Discussion with Lotroadmin

Sorry for the delay, sometimes we just a bit busy --Lotroadmin (talk)

The delay of what, exactly? --Gestrid (talk) 02:55, 27 September 2014 (UTC)

Oh, you changed my status to... Editor? Thanks! --Gestrid (talk) 03:25, 27 September 2014 (UTC)

Gave you another bump in powers! Thanks! --Lotroadmin (talk) 05:23, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

I noticed, and I inquired about it on your talk page. -- Gestrid (talk) 05:25, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

Feedback from Taz

hi! thanks for your note today on Quest:The Road to the Lonely Mountain, that's good info. i did roll back your changes to Instance Cluster: Rohan, because that page's text is copied from the in-game store verbatim. i'll look around and see if there's a better place to mention that; failing that, we can add another section to the instance cluster page.

Special Events on Homepage

The Special Event on the homepage says Summer Festival, even though that finished up a while ago. --Super3588 (talk) 18:21, 15 August 2014 (UTC)

Don't be shy, you can modify it when needed! ;) I've put the usual "None at the moment.". -- Goingbald (talk) 21:35, 15 August 2014 (UTC)

Don't forget that the main page is protected, Goingbald. ;) Thanks Super for catching the needed change, though! If you notice something like this again, a better place to comment would be on the talk page (like Talk:Main Page) - Lotroadmin usually just takes care of the server administration stuff for us. Sethladan 22:58, 15 August 2014 (UTC)

Thanks Goingbald and Sethladan for that. --Super3588 (talk) 23:27, 15 August 2014 (UTC)

Dead Marshes quests

Just an FYI -- the quest category listing was based on the way things existed during the Beta. Turbine evidently added a large number (4 or 5) quests to the Dead Marshes in the release.

Thanks! Glad somebody besides me has been through the Marshes :) In fact I've been leveling my alts and haven't been back to the Marshes since the release :)

Actually, it wasn't the way I saw it pre-edit at all, at least during Beta 2. --Gestrid (talk) 18:37, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

Tips for New Editors

What is this language we use here? The code we use is called wiki markup. It is not HTML but under the hood the wiki-engine creates HTML from the markup; see Wiki Markup for more information. Lotro-Wiki uses MediaWiki which recognizes wiki-markup, many HTML tags, and CSS. Staying Current In the left-hand column, the link "Recent discussions" will list any recent change to a talk page. Using that link is an easy way to "stay current". An even better way is to chat with other editors and admins. Red links in Preview Mode If a link turns out red it indicates an error, usually a typo or "page not found". Something that should be fixed before saving them page. However, when editing in newly added areas we accept red links for pages expected to new added soon; all red links can be found using a link under "Special Pages" in the left-hand column. Removing "Stub" Tags Some pages have an Article Management Tag, meaning the page needs additional work. When adding the missing information, please remove the tag, which removes the page from e.g. Category:Stubs/Mob or whatever category the page was tagged for. Creature vs. Mob "Mob" is an enemy inside an instance, while "creature" is any other enemy. Kill vs. Defeat At Lotro-Wiki we never say "kill" but always say "defeat". How to Delete a Page? Only Administrators have the ability to delete pages. Instead you can tag a page for deletion by adding {{Delete Page|<reason>}} at the top of the page. However, we prefer to keep old pages around for reference so we use the {{Obsolete}} tag. Similarly, certain information on a page could be useful for future reference. Either hide that info under a collapsed table titled e.g. "obsolete info", or move that info to a section at the bottom of the page, similarly titled, or to a new page with a name indicating the info is old. Chat with other editors for advice. How to Move (Rename) a Page? Only Administrators can move a page, use the {{Move}} tag, and give a reason why.

Help needed

Need help about something, who is good with making templates? I need a template to look like this...

Profession:	Tailor
Crafting Level:	Master (Tier 5)
Recipe:	Superb Radiant Armour Recipe

... to have "Profession:", "Crafting Level:" and "Recipe:" written in, but the rest of the table to be empty for inputs...

Steppenwolf (talk) 14:58, 4 June 2017 (UTC)Steppenwolf

Steppenwolf, do you mean something like this?

Profession:
Crafting Level:
Recipe:

Of course, it would also need a background color in order for people to see that there is, in fact, something there.

By the way, sorry for taking so long to get back to you. — Gestrid (talk) 07:34, 8 June 2017 (UTC)

Yes, that's what it should look like without inputs... Background colour is not necessary, it looks pretty good already... Also, I need a template for guild crafting info, to look like this...

Guild:
Guild Recipe:

Basically, I need templates just to input informations without creating or copy-pasting tables all the time...

Something like this...

Outputs:

Craft Item
Exquisite Radiant Armour
Exquisite Radiant Dwarf-make Armour
Exquisite Radiant Elven Armour
Exquisite Radiant Westernesse Armour

I'm no professional with table templates, but I'll see what I can find. I'll look though Wikipedia's templates and see if one of them can be modified for our uses. I won't have time to do that until sometime tomorrow or over the weekend, probably, though. — Gestrid (talk) 23:07, 8 June 2017 (UTC)

Ok, let me know if you fin out something useful...

Steppenwolf (talk) 18:44, 11 June 2017 (UTC)Steppenwolf

Sorry, doesn't look like there's anything there that can help. There are templates for use in a table, but not to create a table from the ground up. My guess is that tables are simply to dynamic to be hammered into a single template. — Gestrid (talk) 19:56, 11 June 2017 (UTC)
