Question
Hey, I just wanted to ask why you deleted Everything Wrong With How to Train Your Dragon 2 from the wiki? Is there a certain explanation?--NightFuryFan (talk) 05:41, January 1, 2018 (UTC)

I thought this way it would be easier to find them, like the gallery sections. If it's not okay, I will remove them.

 Tauriel of Mirkwood ( talk )  14:19, January 1, 2018 (UTC)

Dragonvine
Hi HiccstridFan,

Thought I should let someone know that there seems to be some confusion regarding Dragonvine. The release date has been pushed back for one (only by about a week). And Dark Horse Comics no longer has the book on their site at all. It's as if they no longer want to take responsibility for it. They still have The Serpent's Heir on their site, but not Dragonvine. I checked Amazon and they say the seller is Penguin Random House. So I checked Penguin Random House's website, and they have it listed. That also claim to be the seller for The Serpent's Heir. Both Amazon and PRH give the new release date as February 6 for both print and electronic versions, and they also list Dark Horse as the publisher. You can see the confusion.

I've already updated the release date on the article and removed the Dark Horse reference link since it has since become broken. The Main Page still has the old release date in the count down template however. And we may need to keep an eye on any developments in the coming weeks.

Dragonvine: Update
Hi Hiccstridfan, sorry if I'm bothering you again, but I wanted to update someone on the developments.

As I was starting to suspect, Dark Horse Comics appears to no longer be handling Dragonvine. It looks like it's been handed over to Penguin Random House, and they have pushed the publication date to August 7, 2018. At the moment only an e-book is listed so there's a possibility it won't be in print after all.

Amazon still has the release date as February 6, but I expect that'll change soon. I'm hesitant to change the release date or publisher's info on the Dragonvine page until Amazon reflects these changes.

This is so incredibly frustrating. 😡

Appearances template
Since you're the one who created the appearances templates, are they to be used on character pages only, or they can be used too on pages of objects, locations etc?

Since Mala and Throk didn't make much of an appearance in season 5, I think it would be better to have the galleries united, as it was the case for Gallery: Skullcrusher / Dragons: Race to the Edge, Season 4 and 5, for example. What do you think?

 Tauriel of Mirkwood ( talk )  19:24, January 17, 2018 (UTC)

Haven't we blocked him before for this? Yeah, he's obviously not listening.--

So, I know about the problem with Youngtrainer and I talked to him and he said that he will not upload that many images, but he would like to take care of the images from the new season (by that I think he meant that he would like to upload most of the images, since he's not very good at editing other things). He also said that he would like to collaborate with others who are willing to talk to him.

Hi, I added a trivia saying dagur and heather may die/leave during this season and it got taken down, you sent me a terror mail saying not to put up incorrect info, but that could happen, and this season is supposed to explain what happens to everything from the series in httyd 2, so why did it get removed?

Correct info gets taken down
I started putting stuff in the trivia section like "this is the final season of Dreamworks Dragon" or "This season may offer a reason for why characters like Dagur, Heather, the Defenders of the Wing etc. are not in How to Train Your Dragon 2" But it gets taken down and I'm told not to put up incorrect information. This is not incorrect so why is getting taken down!

Unnamed Islands Page
Hey, I am seeking your opinion on the Unnamed Islands page. I've asked HTTYD Big Fan also. It seems to be getting too large and unwieldly. From my screen, the infoboxes and associated texts seen to get misaligned. Is there a way to get them "anchored" to each other? Or should we break the page up? If so, how? A large portion of the page is just from RttE, and there's still more to add.

Lady Brasa (  talk  )  17:16, February 19, 2018 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll think on it. The other question is, when titling the split pages, should it be something like "Unnamed Islands (comics and games)", "Unnamed Islands / Comics and Games", "Unnamed Islands I", or something similar?

Lady Brasa (  talk  )  17:29, February 19, 2018 (UTC)

Hey again, I split up the Unnamed Island Page a bit and put the box like you do with galleries. Except the link to the new sub-pages are red-linked. Do you know why? The new pages are: Unnamed Islands / Riders of Berk and Defenders of Berk, Unnamed Islands / Dragons: Race to the Edge Seasons 1-3, and Unnamed Islands / Dragons: Race to the Edge Season 4-6.

