=="Fixing" User usage of mainspace files==
 
These files: There is still these icons of prestige badge: [[File:Prestigefinal-green.png]][[File:Prestige Rank 1 Red.png]][[File:45kPrestigeBadge.png]][[File:Prestigebadgeaquatwostripedot.png]][[File:Vermillion-badge-45k.png]] [[File:Prank vanguard.png]] (copypasted from previous post for separation of issues)
 
  
I will usually politely fix file usage on individual user pages if they are using an image that has an out of date or poorly named filename, something I was uncomfortable doing because it was userspace until I talked with a few people and saw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.
 
  
Do you think I should just go ahead and fix those other prestige visuals? --[[User:Novaster|Novaster]] 20:49, 6 October 2015 (UTC)
 
:I will probably go ahead and just fix these, since it's not a huge issue, and we've [[:File:Cyan-badge-45k.png|already had someone go and upload their own because they changed their color]], and I am 99% sure while 100% guessing it's because they didn't know we had the nice high quality versions, and they would know if we had fixed the file for them. --[[User:Novaster|Novaster]] 20:13, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
 
  
Quoting Clotho from previous merged issue, now separated: ''The same applies to the prestige visuals, they are welcome to use them in that manner, but only in user space.  --[[User:Clotho|Clotho]] 01:11, 17 October 2015 (UTC)''
 
::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)
 
::::Erm, well, "above" now, not below, since the "Duplicate Icon Issue" inquiry was resolved from staff viewpoint. --[[User:Novaster|Novaster]] 02:54, 29 October 2015 (UTC)
 
::::I feel as if the confusion of this issue is simply the order of publication. 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)

== Accidental Block ==
== Wiki namespaces ==
+
I've noticed you blocked [[User:Aferron]], who don't have anything to do with this spamming madness. Can you unblock him, please? --Matusm 11:12, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
 +
:Unblocked now. We have been flooded and a few valid users got caught in the sweep. Please send me an [https://www.spiralknights.com/support/#requests_new in game request] (those get looked at faster) if you notice any other incorrect block. Thank you!
  
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.
+
==Follow up from a thankyou==
  
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:
+
I want to thank you for removing all the spamming madness that was happening in early March, how crazy was that, appreciate your efforts to help the community, a lot like myself :) --[[User:Cdst16|Cdst16]] ([[User talk:Cdst16|talk]]) 07:10, 7 April 2017 (PDT)
 +
*Thank you! I'll be sure to pass your message to all the other GMs and developers who have helped us sort this out. We really appreciate all the effort you and all our wiki editors have put through this madness. Thank you again! --[[User:Clotho|Clotho]] ([[User talk:Clotho|talk]]) 14:11, 9 April 2017 (PDT)

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.
+
== Wiki Images ==
 
+
Are there any plans to restore images uploaded after the game transfered to Grey Havens? I don't know if I should reupload some of the lost images (so I don't replace them) and if they will be lost in the future when I upload some (even entirely new images). --[[User:Matusm|Matusm]] ([[User talk:Matusm|talk]]) 10:42, 13 April 2017 (PDT)
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].
+
:Unfortunately, those images were lost forever during the move. Our only choice is to reupload little by little using saved files, taking new screenshots or even using wayback machine in some cases :( --[[User:Clotho|Clotho]] ([[User talk:Clotho|talk]]) 15:30, 14 April 2017 (PDT)
 
+
::https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B819bXipY0SReXRjTWJpU1VadlE/view?usp=sharing Took dump of wiki images some time ago. Isn't it your chance to fix it? --[[User:Rrrrex|Rrrrex]] ([[User talk:Rrrrex|talk]]) 02:34, 15 April 2017 (PDT)
What should be done about this? Is there something technical somewhere that explains this for our wiki that I'm missing?

