External Link Help
DeldiRe,

Can you help me with an external link problem I found this evening?

I created the article Andromeda Elite Helmet and have an external link pointing the reader to the correct mass effect website. everything appears to display on the screen correctly.

However, when you click on the link it sends you to a website that isn't correct. Extra text is being placed on the end of the link and it fails to find the website.

I've placed the text below(broken on purpose) of the link i placed into the page.

[h ttp s://www.masseffect.com/andromeda-initiative‎ Mass Effect Andromeda Initiative website]

Instead of going to: masseffectdotcom/adromeda-initiative

it goes to: masseffectdotcom/andromeda-initiative%E2%80%8E

The website works if you type in the first correct address but fails with the second modified address.

External linking is new to me and after doing research online I can't figure out why it is doing that. So instead of spending hours trying to figure it out, I humbly ask for sage advice from a much more seasoned editor. :)

Thanks in advance. -- GS877 (talk) 08:12, February 16, 2018 (UTC)


 * I have made a proposal with the use of 'ref' tag. I would suggest to use it each time :)--DeldiRe (talk) 17:14, February 16, 2018 (UTC)


 * DeldiRe, Thank you for fixing that portion of the page. I was thinking of trying the solution you chose but that was one of several different ways to fix the issue. Sometimes you just have to stop and ask for help. I was fiddling around with the page at 2am and it was just time to go to bed. :)


 * I will use the reference tag in the future for anytime that I use an external link. (Also using the < / references > tag at the bottom in the correct place so that the references work correctly. -- GS877 (talk) 18:05, February 16, 2018 (UTC)


 * No problem. And btw, thank you for all your work on the wiki. It makes me want to work on it too :)--DeldiRe (talk) 09:49, February 17, 2018 (UTC)

Broken Link In ME3MP Template Sandbox
Hey DeldiRe,

I was looking around the site last night and found a list that had broken links listed on it. There are like 500ish pages with busted links. Most are just 1 link. I randomly looked down the list and picked some to correct the links so that that list would get smaller. (Easier to find pages that really need fixing because of a broken link).

I found one on your ME3MP template in your sandbox last night. (Purposely did not put a link below so that if you ever delete that sandbox, it doesn't create a broken link. :) )

User:DeldiRe/Sandbox/Template:Nav-ME3MP

The Project Phoenix Vanguard has "Projet" instead of "Project" in the link pointing to the correct page. I fixed that minor issue last night so that the link pointed to the correct place.

That edit was undone by an admin.

I figured that if I let you know about the error, and you fixed your own work, then the change would stay.

It's a nice table btw. I didn't even know it existed.

Hey, thanks for the info. I would that broken links in a sandbox page is not really relevant. If you one, just check if the real page (on main wiki) is also broken. ost of the time, it is fixed when implemanted in the wiki. --DeldiRe (talk) 10:42, February 21, 2018 (UTC)


 * Hey DeldiRe, I got a message back from the admin and understand what the issue was. Only Sysop or above can modify pages to remove redlinks on pages other than current articles. (Unless you have the permission of the user you are trying to modify.)


 * When I find a link that is a misspelling or missing a character that could to point to a valid article, I would like to fix them. Some fixes are really obvious. A capital "C" instead of a little "c", a missing letter, a missing space, etc. (I think I found 5 or 6 out of the 200+ I've looked at)


 * Do I have your permission to modify or fix broken links I find on your pages/comments? If I am unsure or think that it shouldn't be fixed, I will leave it alone.


 * Thanks for your help. :) -- GS877 (talk) 17:02, February 22, 2018 (UTC)


 * You are allowed to do it but there is no utility to work on sandboxes :) I wold suggest to focus our work on mainspace :)--DeldiRe (talk) 09:08, February 25, 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you DeldiRe. My focus has been on mainpages mostly but as I find things I try to repair them. Usually I find one small item and then think "Can this happen in other places?" and then I go and hunt down related items. Sometimes the little things bug me. Just have to fix them. I'm not obsessed, I'm not obsessed, I'm not obsessed... :) I'll let you know if I find anything that is bigger than a small fix if I find anything. Thanks again. -- GS877 (talk) 13:26, February 25, 2018 (UTC)

Strike Teams Page Question
DeldiRe,

I was looking at your Strike Teams page in the sandbox and noticed there is an asterisk (*) next to the platinum difficulty word in the Difficulty section.

