[edit] Welcome!
Just thought to welcome you and Thank You for what you've already done!
The world of the Witcher is simply astounding, and deserves to be explored. I'm happy you've found it, too. :)
Sadelyrate 14:42, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
- I can only second this. Obviously you've done a great job since I last visited (and edited) this wiki. Your List of Quests by Act will be a great help for my new run. Thanks again. Firehawk) 22:08, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Comment on your additions
The idea of gathering all the scrolls under their own header is a good one, but please, when adding in items from the game, use their correct names. Even if it really is a scroll, and not a book, despite the name. ;) Sadelyrate 17:14, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Names
'The' is part of the name of the books/scrolls, so my personal preference would be to include it.
However, writing the names of the books/scrolls in the form of "The Book of the Swallow" makes them harder to find, imo. Thus, written in the form "Book of the Swallow, The" or even "Swallow, The Book of the", the books/scrolls might be more easily found.
I'm sorry if I came across nitpicky earlier. I really do appreciate you adding to this wiki. Thank you. :) Sadelyrate 21:01, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
- Redirect is relatively painless and easy to do even after the creation of an article. Then there's also the way of linking something without using the straight link... and, of course, moving. I prefer the first two methods, though, because moving's pretty much uncharted territory for me as of yet.
- I just made you an admin, so that you now can delete files. Ausir 17:48, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
- Thank-you! but you may live to regret that decision :) Game widow 17:49, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
- Redirects are your friends. ;)
- As it is, I'd be more than happy to do this, see that there wouldn't be broken links due to changes and all...Sadelyrate 21:32, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
- then it all sounds good to me :) (i'm downloading skype right now to investigate IM and Miranda) Game widow 21:36, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
- I'd suggest Miranda IM: http://www.miranda-im.org/ which supports several protocols, including MSN, ICQ, AIM, Yahoo and Jabber. Of these, Jabber is the most free protocol. :) Ausir 21:35, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
- what channel and server should i use? I really have never done this, so i'm a wee bit lost. Game widow 21:46, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
- i'm definitely getting lost in the discussion pages. I don't know where to post stuff, my page, your page, Sade's page? Game widow 22:34, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
- You've got it! I'm on Oils, Potions, Bombs, Ingredients. :) Game widow 19:51, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
- OK, no problem ... but red is sooo ugly ;) Just let me know what you are concentrating on, and i'll leave it alone. Game widow 14:22, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
- Write about the game characters like Coleman and Koster to your heart's content, just leave the random, apparently throwaway names (like Dorregaray) alone, and methinks it'll all work out. ;) Sadelyrate 16:40, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
- Ah, no worries then, I would never have touched anything remotely resembling that. Only characters mentioned in the game. I've only read "The Last Wish" - the collection of stories. (Vilgefortz just happened to be mentioned in passing in the game) Most of those names mean absolutely nothing to me ... yet :) Game widow 17:16, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
- Dorregaray is an important character in one of the stories in "The Sword of Destiny" and appears later in Times of Contempt. Ausir 00:52, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

- It's all yours ;) -- fix away! Game widow 15:31, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
- Ditto. The race-thing might certainly be worth considering, too... :) Sadelyrate 20:21, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
- Makes sense to me as well :) Game widow 20:43, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
- Is that good ? ;) Game widow 00:00, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
- I like the subcategory idea :) . What about elder vampires? or the courtesan/vampires, are they still human? Game widow 01:27, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
- Just to stir the pot further... Is Yennefer, a quadroon, counted among humans, or will her status as a sorceress nullify the need for further categorizing? And what about half-elves? Are there so few of them that the need for a category all their own wouldn't be worth the trouble? Sadelyrate 11:41, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
- I was assuming that the Races category (and sub-categories) would be used not just for the game, but maybe that's only me. I imagine Yennefer is not the only quadroon in the Witcher-verse ... but I really don't know. Shall we come to a concensus? Game widow 11:45, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
- No taboos here, although I don't like the name of the "Sex" category. Maybe something like "Geralt's sexual partners in The Witcher computer game" (I'd like all game articles to have the game in the category title, so that it's easier to separate them from the books and any future games). Ausir 01:35, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
- OK ... I'll move it. Game widow 01:36, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
- Haven't moved it yet, just trying to think of a good compromise name ... how about "Sexual Encounters" ... that's less bulky than "Geralt's sexual partners in The Witcher computer game". (My husband still insists that Sex is best!) Game widow 12:16, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Ausir 01:35, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, actually, it should be "Act V", e.g. according to the official forum. Ausir 11:12, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
