+== Questions unrelated to the Wiki ==
+I was wondering what the consensus was, on the subject of allowing the creation of new articles for generic modding-related questions. If it's no different from the [http://cs.elderscrolls.com/index.php/Talk:Main_Page#Questions_should_go_to_the_forums CS wiki], perhaps something like [http://cs.elderscrolls.com/index.php/Talk:Main_Page#Heads-up_for_new_users this] could be implemented this time around?<br /><b>[[User:ShadeMe|shadeMe]] <sup>[[User_talk:ShadeMe|<span style="font-family: Oblivion, Daedric Runes; size=2;">TALK</span>]]</sup></b> 05:22, 22 February 2012 (EST)
+:Yes, this should be all things modding, not just the CK, despite the name.
+:As for the welcome script, everything I said then is still true, though I don't think the DWbot account is set up yet.

 :I know that the Oblivion CS Wiki's Function template is quite robust; not sure where the GECK version stands.

+== Template:Unsigned ==
+So, I made a bit of a change to template:unsigned, so it wouldn't care what order your arguments were, or even whether you'd left the date off.
+This came about because of a [[:User talk:Catwheezle|conversation]] with [[User:Fowl|Fowl]], where they created a second template, Unsigned2. This is how mediawiki handled the problem, and it is a good option... but I felt that two templates would be a little unfriendly and confusing, and we'd have to choose which is the better of the two, to recommend that people use, and things like that.
+The [[:Template:Unsigned|revised template]] SEEMS to work, and was a good learning experience for me towards more complex templates. Interested whether people think it's crap and shouldn't be used, though.

+:I'm amazed this was possible with markup, well done sir.  --- [[User:Fowl|Fowl]] 18:04, 23 February 2012 (EST)
+::Heh - thanks :) Sadly, though, it's a more brittle solution than yours, for all its snazziness. If the wiki gets an update that happens to change that error message, then the template will stop accepting arguments in the non-default order until someone updates the error message in the template to be the same.
+::Not a huge issue even then, maybe, because bizarrely, it seems like the ones entered in the past won't be affected because it caches those in some freaky-weird way that I didn't understand when I was testing, and made me spend ages going "hey, this isn't changing... why isn't this changing?" --[[User:Catwheezle|Catwheezle]] 01:58, 24 February 2012 (EST)
+== Papyrus Functions Organisation ==
+I know it's been awhile since people have posted here but hopefully we can start up the organisation conversation again. I think it would be beneficial for a page dedicated as a list for all functions that can be used within papyrus.
+The Papyrus category is hardly a good way of finding functions due to... well being spread out all over the page(As all categories are). So instead this dedicated page would be similar to  [http://cs.elderscrolls.com/index.php?title=List_of_Functions CSWiki], quite simply functions categorised into tables from A-Z, or alternatively it might be more efficient to sort them by Script Object, Actor, ActorBase, ActiveMagicEffect, etc.
+I don't mind doing the legwork for this page but I would like input from others before I commit to any changes/creation. So what do you guys think? I am leaning towards having it Script Object Based. --[[User:CraftySentinel|CraftySentinel]] ([[User talk:CraftySentinel|talk]]) 2013-08-24T05:35:24 (EDT)
+:Sounds like a great idea to me. --[[User:Catwheezle|Catwheezle]] ([[User talk:Catwheezle|talk]]) 2013-08-24T15:09:12 (EDT)
+::Created the page ([[List of Papyrus Functions]]) to begin with it's flagged as incomplete for now. All Papyrus Functions should be there that are on the wiki, also added a [[Template:Compact ToC|Compact ToC]] template. I just hope I haven't jumped the gun on this.
+::I noticed there's a small number of pages that do not follow the usual naming convention for Papyrus pages(Function - BaseScript) Perhaps it will pay to move them to names that are inline with the naming convention for uniformity? By my count there's only 7. --[[User:CraftySentinel|CraftySentinel]] ([[User talk:CraftySentinel|talk]]) 2013-08-25T06:16:16 (EDT)
