DnD footer
I have updated the gaming footer to DnD centric links, you can add it by adding this code  to the bottom of the main page.

If there are any wikis I missed, they can be added here: w:Template:dndfooter --Sxerks 00:20, September 17, 2009 (UTC)

For Icingdeath, it's on page 46 of Silent Blade, but I dont' know how to cite sources.

Silent Balde edition
The Legend of Drizzt Book XI, ISBN: 978-0-7869-5054-6

Avariel Page
Thanks for the clean-up on my edits. I'll try to stick to that format if I add anymore, but I cant promise I'll get it right. I was actually just trying to reword the info to be a little more true to the descriptions in the manuals. There are other aspects such as where they are found and relationships to other creatures that could be explored, but didnt know if you had a set format and didnt want to create other headers that might break with any said format.

Deleting Clan Macrae image on userpage.
Hey there, You deleted an image from my user page that you shouldn't have. The picture is of and about my family and as such I am free to use it however I please, so please don't do it again. --Macrae 22:26, October 12, 2009 (UTC)

In response to your query
I've been a bit busy of late, but I'm still paying attention to the wiki. School's become a priority as of late, however. You know how life is. ;) Niirfa-sa 05:19, October 13, 2009 (UTC)

 * Why would you need to create a Forgotten Realms Wiki when a perfectly good one already exists? Fw190a8 (talk &middot; contr) 18:16, October 27, 2009 (UTC)

RE: References Great Dale
Is that what you’ve meant? Advise me accordingly.Thank you.--Looptop 21:24, October 27, 2009 (UTC)

Yo!
It's good to be back, man. VERY good to be back. hashtalk 21:41, October 27, 2009 (UTC)

Deleted pages reborn
Wouldn't it be interesting to add a page listing all the deleted (well not the spam) pages to the Adding Content section of the Main Page, just like the ones that exist for "stubs" and "wanted pages" so that they could be improved and then posted?
 * You can see the list of deleted pages in the log here http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=delete&user=&page=&year=&month=-1&hide_patrol_log=1 but it seems cumbersome to want to recreate articles from that list, since a lot of it is 1 random spam, 2 copyright violations 3 deleted for policy violations 4 deleted because a page was moved, mis-named etc. etc. Also, please sign your talk page comments by adding four tildes (~) Zeraktalk 15:09, November 11, 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your answer. I thought the idea was interesting as users could recorrect plagiated pages without having to rewrite the whole page. I reckon it is a difficult balance to have both a detailed and unplagiated page, as every bit of information will inevitably have been drawn from a copyright-protected document (eg. Hasbro/WotC) Duneth 15:49, November 22, 2009 (UTC)
 * Basically the reasoning behind deleting plagiarised pages is that otherwise, someone could use the 'history' tab to view plagiarised material, so in the interests of respecting copyrights, we will delete plagiarism and force the article to be created in a way that respects copyrights.

Overly non-canonical stuff
I am not sure if this is actually against the rules, but should lore created by random people be allowed here? I mean, seeing all these damn NWN and BG pages is annoying (Don't get me wrong, the games themselves are great, I play them, but annoying inconsistencies arise from their stories. I mean, how the hell did a Drow matron manage to bind an arch-devil???), but at least they have proper writers. This query is, more specifically, referring to the majority of the links on Starsword's User Page... Wereguy2 07:04, January 14, 2010 (UTC)

Need Help
An interesting choice of callsign. If I follow your example you could call me UH60L but that's not why I stopped by. I'm brand new to wikis and have never contributed to any before but I find myself with some spare time between flights these days and thought this would be a good thing to use to fill that block. I've expreimented with editing several posts but find that I need to start referencing my edits. I have read the help section on citations and have used the longhand formula to reference a couple of books. However, nowhere could I find instructions on how to permanently save those citation templates for use by other editors and the only thing mentioned was 'ask to have one created for you.' Any help you could give would be great. Thanks!--Crazyhorse75 15:04, February 18, 2010 (UTC)

Citation Issue - Semberflow
I am wonder how you do a citation off of a map? The info for the Semberflow starting at Lake Sember and going to the Ashaba comes just from looking at the map. Lethalox 13:01, July 11, 2010 (UTC)

Pool of Radiance adventure book
I wouldn't be the one to ask if it was canon; WotC would. However, it's been treated as if it was canon in all subsequent sources. The relevant text has actually been entirely reprinted in Dungeon #170, so I should probably change the citation to that. -- Rowan Earthwood 16:35, July 25, 2010 (UTC)

Spell templates on non-spell articles: I agree
I agree with your assessment. We could also do with a similar template for magic items (I used the spell template for "Ring of enduring arcana" and "Belt of priestly might"). Maybe a catch-all template for such enchantments and items is in order. Perhaps something like the creature template, wherein the article type (Weapon Quality, Ring, Boots, and so on) appears at the top. (In the creature template, the creature's type appears in small print at the top.) StarSword 20:21, July 27, 2010 (UTC)

I've almost got a template completed at Template:Magic item, but it's having a little trouble. What's with this text:  {{ #if:1st|  StarSword 03:58, July 28, 2010 (UTC)

Q’arlynd Melarn
Although not cited, this edit is correct. Can’t you simply put the   tag at the end of that paragraph instead of removing it? ➳ Quin 22:46, September 28, 2010 (UTC)

Images
Sorry about not responding didnt notice I had mail. I have started putting down the source website normally amazon or wizards.com for the images and also amended them to show as book covers. Do I need to do anything else

Sorry about that, didn't mean to alter the class. Bowser64 19:00, October 9, 2010 (UTC)

Thankyou
Thanks for the feedback Fw190a8. My contributions are small but I'm grateful for any advice and help you(or others) can give me on helping this wiki to grow. --Eli the Tanner 20:09, October 13, 2010 (UTC)

Wikia's new skin
With Wikia making big changes to their skin (making an Oasis-based skin default), I was wondering what, if any, steps you're taking to preserve the format of this beloved wiki. I (and apparently many, many others) dislike (hate) the way the new skin looks, what with it removing so much content space, and I'm really hoping there's a way for you to save the current skin. Please let us know! Cronje 13:32, October 14, 2010 (UTC)

Citing Dungeon Magazine
What is the best way to cite Dungeon Magazine articles? Lethalox 21:31, October 15, 2010 (UTC)

I think the cite for Dungeon Magazine needs to be change to reflect pre-Paizo publishing of the magazine. Lethalox 01:05, October 16, 2010 (UTC)