- OK it's official, our site now says Act V (or whatever, but I can confirm that on the north american version of the game, when you start a new "act" it says "Chapter V") ;) Game widow 20:54, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks! I've found Poltran, but did not know about InterTran. Game widow 19:03, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
- I've been trying to avoid overlapping -- I've added some cellpadding for a bunch of pages just today, but my sympathies on your equipment. I must confess that I have a tower and a pretty nice flat screen. Game widow 19:50, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
- Just so it's documented, all that stuff is from the easter eggs page, I have no idea who wrote it.Game widow 13:58, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
- In case you missed it, Geralt has alluded to this fact several times during dialogue. Kotomi 16:04, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
- Are you saying that Geralt specifically says Kalkstein is a gnome? If so, i think you are mistaken :) Game widow 16:09, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
- No, Geralt didn't come right out and says Kalkstein is a gnome, but he mentioned/suspected Kalkstein has gnome ancestry/parentage. Kalkstein's notes Kotomi 17:02, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
- Are you saying that Geralt specifically says Kalkstein is a gnome? If so, i think you are mistaken :) Game widow 16:09, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
- In case you missed it, Geralt has alluded to this fact several times during dialogue. Kotomi 16:04, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
- thanks for the clarification :) BTW, are the pages displaying better for you these days ? Game widow 10:36, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
- Far as I can see, the pages are working just fine. Thank You! :) Sadelyrate 10:46, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
- I think the word you're looking for is compulsive :) Game widow 20:03, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
- It's all PrintScr, Alt-Tab, Ctrl-V, and then the Gimp :) -- no magic sadly Game widow 19:49, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
- Far as I know, 'almanack' can be spelled either way. I just happen to prefer the one with the 'k'. In the Polish Witcher-Wiki, the subcategory is called 'Calendar'... Sadelyrate 16:08, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
- As often as Magick is spelled that way :) Game widow 16:35, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
- absolutely! Game widow 15:31, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
- 'Pyjama papering' the dictionary would indeed make it easier to read. I'd appreciate it if you'd do that. :) Sadelyrate 15:48, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
- consider it done :) Game widow 16:02, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
- for that sort of question, I highly recommend that you contact Mobidoy on the forum http://www.thewitcher.com/forum/index.php ... The file I downloaded did everything for me, I did not have to copy anything anywhere, just run the .exe, and Mobidoy is the one who pointed me to it Game widow 00:13, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
- oh pick pick pick :) ... we have a policy ? Game widow 21:54, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
- Well, I figured you'd know better than I since you are the sysop for this wiki :D. There doesn't have to be a policy, but usually each wiki has its own "Manual of Style" regarding how pages should look and how they should be linked to etc. GhostNWN 21:57, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
- I've been at this for exactly 3 and a half months ... I am no expert, but i do try. I've been toiling away alone, so no guide was particularly necessary as it was only me. I'm still not sure that what i have put here constitutes a style, but what i have done is tried to standardize the things i found here to begin with (not much) and create a consistent look and feel. I've spent far more time sorting out all the categories and making this wiki searchable than i have focusing on style. That's my story and i'm sticking to it! Game widow 22:02, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
- That's good then. If you have kept to a standard format across all pages and edited other people's edits to fit these standards, you have a style for this wiki :) To help others keep to it (and thus save yourself some work) you can put it in writing in a special page if you like. GhostNWN 22:06, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
- Beautiful ! make it so :) Game widow 23:39, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
- Thy will hath been done GhostNWN 09:21, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
- Sure! why not? ... if we have the herb, we'll do a combined entry. Were you thinking of just one long list? If so, just dump the list and i can make it into tables or whatever is required. Otherwise, i'm open to creating new pages for herbs that don't already exist and combining the information with herbs that do. :) Game widow 18:51, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
- Real glad you're here! .. and thanks for all those links, i had meant to add them, then obviously got distracted and forgot :) Don't worry if not all the information is complete, that's fine. We have to start somewhere. Game widow 15:40, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
- Sounds like a good idea to me :) I'll see what i can throw together to start Game widow 20:30, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
- OK, thanks :) Game widow 22:39, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks! I'll put them in fighting gallery. Game widow 17:14, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
- I want to thank both you (JoePlay) and Doug for all your help resolving this issue. I think the site looks great now :) Game widow 12:22, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
- I guess, specifically, what is wrong with this: zh:Chinese ?
