Gahoo, I was thinking about adding in the mob special ability tables. I wanted to ask something first though. Do you know if all the special abilities have been updated with the area information or is that something I need to look up first? --Techno 18:06, 13 December 2006 (EST)

I'm sorry about the catagory. It was a catagory that was found on one of the Vana'diel Tribune pages, and I didn't realize it was not a full catagory at the time. Illuen 21:19, 13 December 2006 (EST)

Gahoo, the monster special ability tables should be done now. Let me know what you think. --Techno 23:18, 23 December 2006 (EST)

Hey Gahoo. You linked to an "Edit" page again on the Main Page. ;) CableMonkey 13:29, 18 December 2006 (EST)

Yeah, I think they look really nice combined with the background. SE can make some pretty nice pics sometimes ^^ --Chrisjander 09:56, 19 December 2006 (EST)

You don't want us to list the HQ results in the Synthesis recipes? --Poof 17:08, 29 December 2006 (EST)

Okee dokee ^^ --Poof 20:24, 29 December 2006 (EST)

I just added another template, in case you're interested to know it's there:

{{EnchantmentDetails}} and it's talk page to describe how to use it. --Chrisjander 13:56, 8 January 2007 (EST)

Hobbies and I fixed up the mining icon and clamming, it should look more like a gem and a bucket with a shovel now (respectively). Let me know what you think. --Chrisjander 16:57, 12 January 2007 (EST)

User:Silly Dan (contribs) has been vandalizing people user pages. Please ban him. --Chrisjander 11:13, 18 January 2007 (EST)

Done --Mierin 12:35, 18 January 2007 (EST)

Is reverting disabled for non-admin users? I was trying to revert this edit but I can't find the option anywhere. --Divisortheory 18:20, 22 January 2007 (EST)

Caharrin keeps vandalising the Historical Background for Apocalyptic Beast. --Charitwo 13:19, 22 March 2007 (EDT)

Caharrin continues to edit it without discussing changes in the respective talk page. --Charitwo 14:30, 22 March 2007 (EDT)

User:Altoc has been vandalizing a user guide, which I removed. --Chrisjander 23:09, 26 March 2007 (EDT)

Wrong user, he hasn't done anything wrong that I've seen. User:Scaraba only made an innocent change, not knowing he shouldn't change the opinions in named guides. User:Altoc is the one that vandalized the article. --Chrisjander 00:53, 27 March 2007 (EDT)

I didn't notice an image policy for the user page while browsing around. I will make sure to adhere to the guidelines in the future. -Stiker 19:34, 7 February 2007 (EST)

Could you put an end to the discussion of food subcategories? There haven't been any new points made in a while, and since it's a relatively minor change (in my opinion), I don't see a real reason for the decision to be pending any longer. ~ Karuberu 20:14, 17 February 2007 (EST)

Just a minor thing to fix... You misspelled database in the following paragraph in the main page:

Finally, if you are just feeling adventuresome, click the Random Page link in the Navigation tool bar. This will take you to a randomly selected page in our FFXIclopedia datebase.

Sorry to bug; just thought you'd want to know. If you find any mistakes I've made, please let me know.  :)

--Quintes 21:14, 20 February 2007 (EST)

I took care of it ^^ --Chrisjander 21:35, 20 February 2007 (EST)

I thought categories could be moved... but it may just be that I can't move them. Please see Category talk:Renkei. Since we moved Renkei to Skillchain, User:Jopasopa brought up the idea that Category:Renkei should be moved to Category:Skillchain. I told him to switch the categories on all the skillchain pages, which he did, but then I found that the Move function was absent on the category page (for me). If it's possible, could you move the category for me? --Chrisjander 13:28, 24 February 2007 (EST)

Please see Moderator Forum for full list of what I want deleted. Thank you. --Nynaeve 19:54, 24 February 2007 (EST)

I've noticed the recent changes you've made to the Auction House categories and really like the formatting, nice work.--Charitwo 13:29, 27 February 2007 (EST)

Thanks for the reminder. I'm going to go back and get the HQs after I finish the NQs. ~ Karuberu 14:34, 27 February 2007 (EST)

