Re: Dagger of Tikola Quest Edit

My Apologies for making a change to reflect how this quest was now. I will refrain from doing so in the future.

I changed the color schemes on the skill pages, they were unreadable before. If you would prefer different colors that's fine by me. I figured it was most important to be able to see the text :D --Immortalbob (talk) 13:58, October 29, 2018 (UTC)

Re: Wiki Questions Edit

Hey there, thanks for the detailed reply! I was able to chat with Bob briefly in Discord as well, so I think I am fully up-to-date on the status of the wiki. The reddit discussions you linked were exactly the type of information I was looking for.

I was fairly active on acpedia.org making edits back in 2013-2014. Looking at my contribution list, I have been able to verify that they are pretty much all merged with the current wikia/fandom content. That is good because my main aim was always to contribute for the community. I'm in the process of getting back into the game, so any edits I make going forward will be on fandom. Although, I will most certainly be using acpedia.org for browsing/reading purposes.

My own story is actually fairly similar to the AC wiki. I was an admin on the Dragon Quest Wiki on wikia back in 2009-2010. In 2010, we decided to go independent due changes being forced by wikia. That is when I created dragon-quest.org and ported everything over. I still run the site today and am part of NIWA which is an organization to foster collaboration among independently hosted wikis. So I can identify with the challenges and decisions that you have had to make over the years. I still very much dislike wikia/fandom, but I admit that if I do get hit by a bus, the Dragon Quest wiki is probably in trouble. --Pagoda (talk) 01:59, July 28, 2019 (UTC)

You wrote "I saw your recent changes to some Neftet quests. Do you have a source that shows those changes existed at the end of retail? Official release notes, screen shots, packet captures, etc? Thank you. --An Adventurer (talk) 17:28, March 4, 2020"

Hi there!

Yes, I recreated all of the content for Neftet that was recently released to Coldeve and the Drunkenfell ACE servers. The content is also in the works for GDLE conversion. To answer your question, I studied the data for several months, watched numerous videos on several of the quests to jog my personal memory and meticulously re-created everything as perfect as humanly possible according to PCAP data. What changed was mostly quest rewards as Legendary Tokens were phased out, and several videos confirm the updated rewards.

They were outdated both here and acpedia. I also reflected these changes at acpedia. I hope this answers your question! Feel free to message in in Discord in the ACE channel under Drid#4917 in the contributor channel, or the LSD channel under content contributor. All of us in the AC community appreciate your diligence and efforts in maintaining these wiki's! Since the content is "fresh" again, I felt it deserved to be corrected as players will be coming here now that the content is available once more!

Regards, Drid

-Hi, you may have missed it in the discussion but the reason for retaining the link in the section heading was to have the current link there. Of course for recent posts, the current and the original will be the same, or a duplication. But for older pages before the redesign in august they will be different. Do you think instead we should just list all three below? Or should we retain the prominent current link in the heading? The only reason I kept the old link in heading was because of redirects from other pages, but it shouldn't be hard to find those with the right search. --[[User:Tlosk|Tlosk]] 05:28, 11 December 2008 (CST)

-Maybe to make it nice and clean we could just use a list of aliased links like this?

-== Article title question ==
+== Your Wiki Manager ==
-Hi An Adventurer, I'm wondering why you re-changed the naming for [[69.8S, 59.7W - Obsidian Golem Vent]]. Having the coordinates in the title seems to be counter-productive and not the standard, as most people don't search by coords, but by name. And there are only a few articles that have the coords in the title, which I tried to correct, and you changed back. It seems to me that the article's title should be the actual name of what is at the coords, and then a page with the coords could redirect to that proper title, such as [[Obsidian Node Pyramid]], [[Aerbax's Citadel ]], etc. Only two articles, [[57.0S, 68.8W - Heartland Portal]] and [[69.8S, 59.7W - Obsidian Golem Vent]] seem to not follow the standard article naming conventions. Doesn't it make more sense to have them redirect to [[Obsidian Golem Vent]] and [[Heartland Portal]]? <small>[[user:LingMei|'''Ling''']][[Special:Contributions/LingMei|♥]][[User_talk:LingMei|'''Mei''']]</small> 11:26, 11 December 2008 (CST)
