User talk:Gotlvr87

Welcome
Hi, welcome to ! Thanks for your edit to the The Magician's Nephew page. If you haven't already, please take a moment to glance through the Narnia Wiki Format; it's a list of guidelines that help us keep wiki articles organised and consistent. I hope to see you editing again soon! Also, feel free to fill out your user page so we can get to know you!

Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything! Lasaraleen Tarkheena (talk) 18:16, May 13, 2016 (UTC)

Adding New Pages
Thanks for all your information added, but could you please be more careful when creating new pages. You've created 2 pages now, of ones that already existed. Please check first before adding a new page. Storyseeker1 (talk) 10:29, May 22, 2016 (UTC)

Yes, I realized that pretty quickly after I created the page, but I couldn't figure out how to delete the duplicate. Believe me, I'll check in the future. Gotlvr87 (talk) 17:50, May 22, 2016 (UTC)

Unfortunately, only admins can delete pages. If you realise a page needs to be deleted, the best you can do is put the delete template on it. Storyseeker1 (talk) 22:54, May 22, 2016 (UTC)

Gold and Silver trees
No, I didn't find anything either--have at it! I suggest you make two pages, one for the Golden Tree and one for the Silver Tree. Obviously the pages' content will be pretty similar, but the trees are two separate things, so I think it makes sense to give each its own page. It's your project, though--if you have another idea, let me know.Lasaraleen Tarkheena (talk) 07:12, July 10, 2016 (UTC)

Rollback Rights
Hi Gotlvr87! Thank you so much for all the work you're doing--it looks awesome! Since you're so active, I'd like to give your user account rollback rights, which would let you revert vandalism more quickly and easily if you happen to come across it first. It lets you revert malicious edits (including multiple edits made to a page by the same user) with one click, and it hides the reverted edit so that it doesn't appear on the "Wiki Acitivity" page. Because it hides the edit instead of just correcting it, it's really important to use it only for overt vandalism, not for any edits that could conceivably be innocent mistakes. Let me know if you're interested (or if you have any questions about what it does/how it's used). Lasaraleen Tarkheena (talk) 22:15, January 31, 2018 (UTC)

Sorry it's taken me a while to reply (been pretty busy), but I'm definitely interested and would love to hear more about rollback rights: Is there a set of instructions I could read up on? How does implementing them differ from ordinary editing? Is the process more techincal? Anything you could tell me would be great. Gotlvr87 (talk) 22:00, February 7, 2018 (UTC)


 * It's a little technical, but not very: in the dropdown menu next to the edit button on any page, choose "History," which will take you to a list of edits that have been made to that page. With your current user rights, you should be able to see an "undo" link next to each edit in the list. Once you have rollback rights, you'll see right next to the "undo" link a "rollback" link. Does that answer your question? ~Las 15:08, February 10, 2018 (UTC)

I think so. I've seen the "History" sections of other wiki pages. When I click on the rollback link, what would that do/allow me to do? Also, under what circumstnaces should rollback rights be invoked? I saw there were messages from other editors on your page talking about that, and I want to make sure I use them properly.

 * Sorry it took me so long to get back to you; life got very crazy there for a few weeks. Rollback is very much like undo, but with three differences:
 * 1) If BobExample77 made five vandalizing edits in a row and you undo his fifth edit, it will only reverse that fifth edit. Rollback reverses all five edits at once and takes the page back to the most recent version not created by BobExample77.
 * 2) "Undo" takes you into editing mode, where you can make other changes and/or leave an edit summary; "Rollback" just makes the change in one click and doesn't allow for an edit summary. That makes rollback a really great tool for fixing vandalism because it makes it quick and easy.
 * 3) "Undo" shows up in the WikiActivity list; "rollback" does not show up, and it also hides the original vandalizing edit from the WikiActivity list. Again, this makes it a great tool for vandalism because it hides (almost) all traces that the vandalizing edit ever happened. The idea is that a vandal who doesn't succeed in causing chaos or even getting attention will eventually get bored and go away.
 * All these things that make rollback a great tool for quashing vandalism also make it a really terrible tool for fixing anything else. If someone makes a bad edit in good faith, we want to change it back, but we also want to teach the person who made the edit how to make good edits, and to make him feel welcome on NarniaWiki and encourage him to edit more in the future. Rollback is specifically designed to preclude those things, so only use it when you're 100% sure the edit you want to revert is intentional vandalism. For example, if someone adds the text "I love Lucy! She's my favorite character!" to the bottom of the Lucy Pevensie page, the edit is wrong, but probably not intentionally vandalizing. If someone deletes all the text on the page and replaces it with an expletive, that's clearly vandalism and a great place to use rollback.
 * I'm going to go ahead and give your account rollback permission, but feel free to ask more questions about it any time. (Also let me know if you ever decide you'd like me to change the account permission back for some reason.) Thanks again for all the awesome editing you've been doing!

Raven
About that raven in the lion the witch and the wardrobe movie, what did it do in the film?

I'm not sure what you're referring to. I never wrote anything about a raven in the film, and I don't even remember there being one (though it's been a few years since I've seen the movie) Gotlvr87 (talk) 15:08, February 21, 2018 (UTC)



New Pages
Think you can do pages of the Hyena and the Raccoon please? Uh, where exactly did these animals appear? I don't specifically remember them in any of the books or films. Were they part of the White Witch's army? Gotlvr87 (talk) 15:46, March 7, 2018 (UTC) Yeah well I saw Edmund fighting a hyena at the bottom right And at Beast If you go to the Letter R, you'll see the Raccoon.

Characterbox
Hi Gotlvr! Sorry for the long silence; I had a big crunch at the end of the semester and didn't realize how long it had been since I logged in. The tools field sounds like a great idea--feel free to play around with it! Unfortunately, I don't have enough knowledge to help you much with the technical side of it. There are a lot of resources on community.wikia.com, or if you like I can put you in touch with someone on Wikia's staff. I've set it up so Wikia will email me when there's a message on my talk page (and I should be logging in more often now anyway)--let me know if you need anything or run into problems. ~Las 06:51, June 2, 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for the info. I may be able to figure it out myself, but if not I'll look at the resources you've suggested. Thanks again. Gotlvr87 (talk) 15:04, June 4, 2018 (UTC)
