Who knew i made the same mistake almost five years apart? hahaha

Templates

Be very careful adding line breaks and whitespace to templates. Example fix. --Novaster 15:19, 22 August 2015 (UTC)

Oh! Ok, so it is better if the categories are close to the code? (With the noinclude). I will keep it in mind since now. Thx ^^ --Hikaru 19:28, 22 August 2015 (UTC)

Yes. As snuggly as possible. --Novaster 19:35, 22 August 2015 (UTC)

Official Images

You're missing a critical link for your request on Clotho's page. I would suggest fixing "this." --Novaster 23:21, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

Oh wow, i facepalm myself so hard haha. Thx for notice it. Fix it :D --Hikaru 23:26, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

Opinion/small

Delete what about it? --Novaster 05:18, 29 August 2015 (UTC)

Oh, i saw two version: this one Template:Opinion/small and this one Template:Opinion/Small both are the same, the difference between both was that one had a category and the other one doesnt, and of course the "S" and "s", and i saw 15 pages uses "small" and other 6 pages uses "Small" (like ur sandbox) so dunno if it was intentional or a mistake. I just added the category (note templates) to the "small" because i didnt have it. Thats why i left the message in summary. Just in case it is intentional. --Hikaru 18:14, 29 August 2015 (UTC)

Ah I see. In the past, there seems to have been a division between using capital or lowercase letters, depending on who made the template and their mood I suppose. I have been trying to use capital letters after a slash, following the pattern of Template:SKWindow/Cell, even though certain schools of thought maintain that such things should be lowercase. It's a raging war that makes almost no noise ;P. Sometimes these things just slip between the cracks. It's happened with templates before. I have placed a redirect to the capital version for now, so it shouldn't be a problem. --Novaster 20:29, 29 August 2015 (UTC)

Haha funny that u mention the war xD. In the spanish there is mostly category names without capital but i think with capital letters works better i just try to follow the pattern but still think it is better with capitals xD. Plus, i didnt know the redirect worked with templates too. Thx btw :) --Hikaru 20:37, 29 August 2015 (UTC)

The redirect is not something I'd use often - it's better for players to learn to use the correct template. Or well, the one the wiki wants to use. --Novaster 20:42, 29 August 2015 (UTC)

Gate Map Resize

Gate maps are great :D really gives a good info about the mission! But i was wonder, why does it change size when show/hide dunno if its in my computer or on purpose. --Hikaru 22:42, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

Oh I've been meaning to fix that silly size change issue. --Novaster 22:57, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

Okay, it is fixed now, to my knowledge. Those little coding things! I am glad the new format is inspiring. --Novaster 23:00, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

Haha i assumed it was something with the code and i read u are self-taugh so i didnt want to ask it, but like the scenario appear ha. Im curious u//u --Hikaru 23:16, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

MediaWiki is very descriptive of its parser functions. And all this that is on display for essentially free. Always ask if something seems weird. I'll have to touch up the notes sections on the mission pages and add maps later. I'll not edit a page until a few hours have passed since the format update. --Novaster 23:25, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

Mine already seems nice :D (the gate map show/hide) now it doesnt change size :3. --Hikaru 00:20, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

Redirect: Shortcuts

Those redirects/pages shouldn't be tagged with shortcuts. Shortcuts are reserved for Spiral Knights Wiki project reference pages (SpiralKnights: namespace) only. It's a very technical thing. --Novaster 00:59, 12 November 2015 (UTC) It seems pretty silly to me though. I'll see if we can't talk about it with staff, because it would be nice to be able to use it this way. --Novaster 01:08, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

I'll see if it would be okay to make the equivalent of this for our wiki. --Novaster 01:16, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

Lol then this is no good haha. (Its the equivalent of shortcut tag in the ES wiki). But why dont we use the tag? i mean it is almost empty anyway. It only have two pages, and one of them is the manual. Even equinox used the shortcut tag to the "Template:D" right? we can just ask to "change the rules" and allow shortcut tag to be used anywhere (again, equinox used it anyway xD) but well, im going to sleep now :) i probably wouldnt log tomorrow so see you later~ P.D: hope ur tummy ache dissapeared :) --Hikaru 05:46, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

I agree, that's why it seems silly to me. Night! --Novaster 05:53, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

Tag in an Image

Just FYI, Hat Simulator is a guild. The image doesn't portray unreleased content, so it's essentially fan art, and as far as I know the Spiral Spy thing isn't an issue because of this. It's not going to be used in an official capacity regarding articles about the game. Pretend it's "Guildspace." --Novaster 21:25, 14 November 2015 (UTC)

