed...

--Alreth 12:18, 24 Jan 2005 (EST)

No I haven't, but I've upgraded MediaWiki to the latest version as there was a security problem with previous versions. The page you mention now works, however. ;) --Dave 01:00, 31 Jan 2005 (EST)

Ah alright. :) I noticed that the pages looks diffrently (should be customised with TibiaWiki design) when you aren't logged in. Looks like the default template on Wikipedia/MediaWiki.

--Alreth 19:05, 31 Jan 2005 (EST)

Edit: Wasn't it 'Cologne Blue' as default template before? It's 'Mono Book' now, or something like that.

You're right, this was something I forgot to change back when I updated. It's been fixed. --Dave 02:23, 4 Feb 2005 (EST)

I've moved the wiki over to erig.net. Any existing tibia.erigol.com URL should redirect properly to the new domain, if it doesn't post the error here.

Also, please update your bookmarks and links if you have any! --Dave 02:33, 4 Feb 2005 (EST)

guild page allowed?
hi Dave, my Guild (Teutons Reloaded) has a wiki as guild homepage at swiki.net. But swiki.net is often down and slow. I would like to ask if we can move our wiki to your site. Maybe with our own directory. our wiki is now: http://teutons.swiki.net/ our homepage is: http://www.teutons.de/ Please take a look and message me :)

Leela

Hi Leela, normally I'd say yes, but as happened in the past (specifically, with my movie site) a good thing can be abused. That site was pulling 7 GB a day before I stopped movie uploads, because it was a reliable movie hosting site and became the primary source for movie uploads on WoT.

Now, a small guild page would pull no way near 7 GB a day, but if I host one guild's page, I'll most probably get offers to host others, etc., and this is a trap I'd rather avoid if I can.

Sorry!

Yes, you should also notice "Block" next to each username in the recent changes page. --Dave 13:09, 24 Mar 2005 (EST)

Thanks for fixing that terrible book name.. I had it saved like that on my harddrive and forgot to rename it before I uploaded it. Then I tried to rename it online which didn't seem to be possible and then I had to leave due to RL reasons. --Alreth 13:51, 24 Mar 2005 (EST)

Recent changes
What does the "N", the "m" and the red "!" mean on the recent changes-page?

--Alreth 09:17, 31 Mar 2005 (EST)


 * "m" means it was a minor edit, "N" means it is a new page, the red "!" I'm not sure about, but I can guess it means it was made by a non-admin.

Emm.....

u should make i dunno how..but make links to be case sensitive because sometimes theres links like Magic level and Magic Level.... and its a mess...

I think you mean case insensivite, los Druidas. --Alreth 09:13, 24 May 2005 (EDT)

Quest spoiling template that uses CSS and JS

 * Heylo Erig. I had an idea to make a template for quest spoiling. It would work so that you would have to click a text before you can see the actual spoil. CSS and JS will be used for this. But I'm having troubles putting it into the wiki. Is it possible that in some way enable JS support on Template:Spoil or in some other way make it work? -- Alreth ¦› Message me ¦› My contributions ¦› 12:50, 4 Jun 2005 (EDT)


 * I checked, it's not possible. MediaWiki does its best to prevent scripting from being allowed. --Erig 11:39, 5 Jun 2005 (EDT)


 * That is what I feared. :'( -- Alreth ¦› Message me ¦› My contributions ¦› 18:36, 5 Jun 2005 (EDT)
 * I think your best bet here is to have general quest info one one page and spoilers on a second page, possibly a subpage. Example: Foo Quest which contains the Template:Spoil, change the template to include a link to /Spoiler and include the top secret details at Foo Quest/Spoiler.  What do you think? 11:32, 10 Jun 2005 (EDT)
 * Done. See this in use at Edron Goblin Quest. 19:42, 12 Jun 2005 (EDT)

languages
i saw that tibiawiki ( yust like wikipedia ) has the posibility to have pages in more than 1 language. unfortenatly this are only small changes ( for NL ) and most things are still english, is there a way to change this? or to have special people doeing this?

of course i get that it's like imposible to make everything in every language  ( not only for the amount of space ), but we might give it a try, can't we?

