Scauldron Island
I have created a page for Scauldron Island, Can you put it on the navbox map, please?

Ladybrasa (talk) 02:37, March 28, 2017 (UTC)  =^..^=

Sleipnir Island is ready to be added to the map navbox! Someone had already created its page earlier this month.

Ladybrasa (talk) 01:01, March 29, 2017 (UTC)

Speed Stinger Island is ready to be added to the map navbox!

Ladybrasa (talk) 02:38, March 30, 2017 (UTC)

Sorry again. For whatever reason my stupid computer/internet/wiki is not allowing me to create new pages again. I won't be able to try again - if it works - until after work tomorrow. So, if it isn't too much trouble, might you be able to create the following page for Sunken City? I will try to post the code below and all it would need is to be copy/pasted (with whatever edits you see fit, of course!). I'm sorry, whatever is going on to prevent me from creating pages only sometimes is vastly irritating!!

Sunken City is a location searchable by Toothless in the game, Dragons: Rise of Berk.

Geography
This oddly named island doesn't appear to have human structures on it, based on its image on Hiccup's Race to the Edge map. It looks rather barren, perhaps muddly (solely based on the darker brown shade) with a lake and either a mountain or a pit at its center.

Other Appearances
Sunken City does appear on the Interactive Map on the Dragons: Race To the Edge website. The island thus far is not featured in this TV series, however.

Sunstone Island
Below is code for Sunstone Island. If you could copy/paste it onto a new page, that's be great. Sorry for having to ask this! Also, both Sunken City and Sunstone Island can go on the map in the navbox.

Sunstone Island is an island appearing in Dragons: Defenders of Berk, and is also location

searchable by Toothless in the game, Dragons: Rise of Berk.

Geography
According to the image of Sunstone Island on Hiccup's Race to the Edge map, it has much vegetation and

perhaps large old trees, based on the single tree stylized on the map image.

"Appetite for Destruction"
The Dragon Riders survey dragon populations on several islands. The Riders have marked the dragons of

Sunstone Island with orange paint. As the Riders each mark dragons, they realize that dragons from one

island are ending up on the others. They discover that these islands are being systematically destroyed

and the dragon populations are migrating. A Screaming Death is responsible, destroying islands as it

makes its way to Berk.

Other Appearances
Sunstone Island does appear on the Interactive Map on the Dragons: Race To the Edge website. However, no

special description is given.

Trivia

 * Historically, there is an as-yet unproven theory that Vikings used sunstones to help navigate their longships. Sunstone is a mineral that is able to polarize light, so in theory a Viking at sea could look through the stone and find out where the Sun was located on a cloudy day.

Changes
Oh my god! All the changes that have happened! Wow! Good work! - lavamelon  ( talk ) 13:59, March 30, 2017 (UTC)

You know how I haven't really been active here in a while? Lots has happened, lots of things I planned to do I have wonderfully found done! Like the "Archives" thing. Anyhow, I won't archive my talk until the one year anniversary of my joining this wiki takes place. I also like all the templates with quotes that are at the top of the pages! I was planning on doing that too. Good work! - lavamelon  ( talk ) 14:06, March 30, 2017 (UTC)

Location Pages and Such
Sorry to bother you again. STILL not able to create a page this evening so ... if you don't mind copying and pasting again? Thank you!!!

Also, Speed Stinger Island is ready to put on the Map in the Navbox!

Swarmlands
The Swarmlands is a location searchable by Toothless in the game, Dragons: Rise of Berk.

Geography
There is an image that appears on Hiccup's Race to the Edge Map. However, it is rather nondescript - brown with no indication of contour or vegetation.

Other Appearances
The Swarmlands do appear on the Interactive Map on the Dragons: Race To the Edge website. The island thus far is not featured in this TV series, however.

Tall Tree Island
Tall Tree Island is an island that first appeared in "Appetite for Destruction".

