Categorizing

If you have time, could you go through the list of uncategorized files? Anyone with this link can edit Files,Pages templates. To view all the Files, Here 730 of them. All pages 238 of them. And templates is only 76, but easy access here.

I plan to use AutoWikiBrowser, and import a text files of all these uncategorized stuff and use the AutoWiki to fast edit.--Dfoplayer (talk) 22:09, 25 February 2015 (PST)

Sure, I'll get to it tomorrow --CitricCurrent 22:41, 25 February 2015 (PST)

Since there were some images nominated for deletion last night, does this mean we need a new list in the Google Doc? Not everything in that list is still there. Might be hard to figure out what's missing now. --Space Fish 13:21, 26 February 2015 (PST)

Fortunately, the AutoWiki allows me to see a few lines of the page before I make changes. I should see delete on the images since there is no text. There is a skip button, so we should not have to worry a new list. However, if we mark pages and templates to delete, we may need to update google docs as those has text. --Dfoplayer (talk) 15:32, 26 February 2015 (PST)

About your planned skill page reworks

Think you can add in the skill nav things while you're at it? They're here Category:Navigational_Templates I'm slowly but surely working on them, though if the beta date is announced, I'll speed up my time table to finish them by then. Though common class skills would also have a subclass one as they all flow and possibly emphasized by a subclass (easy example: Weapon master and common skills w/ variations)--Fishman46 (talk) 21:55, 1 March 2015 (PST)

I may work on that, I'm curious about emphasized skills though, they don't seem to really apply to Male Mage and up classes, for example I don't think Chaos has any emphasized common skills so I kind of want to avoid that part of the skill nav for the sake of consistency. --CitricCurrent (talk) 22:31, 1 March 2015 (PST)

I'm gonna avoid that as well, as even Male mage has some mysteryish skills let alone F.Slayer and Knight, not really gonna add such a thing on those myself. Emphasized common would be common skills that connect to a subclass through theme and/or function. The Kunoichi skill Nav has skills that are well associated with her by theme (first usage of the matter) Well let me use Berserker and Mountainous Wheel and Gore cross as some more examples; they're common skills that get stronger/change in Berserker's hands--Fishman46 (talk) 01:35, 2 March 2015 (PST)

I get what you're saying but I'm hesitant to include emphasized common skills because I'm trying to keep older class pages consistent with the newer ones, I'm afraid it may come off as confusing to those unfamiliar with the game if certain classes have emphasized common skills while others don't. It's an obsolete detail that I don't think should be emphasized all that much; besides, I think people will figure which common skills are important for their subclass through reading through subclass specific skill pages.--CitricCurrent (talk) 01:44, 2 March 2015 (PST)

I might just make that a note on the subclass page itself instead.--Fishman46 (talk) 01:50, 2 March 2015 (PST)

Creating New Skill Videos

Hello CitricCurrent. I read on your User page that you are going to aid in fixing the skill video replacement problem on the wiki as well. Sorry to pester you, but I need your opinion on what the new videos should contain. The old videos were either too short to explain how the skill works or too vague on how to use the skill properly. So, I have a few questions concerning the creation of new videos. Do you believe it is necessary to include the significant differences between PvE and PvP such as range, number of hits, etc.? Do you feel it is necessary to have videos for TP skill upgrades to show differences? --Altair (talk) 23:15, 19 March 2015 (PDT)

Sorry for the late response since I haven't been on for awhile. TP skill upgrade videos should go on their own page rather than the skill's page if they really need it, TPs that only upgrade damage aren't necessary to display. Skills that show upgrades or alterations to past skills (I.e. Witch's "Witch's Assistant" skill may show all changes to previous skills and Glacial Master's "Icy Aura" should show how his attack string, dash attack, jump attack has changed. Showing how grab skills would work on grab immune monsters (where applicable) would be nice. Having more than one video on pages of skills that classes with more than one gender share may be necessary if there are differences between the two versions (Female Ranger's MultiHeadshot firing more shots than Male Rangers). Showing differences between PVE and PVP may be too much, but explaining the difference on the skills' pages should be done. All in all try to keep videos short but not vague. It may take awhile for me to get to videos since I'll most likely be busy around the time of beta, but hey, go ahead and knock em out.

--CitricCurrent (talk) 15:52, 21 March 2015 (PDT)

Does using this affect the game client in any way, shape or form; or does it make copies of the ver4 files in order to convert those copies to ver2 files? I ask that question because I want to extract images of the new Barrier Caster monster (and Contamination Carina as well). Also, could you explain how you extract images for the purpose of uploading them? (A video could also be nice for all that.)
