Ambient Dialogue
Hey Elsie,

Do you need any help to finish this project?--DeldiRe (talk) 12:59, March 2, 2015 (UTC)


 * Hi Del, thanks for offering. I made the ME3 "Ambient Dialogue" subpages as an experiment and something to use as an example in a possible future proposal. The first step of the project is to justify the addition of ambient NPC dialogue to begin with, so I'll put together a section for the MOS and organise the project and vote around that. If the proposal passes, new AD content can be added whenever someone has it ready and it conforms to the MOS. Elseweyr talk &bull; stalk March 2, 2015, 16:25:54 (UTC)

Need an second opinion
Hey Else, I need a second admin to weigh in on the debate I seem to be having with Temp over the Homeworlds 2 article. See

The issue shows, in its final scenes, both the Human-Reaper and Tali on Rannoch, as Rael'Zorah's speech plays over the images. I originally tried to add a trivia note that Tali is shown on Rannoch despite being able to die during the Suicide Mission. Temp reverted it, saying it was just a sunset, yet the article text still stated it was Rannoch. As a result I subsequently removed that from the article text after a subsequent attempt to add the trivia note was reverted. I also later added a note about the Human-Reaper. Temp has since reverted both those edits, and in a somewhat snarky edit comment has stated that it is meerely an artistic rendering of Rael'Zorah's speech, despite the fact that is not what the issue shows.

The way I see it there are two ways of interpreting the issue:
 * Either the Human-Reaper and Rannoch are shown along with the Battle of the Citadel, highlighting Rael's speech with Tali's role in the major events of the Trilogy, in which case there needs to be a trivia note stating that despite those events being shown Tali can possibly die on the Suicide Mission.
 * Alternatively if Temp is correct and that is not Rannoch, then the mention that it is in the main body of the text needs to be removed, yet a trivia note of the Human-Reaper's appearance is still necessary.

I'm hoping you can help resolve this issue. Garhdo (talk) 19:57, March 23, 2015 (UTC)


 * be careful with throwing around words like "fact" as the limitations of any storytelling medium - especially one trying to fit in a multiple-choice storyline - will always ensure some ambiguity will creep in.


 * as to your insistence on a trivia note, the events aren't. it's a sequence of panels illustrating rael'zorah's speech, which may or may not be on point depending on whether your tali lives or dies. what is "impactful" or "interesting" about this? tali living or dying isn't at the very least - it's a story outcome that can happen after hours of normal play.


 * is there a "continuity error" here worth noting? again, tali's status whatever the outcome is treated as valid. first and foremost consider you're reading a visual medium where the items in question fit right in as foreshadowing, as a what-might-have-been, or as aesthetic filler. -you- are trying to make a judgement call on a trivia note by trying to claim "OMG CANON FAIL" when to begin with the entire thing is just imagination and not actual events at the time (the question of why they chose those particular scenes is something only the devs can answer, but we can infer and relate to). so, tali standing over rannoch (or wherever it is, but the unsubtle implication is there) can be both correct and incorrect (weirdly), but that's the nature of the beast.


 * to repeat myself, again: no, there's no continuity error (nor trivia) here as the events haven't happened yet and any purported discontinuities can be brushed off with mundane justifications.


 * i gave you an out by seeking dev intent (or maybe just mac's) whenever issues like this appear. if you're too lazy to do so, just drop the matter as you're wasting everyone's time: among others, yours, mine, and potentially elseweyr's. T̴̴͕̲̞̳̖̼̱͒͛̎͒ͫ̃ͧeͩ̈̽̈҉͓̝̰̼̦̫̤̀͠m̫̪̪̯̻͎̫̅̇̓̇͌̚p̸̙̝̓̓͌ͨ͆ͣͥ̂̕o͒̽͐̽͏̞̬̻͕͔͕͚̰͍͠͞ṙ̢̞͚͈̹̰ͨ̓ͭ̈́̌ạ̢̧̪̹̺̺̣̹̲͂͆̏ͪͨ͒ͭř̹͈͜͠y̷͍̻̜̹̼̾̽̈́e̵̹̼̟̦͚͐̈́͌͘d͉̲̣̻͉̱͗̅ḭ̷̻̆͋̆̓̔͝t̨͍̦̫̗͂̅̍̋̆ͩ͝ộ̫̟̬̳̝̲̾ͫ̒̿ͮ̑̚rͯ̎ͨͭ̄̿̽͛҉̠̫̱̠̘̘̲́ͅ7̩̻ͤͩͨ͝͡8̜̣̙͇̻ͨ͛͛̆͒̆̽̒͐͜͡ ͥ̍̉̃̇ͥ̓ͨ͏̕҉̥̹͓̗̤̠̖̤ (talk) 21:11, March 23, 2015 (UTC)


