Sprite Image

My goodness, that is really bad! I thought for sure that would work. Would it be prudent to give a warning near the gallery about the visual problems/appearance on the Maskeraith (Snarblepup) page until sufficient time has passed? --Novaster 20:50, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

I went ahead and did it - this should save whatever trouble it might have caused. Should. --Novaster 21:02, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

Yes, that works, thank you. --Clotho 01:15, 30 June 2015 (UTC)

The image seems to have updated itself for most users. Hurray. Sorry that deletion didn't clear the cache issue like I thought it would, so, won't be asking for that again. --Novaster 16:55, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

Speedy Deletion: Sprite Images

Okay! A lot of sprite visuals have finally been updated to proper file names. A few redirects that nothing links to and files that are out of date and moved etc. should now be fully deleted as the final clean up step. As a result of this project, file names are now consistent for every sprite page, and the infobox has a consistent file name behavior with other infoboxes that portray items that have available tooltip visuals (my opinion of "equipped" for these files is one of OCD/past decisions before we had tooltips and I won't go into it). Much of this has been discussed before and is stored in your archives. This should be the last step! Several images still need updating to the full inspect window size, but they are in the new/consistent file name space. Other users are working on this too, and it's a fun project.

The following files/pages need to be blasted with a laser to finish the job once and for all, and to remove any confusion future editors might have:

• File:Battle Sprite Drakon Evolved.png‎ (moved from before and super thanks! Please delete this redirect if doing so doesn't cause issues)
• File:Battle Sprite Seraphynx Evolved.png‎ (moved from before and super thanks! Please delete this redirect if doing so doesn't cause issues)
• File:Battle Sprite Maskeraith Evolved.png‎ (moved from before and super thanks! Please delete this redirect if doing so doesn't cause issues)
• File:Battle Sprite Seraphynx (Black Kat) Evolved.png‎
• File:Battle Sprite Drakon (Gun Pup) Evolved.png‎ (moved from before and super thanks! Please delete this redirect if doing so doesn't cause issues)
• File:Battle Sprite Maskeraith (Punkin) Evolved.png‎ (moved from before and super thanks! Please delete this redirect if doing so doesn't cause issues)
• File:Battle Sprite Maskeraith (Spiralhorn) Evolved.png‎
• File:Battle Sprite Drakon (Divine) Evolved.png‎
• File:Battle Sprite Drakon (Shadow) Evolved.png‎
• File:Battle Sprite Maskeraith (Freeze) Evolved.png‎
• File:Battle Sprite Maskeraith (Snarblepup) Evolved.png‎
• File:Battle Sprite Maskeraith (Volcanic) Evolved.png‎
• File:Battle Sprite Seraphynx (Siamese) Evolved.png‎
• File:Battle Sprite Seraphynx (Tabby) Evolved.png‎

Thanks, --Novaster 16:55, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

Might as well zap this one too: File:Token-Cake slice.png. Pew pew! It has a similar flavor to the above. Went through and fixed various links so it should be good to go. Good to go AWAY. --Novaster 18:15, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

Done! --Clotho 22:12, 12 July 2015 (UTC)

Hurray! Thanks --Novaster 01:02, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

Supply Pack Icons

A few of us are working on missions. Wow! How many years has it been since missions were introduced, and we still don't have pages for a lot of 'em! Well, better late than never.

Please move the following to the following:

• File:Equipment- Standard Supply Pack icon.png to File:Crafting-Standard Supply Pack.png
• File:Equipment- Compact Supply Pack icon.png to File:Crafting-Compact Supply Pack.png
• File:Equipment- Deluxe Supply Pack icon.png to File:Crafting-Deluxe Supply Pack.png

The should show up in the table here when that page is saved after the moves.

Reasons:

• General: Bad filenames. These items are not equipment. Also, there is an annoying space after the hyphen. Editors should be able to use the proper linking templates. Shame on my 2013 self. Shame.
• Every other mat has Crafting-blahblah for its name, even though not all materials are used in crafting, and even though they are icons they don't have icon in the name. Just goin with the old norm 'cause it's too much of a hassle to change these to be "right," especially when nobody sees the filename except editors and the ultra curious. Same ocd issue with BlahBlah-Equipped after tooltips were introduced. After moving the files, please delete the originals after all "what links here" are taken care of. I'll post here when that's done.
• We want to retain file history, because some people like old icons and time stamps - a discussion we've already agreed on :)

I'll probably ask something about OCH in a bit that involves billing on its own subpage and unprotecting the actual mission page. Thanks! --Novaster 20:13, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

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 {{main|Operation Crimson Hammer/Billing}} in an acquisition section somewhere on the OCH page, and let the main OCH page be edited by us (unprotect it).

Unless it was protected for some other reason? Could we have a similar solution(s) for that if so?

Thanks,
