The Weird Snake With 6 Arms
Hi! I was looking at the new covers of the forthcoming Drizzt reissues. There is a picture of some kind of snake that has six arms plus a head! It's on the Passage to Dawn book cover, and I was wondering, just for D&D reference exactly what it is. DrizztTheSlayer 23:41, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Reissue Book Covers
The Drizzt books are all being reissued, and you have the covers for all of them up to The Silent Blade, I believe. I was wondering if you knew what the new cover was for The Spine of the World (novel) and DrizztTheSlayer 23:41, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Adding more options to templates
I would like to add a "hiddenstructure" option to the person template. For the entry on Adalon, the class option is not necessary, and this would also be true for many other peripheral characters. However, when I added the "hiddenstructure" option, it would not work with the class table template. In other words, when the class option was made conditionally hidden, it would always hide a class table. I'm not experienced enough with wikicode parsing to make the changes myself. Would you please make the change?

On a related note, I also want the option of adding a 2nd edition rules reference to the class level. If you take a look at the Shradin Mulophor infobox you can see where my 2nd edition reference doesn't look right. I'm not sure how to fix the extra vertical space. Do you have any ideas? Thanks so much for the help. --Ebakunin 03:05, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Nice Touch
I just wanted to say I really like the pipes/coins/mugs icons you made, they're terribly clever. A very nice touch! Johnnyriot999 06:34, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Citation template question
Hi. I once saw you comment you'd corrected a citation template, so I'm asking you this for want of any better clue as to whom I should ask.

I assume that technically, games used as sources should be citeable as well. I'd like to create the templates for doing that too. But I'm not sure how the syntax of the citation goes - for example, who's the author of a game? Do they even have anything corresponding to ISBN numbers? So if you'd have an idea of what information such citations should include, I'd appreciate if you could tell me.

Another thing is that I wonder if it should be somehow mentioned if the game data has been accessed with another application. Some things (like character attributes) are not visible within the game itself, at least without the creative use of cheat codes, but I can access the data with Infinity Explorer. Ville V.

Diety articles
Didn't know that wasn't allowed. Will attempt to rewrite tomorrow, maybe if I find some time tonight still. -- Sneltrekker 21:18, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Ok, I just rewrote what I did on Haela, will you let me know whether this is enough or not? If it's fine like this I'll rewrite the rest of the deity articles I duplicated in the same way. Otherwise I'll make a second attempt if you give me more pointers as to how exactly to make sure it isn't too close to the copyrights anymore. -- Sneltrekker 22:06, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Alright, thanks. Will get the other deities I did fixed ASAP, and then continue writing more, immediately in my own words this time. ;) -- Sneltrekker 22:16, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Quick update before going to bed. Rewrote Ubtao Ghaunadaur and Kiaransalee. Three more to go. Deeply sorry if I caused any trouble for the Wiki -- Sneltrekker 04:07, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Thank You
I just want to say thanks for supporting and sticking to all the recent categorization and formatting changes I've tried to help put foward. I really think it will help with the accessibility of the wiki and I really appreciate the effort. Thanks and cheers! Johnnyriot999

Thank you for your comment about my spot on a major inaccuracy. Dubtiger April 27, 2007, 10:29pm EST

Clickable Maps
Hey Focke, would it be possible to add something like this to our wiki, would be awesome for maps like Image:Faerun political.jpg. Cheers, Zerak talk 22:15, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Great work - maybe I should have mentioned that I had already drawn all the polygons for the map myself.. Anyway, I was thinking it'd be a great thing to have in the Geography portal, and on the Faerûn page. Zerak talk 15:03, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Referencing Sites
I found this site that links to what appears to a be a sourcebook called A Grand History of the Forogtten Realms. From what I've gathered (here, near the bottom and here) it seems to be an independently created, previous edition of the source book that will be released later this year. Regarding this site, I was wondering your take on whatever rules there are about referencing non-GNU licensed/non-WotC web content. The Help page was not much well...help, in this case.

 * Cool. Thanks for clearing that up. Johnnyriot999 23:05, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Disable Ads
Is there a way to disable the ads on the right side of the page? They're starting to distract me. DrizztTheSlayer 00:00, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
