Way back you made a post on the discussion board here about having people write commentary style columns and Connor is a huge creator of original content, like his in game distributed book of crafting. A few days ago on a Turbine boards thread I invited him to do as you suggested. I see you've moved your own pages to User:An Adventurer but I'd be fine with it either way myself. It might be nice to have a nice clean title for people that will be making original contributions or commentary (like the Tlosk's Tidbits you suggested back then). In the meantime I made redirects to avoid anyone coming to an unfriendly deadend page.  
Great, thanks. I'll have a go at doing them.


The primary distinction I think being, with regard to policy is whether material is of general interest or if concerns a single user. The issue being content in the User namespace won't show up in searches at all unless you do an Advanced Search and explicitly include the User namespace. It's set up that way to keep personal pages that aren't of general interest invisible. But I think would work contrary to the content's purpose for general material that lots of people will be interested in viewing. --[[User:Tlosk|Tlosk]] 17:34, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

The edits that show up are replace text edits. This function uses its own unique permission type and it overrides the bot one so shows up. I've configured it so only bot accounts have access to this tool. It allows you to replace text across the entire wiki. While logged on a bot account the [[:Special:ReplaceText]] link will appear on [[:Special:SpecialPages]].  
Hey! Good to see you back on here. Maybe we can fire up some interest again?


You enter the text to find, what to replace it with, then hit Continue and a message indicating how many undifferentiated instances there are (places where the new text already exists), hit continue and a list of all the instances will display with a check box by each one. Hitting Replace will then load all of the instances into the Job cue (that were still check boxed). The cue does a replace every time someone uses the wiki (to balance out the load on the server) until all the requested changes have been processed.
My kid is playing and finding some wiki mistakes, so I'm making a few adjustments. It's good to be back.


I'm almost done changing the icon files (done A to S) and will be running it again when done to change the icon to Icon on individual pages (maybe, there may be too many so may need to whittle the number down some first).--[[User:Tlosk's Bot|Tlosk's Bot]] 19:00, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