Since we have to deal with certain situations often enough that arise from new users being unfamiliar with our policies (and the Welcome template doesn't seem to get read very often); I've condensed the Image policy regarding User pics into a template to put on unsuspecting violators' pages. {{User Pics}} Tell me what you think ^^ --Chrisjander 23:17, 1 March 2007 (EST)

Could you please fix the broken links on FFXIclopedia:General disclaimer as I do not have the proper permissions to do so. --Charitwo 18:42, 12 March 2007 (EDT)

Also, in 2007 - (03/08/2007) The March Version Update is Here!. [[mercenary rank]] should be title case, [[Chain of Promathia]] should be [[Chains of Promathia]]. I can't fix those either. --Charitwo 19:40, 12 March 2007 (EDT)

Ok, I'll get back to work on it. --Techno 18:10, 13 March 2007 (EDT)

Why does the monster page redirect to mob? The game uses monster, mob is slang; shouldn't it be the other way around?

Looks like they're melting. --Charitwo 19:30, 14 March 2007 (EDT)

Just wanted to say that I loved the RSE article you made, keep up the good work! --Pook 13:38, 18 March 2007 (EDT)

I was going for a lighter look for the pictures, to sort of put the user at ease. I'm not sure the big X's in the new image help with that. Perhaps we could just use the frog instead? I was thinking we could use the same sort of image for all of the official policy reminders, to make them look more like reminders, rather than "STOP!". --Chrisjander 12:06, 19 March 2007 (EDT)

I got an image of the Poroggo if you want me to upload it. --Charitwo 13:27, 19 March 2007 (EDT)

User:Elfmanmagic is the same person as User:IVIIJIN, I'm almost sure of it. --Charitwo 19:53, 20 March 2007 (EDT)

How about this way: [in Arms] --Ganiman 11:09, 22 March 2007 (EDT)

The problem I see with that is.. why not just link that image directly to Youtube instead of embedding it in the article? I think it looks good when placed right in the article. We could put it at the bottom instead, but I don't think it's size is too overwhelming where I had it. If we're going to link to a sub page that only contains the video, I say just go right to Youtube.. otherwise I think it should be in the article's main page - but maybe we can find a more agreeable location for it. --Ganiman 11:20, 22 March 2007 (EDT)

A sub page might work for multiple strategies, if we could design a template to follow that puts the video in a table with a description of the strategy so you don't have to watch a 10 minute video to learn that this strat will not work with your available jobs. We could also just build this kind of table at the bottom of each article. --Ganiman 11:39, 22 March 2007 (EDT)

I like it, I think I even like the colors. --Ganiman 13:47, 22 March 2007 (EDT)

Could you perhaps change the color of the YouTube announcement slightly, it's too similar to the color for new talk page messages. --Charitwo 12:02, 22 March 2007 (EDT)

I like that table. I have a few issues with it though, but they are all easily fixable.

• I'm colorblind, it's hard for me to tell which is which when I look at that. I know lots of other people are as well, it's best to use colors that really stand out from each other. Like yellow, black, sky blue, and dark orange or something.
• I'd want the "circles" to be clickable so they can take you directly to the page about the piece. Similar to how I made the ✓ link to the armor page in all those tables. Again, this isn't very hard, we could just produce circle_orange.gif, circle_blue.gif, etc and have them link to the page. But all in all, I like that concept more than the one that's currently being used. --Divisortheory 17:06, 22 March 2007 (EDT)
  • Edit: I just realized you even suggested this in your post, hehe. Guess I should read the whole thing next time :D --Divisortheory 17:10, 22 March 2007 (EDT)
• For some reason the background transpacency isn't working. Any ideas? I set the transparent color in the GIF, exactly like with the check.gif image (which works). --Divisortheory 18:21, 22 March 2007 (EDT)
• I tried this idea with a "zone" based table also. It's not quite as symmetrical and pretty, do you think it still looks better? The two options to compare are:
  • Bhaflau Remnants Table 1
  • Bhaflau Remnants Table 2

Is there any particular reason you chose to upload the version you did over Ganiman's? The original version is most accurate and does not include the branding Cartarugrapher: Yobun. Just curious. --Charitwo 11:11, 23 March 2007 (EDT)
