User:Pauling/Item archetype pages

Hey, Equinox! To answer your questions:

• The archetype pages aren't an official standard, but rather a collection of common templates and unofficial community standards. They show how to use the recipe templates, where to put infoboxes, how to make links visible on a dark background, what categories and types of information to include, etc.
  • That said, these basic archetypes- or pages decended from their spawn- do seem to be the basis for most newly created pages. However, there's also spotty adaptation of individual elements. Not everyone who uses the archetypes remembers to paste in the categories, recipe explanation text, etc.
• I agree that automatically adding categories would be very, very useful. At present, this is hindered by the fact that all 3 weapon types use the same (weaponinfo) template- hence the only category that can be added is the generic "weapons". Shango thinks that this can befixed by adding a "weapontype = sword" field to the template with smart tag assignment... but adoption of this field would be slowed by the number of people who create new item pages through the "copy/paste/modify" method. If the random page they copy from isn't up to spec, the new page won't be, either.

User:D0gr0ck/Icon Cleanup

• Hey, thanks for keeping pace with all my uploads and cleaning up the old stuff to keep bloat down. I'll probably start moving though the weapons and then defensive gear next.

Crop

Cyclohexane-> Thanks for the crop, I was just about to upload a new version <3

Defense Icons, lowres

Howdy! These are the icons I just uploaded in low res:

Front/Back

Will this extend to helmets too? Saphykun 02:53, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

It depends on if you think it's helpful. I started the front/back thing when I saw that the Deadshot Mantle's charming qualities were only on the back and wanted to make sure people got to see that (same holds true for the lizardy armor with the tail in the back). I'd be fine either way! Just want to have it so it's as useful to people as possible. --Equinox 03:48, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

Table Revamp Notes

Add one row for series name, use lowest level name for series name

• Swords 6

Switch from numbers (mostly missing, generally outdated if there) to stats images

I probably should be medicated.

So uh, I uploaded stats for all the helmets that I have recipes for. I'll probably do Armor tomorrow if I wake up and find I'm not totally sick it yet. The end.

Found it!

That's not red at all! --Equinox 01:51, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

I used a garlic herb spice mix in place of ranch dressing. That, combined with the paprika, juices from the meat, and incandescent lights in my kitchen fume hood, all combined to impart a slightly red-orangey appearance. It came out quite well, even though I did have to substitute a whole bunch of ingredients to make it less unhealthy. Seriously, I don't see why a cooking site would put nutrition info up with the recipe. Doesn't that defeat the point of posting recipes you might want to cook? --Pauling 04:48, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Recipe consistency

Hi! I got your messages on my talk page. I'd like to get to work on that, but I have a question before I start. I'd like to edit the template which the recipe section is based upon. Is there any way of doing that? I'm also wondering if there is some Wiki functionality or feature that would streamline the process of revisions. Or is it just a matter of "copy + paste"? It seems you were referring to just changing the "star" level in order to cause the correct text to be added automatically...? If that is the case, I'd like to edit whatever it is that sets the text automatically. Does that make sense? Perhaps I could use some instruction as I'm kind of new at all this. ^^; Thanks! --EqualsN 10:20, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

Ah, sorry, I think I figured it out. I'd still like to know how to edit the template used for new page creation and the code that automatically puts that text in. Sorry for the trouble. --EqualsN 10:32, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

Hi again! I have a question regarding item Setlists. Currently some say "This is part of the ______ set, which contains:" and link to an uncreated page for the armor set. Others say "The other items in the set are:" and don't link to anything. Before I proceed with editing, I'd like to know what your plans are and what you think I should do with this section. Personally, I prefer seeing the latter for now, since I don't think we'll be creating armor set pages anytime soon, right? Perhaps there's a way to implement this into the "setlist" function used to display setlists? Kind of like how the Recipe function displays the alchemy cost text preceding the recipe, the Setlist function can display "This is a part of the ____ set, which contains:" preceding every setlist? In any case, I'd like to continue editing, but will wait on your response on the matter. Thanks Equinox! --EqualsN 22:40, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

Typos

You have a typo in your Game Master page. It's in the "how can I be a GM" section: "To apply to be an GM" <- GM doesn't start with a vowel XD
eekee is so tired </3 Saphykun 02:31, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

Template:Mat

I started it, Don't know if it's the best, but I think it looks OK. Should we make it so you enter a list of materials, or each one should use the current template?

I just learned how to make this template and my formatting knowledge is nonexistent, so if you think you can make it any better please do! Conrad500 13:36, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

• Also I stealed ur user_talk little thing in the top right for my page, is that OK? If not I'll remove it, it's just so helpful!
  • OH! What about the Stone Tortoise Dropped by Tortodrone? That isn't a crafting material, thus it Wouldn't work for this template! Conrad500 13:46, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

Equipment stat images

Equinox,

I had taken some screenshots of equipment stats, as the information on the wiki is out of date. When I tried to upload them, the original images stayed, sometimes distorted to fit into the size of the new image. With the Magic Cloak stat image I tried to fix it by reuploading and then reverting, but it was still broken so I stopped screwing with it. Is there a way to fix this?

