Website for Deleted/Altered/Glitched Content
It has sections for all three ME games. I haven't had a chance to really look through it yet as I just found it. Do you think this would be a worthy source for putting together Deleted Content pages here? TheUnknown285 (talk) 10:32, January 2, 2015 (UTC)


 * that's rather funny, i see them sourcing back to the wiki at times. ME1: cut equipment, which was taken care of by silverstrike and co. years ago. ME2: they basically sourced from Mass Effect 2 Cut Content. some straight cut-n-paste material absent from the wiki, but those need to be organized better on integration. ME3: empty and the zaeed bit is already floating around in talkpages.
 * happy nu year by the way. (talk) 10:57, January 2, 2015 (UTC)

Liara Legion conversation edit?
You reverted my previous edit on Liara's page on her conversation with Legion. GIven all the previous details that have been added to Liara's page already, including her casual conversations with other members of the crew why was this removed? I ask because you didn't leave a reason behind the decision.If you require a direct video link that proves the conversation does take place I can provide one...--KrimzonStriker (talk) 21:16, January 12, 2015 (UTC)


 * Here is video proof of the conversation I included. View this at the 8:52 mark. In light of this evidence I have undone your previous edit. Please leave a reason if you choose to undo it afterwards and respond to me as soon as you are available.--KrimzonStriker (talk) 21:38, January 12, 2015 (UTC)

MSV H-G I worked hard to rewrite the shoddy editing on that page and you keep throwing it back to the sorry excuse for a page that it was, Stop. Mharris22 (talk) 08:48, January 15, 2015 (UTC)


 * and you just lost your editing privileges. i did warn you to stop adding your non-improvements.


 * in case you needed pointing out why:


 * 1) repetitive writing. you kept adding what happened to the ship at the intro when it's explicitly spelled out just a paragraph or two below.
 * 2) you kept sneaking in fan observations in the main body of the text when it was already noted at the trivia section.
 * 3) bits of noticeable grammar fail. "improvements"? the article was fine as is before you partially butchered it.

Global navigation
Don't you agree that it currently sticks out too much from the basic style of the wiki (blue, pretty much)? Can you change it to match said style by messing with the CSS in Wikia.css? klad (need to talk?) 03:31, January 17, 2015 (UTC)

 * Optimal formatting
 * What do you mean? What are these factors you speak of? Free me of my ignorance pls, because what I'm seeing there is an oversized image pushing text too the far left of the article for eight lines.


 * PS: This ignorance stems from having edited at more traditional (for lack of a better word) wikis; you know, where images are typically consistent in size (200/250px), so I'm kind of confused as to how some source code formatting is done here. Plus, the MoS says nothing about this optimal formatting you speak of.


 * Tl;dr? Don't blame me. :/ klad (need to talk?) 03:49, January 17, 2015 (UTC)


 * 1) we are not other wikis. this point can't be repeated over and over enough. the focus is on having pictures reasonably viewable at first glance, not on enforcing a "standard" size on them.
 * 2) it's a longish picture with text on it. any smaller and it becomes unreadable. any larger is actually still acceptable (to a point) since the content rail does expand for people with wide monitors. use ctrl+- resizing for a practical demonstration.
 * 3) fluid layout specs mean 700px minimum and 1280px max on content rail. "squeezed" would be 80-90% of the picture hogging all of 700px and/or one or two short words per line. more obviously so if it's something like a 4:3 ratio image. this isn't it.

 * please note that article categories are not to be used on userpages, so be mindful of whatever you're planning on copypasting from the wiki's templates. wikia has tons of beginner primers regarding this sort of thing, read and understand them before jumping ahead and messing with things you barely know about.

