My Bot

Hi Ederchil, is it possible you could add User:Mithbot to the bot usergroup (no idea why that's a redlinks: it works for me) so I can do some menial and boring tasks quickly? Thanks, --Mith (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 19:50, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

I'm only a sysop, not a bureaucrat, so I can't change user group rights. You could PM or email Hyarion for this. -- Ederchil ^{(Talk/Contribs/Edits)} 20:50, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Oh, OK, I thought you were (wishful thinking!). Thanks anyway! --Mith (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 21:57, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Actually, I thought I was too :) -- Ederchil ^{(Talk/Contribs/Edits)} 22:21, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Main page spelling mistake

Hello - while using this wiki, I noticed that main page's featured article has a spelling mistake. It should be borne not born in the sentence "Glamdring was the sword once born by Turgon, King of Gondolin." I can't edit the page! :) Darth Newdar 17:27, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Thank you. -- Ederchil ^{(Talk/Contribs/Edits)} 21:40, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

The Peril to the Shire page

Just wanted to know why you keep editing the page I'm building on "The Peril to the Shire". I worked rather hard on it, yet you keep re-arranging and deleting stuff. It would be nice if you asked first, or at least let me know what you are up to.

I figured you were involved in production. First of all, thank you for contributing.

I basically rearranged a lot to make it fit our Manual of Style and deleted a lot because it was (in my eyes) repetition. Also, a lot of text in long sentences does not improve readability, and detracts attention from your own website (we don't want to be too complete now, do we?). --Ederchil ^{(Talk/Contribs/Edits)} 16:04, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

An image page won't load

I was trying to load the entry page for Image:Middle-earth (large).jpg, and all I get from the server is an empty page. I reloaded repeatedly, and I still get an empty page. I tried other images in the category I found it in, and many other pages load fine. But this page won't. A couple others won't too—I suspect that the large file size may have something to do with it, but that's just a guess. Maybe the server is failing to generate a thumbnail for images that size? I just don't know. - Gilgamesh 17:07, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

I'm not really having trouble with the image itself, but I think you're referring to MERP: Middle-earth Role Playing Poster Maps, the page on which it is embedded. I have the same issue. I managed to sneak into the history via Morgan's contributions and removed the image (resizing it gave problems again). -- Ederchil ^{(Talk/Contribs/Edits)} 21:50, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

Now an entire category page won't load, and I didn't exactly embed images into the page body either. o.o Category:Maps of Minas Tirith. It displayed mostly alright after I created it, but now the category page is just a white blank, like some of the image pages. Is it possible that MediaWiki or one of its backend programs is running out of memory? Or another kind of error? How do we fix this kind of thing? - Gilgamesh 09:32, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

Apparently a new image problem, "Error creating thumbnail: Invalid thumbnail parameters". Don't know about the category. i'll see if I can email Hyarion about this. -- Ederchil ^{(Talk/Contribs/Edits)} 14:24, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

Sorry about the peacock-term "beautiful". - Gilgamesh 15:10, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

No problem. Though I do agree, it's just not encyclopedic. -- Ederchil ^{(Talk/Contribs/Edits)} 16:26, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
