In response to my [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_requests#Special_page_query_to_find_images_without_a_copyright_license extension request to make a special query page which lists all files without a copyright license], I have received a very helpful reply. As you can see, this solution utilises the [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:DynamicPageList_%28Wikimedia%29 DynamicPageList extension]. It would be useful for this purpose, but no doubt it will come in handy for other tasks too. Could you install it? --{{User:KingAragorn/sig}} 16:11, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

Welcome to Mith's talk page.
  • Please post your new topic at the bottom of this page, including a ==Descriptive heading==.
  • You should sign and date your posts by inserting "~~~~" at the end of them.
  • Please indent your posts with ":" if replying to an existing topic (or "::" if replying to a reply, etc.).
  • I will generally respond here to comments that are posted here, rather than replying via your talk page (or the article talk page, if you are writing to me about an article), so you may want to watch this page.
  • If I have left a message on your talk page, please continue the discussion there; DO NOT reply here. This is ensure that discussions do not become fragmented over several talk pages.
⇒ Start a new talk topic.

Template:Book

In case we're going to use the Template:Book for magazines and journals it would be great to have a line for "issue", or something similar. I'm thinking that this line would add text to the "title" but not in italics (if you see what I mean). Any idea? --Morgan 18:44, 3 January 2012 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I have to admit I'm not entirely sold on the principle of one template for both books and journals. --Mith (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 16:39, 4 January 2012 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Mithbot: The Hobbit(s)

It seems like the Mithbot made some strange edits back in 2010 - at least on one occasion it changed the link to The Hobbit to The Hobbits. Do you know why it happened here, and did it possibly happen in other articles as well (which we haven't noticed)?--Morgan 10:05, 28 January 2012 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Only one other, which I've just fixed. This is quite an easy error to find, after all. --Mith (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 12:07, 28 January 2012 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Happy Birthday

Happy birthday! --Amroth 14:00, 4 March 2012 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Same here. --Ederchil (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 14:13, 4 March 2012 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Mithbot: Melkor/Morgoth

I merged Melkor with Morgoth, as per talk page. Would you have time to look into letting Mithbot handle the relinking? What do you reckon, should "Melkor" redirect to the section "Melkor" in the article on Morgoth, or just to the Morgoth article itself?--Morgan 00:02, 19 March 2012 (UTC)Reply[reply]

KingAragorn Bot feels unloved.-- KingAragorn  talk  contribs  edits  email  11:10, 19 March 2012 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Oh, sorry - I thought you used the same bot! Feel free to put KingAragorn Bot in work! ;-) --Morgan 11:23, 19 March 2012 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Done. I replaced [[Melkor]] with [[Morgoth|Melkor]].-- KingAragorn  talk  contribs  edits  email  15:58, 20 March 2012 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Thanks for having this conversation on my talk page. --Mith (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 22:56, 20 March 2012 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Addition to the Welcoming message?

Do you think we should add something about the confirmation questions (and perhaps also not being able to upload images), disappearing after a few edits, to the automatic welcoming message? I'm thinking that it might be confusing and annoying for newly registered users? --Morgan 00:44, 20 March 2012 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Fairuse template Sideshow Collectibles

Hi Mith, Could you add Template:Fairuse-Sideshowcollectibles to the licensing list? --Amroth 17:18, 6 April 2012 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Done. --Mith (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 19:20, 6 April 2012 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Thanks --Amroth 10:07, 7 April 2012 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Dagor Dagorlad

Will there be any actual work/books related to or based on Dagor Dagorath the battle of all battles as it has remained unfinished for the moment?

New extension

In response to my extension request to make a special query page which lists all files without a copyright license, I have received a very helpful reply. As you can see, this solution utilises the DynamicPageList extension. It would be useful for this purpose, but no doubt it will come in handy for other tasks too. Could you install it? -- KingAragorn  talk  contribs  edits  email  16:11, 18 June 2012 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Coincidentally, I was advised to go for this extension. --Mith (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 16:29, 18 June 2012 (UTC)Reply[reply]
