User Name[edit]

Welcome to the Wiki! I moved your navbar to it's proper place: User:Dervish of ascalon/WetBar and updated the link on your user page. Since your registered username has a lower-case "a", make sure you create any more userpages in the same manner. Thanks and have fun editing! ~FarloUser Farlo Triad.pngTalk 06:26, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, I figured out what NOEDITSECTION does but what is NOTOC?--Dervish of ascalon 11:41, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
NOTOC disables the table of contents box at the top of some pages. More info on those controls can be found here. ~FarloUser Farlo Triad.pngTalk 08:45, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
NOTOC is short for No Table of Contents, sorry I didn't see this earlier. You need to post questions on the user's talk page and not your own. They can't monitor all the user pages. Be sure to back up your pages once you get them finished. This way if vandals ruin your pages you can copy them back. I have about 10 text files on my PC.--Wendy Black 10:17, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
You don't even need to backup the pages, the entire history of the wiki is in the "View history" tab. From there you can see any and all changes to the page, undo recent edits, and view/copy the syntax of older revisions. ~FarloUser Farlo Triad.pngTalk 10:20, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
Yikes! I know her, she would try to backup the internet if her hard drive was large enough. lol :D --Jabhacksoul 20:57, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

New Page Format[edit]

Wiki user Wendy Black aka Red Death Witch originally created my first page for me and I just cloned that one. I really liked the format she used but I asked her if it was posible to place the navbar down the side. She said it was just tables and she would look into it. I did a Homer Simpson DOH! In sudden realization that tables in HTML are of little difference. Wiki has just replaced the TR and TD with pipes. So I fired up Open Office and started making my own design. This is based off Wendy's original template, which she borrowed from Lensor, who lives in Sweden and they borrow a lot of movies from us which makes the record industry unhappy... where was I? So I saved my table in HTML and opened just the table in wiki and started the replacement process. The main changes I made to my character template is;

  • Table sizes with multiple resolution settings.
  • Removed Male symbol, all my characters are male, I'm a male, get over it.
  • Took out Height, short, medium, tall are not enough info to be included. If GW scaled it in feet or meters...I would.
  • Added Weapon since this goes hand-in-hand with Armor.
  • Took out Other Accomplishments and moved it to Biography at bottom.
  • Relocated user-boxes and thumbnails below the vertical navbar.
  • Character image on the right.

Not that anyone other than the moderator would read this page, if you want to post criticism below I will be certain to ignore it. Thanks! --Dervish of ascalon 09:02, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

Thank's for the heads up on this mine look like crap. I will give your template a go. --Jabhacksoul 14:52, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
Check it out. I am thinking about what RDW is saying about templates, what do you think? Good idea or bad idea? Should I just make one template and spam the data into that or what? btw I gave you cred at the bottom of my pages.--Jabhacksoul 21:38, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
Great job, and what she said.--Dervish of ascalon 17:14, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

New Hero[edit]

I see you unlocked a new hero and added the icon image to your page. That must be part of the Winds of Change you were telling me about. Well all I have to say to you and Jab is "I will get there, when I get there."... :) --Wendy Black 15:08, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

He does seem to want you to move along. Go ahead enjoy the game at your own pace. --Dervish of ascalon 18:40, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
