Establishing a Media Policy/Guidelines for Assassin's Creed Wiki
Hi Master Sima Yi,

My name is Luis and I am a Community Support Manager (ES) and Video Community Lead at Wikia. I had a few questions regarding the Assassin's Creed Wiki and was told you were the person to speak to.

As you know Wikia is currently working with communities to create Video Policies/Guidelines to their specific Wikias. As you may already know Wikia currently has been establishing an expansive library of fully licensed Wikia videos covering various forms of entertainment.

Video Swap (LVS) is our newest tool which allows admins to quickly swap videos from outside providers to the same (or very similar) video that exists in our library at Wikia Video. All our videos are fully licensed with no expiration date.

We are always looking to improve on what we can provide to our users and if it was ok with you, we would like to know what we can do to better your experience.

Lastly we want to encourage communities to create a Video Policy/Guidelines that cater to the needs of your Wikia community regarding the uploading of any media for users to reference when visiting your site if you haven't done so already. If so, do you think you could link me to it? I would greatly appreciate it! We will we doing a feature on Wikias with Video Policy/Guidelines in the near future in order for those Wikias that need references to get some help in establishing their own.

Here are a few examples:

Tardis

Skyrim

Thanks again for your time!

Hello Luis,

I apologize for the late reply, real life has been holding me up these past few months. Though I have not yet gathered our editors' opinions on this yet, I think that our main complaint with Wikia's video system would be the advertisements and commercials that are forced on viewers, which cannot be blocked with a third party program. While I do understand that those advertisements are a source of income, I think they also form quite a frustration for viewers, myself included.

Of course, I do not want to leave it at that reply, and would like to hear back from you, if you have anything to add!

Hello, I was wondering if Monima Das or Jot Soora should be added to the Animus Subjects category because to my best knowledge they both used the Animus and there memories were extracted....right? (I haven't read itn yet so i'm not that sure). Raghava  Shah  19:06, March 8, 2014 (UTC)

The category is not called "Animus users". "Animus Subjects", as the category description explicitly states, refers to subjects of the Animus Project - Subjects 1 to 17. -- 19:08, March 8, 2014 (UTC)

Question
Hello. I would just like to ask you a question on what is the coding used for implementing the "Abstergo" logo within the categories box at the bottom of an article? It would be very appreciated if you could give me an answer. Thanks! NinjaFatGuy (talk) 22:35, March 13, 2014 (UTC)

I have the feeling I'm giving this answer a bit too much, but you should ask User:Vatsa1708 about this. If I knew how it was implemented, I'd tell you, but I had nothing to do with it. -- 23:01, March 13, 2014 (UTC)

when do you think they will come out with a new Assassin creed game. what would the setting be. and do you think the main protagonist will be a female Assassin -- 14:53, March 14, 2014 (UTC)

I'm sure they will announce it soon. Assassin's Creed is an annual release title, so the next installment will come out in October or November 2014. -- 13:32, March 15, 2014 (UTC)

Hi! Thanks for telling me about sourcing images! I had no idea I had to do that!

Plus, speaking of the Guanche Assassins page, have you seen the film? Assassin's Creed: Aborigines? It's awesome!

Nay Mate Woody (talk) 08:47, March 15, 2014 (UTC)

do you think that since ps4 is not backswords compatible that new games for Sony PlayStation will still come out with ps3/ps4 or do you think Sony will stop ps3 games after ps4 is out for so long. -- 15:35, March 15, 2014 (UTC)

Hello Master Sima Yi,

My name is Jenny and I work for Guinness World Records in London, England.

I am currently undertaking some research into potential record titles for the various Assassin's Creed games.

I would be very interested to discus this with you if possible?

