Re: Italian wiki
Greetings, and welcome to WikIkariam. If you use this link Wikia:Listing of all Ikariam Wikia's, it shows all of the different versions of Ikariam, you will notice that there is no Italian language version of our Wiki at the present time. To create one you can click on the Create a new wiki link that is above your name / avatar, at the top of the page or click here and answer the prompts on that page.

If you do create the Italian wiki, you may use any of our information and templates from our wiki. You can also use the images as well but you must be sure to add a license to the image on your wiki if you do use them, no matter where you get them from. I can help you with linking our wiki's together as well. -- 11:46, July 7, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Italian Ikariam Wiki
Thank you for replying. Unfortunately, there is another wiki called it.ikariam.wikia so I have to use another name...

As regards templetes I'll do try to use yours, even I don't know exctly how...

The images will probably have to be downloaded from our wiki and uploaded onto yours individually - if they did not copy over when you exported the templates.

As to the templates, on our wiki, I tried to add Documentation to each one to explain how to use them, I did not get to document every template but I did most of them. Feel free to ask any questions you may have to me or Ifaigios.


 * Be sure to import any of the Licenses that are not on your wiki also for the Images

-- 23:39, July 7, 2010 (UTC)

I have put in a request to have your wiki linked to every ikariam wiki that we are linked to - we will link to you using the Alt-Lang template code it if all works correctly and I add it to our template.

Here is the link to the request. -- 22:03, July 8, 2010 (UTC)

Ok, thank you very much. I still have lot of work to do...I've started renaming all the main pages in Italian... --Minerva Titani 22:22, July 8, 2010 (UTC)

I've imported all the licenses but I don' know how to use them. Are they like templates or categories? Do I have to tag all the images? And if so, how? I see that when I try to upload an image here in wikikariam, there's a menu from which you choose the appropriate license. How can I get this? Just to remain in the copyright field, are all the contents - texts, data etc - under free licences or under Gameforge Licence? I'm having troubles with another Wiki about Gameforge's Europe1400, as the community manager of the official forum told me my wiki violates Copyright Law (and the wiki it's at its first stage!); so I would like to know if I'm doing something illegal with this two wikis... --Minerva Titani 00:01, July 9, 2010 (UTC)

The licenses are Templates you can add the template (License) to the images). To get them to show up in that Drop down menu when you upload a image you have to edit your wiki's MediaWiki:Licenses page. Here is a link to our MediaWiki:Licenses page (you should be able to see but not edit it) to see how it works.

All images should have a license on them -- if they are from any other Wiki such as from our wiki - then all you have to have (Mainly) is the wikia you got the image from license - Example ikariam will show as and From Wikia will show as  - most of my templates if you add the parameter doc= then the page will not get categorized when you use the template. -- 02:17, July 9, 2010 (UTC)

The Licenses that I keep referring to only applies to Images and not the content (text) - you do not have to have a license on every page - just on the images that are used on the wiki - be it from Gameforge or another wiki or another web site - They (images) must have a license if used in any way on the wiki. -- !!!

Ok, I have the drop down menu and made a new license referring to wikikariam. Are you sure I dont' have to use a Gameforge copyright license (as the one you put under all GF images) even if I downloaded the images from your wiki? They are still property of Gf even if they are hosted by your wiki...Thanks for being so patient! Minerva Titani 09:44, July 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * If you take a Screen shot of your game (in Italian) then you might need the C-Gameforge license (I would use it to be safe), but if you use one from my wiki (which the english game links to, so we are approved to use their images) then they are under the Cc-by-sa-3.0 license and that means they can be used on any wiki that is hosted by Wikipedia and Wikia.  When you right click on the images that are screen shots to "Save image as" and you then save the image, Click on the Edit page and you can then copy all of the licenses for that image and paste them to your page after you upload it (to be safe). --  13:21, July 10, 2010 (UTC)

Approval
I did not start this wiki way back in 2008, but as far as I know we did not ask for approval, but I do know that the us.ikariam.com boards have a link to us (located in the "Ikariam - Community and Support" section, "Help And Questions" sub-section. -- 10:29, July 9, 2010 (UTC)

License link to our wiki
You do not have to have a special link for our wiki **** From Wikia|Ikariam| or another Wikia project in your Licenses' becaus the **** From Wikia|I got this from Wikia or another Wikia project. covers every wiki hosted by Wikia. The From Wikia template has an option Ikariam to specify our wiki.
 * Example:

Ikariam produces

-- 14:45, July 10, 2010 (UTC)

Ohh yeah, if our image has a From Wikia, From Wikimedia or the C-Gameforge license already on them and you copy them over to your site and put them on the images then you do NOT have to give our wiki credit - those 3 licenses cover all of the Images ownership (from locations) no matter which of the Wikipedia hosted sites or Wikia hosted sites (including ours) and the English Gameforge site. -- 18:26, July 10, 2010 (UTC)

Colors / Images / etc
Slow down, you are trying to do too much all at once. I am helping by uploading some of the images for the templates (Flags at the moment).

You are going to burn yourself out trying to do the WHOLE wiki like you are - Work on sections ( such as say Categories only or just Templates only, etc) and when you get that section done or get tired of working on that section work on only 1 other section until you finish it or get tired of working on it and then switch again.

The colors for the templates such as Navbox and Alertbox as well as the tables will not show up correctly on your wiki unless you copy our MediaWiki:Common.css over to your wiki and you can modify the colors after you do - Also you need to copy MediaWiki:Common.js as well so that the [Show / Hide] options on the Navbox template will work.

You should not protect pages (like the Main Page) unless they are getting vandalized or if it is a really complicated template (such as Alt-Lang but you need to un-protect Alt-Lang/Cat and Alt-Lang/Flag as I can not make changes to them to help you fix them / get them working correctly. -- 19:20, July 10, 2010 (UTC)

The few images that I check that you uploaded (from the game such as buildings have the C-Gameforge license on them and that is all that is needed - it gives credit to Gameforge. -- 19:24, July 10, 2010 (UTC)

I think and  are already un-protected...I don't see the option un-protect if I look at the templates.

I know I'm doing a mess!!

Also I changed something in my signature, so now it doesn't work properly but I don't know how to find again the edit page for my sign! Ops...

I uploaded the building images from wikikariam not from the game, don't know why they show the Gameforce license instead of wikia license even if I chose the latter from the drop down menu... I keep on moving all the pages from the page list to their Italian equivalent. Thanks for being so patient. Minerva Titani

When you Exported the building pages - I think there is a box to check or uncheck that asks if you want to export all Templates associated with that file - I think you told it yes - and in doing so it copied the Licenses since they are templates - so you got the Gameforge license as well - This is a  GOOD  thing - because that is the Most important license you need since it is from the game (you do not have to list every place that uses the images - such as our wiki - if we got the image from somewhere else - otherwise your list could get long

If use a image from a wiki (call it wiki1) and they got it from wiki2 and they got it from wiki3 and they got it from gameforge - that list would be  (WikIkariam, Wiki1, Wiki2, Wiki3, Gameforge)  so that would be 5 different licenses on each image )  That is TOO many just use the C-Gameforge if it is from  the game and the Wiki we list if we got it from another wiki or Ikariam if it is only on our wiki. --  15:29, July 11, 2010 (UTC)

What you should do: is 1st copy over a few pages at a time (in groups) that you think you really need and then re-translate them to Italian or your wiki will be a  mis mash of English / Italian language pages - We (Ifaigios and I) can help copy the pages over but we can not translate them - we can copy the images over with licenses.

If you try to do ALL of this - you will burn your self out (I know I did that with this wiki - and had to take a year off because I was so burnt out on doing this) and then came back and had to re-do many things that had changes, make new templates, remove many outdated pages, etc.. but this time I had Ifaigios, Tankmaster, and Rmedic to help me so it was not so bad.

Remember, wiki's are a community effort - so do not try to have every page done before the community gets to help -- So slow down and do small groups at a time ( make it Correct the 1st time, our pages will be here for you to copy anytime - they will not go away (unless they become outdated or such and then you would not want them anyhow ). -- 15:29, July 11, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Signature
To make special Signatures you need 2 pages:
 * 1) The 1st page is to make all of the special coding for the signature - mine is User:Jrooksjr/Sig1 (this is to be used like a sub-template for your signature).
 * 2) Make a page to show the signature - I use User:Jrooksjr/SigX (this is the main template for your signature).
 * 3) In your Preferences click on the box marked Custom Signature and put the page that has your Final Signature one it - I used   and it was changed to   in the box.


