linking query..
Hey Master Sima,

So I'm starting to get the hang of this editing business, but still feel like a bit of a noob sometimes. Quick question I hope you can help with...

When I'm writing something and hyperlink a word to another page, first line is for the page and second is for how the word will appear in the text. But then when you put the cursor over the word as it appears, the full link is showen. On other links when you do this only the word or maybe a person's full name is showen. How do I do this?

Thanks Master SSubject AMDR 08:43, January 11, 2011 (UTC)

To make a link the way you asked, you have to use a different type of link. Instead of typing, say, Ezio, you can type Ezio. The word on the left is the page that you want to link to, and the word on the right is the text that will appear on the screen when reading the article. Hope that helps, OZ ZY  09:15, January 11, 2011 (UTC)

Hey Ozzy, that worked great thanks. I think it just looks a lot tidier that way.

Cheers Subject AMDR 09:53, January 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * Glad to see you figured it out, mate. Thanks OZZY. :) -- T H I E F 11:51, January 11, 2011 (UTC)

Bugs
I've been doing a lot of work on the Bugs page, and I was wondering, if by the time I'm finished, the revamp tag could be taken off it? I'm only about halfway through it, but the changes are quite noticable. &#39;R BlaiddDdraig 12:51, January 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hmm... it's still a bit... big. -- Master Sima Yi 20:18, January 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * True, would you allow me to delete some of them, for example:


 * "In the demo of Assassin's Creed made available at E3 2007, critics noted that there were some bugs in Altaïr's movement. These bugs appear to have been rectified in the final version, however."
 * Although it's a bug, it won't affect anybody with the game, as stated in the last sentance.


 * As well as:


 * "In the northeast part of Acre there is a jump you can make only during Sequence 3 where you can get one of two achievements: "Eagle's Will" or "Blade in the Crowd"."
 * It doesn't give enough information, and barely makes sense because of it.


 * I'll understand if you disagree. &#39;R BlaiddDdraig 05:02, January 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * Oh, but I do agree. They don't make any sense being on that page. -- Master Sima Yi 06:28, January 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * Okay, I went through it and deleted the ones that weren't necessary, and merged some others. It's still very long, but I don't see a way of making it any shorter. If you have any ideas, tell me. But if not, can I remove the revamp tag?  ’ R BlaiddDdraig  13:09, January 19, 2011 (UTC)

Siege
Hi, Sima, how goes life? Anyways I've shown some interest in the Siege of Viana article and last week I did some work on it, however I feel that it is lacking something, so being an admin you know what makes a good article and so with some hard work would I be able to promote it to a good status? Or is it one of those articles that cannot be promoted? Is it okay, when you have the time that is, to let me know what it lacks so I can later try and improve it? AssassinRome 19:13, January 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * I think every article can be promoted. But it has to be pretty damn good. :P In my opinion, the article focuses way too much on the duel between Cesare and Ezio, and not so much on the overall battle. Perhaps narrow down the game section and write some more about what happens besides that; if you can find info on it, that is? -- Master Sima Yi 20:18, January 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * I understand, thank you for the advise Sima ; ) AssassinRome 21:40, January 11, 2011 (UTC)

Another vandal
G'day Sima, got a vandal. Cheers, OZ ZY  00:24, January 12, 2011 (UTC)

90.211.158.70. Vandalising heaps of stuff on Lucy's page, I think it's the same person GD told War about earlier, someone with rollback needs to fix it. &#39;R BlaiddDdraig 17:07, January 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thief took care of it. -- Master Sima Yi 06:28, January 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * Had already taken care of it. -- Master Sima Yi 17:08, January 17, 2011 (UTC)

87.209.43.218, vandalised the Hidden Blade page.  ’ R BlaiddDdraig 17:53, January 19, 2011 (UTC)


 * Done. -- Master Sima Yi 17:54, January 19, 2011 (UTC)

96.255.197.174 vandalised the Prowler and Courtesan pages. OZ ZY  21:47, January 19, 2011 (UTC)

