Category on you
Cello, you're still categorized under "Absent Users". Just thought I'd mention it. :P -- War Clown Wanna Talk? 03:43, November 13, 2010 (UTC) I'm taking a vacation again in a couple weeks, might as well leave it =P Thanks, War! =] -- D. Cello 03:45, November 13, 2010 (UTC)

Reward
For my reward I decline the title of Wiki Visionary and humbly accept the title of Wiki Seer, which also comes with double the prize money. Beyond that, just pass on the good word, rig a vote or two in my favor, topple a few world governments and we shall call it even ;) Oh and let people know that who made it :)

I dropped the opacity to 60% but I'll drop it further to 40%. Shift reload to see the changes. I left both the 60% and 80% in the css, just uncomment whatever you need. Cheers mate! -- 09:14, November 13, 2010 (UTC)

Walkthroughs
Do you post walkthroughs on the site? We have a full gameplay walkthrough of Assassin's Creed Brotherhood on our Youtube channel (Found Here ). Just thought it would help.

Managing Editor of Media Cows
 * Damn. I'll make sure to not watch that. Ay, we have walkthroughs on the site, mate. Interested in posting them here? -- D. Cello 03:44, November 17, 2010 (UTC)

We do walkthroughs yes but usually in Text but i think it'd be cool if the videos were implanted each of these videos in its respective section what say u Cello?

sry to bother you
hi, i'm Jérôme Reille

i've created and am currently maintaining the italian Wars page, but i have a tiny problem.

i was wondreing if you could point me in the right direction.

Question 1

I'm using as a browser Flock (based on firefox, tweaked for facebook and other social communities)

i have one quirk i cannot seem to get arround:

when i log into the wikia.com using my facebook connect everything *is fine*

but when I then go edit the page, i am doing so as anonymous... my cookies are good, i've checked that...

any idea why this is happening? .. ^^

Question 2

new to the wikia community i was wondering if there is a way to leave comments on a page for people who would want to edit it, but not people who just want to read it.

i have put at botom of page a note saying "under construction", but was wondering if that could appear only to people who would want to edit it... ?

i'm getting acb tomorrow, can't wait. have fun.
 * Hey, Jerome. With the first question, I can't help, cause I don't use that nor I'm a geek or nerdy guy. Second: the whole purpose of the wiki is to read AND write, so it is expected your users edit it without further input for you. Keep in mind that if your wiki s new and/or your subject is not very popular, yoy may have a slow start. Also, more important than the content of a wiki, are the community of it. Keep in mind that by growing the numbers and caring about your users, you will have a more solid and stable site. More users, more articles. More articles, more visibility, which leads to more users. It's basic knowledge. Without it, no wiki is anything. Send word if you need more assitance. -- D. Cello 03:55, November 17, 2010 (UTC)

Hi Jerome, i saw those pages are in revamp category, i can help you just tell me what does it need. Post it on my talk page.
 * Use IE and sign in directly, not throught facebook..

Vatsa1708 17:55, November 18, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks!

Hey... just checking the functionality of the talk pages...


 * grumbles*More likely trying to get a badge... :|

Admin Auditor(e) Talk 10:03, November 21, 2010 (UTC)

@ Admin Auditore -> sry I am not used to this wiki interface (and no i don't care about badges)

@ Vasta -> doing so now, thx !

Sub-page for Gallery
Hey Cello. Just a suggestion. I saw the gallery section for Ezio's page, and numerous bastards added promotional pictures of Ezio, and old pictures that Zwoosh had on his page. That ain't a bad thing (It's obvious those bastards did it for the badges) but, rather than remove some pics, I have an idea. Why don't we create a sub-page for some characters that have too much pictures? This idea ain't original, I was inspired by the Avatar Wiki and Wookiepedia's ideas. Here is an example of one of the Avatar wiki's gallery pages. So, what you say? BTW, this place is in chaos :| -- War Clown Wanna Talk? 11:18, November 21, 2010 (UTC) -*or is it would giving these users a whole page-- I'm tired.. haha. -- T H I E F  21:16, November 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * I turn my back to vacation three days and things go to hell? oO What's going on, War? and about the sub-page idea, go for it! ;D -- D. Cello 21:11, November 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * That's a good idea, War. But wouldn't* giving these users a whole page to add pictures in be even more chaotic (Call of Duty wiki tried it, and there's every single screenshot in the world on those pages, they even had to remove the badge system :O)? I say just sift out the bad, and unnecessary pictures and keep the gallery on that one page for eye-candy and easy navigation purposes, I don't think it's exactly hell, if you know what you're doing :).

@Cello - I have no idea how everything went to hell. I haven't been around much, been playing too much of Brotherhood. Yeah, really awesome. Best AC..no, Best Game Ever!

