Editing with lots of text removed
I was trying to rewrite a lot of things in the currently awfully written Wilderness/Survival guide article, but after trying to publish my edit it gave me an error message that asked me to post here due to a large amount of removed text. How do I get it fixed now? I'm really new to the wiki and all so I'm not sure how this all works. Mariatrix (talk) 09:40, September 5, 2016 (UTC)


 * I've added your changes in, unfortunately they were caught by a tool we use to prevent spam and vandalism which is normally good at catching vandals, but sadly less good at differentiating between good edits and bad. It seems to have triggered for you due to you having fewer than 15 edits, which is normally a relatively safe benchmark.
 * Putting the issues to one side, thank you very much for taking the time to make those changes! I look forward to seeing more of the same :)


 * I've also tweaked the checks to prevent this particular type of error from happening again.


 * Thank you. :3
 * There's still a lot to improve in the article but I'll be doing my best to fix the rest of the parts that still need to be rewritten.
 * If there are any similar articles with badly written, outdated information, I'll gladly work on those as well.

Deletion
99.99% sure :File:Checker-16x16.png can be deleted now. As far as I can tell, it's no longer part of any interface. 18:12, May 16, 2016 (UTC)
 * Okay, #yoloing it hardcore and deleted it. 18:15, May 16, 2016 (UTC)

New Monobook Wordmark
When people don't believe 150px is the max size: http://i68.tinypic.com/2edrztw.png -- 02:53, June 10, 2016 (UTC)
 * I pretty clearly addressed that issue: "It will be slightly cut off on desktop because it's larger than the standard Monobook sidebar, but it can easily be resized or replaced with CSS." -- 04:00, June 10, 2016 (UTC)
 * You all are the CSS wizards. Cook something up! 04:44, June 10, 2016 (UTC)
 * So permanently setting the logo to [[File:Monobook logo.png]] is the unilateral interpretation of Forum:Mono 👻 k_icon? I don't recall that as one of the options. It still looks like a broken implementation to me. Also, on Special: pages, using site css or js doesn't work. It's got to be Wiki.png. -- 18:50, June 10, 2016 (UTC)
 * In what way is it a broken implementation? There is no such limitation on site css or js. The reason auto-refresh works in recentchanges is because of the AjaxRC script. -- 19:22, June 10, 2016 (UTC)
 * The forum result was http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/iiiiiii/images/b/bc/Wiki.png, or at least something that looks like it, not [[File:Monobook logo.png]]. Also see [ Special:Preferences]. -- 19:46, June 10, 2016 (UTC)
 * I didn't explain myself fully in the forum, which is my fault – I meant the logo with the background to be for mobile, and for the Monobook logo on desktop to match File:Wiki-wordmark.png, the Oasis logo.
 * For all intents and purposes, the logo is overridden on articles and Special pages. Do you frequently browse Special:Preferences? -- 02:13, June 11, 2016 (UTC)
 * I think you're retconning quite a bit. The proposal was to update the Monobook logo only. There was only one image proposed. -- 20:46, June 13, 2016 (UTC)

Adding to Charms log marked as possible vandalism
As you can see in my recent contributions, my two charm log additions have been marked as possible vandalism. As I completely stand behind the figure I entered, I feel like they should be added to the charm log. It started with the Bloodvelds, and thinking it was a glitch, I did not post my charm log for the next few Slayer tasks until Black Demons. I think it is safe to say that whatever bot you use for this is a bit overreacting.

Cross my heart that I am not lying :^)

Greetings,
 * A possible vandalism warning is exactly that - possible. Your contribution was still added to the charm log, but just to be safe we logged it on the RS:CVU too. 22:36, June 30, 2016 (UTC)

Uploading a custom signature image
I would like to upload a small image (PNG / 3.46kB / 171x28px) to use as a signature, comparable to my established one. As far as I know, external images are not compatible with ImageMap coding. So either I would like to upload this small image, or someone can tell me how to use external images with ImageMap.

