Merchandise/Action Figures Images
I will be uploading some higher res images of some of the figures we have already, seen here, and even completing some of the sets. I was thinking about removing the backgrounds of the images I took to help them stand out more, but noticed that no other figure picture we have has this done.

So to sum things up, I'm curious to know if removing the backgrounds is a desired effect or not, before putting the work into doing so. Pixel 13:24, 23 June 2013 (ADT)


 * I'd say it's especially desired since the background is totally irrelevant. No one needs to see what kind of desks people have. :P


 * It's obviously harder to render real-life photographs, so I think that's why it hasn't been done. Yeah, I'd say it's desired, as long as it's done properly. But look who I'm talking to, haha! 17:57, 23 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much for the compliment. :) I'll start on those shortly, and hopefully everyone likes them.


 * On a side note, you wouldn't be seeing what desk I have. I put white pieces of paper in the background so they would be easier to remove, and created a cheap light box effect in the process. ;) Pixel 15:44, 23 June 2013 (ADT)

Page logs
I noticed that the "Page Logs" in the toolbox that appears on the left of a page doesn't function properly. Zeldafan1982 14:10, 8 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Should be working now. You'll probably have to . 14:57, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

Some problems after the upgrade
Some rather minor problems that I noticed. I checked with IE 8, Chrome and Firefox (latest editions). 1) On the left side there seems to be a small problem with the drop-down menus, they appear with different color (blue instead of yellow). 2) On the front page UNIQ2b965de5753dc714-css-00000000-QINU and UNIQ2b965de5753dc714-css-00000001-QINU appear, below the games and above the "Welcome to Zelda Wiki". Last, there is some color overlapping in the search bar (blue and yellow) and in Firefox "Search" appears twice, while in Chrome and IE it shows a square on the right.

Hoo boy so many problems. This is all in IE10, in case it matters. Toomai (talk) 14:32, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
 * 1) I logged in on this page but it didn't stick until I hard-refreshed RecentChanges in another tab. Hard-refreshing this tab didn't work; only opening this page up from that tab did.
 * 2) Some templates cause ridiculously broken HTML to stink up the page. Have a look at Morth and Eyegore.
 * 3) The green gradient for the search bar background doesn't reach all the way down through the whole box.
 * 4) When I was making this post, the "Currently editing" feature was suddenly replaced with some sort of 503 error, which fixed itself once I tried to get a better look at it.
 * Ok, I'm not sure what is the proper solution to the second point, but I noticed that if the pages have the caption field completed then the problem is fixed. Edit: The InfoField template needs to be altered. The problem with the caption messes up all the pages. Also, some article pages just don't load at all (Majora's Mask (Object), Groose, Gohma, Ganon for example) Zeldafan1982 (talk) 17:33, 18 August 2013 (UTC)

More problems: Toomai (talk) 15:51, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
 * 1) Special:SpecialPages is dead.
 * 2) There's a ton of spam coming in and no evidence of their accounts being created in the user creation log.


 * Thanks for the heads up, guys. Turns out the update wasn't as smooth as planned. To address your issues:


 * Pages with audio files (like theme songs) are dead. Audio files don't seem to play nice with the update. Fixed
 * Account creation has been disabled due to some database errors and the spambots.
 * The issue with infoboxes should be fixed now. Please tell me if it's not.
 * A couple extensions are broken (namely the CSS extension), resulting in the weird error codes you see. Fixed


 * If you see anything else that's wrong. please post it here. 19:41, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Something that most likely you have already noticed: the templates that use tabs like this and this also have problem. Zeldafan1982 (talk) 20:13, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Done. It wasn't the tabs themselves that were causing the issue, but rather the badly formatted tables. Keep 'em coming! 17:20, 19 August 2013 (UTC)

Another one: Search doesn't work if there isn't a page or redirect at the exact title. Toomai (talk) 04:08, 19 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Should be fixed now. :) 17:20, 19 August 2013 (UTC)

Ogg files and custom citation buttons
Another thing, the custom citation buttons no longer appear. Also, is it possible that the ogg player allows you to go to a specific point? I noticed that it is possible in the file description. Edit: I just noticed that it is not possible to upload ogg files. Does the problem occur only with ogg files or with images as well? By the way, nice job fixing the errors guys! The problem seems to be now that there are certain pages where the code is a bit problematic and it is difficult to track them down. Zeldafan1982 (talk) 23:02, 19 August 2013 (UTC)

Hey...
I went to go check my edit count, and there were random codes everywhere! At your convenience 21:32, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
 * All fixed. Thank you! 12:18, 19 August 2013 (UTC)

Typo template
The typo template seems to have a problem. The  tags are shown when it is used in quotes. Zeldafan1982 (talk) 00:01, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Fixed. If I understand correctly, a lot of HTML tags are not supported in the new HTML standard (HTML5) which we are now using since the update. Tags such as and will no longer work in some cases (mainly tables and templates, it seems) and will have to be phased out in favor of inline CSS (example). 15:01, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

Problem with Image Renaming
I just came across an error while attempting to move this image. It used to have a capitalized file extension, which is why I decided to rename it. After attempting to move it, I received an error message saying that I didn't have permission to do so, along with several pieces of code. After exiting the form, I noticed that while the file description page hadn't moved, the image itself had. However, when I tried to view the new image all I could see was this error message: Error creating thumbnail: convert: no decode delegate for this image format `/tmp/magick-1ekqNCf6' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/532. convert: missing an image filename `/tmp/transform_6284a4c04d58-1.png' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/3011. After this I tried to move the file description page again, which worked, but the image still didn't appear and an error message was in its place. I wasn't quite sure whether this issue was due to the recent update or not, so I placed in within a different section. I've never tried to move an image before, so I can't say if it has ever worked for me.

