Great job adding items and many other updates
You're doing an amazing amount of work. Could you make sure you add stub tags at the top of pages? You should also consider a request for adminship if you think it could help. --

Did you know...
...you were nominated to be an admin? Your comments would be appreciated. --

Adminship
While we're waiting on further potential comments from the community about your admin nomination, we were wondering if you'd like to be promoted to a Moderator in the meantime? Raylan13 (talk) 19:14, February 21, 2011 (UTC)
- Sure it would be nice to have the extra agilities. Servian (talk) 20:10, February 21, 2011 (UTC)
- Yay! --

Weapon - Staff categories
Category:World of Warcraft staff items seems more consistent with the other weapon categories. Eventually I will get a bot of some sort running to do the many mass cleanup tasks for categories that we desperately need. --

Need a short description for admin page
Looks like you didn't have any wiki enemies ready to bad-mouth your nomination...
We need a short description for you to put in WoWWiki:Administrators. If you think of something, leave it on my talk page or Raylan13's talk page. Or you can just put something in yourself later when you think of something. --

Glad to see you like uploading icons
I haven't figured a fast way of doing it yet. --

Mists of Pandaria icons
Do you know of any good way to figure out what icons will be new with Mists of Pandaria? I've been looking at the new MoP Talent Calculator and there are a few new ones I've found, but my methodology for figuring out which are new is pretty haphazard. I'll be uploading the few I've found, but some may be just ones we happened to be missing that aren't new. --

- If they're not in the current data files probably would have to get the testing client for panda. Servian (talk) 22:11, February 20, 2012 (UTC)
Armor changes
Was wondering what the reasoning was behind the most recent changes that were made to pages like the Tol'Vir Hereditary Girdle (aside from durability updates)? The category of "rare mail waist" seems correct and falls in line with other quality armor, like "uncommon mail waist" and so forth. Also, "your" should be kept in the itembox, as it keeps everything standard across all pages, is verbatim what is in the item description, and is easier to leave in when creating pages rather than taking out every time. Raylan13 (talk) 17:29, February 21, 2012 (UTC)
- "Your" is such a standard word though and it just adds to extra text being wrapped into 2 lines. I was almost thinking about undoing the sub sub categorization or try to figure out a way to where the categories auto apply to what ever is filled into the infobox. The fact that 90% of the items don't use the real specific categories makes it little out of place.Servian 18:19, February 21, 2012 (UTC)
- Tbh, the text wrapping happens in at least half the gear pages I've done over the past year, regardless of whether "your" is included or not. Removing the word is just an extra step when creating pages that isn't really needed. We might try to talk to Fandyllic about the autogenerating categories, as he did something similar with the NPC boxes, at least with NPC/mob levels. I don't know how feasible/easy it would be to do, but anything that would simplify the process is always a great tool.
- And thanks for fleshing out the categories and tweaking the newarticletext so that it shows in the new page box. It makes it far easier to help new users if we can just point to that when they create a new page. Raylan13

- It would be easy to update the {{tooltip}} template to automatically generate categories. --
Fandyllic (talk · contr) 21 Feb 2012 3:08 PM Pacific
- Gonna start testing auto-categorizing with {{tooltip/dev}}. After a bit of testing, I will make a forum post proposing it be turned on site-wide. --

AutoWikiBrowser
If you haven't done it, try going to Preferences, then set the site dropdown to Other where you would normally set it to Wikia. Hopefully that'll work, otherwise I'll have to trap someone on Monday who's in the office. Let me know! Raylan13 (talk) 01:45, March 4, 2012 (UTC)
- I tried that, I even tried setting it to custom and entering in wowwiki.com, It a [NullReferenceException in ApiEdit.Login] error msg. Not sure if the whole description is same as what i get in the error msg though. I've tried closing the program and reopening and still get the error msg when ever I try to login to wowwiki
Just got the same error. Realized I hadn't put in the "www" for www.wowwiki.com, and then it worked. Raylan13 (talk) 06:04, March 4, 2012 (UTC)
Bot
Done! Also, did including the "www." work for AutoWiki? Raylan13 (talk) 01:18, March 6, 2012 (UTC)
- Yea I had to set it to custom then use "www.wowwiki.com", you also might want to check the npcbox template doc= doesn't omit the level category. Servian (talk) 02:30, March 6, 2012 (UTC)
Large ethereal shard icon
Is File:Trade_enchanting_largeetherealshard.png supposed to be blank? --
Fandyllic (talk · contr) 13 Apr 2012 9:55 PM Pacific
- That file and File:trade enchanting smalletherealshard.png are blank in the data files. Servian (talk) 12:23, April 14, 2012 (UTC)
These icons seems to be available now:

Lucky Qulen Cub icon
Can you upload
? I'd do it, but you seem to have a system. --
Fandyllic (talk · contr) 1 Aug 2012 11:31 AM Pacific
- My only system is to upload whats red on WoWWiki:WoW_Icons/Mists_Beta_Icon_List after I recompile the list after each update, which sounds like there another patch because I don't have that icon in the list. You can do it if you want to, I still have to d/l the patch and redo the list. Servian (talk) 03:01, August 2, 2012 (UTC)
Hey
Hey Servian, i'm RPT, the newest admin here. I noticed that you seem to be the expert on WoW icons and I have to say it's nice to see you active again!
Macrophager (talk) 03:04, February 8, 2013 (UTC)
- Welcome aboard, yea I'm not real active but I try to pop in now and then to make sure at least any new icons need added. I haven't figured out any good ways to finding what current icons have been changed though. Servian (talk) 21:09, February 8, 2013 (UTC)
- I didn't know blizzard ever changed the current icons.

Wind-Soaked Drape
Thanks for adding that item in! I thought I was going mad when I looked and saw it there, because I didn't remember adding it.