- ah ok, cool
- stuff like Wanted pages, pages without language links, those sorts of reports
- I appreciate it :) Game widow 20:39, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks a million! :) — Game widow 18:12, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
- No problem, I'm going to quote Jack O'Neill from Starate SG-1 now: "There should be cake" - RS 18:17 (UTC)
- Hmmm ... not quoting anyone, but "champagne all around!" ;) — Game widow 18:30, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
- That is *exactly* why i wanted someone who actually speaks that language to check! thanks! But anything that you want explained, please just ask!
- Oh! and there is polish in there because Whisperwind understands Polish as does Powaz i think! But i can leave stuff in English if that is simpler for you — Game widow 14:32, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
- Uhuh! Thanks for the trust, I've just translated Augalai section using both wiki's - en and lt. I talked to Powaz some time ago, he didnt told me bout polish, but i guess we will contact each other for this, couse we're lithuanians ;) Good day to ya Synnerė
- Done — Game widow 09:36, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
- No worries :) ... hmmm, how about all the gang-related stuff, i'm really sure that i have messed up some of the gangs information :). Stuff like Nissir, Nightingale, Traps, Rats, anything along those lines would be great! — Game widow 20:23, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
- I'm actually working on that myself with a couple of germans :) — would you care to join us ? — Game widow 20:22, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
- Sure. - RS
- Oh! and the Assault on Stygga castle is only half done :D — Game widow 13:25, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
- I'm gonna do it on the Thursday/Friday night. - RS
- Fabulous! and thanks! — Game widow 19:44, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
- Ok, Im done. - RS 1:10 (UTC) 1 May 2009
- I finished the gangs - RS 9:53 (UTC) 1 may 2009.
- Cool! thanks again :D — Game widow 08:54, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
- I'm pleased someone is making nice accurate ones :) keep up the good work! — Game widow 00:12, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks a million Chuckles! — Game widow 11:38, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
- Awesome! and there's always something. I'll look around and let you know, but feel free to do the same, anything at all that you feel is missing, just add. I'm at a bit of a disadvantage as the languages i can read are only up to "Czas Pogardy" which i did just finish last week :) — Game widow 14:59, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
- Interesting! could you translation the important parts ? — Game widow 21:21, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
- I will finish translating and I will send it by e-mail by Tuesday.- RS
- Sure, why not ? :) ... just make sure that what is speculation is obvious and distinguishable from facts — Game widow 08:47, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
- Had some problems but it is OK now. But sorry, I will give the translated stuff and Saturday. The reason why I cannot translate is celebration. I was given my end of year report card and I was pleasantly surprised, besides there is my B-day tomorrow. -RS
- well Happy Birthday! and congratulations on your report card :D — Game widow 14:27, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
- Of course i accept it :D, thanks again. Oh, and all i do is download your image and re-upload to the wiki store over here ... i make no changes whatsoever other than filename — Game widow 20:51, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
- welcome back (however briefly!), i suppose if you feel like it, most of the quests need fleshing out in Polish, or for the other way around ... anything about the books after Czas Pogardy :D — Game widow 19:33, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
- Okay, I'm gonna do all of them, Baptism of Fire, The Tower of the Swallow and The Lady of the Lake. - RS
- Perfect! thank-you :) — Game widow 09:20, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
- Okay, I'm gonna do all of them, Baptism of Fire, The Tower of the Swallow and The Lady of the Lake. - RS
- Done - I used SanchoPanzaXXI's arms of La Guancha.
I don't know why despite upload, the old version is still displayed...
