Welcome

Feel free to discuss things among admins. Ask things to admins, propose new ideas etc. Reporting a vandal can also be perfectly done here, but is not really the intention of this page. Also note that this page doesn't have the same function as TibiaWiki talk:Community Portal.

Loot Calculator

I have uploaded that loot calculator, as mentioned here to some free webhost, being AwardSpace. The calculator can be accessed on tibiacalc.awardspace.info. The spamfilter is blocking it, so I can't directly link to it. This is just a quick free host I found, which seems to do the job so far. I have also edited the file on my server to redirect to the new link.

I am not sure if people will use it, even if you post it on some Help page (Help:Loot Statistics or something). I can give any admin that wants it full access to the account on AwardSpace, as its only purpose is to host that one script. And if it doesn't get used.. Well, I had some hours of fun creating it :)

Hmm, AwardSpace was unavailable this afternoon, so I also uploaded it to another host, lol. Apart from the downtime, the script doesn't work properly on AwardSpace when it comes to bigger log files.

Have a look at http://tibiacalc.vndv.com/, which now includes a TOC (looks stolen from Bennie :D). Not sure what the limit of lines is, but 37K lines worked on my connection. Scripts can execute during 30 seconds, which includes uploading. So slow connections cannot use big log files. Or at least, thats how I understood it from some testing today.

Tibia article at Wikipedia

If Anyone feels like updating the info there and making shure all is ok? Also if some one can make a beautiful screenshot of a Paladin hurting a dragon/dragon lord (howing fire wave and showing the palading doing harm to the dragon), so we can use it on wikipedia, they have a very old tibia version screenshot and is not good... people will think this game sux by looking at those grapics. Also did they change the link to the old tibia wiki to the new tibia wiki?

Skins

Affff, I was playing with the skings, and now I can't find the old one I was using before, also now each time I want to save something It ask me to make a preview first...(making all 2 times slower) Is there a way to change that?
--Kwigon the sharpshooter 01:19, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Check Special:Preferences#prefsection-1 and preview the different options and see what you had before. The preview is now forced on all users, but it might not work with some of the older skins. This is to remind people to double check for typos and other mistakes. You can email me about this if it still bothers you. --DM ><((°> Contribs <°))>< talk to me 01:52, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

I don't know I was using the same sking that this wikia have since 3 years ago (I never changed sking), then on other wikia I could not see some info so I changed sking there and now the sking changed here too, anyways the sking thing doesn't bother me much, but I have to get rid of the preview mode (it will slow me down alot). Help me with that, I don't want to be forced to preview.

Buy from/Sell to

If you take a look for example at the page Axe. Rather like many pages, there is little organisation with who buys the item and in what town. I think it should be organised alphabetically by town and then by the npc who buys/sells. Mainly because there are no two npcs with the same name (as far as I know) but in some cases there is more than one npc in the same town that buys/sells for the same price. What do you think? beejay 00:15, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

---

If it makes you happy, go ahead. I don't have much problems with the current method, since there are usually only ~6 npcs selling it, which can be read quite fast. ^^ Bennie (talk ~ fellows) ^^ 07:11, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

Preview/Skin

I dont want to preview before saving eddits -.- I want my old skin, and that sking is not in this wiki, what can I do... This ship is making me crazy and angry
--Kwigon the sharpshooter 05:00, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

---

I understand you are angry about this kwigon, but I think I can do nothing about it atm. I promise I will take a look later how this can be by-passed. ^^ Bennie (talk ~ fellows) ^^ 05:10, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

The old MonoBook skin (I guess this is what you're referring to) has been completely removed and will not come back. Wikia no longer supports this skin and it should not be supported. The skin is outdated and causes more trouble then its worth. Nothing our local admins can do about it. If you feel the need to complain, please use Special:Contact. They won't add the skin, though.

The preview thing is there to enforce you to check your changes. Be it template-wise, be it your spelling. I -always- prefer before saving a page, but this functionality actually annoys me. Nevertheless, I think it's a good functionality and truth be told; you could use it. I know English isn't your first language, but sometimes I get the feeling you aren't even trying to write a proper English sentence. This is not meant as a personal attack, it's just an observation over time.

