From The Cutting Room Floor

Hi! You shouldn't be building the pages piece-by-piece like you were doing before — the administrators thought you were going to keep the page as a stub and deleted it. Use the Preview feature if you need to work slowly. Also be sure to use descriptive filenames that include the game's name when you upload files. Thanks for contributing! - Andlabs 00:28, 21 June 2011 (EDT)

Just to clarify: you don't have to put everything that could possibly be hidden up right away; just what you know at the time you want to create the article with some hidden stuff — you can always go back and add more discoveries later. - Andlabs 00:49, 21 June 2011 (EDT)

Image file names.

Make sure to give some indication to the game that you're putting the stuff up for. Stuff like "Unused Statue.png" could easily apply to two or more games and therefore, it causes conflicts. Thanks! -- Rick 02:00, 28 June 2011 (EDT)

Ya, you're right. I should be more careful about naming files. By the way, how do I delete images if I upload them? I uploaded a picture called Ralph Oracle of Seasons.png and then afterwards realized it wasn't unused content. Thanks

Put {{delete}} in the description. -Mammal Sauce 11:34, 28 June 2011 (EDT)

Links

Hi. I noticed your edits to The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons, and just wanted to point this out – when making links to another page, just put the page title. It should be [[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages]], with an optional |(title)]] after the article name. If you put the full page address, it looks like an external link. Further, there's no reason to make so many links to the same article; just two or three will suffice. -WarioBarker 00:55, 14 July 2011 (EDT)

Ok. Sorry about that. I will keep this in mind in the future. -Cuber456 1:12, 14 July 2011 (EDT)

Something I forgot to mention

I can't believe I forgot to say this, but the japanese word for winter (fuyu) can also be romanized as 'huyu', probably because the developers are using the Kunrei-shiki romanization. I am legitimately sorry about this. --From: divingkataetheweirdo 19:29, 27 July 2011 (EDT)

Don't worry about it, really :). Whether the first letter is H or F doesn't matter too much. I tried my best to search for any placeholder map in Oracle of Seasons besides the ones listed on its page and haven't found anything. I just wanted to know what letter would be on the winter placeholder map, if it existed(or still exists), so I could easily identify it and throw it up onto the page in one swoop. Thanks for the concern. --Cuber456 20:00, 27 July 2011 (EDT)

About animations

I don't think pngs do animations, so if you are gonna save as a GIF, make sure it's with a more advanced application that won't screw up the resolution. I made the mistake of saving as a GIF in Paint once.

There are at least two animated PNG formats (MNG and APNG), but support for both is spotty at best. Just use GIF if no single frame exceeds 256 colors. --BMF54123 17:27, 27 January 2012 (EST)

Ah, that makes sense then. YourBuddyBill 17:32, 27 January 2012 (EST)

It's funny... this was the first time uploading an APNG and from the amount of trouble I am having trying to get it to display right, this will be my last time. Every time I try to create the APNG it seems to save wrong and has stuff that wasn't there when I originally saved it. I am going to upload this as a new animated GIF instead since it seems to be saving correctly in that format. BMF54123, I request that you delete the file called "TMC_Gina_unused_full_animation.png". I won't be using it and it is a mess. --Cuber456 17:45, 27 January 2012 (EST)