Lady Brasa (  talk  )  02:17, February 22, 2018 (UTC)

Someone has altered the links on the Unnamed Islands page to the sub pages. I changed one back so you can see. The link is still red-linked if I use the template to go to a sub-page like in the galleries. I think this is because it's adding or "Gallery:" in front of the page title. I like the idea of having a pic or to link to sub-pages like in the galleries, but not sure that particular template will work ...

Sorry, me again, I piddled around with it a little and there are three possibilities, so if you can check out the Unnamed Islands page and see what you think is best, that's be great. Thanks!

Speed Stinger Island and Changewing Island ...
So I wanted to ask your opinion on some locations seen in RttE. There have been a few episode throughout the seasons, and most notable in A Gruff Separation that show an island with Speed Stingers. I don't recall the episodes ever naming the island(s). On the official RttE map, there is a Speed Stinger Island. I am guessing they are one in the same, but can't prove it. Do you know of any other info or ways to connect them?

Same with the island the Twins go to to get Changewing sheds - I don't recall them stating that is Changewing Island, but guess it to be so ... any way to prove it?

Any thoughts? Otherwise I'll just put them on Unnamed Islands page and comment that they "might" be Speed Stinger or Changewing Islands ...

Featured Articles
Hi! I first talked with Woolly since it was her idea in the first place and she agreed that we should change the featured articles at the beginning of every season (spring, summer, autumn, winter). Are you okay with that? If so, since March is only a few days away, what pages should we feature? I was thinking that the featured other should be Dragons: Race to the Edge, Season 6.

 Tauriel of Mirkwood ( talk )  12:52, February 25, 2018 (UTC)

So, Alexa suggested the Dramillion or Bewilderbeast for the featured dragon and Viggo or Johann for the featured character. I was thinking that the Dramillion and Viggo would be the better choices. What do you think?

"Chick-ly" ...
I see you are online so I just wanted to ask your opinion on something from Season 6. In "A Gruff Separation", Gruffnut approaches Tuffnut while he is training Chicken's chicks. He says "That's it, little chick-ly." In subtitles "chick-ly" is not capitalized. I listened to it a few times and it does not sound like he said "Chicklet", to me anyway. Do you think this is the name of one of the other chicks? It might just be a 'pet name', so to speak, but I've personally never heard that word before. What do you think?

Lady Brasa (  talk  )  15:21, March 5, 2018 (UTC)

Okay, so to clarify, no page for a "chick-ly" but can be added to "Chicklet's" page, maybe as Trivia or something. Thank you!

Templates
Hey, I am messaging you concerning the use of templates on our Wiki, as there have been several new people (like joined in the last month or so?) that have either been commenting about or deleting or not adding parts of templates on pages. Typically it is the Appearances templates, Character infobox, or Dragon infobox. It is my understanding from the Manual of Style, not to mention editing on the Wiki for a few years, that we are to use or copy/paste a template in its entirety even if an attribute/line is left blank. My understanding is that this is necessary because a template may be potentially distorted or out of order if not copied in its entirety. Also, it makes it much easier to have the attribute/line item already listed if new or additional information needs to be added to a template in the future. And, well, it is just the way we do things - in the beginning of my time here I did truncate infoboxes, but if I recall when Annabeth became Bureaucrat, she had to go back and fix all of them (specifically, it was the Book dragon species pages).

So, my questions are, is that correct?? Also, how can this be communicated to the new editors? Perhaps some re-wording or clarification in the MoS? I'm not sure.

Thank you Lady Brasa (  talk  )  23:29, March 7, 2018 (UTC)

Thanks so much for taking you time to read and write a reply, and also for looking into the MoS language and welcome messages!

I have contacted one person twice about it and received no response. I just contacted another this evening. Also I have entered reasons on many (but not all) of the "Undo Edits" I have done. I don't know if it might be some sort of communication barrier? Anyway, if they persist after being asked to desist, I'll let you know.

Thanks again! Lady Brasa (  talk  )  00:17, March 8, 2018 (UTC)

New Category Request
Hello HiccstridFan92

I would like to request a new category page for cannibalistic dragons, since with the new additions of Race to the Edge the total number of "cannibalistic" dragons or dragons that include other dragons in their diet has increased tremendously. In total we now have Red/Green Deaths, Scauldrons, Changewings, Death Songs, Slitherwings, Cavern Crashers and possibly Shadow Wings.

