Please if you have any ideas share them with me!

Acquisition

Don't work too hard on that. Editing is great, but we have a huge acquisition project well under way that will override all current acquisition section content for combat items when it's implemented. It has the same type of information you've been adding, so you're thinking along the right track! --Novaster 03:27, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

Again, please do not spend your valuable time on acquisition sections. We are very close to completing a master template system (which incorporates the Basil template I made) and it will replace all content in the "Acquisition" section of relevant pages, thus rendering all the time you spent editing wasted. --Novaster 15:08, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

On a side note, changing vendors to acquisition is needed, and much appreciated. Thank you!

Changes to Phantamos

Hi, sry for reverting your edit, but afaik only Reskins are called reskins. So if they change the damage type, its not a reskin, since more than the skin has been changed. -Thepc 08:41, 20 October 2015 (UTC)

It's all fine, and what you are saying makes sense. --Cdst16 02:58, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

Line Breaks

Please do not add space between sections like you did on the crafting page - this is very frowned upon, but I understand where you're coming from, because I used to do this as well. If the page "looks messy" to edit, edit per section instead of the entire page. More information about line breaks (and why not to do them) can be found here. --Novaster 14:40, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

It is very unacceptable to add line breaks after being told not to. You must follow wiki format, not what you "believe" looks better. Line breaks do not look better, they look unprofessional, and this is standard wikipedia Manual of Style. --Novaster 23:40, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

Words of Encouragement

Well it looks like you're getting nitpicked a lot. I imagine this is disheartening to some extent. I'd like to encourage you to keep trying, because editing a wiki is a learning process. It shapes you just as much as you shape it. And we nitpick each other quite a lot, especially when we're learning. For example, here's someone nitpicking my line breaks, as well as an attempt at paraphrasing disguise descriptions. Here's another editor nitpicking someone else about line breaks (02 November 2013 edit comment, top right area), though I wouldn't condone using the clear template for this purpose at all. We all learn as we go. As long as editing is fun, you should keep at it. The desire to help knowledge grow is an excellent one. For the basics, check out our wiki's Style Guide. You can always get here from the navigation panel, it's under the search bar in "navigation." As you can see, it too is a work in progress as we learn to be better. --Novaster 15:58, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

Tips for editing the wiki

Hello! I noticed you are quite active lately. I'd just like to react to some of your edits:
1. Auction House prices on wiki: I think I saw somewhere something about this and that it shouldn't be on the wiki. Putting the prices here may affect in-game economy, because people will think that the item is worth the amount of crowns you put there and the prices are constantly changing.
2. Tagging pages for deletion: You could simply use {{delete}} tag (or {{proposed deletion}} for the exact same bubble you used on the page you edited, but I think that {{delete}} is more appropiate). You don't have to copy that whole bubble. I'll go ahead and edit it.
3. Reuploading the same image: I think you figured this out already, but don't upload the same version of the image, if it doesn't update imediately. It's also mentioned on the Special:Upload page in big red bubble. You simply need to give it some time. You may notice something similar with regular pages. I heard something with "purging" them, but if you updated it and you want to see the changes, you can go edit it and save the page without any changes. Then you can see your changes, however others will still need to wait to see them. This method works only with the regular wiki pages, not images. I don't know much about purging, since I've never used it. --Matusm (talk) 05:35, 8 April 2017 (PDT)

Thanks I agree with the first statement about Auction House economy, just wasn't sure if it was fine or not to add because that was another type of acquisition for the darkfang shield. Second statement I also agree with, makes tagging easier etc. and the third one, yes I tried to upload once but it looked like it did not upload for me that's why I tried a second time and realised my mistake, I am trying to get at least 10% of the outdated pictures up to date and to put deletion tags on vandalism etc. so it can be reported and deleted, but it is hard work. I also need the eyes template updated to look like the materials template, small and a list of stuff to add to the Vatel page I was working on updating to current standards :) --Cdst16 (talk) 16:38, 8 April 2017 (PDT)
