You should apply for admin rights, you certainly deserve them. It would make your job much easier. -- Аsuryan's (talk) 10:31, 16 May 2016 (MDT)

I probably should, the website being this empty of users it would feel a bit pointless.--Ashendant (talk) 12:26, 16 May 2016 (MDT)

Frontpage links updated. Also the strange thing is that the WFB pages have been seeing a huge spike in visitors since the SEGA videogame Warhammer:Total War shipped. But as with all wikis, only the tiniest fraction of new readers wish to contribute.

Aetherwing

Thank you for the clean-up and assist. Shadowclaimer (talk) 20:15, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

re. message

Hey, got your message. Wanna hit the points you bring up:

  • I do know how to use the Fn/Endn system and I've been sourcing most of the stuff I add, I sometimes forget to when I go down a long rabbit-hole of edits. My plan is to put up all the Realms info I can find from the primer and the first Realmgate Wars book and make sure it's all sourced before getting too far into the other books and faction battletomes. I want to hit it all eventually - Realms, factions, armies, characters, etc.
  • I'll keep in mind the [[ ]] thing, I generally don't like linking to non-existent articles until I'm ready to write them, but I don't mind that much.
  • I actually prefer summarizing info rather than copying directly, I just noticed directly copied text elsewhere and did the same. I'd rather use my own words anyway so I'll do that from now on.

I'm really hoping to get this wiki up to snuff as a reference for Age of Sigmar info. Thanks. GoldenYak (talk) 11:24, 10 August 2016 (MDT)

Hey Ashendant,

Age of Sigmar game / publications thoughts

I suggest a new page for Age of Sigmar (game). That will give us a page to link to when we are talking about the GW game itself, as opposed to the setting. There are some stubs for warhammer fantasy and some of its editions that we can use as a template for now. Eventually we will want our publication/ game apges to feel more like the 40K ones that have cover pics, table of contents, publication date, etc... Bigred (talk) 15:37, 10 September 2017 (MDT)

Well, I was thinking it would go like this:
We should try to copy the 40k lexi success through there are some sections, like categories names, that don't work because of factions from the two fantasy "settings" sharing the same name. Which is a problem I already fixed.
Did you receive my message about new users not receiving their passwords through email and the "forgot your password" function not working?
--Ashendant (talk) 15:54, 10 September 2017 (MDT)
Will pass on the email/password bug to the progammers asap. Bigred (talk) 16:49, 10 September 2017 (MDT)
Thanks and don't forget that these passwords will need to be resent.
On another note I'm adding templates from the WH40K wiki as needed, like someone needed it today, but the colors end up ugly. I could easily figure out how to change it, but not what color to change it. In color terms for tables and templates i've been using whatever i get first, which will need to be fixed later.
On the matters of Portals, to be honest I don't really like them and I think we should do something else instead of them.--Ashendant (talk) 16:56, 10 September 2017 (MDT)
By The Way, I created this Article, Lexicanum:Age of Sigmar, to help us plan everything Age of Sigmar related. I suggest we continue this discussion on it's talk page.--Ashendant (talk) 17:06, 10 September 2017 (MDT)

I sent you an email from my gmail with a Lex present. Enjoy! Bigred (talk) 10:57, 28 September 2017 (MDT)

Skaven and organisations in AOS

Before I do the rest of the Skaven for Alliance pages can I just check on naming conventions - are we going for Skaven then clan type for all of them? Also do you think its worth having a category for organisations in AOS?--Viktor (talk) 10:26, 2 October 2017 (MDT).

The naming convention for Factions is whatever GW decides it to be, which I've been using the app as an example. It originally started as "The Clan Pestilens", then they changed it to "Clans Pestilens" before final settling at "Skaven Pestilens". If they decided to rename the faction I will move all related articles and categories to the proper place which will be annoying but doable.
There is already one in Category: Groups. In general for categories you should check this link if it already exist, it's automated list, but I try my best to keep it clean.
I also need to add some of these easy to use links to the Lexicanum: Age of Sigmar project page.--Ashendant (talk) 10:59, 2 October 2017 (MDT)

Ok thanks - yeah thats annoying of GW!--Viktor (talk) 11:51, 2 October 2017 (MDT)

Daemons of Tzeentch / Overlords

Burning Chariots do not have a seperate entry but they are described as specific daemonic entities in the Dicsiples book (p36)

