New Tableturf icons

Hey CodingAsteroid, I noticed you've been adding some of the new Tableturf card icons. Unfortunately, some of these are going to need to be deleted as they violate policy due to being currently unavailable in-game. The ones that are used by new opponents can stay since they are at least visible in-game even if unobtainable, but I'll be marking the other ones for deletion since we're still several days out from Fresh Season. Thank you! Driftin Soul [Talk!] 19:24, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi, @Driftin Soul, thanks for making me aware of this. Just a few questions: Can the card icons stay on the wiki as they have all been revealed in this tweet by @SplatoonNA: https://twitter.com/SplatoonNA/status/1759943534881144870? Also, when the fresh season starts, can your changes please be reverted? Thanks, @CodingAsteroid CodingAsteroid (talk) 16:15, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

In-game assets are not allowed unless they are specifically visible in-game, but the images of the cards as they appear in that tweet would be fine. We already have the Japanese versions, but you're welcome to upload the NA images as well (the file upload page can tell you how to obtain the highest quality images from Twitter, if you're not already aware). And yes, we can and definitely will be re-adding all of the icons and associated card info once Fresh Season properly starts, no worries there. :) Driftin Soul [Talk!] 02:13, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Driftin Soul, thanks for the clarification on the rules and I apologise for misinterpreting them. I have uploaded the NA images of the cards and they can be seen on the Fresh Season gallery. It's great to hear that the cards will be added back to the page when the season starts! Thanks for the advice, CodingAsteroid (talk) 16:13, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

Using Show Preview

Hi there! I noticed you've made a lot of edits to your userpage in a short span of time. When making a bunch of changes to a single page, please use the "Show Preview" button. This allows you to see what a page will look like before you publish the edit. Fewer, larger edits are much easier for both the site and staff to handle than a bunch of small edits. Thank you!!

Hi @FancyRat, thanks for the advice and i'll be sure to use it in the future. Just one question. Does this apply to my sandbox pages as well? Thanks, CodingAsteroid (talk) 14:49, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

Yes. And since all edits to pages by anyone who isn't at least autopatrolled are marked as unpatrolled by default, we have to review those manually. FancyRat 15:09, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

Oh ok, thanks for the info. I'll try to submit less edits with more info from now on. Thanks for all your info, CodingAsteroid (talk) 15:15, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

your recent contributions

Hello there. thank you for your recent contributions however i have recently notice some of your recent contributions are "incorrect" or "misplaced" and i would like to show your mistakes and how i edit them so you wont do them in the future, first of all the Schedule for the Same Ol' vs. Bucket List vs. Save the Day was incorrect as the Splatfest Sneak Peek are usally announced on Fridays not Saturdays i can understand why people misplace dates and stuff however if Splatfests where announced on Saturdays the splatfests would start on Fridays which can confuse people very easily, and the second thing is your recent contribution towards [[:File:S3 Player Creation.mp3]] when you marked it for deletion you did File:S3 Player Creation.mp3}} which is not how you would do it instead to add the files replace do this instead [[:File:S3 Player Creation.mp3]] <-- [[:file:]] and the name of the music/image you want, i once again thank you and apologies for this very long message!

Hi @Rūba, thanks for the correction on the Splatfest schedule. It was a mathematical error on my part so thank you for correcting it.

I'm a bit new here and when I was marking the page for deletion I could not figure out how to link to a file. The results I was getting were either a link to a page and not the file or the file itself. Thanks for the info on linking to a file which I will be make sure to use in the future.

Happy editing, CodingAsteroid (talk) 21:46, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

Your sig page

Ahoy, I have moved your sig page to your proper username for you; this should save you the trouble of having to recreate it and this way an admin won't have to step in to delete anything. Have fun! Driftin Soul [Talk!] 14:38, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Ah, thank you for moving the page. I was getting an error due to the lowercase 'a' in the title and thought it had to be deleted and recreated. Just looking at the User group rights page, it says that autoconfirmed users (which I am) can move pages. Can you please tell me how to do this so that I can do it on my own? Thank you and happy editing, CodingAsteroid [Talk!] 14:53, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

If you're on desktop you can simply scroll down the sidebar on the left to "Page tools" and then you should see the "Move" option, and on mobile I believe it's under the dropdown menu for the gear icon at the top of pages; in this case I elected to do it for you because patrollers like myself can suppress the creation of redirects when moving. Otherwise, an admin would have had to step in at some point regardless to delete the leftover redirect (which is generally perfectly fine and shouldn't be seen as a reason to not move pages, just in this specific case I happened to be around and noticed). Feel free to do it yourself in the future! Driftin Soul [Talk!] 14:59, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Thanks so much! I'll be sure to need it in the future. CodingAsteroid [Talk!] 15:02, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Recent audio uploads

Hello. Thank you for contributing to the MP3 reupload project! However, your recent uploads do not comply with the Audio guidelines. The file names should be prefixed with a game abbreviation, followed by the official name (only if there is one. Otherwise, use of a conjectural name is ok) and the bitrate should be a constant 160 kbps. Also, please only mark files for deletion once all the links to them have been replaced. I suggest looking over the music ripping guide, which gives detailed info on how to rip the audio from the game files in a way that complies with the guidelines. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks! Shdwdogg0 (Talk) 09:58, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Shdwdogg0, thanks for bringing this to my attention. For the naming, I chose to stick with the original name to try and keep consistancy. My apoligies if these names didn't meet the naming guidelines. What should I do to the files that have been misnamed or have the wrong kbps? Sorry for my mistakes, CodingAsteroid [Talk!] 11:03, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

No worries. You can move the incorrectly named file pages, then replace all the links with the new file name (make sure to mark the redirect page for deletion afterwards) and upload new versions of the files. Shdwdogg0 (Talk) 11:40, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

About deletions

Hey, when marking files for deletion, please make sure to use the "What links here" tool in the sidebar to be absolutely certain all links to a file have been fixed. In the case of the S3 tutorial .oga file you marked, it was still in use on three(!) pages because of the media loader, which doesn't show up in the standard file page usage list. Thank you!
