I really need your help Logantp (talk) 00:19, August 18, 2015 (UTC)Logantp

Dude remove the second warn on my page. It wasnt you I accidently Copy and Pasted didn't know what it would do.

Relation within original queens and broodmother
It's ambiguous, but in Heroes of the Storm, the backstory for the "broodmother flight" states: "Abathur's alterations of the Queen essences suppressed their flight in order to improve their abilities to care for the Hive. Of course, this does not extend to Broodmothers"

We got then, that Abathur actually helped with the creation of the second generation of queens, by himself suppressed the flight on them to use improve a field he believed more important, then we have the clarification that the alteration didn't prevent the broodmothers to fly... of course its "visually obvious", but this mean we have a real connection on the queens and broodmothers? oh... and broodmothers can fly too, or at least some of them.

I don't really know if its worth adding, or how to add it in an organic way to the articles if it is. CombatMagic (talk) 05:54, August 23, 2015 (UTC)


 * About Abathur Always had the impression that the order of his alliage...allages...alligances? he was controlled in this order: created by the Overmind first (????), after its dead he became feral (2500), Queen of Blades found and controlled him (c. 2501, as he helped with the creation of the new queens), he was feral again rejecting Zagara (Late 2504-Early 2505), aaand then again under control (or just following) the Kerrigan's Swarm.


 * I kind of remember he saying "served Overmind, then served Queen of Blades, now serve you" or something around that line... CombatMagic (talk) 08:07, August 23, 2015 (UTC)

waste
There is a ton of achievements for beating several difficulties of AI, both solo, and co op... I just now figure that maybe adding a redirection to every single one is not really necessary like "4v4 vs Medium AI Kin"... Will mark the redirections for deletion... only "Medium AI", "Harder AI", etc. should stay with redirections, just asking for you or somebody else to delete the redirections once its done... CombatMagic (talk) 03:43, August 25, 2015 (UTC)
 * Also going to put all co op's achivs on a single article too... CombatMagic (talk) 03:45, August 25, 2015 (UTC)
 * Doing a test on a sandbox, its not really that much of a change... there are so many links that are really unnecessary, and it would just get rid of them... but yeah I'll ask him in a bit. CombatMagic (talk) 04:02, August 25, 2015 (UTC)

First comment in that video, Carbot says that. I don't know how to edit templates.

Gaming footers
Hi, Hawki!

A user added StarCraft to the list of sites to be included in the new gaming footers. I didn't get the impression this came from this community, though, so wanted to run it by you guys first before I hopped on here and added it to your main page and/or kept it in the Strategy footer.

Allied Commanders
As detailed here, the latest patch includes a lot of data for the abilities of said Commanders, most complete with tooltip and unique UI icons. I leave it to you if you want me to add the info here or not. DrakeyC (talk) 20:26, October 7, 2015 (UTC)


 * Check. DrakeyC (talk) 13:49, October 8, 2015 (UTC)

Artie is done. Some of the talents have numbers marking the ability tier they are, but others don't, so I can't put them in proper order, unfortunately. Also it's only the UI buttons and tooltips I can find, so no energy costs, cooldowns, etc.

If there's any problems, lemme know and I'll give them up tonight, otherwise I'll move ahead with the other five over the weekend. DrakeyC (talk) 15:16, October 8, 2015 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately, I have no idea. Given how there seems to be a level system at play, I'd guess (but it's just a guess) that the commanders can level up and get new stuff at each level, and in that some are passives for them or their army, some are new units and upgrades, and some are selectable abilities. Like, the Fleet Beacon upgrades icon is called "Talent-Artanis-Level12-FleetBeaconResearchBundle," which is the naming scheme most icons use. But then, I don't know (maybe Blizzard has said? I'm behind on the news) if these abilities are unlocked automatically at each level, if you need to select between them like a campaign upgrade, or what. DrakeyC (talk) 15:06, October 9, 2015 (UTC)

I'm very sorry about this, but Wiki's anti-spam isn't doing it. I need most of the templates in Category:StarCraft II Allied Commanders ability and upgrade boxes renamed, please: I realized I named them poorly too late and intended to change the "SC2" part of the template to "AC." DrakeyC (talk) 17:55, October 11, 2015 (UTC)

