Embedding Videos

Hey, I was just wondering if it would be fine to embed informational youtube videos on the wiki. I'm rendering one out on the jungle right now. I haven't been on the wiki long, so I'm not sure on the rules for it.

Thank you so much for your question! First off welcome to the wiki. Second off you talked about using a video about jungling. I am currently working on a project that we will be launching soon. The project is "Community Guides". I can possibly set it up where you can add the video up there and such as a video guide, instead of a written guide. Would that be something you are possibly interested in? ^^ Please let me know. Also, in the future please remember to sign your posts, when you are done leaving a message on a wiki discussion page. You do so by ~~~~. Thanks again and I look forward to hearing from you! Tesla 22:53, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

Switching to lossless datamined images

Greetings. This is partially for Krayt88 as well as Tesla and other editors as I trust many are following your page. I have gone through and datamined and uploaded a large amount of game files which are of lossless (png) quality. You can see the difference in quality in the images by comparing for example [this version of Agni's page and the [current state] (actually, the items and card image are downsized on that page so the quality can be improved even further). I also made it so clicking on the recommended item on the God page links to the item page rather than the image file. I have also updated all of the item page images and plan to give the other God pages the same treatment. I urge people to use raw/lossless images whenever possible. nakomaru 09:01, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

I've created/added to several categories to contain the datamined images: Skill Icons, Skill Art, Portrait Art, God Icons, God Cards, Concept Art, and Item Icons. I hope this is useful to other editors. Cheers. nakomaru 15:28, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

Oh! Thank you for letting me know! I saw a lot of the changes you have been doing. I am going to continue working on my newest project for the wiki, which I am happy to announce: Community Guides :) Tesla 08:16, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Change to Quotes?

Hey man, I've been wondering if we shouldn't just group all the quotes (jokes, taunts and whatever random things the characters say when spawning initially, dying or using abilities) together into one section? Also, how should we treat the High Seas skin for Sobek, since it has an entirely new voice over? RedArremer 23:17, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

I will consider that idea. :) ~ As for his special new voice over, hmmm... Give me time to think on that please! (Ps - Sorry for the late response.) Tesla 11:03, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

Voice Commands

Hi Tesla. Would you please put Voice Commands under Resources on the front page?

Dear Slicyr, thanks so much for putting that page together. However if you look at the Controls page that is listed on the front page, you will find that the full VGS system is listed there. After all they are in game controls. Further more, please remember to sign after posting on a discussion page. To sign you do ~~~~. Thanks again! Tesla 22:29, 22 October 2012 (UTC)

Templates

I've been testing out some templates to make it easier to create/edit item/god pages in the future. i made them so that there is one place that contains the data for an item/god and can be reused elsewhere within the wiki. this should help with maintaining the items pages if/when balancing occurs. check out my user page for the templates and example usage.

I believe I'm finished with the god template. It sets up the page as the current format and can accommodate all the current gods, even Hel's page which has two images per skill. I added a Response section as shown in the current Loki page. I'm almost done working on the item template to accommodate an item's page, the format used in the item lists, and will add code for it to be used in the item spreadsheet. Once done with those, I will write some usage info and start incorporating them in the appropriate pages.

Hey! I've been watching your edits closely. I will be happy to review your templates within the next couple of weeks (only going to take that long cause of an event I am involved in - sorry), but part of the reason I held off on the Item Template is because we may be implementing the API system sometime in the next month. That alone will change how those templates work - etc. Its why I set the project down for a while. But great work so far, I see you are working hard and will do my best to review your stuff within the next 2 weeks. Tesla 11:01, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the consideration of reviewing my work! But take your time, no rush is necessary since these templates are still very much works in progress and I am still learning the MediaWiki syntax and techniques. I've been trying to parameterize the item/ability/consumable/god pages as much as possible to make it easier for their related pages to conform to a particular format and to have the information for an item complied in one place instead of how spread out it is now, while still making it simple for new or unfamiliar users to edit and contribute.

I'm pretty excited to hear that an API will be implemented soon. Do you have any high/low-level information you could share about it, maybe like any template/function prototypes (still somewhat new to wiki-editing so not so sure what the terminology would be)? If so, I can start to evaluate what changes I might need to make on these templates to make the transition smoother.
