You might want to start Editing in Source (button on top in Edit) as it shows everything in plain text. Just copy/paste the infobox from finished page, change it to fit the page you're doing and that fixes the problem. --Kuopiofi (talk) 04:53, May 8, 2017 (UTC)

Hi. Hope you are well. Your articles are pretty cool. Though you seem to have had some difficulty with your pages, especially with the infoboxes. It can be difficult. I had to learn on my own how to do it. There is a the infobox page that has a template for adding to a page. What I do is make the bare bones of hte page (no infobox). After publishing, I go to the page and add the infobox using the template. You need to use the classic editor page and go to the source page, adding the template at the top. Also, don't forget to use proper images that are big enough to see; otherwise, it won't be good. Hope this helps. Kusarigama (talk) 02:38, May 17, 2017 (UTC)

You have to save the image in your pictures, making sure it is big enough. On the source page of the classic editor, you press photo when you want to add a picture on the image part. You can browse among the photos on the site or use the one you've downloaded. Afterwards, you choose a good imagewidth and continue forth. Once you get the hang of it, it comes pretty easily. Hope this helps. Kusarigama (talk) 17:39, May 17, 2017 (UTC)

When editing a page, the Edit button at the top left has the options of History and Classic Editor. By pressing Classic Editor, you go to the page where you can add the infobox and visuals. When creating a page, the italics and bold functions are on the top. In Classic Editor, on the source page (top right corner option), you make things italicized by putting them parentheses with two apostrophes flanking either side of the word. Make it bold by flanking either side with three apostrophes. As for imagewidth, the size should be between 240 and 400. To get an idea, go to a page and check out the Classic Editor function without actually editing anything. The visual experience should give you an idea. Or check out the page creation section of the site. Or see if an admin can help. Good luck. Kusarigama (talk) 01:11, May 18, 2017 (UTC)

Stop asking to rename the physiology pages.
Please stop asking to rename all the physiology pages to mimicry, its already in the also called so there is no need to change it.SageM (talk) 02:24, May 18, 2017 (UTC)SageM

They have always been the same thing on this wikia. Thats how they work here.SageM (talk) 02:31, May 18, 2017 (UTC)SageM

Every single physiology power on this wikia has mimicry in the also called, and it will always be that way. We aren't going to change things now.

And yes, they are essentially the same thing.SageM (talk) 02:35, May 18, 2017 (UTC)SageM

For the record, next time you create physiology/mimicry based on object, use Inanimate Object Physiology as guideline instead of Elemental Mimicry. --Kuopiofi (talk) 05:10, May 20, 2017 (UTC)

You mean that "give the pic real, descriptive name"? You do that before posting or by renaming the pic here, go to the pics page => click arrow on the right end of Edit and use Rename. --Kuopiofi (talk) 04:18, May 23, 2017 (UTC)

Okay. So when it comes to pictures, you find a picture you want to use for an article, you give it a name that can be searched for, and save it (Save As) under that name. They won't allow for any number sequences on the files. Secondly, is there a specific name that you want the Digital Flight article to be named? I saw in your comment that you were having issues with the name. Kusarigama (talk) 02:42, May 25, 2017 (UTC)

I don't think they will let you rename a picture that is already named in the wiki's archives. You could find the same picture online, save it under a name you want and use it, but that might be a lot of work. If it is saved under a certain name on the site, that's probably how it is going to be. Kusarigama (talk) 03:44, May 25, 2017 (UTC)

That's never happened to me and this is the first time I've heard something like that so I've got no idea what would cause it. I think you need to contact Community Central and report a bug. --Kuopiofi (talk) 04:15, May 25, 2017 (UTC)

Associations of the pages you create really aren't. I've had to fix every one of them.

Roughly half of the infoboxes are still wrong.

BTW, have you tried using Source to Edit? It shows everything in text which makes noting/fixing problems easier. --Kuopiofi (talk) 15:19, May 25, 2017 (UTC)

You'd get rid of all your problems by using Source to Edit, it shows everything in plain text. --Kuopiofi (talk) 05:16, May 27, 2017 (UTC)

Just check any finished page in Source to see what it looks like. As pure text it's very easy to see where everything should be/look by checking finished pages and then using Preview to check what effect changes have. --Kuopiofi (talk) 08:42, May 27, 2017 (UTC)

In Edit use Source => go to finished page => copy/paste the infobox => change the parts that you need to make it fit your page => use Preview to check if it is right => if wrong go to finished page and compare to see where the problem is and make changes => repeat Preview/change as needed => hit Publish.