:Not to be impolite/impatient: we'd like to know about this soon, so that we may publish our work with [[Sandbox/Userspace Protocol]] (discussed [http://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/112452 here in the forums]). My gut wants to put it in the Help space, not SpiralKnights. I'd like to fix the other issues too, so that I can make editing easier for others by making a kickbutt style guide, especially when I can no longer edit as much as I have been (I've already procrastinated with life much more than I should, old habits die hard). --[[User:Novaster|Novaster]] 19:58, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
+
::Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, I have been working on other projects. I'm not sure what exactly needs to be done here - the Spiralknights namespace is for management-type pages and the Help namespace is precisely that: help documentation for potential editors. Why exactly do we want to change this? --[[User:Clotho|Clotho]] 16:52, 7 December 2015 (UTC)
+
:::We needed clarification, we don't want to change the system's rules at all - we should just fix a few pages that seem to be in the wrong space because they seem to break these "rules". The style guide is in the Spiralknights namespace, for example, when it should be in help, right? Redirects and image tags should also be in Help, correct me if I'm wrong. --[[User:Novaster|Novaster]] 17:37, 7 December 2015 (UTC)
+
:::: Yes, you are right. Those pages are indeed in the wrong namespace! --[[User:Clotho|Clotho]] 20:54, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
+
 
+
We want to do things in ways that make sense, but we can't without knowing exactly what each namespace is for (now that you've clarified this, we think we know). New users are overwhelmed by the style guide, so we want to essentially make it into a list of <nowiki>{{main|Help:PAGENAME}}</nowiki> links, organized by general edit goals such as "visuals," "organizagion," "navigation," and so on.
+
:: This sounds like a great idea and will help new editors navigate these waters more easily. --[[User:Clotho|Clotho]] 20:54, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
+
 
+
To start, we want to publish our userspace editing protocol. I want to make:
+
"Help:Userspace editing protocol," containing the content of [[Sandbox/Userspace Protocol]]. Instead of <strike>Spiralknights:Userspace editing protocol</strike> containing that content. But until your response, the basic function of these namespaces was confusing. So now I/we're just waiting on an "oh sure, fix these things and go ahead" or "no wait, we need to look into this more." --[[User:Novaster|Novaster]] 18:08, 7 December 2015 (UTC)
+
:: Please do go ahead, these tweaks will be most helpful! --[[User:Clotho|Clotho]] 20:54, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
+
:::Before I dive in, will the move/redirect cause any issues with the Style guide? Especially external, non wiki links? I'm not super familiar with breaching namespace issues. It's a pretty major page after all, and linked to in the navigation panel. I'd like to think redirects take care of such things as long as they're not deleted. (My concern is with broken navigation) --[[User:Novaster|Novaster]] 21:34, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
+
::::I don't think so. We can give it a try and if it breaks stuff we can always revert the changes. --[[User:Clotho|Clotho]] 00:04, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
+
:::::Right! We/I'll get to that pretty soon (within the week, likely). Waiting on a few things from other editors in the forums, and of course, real life is busy during the holidays. --[[User:Novaster|Novaster]] 00:16, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
+
::::::No rush! This could be a nice project to start the new year :)  Enjoy the holidays! --[[User:Clotho|Clotho]] 16:25, 13 December 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 <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).
+
 
+
Unless it was protected for some other reason? Could we have a similar solution(s) for that if so?
+
 
+
Thanks,
+
 
+
--[[User:Novaster|Novaster]] 11:25, 28 July 2015 (UTC)
+
: That page is linked to our billing documentation therefore it needs to be protected in full, not just part of it. An alternative would be to make the changes in a sandbox, once ready, let me know and I'll update the changes in the page itself. --[[User:Clotho|Clotho]] 17:00, 7 August 2015 (UTC)
+
 
+
::That's going to be a bit difficult. Editors really need to be able to freely edit a page that's such a large interactive and dynamic part of the game. That makes a lot of hassle to unprotect/protect a page on staff end over time. It's not possible to create [[Operation Crimson Hammer/Billing]], protect that, and then adjust billing documentation to link to that page instead? If not, I'll have to work something out on our end, but it likely won't be as pretty. --[[User:Novaster|Novaster]] 17:34, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
+
 