Am done. I did not do Raynor, though, because I'm almost certain that his stuff has a lot of beta in it and I can't tell what. He has two of several of his buttons for no reason I can tell, has several more buttons than the other five even ignoring the dups, and he has two "Talent Level 6" buttons for different things. Otherwise, it's all good, if you could kindly move the above templates, I'm ready to have AWB change the appropriate coding on pages for them. :) DrakeyC (talk) 21:50, October 11, 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm not exactly sure what needs to be done, but I have time today. What do the templates need to be renamed to? Most of them have SC2 and AC in the name. PSH aka Kimera 757 (talk) contribs 13:14, October 12, 2015 (UTC)

Minor Trivia Question
The primal zergling, primal ultralisk, Brakk, ravazor, and tyrannozor, all use the same modified base model. Is that something worth noting on all their articles? DrakeyC (talk) 18:10, November 5, 2015 (UTC)


 * Check, thanks. DrakeyC (talk) 18:56, November 6, 2015 (UTC)

Fenix/Purifier Fenix content deleted
Why did you delete that content when it is clear proof of a Fenix reappearance? The Mission objectives/ achievements also contribute to that. He is going to be a playable charakter in LotV. Check the game client.

I see that there is a lot of unknown stuff about the purifier tribe/faction... whatever they call themselves. But that doesn't change the fact, that fenix will come back in a purifier form. I also said that this will need further writing after LotV release.

It is like creating all the "Mission pages" for like the slayn missions that are not even called slayn missions according to the in-game client. So please explain yourself.

regards ShiQuRas

LotV
Given the flood of edits likely to be coming, shall I get to work adding stuffs where I can now, or let it die back down and clean up what others have done? DrakeyC (talk) 02:23, November 11, 2015 (UTC)


 * Check. I'll start with the unit pages; I figure the casual editors will be more interested in the lore than the gameplay elements. DrakeyC (talk) 04:07, November 11, 2015 (UTC)

For now I made/cleaned up pages for the zealot variants, the Aiur zealot, Centurion, and Sentinel. Lemme know if there's any problems that need to be fixed moving ahead, I won't be doing more until the weekend. DrakeyC (talk) 19:26, November 11, 2015 (UTC)

Also, how's this looking for War council? DrakeyC (talk) 19:57, November 11, 2015 (UTC)

Sorry, me again. The Mothership in the LotV campaign is significantly different from the normal Mothership, and has the abilities Black Hole, Thermal Lance, and Blink. The Mothership in the campaign comes from the Tal'darim. However, there's also specifically "Tal'darim Motherships" as units to hunt in one level, with their own stats and abilities. And then of course there's the Executor's Mothership back from WoL.

So, how should these be organized tag-wise? DrakeyC (talk) 21:42, November 14, 2015 (UTC)

Yes: the campaign mothership has entirely different stats, as well as a different model. DrakeyC (talk) 00:07, November 15, 2015 (UTC)

One thing I should have thought of before; is proper team colors a concern for images? this is how the Tal'darim immortals look, but this is how their immortals look under the player's control with the team colors changed. Do we need both, or no? I don't particular prefer one way or the other, just wanna check. DrakeyC (talk) 06:05, November 17, 2015 (UTC)


 * Check on the galleries. The Vanguard image (second one) can be deleted then; I'll check for others. DrakeyC (talk) 13:40, November 17, 2015 (UTC)

Interpretation?
I'm not sure what you mean by we need to keep to the writer's interpretation. It's a cut and dry scene, she walks in and asks if Raynor's ready to leave. What is there to interpret?--&#123;&#123;SUBST:User:Whitedragon254/SigX&#125;&#125; (talk) 23:02, November 14, 2015 (UTC)

Umojan Units arts and so on
Nosferoh (talk) 08:23, November 17, 2015 (UTC) It seems to me that Umojan Army style skin of Bama Kowalski is a remarkable moment. It may be that Umojan Protectorate Siege tank looks like this vesion of Crucio tank. I think we shall add this fact and a screenshot in some page. I really like their military technologies design. So it'll be good to collect every information, screenshot and conceptart of Units looking alike Umojan Army.

P.S. Sorry for my english. I hope there are not too much mistakes and you understand what I mean. Nosferoh (talk) 08:23, November 17, 2015 (UTC)

Image Moves
I'm sorry, I got sloppy with my achievement work. A few images for them need moving.


