User talk:UnknownG

Welcome!

Well met UnknownG! Welcome to UESPWiki! It's great when we get new members. If you would like to help improve any of our pages, you may want to take a look at the following links:

• Policies and Guidelines: UESPWiki standards and expectations
• Help Contents: a list of in-depth Help pages
• Quick Editing Guide: a quick guide to wiki markup
• Getting Started: how you can help
• Uploading Images: Guidelines on image standardization

If you would like to spice up your userpage, click here for a list of userboxes you can use, including a guide to making your own.

When you're editing, it's always a good idea to leave edit summaries to explain the changes you have made to a particular page, and remember to sign your talk page posts with four tildes ~~~~. Also, the "show preview" button is a great way to view the changes you've made so far without actually saving the page (our patrollers really appreciate it!).

Feel free to practice editing in the sandbox or discuss the games on the forums. If you need any help, don't hesitate to contact one of our mentors. Have fun! Forfeit (talk) 15:40, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

Project Tags

Please don't remove those OBNPCRP tags, even if they're fully complete. We use them for categorisation purposes. —Legoless (talk) 00:34, 26 January 2017 (UTC)

MWOP Spells

Hey UnknownG! Nice work so far on the Morrowind articles! I have a question for you. When you are looking at the spells, are you looking at the actual Construction Set or CSList (http://cs.uesp.net/index.php?game=mw)? I'm asking because, for many NPC's, their spells do not seem to show up in CSList but they actually do exist in the actual Construction Set. This was mentioned in a past discussion on the project page found here. I'm guessing this is why you are not seeing any spells for Bevadar Bels. However, since I'm the one that added the spells initially, I figured I'd check with you before adding them back in just in case something strange is happening on my end. Let me know whenever you have a chance. Thanks! Forfeit (talk) 07:50, 28 January 2018 (UTC)

Thank you so much for clarifying that! I actually wanted to message you about it, I do use the CSList but from now on I'll be working with the actual Construction Set just so things like that don't happen anymore. UnknownG 12:58, 28 January 2018 (UTC)

Image captions

Hey UnknownG, thank you for all your great edits (MWOP etc.), but please don't change all the image captions. There is no "standard image caption" defined in the style guides, it's just "generally recommended that you provide a description of your image". Many NPCs have a complex schedule, so it's good to know where the image was taken. --Holomay (talk) 23:52, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

Just saw it done before by a couple of other editors in the past, thought it was alright, thought wrong :3, will not happen again UnknownG 23:57, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

I think this topic needs to be emphasized again. There's no reason to remove extra details from image captions, as they are meant to describe the picture to some degree. If we wanted all NPC pages to have their name as the image caption then there wouldn't be a caption parameter at all. As Holomay said, location is especially important, but things like "[NPC], juggling", "[NPC]'s corpse" are usually preferable over the name itself. If other NPCs are doing the same thing and their captions do not include the detail, then it's probably a good idea to add it there rather than remove it on the page it exists on. —Dillonn241 (talk) 01:21, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

Userpatroller

Hey UnknownG, I'm posting to let you know you qualify for Userpatroller status. Userpatroller is the first step towards becoming more involved with the UESP. If you're interested, just add your name to the page under applicants. You can then also add its neat userbox to your page. --Ilaro (talk) 23:38, 11 May 2018 (UTC)

I've granted you the rights. Congrats! —Legoless (talk) 18:22, 13 May 2018 (UTC)

Bugs

I've removed a number of bugs you added to some pages, mainly about keys being useless. That information goes on the Keys page, as it is totally irrelevant to the NPC page. Bugs are only placed where the "something wrong" is with the subject of the article, the only exception being where something does not have its own page or listing (which is rarely the case), then it would go on the most likely places people would encounter such an issue. If a bug is worthy of notation on another article, such as Rimalus attacking his wife, it isn't a bug with her and shouldn't be presented as such, so it is a note. The usage of the bug template is simply for the ease of adding any fixes with a few abbreviated letters, as well as adding the categories so it can be seen if an issue is outstanding or solved.

Cookie

You have been given a cookie! Your dedication and diligence to the wiki has not gone unnoticed. A user has seen the progress you've made, and has given you a cookie because of it. Good work! The user had the following to say: I thought for sure someone had given you a cookie by now, but looks like I was wrong. You've done consistently good work finding small errors, adding unofficial patch versions and fixes, and filling in missing content for the three major singleplayer games. Thank you for all the effort you put into the wiki! —Dillonn241 (talk) 03:29, 3 September 2018 (UTC)

Plate of Cookies

You have been given a plateful of cookies! Thanks for cleaning up all those "this NPC has an ancestral tomb" notes. I noticed those, too, but figured it would be easier to wait until the person adding them was done and ask for a bot job to clean them up. Your stamina and diligence in doing so is remarkable and much appreciated! — Wolfborn(Howl) 03:24, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
