===Categories===
 
  
Howdy, I've done an experiment with the [http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Category:Military-Themed Military-Themed category page]. I've put the category tag on all the military-themed accessories in the game. I think it works pretty well, as these acc don't have their own pages, and thusly wouldn't show up in a category search. Would this sort of thing be condoned? If so, I'd love to go through and add theme tags to all the image files of accessories.

Hey there~ im wondering... do u guyz change the "upload a file" screen xd? I know u did a maintenance yesterday but everything was the same, then right now suddenly at exactly 5am (california time) the interface for uploading a file changed. It was a delay of the corrections or u guyz implemented it at that precisely moment xd?

:I've stumbled upon it, too, after the maintenance. I've noticed both the changed upload page and additional links on the left. These things were lost when the wiki software got updated, so it was nice seeing them brought back. The reupload notice from the old upload page should stay, though. There is a problem with reuploading images and people who don't know about it often reupload the same image 3+ times thinking they messed up something when in reality they just have to wait for the wiki to update the image. --[[User:Matusm|Matusm]] ([[User talk:Matusm|talk]]) 14:29, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
If you have the time, can you look at either (or both) of the "[[Template:WeaponInfo]]" and "[[Template:Equipment see also]]" templates? I'm not sure which one would be better to edit for this goal, but if I had to guess, it would be the "see also" one. We're trying to have a link to specific guides based on what item type is on the page - so a Sword (like the [[Sudaruska]]) would link to the [[Swordmaster Guide]] in the "See Also" section. I fiddled around with them but nothing worked exactly like we wanted it to. Sadface. -[[User:Novaster|Novaster]] 16:49, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

::Tested it out, but it's not registering the right switch - it's still not "communicating" with the weaponinfo template. Feels like it's getting closer, though. -[[User:Novaster|Novaster]] 01:13, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

Hello there again Clotho~ Wanted to ask, i know the wikia have some issues (the biggest one being the cache of uploaded images) but i have noticed Categories and "What links here" having an issue too but i wonder, its this like the image-upload issue that in a few days it will show correctly?. Right now i have only tested the Categories and its been more than a month and the URLs hasnt been added to said categories. I have seen things in categories that when i check the image/link, its been months since the cat was removed but when u enter the cat the url/image its still there, so now, im seeing some problem with "What links here", it doesnt update to recent changes, like, Rocket Puppy's page should show it links from "Monster/All" but it doesnt, i noticed this a few weeks but i wonder if i wait it will show? I think it will not (sadly) but want to know what u know about this.
::: If you want it to interact with the weaponinfo template using the "type" from that template, but at the same time being separate templates, then I can't help - way above my wiki magic tricks :)  Right now it needs its own type to be specified within this template, i.e. <nowiki>{{Equipment see also|type= Foo}}</nowiki>.  That said, how about [[User:Clotho/sandbox_1|this version]]?
+
::::Hmm, personally I like it but, the other wiki people probably won't "go for it," since pages have the "See Also" at the bottom in general. It might also lead to too much clutter in a "general info" box. Gotta love those standard formatting issues. It's good to have this option in case the future demands something similar. We'll just link to a general category page for all of the guides (probably - something that has yet to be made), that seemed to be the plan B in the forums. The thought process would be something like "hmm...I was just on a sword page...I should probably...pick the sword guide out of the rest of these guides! Yes!" Great challenge/effort though... Thanks for looking into it! -[[User:Novaster|Novaster]] 16:56, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
+
::::P.S. - Trying out [[:Category:Guides (Player Made)|this Category Page]] (linked to it in the "Equipment See Also" template used on equipment pages), we'll see if people like it! -[[User:Novaster|Novaster]] 17:21, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

===Categories: "Category:Redirects from alternate names "===
+
'''Examples:'''
 +
*[[:Category:Armor ankle attachment]]: Was created two years ago (May 2018) with a "hidden cat" tag but still doesnt hide the cat like the other categories of slot attachments, plus, it havent added the urls i have marked this past month, and they doesn't show in "What links here" either, but at least the Cat shows in the main page (like [[Splash Sarong]] for example, thats the most recent one i added).
 +
*[[ShadowTech Blue Down Puffer]]: Created this redirect a month ago and it still doesnt show in the [[:Category:ShadowTech Blue-Themed]], only images, for some reason, some images work and other doesnt? usually the ones created with the cat are the ones that doesnt have problems (or thats what i have seen).
 +
*[[Recon (MotT)]]: This NPC doesnt show in its categories. I created that page recently.
  
