Signing posts

Hi Leord: I got your message but I am not sure about the best way to answer to you. In fact, editing this post is the only way I could think of. How do you make sure there is a new message tag that pops up on your account when I send you a message? Anyways, yes I am currently trying to update the prefixes and suffixes data on diabloII wiki. I am not that experienced with Wiki (I work trial and error mostly) but I have been playing Diablo for 5 years so I know the game pretty well now. (unsigned: 08:33, 26 August 2008 Widus)

Cool! Well, take a look at this talk page, this is basically how to do it. Just remember to sign your posts on talk pages, to make it easier to see who posted =) Just make any edit on my talk page, and I'll get a small notification next time I log in to the wiki. To reply, just use ":" in front of the text, like I did here, and make a new headline for new topics. Make new headlines on top. We can keep discussions on one page, instead of flip-flopping here and there, and I assume my talk page will become quite busy, so lots of interesting things will be dealt with here ^^ I must say that you seem to be doing fine, and the prefixes and suffixes are important parts of Diablo, so great Kudos to you! Feel free to come back here and ask me for anything, small or big, I'm here to help =) --Leord 14:37, 26 August 2008 (CEST)

Great. Thanks! Widus (11:51, 28 August 2008)

Question about signatures and Diablo III fact page

Hello Leord!

Should I sign every page I edit? I understand signing the user pages and so on, but lots of times the edit can be only a small one and I don't want to take credit for it by signing the whole page. Could you clear this one up for me? When should I use signatures?

Also, is there a Diablo III fact page yet? The kind of page which collects all the interesting facts about the game: release date, number of acts, playable character classes, game engine and so on. Not an in-depth article, just a quick "fact sheet" so people won't have to search all those little pieces of information all by themselves across the wiki. As the recent boomtown article tells us there's going to be four acts and confirmes once again that there's five character classes, it might be enough to start such a "fact page", especially when the news are that the barbarian is the only recurring character class. --Mouseman 08:41, 23 August 2008 (CEST)

Hi Mouseman. You should only sign talk page edits. As for any other page, they would be cluttered with signs everywhere, and we're doing this as a communal project, so everyone's edits (that are not vandalism) are welcome and appreciated.

The fact sheet is a great idea, and while we don't have one, I'd post it in the news even if you did something out of the Fact Sheet. I think we have the official sheet laying about, I know Flux mentioned it in the news recently, might be in the Diii.net articles section... Something to start from, and add to. Probably not that advanced, and the Boomtown article might be some cheat sheet help as well. =) --Leord 14:37, 26 August 2008 (CEST)

Minor Edits?

Hi Leord,
Question for you: does flagging an edit as minor yield some advantage when dealing with the revision history? What is the threshold for determining whether an edit is a minor change (i.e. is there a convention or is it mostly for typos)?
--Azymn 08:29, 23 August 2008 (CEST)

Good question! We currently do not have a convention for it, and the main reasoning is to be able to hide it in the Recent Changes. So, for right now, please do check it if it's minor, but if you don't, it's no biggie. I'd say that typo changes, or changing a word in a sentence to make it easier to understand is placed as "minor". =) --Leord 14:37, 26 August 2008 (CEST)

Horodric Cube

Hi Leord. You left a coment on my talk page but I can't recall what changes i made (they are not listed in the page history!). I wrote a Mac OS X editor for D2 characters. And sometimes actually play the game. Is there anything you specifically need help with? Nickshanks 12:00, 17 September 2008 (CEST)

Class and Skill formats

Hi Leord, good to see you on the liveblog the other day. About the character/skill pages: now that we have a bit more info on characters and skills, I was thinking to rewrite the character screens and skill lists so they're more consistent, and hopefully present the data we have now a little better. I figured I'd wait a few weeks for all the new info to trickle in before doing this, but wanted to run it by you to see if that approach is too drastic or if you (or Flux or Elly) have a strong idea of how you want them laid out. I planned to make some temporary pages for preview purposes. Thoughts?
-- Azymn 05:16, 14 October 2008 (CEST)

That sounds awesome! I know they need reworking, and never be afraid of playing a bit with the wiki. I recommend making test pages on your profile page. Just do it like this: User:Azymn/Barbarian_skills, and we can discuss it there as well. Make sure to poke me, in case I miss the updates in the recent changes page. --Leord 18:07, 14 October 2008 (CEST)

Message

Hi, Leord. You left me a message somehow. I'm still getting used to using this here wikithing. I'm glad you liked my edit in the jewels section. Some of that looked like it was written by a 7-year-old, but I felt like it'd have been too much effort to fix up properly. --Doctorjorts 17:51, 3 October 2008 (CST)

Ok, do you mean it's too much mess to fix at all, or just that it was a bit bad? --Leord 18:18, 14 October 2008 (CEST)

NPCs page linkup and greetings

Hi again Leord! The NPCs page isn't linked properly in the main page pull-down menu. I don't know how to forward pages so I was wondering if you could do it? So the category:Npcs page should be forwarded to category:NPCs.

I was kind of bummed that you didn't mention me in the main page news when you thanked people's effor on the wiki ;) Did you forget me so soon? :) Well, anyway, I try to polish the NPCs page yet again and do an edit about Adria the witch today. Probably will be inactive after that for a while, though. Keep up the good work!!--Mouseman 09:41, 25 October 2008 (CEST)

Thanks Mouseman! I fixed that, and you can look in the Help:Redirect page for help on how to do that in the future. I'm really more interested in fixing the actual menu links than making redirects, but they are usually good as well, so thanks for being so astute! =)

I blame the wiki for not crediting you, as it only shows some 500 edits max in the recent changes. ;) I only said thanks to the last week or so worth of contribs, but I added you to a "friends" list of mine, so I haven't forgotten about you! You're still one of the best contribs ;)

Even if you don't have time to bring in contributions, try to take the time to check your messages (or mine), and post suggestions and opinions on the Community Portal talk page. Even if you don't personally do big things all the time, it does help others to feel the wiki is alive =) --Leord 11:53, 27 October 2008 (CET)

Message

Hola Leord! How's it going? I hope that everything is well :D

This wiki is very nice/informative and should be the bible for the Diablo series. I'll be checking stuff out and correct spelling/add info or fix stuff...I like to lurk :p I think that this wiki is headed the right way and people are helping out a lot to fill it in. --Shayagor 17:19, 25 October 2008 (CEST)

"Like to lurk" huh? =) I understand if you don't have time to do bigger things, but just crawling around pages and adding your opinions to discussions like the Community Portal, messages here, or on individual pages for pages. It really helps to make the wiki feel more alive, even if you mainly help with the polish, such as spelling and numbers. =) --Leord 12:06, 27 October 2008 (CET)

Tal Rasha

Leord, thank you for your compliments on my Tal Rasha article. I am new at this so thanks for editing it with links and categories. I appreciate it. I am quite interested in Diablo lore. I will probably do a few more of the pages that the main page of the wiki lists as wanted. Thanks for the help. --Centipede_t 11:18, 10 November 2008
