Re: Images

Some of the old image assets are actually recycled in the game now which is why I didn't delete them. For example, Isadora.png puts up her Boss Sprite which is still used in the game which is why I uploaded her NPC portrait as Isadora2.png. I'll keep that in mind for non-recycled assets though and I'll try naming my file uploads something else so it doesn't throw other people off. Save 4 Less ((talk)) 1:22, 1/28/2015 (EST)

Yea, I just realized that you have mirror Arad NPCs. Still, what about updating the maps? Are the old ones also used in some parts of the game?--Dfoplayer (talk) 10:28, 28 January 2015 (PST)

Extensions

Let me know if there are any extensions in particular that need upgrading. I don't really have time right now to do a manual comparison. Saiyr (talk) 19:37, 28 May 2014 (PDT)

Right now, DFO needs ParserFunctions to be updated. It will allow us to display Korean times and when a user hovers over it, a dropdown box will display Pacific, Australia, etc times. Thanks!--Dfoplayer (talk) 22:27, 28 May 2014 (PDT)

It's been updated. Saiyr (talk) 23:54, 29 May 2014 (PDT)

It looks better now. But to use the parser correctly, DFO wiki needs CSS (Version 3.1, 2012-01-15) extension. Thank you.--Dfoplayer (talk) 10:48, 30 May 2014 (PDT)

Added. Saiyr (talk) 11:13, 8 June 2014 (PDT)

Changed css and js. Works now. I just gotta figure out how to set to korean times. Thanks!--Dfoplayer (talk) 13:51, 8 June 2014 (PDT)

Someone unable to revert a bad change

Not sure what he was talking about exactly, but one of the rules is blocking a revert. Can you check out the logs and fix what needs fixing? Saiyr (talk) 23:41, 23 January 2013 (PST)

That was me. It took us a long while but we figured out how to get around the problem. Bernelli (talk) 00:13, 24 January 2013 (PST)

??? Unfortunately, the abuse filter won't allow me to view the logs; it just says it how many it blocked in the past 1,000 edits. However, I did changed the IRC link to what ‎Kadalyn wanted...atleast I think I did.--Dfoplayer (talk) 12:29, 24 January 2013 (PST)

I will look into why we can't see the logs later. Saiyr (talk) 12:30, 24 January 2013 (PST)

Skill Tables???

Can you make these??????!! I have no clue whatsoever how to do these danged skill tables... There are so many of the class pages that need to be updated or even finished, but not being able to figure out those tables has really stopped me... There anything you can do or is there anyway I can learn how to do these tables? - BlakDoxa 11:51, 9 December 2011 (PST)

Actually, I don't really know how to make tables. Most of the time, I check out other skills tables and copy the formatting. It hard to explain, so you have to experiment around. Try Nue talk page or some other skill page. From there, click edit and copy the code. If you "preview" and something doesn't look right, you might be using colspan or rowspan. Explained here.--Dfoplayer 12:05, 9 December 2011 (PST)

Alright, I'll try to figure out something. Thanks for the tips! - BlakDoxa 14:52, 9 December 2011 (PST)

I heard you have Admin status here now

I was told on the IRC that you were granted admin status, would you mind changing the icon? http://img831.imageshack.us/img831/9686/dfowiki2.png This is the replacement. That Under construction one has been there forever and a former admit (If you look on the main page discussion) said we could change it if we could get any replacement at all. Well here it is. Please and thank you. Copain 13:44, 8 January 2012 (PST)

lol. I would do it but admins can't change that. I think only the site owner can change it, however, I will crawl the web to peak around.--Dfoplayer 15:51, 8 January 2012 (PST)

Surely You can ask on the IRC or something this BS needs to be over with. I've asked around non stop and haven't got this. Copain 16:27, 8 January 2012 (PST)

Hmmmm. The site owner probably prevents admins from accessing the localsettings. There are work arounds, but I'd not go that path. I'll ask in the IRC soon. --Dfoplayer 16:37, 8 January 2012 (PST)

Talked to Angevon. Said she would talk to the site owner. Hopefully, the logo will change sometime soon.--Dfoplayer 17:07, 8 January 2012 (PST)

If I had known the Sysop position wasn't that big and easy to pass out, I should have just agreed to take it myself... Oh well.. Copain 17:30, 8 January 2012 (PST)

Well, you can still ask to be a sysop. I just asked since Ultratech wasn't too active and there were spammers in dfo. I regularly check dfo wiki and offical site for updates.--Dfoplayer 18:15, 8 January 2012 (PST)

We have more to do before quest.

