:We're aware of the Choose Your Legends names, but we've chosen to instead wait for those characters to appear in an actual game under those names before we move any articles. I think our stance is justified because of the handful of names that have been changed on the poll site since it was first posted (e.g. Iuchar/Iucharba), and the names which were used on the poll site, but ended up being changed once they were mentioned or appeared in Heroes itself (e.g. Thite appearing on the poll website, but being changed to Thea when she was mentioned by Shanna in Heroes itself). I think issues like this are reason enough to doubt the accuracy of the Choose Your Legends site, so for now, we're sticking with what we currently have. --[[User:Moydow|<span style="color: green;">Moy</span><span style="color: orange;">dow</span>]] ([[User talk:Moydow|Support]]) 22:00, 24 May 2017 (UTC)

Good morning!

Just wanted to say hello. I'm unable to use Skype at the moment but I'm quite glad to be seeing you around as an active user. Hopefully I can be more active sometime soon?? Seritinajii (talk) 15:23, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

Alright, happy to help out. Hope to see you back soon. --Moydow (Support) 15:30, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

batch text replace request

as per the discussion here, quickly requesting another text replace run: "Seisen no Keifu" -> "Genealogy of the Holy War". i'll be moving the Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War page shortly so this seems in order. thanks! --some idiot (talk) 03:50, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

Alright, I'll get that done straight away. --Moydow (Support) 08:18, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

Some dude messing up pages and advertising some computer site

See recent edits. Please get rid of them. (Posting here too because apparently the other user I posted to is inactive.... L95 (talk) 00:20, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

Okay, I think I got everything. Thanks. --Moydow (Support) 00:53, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

Sorry to pester you like this...

But a blacklist issue has crept up that's keeping Robin's Manuscript currently red. I've gone ahead and created the article at an alternate location (User:Shiningpikablu252/Robin's tome), meaning there's content at the ready when the correct name is ready to become blue... --Shiningpikablu252

Moved. --Moydow (Support) 17:27, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

Hello!

Hello, I'm new to the community and was wondering if I could be added to the Skype group? My skype username is dominik.supa (I have a picture of Saturn for avatar) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 土星の秋と (talkcontribs). Remember to always sign your talk page comments with ~~~~!

CAPTCHA's busted...

Not sure if it's limited to Chromebooks (I've been reduced to having to use one since losing my workhorse tower), but the CAPTCHA is somehow not working. I intended to include a reference to the Serenes news story on the Heimler errata at the end of the trivia piece from the outset of article creation, but errors relating to the CAPTCHA prevented me from doing so (nothing came up in the area where the CAPTCHA should have been). Is there somehow a way this can be fixed? Thanks. --Shiningpikablu252 (talk) 03:02, 9 September 2015 (UTC) EDIT: Nevermind, after applying the Chromebook update, the CAPTCHA worked...--Shiningpikablu252 (talk) 03:04, 9 September 2015 (UTC)

Shura (birthright)

Just thought i'd help the page by letting you know that as well as Yukimura, Shura joins up with your group after beating chapter 22 in birthright path (though with Yukimura you also have to come back to your castle after finishing a battle (can usescout and battle whatever appears), and they both only have support with main character.). Corinna (talk) 17:47, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

We've already got the info on the page, but thanks anyway! If you notice anything else you want to add, you're welcome to go ahead and add the info yourself. --Moydow (Support) 10:49, 31 March 2016 (UTC)

Probably need a stronger CAPCHA

The CAPCHA is very weak on this Wiki, most people could figure it out, including unwanted people, so can you make a stronger CAPCHA? TabuuandRobin (talk) 21:31, 1 April 2016 (UTC)

Captchas don't have anything to do with blocking out actual people. The entire point of a captcha is validating that the editor is a human and not a bot. There's no such thing as a captcha that a human can't figure out. --PA (talk) 23:01, 1 April 2016 (UTC)

Nintendo UK press site

Out of curiosity, I was wondering if you could point me in the direction of the press kit that this latest batch of FE14 images is coming from. I tried to locate it but have had no luck. --PA (talk) 08:22, 3 May 2016 (UTC)

http://assetslibrary.nintendo.co.uk/
You need to apply for an account, and have it verified, before you can access it. It's pretty hit-or-miss as to whether you'll get in - my first two applications were refused, but the third one (despite using the same details) was given access. --Moydow (Support) 08:35, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
Excellent, thanks. --PA (talk) 08:52, 3 May 2016 (UTC)

A old account

I used to go by TabuuandRobin, but I forgot the password, without an email, so I created this one, so can you block my old one? RoyFan101 (talk) 08:13, 22 May 2016 (UTC)

Done. --Moydow (Support) 09:25, 22 May 2016 (UTC)

No mail was sended

Hello there. I am new here. I want to confirm my email adress (and my account) but I received no emails within a hour. Keep pressing the "send mail again" doesn't help me either. Is something wrong? Seliph (talk) 02:27, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

No need to answer. The mail was treaded like spam and I found it. Thats strange... Seliph (talk) 09:40, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
Why am I not allowed to create page? Every time I want to creat a page I get "Permission error". Seliph (talk) 09:43, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
You need autoconfirmed status in order to create articles (this is a measure to guard against automated spam). There's some editing quotas that have to be met before one can gain autoconfirmed status--last I checked, 10 edits and 4 days wait...--Shiningpikablu252 (talk) 12:24, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
- Fire Emblem Wiki:Users. Well, four days are over and still, I can't creat pages. This page states that the user need 50 edits and must been active for at least 30 days. I'm a little confused. Why 30 days? Until then I'm editing at all and lost my patience. ): Sorry ~ Seliph (talk) 23:35, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

Text replace request

May you change the FE13 categories to not have a colon (to match the page title)? I started doing it myself, but FE13 has way too much stuff in it. PikaSamus (talk) 01:51, 11 June 2016 (UTC)

618 pages... that'll take a while to process, even via text replace. Some of the category pages might need to be changed manually, since normally category pages can't actually be moved. Will just have to check what's left over after the text replace finishes up. --Moydow (Support) 18:28, 11 June 2016 (UTC)

MediaWiki:Uploadtext

On MediaWiki:Uploadtext, there is a line about MultipleUpload, but FEWiki does not have that extension. That line should be removed. PikɑSɑmus (talk) 18:24, 13 July 2016 (UTC)

Done. We used to have it years ago, but it hasn't been updated in a long time and is marked as "unmaintained", so we had to remove it. --Moydow (Support) 19:04, 13 July 2016 (UTC)

Tabs are a bit buggy...

I've noticed something up with the tabs since the software upgrade, and I don't think it's browser-specific. I can't seem to switch tabs away from the default (usually the first, although clusters can be rigged to have different defaults) no matter the page's load-percent state. Got any fine-toothed combs to see what can be done? Thanks. --Shiningpikablu252 (talk) 18:46, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

They should be working as normal now. --Moydow (Support) 19:03, 6 January 2017 (UTC)

Something tells me we might need to...

...clean the rubbish bin. Given the rash of names shown on the Fire Emblem Heroes polls, and the fact that quite a few of them may need to have their related images moved to filename positions currently in the rubbish bin (especially if they get used in Heroes itself), I'd wager it's better to clean the rubbish bin now so we're ready to make the necessary updates...--Shiningpikablu252 (talk) 02:16, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

Special maps in Heroes

Should we have pages for special maps as well, or are they not neccessary? Thing is, they're only available for a limited amount of time like Narcian is... and the Hero Battles for each day. --Breakin' Benny (talk) 15:24, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

I think we can cover the major ones like Narcian's, but I don't think it's as important to do the minor ones for characters that can be summoned normally. I think it might be better to group them all into one page, rather than individual pages (a bit like how we put all the trial maps of FE6/9 into one page: List of Trial Maps in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance), since there's no story or anything else to them. --Moydow (Support) 20:49, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

Skype...

Please add me on the Fire Emblem Wiki Skype chat. My name is... <redacted>. For safety of my own privacy please delete this message and its revisions. I hope you can understand. Thanks in regards. seliphfanセリス (talk) 18:47, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

I'll need to add you as a contact first, is that okay? --Moydow (Support) 21:39, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
Yeah, sure. seliphfanセリス (talk) 23:13, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

Existing classes in Fire Emblem Heroes redirection

I have noticed that many of the classes in Heroes have simple names owing to their weaponry, like the Sword Fighter or Lance/Sword/Axe Flier. What do you say about redirecting Sword Fighter and Lance Flier? I know the former is strange because it's for both Myrmidons and Mercenaries, but it's closest to the Japanese name for Myrmidon (Swordfighter), while internally, the Fliers are considered Pegasus Knights. Breakin' Benny (talk) 12:06, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

At the moment, I'm not entirely certain they can be counted as classes... there are no references to them being classes anywhere in the files (if they were intended programmatically as classes, one might expect to find a "class" file in the SRPG folder, where all the other stats are defined), and from a design standpoint, units are far too distinct from each other, too individual, in terms of skill sets and the purpose they serve, even if they are both, for example, mounted on pegasi and wielding swords. All there is for the generic enemies is just the art and help text. What would we put on these pages pertaining to Heroes data, in the absence of any sort of stats? I'm not even sure we have enough to create any sort of article on them. So for now, I think we should hold off on anything like that. --Moydow (Support) 17:03, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

Echoes portraits

Do you plan to upload all boss portraits and add them to the character pages? Emperor Hardin (talk) 02:16, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

They're all uploaded, except for a small handful of generic portraits I missed; I'll get to those tomorrow. I'll add them to the characters' pages whenever I get around to them, I guess. There are other things to do as well, like character stats and such, so I think it would be more efficient to add the portraits and stats in the same edit, rather than running around each page and adding portraits, only to go back later for the stats. --Moydow (Support) 02:42, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

Discussing it on Serenes forums, we're missing the Shizas portrait, not the similarly named Dread Fighter, Saizo/Scizor, Shizas is the the Gold Knight. Emperor Hardin (talk) 02:52, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

I haven't been following what's going on on the Serenes Forest forums much at all, really. I've been mostly working on ripping the files from the game myself, since a lot of the portrait downloads I found scattered around the internet proved incomplete. Anyway, I just checked again myself, and it doesn't seem like Shizas is anywhere to be found. I don't want to say for certain until somebody reaches that point in the game, but it seems like he might have been cut. --Moydow (Support) 04:45, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

That'd be very surprising if he was cut as every other minor boss is present, including the characters without portraits. Wanna add that to his page, then? Emperor Hardin (talk) 05:03, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

I guess, since it doesn't appear as if he has any data in the game, or at least nothing I can find. --Moydow (Support) 05:13, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

Poor Shizas, they need a DLC chapter, Shizas strikes back, the revenge of the forgotten boss!" Emperor Hardin (talk) 05:24, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

Lapis Spring blacklist issue

While uploading the bottom-screen My Castle icons for the My Castle/Objects page, I had to upload the following three images at slightly-alternate filenames due to a blacklist issue concerning the string "Lapis Spring", the object in question: Mi fe14 my castle lapis spring lv1.png Mi fe14 my castle lapis spring lv2.png Mi fe14 my castle lapis spring lv3.png The redlink Lapis Spring has also not yet been redirected to My Castle/Objects#Ore Spots like the rest of the ore spots do due to the same issue. Think this can somehow be taken care of? Thanks. --Shiningpikablu252 (talk) 05:50, 7 April 2017 (UTC)

All done. --Moydow (Support) 14:10, 7 April 2017 (UTC)

Yet another blacklist bogey, I'm afraid...

The intended target this time is Trapping Arrows, an Echoes skill. Due to the issue with the dreaded blacklist, the content intended for that position had to be created at an alternate location, in this case in my userspace at User:Shiningpikablu252/Trap Arrow. Can we get the content where it belongs? Thanks. --Shiningpikablu252 (talk) 03:45, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

Done--Moydow (Support) 12:33, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

...News from Izumo: Blacklist issue detected on Revelation chapter name...

The name in question is Voice of a God, chapter 10 of Revelation. The term in question is three letters, spread out over three words. The content in question has been given a temporary position until it can be moved into the correct one. We hope to learn more about the progress of this by the regular 5:00 news bulletin. --Shiningpikablu252 (talk) 05:09, 3 May 2017 (UTC)

This just in, the page has been moved. --Moydow (Support) 14:32, 3 May 2017 (UTC)

Urgent move requests

As per Echoes English names:

Official and fan-translated names

I don't know how to say this in an organized way, but the Choose Your Legends website from Heroes revealed the official names of many characters whose names were fan-translated in different ways (example: The cleric from Genealogy of Holy War: her name was translated as Adean and Aideen, but the website shows her name as Edain). Shouldn't we change them to the official names?

Here's the link: https://events.fire-emblem-heroes.com/vote/series/104/heroes#first_letter_A --Unnamedgoon (talk) 21:48, 24 May 2017 (UTC)

We're aware of the Choose Your Legends names, but we've chosen to instead wait for those characters to appear in an actual game under those names before we move any articles. I think our stance is justified because of the handful of names that have been changed on the poll site since it was first posted (e.g. Iuchar/Iucharba), and the names which were used on the poll site, but ended up being changed once they were mentioned or appeared in Heroes itself (e.g. Thite appearing on the poll website, but being changed to Thea when she was mentioned by Shanna in Heroes itself). I think issues like this are reason enough to doubt the accuracy of the Choose Your Legends site, so for now, we're sticking with what we currently have. --Moydow (Support) 22:00, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
