Boss

You keep adding speculation to the Boss article, against the wishes of all other editors. I tried to discuss this issue with you at Talk:Boss. I waited two days for you to respond, but you did not. So I reverted part of your edits. Now you have reverted my edits. Rather than reverting each other, let's discuss this issue at Talk:Boss, please. Jdavis 00:42, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

Blank Sections

The pages you've recently edited to include more loadout information is actually a hindrance. I understand what you're trying to do but... Please only include sections if there is content for the section. Leaving emptiness makes the wiki look very ugly, and is something we try to avoid using various techniques (particularly small things, such as "{{???}}"). I'm going to have to undo all of those edits. Furthermore, not that you could have known this so it's not your fault, we're going to be moving these recommendation sections to guide subpages. The reason for this is because the geography/mission pages are official information, while loadouts are opinionated. We could certainly use help populating those subpages in the future. --Novaster 14:12, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

I had thoughts that there are weapon recommendations, yet there aren't any shield, armor or helmet recommendations to survive specific levels &/or missions. I placed those there so the slots would be placed in. If they rather be placed into sub-pages, I understand. Just trying to help out others. --Knishtra52 15:00, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

I really get it. I'm working on a related template this very moment :). If you're there I'd like you to test it out in a minute. --Novaster 14:36, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

Sure. When it's ready, let me know. --Knishtra52 15:00, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

If you just use ~~~~ it will automatically add your name and a timestamp. It's weird I know. Just write --~~~~, preview to see it, and save. There's also a "sign" button over the edit window, second from the right (looks like a cursive signature). Of course, we only use signage for talk pages to facilitate discussion. --Novaster 14:54, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

Like this? I'm a bit new to this. --Knishtra52 14:59, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

As long as you used the four squiggles, yep. Saves a lot of time typing out your user name and the timestamp.--Novaster 15:09, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

Loadout Content

Back to the template:

• I've made an example using Heart of Ice/Loadout.

• Take a look at the template's documentation: Template:Guide/Loadout/doc.

• make this page for Legion of Almire.

--Novaster 15:09, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

• Then adjust Legion of Almire so that (See this edit comparison for an example):

1. ) The opinionated section is gone
2. ) Change the see also section so that loadout=yes for the see also template.

In this way, we can "sneakily" build up loadout guides gradually, instead of having empty spaces for two reasons: the guide pages themselves will only add the equipment sections if they are populated, and the location pages will only link to their loadout guide if editors make them do so (if every place had a loadout guide, then I'd just make yes the default and there wouldn't even need to be a switch. But if I did that now there would be red text everywhere!). Additionally, they are clearly bundled up in a subpage, allowing them to be useful, but not troublesome for wiki content on "official" articles. I have to go outside and do some landscaping now. Have fun and good luck! --Novaster 15:23, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

That legion of almire looks good. Try to add a helmet and armor to it, and a trinket and battle sprite. --Novaster 15:24, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

There. Did what I could about that. Now I need to rest. Anyone want to do more loadout guides, feel free, and if I feel like doing a few more, I'll do what I can. Have fun, and happy guiding, Knights! --Knishtra52 15:40, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

And I have to go do landscaping. Thanks for helping the wiki, we certainly need it. --Novaster 15:45, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

You're welcome. --Knishtra52 15:55, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

Grey Havens

We should figure out if their name is a LotR reference by asking staff. I'm 100% sure it is, but I'm not putting speculation on the wiki. --Novaster 01:04, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

Hmm... well, we could. Worth a shot. I'm just not sure about that reference, since I don't get the LotR references a lot. EDIT: Got our answer from Cronus. It is indeed referenced to LotR. See his reply. Guess you got what you asked. Ok. Gotta go now. Later!--Knishtra52 01:34, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

Outdated Release Notes Calendar

Ok. It's come to my attention that the Release Notes Calendar is severely outdated. No one's edited it since 2013. I took the obligation to keep it up to date, but I've just started to learn how.

Should anyone be up to this task, please join in, and we'll keep that calendar up to date. Any volunteers? --Knishtra52 12:26, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