Comment on my talk page
Hey Temp,

I saw that an editor asked something on our talk pages. Even if I wansn't agreeing with his point, he still has the right to put a message on our talk pages. Why did you removed it from my page then?--DeldiRe (talk) 08:40, January 23, 2015 (UTC)


 * the moment he used a sockpuppet instead of waiting out his block or just plain opening a communication attempt on his own talkpage he permanently forfeited his editing rights on the wiki. which means i get to treat it as spam/vandalism from a spammer/vandal (which considering the content it certainly is).
 * since it's your talkpage, you can restore/respond to it as you see fit (personally, i don't see the point - it turns out he had a bunch of "sleeper accounts" here anyway). 08:56, January 23, 2015 (UTC)


 * Please don't remove messages from Talk pages. It's bad practice; removing them is the user's prerogative. Tullis (talk) 12:28, January 23, 2015 (UTC)


 * I understand your reasons Temp but as Tullis just said, I would have prefer to remove it myself so that we can fight together against those behaviors. --DeldiRe (talk) 08:45, January 26, 2015 (UTC)

To be fair, he also insulted TempEditor78, stating he "might be mentally impaired". But I see your point about the talk page policy. --173.58.251.107 19:37, January 23, 2015 (UTC)

And then he also removed the content of TempEditor78's main page to state that "I Am The Hitler Of The Wiki" and other related things and a warning to others to avoid the wiki. I'm pretty sure that that won't get him points. --173.58.251.107 01:31, January 24, 2015 (UTC)

Asari Gender
hey hey hey!! what's up with that! why does the Asari article have to say gender? is it some community guideline? are we primarily going off a data book here or something? oh crap, its because my stuff was conjecture, right? There's no official statement on Asari sex or gender much more than that one Liara line, right? cause if it's just that, I'll leave the article alone or w/e.

--BeccArt (talk) 04:02, February 24, 2015 (UTC)


 * read the codex entries (bioware) and the tons of discussion (fans) that went into this topic years before. swathes of the article are taken verbatim from the codex and any differences are already noted as is.


 * this is the bottom line: bioware is insistent on monogender - THEY call the shots on their own constructed lore, not you or me or any of us regular fans. if it means anything, just go with the scenario of a decidedly homosexual krogan male falling for an asari's charms.

Regarding my edit’s reversion
Hello. Can you please explain why you reverted my changes on Citadel: Asari Consort?

You’re an admin on this wiki all right, and have spent some time watching after it and developing it; but reverting other editors’ changes without even notifying them about it or bothering to explain what was wrong with the contribution in the first place will likely lose you community members and quality. Imfego (talk) 23:54, March 21, 2015 (UTC)


 * actually it is up to the editing party (-you-) to justify changes to an already ok article. unnecessary changes are discouraged when the article was fine as it is. the wiki has its own conventions and editing guides, read and familiarize yourself through the links on your userpage please. 09:34, March 22, 2015 (UTC)


 * Does that mean that if I re-edit it and explain the reasoning behind it, you’ll be less likely to delete it again? Also, can you please mention precisely which MoS articles are relevant in this case? Reading through all of them to make you keep one single edit of mine alone is not what I’d deem very productive. Imfego (talk) 15:09, March 24, 2015 (UTC)

Edit reversion of Castle Arcade article
A few days ago, you reverted all of my edits to the article on Castle Arcade. If this is because of how I punctuated this one range of values, I would like to let you know 1) you don't have to revert everything I did just to get rid of a small problem, and 2) placing an en dash between two numbers is the proper way to represent a range of values (see here), and a hyphen is best used when an en dash is unavailable. —M.C.Tales (talk) 18:53, March 29, 2015 (UTC)

Please inform the other admins about the release,

Knakveey (talk) 19:47, April 8, 2015 (UTC)


 * i see the iOS version is up and about. thanks and congratulations on behalf of prospective users of the app (don't own any apple devices myself).
 * i've bootstrapped the icons in my spare time some months ago and realized some of them don't really look good in the released screenshots, so i was wondering a little if the screenshots can be updated to something more presentable in the future once one of us get around to working on them. not really a pressing question nor suggestion for a software feature, just genuinely curious. 19:58, April 8, 2015 (UTC)

