In-game descriptions
Hi. Thanks for all your work, good additions!

And also thanks for agreeing to my changes to them. ;o)

You can find the complete in-game texts in your installation directory, then  (  and   instead of   for the expansions). There are three subdirectories:  and , mostly ordered by location, and  , where you for example find all the item descriptions in the file. You can open these *.stringtables with notepad/editor, they look like XML files. Simply search for e.g. "Bear Hide", and usually the entry below would be the description then. More convenient then copying all that from the game screen. :o) --  -- You talkin' to me? -- cCContributions -- 19:13, 7 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Hi, thanks a lot for the information !
 * I was actually writing the description by looking at it in the game.
 * You do great corrections.Hibourouge (talk) 20:16, 11 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Um … thanks! If you say so …
 * I just noticed today that I wasn't completely right with what I told: In some cases the description is next to the item name, but in many cases it is somewhere in the file. So you might have to use a chain of some words as search item to find the proper entry.
 * And as you probably noticed: I had to make some more serious changes to your edits on the Stelgaer Tooth‎, because, as far as I know, this is a part and not only an item to sell. Correct me if I'm wrong, didn't have one in my inventory to check.
 * Even if this is your own talk page, you nevertheless should sign your posts with . -- UserCCCSig.png  -- You talkin' to me? -- cCContributions -- 20:45, 9 March 2017 (UTC)

Images
Hi again. It's good, you're adding all those missing images, but please: don't overwrite existing ones, if they are concept art instead of an in-game screenshot; see File:Wicht.jpg and File:Wicht PoE1 concept.jpg. Had to trick a little bit to restore the old version, and re-upped your image then. --  -- You talkin' to me? -- cCContributions -- 17:37, 11 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Hi, I upload the image with the name "Witch" but it was also the name of the concept art so the wiki didn't create a new "file" but update the concept art.Hibourouge (talk) 20:16, 11 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Yes, that's how images work on wikis. You can either "upload a new version" for a file, overwriting the former one, or you can upload a new file with a different name. You know about these mechanics, regarding the number of uploads by you, and that of the "updated" images as well. It's okay to ask an admin (me, e.g.) to move the concept art file (only admins are allowed to move/rename files) to a proper name, thus making place for a new image you want to upload. Or upload e.g. Wicht2.jpg*, and after that ask for the moves.
 * I made the comment on your profile when I noticed that you had overwritten a (more or less) concept art a second time, obviously without noticing my topic here. So, now you know better for the next time.
 * * It's "Wicht", not "witch" – Wicht is German and stands for midget/tad/wight or gnome, as my dict says. I don't really know about the German meanings of those English words, but you can take it as a "child, being badly off" (don't know if this is proper English), a "child, not being well" in general.
 * There's also a work in progress guide, that you might be interested in: Pillars of Eternity Wiki:Guidelines/Screenshots. Please don't edit the guide itself, but you can leave comments on its talk page if you want to share your thoughts about it. -- UserCCCSig.png  -- You talkin' to me? -- cCContributions -- 13:04, 12 March 2017 (UTC)

Creatures discussion
I have undone your redirect at Pŵgra, though I had asked you to do this. Well …

There is/was a topic on that on the community portal (which is linked as second item in the main navbar to the left). The discussion got its own page here. Feel free to place your thoughts under the comments section.

Creature is an important page and linked/referred to on many other articles. One not simply goes and changes such a page to a redirect, or moves it – without discussion. As Bestiary was a mere copy of that page, I have made that a redirect instead. You're welcome to make it an article about the "Bestiary" itself. Or discuss this topic on the page, mentioned above. Or on Talk:Creature.

If you really want to improve creature articles, start with creating a page for each single creature and each of its variants – then we can see how to manage those overview pages. But please, stop merging and redirecting. --  -- You talkin' to me? -- cCContributions -- 13:39, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
