Welcome
Hi, welcome to Deus Ex Wiki! Thanks for your edit to the Talk:Adam Jensen page.

Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything! -- Nathan2000 (Talk) 05:06, December 20, 2010

Wikia.css
I've done what you asked me to, though I'm still struggling with colors and fonts. I've never really touched the current skin so I'm wandering in the dark. BTW, what in hell is "IMFELLDWPicaPRORegular"?--Nathan2000 19:38, January 21, 2011 (UTC)

It is a font. -- Snfonseka 03:29, January 22, 2011 (UTC)

Portal template
Hello. I recently added the portal template to my wiki, and I saw your message on Tierrie's Dragon Age page.

If you want your slider to slide, you have to add the following text to MediaWiki:Common.js

You should copy and paste this by clicking edit and copying the text from the edit box, not from the page itself. Also, do not copy the

Re:Regarding Portal Templates
I see what you mean about it overlapping. If you use the portal template on the main page it wont overlap as the main page is wider than article or sandbox pages. You'll just have to add the main page template to it. I've made an example using the pages in your sandbox here.--Klock101 16:58, January 22, 2011 (UTC)

Missing images, links and completed Portal
Yes it's normal, it's the reorganization of the Wiki I started to use the policy used by great Wiki ;). It's a pretty immense work and there is still currently remains but don't worry for that, thank you anyway for having notified =).

Oh yes also, thank you for the "Portal Template", is very nice to you!

Nice evening and see you soon! Itachou [~talk~] 17:19, January 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * Finally I just added a square around it to make everything better. Your images were already high quality, although for the Human Revolution police and congratulations for your work, a big thank you sincerely, the Wiki is much more like a great Wiki ;). I see you work in the shadow but I expected the result, I wasn't disappointed! Itachou [~talk~] 18:51, January 25, 2011 (UTC)

You're welcome ;), and your arguments hold the road, but well it's true that the released date is usually predominant and better (like Dragon Age Wiki ^^), and then I also prefer. Oh yes also, I'll protect the main page, it goes without saying (because anyone, like vandal, can modify that would be very unpleasant). If you need to change anything, tell me and I unlock the page ;). See you soon my friend! Itachou [~talk~] 19:10, January 25, 2011 (UTC)

What he said
Good job to you and Klock101 for creating the new main page. It's awesome. BTW, you asked me for the date of this Wiki's creation. According to my research (I just looked for the first comment on the founder's talk page) it is July 28, 2008.

No problem
No problem man. I'm happy to help. If you ever need anything in the future, just ask.--Klock101 23:04, January 28, 2011 (UTC)

Just a heads up
Hi Snfonseka. Just wanted to give you a heads up on the minor edit I made to the screenshot slideshow on the main page. For some reason, 4 of the images were not displaying, so I tinkered with it and found that changing the widths by just 1 pixel made all the images appear, so that's what I did.

By the way, the wiki is looking great, especially the main page. :) JoePlay http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb33036/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (talk)  22:13, February 3, 2011 (UTC)

Please unlock Template:Portal/Component/News
Hello my friend ;)

It's done, you can do what you want (haha as always you are the engineer of the Deus Ex wiki). Good luck Snfonseka and see you soon =)! Itachou [~talk~] 12:13, August 17, 2011 (UTC)

Confusion regarding "Policies and guidelines - Categorization"
Hi Snfonseka ;)

Yes that's right, the character category is now wrong. In fact, almost all categories need to be clean, as part of the new navigation scheme. Itachou [~talk~] 14:55, August 19, 2011 (UTC)

Adminship Request
Hello Snfonseka ;)

In fact, there is already a policy about adminship request here:.

Anyway, I gave my opinion on the topic. After Dorgles tell his opinion, I will take a decision. Itachou [~talk~] 16:50, August 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * No problem Snfonseka, in fact there is currently not enough people for a community vote. Otherwise congratulations, you are now an admin =), keep up the good works! Itachou [~talk~] 13:44, August 24, 2011 (UTC)

Background
Hey, I will have one of our content production staff members contact you shortly to help you with this issue. They can advise you on alternatives far better than I can. Thanks! tae (talk ) 17:37, August 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi! I've uploaded a <100kB version of the background here. As you can see, it uses black gradients to the bottom transitions into the background, and gradients also reduce the file size. I've also added a black area in the center the exact size of the article so that saves another few kBs. If you need anything else, just contact me :). Mark  ( talk ) 20:36, August 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * Has the new background been uploaded? Im still getting the crap old one. Dorgles 04:12, August 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi! Wikia is currently experiencing technical issues with the upload system, causing images not to update. I expect a fix within 48 hours, but I can't give any guarantees. There's no need to re-upload the image, as soon as the issues are resolved it'll automatically update. Apologies for the inconvenience! Mark  ( talk ) 15:40, August 25, 2011 (UTC)

Tweaked the poll colors
Hi Snfonseka. I just edited Wikia.css to change the poll color, so that the votes can be seen/read. It was white on white, so essentially invisible. I changed it to a dark gold, which I think fits the colors of the wiki and Human Revolution (which I'm loving so far! 8 hours in to the game at the moment). Keep up the great work!

Re:Your opinion on achievements
Hey. Here's what I think of the achievements system:

The Good:
 * You can say what you like about the achievements system, but it's undeniable that it promotes editing and motivates editors. Users are much more likely to edit if there's a goal they can work towards.
 * It's customisable. You can name the rewards to fit your wiki's subject, and add your own images to them. You can even create your own achievements.

