Tool Tips Edit

Hello! My name is Leon, and I am an Administrator at Nukapedia - the Fallout wiki. I've recently been working on a few features to introduce within my home wiki, and after spending some time on WoWHead, I couldn't help but think of how nice of a feature it would be to have professional looking tool-tips for our links like they have. Unfortunately, they weren't able to share their internal code with us, and so after prowling about Wikia looking for something similar, I happened across this page.

I was wondering, though, if there was any chance that you might help us convert something similar over to the Fallout wiki? I know it's a lot to ask, but I think this would be a wonderful opportunity to present to the community in helping to improve our article-page quality. For more information, I also put out a support request] over at CC.

I thank you for reading, and I'll be looking forward to a possible response. Happy editing, and see you around Wikia! GarouxBloodline

It's not terribly hard to set up. Just tell users to add the code to a common.js page (like I did at the bottom of User:Catuse167/common.js); then, if they approve of adding it site-wide, add it to your MediaWiki:common.js page. C A T U S E 02:20, September 30, 2013 (UTC)
It's always nice getting such swift replies. ^^ Yeah, I've been messing around with it some after checking Lupin's Wikipedia page, and it is starting to seem pretty simple to set up. I'll have to see if I can get all of the parameters I've been looking for as a detailed on the support page at CC. I hope so! 67.187.96.246 02:23, September 30, 2013 (UTC)
Weird. I've added everything in and I've refreshed my browser (Opera), and yet, nothing is coming up for me when mousing over links. 40px Some Assembly Required! 02:47, September 30, 2013 (UTC)
Put it in common.js, monobook.js only works for the classic skin while common.js works in all skins. C A T U S E 03:07, September 30, 2013 (UTC)
Ah, you're right. :P I'm just being a noob. 40px Some Assembly Required! 03:09, September 30, 2013 (UTC)

How long? Edit

How long is my IRC ban?

IRC bans do not typically have a fixed duration. You are welcome to sign onto Freenode and private message me (use /query Yuanchosaan) to make your case, and I may reconsider your ban if you change your behaviour. — YuanSalut 23:58, November 20, 2013 (UTC)


Art Questions~ Edit

ACRudeBox

TALK - 01:51, December 11, 2013 (UTC)

If you feel this is better to take to DeviantArt or something, then feel free to do so. I can easily message you there too.


I am curious as to how you've gotten so good with your art (aside from a lot of practicing). Did you use any specific tutorials to learn any basics? Anyone to help you with learning at all? Reason I am asking is because I have recently picked up art again (been practicing heads and faces for the past week now) after 10 something years of not doing so, and am really wanting to improve so I can get as good as I can get, and provide some fanart for some of my favorite characters as well as my own art for my own creations. I'm not going to go into all of the specifics of why I decided to get back into art (unless you're curious about it), and it may be a while before I can upload any of my practice drawings I've been doing, but thought I'd hear what you have to say, seeing as you're a good artist yourself. ^^

Sure, messaging here is fine. I'm usually on the IRC, so that might be a better place to have a conversation about art, if you have specific questions. I'd like to hear why you've gotten back into it.


I don't use tutorials, as I've always found them difficult to follow, but I have looked at some art books. I use Barrington Barber, and I've heard good things about Andrew LoomisI used to go to art lessons about once a fortnight/month. They were fairly informal - the teacher would give us a photograph or drawing to copy, using what materials we felt like. Then she would wander around the classroom, correcting our technique and giving us guidance. I learnt a lot doing this, so that's been my method for a long time now: look at references, and work out how to draw it from there.

Might be easier for me here since it's easier to keep track of what's being said, so I'll stick here. DA would only be if I ever wanted to look back at the conversations (since convos here can end up archived and whatnot).