I had not put all the minor characters with little info on the Main page just in the relevant sky ports but I can do so --Viktor (talk) 15:21, 14 October 2017 (MDT)
also Gaunt Summoner has both Mortal (arcanite) and Daemonic keywords - so needs to be in both lists?, same with Tzaangor Shaman and Curseling - is that an issue? --Viktor (talk) 15:30, 14 October 2017 (MDT)
It depends on the context, but from what I can read on the product description an warscroll burning chariots are not actually a type of daemon lorewise. Just a vehicle pulled by screamers and ridden by a herald or a flamer, completely void of personality or name.
For now it would be preferable to keep the list of characters in a faction as complete as possible. At a later time we can make a better solution.
I guide myself by the app when making unit listings, so Gaunt Summoners would be in three factions. But it really depends on the lore context.
Curseling and Tzaangor Shaman only appear Tzeentch Arcanite listing so they should be reserved to that faction unit listing.--Ashendant (talk) 16:20, 14 October 2017 (MDT)
Ok no probs - working on Arcanites at the moment I think many of the Daemon keywords for mortals refer to the Skydisc/Screamer they ride --Viktor (talk) 02:04, 15 October 2017 (MDT)
I am getting alot of messages that the site is not configured correctly? --Viktor (talk) 02:35, 15 October 2017 (MDT)
It likely does. There was a post today that kinda clarified this rulewise. [1]
I sent a message in the forums: [2]. When do you get these messages?--Ashendant (talk) 15:09, 15 October 2017 (MDT)
I don't have a Bell forum account only Dakka, Not sure how that effects the Daemon/ Mortal on some units? --Viktor (talk) 15:18, 15 October 2017 (MDT)
Okay, but when do you get these messages?
This Part:
"For instance, a “Hosts of Slaanesh” army with Hosts of Slaanesh allegiance abilities could include Mortal units with the Slaanesh keyword from Slaves to Darkness, and a Khorne army could mix units from the Khorne Bloodbound list with the Daemons of Khorne list and the Slaves to Darkness. Similarly, a Nurgle army could combine Nurgle Rotbringers, Daemons of Nurgle and even Clans Pestilens units under the Nurgle allegiance abilities."
It indirectly separates keywords from the faction listings, so a unit can have the Mortal and Tzeentch keyword without being part of the Tzeentch Arcanites faction listing.--Ashendant (talk) 15:24, 15 October 2017 (MDT)
I got an alert to say you had sent a message about 10 mins ago. I have read the Warhammer Community post and the faq - which means I need to add the Fated Artefacts armoury from Disciples to Slaves of Darkness as its for Tzeentch mortals, otherwise not sure how it helps us? --Viktor (talk) 15:54, 15 October 2017 (MDT)
Nah don't add it as they are not the same. What it means is that the faction listing of units is separated from keywords.--Ashendant (talk) 16:32, 15 October 2017 (MDT)

Pages

How do you change pagenames - I notice that Hammerhal is currently named Hamerhall thnx --Viktor (talk) 10:41, 20 October 2017 (MDT)

I have administrator powers, so I'm allowed to move and delete pages around. You shouldn't be able to do this until you become one. Just tell me what you want to move and I will do it for you. There's also a template to mark things for moving but I don't remember it right now.
I also would like to note that i have become a bureacrat, so if you want to bring your friends in just tell me and I'll accept their accounts. We are also changing the request account function so it's less intrusive but it will take a while.--Ashendant (talk) 10:46, 20 October 2017 (MDT)

Deamons

Should it include Stormcast? Interestingly in Perstilens - the Slann consider them similar to his own Seraphon - but wereas his creations are "memories" the Stormcast are "Ideals" --Viktor (talk) 10:38, 28 December 2017 (MST)

No as stormcast dont have the daemon keyword. I think the Slann is more commenting on the common Azyrite nature, rather than a daemonic one.
if you find anything to add onto these racial articles please do. They are very, very scarce right now.--Ashendant (talk) 11:28, 28 December 2017 (MST)

Malign Portents

Loads of really great info, images and background here :) Can we put their guide to the Mortal Realms on the front page somehow as its brilliant? https://malignportents.com/realms/ and really good intro to the whole AOS --Viktor (talk) 06:29, 4 January 2018 (MST)

Yeah I saw that. I don't know how to integrate youtube videos so if you can you should do so.
We should try to integrate his explanation into the Mortal Realms article. Feel free to write texts from it.--Ashendant (talk) 06:42, 4 January 2018 (MST)
Off back to work now as lunch hour over but will try and get some done tonight. Looks like you are screengrabbing eh same stuff as me - great minds think alike! --Viktor (talk) 06:50, 4 January 2018 (MST)
Just that particular image that I felt was extremely important.--Ashendant (talk) 06:56, 4 January 2018 (MST)
I used this tool to get it those images right:http://www.youtubescreenshot.com/
I also like that they clarified that the last event in the Age of Myths is the Battle of Burning Skies.--Ashendant (talk) 07:07, 4 January 2018 (MST)

Are we calling the campaign overview Time of Tribulations or Maling Portents? If the former I will copy info over from the MP page I made?--Viktor (talk) 12:23, 10 February 2018 (MST)

