What makes you think the plural of carniphila is carniphilia? -- Sixorish 11:31, April 9, 2012 (UTC)

Well, I checked around the net, and there were several sources which stated that the plural was Carniphilia, and I believed them. I saw your proof on this matter though, and thanks for pointing that undeniable fact out. I will first check the official Tibia website before making similar changes in the future (this idea didn't even occur to me while making the change). -- Wouterboy 19:30, April 9, 2012 (UTC)

Crowbar
I found the door in desert dungeon that needs a crowbar to be opened. See the crowbar talk page for the link. foggy 13:03, April 16, 2012 (UTC)

Thumbs up
Hey Wouterboy,

I see your edits coming by every now and then in the recent changes page and I think they are good quality, so I wanted to give you a thumbs up. Keep up the good job! :) -- Bennie (talk ~ fellows) 12:06, October 5, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the nice compliment! And to make use of the attention, I noticed a mistake. Every one of the Lukosch brothers' names ends in -sh, whereas in-game they appear ending in -sch. I already edited this on the pages themselves, but I couldn't quite figure out how to edit the titles as well. Also, when I go to pages with 'dropped by'-sections, I notice that the normal dropping creatures are alphabetically ordered and are then followed by the alphabetically ordered bosses. Is this intended or should all the names be alphabetically ordered together? -- Wouterboy (talk) 12:32, October 5, 2013 (UTC)

About the Lukosch brothers, to edit the titles of pages you need to rename them by moving the page. Renaming is the same as moving, you can do it by pressing the dropdownlist triangle near the edit button and choose 'rename' from the options (I'm not 100% sure if you need to be an admin to do this, just give a shout if it doesn't work for you).

Abou the separation of normal creatures and bosses on those pages; it has been a custom on TibiaWiki to separate boss creatures from normal ones, so I assume that's the reason this happened on those pages as well I can't tell if it is intended since I never edited those pages. Does it bother you? It could arguably be changed of course.

I hope this answers your questions. -- Bennie (talk ~ fellows) 15:28, October 5, 2013 (UTC)

If the separation of normal and boss creatures is a custom, it doesn't have any reasson to bother me. I just wanted to know if there was a reason for it or not.

And I can't edit the titles, since the redirect pages have already been edited, so the two pages (redirect -sh and actual -sch) can't swap (at least that is what I understood from the error I got).

Also, some of the creatures that can see invisibility are listed twice in the corresponding table (on the Invisibility page) and I don't know how to change it. -- Wouterboy (talk) 15:47, October 5, 2013 (UTC)

I fixed the Lukosch brothers issue. The problem was that you had to check a box marked "Yes, delete to make way for move".

As for Invisibility, there are 2 different ways to input the immunity in the creature template (same with paralyze). This may be the cause of the problem.

Keep up the good work! Art Featherpitch (talk) 15:59, October 5, 2013 (UTC)

Weird
Hello guys, can someone please fix the the bp and bag section of the shops page? The only thing I did was changing a disambiguation link (Water) to the right link (Water (Liquid)) but for some reason that section got messed up and reverting my edit didn't help. Thanks in advance. -- Wouterboy (talk) 15:14, October 7, 2013 (UTC)

Maybe you accidentally removed a character while editing which broke the format? Anyways, I just reverted it and fixed the water link for you. -- Bennie (talk ~ fellows) 12:46, October 7, 2013 (UTC)

Well, apparently I did. Anyway, thanks for the fast reply (and cleaning up my mess)!

The Rusty Armor (Common) page stopped displaying the percentage at which Damaged Worker Golem drops it after my edit on loot statistics and reverting my edit didn't work (again). Same goes for Madareth with Rusty Armor (Rare) and Rusty Legs (Rare), for Ghastly Dragon, Zanakeph and Zulazza the Corruptor with Rusty Armor (Rare) and for Werewolf with Rusty Armor (Semi-Rare). Someone please come to the rescue. -- Wouterboy (talk) 15:14, October 7, 2013 (UTC)

Traveling
What were you trying to achieve here? Spaces like that will be inconsistent between browsers and screen resolutions, and those spaces make the page seem unprofessional. Is there something you were trying to achieve and are there any other ways we can do it? -- Sixorish (talk) 09:11, October 13, 2013 (UTC)

Those spaces were already there when I started editing it. I have no idea how they got there or how to remove them and they were quite a nuisance for me as well. Feel free to somehow fix it, because I wasn't trying to achieve anything with it and the person putting them there wasn't either probably. -- Wouterboy (talk) 10:21, October 13, 2013 (UTC)

Wikilinks
Hey again,

I saw in your recent edit here and also in other edits that you add wikilinks to a lot of words. In principal this is ok, but I think it is custom to only link once to a certain article in a section. E.g. the first time the word "city" appears in a section of text you could link to the corresponding article, if somebody wants more info they can click on it. The next time the word "city" appears in the section it is not necessary anymore to link to it, since people interested in more info about cities could have clicked on the first link.

