To make a long story short, we need this article and the images on the CWCipedia page. Srsly. --Champthom 11:53, 1 December 2009 (CET)

* I couldn't get up the 'revamps' of S&R and Bubbles, which have refused to be compressed (for me at least). I've tried my usual compression tool and some others, but it says that the file is corrupt. Other than that, all the others are there.
All the best --Elke 20:31, 1 December 2009 (CET)

Offtopic

Champthom, or someone else with experience concerning this wiki. I want your opinion and, if possible, advice. I'll delete this post after you reply.

I categorized ~75% of fan art pics in Category:Fanart. That is, I created several sub-categories, for each of the characters appearing in the fanart pics. Imo, this will make browsing fanart much easier, and you can quickly view all fanart of your "favorite" character. It may help when you want to add a fanart of, e.g., Rosechu to an article, so you just go into Category:Rosechu, and view all pics with Rosechu. Or maybe you just want to marvel at how various different artists have raped pictured Rosechu.

Anyway. A huge pain in the ass is when someone would upload a pic of, e.g., Mary Lee Walsh and Rosechu, and add only Category:Rosechu. The pic then won't show in the Category:Mary Lee Walsh gallery. And it would be a royal pain to actually find such partially categorized pics, since they would be scattered among 95% properly categorized pics with no way to determine them, besides just clicking on all pictures.

I prepared a protip with the following text:

PROTIP:

1. If you upload a fanart, add categories to it, for each pictured character (e.g., [ [Category:Rosechu] ], etc).

2. If you don't feel like adding all those categories, just add [ [Category:Fan art] ].

3. If you feel like adding these categories, please add categories for all pictured characters, not missing anyone.

4. If a category for some character doesn't exist (shows up as red), create it. Otherwise, just add [ [Category:Fan art] ], and don't bother. I'll categorize them myself, later.

5. Please, don't just, e.g., add a category for one of several pictured characters, and leave it at that. It's a royal pain in the ass to find such partially categorized pics later, lost in some characters' categories, among 95% properly categorized pics.

Thanks :)

I'd like to ask: could you maybe advise a place on this wiki, where I could post it, and people would actually read it? Yeah, I'm being a hueg nerd, I know, but would be grateful for any reply --GokuGetEm 23:11, 1 December 2009 (CET)

pic size

I noticed that a lot of the pics are quite small. Like, too small to open up the thumbnail. In particular, Sonichubetterthancanon.jpg is no bigger than its thumbnail, so it's impossible to read the writing on the pic. Is there any way the files can be resized?
