Links to Icons on Tables

Great idea on adding the link tags to all the icons on the tables for all the crafting surfaces. Cdrras (talk) 09:56, 26 February 2013 (MST)

I thought it was needed, and I found out how from the MediaWiki "How To" guide. It's always nice to be able to reference what you find. Also placeholders for crafting surface versions. --McClaw (talk) 09:59, 26 February 2013 (MST)

Admin

You ought to consider throwing your name in to be an Admin. Unfortunately, I am not a Bureaucrat so I can't promote you, but since you are a major contributor, I believe it would benefit you to have the additional privileges. It makes things a lot easier at times. I think MintYogi is the only Bureaucrat (and I'm assuming what would be his Admin account), so if you are interested, I would throw your name into the section on the Main Page talk page and hopefully we will promote you whenever he is on again. Just a thought! Cdrras (talk) 10:11, 26 February 2013 (MST)

Cycling Gem Pickaxe Big

Gonna make it? Or is the page fine as it is now? --Abcboy (talk) 14:33, 30 April 2013 (MDT)

I can tolerate the page the way it is. Besides, I got my images from the pictures that show up in front of the Tool Bench when crafting. I haven't been able to get useful ones for the gem pickaxes off the portal. --McClaw (talk) 14:37, 30 April 2013 (MDT)

Another category

Category:Large item icons is sad. You haven't been putting images in it. --Abcboy (talk) 15:09, 25 October 2013 (MDT)

Heh. I've considered myself luck to remember putting any of them in categories! --McClaw (talk) 20:33, 25 October 2013 (MDT)

Tools

See here. It really is a mess. --Abcboy (talk) 23:54, 6 January 2014 (MST)

Also, have you looked at Help:Contents recently? I made some changes.

Also, some issues with levels. Levels are probably written at least three times in an article. Infobox, text thingy in Where Found, and in every Craft box. A flywheel is said to be crafted at a "Workbench Level 3", "workbench (of level 3)", and "Workbench Lvl 3" in each of those places. Other articles have things like "Lvl. 2 Press", "level 2 press", and "Lvl. 2 Press". Even bench naming is inconsistent. Should it be "Metalwork Bench (either)" in any of those places or just "Metalwork Bench" with its electric counterpart implied?

Should Tool be in Category:Tool (and more)? If so, how should it be put in? We can make it placed first by alphabetizing it with *. --Abcboy (talk) 08:13, 7 January 2014 (MST)

The "Tool" article probably should be in the category. --McClaw (talk) 08:31, 7 January 2014 (MST)

I've found a way to create the dyed item images without screenshotting each individually. See here. It takes me some time to do them still. --Abcboy (talk) 19:39, 7 January 2014 (MST)

They look good. I should dig out the images I stashed for things like that. --McClaw (talk) 07:46, 8 January 2014 (MST)

Look at the source for Template:Pigment. There's walls of code to automate a bunch of stuff. Those swatches on the pigment lists are all automated. --Abcboy (talk) 19:23, 8 January 2014 (MST)

Death

There are three ways I can think of to handle death:

• Have an article on "Death" and on the "Death Bar" (anything else better?)
• Have an article on "Death Bar" and redirect death there
• Have an article on "Death Star" an redirect both there
• Have an article on "Death" and redirect "Death Bar" there

I personally think option 1 is best, although there may be some repeated information. --Abcboy (talk) 21:56, 4 April 2014 (MDT)
