I'd just like to issue you my personal thanks for your work on the wiki. Great Job. ReubenHung 06:00, 9 November 2010 (CST)
 * Thank you! --Barracuda 12:03, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I'd like to thank you also. Thanks for compressing all those images! -F1racer101 10:46, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Hehe, that's just a matter of minutes thanks to some command line tools ;-) --Barracuda 10:52, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

I'd like to thank you on creating that template! I had no idea how to. great job!--Kizzycocoa 17:15, 22 December 2010 (CST)
 * No problem, even though the template was really fiddly work. It could be done easier and more elegant with CSS, but that requires edits in the MediaWiki:Common.css stylesheet. --Barracuda 17:24, 22 December 2010 (CST)

Sprites
What are we gonna do about block sprites within the inventory? (the isometric ones) -- Eric304 16:34, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Add them later, I can write a script to combine those images into one sheet. For now, we need to finish blocks and items first. --Barracuda 16:41, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I've come to inform you that part of fence image on the block template is behind the text, and for the pumpkin, I can only see the side of the pumpkin. Drenay
 * I've improved the fence already, you probably need to refresh your browser's cache. But what's the problem with the pumpkin? There's only the side and top sprite that can be displayed for it. --Barracuda 19:06, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Some links on the template are red. Drenay 19:16, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

ALERT
We are under attack by a spammer. He deletes content. He goes by the name Hftutyuhioygo and Krftufjikkyuolu; as in he has multiple aliases. Please find someone to IP-BAN him. And finally Monty251; he won't stop posting about his crafting app everywhere. Drenay 19:33, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
 * That's not my matter, I can't ban people. Ask User:Kizzycocoa. --Barracuda 22:16, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

Thank you
I would like to thank you for taking such an active role in setting up the sprites for the nav boxes. Resolving the server issues they were causing while still providing the images is a wonderful thing. -- Wynthyst  talk  14:17, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
 * It was a lot of work, but it was worth it. Now the icons look better, cause less server load and are quite intuitive to use. Some templates still are a bit messy and redundant, though, but I'm sure it will be improved sooner or later :) --Barracuda 15:58, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

Help!
We are having some issues getting the items template using the sprites working on the Dutch page. it seems to only want to display the first sprite. Any chance you could take a look at it and help? Thanks Barracuda! -- Wynthyst  talk  22:31, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Meh... nvm. I figured out what we were doing wrong :D -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  22:50, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh, ok. What was the problem? :o --Barracuda 09:20, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Forgot the sprite/pos template :P -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  09:53, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
 * About that, why do repeaters have ladders? Drenay 03:44, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Uh, where? I updated the image and replaced an duplicate ladder sprite, but I updated the template as well. Or is the Dutch wiki using the image from the English one? --Barracuda 17:07, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

New request for help
Hi Barracuda! I'm trying to figure out how to make this sprite system work on other wikis, and running into difficulties cuz I don't really understand it. Would you be willing to help me? Please email me, using the Email this user link from my userpage. Thanks! -- Wynthyst  talk  23:53, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Ok, I'll help you out tomorrow :) --Barracuda 03:51, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

Link templates broken
I don't know what you've done, or why, but the link templates don't work now.

Originally you had now it just ignores the last one, so the link uses the link as its name, which as you can see on Template:Items looks terrible. – ultradude25 ( T at 06:42, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Right, I forgot to implement the third parameter correctly in Template:SpriteLink. It's working again now. --Barracuda 07:05, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Nope, the image links to the text, instead of the actual link (look at the sun image on Template:SpriteLink for example). – ultradude25 ( T at 07:36, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Fixed. Note to self: need to set up an experimental MediaWiki server for template testing... --Barracuda 07:48, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
 * You could just do what I do and test it under your userspace. I even have a project area to contain anything that has a lot of pages (like the sprite templates), you just need to make sure to write down all the sub pages on the project page so you can easily get around and not get lost/confused. – ultradude25 ( T at 07:56, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Ok, but there's still the "problem" that all changes on user pages appear on the recent changes page. I think a local, private server gives more room for silly testing :) --Barracuda 08:44, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
 * You can always use my wiki as a test zone... a few of us do WynWiki and all the sprite stuff is already there :P -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  10:59, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