Many thanks,

217.64.225.225 14:29, April 10, 2014 (UTC)

Hello Jenny. I'm more than willing to help out, but I'm going to need a little more information on this. It wouldn't be the first time someone pulls a prank like this on Wikia, so if you could shed some more light on what you have in mind, that would be appreciated! -- 20:53, April 13, 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I would like to know if you can delete this page : http://assassinscreed.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Alexander_C._Miles/The_Assassin%27s_Creed_movie_finally_found_a_director! I uploaded it twice by accident. Thank you in advance. Alexander C. Miles (talk) 00:29, May 1, 2014 (UTC)

Jackdaw(bird)
Master Sima Yi,I am asking for permission to make a page Jackdaw(bird). I don't know if it is necessary so I would like you to answer me.Joker (talk) 11:42, May 11, 2014 (UTC)Joker0002710

To save time on Sima's part – No, the page won't be necessary. The bird itself only features as a reference to other articles, so it only suits as a trivia point at best on those particular articles, which it has been accommodated for. Slate Vesper (talk) 12:09, May 11, 2014 (UTC)

Would you be interested in joining a gaming contest(free) for Assassin's Creed Black Flag? The story is below, and the join link is https://www.facebook.com/pages/Assassins-creed-IV-black-flag-nonprofit-tournaments/515111188601182 If you like it, please promote the contest, I need more players to truly create an enjoyable plot.

The first contest, is to collect steel cubes. This is done by using the share button or screenshot to record your kills, each of which is worth 20 ounces of steel, which is then divided by 27 to find the amount of cubes you can fill. At the end of the year, the winners (1st through 6th place) will be determined, and rewarded with a digital trophy in memory of their accomplishment. Like this post to enter. After 20+ entrants, OR 100+ cubes collected and posted with evidence below, the adventure will be revealed. May the best pirate win!

(First 1/4 of prompt) Amid a roiling torrent of oceanic mist, the Titan surged forth, its armored contours glinting with the refracted light of the golden Sun. Sailing forth, a ebony flag streaming from its cyclopean mast whose oaken contours extended to the heavens akin to a morose soul seeking companionship with the entities of the azure dome whose curvaceous length arched overhead. The pirate hunter pivoted, its bow angling to level with Havana. The hunt begins. (Part II) Tremulous with undulating waves of anxiety, Kerointh extended his forth the vessel of bronze flesh which ill contained opal bone, and caressed the manuscript before him. Such a device would grant him his youth anew! Yet this intricate contrivance additionally required a nearly unfathomable amount of steel. Unfortunate, yet not indomitable, he could easily "reason" such quantities from pirates, proper exploitation of weakness, and a man could attain anything he wished! Without doubt, he would be young anew, and the earth would burn beneath him. (Part III) Sinuous cords of tendons' serpentine contours ascended from Edward's powerful hand as he grasped a shard of jaundiced paper whose edge bore feeble tendrils which undulated amid thew wind's matronly embrace. "Eternal youth?" he mused, perhaps he would seize such power, for life without age would bear with it a veritable font of gold since many would lust for such ageless life. Yet this Templar who sought it, would likely be dispatched to garner the remaining shard of the manuscript, yet this would be facile. The impetuous man had issued a command to extort steel from pirates, perhaps he could use this...

Watch Dogs Wiki Affiliation
Hello, Master Sima Yi. I'm an administrator over at the Watch Dogs Wiki, and I'd like to know if you and the other active administrators are interested in affiliating with our community. Considering the close relations between the games, I, for one, believe that it is very much appropriate and could be beneficial. Thank you, NinjaFatGuy (talk) 02:18, May 26, 2014 (UTC).

Unsourced images
Does this wiki hate me or something??!! I've put the sources on the images on the Assassins Creed Aborigines and the Guanche Assassins pages over and over but it does not accept it. I eventually just gave up, and deleted the images. Just don't get it!

--Nay Mate Woody (talk) 20:40, May 28, 2014 (UTC)

E3 2014 Banner on Gamepage
Hey there Master Sima Yi

My name is Doug and I'm a member of Wikia's Community Development Team! E3 2014 is next week and we'll be providing a wide variety of exciting coverage of the event! We are also looking to help promote a lot of the great work that the Assassin's Creed community creates and showcases during that time.

I am stopping by to ask for permission to embed this E3 2014 Pencil Banner on the top (or bottom) of the Assassin's Creed: UNity game page on your wiki. This will link back to our E3 Portal on the Games Hub, where we will be posting a wide variety of newly released info and media. Any content added by your community can also be showcased on this page! We wish to get as many eyes on your community and the hub as possible during the event.