 * I am already seeking Mac's answer to the Conviction question. After a week I still have no answer. What likelyhood is there I will be more successful this time? As it is you have your own opinion on this matter as do I, hence why I am asking Else as a third party in her status as Administrator to weigh in on this issue one way or another and stop any further timewasting on what should have been a rather simple issue. In a way you are right but your own logic uses a lot of assumption as to the writer and artist's intent, perhaps even more than my own, which was simply to state the possibility in a trivia note, just as I suggested doing on the Conviction article. I'm not suggesting 'OMG CONTINUITY ERRER' as you so nicely put it, more that those scenes could possibly not occur in the series - a valid note by any stretch of the imagination. Garhdo (talk) 22:16, March 23, 2015 (UTC)


 * Regarding the purpose and implications of the disputed panels, I don't have much to add to what TE78 already said above. Genuine continuity errors contradict established canon regardless of player choices. For example, the panel of the Human-Reaper contains no other specifics (such as particular squadmembers), so at most it can be taken to symbolise some way for Tali to serve the fleet -- the journey leading up to dealing with the Human-Reaper is something she participates in regardless of her player-influenced fate. Anything beyond that would be up to reader/player interpretation, as is probably intended given the vagueness of the final panels.


 * That said, I do think "Tali standing on the surface of Rannoch as the sun rises" could be reworded to better reflect the panel, if only because it's not necessarily a sun rising :p In line with TE's response, however, the panel of her standing there is not necessarily the devs implying "she will end up on Rannoch no matter what", so IMO there are no continuity errors that need to be noted. Elseweyr talk &bull; stalk March 24, 2015, 12:01:29 (UTC)

I would also like to weight my opinion on two points.
 * The dispute: I would agree with Else as maybe we should slightly reword the current version. I will also read the comic again to be sure of that (when I have some time to spare).
 * The procedure: This dispute looks like an edit warring from both of you. It's a really bad way of doing things especially from an admin and a chat mod. This issue should have been discussed on the talk page even if it's a good idea to ask for a third opinion. The fact is that garhdo brought valid questions about the article and that he acted in good faith. A discussion should have been launched right after the first "undo" to explain it. Edit warring as you did is never an option. Finally, Elsie's page is good to discuss the edit warring but not a dispute about the content of an article (talk page are fit for the task).--DeldiRe (talk) 17:29, March 24, 2015 (UTC)


 * Well in addendum then one more question: How are we treating Rannoch? If we assume the planet is still Rannoch Tali's final line in the issue is said there, and unlike the Human-Reaper being shown on its own it does show her on the planet - The story implication is that just as she will have a part to play in the Battle of the Citadel and the fight against the Human-Reaper she will return to the Homeworld. If this is not how that can be interpreted I would like to know how we are dealing with this issue. Garhdo (talk) 18:45, March 24, 2015 (UTC)


 * I still don't think there's an issue here that needs dealing with. Normal editing rules still apply, however, so if you want to introduce this change into the article but other editors have disagreed with you, you'll have to start a topic on the article talk page. Given the nature of visual media (also discussed above) I can't really recommend pursuing this path -- this "face value" approach would justify noting things like "the penultimate panel, which shows Garrus spotting an N7 logo, contradicts any instances where Shepard is not wearing N7 armor" (Homeworlds #3). I hope this example illustrates my stance on the final panels of #2 as well; either way, I can't really answer your questions further without repeating what's already been said.