Thank you for your time

Can you please block User:Razorfriend? The user thought it would be fun to create two accounts without realizing it was against Fandom rules. And if possible, could you only block the one account and not the IP address, because the user was very apologetic and polite when I confronted them about it, and they are behaving otherwise with the account they wish to keep.

I would like to nominate Dragons: Rescue Riders to be deleted. This page should not have been created until we got an announcement from DWA. It has so far built false expectations that has made some fans agressive and is appearantly a page younger fans are using as their main source. All the sources we have been provided are ambiguous at best thus far and even Icelandiceel from GrapeVine admitted on his podcast that there is actually no solid proof for RR yet. This is also taking the attention away from HTTYD 3 which will be getting a trailer soon. Can we delete this page until we get an official announcement? We can restore it again once we have a tagline/logline which I believe will not happen until 2019. Netflix have said there are no shows on their slate before HTTYD 3. --  AlexaDragons   ( talk ) 00:27, March 19, 2018 (UTC)

I'm a little confused. Why is there a 'video player' playing videos of Dagur, Ruffnut and the Triplestryke on top Astrid Hofferson's profile page? The strangest part is that the player keeps appearing and disappearing from the page.

 AlexaDragons   ( talk ) 21:47, March 23, 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for your response. Yeah, I talked to Annabeth about it last night and she told me this is something the Fandom Staff has decided and that everyone hates it. She said she doesn't like it and would prefer if they had just used clips without the fan naratation. I asked her if I should message Fandom Staff about it and she said I could give it a try. So I have messaged them, though I doubt they will listen to us. My biggest issue with the videos are that they are fanvideos. They are not official videos published by DreamWorks Animation but videos made by a fan who is using stolen, copyrighted material without DreamWorks' permission. There is even the Cartoon Network logo visible on some of the clips so this person has illegally downloaded the clips. His naratation is also rather subjective and assumptive. If DWA or any of the other companies decide to take action, it will be on the Fandom Staff's hands. Hopefully it will not hurt any of the Wikis. I wish they had asked all the community members first before adding this feature or at least given the Wikis the option to switch it off. But like you said, we will just have to live with it for now.

 AlexaDragons   ( talk ) 12:46, March 24, 2018 (UTC)

So I just got a response from Fandom Staff. They think that since the videos are created by them that they don't count as fan videos. They also don't care about copyright infringement since they think it's unlikely that DWA will send them a takedown notice. They offered us the option to write the script for the featured videos but then we will have to fill out a form and at the end of the day it will still be fan created with stolen clips and subjective to some degree. I guess these videos are here to stay no matter what. --  AlexaDragons   ( talk ) 22:42, March 27, 2018 (UTC)

More fan art theft
Hi HiccstridFan,

We have another user posting fan art and claiming it's theirs. They managed to stay under the radar for the last few days, but were called out twice this morning.

--🍀 Dublyn~ (  talk  ) 15:15, April 2, 2018 (UTC)

Hi HiccstridFan,

I was actually planning on leaving you a message sometime this morning. Perfect timing!

I see you've seen what's been going on in Discussions overnight. And thanks for sending her a warning. I actually gave her one yesterday in this post of hers. The discussion that follows may also be of interest to you. As a side note she also attempted to report each of my comments not knowing that I'd be the one getting the reports.

And if you haven't already seen them, the comments under this post of hers may also be of interest to you. With some other users' help, we found the original artists of five different pieces of fan art that she claimed to have drawn and I posted the links to them all in one comment for quick reference purposes.

I noticed you at least saw the two posts I linked to above as you deleted them, but if you don't mind I temporarily un-deleted them just long enough for both you and her to see the responses. I think she needs to see how serious this is, the evidence we have against her, and that none of us are being fooled anymore. As of my typing this, she appears to be online right now and just tried lying again here. I did however lock each of her posts so the discussions and drama can stop (I also deleted a new post by a different user trying to stir up new drama concerning her).

Anyway, just thought you might want to see the bigger picture than what that one post you commented on could show.

Background image and others
Hey, I'm not sure it was you or maybe it was Woolly, but is it possible to change the Christmas/Snoggletog background for the Wiki? It's cute and all, but way past season now. Obviously not a big thing, but it'd be nice.

