Copyright page edit perms

May I get permissions to edit the Copyright page? It hasn't been updated since I set it up and I'd like to keep it current. --DhampirDamsel (talk) 03:27, 30 July 2023 (CEST)

Thank you!

It did work and I've updated it. --DhampirDamsel (talk) 19:25, 30 July 2023 (CEST)

right spelling of quarterstaffs

Hi Taylan,

I saw that you created the weapon page for the quarterstaff, but made a spelling mistake. Quarterstaffs is the plural (not staves). I tried to change it, but failed, because there is more to change than just a few words and i am still new with this. Do i need to create a new page at bg3.wiki/wiki/Quarterstaffs and after that delete the old page? I don't feel comfortable with deleting pages yet... So could you correct that page, if possible?

p.s. thanks for all your work! you're doing a lot to make this wiki complete and helpful 👍

p.p.s: thanks for your quick answer! I and my dictionary of choice didn't know 👍

Accidental Removal of Info

That removal on SH's page was totally not intended. I don't even remember removing anything there in fact. I think it might be because two edits were made simultaneously --HeliusNine (talk) 08:40, 23 August 2023 (CEST)

• That weird edit also claims i've edited in "Tell BOOOAL he is a fake god, tell him you are going to kill him and take his power." And i can tell you I didn't touch the approval part of that article, so something weird is going on. --HeliusNine (talk) 08:44, 23 August 2023 (CEST)

Page deletions

I'm currently trying to clean up the images and categories, and part of that is collecting blanked pages and (later) duplicate images for deletion.

So to that end I've made Category:Suggested_For_Deletion to keep track of them, and any other pages that might need to be.

Unfortunately someone else with permissions will have to action the actual deletions

I'd also love to have a deletion template where I could explain why a page was marked, offer ways to dispute it etc and also make it more accessible for other users but I don't have permissions for template editing.

Sorry to dump both of these issues on you, but without access to the discord atm I don't wanna spam people trying to find someone to help. - Harakoni (talk) 00:35, 27 August 2023 (CEST)

Template Editor Permissions

Is it possible for me to get template editor permissions? In my on-going attempt to get categories at least somewhat cohesive, it'd be really nice to be able to automate some categorization e.g. Template: CharacterInfo already takes Race as an input, categories like Category: Elves could be automatically populated by every page that lists the race as elf or some subrace. If its a matter of experience, you can see some of the templates I've worked on at the RimWorld wiki. - Harakoni (talk) 04:52, 6 September 2023 (CEST)

Grant template permissions

Hi Admin -

May I have template permissions? I do not have plans to add new templates, but I may want to create some in the future (if I ever see a need). I have created templates for https://kynseed.fandom.com/wiki/Kynseed_Wiki

Right now, I just want to edit existing templates. One example: Template:NavRivington => "Father Clements" should be "Brother Clements"

Thanks! -Sam

One extra book written by Haskinn Xesilaphin

I found a final book penned by the scaleless dragonborn author Haskinn Xesilaphin that isn't mentioned in this wiki. It's titled "Alchemical Extracts" (it can be found at The Open Hand Temple, in one of the bookshelves in the room with Father Lorgan's body) and the author mentions consuming poison to end their suffering. I'll be honest, the whole wiki editing thing is going way over my head so I figured I'd mention this to an admin so someone who knows their stuff can actually add it to the wiki, haha.

Kled Legendary Action

@Taylan I updated the Kled page to include, probably a mistake from Larian, his legendary action in Honour mode. You mistakenly removed it, understandable as the legendary action specifically says "Dror Ragzlin". I'm just messaging here to inform you I undid your undo as I would want the wiki to as closely match the game as possible. I've included a screenshot as proof https://imgur.com/a/NJXLSsE 72.34.116.200 04:49, 14 March 2024 (CET)

Hi. I wish MediaWiki let me add a note when reverting an edit, because I know of the bug and thought we should probably remove it from the wiki since it will likely be fixed in an upcoming patch. (I wrote that in the Discussion page of the article but I guess you didn't see it.) You have a point too though, so instead of removing it I've now added a note to the page explaining the situation. We can simply update it again if they remove it in a further patch. Thanks for your contributions by the way! Taylan (talk) 09:53, 14 March 2024 (CET)

I did not see the discussion page. I just expect, when looking at a wiki page, to see everything related to the character even if it is a bug and will be removed in a different patch. I thank you for your reply and for the reasons as to why you initially removed it. 72.34.116.200 20:28, 14 March 2024 (CET)

Physical resistances

Wasn't sure where to put this, so I hope you don't mind me writing this here.

There's an issue with the new way resistances are shown in the infoboxes of NPCs. It used to be with the in-game symbols but now it's just text. This is a problem for the physical resistances because it doesn't distinguish between magical and non-magical attacks. For example, as it stands now this werewolf is shown to be fully immune to physical damage. That's wrong of course, he's only immune to non-magical physical damage, magical weapons can wound him just fine. Plenty of other examples. I suggest we go back to the old way of conveying that information, the symbols didn't have these problems. Sparkle (talk) 07:20, 15 March 2024 (CET)