Cheers !! Mboro 13:23, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
PS. Thanks for grammar correction ;o)- Don't worry about the image, it's wikia's usual caching problems, it will "correct" itself. I've been caught by that many times before! — Game widow 13:24, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks, i had not heard as i find that particular "feature" a bloody nuisance and switched it off for myself ;) I'm still trying to track down the exact code snippet i need there, so if you happen to know, by all means, let me know — Game widow 09:35, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
- Nevermind :D -- found it. The colour may yet change, but at least now it is readable — Game widow 12:41, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
Examples of 'invisible' articles/redirecting, include Aard and Geralt. Another way is throwing in | between the link's real name and the word(s) you'd like to use: like this. (Switch to 'edit' mode to see the trick.)
I'll be happy to 'proof read', though, and/or do the necessary changes. Now, however, I'll be heading to the bed. Take care. :) Sadelyrate 22:12, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
- I'd suggest checking with Ausir before making any bigger changes. But the Main Page is cleaner, now. Thank you.
The lack of Spoilers-category is probably just an oversight. Sadelyrate 09:55, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Spoilers
Sure, I don't see why not. Ausir 16:43, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Renaming files
Unfortunately, it's not possible to rename uploaded files, other than by uploading them again and deleting the first version. Ausir 15:16, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] The Witcher (computer game) images category -- it's too big
Sure. If you want, go ahead and create the categories. :) Ausir 20:32, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Just asking an opinion...
Do you think there'd be any sense in creating a page about the witcher fighting styles?
Incidentally, you're doing an amazing job with the graphics and all. Heavens know I wouldn't have the patience to open that can of worms... Thank You.
Sadelyrate 20:51, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] About Trophies
There's also the Trophy quests-entry. Perhaps we could combine the two somehow?
I noticed you've also redirected "formulae" to lead to blade coatings. Considering that those aren't the only thing with formulas, I was a bit surprised. Sadelyrate 19:46, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
The idea of redirecting Trophies is a good one. The fact that it didn't occur to me tells a bit about my headspace. ;) I'll do it in a jiffy, and probably merge the two entries somehow...
Thank You! :) Sadelyrate 20:35, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Naming conventions
Would it be a good idea to homogenize the names of the scrolls? Instead of half of them being called "The Book of This'n'That", and the other half "Flying Cows of Cintra (scroll)", they'd all be "This'n'That (scroll)"? Sadelyrate 21:24, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] IM
Hi!
Do you use any instant messengers? Ausir 21:28, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Where shall we put flint?
it's all by its lonesome. it's no less worthy of mention than anything else. is it an additional good? it's certainly not an ingredient in anything ... Your thoughts? Game widow 22:44, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Category re-organizing
Frankly, it's something I've been wondering about a couple of times, ergo... Sign me up to editing the categories of the books and scrolls! :D
Methinks it wouldn't be a bad idea to 'divide the duties', you know. Sadelyrate 19:49, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
- 'Clean' is a fitting word to describe it all, yeah. You've been busy. :) Sadelyrate 10:45, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] New entries
I appreciate the desire to get rid of the ugly red links, but mayhap creating an entry for, i.e. Vilgefortz and Philippa Eilhart, about whom there isn't that much info as of yet is a little bit...pointless. I'm digging up more on them as we speak, though, so... Will be editing that entry in a wee bit. Just, please... refrain from doing it more?
As for the earlier... If I disagree with something, I'll just let you know or butt in and make changes. ;) Sadelyrate 14:19, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Quest Items-category
Been reading my mind, have you? ;) Two thumbs up for doing this and hugs! Thank You! Sadelyrate 13:36, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Vizima Outskirts
Hey, I just thought to give you a heads-up. I'm planning on deleting the "Vizima Outskirts"-article, and then renaming the Outskirts of Vizima to that, elaborating it. Or would you like to do the honours? Sadelyrate
[edit] Recategorizing the images
Sure, go ahead. By the way, how about adding race categories to characters (e.g. elves, dwarves, humans etc.)? Ausir 20:08, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Number of articles
Looks like we're going to hit 1000 articles soon. :) Ausir 00:00, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Races
As for witchers, they certainly were once human, but whether they are still human after their mutations is debatable. Maybe make Category:Witcher (race) as a subcategory of Humans? As for mages, they can be humans, elves or half-elves (there are no known mages among dwarves, gnomes and halflings). They could get a separate category as well, though, in addition to their race. Ausir 01:07, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
Halflings are not the same as half-elves. They are an equivalent of Tolkien's hobbits. Both half-elves and halflings should have separate categories, as should vampires. Ausir 01:35, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Sex

[edit] Chapter 5 or Chapter V?
