My failed attempt at cropping an image
I tried to upload an image of my monk (Ipo The Divine) and it didn't work out as planned, if some1 could delete or w/e i'd be grateful, still kinda clueless about how to do some things on wiki.
 * Ok. Here are the basics:

Yup. --Shadowcrest 20:12, 16 February 2008 (UTC) thanks for the info--Ipo 20:18, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Use asteriks (*) to make lists.
 * Type to flag a page for deletion. Only admins can delete things.
 * Type --~ to sign your comments. Alternatively, hit the [[Image:Button --[[User:Powersurge360|Powersurge360]] 23:31, 11 April 2008 (UTC)sig.png]] to insert your signature.
 * To make an internal link, surround it with 2 brackets. Like these. link
 * Use colons to indent things. The more colons, the farther you indent.
 * Try doing this: put :  before you post an answer. It will make sure you indent. It will look somewhat more proffesional. (not that i am a professional ;-) )Arnout aka The Emperors Angel 16:17, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
 * ok i'll start doing that, thanks--Ipo 16:21, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Your Latest Uploaded Image
Image:Monk.JPG is too generic of a filename. I posted on the images talk page, but figured I should post on your talk page too, just to make sure you are aware, and don't wonder what happened to your image. Re-uploading the image to a more specific name... Perhaps Ipo-monk.jpg. GW:IMAGE Aggro  Sk8  20:55, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Sig
Ok, i've created a "sig" (not too sure how well it's gonna turn out) and I was just wondering, how I would go about making it my current sig? i.e whenever I press the sig button when editing, it will be the sig I created. (sorry if it sounds a bit "newby" slow learner :P ) Any help is appreciated, here it is.  ∞ ∞ IPO ∞ ∞ 18:04, 12 May 2008 (UTC)


 * ok, i've tried going into preferences and adding my sig into the custom sig box, but whenever i press the sig button i get this --&#91;&#91;User:Ipo&#124;&#39;&#39;&#39;&lt;span style=&quot;color:black;&quot;&gt;∞ ∞&lt;span style=color:gold;&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;vivaldi&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&#39;&#39;&#39;IPO&#39;&#39;&#39;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;∞ ∞&#39;&#39;&#39;&#93;&#93; 18:57, 12 May 2008 (UTC), which of course isn't right, so if anyone could help me, it'd be greatly appreciated. ∞ ∞ IPO ∞ ∞ 18:57, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

 * As long as we are talking about sigs. Can someone get a list of the useable fonts? It seems that the only font the people are using is vivaldi.  一二三 <font face="vivaldi" size="3">JEANS 三二一  20:08, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Fonts
As mentioned 2 sections above, Character Map (in Accessories menu then System Tools in the Start Menu {for windows anyways} ) seems to have fonts that are usable for sigs and so, just in case anyone was wondering about extras fonts (too many Vivaldi sigs :P )  }{ <font face="Pristina" size="3">Ipo™ }{  11:41, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Image:Mask of the Mo Zing M gray back.jpg
Heya, really minor but any way you could get rid of the 3 little white pixels at the top of that pic? It looks like an anti-aliasing artifact and isn't a feature of the mask (not your fault, blame the gfx drivers) but it looks out of place when everything else is grayish on the pic Jennalee 03:44, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I would but im currently on holiday and wont be back for another 3 weeks, and I don't have that much free time. I highly doubt I will be able to do anything on here until I return. I can try to do something using paint or something else (using whatever is on this computer), but if not, maybe someone else could do it? If anyone does, thanks in advance.  }{ <font face="Pristina" size="3">Ipo™ }{  01:26, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Siggeh lol
Your sig is breaking text lining. By one pixel. Might be cause I don't have the Pristina font installed, so I get Times or something similar. Just a random thought I wanted to express. --- -- (s)talkpage  09:53, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Hmm, sorry im not a coding genius, wouldnt know how to sort. Took me a while to sort out the sig itself :P. Maybe change it back to vivaldi? (although that must be the most common font)  }{ <font face="Pristina" size="3">Ipo™ }{  09:56, 5 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Oh, no, don't worry about it. It's just cause my computer is missing all the normal fonts cause it's so ancient. It's fine for 99% of the world, so I say keep it like it is now :P Besides, Vivaldi will end up being the same for me, cause I don't have that either XD --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage  09:59, 5 August 2008 (UTC)


 * lol ok. Thank God I didnt have to change to vivaldi, too common for my liking :P. I apologise for breaking the text lining (well yours anyways :P)  }{ <font face="Pristina" size="3">Ipo™ }{  10:02, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Deldrimor armor template...
Uh... What are you doing? You know there's a piece of code on that page that gives an example and you can copy it and edit it and ... uh ... preview it to get the correctly named red image links without touching the actual template which screws up any Deldrimor page that happened to be viewed before you reverted the change? O_o RoseOfKali  19:15, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I apologise, as stated somewhere I am not a coding genius and I was trying to help. I screwed up several times and reverted the screw ups. Coding goes over my head, and I thought it was just a simple copy and paste job over the old/non-existant pics. Again I apologise and I wont bother with your project again.  }{ <font face="Pristina" size="3">Ipo™ }{  19:20, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
 * ^_^ Sorry if I came out harsh, it's no big deal, but whenever you edit something to simply copy it, do not save the changes, just close the page. And if you need to use a template again, every template page should have a Usage section that looks someting like this


 * Note: Include Note1, Note2, Alternateside, or Alternateside-dyed elements only if necessary.


