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)

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They were outdated both here and acpedia.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

-Way back you made a post on the discussion board here about having people write commentary style columns and Connor is a huge creator of original content, like his in game distributed book of crafting. A few days ago on a Turbine boards thread I invited him to do as you suggested. I see you've moved your own pages to User:An Adventurer but I'd be fine with it either way myself. It might be nice to have a nice clean title for people that will be making original contributions or commentary (like the Tlosk's Tidbits you suggested back then). In the meantime I made redirects to avoid anyone coming to an unfriendly deadend page.
+== Your Wiki Manager ==
-The primary distinction I think being, with regard to policy is whether material is of general interest or if concerns a single user. The issue being content in the User namespace won't show up in searches at all unless you do an Advanced Search and explicitly include the User namespace. It's set up that way to keep personal pages that aren't of general interest invisible. But I think would work contrary to the content's purpose for general material that lots of people will be interested in viewing. --[[User:Tlosk|Tlosk]] 17:34, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

-The edits that show up are replace text edits. This function uses its own unique permission type and it overrides the bot one so shows up. I've configured it so only bot accounts have access to this tool. It allows you to replace text across the entire wiki. While logged on a bot account the [[:Special:ReplaceText]] link will appear on [[:Special:SpecialPages]].
+Regards,
+Drid
-You enter the text to find, what to replace it with, then hit Continue and a message indicating how many undifferentiated instances there are (places where the new text already exists), hit continue and a list of all the instances will display with a check box by each one. Hitting Replace will then load all of the instances into the Job cue (that were still check boxed). The cue does a replace every time someone uses the wiki (to balance out the load on the server) until all the requested changes have been processed.

-I'm almost done changing the icon files (done A to S) and will be running it again when done to change the icon to Icon on individual pages (maybe, there may be too many so may need to whittle the number down some first).--[[User:Tlosk&#39;s Bot|Tlosk&#39;s Bot]] 19:00, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
