Hi Dan, plz have a look on Potion of experience and find out why File:SampleScreenForPotionOfExperience.jpg that I just uploaded won't appear. -- Bwijn 15:35, 21 February 2013 (CET)

The image is showing up on my screen, but as a thumbnail. The image link you're using includes, "|thumb=SampleScreenForPotionOfExperience-thumbnail.jpg"; if you remove that, it should show up at full size.

Oops, I forgot about emptying the page cache. - Do you know crawl wiki image parameters to increase the size of the SampleScreenPic without blowing it up to full size? It should be readable. It's too tiny now. -- Bwijn 16:27, 21 February 2013 (CET)

I'm honestly pretty clueless about that sort of thing : / I'd suggest looking for another page that does a similar thing and stealing the code from that, or possibly asking CommanderC. He's got a much better grasp of the technical stuff than I do. --MoogleDan 16:34, 21 February 2013 (CET)

Deleting Pages

Hey Dan, I was wondering how to delete pages. I recently merged the Breathe Frost (and other elements) pages into Draconian breath attacks, and removed all text on the old pages, thinking that would delete them. Apparently, it didn't :P PS. I looked for it in the help section, but the page (like many other help pages) doesn't seem to exist. Are all those pages planned? I'd be fine with writing some of them --Lokkij 21:43, 8 April 2013 (CEST)

Only admins can permanently delete pages. If you want a page to be deleted, you can put Template:Delete on the page to mark it for deletion. MoogleDan or one of the other admins will then delete it when they come around. Often, however, pages that are merged and candidates for deletion are good candidates for redirects. For example Breathe Frost would be a good candidate for being redirected to Draconian breath attacks.

As for the help sections, they are somewhere on the new or old wiki but they haven't been updated in a while. You can definitely work on those pages if you like! --Flun 21:49, 8 April 2013 (CEST)

To prevent people from vandalizing the place too badly, we restrict deletion rights to the site admins. If you'd like to suggest the deletion of a page, just put a { {delete} } on the page (without the extra spaces) and we'll look into taking it down. One recommendation I have for this situation is that, instead of deleting the pages, we make them into redirects. That way, someone looking for an ability under its actual name won't find a dead end. We do delete things occasionally, but redirects are almost always the best approach.

As for the page you made, that looks like a good start, and much more useful than the pretty blatantly incorrect stub pages you're replacing :P I'd suggest adding the flavour text and tile icon next to each one, and damage details would be useful, but aside from that it's a solid arrangement. --MoogleDan 21:53, 8 April 2013 (CEST)
