Items are a no go zone right now. sorry. They should be available for edit in the near future, only touch if the warning tag at the top of the page is removed. feel free to contribute to other pages though.

# Stoneskin can midigate the ammount of HP sacrificed. However, the ability does not loose potency this way. Example: 1000HP will still restore 250HP with or without stoneskin on.

I am by no means a spelling Nazi. Errors in spelling and usage don't normally bother me in a forum posting or chat. It just seems to me that the credibility of information posted on a wiki is compromised when it's not even spell checked. I can understand how loose could get through, but midigate and ammount?

To be perfectly fair, everyone making new pages is supposed to put them in Category

roofreading so that they can all be looked over by our awesome grammar staff.

However, people aren't doing that (and honestly I don't expect our grammar squad to look at every single page), so it's up to you, when you see mistakes like that, to edit it

Though you don't have to because I did (I caught midigate and loose but not ammount ;; )

Sadly I cannot be on 24/7 staring at submissions, but we'll get to stuff as we can.

The point of a wiki is that everyone can contribute and edit and such, including spelling errors, as someone already said.

Elphie and I are just like... the ones who try to catch what everyone else missed.

Well, I have an exceptionally large grammarhammer if you need any help.

Not as big as the one in your sig, though.

Would males who don't have Whm leveled be called Grammarians?

I always liked that term "...and in swoops the Grammarian to right your wrongs in a most annoying fashion!"

Man this is like the definition of irony

My white mage is 75, and my grammar skills are horrible.

I love the new logo.

Also, not to be picky but I can't even make out whats in the picture in the rdm job section. :/
Edit: would be cool if whoever did the new logo shooped up some pictures for the jobs.

The logo is hand drawn (colored in photoshop) by Nikkei. I already asked her to make some cool semi-chibi characters in full AF1 for the job pages, but she was kinda hesitant. I'm going to start begging later tonight.

If you guys post how much you want her to draw, I bet we can get her to do it.