 * File:BrothersInArms SC2-LotV Icon3.jpg needs to moved to "File:SkyShield SC2-LotV AchieveIcon3.jpg"
 * File:SkyShieldForAiur SC2-LotV Icon2.jpg needs to moved to "File:SkyShield SC2-LotV AchieveIcon2.jpg"
 * File:SkyShieldSC2-LotVIcon1.jpg needs to moved to "File:SkyShield SC2-LotV AchieveIcon1.jpg"
 * File:TempleOfUnificationd SC2-LotV AchieveIcon2.jpg to :File:TempleOfUnification SC2-LotV AchieveIcon2.jpg

Citation
I've stated in previous edits that I don't know how to create NEW references for sourcing information. I can reference existing sourcing information easily enough but 9 times out of 10 any new edits I make now are based off new releases of information, specifically Legacy of the Void scenes AND the new Starcraft Field Manual. If you can point more to somewhere with proper instructions on the matter I'll take a look but I also leave specific references in every edit I make now, right down to the page number, that YOU can use to insert the new reference citation I can't currently make. --KrimzonStriker (talk) 22:07, November 27, 2015 (UTC)

Re: Short Story Edits
Thanks! I'm still fairly new to wikia formatting and have just been going off of other pages, so if you catch anything else like that please let me know. Better to do it while making the articles than to go back.

In regards to the dates on LV/Momentum, for some reason I thought that they were made between WoL and HotS but now I'm realizing even then that doesn't exclude them from being in 2505. My only logic with Momentum was Mengsk mentioning early in HotS that the protoss pulled back from Dominion space, but that also doesn't exclude it from being in 2505 necessarily. So later today or tomorrow I'll go back and get that fixed. Subsourian (talk) 22:17, December 4, 2015 (UTC)

Trolling
I am honoured that you have perfected my page about Naszar, and that you have banished my mistakes from that page of mine. I did not expect to have my first page *edited* by the Admin of 'Starcraft Wiki', Hawki.

*Edited is apparrently a word, according to the internet.*

Patch 3.1 Notes
Would it be cool to add to it's page changes that Patch 3.1 made that aren't in the official release? Artanis got several adjustments in Co-op they didn't mention. DrakeyC (talk) 22:34, December 20, 2015 (UTC)

Files deletion
May I ask you to delete 2 unused voice actors's photos (Soyeon.jpg, Park Seong Tae.jpg)? Since these files are already uploaded and now used in Korean StarCraft Wikia, so they are no longer need to exist in here. --Tlaqh1335 (talk) 06:26, January 6, 2016 (UTC)

Moderator
I only bring it up because I was previously made a mod for this reason. A friend told me that Wikia added a new staff rank, Content Moderator, which has the power to move files to new names. Could I request a move to that position, please? DrakeyC (talk) 21:33, January 15, 2016 (UTC)


 * Check, will do. DrakeyC (talk) 22:30, January 15, 2016 (UTC)

Dominion color
Hey, I wanted discuss about the Dominion color. I think they changed color to blue, because even in the Epilogue they are blue in 2nd and 3rd mission (and they are labbed "Dominion" not "Raynor's Raiders"), and in the final cinematic you can see the UNN now have the color themed blue instead of red, all things that show the Dominion color is changed--PRISON KEEPER (talk) 12:53, February 15, 2016 (UTC)

Quotations Article Lock
Admin, It seems the community had very troublesome for the the quotations article. Where none of the people are willing to write. I try the best I can for doing so. However now, we had Anonymous user come and fix everything and disrupting a lot of those stuff and removing even thought the game character had originally stated. I do not wish to ask you to this. But can you please lock all the articles for the quotations to prevent Anonymous ever try to edit it. Stoudemire18 (talk) 10:52, February 18, 2016 (UTC)

Re: Lockwell's Twitter
Good catch, you're right about the dates. I'll sweep through and fix that. Subsourian (talk) 11:38, March 23, 2016 (UTC)