I'd like to keep the 'V'-format, but it's not necessarily the best organization-wise...And then, of course, there's the fact that they're Acts, not Chapters in the game. I don't really mind either way, as long as the stuff can still be found. :) Sadelyrate 07:28, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Question on Categories
The thought just occurred to me, while reading The Last Wish, that we do have a category for books that appear in The Witcher-game, but what about the books that are mentioned/quoted in Sapkowski's works, like The History of the World, Fairytales and Stories, The Arcane Mysteries of Magic and Alchemy, The Secret of Secrets...? Sadelyrate 07:17, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Re: Category: Locations in The Witcher computer game
What do you count as belonging in this category? Does a mention of a place in the game qualify? Yours, curious Sadelyrate 19:58, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Re: translating
I've been mostly using InterTran and Poltran and a sackful of salt. ;)
Can I ask what browser you use to surf the 'Net, btw? Sadelyrate
[edit] 'Wonky' pages?
I tend to surf the 'Net on a laptop (screen 12", resolution 1024x768), so sometimes picture(s) in an article with the border, cellpadding, cellspacing and all that edited 'cover' the text. That's the reason (along with speed and ease of use) why I've preferred to use the colon for indented text. Sadelyrate 19:48, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Game location
Similarly to the game character template, I created one for location as well - {{gamelocation}}. Ausir 21:07, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Kalkstein
The gnome article says "If one does not count Kalkstein, there are no gnomes present in the game." Does it mean that Kalkstein is a gnome/of gnomish ancestry? Ausir 01:49, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Ornithosaurs/Draconids
Draconids (as a hypernym) aren't mentioned in the game, ornithosaurs (as a hypernym) aren't mentioned in at least in The Last Wish.
However... All the identified ornithosaurs have four limbs: two legs, two wings. All the identified draconids (that I've seen), have six limbs: four legs, two wings. Oszluzg is a question mark, and might not fit under either hypernym.
There might also be the question of intelligence, but I'm not sure. All the ornithosaurs seem to be beasts, without culture beyond instincts, but dragons, at least, are capable of speech and reasoning. Sadelyrate 10:33, 28 April 2008 (UTC)SadeLyrate
[edit] Coming Back
I just felt like I couldn't really contribute anything for a while...but I have been keeping an eye on this wiki. :)
And you've been awesomely busy. Sadelyrate 19:51, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Elven Calendar
Good to hear the calendar-image works. Because since I couldn't find anything suitable, I just threw it together...and, imo, it clarified a couple of things about the holidays and the savaeds. Granted, now I just want to print it out and make a spinning top... ;)
I'll be keeping an eye out for suitable graphics. Though you seem to have mastered that skill. :) Sadelyrate 19:47, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Dictionary
It's so much easier to navigate now! Thank You! :)
Languages are one of my biggest loves, so I couldn't resist trying to figure the words out... and user:Ausir helped. What do you think: would it be useful to gather Old Speech-examples from the book(s) and the game, add them into the dictionary? Sadelyrate 15:26, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] uncut mod question
Hi, I have another question about the mod that restores cut content on NA version; So all I need to do get the mod to work is put the localized0005.bif file into the witcher data file? (and after I install the mod, will the dialogue still be in english?) thank you very much Johnnybonanza
[edit] Wikification
Hello Game widow, I noticed your edit of the Six Feet Under page added wiki links to pages that were already linked to on the same page, such as Geralt and Siegfried. Over at the NWN wiki, we only wikify the first instance rather than all instances. Is the policy here different? GhostNWN 21:27, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Help pages
Hey, great work with those new help pages! I'm thinking if this page [[1]] should have links to it too or if its just a generic wiki help page? GhostNWN 20:30, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Main page layout
Hi Game widow!
