Signature
Templates are not allowed in signatures. Either substitute it or have its code directly as your signature. You also shouldn't be going back to previous posts to update your signature, as that just spams up the recent changes. –ultradude25 ᐸ Talk Contribs at 03:40, 12 September 2012 (UTC)


 * My apologies for not reading the rules closely. Since Wowpedia allows templates in signatures, I assumed it wouldn't be an issue. I have adjusted my preferences so that it substitutes. Just as an observation though, it seems a little neater to have just a template on a page instead of the whole code, even if the code abides by the 250 character limit. I do understand the complications that may arise by changing a signature template that could potentially be on 100s of pages. Thank you for the heads-up. I'm also going to use your "span class=nowrap" idea there if you don't mind. I incorrectly used a  before my previous signatures. -- Kanegasi   ☺ C 12:23, 12 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes, it's less code, but since people potentially post thousands of times, that's a lot of pages to update when the template is changed. For most people it's probably not an issue, nor do they change their signature often, however it would be impossible to individually deal with who can have a template signature and who can't, so it's easier to just ban them completely. (P.S. Your signature would be much sorter without that alt text. It only does something on images, pointless having it on text.) –ultradude25 ᐸ Talk Contribs at 13:21, 12 September 2012 (UTC)


 * The alt/title codes change all mouseover tips, not just images. I didn't like "User:Kanegasi", "User_talk:Kanegasi", and "Special:Contributions/Kanegasi" in the tips. I see the custom ones. In fact, my previous sig above has different tips since I had to shorten them a bit to use the nowrap. IIRC, alt is what IE uses and title is what FF/Chrome uses. EDIT: Hopefully you don't take this the wrong way or anything, but I just wanted you to see what I see. Here's a screenshot of three different mouseovers on this page: http://i.imgur.com/HY8sm.png -- Kanegasi  ☺  C  13:53, 12 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes I know what the title does. However alt doesn't do anything on text. Old versions of IE used to make alt also display as a title, which is not valid HTML (neither is using alt on anything but an image). However that doesn't even matter since you have a title set anyway. –ultradude25 ᐸ Talk Contribs at 22:52, 12 September 2012 (UTC)


 * OH, you meant literally the alt codes. I thought you grouped both up. I haven't used IE in almost a decade, so didn't know that. Thanks :) -- Kanegasi  ☺  C  22:55, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

Microsoft Paint?
Did you use Microsoft paint, You sorta Broke the Transparancy! Arrran Weeviling The Inventor of the Cake Bomb! 07:13, 12 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Sorry about that :( Yes, I did use MSPaint. I was not aware there was transparency in use. I mainly changed it because the edit before me made the skulls disappear and new beacon revert. I noticed this when the BlockSprite on the Wither page didn't show the Wither skulls. I'll make sure not to touch any of the css.png images from now on and just notify their talk page if I see something off. In the future, if I get around to it, I'll learn how to use a different picture editor before making changes again. -- Kanegasi   ☺  C  12:32, 12 September 2012 (UTC)


 * The original image was fine, your cache was out of date. –ultradude25 ᐸ Talk Contribs at 13:21, 12 September 2012 (UTC)


 * I did use the ctrl+f5 method several times. Rechecking the archived version before mine again, after finding the "disable cache" option in Chrome, the skulls seem to be there. My mistake. I'm still not going to touch those images again until I have an understanding of a more robust image editor. -- Kanegasi  ☺  C  13:53, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

Error Posts
Sorry for those error posts... TC 01:48, 22 September 2012 (UTC) TC


 * Error posts? Also, you don't need to add your name after, unless that's how you want your sig to look. -- Kanegasi   ☺  C  01:55, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

Site Appearance
Hopefully someone sees this, as I don't know if there's a central help page for this kind of thing. I've never messed with the custom.css thing for any Wiki and would like to port Wowpedia's DarkVector skin to my common.css, but directly copying over doesn't work, which I didn't expect it to anyways. If anyone can assist me in making this skin work, let me know. Also, I hereby authorize anyone who can help to edit User:Kanegasi/common.css DIRECTLY in order to properly port that skin over, if that would be easier than explaining what I should do. That page currently holds an exact copy of the DarkVector skin. -- Kanegasi  ☺  C  02:43, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I blanked that page because I noticed that some of the formatting worked, like on diff pages or the size difference amounts in the recent changes and the colors were way off for a light background. -- Kanegasi  ☺  C  05:31, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
