News Update
Heya, Violation is busy today and can't add the news update today. Since you did it on the other wiki did you wanna do it here? (If you have time) -- Fenyx4 (talk) 11:38, 7 March 2014 (MST)
- Sure, I'll jump on and get it added as soon as I get the update.. --Browncoat Jayson (talk) 11:43, 7 March 2014 (MST)
Names
Ha! I've been moving them AWAY from names like "Blades Skill" to "Blades Combat" since that is what DarkStarr had the charts named. Seems like we're working at cross purposes. -- Fenyx4 (talk) 02:17, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
- I was just making them consistent with the more common naming, since this hadn't been done yet. Since Skill thread calls them "<Skill> Combat", we can use that. --Browncoat Jayson (talk) 02:57, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
Redirects
Hey, noticed about a dozen broken redirects and double redirect pages and they seemed to have all been from pages you moved and/or deleted to rename. Do me a favor and when you're done doing moves and updates just check the redirects to be sure they're all good. I fixed what I found already. Violation (talk) 02:22, 19 April 2014 (UTC)

Location Template Maps
Example - What do you think? Should I put that in Template:Infobox_Location. In general the map stuff needs more work/features added. But I think it is good enough for this purpose. -- Fenyx4 (talk) 19:06, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
- Yeah, if there Are coordinates, no reason not to show it. Looks good.--Browncoat Jayson (talk) 19:45, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

Icons
Hello,
I wanted to upload many missing skill icons but first of all when i upload form game screenshots have small resolution 50x50 pixels. Your and Fenyx4 icons have 250x250 so i assume You have them form "Portalarium".
Small icons look not bad, but when anyone go into icon page ( like here hhttp://sotawiki.net/sota/File:Banish_Undead_Icon.png) then it look horrible.
Next thing i have no idea how to add icons to existing pages, when i do edit there is no code line with icon. I read templates and even added line in infobox skill http://sotawiki.net/sota/Banish_Undead) and still icon don't show. And the same thing with main skill tree for examplehttp://sotawiki.net/sota/Life_Magic i can't icon, nothing cause there is nothing in code.
Hope You can explain me how to do it.
- All you need to do is add them with the proper name, "(PageName)_icon.png". It looks like you had "icon" capitalized, so changing that fixed it. Note that these changes to not propagate immediately; you can wait til they do, generally within 8 hours or so, or you can edit and save the page it should appear on to force it to load immediately. I've fixed Banish Undead, and left Healing Burst to propagate. --Browncoat Jayson (talk) 17:44, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
- Ok next thing some skills need execution time, and some have fizzle chance but i don't want mess with templates (since creating new one is complicated for me) and right now there isn't any field for these 2 values. Last thing where or how You obtained that good quality icons because that from game are low resolution)
I renamed/moved the page 'Attunement with Earth' to 'Earth Attunement' to reflect ingame name & so the Gems bonus1 (need to rename the decriptions in the Gem pages too :/) field link would work but then lost the icon. Reverted but icon still not showing due to name change. Found icon name so I added it in the infobox but it's still not showing up.--Isycle (talk) 22:44, 25 Mar 2016 (EST)
Redirects
Just wanted to keep track of these:

Thank you! --Auri (talk) 14:44, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
Request
Hello, if you are the wiki master of this site, I would like to have a random page link below the recent changes. --Auri (talk) 14:47, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
- Done! --Browncoat Jayson (talk) 14:55, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you for the extra help! Maybe add a sandbox link page below the random page, for the testing area for testing edits. I'd love to become someday an administrator on this wiki project. Let me know when you would like an extra helping hand! I suppose that this wiki is quiet and with less traffic, meaning that you don't have much vandalism to deal with. But if I was an administrator, I'd like to help with protected pages and delete unnecessary pages. Just to give you a heads up! For now, it is a bit too early to become one, so in the meantime, I'm going to do everything positive by raising this wiki to a much higher standard. Even now I know everything about wikis, including the administration and bureaucratic roles. I have even created my own wikis where I was the wiki mistress. I am even an admin on LibrePlanet. I'd also like this wiki in a brighter mode, not a dark one. I can't even see most of it. --Auri (talk) 14:57, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
- I'm kind of a lead admin, but we do have a bureaucratic group so its up to them to add folks to tiers. I don't know if they are looking for any new admins at this point, since we don't have a lot of activity.
- We probably won't be changing the mode on the wiki, as we are trying to adhere closely to the actual SotA website/forum look. If you'd prefer something lighter, you could modify your personal CSS to get the look you want. --Browncoat Jayson (talk) 16:45, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

Simplifying page
I don't just simplify pages, I also fix grammatical errors too. If there are no pages for me to fix grammar, I will still make an edit on it to space infoboxes. Every edit counts! --Auri (talk) 16:39, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
- As I said, if you have actual changes to make, feel free to space out the infobox as well. However, adding spaces alone provides no actual value to the page. We don't worry about post counts here. Thank you for understanding. --Browncoat Jayson (talk) 16:45, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
- Okay, to make things less awkward, I will only stick to grammatical errors. I will only simplify pages if they need grammar fixing. Probably, give me some pages that need more work. You know more about this wiki than I do, so please, feel free to teach me everything that I need to know. --Auri (talk) 16:49, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