User:DeldiRe/Sandbox/Strike_Teams#Difficulty

(Left as a non-link so it doesn't turn into a redlink later)

What does the * next to Platinum infer? I didn't see another place that listed what the * was meant to stand for.

Just was curious. Didn't know if this was a mistake, something you were planning on adding, or removed something and didn't pull the *. -- GS877 (talk) 05:05, March 4, 2018 (UTC)
 * I refers to the note below, I will add another * to be more specific.--DeldiRe (talk) 08:27, March 4, 2018 (UTC)
 * Oh, ok. Thanks for letting me know. I'm one of those people that when they see a * or a †, I immediately look for what it stands for lower down the page. :) -- GS877 (talk) 18:26, March 4, 2018 (UTC)

Talk Page Question
Hey DeldiRe, I have a quick question. As I am very new to wiki's, am I supposed to respond to your message on your talk page or do I respond on my talk page to your message? I don't know the etiquette for message responses. :) (I responded to your story POV note on my page but I wasn't sure if you would see that I had responded as it is on my page and not your page) -- GS877 (talk) 23:31, March 5, 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you for pointing out the Story POV issue. I went and changed all of the pages I worked on so far (except mission pages. I'll go back and fix them when I go through them all again). The multiplayer page looks good. :)
 * I was able to get most of the cryo pod perks icons but some I was unable to find. I made sure to keep the AVP page as story POV. It's hard to write that way sometimes. :) -- GS877 (talk) 06:03, March 7, 2018 (UTC)

don't bother updating MEA novels/comic information
i got the source materials covered and i will get around to them at some point once i sort a bunch of things on my end. stick to the game proper, i won't have much input there for the foreseeable future.

 * OK I will keep helping GS877 to improve game's content. Just let me know if you need help for MEAI. I think there is also some work to do for 'nexus uprising'.--DeldiRe (talk) 14:28, March 9, 2018 (UTC)
 * due to circumstances beyond control i will be unable to help with the actual game unless you suddenly see me making sweeping changes to the relevant articles. probably years from now. i do have several files' worth of pending writeups for all MEA comics and novels released to date although i still have to invoke the usual excuse of doing a bunch of stuff off the wiki to justify the delays.
 * at the very least i plan to have everything released before the last MEA novel comes out. less workload that way.

 * IRL > wiki. Quite normal! But it is good to hear that you have some time to deal with novels and comics so I can focus on the game event if I'm also very busy IRL. --DeldiRe (talk) 16:09, March 9, 2018 (UTC)

Forward Station
Hey DeldiRe, You beat me to it! :) I was going to do Forward Station next but I went off track fixing and creating skill pages yesterday evening. I changed over to BP format as I find it is easier read and breaks up a large paragraph. The pic was an existing one that I found that AnuChemical had uploaded awhile back. (You can use another pic, upload something better, change to whatever you want. The original pic can then be deleted if you don't like the pic)

I tried to break it up like other pages with overview, mechanics, bugs, notes, etc. Provides a good flow for someone coming to the page to learn about what a forward station does for Ryder.

I figured you still had things you wanted to complete on the page so I left it in your sandbox and didn't copy it over yet. Please let me know if you need anything else for the Forward Station. Everything I wanted to add / format I have completed so you can finish anything you wanted to work on. -- GS877 (talk) 18:15, March 10, 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for the help, I publish it tomorrow :) --DeldiRe (talk) 22:14, March 10, 2018 (UTC)

Main Wiki Vids
Hey DeldiRe, I saw you had put delete on those 3 videos and undid them. A wikia staff member on his own added them / undeleted them back in about a month ago. Powers above even the admins! :) He saw that the main wiki page had broken vid links and fixed them on his own. Temp let it stand so I guess he didn't have an issue with it. (He is normally all over that kind of stuff). As they were official vids and part of the main page that someone designed awhile ago, someone must have said that they were MoS compliant at some point. Just wanted to let you know that I had seen when it happened and why I had undone them before Temp did. :) -- GS877 (talk) 18:06, March 15, 2018 (UTC)

Movie Night
Hey DeldiRe, Nice job on the main Movie Night Page! I saw that you had created the page this morning and I think that was a great addition to the wiki. The mission boxes on the bottom of each Movie Night mission page are also a nice touch. Keep up the good work! :) -- GS877 (talk) 17:28, March 18, 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks, maybe I should have named the page 'Movie Night Guide' instead.--DeldiRe (talk) 17:37, March 18, 2018 (UTC)


