Tips for Mordsith?

I'm a complete wiki noob, but I'm really interested in starting. I've always been obsessive about compiling WoW information for my own use - spreadsheets on profession recipes, gear I'd like to have, etc. I'd love to be able to share that obsession with other people who are looking for that type of information.

If you have any tips for me, I'd gratefully look them over. Thanks for any help!

You're doing a fine job. You're also a categorizing maniac! --Gengar orange 22x22 Fandyllic (talk · contr) 10:34 PM PST 3 Jan 2008
lol Thanks =) I'm actually a Library and Information Science major, so I figure I'm doing schoolwork and playing at the same time. ;D Category listings are a major topic in some of my classes, and when I saw the disaster that was the Blacksmithing category, I couldn't help but attack it. I cringe at the thought of how many categories need to be reorganized. For now, I'll work on blacksmithing. -- Mordsith - (talk|contr) 06:42, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
Don't feel to much pressure. We all do as much as we can do. --Gengar orange 22x22 Fandyllic (talk · contr) 10:47 PM PST 3 Jan 2008
Ooooooo.... another recruit for WoWWiki:Zone category project. Muahahaha.
In other news, welcome to the wiki! --Sky (t | c | w) 07:06, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
I'll definitely check that out. =) And thanks for the welcome. -- Mordsith - (talk|contr) 12:05, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Orcish War Leggings

Good catch on the category! --Eirik Ratcatcher 19:02, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

However... you missed this when you created Blacksmithing/recipetables/artisanA ... --Eirik Ratcatcher 20:20, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

professions

Before you get too change happy on categories in professions, make sure you aren't contradicting anything on the Crafts and professions article. Something that is the name of a profession in video game may have a different equivalent profession name in the RPG, for example.Baggins 03:27, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Oh thanks for the heads up. I'll look at that. Mordsith - (talk|contr) 03:30, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
Actually that doesn't seem to contradict what I was doing. I was merely moving profession specific articles into their relevant subcategories. For instance, There's no need for Alchemist to be in Category:Professions when it's also in Category:Alchemy, which is a subheading of Category:Professions. Mordsith - (talk|contr) 03:32, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Alright, just saying that Alchemist is a "profession title". You might think of splitting things up into RPG professions, and WoW professions for differences in terms.Baggins 03:34, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

That is a thought... there are some random professions that I left in the main category since they aren't in WoW, like Mortician. Didn't have anywhere to put it. I'm not planning to change the categories here that much at the moment though.
I was wondering about Poisons and Riding though. I always thought they were skills rather than professions. I left them as is until I remember to research that a bit. Any thoughts? Mordsith - (talk|contr) 03:39, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Ooze cats

Quick question, were you asked to remove the [Category:Uncategorized] from the Ooze mobs? SnakeSssssssssssssssssssssssss Coobra sig3For Pony! (Sssss/Slithered) 06:15, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

I believe so. The WoWWiki:Zone category project states "categories such as "Category:Humanoids" or "Category:Beasts" should be modified to reflect their particular type (I. e. "Category:Wolves", "Category:Centaur")." I took this to mean that a general category like Uncategorized mobs should be removed and the mob should instead be placed into the subcategory Oozes. Was I wrong? Mordsith - (talk|contr) 06:19, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
Hmm, well..its hard to say, Blizzard defines them as Not specified which here the category was made to Uncategorized Creatures. So I believe that they should contain both cats, Oozes and Uncategorized Creatures. But thats how I see it. SnakeSssssssssssssssssssssssss Coobra sig3For Pony! (Sssss/Slithered) 06:22, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
I agree that they are Uncategorized Creatures. However, since Oozes are already a subcategory of Uncategorized Creatures, I think the particular oozes should be placed within the subcategory, and not in both the parent category and the subcategory. I am still new here though, so if I'm wrong, I'll happily change it back. Mordsith - (talk|contr) 06:25, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
No, I see what you're saying...perhaps you're right....and it is kind of silly to have 2 cats crowded with the same stuff, so yea, lets go ahead and removed the uncategorized creatures from them. SnakeSssssssssssssssssssssssss Coobra sig3For Pony! (Sssss/Slithered) 06:28, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
And kill Felwood too, eh? :D --Sky (t | c | w) 07:17, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
The corruption must end, let loose Kralnor and his good staff, just don't report him. =D User:CoobraSssssssssssssssssssssssss User:CoobraFor Pony! {TDon't hiss at me.โ€ขCIf you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all.) 07:28, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
I was a bit busy last night. >.> And Coobra, thanks for cleaning up the rest of the Oozes. =) Mordsith - (talk|contr) 11:15, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
Sure thing. SnakeSssssssssssssssssssssssss Coobra sig3For Pony! (Sssss/Slithered) 20:00, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Disambiguating item articles

