One more road block for the time being

Tried to add files for the maps of Con Cave & Colossus, but neither of them show a picture. Antiyonder (talk) 15:14, 16 October 2013 (CDT)

Ok, they apparently do show up if you don't alter them, but leaving them as being pretty big. I don't know, since Con Cave is fairly short, text wise, I edited the map in. If you think it's unpresentable as is, feel free to revert. I'll be gone for the rest of the evening. Antiyonder (talk) 17:35, 16 October 2013 (CDT)
It work. And after I've relaxed a little more, I'm going to work on adding maps to each dungeon article. That said, in case I need some pics not found on Woodus, are there any other sites we have to okay to use images from? Antiyonder (talk) 17:35, 17 October 2013 (CDT)
Ok, so I can use images from the other sites then? Antiyonder (talk) 00:51, 18 October 2013 (CDT)

Check up on location name

Is the Endor Teleportal referring to both the Shrine East of the Desert Bazaar and the Endor Shrine on the other side of the river, or just the latter? Antiyonder (talk) 04:06, 22 October 2013 (CDT)

Then would it be alright to just have an article titled Teleportal between Zamoksva/Endor or Zamoksva/Endor Teleportal? Antiyonder (talk) 14:29, 22 October 2013 (CDT)

Another possible spambot

Comment on the user page just seems nonsensical. Antiyonder (talk) 21:07, 22 October 2013 (CDT)

Spambot, with two non-DQ pages. Antiyonder (talk) 22:58, 5 November 2013 (CST)

Two more. Linking to their talkpages:

Question

I've been talking with the site owner (http://www.realmofdarkness.net/dq/) about using his images here when appropriate, and he looks to be okay with it. But he also asked me:

"Are you able to add this site as your affiliates on the

left menu tab that appears on all pages?" Also as he I and I both noticed, Zenithia.com seems to be down. Antiyonder (talk) 14:54, 23 October 2013 (CDT)

I'm just going to post my new question here since the title of this isn't specific. Now I haven't been able to locate any maps of the town of Mamon individually. Only one I found is part of the Mamon Mine map, so I was wondering if merging MM with Mamon is okay? Antiyonder (talk) 15:16, 28 October 2013 (CDT)

So what's the policy when using something from the Dragon Quest Wikia? Just include the notice at the bottom of the page? I ask because it seems to be the only page that I found a good image of Maria: http://dragonquest.wikia.com/wiki/Maria

If anything, would I need to get permission from the uploader of that image? Cause it looks like he was banned. Antiyonder (talk) 22:39, 6 November 2013 (CST)

Noted

Now just for further clarity, all files or multiple files of a subject? Antiyonder (talk) 13:12, 24 October 2013 (CDT)

DQVC

The page needs to be updated with the info from the main page and I would normally do this myself (I updated it on the last news update) but instead of having a PC like last time I have a 3ds which will not let me edit pages that large so mainly I here to ask/let you know about updating it with the new info and undo all the changes I made saying that this was available instead of is available. Thanks.162.72.211.120 01:54, 10 November 2013 (CST)

Dragon Quest Wiki

Hello. My name is Kingemocut, and I'm one of the new admins for the older wikia you used to be a admin on. I was wondering if, by any chance, you would like to work together as a collective, as I know a lot of pages on this wiki use content from the Wikia, and I'm sure somewhere we have some stuff from your wiki.

you don't have to do so if you don't want to, but it'd be nice to link together our pool of collective users, and make both the wiki's as complete as possible. There's a lot of pages on the wikia (over 1000) that have under 100kb, or only a little text and/or an image, so it would help us out, and i noticed that your information about Farebury Region has less than ours too, and no information about the town itself, so we could help you out too.

If you do not wish to join us again, then it's ok, but just ponder this request a little. It might just help us both out, and you never know, you might like the new newton layout. :) :P

Nadiria or...?

After my recent edit to Nadiria, I just realized the name was never used in Dragon Quest VI, but rather it was called the Dread Realm throughout the game.

That said, do you think it's close enough to merit staying on the page, or should I just create a page for Dread Realm? Antiyonder (talk) 16:42, 14 January 2014 (CST)

Have you played DQ VIII yet?

You mentioned on your profile that you were going to play Dragon Quest VIII. Have you completed the game by chance? Just asking as I wanted to ask for some advice regarding some spoiler tags, but I'll wait until you respond. Antiyonder (talk) 00:10, 16 March 2014 (CDT)

Trying to get an image to show

Yeah, I have both an image and box for the Cursed belt on the article. I tried to insert the image in that box (Tried File: and Image: too), but when I preview it, the image doesn't show. Antiyonder (talk) 03:49, 28 March 2014 (CDT)

Another imagine related problem

http://dragon-quest.org/wiki/File:DQ_I_NES_Fighter%27s_ring.png

Using that page as an example, these pages show up completely blank now. I thought it was my dad's computer at first, but even my laptop has problems showing these file pages. Antiyonder (talk) 01:32, 3 April 2014 (CDT)

Apostrophes I don't think have anything to do with it. The Cursed belt pic for example didn't show up when I went to the page. Infact, yesterday I clicked on the pic for Trodain castle, and it showed, but now it's a no show. Antiyonder (talk) 21:34, 15 April 2014 (CDT)

SEIWA

Hi, I am TheFifteenthMember, an editor from the KHWiki. In our recent roundtable meeting, we agreed that SEIWA's status is practically dead and inactive so we proposed that the five members of SEIWA disband and continue on as independent sites. Former SEIWA members can then be linked to each other as affiliates. We'd like to know the Dragon Quest Wiki's thoughts on the matter; do you agree with this plan?

