Hi, Defender, welcome to UESPWiki! I hope you don't mind that I just changed your name into a red link. I noticed that your user page and talk page were both ugly error messages, which I assume were created back during our infamous server problems in late December. So I deleted them so you could start afresh. Feel free to fill them in with something more attractive than error message :) And thanks for giving the wiki a try again, even though your first attempts to edit here were probably pretty discouraging with the various problems we had in December.

I hope you don't mind that I reorganized some of the pages you just created. I'm mainly trying to think ahead to what makes most sense in the long term. Having two identical pages, such as Shivering:Dawnfang and Shivering:Duskfang gets hard to maintain, so I changed them both into redirects to a single page. And with Fork of Horripilation, the general way to deal with two identically named pages is to have a disambiguation page, such as Shivering:The Museum of Oddities. If you'd like to rearrange the Fork of Horripilation info similarly, and have any questions about how to do it, let me know. In general, if you have any questions feel free to ask! Thanks for the contributions you've been making! --Nephele 17:23, 2 April 2007 (EDT)

A warm welcome from M'aiq too! M'aiq hopes you have a very pleasant (and maybe even productive) time on this nice wiki (: Keep up the contributions! M'aiqM'aiq thinks talk serves no purpose. 17:26, 2 April 2007 (EDT)
Thanks for the welcome!
No, I don't mind at all. I have no idea why I had error pages for my user/talk pages and thanks for fixing them! I'm glad (for the most part) the server problems have passed. It's a great collection of info.
As far as the pages I created, you're right. Having a central page for the both of them makes more sense and is easier to maintain.
For the fork, one was the quest name (The Fork of Horripilation) and the other is an item (Fork of Horripilation) so I thought it needed 2 seperate page. A disambiguation page is fine.