I think this is not really an official rule, but more of a consensus between wiki editors. If you have good reasons to disagree please let me know. -- Bennie (talk ~ fellows) 12:17, October 26, 2013 (UTC)

Well, the reason I do it is because some people tend to skim the article for the information they need, and may therefore miss the first (and possibly only) link to another article of relevance to them. -- Wouterboy (talk) 12:26, October 26, 2013 (UTC)

Email
Hello, Wouterboy! Can you check your inbox and reply my email as soon as possible? Thank you.

Hunter of Dragoes (Talk  · Contribs  · Admins ) - 10:44, November 19, 2013 (UTC)

Are you sure you sent it to the right adress? I haven't received anything in the inbox of the adress I gave up here. -- Wouterboy (talk) 17:41, November 19, 2013 (UTC)

Yes, I used the email user function. Are you sure it wasn't detected as spam?

In case you can't find it, it's an invite to the next Test Server. If you want to be one of TibiaWiki representatives, just send me your character name.

Put videos on wikia page (youtube)
Hey brother! How can I put some videos from youtube in a quest page or mount page?

I have a youtube channel with a lot of videos totally helpfull!

My email: alexfreixa18@gmail.com

Thanks!!

I honestly don't have a clue. Try asking someone more avid in this (like User:Shockermontu).

Admin
Hey!

I think most admin things are pretty self-explanatory or well documented, but if you need any help don't hesitate to ask. A good place to look at is here. -- Bennie (talk ~ fellows) 19:49, May 17, 2014 (UTC)

Yeah, I recognise most of these pages... always fun to fix some double redirects, right! Anyway, I was actually wondering if there's any page which listed all broken links, so I could turn them into working ones (or create some desperately needed pages, of course).

Congrats! And to answer your question there are 2 such pages for broken page links and file links: Special:WantedPages and Category:Pages_with_broken_file_links

--DM ><((°> Contribs <°))>< talk to me 21:41, May 17, 2014 (UTC)

Thank you! I always figured it would have to be one of those Special pages, and was quite surprised when I didn't find it there. Never thought of the possibility of it being a Category page. Anyway, another question: should mentions along the lines of "This item was first obtained in this-and-this contest" be on history pages, or on regular pages? -- Wouterboy (talk) 22:02, May 17, 2014 (UTC)

I do not think we have a strong standard on that. I think history pages are treated as a way to displace info which is currently not relevant to a particular article so as to not clog the main article. E.g. a spell used to be a different amount of mana or how an NPC used to look (old image). Magic Longsword seems to be similar to your example, where the main page references some of the long history, which is no longer relevant to obtaining the sword, but the history page has a lot more detail. I consider this a good example to follow but feel free to elaborate on any specific areas of concern. --DM ><((°> Contribs <°))>< talk to me 02:09, May 18, 2014 (UTC)

Yes, I agree that those kind of pages should be preserved. But look at Nightmare Doll/History, for example, which I marked for deletion some time ago. Not only is this information already mentioned on the actual page, it's also supposed to be mentioned on that actual page (considering the fact that this is done with all Contest Prizes). Therefore this kind of information doesn't belong on history pages, right? I just want to have this straightened out before deleting any pages. -- Wouterboy (talk) 10:42, May 18, 2014 (UTC)

I think that page can be deleted since the info is duplicated. On the other hand the owner information could all be moved to the history page. At some point it was discussed how to handle "personal" info like who owns certain rares, but there is no established standard i could find. For now i think it is best to make sure that info is not duplicated on multiple pages, whether it is all on the main page or history page. --DM ><((°> Contribs <°))>< talk to me 18:23, May 18, 2014 (UTC)

May I know why did you delete the page I was making?

Hector

What Bennie said. -- Wouterboy (talk) 13:24, July 12, 2014 (UTC)

Referencing trivia
Where did you find this? I assume some NPC says it or it's written in a book?