Ohh it is? Though it was fanart but didnt know the spiral spy's "rules" allow it xD thx for that save --Hikaru 23:19, 14 November 2015 (UTC)

TBH I don't really know for sure (98% sure?) Thanks for finding my embarrassing early uploads and adding delete tags. I tried to find them all before but files are sneaky. The wiki feels overly biological with its "rules" sometimes. Oh yeah, follow this rule to a T, except for this, this, and this exception. Bleh. --Novaster 10:30, 15 November 2015 (UTC)

Ohhh those accesories shows? they looks nice tho! but too complicated to do (overworld are "easier" xD) haha :). And i didnt get the "folow this rule to a T" x-x! --Hikaru 02:29, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

Hello

What you're doing around the wiki is really great! Thank you. --Novaster 19:21, 18 August 2015 (UTC)

Vacations

I'm just denying that I have to be in the air in a few hours because my ears don't like flying. --Novaster 12:14, 21 September 2015 (UTC)

Enjoy it~ drink a piña colada~ (dunno how it taste tho haha) and have fun this month (and a hafl) :3. You will be like "why did it end OTL" haha. Well, i was about to going to sleep till i saw the recent changes. Good so i can tell you to have a great trip :3! take care and have fun ^^ (u sure be missing around here D:! But still, enjoy your vacations :3) --Hikaru 12:26, 21 September 2015 (UTC)

Have a nice rest, and it will be a fun vacation. Unless something horrible happens, but that's implicit. --Novaster 12:34, 21 September 2015 (UTC)

But it wont :O! --Hikaru 05:39, 22 September 2015 (UTC)

ClothoTalk

Do you mind if I (or you) stick the resolved issues into showhides on clotho's talk page? Since we bombard Clotho with so many requests, this helps them keep track of what's done and what's worked-on-but-not-done-yet etc. --Novaster 22:59, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

Sounds good, i can keep it in mind for the future. We can help with that so Clotho can add them to archives later :). I dont think it would be bad. --Hikaru 23:04, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

Yeah I had a specific talk about it in the past :). --Novaster 23:07, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

Dark Harvest Festival (Oct 2015)

The Festival

I am pretty swamped with several disguise box visuals. Would you mind doing some of the edits to update The Dark Harvest page to our current mission page format standards? Unless you have other plans. --Novaster 21:41, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

Not a problem~ Gonna upload some preview and new tooltips im cutting and do it :). I was going to tell you that the costumes (in Maskwell) doesnt have tooltip (just authentic spookat mask and authentic scarab mask), i already have the preview images but not the tooltip (im still not so good with APNG) --Hikaru 21:47, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

I talked to him on steam about it and looks like he's doing it :). Thanks for doing the mission page. I am suuuuper tired. Busy wiki day. --Novaster 23:32, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

Yeah :D saw he upload them. Yay for completing galleries~ Btw, the second floor of The Dark Harvest does have a name, when i get up to the elevador it show, even take a screen to write it without typos. With Spanish, it have the same title (but ofc, in spanish) --Hikaru 23:35, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

Each icon has its own naming system, I don't think the entire floor has its own name. But then again I'm half asleep. --Novaster 23:36, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

Oh well now that u mention i got twice Graveyard so i cant be sure xD Hope i get another map tomorrow so i can check. Go to sleep then~ Im probably going to do the same in a while, this week some workers have been destroying my sleep ._. . Have a good nite~ --Hikaru 23:40, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

You can check the gate map of the expedition you're in via the little bottom right menu. The wrench? Too tired to remember/check. --Novaster 23:49, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

Wowee it's unusual for a gate map. It seems to be different based on rank. We are collecting data here.--Novaster 22:29, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

Data Junkies

Dark Harvest Festival/Data - if you're interested. I have a few friends who seem to be, but it's not super important, and our time could be better spent elsewhere. But yeah ppl asked for it. --Novaster 01:45, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

Oh yeah, was seen it right now. I might try but not sure if i could help with that --Hikaru 02:27, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

Noobish Questions

So, there are a few things that I'm not aware of and I don't really know where to find answers. Such a noob. xP So I guess I'll turn to you, since you seem to be a friendly type of person.

