| *From here I cannot tell if the error is in the day or the year, the [[Events 1980]] is defiantly incomplete and being the one who had added the greator portion of older events pages data, I suspect the error in the days. I created that page when I was entering a massive amount of data I was given from the Dreiburgen marshals file box. That box of old marshal reports is still at my house in California and I am still in Indiana so can we let this sit until I get home? <br>

| *I agree the previous and next links do need consideration. I feel they are a good tool for anyone that wants to do Caidan history research and they have been a tremendous aid to my data entry work. You probably noticed that I just spent a lot of time linking the crown tournament pages. I search for every page with Crown or Coronet in the title in order to make sure that I have included all the crown tournament pages that currently exist. I agree that right now if anyone adds a new crown tournament page they may not link then in. <br>
| |
| I figured that by doing this I have now made it my responsibility to make sure any new crown tournament pages are linked.<br>
| |
| *Regarding this, the problem I had is that there are a number of different variations in the crown tournament page names. I believe that some standardization for annual events page names is in order. At this time I check to see what other people have done and try to follow the naming standards already set, but when I find that there are already four variations posted all I can do is pick one. (I have the same problem with Queen's Champion Equestrian.)
| |
| *Another thing I have been doing for annual [[Dreiburgen]] events is creating hub pages. See [[Dreiburgen Anniversary]] as an example, I have already received much praise from my baronial Seneschal and a couple of up coming autocrats for these pages. I was thinking of taking on the responsibility using the [[Crown Tournament]] page for the same purpose. What do you think? <br>

| |
| | |
| * I think that making stub pages and there by establishing a page name standard, would be less work then tracking down all the varied names that people would give them on their own.
| |
| ** One thing I realized in the Dreiburgen Category is that I had to give page naming careful consideration. If I did not most of the pages in the category index would be in the D’s because their names would have started with Dreiburgen and that would be a real headache for anyone (including myself) looking for a page from within the category.
| |
| **I’m glade you like the hub pages. I was thinking that it would be nice to have many of the generic definition pages like the Crown Tournament page go on to list related pages like all the Crown Tournaments. Helping make this a full inter connected encyclopedia of Caid.<br>

| ==Scribe Page Question==
| |
| | |
| Hey Lachlan! I want to make a new page that will list all the scrolls by recipent (just a list without the thumbnails) and also link the same information on the page of each recipient. So there will be one master list one could go to to see if a scroll had been done. And one could also see the scrolls done for a person on their own page. Can you tell me how to make a new page for the master list and what would be good formating for it? Thanks! [[User:Aliskye|Aliskye]] 13:43, 3 November 2009 (PST)
| |
| | |
| To make a new page, put the title you plan to use ("Scrolls by Recipient"?) into the search box and hit "Search". You'll get a page telling you no page was found with that title, and a link to create a the page. Click the link to get a standard edit box and start filling...