Also just as an FYI, user Share26 has been altering dragon stats, pretty much the sizes, on 'gigantic' dragon species. Myself and others have reverted his edits several times. No one can find these numbers, and some are made up (for example, the Purple Death (Franchise)). As far as I can tell, he may be doing the same thing on one or two other HTTYD Wikis in German and Russian, though I can't be for sure since I don't really know those languages. I just sent a message to please stop or provide data, so we'll see what the response is.

New background theme
Hi! I noticed that you changed the background theme. Great choice! However, I don't know if you noticed, but the color of the navigation bar is pretty much the same as the wiki's logo's, which looks a bit... let's say weird. Would you be able to change it to a lighter shade of red, or perhaps another color? Also, the old navigation bar had an image that blended with the color. Should this one have an image too? If yes, I was thinking about this one, since the background color is very close to red. What do you think?

 Tauriel of Mirkwood ( talk )  17:37, April 6, 2018 (UTC)

 Tauriel of Mirkwood ( talk )  18:17, April 6, 2018 (UTC)

Hey, It looks like you were able to change the back ground! Should I still message Woolly to see if she already has some layouts selected? I think the background right now is fine, at least temporarily. I see that HTTYD Big Fan also noticed that the logo blended with the menu bar ... personally I'm partial to blue and that would show up well :) But red won the color scheme poll thingie a while back, oh well.

Telling “time” on the Wiki
Sorry, I read your congratulations to HTTYD big fan for making it to 200 day’s on the Wiki! It’s very hard! Like you, I have gotten close and then one slip up and it resets all the way back to zero (very frustrating)! However, I am curious- not complaining! - has something changed recently how the days are counted? It was counted by 24 hour period from the last time you logged in. I realized this when I missed doing so by like 30 min or an hour. However recently it seems to be counting from midnight to midnight. For example, due to work and other engagements, yesterday I was not able to do anything on the Wiki for about 25 hours. Previously mine would have reset, but has not today. Again, not complaining! Just curious!

Hey :) I was wondering if we could create a subcategory for all the HTTYD 3 related galleries? There are so many and I think it would make the main category page look more organized and cleaner (like the HTTYD 2 page).

I'm also wondering if we should rename the HTTYD 3 category page or just stick with the old name since this movie still counts as the third installment of the trilogy. What do you think? --  AlexaDragons   ( talk ) 00:07, April 18, 2018 (UTC)

First Chief of Berk page ...
So the page 1st Chief of Berk - was that supposed to be deleted? It is unclear from the comments section. If not, do you know where the written information was obtained? It has been a while since I watched Riders and Defenders episodes, but I don't remember anything about convincing the son to murder the father and starting the war with dragons and so on ...

Hi HiccstridFan,

Thank you so much for the message. Regarding the user who I said got into trouble with Fandom staff. Remember the serious fan art theft from a few weeks ago? In your latest message to me about it you said her case was serious enough to pass onto Fandom staff to deal with. She didn't post any more after you told me that, and she never showed up in our local block list, so I just assumed you (or Annabeth) had reported her and she was given a global block by Fandom staff. Apologies if I misspoke.

Ah yes, the YouTube video. It was targeted more at Alexa than me, but yes, I would consider it cyber bullying. To review what happened-- Just over a month ago Alexa and the YouTuber got into it regarding Rescue Riders in a thread in Discussions. It got very heated and the YouTuber started calling her names. So I locked the thread, and left a message on the YouTuber's talk page explaining why I locked the thread and deleted a few of her inflammatory comments, and how her behavior had become inappropriate. The following day while doing a web search to stay on top of HTTYD news, a YouTube video popped up with Alexa's name. In short, the YouTuber continued to call her out for "lying" and how wiki staff aren't doing a very good job if they're allowing one of their own to lie. She also featured my message to her and told me to butt out and mind my own business, and how I might be able to lock a thread and delete her comments, but I'm not going to be able to stop her from making a YouTube video to bring attention to the matter. To finish, the YouTuber is the owner of Viking Nation: one of the most popular Dragonite channels with followers world wide. I don't recall how many followers she has but it's a lot.