I love this cat tag! Thanks for bringing it back into the light. Anyway, a few things in there are actually named properly in-game (sometimes the "game files" and "in-game names", and even vs. the dev posts ("floral halo"! Oh dear! All is forgiven :P), are not in sync - so going with the in-game term feels the most comfy. I went in and did some fixes. This "prize box project" I'm working on is sure exposing a lot of holes.-[[User:Novaster|Novaster]] 01:22, 13 July 2014 (UTC)
+
I think the error its being since 2017 approx cuz [[Smitty]] was created in July 2016 and it shows in the cat. Right now thats all the examples i remember. I wanted to use the "what links here" to check which pages have the name of a monster linked and easily see if im missing some entries in "locations" of said monster (as i did with the subgeographys pages) but the Monster template have "type#name" so Rocket Puppy in the monster template makes <code><nowiki>[[Gun Puppy#Rocket Puppy|Rocket Puppy]]</nowiki></code> so everything links to Gun Puppy and its way harded to see if the link mentions a Redhover or a gun puppy, or a rocket puppy for example... i have to open every page and check. When i change the monster template to link directly to monster single names, it sill will not help me since it will not show in "What links here" :(. Dunno if its an unreported issue and maybe i can be solved? Have a nice day! --[[User:HikaruFer|<b><font color="#265aa6">Hikaru</font><font color="#238e3b">FER</font></b>]] 22:08, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
  
P.S - I think this logic works: if there's ever more, for example, "dust bunny tails", then we'll fix the "dust bunny tail" to not have this "alternate name" category, and probably either redirect the "lovely dust bunny tail" to the new "dust bunny tail" page, or delete the individual page entirely (I'm loath to make redirects for color styles of non-unique accessories - people rarely type all that out and boy, the clutter on the category pages!). This happened quickly with "lovely bent vertical vents" and the later released "bent vertical vents" - for that one, I did a redirect...still missing a pic of unattached volcanic. Grrr. -[[User:Novaster|Novaster]] 01:37, 13 July 2014 (UTC)

== Spam? ==
: Hee, I love those tags too. it's hard to know where to draw the line between adding a redirect or not - just use your best judgment, that usually works! As for the inconsistencies, if there are any 'official' pages that need to be updated to the in-game name, please let me know and I'll take care of it. --[[User:Clotho|Clotho]] 02:14, 13 July 2014 (UTC)

Trying to get pages nice and organized with capital letters and such, so less-than-ideal pages can be deleted properly - I can't edit [[Starter Pack old|This Page]] or [[Deluxe Starter Pack|This Page]] - All they need are capital As for heat amps, and then the bad "Heat amplifier" page can go away forever. (Replaced with "Heat Amplifier."). Usually I find that the wiki hiccups once or twice, then registers the capital letter change - but that could just be something weird with my browser. Is it like this for everyone? If not, I feel a bit silly fiddling around with capital letters. -[[User:Novaster|Novaster]] 05:52, 13 July 2014 (UTC)

official "Icons" (not usable "prize box" icons - examples: [[File:Ancientbox icon.png|38px]], [[File:Colossalbox icon.png|38px]], etc.) for these promotions are missing:

Not "buy this box via purchase" per-say:

*anniversary prize box
+
*Dark Harvest prize box

*frosty prize box

*companion prize box

These are not your typical...profit-box? haha. Anyway, not sure if these get official icons, as they're not part of billing and so on.

"Profit Boxes" - promotional image icon thing missing:

*decoration kit prize box
+
*elite trinket

*gobble snipe box
+
*gourmet prize box
+
*nemesis prize box (this also needs an Admin wiki page creation in general)

*obsidian prize box

*polar prize box

*winterfest prize boxes

Oh and, the "blooming,"  "equinox", "katastrophe", "rage", "rose regalia," "Slime," "Splash", and "Surprise" icon things could use that interesting... "protection tag?" Some of the others do, these don't, dunno why, seems odd to me :D. So I thought I'd mention it. The "stormy" one has a different tag, might as well mention that too.

I see that '''Thalia''' usually posts the promotional pages but, Thalia doesn't have a Talk page yet, so, I didn't know exactly how to post this request, but here it is!

Hope I didn't miss any.
