| − | I will usually politely fix file usage on individual user pages if they are using an image that has an out of date or poorly named filename, something I was uncomfortable doing because it was userspace until I talked with a few people and saw [http://wiki.spiralknights.com/index.php?title=User_talk%3ATeaParty&diff=117924&oldid=104652 this edit by Equinox]. Hikaru and I decided it would be best to upload all of the [[prestige]] icons to consistent names, and Hikaru did the uploading.

| |
| − | ::So I am a bit confused now. Prestige icons are, well, I think anyway, official game images (seen in the upper left-hand corner of the HUD and next to user names), should we remove the list showing all possible color and rank configurations from the [[Prestige]] page (which is mainspace)? Or were you referring to only the above "cancerous" files? I refer to them as cancerous, due to the nature of malignant cancer and how duplicate files with different file names tend to propagate and confuse things on the wiki over time unless they are controlled. Since Hikaru and I made a uniform file system and provided the visuals, I view the usage of these prestige duplicates the same way as icons and other visuals around the wiki ([http://wiki.spiralknights.com/index.php?title=User_talk%3ATeaParty&diff=117924&oldid=104652 just gonna link to this edit by Equinox again]) and wish to rectify the issues. As I mentioned previously, users might want a blurry/different visual version for their own use, but I don't think that's appropriate for this wiki, again, considering Equinox's edit. But yeah, now I'm a bit confused but feel strongly we need to clean things! Just gonna stand here with a bucket of water, bottle of glass cleaner, and brandish my paper towels. --[[User:Novaster|Novaster]] 14:32, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

| − | :::Now I'm totally confused. If the images are duplicate files then we need to remove the duplicate and correct the name in whatever pages the "bad" name linked to. If the image is an ''edition'' of an in-game file that it doesn't truly exist in game (i.e. a recolor) but it's only used in a user's page, then it's fine to leave alone. If none of that applies, please do clarify! --[[User:Clotho|Clotho]] 01:01, 29 October 2015 (UTC)

| − | ::::Soooo....[[Recolor]]s don't exist in-game. Got it! But wait, what did we spend our money on!? Argh! :P (joking). Granted, these visuals are simply personal color variants of a tiny in-game visual, but they do technically exist in-game, for sure. Users might want to see the possibilities when creating a new knight, so I very much believe the versions advocated by me and uploaded by Hikaru need to stay on the [[prestige]] page, about as much as the visuals of, say, a [[Scale Helm]] do in that sortable list of recolors. If you leave this issue to editors, we would follow policy we (eventually) agree on below regarding editing the userspace. --[[User:Novaster|Novaster]] 01:56, 29 October 2015 (UTC)

Previously, there was no file naming system for in-game prestige icon rank and color variation, nor were many of them present. So Hikaru and I made one and published it on the [[prestige]] page. They should be treated the same as any other mainspace file even though they were uploaded after the sub-par originals and were not part of a mainspace name change of an established file. Following the logic of this discussion, the sub-par-userspace-now-duplicate-prestige-icon-files should be taken care of. But we will wait until we iron out [[Sandbox/Userspace Protocol]], as per the resolved "Duplicate Icon Issue" discussion. --[[User:Novaster|Novaster]] 03:10, 29 October 2015 (UTC)

| |
| − | We are thinking about revamping the [[Spiralknights:Style guide]] to be super duper, and so that anyone who wants to take up the volunteer work in the future when we're gone can easily educate themselves. At the moment the guide suffices, but Hikaru and I want to make it better because it is a little overwhelming to look at the way it is. And somewhat disorganized.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Before we do, I'd like to know that the technical difference is between these namespaces. I ask because we'd be splitting the style guide into pages within the space, but some things seem to be a bit hazy:

| − | Do we make the new pages within the Spiralknights space, because the style guide is organized as such? But looking at other pages in these namespaces, it's pretty confusing.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | I would think "Help" would be anything to do with editing/things that are within the power of the users, and the style guide page should be redirected to the helpspace. Spiralknights space should concern issues that can only be cleared up by staff/support. That's my opinion, based on what Wikipedia does with their helpspace. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Whitespace For example].

| − | ==Operation Crimson Hammer==
| |
| − | Okay! As you can see, several of us are working on getting anything mission related up to date, and [[Operation Crimson Hammer]] (OCH) is a mission - expansion subtype. Editors really need to be able to edit this page, because it is a large part of the game and connected to several things. Correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I can tell, the only reason it's locked to general editors is because it has [[Billing]] information. My solution to this problem:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Create the subpage: [[Operation Crimson Hammer/Billing]] and protect that.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Have <nowiki>{{main|Operation Crimson Hammer/Billing}}</nowiki> in an acquisition section somewhere on the OCH page, and let the main OCH page be edited by us (unprotect it).

