Once your image(s) are uploaded, navigate to the article you wish to place them on and paste the filename into the article. For example if you uploaded '''Bubble Bobble Floor 94.jpg''' you would paste '''<nowiki>[[Image:Bubble Bobble Floor 94.jpg|thumb|Insert description here]]</nowiki>''' Incidentally that kind of image would go in [[:Category:Screenshots]]. You can substitute ''thumb|Insert description here'' with ''left'' or ''right'' depending on which alignment you want.

::Thank you for not reading the guide I linked. You should name your images as: "GameName Description.extension". The description in the file name should be as minimal as possible. If the image is part of a series, for example a map, an icon, an item, etc. you can classify all similar images with a word that groups them together (for example, "ROSE Online Icon <icon name>.jpg".). The smallest name you should go with is just "ROSE Online <image>.jpg" (as I've added to the first parameter of the {{t|rename}} tag on all of your images that need renaming). Again, please read over [[StrategyWiki: | ::Thank you for not reading the guide I linked. You should name your images as: "GameName Description.extension".

:::It's been a while, but images still need to have categories. Make sure you add them when you upload them. Here is [[StrategyWiki:Images|the policy]], here is where applicable {{c|Images|categories}} reside, and [[:Image:MS Skill KoCMagic Claw.png|here]], [[:Image:MS Skill KoCPower Strike.png|here]], and [[:Image:MS Skill KoCSlash Blast.png|here]] are some of your images I've added categories to for reference.

If you want to go ahead and upload the skill icons you can, there should be a way for me to tweak the table code on southperry to match wiki's so I'll see about that. It's just one of those things I haven't had time to do yet.--[[User:IsaacGS|IsaacGS]] 17:34, 23 February 2009 (UTC) | |||
== Guide templates == | |||
Please don't use the {{t|stub}} template in different sections of a page. That template goes at the top of the page, above the {{t|Header Nav}} to signify that the page as a whole is a stub. You should be using the {{t|sect-stub}} template, which goes at the top of section, right below the '''<nowiki>==heading==</nowiki>'''. This template is for near-empty sections. To be honest, where you are mostly using it - to show incomplete lists - you really don't need any template at all. We all add to the wiki over time, so just complete the list when you can; it would be too time consuming to mark every piece of missing information with that level of specificity. If you merely want to indicate that the page is "under construction," you can put a {{t|wip}} template at the top of the page above the Header Nav to show that it's being worked on.

== Paragraphs == | |||
Hey, I notice that you often use a line break (press enter) in your text at places where it looks like you may be trying to start a new paragraph. If making a new paragraph is your intention, you can achieve this by using two line breaks, which leaves an empty line between the paragraphs. Maybe you already know this, but I thought I'd mention it just in case. :) - [[User:Najzere|<span style="color:#909090">najzere</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Najzere|<span style="color:#993300">T</span>]]</sup> 15:08, 22 April 2009 (UTC) | |||
==Image categorisation== | |||
When uploading images, please make sure to categorise them using the correct [[:Category:Images|image categories]] and the guide-specific category, i.e. '''<nowiki>[[</nowiki>Category:MapleStory skill images]]'''. The image policy is viewable [[StrategyWiki:Images|here]], and contains all the information you'll need to categorise future uploads. --[[User:Najzere|<span style="color:#909090">najzere</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Najzere|<span style="color:#993300">T</span>]]</sup> 15:35, 15 July 2009 (UTC) | |||
:This is the sixth time you've been asked to properly categorize your images. Any further violations of policy will result in a temporary ban. This is a very simple task that helps us keep 30,000+ images organized on the site. Please see [http://strategywiki.org/w/index.php?title=File%3AMS_Skill_Lightning_Sprite.png&diff=411564&oldid=411426 this diff] for an example of how to properly categorize. Thank you, — [[User:Najzere|<span style="color:#909090">najzere</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Najzere|<span style="color:#993300">T</span>]]</sup> 15:35, 15 July 2009 (UTC) | |||
== External links == | |||
External links are for information that is either out of scope of StrategyWiki, or just too much for us to cover. Sleepywood has a huge MapleStory community, Hidden-Street has tons of info, so we link to them. If you have a lot of info that isn't covered in one of the other links, then it's probably OK. Of course, it's better if we can cover all the information here :). -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|Talk]]) 19:04, 12 August 2009 (UTC) | |||
:Like Prod said, we would rather contain all information about the game on ''this'' site. If you're working on something on another wiki, there's absolutely no reason why we can't contain that information here. If your information was contained on an uneditable site, that would be one thing. But we're StrategyWiki. Why would we want to send our viewers to a competing wiki site?

::There are no problems with linking to websites from your own. We want more websites to do this, because it improves our rank in search results and may give us additional traffic. Also, just reply to messages in one thread (i.e. this one, or the one on Prod's page; all of the admins watch each others' talk pages). --{{User:Notmyhandle/Sig}} 02:13, 13 August 2009 (UTC) | |||
:::Additionally, I'm starting to add maps (town and surrounding areas) to the town pages, mostly to note NPC locations. Using <nowiki><gallery></nowiki> we should be able to come up with simple ways for people to look at them. --{{User:Notmyhandle/Sig}} 02:24, 13 August 2009 (UTC) | |||
