Most of the images "derped" before due to the server move from my old server to Tacopills. So thanks for reuploading and fixing the images. -- Eliwood  (My Talk Page) (My Contributions) 13:39, 12 February 2012 (EST)

Thank you, + request

Thanks for all your help! Your help is greatly appreciated, especially when a lot of our active editors have been busy with personal lifey things interfering with wiki work. I really do appreciate your contributions.

I have a request - can you cite sources for the name etymology? It's important to do so. Thank you! Seritinajii 21:14, 14 February 2012 (EST)

Suggestion

I know how to fix the user creation log spam problem (or partially). If you set it so is required that you must type in an e-mail address in order to create an account, many less spam accounts will be created. Think about it; you'll get much less spam accounts if you do. --34Krom43 (talk) 16:29, 25 June 2012 (EDT)

Regarding permissions on this Wiki.

Exactly what are the criterion for being able to create articles in either the mainspace or the userspace? I'd like to create an article on Archetypes, and yet I'm still unable to create either the page or a draft on my userspace.

I'm not an admin so I'm really not the right person to ask, but anyway: I think you need to be classified as an "autoconfirmed user" to be able to create pages. You automatically get autoconfirmed after hitting a certain number of edits; I'm not sure what the number is (probably between 10-30) or whether or not they all have to be major edits. Again, you should probably go ask someone who knows what they're talking about. --some idiot (talk) 01:17, 17 March 2013 (MDT)

Page, and quote additions?

I was thinking off adding these quotes to the Kinbois, and Gandolf Pages?

“	That sorceror Sandima is behind all of this, isn’t he… You, Gandolf and Kinbois have trusted him far too much. He has deceived all of you!	”	— Jamke on Kinbois and Gandolf, in Chapter 1 of Genealogy of the Holy War.

“	“The king of this country is very kind. He would’ve been the last person to wage a war. That sorcerer, Sandima, is behind all of this. Everything began going downhill the moment he showed up. Aside from the youngest prince, Jamka, Sandima has them all wrapped around his finger. Please, I beg of you… save our kingdom!”	”	— A Verdane villager on the Royal Family, in Chapter 1 of Genealogy of the Holy War.

“	“The amiable monarch succeeded in maintaining the peace with Grandbell, while pacifying his zealous sons. However, that very peace was ultimately violated by none other than King Batou.”	”	— The narration on the Royal Family, in Chapter 1 of Genealogy of the Holy War.

Would you be ok with it? Maybe you can put them in better words then I? Another thing is I noticed in the latest translation, Hilda says her "father in Law" rather then "Father", so maybe we can change her page a bit? Emperor Hardin (talk) 21:00, 20 October 2015 (UTC)

You really don't have to check every single thing by me. I'm nobody. What I think of these edits doesn't matter at all. --PA (talk) 01:23, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

Ok, just you seemed to be good at writing the character pages, so I wanted to make sure they mesh.

Additions to the Brigand, and Barbarian Class page

I made some additions to the Brigand page, and the Barbarian page. Maybe you can tell me what you think, or if there's anything that needs to be changed? Emperor Hardin (talk) 00:17, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

See above re: me being nobody. As far as the FE12 barbarian thing goes, though, do you have any proof on the matter? Maybe an LP somewhere confirming it happens by doing it themselves, or video footage? Because this is the first I've heard about it anywhere. --PA (talk) 01:23, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

Its listed on the Wikia, and I've done it myself by using action replay codes in New Mystery emulation. Once I get permission to upload images, I can show the promotion. This also explains why many Barbarians are replaced by Berserkers in the hardest difficulties in the game. Emperor Hardin (talk) 01:52, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

Ah okay, good enough for me. I think the important part would be to note what the promotion stat boosts are and get them listed on the promotion page, then throw together an unused content page for FE12 that notes that it happens. (That said, I wouldn't take the wikia as evidence since they are currently making a laughably obvious fake claim about a cut Ike/Mia support. Everything else evidencing it is fine though, of course.) --PA (talk) 02:13, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

Sure, I'll work on the promotion bonuses soon. I've seen it myself, don't worry, I'll have to do something about that Ike/Mia support claim, LOL! Speaking of unused Soldiers, actually have plenty of playable data in FE3, moreso then the other unplayable classes! Emperor Hardin (talk) 02:20, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

Barbarian promotion gains in New Mystery are +6HP, +2STR, +1Skill, +1Speed, +2 defense, and +1 movement. Checking it, this is the same promotion gains Pirates get when they become Berserkers. I took a screenshot of a Enemy Sand Clan Barbarian in Chapter 11, Anri's Way Promoting. When I get permission to upload, I'll show you it. Emperor Hardin (talk) 08:45, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

File:Ss fe12 barbarian promotion.png Got it, should I put the image in the article? Emperor Hardin (talk) 01:39, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