My biggest struggle as a moderator is what to do when non-English speaking users try to talk to us. In my perspective, they may not be trying to break the rules; they probably can't even read them! So I usually try to communicate with them using an online translator, and tell them they can also use an online translator to talk to us. But for whatever reason, they don't and continue to post in their native language. This of course is against the rules and looks like spam. I've tried translating their posts myself, but other users get aggravated that the user in question is still posting at all, and I get criticized for that. I eventually have to turn to deleting their posts without notice or explanation. What's especially frustrating, and perhaps you can help with this, is after a certain user refused to be responsive to my attempts to communicate with them and telling them to speak English, I finally reported them to Annabeth, but she never took action. So I was forced to continue handling the user's posts and everyone else was annoyed by it all until the user finally became inactive. On a lesser note, I've seen many users say they hate when too many images appear in Discussions, and start calling it spam. I've gotten criticized for allowing that "spam" too. It's just a downside to the new image upload tool that was added a few months ago; it's made posting images a little too easy and it can be easily abused.

Anyway, thanks for listening. I had an idea of what I was getting into when I asked to become the DiscMod. It's actually been rewarding and I enjoy it for the most part. I've been able to handle what's been thrown at me so far so no worries. And thank you so much for the kind words. It means a lot, it does. 😊 I've learned a lot these post few months and am still learning, but it helps to still get some encouragement and reassurance.

Thanks again, HiccstridFan!

Abuse and Vandalism alert
This user is making counterproductive edits and reverts, renaming pages to gibberish, and asking another user for their password. Needless to say their user name is also inappropriate. At further investigation, the user they're attempting to intimidate is a bureaucrat of another Wiki, from which the abuser has been blocked.

--🍀 Dublyn~ (  talk  ) 21:12, April 22, 2018 (UTC)

Thanks, Hiccstridfan. It was worrisome how he wasn't stopping, and who knows how much more he would have tried later. Do we even have any Rollbacks here? Think Annabeth will allow me to be one? That would have made reverting this guy's edits much quicker and easier.

--🍀 Dublyn~ (  talk  ) 00:27, April 23, 2018 (UTC)

Thank you! 😊

Drop Down Menu
Ever so briefly, but in the main header/drop down menu, Stoick's (franchise) link is broken and so is the Regatta's (along with being misspelled). And now the HTTYD3 link is broken too. When you get a chance, could you please fix them? I was also hoping the Discussion Rules might be added to the Policies tab of the menu. All that's under the Policies tab now are the guidelines for editing the wiki, which serves no propose to most of the users who use Discussions. It'd be nice if they had quick access to the Discussions Rules, too.

Thank you so much!

Edit: Someone else alerted Annabeth about the Regatta link. Looks like she removed it from the menu entirely. But I just now noticed that the "(more...)" link under the "Events and Practices" tab leads to the infobox rather than the category.

Sorry
Sorry for evading my block on my other account here. Is this account going to be blocked too? Hiccstridfan92 (talk) 03:03, April 24, 2018 (UTC)

The issues last night
Thank you. I figured there was no need to alert either of you this time as he left messages on your Talk pages, thus alerting you for me. 😏 Besides, I know I've been pestering you more than usual lately. I assume you saw all that he did last night? Including the messages he left on Annabeth's and my Talk pages? This guy is a trip! I'm glad I was online and able to shoot his edits down as fast as he made them.

And thanks for fixing the broken links in the drop down menu! No need to rush in adding Discussion Rules to the Policies tab, you can do it when you're able. Oh, and remember the "(more...)" link under the "Events and Practices" tab leads to the Events infobox instead of the category.

Thanks again, HiccstridFan! 😊

Hi, HiccstridFan92! Sorry about the misunderstandings on the global block. Anyways, glad to see you back! :P Cheetawolfnitrotyper (talk) 20:05, April 24, 2018 (UTC)

Hey, just wanted to follow up on what your thoughts were (posted a few sections back) about the 1st Chief of Berk page?

Lady Brasa (  talk  )  00:38, April 26, 2018 (UTC)

Hello HiccstridFan92! I don't really know how to edit quotes. If you could tell me how I would give you as many Dragon Eye lenses as I could find. Thanks lots! But I can't really give you a Dragon Eye lens as the Dragon Riders destroyed them both at the end of Race To The Edge.

I sure hope they make you an admin for this Wiki for all your tolerance and contributions.

Among many other reasons