Apologies for dumping this on your talk page. I wasn't sure where to post. TheFifteenthMember (talk) 13:29, 12 September 2014 (CDT)

Never mind, I've found a more fitting place to discuss the matter. The talk page of the main page has had previous SEIWA discussions so there will do. TheFifteenthMember (talk) 18:23, 13 September 2014 (CDT)


Wanna go ahead and ban this kid?

50.136.149.237 isn't exactly subtle or intelligent about his vandalism, and the last thing we need is an autist thinking he has free range. (Follower of Light (talk) 22:34, 13 October 2014 (CDT))

Unable to Create an Account

Hi, I've been trying to create an account here on the Dragon Quest wiki and i keep getting a: permission denied error, stating only an admin can create the account. This really sucks as i want to contribute.

I want to create one too 162.204.251.55 11:47, 4 December 2014 (CST)

Leave a message here with your desired username and an email address...or email me at FlyingRagnar(AT)dragon-quest.org with your desired username and I will get you setup. --FlyingRagnar (talk) 01:20, 6 December 2014 (CST)

Phone releases

Could you please update the main page to address the new releases on smart phones? They may be older titles with new paint, but it is the first time the original trilogy has been given the Plus-Alpha treatment. (Follower of Light (talk) 17:59, 4 December 2014 (CST))

German Dragon Quest-Wiki

Hi, I am an Admin from the german DQ-Wiki. Our Wiki ist new, which startet yesterday. I would like to add some interwiki links :)

Here is our german wiki.

By the way, I want to Log in => herfel123@ovi.com

Thanks! --109.91.34.139 10:12, 3 February 2015 (CST)

Hey Ragnar, is there anyway to go about this or has it been done already? (Follower of Light (talk) 07:47, 23 April 2015 (CDT))

Postmaster

good job keep up this work. my bookmarks your blog, i might change tendayacaidetox.net my homepage it!

New User

Hello there. I'm a very active mediawiki user who has recently had his love for DQ reignited; I would love to join the community here and help where possible. Thank you for reading; you can contact me at kaschimmel207@gmail.com or wsewolod207@mail.ru (Preferably the former).

Heads up concerning some Dragon Quest VI edits I'll be making.

I'm going to be working to alter the references to the Phantom World and Real World by as a GameFAQ poster suggestion, renaming them the Upper World and Lower World. Names are descriptive, while covering spoilers for players who have yet to defeat Murdaw. I might even rename the articles, while still making use of the official names through redirect.

New NIWA Wiki

Inkipedia has been inducted into NIWA. I'll upload the favicon for you. Also, the NIWA template on the Main Page shouldn't be in the right column, it should be on the bottom because it looks a bit crammed right now. Thanks! --Starphoria (C·E) 10:23, 4 July 2015 (CDT)

Wiki design

Hi FlyingRagnar,

My name is KidProdigy, I've created an account IceKidd for whatever reasons, I've done the Nintendo 3DS page on this wiki. But anyways, I'm also quite skilled with creating templates, and creating original designs and I was wondering to do it the same for this wiki. I have high respect for your work, and ask you for permission to change the layout of the wiki as well the main page. If you disagree to that, I understand, its your wiki after all. You can see some of my work at Wikia, to have an idea what I actually mean and such.

I thank you for your time.

IceKidd (Local Userpage ⁝ Local Talk) 08:33, 14 September 2015 (CDT)

Thank you for responding to my request. Well actually, I would like to revamp the entire wiki to give it more a look like a real Dragon Quest Wiki. I know that you and every contributors that are contributed to the wiki have done their best, but I would give you to chance to make me create a brand new wiki. Probably it is much asked with a task like this.
What I want to do with the main page leaving the "Join the Quest" and "Dragon Quest News" section. Many of it actually needs an administrator to create something functional, so I can give you the codes so that you can add them. I will create a seperate sandbox of the main page and I will send the link to you so that you can look at it.
The rest is just the overal wiki. I would like to change the templates as well as the entire wiki layout (all of it if you agree with it). And that's quite it. Hopefully you understand the project and I really want to make this wiki a better place for everybody.
I thank you for your time.

I've created a first step layout for the main page which you can look here. Hope you like the it, it is not fully completed yet, but this s an idea where I am heading to. IceKidd (Local Userpage ⁝ Local Talk) 15:47, 19 September 2015 (CDT)
Hi, I've designed a new Main Page for the wiki. Hopefully it will be appreciated. IceKidd (Local Userpage ⁝ Local Talk) 05:52, 21 September 2015 (CDT)
That's great to hear! Thanks for liking the design. Oh, I have also something to ask you about user registration. I've discovered that you can change the questions of the captcha so there will be no spam bots registrating at the wiki, which the users can registrate an account freely. I've tested it on a wiki I used to run, I can give you the code so you can add it. It helps a lot, even if you would like to see more registrated users than unregistered users contributing to your wiki. IceKidd (Local Userpage ⁝ Local Talk) 15:52, 21 September 2015 (CDT)
