Hello! I think it would be a good idea to add this line to the pages for the new kat items in the "notes" section (below equipment set):
+
 
+
The "PAGENAME" was added to the game during the fourth [[Kataclysmic Confrontation]] in September 2014.
+
 
+
I've found that many users really love talking about game chronology. This sort of information is like candy to them.
+
 
+
Some other changes:
+
*Add a link to the [[List of sets]] page in the equipment set section, like so:
+
 
+
The "PAGENAME" is part of the 3* Kat Hiss [[List of sets|set]]:.
+
 
+
*Instead of "Vendors" we're trying to use "Acquisition" - Vendors is a very archaic term, we think.
+
 
+
*Add "PAGENAME" is a blah-star "item type" to the top of the page. This is something Acies doesn't seem to like, but I'm pushing it because almost everything else on the wiki has this sort of page intro style and I like being consistent. You can see more of my reasoning [http://wiki.spiralknights.com/User_talk:Acies here] on Acie's talk page. I'll probably do a forum topic about it. [http://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/104797 Oh look I did].
+
 
+
*General bullet reduction.
+
 
+
*I've changed "knights" to "players" in the Recipe section - just a personal opinion that this is better, but it's not important.
+
 
+
Some of this stuff is talked about on the forums [http://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/102232 here] in the OP and through comments.
+
 
+
I know it's a pain in the wolver tail to add stuff like this after pages have been generated via copy-paste. If you don't want to do it, I can do it later this weekend, just have a lot of IRL stuff on my plate right now. I've edited the [[Kat Hiss Cloak]] for examples, if you want to take on this task (again, hehe) check the "consistencies" edit for the Hiss Cloak page history.
+
 
+
Imagine fixing all the older pages. That's a job for someone who has a long bit of vacation time, and nothing much else to do I think ;P. But we can at least start the improvements with new pages.

Increase your graphics quality/AA. There's a pretty intense sheen/some light effects that don't show up with lower graphic screenshots. Otherwise they're awesome and thanks! -[[User:Novaster|Novaster]] 20:34, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

==Theme Category==
+
{{showhide|Color Theme Categories|content= This is a category page. Please do not try to edit it to add entries. The correct way to add things to the page is to use a category tag. Please see the style guide for the appropriate category tags and how to use them. Some infoboxes automatically add categories for you.
+
 
+
  This is a special category page as well and it is being used unconventionally! Category: X-Themed category pages are now being used to organize items via color theme:
+
 
+
For the links and images on this category page:
+
 
+
    Regular text: items such as armors, helms, weapons, and shields which follow this color theme. MOST of the regular text here indicates gear.
+
    Italicized text: costume items which follow this color theme. MOST costumes are italicized here, there may be some that are not (ones with their own pages show up as regular text here - so there might be some inconsistencies). Note: SOME other gear, such as the Node Slime Crusher, will also be italicized.
+
        Trick: redirected pages show up as italicized text in category pages. Many items are redirected to a single page if there are a bunch of items with the same shape, just different colors. This behavior is quite common for costumes.
+
    Images: accessories which follow this color theme. Accessories don't usually have their own pages, so this might help find what you're looking for in bulk.
+
 
+
To maintain this rather nifty organizational ability of the Category: X-Themed category pages, do not add Category: X-Themed tags to images unless that image is a relevantly colored accessory image file.
+
 
+
The primary purpose of these pages is to aid players who wish to find things of the same color. Category pages update on their own via tags added to pages, so this is an efficient system.
+
 
+
The secondary purpose is to be a category page, wiki-website style. (This is normally the primary purpose of category pages).

==Icons==
+
Oh goodness great job! Anyway, continue on, but don't barrel through the furniture icons just yet. I've found the source of a huge mess regarding furniture icons, and fixing all of it will take some time. Basically, editors (including myself) forgot to name the furniture files properly, so they're all gross with disambiguation. An easy but tedious fix, I'll post here when I'm done fixing. -[[User:Novaster|Novaster]] 17:14, 20 November 2014 (UTC)

:::Didn't you change your mind about this? It would still break other pages where they use the old names. There's a way to fix it though, just convince the gms to [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgAllowImageMoving allow image moving]. --[[User:Icytea|Icytea]] 02:40, 24 November 2014 (UTC)

Templated Pages

And they all yelled at me in forum node 106676 about templating pages. But this is really nice and better formatted than what I tried to do previously, and you have my support. -Novaster 15:45, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
