02:52.12 | rascilon | hello |
02:52.16 | Martin__ | boo |
02:52.26 | rascilon | How are you doing tonight Martin? |
02:53.05 | SignpostMarv | hrm. seems I got renamed while I was afk |
02:53.08 | rascilon | New alias? |
02:53.16 | rascilon | Are you one of the admins? |
02:53.20 | SignpostMarv | yep |
02:53.22 | SignpostMarv | whatsup ? |
02:53.29 | rascilon | Have you had a chance to look over my updates? |
02:53.48 | rascilon | I have added probably 100+ pictures to spore wiki in the last 3 days |
02:54.45 | SignpostMarv | PNG be nicer :-P |
02:55.38 | rascilon | I'm just thinking of older browsers and compression. |
02:55.52 | rascilon | Trying to keep the file size low and the quality as high as possible |
02:56.42 | SignpostMarv | IE only has a problem with alpha transparency |
02:56.56 | rascilon | I talked to another of the admins the other day about image standards and never heard back |
02:57.05 | rascilon | So I used JPG to be on the safe side |
02:57.27 | SignpostMarv | http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/SporeWiki:Image_Guidelines |
02:57.43 | SignpostMarv | specifically, http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/SporeWiki:Image_Guidelines#Icons.2FBadges.2FAchievements |
02:58.42 | rascilon | Ok but your statement contradicts the standards you just linked. |
02:58.44 | rascilon | Unless you have found that a particular screenshot compresses better using PNG when compared to a full quality JPEG (it has been known to happen), screenshots should be made available using the JPEG format. |
02:58.56 | SignpostMarv | thats an icon |
02:59.04 | SignpostMarv | eep |
02:59.09 | SignpostMarv | i'm looking at an icon :-P |
02:59.28 | rascilon | Ok gotcha. |
02:59.41 | rascilon | So for small stuff like icons you prefer I use png? |
02:59.48 | rascilon | That's doable np. |
03:00.02 | SignpostMarv | or SVG, if you have the time |
03:01.11 | SignpostMarv | it's a pain in the ass to do the transposing, |
03:01.13 | rascilon | Yeah I think I can do that. Im using an older version of photoshop so I'll have to check |
03:01.32 | rascilon | What do you think of the graphic addition on a page like this? http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Rare_Jewels |
03:01.32 | SignpostMarv | but in some cases there are a lot of icons that would get substantially higher quality |
03:02.04 | rascilon | Keep in mind ALL of the graphics on ALL of the rare pages are made by me in the last 72 hours |
03:02.14 | SignpostMarv | looks good |
03:02.33 | rascilon | Good as long as I'm staying in line with what you guys want im happy. |
03:02.34 | SignpostMarv | http://inkscape.org/ |
03:02.44 | rascilon | I'll keep the SVG thing in mind for icons though. |
03:02.50 | SignpostMarv | try inkscape |
03:03.08 | SignpostMarv | though me being me, I tend to do a mix of hard-coding and inkscape |
03:03.19 | SignpostMarv | ^some paths are easier to do with software |
03:03.47 | rascilon | I'll give it a look. I'm going out of town though in a couple days so you wont see too many updates from me after tomorrow |
03:03.55 | rascilon | Going to Blizzcon |
03:05.16 | rascilon | Regarding the http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Storybook_Planets page, do you think since it's all populated now, it should look like the other rare pages and not link out to sub-pages? |
03:06.34 | SignpostMarv | debatable |
03:06.45 | SignpostMarv | they're for planets |
03:07.47 | rascilon | Well maybe they should be their own category then |
03:07.55 | rascilon | Cause the formatting is inconsistent |
03:08.05 | SignpostMarv | consistency is good, but why a category ? |
03:08.52 | rascilon | Well for example if you look at the story book detail pages, the template being used keeps most of the info null |
03:09.27 | rascilon | Look at this page I havent touched |
03:09.29 | rascilon | http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Tentacles |
03:09.41 | rascilon | notice how all the detail information is empty or redundant |
03:09.45 | rascilon | It's not needed |
