User talk:OriwaK

Welcome

Hello O-a11y! Welcome to UESPWiki! It's always good to have 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!).

Please consider supporting the UESP elsewhere on the web:

Feel free to practice editing in the sandbox. If you would like to discuss the games or lore, consider checking out our blog, our Discord, or the forums. If you need any help, don't hesitate to contact one of our mentors. Lastly, thanks once again for joining the UESPWiki, have fun! —⁠Legoless (talk) 07:16, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome! I noticed you fixed some of my links on the Netch Leather page; I apologize if I caused any extra work for you. —O-a11y (talk) 20:30, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

Page Protection

Thanks for noticing that Skyrim:Dragonborn was unprotected. Usually, when a page moves, the protection moves with it, but that was a custom change and was therefore missed. I ran my old bot, which is still responsible for page protection at this point, and it caught the moved page as being linked from the sidebar, so it's all good now! Never would've thought of it if you hadn't mentioned it, though. – Robin Hood ^(talk) 21:21, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

Thank you (and HotnBOThered) for taking care of that! I'm glad I could help out in some way. --Oriwa ^Talk 21:30, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

Bloodmoon: Tree Stone

Hi Oriwa

I notice that you added Hirstaang Forest to the Region section of the Tree Stone template, thus making it appear as if the stone is part of two different regions. I was curious as to your reasoning for doing so. Checking in the Construction Set, the Tree Stone is located in cell (-22,21) which is defined as "Solstheim, Isinfier Plains". While it may be close to the border of the Hirstaang Forest as mentioned in the article (in fact, the only non-Isinfier Plains cell surrounding (-22,21) is (-23,20) to the southwest, which is defined as "Solstheim, Broder Grove"), the game data does place the stone within the Isinfier Plains region. Since a single cell cannot be defined as part of two different regions, I believe including Hirstaang Forest in the Region summary is inaccurate and somewhat misleading technically. Any enlightenment you can provide as to your reasoning is appreciated. Thanks! — Wolfborn↝^(Howl) 12:07, 30 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi Wolfborn. The region parameter used to say Hirstaang Forest but it was recently changed by an anonymous editor to Isinfier Plains, and I wasn't sure which was correct. Notably the Tree Stone is listed in the place section of Hirstaang Forest but not Isinfier Plains. Since the Tree Stone is described on its page as being on the border of the two regions, I thought the best compromise would be to put both regions in the template. If the Construction Set says it's in the Isinfier Plains then I do agree with having that being the only region listed (and the Hirstaang Forest/Isinfier Plains pages probably need to be updated as well). --Oriwa ^Talk 20:23, 30 January 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply. I saw that anonymous edit as well and checked the CS at that point to find that it was a legitimate correction. I've edited the page to clarify the Stone's location as per Construction Set data. And thanks for pointing out that the Hirstaang Forest / Isinfier Plains pages needed corrections as well; I've updated those to reflect the correct location of the Stone. Cheers! — Wolfborn↝^(Howl) 00:52, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

Congratulations!

Per your successful nomination, you are now a patroller! With this comes the ability to patrol edits in a much wider area of the site. Consider reviewing Patrolling Guidelines for how to patrol. You may also now add the User Patroller userbox to your userpage (I'd also highly encourage you to make a userpage!!!). Additionally, if you would like access to the patroller channels in Discord, please reply to this with your full Discord username (including the discriminator, the numbers that appear after your username). Congratulations, once again! --AKB ^{Talk Cont Mail} 13:20, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

Thanks, AKB! My username on Discord is Oriwa#6311. And I'll definitely get around to creating a userpage soon :). --Oriwa ^Talk 17:08, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

Congratulations!!! You'll do great! And welcome to the world of red exclamation marks! Jeancey (talk) 18:20, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

Hello!

Hi OriwaK, thanks very kindly for leaving that nice summary in my talk page! I am new to editing... why is it that when I leave a signature, it is not a clickable link for people to contact me if needed?

And sorry for cluttering up your user talk page with an entire section just for this! Sheesh (how else to do less conspicuously?) Cheers! eslofe 00:25, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

In your Preferences, under "Signature", turn off the box that says "Treat the above as wiki markup" and that should fix the issue. – Robin Hood ^(talk) 00:33, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

No problem! And yep, what Robin Hood suggested should work. --Oriwa ^Talk 00:58, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

Thanks both kindly! eslofe (talk) 01:17, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you for fixing my formatting errors on pages I've added photos to. I'm trying to learn! — Unsigned comment by Skyrimfantasy (talk • contribs) at 17:09 on 24 March 2021 (UTC)

You're welcome! This section has some helpful information about formatting images. Also, you can sign your talk page posts by adding four tildes ( ~~~~ ) to the end of your message. --Oriwa ^Talk 17:31, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for the modifications and corrections you've made on the page I created (Painted Eye) ! I really appreciate it ! I am but an humble argonian (talk) 09:22, 3 September 2021 (UTC)

Of course! Thank you for creating it! --Oriwa ^Talk 21:12, 4 September 2021 (UTC)

ns_base

Hi! Rather than adding the ns_base param to the Creation Club citations on those lore articles, it would be much more helpful to move those texts to lorespace and transclude to SR. I've undone your ns_base additions so that this can be done. —⁠Legoless (talk) 12:54, 11 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for letting me know. I noticed that many of the texts were notes and journals, so I didn't think they would be getting lore pages. I have no objection to that though, so I'll move them to lorespace. --Oriwa ^Talk 02:01, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
