Welcome[edit]
Hi, welcome to the wiki! Thanks for helping out with some of the new achievement articles! Just a couple of tips:
- Use
{{The Icebrood Saga Content}}
instead of[[Category:The Icebrood Saga content]]
to make the Living World icon appear in the top right corner in addition to adding it to the category. - Achievements that can only be completed during missions will usually get their walkthrough on the mission article, rather than getting their own dedicated article. We do sometimes make exceptions for big or complicated ones, as I see you've done for Raven Lens Scholar, but be aware there's a chance your work may get moved to Silence (story) instead!
Let me know if you still have any questions, and thanks again! :) —Idris 22:17, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
- Thank you! That was my first page and my first edits so I'm still learning the ropes :) I mainly tried to copy formats from other pages. The achievement box piece of code wouldn't work for some reason. —ZoaLerah 1:36, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
- Copying other pages is a great way to learn, so thanks for plunging in! As for the achievement box -- I assume the problem was getting it to link to the correct page? Another editor fixed that for you, you can see what they did here. :) (By the way, another thing I've noticed: you uploaded a couple of images as png, but we prefer that screenshots be uploaded as jpg, as they're much smaller files. I've already converted them to the proper format for you.) —Idris 02:11, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
- Great, thanks! Yeah my screenshot took saves as png by default. I think I caught it on one of the others I uploaded. The achievement box just wouldn’t show up at all. On all the other pages it was just “achievement box” between two sets of curly brackets, but when I did it on my page, it just showed a tiny empty blue square about 10 px by 10px. How do you get the UTC time to show up when replying? I just manually looked up the time in the previous reply and typed it. - ZoaLerah
- Ah, I see. When you use the {{achievement box}} template, it expects to find a
"name"(renamed to unnamed parameter 1 - Edit by Tolkyria (talk)) parameter, which tells it which achievement to display. By default, it uses the name of the page it's being displayed on, but you can also specify a name by adding the parameter in manually, i.e.{{achievement box|Raven Lens Scholar}}
. This is one way of fixing problems with the box displaying as a tiny square. Another reason why it might display as a tiny square is because the achievement simply hasn't been added to the wiki yet, so the template has no idea what to display! In that case, you'll want to check the achievement category page, in this case Whisper in the Dark (achievements), to see if it's been added. - As for UTC time: You can type four tildes (
~~~~
) to sign your comments with a timestamp. We have a help article that goes into more detail on signatures. :) —Idris 02:35, 22 November 2019 (UTC)- Hmmm, I tried that and it still hadn’t worked. And the achievement is on the main achievement page. Ok thank you! -ZoaLerah Zoalerah (talk) 02:57, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
- For what it's worth, the achievement box was displaying perfectly well on my end. It's possible you were just having cache issues? In those cases, just refresh the page -- there's a "refresh" button at the top, and you can also click on the clock for a heavy-duty reset if it's being extra stubborn. —Idris 03:01, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

Lunar-Enchanted Prowler Gloves images[edit]
Hey, I deleted your two uploads for Lunar-Enchanted Prowler Gloves. They have been replaced with File:Lunar-Enchanted Prowler Gloves.jpg which shows them without other armor worn. —Kvothe (talk) 21:20, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