This page would be a page in its own right and be able to be fully protected. Attempt to make billing documentation link to this "Operation Crimson Hammer/Billing" page instead of the "Operation Crimson Hammer" page. Unprotect the "Operation Crimson Hammer" page indefinitely and make sure it always links to the "Operation Crimson Hammer/Billing" page. This is because OCH is a major part of the game and editors need to be able to edit it freely. This method of billing protection as a subpage with a main expansion mission page should work for future expansion releases. Just imagine having to protect/unprotect OCH and any future expansions every time the game changes and editors need to update aspects of this/those page(s) - awful, right? Other editors seem to agree with me, and they should write a response on your (Clothos') talk page soon. Additional requests/details in the #subsection ("Operation Crimson Hammer") on your (Clotho's) talk page.''

| |
| − | There are a few words-pages such as "[[Electric]]" that we've redirected for convenience to "go" to color categories (users can always "search" for specifics instead of "go"). We'd like to make a redirect tag for these pages, but none of our current ones really fit - "R from alternate name" and "R from related word" come close but not quite. Would it be appropriate to make [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Redirects_from_short_names the equivalent of this] for our wiki, and to add it to [[SpiralKnights:Redirect]]? Or is there something better? It's a somewhat sensitive issue because these breach namespaces (main and category). --[[User:Novaster|Novaster]] 01:21, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

| |
| − | ===New Redirect Tags: To Files===
| |
| − | We are also trying to avoid uploading duplicate files that are large, especially for [[news]] images. Users appreciate easy access to the "big" art, editors like to punch in numbers because each thing is its own entity with its own name despite having the same visual, and duplicate files are bad (accessory icons are particularly annoying to me). I'd like to make a specific redirect for these: "R to circumvent file duplication" or something you think would be better. --[[User:Novaster|Novaster]] 23:37, 25 November 2015 (UTC)
| |
| − | :To resolve this issue, since it seems okay to add new redirect criteria sparingly and carefully and if there is significant need, I have made [[Template:R to file]]. I chose the word "to" instead of "from" because while the name should be restricted to pages in the file namespace, they are not technically always ''from'' "files" if they are "empty"/not uploaded (page), but they are always ''to'' an uploaded file (page). And this special redirect is most similar to the disambiguation type of redirect, which uses "to." I assume there is a significant reason for mostly using "from," but I do not know it. It seems to mostly be a consistency thing, or perhaps this results from the small "redirected from blah" message that appears when relevant under the page title. --[[User:Novaster|Novaster]] 18:27, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

| |
| − | ::::I'm not sure how moving files/updating old files helps in this case? Wouldn't it just be better to upload duplicates? The reason Hikaru and I worked on this is because wikipedia frowns so much on duplicates. --[[User:Novaster|Novaster]] 11:46, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
| |
| − | ::::Looking at potential candidates, I don't see how it's actually possible to move any of these files without totally disrupting the established naming system and/or moving something to an incorrect name. The issue is not incorrect/out of date files, but avoiding huge duplicate files on the wiki, so that when the "slot" for a new file (most often a news image) demands an upload, we can just redirect the new, demanded "file" page to an old, already existing file instead of uploading a duplicate that takes up a lot of space (relatively) if we are sure every pixel is the same. Hikaru figured out that this works because our wiki automatically displays the redirect destination file as if the called file is the actual file.
| |
| − | Example relationship, using the most recent to demonstrate how the system works with time:
| |
| − | *File:SpiralKnights News 149-big.png (original artwork)
| |
| − | *File:SpiralKnights News 190-big.png (reused artwork)
| |
| − |
| |
| − | We have this on the reused artwork file page:
| |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | #REDIRECT [[:File:SpiralKnights News 149-big.png]]
| |
| − | {{R to file}}
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | So that <nowiki>[[File:SpiralKnights News 190-big.png|100px]]</nowiki> displays as:
| |
| − | *[[File:SpiralKnights News 190-big.png|100px]] (displayed is file 149, called by 190 - see page code)
| |
| − |
| |
| − | As you can see, the call for "190" displays the original file "149" through the redirect, even though templates/the wiki in general call for the new file, which otherwise would be an "enormous" duplicate of the older file (and repeat countless times with existing past files and future files for event posts in particular). It's rather fascinating in our opinion. I think Hikaru discovered the behavior/wiki-ability to do this by accident. But the wiki can definitely do it, so, we figured this is meant to happen in some way (otherwise, why would the wiki be able to display destination files through redirects?) As mentioned before, we thought about doing this for accessory icons, but decided against it because they're small and one day we might have to undo that net of redirects if the game gives accessories their own icons (which happened with costumes), while we wouldn't have to undo "news" unless editors agree to/admins mandate it.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | If this is still inadvisable, we'll undo the system and upload a bunch of duplicates (that sounds snotty...I don't mean it to be, haha). --[[User:Novaster|Novaster]] 12:09, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

| |
| − | {{showhide|[[Mediawiki:Uploadtext]]|content=
| |
| − | On the same note as the Style guide link in the nav box, fixing the links to be direct in our wiki's upload text box would be amazing. But, myself and a few other editors were wondering if we could totally redesign the upload text notification, because users extremely consistently miss the warning and re-upload images over and over. The "looking into the issue" bit is also years old and I'm 99% certain it's no longer actually being looked into, it's just what the wiki does. We'd likely make the warning obnoxiously huge (similar to the giant box on [[:File:Image Wanted.png|this image]]) and explain how users have to wait through the cache's sluggish update behavior, instead of displaying this empty promise.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | If not, here's a copypaste of an updated form:
| |
| − | *Fixed internal links to be direct
| |
| − | *Fixed wikipedia links to be more obviously external (aids in user navigation, while it's possible to link directly to wikipedia, users don't seem to like being directed out of the SK wiki via links that appear to be internal, and phone users don't really have the option to view tooltips via mousehover, which reveals a link's destination)
| |
| − | *Fixed wikipedia image source link to be up to date and actually link somewhere.
| |
| − | *Removed cluttery list of most used image tags to encourage users to navigate to the actual image tags page, reducing lazy guesswork.