Chat report
I don't know if this is serious enough to be considered trolling or sexual harrassment, but Pikablu The Crusader posted this in chat, when I was the only other person there: "I CAN'T FIND MY DICK CAN YOU HELP ME? NM I FOUND IT"

Editing to add: I have a screenshot, as I'm not familiar enough with chat yet to know if it's possible to create a log of the chat room. -Sophia (talk) 21:54, March 25, 2015 (UTC)


 * That's unfortunate. Currently there's no way of obtaining reliable evidence for chat postings (as both screencaps and logs can be manipulated) so don't worry about that. The user in question's profile possibly warrants a global block, so I reported them to Community Support. If no ban is issued, I'll take action locally instead.

Reply about my edits
I still don't think that it was worth reverting the entirety of my edits over a few trivial matters. Why couldn't the few offending bits that I changed be changed back manually? Also, I recently edited the page about Castle Arcade again (using your rules this time), and Temporaryeditor78 just reverted it back. I put effort into those edits I made, and to have them completely undone because of only a few things that someone else doesn't like is really discouraging. —M.C.Tales (talk) 18:16, April 5, 2015 (UTC)


 * I don't think I spelled out any rules; I merely explained why your edit was legitimately reverted. The key words are correcting errors, which doesn't include changing something that is already acceptable. Even if you spend time and effort converting an article to a style that you like, the preference of the one who reverts (or wrote the article originally) is just as valid as yours. We discourage edits that are a matter of taste, as the previous version will be just as valid as the changed one, and resulting disputes basically can't be resolved.


 * Your newest Castle Arcade edit mostly involved unnecessary removals of spaces and insertions of optional commas; also note that overlayed is an alternative spelling of overlaid. In the event that someone comes along and disagrees with your edit, there isn't much you can do to argue why your version is better than the original. If you wish to keep making subjective improvements, you'll just have to accept that other editors may disagree with you at times. Elseweyr talk &bull; stalk April 5, 2015, 21:37:51 (UTC)


 * I was referring to my correcting punctuation errors or adding punctuation where necessary (and yes, many of the commas I added were needed). Also, the only reason I changed the spelling of "overlayed" was because my browser flagged it as incorrect. Anyway, I was trying to say earlier that it was not only extreme to undo all of my edits in their entirety simply because of a few offending things, but that it simply wasn't worth the effort to revert in the first place. Okay, so I try deleted the spaces in between the equal signs in the section headers. What is the point of undoing that? Is it really worth the effort to undo a pointless but benign change? –M.C.Tales (talk) 01:57, April 6, 2015 (UTC)


 * For the last time: I can only explain why the reversion of your changes was justified, not why the one who disgreed with your changes did revert them. One of the reasons pointless changes are considered invalid (and OK to undo) is because the ensuing conflicts are often equally pointless.


 * I'll say it again: if you are not correcting errors or making clear improvements, you may run into situations where another editor considers your changes (or the majority of them) unnecessary and your edit as a whole is reverted. If you wish to avoid this, it may be wise to try leaving out the "pointless but benign" changes, like altering the standard heading formatting -- expecting others to manually undo them is no more reasonable than someone else undoing such edits altogether.

quick verification question
Citadel: Reporter's Request: i got this verbatim, screenshot and all:

You found an OSD containing information about Fist's illegal activities. Someone will likely want to get their hands on this information.

Hey Elsie, a couple of questions about two topics:
 * Armour infobox: Is this vote considered as valid? I guess it is but I'd like to have admin's confirmation. If it's a "yes", the wikia CSS should be updated accordingly.

 * Yes, the armor infobox vote passed and I closed it for you. I'll add the new CSS stuff ASAP.
 * As for the map project, it's something I've been meaning to get back to once I have more time. I think some kind of general discussion would be needed before switching the feature on, though.

