I don't know if it is because of the upgrade but the autothumbnailing software doesn't seem to be working anymore. Old generated thumbnails are still usable but it isn't creating new ones. — Ian Moody (talk) 16:34, 1 January 2006 (GMT)
- To be perfectly honest, dunno what that is. >_>... you most likely know more about wiki markup than I do, so possible to describe the autothumbnailing thing? Or link to an example where it isn't working? When I see it I'll probably have an idea of what's going on. --GoldenChaos 18:18, 1 January 2006 (GMT)
- Sorry about that. The wiki software is designed (or maybe it is an extension? I don't know) to automatically create thumbnails of images when you place then on a page with a specified size. This is useful because when you just display a large image at a smaller size it looks jagged and ugly, but the wiki software actually uses a smart resize like Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro do to automatically creates a seperate smaller image that looks smooth and nice. this happens whenever you add a size into an image link like so:
- [[Image:example.jpg|200px]]
- But for some reason it won't create the new images anymore. And a couple of the old thumbnails it is getting the links to wrong such as on The Legend of Zelda and Kalle Demos. An example of it happening would be this:
- That displayed fine using [[Image:Wwmastersword.jpg|Wind Waker Link]] but
- I know what you're talking about now. I actually looked into this bug before when the software was first installed - unfortunately, I was not able to find the solution. When I have more time, I'll look into it. When it first appeared, I noticed it stood out in the gallery, where there were lots of error messages. I did what I could, but failed to get rid of the messages. I'll keep trying to fix it, though. --GoldenChaos 22:59, 1 January 2006 (GMT)
