Hey, I'm going through Serpent Knights adding Masterhoods as appropriate. I can't edit MHOG's page and he needs a Category: Master Dragon please and thank you. (Shadowmusicgurl on the wiki, Roslyn Tul Amt Name, Rosaline Fortascue Facebook Name)

I have lowered the protection status so you can make changes, just make sure you are logged in and it will work. I also made the change. - Crispin 17:17, 2 September 2014 (EDT) 

hay. thanks for the facebook/ORK3 link fix. Munch Ironfistersson 16:05, 21 September 2014 (EDT)

No problem, check out the others we have listed in the "help" section - Crispin 10:16, 22 September 2014 (EDT)

Daedera Dragoneye Megan Schultz (on FB)

I just have a quick question; how does one create a subgroup or add a page to a subgroup? I was trying to update "http://amtwiki.net/amtwiki/index.php/Rising_Winds_People" by linking the additional parks to the subgroup of the page and removing the parks that are no longer active. Currently the subgroup only lists 11 of the RW parks and a few of them are defunct.

I'm going to contact you on FB so we can figure out exactly how to make it look like you want it too. - Crispin 13:19, 20 November 2014 (EST)

Confused about the statement you made on talk:Bayard. Are you saying Bayard was a banned player who removed his own information, or that User:Bayard removed someone else's information and just also happened to blank his own page? Only matters for sake of afd nominiations. Ricken (talk) 17:15, 31 March 2015 (EDT)


Ausar was banned a while back but doesn't have the appropriate red text warning. Also, should we add pages for banned members from the e-sam monarchy's list of banned players? Just for reference to others. Ricken (talk) 18:16, 31 March 2015 (EDT)

I was never informed of a banning on Ausar, where did you here or learn of the banning? 
As for adding pages, I had a long conversation with Goldcrest during his Ombudsman time and it was decided if they do not already have a page,
there is no reason to create one just to log a banning. - Crispin 20:00, 31 March 2015 (EDT)

Main Page Error

I designed the main page a while back. I am getting the following error under the image area on the right for Current Kingdoms: "Error: image is invalid or non-existent." Any idea what change broke this part of the main page's functionality or when it occured?   Takaffi   talk    contribs    email   12:14, 14 April 2015 (EDT)

That's super weird. Neither the file nor the the Main Page have been altered since January. I last looked at the main page maybe 5 days ago, and nothing was in error then. We haven't even had a MediaWiki update or an update to Extension:ImageMap. Ricken (talk) 15:07, 14 April 2015 (EDT)
Yeah this happens from time to time, all you do is go into the edit screen select "preview" then hit "save" and it fixes itself, some conflict in the programming. Hoping it goes away with the new update. - Crispin 21:44, 14 April 2015 (EDT)

Botpocalypse

The spam bots have been busy. The Recent Changes page bleeds red. Though I was once an admin, those powers have apparently vanished into the ether, possibly due to lack of use.
So while I'd like to nuke some bots and kill some spam ad pages, I can only point out their existence and wish you the best, for now. Mithrandiel 22:22, 17 October 2015 (EDT) (AKA Miles)

Thanks for the heads up, this all started a year ago, seems October is there busy month. We will get right on undoing there damage. - Crispin 23:43, 18 October 2015 (EDT)

My Wonderful Squire-Bro

Took an Amtgard (and Amtwiki) break and came back in a flurry of midnight editing. Avoiding Facebook for a while. Can you give me to lowdown on the state of the amtwiki administration? You don't seem to be active edit-wise recently, but you might poke in occassionally. Sent the same message to Renjara just in case. Any news from the You/Casca/Goldcrest consulate? I'd love to get back to my big projects I had pulled from under me. Ricken (talk) 03:56, 26 March 2016 (EDT)

 Left you a message on you board Sis. - Crispin 19:06, 26 March 2016 (EDT)

Suggestion: Portal Namespace

On Wikipedia (and many other wikis) there is a namespace called "Portal", whose pages feature braod categories and links to pages, topics, and other portals concerning that topic. A good example is the Wikipedia Portal for New Zealand, which features links to articles about the country and its people/culture/history/etc. I thought we could use this to inspire a better solution to the Amtgard Resources and Tutorials pages, which are right now a bit of an ugly mess.

I've been messing around with a layout draft on my sandbox and want to know what you think of the idea and the look of the layout. We can also include links to tutorials and specific resources here. I know we can't implement anything right now, but it wouldn't hurt to make drafts for all my big projects to implement as soon as the flag drops (hopefully) at Clan.

This concept would require a major rewriting of many resource pages, as some are blank and most are stubs and very lacking. But we were going to do that anyway.

Bot please?

Hey, it's Ricken. Could I get bot permissions on this account? I want to test out the bot api so we can have something cool in the future. I won't be making a lot of edits all at once until we get permission and I know for sure it works. I swear to every god ever I won't break the wiki. Ricken-bot 22:40, 29 March 2016 (EDT)