"Appetite for Destruction"
The Dragon Riders survey dragon populations on several islands. Fishlegs marks the dragons of Tall Tree Island with green paint. As the Riders each mark dragons, they realize that dragons from one island are ending up on the others. They discover that these islands are being systematically destroyed and the dragon populations are migrating. A Screaming Death is responsible, destroying islands as it makes its way to Berk.

Team Hiccup
  is a location searchable by Toothless in the game, Dragons: Rise of Berk.

And yet again, I can create pages, I can't create pages, I can create pages, and at present I can't! So So frustrating. Below is another page if you don't mind copy/pasting it. If I can create pages again before you get on, I'll let you know. Thank you!

Also Thor Rock Island is ready to be added to the Navbox Map!

Thorstopia
EDIT: I had posted code to copy/paste, but, right this moment, I was able to do it myself! Yay! So I deleted it so your talk page won't get too long from all my prattling!

Ladybrasa (talk) 19:05, March 31, 2017 (UTC)

Thunderclaw Island
Was able to add this one myself later on also, but Thunderclaw Island still needs to be added to the Map in the NavBox. Thank you!

Whispering Death Island
Whispering Death Island is ready to be added to the Map in the Navbox!

(Almost) Final Locations on Location List
Tyr Island is ready to be added to the Navbox Map! As far as I know of, this location isn't seen anywhere else?

Made a page for Mount Ymir, but it is in desperate need of images. I am not able to do it at the moment :(

So we only need a page for "School of Dragons (Island)" and then to check over the locations on the navbox map. I had updated some, but not all yet.

THANK YOU
Hello! I just want to say thank you for doing and helping so much on this wiki! You've worked on some of my favorite pages and I just want to say thank you! Well. . . uh. . . Thanks!

Thanks for reading my request.
People in china always say that in Singapore, people can also speak chinese,and I don't know if it is true :P. If you can read chinese, I think I can explain the things more clearly in chinese:

十分感谢您抽空阅读我发送的内容！

在跨维基农场的情况下，interwiki link是无法使用的，除非我们手动更改相关代码和程序. 然而，更改维基的interwiki link需要stuff权限.

huiji的管理员（有在wikia编辑的经历）告诉我，wikia的站长可以自己更改interwiki，在special:interwiki里，但是我不太确定.

在huiji，网站方面已经提供了一套模板，使编辑者可以方便地添加指向wikipedia和wikia英文页面的链接，而我不太清楚wikia是否有相似的机制. 详情请看：帮助:跨语言链接. 如果说直接用interwiki link会比较困难的话，您可以用添加外链的方式来添加链接.

我非常希望我们双方能在主页加上对方的链接，促进我们的交流和合作. 如果贵站想使用wikia提供的interwiki link，链接贵站和驯龙的中文wikia站点的话，完全没有问题. 当然，如果贵站允许直接添加huiji的链接，我将感到万分荣幸！

关于“驯龙记”和“驯龙高手”两个维基的问题. 首先在2010年本片上映时，在香港台湾和中国大陆等地，就使用了不同的译名，目前的现状是，这两个译名在中国大陆同时被粉丝们使用. 在我刚刚接触wiki时，因为我对这里的环境不太熟悉，就有了一些小小的失误. 现在这两个站是作为一种类似“重链接”的角色出现.

（其实比起片名，角色的名字更加混乱. 比如Hiccup就有“小嗝嗝”（官方的）、“希卡普”、“卡嗝”等多个中文译名，这对使用单一标准译名表的中文维基来说，无疑是一大挑战. ）

最后恭祝生活愉快，祝贵站越办越好！

The interwiki link will not work if we are in different wiki farms, only if we ask stuff to change the code for us, but we will never know how they think about this... (some of the website managers said we can change them in "special:interwiki")

To add the link in the main page we can try to use this below:

[Chinese]

so it will looks like Chinese Wiki

In huiji they provide a template to build a inter-wiki-farm link such as wikia:pagename So we can offer our users the English version conveniently. 帮助:跨语言链接

If you want to build a link to zh-wikia site, there will be no problem. But I hope you can build the link to huiji. It might be a little difficult to link EVERY pages between the two wiki farms. Or maybe using template can work but I am not sure. But I think it is unnecessary now:P.

