Formatting Errors - Bey Brad - Oct. 11, 2007

There are lots of formatting errors on the wiki right now. Basically, it seems every article not written by me has them. :\

Guys, PLEASE look over your work diligently before deciding it's finished. I will have to work on the errors tomorrow. Goodnight.

If it's not you, then that's just me then :p
On RSMS I just left an area for a gallery since there was one on OtC, but the pictures are gone on the archive so i might as well remove that section. The rest is probably just me, but when I get back from school I'll recheck whatever wasn't done by you.

Sorry, not trying to be a jerk, but it does kind of wreck the experience. ;;;

RE: Formatting Errors - G - Oct. 11, 2007

Question: how do you prevent the image of the Bey from stretching out like how it is with Bistool?

I'm gonna nap now and then work on the editing.

RE: Formatting Errors - Bey Brad - Oct. 12, 2007

You can make the image smaller by specifying a smaller width if you wish:

[[ImageEeexample.jpg|100px]]

I think this should work.

RE: Formatting Errors - G - Oct. 12, 2007

Ahh ok, thanks!
I'll get to it once again after I eat/do homework.

Can you try it out? I did it, but they kept changing to pictures of Bistool Uncertain

Edit: I got some more mistakes corrected, but I'll keep at it tomorrow.

I still can't do it in a TOC.

Ah, you know what it is? It has to be set in the template. So we need to decide what the max width should be. What do you think?

RE: Formatting Errors - Bey Brad - Oct. 12, 2007

I changed it to 200px; check it out.

RE: Formatting Errors - Bey Brad - Oct. 12, 2007

Changed template to 200 width, image to 150.

I'm not sure what you mean by the image stretching out though. :\

RE: Formatting Errors - G - Oct. 12, 2007

Here's what I meant:

The Draciel MS table goes down into the other section, but it was fixed with Galman and Dragoon V2.

RE: Formatting Errors - Bey Brad - Oct. 13, 2007

All that depends on the length of the contents, height of the image, etc ... do you really see this as a problem?

Hmm not really now that you mentioned it.

RE: Formatting Errors - Bey Brad - Oct. 15, 2007

I'm very new to wiki as I'm sure everyone else is. Interesting trick: to make the link to a page have different text than the page name ... EG, if I want the text "here" to go to "Bistool", type:

[[here|Bistool]]

I will be using this to clean up some of my messy formatting tomorrow. Unhappy

RE: Formatting Errors - G - Oct. 15, 2007

I've been using it a bit now actually Smile
That's how I'm able to redirect some links to specific parts on pages.

Yes, maybe we should do that from now on. Let's work on finalizing these sorts of decisions before making any more pages.

RE: Formatting Errors - G - Oct. 15, 2007

Was there anything in general that we should use that on aside form having wording redirect to pages? Like the [[Bistool]] to the Bistool page is still fine right?

RE: Formatting Errors - Bey Brad - Oct. 15, 2007

LOL, yes Smile

I think linking to individual parts is a good idea because we don't have to constantly preface it with the name of the Beyblade it comes from.

RE: Formatting Errors - G - Oct. 15, 2007

It'll be more work, but I'll see when I can get to it.

RE: Formatting Errors - Bey Brad - Oct. 15, 2007

Well, now that we know to do it, it will be easier for future articles Smile

RE: Formatting Errors - Bey Brad - Oct. 15, 2007

Hrm ... the problem with this idea is that linking to parts that haven't been made yet could be a pain. Maybe we should keep the current system. D:

I agree with that for now until we finish these ones up and get new ones.

Honestly, while linking to each part individually may seem OMG PRO, I don't see any practical benefit.
