Shar edit
All I did to that article was remove that one bollocks line of text about Shar's Chosen. I don't know how the template got changed. -hash
 * I would, but it doesn't appear to be there, nor does it show up in the revision history. I must say...I'm more than a little confused. -hash

Ashaba
Damn. I thought I'd caught all of the broken links. I went through every page I could find looking for them. Oh well. Thanks for the heads up on that little problem. -hash

German Forgotten Realms Wiki
As a reply to your last comment: There already is a small German Forgotten Realms Wiki called Faerûnpedia. It's administrator asked here, if the wikis could be linked. I think it would be a great idea, if one could just add a de:article name to get a interlanguage link the way it is done in wikipedia. But I, like said admin, User:Paffdaddy, don't know how wikis can be linked like that. Maybe you know more about this? Daranios 13:08, 3 January 2008 (UTC)


 * With regard to that, yes it's very possible to have multiple languages here at Wikia. See Languages to read about it. I will go over to that site now and let him know about the possibility of having it hosted here instead! Fw190a8 22:30, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
 * The Faerûnpedia will change to Wikia, i have registered it and I only need the confirmation from Wikia.--Paffdaddy 13:43, 4 January 2008 (UTC)


 * I made a long time ago a Forgotten Realms Wiki at Wikia, but I haven't made a lot there and worked by the old Faerûnpedia. Now I decided to work on the new Faerûnpedia again. I have the person who said at that time she will help me (it was User:Rieke Hain) asked, to make Interlanguage Links, but she didn't answered me and the other User who wanted help. I hope she will react this time. --Paffdaddy 12:16, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi!
I'm glad to see you're still editing. :) Quietdrive 05:30, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Template:Person
It has warped alot of pages, e.g. Karsus. Zerak talk 21:02, 7 January 2008 (UTC)


 * I thought carefully about the change to the template before making it, knowing it would break some pages, but I think that because the pages are fairly easy to fix, and this change should improve the template a lot, I thought it was worth it. Age is now calculated automatically, even for deceased people, so there will be less errors and a more consistent look. Fw190a8 22:28, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

RE: 1st vs 2nd edition
I also changed it back once I'd realised what I'd done. -hash

From the Great Library of Greyhawk
Thanks for stopping by--I was inspired to move all the Greyhawk infomation on Wikipedia when I noticed that you guys had created an all-FR wiki! Good work!--Robbastard from the Great Library of Greyhawk.

Images
FW190a8 where did you get this image from and can you edit it. I would like to use the right side of the Savage Frontier to show where Delimbiyr Vale is! or be lazy and get you to do it for me :-> Hurtzbad 04:25, 13 January 2008 (UTC)


 * I created this image myself using the 3e map of the Realms as a guide. I was only planning to make these for the regions of Faerûn (northwest, north, west, etc) and the "subregions" of these (savage frontier, sword coast north, silver marches, etc). If I created one showing the location of the Delimbiyr Vale, I would need to create one for places all over the Realms to maintain a consistent look, and that would take a very long time, so I'll have to say no.

Re: Palarandusk
The only reason I was trying to keep Category:Dragons clear of articles about specific dragons was because it has Dragon aging and Feint of honour. I thought the category should either have articles about dragons or be the category that lists all the specific dragons, but not both. Looking over it more thoroughly I see now that info Feint of honour can be moved to feint of honor (how'd that duplicate get by us all?) and Dragon aging can be moved to Category:Dragons by age.

As such all the articles about specific dragons I think can be put in Category:Dragons as per your example. I hope my reasoning made sense even if it was flawed. Johnnyriot999 18:16, 17 January 2008 (UTC)


 * I see your thinking there. I'm not sure that the feint of honor and dragon aging articles should be in Category:Dragons. That category should be for articles about individual dragons, or categories containing articles about individual dragons of a dragon subtype (like Category:Red dragons). I am very much of the opinion that "blanket" categories should not exist. For example, the "Drow" category used to contain all kinds of articles like individual drow, drow cities, the drow languages and things that are only partially related to drow. This leaves quite a messy category, and I believe that categories are intended to be more specific than that. We now have the Category:Drow settlements category so that people can find only settlements that are inhabited by drow.


 * I think that having "feint of honor" and "dragon aging" in the "Dragons" category made it into a "blanket" category. Personally I don't believe that "dragon aging" should go in the "Dragons by age" category, because this category should be used for individual dragons, but I do believe that the "dragon aging" article should be linked in the descriptive text at the top of the article. As for "feint of honor", perhaps it would be appropriate to have a "customs and rituals" category, within which there would be a "dragon customs and rituals" category, containing this article? Fw190a8 05:57, 18 January 2008 (UTC)


 * I agree about not wanting to use blanket categories. But to different dragon aging from the specific dragons in that category the "| " method could be used to differentiate like putting the wizard article in category:wizards. I'll mkaew the edit to show you what I mean and I'll revert it if it doesn't work. Johnnyriot999 01:57, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