 * Note : : If you do this on 1 wiki - then you will have to do this on EVERY Wiki you make edits to, if they are apart of the Wikia system or your signature will be until you make the 2 signature pages on that wiki.

-- 11:58, July 11, 2010 (UTC)

Your wiki is now linked to all other wikis like we are
Your wiki w:c:it.ikariamitalia is now linked to all language wikis but the w:c:zh-hant.ikariam wiki at the moment - I messed up and tried to get them to link it to w:c:zh.hant.ikariam err I used a period and not the dash by mistake, so that one will be linked later on. -- 21:49, July 17, 2010 (UTC)

Signature
Click on Preferences and on the main  screen  or "User Profile" tab it should say the following Username: User ID:

Doctor images
Thanks for letting me know, I went to your wikia and downloaded the new images and will upload them on ours to update them and your welcome on the help with the table. -- 00:16, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

---

I think the doctor images from my wiki are too small compared with the other unit images...maybe they need a resizement...I don't have time right now... Minerva Titani 00:23, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

Heh, yeah the Large image (PNG) is smaller than the other, and the smaller image (gif) is larger than the others, but for now they will work, I or we can fix that later, the main thing is we have the newer (correct) images to work with for now. Again, I say thanks for letting me know about the change. -- 10:52, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

I figured out how to download the correct size for the File:Doctor small.gif.

You have to change the web URL to get the right one

For instance - if you got the image from http://s666.en.ikariam.com/skin/characters/military/x60_y60/y60_medic_faceright.gif (Test Server)

Change the X and Y numbers to 40 such as http://s666.en.ikariam.com/skin/characters/military/x40_y40/y40_medic_faceright.gif (Test Server) to get the smaller version of the same picture.

You can also change the last part from faceright to faceleft like this http://s666.en.ikariam.com/skin/characters/military/x40_y40/y40_medic_faceleft.gif (Test Server) if you want the images to get the images of them facing the other way.

-- 22:21, August 30, 2010 (UTC)

Patch number
It was on the Tetst Server as Patch 0.4.0.1 but released to the games as Patch 0.4.0. I will be renaming it back to Patch 0.4.0 today, it was released to I All servers today I think. -- 16:26, August 26, 2010 (UTC)

HeadingA
You have to 1st set the paramter  so that you can create the transcluded page (the transcluded page is called "Template: ) that is to be displayed by the   parameter. You can then remove the edit=yes parameter if you do not want the template to be easily editable (with the word edit displayed) --  17:54, September 15, 2010 (UTC)

DynamicPageLists
You must set a category for it to list pages from. Please see mw:Extension:DynamicPageList_(Wikimedia) for more detailed options. -- 18:12, September 15, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Skin
Yeap, I was experimenting to see which CSS and JS files are loaded in the new Wikia Beta skin. Sorry for the inconvenience! Ifaigios 18:33, September 15, 2010 (UTC)

Your wiki
I've noticed that your wiki is on it.ikariamitalia.wikia.com, while there is an empty wiki on it.ikariam.wikia.com, and its admin is absent. I just remembered that you can request from Wikia Staff (using Special:Contact) to move your wiki to it.ikariam.wikia.com and make it.ikariamitalia.wikia.com a wiki redirect. I think that this is a good idea because its more easy for people to remember it.ikariam.wikia.com than it.ikariamitalia.wikia.com, as its URL is shorter. Ifaigios 18:33, September 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * You don't have to edit the CSS or anything, you only need to tell Wikia via Special:Contact to move your wiki (Wikia Staff have such super-admin tools) and make your old wiki a redirect, so that every page you type using the old address is redirected to the same page under the new address. Every page will be moved, along with the images and the CSS's, and internal links will remain valid. Ifaigios 09:22, September 16, 2010 (UTC)

Page title
If you edit MediaWiki:Pagetitle you can change the page title of your wiki. The 3 main sysop / editors of the wiki (Me - Tank Master - Ifaigios) are beta testers of the new Wiki / Skin so we had to remove the MediaWiki:Common.css that affects all skins and kept MediaWiki:Monaco.css for the main users since Monaco is the main skin at the moment and we make changes to MediaWiki:wikia.css for the beta skin for the beta testing. -- 21:11, September 25, 2010 (UTC)

Re:New Wikia Look and problem with tables
I apologize profusely for my super late reply to this posting, I was not online much - computer problems during this time and missed the posting until I archived my older posts. Your best bet is to ask / talk to Ifaigios as he has been the one that has made the most changes to the new skin as far as converting the old settings over from Monaco over to the new one Wikia, again I am deeply sorry for this delayed reply. -- 19:52, January 24, 2011 (UTC)

Re:URL change
Congratulations, on them giving the URL change. The good new is as you said they are redirecting all w:c:it.ikariamitalia to links to w:c:it.ikariam, so now your wiki is more properly named in-line with the rest of the Ikariam wiki's.