The Bad:
 * No matter where you go, you'll always find someone who, when they see a leaderboard, decide that they have to be on top of it. Admittedly, this is kind of the point of a leaderboard, but there are two ways to get there. There are the editors who will work on the wiki productively and eventually earn achievements through this work, and there are the editors who see the requirements for an achievement and tear through pages, adding categories that don't belong, images that have no real relevance, and posting nonsense in blog posts. Whether they realise it or not, they are doing severe damage to the quality of the articles the edit, and to the quality of the wiki as a whole.
 * The achievement badges that pop up aren't exactly subtle. They take up a lot of space in Special:WikiActivity (we had to abandon our original homepage activity feed because they ruined it whenever they popped up). The images all have to fit into odd frames as well, which may not look good on the wiki.

Back when the achievement system was originally active, I was the only admin on the wiki, and as a result, had to patrol all of the edits myself, which probably lead to my patience with it being worn down far quicker that normal. Looking back, I can safely say that having just one person to oversee the achievements is a bad idea. If you have a group of editors willing to oversee the system, (my suggestion, at least one admin and a group of dedicated editors with rollback rights to undo any potentially damaging edits), then I'd say go for it. Now that we have five admins on the Uncharted wiki, I might actually reinstate the achievements, as we have more people to keep an eye on them this time.

That's just my opinion. Back when I had the achievements, you had to request them from Wikia staff. Now that they're in Wikia Labs, you can just turn them off and on at the touch of a button, so I'd suggest giving them a few weeks trial run. After that, you can make the decision whether to keep them or remove them. I hope this helped. --Klock101 16:18, August 26, 2011 (UTC)

deleted weapons page?
hey idk if you did it on purpose or by accident but you deleted the entire weapons page Strange..it was coming up page deleted before (This page needs content! blah blah w.e it says) and it had your name. network glitch or something

Standard regarding naming of weapons pages.
Hello my friend ;)

Sorry but I don't agree, weapon pages must have their in-game name to be more easily findable and identifiable by players and not their name in the universe that many players don't know and that is difficult to find, even if a weapon it is just called "Pistol" (like the ZHL-U1953 of Deus Ex). Otherwise, the real name of the weapon should be write in the page instead of just "Pistol" or something.

It is a policy already use by The Vault which is one of the best Wikia gaming and a reference for Wikia format, and I think it's the best solution. I even saw someone write their in-game name in parentheses because they were hard to find them, so this is a problem for everyone.

In another point, the game always add new name, for exemple the Longsword Whisperhead which is a pre-order weapon and also a sniper rifle (and a sniper rifle already exist in-game) is name in-game "Silenced sniper rifle" and not "Sniper rifle". The Fallout universe is a good exemple, even with the impressive number of weapons (more than 100), none have ever had the same name. Anyway, if that happens, we just have to add something in parentheses to be separated from that of the original game, but for now this is not the case.

If someone want to have more information about this weapon type in the universe, overview page are make for that like Pistol. Itachou [~talk~] 14:25, August 29, 2011 (UTC)

RE: Forum "preload" is not working
I haven't dealt with that problem before, so because I don't already know what to do to fix it, you'll surely get a better (and probably faster) solution by submitting the problem using the form found at Special:Contact. That goes directly to the Community Support team, who will promptly follow up with you.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution weapons
Just a heads up my friend, it's better to name the category directly "Deus Ex: Human Revolution weapons" like the others =). Itachou [~talk~] 17:43, August 29, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes but this category is false and don't use the standard format like the others. We just need to remove it and put the appropriate category for all Deus Ex: Human Revolution weapon. Itachou [~talk~] 17:50, August 29, 2011 (UTC)

No problem ;). Yes in fact our weak point currently is the "categorization" (many false and multiple categories of the same things) and copyright and categorization for images (almost nonexistent, that's why I want a new admin in fact). In the future, I will try to take a more important look about them. Itachou [~talk~] 17:59, August 29, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes =). For weapons it's "Deus Ex weapons", "Deus Ex: Invisible War weapons" and "Deus Ex: Human Revolution weapons", after I see some categories with all words capitalized like "Mechanically Augmented Characters" instead of "Mechanical-characters" or some other category etc.


 * But anyway apart of DX:HR weapons category, if you don't want to fix some now don't bother you about that specifically, but they are mistake that we need to be corrected one day or another. Itachou [~talk~] 18:13, August 29, 2011 (UTC)

Category cleanup
Thanks, I think sincerely that you are the most valuable admin here. The initiative to fix things is something important that you are the only one to show that among all admins.

I would like to have your opinion on a question. Nobody puts the copyright on images despite my news and the spam of the policies and guidelines on the main page and the message of the community. The problem is that I have no solution, I don't want to discourage people to upload good images and new images for Deus Ex: Human Revolution by removing them or banning them temporary, but copyright just take 5 seconds to put and without it, legally, we can have problems even if it does not seem like that serious.

It is a basic principle and the Wiki has enough things to be fix, what should we do in your opinion? I get tired of always being behind people to remind them to follow the policies and guidelines and put copyrights. Itachou [~talk~] 12:46, August 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes I saw since I was a contributor of DA Wiki =). Well in fact in The Vault, despite the impressive number of people, everyone, even the new, all put copyrights (only not for "user page images"). So why? They are more than five times than us.


 * Anyway I think yes automatic copyright templates selected during the uploading is a good solution to the problem. Actually it's not a problem to put them, it is to do that forever without anyone take that into account.


 * Also, except you and me, not one put the copyright, even the admins! For the ban it's just a fear warning, to make them realize a minimum it is important and a Wiki is not a lynching content without any legal protection.


 * Haha in fact for spam I was referring me spamming the policies and guidelines everywhere. Anyway I already saw 3-4 vandal and I ban them for 1 weeks. We are a small Wiki in term of admins and the vandal are so more dangerous for us compared to The Vault, Wookiepedia or Dragon Age Wiki. Itachou [~talk~] 14:55, August 30, 2011 (UTC)