If you're going to disambiguate item articles, (like Inv pants mail 08 [Cenarion Reservist's Legguards]), please use something more specific than a number. That only works sensibly for quests that are in a series (like Quest:The Missing Diplomat (12)). I'd suggest Cenarion Reservists's Leggings (druid) and the like. Thanks again for your contributions to WoWWiki! --k_d3 05:09, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

That makes sense. I'll make that change. Mordsith - (talk|contr) 05:10, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
If anyone else is wondering - I'll fix the rest of this tomorrow. Editing with lack of sleep is making me clumsy. =/ Mordsith - (talk|contr) 05:27, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Quest Chains

About changing the Quest:Besieged! (Horde)/Quest chain, sry I had thought using * ** *** was standard. Apparently it was, till a vote came along and standard became to use #. However, just one thing I'd like to mention... The rewards section should go under completion rather than above (per policy), as sometimes those rewards take up much space. I've been working through the quests I see and fixing them accordingly, and it would help if you could do the same. Thankyou...OH yea, one more thing, external links aren't needed at the end of the page if the id= has been filled in the Questbox. User:CoobraSssssssssssssssssssssssss User:CoobraFor Pony! {TDon't hiss at me.โ€ขCIf you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all.) 07:21, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks! I had been hesitant to do anything with quests since I've seen a few different variations. I'll keep the above in mind. Mordsith - (talk|contr) 11:58, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

MIA

I'm sure that if anyone noticed me you're wondering where I went and thinking "well that was shortlived". School is about to start up again, and life got a little hectic. Same reasons I quit WoW in the first place.  ;) I will probably be back occasionally, most likely once the semester is over. Have fun and see you later! -- Mordsith - (talk|contr) 15:34, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks

.. for your nice comments over on my talk page :) It looks like our interests in working on professions are complementary, since I'm mainly interested in jewelcrafting and leatherworking. It's great to see the other crafting pages are getting upgrades too. If you find your revamped recipe pages get too long and slow, consider the collapsed approach I did for leatherworking patterns (though now I think I need to add a few icons, as the page looks rather bland when it first loads...) --W.woods (talk) 15:09, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the tip! I didn't know you could collapse the tables like that. If I find the time I will look into that change. Feel free to adjust them yourself though if you like - I can't claim ownership or anything. =) I'm having trouble finding the time for everything I want to do with my last year of school ahead of me. But I'm sure you're busy too... the beauty of a wiki is that someone should be able to get to it! Have fun editing! -- Mordsith - (talk|contr) 14:19, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
I had "Eirik Ratcatcher" asking me about it, too. It looks like he also has plans for blacksmithing_recipes, so I'll leave it to you two. I posted my thoughts and experiences (based on jc and lw) on Talk:Blacksmithing_recipes. I see you've put a lot of time into that page, so you might want to read it if you haven't seen it lately :) --w.woods (talk) 07:28, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

RE: Moving an image

You will have to upload it manually again. g0urra[T҂C] 01:26, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Ok thanks -- Mordsith - (talk|contr) 05:32, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

I love it

We're so similar! Two wowwiki addicts, both Hordetanks, married females IRL. Sweet. -Howbizr (talk) 22:44, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