Hi Tempeditor,

You can make changes to the app by visiting Special:Promote and Special:CuratedContent. Hope this helps you out :)

Vent Specialist
If you are planning to have a certain ending/mass effect 3 import, you will want to know who can die in the vents. For example, Miranda can never be sent into vents. That's not "anyone else". To use second fireteam leader as an example, you can choose anyone so in that case "anyone else" is correct. Thanks.
 * irrelevant. the ideal choices have already been explicitly spelled out. declaring "anyone else" automatically excludes the people not listed as "ideal" regardless of the number of other choices and is meant to be a shorthand to just focus on who's ideal.

I disagree with your reasoning. And I don't think it is your job to police this. Paul2O (talk) 23:49, April 14, 2015 (UTC)

Look at this: Administrator powers should be used to help keep the wiki clear of vandalism, spam, and users who make malicious edits, but not for simple disagreements between users acting in good faith. Ideally an admin shouldn't be considered "in charge". The ideal admin is just someone who is trusted to have a few extra buttons and to use them for the benefit of the Wikia community.


 * actually it -is- my job to preserve article integrity in all forms. the wording was not -my- reasoning, that was the (valid and logical) reasoning of people who figured it out way before you even became aware of this game.


 * you, in effect, made an unnecessary edit. unnecessary edits = bannable. you were well on the way to the banhammer if you continued your course without discussion. if -you- get too uppity by continuing to push -your- version of pages without discussion, i can and i will block you for edit warring. as you haven't passed that threshold yet and you actually made some effort at discussion unlike the vast majority of one-time users i had to deal with, your editing privileges are still fine.

 * 1) the how to play sections on the castle arcade page are just the game instructions taken ingame, nothing more nor less.
 * 2) atrocious grammar and debatable "tip" usefulness since there's literally a myriad other ways of tackling that problem with equal or even lesser risk. prospective editors are expected to at least proofread their own work before committing any changes.

It's kinda strange to expect perfect edits. I am not native english speaker - so I double check grammar at two different systems. I can make mistake by placing a "how to play" tip to... "How to play" section - because it seems to be logical. But is there a reason to completely deleting entire post? Wiki pages are created for community and by community. So someone adds information, someone corrects it, someone improves it visually. People complement each other. So:

1. Would it be OK if I move "Castle Arcade" tip to another section? For example, here.

2. "there's literally a myriad other ways of tackling that problem with equal or even lesser risk" Really? The closest cover which protects from front attacks, flanking and Harvester's devastating blasts. By the way, it's a tip. An advice from one player to another. That spot isn't obvious for new players who started first walkthrough on Insanity. Like me. So it's an advice for those players. And mentioned cover is amazing. It took about 5 reloads to figure that. Still not enough arguments? Let’s look here. A really big "Insanity tips" section. And you can say "there's literally a myriad other ways of tackling that problem with equal or even lesser risk" about it. But it still exists. And still is extremely useful. Ok, I was wrong when I wrote "the safest place". Word "safest" is to strong here. How about "It's safer than anywhere else you can go"? Like here again.

I don't want to look rude or start "editing war". I just want to help community enjoy the game without spending too much on figuring the easier ways to solve some problems. So, will you allow me to return these tips with mentioned corrections? Alketal (talk) 18:39, April 26, 2015 (UTC)


 * you're not a native speaker? so am i. thing is, you cannot expect others to always clean up after your mistakes - if others are willing to do so, they're free to do so. except no one did by the time i did the rounds, so tough luck as my limited schedule only permits for error checking most of the time. language barriers are always a frustration, so perhaps it's best you focus your efforts to the mass effect wiki in your local language - check the language links at the bottom of the main page if yours is listed.


