File upload
Hey, thanks for your interest in the wiki. Just wanted to let you know that for screenshots we usually don't go with PNGs because the filesize is usually quite a bit bigger than a comparable JPEG. It's a great pic you've uploaded, but it might be best to re-upload it as a JPEG.--RosicrucianTalk 15:07, 14 August 2009 (EDT)
You don't have to put your name on pictures you've uploaded - it says in the "File history" underneath who uploaded it. :) --abates 23:35, 14 August 2009 (EDT)
Replacing Screencaps
Hi, thanks for the tips everyone. ^^ Still, I have a question for whoever sees this: I think I mentioned to someone that I'm working on replacing and uploading new Armada screencaps, but when I tried to replace one with using the same file name and everything, it didn't seem to work, since I still see the fuzzy version on the article as well as when I click to see it. Do I just have to wait for it or something? (EDT) right, sorry ^^; --WhiteWings 17:40, 15 August 2009 (EDT)
- Your browser is caching the old image. If you click on the image to bring up just the image, then hit "refresh" on your browser, that ought to update your cache. Otherwise, you could try emptying your cache and seeing if that helps. (Also, you should use the official signature code of ~~~~ to sign your posts, as it provides the time of your post and a link to your userpage... you can create a custom signature to shorten your nick if you like.) --Jeysie 13:48, 15 August 2009 (EDT)
Gotcha. I'm continuing on replacing them, but I was wondering how do I go about renaming the files? It's not that they have bad names already, it's just that I kinda wanted to make it a bit more orderly, and I had some trouble finding certain images to replace since they weren't labelled by episode at times (or in one or two cases, the wrong episode). --WhiteWings 20:44, 16 August 2009 (EDT)
- You can't, unfortunately. The best you can do is upload to the new filenames, change the code in the articles to point to the new images, then slap a {{delete}} on the old images. --Jeysie 20:57, 16 August 2009 (EDT)
