BTW, not that I mind that you're replacing the rank insignia that I created, but unless you created the new ones, you need to have the creator's permission to use the new ones, AND you need to credit him/her. (They DO look nicer than mine, but I gave permission for us to use mine, so I knew there wasn't a problem.) -[[User:Varaan|Varaan]] 14:41, 12 April 2007 (CDT)

Umm... where are those pips from? I'm gonna revert the Ronin roster for now (I personally like Dress uniform pips but still, the ones on the roster were closest to canon that I know) and correct the date at the bottom, but if you can dig up a credit like Varaan said... ;) - [[User:Salak|<font color="336600">Lt.JG Salak</font>]] [[Image:Ronin.jpg|USS Ronin|35px]]<sup><i>[[User talk:Salak|Talk]]</i></sup> 11:12, 13 April 2007 (CDT)
Take a look at [[118Wiki:Sand_Box#Gallery|this]]. Feel free to use it on the Ronin crew page if you want. It's an easier way to maintain a gallery.

Well I'd try and link to the site on the pic description if poss, or on the bottom of any page the pips are used on. - [[User:Salak|<font color="336600">Jay</font>]]<sup><i>[[User talk:Salak|Talk]]</i></sup> 14:39, 16 April 2007 (CDT)
== Minor edits ==
Minor edits should be;
* Correcting a spelling/grammar mistake
* Resizing an image
* Correcting a name/file destination/category
If it's not one of the above, it's not normally a minor edit. :) '''[[User:Sky Blake|♣ Deliera]]''' ▪ <small> [[User talk:Sky Blake|talk]]</small> 23:00, 25 July 2014 (CDT)

Be sure also to check your user preferences, specifically under editing preferences. You may have it set to mark all your edits as minor by default.

Ta for catching the rank mistakes. Is Parkers CMO status official? If so, the Roster needs updating. If not, crew hist should be reverted back to show her only as a Medical officer. It's a technicality I know, but Salak was the only engineer on Wallace for several months before he bacame CEO so it's not a given that the status is correct. Consistancy between the pages would be nice. Ta again - [[User:Salak|<font color="336600">Jay</font>]]<sup><i>[[User talk:Salak|Talk]]</i></sup> 22:06, 19 April 2007 (CDT)

==Pips==
== Upgrade issues with TOC class ==
Well as long as the site is mentioned somewhere. For those you tweaked, credit as "based on pips from [http://www.whateveritis.com www.whateveritis.com]" and for those straight across, just say "Pips originally from ...". Admittedly, i'm no good at crediting the pips I use either, keep forgetting (but I do credit at least on a subpage of my profile where all my uploaded pics are viewable), but RPG's generally pinch pics off other sites without permission or credit and they don't like it so if we at least try to credit on one page or even better, on the pic page, eg [[:Image:Nav-wallace.jpg]]. Probably not the best example as the credited site sadly no longer exists but still.... - [[User:Salak|<font color="336600">Jay</font>]]<sup><i>[[User talk:Salak|Talk]]</i></sup> 12:09, 21 April 2007 (CDT)

== Crew History Table issue ==
 
Took a look. It's actually not an alignment issue. What's going on is that your table is putting in another row for that last column even when you haven't specified anything because the "hidden" additional rank and date tables are adding cells. Thus, I removed all possible line breaks to prevent that. However, then there was an issue with creating new line breaks if a third or fourth rank was called for. This is a limitation with the wiki coding, but I've placed a workaround by inserting a hidden character to force a line break.