The banner will only need to be in place for next week, after which it can be removed. if I have your permission to proceed and embed, please let me know! Thanks so much and have a great one. TheBlueRogue •(profile)•(talk)•(doug@wikia-inc.com) 19:01, June 4, 2014 (UTC)

Unity Nominated for Best in Show at E3
Hey there Master Sima Yi

It's Doug from Wikia's Community Development Team. I'm stopping by to let you know that Assassin's Creed: Unity has been selected as one of the best games shown at E3 2014! We're hosting a big poll over at our E3 Portal and are calling for the community to vote for their favorite E3 game! The game with the most votes wins the title of Best in Show 2014.

I have added a nomination banner on the top right-rail of the mainpage that links to the poll. Feel free to remove the banner if you would not like it there. I will also be posting a blog announcing the nomination to get community attention soon. Thanks so much! TheBlueRogue •(profile)•(talk)•(doug@wikia-inc.com) 04:41, June 11, 2014 (UTC)

Thank you. I've been out of the country from the 12th till the 20th, so I couldn't watch it. Not really much of a sports fan though (aside from Formula 1). ;) -- 08:32, June 21, 2014 (UTC)

Stealth Game Guided Tour
Hey Master Sima Yi, I'm Doug from Wikia's Community Development Team! I apologize for blowing up your message wall so much lately, but I'm curious to see if you'd be interested in participating in a Wikia Guided Tour about Stealth video games! Guided Tours are large written posts that describe and inform users about a certain genre/theme. We choose 3 or so admins of various communities to provide their opinion about the genre as a whole, what makes it great, and why they are fans. These admins then choose a small handful of 'must-play' games of the genre so new players can check out the best of the best.

If you're curious about what the Guided Tour looks like, check out some previous ones Zombies, Horror Games, and Space Opera.

If you'd be interested in being featured in this, please let me know! We are planning for the Tour to go live at the end of the month. Don't hesitate to ask any questions if you have them! Thanks : > TheBlueRogue •(profile)•(talk)•(doug@wikia-inc.com) 18:45, June 17, 2014 (UTC)

Hello Doug! I'm sorry for not getting back to your other messages; it's been a crazy month for me. And I'm afraid it's still going to be until the 30th; would it be possible to get back to you on this then, or that you send me a short reminder in case I forget? -- 08:29, June 21, 2014 (UTC)

Restyling for Unity
Isn't it about time we restyle the wiki to fit Unity? Say a new wiki-background and wiki-wordmark? (Credit goes to the German AC Wiki, where I found these at.) 07:07, June 19, 2014 (UTC)

Yes, we already have them ready. I'll see if I can do that in a bit. -- 08:29, June 21, 2014 (UTC)

Assassination targets revamp
Hello,

I know you're pretty busy, but if you have a chance, I was hoping you could look at something. I recently merged the Assassination targets/known victims page and subheading in my sandbox, and requested input here. Do you think this is an acceptable replacement that can be posted officially? -Molotov.cockroach (talk) 19:00, June 21, 2014 (UTC)

Well, I'll be honest with you, it's not what I had in mind to do with the page. I wanted to remove the separation by protagonists, and just make lists for each century. The only real issue I currenly have though is that a lot of the tabs don't list any more than one assassination, which gives me the impression that they're just there for the sake of being there rather than being a necessity. -- 22:24, June 21, 2014 (UTC)


 * Hmmm, all right. I will say the reason that some tabs have just one assassination is because I felt breaking it up by year was very useful and clean, and some years that particular Assassin only accomplished one assassination. However, I can definitely try to combine them.


 * Also, in terms of removing the breakdown by protagonist, was the thought to organize them all together according to century and then note the specific year and Assassin?


 * EDIT: I went back and combined the years a bit to make longer lists. Does that work, do you think?
 * -Molotov.cockroach (talk) 03:03, June 22, 2014 (UTC)

Yes, by specific year and Assassin was indeed my intention. I'm not too fond of placing the protagonists as 'superior' over the other characters. But it looks a lot better now. Only complaint I have now is that the Templars are still missing quite a few targets, like Gandhi and Houdini. -- 08:58, June 22, 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks for pointing it out. I added those in and poked around for others, but I think we have them all now. Also, a thought: do you think it would be useful to just have all the assassinations together, as you suggested, and then do a subpage for kills broken down by protagonist? I only suggest it because I think some people will come looking for that information specifically.