Best wishes,

MycroftQin

Re: Sea Stacks
Actually there is already a page, Sea Stacks, that looks like it was created last year. It really needs some help, though! As to adding it to the map, sure!

Ladybrasa (talk) 00:16, April 1, 2017 (UTC)ladybrasa

Certainly start adding dragons! But I haven't finished going over some of the locations on the map part of the navbox. I think there are more that are mentioned in ROB.

Also, Edge Cove ... Should that location be combined with the Dragon's Edge page, since its on the same island? Also, Snotlout has a Journey in ROB for "Edge Cave" ... if Edge Cove has its own page, should "Edge Cave" have one?

And, ROB has a search location called Hunter Island. Do you think that is meant to be a separate location than Dragon Hunter Island?

Also, a location called "Northern Swamp" featured in "Fright of Passage" - I haven't watched the Defenders of Berk for a few years. Do you recall if this location is on Berk, or somewhere else near Berk? The Wikia entry leads me to think its on Berk ... do you recall?

I just feel like there are so many other islands/locations that are missing! :(

Ladybrasa (talk) 03:02, April 2, 2017 (UTC)  =^..^=

Okie Dokie, I'll start working on it!

Any images you can find would be great!

Also, I've been looking back at the episode summaries on the wikia, and came across a few more locations, most un-named. ONLY IF YOU HAVE TIME, could you possibly confirm these islands and get screen shots?

1) Defenders of Berk - "Tunnel Vision" - Our page indicates that the Screaming Death rests on an un-named island at the end of the show.

2) Northern Swamp - working on this one.

3) "Appetite for Destruction" - I think all those islands could benefit from more screen shots. Also, there is a fan version of the map from that episode here. Is there actually a "Last Island" or is it purely made up?

4) In "We Are Family, Part 1", Snotlout flies off angry and dubs an island "Snotland".

5) There are several mentions of Heather's "Home Island" in Defenders of Berk. I think this is the home island of her adoptive parents? We didn't know about her connection with Dagur and the Berserkers yet at that time. Is there any other info on "Heather's Island"?

Ladybrasa (talk) 23:02, April 3, 2017 (UTC)

Re:Unnamed Islands+Sourcing Pictures Update
PLEASE, take all the time you want! Real Life takes precedent!

Turns out, thanks to Netflix allowing download of episodes, I can get screen shots on my phone from an RttE episodes! They are the best, but not bad either! So I can work on those, slowly!

I'll get to work on "Snotland"!

Ladybrasa (talk) 13:29, April 4, 2017 (UTC)

Oops, seems Snotland is in "Cast Out, Part 1" not "We Are Family, Part 1"!

Also my computer is acting up again >:(

Snotland
Snotland is a small island that appears in the Dragons: Defenders of Berk episode, "Cast Out, Part 1".

Geography
Snotland is a small island of mostly sand and rocky spires. There are a few stubby trees, which Hookfang promptly incinerates.

"Cast Out, Part 1"
Snotlout is grounded from flying and kicked out of the Academy, for making reckless decisions that negatively affect his teammates. In defiance, he flies away from Berk and lands on an island he dubs "Snotland". As he later finds out, he and Hookfang are not the only residents.