Yes, Time of Tribulations is the name of the campaign, like Realmgate Wars. Sort of like an Era. I'm going of course by the statement in the "Why We Fight" post to quote, "The Malign Portents are spreading across the Mortal Realms, as they usher in the Time of Tribulations." Looks like Malign Portents are individual events that happen during these Times, some which repeat themselves plenty of times.--Ashendant (talk) 12:33, 10 February 2018 (MST)

Daughters of Khaine

Do you think we should give Morathi her own AOS page - Morathi Shadow Queen?--Viktor (talk) 10:04, 24 February 2018 (MST)

Yes. Morathi--Ashendant (talk) 12:03, 24 February 2018 (MST)
Will do - do we count her as a deity? GW is a bit contradictory - saying she wants to become one but also When the End Times came and the Mortal Realms were formed, she returned as a goddess and member of Sigmar’s Pantheon of Order, and was vital in Tyrion, Teclis and Malerion’s scheme to imprison Slaanesh ah well.
I think she was state to be a demigoddess.--Ashendant (talk) 12:59, 24 February 2018 (MST)
Yep in the previous focus articles they say that but then the latest for the model release says Goddess - I get the Battletome next week so hopefully clearer.--Viktor (talk) 13:01, 24 February 2018 (MST)
Since her lore states she is trying to suck Khaine's worship into godhood, we will assume she is a demigoddess.--Ashendant (talk) 13:07, 24 February 2018 (MST)

Star-eagles and other birds

Given how sparse the information on... let's say "Azyr avians" for now - are Star-eagles noteworthy enough to have their own subcategory? I don't think it's on the same level as Star-drakes, since we at least know the names of several such individuals, and they're much more likely to stand out in the lore, as opposed to what amounts to falconry buddies. In any case, should we perhaps merge "Star-eagle" and the to-be-made articles of Aetherwings and Star-raptor (see Sanson Farstrider) into a single "Birds of Azyr" article, or at least category? Kimarous (talk) 23:00, 11 April 2018 (MDT)

I've given though about this and yes a Bird of Azyr might help but there are some issues with, for example demigryph and gryph-chargers which might or not be Birds of Azyr. It might also create confusion if GW ever decides to make a "Beasts of Order" faction. On the other hand i'm also trying to group certain types of unit together to make more solid articles as can be seen in the Gorechosen article. To be honest I'm leaving this to the criteria of the writer and i'll fix the redirects myself.
On the categories themselves(that tiny horizontal list on the bottom of every page), I want them to be a specific as possible. This is so we can have an healthy category tree that makes sense, so that shall remain with those specific subcategories.--Ashendant (talk) 05:14, 12 April 2018 (MDT)

"Tzeentch Arcanites" and "Arcanite Cults"

We have a page for the former, whereas the latter has only red links. I'm not quite sure what to do with "Arcanite Cults" that wouldn't just be parroting the "Tzeentch Arcanites" page. Should we maybe just redirect the Arcanite Cults link into Tzeentch Arcanites? (And while we're on the subject, is it safe to assume the Arcanites page is simply an unidentified Arcanite cult?) - Kimarous (talk) 21:29, 16 April 2018 (MDT)

At some point we should split the faction article from the sub-groups articles. Arcanite cults would be ones of these sub-groups, but for now we should just apply redirects.
Yes. When I wrote the Arcanites articles the Grand Alliance: Chaos book wasn't out yet so I didn't know the Tzeentch Arcanites was a faction group. Leave it for now, and i'll deal with it at a later stage.--Ashendant (talk) 08:31, 17 April 2018 (MDT)

Conclaves

I'm thinking of setting up a page - or possibly pages - for the Conclaves of the Stormcast Eternals. I'm not sure if we should have a page for each or if we should do like we did with Chambers, having a single page that covers everything? I'm personally in favour of the latter, as separate pages would be rather brief and would cover most of the same ground, whereas a central page could cover all general information as well as specifics. I'm also thinking that the Conclaves should have lists of which units belong in which conclaves - regular list or table? If the latter, I don't know how to make or edit tables, so either someone else would have to do it or instruct me how to. However, the main question is "separate Conclave pages or one Conclave page covering all four"? --Kimarous (talk) 21:49, 1 June 2018 (MDT)

