I've made sure to put all the editor's user names at Help:Team. Also you can always check out the full user list at Special:Listusers. --Kolfinna 11:03, 22 June 2008 (PDT)

Update to Fix Page

Help:Fix is where I am storing all the things to do and what needs to be focused on. We all have our own pet projects, but if you could also keep an eye on this page, that would be helpful.

More on images

Can someone tell me how to upload a photo when it's on a website? Thanks! Aliskye 17:27, 17 April 2009 (PDT)

  • There may be an easier way but you can always download it to your hard drive and then upload it to the Wiki. That also gives you the opportunity to crop or otherwise alter the image for the best presentation before you upload it. Be sure to add proper credit for the photographer/artist/etc. to the comments section when you upload.--James the Inconstant 19:21, 17 April 2009 (PDT)
    • I like what you did on Agatha's page. Should we make that the new format? It's nice and clean. Aliskye 13:08, 28 April 2009 (PDT) P.S. And thanks for putting the link to Scribes on the main page. That's perfect!
      • I like it fine! I'm just going to cut and paste it so it won't be that much more difficult for me to use. Thank you so much!!!!! Aliskye 13:29, 28 April 2009 (PDT)

And clearly the asterisks don't work as I thought they did.  :) Aliskye 13:30, 28 April 2009 (PDT)

Lyondemere Stuff

Thomas wants to shut down the Lyondemere Wiki (as redundant now) and I'm trying to figure out where to put stuff. Where do we put info about officers and practices (for example archery practice and former archery captains?) Thanks! Aliskye 14:16, 27 April 2009 (PDT)

Crown Poems

A Chronicle of Fall Crown Tourney A.S. XLIII is now fully online (well I need to work on Mora's one)... I can't remember who you said was looking for it from before. --Kolfinna 10:34, 28 April 2009 (PDT)

Templates

I don't like how it doesn't wrap. Makes it harder to copy and paste. I don't know what else would be a good solution. --Kolfinna 17:04, 29 April 2009 (PDT)

    • What does wikipedia proper use for it's template explanations? No point in reinventing the wheel. --Kolfinna 17:27, 29 April 2009 (PDT)

Scroll Stuff

I took out some of the old conversation but I have a question: I need to build some kind of an index to the scrolls by the name of the recipient so if I want to find all the scrolls for aliskye as opposed to all the scrolls *by* aliskye, I can find them. Any idea at all how to handle that? Aliskye 14:09, 8 June 2009 (PDT)

  • What's a bullet list? Can you point me to a page that has some? What I'd like is a page that lists everyone's name who has received a scroll with a link to it. (Or should I just link them somehow on each person's page?) Aliskye 17:37, 9 June 2009 (PDT)
    • So, I've been thinking about this a lot: What would be better, a big master list of names of scroll recipients with links to scrolls that were done for them? Or linking the scrolls to their actual page (under some kind of heading like Scrolls for so-n-so?) Aliskye 12:29, 11 June 2009 (PDT)

Laurel Scrolls

Click (next 200) twice. It appears that sub categories show up alphabetically with those within the main category.

  • 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)
  • Is there a way to get the Index to list all the types of scrolls on the same page? Aliskye 15:04, 14 May 2009 (PDT)

Template Change for Populace

I've really been liking the template change you started on the populace change. I use it way more frequently now, than I did before. --Kolfinna 00:40, 25 May 2009 (PDT)

  • Thank you. I like it as well. I'll look into expanding that project.--Lachlan 08:09, 25 May 2009 (PDT)

Thank You!

Lachlan, Thank you for all the time and effort you have put into the wiki office, and your willingness to step up as administrator when you were needed. Thank you for staying on as an editor. It is very much appreciated! --Kolfinna 10:53, 7 August 2009 (PDT)