1) So, my first question is, how to delete photos that are uploaded? I have uploaded one screenshot, but I'd like to remove it, since it has no place in the wiki.
2) Also another photo related question. How to change their description? Instead of having silly gibberish written I'd like to have {screenshot image} written. Is it perhaps necessary to reupload the same photo and then write a different description?
3) Is there a template for Acquisition section for Vendors? I ask this because I thought since I collect Basil data, that I could help by just automatically insert this data into weapons/gear pages. But by looking at pages I realize the standard has not yet been decided or implemented. For example, Sacred_Snakebite_Keeper_Armor where it says "Vendors who sell the recipe for this item" the code is different from Vog_Cub_Cap one, not to mention Polaris which is in completely different position. You understand, right? I just wanted to be helpful by directly writing "Basil sells this item here at this Depth, and so does this dude Echo and Daxen..." in a nice formated way, since I'm already gathering this info anyway, but I should just... stay out of it, right? xD ----MissNice 15:55, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

Hey! haha ofc not! u dont have to be stay out, the more you participate the better for all :). Well, first the answers:

1. You can't "delete" them, like dissapear them from the wiki, that can only be done by an admin (i guess). But if you want a file (and a page too) be deleted you add a tag {{delete}} like this one in the description, and it would help put why are you deleting it like this one for example. The tag add a note in the image and add the image to a category of Candidates for deletion but after that, theres nothing one can do.
   
2. And now, how to edit description. Well you just simple need to open the image/file page and at the top there is a label "Edit" like pages. With that you can change its description (thats where you put the tags). You dont need to reupload it unless you want to change the name, for example: File:Number_1-Example is the name but you want to change it for: File:Example-Number_1.png, in that case you need to re-upload cuz you cant move files like you can move pages.
   
3. There is a main template (see the links here, (2º) Second Phase > Main Templates). A resume is that i was working in the Spanish wiki, fixing the item's page, when i ask Novaster about why some pages have the order and other doesn't, he said to me that i was planned to do a big acquisition's template first with all items so later it would be implemented. As i want to make the Spanish's wiki look better, i decide to help here first and then go to the Spanish to translate. I started checking all acquisition resources (like Hall of Heroes's vendors, Strangers, Boxes, bundles, and etc) and help put them all in the main template (which later decided to split in all those link you just saw in my talk page) but Basil's information was old and Novaster though it would be better to check it and updated first, add it to the templates and then implemented it in the pages. I said i could help with missions lobbies but not really with arcade, so that's when your help was asked :). You have gathered all that info of Basil and, even when i already have the Mission lobby's data, i mainly needed the Basil's arcade data and when i read you were going with that i was like: YAY!. I know is a tedious work to check the wares of basil in arcade so you dont need to hurry about that, after you take your time and have all the info where you can really said "well, thats all" then we can start adding that data to the main templates. I ask Novaster about it and told me that we can implemented if after we have all the data.

The way you are adding data to your user page is great :3! Is sorted and organized! I suggest we can follow the advice of Novaster, wait for all the data and then start adding them to the template, but you too need to give your opinion :P. In the case you would like to add the data directly to the templates, here is the "format" we follow:

For Arcade only = *{{Basil|star=#|only=yes/no}}

For Arcade and Mission Lobby = {{Basil|star=#|only=yes/no}}, lobby of the {{mission|NAME}} and {{mission|NAME}} (unbound)

For Mission Lobby only (i doubt it but can happen, who knows) = [[Basil]] - Lobby of the {{mission|NAME}} and {{mission|NAME}} (unbound)

The "only=" is if the recipe is only acquired in the Arcade, i took care of (i think) all the only-recipe of basil, so mostly would be "no" but you may check anyway. I talked with Novaster about the "order" (you can see here (1º) First Phase > Acquisiton 1.0 > Order of the Information) so all the actual data in the templates follow that.

Thats basically all (long post, sorry) if you have any other question, ask without problem :). I will do my best to help you, Novaster is the one who knows (almost) every detail of the wiki format xD but i can share what i have learned :). Take care~ P.D: I forgot to add, Sacred Snakebite Keeper Armor and those armor related have their own template which is done (as i saw) so dont need to worry about those :) --Hikaru 01:40, 24 September 2015 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for telling me all this, it sets me on the right direction. =) Cheers! --MissNice 16:04, 24 September 2015 (UTC)

Monstrous Codexes

The Trojan's Monstrous Codex is found in Blades of the Fallen (right before Trojan fight) and the Zombie's Monstrous Codex is found in The Rotting Metropolis (level start). --Snarbylord 17:31, 26 September 2015 (UTC)

Saw you already add them to their pages. Thx alot! --Hikaru 23:41, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