The Conclaves are in a curious position. First of all when I started this I had decided to have one page for every unit, but this resulted in very small and underwhelming pages, like Liberator. So at a later point I decided that if certain unit pages could be grouped together, they should be done so Forest Folk. So ideally one should grab the articles already written before and use to make them individual Conclave articles, like the Forest Folk example. However I do not know what the Conclaves are by themselves and what units are organised in them so that would definitely help a lot.--Ashendant (talk) 10:06, 2 June 2018 (MDT)
I made a central Conclave page. I hope it is acceptable. --Kimarous (talk) 23:46, 2 June 2018 (MDT)
That's the opposite of what I told you to do... I'll leave it for now, but at some point I'll have to break it down into different pages.--Ashendant (talk) 05:30, 3 June 2018 (MDT)
Apologies for the misunderstanding. --Kimarous (talk) 19:52, 3 June 2018 (MDT)
It's mostly because there's a problem with single-worded pages that might need to be turned into disambiguation pages, because of things like the Stormrift Conclave and it's easier to do so if they are already broken down. I will also will likely have to move the Chamber page into a different page for the same reason, but I'm not splitting that page.--Ashendant (talk) 19:55, 3 June 2018 (MDT)
Speaking of which: Dracothian Guard - separate Concussors into a separate article and turn the latter into an overview / disambig page for Concussors, Desolators, Fulminators, and Tempestors? Should I act or do you want to take care of it? --Kimarous (talk) 20:06, 3 June 2018 (MDT)
No keep it to one page. Make the Dracothian Guard the main page and turn the rest into redirects. We want more articles like Forest Folk and less articles like Crypt Flayers. I'll move the desolators there, but don't have the sources to make the rest.--Ashendant (talk) 20:28, 3 June 2018 (MDT)
Did all the work I could do as quick as possible. Feel free to add it further on Dracothian Guard article.--Ashendant (talk) 20:37, 3 June 2018 (MDT)

Darkelf77, Discord

  • I have no access to Discord now. So please answer me here - may I continue my work with navtabs about White Dwarves?--Darkelf77 (talk)

Yes.--Ashendant (talk) 16:18, 14 August 2018 (MDT)

Realm Magic

I'm planning to set up pages for the realm-specific spells listed in Age of Sigmar: Core Book (2nd Edition) and Malign Sorcery. My only real hesitation is the actual naming of these pages. Each page would be a combination of the singular "Realmsphere Magic" spell for each realm listed in the former and the six "Spells of (Realm)" from the latter. Should I name it something like (using Aqshy for example) "Realm Magic: Aqshy", "Realm Lore: Aqshy", "Lore of Aqshy", etc.? Should I maybe just make a master list of "Spells of the Realms"? I think it's worthwhile to categorize all these universal spells, but the critical foundation of the page name eludes me.--Kimarous (talk) 11:33, 18 August 2018 (MDT)

I'll check the issue more in-depth like in an hour, but for now go with Lore of Aqshy and when we decide a better name i'll just move the articles.--Ashendant (talk) 13:51, 18 August 2018 (MDT)
I've made a Lore of Aqshy page and will proceed with the other realms now.--Kimarous (talk) 13:58, 18 August 2018 (MDT)
I noticed a section in Malign Sorcery covering some Edge of Realm stuff in Aqshy - spells that can be learned by the general of one's army, even if they aren't a wizard (so strong the Bright magic in such a region, apparently). Should such spells be added to the Lore of Aqshy page?--Kimarous (talk) 23:06, 22 August 2018 (MDT)
I think it should. Add it there. Also if you can and want to please make a Magic articles. It's one that's sorely needed.--Ashendant (talk) 05:47, 23 August 2018 (MDT)

Warhammer Adventures

Do we include this as canon? [3] --Viktor (talk) 13:23, 25 September 2018 (MDT)

Yes, we need to include Warhammer Adventures in this wikipedia. However we should treat it as a different canon under it's own section, by having it's articles have it's own section and warning template. It would be like the Warhammer Legends section or "sub-wiki".
Through to be honest I doubt the wisdom of starting this now. As you can see here, the split for the Fantasy wiki has been greenlighted and while there are no issues with continue to fixing and adding new articles to the main "AoS" section of the wiki, I think it might be best to wait for when the split happens to start any "sub-wiki".
If you do want to start creating Warhammer Adventures articles feel free and i'll make sure they have their own categories.--Ashendant (talk) 14:37, 25 September 2018 (MDT)
Thats fine - I thought it might be a source of some characters for categories that have low population but will leave it for now :) --Viktor (talk) 14:40, 25 September 2018 (MDT)
Ah no, in that particular case it might be best to keep it in it's own categories. Like for example: Category: Warhammer Adventure characters. That way we avoid mixing "the canons" per say. Feel free to continue your edits as you want. When the split happens i'll warn you.--Ashendant (talk) 15:01, 25 September 2018 (MDT)

Godbeasts

My copy of 2nd ed book has the Lode-Gryphon as the Lode-Griffon? Is it spelled different somewhere else (GW does that sometimes) - if not can we change the page name? ta --Viktor (talk) 13:52, 27 September 2018 (MDT)

