Moa Constrictors
If you still have the data, I'd be interested in seeing what items drop on each of the runs you did, preferably in the order that they appeared in the pool if you know. You can post it on my talk page or on the talk page for Moa Constrictors. Thanks ^^. Jawat 17:04, April 5, 2010 (UTC)

Tango or not to Tango
Heh, that's OK, I think. It will be solved eventually, or if not, well then be it! Thanks for the message! ^^ 02:10, October 18, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry for the belated reply, haven't been playing much lately and thus, haven't been around here either. Also, it seems I didn't notice your message in the talk page until now though looking at the date, it was before my reply above, which was to the private'ish message, perhaps due to the new wikia and some things being disabled confusion...

Anyhoo, I can't remember for certain when I first got the quest, or even tried to, but I would guess I did take it after the Mhaura scene, but can't be sure... If my brother starts playing again and we do these missions for him, or if I help someone else with it, then I can look into it more but as it is now, I really can't remember. I do think you got it pretty well down, though, and indeed mentioning your findings on the talk page will surely inspire other players to find our more about it!

As a conclusion, I can only say, keep up the good work! ^^  22:47, November 7, 2010 (UTC)

User Rights
I increased your privileges on the wiki, you should now be able to move / delete / protect pages. If you need any information about this, you can ask. Tahngarthor talk-contribs 22:54, June 18, 2013 (UTC)

Much appreciated.--Blue Donkey Kong (talk) 00:28, June 19, 2013 (UTC)

Thank you. I just found myself going 3 pages in to find out any more about the item. Take Care.

Flotsam
You, sir, have saved the flotsam page from becoming utter chaos. Thanks :) ---Fuz (talk) 01:36, July 20, 2013 (UTC)

Hi
What was the point of deleting the images I posted? They were fine for however many years they have been on this site.

The main reason was that they were not in use on the site. I found them by searching the Wiki for unused images. The pages for the Iga Garb Set and Creed Armor Set already have images. A second reason was that the PNG images you uploaded were transparent PNGs: that is to say, there wasn't actually a white background. The image background was actually transparent so that the image could seamlessly be pasted on top of another image without pasting any background for the image. On certain web browsers, if you mouse over these types of PNG files, you can see a checkered grid of white and blue squares indicating that the image is transparent, and the white background is only a placeholder. These types of images aren't preferred for the wiki, so if an alternative is available, then that image will be used.--Blue Donkey Kong (talk) 08:09, July 21, 2013 (UTC)

Hi
Understood,thanks.I just got the email recently and thought it was odd the images were taken down after so long.I got them from the official site and no one had seen the full sets at the time so I uploaded them for people curious as to what the sets looked like.I wasn't even aware the background was transparent as I snagged the images and uploaded them as soon as they were up.

Nice to see people are still adding to and editing the wiki.

Hi, Blue Donkey Kong - my husband was researching the items needed for the Gobbiebag question. He was following the item links from FFXIAH.com to Wikia. He was looking up Oil-Soaked Cloth and when he followed the link from FFXIAH.com to Wikia he discovered that the page had been deleted by you as a duplicate (url http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Square_of_Oil-soaked_Cloth)

He had to do a manual search for the information that he needed. It was my understanding that FFXIAH and Wikia were supposed to sort of work hand an hand together - I used to do a lot of contributions on the Answers side of Wikia, so I know there is an Undo/restore. Is there a way for you to Undo/restore that deletion so that the link between FFXIAH.com and Wikia is not corrupt or have FFXIAH.com linked to the new Wikia page for Oil-Soaked Cloth?

Thanks in advance

Barb

Hello Barb,

I took care of it by making Square of Oil-soaked Cloth redirect to Oil-Soaked Cloth. The reason the page was deleted was because it was a copy of Oil-Soaked Cloth, but under a second name. According to Naming Conventions on this wiki, items are named according to their inventory names, rather than their text description names, so that's why the proper page for the item is Oil-Soaked Cloth. --06:12, July 28, 2013 (UTC)

THANKS!!!
Thanks so much for the quick response and linking them back together. I find that FFXIclopedia to be the most complete and detailed MMORPG database I've encountered in all the MMO's that I've played - and I know it takes a lot of hard work to keep it that way too. Thanks again!!

Rare template
Should I be using "File:trans-rare.gif" or "Rare2"? I saw my mistake, in that using "Rare" causes the page to show up on the Rare items list. Korvana (talk) 08:46, July 30, 2013 (UTC)

Yes, you should use one of those instead of Template:Rare unless it's an item page that you want categorized as Rare. As for which you use, it can be either one: they're exactly the same, because all that Template:Rare2 does is insert. I'm actually going to start using just because it's a lot easier to type. I couldn't recall which template inserted the image without the category, so I was just typing the image's filename.--Blue Donkey Kong (talk) 18:23, July 30, 2013 (UTC)

File Photos
Please feel free to jump over to my page and add pics to most of my pages. I don't have the capability to add them. Thanx in advance. Fashnek 0430 August 13

Hello Fashnek, Is the issue a wiki-related issue, or hardware-related (for example, PS2 player, or full-screen PC player)? If it's wiki-related, I can help you out.--Blue Donkey Kong (talk) 09:35, August 13, 2013 (UTC)