@Thief - Good point. A sub-page could be a gateway for medal abusers to gain more points, but think about this instead; a lot of other websites depend on us for information (GameFaqs and deviantArt are good examples of them) and a lot of people come here to read stuff about their favorite game. A lot of people download awesome images we took from other websites, and also images we took from the game itself. My main point: people come to us. Ezio and some other characters have some very awesome images that readers might use as wallpapers or whatever the hell they want to do with it. A sub-page can help them in looking for some decent images to use. Besides, this ain't just a simple dumpster for images. We can turn it into an organized archive for images. We can sort pictures by periods, years, specific categories or whatever. Here's a sample of the format:

Ezio Auditore da Firenze/Gallery

Solo Images w/ Others In-Game Images Assassin's Creed II Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood Promotional Images

That's just a sample mind you. If you have better categories in mind, I'm all ears. So, change your mind? Whatever your decision will be, I'll respect it wholeheartedly. -- War Clown Wanna Talk? 13:31, November 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * Alright, that convinces me; then. I know that list is just a sample, but I think it would be more ethical to have it like this:


 * Ezio Auditore da Firenze/Gallery


 * ::: Solo Images


 * ::: In-Game Images (Most are going to be in-game anyway)
 * ::: Promotional Images


 * :: w/ Others


 * :: Solo Images

Altough the idea is very good, this is somehting you should have predicted, Thief. Try to add a exception for File: namespaces or you will have to check every single image and make sure it's corrected. Think in long terms, plan ahead, mate. -- D. Cello 05:28, November 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * :: w/ Others
 * ::: Promotional Images
 * What do you think? BTW I saw that cool userbox redirect you created for extended galleries, pretty good stuff although in my opinion it needs to be a bit bigger. :P Really awesome idea. -- T H I E F  06:30, November 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Haha, awesome! A lot more organized. And I made the box bigger. Gonna make it an official template now. -- War Clown Wanna Talk? 06:45, November 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Schweet! Also, just to let you know. I'm programming my own bot for use in this wiki, it's going to be fixing spelling errors, the special i fixes in Altaïr, and some other stuff. :) -- T <font color="#0b0076">H <font color="#15006c">I <font color="#200062">E <font color="#2b0059">F  07:06, November 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * And...success! We have created a sub-gallery for Ezio! I'll organize it later :D About the bot, awesome idea. Watch out though. I heard they tend to go berserk sometimes. -- War Clown Wanna Talk? 07:50, November 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * And it already went... As Jacques le Blanc said to Thief in his talk page, the bot is messign with filenames.
 * And it already went... As Jacques le Blanc said to Thief in his talk page, the bot is messign with filenames.
 * Agreed. So Cello, what you think of the new sub-gallery? Still haven't organized them though, working on the timeline so, sorry about that =/ BTW, I changed the Welcome Template. What you think of it now? <font color="#FFFFFF">Jacques le Blanc Reception Area 05:44, November 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually, D.; he is also programmed to move, or rename filenames. Don't worry, it'll sort itself out. And if it doesn't, i'll revert. ;P -- <font color="#000080">T <font color="#0b0076">H <font color="#15006c">I <font color="#200062">E <font color="#2b0059">F  06:19, November 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Mkay Cello and War, he/it is fixing everything up now. Of course maybe 1 or 2 files will become weird (due to fusspots actually naming the file with the ï in it), but that's always to be expected when we try something for the first time and the chances of those images being in actual articles is slim. I hope you're not dissapointed with this guy, he's darn awesome at fixing these ascii characters and such and I don't want this bot starting off with a bad rep, also Cello; I did tell you at the bottom of your talk that I was activating it, I've only given it one task; so I did take precautions :P. So, what do you think of Veetor? Just reply at the section I created hours ago at the bottom of this page. :P Cheers! And by god, talk to the robot at his page! Encourage the screwhead so he won't stuff up again! -- <font color="#000080"> <font color="#000080">T <font color="#0b0076">H <font color="#15006c">I <font color="#200062">E <font color="#2b0059">F  06:37, November 28, 2010 (UTC)

 * Everything you need to know is on the main page, under the "helping out" section. If you have any doubts, come to me =] -- D. Cello 22:26, November 22, 2010 (UTC)

still stumped

why is heavy weapons armor and assassins creed brotherhood not in categories


 * Fõr starters: please don't add categories, a revamp is coming soon and anyone adding pages will only make it harder. And I just saw your Desmond's backpack page, please write in a civilized way. Write the RIGHT names with proper capitalziation, punctuation and grammar. -- D. Cello 03:27, November 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Also, DON'T refere to games. This is a encyclopedia, nto agame guide, so nothign like "this appeared on brotherhood on sequence 3" or whatever. And tri to add links. And try to use templates correctly. And ALWAYS sign your posts. Really, man, just read everything on the helping out section, specially the tutorial and manual of style. -- D. Cello 03:30, November 23, 2010 (UTC)

Hey D. Cello
Hey mate, could you please explain your changes to the main page revamp? The older way was, in my opinion more spaced out and less squished (looked better too), as well as easier to navigate with. Maybe you could convince me as to why it's better how it is now. On another note, the Community HUB links to the portal template, we going to tune up that page later? :D

