Could you be more specific when you upload screenshots. The names aren't just for using once, it sometimes helps people find the images they may want when searching for them. Any name if more or less fine, just be more creative than WoWScrnShot 030608 002158 (the default date file name). Please see [[WoWWiki:Image guidelines#Naming|image guidelines]].

Alpha images

Please do not upload alpha images to the wiki, they will be deleted. See Burning Crusade DMCA Takedown Notice. Sorry! :( -- Kirkburn (talk) 10:06, 1 September 2006 (EDT)

Screenshots

Could you be more specific when you upload screenshots. The names aren't just for using once, it sometimes helps people find the images they may want when searching for them. Any name if more or less fine, just be more creative than WoWScrnShot 030608 002158 (the default date file name). Please see image guidelines. Thankyou, User:CoobraSssssssssssssssssssssssss User:CoobraFor Pony! {TDon't hiss at me.CIf you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all.) 06:55, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Sorry about that I tend to change file names but at 2 AM in the morning I somewhat forgot :p Leviathon 13:25, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Ref usage

If you put <ref></ref> around a link, it is broken and unclickable unless you put an accompanying <References /> at the bottom (true subsection optional) to create the list out of the selected links.--Sandwichman2449 (talk) 00:33, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Now I know :p Leviathon (talk) 06:24, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
And knowing is half the battle.../sings G.I. JOE..... sorry..I couldn't resist. User:CoobraSssssssssssssssssssssssss User:CoobraFor Pony! {TDon't hiss at me.CIf you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all.) 22:16, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

RE: Magnataur Image

Ah, didn't know they updated their page recently... and this is why its asked to state your source when you upload screenshots, especially images from WotLK.

Beta?

Are u in beta mate? --User:ShandrisForever 19:53, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

I may not get my key till next week. Rushster was told EU press won't be getting their keys till next week so unless the US random invites start today and I get one I won't be in till next week. :( Leviathon (talk) 19:55, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
I'm speaking of the maps, where do theese screenies come from?
They come from the beta. Leviathon (talk) 20:22, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
Source? Who's playing the beta if not you?

Teza. Just look at the world of raids gallery. Leviathon (talk) 20:45, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for all the maps. They have been replaced with co-ordinate safe ones (i.e. straight from the files), but the work was certainly appreciated. Kirkburn  talk  contr 21:07, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Was told the press keys are getting ready to get sent out Soon™ so hopefully I will get mine sometime this weekend. Leviathon (talk) 03:21, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

I think it's unlikely they'll be sent out over the weekend unfortunately - I mean, Blizz does have weekends too :P This means I won't be in either :( Kirkburn  talk  contr 10:34, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

Kronus → Loken

Rather than copy paste, you should move the page so that all links referring to Kronus would have been redirected to Loken as well, also so the talk page gets moved. But mainly so the page history is included. User:CoobraSssssssssssssssssssssssss User:CoobraFor Pony! {TDon't hiss at me.CIf you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all.) 05:28, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

I was going to make a addition to the Kronus talk page (but forgot) saying someone should do that as I have absolutely no idea how to do that. Sorry about that. Leviathon (talk) 14:15, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
Ah, well at the top of the screen are tabs, one labeled  move , simply click that and specify the new page name and reason for the move. See Help:Moving a page for more details. Thankyou for the quick response.

Your opinion is desired