No that's my bad actually. I guess I defaulted to the regular name, rather then the GW copyrightable name. :P --Ashendant (talk) 16:06, 27 September 2018 (MDT)

Characters without a subfaction

Made a list page for characters which belong to a Grand Alliance but not a sub faction (currently) - is that ok? --Viktor (talk) 12:56, 4 October 2018 (MDT)

It needs a bit of work, but for now it's okay. When I start splitting the lexi i will give it a proper look to everything in the lexi.--Ashendant (talk) 06:22, 5 October 2018 (MDT)
Nevermind. I fixed the issues. I need to get a lot less lazy with this stuff, even if i'm waiting for the split to happen.--Ashendant (talk) 06:45, 5 October 2018 (MDT)

Fleetmasters

Although the various Scourge charaters are descrivbed in the text and even the back of the novella as Fleetmasters only Zarkland actually has a Black Ark. Also the novel tends to use Scourge as a shorthand for the faction - including by the characters. Lots more to come from the Novella --Viktor (talk) 16:05, 10 November 2018 (MST)

Black Ark Fleetmasters are the only type of Fleetmasters we know for, so for now we'll assume all fleetmasters are that kind. That way it will be easier to update when Scourge Privateers gets an update and potentially adds more fleetmasters or gives them new names.
I'm not sure if I should make it a redirect and add a note on the Scourge Privateers, or make it their own article. I'm leaning more towards the first.
As you create articles you need to add a lot more links to other articles. You usually miss some of them.--Ashendant (talk) 16:22, 10 November 2018 (MST)
re Fleemasters - hmm ok, its a bit misleading but if you like. re articles - I try to make it so that I can fill in the links as I go along and not leave alot of dead ends.....but will make sure I do more. --Viktor (talk) 16:31, 10 November 2018 (MST)
It's better to go back and fix it if we have them consolidated in one place, than if they are not. In essence this will likely be a Mage-Sacristan situation.
It's extremely preferable to leave a lot of red links that can be filled at a later, than having to go back and hunt the places where links need to be added. Leaving red links also allows to see what is missing or needing redirects in the following link [4].--Ashendant (talk) 16:50, 10 November 2018 (MST)

Troggoth

Should we merge the faction and race pages as they have the same name? --Viktor (talk) 05:29, 19 January 2019 (MST)

No, we should keep them separate. The main reason is because Bile Troggoths are a thing, besides a number of problems that come with having a race and faction page sharing the same name. These problems are shared with the Sylvaneth and Seraphon page that will need to be deal with... later.--Ashendant (talk) 14:36, 19 January 2019 (MST)

Test Drive

Hi Ashendant, So I directly edit my message here?--Walash (talk) 15:36, 30 November 2018 (MST)

Yes but if you start a new topic don't forget to put it under it's own section--Ashendant (talk) 15:38, 30 November 2018 (MST)

Morghur as minor Chaos God?

The Beasts of Chaos Battletome states that some Beasts specially that of the Gavespawn Greatfray worship Morghur as a God and want to see it ascend beyond all the Chaos Gods. Not sure where to put it so adding this here. The quotes are,

"The Gavespawn worship an entity known as Morghur – the Great Devolver and Bringer of Mutation. A being of the Realm of Chaos, Morghur manifested himself in the world-that-was many times, spreading disorder and corruption wherever he walked and reforming the land to mirror his own dark visions. Though that world was destroyed, Morghur’s essence persisted, and through cracks in the veil between realities has seeped steadily into the wilds of the Mortal Realms. To the beasts of the Gavespawn, the most blessed creations of Morghur are the Chaos Spawn – those mutated aberrations that writhe uncontrollably in places redolent with warping energy. In these supremely mutated creatures, the Gavespawn see their god’s degenerate will brought into being. As such, when the bodies of the Greatfray’s mightiest champions are hacked and hewn in battle, they are sometimes given the Gift of Morghur, and are reborn as Chaos Spawn. There are an inordinate number of Bray-Shamans amongst the Gavespawn, and their fell ravings become even more profane when their twisted god visits prophecies upon them. These Bray- Shamans steer the stampedes of their beastherds, leading them on wending warpaths to butcher and wreak ruin, and with each vile act of desecration they tear greater rents in the fabric of reality. As more raw Chaos energy pours into the Mortal Realms, the shamans foresee a time when Morghur will not only manifest himself once more, but will be raised up to the Chaos pantheon above all of the other Dark Gods. It is for this reason that many other Greatfrays are wary of the Gavespawn, for where most Beasts of Chaos seek to erode the barriers between the Realm of Chaos and the Mortal Realms, the Gavespawn wish to reduce all of existence to a seething primordial sludge, through which Morghur’s essence can flow unhindered."