The semi-bad news is we and the other wiki's are still linked to the old site (if you mouse-over the it link in Alt-Lang the bubble shows the old link) so that could be a tiny bit confusing to the more advanced users in general, not that we have too many of them. The only way to solve this is to have your wiki re-linked to the sites again, from the the new location, the only reason I mention this is that someone else could, at a later time, take over the old site and they would un-redirect it to the new site, and that would be bad.

I know this can happen because I made a new site called w:c:zipcodes and did not know that someone else had w:c:zipcode. I offered to take shut my site down and take over the other site if they made me a Bureaucrat on that site, they instead offered to re-direct the other site to mine because I had more work on mine and his site was last active in 2010, I said ok and I copied their six pages over to my site (to keep the Founder of that site from loosing their work) to be on the safe side, so that if they became active and wanted their site back and it was some how lost in the re-direct, the information will still be on mine for them to take back.

-- 15:01, May 25, 2011 (UTC)

I went ahead and made the request for the new interwiki links to link directly from your to the other 20 (counting this site) ikariam sites. The request can be found here

Thank you for making the request on my behalf; I don't know how these things work, so if you can follow the procedure it would be very kind from you. Thanks.--Minerva Titani 18:05, May 25, 2011 (UTC)

All 21 wiki's are now linked to w:c:it.ikariam and not the redirected w:c:it.ikariamitalia. Thus freeing that site for if someone else wants to adopt that wiki and use it. -- 20:36, June 19, 2011 (UTC)

Please read and vote
Please read my blog at User_blog:Jrooksjr/New_experimental_features_(found_on_newer_wiki's) and vote/give your opinions. -- 21:27, June 6, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for your response, I sent the request out to 12 members, 7 are the admins of our site and the other 5 such as yourself are admins of Ikariam in other languages that do make edits on our site. The majority of our admins agreed to try the new layout and we now have it. The Wikia staff member did point out that (at the moment) no one can edit another persons profile page, but they agreed that the Admins should be able to do that and a fix should be released today that will allow admins to make edits to any user's profile page (should it be necessary). The right column will not change in length (it is blank but unusable all the way to the bottom of all pages with one (1) exception the Main page (where we use the   and the   tags to get more room) all other pages are Fixed width and can not use the right column for anything. -- 05:58, June 8, 2011 (UTC)


 * I see...for me it's ok!

Just one thing: there's a graphic problem with wiki logos in the list of top wikis (user's page). Can you ask Wikia staff to fix it?--Minerva Titani 18:27, June 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I have reported it already. -- 18:41, June 8, 2011 (UTC)

MediaWiki:Wikia.css settings on your wiki
You might want to check your it:MediaWiki:Wikia.css settings to see if you did the same (small) mistake we did in our MediaWiki:Wikia.css settings. Read Here to see why the logo was messed up, showing as the background for each line in the top 5 Wiki's. -- 22:12, June 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for pointing it out to me, I'm going to check it. Btw, I need to ask you a favour: a Wikia staff member has noted that he sees my wiki with a different layout than the one I set. That is, the way I see my wiki is with a light blue background where the page content is, with all the other elements (buttons mainly) in blue tones; on the contrary, he sees it with a white background and green buttons (and he doens't see the logo either). Well, can you tell me which layout you see so that I can solve this strange problem? Thank you in advance!--Minerva Titani 12:28, June 10, 2011 (UTC)

I see your wiki with a "lightblue" background with the "Balloon-Bombardier" in the upper left corner and it appears that the right side image is not appearing correctly, but I see the "Ikariam" logo and your buttons are in a two-toned gradient blue (dark blue on bottom and light blue on top), the search box is in a darker blue from the main page while the header and your sectional headings are in dark blue and the category section and the "Articolo in primo piano" and "Versioni e Patch" sections are in a turquoise bluish color, and lastly your page color (where the text goes) is kinda grayish looking compared to the other colors - Very pleasing on the eyes, actually. -- 15:08, June 10, 2011 (UTC)