I guess it's possible, but is there much of a demand for it? :P --Erig 04:09, 7 Jun 2005 (EDT)


 * if you decide to do that, i can help in spanish translation :P --Lord de los Druidas 14:33, 7 Jun 2005 (EDT)


 * We could do another version of this in the Noob Language. For example the list of items would be moved to fre itenz plz. 10:42, 10 Jun 2005 (EDT)

whell, i ques we got to make the interface language good working, not that half of it is dutch and the other half is english. for example: ( opens in new window) should be in dutch ( opent in een nieuwe scherm ) or something in that direction. and under special pages i still having more... but in dutch it should be meer... ( yes, im using dutch as example! i don't wanna be insulting or anything with it ). --zeonz 22:39, 8 Jun 2005 (CET) extra: having birthday in 1 hour and 21 minutes.

Spelling mistake
Hey Erig, it seems that you changed "NPC Billy" to "NPC Billie". It was right in the first place so I'm gonna have to change it back. Or did you change it for a specific reason?

--Rekujot 16:37, 3 Jul 2005 (EDT)


 * I changed Willy to Willie, which is correct. I'll move Billie to Billy. --Erig 06:12, 4 Jul 2005 (EDT)

off topic...
i was considering adding a spreadfirefox logo on my page or the front page, since it is one of the best to view the site with (i compared with others). I know you have one on erig.net so should we have one here? --DM  ¦›  Contribs ¦› talk to me 14:35, 22 Jul 2005 (EDT)

image formats
Ok. I had always assumed that a gif would be smaller than jpg for a non-photograph image. I was wrong, you were right (I tested it myself). I'll upload screenshots as jpg from now on.
 * 06:57, 27 Jul 2005 (EDT)


 * Well I don't really care if it's jpg/gif as long as it's the smallest size possible. I say .gif for in-game items because they need to have zero loss of quality, plus they're small enough (normally 32x32) that it doesn't really matter much. Screenshots, on the other hand, are generally a lot larger and as you've discovered, .jpg is usually better.


 * I was going to type a huge paragraph but heh, you can always find it on the internet: on this site, you can find information on which image compression format to use, Gif vs Jpeg vs PNG. http://www.sitepoint.com/article/gif-jpg-png-whats-difference Cameri 01:56, 26 October 2005 (EDT)

Items (redirect) --> Item
I think the page listing items should have the plural title. I can't seem to move it to Items to reverse the redirect (presumably because Items has previous edit history?) I guess an admin would have to delete the history (which consists solely of a flawed attempt at making a redirect to Item). Can you make me an admin plx plx plx.
 * 06:57, 27 Jul 2005 (EDT)


 * Yeah, okay. I was going to make you an admin yesterday until I saw your violation of my .gif policy! I'll make you one now, but make sure that doesn't happen again. ;) --Erig 08:04, 27 Jul 2005 (EDT)
 * Thx, Erig. The direction of the redirect has been reversed (fixed) and I have already taken the opportunity to block a spammer (User:Ezecapo) for 24 hours.  See the spam here if you are so inclined...

image loading
User:Taliboy was uploading images that were not different from before so i deleted, i later realized these were new images for update. So i tried uploading them as well which resulted in old image. Then i deleted the old entries and started fresh and it still came out old image, so i am not sure what to do? (e.g. new:Combat Knife old: --DM  ><((°>  Contribs <°))>< talk to me 19:43, 8 Aug 2005 (EDT)
 * Seems fixed? --Erig 02:33, 9 Aug 2005 (EDT)
 * try uploading the new image yourself, i just tried again and it came out as old one :/  --DM   ><((°>  Contribs <°))>< talk to me 09:53, 9 Aug 2005 (EDT)
 * I suggest you clear your cache or something, as I see the new image fine. --Erig 10:50, 9 Aug 2005 (EDT)

Quest spoiler pages, etc.
Erig, I just tried to do something I read about on meta. I was trying to set the quest pages up so that only the first pages of quests (e.g. Edron Goblin Quest) are members of Category:Quests and the spoiler pages (e.g. Edron Goblin Quest/Spoiler) are members of Category:Quest spoiler pages, but it doesn't seem to work. There doesn't seem to be any way to remove the Foo Quest/Spoiler page from the Quests category. I have tentatively settled for giving the spoiler pages a (re-)sorting key:

...which forces them to the end of the Category:Quests listing. However, this is an ugly and only marginally effective hack. Any ideas?
 * 05:12, 10 Sep 2005 (EDT)

Image not quite deleted
See Category:Images for deletion. It seems to show a thumbnail for Image:HL\'s shop.gif which I thought was deleted. If you click on it, it shows nothing, yet it still seems to kinda exist. It's an unused duplicate (of Image:Outlaw_Camp-NPC_HL.gif) anyway, so if you can figure out how to completely get rid of it...