 * article writing 101: look at how the rest of the article is written and emulate it (consulting the style guides in the meanwhile).
 * if the tone is descriptive, do not switch to imperative just because you're detailing a strategy. only the how to play sections in the castle arcade page are imperative since they're verbatim instructions; the rest merely detail the games' attributes in a descriptive manner so that is what you should bear in mind.
 * walkthroughs are allowed some latitude in informal writing, but when using superlatives be sure it's objectively so, not just hyperbole, so as not to give readers the wrong idea. "it's safer than anywhere else you can go" is not only awkwardly worded, it's the same thing as just saying "safest".

again, i'd advise you to focus your efforts on other MEwiki localizations if this language barrier is going to be a problem.

I wrote "It's safer than anywhere else you can go" on purpose. Just to check your reaction on this sentence. Look at Collector Ship (mission)#Sky High Battle again. I mentioned this article twice. First Insanity tip, second sentence. This sentence is allowed there but not here. Just emulated it (article writing 101).

Ok, I got it. Now I'm just waiting. Purge this "imperative" infestation, clean that "descriptive" article! Just show us fair judgment. And usefulness doesn't matter.

However, question about Castle Arcade is still open. I took note of your recommendations and corrected the tip. Now it is quite descriptive, properly located and emulates the style of Castle Arcade#Relay Defense section tip. Is it ok now? Alketal (talk) 15:04, April 27, 2015 (UTC)

A way to improve the usefulness and inclusiveness of the wiki
A thought on improving article helpfulness Edit

Since you people get massively butthurt when users try to communicate with each other on these talk pages like we used them for in the old days...

a way to keep the wiki useful to the users as well as maintain your proprietary attitude about the "talk" pages not being for talk, could you at least post links to the relevant forums on each page, maybe near the talk button?

Thanks. Further details on my own talk page. 66.68.51.107 15:07, May 28, 2015 (UTC) 66.68.51.107 15:13, May 28, 2015 (UTC)

With all due respect...
I appreciate your many valuable contributions to this wiki, but being a prominent contributor doesn't give you the right to unilaterally wipe out constructive edits "just because". I undid your reversion of my edit on Zaeed's Unique Dialogue page, as it's actually a true and confirmable fact. Just thought you should know. RazingRazor (talk) 05:52, June 9, 2015 (UTC)

I'm aware of the bug confirmation policies, but I don't particularly think there ARE three other registered users who are willing to investigate this and confirm it, as this particular bug is trivial at best. If you would be willing to work with me to confirm it, I would definitely appreciate it. Despite being aware of the site policies, I don't contribute often, and thus lack a great deal of experience dealing with this wiki in particular. tldr: Just trying to improve the wiki in my own small way, help would be appreciated. Thanks. RazingRazor (talk) 06:04, June 9, 2015 (UTC)

Help with blogs
Because I am no admin I can't change name of my blogs. There was written to ask an admin for help, when I tried to change in their titles "ME: Next" to "Mass Effect: Andromeda". These are my blogs.

Game trailer
Hi, Temporaryeditor78!

We have a game trailer for Mass Effect: Andromeda, but figured it would be best to ask before we place it on the game page. You can view it.

Best regards,

Raylan13 ( talk ) 22:41, June 16, 2015 (UTC)


 * apparently trailers are conditionally permitted under the local video policy. i'd have to consult with the other resident admins on this since we've traditionally taken a no-videos stance due to the reasons stated in the policy. if it works out, i guess we'd allow trailers uploaded to video.wikia but probably not in the mass effect wiki's own namespace. thanks for the offer by the way.

M40 Mako
A trailer for Mass Effect 4 unless proof you did not look it, there was Mako, and it is a text "M40".


 * what we're looking for is something like a bioware blog formally introducing the vehicle and explicitly calling it an "M40 Mako". official design renders with labels and the like. there are plenty examples of alphanumeric labels on things in the franchise that actually don't mean anything (or mean something else entirely) so we can't actually infer labels haphazardly. official information will come eventually, we don't have to be hasty and jump to potentially wrong conclusions.

