Images
Are we able to upload pictures to our user page or use any kind of coding, like HTML, to do so? AIRNIN 05:42, 9 March 2011 (PST)
- Other people have uploaded images for themselves, so I guess saying outright no isn't very fair, but remember that anyone can see and use those images. HTML won't work though, you will have to use [[File:Image.jpg]]. Oh, and don't upload advertising images, try to hotlink to other sites or post the images on inappropriate articles. sheepdean Try to speak as clearly as you can 08:19, 9 March 2011 (PST)
- I was just going to upload an image of my username that is based on the NIN logo, not an advertisement for anything, just wanted to add a sense of personalization/individuality to my user page. Where exactly would I go to upload the image? The "Upload file" bullet in the toolbox? I just want to make sure so I do screw anything up, haha. AIRNIN 11:35, 9 March 2011 (PST)
- Upload file yeah - try and make the file as small as possible to conserve server space sheepdean Try to speak as clearly as you can 12:50, 9 March 2011 (PST)
- After I attempt to upload a jpeg version of the image I wish to upload, it responds with this: "File extension does not match MIME type." How do I go about getting around this? AIRNIN 05:19, 10 March 2011 (PST)
- Im guessing you had a gif, png, bmp, or something else with an incorrect jpg extension. -Malechite 10:01, 10 March 2011 (PST)
- It's a jpeg. And kudos on the ninwiki overhaul Malechite. AIRNIN 11:48, 10 March 2011 (PST)
- Thanks! As far as the image, I'm not sure, all I can say is change the extension to .jpg instead of .jpeg, or open it in a photo program, and re-save it.
- Okay, well I have tried all the permitted file types and tried changing the extension through Paint and Photoshop on Windows with no luck... AIRNIN 14:18, 10 March 2011 (PST)

Editing
So I'm just clicking the "Random page" link on the side when I find myself bored on the computer and just going through and looking at the pages and editing whatever "mistakes" I come across and I just wanted to get some clarification on editing. For instance:
- I personally think that commas and periods should be on the outside of quotations when it comes to song titles and whatnot, like in the case: NIN performed "The Wretched", "Suck", and "March Of The Pigs". As opposed to: NIN performed "The Wretched," "Suck," and "March Of The Pigs." The song titles don't include the comma or period so I don't think it should be placed inside the quotations.
- On live performance pages I just wanted to know what should be the way to represent the start of the encore section of the performance. I've seen ~encore~, ENCORE, and encore and I just thought there should be a single way to express it.
Again, these are just little things, but I just thought we'd like to have specific/certain ways to present them. AIRNIN 18:41, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