| === New Question ===
| |
| | |
| Hey Lachlan! How do I make a new category? I.E. A category for a scroll type that hasn't been used before? Also, on the Category: Scrolls page, it starts with an alphabetic listing of categories, but not the Knight and Laurel entries (or anything past H in the alphabet). What's up with that? :) [[User:Aliskye|Aliskye]] 12:12, 19 November 2009 (PST)
| |
| *Adding a new category tag in any page automatically makes a new category with that name. A subcategory is created by placing a tag to the root category within the subcategory listing page. That's been done with [[:Category:Laurel Scrolls]] and [[:Category:Knight Scrolls]], but I don't know why they are not listed as subcategories of [[:Category:Scrolls]]. I did a bunch of minor edits trying to get it to work. I created a new subcategory, [[:Category:Leaf of Merit Scrolls]], but it was not listed. I could ''remove'' [[:Category:Harp Argent Scrolls]] as a subcategory of Scrolls, but it still didn't list any additional subcategories. A conumdrum.--[[User:Lachlan|Lachlan]] 14:09, 19 November 2009 (PST)
| |
| | |
| **The other categories are there, you just have to page through all the scroll pages to find them. I don't get it. [[User:Aliskye|Aliskye]] 15:43, 19 November 2009 (PST)
| |
| **So the category listing is alphabetizing all images under "I" for "Image:". That's inconvenient. It is possible to change a page's "sort key", the word or words the page will be alphabetized under. I've used this in the Populace category (An even bigger problem than the Scrolls category...) to make names like "Æduin of Skye" alphabetize it under "A" as if it were "AEduin of Skye", rather than placing it way at the end under "Æ". We could force all categories to alphabetize under "+[Name]", which would put them all in the front, alphabetized, but not under "A", "B", etc. Alternatives include not placing any of the images within the Scrolls root category (more the way categories/subcategories are designed to work) or change their sort key to be listed under, say, "~", which would place them all after "Z". Either would involve editing every image. (Sounds horrible, but pales in comparisson to editing every Populace page!) Let me give it a litte more thought.--[[User:Lachlan|Lachlan]] 16:00, 19 November 2009 (PST)
| |
| **It must be a bug in the "Magic Gallery" code. It should place all Media links below all Category and Pages links, but it seems to get wonkey when there are too many Media files. Yesterday, we changed the category page limit to 500, which helps a bit. At least it's only the third page where you find the rest of the subcategories. I do suspect that the best thing to do will be to remove <nowiki>[[Category:Scrolls]]</nowiki> from all the media pages. Then, when the user goes to "Category:Scrolls", they will only see a list of subcategories (and the two pages in the root category), and have to go to a subcategory to see the gallery. But it's up to you, of course.--[[User:Lachlan|Lachlan]] 11:20, 20 November 2009 (PST)
| |
| | |
| ** Well, that sounds like a pain in the butt. But I'd rather do that now and have the subcategories list properly. Thanks for looking in to it! P.S. Does this mean you can't see all the scrolls at once, only by subcategory? [[User:Aliskye|Aliskye]] 12:18, 20 November 2009 (PST)
| |
| **Yes. Exactly.--[[User:Lachlan|Lachlan]] 14:40, 20 November 2009 (PST)
| |
| ** Okay....so can we make a new subcategory that's Category - All scrolls so one still has the option of seeing the entire gallery at once? [[User:Aliskye|Aliskye]] 14:46, 20 November 2009 (PST)
| |
| **Yeah. Sure. That should work. Then at least you won't be putting subcategories and media gallery on the same listing page. I guess change <nowiki>[[Category:Scrolls]]</nowiki> to <nowiki>[[Category:All Scrolls]]</nowiki>--[[User:Lachlan|Lachlan]] 15:24, 20 November 2009 (PST)

| **Thanks Lachlan! I'm glad to know that I still have a wiki job when I finish uploading the photo album images. :) [[User:Aliskye|Aliskye]] 15:32, 20 November 2009 (PST)

| |
| | |
| I created it so we could have a self-maintaining page of Altavia events instead of having to create a table that folks have to remember to update. Granted they have to remember to put AltaviaEvents on as a category, but it's more likely that they'll use previous events as a sample and so include the category than that they'll remember to update the table.--Lynnette 09:41, 22 November 2009 (PST)

| |
|
| |
|
| ===Too much?===
| | The SCA, and people of [[Dreiburgen]] in particular, are referenced/hinted at in the new role-playing supplement ''GURPS Fantasy Folk: Elves.'' which I wrote under my modern name. (Note that the creator of ''GURPS'', Steve Jackson, is an SCA baron, and several ''GURPS'' writers and artists have been involved in the SCA). |
| Did I add too much? I pulled from our household website and my own files. I also used the arms from the Kingdom rolls- those are ok, right?
| |
|
| |
|
| == Kingdom event calendar? ==
| | In part I thank "...the Ek-sen-trik Mountain SCAdians...." The Ek-sen-triks Cluborguild was a college club which more or less became House Grimlove which largely began the Dreiburgen Canton of [[Gallavally]]. |
| Is there a page with the year's kingdom event calendar? I was looking to see when GWW is, and the Black Rose Ball, and a date in September that I have signed up for something non-SCA. Is there a listing of the Kingdom Event Calendar that goes beyond June?
| |
|
| |
|
| Also - any suggestions on where the Research Resources in Caid should really be linked from? My page is too obscure. (and Thanks for making it page of the month! That made me smile) --[[User:EowynA|EowynA]] 13:39, 5 May 2010 (PDT)
| | "Mountain" refers to the mountains of Dreiburgen, and "SCAdians" of course refers to the SCA. I also have "The elven warbow some call ''pagrimuslovus'' is a type of composite longbow made of heartwood, sapwood, and horn, with a string of plant and animal fiber." Caidan [[Paganus Grimlove]] helped me develop that bow and the elven seabow. Caidan [[Rekon of Saaremaa]] was the one who came up with a natural material that would work for the elven seabow. |
|
| |
|
| == Heraldic devices from Kingdom Roll of Arms? ==
| | Note that when I started with ''GURPS'' as a gamemaster (I had never played the game before, although I was first told about it by a Caidan), every one of my players was a Caidan active in the SCA, [[Eldwin Nightowl|as was I]]. Now, I'm only active online as I currently live in the middle of nowhere, three days travel by horse from the nearest SCA group. I'm admin of the unfortunately not very active right now [http://sca.fandom.com SCA Wiki]). |
|
| |
|
| Many of the Populace links go to stubs with no heraldry or information other than the names. I'm already trying to hunt down a few people and see if I can update their pages, but many of the emblazons and blazons are available on the Kingdom Roll of Arms - would there be any issue with me duplicating those images and texts over to individual populace pages? Is there a place where the artists who created those images could be credited on the populace pages here, as they are on the RoA?