Deleting edits
I'm tired of you delete my edits !!! Course can with some I was not right, but you're absolutely removed all my changes. And I see that you know nothing about the universe Mas effect, I wonder how you're still the article Mass Effect: Andromeda not deleted if logically. You reject Official Trailer from E3, you reject everything that is connected with the new Mass Effect, well, except for the logo. Prikratite senseless edits cancellation, you do not have a reason for removing the text "Discover a New Galaxy", is the slogan of vobscheto Official video from the official site MASSEFFECT.COM.


 * not even sure i should answer borderline gibberish, but since there are legitimate queries, here goes.


 * 1) accusing me of knowing nothing about mass effect is like accusing you of being shakespeare reincarnated. baseless and so ridiculous it goes back and forth from funny to unfunny at the same time.
 * 2) do you see slogans written in other game articles? no? then neither does the the MEA article get one.
 * 3) why the fuck should i delete the MEA article? BIOWARE ITSELF gave it the name. not sure if you were drunk or high when asking this. or both or neither.
 * no, i do not reject the trailer outright, i reject fan conjecture from stuff in the trailer that -you- were trying to pass off as fact. and speaking of trailers, one teaser trailer is just that. not a be-all end-all for everything MEA-related.
 * you have zero patience in trying to learn how the rest of this wiki is formatted. see, the english wiki has this thing called quality control and standards. sloppy edits get reverted, period. especially if it's on pages about upcoming releases. consider yourself warned: learn how things are done here if you wish to continue editing or consider yourself welcome in other wiki localizations except here.

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

Question on editing and article creation
I'm new to navigating around, so sorry to bother you, but is there a page on the wiki specifically referring to how to edit, article creation procedures, and just the simple mechanics around the wiki? For instance, article creation here seems to be a lot different than on a majority of other wikis, and so I want to be able to understand how to do that in detail. More specifically, is there a place I can refer to in regards to how I can navigate the sandbox? I want to create an article on Marauder Shields...just kidding about that, but I am eager to get started whilst following policy at the same time, of course. Darth Ravigious (talk) 23:25, July 29, 2015 (UTC)


 * yeah the marauder shields page was locked for a reason. anyway, the answers to your question should lie at the very first message autoplastered on your talkpage. you can also use the navbar at the top of the wiki for other related subjects -> under the Community tab.


 * regarding sandbox usage, you are free to use the public sandbox but whenever you're finished please revert the page to its pristine state. it's far more practical to use your own personal space for experimentation, something like User:Darth Ravigious/whatevertitleyouwant . bunch of primers:


 * our templates more often than not autocategorize pages but categories are prohibited on userpages. template usage is allowed, but only if it doesn't categorize your page along with other proper articles (some templates have measures in place for this, but some don't).
 * no redlinks. it's either linked or not at all.
 * on linking, rule of thumb is just once is enough. no need to spam it all over the page (this one is more of a reminder on articles).


 * you can usually drop by the chatroom if people are around. Elseweyr is more on there than i am, and if she's around you can ask her stuff on the fly. 01:17, July 30, 2015 (UTC)


 * Thanks a lot. That was very helpful. And I'll be sure to check out the chat area! And that sucks about Marauder Shields XD

Darth Ravigious (talk) 15:06, July 30, 2015 (UTC)

Hey, so I'm currently putting together a sandbox so I can start my first project, and I was just wondering if the text for my London lore page is still accessible back in the deletion log. It's fine if it isn't, since it's my loss for going against publishing it off the bat,but I figured there was no harm in asking! :)

Thanks!

Planet pictures
Hey Temp,

A small message just to ask some help for image management. Thanks for you time! --DeldiRe (talk) 08:39, July 30, 2015 (UTC)
 * 1) I'd like to know how you was able to take the planetary view for every planets (example: Edmos).
 * 2) How did you manage to get a 430*480 px for the planetary map like Trebin. I would like to take a quality screenshot for every planetary map. What is the best way to proceed?