So last week I created the merchandise portal page, and included links to several pages for different types of merchandise. I created the DVD page, but only added one DVD. I also so far have only uploaded one picture that is needed for the links to the places that are selling that specific piece of merchandise. I uploaded the Amazon, and will get the others uploaded shortly. What I want to ask is if you could help get the pages for the merchandise, such as the DVD page, a page for the games, and other pages set up. It is a lot of work, and I definitely need help. I have seen how much you have done on this wiki, and what you have done is not the easiest of things to do. That is why I am asking if you could help out with that. Also, I am trying to come up with pictures that would be in the boxes on the merchandise portal, which you would click to follow to the pages with the merchandise. I saw how you came up with brilliant pictures for the templates I had added, and that you updated the templates in such a way that makes see that you are much more creative than me in coming up with good pictures for things like that, and in this franchise for the specific types of merchandise there are not any good pictures that I can think of that would work to go in the boxes for each type of merchandise, which is where your creativity and great thinking come in handy to choose a fitting picture for each box that pertains to particular bit of merchandise. Anyway, any help with the merchandise portal and the merchandise pages will be appreciated. One other thing is that I think you are deserving of admin rights, and I will say as much to Annabeth in the message I will give to her. I think your creativity could help with updating the achievement badges once you have admin rights since those need updating and need to be personalized for our wiki, with the default names replaced with names that fit with our franchise, and with pictures from this franchise instead of the default ones as well. HiccstridFan92 (talk) 16:29, April 7, 2017 (UTC)

Done (permanently)! Welcome to the admin team. You've done an awesome job. I hope you stay around forever! Lol.--

Re:Unnamed Islands+Sourcing Pictures Update (again)
Hey, seems like we both had the same ideas about images for the island Heather is on in "Have Dragon Will Travel, Part 1"  :)  Since many are quite similar, maybe you could delete some of the images? Keep which ever are the better ones? I've added them to the Unnamed Island page.

Thanks!

Ladybrasa (talk) 22:29, April 7, 2017 (UTC)

Yes, the pictures have to fit the size of the dimensions of the portal box. I only created the one size of portal box, but there are other portal box templates that can be created as well. Here is the link to the merchandise portal. The merchandise portal is not a template but rather a page, with links to the pages for different types of merchandise. HiccstridFan92 (talk) 22:49, April 7, 2017 (UTC)

I noticed you customized the badge names and pictures for the episode edit track. I just want to mention that that track is not being used as the media track is in it's place because it covers all the episodes, films, shorts, and other media, and not just the episodes. I made the episodes edit track before, I was asked to make it a media edit track instead, and I had to create a whole separate track for it since once a track is made you can't remove it or rename, and I just disabled that edit track for the reason that media track covered what it covered and more. HiccstridFan92 (talk) 13:58, April 8, 2017 (UTC)

One thing I see that you missed is that you did not do anything with the transcript edit track dor thr achievement badges. That track still has default pictures and names. HiccstridFan92 (talk) 16:23, April 8, 2017 (UTC)

Great job with the achievement badges. One more thing I noticed that for the badge for 25 edits to transcripts, that while it has been given a new name, it's picture is still the default picture. HiccstridFan92 (talk) 02:18, April 9, 2017 (UTC)

Pages for deletion? Really? I thought I cleaned those up a long time ago, though I guess there've been new ones since then and I haven't checked. But I'd really much rather not have something like that. I doubt users would use it anyway when they can just leave a comment about it on the page itself, though they should be reminded that they're just as capable of editing the page themselves (unless it's locked, which, unfortunately, we can't see unless they tell us). I don't want to have a page to look at for reports when I really prefer to get a message on my talk page as that would send me a notice and I will see it. So, I appreciate the suggestion, but let's not have something like that.--

Your welcome! Only a question: the dragons images in those templates MUST be always transparent or I can put whatever image of that dragon? Httyd big fan (talk) 05:19, April 10, 2017 (UTC)

I just want to get back to you about the Merchandise Portal and the merchandise pages it will link to. The one page I have created but not yet completed is a good example, and it is the pages that will contain all the DVD's, and their price and where they are sold. The link to it is here. Just so you do not have to go back and search for the link to the merchandise portal page that link is here. Just to say that the pages I am talking about are one's that would contain information about different types of merchandise, and the specific items that pertain to each one, along with the prices, and where they are sold. The only thing that makes sense is to have all of one type of merchandise on one page, and all another on another, and so on and so forth. The merchandise portal to me is something that will help those users to know all the merchandise that is out there that relates to How to Train Your Dragon, and to easily get to a website where a specific item is available to purchase, and that to me is something that is important for us to do but has not been done to this point, so setting this up is important.

