Screenshot images[edit]
Could you please do me a massive favour; when you're uploading a screenshot from scratch, click on the "screenshot" option on the dropdown licensing box. --> (image to the right)
Also, if one weapon shares appearance with another, use the gallery1 = parameter on the weapon infobox of the item's page. Don't worry about galleries, we have a fix coming up soon that will mean whatever image you specify in the weapon infobox will be the one that appears in the gallery. Thanks.

- Will do. About the gallery1 parameter, could you check if the way I added it on http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Harpy_Totem is correct (and possibly fix it so I can have an example)? It shares it's image with the Basic Focus at http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/File:Basic_Focus.jpg. Also, with the way I've been adding them it appears that the fix is already working, if you are talking about the gallery page on which all the focuses are displayed. --BlackNova 23:40, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
- this is what I meant for the gallery parameter, I never explain things clearly :P
- As for the gallery stuff, I mean arenanet are going to give us some updates to our wiki software to allow us to display stuff directly out of the infobox onto the gallery pages - so yeah your changes work fine for the gallery pages, but if we're going to be changing how they work theres no point in uploading lots of duplicate images :D (waste of effort)
- Also, minor tip, you can do internal wikilinks by putting two square brackets around pagenames, e.g. if I wanted to link to Harpy Totem I would type [[Harpy Totem]] and it would appear as Harpy Totem. (you can then format the link by putting a pipe | after the pagename and before the second set of square brackets so for example I could display the Harpy Totem page as the harpy totem looks just like the Basic Focus .)