 * Simply copy this part (straight up, no need to open the edit copy of it) and fill in the blanks as needed and you've got yourself a template. And if you're not using any fields (like Note1 and Note2 or Alternateside) simply delete those lines.  Then, when you hit "Show preview" instead of saving, you will see the page with red links in place of any missing images.  This way, you can click those links (I personally open them in a new window with a right click) and upload the image with the proper name before you even change the article.  Then when all images are uploaded, just hit Save page and it will all be there.
 * You should Never edit the template article itself: this will affect EVERY PAGE that uses that template. In order to use a template, go to the article where you want to use it, and paste and modify the template code there.
 * So, if you were trying to modify the Male Paragon Deldrimor armor article, go to Paragon Deldrimor armor/Male page and edit it. In there is where you need to paste the template code from above and change the names of the armor pieces appropriately.
 * For your information, that page already uses the template, and every armor template has VERY STRICT image names, it's perfect or it will not be accepted, so it's best to just click the red link of the image to upload it and that way it will show up for sure. The side image you made looks great, and if you want to make any others, simply click the red links to upload them.  If there is already an image in there but you have a better one, just click that image and upload a new version of it.  This is the only way to make it show up in the template, you CANNOT edit the template to make it accept an incorrectly named image.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.jpg]] 21:09, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I just uploaded the images you had with the proper name. Take a look ;) Paragon Deldrimor armor.  They look different sizes because the have a different ratio of height to width.  For best results, make sure that they are the same size in pixels before uploading next time.  And to post an image, you should never need to change any code if it's a part of a template, the red link is there for you, same with the feature that lets you upload a new version of an image, like I did with the gray front picture.  Click on it and you can see the old one and the new one, by dates.  Do not get discouraged, we need all the help we can get with these images, and if you have a question, just ask, someone will help you out.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.jpg]] 21:20, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, I just resized them all to be 180x440 pixels, so they look the same now. :) Let me know if you need help with anything ever. ;)  Sorry for my big long rant on template use, I wasn't sure what you were trying to do at first.  But somewhere in this long garbage of text should be the answer to why you were having a problem, if not, bug me again and I'll do my best to explain.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.jpg]] 21:32, 6 August 2008 (UTC)


 * hmm, ok, I kinda understand what your getting at. Thanks for fixing my screw up. Somehow it was easier uploading and editing the Mask of the Mo Zing male gallery (no idea how I did it, was a while back). If you need a model for the separate pieces and/or dyed armor, I'm nearly always available. I will post on the project page what armor I can model for (I can take pictures myself etc, but i'd rather not after this screw up :P). Again, thanks for clearing up my mess.  }{ <font face="Pristina" size="3">Ipo™ }{  13:36, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I think you did a pretty good job with the ones you did. Your mistake was adding the number 2 to the image names.  You only need to watch for two things.  1) Make sure that all the images are the same size relative to each other, so that when they go into the template, they will look the same, because the template always makes them 125px wide for the gallery.  Somewhere around 200x500 is a good range for a zoomed in image. 2) Do not upload the images with a name that you created.  Go to the armor page of the Gender you are doing and use the template if it's not already there.  Then, upload the images over the links that were created for you by the template.  That's all there is to it.  If you know how to tag old orphaned images for deletiong, great, do it.  If you have no clue what I just said, just let us know which gallery you changed and we'll do it for you.  Looking forward to seeing more of your work. ;)  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.jpg]] 18:06, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I added the 2 to the front image as I didnt want to replace the previous image, in case I ruined some more things :P. I also copy and pasted the image name (previous red link) onto my pic name, but i ruined the whole front/back images by naming them wrong (no idea how it happened :S). I have some previous minor experience in updating armor galleries (see mask of the mo zing male) but this armor gallery ran rings around me :P. Again thanks for your help, you have been very understanding :P.  }{ <font face="Pristina" size="3">Ipo™ }{  20:44, 7 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Don't worry too much about "replacing" an image - the wiki archives old versions of images (for an extreme example: Image:Jora.jpg), and it's very easy to revert to one of the old versions if you somehow mess something up. &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 23:33, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * So just naming the pic the exact name on the gallery would avoid the need 2 mess with coding/templates etc. correct?  }{ <font face="Pristina" size="3">Ipo™ }{  23:35, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, almost. If the link in the gallery is red, then yes, upload an image with that name and it will appear there.  If there already is an image there but you have a better one, you have to replace the old one.  Easiest way is to click the old image and scroll down to where there's a link saying "Upload a new version of this file."  Click that and follow the instructions.  Good luck, and keep asking those questions. ;)  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.jpg]] 03:33, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
