Image Use on the Wiki

The Society webminister has instructed us to begin collecting releases before uploading/publishing new images on this site. To help facilitate this, the users authorized to upload files has been restricted to Editors and Administrators, specifically excluding Commenters. Anyone may submit files for inclusion via the Media Submission Form.

While free to upload files, you, the editors, will still have to collect releases and forward them to the Administrator. We are permitted to accept electronic releases via email. The release may read:

I, [Modern Name] ([SCA Name]) authorize the use of the following media files to be used within the pages of the Compendium Caidis (AKA Caid Wiki):
  • [List of filenames]

This step is not necessary in cases where the Administrator already has a release for the submitted files. Examples include:

  • Images already published on www.sca-caid.org may be used here without additional releases. This includes the Caid Roll of Arms. Please try and provide credit on the file's "File:" page, if known.
  • Any file from the sites listed under "Full Use" at Help: Media may be uploaded without additional release. When using these sites, please include the artist/photographer credit on the image's "File:" page. You may include the source URL which would help us if we later need to find the release for a specific file.
  • Any file submitted via Persona Submission Form or Media Submission Form has a release attached that is sent to the Administrator.

This change does not in any way change permissions to add or edit text, links, etc.

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. As this will surely increase my own workload, I expect I will be seeking specific help in this area in the near future.--Lachlan 21:26, 26 July 2010 (PDT)

Scroll Notes

Categories

Aliskye, when added the date range categories to the scrolls you are leaving off the scroll part. It should be [[Category:1983 Scrolls]], not [[Category:1983]]. Otherwise things are looking great. Thanks! --Kolfinna 13:12, 14 April 2009 (PDT)

  • Thanks! I think I've corrected everything (plus realized I wasn't putting the name of the scroll type in. Fussy wiki. :) I'm catching on slowly...sorta. user:aliskye

Images

  • Yes, I think I might be able to do that. Did you upload a new version with the old name? It is likely that the full-sized file is now correct, but the thumbnail is incorrect. This is a known bug with our Wiki.--Lachlan 14:51, 15 April 2009 (PDT)
  • Ha-rumph! I deleted the first image, AliskyeMacKyvenRaizel5.JPG, but it remains in the category!--Lachlan 14:56, 15 April 2009 (PDT)

Hi! you are doing such a great job of putting up scrolls, that I hate to even say this --- I was following Natalya's scroll making career (didn't realize she had done one), and found it linked to a picture of a Thea scroll. Looks like a mix up!--EowynA 16:33, 24 April 2009 (PDT)

  • Did some formatting experiments today. Check out Aelfred Raedwald of Devonport and Agatha of Tintagel--Lachlan 13:00, 28 April 2009 (PDT)
    • The code for the table is a bit more difficult to write. I think it's a personal taste question for you. If you like the table, great. Is there anything you _don't_ like about the table, that maybe can be fixed before copying the formatting to umpteen populace pages?--Lachlan 13:22, 28 April 2009 (PDT)

Pent Name

Fixed :)--Kolfinna 21:16, 26 April 2009 (PDT)

Lyondemere

Bummer. And I just added a couple of links to the History section of the Lyondemere Wiki, like, Friday. I wouldn't exactly call it "redundant" myself. "Abridged" might be a better term. I suppose you could make articles like "Lyondemere Meetings," "Lyondemere Officers", "Lyondemere Archery"...--Lachlan 15:55, 27 April 2009 (PDT)