The section is LEGENDARY DESECRATORS pg. 22-27. - UMDP (talk) 07:12, 3 February 2019 (MST)

In this case you create two articles, one called Morghur and another called Gavespawn. I'm working on these two articles right now, feel free to add any more info to them once I'm finished.--Ashendant (talk) 12:09, 3 February 2019 (MST)
I developed these two articles + Chaos Spawn in the Mortal Realms as much as I could with what you gave me. If you could add any more extra information I would be very grateful.--Ashendant (talk) 12:43, 3 February 2019 (MST)

Prayers of the Mortal Realms

I get the impression that Prayers needs an overhaul. I think this should be a central hub of all Prayer lists, like the only one currently on this site, Prayers of the Khainite Cult. Should I take some time to add a Prayers list for the Stormcast Eternals, linking it to the Stormcast main page as well?

Also, what should be the tabs? A List of Spells and Prayers index exists, as does a Prayers index. Looks to me like early-setup disorganization. --Kimarous (talk) 15:28, 8 February 2019 (MST)

Yeah it's mostly likely early set-up disorganization. And yes Prayers should be the hub for all prayers. I moved somethings around from the List of Spells and Prayers, but i'll leave the category up for now. Since I will review everything after the split Ill consider it at that moment.
Feel free to add Prayer list under the Prayer category, and link it to the coresponding faction main page.--Ashendant (talk) 16:05, 8 February 2019 (MST)
Regarding the Blades of Khorne, the Slaughterpriests have exclusive "Bloodfueled Prayers" and a separate table for all Khorne Priests (so including Khorne-marked Chaos Warshrines) is "Blood Blessings of Khorne". Should I count them as separate prayer tabs or combine them into a single tab as I did with the SE's Prayers of the Stormhosts - and if the latter, which title should I use as the page header? Maybe a general "Prayers to Khorne" with hotlinks to the specific subsection? --Kimarous (talk) 20:16, 8 February 2019 (MST)
Separate them. If they are different spell lores/prayer lists with a different name keep them separate.--Ashendant (talk) 21:02, 8 February 2019 (MST)
It's less of a list and more of a Warscroll ability that's also technically a prayer to Khorne. Kimarous (talk) 21:39, 8 February 2019 (MST)
Put them in the List of Prayers.--Ashendant (talk) 22:10, 8 February 2019 (MST)
Thanks!--Ashendant (talk) 14:17, 9 February 2019 (MST)

Flesh Eater Courts Battletome

Should that be 2019 rather than 2018 as its only just come out.--Viktor (talk) 08:47, 25 February 2019 (MST)

Correct. It's easy to make stupid mistakes like this. I will correct it now.--Ashendant (talk) 09:04, 25 February 2019 (MST)
I do it all the time :( Is the new Battletome worth getting, I play a lot less these days so tend to only buy if there is a good amount of fluff? --Viktor (talk) 09:53, 25 February 2019 (MST)
It happens, don't worry about it. I don't really have the book I just find random pages as images spread around the web and sometimes I post the info in them.--Ashendant (talk) 10:04, 25 February 2019 (MST)

Renaming Battletome year titles

It looks like some Battletome page titles haven't been renamed with the release year while the names have been updated in the Publications page creating red links despite Battletome pages existing. The pages are, [[Battletome: Seraphon]], [[Battletome: Fyreslayers]], [[Battletome: Everchosen]],[[Battletome: Chaos Dreadhold]], [[Battletome: Ironjawz]] [[Battletome: Sylvaneth]], [[Battletome: Bonesplitterz]],[[Battletome: Stormcast Eternals Extremis]], [[Battletome: Dominion of Chaos]], [[Battletome: Beastclaw Raiders]], [[Battletome: Disciples of Tzeentch]], [[Battletome: Kharadron Overlords]], [[Battletome: Maggotkin of Nurgle]], [[Battletome: Daughters of Khaine]], [[Battletome: Idoneth Deepkin]]

Thanks. - UMDP (talk) 10:25, 25 February 2019 (MST)

Yeah I know. The problem with moving these is that will also have revise every single "What Links Here" for every individual battletome and edit it accordingly(Ex: Special:WhatLinksHere/Battletome:_Disciples_of_Tzeentch), create disambiguation pages and that's a lot of work. Which is another thing I've been postponing until the split happens. Right now I'm not able to do it, but when I come back in a few hours, I'll atleast move every article to a new page.--Ashendant (talk) 10:49, 25 February 2019 (MST)
That should be all of them moved.--Ashendant (talk) 13:25, 25 February 2019 (MST)

Publications

Once I have finished with Middenheim page upgrade I was thinking about sorting out a Publications page for the World that Was books etc in a similar vein to the current one for AOS or is this something to wait until the Split (I don't know exactly what that entails). --Viktor (talk) 04:52, 27 February 2019 (MST)

