| − | ::Still under this topic: When creating the galleries, be sure to check if there aren't any images named incorrectly. Like [[:File:DarkValkyriaLODT-SP-R-1E.jpg|this]] one, for instance. I have taken care of that one, though. Check for pics lacking a dash (<code>-</code>) between their name and the set abbreviation. <span class="nowrap">[[User:Becasita|Becasita]] <sup><small>Pendulum</small></sup></span> <span class="nowrap">([[User talk:Becasita|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Becasita|contribs]])</span> 21:17, June 18, 2016 (UTC)

| − | :::Wait, are you suggesting I should check whether each card image from a set I am working on has a wrong name even though the gallery I am editing doesn't link to them? With all due respect, I don't have time to go through every one of them. I would rather use that time for more productive things, like uploading a better image with the proper name and extension. If I notice bad image links I correct them at once, but in cases like [http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Set_Card_Galleries:Light_of_Destruction_(TCG-SP-1E) this] there was no error in the link and the exact image you mentioned wasn't included in the gallery. I have very limited free time to scan and upload images, let alone do extra work that is in no way a priority.

| − | ::::Not really. But it was just to alert you. You seem to have been checking if there are pics in JPG. Just that.
| |
| − | ::::Besides, if you want to check if an image of a card already exists, just go to [[Special:PrefixIndex]], select "File" at the "namespace" menu and type the beginning of the name of the card you want to check if there already is an image. Since you usually create the galleries to check for the pics (right?), I guess this could spare you some time. <span class="nowrap">[[User:Becasita|Becasita]] <sup><small>Pendulum</small></sup></span> <span class="nowrap">([[User talk:Becasita|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Becasita|contribs]])</span> 22:22, June 18, 2016 (UTC)

| − | ::::: Thanks, that was the function that I was looking for all along. I found a solution to the .jpg to .png extension conversion problem. There is no need spend extra time to open each picture with Paint as you mentioned earlier. There is a freeware program called IrfanView that does batch conversion between different image file formats and much more. This may help you a lot since you are frequently updating card images.

| |
| − | :::::By the way, how did you create galleries so fast? It takes me too much time to do it compared to you. Also how do you tell which layout to use for a new gallery when the other foreign language ones are different from each other? An example would be the gallery you recently corrected - [[Set_Card_Galleries:Duelist_Pack_Collection_Tin_2010_(TCG-IT-LE)]] [[User:Fensterhoff|Fensterhoff]] ([[User talk:Fensterhoff|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Fensterhoff|contribs]]) 14:07, October 27, 2016 (UTC)

| − | ::::::I've [[User:Becasita/SubPages/Regex|assembled some tools]] to help me build/update set galleries/lists, if one already exists. In that particular case, I grabbed the French one and just changed it to the Italian one.
| |
| − | ::::::The current layout skeleton can be found [[User:Dinoguy1000/boilerplate|here]]. An example of it being used is the gallery you pointed above. Note that it may not look like the same thing, but when you publish that skeleton, it will transform itself.
| |
| − | ::::::So, with both those sets of tools, what I do is: grab the entries of the files for an already existing gallery and paste it to a text editor; then, place the skeleton onto the page (you have to remove possible unnecessary parts); then, on the text editor, open the "find and replace" board (you should have this function on a text editor); I replace all the instances of the region index with the correct one (in the particular case above: <code>-FR</code> to <code>-IT</code>); then I add the correct {{t|Card name}} instance (to do this, go to the tools I use and you'll see one of the tables with what you need to find and what you need to replace (enable "regex"/"regular expressions"); finally, I copy that content to the correct place inside of the skeleton I previously placed on the page.
| |
| − | ::::::I think this may sound a bit complicated, perhaps, but allows anyone to build set galleries/lists in a matter of seconds; you just need to get used to it.

| |
| − | ::::::::It's fixed now. The problem was on the template itself. It had a way to check if the name for a specific language exists. The problem is, the Spanish name for "Invader of Darkness" was in the way (it's a very particular case, coincidentally), triggering the check, making the template think there was no Spanish name.

