Welcome to Warhammer - Age of Sigmar - Lexicanum! We hope you will contribute much and well. You will probably want to read the [Lexicanum:Help help pages]. Again, welcome and have fun! Ashendant (talk) 07:22, 7 February 2018 (MST)

New Articles

I assume these new articles are about the Stormhost? Either way they are of very poor quality. If not fixed I will have to delete them. To be fixed they need:

  • Sources with pagenumber or chapter
  • Categories
  • Not be a copy paste

Personally I wouldn't mind fixing it myself, but without a source I can't do that.--Ashendant (talk) 09:18, 7 August 2019 (MDT)

I will add some sources.--User:Xking

I just edited one of the pages, Knights of Azyr could you look at it and fix some stuff. Also I usually edit pages that have already been made, so how do you make new sections within a page and add images? also how to make links on here.--Xking (talk) 11:11, 7 August 2019 (MDT)

Hey :) I edited the page - I find the best way to start is copy other similar pages - its more likely the basic format will be right. to make a section use ==Secton Name== hope that helps. --Viktor (talk) 11:28, 7 August 2019 (MDT)
Can you have a look at my edit of the Knights page and add the missing elements to your new pages - categories and points - best thing to do is open it in a separate tab, click edit and then copy paste what you need to your other pages. Then close the page you are copying from WITHOUT saving. --Viktor (talk) 12:16, 7 August 2019 (MDT)

How do you upload Images?--Xking (talk) 13:04, 7 August 2019 (MDT)

Look in the Navigation bar to the left and open "Upload File" in a new tab - also shows you what to use to post the images. Still need to finish those new pages with source numbers. Have a look at your Sons of the Gladius page to see what i added. --Viktor (talk) 13:18, 7 August 2019 (MDT)

I see that Viktor has been helping you with this. Here's a few observations.

  • Sometimes one paragraph is better than 2: Comparision
  • I did the following edits to the Crimson Seraph article. Checking this link should help you get organized.
    • You need to bold the names and title. Use the '''thing you want to bolden''' to bold things.
    • Your caps are a bit random. Work on that.
    • You add too many empty spaces.
    • Sources need to have a comma between the pagenumber and the source.
    • The sources need to have an {{Endn|?}} before them and a [?] in the text that leads to the corresponding source. The ? must be replaced with the correct number.

Either way you're starting to get how this works. You started adding sources and categories. Just keep improving and in no time you will be able to do this easily. Keep checking my edits and you'll see what you're doing wrong.--Ashendant (talk) 14:07, 7 August 2019 (MDT)

Here are a few more tips and questions:

  • Every entry in a list must be sourced. You forgot to add the number to a few.
  • I assume Azyrite Arbiters and every other Stormhost you have been updating are on page 87-88? If this is a double spread page you can also list more than one page in a row by doing it like this: ", pg. 87-90".
  • Tips when uploading images:
    • Name of files must be specific, but also easy to find. Using the Bloodied Dawn as an example I moved "BloodiedDawn.PNG" to "Bloodied Dawn colors 01.png". The file type(PNG) must be lower case. There must be space in between the words. And there must be a two digit number on them. Only admins can move file names, so usually you can only get it right on the first time. If there's a issue with the name send me a message.
    • Images must have a category. Normally it's the Stormast Eternals images category, but in this specific case is the Stormcast Eternals color schemes.
    • Images must have a specific source. You need to put a pagenumber on their pagenumbers.
    • This is not that important, but images that do not have margins, should have a little white to them on all sides. Again this is not all that important it's just so it looks good.
  • I will be removing the "THE" from the start of article names. It's safe to assume that in most cases the "The"'s are not supposed to be there.

Overall you already show great improvement. Continue your good work!--Ashendant (talk) 06:26, 8 August 2019 (MDT)

It seems I've already uploaded these images before. It's usually good to check the appropriate category(in this case Category: Stormcast Eternals color schemes) to see if a image has already been uploaded or not. I'll need to see which images have better quality and remove one.--Ashendant (talk) 06:33, 8 August 2019 (MDT)

Forum

I've created a Forum so we all can have a more indepth, communal discussion on edits and updates to the Lexicanum, while at the same time make it easier to follow. Check it on the Lexicanum:Forum article.--Ashendant (talk) 14:14, 16 November 2019 (MST)