+
Quoted from email to support (regarding my inability to log in for a day or so, but another employee resolved the ticket so you might not have seen this): ''OCH issue: make a billing page about OCH, named "Operation Crimson Hammer/Billing" and protect 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.''
+
 
+
--[[User:Novaster|Novaster]] 21:45, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
+
 
+
::: I'll discuss this with the billing department, but I don't foresee any changes in the near future. Sorry! --[[User:Clotho|Clotho]] 20:42, 6 October 2015 (UTC)
+
::: Actually, what might work for the time being is a Sandbox/Operation Crimson Hammer where you guys make all the editions you want and I'll just copy/paste the contents into the protected page. --[[User:Clotho|Clotho]] 20:46, 6 October 2015 (UTC)
+
::::I view this as a bandaid solution for reasons stated above (quite a hassle to do it this way if we continue to get more expansion missions). I/We'll work on that...soonish, most likely, but real life is very pressing for me these days. Let's hope billing can be flexible! --[[User:Novaster|Novaster]] 20:53, 6 October 2015 (UTC)
+
::::: We have another idea that might work better. I'll post here as soon as it's fleshed out. --[[User:Clotho|Clotho]] 20:04, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
+
::::::Sounds exciting. --[[User:Novaster|Novaster]] 20:13, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
+
::::::Any news about this? And btw (in response to a support request), we are totally already putting soundtrack information on location pages. Super happy staff is on board with this idea. --[[User:Novaster|Novaster]] 23:58, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
+
:::::::No news I'm afraid. I've been sent to different projects so this one had to go to the back burner. I'll holler when/if that changes. --[[User:Clotho|Clotho]] 21:43, 26 January 2016 (UTC)
+
 
+
==New Redirect Tags==
+
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)
+
:There is some desire to just adjust the rules for [[:Category:Redirects from shortcut]], which we already have, which is what brought this up. --[[User:Novaster|Novaster]] 05:55, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
+
:: I don't see an issue with adding that new tag. Has anyone mentioned a con to this proposal? --[[User:Clotho|Clotho]] 16:58, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
+
:::Hikaru would have to make changes regarding [http://wiki.spiralknights.com/es/Categor%C3%ADa:Redirecciones_desde_atajos some work they did using the "shortcut" tag in the spanish wiki]. If it is unacceptable to adjust the "shortcut" tag's function to include all "misc shortcuts" (which I think is the best option because I am not particularly fond of nitty gritty nitpicky exclusive mostly useless functions, no matter how "technically correct" they are, but that's just me), then we will make the new tag - since you don't see an issue - and adjust. --[[User:Novaster|Novaster]] 17:14, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
+
 
+
Looking carefully at "R from shortcut" examples, shortcut really seems to be best. Especially considering [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Redirects_from_shortcuts wikipedia's policy on the matter], specifically: "Shortcuts are historically reserved for Wikipedia project reference pages and are now used in and for all namespaces." I feel we should definitely follow in these footsteps, unless staff is opposed. I'll happily adjust the criteria on the [[Help:Redirect]] page. --[[User:Novaster|Novaster]] 18:27, 3 March 2016 (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)
+
 
+
== More Issues ==
+
 
+
Working through a very, very nasty knot of namespace issues. As expected, it is tedious. I've run into several issues/suggestions that I cannot edit due to page protections:
+
{{showhide|[[Controls]]|content=
+
[[Controls]] should have a link to [[Gamepad]] under the Gamepad section. Here's what I'd do, if the page weren't protected (some format tweaks too, to make it look better):
+
<pre>
+
== Gamepad ==
+
[[Image:Official-Gamepad.png|400px|thumb|right|[[Gamepad]] Navigation]]
+
{{main|Gamepad}}
+
 