Done. -- Master Sima Yi 21:50, January 19, 2011 (UTC)

database entry
Hi master,

I thought i'd seek some advice before i go off on one potentially destructive/annoying editing spree.. i have noticed that a large amont of the characters, main and otherwise, do not have sections for the ingame database entries... is there a reason for this, i.e. not to clutter the articles, or is there a wiki project perhaps or somewhere in particular that is dealing with this? point me in the right direction or give me the go ahead to start adding the characters database entries to their articles. Thanks Subject AMDR 17:42, January 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * I added a few database entries some time ago. But they're useless. They provide the same information that is already in the articles' biography sections, sometimes even less. I do believe there is a page on database entries, though. Database articles, I believe. -- Master Sima Yi 17:45, January 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * True true.. ok I will bear this in mind and only add those that may bring something more to the article and not just repeat the same info. Cheers! Subject AMDR 17:58, January 12, 2011 (UTC)

Edit
Hey all Im doing is updating what the site says, if it says in assassin's creed: the fall, there is a grand master, then there is one, I'm just trying to make that page better


 * DAMN! Sign your posts!!! Secondly, there ALWAYS is a grand master. If we want to include all of them, we can add a whole lot of placeholders. I just doesn't improve the article in any way. -- Master Sima Yi 18:31, January 12, 2011 (UTC)

Hey um, what do you mean by the other warning on my page? there wasn't any that I know of, If I did delete it's because I was cleaning out my page. And what do you mean by signing my posts? I don't know what exactly that is. Please reply. User:SnipaBoy97


 * It already says how you can sign your posts right above the edit section! You sign your posts by simply adding ~ at the end of your post. That will make your name and the date automatically show up, like at the end of my post. And I didn't say "other warnings", I said "other content". ;) -- Master Sima Yi 19:11, January 12, 2011 (UTC)

i did not men it
i am sorry i did not men it


 * Ah, you were just joking, eh? :P Sure. Nevermind, just makes sure it doesn't happen again. And sign your posts! -- Master Sima Yi 13:47, January 13, 2011 (UTC)

Gallery problem
Hi, Sima, how are you? I apologise for another one of my annoying messages but this is a problem that has frustrated me since the end of November. Whenever I attempt to add an image to a gallery on a article I can't, really I mean it, it won't let me. The selection box, or whatever you call it, shows up on the page, but not one the options appear to let me do anything. And I'm sorry if what I'm saying confuses you, I never have had the intelligence to refer to the correct term or name with matters like this. Anyways I'm not sure if this problem that can be fixed or not, if you have a solution to this can you please tell me? If it can't be fixed then I'll forget about it and continue with simple edits. AssassinRome 20:44, January 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure what you're talking about. I always add images to a gallery by source editing (the Source button is on the top right of the edit field). -- Master Sima Yi 20:46, January 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * It won't allow me to add to any gallerys at all. If I attempt to do so then the gallery box, sorry for my unintelligent language regarding this, will appear with nothing, no options or anything. AssassinRome 20:55, January 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * No, then you have to edit via codes. But I won't be able to help with any other form of editing, sorry. -- Master Sima Yi 20:56, January 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * Okay, thank you for you're time ; ) AssassinRome 21:00, January 14, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks... kinda'
Thanks for handling a bit of that. But I did mention things, one because he has been stalking a friend of mine, claims to have hacked another friend and has begun stalking me on 3 wikis. I tell you of him also because frankly he may start trolling. Though he hasn't thankfully, he has on former wikis, and myself as well as, well, a very large group of individuals are going to be consulting Staff on this issue. Just... don't start making deals with him... seriously. I've bureaucrat status on both other wikis and I have yet to find a way to appropriately combat him effectively. Just letting you know. Oh and I do intend to get back here ;) I've just been having a couple of issues to get over regarding another user here, as he believes himself to always be right, which very much irritates me :P. But, yes I'm back ;) -- P  i   r   a   t   e   h   u   n   t   e   r   (Talk&bull;Contribs&bull;Logs) 22:18, January 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * No problem. And thanks for letting us know, we'll keep it in mind. But we can only ban people when they did something wrong, which he hasn't (yet?). And why would I make deals with him? oO That sounds... wrong. Deals about what? oO And good to have you back. ;) -- Master Sima Yi 22:32, January 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * Was mainly just making a point :P. And yes I sorta' know you can't ban people on a whim, Sima, lol. I'm a b'crat on 3 other wiki's remember. Heh. -- P  i   r   a   t   e   h   u   n   t   e   r   (Talk&bull;Contribs) 20:17, January 15, 2011 (UTC)