We need to finish up the Male fighter tables and then work on the Female gunner ones. I've been making new ones here or there, and some others have been too, but the Female Gunner pages are pretty shameful. And last I recall, the Thief ones need tables too.. Copain 23:06, 9 January 2012 (PST)

Hmmm true. however I can't get used to working on other classes ever since my summoner. Everything seems pretty darn hard to lv...--Dfoplayer 23:09, 9 January 2012 (PST)

http://dnf.wikiwiki.jp/ Just go here with google chrome, it'll translate it enough to understand. Find skills in question and make a table for them. I'd have done a lot more by now, tables just suck to make... Copain 23:20, 9 January 2012 (PST)

Lol. Alright, that i can do. Sometime its easier to copy and paste into excel or other spreadsheet. then http://excel2wiki.net/ to format into mediawiki. however, u still need to do a bit of editting to get it right, like colspan.--Dfoplayer 07:18, 10 January 2012 (PST)

"Author request"

Yeah my but, you deleted that page because it was stupid, not at the author's request :P Copain 22:45, 10 January 2012 (PST)

Mhmm. My mouse was set to reason and when i tried to scroll down, it set to author. I tried to cancel delete but too late. Then again, who knows who replied to my post, as it was unsigned :S --Dfoplayer 22:57, 10 January 2012 (PST)

I did, I just forgot to add the Tildes haha.. Anyway, sorry for not updating much lately, busy with school and such, but that's how I've always been with this wiki.. Work on it a lot, break, work on it a lot.. Copain 15:35, 11 January 2012 (PST)

Avengers

Bro, look at the page carefully. It says "The first look at August's act IV updates.". The patch coming out on August 1st is act III. Please read over it carefully, if you don't believe me.

Oh I see. After reading Dfosource, I confirmed your edits. I thought they were gonna release Avenger at the same time. Sorry if I made you mad or anything. :s --Dfoplayer 22:53, 27 July 2012 (PDT)

maybe just a little ;) im pretty new around here, and I don't really know all the advanced wiki editing and stuff, but you can be assured that my posts/fixes are of 100% accuracy. :P also, did you undo the edits i made on spitfire? because they have 3 new skills that i was trying to add. -- Minimildew 8:52, 28 July 2012 (PDT)

I don't think I undid them. The history shows you just added how to adv to the subclass, not the 3 new skills. You have to create a link on Spitfire page to the skills. Just read the coding and I'm sure you can figure it out. ;) --Dfoplayer 17:37, 28 July 2012 (PDT)

bot problem

I'm going to email IJ about the bot problem. Hopefully he can do something. ---Angevon 19:10, 26 March 2012 (PDT)

lol. I was going to ask one mabi's IRC how to prevent people from making pages with less than 30 edits. I read some recent changes and Khenta was able to do that, just on mabi's side. Maybe this will help. Thanks Angevon.--Dfoplayer 19:33, 26 March 2012 (PDT)

Links to pages

Hi there! I am relatively new here. I was looking for a specific page to items and after typing it in the Search bar, nothing comes up except for vaguely-related pages. Regarding Roger Levine's page, I figured it would be easier to find items by adding links to them (only to find that there are no pages for those items...) Is the no-item-linking rule this normal for this wiki? It is quite hard to find pages for specific items in here. Sumner 10:45, 9 July 2012 (PDT)