 * For right now though, with these changes, do you think the page can go up as-is in the meantime? -Molotov.cockroach (talk) 06:00, June 24, 2014 (UTC)

Yes, I think it can go up. It's a large improvement over what we have now. I do not think we'll need both a list of all assassinations together and kills broken down by protagonist, as that would be a repetition of info. Perhaps if we tabs out of those two things, though, so they wouldn't both clutter the page at the same time. -- 07:14, June 24, 2014 (UTC)

Avatar
Alright, I am prolific here so any advice? Is there a guideline? While I'm at it how do I use an irc (kidding). Btw it's good to have you back sir. Sorry for that misunderstanding in the topic thread, I suppose given Unity began development in late 2010 Ubisoft did listen to fans like myself who wanted a game with Napoleon: it's just they've taken their time to show that since they've wisely saved the setting for PS4. --Alientraveller (talk) 23:09, June 21, 2014 (UTC)

Ubisoft did a lot of surveys around 2011 and 2012 regarding settings and what people want gameplay-wise. Co-op really stood out there, and the French Revolution is as popular as Feudal Japan. (Apparently Napoleon's story is saved for co-op, though.) And you want advice on how to use an avatar or what avatar to use? Because you don't have to use an avatar, if you don't want to. But in my case I often mistook people without an avatar for an anon, and I think that goes for others as well. -- 23:16, June 21, 2014 (UTC)

Affiliation request(s)
Hello. I'm admin for the Prince of Persia and I was wondering if you were at all interested in affiliating with said Wikia? We're currently attempting to revamp the Wikia to incorporate all relevant information for PoP and we're looking to connect with as many Ubisoft-related game wikis as possible. Would you be interested? If not, thank you for taking the time to hear me out.

Also, on the off chance that this is the improper place to ask, where exactly should I inquire to affiliate the next time? Lily Ford (talk) 02:58, June 26, 2014 (UTC)

I am alright with this affiliation request, especially since both franchises are made by Ubisoft. You should sent the same message to Vatsa1708 however, as he is my co-bureaucrat. -- 12:48, June 28, 2014 (UTC)

Page Creation
Hi, I was wondering if I should create a page for the Unidentified First Civilization Member featured in Brahman on this wiki because I don't if there is enough info about this character yet and I was guessing I should ask you before I get yelled at for creating an article stub for no reason. Thanks. Raghava  Shah  05:37, June 28, 2014 (UTC)

Not under that name, no. If we know her name (which is likely Durga), then we can create the page. -- 12:49, June 28, 2014 (UTC)

Sorry, this might sound like an overbearing request and you can do it whenever you have time, but can you make scans of the Princess, Durga, and Ranjit Singh. Thanks. Raghava  Shah  15:59, June 28, 2014 (UTC)

Not right now. My copy of Brahman, and the scanner, are at my other home. -- 16:10, June 28, 2014 (UTC)

no acces
can you scan the entire ac brahman for me ? or give me some links to download it's pages ? i can't buy it because i live in a country that has no relationship with world (IRAN) and i have no credit card like paypal or something else to buy online and nobody imports that comic books to my country :( thank you

I'm not going to scan each and every page as that would take up too much time and tear up my entire copy. If there are any links to download it, you can take a look yourself. Sorry to disappoint you, but I hope you understand that I won't do that. My copy is in Dutch anyway. -- 15:40, July 1, 2014 (UTC)

Oh I want english copy, ok thanks. at least tell me what happens to koohi-noor diamond, where is it's location now ?

As you can read on its page on this wiki, it was destroyed and shattered into small fragments. One of these fragments is in possession of Jot Soora, as it was put on the engagement ring he gave Monima Das. -- 21:08, July 1, 2014 (UTC)

If you drop your own attitude and don't call your fellow users 'cunts', I'll do something about it. -- 18:00, July 9, 2014 (UTC)


 * This isn't a 'fellow user'. In case you didn't figure it out from the username, the guy's sole purpose around here is to troll me. That said, I'd also like to mention Kaishiro has thrown a hissy fit and banned from the chat for no apparent reason. You can check the logs for that one. --Kainzorus Prime Walkie-talkie  00:04, July 10, 2014 (UTC)

