Howdy, the wiki sometimes takes a long time to show the most recent file - usually a couple days, sometimes a week or more. It's just a wiki thing, uploading/reverting won't help speed it up. I see you're interested in APNG stuff, which is great! I'd love to talk with you about it in-game, delayed talk pages/forums isn't the best way. My IGN is Novaster, same as it is here. -Novaster 15:59, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
Oh Oh do...
Oh, do Cold Iron Vanquisher next! (if you want lol).
But don't upload more yet, I'm making that gallery right now so editors can upload these to consistent names. -Novaster 01:10, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
Unified Look
We probably won't want a giant moving gallery in an official capacity, but feel free to maintain one on your user page for fun. It would be gorgeous, but, users want fast page loads and many would prefer to control animation viewing by clicking (or grrrr, mousehover, something I don't know if we can do on wiki). Your weapon rotations are otherwise fabulous and top-notch. -Novaster 00:48, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
- xD yeah sure, i was just testing. The loading time is really bad using too many animations on one page. The mouseover would be really the best solution, loading the animation only on demand. -Thepc 11:21, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
Gallery
Okay, so - do these as we have time and such, don't stick them on pages until they're completed (otherwise people get super confused). We also don't know where exactly this could go on the weapon pages - likely after "notes" and before "see also," as we discussed in-game.
Regarding the video link, I'm actually still waiting on a reply from both the video uploader (Chawkthree) and staff if we can use external videos in this capacity on the wiki. So leaves those blank for now :). Template documentation is pending until I get replies from these sources - there are a lot of tiny little switches I've put in there that may not be intuitive, in an effort to force same-filename uploads and so on. And these will change depending on the permissions we get, so I don't feel like doing documentation until then. Ask away if it's confusing though. Also feedback on format would be good - if we like it, we can go to forums, but this is a "fake" gallery format that mimics the real <gallery> behavior, so we would go to forums more for where it should go on the page more than how it should look (I think).
Regarding your animations, they would be uploaded toCurrent Weapon Gallery
Example below. Please upload your obsidian edge animation to the second panel in the second row. If it works, we can move on to the next stage of development (mass weapon animation uploads and publishing). Still waiting on staff regarding external video links, so hold off on that particular part. -Novaster 04:42, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

An inspect window view. |
Great idea using a "Animation wanted, click to upload" picture, looks much better than just redlinks for sure. But it does not seem to update after uploading my animation, wich is only show 'on click' now. I'm not sure, maybe its just the usual delay until images are updated. Your Mecha Helm animation is now also not showing until clicked. As i am typing this answer and previewing my changes, i can actually see the correct picture though ;D -Thepc 09:36, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
- yeah just save the page and it shows up if it's uploaded. -Novaster 09:52, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
- Regarding mecha helm, I've changed the filename destination, it won't show up until someone uploads another one (probably me) - I just want the corners cropped, hehe. -Novaster 09:56, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
xD oh ok great, so i should just edit and save the page after upload? -Thepc 10:06, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
- Try testing out the template with CIV on your talk page here, see if you can "plug and chug" it intuitively. -Novaster 10:06, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
Wiki Format
btw if they allow embedded youtube videos, i think there is no need for charge and combo attack animation, most of them suck anywas due to the lack of color / resolution you can store using 2mb.
How / where do i tag images? i can only find the comment textbox, but nothing for tags. -Thepc 10:06, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
- Either as you upload them, or by editing the file page like you would a normal page. Add the tag with two brackets - example on your user image (I go through tagging things like a robot sometimes). Here is a list of image tags. Images can have more than one tag (like "sword" and "APNG" etc.) -Novaster 10:09, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
- Yeah that's right, but use tags like "sword" on images that are going to be used in an official capacity. -Novaster 10:37, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
Link
Giant space so this is easy to see. Anyway, here is a list of all missing animations that could use uploading right now, no waiting needed! This list includes both tooltips and overworld. If further distinction is desired, I can manage that but it's not efficient in the long run. -Novaster 04:42, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
Animation rotation
Ah, could you get the first frame to be a back view of the item? (like many "equipped 2" images) otherwise, it's fantastic! -Novaster 10:59, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