 * Hey DeldiRe, Nope. I think you named it correctly. I would call a guide something much broader and larger. A concept with lots and lots of information from all kinds of sources "guiding" a player through the many different options that can be explored by the player during gameplay. I think MEA Guide or Adept Guide as examples. Your page is about a specific mission arc so guide doesn't seem to fit (in my opinion). -- GS877 (talk) 18:52, March 18, 2018 (UTC)

Pictures
Hey DeldiRe, Thanks for all of your hard work finding the pictures for all of the pages! :) I was chugging along yesterday updating systems and planets until I ran into Kadara and hit a brick wall. You weren't kidding about "soooooo much work to do!". Kadara fixes led to Aya, then Voeld, then Elaaden, then Eos, then Havarl. Those pages had SO MUCH work to do on them. I forgot to do H-047c last night so guess what's on the menu first thing today??? Oh great, another bunch of fixes. :) After that, I'll go back to fixing systems. After that, I'll go back to fixing mission pages and creating the reward tables. As long as something else shiney doen't catch my A.D.D. attention and I go off on another tangent. :) -- GS877 (talk) 16:51, March 20, 2018 (UTC)
 * Still working on planets, I hope to finish tomorrow. Thank you for the review. For the reste, we need editors, where can we find them?? :)--DeldiRe (talk) 16:29, March 21, 2018 (UTC)

HyperGuardian Armor
Hey DeldiRe, I saw you started the armor update. Good call to change to generic and add redirects. I thought about that yesterday but didn't do it. I did see an issue though. On HyperGuardian, you changed the page to get rid of the mid word capital G. I also thought this was a mistake but I made sure to look at in-game to determine if it was lowercase or upper case. The name is all caps so that doesn't help but the description of the item lists it as a capital G. I've attached a pic of a youtube screengrab. I'll put it here for a little but and then once you've had a chance to see it, I'll remove the pic and link. (I hate useless links and pointless pics. :) ).

As in-game takes, precedent, I think we should revert back to the cap G mid word. Unless I missed something totally obvious. Feel free to roast me alive if I made a mistake. :) -- GS877 (talk) 18:53, March 26, 2018 (UTC)


 * Let's go back to in-game :) --DeldiRe (talk) 19:39, March 26, 2018 (UTC)


 * Thank you for doing all of the work for the extra redirect pages. :) I removed the link and I'll be deleting the photo. Doesn't meet MOS and it was just for a quick view.


 * I went through the MEA armor page to put them to generic. I think that when the photos are up, the level I pic should go into the small boxes on that page. That's more of a generic page that links out to all of the specific armor pages. They will be small pics anyways due to the small size of the boxes (like 25-30px) so not much detail will show. I'll add all of those links when the pics are up. Those ones will show a 25px until pic is available and I think it looks bad to have those there for a long time. (Otherwise I would totally add in all of the links right now). -- GS877 (talk) 20:01, March 26, 2018 (UTC)

YOU'RE BAAAAAAAAACK!
It was so lonely here. So awfully lonely. And quiet. NO, I'm not talking to myself, , I mean YOU'RE BACK. :)

Btw, I was going to send you a message about the Elaaden Outpost / New Tuchanka page. I finished Elaaden a few days ago so now all of the links are in place.

The bad thing is that there is no [ [Elaaden Outpost] ]. I put that link in all of the places where it is called out.

Technically, according to the in game text in the Codex the outpost and colony together are named New Tuchannka. When you create the outpost, a new addition is added to the codex.

''A sweltering landscape with rising humidity, Elaaden is home to the outpost New Tuchanka, which is a cooperative venture between the Initiative and the krogan colony. (Founded by Nakmor Morda, Pathfinder Ryder; Mayor Kariste Archana elected.)''

I thought that we should use the page you have created in your sandbox as the New Tuchanka page, and perhaps create a small subheader section called Elaaden Outpost that explains that.

The Elaaden outpost is next to the colony of New Tuchanka but for all intents and purposes they are the same. When you go to the in-game map and are located in the colony, it shows as "New Tuchanka".

I can then have the redlinks for Elaaden Outpost point to that subheader and then everything is clean and nice.

What do you think DeldiRe? --GS877 (talk) 21:16, April 28, 2018 (UTC)
