User talk:Cirocco

Jump to navigationJump to search

Hello there, and welcome to the wiki. :) Just ask if you need help with anything. For starters there's Help:Contents, under which most editing and formatting guides are, and GW2W:PP which contains some general guidelines of wiki practices, such as deletion and administration. So if you're into reading you can start from there. Mediggo 11:28, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

Much obliged. Now I have some reading material when things are boring at work :p Cirocco 11:52, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
I know, right? I wonder if we ever get any good toilet reading actual policies here, like in GWW... Mediggo 12:24, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

You might enjoy this. An welcome to the wiki! --Moto Saxon 14:50, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

Thank you. I've seen your deduction (and many others) of our mysterious purple themed caster profession already. I've been active on the wiki for a long time but I simply couldn't be bothered to make a profile until now. But thanks for the link anyways :-) Cirocco 14:54, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

Need some help[edit]

Can someone drop me a link to the image use policy? can't seem to find it right away and I'd like to know what rules I need to abide by before uploading. Cirocco 20:11, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

For general user images, they need to follow a simple naming policy; User <your username> <file name> .<extension>. An example would be "User Cirocco signature.jpg".
As well as a naming policy, please tag your images (in the summary) with {{user image|<your username>}}, in your case {{user image|Cirocco}}.
The images themselves may not be breaking any copyright, obviously.
I hope this helps sufficiently, but in the event it did not, you can read more here. - Infinite - talk 20:41, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
Awesome, thanks Infi. Cirocco 20:58, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

You can also do this (examine code, just thought you'd be interested)[edit]

oooh, that's handy to know. Thanks Mediggo. Cirocco 11:31, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

Oooh, shiny[edit]

Those two background story pieces you've conjured so far are great. Not overwhelmingly detailed, perfectly understandable English and very interesting, realistic characters which are stereotypical in the right way. What you wrote about the elements didn't seem one bit made up just to make them comparable with water, and I had no difficulty imagining Haxx in those dark corridors. I demand more! But there seems to be a problem with your character page, which is wiki menu and navigation sidebar and links shrinking. Article content is not supposed to affect those elements, and I suppose it is caused by those expandable tables you've been using to include your characters. Mediggo 11:24, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

Thank you and yes, I see the problem now as well... I'm a complete and utter n00b when it comes to wiki code, so I might be doing things wrong. Perhaps not a bad idea if I just use links again like before. That might solve the shrinking. Cirocco 12:32, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
It's definitely caused by the tables, but I don't know why nor how to fix it. I'm pretty bad when it comes to the code as well. Mediggo 12:41, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

A sugar-and-rainbows necromancer. How delightful. :3 Mediggo 08:58, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