 * So you see it as I intended it! Perfect. Thanks for the detailed description! :)
 * Then that staff member had a problem that has nothing to do with my wikia.css...mumble mumble...I'll try to solve it with him.--Minerva Titani 18:55, June 10, 2011 (UTC)

Custom namespaces
I found out we are allowed to have 3 custom namespaces on a wiki, so I have contacted Wikia and asked for the 3 following namespaces:
 * 1) Research - For researches
 * 2) Unit-ship - For units and ships
 * 3) Building - For buildings

If you disagree or thinks we should use other names for namespaces please give your agreement, disagreement or other recommendations here. -- 01:55, July 12, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Facebook widget
The code is 

P.S. you need to change your signature in your preference to be "user" not the Italian word for user - all wiki's will translate the English word"user" into their language. Disregard - the wiki messed up in the display when I 1st read the message, I guess. 16:51, August 20, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Governments
No problem, I may not get to it in the next day or so but I will get over there and tag those and a few more pages (soon) with the Alt-Lang tags. -- 19:21, September 4, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Anarchy
I have updated both, the Governments and the Government templates to not have Anarchy under either category. Now, Anarchy is always show, no matter if it is on a temporary or permanent government page. On the Anarchy page it now says " Revolution " for the type of government and its requirements says " Change of Government ". IYP (In Your Opinion), does this better describe and display what Anarchy is? -- 19:21, September 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * Well, it's better in this way... But I think there's another problem: the use of the adj "permanent" to describe some forms, because it sounds like you can't change them (or at least not easily). For the Italian wiki, I chose to distinguish the government forms in Optional (opzionali) and Imposed (imposte). See here: Template:Forme Potere. IMO, this distinction underlines the fact that only Anarchy and Xenocracy can't be chosen by the player but are just a consequence of a "revolution" (which comes out after changing the gov. form) or of an occupation, that is something imposed by others (the gameplay system or another player). <span=help title="Minerva_Titani"><font color="#a335ba" font size="3px" face="Script MT Bold, Bold">Minerva Titani 20:27, September 4, 2011 (UTC)

I like your descriptions better (Optional and Imposed) so I re-merged Anarchy with Xenocracy under the now Imposed governments - while the rest are now under the Optional governments. -- 23:17, September 4, 2011 (UTC)

I'm glad to have helped you. If you like, you can "test" (through a poll or through a "survey" in the blog comments) what the other WikIkariam users and contributors think about it; so if they don't like these adjectives, you can get more suggestions and proposals. :) <span=help title="Minerva_Titani"><font color="#a335ba" font size="3px" face="Script MT Bold, Bold">Minerva Titani 10:42, September 5, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Wikia.css vs Theme Designer conflict
At the moment I have not solution to the problem caused on this wiki by the Theme Designer - I wish I never touched it actually. My page colors are not the way they are / were supposed to be, because of the TD and the hover colors are off as you have pointed out. I have tried to fix it several times and just ended up making things worse so I eventually had to revert them back to the way they are now. -- 15:12, September 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * Ok: I think it's better not to fix anything more at the moment because Wikia is always changing something and introducing new features that may cause further conflicts. Thanks for your reply. <span=help title="Minerva_Titani"><font color="#a335ba" font size="3px" face="Script MT Bold, Bold">Minerva Titani 15:20, September 5, 2011 (UTC)

Tell me if these settings are better ??

If they are then I think I know what the problem is, and it is a small flaw on Wikia's end.

If you use the Theme Designer and make a change, then you have to re-upload your background images every time you use it, or they will be over-ridden by the new settings even if you did not change the settings.

