Welcome!
Hi, and thanks for your contributions. If you require any assistance, feel free to contact me — Game widow ( talk ) 21:06, 1 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Hello there! I'm the one who suggested that this wiki be created and I'm very happy to see that come to fruition. I will do my best to populate this site with all of the necessary content, and I fully intend to submit my application to claim this wiki as its Guardian very soon. Thank you for the welcome! --Tatanko (talk) 21:08, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Great! then please just click that "Claim this Wiki" button on the left and you will get full admin rights — Game widow ( talk ) 21:09, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Oh! and before i forget, join us on slack http://www.gamepedia.com/slackinvite — Game widow ( talk ) 21:10, 1 February 2017 (UTC)


 * I just submitted a claim, and also filled out the request form for Slack. Thanks! --Tatanko (talk) 21:14, 1 February 2017 (UTC)

Main page
I had only guessed at possible link titles, so definitely don't feel bound by what i had there — Game widow ( talk ) 12:33, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
 * No problem! I'm experimenting with it. I prefer the style and layout that you put into place, and I'm doing my best to work within that and keep everything looking proper. Thanks for your guidance :) --Tatanko (talk) 13:02, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

Achievements
If the achievement names conflict with actual pagenames you'd like to create on the wiki, just let me know and I can help you sort that out. Right now, they are all just redirections to that one page — Game widow ( talk ) 16:44, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the heads-up. I'll probably turn those redirect pages into individual listings of each plant that combine their respective info from the Plants and Achievements pages, along with some info about the real-life plants they're based on. The existing links elsewhere (like the Achievements page) should be fine as-is even after I do that. --Tatanko (talk) 19:23, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

Images
Could you categorise images when you upload them? It might not seem very necessary in the beginning, but i speak from experience when i say that it's worth the extra second or 2 to toss in a category when you upload to keep everything nice and neat for future reference. If you use the MSUpload facility, it's even easier, simply do it from the category where you want the images to be and it's automatic. For example, if you create a category called, then while still in edit mode, any icons you upload from there would automatically have that category added. — Game widow ( talk ) 14:00, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the tip. Honestly, I should know better -- I just went through that headache on the DayZ wiki! --Tatanko (talk) 14:11, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

Infobox
Would you like an infobox? or some infoboxes? — Game widow ( talk ) 17:01, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I would love one for the individual plant pages! :) --Tatanko (talk) 17:34, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
 * How about Infobox_plant ? If you want to make changes, it's easily done — Game widow ( talk ) 18:20, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Looks good! I'll give it a try shortly. I may need to pick your brain on updating some of the infoboxes I use on the DayZ wiki as well. They are a weak point for me, regrettably. --Tatanko (talk) 18:21, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Question: Is there any way to default the infobox to the center or left instead of the right? --Tatanko (talk) 19:54, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Sure, it's unusual, but easy enough — Game widow ( talk ) 21:25, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Can you point me in the right direction on how to do that? Even if I could do it on a case-by-case basis that would be helpful. I want to add more content to the individual Plants pages, but may not have the additional pictures to do it for a while, and in the mean time a single box on the right hand side seems... strange to me. Your thoughts? --Tatanko (talk) 04:14, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
 * It doesn't really work case by case. You pretty much have to decide how it works all the time. I suppose it might just be habituation, but having not much more than the infobox doesn't seem strange to me. Some things people do is get the frame work for future information in place, so in the case of plants, i imagine there are some "growing instructions", or "general tips on upkeep" or something for each, so there could be sections created (even if they aren't initially filled in). If you are determined to have the infobox on the left (or in the center), then they all would be that way. It is specified in Mediawiki:Hydra.css, near the bottom (the section has a comment at the beginning identifying it). The class "infoboxtable" has "float: right;" as one of its attributes, removing that makes it line up on the left by default — Game widow ( talk ) 12:36, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your help. If I change that attribute, am I going to break anything elsewhere on the site (front page layout, as an example)? --Tatanko (talk) 13:36, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Removing that one line will only affect the infoboxes — Game widow ( talk ) 18:05, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