I found a vandal
72.86.138.167 replaced a paragraph on the Armor page with "Poop Poop Poop". Please block him. Thanks, Jackass2009 03:37, January 15, 2011 (UTC)

Help... :/
I seriously need you to talk to this guy Tangible. :/ I've told him several times to stop talking to me, and he keeps coming back. I left a message on D's talk, but he must not be on. Please, he is seriously getting me edgy, and I don't know what to do about it. :/ Thanks, P   i   r   a   t   e   h   u   n   t   e   r   (Talk&bull;Contribs) 21:17, January 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * What do you want me to do? Tell him to stop talking to you for no reason? oO -- Master Sima Yi 21:20, January 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * I don't see how it's for no reason :/. He's been doing this for a while now, and I can't edit or do anything with him doing it nonstop like this. And it is honestly harassment in my opinion :/ -- P  i   r   a   t   e   h   u   n   t   e   r   (Talk&bull;Contribs) 21:40, January 16, 2011 (UTC)

 * It think it's the Campanile di San Marco in Venice. -- Master Sima Yi 15:04, January 17, 2011 (UTC)

Inappropriate image?
Hey Sima,

Just wondering if you think the image of Juan Borgia being assassinated at the Incident at the Pagan Party is approprate for that page? It show Ezio jumping in the air to assassinate him, when for full sync he must be assassinated from a bench. I'm trying to get a correct image, but just thought I would check with you first to see if you agree?

-- Sick-Steen13:10, January 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * I do agree. -- Master Sima Yi 15:04, January 17, 2011 (UTC)

Animus Project 2.0
Hey Sima

Could you take the this page has not been sourced off the animus project 2.0 page? Its sorta already out. I cant seem to do it myself. Thanks Subject 12 10:45, January 20, 2011 (UTC)

Uh no its still there. The posting thing was an accident. Subject 12 16:05, January 20, 2011 (UTC)

Timeline inaccuracy?
Hey Sima, I was just looking over the timeline and noticed that it states that in 465BC Darius 'invented' the hidden blade. I was under the impression that his use of it was the first recorded one, not that he was the inventor. I was considering removing it but thought I would check with you first to see are you aware of such a claim and if it's true or not? Cheers! Sick-steeN 13:27, January 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * It isn't said anywhere he was the inventor. You can remove it. -- Master Sima Yi 14:12, January 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * Will do, thanks Sima! Sick-steeN  14:25, January 20, 2011 (UTC)

Badge Hunter?
Hey Sima, looks like we have a guy fishing for badges, he's been flying around articles and blog pages doing needless and useless edits such as a : ) or replacing a full stop with a comma when unnecessary. No valuable contribitions, trying to climb the ranks I think... Anyway heres his page LeetMark. Or just have a peek at the recent activity and you will see. Cheers! Sick-steeN  00:24, January 22, 2011 (UTC)

Sima, I think you should have a look at this user. He does a single edit multiple times while saving the page each time. Vatsa 19:55, February 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * Well Sima, doesn't seem like that warning had much effect on his abusing, he's did a series on the Timeline page. Vatsa  14:27, February 17, 2011 (UTC)

Database Articles
I editted this page so as to make it lood more organised. I wanted to know that whether the Revamp template should be removed or not. I posted thia on D.Cello's page as well, but he hasn't replied. Nisheeth 12:37, January 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * It does look a lot better, yes, but it's not great yet. I will change some thing after this weekend, when I get access to a fast computer. -- Master Sima Yi 18:21, January 22, 2011 (UTC)

Apply the Revamped Template
Greetings. Please update the codes posted on your userpage.

- Sysop Header

- Sysop Userbox

Remove the code once applied. I suggest you get rid of the Istruttori userbox though. It's messing up the other boxes, and you don't have a preset image for the Istruttori, only admin. Red don't mix well with blue. Safety and peace. -- Jacques le Blanc Reception Area 16:21, January 22, 2011 (UTC)

AC Brotherhood Book
Hey Sima, I was just wondering if I should list that Ezio is a Christian under the book to game differences. I say he is a Christian because numerous times he professed his faith in God and Jesus Christ. The reason I'm asking you is because I'm not sure if this is a difference.

P.S. I can provide you with page numbers and quotes if you doubt my claim.