PC Tweaks Question
Hello, I wish to ask if the page for ME1's pc tweaks is up to date. I tried putting in an area code to get me the space walk section of the final citadel battle and it won't work. Thank you for looking at this. Also, I'm Etocis and I tried to create an account and it's being stubborn so that's why I'll probably show up as anom.


 * Hey there!
 * Unfortunately I can't tell if absolutely everything in PC Tweaks is up to date, though I doubt anything that has been correctly documented would have changed over the years (thus be "outdated"). I was able to access the area you mentioned without trouble. Make sure you input the code exactly as it is in the article, and if you still can't get it to work, you can always try resetting relevant gamefiles and re-enabling the console.
 * Good luck! Elseweyr talk &bull; stalk June 9, 2015, 01:11:06 (UTC)

Thank you, but I tried it and it still won't work. I think I'll need to speed run the game to get the level 60 cap to unlock. If there is any other possibility you could think of I would be willing to try it and if you know someone who could help me please let me know. Once again, thank you.Etocis (talk) 02:56, June 9, 2015 (UTC)

I found out that the notepad files for BioInput contain the codes for areas. It doesn't require the areas name at all. An example "At BIOA_END00 START_END80_00" so the codes need to be updated. Thank you for suggestion to check the files.Etocis (talk) 06:04, June 9, 2015 (UTC)


 * Might you have been inputting the wrong code then, after all? Note that the structure of the area codes in the article is "Level development code - Official name - Console command", so indeed the command for "Citadel Tower Space Walk" is just . I do think some sections of the article could do with a formatting update, though :) Elseweyr talk &bull; stalk June 9, 2015, 12:47:39 (UTC)

Requesting assistance with a problem
I recently made an edit to Zaeed Massani/Unique dialogue in which I noted a bug/dev oversight where he'll make his comment about Mordin regardless of whether or not you've recruited him yet. This edit was summarily reversed by Temporaryeditor78, on the grounds of not adhering to the bug confirmation policy. I understood the decision (don't necessarily agree with the rather tactless way he went about it, but I get it) and posted on the article's talk page and TE78's talk page in an attempt to open a dialogue about it and get my edit back on the page, as I'm not starting an edit war with an admin over something like this (and getting banned in the process). I've waited a about a week on this, and have received no response from anyone, so I've decided to appeal to another admin (you) on this. I would appreciate any help you could give me.

A little side query: Is the bureaucracy always this extensive concerning trivial edits like mine, or did I just happen to catch the wiki's most prominent editor on a bad day? Just wondering. RazingRazor (talk) 14:26, June 17, 2015 (UTC)


 * The bug confirmation policy does require at least three reports of the same thing; until two additional users can confirm, it simply doesn't go into the article. Trivial or not, this additional step helps ensure that it actually is a bug and not a unique glitch. It's also good to note as much context as possible: platform, version and other potential conditions are helpful details in determining the exact nature of the bug. If it's difficult to replicate or just very rare, it may never be confirmed either way. Elseweyr talk &bull; stalk June 18, 2015, 04:02:36 (UTC)


 * Gotcha. I'm a longtime lurker on this wiki, I don't make edits too often. Things seem a little hostile to would-be editors, though, or maybe it's just my imagination. Or maybe it's the more relaxed standards on my other wiki hangouts (save Wikipedia, but I expect that from them). Regardless, measures that keep vandalism and such off pages I'm generally supportive of; I hate unreliable info with a passion, and trolling edits even more. Good thing this isn't difficult to replicate, just time consuming, as getting to that comment in Zaeed's dialogue cycle takes a lot of visits. RazingRazor (talk) 05:46, June 18, 2015 (UTC)