I just wanted to give you a heads-up and seek your input on the post I made here. If you could take a look at it and reply, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks! --KyleH

[edit] Herbs/plants in books
Do you think there would be any point in putting up a page listing herbs/plants mentioned in the books? I'd love to match them with the ones in the game, but methinks I need to consult the original language to do that... ;) Sadelyrate 18:47, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Additions
Hi,
I'm that mysterious IP-address, I edited some pages before finally deciding to join. You know me from the forums (recently that portal discussion) I hope those changes I made are good. It was really necessary to add the item locations for "Exhibits". I found the phase texts for those two quests, but no title, is that ok? ThorwaldR 21:29, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Intro & Ourto articles
Hi,
I'd like to suggest the creation of 2 articles, one for the game intro video, one for the outro video. I recently watched the "Crossroads" Episode and the parallels between this episode and the intro video are obvious. Well, it was modeled after that episode. Both articles could give an overview over what's happening, who's there, where, length and all that (Spoiler note should be placed). A comparison between the intro and the episode could be made. The assumptions as to who that guy in the outro is could be listed. Perhaps the videos should be linked to the articles (the intro is here already, the outro can be found on YouTube).
That's my suggestion. I'll gladly contribute, but won't start it because I don't have the time right now.

Thanks for the welcome... but I just made some minor edits ;-) Petra Silie 15:04, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Main Page rename
Since you seem to be the most active admin, I wanted to let you that I just renamed the Main Page to Witcher Wiki. I've been assigned with stopping by all the top gaming wikis and making sure their main page is named (Game Name) Wiki instead of Main Page, for search engine optimization purposes. If you admins decide you don't want the keep the new main page name, you obviously have the right to revert, but I would strongly suggest keeping it so that even more people will find this wiki. Cheers. =) JoePlay (talk) 20:49, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
Hi GW,
I forgot to tell you about these amazing fighting drawings http://hexer.wikia.com/wiki/Kampfstile_(Galerie) which I labeled with English titles so you can use them as well. I don't know where to add the images in the English wiki, I leave that to you. If you need an original source of the images. They are CDPR's property, handed out within the fansite programm to various witcher fansites. I think there is no abuse to use them in the Witcher wikis as well ;)

[edit] RE: new skin
Hey Game widow. I showed your rather angry message to my boss, Doug. He's the Gaming Team manager. Today he gave me the assignment of implementing a new skin based on the design given to him by Eriash. In case you aren't watching my talk page, I wanted to bring to your attention the reply Doug made that goes into more detail. JoePlay (talk) 00:11, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
[edit] RE: Chinese links, images, etc.
(1) Are you talking about using interwiki links? (for example, linking from here to an article on the Chinese Wither Wiki)
(2) The image cache server "broke" about 12 hours ago (give or take) and is being worked on. It should be fixed very soon.
(3) Which daily reports were you talking about?
I want to make sure I know exactly what you're asking about so that I can get the right answers. JoePlay (talk) 19:45, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Finished translating
I published Northern Wars, sorry for delay, if you got any problem with translating or you need some help, contact me: rafalskimi@live.com . I will help with pleasure. - RS 31/03/2009 19:12 or is it 18:12? (UTC).
[edit] Lithuanian Witcher Wiki
Well, I found that your techniques are not good enough. For example, "Monstrų dalys" - it's half polish, half lithuanian mixed with unknown language :D "Augalai" is like that too. I guess you were using google translator or something that is not right :) I will try to do my best to translate these 'mixed' or polish words, but there's a lot of work out there! Synnerė
I've done another page, but I need your permission or something, couse translation from EN to LT is not good at these:
Graveir - Kapknisys; Gaidikslis - Kokatrisė; Bruxa - Bruksa; Bloedzuiger - Bloedzuigeris; Frightener - Gąsdintojas; Golem - Golemas; Hellhound - Pragaro šuo; Kikimora darbininkas - Kikomora darbininkė; Kikimora karys - Kikimora karė.