Bam. --PA (talk) 02:09, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

Thank you very much! I'm not totally sure, but I think the promotion might be used to some extent behind the scenes like Boss, and Enemy Class growths? I'll work on other unused images, as well as the unused content pages! Emperor Hardin (talk) 02:33, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

So I got another image set involving the Brigand promotion in FE8 if you want? Also to explain the Axe Fighter, thing, the Fighter class is called Axe fighter in FE4 through Fe, plus Fates. Also that Bandit in Sacred Stones blurs the line between Generic, and unique boss character: his portrait shows up in gameplay, he even has a chibi portrait icon, his stats are higher, and he has a set affinity(Thunder). Maybe he should get a page like the Gra Captain? Emperor Hardin (talk) 09:15, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

Image Request

I was thinking in response to you being open for image requests, I was thinking the following images would be good in order of importance:

• A Barbarian battle sprite from FE4.
• A Mountain Thief battle sprite from FE4.
• A Enemy Berserker from the DS Games to go with the Barbarian Class change images.
• A Pirate Battle sprite from FE4
• A Bandit Map graphic from FE10.

Emperor Hardin (talk) 01:00, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

I only do FE9/10 image requests, because unlike every other game, those are something not everyone has the equipment to do. Cropping out FE4/5 sprites isn't that hard, and FE12's sprites are already ripped over here. With the bandit map graphic, I can't do map images yet because I don't know how User:Aria der Donau went about getting them originally. --PA (talk) 01:23, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

No problem at all. Can you do FE9 Map Graphics? If not there's other FE9, and FE10 image suggestions if you're open. Emperor Hardin (talk) 01:26, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

Nope. It might be somewhat easier to do, but I'm not sure about those either. Battle or map screenshots that don't need editing like map graphics do are fair game, though. --PA (talk) 01:42, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

No problem. I was thinking you could get a picture of the Anti Laguz weapons, as well as battle screenshots of Tiger, Cat, Hawk, and Raven Laguz. Generics will do. Emperor Hardin (talk) 01:52, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

I should be able to bowl over the slayer weapons pretty quickly. Class images will be a bit slower coming because I'm really picky about making sure the end result doesn't look like ass, but not longer than a week. --PA (talk) 02:13, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

Sounds great. The Heavy weapons in RD Like Greatlances, and PoleAxes would be good to get too. Emperor Hardin (talk) 02:20, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

Looking good, I remember the LaguzSlayer's appearance pretty well. Kinda funny that only the Laguz Bow doesn't look sinister. Emperor Hardin (talk) 05:02, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

I was thinking maybe you could get an image of a Bandit in Path of Radiance's battle animations? You can probably get a good screen by promoting one, as there's close ups during the class change scene. The LParchive gives the Recruit enemy unit AR code. Emperor Hardin (talk) 09:50, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

I'm a little embarassed to ask this, but

Do you think you could help me learn how to cite/ref properly on this wiki format. You can kinda see I messed up on the Sternlin, and Kinbois character pages. Emperor Hardin (talk) 07:31, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Here's the mistake you made with Sternlin:

<ref>{{Cite|The Sable Order fought valiantly to keep Marth's army from reaching Chiasmir, but in the end Grust's knights buckled}}|chapter 19, Manakete Princess|Shadow Dragon</ref>

The template exploded because you accidentally put the closing }} brackets halfway through the template. I can sort of see how that mistake could happen - backspace out the the template's contents, then sort of forget about it when adding the speaker and game definitions. Unlike the Kinbois examples, it's otherwise just about right. To speed things along, here have a corrected ref string:

<ref>{{Cite|The Sable Order fought valiantly to keep Marth's army from reaching Chiasmir, but in the end Grust's knights buckled.|Opening narration of [[Manakete Princess|Chapter 19]]|Shadow Dragon}}</ref>

Mediocre to Healer

Not sure if this is a dumb question, but why was it moved? It's internally called mediocre rod. PikaSamus (talk) 03:56, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

I can't think of a 100% watertight reason for it, but I figure it makes more sense in that if people are going to be looking up information on FE12 weapons, these days they're almost certainly coming from the fan translation and looking it up by the name "Healer", not "Mediocre". Sure, that's why redirects exist, but still. Internal names are interesting information to have, but when they go with obviously broken names like "WOLLEN", "FLYCHATCHER", or "TBOXKEY" there's only so much significance you can place upon them (and "MEDIOCRE" isn't exactly a 1:1 match with its actual name in Japanese either). --PA (talk) 04:32, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

More image suggestions

I was thinking, do you think you could images for the map graphics of classes like Fighter, Soldier, Mage, and basically all the iconic recurring classes and their promoted forms from Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn? I was thinking of using them for the promotion tables. Emperor Hardin (talk) 05:27, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

Those aren't likely to happen any time soon. I'd like to do it at some point but it's going to take a fair bit of experimentation to get looking vaguely decent, and FE10's are going to be even harder to do than 9's. --PA (talk) 11:28, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