You can do it now, but the format needs to be changed. The current AoS version has a few problems that i'm going to fix after the split. I suggest you keep them separate by type (tabletop rulebooks, novels, rpg rulebooks). Here is a little something to help you with that: [5] --Ashendant (talk) 07:03, 27 February 2019 (MST)
Unfortunately the link does not work? --Viktor (talk) 10:59, 27 February 2019 (MST)
Sorry the link got mixed in with part of the username. It should work now.--Ashendant (talk) 13:13, 27 February 2019 (MST)
Wow thats very cool! thanks--Viktor (talk) 13:39, 27 February 2019 (MST)

I have a lot of the old Warhammer Monthly comics - looking at scanning covers and doing similar to the Town Cryer article - should I start a new "comic" category in media? --Viktor (talk) 11:52, 13 August 2019 (MDT)

Feel free.--Ashendant (talk) 12:48, 13 August 2019 (MDT)

Skaven Clans

Hey :) - looks like I'll need to create a seperate Clan Rictus in the World that was and the Mortal Realms - are we going with Clan Rictus or just Rictus for it and the others? --Viktor (talk) 14:47, 9 March 2019 (MST)

Ah looks like I was a bit behind - sorry --Viktor (talk) 14:49, 9 March 2019 (MST)

Judgments of Khorne List

We are going to need a list for Judgments of Khorne similar to Endless Spells and if possible an article as well. I will try get the relevant parts of the new Khorne battletome soon. - UMDP (talk) 10:24, 30 March 2019 (MDT)

I don't think I'm going to make an entirely new list just for Judgements of Khorne, which would also mean making another list for Magmatic Invocations. I think i'll just add a "equivalent" list to the List of Endless Spells. However the Judgement of Khorne and Magmatic Invocation pages will have such small lists.--Ashendant (talk) 12:48, 30 March 2019 (MDT)
Ok. - UMDP (talk) 13:02, 30 March 2019 (MDT)

Images

For some reason when I go to try and add a category to the High Elf Army book cover image I just uploaded it won't let me log in to that page? --Viktor (talk) 11:29, 27 April 2019 (MDT)

We recently changed servers to Cloudflare and it sometimes detects errors that are not there. The tech guy is onto it. But we need you to take a screenshort of the error page, with IP address and error code on the bottom, and post it here. I'll delete it afterwards after sending the image to the technical guys. Or if you have Discord you can also send it through there.--Ashendant (talk) 11:40, 27 April 2019 (MDT)
Ok but it doesn;t give any errors - just looks ike I am locked out, when I click on log in nothing happens? Sorry I don't know what Discord is. --Viktor (talk) 11:58, 27 April 2019 (MDT)
So you're saying you're automatically logged out when you try to do an edit? Discord is a chat program mostly used for gaming you can find the link here: https://discordapp.com/ To access out server you can click Discord Server on the menu in the Community section beneath Forums.--Ashendant (talk) 12:13, 27 April 2019 (MDT)
Sort of - even if I open it in a second window with another window open where I am logged in (and can still edit) I can't that page --Viktor (talk) 12:22, 27 April 2019 (MDT)
I did the edit for you and had no problems. I'll send this conversation to the Tech Guy. Tell me if you experience anything similar.--Ashendant (talk) 12:35, 27 April 2019 (MDT)
Wil do - interestingly that page is still blocked to me,--Viktor (talk) 12:42, 27 April 2019 (MDT)
To try and locate and isolate the issue on the logs we would need screenshots of what exactly you're seeing, together with your username, IP address, country and time, computer or phone type and what operating system and browser you are using. If you can please provide these.--Ashendant (talk) 11:51, 28 April 2019 (MDT)
Sorry I am not comfortable giving out that level of personal information

Hosts of Slaanesh to Hedonites of Slaanesh

Should the Hosts of Slaanesh be renamed as Hedonites of Slaanesh considering the faction has been mostly revamped? - UMDP (talk) 07:08, 9 May 2019 (MDT)

The Hedonites of Slaanesh faction is weird. It doesn't include any of the Mortal Heroes so we would have to remove all Chaos Lord of Slaanesh from the Hosts lists and have nowhere to put them, if we decide to change the name. For now we'll leave it be and go ack to it once again about it after the split, mostly because we have to consider the united chaos factions too(Blades, Maggotkin and Disciples).--Ashendant (talk) 10:01, 9 May 2019 (MDT)
Also might be worth waiting till they have brought our the FAQs for Hedonites, there is a similar position for the Skaven Clans as the main keywords have changed. --Viktor (talk) 10:04, 9 May 2019 (MDT)
Theres' another important issue here, the fact that Daemons of Slaanesh, although not directly stated, are a faction in Age of Sigmar, but the Mortals of Slaanesh themselves don't have a name. This is honestly the bigger issue with the whole Slaanesh faction debacle. If anybody has any suggestions I would gladly hear them.--Ashendant (talk) 13:57, 9 May 2019 (MDT)