Tier version descriptions of monsters

I tried looking for a discussion about the tier and description about it changing the way Maget edited as. I didn't have any clue they were suppose to be there actually. Since the abilities/attacks have the status icon I didn't think the excess in the description was necessary. My apologies if I've done anything wrong. I just really didn't see any conversation about stylizing it like that? --Charoum 23:48, 11 April (UTC)

Yes sir! Deeply sorry. --Charoum 23:50, 11 April (UTC)

I don't really remember what exactly what it was described as. Is it fine if I try my best at the Tier descriptions? --Charoum 00:21, 12 April (UTC)

Phew! Finally finished. Everything is back to normal. I also added the some other Tier descriptions Maget did not fill in. Thank you for showing me the use of the history tab. When I come across more monsters I'll add the descriptions to them as well. --Charoum 01:14, 12 April (UTC)

Quicksilver helmet picture

In the game i have found a quicksilver helmet and would like to contribute to the wiki by giving you a picture of it. here it is:http://s1225.photobucket.com/albums/ee383/starwind3/?action=view&current=Quicksilverhelm.jpg

Inconsistent Stats

We've got inconsistent reports on the wiki of what bonuses the Nameless Poncho and Justifier Jacket have ingame. On their actual pages they both say Handgun Firing Speed Increase: Medium, but on the armor listing page they say completely different things. Can we find out which ones are right and adjust the pages to reflect the truth? :o --Astarte 00:32, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

The armor page is the one that needs updating to "Handgun Firing Speed Increase: Medium" for both. --Equinox 00:41, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for the heads up! I didn't know that, and I hope that you don't mind me editing the stuff I did in the Wiki (will also do more, sometime...) Anyways, thanks for the heads up.

Wolver Monstrous Profile

I noticed the Royal Jelly had a Monstrous Profile section. Could the traits be renamed into that or perhaps should one be added? --Charoum 23:16, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

I'm not really sure what that is about. A user added that (look in the history tab, it was the Xcommander person), so it's just something fictional added by a user (unless that's what the level says?). --Equinox 00:33, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

Ah for some reason I thought you added it when I saw it in the recent changes. Though the text is true. It's from the Spiral Knights website news [1] --Charoum 00:39, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

I screwed up an upload!

http://wiki.spiralknights.com/File:Ironmight_Plate_Helm-Equipped.png#file

I wasn't sure what I might've done wrong until after I uploaded. There's no copyright doodad. I think I was supposed to put something in the comment. What do I do so that I don't do it again and can fix this? :( Erleiden 15:59, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

Actually, you uploaded everything correctly! you just forgot the helmet image tag in the comments. You can go see your uploaded file, click on "edit" and see the tag code (it's not much). There's a list of image tags you can refer to for other copyright boxes. Saphykun 16:24, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

Visuallist Revamp

It looks awesome. I took a quick shot at putting a column for Alchemy paths here. I'm not great with formatting, mostly did it by example. Garyuuko 19:16, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

I think I have a picture of the Vog Cub

I believe I was able to snap a screen shot of the Vog Cub ( Of course it may not be him ) it looks like it is needed for the wiki. If you like, I can email you in game my email address and then you can tell me where you would like me to email the picture. ( I scaled it down ) My in game name is Evangalise and I go by debinnv here on the forums. He was a dark color with orange spots , well more like several tufts of orange fur and he has a orange scroll design on his hind leg. At least it looks orange on my monitor anyway.

I was able to add the picture here

http://wiki.spiralknights.com/File:VogCub.png

so you can just look at it and see if it is in fact the Vog Cub

Vog tier description

Hello! I tried looking into the Spiral Knights monster files for an image of the Vog Cub but I figured I needed your permission to edit the Vog Cub section to add the tier description. The image I found is a large glowing eyed lava-like Wolver. 16:02, 14 May 2011 (UTC) --Charoum

Alright, thank you for clarifying at least. --Charoum 24:16, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

Divine Mantle

I tried reuploading the Divine Mantle, since it is outdated, but it seems that it wont overwrite the previous version. Why is this?

UV Icon fix

Hi, hate to bother you but could I ask you to try to fix (or delete, i'll reupload the new version) this page: http://wiki.spiralknights.com/File:Unique_variant_icon.png - The first version wasn't quite right and the 2nd version seems to have not uploaded correctly and the thumbnail makes it look all weird and stretched out. So if you delete it completely I can do a fresh upload with hope it works :P

Thanks, --Mike 21:36, 18 May 2011 (UTC) (P.S: Yeah I saw it was broken but I guess I didn't really think about it. If you could help i'd really appreciate it =])

Okay then, thanks for the reply. --Mike 21:42, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

Help:Language

I was going to create this page, but I'd like your permission first. May I import/copy-paste the Help:Language page from Whirled and put it on the SKWiki? I know this will mean a lot of templates, but we can just stick with the languages SK has to offer (Spanish, German, French and English) for now. Saphykun 18:32, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

Feel free to copy over whatever ones you want! There's no problem with having a lot of templates :) --Equinox 00:29, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

Is this a Vog Cub?

I got a Vog Cub image from a preview video to upload on the wiki, but you locked out the uploading. So, here is my screenshot image and I hope this really is a Vog Cub.

<img src="http://albinowasp.com/vogcub.png" />

While that does appear to be the Vog Cub, it's from a promotional video from two years ago. The game build there does not accurately reflect the current game and cannot be used as source material. --D0gr0ck 17:43, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

Changing login duration?

Is there a "remember me" checkbox equivalent under the new login system? Being logged out every time I come by is getting rather annoying... especially since I started being spoiled by the enhanced "recent changes" page. --Pauling 04:24, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

New Image Tag?

There should be a