I did not check the logs, I was there. He banned you for being a twat, justly. If Kai hadn't, Dark would have. You need to learn that just because you're a good editor you can't be a dick to anyone as you please. -- 07:34, July 10, 2014 (UTC)


 * Explain how is joking with Storm "being a twat". --Kainzorus Prime Walkie-talkie  09:53, July 10, 2014 (UTC)

Because you annoyed both Kaishiro and Dark with your jokes. Kai never bans anyone, so waving it away as a hissy fit doesn't really seem just. -- 10:38, July 10, 2014 (UTC)


 * Dark was there talking with me and Storm. He didn't say anything about being annoyed. And what happened to giving people a fair warning to stop, first? Going "You're banned lol" without any way to reason with that is abusive. But all that aside, answer me one question - how long, since I have no indication. --<font color="#7575DB" face="OCR A" size="3">Kainzorus Prime <font color="#4C99A6">Walkie-talkie  10:45, July 10, 2014 (UTC)

I'll let Kai answer that. -- 10:54, July 10, 2014 (UTC)

It has come from my experience that every time you leave the chat, no one has anything nice to say about how you interact with them. I read through the logs, and the amount of arrogance that pours from your mouth is just appalling. Sima is right, I don't ban anyone hardly EVER. Even if it wasn't me that banned you, DarkFeather would have as you can tell from this snippet: <@DarkFeather> That was earned. If you hadn't, I would have. -- As far as the duration of the ban? I've been asked by a few people not to remove it. I planned on removing it after 24 hours. Also, just in case you didn't know, you can view a list of the networks ban policies as well as our rules. -- Kaishiro  Message 14:24, July 10, 2014 (UTC)


 * I keep hearing how people are annoyed with me, this and that. What I find interesting, why does no long-term regular user come forward, and directly to me, with that, except for Sima. That said, real mature putting all the friendly faces when someone's in the chat, then turn on them the second they leave it. I looked at the rules you linked, and haven't broken any, unless you want to count "I'm annoyed with you" as user harassment. That said, if you want to continue this, go to my talk. --<font color="#7575DB" face="OCR A" size="3">Kainzorus Prime <font color="#4C99A6">Walkie-talkie  14:34, July 10, 2014 (UTC)


 * I wasn't there, but I read back through the logs (ZNC user benefit), and I can see exactly why you were banned. You joked about something specific, which I will not repeat.


 * Also Kain, I remember that I have said something before, but it's been a while since whatever that was happened and I don't know if it was on your talk page. However useful you are to the Wiki, the way you present yourself needs some serious self-analysis. You get irritable very easily, and you take it out on others frequently. So far, we've been very lenient on you, especially since you're adept at image-gathering and using Blender for character posing, and we'd rather not have to take interventionary action if you can improve on your attitude by yourself. Slate Vesper (talk) 14:56, July 10, 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks Slate. Now that someone actually came up and said what they think, I can take that into consideration and aim to improve. --<font color="#7575DB" face="OCR A" size="3">Kainzorus Prime <font color="#4C99A6">Walkie-talkie  15:06, July 10, 2014 (UTC)

Had a quick look but couldn't see this anywhere on the wiki, amazon have a special edition of Unity that includes a replica of Arno's pocket watch, details here

--Putowtin-<font color= "Red"> Light Love and Peace 22:08, July 9, 2014 (UTC)

That is pretty cool! But all too expensive for me now... -- 22:17, July 9, 2014 (UTC)


 * I've already pre-ordered it solely for the watch, and picked up the Guillotine Edition from Ubi.com. >:3 If anyone wants the game when I get it, I'll ship it out. Slate Vesper (talk) 10:22, July 10, 2014 (UTC)


 * For which platform, Slate? --<font color="#7575DB" face="OCR A" size="3">Kainzorus Prime <font color="#4C99A6">Walkie-talkie  13:57, July 10, 2014 (UTC)

 * Well, Nesty had laid claim to it, but generously passed it over to Crook. Going to leave a note on my user page for Oct 28. Slate Vesper (talk) 16:14, July 10, 2014 (UTC)


 * Couldn't help myself, decided this was the edition to go for, may not have as many clothing/ gun unlocks, but I love pocket watches! I'm gonna look dapper! Putowtin-<font color= "Red"> Light Love and Peace 11:52, July 12, 2014 (UTC)


 * I'm also really tempted by this Amazon special edition. The only issue that stops me is that it doesn't have as much DLC or other content in-game. But I certainly prefer the pocket watch above Arno's figurine or all the other extra's you get with the Guillotine Edition. Does anybody know if the extra DlC with that edition maybe comes with a season pass? -- Altaïr 09:41, August 1, 2014 (UTC)

Dishonored wiki affiliation
Hi Sima,

All right, making this request formally. Would you be willing to affiliate the AC wiki with the Dishonored wiki? Thanks!