I clicked on "Customize" on the Theme Designer and set a color for each option "Links", "Buttons", etc.. and re-uploaded our background image as well before I clicked on "Save". -- 15:27, September 5, 2011 (UTC)

Yes, the edit button is definetely better this way, but the save button on the right column (the one you see when you edit a page) is still blue for me (maybe this cannot be changed yet or it uses another code...). I'll try to do the same thing you did in my wiki, even though this is the 100th time I modify my wiki colours after Theme Designer has been introduced. :( <span=help title="Minerva_Titani"><font color="#a335ba" font size="3px" face="Script MT Bold, Bold">Minerva Titani 15:46, September 5, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Wiki's new Editor
The new editor is a referred to as a different "skin" in the blogs, so I think it will use new (not yet defined for us) settings, from the way I have understood the many staff blogs. Soon, they are taking the Editor out of the WikiaLabs and adding it to all wikis. Maybe then we will hear about the new MediaWiki:wikia.css settings to personalize its settings. -- 16:06, September 5, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Edit window problem
We had the same problem on our wiki, the cause was one of several add add-ons, we had on the wiki, found in your it:MediaWiki:Wikia.js file.

It may be this section that I had removed as well

// Remove the "Featured on" links on File: / Image: description page $(function { if (wgNamespaceNumber == 6) $("#file").html($("#file").html.replace(/ .* /i," ")); }); &uArr; &uArr; &uArr; &uArr; &uArr; I believe this to be your primary problem &uArr; &uArr; &uArr; &uArr; &uArr;

I also removed this section as it did not work on the new Wikia skin

// Make it so that when adding a new image you can not click "Upload" until you choose a license first. function requireImageLicense { if (wgPageName == "Special:Upload" && getParamValue("wpDestFile") == null) { $("[name=wpUpload]").not("#wpUpload").attr("disabled","true"); $("#wpLicense").change(function { if ($("#wpLicense").val) { $("[name=wpUpload]").removeAttr("disabled"); } else { $("[name=wpUpload]").attr("disabled","true"); } }); } } addOnloadHook(requireImageLicense); -- 15:03, November 14, 2011 (UTC)

I double checked your MediaWiki:Wikia.js and your MediaWiki:Wikia.css files and, offhand, I do not see any suspicious code in either of them.

If you Unblocked the page and the editor works fine - double check to see if it quits working again by blocking the page -- If it does then you might want to report that problem as it should not be a problem. -- 15:34, November 14, 2011 (UTC)

I have made changes to both MediaWiki:Wikia.css and MediaWiki:Wikia.js, after they made the new wikia skin go online to all wiki's. I removed 2 addons and those sections I told you about from my .js file and a few minor tweaks to my .css file, but the css file changes should not have had any effect, check your Special:Preferences and make sure the " disable Pop-up editor " or however it is worded is not checked off -- that was one of my problems as well -- but overall your .js and .css files look nearly identical to mine now.

Of course as I am now posting to your reply -- my Wiki is messing up all of the sudden - The skin is now full page (it is like the wikia skin is turned off or something), I think wikia is doing something as we speak. -- 16:04, November 14, 2011 (UTC)

I was referring to the Disable "Create a new article" pop-up dialog and you do not have it checked so that is not causing the problem that I had. Overall, Your preferences look fine, other than I do not use the " Rich Text Editor " and I use the the  Use blank page as default for creating a new page and the Widen the Source mode edit box to fill the entire screen but again those settings have not been the cause of any problems in the past. I do not know what to say now, as I have a few pages that are "partially blocked" so that only registered users, only, can edit them, and a few templates that are "fully blocked" so that only Admins, only, can edit them, but the blocking has not caused any editor screen problems.

P.S. My wiki screen is back to normal (sort of ) it appears to be not as wide as before - outer edges (for adds) is larger now, but overall it appears back to normal. -- 16:28, November 14, 2011 (UTC)

RE: Visual problem on Main Page
Thanks for letting me know about that. I thought I had fixed it before but I see the "Preview" of a page before you save it does not always show you how the page will look before you save it - in a few instances like when using the  '''. . . ''' tags.

RE: Mix
Yeah, I did see the message on the Template talk:Units! I hate Special:WikiActivity and use Special:RecentChanges because of the fact that it does show everything, but actually I received an email alert to that change because I had made a change to that page and I have it auto add any page I make/edit to my watch list!

I answered the Template talk:Units message there! Basically 200px is the perfect size for most of the images and I had added the size= parameter to the template but forgot to add it to the documentation, now added as well.

As to the "Edit" window - I can not fix those colors as the colors are set for the Wiki as a whole, until I find a way to change the background color of the Edit window, that screen will be harder to see the "Show list of used templates" links etc. ..