The ImageMap coding I wish to implement:

The signature image: http://i.imgur.com/CDSpE7n.png

Greetings,
 * Split the images up and put them in your signature separately. Example:

http://i.imgur.com/somecode http://i.imgur.com/othercode etc. Since Imgur links are automatically embedded, this should show the images you want and link to the correct pages. 22:39, June 30, 2016 (UTC)

Slight issue on halberd pages
When I was changing some templates over yesterday, I noticed something on all of the halberd pages. Bronze halberd, for example. There's a redlink under the bonuses infobox, "Cetegory:Halberds". It's on all pages with "|type = halberd" except, the Exquisite halberd (that seems to have a separate issue, shared with other multi-tiered weapons like shark fist, in that certain attributes shared by all levels, such as type and range, don't show up at all).

It's definitely the type parameter that's causing it, but as I don't know how to edit that infobox any more, I can't fix it. 12:12, August 12, 2016 (UTC)
 * The "cetegory"-typo has been fixed. But I haven't looked at the other one yet. 12:34, August 12, 2016 (UTC)
 * Fixed switchfo bonuses 14:00, August 12, 2016 (UTC)

Cadavaberry parasol
The price for Exchange:Cadavaberry_parasol does not appear to be working. 08:05, August 26, 2016 (UTC)
 * I just updated the price manually. The Exchange page is working, the price just isn't being automatically updated by User:TyBot for whatever reason, so I've asked User:TyA to take a look. -- 16:47, August 26, 2016 (UTC)

"Offensive Language" block
Flippers McGraw has dialogue for Transcript:Bosun Higgs when on Whale's Maw. I'm however not allowed to make the edit as Flippers uses the word "sexy". I need an administrator to make the edit for me:

===Whale's Maw=== Thanks — Heaven Sent (talk) 17:04, September 18, 2016 (UTC)
 * Bosun Higgs: Well, this place is a dump.
 * Player: Why, what's wrong with it?
 * Bosun Higgs: There's nothing here [sic]it's just the world's saddest beach resort, scattered with a few shipwrecks, a few stupid turtles and some lecherous fishermen.
 * Navigator Jemi: Yeah, they make me uncomfortable too.
 * Quartermaster Gully: Urgh, tell me about it.
 * Bosun Higgs: It's taking everything I've got not to stab their eyes out.
 * (If Head of the Family has been completed:)
 * Lookout Ekahi: Eye, me too. It's not nice to stare.
 * (If Flippers McGraw has joined the crew:)
 * Flippers McGraw: Well, I like it! It makes me feel sexy.
 * Flippers is not allowed to be sexy, obviously. Regardless, Coel made the edit. 21:57, September 18, 2016 (UTC)

24 Oct 2016 color scheme
Idk where to put this complaint so ill put it here till some admin yells at me.

yesterday (10/23/16) the website was normal with white backgrounds and black words. all of a sudden today (10/24/16) the site was changed and now people who are colorblind or have other issues, can no longer read anything on the site.

the new color scheme needs to be changed a bit as pages are hard to read now and it is harder to see links without hovering the mouse over them. I understand making it more colorful, but I suggest only having the side banners be the new color scheme while reverting the actual pages to the normal white background, black words.

if you want to keep the purple pages, i suggest a different font color than white, as white is hard to read on a light colored background. or have an option to change background colors (so that people can either keep the dark color or go back to old colors)

you admins can delete this if it is in the wrong place. or move it to the proper place. don't really care as long as an admin sees this and knows that there is a problem.


 * I'm not color-blind, and I think Oasis is pretty unreadable now. It doesn't affect me too much, because thankfully it hasn't been applied to Monobook. I believe this change was in response to a survey in which apparently many people expressed a desire for a dark theme, calling dark text on a light background "boring." As much as I utterly despise the implementation of gadgets at Wikia, I think it would be better to make it a gadget, so it can be turned off. Or better yet, make it a gadget that is off by default. If people really want it, they can opt in. -- 21:44, October 24, 2016 (UTC)
 * Agreed, I've seen lots of people complain about this, even pm'ing me about it in-game. 22:11, October 24, 2016 (UTC)
 * To calm the masses about someone thinking Saftzie's comment is correct, this is the Halloween theme for this year. Feedback has been heard and some changes have been made. 03:12, October 25, 2016 (UTC)