Ah...so in a way it's kinda like copy art but better?? I tried to do that myself long ago, if you've seen my art on DeviantArt at all then you've probably noticed some of said art.


http://xenomic.deviantart.com/art/Nowi-Line-Art-417449194


If you haven't seen it yet, this was the first image I did when I restarted my art. Granted, this wasn't with paper and pencil like I normally do (and I DID redo this on paper and pencil, still took 2 1/2 hours to do). This character, along with two other characters (Tiki and Nah, all from Fire Emblem: Awakening) are kinda the big reasons why I got back into doing art. They're some of my favorite characters of all time right now (which is amazing in itself seeing as I never played Fire Emblem at all, nor don't know if I will, and only seen videos and stuff for these characters), mostly due to their personalities and characters themselves, and I've seen some really REALLY good fanart for them (Check http://shinxenomic.imgur.com/all if you're curious), and I really wanted to improve my art so that I could one day maybe do decent fanart for these three lovely ladies. Other reasons include: Having people do art for me, which I appreciate, but I know that -I- should probably be doing it myself, and wanting to make my own characters, also seen in my DeviantArt page, look a lot better than they currently do. So yeah, there's the main reasons why I got back into it.


Originally, when I started drawing up until about 10 years ago, I did nothing but copy art. Not putting paper over the image and tracing, no. Actually copying what I see with my own eyes onto the paper itself. Safe to say, I got pretty good at that...but I never really LEARNED anything from it I'm afraid. So whenever I tried to do my own stuff without references at all, it just never went well. Even that Nowi line art you see, I did from this image:


http://fireemblem.wikia.com/wiki/File:Nono_and_Grego.jpg


I also did, on paper and pencil, a body art for her, which turned out exceptionally well (not uploaded yet but will be scanned and uploaded later once I can do so), based on this image:


http://fireemblem.wikia.com/wiki/File:Nono_Kakusei.png


(I know there are people that hate her, but I find her adorable myself, and she's a really good character. I really like her personality a lot).


So for the past week, after I did the two copy arts for Nowi here, I decided it was time to actually start learning how to draw proper. I looked up some tutorials on heads first, both by Mark Crilley on YouTube and Naschi on DeviantArt. Granted, it was a good start, but then I started to do it in a wrong way:


http://xenomic.deviantart.com/art/Rough-Sketch-418693113


Granted, this was also done in Photoshop with mouse so it's not exactly how it looks on paper and pencil, but it's eerily similar, and the steps were what I used to do. Now that I learned to draw the head first, THEN do the eyes/ears/nose/mouth, it's turning out a lot better. Yesterday and today, I tried an exercise in which I would look at an image of a character (in this case, it would be this: http://imgur.com/JSAxsXN ), then went upstairs away from the computer, and tried to draw what I could remember. I sit down and immediately forget what I was drawing but tried anyways. First time, it came out decently but had issues. Today's went even better than yesterday's and I feel like I'm finally improving. I intend on learning the hair and face more so I can do various faces and heads for various females (I haven't tried males yet) before moving onto the shoulders/arms/hands/torso next, which will lead into the legs/feet, then into full body proportions (which is what I'm trying to lean into), then into poses, then into clothes. Right now, I'm at the point where I need NO guidelines to do heads or faces anymore, though I still have to do some things here and there to make sure that I'm placing things as properly as I can.


Reason I stopped 10 years ago was again, because I wasn't learning how to actually draw proper, and I didn't have anyone to help me nor any way of getting tutorials, so I ended up quitting in frustration. Saddens me a bit, as I wonder how I would've been now had I kept going...but what's past is past. Just gotta keep looking forward! The only things that frightens me a bit (aside from full body proportions and poses lol...) are people forgetting who Tiki, Nowi, and Nah are by the time I get decent with art, and me not wanting to do art for them if I ever get decent enough, seeing as they're the reasons I'm doing this in the first place. ;__;

LP time Edit

So, I arranged with the other two for either 8 or 9pm may time, not sure which of those is 7am your time? And while 8pm is slightly more convenient for me because I'll be less likely to keep people awake while LPing, I believe that's 6am for you, and I'd much rather do 7am your time if it's easier for you. So, just checking which time?

