User talk:MortenOSlash

Welcome

Hello MortenOSlash! Welcome to UESPWiki. It's always good to have new members. If you would like to help improve any of our pages, you may want to take a look at the following links:

• Policies and Guidelines: UESPWiki standards and expectations
• Quick Editing Guide: a quick guide to wiki markup
• Getting Started: how you can help

If you, on the other hand, would like to spice up your userpage, take a look at this link:

• Userboxes: near complete list of userboxes, including a guide to make your own

When you're editing, it's always a good idea to leave edit summaries to explain the changes you have made to a particular page, and remember to sign your talk page posts with four tildes ~~~~. Also, the "show preview" button is a great way to view the changes you've made so far without actually saving the page (our patrollers really appreciate it!).

Feel free to practice editing in the sandbox or discuss the games in the forums. If you need any help, don't hesitate to contact one of our mentors. Have fun! --Kitkat ^{•Talk•Contrib•E-mail} 13:37, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

Unsigned Comments

Thank you for fixing all of those! There are a billion of those, and having at least one person hacking away at them is great. However, you can (and probably ought to) do all of your edits to a single page at once, rather than making a bunch of edits. It makes it much easier for us patrollers. Thanks! • JA^Talk 06:05, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

I would certainly have liked to. I have tried before, unsuccessfully, as I kept losing track on which are the one I was currently editing. That is why I have fallen back on the one strategy I know I can manage. I might try again, but today I only want to finish one single fix as the time is closing to my bus for work (being just past 7 am at my time zone), so it will have to wait until later.--MortenOSlash 06:14, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

It is easy to get messed up when fixing the really bad talk pages— I usually keep three tabs open in order to keep it all straight! Anyway, I was just going to add a thanks for the same thing, but I saw someone beat me to it. I've been doing this basically every time I get the chance, and I've noticed several times you've already fixed some. It's always a pleasant surprise. So thanks! :) Alphabetface 14:43, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

Four tabs ended up as my solution for the job. One tab for the Unsigned template, as it is easier to copy/paste the example than type each time, one for the unedited talk page, one tab with the whole talk page open in edit mode and one tab with the revision history. --MortenOSlash 15:00, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

Undoing Multiple Edits

I noticed you'd been undoing edits on this page, and you have undone multiple edits before. I just wanted to point out an easier way of doing so: Go back to the last good edit (in this situation, it would have been this), click "edit", and then save the page. You'll get a warning at the top saying that you're editing an old version of the page, but that's all. It's a useful way to quickly fix multiple edits at once. --Velyanthe 16:05, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for the advice. I did not think about that solution at all. I thought it was expected to include the reference number of the edit in the edit summary. Your method is much easier than anything I thought about. Thank you again! --MortenOSlash 16:39, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

It's not necessary to include the reference numbers. If anyone looks through the page history and sees something like "reverted edits", that should be enough.

You're very welcome :) --Velyanthe 17:21, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

More about unsigned comments

Hey there, Slash :) I've seen your edits a few times recently to repair my (sort-of) unsigned comments - and with Velyanthe's help, the problem has been solved. I changed my preferences to include the link to my talk page in my sig, so you shouldn't have to clean up after me anymore. Thanks for your eagle eye! (How do you see these EVERY TIME? Is there a list somewhere for unsigned comments?) --Scribbles (Crayolamanic) (talk) 01:23, 22 February 2013 (GMT)

I was a bit unsure about how it should be presented not to seem negative, so I am glad I managed to pass through my positive intentions. I am glad you found a working solution, as I judge your contributions positive to the site.

I had no idea I covered every of your signatures. That was pure chance. I follow updates on a growing number of pages, as I tend to put every page I have contributed on my automatic watchlist, and a few more that are just of pure interest, so I check them when I see something happens there. For some reason it seems most or maybe all of your contributions where on these pages I kept watch on. See you (or rather your contributions, of course) around the site! —MortenOSlash (talk) 05:49, 22 February 2013 (GMT)

Arcwind Point Talk edits

Hey yeah I'd agree with you about those 3 edits by that anon being forum like and would agree with deletion. Lord Eydvar ^{Talk|Contribs} 05:52, 26 February 2013 (GMT)

I am always torn between being a bit too understanding and a bit too grumpy with all these anonymous contributors, so I did not feel to sure about what to do, so thank you for backing me. I will just remove them right away, then. —MortenOSlash (talk) 07:26, 26 February 2013 (GMT)

Autopatrolled User

Congratulations on your Autopatrolled User status! The new rights you have been given are the following: none. Have fun! ~ Dwarfmp (talk) 20:12, 6 April 2013 (GMT)

Thank you! It will not change my work here much as my aim is only to help improve in my own small ways, and if autopatrolling makes the work easier for other users, then I am all in. I am specially looking forward to execute my new rights as they are listed. :o) —MortenOSlash (talk) 20:49, 6 April 2013 (GMT)

Congratulations! Have fun with your exciting new rights! :) Vely^►t►e 20:51, 6 April 2013 (GMT)