Field Manual Source Info
Sorry this took so long to respond, haven't been logged on to wikia in a while. I disagree with your assertion this took place after LoTV though. Them knowing about the Spear was a result of a deep cover infiltration, certainly the Daelaam had archived information regarding the sphere as Artanis was getting ready to reactivate it during the Reclamation of Aiur before Amon showed up. Given the Spear also saw action on Korhal the incredulous comments by the Marines don't fit timeline wise because of its confirmed existence by then. Also Artanis' age of being under 275 comes off as guesstimate, there's wiggle room in years especially given how how little 8 or so means to Protoss lifespans and comes off as lacking of surity which fits since the Terrans wouldn't typically know his precise age anyway, plus 275 is a nice convenient round number to base an estimate off of. And the ceasefire works fine in terms of how it gels, it helps guarantee a free back for Artanis' from any potential Terran distraction during the Reclamation of Aiur because he knows it'll hold since the Terrans are weak at this time along with his friend Raynor being in a place of power there now. The final negotiations during the epilogue was on a full peace treaty anyway, there's certainly a difference between a cease-fire and a peace treaty as the two Korea's can a test to since they're still technically at war and claim sovereignty over the whole peninsula from the other. Not to mention how the Tal'Darim are still cited as being on Slayn and acknowledged as hostile, along with a desire by marines to shoot Kerrigan's leviathan still, oh and how the manual keeps treating the zerg as a main enemy when by Covert Ops Matt and Valerian are trying to discourage that view publicly--KrimzonStriker (talk) 04:11, April 2, 2016 (UTC)

templates
Dont know who's in charge of this. After patch 3.3.0 many templates texts are outdated, but there is template:CoopChainReaction and template:ACKerriganChainReaction, and many other overlapping/redundant templates located under the incorrectly named Category:StarCraft II Allied Commanders ability and upgrade boxes. Which are the correct templates and formats? --Falconeye (talk) 22:57, May 25, 2016 (UTC)


 * Took care of that dup, which other ones need to be looked at? DrakeyC (talk) 00:53, May 26, 2016 (UTC)


 * Thank you. So I was correct in the assumption that "Coop" was the correct terminology. Templates under entire Category:StarCraft II Allied Commanders ability and upgrade boxes and sub-categories should be looked at; 90% using the "AC" term. Surprised no one noticed after 6 months. --Falconeye (talk) 04:06, May 26, 2016 (UTC)


 * They should indeed be moved and I can get a bot to take care of that once I have my desktop back, but I meant what "Are there any more dup templates" that need to be sorted out. DrakeyC (talk) 00:45, May 27, 2016 (UTC)

Soft Redirect
A user made a template named such on Overwatch. Do we need such a thing? DrakeyC (talk) 01:38, June 3, 2016 (UTC)


 * Personally I don't think it's necessary as those articles usually already link to the respective sister wikis. But if we do keep it we really should make something that doesn't look so out of place. Subsourian (talk) 05:11, June 3, 2016 (UTC)


 * I've removed it. The user doesn't appear to be actual Wikia staff, and it's redundant due to the external link at the bottom.--Hawki (talk) 09:05, June 3, 2016 (UTC)

Battle Articles
Wanted to make sure before I went ahead on making them, since I don't think we ever established a clear answer. Are we going to go ahead with battle articles for LotV, or does it cross over too much with the mission articles? I figured that battle articles were for when there's more then one source outside the game (like Battle of Korhal for HotS in its aftermath section), since we have a lot of WoL and HotS not covered by them. I guess this can be applied to a lot of battle articles in general, at what point do you think a mission article warrants a split into a battle article? Subsourian (talk) 13:18, July 2, 2016 (UTC)


 * If we're counting co-op you could make the argument that Into the Void also probably deserves its own battle article because of Lock & Load, but other then that that seems good. As soon as I finish up the last few Spectres articles I'll work on that. Subsourian (talk) 14:43, July 2, 2016 (UTC)

Categories for Factions
Looking through some older talk pages on the matter it looks like this might a commonly treaded suggestion, but I was wondering what your and the other admin's thoughts were on starting up on doing categories for factions (Confederacy, Dominion, UED, etc). General comments I read seem to say that it'd be welcome provided it doesn't end up getting half done, but I'd like to get a thumbs up before I start on it. Subsourian (talk) 17:35, July 6, 2016 (UTC)


 * Oh yeah sorry should have been clear, I was referring to characters getting faction categories. I sort of did that with the Moebius Foundation/Corps, but yeah for the Dominion/Confederacy that'd be pretty huge. I realize that'd be a huge endeavor but I honestly don't mind dumping a week or so to do it after I finish up the last few major story articles. The only problem I see is situations like the Axiom Corporation, where it's not clear if the characters of the company are Dominion citizens or live under the company. There's a few weird grey areas like that. Subsourian (talk) 01:48, July 7, 2016 (UTC)