Scroll Stuff

  1. I don't know how to change the alphabetization rules of the wiki, if that is even possible. You might ask yourself the question, "Are the year categories useful at all?" The answer might well be "no", since they're categorized by award date, not the date the art was created.
  2. I'll try and investigate that.
  3. There is a redirect page for Eowyn Amberdrake, it just is not categorized. I suppose the redirect page could be categorized, which would mean she would appear twice on the list. If so, should it also be categorized for Laurels and Pelicans categories?
  4. I think, to make what you want, you would need to build a table within an article, probably "Scrolls".--Lachlan 12:36, 14 May 2009 (PDT)
  • Quoting Kolfinna:
    • To completely remove the (year) scrolls category, yes you would have to remove it from each individual page. However you could just remove it from obvious linking by removing the category:scrolls link on each of the year pages. That would stop it from being a sub category... --Kolfinna 14:08, 14 May 2009 (PDT)
  • The only way I can figure to make an index of scroll recipients is the "hard way". That is, bullet lists.--Lachlan 17:19, 9 June 2009 (PDT)
    • Sorry for the jargon. Most lists of data on this site use bullet lists, which are indicated by an asterisk at the beginning of the line. Here's a possible format:

== Somebody of Somewhere ==
*[[:Image:CoronationSpring03 52.JPG|Award of Arms scroll]]
*[[:Image:CoronationSpring03 53.JPG|Award of Arms scroll (detail)]]

...And so on...

    • Hmm... I think that readers might be more interested in seeing scrolls on the recipient's own populace page, rather than browsing a list by recipient. I agree with you we would have to add a heading, as a scroll is almost always not a project of the recipient. Kingdom Scrolls Received? Scrolls for <name of recipient>?--Lachlan 13:52, 11 June 2009 (PDT)
  • Not sure what happened, that page was in the section I was checking for unknown links today, so I have no idea why the scroll thumbnails would have been removed. Sorry about that! --Valdis 00:35, 9 July 2009 (PDT)

Looking through the list for unknown scribes. The one you have for my AoA on the list as of today is by Vigdís vestfirzka. It was a replacement for the original AoA scroll that I got waybackwhen that was destroyed by fire. Mary Taran.

Gallery Tag

Hiya Aliskye, I just learned about the gallery tag that wiki has, and I thought you might find it useful. Take a look at White Scarves and see how I galleried their pictures. I put syntax help up at Help:Gallery --Kolfinna 16:56, 28 July 2009 (PDT)


Wiki Editor

Greetings. This is a blanket note being sent to all the Editors of the CaidWiki. It has been approximately a year since most of you have held this position. The editor position on the wiki requires a bit more responsibility than the regular user, as you are a go to resource for people needing help and are a reviewer for the areas allocated to you (as shown on the Help:Team). If you'd like to remain as an editor for another year, please reply to this message. If you'd like to become a regular user (no responsibility, but still have the ability to edit anything any time), please reply to this message. If you have any questions feel free to contact me. Thanks! --Kolfinna 11:19, 7 August 2009 (PDT)

I've gotten a little busy with work (which ebbs and flows all the time) but I'm still very interested in continuing as an editor and working with the scroll and scribes sections. Aliskye 12:56, 11 August 2009 (PDT)

  • Cool. Thanks for staying on. I appreciate all your hard work! --Kolfinna 15:51, 11 August 2009 (PDT)

Test Area

*Adrianna Somerset Morgan - Award of Arms scroll

Scribe Page Question

  • Replied on my talk page.--Lachlan 21:45, 3 November 2009 (PST)

Scrolls on the page for Arianna ny Shane

Aliskye, While correcting a link I noticed that the file image for the first two scrolls should be reversed. The first one says it's for Marcel Longueville but it's the scroll for Lúarán MacCearnaigh (was listed originally as Lauran) and the scroll for Lúarán is actually the scroll for Marcel. I didn't want to risk messing up the table so I'm leaving this note for you to decide how you want to correct it. --Valdis 23:17, 2 January 2010 (PST)

You're welcome! I wasn't sure how to change the info on the image file but I'll check it out and do that in the future. Thanks! --Valdis 17:25, 5 January 2010 (PST)

Fionnabhair Kyriath Inghean Uí Néill

This page contains some mixed-up mark-up relating to scrolls table. You can find it near the bottom. I'm not sure what needs to be done to clean it up. Can you check it out? Thanks.--Lachlan 21:54, 9 February 2010 (PST)

All fixed! Aliskye 22:05, 9 February 2010 (PST)
