[edit]Image page name
Peter
found a pix title Image:P&p1871frith5118.jpg (5 links) by searching the "Most Linked to images"
However - presume the & is cusing problem as when I try to open it it just says filename="P"
Can we fined the 5 links and rename it accordingly?

[edit]Picture sizes
Comment in W:The Den Q: R U saying me changing to 755px is wrong? I can see the logic in what you are saying Okay = will hold off further changes in this resepct - all previously done are limited to the Pictorial pages and base equivs at the moment. Can I just put forward this arguement - and request feedback
Unless users have the screen settings to larger than 1152x then there are going to be a considerable number of pictures that will need scroll right to see them whole. Setting at 755 (and I think this affected actually less than half as some are smaller) ensures any screen set at 1024px will get all the picture. Higher res will show an admittedly smaller pix, but if they want full size they can click thru to image page. Lower res will still need scroll. I see it as presenting a uniform / professional style??
As said - no problem with what your saying - just putting another point across Keith 01:02, 3 March 2007
[edit]Searching for Images
Peter - How do I search for the images I have previously uploaded to apply to appropriate copyright notice? Stewart 08:21, 3 March 2007
- A manual search means that I think I have picked up all my images and tagged them. --Stewart 10:41, 6 March 2007

[edit]Template:ImageCaption
Peter, I have created Template:ImageCaption, however it is still show the sub heading edit tags. Is there any way to surpress these. Look at one of Tim's pictures Image:05-04-03 1edit.JPG, or mine Image:122Comb-060103.jpg as an example. --Stewart 12:10, 22 April 2007
- Peter - It might also be useful to incorporate the template into the upload process - but that is probably a future development to think about. --Stewart 12:31, 22 April 2007
[edit]FR Co. Pictures
On the pages I have culled from the old Company website, most of the pics I believe to be from Ian Butters, as an FR employee. However, given the situation in that area, I have never credited as such. This results in "Unknown Photographer". I have just changed 1 to show [[FR Co.]]. Comment please on the way to go on this (also posted to Pencefn id) --Keith 23:08, 21 May 2007
- As a result Keith's message, I have adjusted the photographer ID to FR Company on the trial image Image:FRCo-Interactive 2002-03.jpg, and put a filter on this particular photographer ID on the template to point to Category:Photos from FR Company Library. Reply also posted to Peter. --Stewart 00:36, 22 May 2007
[edit]Editing Sections
In case you have forgot .....
If you try to edit a section on a page then that section is duly edited.... However - rest of page is deleted. Also if you use the + option at top of page - all you put in new appears - the rest disappears!!! --Keith
[edit]Possible adverse side-effect from recent update
Peter,
As part of my ongoing work with the copyright status for images, I have added a test to Template:ImageCaption that puts the image in Category:Copyright status not provided. I have put some code into the template that piped the name of the photographer under the image instead of the filename. This evening (after the recent Wiki update) I noted that the filenames are now showing, although the images are in photographer order. Any thoughts? --Stewart 22:54, 3 August 2007
[edit]Not able to upload pictures
Peter
I have tried several times to upload a picture file but every time it takes me back to the upload page with the following message:-
File names must be at least one letter. (IN RED)
The filename is much more than i character and I have tried various different names to check it isn't me!

[edit]Deletion proposed template
Peter, I applied the following template to two pages I created back in May 2007 which did not really work.
{{subst:Deletion proposed|Experiment that did not work out to produce template documentation following the Wikipedia example}}
However ever time I previewed the page the template repeated, although I could not work out why when I looked at the code. Thoughts? --Stewart (talk) 19:07, 14 December 2007
- and why the template appear on Template:Cite book & Template:Template doc when I did not apply it; and it is not on the page history? The date on the template is also the viewing date. --Stewart (talk) 19:12, 14 December 2007
[edit]Image corruption
Hi Peter
Having finished updating the words on all the fairlies, I tried to get a copy of an image of Tal & WP that is on the double heading page. It was fine as a thumbnail, but when you expand it, it is corrupted with the contents from the home page on the left side. Whenever you press anything you go back to the home page.
I rechecked this on the double heading page and found the same problem (with all the additional photos)
I tried uploading the file again from my computer and the wiki surprised me by putting the same corruption on my new image as I uploaded it!
Frustrated of Thorpeness
P.S. I have since found this happens on ANY photograph when you double click on it to enlarge it to full size

[edit]Image corruption
Sorry Peter - I checked at work yesterday and, as you suggested, found no problem. I havn't been able to check again at homeChrisjones (talk) 08:33, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
Checking at home - I still get the same thing og the contents and roundal appearing 'over' the photograph when I maximise it - this is on my laptop with OS 9.2. Will try with OS10 tonightChrisjones (talk) 11:47, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit]Image corruption?

When this wiki was running Usemod, did you have WikiWords enabled, or was that functionality disabled? WikiWords look LikeThis. Dagoth Ur, Mad God (talk) 14:37, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
[edit]Wiki_Talk:About
On Wiki talk:About, you mentioned, quoting said page, "If someone really wants the software, they can get it from me". Does that mean you can give them the source code from the "wiki.pl" file on request? NOTE: Do not get angry. This is not a repeat of User_talk:Dagoth_Ur,_Mad_God#Moving_Festipedia.