Already got an addon for firefox to fix 99% of my typos, anyways preview my eddits wont change the amount of spelling errors since if I don't know a word I JUST DONT KNOW IT, but when I need for example to remove old templates from monsters I have to do like 2000 eddits on them, it used to take me like 5 minutes for 8 monsters (checking sounds and attacks and strategies) now takes me like 15 because the page has to load again after the preview. To me its slowing me to much. Isen't a way to chose if you want to have that option on? Should be a on and off switch... I use preview button only when I needed, now that its forced I have to use it even if I want to add a dot in the end of a line. (makes angry face)
--Kwigon the sharpshooter 12:47, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Kwigon, every other normal user has to preview and I don't like it either. Especially when it takes double the time undoing vandal's edits, but I live with it like everyone else does. beejay 13:39, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

---

I just don't understand why I have been here for like 2 and a half years and till now I have to do edits like that, am not used to it, since when is this thing like that? also other wikis does not have this, you can save right away.
--Kwigon the sharpshooter 14:28, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

---

I understand you and I'm the same, but I would usually preview my edits first anyway. I only wish it didnt include rollback edits too. And it's been like this since May, check here as you can see theres already been a discussion about this before. beejay 14:52, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

---

Hmmm if I understand well theres a way to by pass the preview, or anyone knows how to do that group "trusted" to add people there so they can edit protected pages and do roll backs and skip the preview thing?
--Kwigon the sharpshooter 15:05, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Took me 30 seconds to bypass it the easy way (disable JavaScript..), another 5 minutes to figure out how to disable it without disabling JavaScript. I'm using Opera though, and I'm guessing most of you use Firefox. Been trying for the last 50 minutes in Firefox, but I give up now. Disabling JavaScript is an 'option', though it will render alot of pages useless or ugly and it will disable quite some functionality. GreasyMonkey just doesn't do what Opera can do without addons, so I have no clue how to disable it in Firefox. Might try Chrome tomorrow, just for fun :).

And for crying out loud Kwigon, it's spelled edit.

I wasn't in my home when I posted that, some words my brain can't memorize and I always make the same mistake. Never mind I will wait till the trusted grup is created and I am added to it so I can skip preview XD

I've modified MediaWiki:Common.js to test permitted users, try clearing your cache and try again. Hopefully I didn't epically screw up, but no promises. -- Sixorish 02:20, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Nevermind this, was spitting out errors and it didn't work, clearly. -- Sixorish 03:05, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks I don't have to preview each time to eddit, BIG thanks.

User:Manjyome Black is probably the next account to vandalize Water Elemental (Helmet of the Deep was already verified several times to block Water Damage). NeWsOfTzzz 07:31, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

always preview

Since 3 days ago i don't have to preview before i edit pages, it is much beter this way, but i don't know if it is right, but i hope so. I usualy preview big changes, only shorts texts and when i "undo" something i don't preview. --Maguu 08:15, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

---

Was caused by an error on my end in the script enforcing the preview, which should now be fixed. You won't notice it, since you have rollback permission. However, others should actually notice it.

undoing edits @admins @rollbackers

Just a reminder: when undoing edits that are mistakes and not vandalism remember that not every user knows about Special:RecentChanges or about page history and edit summary so they may not know why their edit was removed or a page deleted. Please make a habit of leaving them a message on their user talk page explaining it. They will see a note at the top of any page reminding them they have an unseen message. --DM ><((°> Contribs <°))>< talk to me 19:48, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
On an unrelated note i think this page should be archived as soon as all present conversations are no longer being discussed. It is too crowded.

Vandal acount User:Lanon33 he is admiting hacking, buying and selling real money, scaming, and moking at CIP. And yes this page is too long now, it should be archived, its geting slower to edit it.

Set a user edits into the watch list?

Is there a way to add a user to the watch list, so if they contribute again you can see their edit in bolt? This would be useful for people that does 2 or 3 bad edits then stop for like 4 months and comes again and do 2 more bad edits.
--Kwigon the sharpshooter 13:34, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

This works the same with user pages as it works with any other page. Go to the desired page, add &action=watch to the end of the url (or if this does not work, click on edit and replace &action=edit by &action=watch). ^^ Bennie (talk ~ fellows) ^^ 15:26, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

---

No, you can't watch a user's contributions page. What you can do, though, is add an RSS feed which will list their most recent ones.

Includeonly/noinclude

There seems to be a problem with these two tags but I'm not sure why. I just made an edit on The Snapper and it now says "Invalid tag extension name" and then checked another page eg. [1] (previewing without making an edit) and it came up with a similar thing for includeonly, am I the only one seeing this? beejay 14:34, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

---

Odd .. I've fixed Premia, which I thought was because the rich text editor converted (one of) the noinclude tags to use HTML entities instead, but I can't find what was wrong with The Snapper... Commenting a gap between the noinclude and the spoiler tag seemed to fix things, but that doesn't explain why it did that... -- Sixorish 15:25, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Ive got the same problem, I was wanting to edit darashia d lair, and adding new templates was impossible