When the page isn't about elements, don't add elemental powers unless there's no alternative. --Kuopiofi (talk) 17:59, May 27, 2017 (UTC)

Go to the page of the elemental power you plan to add, if it variation of umbrella power it's on top of the page.

How about if there's elements in categories? -_- --Kuopiofi (talk) 21:01, May 27, 2017 (UTC)

Which one? --Kuopiofi (talk) 04:19, May 28, 2017 (UTC)

For a start simply go to Elemental Manipulation page and see what those elemental powers are. Category:Elemental Manipulations sub-categories is also good way to go. --Kuopiofi (talk) 05:14, May 28, 2017 (UTC)

Understandable mistake as many of your latest pages look like they're right. It's problem on the coding. --Kuopiofi (talk) 17:19, May 29, 2017 (UTC)

Take a look at the changes I made on your last pages. --Kuopiofi (talk) 19:14, May 29, 2017 (UTC)

Proper Formating
OK, so there is this page on the wikia that you can use as a reference for making your pages. http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Page_Creation_and_Details

You can use the proper format by going into the source and copying all of the info you need.

The info that your pages lack is this part

You need to copy and paste this whole part for the proper infobox.

In this part you just simply need to fill in the blanks and edit it to fit your picture. CrabHermit (talk) 21:09, May 29, 2017 (UTC)

No problem, even I had problems like this on my first page. CrabHermit (talk) 21:33, May 29, 2017 (UTC)

If you mean copy/paste, then go ahead. --Kuopiofi (talk) 04:12, May 30, 2017 (UTC)

Go to History of those pages and see what I've been doing to fix the messes. Or just go to Regent Activity and click the page-icon on the right side of Edited page, that shows the last change.

To find bigger pic: open the pic on full size => go to google => open Picture Search (or whatever the local name is) => search the pic => choose the bigger on=> profit! --Kuopiofi (talk) 05:21, June 14, 2017 (UTC)

Use Google search for pics, you drag the pic to the search bar on the middle of the page and it finds similar ones.

If you don't have link to pic search on the right upper corner of Google, you give the pic name on normal search, hit enter and when it gives you list of links there's cluster of pics near top of the page. click the link to that. After that you can drag the pic to the search bar on the left upper corner and it searches similar ones to you.

In both cases first option is the pics similar to the one you dragged to the bar. Find the one that is big enough. --Kuopiofi (talk) 20:14, June 14, 2017 (UTC)

Let me put it like this: we have canine physiology but no wolf. Chalk is one type of mineral, there isn't enough difference to minerals to justify it. --Kuopiofi (talk) 17:01, June 23, 2017 (UTC)

To be absolutely blunt, because people have tendency to follow the trend and having one power is considered justification enough. I really don't want every mineral/type of rock, chemical combinations and others like that get their own page.

And yes, it would happen. Lordship powers started from single example for example, same goes to periodic elements. --Kuopiofi (talk) 19:39, June 23, 2017 (UTC)

Strange... well, net and it's reliability. --Kuopiofi (talk) 14:54, June 27, 2017 (UTC)

Considering that guns includes also artillery and thus cannons, I'm trying to figure if it's already covered by Gun Protrusion and thus at most mean Editing GP or different enough to deserve it's own page...

We do have Artillery Proficiency but no manipulations, so it's bit open. --Kuopiofi (talk) 15:56, June 29, 2017 (UTC)

See the wiki-link above, scroll down to artillery. --Kuopiofi (talk) 19:59, June 29, 2017 (UTC)

21. If you make a general type of change on power that is one of a series of similar powers (for example one of the Construct Creations, Attack Powers, etc.), it's your job to add/make the same change in every page of the series.

In this case, if you want to connect oil and earth you make change in every oil-page and add them to respective earth-based pages. --Kuopiofi (talk) 17:21, July 10, 2017 (UTC)

Good question, mineral oils definitely are but animal/plant based ones aren't... I'll have to rule on the side of not in this case, but they could be added to those pages as Associations. --Kuopiofi (talk) 18:08, July 10, 2017 (UTC)

Oil Attacks already exists.

No idea about more users. --Kuopiofi (talk) 20:38, July 10, 2017 (UTC)

I deleted them because after I did some research on the so called "known users" and it turns out that none of them quite fit the powers. Imouto 23:12, July 12, 2017 (UTC)Imouto-tan

The general explanation can be found here and there. DYBAD (talk) 00:26, July 13, 2017 (UTC)

Ask the deleter, I didn't find out before checking deleted list.

