ANYWAY, the reason why I so rudely edited your userpage, is that I finally made that [edit] button you proposed. After trying on-and-off for months to figure out how to make the [edit] button automated like on Wikipedia, I have found that it cannot, in fact, be done. I still had hopes of getting the link-inputting to at least run itself so that we'd only need to put <nowiki>{{Edit}}</nowiki> on every template, or perhaps <nowiki>{{Edit|PAGENAME}}</nowiki>, but substitution's a pain in the rear, and in light of [[User_talk:UntergangerPlus|another user's recent attempt]] to make a VTE template, I decided to just give up on that as too much trouble for what it's worth, and just make what I ''did'' manage to code into [[Template:Edit]] (having already made the necessary adjustments to [[MediaWiki:Common.css]] earlier this month). It can now be implemented en-mass to all the nav templates. Dunno if you're still interested in doing that, but since it was your idea originally, I thought I should let you know either-way. I ''do'' want to be part of the adding, however: I spent a lot of time on research and coding, and would like to get to partake in the fun rollout half too. The sooner we start, the better. - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 18:08, 26 October 2015 (EDT) | ANYWAY, the reason why I so rudely edited your userpage, is that I finally made that [edit] button you proposed.

:Nah, it's your userpage, so if you want the "+", definitely keep it: this was just a freak accident, and no non-admin could redo the mistake anyway, so odds are, it won't happen again. Glad you like the [edit] template! I'm free the rest of this afternoon and tomorrow afternoon, so if you're free, any time the next couple days will work for me: just let me know when you're ready. Once we start, we should try to finish in one go, however: otherwise, there will be glaring inconsistencies in the meantime (especially evident in template blocks on big pages) - plus, if we stop or take it too leisurely, other users might just swoop in and snipe the rest of them (I've seen multiple proposals sniped recently - one even got hijacked ''twice'', after the first attempt was reverted for being done wrong). The easiest way to split the load is just going through [[:Category:Navigation | :Nah, it's your userpage, so if you want the "+", definitely keep it: this was just a freak accident, and no non-admin could redo the mistake anyway, so odds are, it won't happen again.

The easiest way to split the load is just going through [[:Category:Navigation Templates]] systematically - you start with A and go down, I start with Y and go up, and we meet in the middle somewhere depending on our respective speeds. Sounds good? - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 17:35, 27 October 2015 (EDT) | ||
::I'm in EDT, so I guess 5 hours after you, according to Google. Anyway, I managed to wake up in the morning today, so if we start soonish, you shouldn't have to stay up late. If it works for you, I could just pop onto chat to coordinate the exact start time. Just gotta run and feed one of my pets first (he's a fussy eater, so it's a bit of an event, but I should be back by 10:00 EDT / 3:00 pm CET). Talk to you soon! - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 09:42, 28 October 2015 (EDT) | ::I'm in EDT, so I guess 5 hours after you, according to Google.

I noticed you are uploading Super Mario Galaxy images. I have been doing that too! Can I ask you a favor? Can you please use the PNG format? It's a superior format to JPEG and Mario Wiki users seem to prefer it over JPEG wherever possible. I have been using Dolphin Emulator to generate high quality PNG replacements for the existing images here that are in desperate need of a higher quality image. The way MediaWiki works, I can't simply upload my PNGs over JPEGs. It makes uploading new files much easier if PNG were used. I hope you understand. --[[User:Wildgoosespeeder|Wildgoosespeeder]] ([[User talk:Wildgoosespeeder|talk]]) 19:14, 22 December 2015 (EST) | I noticed you are uploading Super Mario Galaxy images.

:Saving JPEG to PNG on a fundamental level is not recommended because you are converting from a lossy compression format (JPEG) to a lossless compression format (PNG), but for Mario Wiki, it makes ''uploading new versions of files'' much easier. There do exist batch image converters. Try [http://www.faststone.org/FSViewerDetail.htm FastStone Image Viewer]. Navigate to the folder containing non-PNGs and go to '''Tools''' > '''Open Batch Convert'''. It's freeware for home users. Also, I learned about [[User:RAP/PNG|PNG Monster]], which is a tool that can batch max compress PNG files. Hope this helps reduce tedium. ;) --[[User:Wildgoosespeeder|Wildgoosespeeder]] ([[User talk:Wildgoosespeeder|talk]]) 19:36, 22 December 2015 (EST) | :Saving JPEG to PNG on a fundamental level is not recommended because you are converting from a lossy compression format (JPEG) to a lossless compression format (PNG), but for Mario Wiki, it makes ''uploading new versions of files'' much easier.
