Welcome

If you're cleaning up and expanding articles, removing inconsistencies, and other positive things for the wiki, I for one don't care how often your name appears on the updates. --McClaw (talk) 09:02, 16 April 2013 (MDT)

40-pixel images

Ouch! And here I thought I was doing a good thing when I discovered I could get larger images of blocks and storage slots off my iPhone 5. --McClaw (talk) 08:26, 21 April 2013 (MDT)

Generally, the quality is still the same. All except for blocks. Blocks, I believe are actually displayed with higher resolution on those devices. Can you imagine how large an iPad 3/4 would give you? --Abcboy (talk) 17:37, 21 April 2013 (MDT)

Well, non-slots (placed blocks and such) don't have the 40px limit anyway. And I can get those up to 160px off an iPhone 5. (My iPad is a 1, but good for broad views.) Let me see what I can do about the icons you're missing/have trouble getting. (I believe I can arrange for 40px versions of all of them on your list tonight except "Workbench" because it has two levels.) Although I'll be offering them as PNG, not JPG. There seems to be an issue with the dark edges with JPGs. --McClaw (talk) 21:49, 21 April 2013 (MDT)

Icons loaded and tacked to your list so you can place them as you wish. "Workbench" is "Workbench 1 Icon" because that's what's on the Portal crafting menu, but we might want to do some animated icons for items that have multiple forms like that. --McClaw (talk) 08:32, 22 April 2013 (MDT)

The list is actually for items with jpeg images that should be pngs, so no worries! (jpgs leave artifacts and other distortions on images. Not good.) Go ahead and get those 160px ones and upload those over the icon bigs I uploaded yesterday. If/When you have time, can you get icons for all the upgraded benches? I'll finish up everything when I get home/have time. --Abcboy (talk) 12:06, 22 April 2013 (MDT)

(We may be talking past each other a bit.) I can get inventory slots and menu icons at up to 80px, some of which you've already replaced with 40px for non-color reasons (such as Shark Jaw Icon.png.) The 160px is for blocks on the main display. I might be able to do better with a "camera," now that I know how to use one. But I'll see what I can do. --McClaw (talk) 12:37, 22 April 2013 (MDT)

Oh, so that's what you meant. Anyway, all inventory slots and menu icon icons could be at 80px; it shouldn't take too long, since all besides the blocks (which are already uploaded at File:(block name) Icon Big.png) are able to be scaled up without a loss of quality. The original block images should just be uploaded over with the big ones and the current big ones marked for deletion. --Abcboy (talk) 14:42, 22 April 2013 (MDT)

I got a "back wall" window at almost 300px using the camera on an iPad 1. Getting upgraded block faces would seem an interesting project. With images already in use, I'm not going to rush putting larger ones out, though. --McClaw (talk) 15:17, 22 April 2013 (MDT)

re: Very opinionated doesn't belong in a wiki.

I concede that I should have worded it differently to sound less opinionated but I have done the math and the information I posted was my logical conclusion.

I understand. Can you post here why the effort and materials are not worth the time? Also, please sign your posts using ~~~~. --Abcboy (talk) 14:41, 31 May 2013 (MDT)

Japanese version

But is suddenly, Can I make a Japanese version of the page in this wiki?

For example:Main_Page→Main_Page/ja

I am happy if you can consider. - Barrel0116 (talk) 03:23, 21 January 2014 (MST)

Who is the audience? Is it for Japanese people to navigate easier around the wiki? There are also ways to set up wiki-families. (link, partially in Japanese) I think a wiki family would serve our purposes best. Also, who are you on the Blockheads Japan Wiki? --Abcboy (talk) 08:38, 21 January 2014 (MST)

Can I make a Interlanguage links and This Wiki? - Barrel0116 (talk) 23:50, 21 February 2014 (MST)

I can't do that, you'll have to ask MintYogi. --Abcboy (talk) 10:25, 22 February 2014 (MST)

Can we get permission for this image?

In an online article, this image was used to depict a section of a typical world. It would probably be appropriate in this wiki for both the world and cave pages. Who might we need to get permission from? --McClaw (talk) 08:36, 25 February 2014 (MST)

The blog post's author is David Frampton, aka the developer of The Blockheads. --Abcboy (talk) 14:23, 25 February 2014 (MST)