Erig For a few weeks every time when i logged onto tibia.erig.net the screen would appear blank on any number of browsers i used. Finally a few weeks ago i could log on and have access. The new e-mail registration would not accept my e-mail which i previously used so i instead just made a new one. I do not have any idea why it would noty accept the old one (popcornguy@hotmail.com) or why nothing came up when i logged on. If you can explain? --DM  ><((°>  Contribs <°))>< talk to me 13:26, 23 October 2005 (EDT)

Bad Edit
Aaa added some unneccessary profanity to the page TibiaWiki:Searching. I don't think I understand why, but I removed the text. Probably should just delete the page, since it was apparently created just for this purpose.

09:26, 5 January 2006 (CST)

Another One
Wow.. The wiki must be getting more popular. Another guy spamming at least one page with garbage. Again.... I cleared the text from the page, but it should probably just be deleted.

Spamming Pages and Innappropriate Language
Missy has been making some inappropriate edits on the wiki. Kaio has removed the bad stuff, but maybe one of the admins can just do a rollback so that it's not in the edit history. At one time, Rune Farmer said that the number of vandals was a sign of the popularity of the wiki.... I guess that this wiki is becoming more popular! At least 4 vandals in less than a month! Congratulations, Erig!

Just kidding :)   but really, the wiki does appear to be getting more popular. I have noticed a number of new contributers, mostly just a couple edits/fixes, but every little bit helps!

08:14, 18 January 2006 (CST)

Suggestions
Tiquanda is huge, and contains many different plant species, and I think there should be a template for the purpose of explaining all the trees in Tibia. This will help players understand some quests like the explorer society one.

Scope of Policy Change and also Current events Question
Hey Erig, there are a couple of things that I would like your input on or that I have questions about:


 * About the recent policy change (no personal pages), would that also extend to Guilds as well? Specifically, the recently added pages Dwarfhood and Dwarven Academy. Even though there are fewer guilds than there are players, I think it is asking for problems if this gets out of hand. There is also the issue of maintenence, since guilds come and go all the time. Pages would certainly be added, but I'm sure they would never be removed if the guild folded or became inactive. I guess there could be some kind of blurb on the Game Worlds pages about some notable guilds, but I personally don't think its a good idea to have a wiki article for each separate guild.


 * Yes, guilds also apply to this rule, I probably should have mentioned this.. so I will do it now. ;) --Erig 21:15, 24 February 2006 (CST)


 * Do you have a concept of what the Current events page should be used for? I'm sure it only exists because it is linked to from the left menu. In context, it seems like it should be news about the Wiki itself, but there doesn't seem to be enough "wiki news" to merit an entire page, and you have the news on your main site that can easily fill this function. It also seems like a bad idea to have an arbitrary list of events that are occurring on different game worlds. If you didn't have any plans for the page, here are the ideas I came up with:
 * "Protect" the page, and have it be similar to the news on www.erig.net, but specifically for the wiki (news like your policy change, server software updates, any new large sections or articles that are a "big deal", etc.)
 * "Protect" the page and leave it blank
 * Designate this page for in-game tibia events (as it appears to be now), but organize it (the page is ugly, I'm going to organize it anyway until you decide otherwise).
 * Use the first option here, and have it reference the Game Worlds pages for in-game events. I can come up with some way to organize that too, if you think it's the way to go.

Thanks! I'll try not to bother you too much, but I wanted your direction on these.

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).

Ok, the question is:

'''Can I (we) take the information containted in this Wiki to used in the new Wiki? '''

We'll make a lot of translations from the english articles and I'll be very happy if you let me take some of the Templates and (of course) the images aswell.

I know you are a busy person, but I hope you can see this message and you can send me a quick reply soon.
