Polished Brass Necklace of the Rider and Polished Iron Bracelet of the Rider

Hello SjsharksBoy. You missed the Item: in front of the Pagename. I moved the two pages Item:Polished Brass Necklace of the Rider and Item:Polished Iron Bracelet of the Rider. Barny (talk) 14:23, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

The "disambigpage" Parameter needs to match the actual page name, including the namespace. That is typically the issue when moving a page or doing a copy and paste.
See the "Tips for New Editors" -- How to move a page" above.

Epic Battle Rewards

Hey there, just wanted to check in with a small change I made to one of your edits. I know the item is of Teal (incomparable) quality, but I think it might be better to say "Gold" here because it tells people where they can get the item - lots of Helm's Deep rewards are teal! Thoughts? Sethladan 15:31, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

FYI, the HD awards are still screwed up. With the change in personnel, (the layoff of the person updating all of the loot tables) it is unclear how quickly they will be fixed.
We'll see what happens when Update 13 hits Bullroarer, hopefully, next week.

Adding new users

When you add a page for a new user --

  1. for the User page, simply make it an empty page and add: Category: Users to that page.
  2. for that user then also create a Talk page (just click on the tab) and insert the {{Subst: Welcome}} there.

Thanks for the spam cleanup :)

If you can blank or remove any URLs from the edit summary that would help prevent search bots from patrolling the URLs from the history. Thanks again! --Lotroadmin (talk) 06:55, 27 March 2014 (UTC)

I promoted you to admin :) you now have the power to delete the spam ..... A big thanks to your help with fighting off the NSA. Seriously it's only the NSA spamming lotro-wiki, which I only assume are code words for rogue assignments.... :) (okay i'm stretching it a little bit....) If you can, swing by my talk page, click on tools and email user (me). It's not a requirement but I like for all the admins to know how to reach me for various reasons. --Lotroadmin (talk) 05:37, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
Thank you very much! I very much appreciate it. :) SjsharksBoy (talk) 05:45, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
Well it's actually a 'thank you', it's all the editors that make this site, from the random spelling corrections to the new pages and spam cleanup. I effectively just pay the bills and do a little linux admin work on the side... well i don't even do much of that.. it's all automated... (okay i have some skill'z')  :) .. What i'm trying to say, the thanks goes to you.. not me. --Lotroadmin (talk) 05:48, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

When deleting pages...

...please be sure to get the talk page, too, and clean out "What links here". Thanks! Sethladan 11:14, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

Ah right, I forgot about the talk pages :$ Sorry! I'll make sure to watch for both of those next time I go on another one of the deleting sprees! Balorgor (talk) 18:36, 24 July 2014 (UTC)
No problem - they're easy to miss and there's usually not much leading to them. I guess there's not much reason really to get rid of them, but it's nice to clean up loose ends, right? :) Sethladan 19:54, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

Expression Error

The Template:Reward always use the "name" of the Item Tooltip for the name. For changing the name, you need "|plural=<new name>".

If you compare it with the Template:Barter, who use the renaming as you made it in Quest:The Blocked Supply-lines, but on the Template:Barter the Item name has to be the same as the icon name. Example 4 Marks works nice, but Barter|Wildermore Coin|10 Wildermore Coins not. You have to write the icon name [[Barter|Wildermore Coin|10 Wildermore Coins|icon=Silver Token of the Riddermark}} (show the difference with edit).
I like the Template:Reward much more :-) Barny (talk) 16:16, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
Ah ok, that makes sense. Thank you :) Balorgor (talk) 18:09, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

request to delete a user

I have an old account I made way back when User:Ledviper, for some reason I did not tie it to an email address and I have no idea what the password is. I have no desire to retrieve the account. Hopefully this message can get that done, if there's a better/prefered way of contacting admins in the future please let me know -- LED (talk) 23:41, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

Deleted it, cheers! Balorgor (talk) 02:50, 3 September 2016 (UTC)

Post on User talk:Lotroadmin

Hello! I made a post on Lotroadmin's talk page that involves some pages you deleted a few years back, so I thought the conversation might interest you. Gestrid (talk) 21:02, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll check it out. Balorgor (talk) 02:45, 17 November 2018 (UTC)