Cheers! -- <font color="#000080">T <font color="#0b0076">H <font color="#15006c">I <font color="#200062">E <font color="#2b0059">F  05:14, November 23, 2010 (UTC) And the hub button only goes to the protal:assassins wiki if you don;t give time enough for the java to load it. If you wait a coupel of seconds, it stays on main page. (and I would really appreciate if you didn't change important things like the main page without even asking me first. You completely removed the link and purpose of the hub button with that last edit. Order, Thief... order.) Are we clear? ;D -- D. Cello 17:01, November 23, 2010 (UTC) The problem with FA is that I wanted it to be a box two columns wide, instead of one column like everything else. But I can't figure out how to do it. If you wanna give it a try at that, be my guest =] -- D. Cello 22:13, November 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't have to convince you of ANYTHING, Thief. As for the current layout, I'm changing it a little (we need to ad things such as the FA box in there somewhere somehow) and until I finish, I would appreciate if nobody changed it. Later, if you don't like it, you can give me a good reason to revert it. Just like we did with the skin: I managed to finish the white, people complained it was too bright, so I changed it again, and it is still awesome.
 * Sorry, mate :(. BTW; the new background skin is so awesome! Anyway, again with your reply; I didn't know about that java thing, I just went insane and clicked it straight away. Hahaha. I won't change it again, trust me, although I hope you consider what I said.. and yeah, we're clear. :D
 * By the way, you could easily slot the FA in replacement for the Newest Articles box/template. Then it would probably be a good idea to move that under the FM; then you'd need to shorten the forum template to only display about 2 new topics/threads and put that above the Helping Out template, so it fits neatly. If you can't do it, I guess I can try. By the way, this is totally off-topic but; I'm a creative artist (specialize in Writing, Drawing), not a coder. So don't think of me as some acne-ridden fatass if I manage to fix up a few codes :P. Because I ain't, hahahaah. Just thought I should get that across, ROFL. Wow, that was actually a pretty good quote, I might use that for my userpage! :]
 * Later, Cello. -- <font color="#000080">T <font color="#0b0076">H <font color="#15006c">I <font color="#200062">E <font color="#2b0059">F  20:51, November 23, 2010 (UTC)

can I do this?
can I make an assassins creed brotherhood walkthrough.

Nighthawkassassin 18:07, November 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * yes for the backpack picutre, and for the walkthrough, the page already exists, only need content. Make sure it looks like this. Don't change formatting or pictures of the BH walk, only add content ;D -- D. Cello 18:16, November 23, 2010 (UTC)

so I can finish it for you?Nighthawkassassin 18:28, November 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * You're not "finishing for me", you're simply finishing it. It's a wiki, everybody edits =] -- D. Cello 18:29, November 23, 2010 (UTC)

anyway I can capitalize stuff and so on instead of taking hours to do that I can just click something and it will do it for me?

hey D give me a minute im taking this all from memory I had to make a new gameNighthawkassassin 19:27, November 23, 2010 (UTC)

i was so sure I did it rightNighthawkassassin 22:55, November 23, 2010 (UTC)

contact address needed
Hello D.Cello,

I am writing you about a small matter. I personally don't know exactly what everything is all about, but an Ubisoft rep would need an contact address from you. If you could kindly help and see what this is all about, I would be happy to pass it on. And no, it's not a joke or whatever you think.

Thank you in advance,

DeeNuke.
 * Cheers, Dee. As odd as this may seem, the prospect is too important to pass up if it it's true. I can be contacted via this link. Mind me telling how this came to be? Thanks ;D -- D. Cello 17:29, November 25, 2010 (UTC)

I personally don't know the details. You can look at me as an unofficial intern. :) But, I do hope that everything will go well whatever it is. :) Thank you very much for your help.

Dee. By your deviant page, seems you're into AC. Played Brotherhood already? -- D. Cello 17:42, November 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah, cool ^^ I don't like disclosing my email here anymore, there are dozens of rookies who'd try to bombard me with messages if I do x.x You have no idea how annoying it can be to open your inbox and see 30 messages like "hey dcello im new on wiki lol assassiscreed ftw lol well bye" or anything like it =P (btw, that was a actual excerpt XD) Tks, girl. =]

Oh dear! I can only imagine. That's why I said, it might be weird, because disclosing e-mails in public is never ok. :) So I understand and is no problem. But people want to talk with you. LOL :)

@THIEF for not too long ago I used to be a journalist, (technology and gaming) :) and that's how I am "related" to Ubisoft. I kept in touch with the team and since I spend $hitload of time on Internet, they just asked me if I could help. And I tried... :) Hopefully I could... That's all! :) Dee.

Brotherhood category fix
Hey D, just wanted to let you know that I fixed the Brotherhood category page to include the nav buttons (like those used on the other categories). For some reason the editor allowed me to link up the buttons to certain categories, but it didn't allow the text underneath those buttons to link to a category. This might not make sense, so just check it out yourself if you wish. For now I've kept the under-button text bold. :P

BTW: The walkthrough is now finished and properly formatted thanks to myself and GuardDog, as well as a few other editors.

Check it out here. Cheers! -- <font color="#000080">T <font color="#0b0076">H <font color="#15006c">I <font color="#200062">E <font color="#2b0059">F  03:27, November 27, 2010 (UTC)