| − | You uploaded ten files after my message to alert you to your mistake. You kept doing it wrong, so I assumed you ignored.<br />
| |
| − | Colors are passed through the <code>alt</code> parameter. If you didn't know that, then I apologize. I should have never suggested you to use my template, since I see you didn't know how to use the {{t|OCG-TCG card image}} template properly.<br />
| |
| − | Besides, there is an explicit example at my page for [[:File:GraphaDragonLordofDarkWorld-DL18-SP-R-UE-Purple.png]], which uses a color in its name; so which part is not as explicit as you would like it to be? (Please tell me so I can make it more explicit. Thanks.)<br />
| |
| − | In case you still have doubts, for [[:File:SolemnWarning-DL18-SP-R-UE-Red.png]], for instance, just like for [[:File:SolemnWarning-DL18-SP-R-UE-Purple.png]], it would be something like:
| |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | {{subst::User:Becasita/SubPages/Templates/CardImage
| |
| − | | name = Solemn Warning
| |
| − | | fix =
| |
| − | | post =
| |
| − | | alt = 1
| |
| − | }}
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − | Or:
| |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | {{subst::User:Becasita/SubPages/Templates/CardImage

| − | | name = Solemn Warning
| |
| − | | alt = 1
| |
| − | }}
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − | (Unused parameters can be omitted.)<br />
| |
| − | Try it and you'll see <code>alt = 1</code> does work. Besides, if you had any questions or something wasn't working correctly, you just had to ask. I don't like when people do things in a wrong way and don't even care to make it right or to understand where the problem was. Or you didn't realize the files you uploaded were still asking for a rename? In case you failed to notice it, please pay more attention next time.

| − | ::: There is an example for a color in the card name but as I already mentioned, it is not explicit enough for not suggesting using the color name in the parameter itself (instead of the digit '1'). I tried the alt = 1 parameter before and after you mentioned it and it still doesn't work. It has nothing to do with not knowing how to use a template. I also tried to use the [http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/User:Dinoguy1000/boilerplate#Set_Card_Galleries Dinoguy1000's boilerplate] for Galleries as you suggested and it doesn't work as well. You say you don't like people who don't ask questions. Well you don't seem to be much different as not waiting for an answer is almost the same as not asking questions. If you stop assuming things maybe you will be less irritated by other people's actions or lack of them. Finally, I didn't check the end result after uploading the files to notice the error notice, it was my bad on that part. I will pay more attention in the future.

| − | ::::Ah, I see where the problem is. You are confusing the templates. When you're using {{tlf|OCG-TCG card image}}, the <code>alt</code> has to be filled with the word after the last dash (<code>-</code>). In this particular case, the color of the card name. When you're using my template, you just need to use <code>1</code> (or anything else, to be honest (with some exceptions)). When you were correcting the files, the template being used is {{tlf|OCG-TCG card image}}. So you had to enter "''blue''", "''purple''", etc.. If you are uploading a pic using my template, you can just use the <code>| alt = 1</code>, like it's said on my page. Like [{{fullurl:File:GraphaDragonLordofDarkWorld-DL18-EN-R-UE-Blue.png|useskin=monobook}} this], for instance (check the "File history" section to see the input).
| |
| − | ::::As for the boilerplate, I don't know why you say it didn't work. It does work, I use it myself everyday. You're probably doing something wrong, if you could explain better how you tried to use it, maybe I could help you.
| |
| − | ::::The wikia supposedly has a script to throw a yellow pop-up mini-window at the right inferior corner of the window, in case you're using the [{{fullurl:{{FULLPAGENAMEE}}|useskin=wikia}} wikia skin]. If you're using the [{{fullurl:{{FULLPAGENAMEE}}|useskin=monobook}} monobook skin], it appears as a green banner at the top of the page (if I recall correctly). So if you receive one of those while you're doing a task, it is possible you received a message about the task you were performing, thus you should check it, even if you don't want to reply immediately. I left you the message to get your attention.