Test Area
I use this section to work on wording for new articles as needed. Anything herein should be considered "unofficial", at best.
Whenever possible, populace articles should use the person's name as it is registered with the College of Arms of the Society. Unfortunately, many registered names use accented characters and a few non-Latin characters. When a name contains these characters, its article may be alphabetized by the Wiki some distance from where users will likely look for it. This is particularly true if the special character is the first or second character in the name. For example, the name "Þorfastr Varinsson" will be placed after names which start with "Z" and "Róis ni Brian" will be placed after "Ryuusaki Raiden".

Sort Key
A sort key specifies where the page will appear in the category list, and under which letter heading. (By default, the page is sorted under the first letter of its full name including its namespace.) You can add a sort key to a page by adding it inside the Category tag. For example, adding the tag "[[Category:Populace|Thorfastr Varinsson]]" to the article "Þorfastr Varinsson" would place the article in the Populace category with the "T" names, as expected by users. The altered sort key is not visible to users, however. Only the registered spelling will appear in the category listing, article heading, etc.

Thanks Lachlan! You fill me with confidence! When I get the rest of the coronation scrolls uploaded I'll work on the new page. (It's been really slow and awful editing the wiki lately, or is that just my computer which sorely needs to be replaced.) Look signature: --Aliskye 16:29, 9 July 2013 (PDT)

Users can no longer create accounts. This process can only be completed through the Administrative Staff. Go to Help:New Users for instructions! --Valdis 12:12, 23 November 2013 (PST)
Editors - If you no longer wish to be an active editor, please contact me via email at wiki@caid-commons.org to let me know. The only difference would be that you would no longer be listed on the Editor staff, and would no longer be expected to assume the responsibilities of an editor. You would still be able to edit pages on the Wiki. Thank you for all you have contributed to the Caid Wiki! --Valdis 12:12, 23 November 2013 (PST)
New Help with Scribe pages
Lachlan, can you delete the page for Vashey Bat Abraham? I added him when he did a scroll for us, but I've since started to move all the "foreign" scribes to a single page. We don't need Vashey's page any more. Thanks! Aliskye 16:04, 23 July 2014 (PDT)
Thank You!
Lachlan, Thank you for all the time and effort you have put into the wiki office, and your willingness to step up as administrator when you were needed. Thank you for staying on as an editor. It is very much appreciated! --Kolfinna 10:53, 7 August 2009 (PDT)
GURPS Fantasy Folk: Elves
I don't want to add something to this wiki without knowing if it's OK, so wanted to check first.
The SCA, and people of Dreiburgen in particular, are referenced/hinted at in the new role-playing supplement GURPS Fantasy Folk: Elves. which I wrote under my modern name. (Note that the creator of GURPS, Steve Jackson, is an SCA baron, and several GURPS writers and artists have been involved in the SCA).
In part I thank "...the Ek-sen-trik Mountain SCAdians...." The Ek-sen-triks Cluborguild was a college club which more or less became House Grimlove which largely began the Dreiburgen Canton of Gallavally.
"Mountain" refers to the mountains of Dreiburgen, and "SCAdians" of course refers to the SCA. I also have "The elven warbow some call pagrimuslovus is a type of composite longbow made of heartwood, sapwood, and horn, with a string of plant and animal fiber." Caidan Paganus Grimlove helped me develop that bow and the elven seabow. Caidan Rekon of Saaremaa was the one who came up with a natural material that would work for the elven seabow.
Note that when I started with GURPS as a gamemaster (I had never played the game before, although I was first told about it by a Caidan), every one of my players was a Caidan active in the SCA, as was I. Now, I'm only active online as I currently live in the middle of nowhere, three days travel by horse from the nearest SCA group. I'm admin of the unfortunately not very active right now SCA Wiki).
Would an article on GURPS Fantasy Folk: Elves fit this wiki? Eldwin Nightowl (talk) 14:29, 28 October 2021 (PDT)