Unnamed Island and Others ...
Just to let you know, for whatever reason, I can't even edit any pages (except your talk page apparently) right now. I am on a different computer, too. And its only this Wiki. I can edit any other wiki, just not this one. We'll see if I try yet another computer, I guess, a little later. But this is getting tiresome and frustrating! Any ideas? Anyway, just to let you know I'd still like to work on the islands and locations, I just can't!

Ladybrasa (talk) 22:42, April 11, 2017 (UTC)

So last night, I was able to stay after work on a work computer and access the Wikia. I was able to access any Wikia in Firefox, except this one, to edit or create new pages. However, I was able to edit a page through Internet Explorer at work, but only - I guess its called - the Classic Editor. It was something :/   Now at home again tonight, can't access anything except your talk page!!

So, only if you have time, can you post the following thing(s)?

Please add to Ostara Isle:
(And update the info box with the new info, please! In case it hasn't been added to the Wikia yet, Springwing is a special Changewing)

To Add to Unnamed Islands:
(Please add between the "In Tone Death" entry and the "In Dragon Down (Comic)" entry)

In "Midnight Scrum"
"Midnight Scrum", and episode in Dragons: Race to the Edge, Season 4, starts with Hiccup running from a number of other Vikings of unknown origins. Toothless, Astrid, and Stormfly save him from being caught. They find out that Viggo Grimborn has placed a sizeable bounty on Hiccup's head.

This island appears rather large with mixed forests of deciduous trees with spear-shaped leaves and conifers. There are ample grassy slopes. Toothless is seen carrying a bucket of harvested ripe red apples.

In "Not Lout"
In the Dragons: Race to the Edge, Season 4 episode, "Not Lout", Hiccup discovers the source of the Dragons Hunter's abundant supply of Dragon Root arrows. They have a farming operation on this unnamed island. However, what Hiccup takes to be a plot of hidden Dragon Root plants under a camouflaged canopy, actually turns out to be large arrow-shooting weapons. Snotlout, having stayed behind on this mission, realizes that the canopies may be a trap, because Dragon Root plants require sun to grow, not shade.

The island is large with two snow-topped mountains and sparse wooded areas, some of which might be Dragon Root trees. The Dragon Hunters have established several buildings for farming and processing Dragon Root here, as well. The island also has at least one beach and docking area for ships.

Ladybrasa (talk) 01:19, April 14, 2017 (UTC)

So I can edit Talk pages in Firefox, and edit/add other pages in Explorer (classic editor only), but that's something I guess. Thank you for putting that stuff up!

Gotta a few questions:

1) The tavern - I have some screenshots and re-watched the episode ... I don't see how we know the tavern is located on Outcast Island? It wasn't mentioned as being located there, that I noticed. How do we know this?

2) Dragon Hunter Island - Viggo's camp, the marble dome, and the Dragon auction Viggo holds - how do we know this is Dragon Hunter Island? In Between a Rock and a Hard Place, Hiccup only refers to it as "Viggo's Island". And to my recollection, the location name of the Dragon auction is never said in Last Auction Heroes. The interactive RttE Map only says its a major port for Dragon trade. Are we just assuming this, or was it mentioned elsewhere?

Thanks!

Wow! You do whatever you wish with the badges. I'll only intervene if I see something I don't like (not likely). Also, I would like to say, maybe we can purge a bunch of categories? Like do we need categories such as How to Be a Pirate that include everything that appeared in that piece of media. Like for example, you can see how messy the categories on pages such as Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III (Franchise). Take a look at this page. The categories look so much neater because it doesn't redundantly put in every piece of the media the character has appeared in. - lavamelon  ( talk ) 04:33, April 15, 2017 (UTC)

I have no idea. I couldn't tell you about that. As for your signature, can you put it in Special:Preferences and use the image URL like I do with mine? It shouldn't show up after that. Also, do you not read the top of my talk page? Please don't make headers on my talk page. I don't like having a table of contents on it.--

Here's an example from that wiki:
