So are you an Aussi? (Oi Oi Oi!) --Ceruleus 19:17, 16 April 2008 (PDT)

Sort of, I'm a New Zealander who just happens to live in Tasmania (both areas are closest to the Oceania server).

A Kiwi! Very cool. Kia Ora! --Ceruleus 19:42, 16 April 2008 (PDT)

Sorry about the native res stuff. My moniter is large, and Wilki is all new to me. Having fun learning though. Bare with me:) --Meridus 10:36, 12 May 2008 (PDT)

Stuff I reckon needs the chop.

File:Fiery spellblade.gif

This is not a fiery spellblade.

File:BladeOfInsanity.jpg

No pages use this, Blade of Insanity already has relevant images.

Vangaurd Controller

Mispelt title, don't think it's been around long enough to warrant a redirect.

My Questions

Talk:Greater Dragon Regarding stamina/dexterity mismatches, and maximum skill caps.

Talk:Quiver Regarding damage types.

To Do

Write up pages on Gardening/Plants.

Crossbreeding info.
Try to remember how often Fertile Dirt gave growth bonuses...
Get a picture of an Orange Petal.

Make a start on the armor overview pages.

Publish 51 would suggest runic crafted/looted elf/leather no longer falsely gets Mage Armor property, hunt around and see if any forum posts support this.
Platemail Armor/Leather Armor are redirects, need to deal with those first off.

Check out how the Moongate cohesion system works.

Bung this lot in the Maps category.

-=Armor Categories=
-Hrm, before I get too carried away:
-Some articles are linking to other articles labeled according to armor groups, for example, [[Bone Armor]] has [[Special:Whatlinkshere/Bone_Armor|a few pages]] leading to it. However, this page (and quite a few others) don't actually exist.
-These phantom articles do, on the other hand, have identically named categories. What I've started to do is redirect the articles to these instead in order to reduce the number of red links about the place.
-For example, I set up the [[Platemail Armor]] category with a brief description. I've also done more or less the same thing with [[Leather Armor]].
-However, this involves tweaking quite a few pages and I don't want to mess up things too badly if something else is planned. So is this a good idea?

-I think there should be a page for things such as Bone Armor and Leather Armor, not just linking to categories. In these pages it would be information such as the history of changes to leather armor (medable penalty removal, information about leather dying, etc.). If such a page didn't exist then it would be repetitive to place it on each piece of armor's page (6 in the case of leather). There is also a smaller benefit in being able to link to uoguide.com/Leather_Armor for ease of user searching and search engine indexing. - [[User:JC the Builder|JC the Builder]] 13:02, 13 April 2008 (PDT)
-=Blacksmithy Crafting Categories=
-Well all craftable items are now accounted for on their respective crafting skill pages. Yay.
-So now I was wondering if we could wipe out the crafting "category" pages for the blacksmithy skill. These are: [[Bladed]], [[Bashing]], [[Axes]], and [[Polearm]].
-I've got a few reasons for this.
-* The [[Blacksmithy]] page now lists all items by category anyway making the extra pages redundant.
-* There are more items with "blades" then those on the "bladed" menu. Confusing.
-* The lists don't actually provide any useful information. What's important is which weapons go with which weapon skills.
-* Not all weapons are craftable. For example, the [[Black Staff]] and the [[Wand]] are "bashing" weapons that a smith can't create. This makes that list yet more confusing in that it "appears" incomplete.
-To further complicate matters, there's also ''categories'' for each of these crafting categories: [[:Category:Bladed]], [[:Category:Bashing]], [[:Category:Axes]], and [[:Category:Polearms]]. Between the [[:Category:Blacksmithy|Blacksmithy category]] and the [[:Category:Weapons|Weapons category]] it's a mess (as some are in one or the other or both or even in other places entirely).
-And ha! The only articles in the Bladed category are weapons that aren't even on the smith's bladed list!!
-So what I'd like to see is pages/categories for swords/macing/fencing/archery weapons, perhaps one for axes (which are unique in that they train [[Lumberjacking]] when used), and pages for one/two handed weapons. Scrap all the smithy related weapons pages/categories and avoid all the confusion. If a weapon can be crafted by a smith, it goes in the smithy category and not in some confusing sub-category.
-Now I could just go through and re-format the category layouts for every weapon page without asking, but I'd like to get some sort of permission before making such a large amount of edits. Any thoughts?

-Phew...
-Ok, the [[Bashing]]/[[Polearm]] pages/categories are now effectively toast. They link straight into Smithing.
-[[Bladed]] now covers all bladed weapon classes, and [[Axes]] now works the same way. Each page also has a link into Smithing.
-There was a [[:Category:Staves|Staves]] category, have no idea why, it's also toast.
-And every weapon class (except archery types and [[pitchfork]]s and any others that weren't already in the [[:Category:Weapons|weapons category]] ''somewhere'', I'll do those later) is now sorted correctly. Can't say all the page texts are correct, but the categories at least should be.
-That leaves sticking all the remaining [[:Category:Artifacts|artifacts]] into their respective weapon class categories.
-I flagged just about all the changes as minor so it's easy enough to see anything important.
