• • (Semi-unrelated) When you reply to my questions or comments could you possibly write them on my talk page? If not, I don't know you've replied. Thanks. :) --Ohmyn0 01:47, 7 November 2006 (EST)
    • I can copy them both places, I suppose, but I like to keep them together so I can refer back to conversations as conversations if I need to, and not just as pages of unanswered comments.--Hardvice 01:51, 7 November 2006 (EST)

location template

I'm getting frustrated with this template, but I think I have enough completed on it. The only problem is the image shows up as its entire size. I can't control it! Please help. ---- 02:14, 9 November 2006 (EST)

• I set it to 250px. You can adjust that as you see fit, or you can change it to "thumb" to use each person's individual thumb setting. I also added a variable to turn the Wikipedia link on and off; it will only link to WP if you have WPLink=yes in the template call when you use it.--Hardvice (talk) 02:18, 9 November 2006 (EST)

Tag Team Cleanup

Wow, what a system we have here: I make pages, and you correct them all. You're the best! (I just really love this show and want this wiki to grow stronger, however I'm still learning wiki tricks...) ---- 19:55, 9 November 2006 (EST)

• I'm just afraid that crew pages are the sort of thing that gets written quickly and then never updated. I want to make sure they're as up-to-date as possible since it's unlikely somebody will come back and edit them unless they have an image or episode to add.--Hardvice (talk) 19:59, 9 November 2006 (EST)
  • BTW, the green part of your sig is broken.--Hardvice (talk) 19:59, 9 November 2006 (EST)

Images

• It's best not to specify both thumb and a pixel width on images. Thumb allows users to control the width they see displayed through their preferences.--Hardvice (talk) 01:59, 12 November 2006 (EST)
• Also, if you are uploading an image to replace an old one (like Mr. Muggles), it's best to upload it over the old file. That way, we don't end up with a bunch of unlinked images, and as a bonus, you don't have to change the articles that link to it.--Hardvice (talk) 02:09, 12 November 2006 (EST)
  • I tried to upload over them, but it kept giving me trouble - sorry about all of the clean up. ---- 02:25, 12 November 2006 (EST)
    • No problem. Hit the "ignore all warnings" tick box and it should let you reupload without difficulty.--Hardvice (talk) 02:27, 12 November 2006 (EST)

• Ahhhhhh.... and thats the way it works. ---- 02:28, 12 November 2006 (EST)
  • I also just noticed you're manually inserting your signature. If you want to make it easier on yourself:
    1. Click "preferences"in the upper right of the screen.
    2. Put {{SUBST:User:ohmyn0/sig}} in Nickname
    3. Check "raw signatures"

That will let you sign posts using the toolbar button or by entering four tildes.--Hardvice (talk) 02:31, 12 November 2006 (EST)

• Check it out. Is that what you had in mind?--Hardvice (talk) 19:15, 12 November 2006 (EST)

Redirect to Categories

• When redirecting to categories, please put a colon before the word "category" in the redirect, like this: #REDIRECT [[:Category: Evolved Humans]]. This will prevent the redirect itself from being categorized.--Hardvice (talk) 03:42, 15 November 2006 (EST)

Image Sources

• Can you add a source for Image:Daniellesavre.JPG? We're trying to be better about noting the sources for our images. Thanks!--Hardvice (talk) 22:05, 28 November 2006 (EST)

Thanks

Hey, thanks for all the work you've been doing on the crew -- I think those pages are such a chore, so I'm glad somebody's doing it! - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 23:06, 29 November 2006 (EST)

Promotional Images

When you use {{image-promotional}}, can you also note the website you got the image from? Thanks!--Hardvice (talk) 19:30, 30 November 2006 (EST)

Pipes in Template calls

Just so you know, pipes don't always work in template calls. It usually interprets the pipe as the start of the next variable.--Hardvice (talk) 23:47, 30 November 2006 (EST)

Image Standard Sizes

If you just leave me a message with what qualifies a picture to be "standard size", I can automatically do that, no sweat. ---- 12:18, 1 December 2006 (EST)

• The same as other photos in the category. It's listed in the appropriate image category when I've remembered to put it there. 200x250 for character, cast, and crew portraits. 300x169 for the sidebar images for episodes (300px at 16x9 aspect ratio). 300x225 (or so) for Graphic Novel images. I haven't really standardised them yet for locations and places, because so far they all seem to work, but roughly the same size and shape as the others in the category is best.

If it doesn't go in a sidebar or a portal, it doesn't really matter. Otherwise, they should be consistent.--Hardvice (talk) 12:41, 1 December 2006 (EST)