-Molotov.cockroach (talk) 09:24, August 1, 2014 (UTC)

I would be willing to, yes. In vatsa's absence, I'd like to ask you to place this request on Nesty's wall as well, to see her response. -- 09:36, August 1, 2014 (UTC)


 * Sure thing. I just left the message on her wall. Thanks! -Molotov.cockroach (talk) 03:32, August 4, 2014 (UTC)


 * Nesty says she's all right with it, and I wanted to check with you one more time. Will that work? Thanks! -Molotov.cockroach (talk) 06:33, August 16, 2014 (UTC)

Yes, that will work. I'll get on it tomorrow, as I only just got home but I'm not in any proper capacity to do anything right now... -- 14:38, August 17, 2014 (UTC)

Forums
Hey Sima! I was just wondering whether there could be some changes to the forums?

Quite frankly, I have never really used them. It's not because I don't want to, but simply because they are impractical. I would like to refer to theMiddle-earth: Shadow of Mordor wiki (a wiki I use a lot) for a more practical way. The way this wiki uses forums is a lot more useful, as it negates the use for pointless blogs & allows more freedom to talk. It also provides a notification when someone posts on something you have also posted upon.

I would much prefer to use these to discuss details about ACU, & I think this would encourage others to do the same. You could still make your anouncements with blogs, but it would stop people from going off-topic, as they can talk somewhere else. Is there any chance of this being implemented?

Thanks. Outsider (talk) 18:36, August 1, 2014 (UTC)

That's Wikia's new Forum layout which we have not enabled on our wiki yet. I'll see what the other staffers think of it. -- 18:47, August 1, 2014 (UTC)

Ok. Thanks man. Outsider (talk) 22:43, August 1, 2014 (UTC)

Has a decision been made yet? Outsider (talk) 16:10, August 10, 2014 (UTC)

No. I'm working on it. -- 20:40, August 10, 2014 (UTC)

Alright. No worries, mate.

You should change your sig, by the way; it's a little hard to read. Outsider (talk) 22:58, August 10, 2014 (UTC)

Osiris
Where did Osiris appeared with green skin ? I have read the Accipiter volume, and he look like a normal human in it Maxattac (talk) 21:26, August 2, 2014 (UTC)

He is most often commonly portrayed like that in Egyptian mythology. It was more a joke, really. As a kid, I used to read a lot about Ancient Egypt and its gods. -- 21:27, August 2, 2014 (UTC)

If you are referring to ancient representations of Osiris that can be seen on the walls of temples, it means nothing. For exemple, depending on the country, Jesus is represented with Black, Brown, Blond hairs and the the tones of his skin varies as well. But if the encyclopedia state that all the gods of the antiquity pantheons are members of those who came before, I will close my mouth from now. Maxattac (talk) 21:36, August 2, 2014 (UTC)

Assassin's Creed: Pirates memories naming ("???" memories)
Hello, I have a question regarding the naming of a page I'm planing on creating. I'm currently going trough ACP and planning on transcribing the "Mystery delivery memories". However I ran into a problem. They're all named the same: "???". I already have the first transcribed but have no idea what to name the page. I could name it "???" but all the others have to have different names? I don't even know if I should be asking you directly or post it on the forums or something. I'm so confused. Zero-ELEC (talk) 23:21, August 2, 2014 (UTC)

We've run into this problem before, with the Citizen E memories in Liberation. We named them Citizen E (1), Citizen E (2) andsoforth. I figure a similar solution works here. -- 23:27, August 2, 2014 (UTC)

Two question-type-things
Sorry to bother you. Zero-ELEC (talk) 06:05, August 3, 2014 (UTC)
 * First, on the front page there is a broken link in Helping out under Community. It seems that the article about userboxes no longer exists.
 * Second, I'm thinking about creating a disambiguation page in ???. The thing is The Monk is referred to as "???" in-game, and since the "???" missions in Assassin's Creed: Pirates are also called that it might bring out confusion. But then I realize that this wouldn't really be a common occurrence so it might not be worth the effort. So I figured: "better ask Master Sima Yi before doing anything". So, yeah.

