=April 4, 2005= This morning I sent Blue Elephant maps guy an email asking if we could use their images. No response yet but just wanted to let you know. I would not stop uploading them however since I assume they wont have a problem.

Weapon Skills - (reply)
Now that I've finally figured out how to make bullets (wiki newb), I've been working on changing all the tabs on the weapon skill pages I've made to bullets. Its a tedious and boring process, and I don't like doing it one bit, but I'm just really picky about content consistency and things like that. Sooner or later I might develop some compulsive desire to re-format and template all the job abilities and job traits, but for now I'm just going to work on Weapon Skills.

Your idea about adding the levels for which jobs obtain each weapon skill at what level is a good one, and I've thought about it a few times but never could figure out how best to format the information into each page. Now that I've figured out how to make bullets, I think it can be done easily. Due to lack of time, however, I don't think I'm going to do it all by myself. I also predict that adding such information to each page is going to be just as boring and tedious as changing tabs to bullets ><. I really want to just get weapon skills done with and move on to other categories and sections.

In the future more information can be added to each weapon skill page as well, as I was thinking along the lines of "Common Skillchain Usage" and general notes. Again, being the only person (I think) working on the 125 weapon skill pages is tedious, and I will need help if this is to be realized.

As an administrator, maybe you can help out by putting this "project" as a Current event? I see that page has always been blank since I've first come across this site, but I think it has some potential. For example, "CURRENT EVENT - Help add job levels to weapon skill pages! Follow the following format: _____"

That would help a lot :)

Oh, and I would just like to express my appreciation for your handling of the Great Katana case, as it was really my fault to begin with (I had no idea that my moving the content to a category was such a big thing).