May I ask you something, Yuan Edit

I need some help updating music file and much more from a another wikia, mind stopping by and help out, let me know if you are interested to help out :( have a nice weekend Eliskuya2 (talk) 03:35, November 29, 2014 (UTC)

Sorry, I have no knowledge of that series. :( Best of luck. — YuanSalut 04:17, November 29, 2014 (UTC)
no that wikia is mine, and its not basic on nothing, I am trying fix the wikia to make it look like this one, like music, ect. and I may need help with that, that's why I asked :( but thanks for helping Eliskuya2 (talk) 14:34, November 29, 2014 (UTC)
Can you explain fully what your problem is? Most of your "make it look like this one" problem is likely solvable by just copy pasting and adapting templates over here. For the music one, we use {{audio}} and upload sound files into that. If you want to copy other templates, such as the Talk and Navbox templates, you probably want to Special:Contact Wikia to ask them about downloading Scribunto. You may need to recolor them for your wiki, of course, and copy some of our CSS or JavaScript over in some cases, and we would be happy to help if you need help with any of those things. Also, it's not your wiki.--Magicite-ffvi-ios Technobliterator TC 14:43, November 29, 2014 (UTC)
well I am trying add music, like say background music, to make the place more relaxing, however, I am sill a rookie, with things, but hey I am trying edit the Directory bar too, you are more then welcome to come over and help out if you like, I'll be glad to hire some help and let you help out, that's why they call it being helpful :) Eliskuya2 (talk) 18:04, November 29, 2014 (UTC)

Affiliation?Edit

Hello, Yuan. This is Xion4ever. It's been a while. ^_^ I'm an admin over at the "new" KHWiki. I'm here to ask for a proper affiliation, or, in the least, to find where we stand on such grounds. I noticed that you guys link back to us on your articles using "Template:KHWiki," but do not have us listed over on your affiliates page. Is there any chance we could be on that list? I know that we also link to the FFWiki on articles, but lack a proper affiliation on our affiliates page as well. If the only thing stopping us from being proper affiliates is a mere site image and link, I can provide those right away. I apologize that we keep bothering you guys with this...I hope this will be the last time we do. I thank you in advance for the consideration and help. If there's anything you need me to do or if you have questions, just say so. Thanks!--Xion4ever 23:17, January 5, 2015 (UTC)

Sure, there shouldn't be any problem with that. Sorry for the late reply - got a new laptop and haven't signed into everything yet. — YuanSalut 10:25, January 9, 2015 (UTC)
Edit: you are linked on our main page, I see!
Hi, I'm KeybladeSpyMaster, another admin at the Kingdom Hearts Wiki. I was wondering (since I made the image, and I tend to be in charge of these images) whether the affiliate image found on our Affiliates page that I just made is okay with you guys, or if your wiki perhaps has a different idea in mind. We're really appreciative of your willingness to affiliate with our wiki. Thanks! KeybladeSpyMaster (talk) 02:30, January 13, 2015 (UTC)
Hi there. Looks great! Thanks for affiliating with us. — YuanSalut 21:47, January 14, 2015 (UTC)

Hello, 

    This is going to sound strange for sure, but I come to you as a small business owner. We're debating changing our business logo to more accurately reflect our services and achieve more high profile clients, and as part of that, we want to get in contact with Square Enix's legal department about possibly paying them to utilize a likeness of the FF1 and 2 red mage in our logo.
    Would you be able to offer any advice and/or give me a good starting point with which I could go off of about talking to their legal team about this? I've already dispatched a letter to the Game Grumps about putting me in contact with Hironobu Sakaguchi as well as my friend whom works in New York for a production agency, but any help you can give me regarding this issue would be massively helpful.

Love, luck and lollipops,

Joshua N. Ware CEO, RM Holdings

Notification BoxEdit

Hey Yuan, I'm wondering how you made that notification box down in the corner? You know, the one about the FFV Let's Play? Thanks! Kamikaze839 00:28, September 17, 2015 (UTC)

I think that's wiki-magic from JBed. One of the things we can edit from another page. Try asking him? — YuanSalut 12:42, September 18, 2015 (UTC)