Senior editor application
Dear,

After more than 3 years of activity on this wiki, I’d like to take more responsibilities to help the community with the arrival of the news Mass Effect Andromeda. By this message, I apply to become a senior editor. I make this demand for several reasons: --DeldiRe (talk) 09:57, July 20, 2015 (UTC)
 * The arrival of ME Andromeda will lead to new user and to a strong activity, a complete team is needed for those upcoming events
 * I have been active on this since more than 3 years
 * I’m also active as a chat mod since more than one year
 * Current senior editors are now inactive
 * I’m committed to the wiki and I have been a valuable contributor (mobile content, pictures, specific content, …)
 * I know the current administrative team since a long time and I share the values of this wiki (completion, quality,…)
 * As an admin on the ME French wiki, I have a good knowledge of wikia tools
 * I’m willing to help new contributors with a constructive attitude

Hey Elsie, after 2 months I still don't have any answer. What should I expect? --DeldiRe (talk) 14:54, September 28, 2015 (UTC)

Nice catch for Plim on the Armalax leader board :)--DeldiRe (talk) 08:19, August 31, 2015 (UTC)

Hello!
Hey Elseweyr, I just wanted to contact you in regards to a community revival project that was recently greenlighted by Staff which would include a majority of game communities on Wikia. This project, started when Encyclopedia Gamia was known as Wikia Gaming, involved EG becoming a "network" for all communities. The project was unfortunately abandoned and Wikia favored a new "Game Hub" as a network, while Encyclopedia Gamia transitioned into a video game database.

Fast forward to present day: the project aims to have members of specific communities (for example, Mass Effect) edit Mass Effect related material on Encyclopedia Gamia. In exchange, the pages on EG will provide a link to the main article on this wiki (for instance a page for Mass Effect 3 - Citadel would link to Mass Effect 3: Citadel). In addition, the series/franchise would get their own page on the Games Hub.

For more information please see this blog. I hope to hear back from you soon!

Thanks,  Z mario  23:22, August 4, 2015 (UTC)

Portable Infoboxes
We’re reaching out to a few of our top communities, hoping to get you on board with the migration to the new infobox markup. And we have tools to help!

Why we’re doing this

Simply put: Most current infobox structure translates very poorly to mobile experiences, and indeed any device that doesn’t use desktop-style displays. On desktops and laptops, they often look amazing. The problem is that Wikia’s traffic is trending mobile.

There is an important graph from our forum post about infoboxes a couple weeks back, and I want to share it here as well:



Mobile is the future. Not just for Wikia, but for the web as a whole. Take a look at the recent trends and future growth predictions for mobile traffic - it's staggering.

We partnered with the Wikia community to create this new markup to make sure that your hard work can be displayed on mobile devices (as well as any future technologies) easily and without any new coding conventions. It’ll take some effort up front, to be sure, but we’re here to help, and the work you put in now will pay for itself tenfold in the future.

Tools we’ve designed to ease the process

We’ve enabled two new features on your community. One is a tool for migrating the “old” infobox code to the new markup. It identifies templates on your wikia that look like infobox templates and places a box on the right rail of the template page. When you click the “Generate draft markup” button in this box, it opens a new tab containing a draft of your infobox using the new markup.

The second is a new feature on Special:Insights that will highlight which infoboxes on your wikia have not been migrated to the new infobox markup. It’s fairly intuitive - you can click on the infobox title link itself to see the old markup, or simply click the “Convert!” button on the right, which performs the same action as the “Generate draft markup” button.

This is our help page for the new markup. I’ll help get things rolling by converting a template or two as an example if you’d like me to, as well as watching this forum post for any questions.

Citadel (l)ockdown
Hi there. I noticed you did some admin housekeeping on Lockdown (citadel) and wanted to point out that Citadel Lockdown also existed. I noticed you had deleted the former redirect page that it was originally redirecting to shortly after I fixed the latter to redirect to MEG.

Even though manual linking to the ME1G section worked, initially I had created the redirects for search purposes there are no results for 'lockdown' that point towards the ME1G page nor the DLC page. That would influence the title of any replacements chosen and will have to be taken into account.

In short the input I am requesting from you is this: Do you think a disambiguation (not redir) be set up? If so, on which one one of these pages, or ideally one with the correct casing? Techhead7890 Talk Contribs 06:01, September 2, 2015 (UTC)
