Deleting defeated redirects
Hey Dracaya, just wondering why you deleted my three redirect pages You have defeated a beloved, You have defeated a Midnight Whale and You've defeated a Behemoustache. I thought I was just following the format for the other monster pages, e.g. You've defeated an Albino Moray. Signapur (talk) 16:43, 30 October 2016 (UTC)
 * It looks like SporksAreGoodForYou is now re-uploading them. Not sure what to make of this. Signapur (talk) 17:34, 30 October 2016 (UTC)
 * We should absolutely redirect those interactions to the creature pages. No question about it. They link from stuff, and so need to exist, and people are most likely to search for the names of the creatures, rather than the storylet titles. SporksAreGoodForYou (talk)

File names
Hello Dracaya. I'm asking to know what you want the policy for file names and redirects to be. Right now, we aren't consistent. Some files are following the format from Beginners Wiki Guide and some are the default name in the image folder. There's been an effort to normalize the naming in User talk:Tagaziel, and since you have deletion power we'd like to have your definitive word to avoid you more work. Thanks Signapur (talk) 02:25, 31 October 2016 (UTC)


 * So is what I've done with this file http://sunlesssea.gamepedia.com/File:SS_cheeryman2small.png is create redirects with the name of the pages themselves so the {link icon} or {link qty} templates work without manually adding the pictures. (The two I created are File:SS Favours A Proposal from a Man of Business.png and File:SS Objective An Assignment for the Cheery Man.png .) Is this okay or should I quit that?

You asked about how the naming for port was supposed to be ss locations x.png. It's fine for fallen london, I guess, but for some other ports who use a shared port picture it would just end with duplicates of the same file with a different name. Also I saw how you changed the 23px pictures from the small verison to the gaz version. Isn't it better to just use the small version considering the small versions don't have borders and thus end up less "squished"? Don't know if you feel about joining the discord channel but it makes discussion a little easier because it means it's all talked about in one place instead of over multiple places. - BiscuitCookie (talk) 12:05, 5 November 2016 (UTC)

Gaz versions and Discord
Small version are actually used most in the game afaik. The story tabs on the side of the screen are the small version, items in the hold and qualities in the journal are all the small version. I haven't delved deep into the coding of the game but that those pictures are the exact same size as the small ones and having no white borders seem to point them being small ones. except the ones in the journal which are evens smaller which seems logical to use the already smallest icons for.

The gaz suffix likely is short for gazetteer meaning that it is used for the picture on the left in the gazetteer. Only example of medium ones being used that I can remember is the officer portrait in the ui at the top and on the officers page.

Triggers event using the gaz version I can't say anything about but I don't find any problem with it.

Redirects sounds fine then.

About discord we use that text channel and don't use the voice channel so that wouldn't be a problem. - BiscuitCookie (talk) 15:48, 5 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Oh, ok, I will keep that in mind. - BiscuitCookie (talk) 11:41, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

Clathermont and textlengths
I was using the already made teaser located in the files instead of the the full description because of the preferred rules set by Failbetter Games. I linked those in a comment on your profile a while back.

 * Feel free to mail Failbetter Games and ask about it. -BiscuitCookie (talk) 08:55, 22 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Oh I see now what you meant by that 250 character limit, Yeh it's more of a lazy approach for me to just copy paste the data mined teaser instead of checking if it's 250 characters or shorter. -BiscuitCookie (talk) 14:19, 22 November 2016 (UTC)