Not having users is just something that adds the odds of deleting power that is already on the list. --Kuopiofi (talk) 04:19, July 13, 2017 (UTC)

It's just something that adds on the already teetering power, not the main reason. --Kuopiofi (talk) 04:50, July 13, 2017 (UTC)

The Paint Absorption page was deleted, for the following reasons :

- Overly specific, no particular usefulness/identity

I'm not sure how contributive Mud Generation/Attacks would be either, best take the time to come up with something more special/useful.

DYBAD (talk) 01:16, July 16, 2017 (UTC)

Depending on how usable it is. If it's sort of blah it has pretty good change of disappearing. --Kuopiofi (talk) 04:30, July 16, 2017 (UTC)

And you were told about it by the one who did it. Why not take it DYPAD as he's the one who deleted the page? --Kuopiofi (talk) 06:06, July 16, 2017 (UTC)

Ask DYPAD, both for reason and returning. --Kuopiofi (talk) 18:37, July 16, 2017 (UTC)

Well, there you go. --Kuopiofi (talk) 20:13, July 16, 2017 (UTC)

I'm sorry Nick, but the page was deleted for a reason, which was explicitely specified to you in a previous Talk Page message. DYBAD (talk) 21:15, July 16, 2017 (UTC)

Contributiveness is the essence of Wikis, and to ensure new pages effectively do is part of an admin's duties.

If the SPW was still in its early stages and lots remained to be done, there would be more room for tolerance. But there are literally thousands of pages now, already covering almost everything superpowers can reasonably do. So each non-contributive new addition ends up compromising the whole instead of furthering it, by diluting its overall quality and fattening it with increasingly meaningless surpluses.

So genuine contributiveness is a legitimate requirement at this late stage, and if you put the Wiki's best interests above your own wishes, you will understand it. DYBAD (talk) 23:12, July 16, 2017 (UTC)

No worries, restrictive changes are always difficult to deal with, and I understand how frustrating this one can be.

This accumulation of uncontributive powers is the exact reason contributiveness is now an official requirement.

Not sure about the fate of past powers at the moment, the priority being to stop the aforementioned accumulation.

I think the Wiki is already in its final stage, in which only powers that actually contribute to the cosmology will find their place in it.

DYBAD (talk) 01:21, July 17, 2017 (UTC)

No after, hence "final" stage ^ ^ This rule will ensure that the Wiki's overall quality isn't watered down any further, and that new additions actually improve upon it. DYBAD (talk) 03:27, July 17, 2017 (UTC)

90% of the uncontributive new powers have been mass-produced by about 4-5 people for quite a while now, so I wouldn't worry about popularity. Most of us realized that making good powers has become difficult, and only create new pages when the idea seems good enough.

The new policy is about getting these same 4-5 people to do exactly that. DYBAD (talk) 04:05, July 17, 2017 (UTC)

All big changes feel this way, it always takes a little while to adjust to them. Afterwards, you will just think more, create less, and make better pages. DYBAD (talk) 04:33, July 17, 2017 (UTC)

OK. --Kuopiofi (talk) 04:14, July 20, 2017 (UTC)

She can certainly create and direct it, but manipulation on the level of shaping the matter is something I doubt she can do directly. --Kuopiofi (talk) 20:06, July 22, 2017 (UTC)

Aand? --Kuopiofi (talk) 20:30, July 23, 2017 (UTC)

Because creation/generation exactly and only that, it makes matter/energy and you have no control except possibly amount/intensity and where it goes. So only things you can do are essentially point and let go (blast) or spreading the matter/energy from yourself (aura).

Attack Powers/Construct Creations take control and that's something that creation/generation powers simply don't have.

"snow is made of tiny ice crystals. you can make shapes out of it and its generally soft. Hail is just frozen raindrops that can range from marbles to baseballs and is way harder than snow."?

Here. No signature under it. --Kuopiofi (talk) 14:17, July 24, 2017 (UTC)

Oo-kay... seriously, where do you get this idea I think snow and hail are same? --Kuopiofi (talk) 15:58, July 24, 2017 (UTC)

"Bit too specific I think." means "hail is too similar to snow"?

You don't have any page dealing with hail in your Deleted user contributions. --Kuopiofi (talk) 18:44, July 24, 2017 (UTC)

I'm seriously trying to think how why not relates to my last post... --Kuopiofi (talk) 19:07, August 1, 2017 (UTC)

If you're making page that is Variation of the power you copy/paste, that's very very lazy. And seriously makes one to wonder how much effort you're willing to put on that page.

Especially since the pages I'm talking are already so close that I rather considered deleting them. --Kuopiofi (talk) 19:37, August 1, 2017 (UTC)