+
With this option:
+
*The gamepad is used for targeting, attacking, movement, advanced commands and quickslots.
+
*The mouse is used for menu navigation.
+
*The keyboard is used for chat
+
 
+
'''Move''' - Use the '''Left Analog Stick''' to move your knight around
+
</pre>
+
And blah blah. You'll want to remove the obviously redundant See Also section, with its link to "Gamepads".
+
}}
+
{{showhide|[[Terms of Service|ToS]]|content=
+
[[Terms of Service]] should have a link to the official [http://www.spiralknights.com/tos.xhtml Terms of Service], shouldn't it? Somewhere near the top, I imagine.
+
}}
+
{{showhide|Navigation Panel|content=
+
The "Style guide" link in the navigation panel under the search bar - it would be nice if it linked directly to [[Help:Style guide]] instead of through the redirect we agreed to make. There's plenty of links I won't bother fixing because it's not worth anyone's time, but I strongly feel that this change would be worth it, if such a thing is within your power to change.
+
}}
+
{{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.
+
 
+
{{showhide|Source fixes - the pre makes it extend quite a ways to the right|content=
+
<pre>
+
Use the form below to upload files.
+
To view or search previously uploaded files go to the [[Special:FileList|list of uploaded files]], (re)uploads are also logged in the [[Special:Log/upload|upload log]], deletions in the [[Special:Log/delete|deletion log]].
+
 
+
<div style="border: 1px solid grey; background: #ddf; padding: 10px 30px; margin: 0 auto;"> <big>'''Note''': If you are uploading your file for a specific use on our wiki, you should refer to the [[Help:Style guide|style guide]] and provide detailed information on:</big>

#Add an appropriate '''[[Help:Image tags|image tag]]''' to the summary box.

#Images found on websites or on an image search engine should '''not''' be uploaded to the Spiral Knights Wiki. (For exceptions, see [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use Fair use] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Public_domain_image_resources Free image resources]).</div>

I'm sure I will run into more issues as time ticks mercilessly by with this project. --[[User:Novaster|Novaster]] 04:44, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

Accidental Block

I've noticed you blocked User:Aferron, who don't have anything to do with this spamming madness. Can you unblock him, please? --Matusm 11:12, 13 March 2017 (UTC)

Unblocked now. We have been flooded and a few valid users got caught in the sweep. Please send me an in game request (those get looked at faster) if you notice any other incorrect block. Thank you!

Follow up from a thankyou

I want to thank you for removing all the spamming madness that was happening in early March, how crazy was that, appreciate your efforts to help the community, a lot like myself :) --Cdst16 (talk) 07:10, 7 April 2017 (PDT)

  • Thank you! I'll be sure to pass your message to all the other GMs and developers who have helped us sort this out. We really appreciate all the effort you and all our wiki editors have put through this madness. Thank you again! --Clotho (talk) 14:11, 9 April 2017 (PDT)

After yesterday I saw yet another attack on the wiki, with the user Parirux creating this page, I have already put the tag in for it to be deleted and the user blocked permanently, here is the link to the page created: http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Sddsdssdsd --Cdst16 (talk) 19:17, 7 April 2017 (PDT)

  • Looks like Cronus already took care of it! --Clotho (talk) 14:11, 9 April 2017 (PDT)

Wiki Images

Are there any plans to restore images uploaded after the game transfered to Grey Havens? I don't know if I should reupload some of the lost images (so I don't replace them) and if they will be lost in the future when I upload some (even entirely new images). --Matusm (talk) 10:42, 13 April 2017 (PDT)

Unfortunately, those images were lost forever during the move. Our only choice is to reupload little by little using saved files, taking new screenshots or even using wayback machine in some cases :( --Clotho (talk) 15:30, 14 April 2017 (PDT)
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B819bXipY0SReXRjTWJpU1VadlE/view?usp=sharing Took dump of wiki images some time ago. Isn't it your chance to fix it? --Rrrrex (talk) 02:34, 15 April 2017 (PDT)