About the info dumps

So about the copy and pasting. I visited the fyreslayer and sylvaneth pages, And I did not think there was a enough there to really explain who or what these two faction are. Now I have most of the digital battletomes, But i'm not that good or fast of a writer and I struggle to find different ways of saying the something sometimes. The plane was to just get the info on the site and change it up overtime.--Xking (talk) 03:28, 15 March 2020 (UTC)

That is a bad idea and only makes it harder for everyone including you. There is no need to be a good writer and there is not much "writing" to do. The Battletome is not in Wiki format and most of it is junk that should be edited out. So when you copy-paste spam you mix the entire thing alongside the junk and then dump it on the page which makes sorting things into the right headings much harder. now we need to remove the unnecessary parts, re-read the whole thing and reorganise the entire article into proper headings again. ,Editing is easy and this is what I do,
First you need to read the entire article and see where everything should go. Then copy-paste ONLY the relevant paras from the battletome into the relevant heading. Do not create several headings that mean the same thing. Then delete all the unnecessary junk like excessive descriptions etc etc. Extensive descriptions and flowery language should be removed in most articles but in articles about events and places some descriptions are needed. Then combine and separate sentences and re-write flowery words. What is being done is summarisation so its really easy. There is no need to write essays, just summarise whats in the battletome and put in under the relevant heading.
Do the same thing section by section until everything is finished. That way is much easier and quicker. You don't need to write much just copy-paste the relevant para, erase a lot and then re-write some words, change sentences and done. You will get a hang of it. Thanks - UMDP (talk) 06:49, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
I agree with UMDP, but will also offer an alternative. If you want to do info-dumps and then work it overtime, dump it in the article talk page and slowly work on transferring it to the page piece by piece while rewritting it. Have it properly sourced so that others can also contribute.
Please do not dump large amounts of info-dumps at a time. There's still the issue of possibly triggering copyright laws.
I would also reccommend you don't do this on big faction pages and focus on small unit pages. They are easy to do and you will gain practice.--Ashendant (talk) 13:41, 15 March 2020 (UTC)

Alright, from now on I will focus more on small unit pages. And info-dumps will go into the discussion pages.--Xking (talk) 00:07, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

That's fine by me, just don't leave too many infodumps unprocessed.--Ashendant (talk) 23:49, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

The Ossiarch Empire map

So I have the Ossiarch Bonereapers battletome and I know you like maps. How do you get the map from the battletome to the site. The map is already split in half and this map is big, even with the sniping tool. I could up load it in parts, but --Xking (talk) 05:54, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

Hmm, you can upload it in parts and I'll stich them together. Just make sure each piece is of highest quality you can.--Ashendant (talk) 14:07, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

Do you mind if they are rotated on their side? I'm go to try to get the best quality, but you will have to rotate them back up.--Xking (talk) 20:29, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

I don't mind.--Ashendant (talk) 22:26, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
All three parts are uploaded, There are also other maps in the mawtribes and tzeentch books --Xking (talk) 02:39, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
One thing at the time.--Ashendant (talk) 18:49, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

Alright I wont upload the tzeentch map, but I already uploaded the mawtribes map in two parts "Hammerhal ghyra viridian fields" map. and did part 1 of the Ogor mawtribes info dump --Xking (talk) 21:34, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

Do you want a map of the Spiral Crux? also mawtribes info dump is done, will add units later.--Xking (talk) 12:40, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
I still need to make the Viridian Fields map and edit the Fyreslayers stuff. Wait until I finish 1 map before uploading a new one.
I'm also going to have to select the infodump for the Ogor Mawtribes. A lot of these belong in the Beastclaw Raiders and the Gutbusters pages.
When it comes to the units don't do a infodump. Take your time and rewrite the information into your own words.--Ashendant (talk) 19:47, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

Kharadron Overlords and Ossiarch Bonereapers info dumps are done. --Xking (talk) 14:53, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

Okay cool. Also check this link to see what you are doing wrong in the unit article. 1.--Ashendant (talk) 15:55, 21 April 2020 (UTC)


the ads

Please make the ads stop, they are blocking the buttons. --Xking (talk) 00:58, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

Can you send me a screenshot of the offending ad?--Ashendant (talk) 14:58, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

It does not even show up, just the little ad box(from the top left corner of other ads) and then you can't click of the buttons. --Xking (talk) 01:18, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

I really need a screenshot with the Little Ad Box, otherwise they won't understand what the issue is.--Ashendant (talk) 20:26, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
