Alchemy Effects

Hey! Since you were the one who did the Alchemy stuff the first time, would you be willing to lay out a bot request for HnB to update the pages and links to the new effects for the ingredients? You know better than anyone what pages need to be changed and whether they can simply be moved or if something more drastic is needed! Jeancey (talk) 18:09, 14 February 2017 (UTC)

Wait - how much changed? I didn't see anything about this in the patch-notes. If they've changed many of the effects, it's going to be more than just a bot job to fix it. The lists of craftable potions were created by an app I wrote to show all combinations, so I'll have to do all that again. Ugh. This might be a headache. — TheRealLurlock (talk) 18:16, 14 February 2017 (UTC)

Well, at the very least there are like 15 new effects.... but I can't tell if they just renamed old ones and they have the same actual effect or if they are just completely new. Stuff like Cowardice, Breach, Maim, Hindrance, etc. Those are all new. If they have just been renamed, then a bot can do that. If not, then... well... Jeancey (talk) 18:20, 14 February 2017 (UTC)

Sounds like they just named the effects seen on the ingredients to match the effects seen on the actual potions. This might not be so bad. Let me assess the damage and get back to you on that. — TheRealLurlock (talk) 18:30, 14 February 2017 (UTC)

Prodded User Image

The Silencer recently prodded a user image that's nominally yours, or at least that's how HotnBOThered identified it back in late 2012. Since you're still an active user, I wanted to check with you before it gets deleted. Any reason you want to keep it? – Robin Hood  ^(talk) 06:18, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

I have no idea what the context of this image was. I'm not even sure how it got associated with me since I didn't upload either version of it - only thing I ever did that I can see is add the missing license template to it. It's not linked on any of my archive pages, or anywhere else except this talk page. Off-hand - is there a chance that it's that one female Dremora? (There's only one female Dremora in the entire game of Oblivion if I recall.) That's the only possible theory I can think of for this (and if it is the case, it's notable enough to keep), but otherwise, I have no particular attachment to it. — TheRealLurlock (talk) 20:12, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

The image was used in your Sandbox II, which had not been constructively edited in 4 years when I blanked it to avoid maintenance 18 months ago. I can't say if it was used elsewhere and only recently came into the Unused Files listing or had been in there since that time as that listing is severely overcrowded.

Oh, alright then. Well, it certainly wasn't my image ever, and should never have been named after me in the first place. If anything, it should've been named after Alpha who uploaded it, or prod'ed back then instead of userfied, since its inclusion on my page was obviously part of a design proposal for an article, not a claim of ownership over anything. I definitely don't see any reason to keep the image around in any case. I just hope there aren't too many more out there that I'm supposed to care about because somebody thought they belonged to me... — TheRealLurlock (talk) 05:39, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

It was presumably assigned to you because you were the only person left who was using it at the time. As for whether there are any others, that's easy enough to find out: [1]. – Robin Hood  ^(talk) 07:36, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

Quest sections

It would be easier to just bump "Quest Map" to level 2 and add "Quests" as a level 2 underneath. Then anything that's transcluding using #lsth on the Quests header won't need to be changed. --Enodoc (talk) 17:19, 23 February 2017 (UTC)

I thought about that, but I think the current headers are a better description for what the sections actually contain. Marking something as "Quest Map" implies that it covers all the quests, when it really only covers the Main Quest for each zone. Don't worry, I'll handle all of the transcludes. As far as I can tell, the Achievement pages are the only places using #lsth on these sections, and there's not that many of them. — TheRealLurlock (talk) 17:40, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
