Welcome!

Hey there, Plaguebearer!! Welcome to the Great Library!! It's always great to see a new contributor, and especially someone who's been around GH for a minute!! Glad to see ya', and look forward to hopefully seeing more content from you! — Abra Saghast (talk) 13:48, 15 November 2024 (EST)

Thank you again Abra Saghast. It is amusing, fun, and exciting to be able to see the village my gaming group designed going up. I will tell others groups in my region that may have also had towns that this is a location for them as well. With 2024 coming out, hopefully you will get a lot more traffic and updates.

Duchy of Urnst pages

I don't know how active you were in LG DoU (or more accurately "URD" in LG), or if you DM'd or anything in addition to writing... but, we've had a one or two wiki editors who've done stuff like adding info from their LG Regions in an "In Living Greyhawk" section on pages like Perrenland#In_Living_Greyhawk and Dyvers#In_Living_Greyhawk (take a look at Category:Perrenland especially!!!).

Since you did the Veriste page so well, if you're interested in helping record some/any LG data on the GloG wiki so it doesn't evaporate, I'd really like to talk with you about perhaps adding a little more DoU information. — Abra Saghast (talk) 09:35, 16 November 2024 (EST)

Abra Saghast I have actually started added a few pages for places like Sete and Kruknik already, plus did the page for Locations in the Duchy of Urnst. You should have my email from when I registered or I can be found on Discord with the username of PlagueBearer. I'm glad you think I did a good job, I am not a wiki person, so I am guessing and doing a bit of copy/paste to fake that I know what I'm doing. xD I am happy to talk about how I can help.

Abra Saghast You now have 10 new pages of stuff concerning the Duchy of Urnst. I am going to have to do more digging to give you more then just names of places on the map, but it's a start. Thank you for followign behind and cleaning up my messes. PlagueBearer (talk) 11:07, 17 November 2024 (EST)

That's fantastic, PlagueBearer! That's a fantastic start, and they're decent pages, even if just a WIP or stub. It's important that people can just at least get an inkling or basic idea of what and where the place is. Especially how you added kind of a little "south of the capital in the Cairn Hills" or whatever. THAT is especially useful for users looking something up! — Abra Saghast (talk) 11:48, 17 November 2024 (EST)

Sources

Abra Saghast I am refenecing the Living Greyhawk Gazetter... in a few places. I have been finding cities listed in the RPGA Living Greyhawk Journal... that gives page numbers to look up info. Just thought I would share that info. PlagueBearer (talk) 08:05, 17 November 2024 (EST)

Those are great sources! They are useful and have lots of information in them!

But, please review the Files and External Links Policy.

That's really great to add citations and such! I don't know if you saw it on the Talk:Veriste page, but <ref>s are 100% fine, but, if you want to use an easier template—

The general way to make citations is by using standard <ref> and </ref>. But the GloG wiki also has "Template:Cite sourcebook" to make preformatted citations which are put in Chicago Manual of Style format for you, with proper punctuation and order, etc. The basic syntax for those is {{csb|source|page}} without <ref>, and no spaces between the phrase or sentence and the citation. For example:

Here's a citation to LGG, p.125. {{csb|LGG|125}}

Aanyway, hope that helps! You're doing really great editing! Keep up the good work! — --Abra Saghast (talk) 08:54, 17 November 2024 (EST)

Copy/Paste

Abra Saghast so many Gold Gold Dukes is what I get for heavy reliance on copy and paste xD PlagueBearer (talk) 09:20, 17 November 2024 (EST)

Don't worry! I gotcha! LOL! That's what "Replace Text" admin function is for. 😉

But, I can't even tell you how many times I've made copy/paste errors and found them months or years later! LOL — Abra Saghast (talk) 09:37, 17 November 2024 (EST)

Verified User!

Just thought I would let you know, in case you haven't noticed when saving edits ....

I just added you to the "Verified Users" group, so that you can bypass the "Captcha" questions when creating, saving, and editing articles. Hope that makes it easier for you! LOL 😁🎉🎉😁 — Abra Saghast (talk) 10:00, 17 November 2024 (EST)

I had noticed, I was contemplating how to say thank you. :) PlagueBearer (talk) 10:08, 17 November 2024 (EST)
