Item and CraftLoc templates
Item templates and crafting location templates are available on Template:Item and Template:CraftLoc.
examples of how to use them is on http://estiah.aswt.net/index.php?title=Rat_Skin
(Click edit to see how I used them)
Also added a Found template, for listing where an item can be found, at Template:Found

Item Template will now automatically link pages to the Catagory based on their type --nastharl 06:13, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
I suggest a new standard for naming all charms especially in crafting shops, maybe in item->craft references or somewhere else as well. I think it would help you find what you want, but it is a bit tedious and unelegant since you have to replicate data to lots of places. Since it's a bit laggy lately I thought I'd just post this instead of changing everything yet. Made a simple Template:CharmRef for it, though.
Charm_name (Rune1 Rune2 level)
--Slobber 12 July 2008
Okay. Templates are the wrong way to do this since you can't do anything fancy with them, you have to do everything manually. Removing that stupid template. I still think that linking convention is good, though. --Slobber 13 July 2008
Animal + Pet Categories Overlapping
If you go to Pets from the front page you get a much shorter list than the amount that is on Animal
I think a consolidation is in order.
Bot hacking
There's some kind of bot that keeps editing our Main page with non-Estiah-related stuff... Could it be possible to make this Main page only editable by registered users ???
- Someone is at it again, on this page this time. -- Smashy
- Not really surprising. There aren't any active admins or bureaucrats on this wiki to stop them. --AmanuJaku 22:05, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
- Just "backed up" this page as it was at this point, seriously how it had been edited was horrible. -- Opportunist 14th April 16:32
- Undone the added bit, if there is a section called Sfdgrgd or something like that DO NOT click on any of the links if you want to keep your computer safe. -- Opportunist
Armor/Ward tables
I think these are kinda neat, but how are you supposed to edit them? Also, Shield Bash should be changed to Armor Projection. --Smashy December 28 2008
- They can be edited at Template:Wardchart, Template:Willpowerchart, and Template:Armorchart.--Vecusum 21:39, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
- I made the changes, although Armor Projection seems sorta ambiguous. Hopefully someone that knows more about how it works in-game can make a page about it soonish.--Vecusum 21:41, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
- Armor/Ward projection = deal melee/magic damage equal to your own armor/ward (up to a fixed maximum) -- Azharh
- I'm certainly grateful for additional information but that's not exactly what I meant. More of a discussion on mechanics related to and involving it. Something like this, that page even has a nice portion with discussion on the history of thing. Although that might not be as viable here as that page was made as the skill was. More detail so it's more than just a Stub, although that is a place to start initially. --Vecusum 04:52, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
- While I don't think we can get much of a page going about the mechanics of certain things, I'd actually be interested in adding on a little history section for charms and effects. --Smashy, January 25 2009 (February 22 edit: That, or just have a page with all the patches here, with links to the charms as needed.)

- Cute but it's a pain to edit. I added Leather Pants. Had to change the color of every following rows and had to add an empty line to the right pane to balance heights. --Jamstalldhet March 8 2009 (Happy International Women's day !)
- Same thing when I added Battle Glyph... --Jamstalldhet March 8 2009
- Is there a way to set the alternating colors as a style instead of assigning the colors directly to each cell? I don't know my wiki commands well. Having to propagate all of the color changes manually is a deterrent to editing the table as many have said. Alternatively, can we simply just make it a regular black and white table? It seems to work fine in other parts of the wiki. --h4ngedm4n 18 April 2009
- MediaWiki:Common.css, though I doubt anyone can actually edit it outside of GreeezyC. Unless Greeezy decides to make some more sysops I'm thinking that we might end up needing to fork the wiki. The adbots are getting out of hand, and things like what you've just brought up need someone with the necessary privileges to fix them. The prerequisite extensions and such to make this wiki truly useful are also sadly absent, and will need the owner himself to do some stuffing around to add them in. --Anon 06:35, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

{| style="background:black"

I prefer to set the entire table to the specific non-white color and set the target rows to white. That way, if someone decides to modify the example from black to blue they only have to change one line. --Hrist 02:03, 10 June 2009 (UTC)- All of the methods listed above, whether you use color codes, setting only target rows, or style sheets with alternating table row classes, require a propagated change all following rows in order to insert data mid-table. We don't need alternating row colors to make a readable table, see Jobs for example. --H4ngedm4n 07:09, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
New main page
Anybody likes it? Wanna revert it back?--Thari 06:28, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
Fine w/ me
looks great, but shouldn't Battle Skills go to the Battle page instead of the Charms page?
New main page changes...
- Much of the game revolves around charms, so charms replaces skills as a main category. This allows for access to listings of Buff, Debuff, Spirit, Willpower, and Tech charms directly instead of going to the associated skill. Skills can be accessed from Character already.
- City and Market sections separated. City is now a list of cities, and Market is things in a city. Items moved to Market section, since items are often bought/sold/used for crafting at the market.
- Pets given own section to expose Animal Fighting and Animal Racing to main menu, as these are important parts of the game.
- Various aspects of Guild function added, pages requested. Don't need a listing of some guild buildings on main menu, a pointer to such a list is sufficient.
- No need to expose trade skills at main menu, accessible from character
- Added linkability to section titles, which unfortunately caused some incidents of Red/Blue on black, rather unreadable. Changed to white background temporarily.

- Liking it so far. (Also you can sign using the http://estiah.aswt.net/skins/common/images/button_sig.png buttan there).--Thari 14:46, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for the protip! I also started up the Help:Contents section. We can now mark stub articles with the {{stub}} tag. --H4ngedm4n 04:58, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
Blocking
Has anyone here got the power to block accounts/IP addresses? As we seriously need to stop this from happening...
Just PM me with the IPs that need banned, it's a relatively straightforward thing for me to do. -Kas
Wouldn't it be easier to disallow anonymous edits? H4ngedm4n 20:06, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
Gatherings
Whoever did them screwed most of them up. Rank should go by the rank actually assigned to them ingame, Do Not Reuse Game Terms For Your Own Preferences, it compromises whatever value your edit would otherwise add and makes it so that no one can be sure what the hell any of the pages using the term mean. --Vecusum 01:52, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
Navigation Side Bar
I suggest that the Game Forum link be added to the navigation side bar; another access point will mean more activity?Links to the pet pages from items they eat.
I'm not sure how helpful this would be to have these be exhaustive. I've seen it in there ONCE. When I search on an item, I often find that potential uses (such as feeding to a pet) do not come up. I'm not sure we want a link to EVERY pet for everything that they can eat.
I was thinking perhaps just the beneficial ones?
In other words, every pet that a food item has a positive stat impact upon?
I've seen it done, by something that said "used to build an ant farm." I wasn't expecting to reach a pet page when I clicked. Poobah 04:20, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