Would be cool if we could reference these historical facts, make it more wikipedia-like and encourage readers to follow references to books and NPC transcripts. -- Bennie (talk ~ fellows) 10:08, November 1, 2014 (UTC)

I got it from a timeline made by, a renowned RPG'er (here). I don't know myself which books she read or NPCs she spoke to for every piece of information. The only thing I know is that it must have taken a lot of research... -- Wouterboy (talk) 11:35, November 1, 2014 (UTC)

Oh whooh, I'm amazed (full scale version). Thanks for sharing! -- Bennie (talk ~ fellows) 12:57, November 1, 2014 (UTC)

Eey ik zag dat je nederlands was dus ik dacht ik stuur je een berichtje Voeg me toe op tibia: Morlocaukrion ;)

Nina
Wow.. That is some mass editing. About this edit, I'm not sure what your source is, but I went to check out Nina a few days ago on TS, and made a screenshot (so I could make an outfiter image later): https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/14919964/tibia/2014-12-02%2015_54_43-Tibia%20Flash%20Client.png

I will make a proper image later, if you don't beat me to it. What was your source btw? -- Bennie (talk ~ fellows) 21:38, December 5, 2014 (UTC)

I got the images from the Portuguese Tibiawiki (almost all of their pages requiring a picture have the picture). Perhaps they just based Nina's appearance on assumptions? Anyway, go ahead. I'm certainly not going to beat you to it :). -- Wouterboy (talk) 22:16, December 5, 2014 (UTC)

Dear, when some contest say That means that I have until "before January 8th, 2015. Untillll 00:00, that means that until 23:59, January 8th I can submite my entries.
 * All entries must be submitted before January 8th, 2015, 00:00 CET.

But the worst was, I was uploading my entries in January 7th, and was missing about 4 hours until midnight.



Dear I really need your help because it is really unfair, If I was wrong I will just be sad and accept, but not in this case.



<p style="font-size:14.4444446563721px;">Thanks,

<p style="font-size:14.4444446563721px;">Yours

I'm very sorry that days start at midnight. -- Wouterboy (talk) 10:04, January 8, 2015 (UTC)

Why would you delete the page I started just because I was the only contributor. The page was all of 2 hours old.

Name branding
Hey Wouter,

I saw you moved TibiaWiki to Tibia.Wikia. Can you convice me with good arguments for this decision? I don't really like it (to be a bit blunt). We always branded ourself as "TibiaWiki" the wiki about tibia, although later other wikis appeared. Regardless of our previous domain tibia.erig.net or our current domain tibia.wikia.com, I think we should still be called (and therefore call ourselves) "TibiaWiki".

-- Bennie (talk ~ fellows) 16:45, February 18, 2015 (UTC)

I wanted to create consistency in the names we use for our fansite referrals. I thought the standard naming policy was to take the domain name and erase all URL stuff from that name (such as 'http' and 'com'). This is why I changed the names of some other fansite pages, too. However, when I started thinking about the problems it would create in our site's case (because TibiaWiki is used everywhere), and because I wasn't too sure if we even had a standard for fansite page names, I wanted to revert the edit (but apparently I forgot). I just changed it back, though. Anyway, your response isn't as much 'blunt' as it is 'logical', so don't worry. -- Wouterboy (talk) 17:08, February 18, 2015 (UTC)

I have always used common sense when it comes to fansite page names, i.e., the name the fansite owners call their fansites. I even remember [ moving TibiaCity to Tibiacity] after talking to their staff. Although, I wouldn't like to move the article about the Brazilian Wiki to Tibia Wiki just because they call themselves that way.

Vandal leftover
Hi, just noticed that this one still remains unbanned - User:Walenty13 -- Cauli92 (talk) 11:24, April 20, 2015‎ (UTC)

Thanks for taking care of him, could you please also protect this page? They edit it what results in their hacklink files being seen on dozen of pages. http://tibia.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Protected -- Cauli92 (talk) 14:51, April 20, 2015 (UTC)

Thanks again as well, hopefully they will give up at least for a short moment now that it's protected! -- Cauli92 (talk) 15:02, April 20, 2015 (UTC)

White Dress
Hello, I have a picture of the probably last white dress in Tibia, may nor many lefts, I think there is no picture about a player holding one, and I just want to share before I got retired after 16 years of play :), just make me know how I can send you the pic since I cannot upload photos!

Just put your screenshot up on an image hosting website and provide me with the link to it. I'll take care of the rest. Also, don't forget to sign your comments. -- Wouterboy (talk) 16:39, May 17, 2015 (UTC)

I cannot add a link due spam, I invite you to visit my photobucket, and look in the folder "Breaking news" and you can find the pic what I means :)

Hello Mayesto, you have such beautiful items.

I guess you're talking about this image. Could you please take another screeshot with the item on the ground (you can do it in your house). And, please, mark "Don't Stretch/Shrink Game Window" in Options → Graphics → Advanced.

And, can you tell us the story behind this item?

Thank you and good luck in RL!

Unlucky it was sold by 120kks some years ago to Imperatur Rush, i think he got namelock or so, the picture it was taken before I sold the item and was in my laptop, thats why the size of the creen, hehe and I got it from Pepelu, he got retired and gave me this item as present because we were good friends, he was a GM before and rumors say he knew many old quest and many ways to get the items, as Demon legs that he gave me to me aswell at the sametime :)