Sincerely,

Frozenchroma 15:08, January 23, 2011 (UTC)Frozenchroma


 * Sorry, forgot to reply. Yes, if he is explicitly stated to be a Christian in the book, you can put it under differences. ;) -- Master Sima Yi 21:31, January 25, 2011 (UTC)

Reverted changed, Ghost of Christmas Past
Why did you revert my changes? In all the other chapters that have these images they are all placed on the left side, as an introductory image to that memory. Why would you want this specific images to stay on the right side? Sekuiya 17:05, January 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * 'Cause when you moved it to the left, there was a big gap on the right side. You should've removed the " " below it as well. And since you didn't, I undid your edit. -- Master Sima Yi 17:07, January 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * Big gap on the right side? I don't exactly understand what you mean. Now there is a big gap on the left so what's the difference? There is a big gap because this memory doesn't have a big introductory text like the other ones. I was just trying to formated it like the other chapters have it. It makes little sense having only this one with this image on the right side. And about the " ", I was trying it for the first time, didn't know it's practical use but since it was used in the other chapters I guess it couldn't go wrong. Besides, if I removed the "  " the "Philippi, Macedonia" part would rise too much and it would break formation. Sekuiya 17:29, January 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * I did not know all the others were on the left. Though personally, I think having them all in the middle would look better. -- Master Sima Yi 17:31, January 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * In the middle? How so? And where would you put the introductory text? Sekuiya 17:37, January 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * I mean to put the picture in the middle of the page, right above the introductory text. -- Master Sima Yi 18:24, January 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * Something like this then? Assassin's Creed Wiki:Sandbox/box3 Used parts of the Italian Wars Chapter 4 for testing purposes. Sekuiya 19:22, January 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes, something like that. ;) -- Master Sima Yi 19:59, January 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * Okay, I'll start changing to it in the other chapters too... after I have dinner. Changed it a little bit, please recheck. Instead of having the thumb version I think the full version would be better. Maybe the introductory text should also be centered, what do you think? Sekuiya 20:17, January 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes, I agree. -- Master Sima Yi 20:37, January 25, 2011 (UTC)

Categories
Hi Master, I seen your comment there regarding pointless categories. I would like to make sure that i am ok to continue as I have been doing so..? As i have been adding many new articles for the ACBH memories these require images, they are memories, and i add stub also becuase I belive each could be improved as they are small articles and may still be improved.. Thanks for clarification, though i do think i'm ok -- Lord of the Creed 17:02, January 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * I was referring to the "gameplay" and "Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy" categories on the Monteriggioni page. They are pointless. -- Master Sima Yi 17:04, January 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * Ok good, I agree. Thanks for getting back to me anyway. Lord of the Creed  17:06, January 26, 2011 (UTC)

Infobox
On the landmarks pages, the Infoboxes are Memories ones because there isn't any for buildings and the one for locations doesn't fit in as well. Campbell430 20:58, February 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * Then request for one to be made. I'm sure Jasca can do it. Adding the Memory Infobox is completely out of place and just stupid. -- Master Sima Yi 20:59, February 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * OK, I asked Thief a while back, but he said to add the locations ones and I started to do so, but 16 added the memories one to some and I thought they fitted in better so I added them. I'll send Jasca a request for them to be made. Peace. Campbell430 21:02, February 12, 2011 (UTC)

Micheletto Corella
Micheletto studied at Pisa. In this page of the italian website Condottieri di Ventura, a website were there are much information of the majors italian's mercenari, say it. Also, there is a japanese comic, called Chēzare Hakai no Souzousha, Cesare in english ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cesare_%28manga%29 wikipedia). This comic tells of Cesare's life during his matriculation at the University of Pisa, at the tender age of 15. Sorry for my orrible english, i'm italian ^^ Darkmosconi97 20:17, February 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * You didn't say that. You said that he "was raised in Pisa" and "studied Cesare". Not the same thing. Plus, that comic isn't a source for historical information, as it is fictional. And English isn't my first language either. But I have no problem if you put it up there, so long as it makes sense... XD -- Master Sima Yi 20:22, February 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes, i wrong. However, I think it's appropriate write Pisa and not Rome, right? Darkmosconi97 22:27, February 18, 2011 (UTC)

 * Hi Master Sima Yi i would like to ask if i can open up pages about the armor used in both Asassin's Creed 2 and Brotherhood and create a category page for armor when i have time
