== Icons ==

How do i go about obtaining icons ex: "Soul crystal of the Samurai"? or others <small>—''The preceding [[Final_Fantasy_XIV_Wiki:Help#Discussions|unsigned]] comment was added by'' [[Special:Contributions/Nytetrain|Nytetrain]] ([[User talk:Nytetrain|talk]]).</small>
: Hi! Click on the '''[[Special:Upload|Upload file]]''' to upload a file to use it later. People obtain icons from media available from Square Enix, although it's known by the community the usage of data-mining tools that read the game files to extract icons.

== Do new images need to be sourced? ==

I would like to add images to weapons, armor, etc.  However, I don't have all of the items, so I'm wondering if it would be okay to take the images from other sources: (Google, Eorzea Database) <small>—''The preceding [[Final_Fantasy_XIV_Wiki:Help#Discussions|unsigned]] comment was added by'' [[Special:Contributions/Nanashin|Nanashin]] ([[User talk:Nanashin|talk]]).</small>
:Sure, go ahead. You can indicate the source of the image by adding a comment to the image when you're uploading it -[[User:Moogle|Moogle]] ([[User talk:Moogle|talk]]) 17:56, 22 August 2017 (UTC)

== Visual Editing? ==

Is this Wiki going to adopt Visual Editing? Makes things much easier....

== No confirmation email ==

I've tried a few times. No confirmation email shows up for me.
Is there a problem sending to a gmx.com email address from your wiki?
I've encountered issues with various sites / email servers where one thinks the other is blacklisted or something.
Just saying. 3 times ought to do it.

== To what extent are spoilers acceptable? ==

Hi, I figured I'd contribute a little, despite no one else adding/editing something for a while, but wanted to ask to what extent spoilers are acceptable? I mean, on one hand this is a wiki to gather all the information in one place, but I've contributed to some other wikis where such things became an issue. So yeah, aye/nay on possible spoilers and in case it's an aye, to what extent can I add stuff and if there's a limit to begin with.

In this case, the question was prompted by me starting to work on the page about [[The Scions of the Seventh Dawn]], and not knowing whether to include what happens during the actual in-game story in the history or not, seeing how their heavy involvement would spoil most of the story.

:Hello Hestia, thank you for contributing to the wiki and raising concerns about spoilers. We believe a wiki should have all of the information on a topic. So for us, It's an aye on possible spoiler content. Templates like [[Template:Spoiler]] and [[Template:Spoiler section]] can be used to warn users about upcoming spoiler content. 

:Additionally, <nowiki><div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"> Hidden Content </div></nowiki> can be used to hide content like this:

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:600px;>
==Hidden Content==

Hi

I just want to know if there is a way to get rid of all the publicity on this Wiki, by paying a subscription for example. I did look around for this but didn't found the answer, sorry if it was already asked and answered.

Thanks

== Site settings ==

Why not have an option to make the background of the site dark, its so bright it burns my eyes sometimes alt tabbing to a bright white screen after in a game in dark areas..

Can you fix this? or someone

== Mobile Mode ==
Hello!

I accidentally switched to desktop mode on my cell phone, and I cannot switch it back.  Can you tell me how to change back to mobile mode?

Signed up for patreon under email patrick@hendrick.net. My wiki username is Mrtrick.

== Editing Help Wanted ==

I'm currently making a wiki scrapper and need to create CSV for the cases in Ephemeral_Nodes for the items that have more than one in their table cell. 

This change is like so in the regular Nodes page (see [[Ephemeral_Nodes#Miner|here]]) where multiple items are separated by commas (aka CSV).

See [[Ephemeral_Nodes#Miner|here]] for the Ephemeral_Nodes page.

I'll likely get to this later after finishing up my program, however, if anyone could do this, I would greatly appreciate it.

== Spelling mistake in the title of a page. ==

Is there any way to fix or remove this page? I don't want to mess around with it too much out of fear of messing things up. 
https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/An_Unforseen_Bargain

I made a separate page to correct my mistake that has no issues but that still exists and I don't know what to do about it.

*There are a couple of things you can do - either a redirect which I can see you've done or you can do <pre>{{delete|<reason>}}</pre> and then the page will be deleted permanently. [[User:JohnnySolas|JohnnySolas]] ([[User talk:JohnnySolas|talk]])

== Fixing missing entry in SMW table ==

Hi there, I noticed [[Earth Crystal]] is missing the Level 30 Logging gathering nodes in Peacegarden. As far as I can tell [[Template:gathering list]] calls SMW to find out and display the information, but I don't have experience with SMW and I can't figure out where that data is listed. How can I add the missing gathering node to the table? [[User:Techhead7890|Techhead7890]] ([[User talk:Techhead7890|talk]]) 06:24, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
:'''Resolved:''' Ahhh, it looks like it's pulling from the subzones/[[Area]] pages, certainly for newer Areas, and just some older ARR zones are missing those tables at the moment. I think I added the appropriate information to [[Peacegarden]] and have put a short note on the Gathering List template documentation!

== Remove or hide ads from site ==

I'm tired of seeing the ads on the pages, especially when they cover some of the content I need to read. Is there some sort of subscription or single-time monetary expense I can utilize to remove/hide these ads on my account?
:There's a [https://www.patreon.com/ffxivwiki patreon] for the wiki, $2/USD a month to remove ads. - [[User:Dr Agon|Dr Agon]] ([[User talk:Dr Agon|talk]]) 01:04, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