It's not that we have "no-item-linking rule," but its just that this wiki does not have specific item pages. If you like, we can link the materials on Roger's page to the general section, here. For example, Leather section can be linked like this [[Craft_Items|'''Leather''']]. The part before the "|" is the page title, but sometimes it doesn't fit in the page. That's where the part after the "|" comes in. As you can see on Craft items page, we don't have information on cloth materials.--Dfoplayer 11:10, 9 July 2012 (PDT)

Quest Skills Table

I say we don't need the "Quest Skills" table on any of the class pages anymore. The Quest Skills page itself has nearly all the information except "upgrade levels". It will reduce the clutter and give the pages some breathing space, imo. BlakDoxa 22:53, 2 August 2012 (PDT)

Hmmm. I see what you mean. However, I'm not sure if new people would search "quest points." It's better if we leave it like that(for a link to the page). However, you are right that the page has everything we need. I can delete the individual pages, like Str and Vit training, and remove the links...--Dfoplayer 10:20, 3 August 2012 (PDT)

Thanks man! I don't think there's much else to add to the QP page, unless someone puts down "level each point is available" and/or the level cap for each quest skill. That might be kind of annoying, so it's probably best to leave it as it is. BlakDoxa 13:18, 3 August 2012 (PDT)

Armor Masteries

Don't think we need separate pages for each mastery of every class and sub-class. It would be better to list and document the effects of each on the actual armor pages. BlakDoxa 16:35, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

Yea, I see what you mean. Do you want to remove the link completely, or just make the standard link with "armor mastery|avenger armor mastery"?--Dfoplayer 17:06, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

I think the easy solution would be to just get rid of the link. I can go on some of the armor pages and add the masteries for the classes I have now, but I won't be able to get all of them. I'll fix some of the sub-slayers and sub-priest pages. BlakDoxa 18:59, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

Alright, I check the rest of the pages then.--Dfoplayer 20:36, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

Note to self and others, I just fixed classes Slayer through Male Gunner.--Dfoplayer 21:03, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

Thanks man! :)BlakDoxa 00:54, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

Being unable to link...because I'm still considered a new user

Pretty much that. anyways the direct link to what's to come of Alpha is this: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=502237356570381&set=a.491544004306383.1073741828.477239829070134&type=1&theater Mikaya (talk) 10:51, 30 May 2014 (PDT)

Since there has yet to be bots, I disabled the filter for now. The filter checks the user age and edit count. Odd.--Dfoplayer (talk) 12:04, 30 May 2014 (PDT)

RE: Cancel Deletions

Replying here to make sure you get the message. Neople has already confirmed it will be as close to KDNF as possible. There is no chance that the "Cancel:" skill pages will ever be used again. I am going to remove the links to these pages right away. We will need to eventually delete the cancel images too, but that might be more trouble than it's worth right now unless there's some sysop magic I'm not aware of. LuminantAegis (talk) 21:42, 14 January 2015 (PST)

We would need another extension to mass delete. I'll ask someone who has server access. --Dfoplayer (talk) 21:49, 14 January 2015 (PST)

Appreciated. All links to Cancel skills should be gone now. LuminantAegis (talk) 22:52, 14 January 2015 (PST)

boop

Saiyr retired, I'm doing the sysadmining now. I'm not super comfortable handing out ssh access since more than dfo-world is on this box but just let me know what you need and I'll see if we can make it happen. Kadalyn (talk) 21:19, 29 January 2015 (PST)

I see. For now, can you run as many Maintenance reports as you can? The important ones are uncategorized, unused, and wanted reports. I'll probably message you in a few months after dfo-global beta is live. --Dfoplayer (talk) 21:25, 29 January 2015 (PST)

Okay ran the script for you. Seems like saiyr turned off caching for MWW but I'm not sure how, but I'll try to figure it out for you. Kadalyn (talk) 16:25, 30 January 2015 (PST)

EDIT: Oh I found it. It will generate them when you go to the page now. Kadalyn (talk) 16:28, 30 January 2015 (PST)

I see them now. Thanks. We'd appreciate it if you added ReplaceText extension. --Dfoplayer (talk) 17:01, 30 January 2015 (PST)

Do you want LiquidThreads while I'm at it? The normal talk pages are weird to me. lol Kadalyn (talk) 22:11, 30 January 2015 (PST)

It's not a preference to me, not sure about the others. Feel free to add if you like.--Dfoplayer (talk) 22:17, 30 January 2015 (PST)

I don't care, it's more about what the site's userbase is used to I guess. Kadalyn (talk) 22:58, 30 January 2015 (PST)

Also most of the admins here seem to have left, do you know the status of them all? I know you and Tessa are active, and Ange is active on MWW at least despite what it looks like here. Seems like Tea might be around sorta, but the rest seem to be gone. Input? Kadalyn (talk) 22:58, 30 January 2015 (PST)

I am going to have to say I'm probably the only admin active here. I have not seen Tessa lately. I think I was admin since the bot vandalism era, if you check the [block logs]. I had to ask Ixy to give me Check User so i could block range of Ips since it got so bad.--Dfoplayer (talk) 23:08, 30 January 2015 (PST)

I added an Administrators page. You might want to proofread it and see if you would like to change a couple things.--Dfoplayer (talk) 06:36, 31 January 2015 (PST)

I wouldn't call myself an admin here just a sysadmin. I really only have admin here so I could bypass the newbie URL restriction. re: wiki lead, that's actually Tessa. She said she'd be more active when the game's actually out but feel free to pester her as needed in the meantime. She is around in general. Since we're talking about staff though, I think I'll go ahead and make a staff section for DFO on the forums, do you have an account already? Kadalyn (talk) 12:19, 31 January 2015 (PST)

Did the edits myself. Forgot to mention that you'd be selling yourself short calling yourself a moderator. ;3 Also I installed text replace last night, forgot to mention that too. Kadalyn (talk) 12:45, 31 January 2015 (PST)

No, I do not have an account. I would be glad to be a moderator over there though. I saw the text replace this morning. Thanks a bunch!--Dfoplayer (talk) 15:39, 31 January 2015 (PST)

EDIT: Created an account on Mabinogi World. Was that the right place since you have a DFO section?--Dfoplayer (talk) 16:05, 31 January 2015 (PST)

Yup, that's the place. You're all set up. :] Kadalyn (talk) 17:27, 31 January 2015 (PST)

Haha. You got me. --Dfoplayer (talk) 17:53, 31 January 2015 (PST)

Installed delete batch and gadgets extensions for you. Sorry for the delay, had a busy weekend. Kadalyn (talk) 16:40, 22 February 2015 (PST)

Glad you added them. This should help with mass edits across the wiki. --Dfoplayer (talk) 17:23, 22 February 2015 (PST)

Disputing your Category:EX Skills delete request

A move to Category:TP Skills is enough. The actual functionality has not changed, it is simply "official" wording. LuminantAegis (talk) 12:41, 31 January 2015 (PST)

The thing is, a category pages needs to be created. Even if i replace all EX with TP, the EX category will be there and will report unused. That's why I had a delete request.--Dfoplayer (talk) 15:39, 31 January 2015 (PST)

Request for Adminship

I am requesting to become an administrator for the wiki. You can review my request and experience here. I understand that this needs to go to a bureaucrat, however I see you online the most so it makes sense to send this your way. LuminantAegis (talk) 21:43, 3 February 2015 (PST)

Emailed the site owner. --Dfoplayer (talk) 21:49, 3 February 2015 (PST)

Considering the low traffic I'm not really sure another admin is necessary. You guys can hire whatever mods you want though for sure, as long as you need them, just let me know and I can set up a mod group. I would just copy MWW's though so you'd have to tell me if you wanted any specific permissions for DFO stuff. (PS: I didn't get an email who did you email??) Kadalyn (talk) 22:10, 5 February 2015 (PST)

I'm pretty sure I emailed you. I have an account over at MWW, and I clicked your name. Unfortunately, I did not CC myself so I can't really prove that I did email you. --Dfoplayer (talk) 22:28, 5 February 2015 (PST)

Weird, ok, no worries. I'm trying to check here regularly now too. Tested it tho seems like email's working at least. I added my email here too, so you can do it from my userpage here if you want next time. Kadalyn (talk) 00:03, 6 February 2015 (PST)

I'm not entirely sure if this is in your watchlist but I'll continue it here for context. Aside Replace Text usage, I cannot think of anything special that would be required. I only ask for it due to Neople basically retranslating the game, it will be extremely tedious for me to re-edit: Skill Names (skill changes in items, references in other articles), Item Names ( as part of drop tables, monster drop articles ), 30-40 New Dungeons and all their Monster Names (and possibly old ones) and every reference to them would need to be localized, official retranslations for mechanics: "Physical Attack Power" could be "Physical Attack Strength", "Base Attack Power" could be "Independant Attack Strength" or "Base Attack Strength" or something entirely different, "Vitality" will likely be changed to "Stamina" as per korean DNF, etc., I could easily just keep the talk up with Dfoplayer and have him do my replacements but I don't want to depend on him just to get things done easier! Finally, you do not really state the role of a [Moderator in MWW] so it is a little confusing as to what it entails aside and what tools I would have to help out. I do have contact with and have talked with most of everyone in the current Active Users list ( pretty sure I've even referred them all! ) so in that respect I don't expect any problems that would require admin tools until beta hits and the flood of users come in. (On a side note, the job advancement is now level 15, that keeps throwing me off in the CAPTCHA!) 11:41, 6 February 2015 (PST)

The description is in the policy instead. They don't have text replace access either. Anyway, admins exist to handle that sort of stuff too, so please feel free to bog him down with all the requests. :3 I suggest a staging page of all the changes that you can just submit or work together on (you add them, he or Tessa text replaces and removes them). Also I'll fix the captcha thanks. Kadalyn (talk) 23:52, 6 February 2015 (PST)

Sounds like a plan. luminantAegis (talk) 01:32, 7 February 2015 (PST)

Quick Questions

First question: Is this wiki able to run imagemaps using css coding or an extension? Second question (well more of a suggestion) is that the frontpage should have the name of the city and the dungeons inside the city to make it easier for those who aren't fully acquainted with locations in the game to navigate around.

I would change it but I'm pretty sure the frontpage is locked. + Sapphirion + My Talk+

I don't know what imagemap through css or extension is. If you go to front page, read the source, and you will find out that we are using Template:Newmenu as the front page. Only front page itself is protected. The templates are not, unless vandalism occurs, then I'd have to protect them. --Dfoplayer (talk) 08:46, 15 February 2015 (PST).

Okay cool then. I'm just gonna assume that imagemap isn't available on the wiki (its just essentially being able to put a/multiple link(s) on an image and have the image redirect you depending on where it is clicked.) I'll go see if it's present on MWW. Thanks for the help.

(And keep going. You can do this!) +Sapphirion + My Talk +

OHHH. Okay. The closest thing i can think of is [Taillteann and Tara] maps. Of course, they have icons hovering over them, but closest to what you want.--Dfoplayer (talk) 12:29, 15 February 2015 (PST)

THIS REALLY HELPED OMG THANK YOU! BUt alas, I have another question. Would it be possible to change the name of a page when the full game comes around. I was planning on creating town pages and moving the dungeons on those pages to the actual dungeon area names (EX: Dungeons at Silver Crown to Metastatic Abunova and have Silver Crown be the actual town. Say Neople changes the names from Metastatic Abunova to something else, can I change the page name?) EDIT: Should I just create a redirect when the actual game name comes out (EX: Metastatic Abunova redirects to the new name page.)

