Those will increase my upload count by over 4000.

Luna, all monster images are available at the original Fiesta site and you need to view source to get the image locations. I would advise against uploading custome screenshot extractions due to quality differences and variability.

Like Triumph likes to point out... Wiki Admins don't tend to do menial labour. I won't be filling in every single red monster link when the information can be found on separate pages anyway~ Those pages are for completeness, really.

Also Luna someone will be replacing the pages you made, because they do not conform. Help:editing has a section on how these pages should look, and the reason they should is to facilitate easier searching and a greater degree of cross-referencing.

Templates are templates. When many pages share the same template, you can make changes to all of the pages by making changes in just the template. You can easily see why they are used - take for instance the Quest List, with so many tables. You only need to modify one template to change the layout of all those tables. To see which template(s) are used, click Edit and scroll to the bottom of the page. Be careful when editing templates because they affect many pages.

Image format varies. PNG is okay if you export it nicely to give a small size; GIF is best for smaller icons because they have the smallest filesizes and an exact colour template; JPEG works well on larger images. The reason most icons are in PNG rather than GIF (despite GIF format giving a filesize smaller in size by about 400 bytes) is because the source from MaxOff are in PNG. The important thing is to prefix your files! Having a preceding tag like Item- or NPC- or Monster- makes them a lot easier to search for (Search -> namespace=Image). Otherwise your uploaded image may just disappear into oblivion.

If you need any specific help with wiki stuff, create a new section on my user talk page or make a post in the Help:editing thread.
