General thanks
Thanks for your help! The Tales wiki really need someone who organize everything. You have my greatest thanks. --Genjis 11:31, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

You city slickers and your internet grammatification
One the main page, you mention a "beta construction phase". I assume by that you must mean "this wiki is in the process of becoming awesome". Cos it is y'know.

Oh, and thanks for making most of that stuff I did look all tidy. Now if there was only a simmilar easy-fix solution for my niece's room...

Meeps. Just now.

Adoption of this wiki
Hi Imaginationac, as somehow quick reply to your forum post on Central Wikia "Admin inactive since June 2006" I have set you as sysop and bureaucrat on Aselia Wikia :-) So you're able now – beneath using the well known admin features like deleting and blocking - to adapt the wiki's interface in many ways, and also to grant sysop rights to other users. I've already noted the "adoption" of this wiki on its description page on Central Wikia, see Tales Wiki.

Please have a look at the Administrators' how-to guide now. And if you need any help, please leave me a note. Have fun! --rieke 23:41, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

MediaWiki namespace
Hi Imaginationac, changes to MediaWiki messages do not have any effects at the moment. This is a bug on a small number of wikis after the last upgrade. We'll fix this as soon as possible. If the fix has been made you can note it easily because the Sidebar should look different then. --rieke 08:46, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome!
Thanks for welcomeing me. I posted a link to this Wiki on my lj because I know a few Tales fans who might want to help this place. I am planning to scan some turnabouts of the Tales of Abyss characters from the Kosuke Fujishima book and I want to know if it's ok if I will be able to use the images for each character's respected article. Okay or not okay? --Jyuni

About that Aseria thing
I thought Aselia was called Aseria in the US. On the OVA it keeps saying things like "4203 on the Aserian calendar" and it also said that in the game. I don't actually remember the word "Aseria" being mentioned, but that would be pretty logical, wouldn't it?

Walthruze
It alright if I add a few walkthroughs? I gots me some permissions and I'll change 'em all into that Wiki code thing. -Meeps

What gives?
The Radiant Mythology page is all wrong, don'tcha know. -Meeps
 * Thanks for the invite. As I said on my userpage, I really only know about ToS, but I'll still help out when that area's all covered. -- &#91;&#91;User:Sunstone Alchemist&#124;&#39;&#39;&#39;&lt;span style=&quot;color: goldenrod&quot;&gt;The Alchemist&lt;/span&gt;&#39;&#39;&#39; &lt;sup&gt;&#91;&#91;User talk:Sunstone Alchemist&#124;talk]]&lt;/sup&gt;]] 15:48, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Are You Here?
Excuse me, but are you still around?--Zolo 01:37, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes. Is there something I can help you with?--Imaginationac (talk) (requests) (email) 04:03, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Well I wanted to ask if it was ok that I added myself to the Top Editors or something to the Community Portal page since I categorized mostly all the images here and made over 15 new ToS articles(locations and characters) or do I need to do more than that?

Also for the in the news stuff I want to know if we can make a separate page for it here is my plan for it User:Zolo6/Sandbox if you disagree I'll understand but I won't make any hastey acts without your permission. --Zolo 02:41, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I have no objections to you adding yourself to the list of "Top Editors". As for the "news stuff", if you make a separate page, I suggest using a page inclusion tag i.e. on the main page. If you need specific help, try asking other editors or looking for examples first. It's not that I don't want to, I'm just going to be incredibly busy for the next two weeks or so.--Imaginationac (talk) (requests) (email) 03:49, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Disabling unregistered user edits
I think this wiki has come to the point where vandals and random unhelpful visitors edit certain pages freely, without citing sources while changing things such as certain characters' gender and voice actor. It has become a nuisance for me to observe the "Recent Changes" page daily, and to revert all of these bad edits as they appear. And if I happen to miss such edits, there will be complaints by some members of the official Namco Tales forums, who seem to monitor this wiki but don't want to do anything to help it. And most unfortunately, much of the time the anonymous IPs are not the same, possibly due to dynamic IP changes, so it would be bad form to ban IP ranges and potentially block helpful future members.

The best option is to set the wiki to allow only registered users to provide contributions. Any users who continue to engage in vandalism or spam can be documented and warned much more effectively, and it prevents people who don't take the effort to create an account from making changes at all. All of the other wiki communities that I participate on have taken this measure, and it seems to work well for them. And besides, we do not have enough of a frequent user base here to merit anonymous editing - I seem to be the only one who actually keeps a close watch on what goes on here. We have not reached a point where people who visit the wiki would find something they know and then add it, aiding in the overall collection of data, unlike the much larger wiki sites for other materials. The Tales series has only a niche fandom, after all.

I apologize for the inconvenience, and I hope you will consider this change in user edit permissions.

 * I'm very hesitant to restrict editing to registered users only. We do get helpful edits from time to time, and some users can't be bothered to register. Still, if you (and at least one other person) feels adamant about this, I'll let the Wikia admins know.--Imaginationac (talk) (requests) (email) 03:52, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