On the top of the page, a down arrow of the right hand side. There is a move button. By default, it automatically creates a redirect page, should you move a page. --Dfoplayer (talk) 16:05, 16 February 2015 (PST)

Cool. Will be making major edits to dungeon and town format. + Sapphirion + My Talk +

Help/Advice requested on getting a "contents" thing on Priest's page

As seen here Priest, there's no such thing while the other class page has it and it doesn't seem to be an easily added thing. Would you have an idea how to fix it?

Add "__TOC__" to page. Stands for Table of Contents. It reads the whole page, but places table wherever you add it. I fixed Priest. --Dfoplayer (talk) 20:41, 22 February 2015 (PST)

Thanks, I'll remember that in the future--Fishman46 (talk) 21:08, 22 February 2015 (PST)

Cat-a-lot Changes

I just noticed the changes that allowed this on the New Files Special page. Is there a way to do this with the Uncategorized Files page as well? There's where a lot of the images I've been sorting have been from. HotCat has sped things up, but I think Cat-a-lot would make things even faster.
I know how much you've been struggling with this one though, so no pressure. --Space Fish 17:04, 24 February 2015 (PST)

Yea, I added to New files. However, I still can not click the whitespace of the gallery images. I'm working on that, unless you can click them, then my job is done. I will add to Special:uncategorizedXXX, but as for clicking the whitespace, I won't know. --Dfoplayer (talk) 17:09, 24 February 2015 (PST)

Oh, you're right. I just saw the tab and automatically assumed it was functioning. My bad. --Space Fish 17:12, 24 February 2015 (PST)

I did not add uncat Categories. Some, like game system, are the top level so we should not create a category for them. Files, pages, and templates have that tab now. They do not click the whitespace. I'll see what I can do.--Dfoplayer (talk) 17:20, 24 February 2015 (PST)

Is there a way to say add certain text like a template to multiple pages easily?

As otherwise I'd have to go to each related skill page and add it. If there's not, oh well.--Fishman46 (talk) 21:45, 26 February 2015 (PST)

Not that I know of. AutoWikiBot is probably the closest. However, using AutoWiki without testing the search parameters may take some time, so its probably better for manual work. --Dfoplayer (talk) 21:47, 26 February 2015 (PST)

Now I'd have to ask what did you want? From recent changes, I'm using AutoWikiBrowser to add navskill templates to all skills. However, it is really easy because there is an option to add text at the end of the page. If you wanted a template in the middle of the page, you are gonna have to test search parameters. In that case, it's pretty much a find and replace sort of thing. --Dfoplayer (talk) 09:07, 6 March 2015 (PST)

The end is perfectly fine, and thanks for covering that.--Fishman46 (talk) 15:04, 6 March 2015 (PST)

Including Items in Skill Pages

Hello Dfoplayer. I have a question pertaining to items boosting Skill levels. Do you feel it is necessary to provide the names and/or links for the items that increase skill level relating to the specific skill page? (eg: Including a reference to Wolf Fang Pole in the Skill Page: Dragon Fang or Wind Changer for the Skill Page: Weapon Uppercut) --Altair (talk) 15:30, 9 March 2015 (PDT)

Yea. That sounds like a great idea. I remember going through rods for summoner skills.--Dfoplayer (talk) 16:54, 9 March 2015 (PDT)

Another question. Do you feel that Avatar equips and titles should be included as well? If so, there is a pretty good source online (a skill builder by dnf.exrpg) that provides the items that provide stat boosts (includes normal equips, titles, and avatars). However, the wiki doesn't let me put the link in even though I answer the questions correctly... It's quite outdated, and it's written only in Korean, Chinese, and Japanese. The last update for the item list was about a year ago. You can use Google Chrome for a base translation. Anyway, when you do select your class etc. the list of items is located as the Pink characters on top of the Skill description. Anyways, I'm not too familiar with items since I mostly played PvE, so I'm going to hold off on including items in skill pages until the released Beta. --Altair (talk) 20:01, 9 March 2015 (PDT)

More work, I suppose. I think someone had trouble with linking. Text link dnf. Are you talking about CAPTCHA? --Dfoplayer (talk) 20:59, 9 March 2015 (PDT)