Also, on a related note, the moving form doesn't seem to have the option to suppress redirects. 11:18, 21 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Moving files is an admin user right; so is suppressing redirects, which is a form of deletion, so you wouldn't be able to under normal circumstances.
 * As for the error, you might want to try flagging down Justin; he's our go-to fix-it man at the moment. 13:43, 21 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Howdy, guys. Sorry about the trouble with images. I've fixed the problem, and uploads and image manipulation should work as normal. It was a quick fix, but was something I really should've known from the start. My bad! 14:33, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

Captions in galleries and YouTube videos
I noticed that the captions in galleries and YouTube videos are not automatically centered. Regarding the latter, is it possible that the template is changed to do that? Also, a weird problem; in cases where "Advertisements" is used as a header the s has to be omitted otherwise the header doesn't appear (example). Zeldafan1982 (talk) 14:48, 23 August 2013 (UTC)


 * I'll look into the video centering. Shouldn't be too hard. And as for the advertisements thing... Are you sure? I can see it just fine on the page you linked after reverting your edit. Try refreshing your cache, and if you still have the issue, take a screenshot and either upload it here or email it to me. 14:55, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
 * I checked with IE and Chrome and the header appears. Is it a Firefox problem? I deleted the cache but the header doesn't appear. Also, since I was checking the pages with YouTube videos, should I keep the center tag or delete it? I deleted it in some pages, not sure if I did right.
 * On a sidenote, is the problem with the ogg files (the uploading) difficult to be fixed? Just asking :) Zeldafan1982 (talk) 15:15, 23 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Hm. Not sure. I don't use Firefox, so I wouldn't know. I'll have to install Firefox later and check it out to see what's causing the issue. As is, I'm getting ready to go to bed.
 * As for the vids, use style="text-align:center" to replace the deprecated center tag. We should really try to shy away from outdated elements like that. And as far as uploading ogg files goes, what issue do you mean? I'm not aware of any problems with uploading them, unless you're referring to the removal of MultipleUpload. 15:31, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
 * The problem is that after the uploading is finished it shows only a blank screen. The upload log doesn't show the files either. We had a similar problem with the ogg files in the past if I remember correctly. Zeldafan1982 (talk) 16:40, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Given that I'm still awake, I decided to go ahead and install Firefox to check out the issue. I still don't see your problem, so now I'm telling you that I'll need a screenshot of what you mean before I can do anything for the issue.
 * As for OGG files, you filled up the recent changes with uploads of them a few days ago, if I recall correctly :P I'll try uploading a couple OGGs to test it out, though. 16:48, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
 * False positive.. the issue was caused by AdBlock :P Also, another minor issue. I see that the Kaltura player has two "versions", one appearing in the file description (example) that lets you go to a specific point of the track and the "lite" version that shows on the pages and galleries. The "full" version is preferable I think. Zeldafan1982 (talk) 17:32, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Whether or not the progress bar appears depends on the width of the player. The magic number seems to be 233px. If the player's smaller than that, there isn't enough room for a progress bar so it disappears. The default size for embeds is 180px, so that's why it's not appearing on pages. If you increase the width to, say, 233px, it will appear. (But even then it's inconveniently tiny. I would say the width should be at least 250px.)
 * The problem with that is most of our audio files are used in infoboxes. Increasing the width of the embed by 50+ pixels will stretch out the infoboxes on a lot of pages. 12:53, 24 August 2013 (UTC)

Upload Multiple Images...
Hey does anyone know what happened to the upload multiple images button? Did we move it somewhere or just get rid of it all together? -- 10:09, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
 * I removed the extension due to security concerns. It wasn't being maintained, and the form is open to hijacking. 10:55, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

Warning when a file with the same name but different extension is uploaded
I noticed that when you try to upload a file that has the same name, but different extension from another one (I checked with an ogg file versus a png) it gives this warning: "You will upload over an already existing file.If you proceed, the information in this form will not appear on the description page." You can still ignore the warning and upload the file without overriding, but the warning shouldn't appear, and may make someone change the name although there is no need to. Not a major problem but still. Zeldafan1982 (talk) 17:29, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

Banning
Hey, so I just joined Zelda wiki several days ago, and I was wanted to know what actions are inappropriate and constitutes a ban, and whether or not we can IP ban, partially because I don't want do something stupid and ban myself, but mainly whether or not we can legally ban User: TheLinkOfTime. As some of you may know, TheLinkOfTime joined this wiki several days ago, and has since then consistently harassed people on their user talk pages. In fact his only "contributions" have been to talk pages. Here's a quote:

Help.

Hey, you have been watched for awhile and the Boss likes you. So please make an account on the ssb wiki and contact me. There I'm: TheIncrediblePichuLOL. Please. —Preceding unsigned comment added by TheLinkOfTime (talk) 20:18, 23 September 2013

End quote.

So I checked out his Smash Wiki account, and found he was doing the exact same thing there, only worse. Is it possible to ban him before he causes anymore serious damage to this wiki and/or our psyches? Also, apologies in advance if this an inappropriate topic and/or location to post.