plz, change the names of this bestiary at LT wiki, cuz I can't.. thank you Synnerė 2009 04 17
[edit] Polish translating
Sorry for being so long gone but last four weeks were hard. What do you need me to translate? - RS 19:00:12 (UTC) , 27 April
I have also mad idea. I plan to translate Sword of Destiny into English during summer holidays. - RS 19:47:00 (UTC), 27 April
[edit] I will be gone
No, not forever. Don't worry. I have my math IGCSE in eleven days. And my end of year exams in five weeks. So I won't be able to translate anything. After the exams, I'm going to Poland, and I'll have no connection to the internet. So I'll be able to translate something in September. I'll see if I will be able to go on internet in July. See ya! - RS 20:54 (UTC) 2nd May, 2009.
[edit] Coats of arms
Hi. I'm really glad, that you're using the new designed ones; but it would be nice to notice my little contribution to its creation.
Warm regards. Mboro 20:59, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
Great !!! I will systematically put another coats of arms. I'm happy that you like it. I'll try to develope their description (to make them similar to polish wiki ones).
Best regards. Mboro 04:40, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
[edit] The Cultists' Crypt
I have begun with a small and incomplete page on the unofficial "Cultists' Crypt" quest for the game. Hopefully you or someone else will improve it and merge more info over from the "Lionhead Spider lair" locality page. Hope I was of help :) Chuckles guide 11:38, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Do you need help?
I have a lot of spare time now so if you want me to translate something let me know! - RS
You know, I found out something interesting here: (its in Polish) http://www.wiedzmin.biz/tajemniczy-zabojca-kim-on-jest-alvin-wielki-mistrz-t-273.html . It is a discussion about a masked assassin that you can see in outro and about Alvin and Grand Master of the Order. Anyway, someone suggested that Alvin is the son of Ciri! It actually makes sense. Alvin got the same hair color as Ciri and same with the eyes. They both have ability to travel in time and space and have Elder Blood in their veins. What do you think? - RS 24.05.2009 18:45 (UTC)
There are also some speculations that Leo Bonhart may be a witcher. But the discussion on the topic is complicated and there's a lot of pros and cons. If you want then I will put some details.- RS
No problem ! - some rules of polish writings are very strange not only to foreigners.
I'm glad I could help. Warm regards ! — Mboro 10:25, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Caingorn arms
Hello !
Caingorn (and Henfors League) CoA & banner are described as "silver griffon on purpure field".
That's why I decided to put another alternative arms & banner - where I used purpure (RGBA = 800080ff) instead of red.
If you accept it, please make a copy (like you have made it before, with other CoA).
Best wishes. Mboro 20:47, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
Oh, I see. Thanks for answer :) BTW: I'm polish and my knowlege of czech language is far from basic - I just know few words and no grammar...
But I will help (if only I have time) in translation: english to polish ;D
Cheers ! Mboro 23:00, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
Hi it' great! Thank u very much! I'll do my best to end my work on WWiki Italia...cheers. Secondchildren
[edit] Quote:Hi again, just making sure that what i am doing is useful to you ;) ... let me know if i am doing things you don't want :)
Hi! it's perfect! I really appreciate indeed. For e.g. i didn't know how to change the wiki skin and you did it :D thank you very much!!!!
[edit] I'm Back
Hi! It's RS here. I have some time now, so if there is anything you want me to translate then let me know. However, I have only time until 19th of August. I will not have that much time until September. - RS
[edit] New unof arms
Hello !! I'm glad you enjoy it !! Please use them together with the Czech proposals - they are also beautiful.
I prepared more than 20 of new arms, so upload will last for a while ;)
Please, check & correct grammar in english description.
Warm regards, Mboro 08:32, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
Come on... You put me to shame ;) I'm doing my best. I'm glad you like it :)))
Novigrad arms took me a little time but it was well worth while :D
I hope, Vicovaro arms will pleased you as well ;D
Warm regards. Mboro 18:46, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Monaco Skin issue
After editing a page I get a banner suggesting other pages I might want to edit. The problem is that the banner background and foreground colors are very close so I can barely read anything in it. I have to click and drag to highlight the text so I can read it. Thought I'd let you know in case you haven't heard of this from anyone else. Otherwise the default skin looks great.