Link has been restored, and I think what you can deo is create "??? (disambiguation)", and list The Monk and all his missions under there. You can then place a Youmay template on the articles for the Monk and the ??? missions. Is that okay? -- 07:59, August 3, 2014 (UTC)

Yeah, that's great! I just wanted to make sure I wasn't creating a completely unnecessary article. Thanks. Zero-ELEC (talk) 08:36, August 3, 2014 (UTC)

Assassin's Creed IV - Multiplayer Data
Hello, sorry to bother you again but I'm currently working on transcribing the files from Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag's multiplayer over here. But I have a problem. I have no clue what to name the article. (It's still missing a few things, but it has enough content that it can go into mainspace, I think.) You see, the files I've transcribed are called secret files, though beyond those there are Character Files which also fall under Options and Data, but not Secret Files. So I have no idea what to name it. Data? Abstergo Data to go with Abstergo Story and Abstergo Files?

Again, sorry for bothering you this much. Thanks for the help!Zero-ELEC (talk) 23:42, August 3, 2014 (UTC)

Is there no official name given for it at all, anywhere? If not, you'll have to pick something that comes closest to it. (I am going to sleep now so it might be a while before I respond.) -- 23:44, August 3, 2014 (UTC)

They fall under Options and Data, so data would probably be the closest thing. I think, at least, I'm unfortunately doing this second hand trough YouTube videos showing the files since I don't have the game at hand (or at all, really.) Zero-ELEC (talk) 23:47, August 3, 2014 (UTC)

Then I would go for Abstergo Data. -- 23:49, August 3, 2014 (UTC)

Bot
Sima, could ask V to give you control over his bot, the next time you see him?

Signature (Ubi Forums)
Since I saw you on the forums the other day, I was wondering if you could tell me how to increase the size of my signature image? I uploaded it & it is really small.

Outsider (talk) 01:12, August 6, 2014 (UTC)

I've sorted it now. I just uploaded it on the wiki & then copied the image over. Outsider (talk) 01:53, August 6, 2014 (UTC)

Staff rights
Hey, Sima, I don't mean to sound impatient, but did you remember to update my user rights when I was given a staff position? I only ask because I've noticed that Crook and Alien have reverted edits before, whereas I can't. Thanks. -- 20:49, August 6, 2014 (UTC)

Already done. By that I mean I just did before you sent me this message. -- 20:49, August 6, 2014 (UTC)

OOU Navboxes
Hello, sorry to bother you about about this topic again but I'm half asleep and just thought of a way to go about the whole navbox thing: what if, in addition to the In-Universe navboxes there were also an additional "Media" template with OOU navboxes inside. This one could work in a way similar to the Era template where you write the. So it could work like that, making it so that the pages would be uncluttered by the OOU stuff, while at the same time retaining the by-media navigation. Although, now that I think of it, could that be done with MediaWiki? I know you can hide navboxes inside another box with a Show/Hide button, and I'm sure one can display things like that trough options, so I'm sure it's possible.

Anyways, again sorry to bother you and thank you for your patience. I'm going to go to sleep now and hopefully when I wake up tomorrow what I just wrote will still make sense and won't just be gibberish. -- Zero-ELEC (talk) 08:27, August 7, 2014 (UTC)

Yes, that can be done. But will you please wait until I have the examples of new IU navboxes ready? They'll be nearly identical to what we have now. -- 08:30, August 7, 2014 (UTC)

Sorry, sorry. Zero-ELEC (talk) 08:43, August 7, 2014 (UTC)

Paintings
With all the paintings of religious figures from the series, I was thinking about making a gallery page for Aphrodite, amongst others. Wikipedia, for instance, frequently uses paintings on articles about deities. Do you support this idea?--Bovkaffe (talk) 16:25, August 7, 2014 (UTC)

I am not against it, as long as you note that they're paintings. -- 16:28, August 7, 2014 (UTC)

Rogue = RO or RG?
First, I'd like to apologise for pestering you so much these past days and for making a mess of the Upload log. (For some reason the image I uploaded didn't want to update.) Second, I'd want to ask a question: I went and uploaded and updated the Era template with an Assassin's Creed: Rogue Era Icon, however I don't know if the Icon should should be RO or RG. I already made both and want to know which is better. I've uploaded them here (In addition to the empty Game template.) Also I kinda jumped the gun and uploaded one before thinking of asking, sorry. So, my question is, which one is better? Do I have to replace the one that's there right now with the other?

