:Dawn, thanks so much for getting this page started! It's been on my to-do list forever, but, as you can see, there's always something ahead of actual progress. You clearly have an organized mind (mine, lately, has resembled a jigsaw puzzle with key pieces lost forever) and I soooo appreciate you take the time to write "help" for the various tricky aspects of the wiki. I saw your conversation with KayT about using various wiki formats. We settled on MediaWiki because it seemed to have the best documentation, but I have to admit I was surprised at the various products available.--[[User:Romancewiki|Romancewiki]] 10:03, 2 September 2007 (PDT)

Looks like you got something straightened out here. RomanceWiki is the one who should know. So we probably need to either have her delete or redirect the [[Mirage (SP)]] and [[Mirage by Monica Burns]] pages. What does/did the (SP) stand for, I wonder? It is fun to learn about stuff here. We are much more forgiving than that big wiki! But I have learned about so much wiki stuff. and romance stuff. --[[User:Kay T|Kay T]] 14:55, 31 August 2007 (PDT)
 
 
 
:Sorry, I did not read the above thread. I think we can put [[:category:Pages To Be Deleted]] on the pages and RomanceWiki will delete them. --[[User:Kay T|Kay T]] 14:59, 31 August 2007 (PDT)
 
 
 
::Aha! Thank you for the magical category.  =)  I've messed at tiny bit with the 'big' wiki and have participated in other wikis (with different syntax, ugh).  I'm enjoying stuff here and messing around and meeting everyone.  -[[User:DawnBurn|DawnBurn]] 15:01, 31 August 2007 (PDT)

Images

Dawn, could you maybe help make an "Help:Uploading Images" page? I never do this and don't really know how, while you seem to be proficient. I am trying to put together a more generic Help page that will link to this image page (you can just use this link if you like) so any content would be appreciated. --Kay T 15:50, 7 September 2007 (PDT)

Sure, Kay. I'll see what I can whip up. And note: I only seem proficient. I'm only as good as my ability to search out the instructions from the main wiki site. --DawnBurn 16:11, 7 September 2007 (PDT)
Okay, check out my sandbox for the whip up. I used some of the text from the official wiki site & then edited in some Romancewiki stuff. Do you think it needs a section on how to find images? --DawnBurn 01:01, 11 September 2007 (PDT)
So you have to have the picture saved to your own computer, you can't upload from another website, right? --Kay T 15:42, 11 September 2007 (PDT)
That is correct. I'll try to make that a little clearer. -DawnBurn 15:58, 11 September 2007 (PDT)

I moved it to Help:Uploading Images "which may have unforeseen consequences" like now you have a redirect on your sandbox page. I have a couple of sandbox pages and I usually just copy and paste, but I thought I would get fancy. Ughh! Remove the redirect if you want to use the page for your sandbox again. --Kay T 11:07, 15 September 2007 (PDT)

That's fine and what I'll do. I prefer moving since it moves the discussion & edits too and I can easily remove the redirect. =) --DawnBurn 12:07, 15 September 2007 (PDT)
Dawn, you still have a redirect on the talk page for that sandbox. Just in case you wanted to chat there about the image. You know, some time ago I shrunk some images by using the "numberpx" argument and it seemed to work. Maybe we could just add on the Help page a standard size number. I wonder why thumb doesn't work? Maybe that is a template that calls the standard thumb size on wiki? --Kay T 16:44, 16 September 2007 (PDT)
Does this help? Wikipedia images? --Kay T 16:46, 16 September 2007 (PDT)
Did help. Thanks. --DawnBurn 18:40, 16 September 2007 (PDT)
