TavinBot
Heya Whitelaces The spoiler is working great! I noticed how you use it for your archive tocs, very clever ;) I guess now TibiaWiki has become Twibkia I also have to modernize. Can you tell me how to create the bots you've written? They're really interesting and useful :) --Edwin de waterman 12:33, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Hey Edwin. I wrote the bots in C#.NET, but you can really use any programming language.

Bots are just applications that edit the wiki. Here's a good starting point for you: Wikipedia:Creating_a_bot.

Fire Swords and Hellfire Fighters
Why is it that when you search Fire Sword, It's said to be dropped by the Hellfire Fighter, but Fire Sword isn't listed under its ( Hellfire Fighter )loot? --Heavenly Emperor 20:26, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Apparently, when TIBIA-Trigger added [ hellfire fighter to the list], he forgot to add it to the Hellfire Fighter page.

If it's accurate, then you can go ahead and fix it.

This could be done automatic, with a bot or something. Maybe.

Monaco Skin
Hi there, I'm angies with the gaming team. We are switching over all the default skins (for anon users) to our new skin "Monaco" this week and wanted to check in with you to see if 1) that was cool with your community and 2) If there are any customizations you want help with. You can see documentation for Monaco customization Here and you can check out how these wikis are using Monaco too: w:c:starwars w:c:dofus and w:c:ffxi. I wasn't sure if there was a community discussion place to post this message so please feel free to move it somewhere else angies (talk) 01:17, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi angies, I apologize for the delay in my reply. I have been busy with some big RL changes. Anyway, I see that the Monaco skin has already been implemented, and I have no issue with it. I think it is an improvement in functionality, but I see how some users may not like the appearance. At any rate, thank you for seeking our input, even though I was absent.

Violation of Count robin
The user Count robin ( talk &bull; contribs &bull; [ bot contribs] &bull; [ block log] &bull; block ) has vandalized. Please review their edits and take appropriate actions if necessary.

Sincerely, User:Bennie

To add, he also made 3 pages not related to Tibia at all. Woen, Katy'livingstone and Galecop.
 * Temahk 12:08, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Those pages were actually loosely related to Tibia, but they appear to be some addition to the Tibia mythology. I deleted the pages, but if he can substantiate that they came from books in-game or some other real source, they can be re-added.

About the page haggler's hideout, it was just an incomplete page about an in-game house. I see that Bennie already fixed the article, but I would not consider it to be vandalism.

Re: ProblemReports
I noticed you were an active Admin on this wiki, would you please take a moment and read Talk:Main_Page and consider helping. --Uberfuzzy 09:42, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Sorry for not replying earlier. I checked it out and took care of most of the remaining open problem reports.

Sincerely, User:Kwigon the sharpshooter

Wow, you seem to have been making friends ;) Anyway, I don't see much for me to do about this one right now. If they continue messing with your user page, or vandalize other articles, let me know.

Rareness
Hai Whitelaces

Some time ago, I created the page Rareness, for I think there should be a standardized format for the different levels of rareness of items. I made another edit just now, and I think the current rates for rareness are quite good. Some people have also contributed on the Talk page. Now my proposal is introducing these figures to all creatures in Tibia. In Talk pages, people could discuss (maybe even add statistics of several hunts) to determine how rare items are. That way, people will always know what to expect if a certain item is labeled as 'Very rare', for example.

Daken Thundermaster 18:10, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

I like the idea of standardizing how we list things, but this one is particularly difficult to enforce. Feel free to try and keep the loot lists accurate, but don't get discouraged when people seemingly ignore what you have worked on. Keep contributing!