Again, sorry for bothering you so much. -- Zero-ELEC (talk) 23:19, August 7, 2014 (UTC)

I'd go with RG. --<font color="#7575DB" face="OCR A" size="4">Kainzorus Prime <font color="#7575DB" size="6">⚜  <font color="#4C99A6">Walkie-talkie  23:30, August 7, 2014 (UTC)


 * Seconded. "RO" seems a bit awkward for some reason, so I'd go with "RG" as well. 06:53, August 8, 2014 (UTC)

Well. I tried to change it but once again, for some reason I can't manage to change the image from one to the other, even though I double checked that I chose the right one. MediaWiki doesn't like me. I don't even know if it's a display issue on my part or what. (I even cleared my cache.)-- Zero-ELEC (talk) 23:39, August 7, 2014 (UTC)

Yes, I think we've pretty much settled on RG already. It sometimes may take a while before Wikia has fully processed a new image of the same name. Alternatively I can delete the old versions. -- 07:20, August 8, 2014 (UTC)

Can people see the image as RG? I still see it as RO even though I changed it and cleared my cache (even though my when looking at it trough my phone's browser it displays as RG.) -- Zero-ELEC (talk) 17:10, August 8, 2014 (UTC)

Looking through the file history, it seems you uploaded it as RO two times. -- 17:13, August 8, 2014 (UTC)

The problem is I don't have the RO file anymore and I triple checked the version I uploaded was the correct one. Even then looking at the image's history it shows that the version I just replaced did have RG. And when looking at the file with another browser the history says no new versions were uploaded. I'm so confused. -- Zero-ELEC (talk) 17:22, August 8, 2014 (UTC)

Try uploading it under a different name? -- 17:27, August 8, 2014 (UTC)

That worked. I'm going to change the links to that image. Thanks! -- Zero-ELEC (talk) 17:29, August 8, 2014 (UTC)

sequel
I'm a bit confused what the definition of a sequel is here. I just saw that Rogue is a sequel to Black Flag. I saw sequels as games that continued the present day story, because as proven with BF you can go back in time in the animus. But BF is still a sequel to ACIII, right? Or is ACIII a sequel to BF since the story in the past in ACIII takes place after BF. Is it defined by when the game was created, rather than when the story (past or present) takes place. -- Altaïr 23:56, August 7, 2014 (UTC)

Yes, the games are present day stories in which you relive time periods from the past. So AC4 is a sequel to AC3, as it moves forward in the modern day. -- 07:21, August 8, 2014 (UTC)

You'd better ask the person that added it. -- 14:08, August 8, 2014 (UTC)

But we don't yet know if Rogue advances the modern plot or not. So I'd remove mentions of prequel/sequel for the moment. --<font color="#7575DB" face="OCR A" size="4">Kainzorus Prime <font color="#7575DB" size="6">⚜  <font color="#4C99A6">Walkie-talkie  14:34, August 8, 2014 (UTC)

Torres
How did you find out that "Ever A Splinter" takes place on 1 September?Bovkaffe (talk) 21:25, August 8, 2014 (UTC)

I went a bit into speculative territory there, I'll admit. While AC and the English entry for Torres on Wikipedia say that Torres was born in 1645 and died in 1722, the source given for those dates actually says he was born in 1649 and died on 1 September 1725. Both the source and Wikipedia say he was born in Seville and died in Havana. Upon further inspection, other language entries for Torres on Wikipedia lists the dates given in the actual source.

According to the Black Flag novel, he must have died between 10 February (Roberts' death) and October 1722 (Jenny's arrival in Great Inague). Considering that "Ever a Splinter" is the memory right before "The End", it falls in place. -- 21:32, August 8, 2014 (UTC)