03:11.12 | rascilon | It's the same template on pages ive updated, craters, pastry, marshmallows, and rattlesnake but it's not useful info |
03:11.35 | SignpostMarv | I'm wondering if those templates were designed before the game was released... |
03:11.40 | rascilon | plus i think my screenshots are more consistent across the board, cause i used or tried to use a consistent view |
03:11.58 | rascilon | You may be right, or taken from perhaps an astronomy wiki |
03:12.10 | rascilon | I'm just saying it doesn't really improve the particular page |
03:12.33 | rascilon | So you might want to talk to the admins about merging the page like all the other rares |
03:12.42 | rascilon | If you think that's prudent of course. |
03:12.53 | SignpostMarv | tis from 2006 |
03:12.57 | SignpostMarv | ^the template |
03:13.49 | rascilon | I am doing my best to try and meet the admins so you guys can use my talk page to let me know if I'm doing something that's outside of the guidelines. |
03:13.55 | SignpostMarv | i think some of those details aren't going to be possible to obtain without examining dat stuffages |
03:14.08 | rascilon | I kinda agree but it's not up to me. |
03:14.57 | SignpostMarv | does stuff by consensus |
03:15.16 | rascilon | I can tell you though I made sure all my photos were at a 1280x960 jpg standard and compressed to be just below 250k. |
03:15.30 | rascilon | I contribute to wowwiki a lot so I used many of their image standards. |
03:15.56 | SignpostMarv | you played with optipng for kicks ? |
03:16.23 | SignpostMarv | see if some of the photos compress better as PNG ? |
03:18.12 | rascilon | Yeah I realize I get slightly better compression with png, however at the file sizes we are talking about and the fact that most folks are on cable the png format wont matter much |
03:18.44 | rascilon | jpg is about 10% worse compression wise but enjoys much greater compatibility with older browsers |
03:18.58 | SignpostMarv | yeah, if I'm only getting about 10% better I don't tend to bother |
03:19.23 | rascilon | Do you at least feel I'm working in the right direction? |
03:20.32 | SignpostMarv | you seem to be doing good work :) |
03:20.58 | rascilon | Thank you. Please let the admins know about me, and use my talk page. I really just want to help. |
03:21.36 | SignpostMarv | i think I might prompt the admins to put their IRC schedules on the wiki |
03:23.05 | rascilon | Not a bad idea |
03:23.29 | rascilon | What is your talk page/user on sporewikia btw? |
03:23.53 | SignpostMarv | http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/User:SignpostMarv_Martin |
03:24.51 | rascilon | hehe i gave you an update |
03:29.48 | SignpostMarv | tis a good idea- my memory is a bit weird |
03:30.17 | rascilon | Meh that's ok, im no superstar either. |
03:30.43 | rascilon | I just wanted the admins to be aware of the multiple changes im making |
03:31.34 | rascilon | I want to be a part of the team, not some sort of random guy taking over the wiki. |
03:32.19 | rascilon | I talked to Eululia about it last week, but I never heard back from him/her. |
03:32.36 | rascilon | I'm not sure if I am getting that spelling right or not either. |
03:34.06 | SignpostMarv | he tends to change the spelling a bit :-P |
03:36.10 | rascilon | that's cool as long as you know who im talking about. |
03:36.19 | rascilon | Hey man I need to run, but it was nice to get to meet you. |
03:36.30 | SignpostMarv | np |
03:36.32 | SignpostMarv | have fun |
03:36.32 | rascilon | Just let me know on my talk page if you want me to change directions. |
03:37.24 | rascilon | thanks for the audience |
03:37.27 | rascilon | have a good one |

18:42.49 | Eulalia459678 | Yeah, I had a running one last week. |
18:43.08 | Eulalia459678 | I deleted him (I think) 'cuz I didn't have much use for him. |
18:43.11 | SignpostMarv | thought about scripting a welcome bot and giving richard a few tips ? |
18:43.50 | Eulalia459678 | There's a welcome.py script. |
18:45.22 | Eulalia459678 | SignpostMarv: Want me to? |