 * they're straight ingame screenshots taken after exploring every point of interest on the map, returning to the normandy, then redeploying to ensure the mako is always at the starting position.
 * the red and yellow markers are custom-made as per the examples made by DRY, and although all the maps are already more or less complete updating whenever easter eggs are found (like the alleged rachni songs) is a minor annoyance. 03:41, August 1, 2015 (UTC)


 * Hey, thanks for the quick answer. I can also get the planetary map via ingame screenshot (after exploring every POI) but I can't have a 430*480px, the resolution is smaller. How can I improve it?
 * Do you get the planetary view (see Edmos) via ingame screenshot (without HUD) or via game file extract?
 * Thanks!--DeldiRe (talk) 20:51, August 4, 2015 (UTC)

It would be nice to know...
... why you are undoing particular edits instead of just stating "reverted back to the version from XYZ" or the likes. As with my last two edits to N7: Cerberus Fighter Base and Priority: The Citadel II I had added the info because I have stumbled over this peculiarity concerning Miranda Lawson (in fact, I have just played through that section, with N7: Cerberus Fighter Base delayed until after Priority: The Citadel II) with Miranda's mail showing up after I cleared out the fighter base instead of right after dealing with Cerberus on the Citadel.

So stating what has gone wrong would greatly help in avoiding possible problems in the future.

Any pointers of what has been wrong?

Thank you in advance.

Robidu (talk) 12:24, August 2, 2015 (UTC)


 * you're attempting to insert highly suspect information. the mail trigger is just x missions (doesn't matter which) after priority: the citadel II, not some specific but irrelevant side mission that has nothing to do with miranda game nor storywise. same goes for any of the character interactions you're trying to say stems only from doing it.


 * suppose an argument can be made that it's a fluke on your end, some sort of plotflag fuckups nobody ever heard of in the last 3 years. possible discovery of a bug would then require the usual 3 people declaring they encountered the exact same circumstances you did.

I guess I'm going to do yet another playthrough when I'm done with this one to find out what exactly is going on here to corroborate things. Thanks, anyway, for the explanation.

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.

The New Guy Has an Idea
Hi Temp,

You'll probably say no (Since it would be such a big change) but I had an idea that may help people that don't know how this wiki works in comparison to other wikis. I noticed that a lot of people go to talk pages to try and talk about the article, rather than the upkeep of the page itself, and just get told to go to the forums or blogs. I assume they do this because that's how a lot of other wikis work. Now I'm not necessarily saying that we should format the Mass Effect wiki to be like the others, but I feel like it may be a good idea to rename talk pages to like "Maintenance Pages" or something and then have a separate discussion page or maybe a comments section. I feel like something like this should be implemented to keep people from going to the wrong places for things. I don't think this would be against wiki policy or anything either, so please at least consider it. TheKingLerp (talk) 01:07, August 25, 2015 (UTC)


 * this would actually be more of a suggestion over at w:c:community rather than here since it's a wikia-wide topic. for how content has always been structured on wikias see help:Namespace. specifically, see Help:Talk page. those wikis you seem to be referring are run by people who don't necessarily have the requisite skills for site maintenance, hence the lax enforcement of these simple grouping rules. 02:50, August 25, 2015 (UTC)


 * Hmm. Well thank you for pointing me in the right direction. But from the looks of it, trying to start something like this would be a bit out of my realm of understanding. Do you think it was at least a good idea? Or do you think it wouldn't work out? TheKingLerp (talk) 03:13, August 25, 2015 (UTC)

Commendable handling of anon incident
I'm just writing to say your actions over at User_talk:66.68.51.107 have been commendably professional, despite his attitude. I am glad to see this editor did not faze you and your response was appropriate. Keep up the good work! Techhead7890 Talk 06:41, August 29, 2015 (UTC)
