If you want to upload a picture, there's a "upload files" link on the left under "toolbox"

then u go into the page and insert an image tag:

[[Image:xxxx.jpg]]

xxxx.jpg being the name of ur file



Btw I think Icy has a template for monster infos... looks something like this:


Templates are used so we just have to enter the information and the formats are all set up... Might need to get Icy to confirm that.. I hvnt really been working on Monster infos.

About this if you would refer to previous post, please use a prefix that matches what you are uploading and if possible upload in .png format

It was just a random example..

but OK... i'll keep in mind to use png (i often use png myself anyway)

Ahh.. Advance search.. wat i've been looking for... thanks!

btw i remember someone had a zip file with all the pictures / icons of fiesta.. has that all bee uploaded? (Is that wat Triumph means by Icy's uploading contribution?)

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.
