Image names[edit]

Hello, when uploading images, can you give them better names please? The names you are giving them are long and not really descriptive. Thanks, The Solar Dragon 11:15, December 10, 2014 (EST)

Sorry about that, I will work on it when uploading. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mcdude man (talk • contribs) 11:18, December 10, 2014

Images[edit]

Hi, when uploading images, can you try and get them in .png format rather than .jpg please? pngs are generally of higher quality. Thanks, The Solar Dragon 09:18, December 15, 2014 (EST)

I would but MPC does not have any option to change the format for frame captures. And the jpg is saved with full quality/minimal compression. In the future I will replace all of them with captures from the DVD versions of better quality. --Mcdude man (talk) 09:36, December 15, 2014 (EST)

Is there any way to skip the CAPTCHA? It gets to be a pain... --Mcdude man (talk) 12:03, December 15, 2014 (EST)

It'll go after about a week and a certain amount of edits I can't remember the number of but think you've passed. So, just wait until a week has past since your first edit and it'll go. The Solar Dragon 12:33, December 15, 2014 (EST)

Try converting your files with this page. / Loco87 ^{(TALK / Contribs)} 15:22, December 15, 2014 (EST)

I hope I am doing better with images now and am categorizing them correctly. I am unsure if certain goofs (like a change between two frames, examples are on the THOH XV page) should be uploaded as two images or edited into one side-by-side image. --Mcdude man (talk) 07:42, December 18, 2014 (EST)

Goofs, two images in the same picture could be a good idea. Also, see this edit I made. Headers need to be put above the summary and licensing like that. :) Thanks, The Solar Dragon 09:32, December 18, 2014 (EST)

Ahh, I thought something was missing when I added images. Thanks! I wish there was a "preview" button with images as I occasionally need to fix something after. I will be sure to add the headings from now on. For the goofs, I think it is better to combine the shots so that the entire goof can be seen at once. I will revise the images I put yesterday.

As for the Krusty Doll, I hope I am on the right track! :) Pardon the hidden text I added (I said it might get a bit messy as it is worked on) it is just so I can better visualize what I plan to add and stuff to help me sort things. Thanks for the help! --Mcdude man (talk) 10:14, December 18, 2014 (EST)

Spam Accounts[edit]

Hi Mcdude man. When a Spam account creates a Spam article just replace the content of the spam article with the Spam Template. Don't create the user page of the Spam Account with the aim of putting the spam template in it. It is more work for admins. If you just add the template to the spam page, we'll just delete that page and block the spam account, so there's no need for creating its user page. Thanks! / Loco87 ^{(TALK / Contribs)} 11:09, December 17, 2014 (EST)

Will do! --Mcdude man (talk) 11:12, December 17, 2014 (EST)
