Unexpected Behavior

Image Galleries

Image Galleries are now standard (the same as used on Wikipedia). Both heights and widths can be specified and "File:" or "Image:" needs to start each line. This breaks galleries that used the Wikia format and they will need to be manually updated. This is the case anytime you see a gallery that gives the file names in plain text instead of displaying the images. --Tlosk 23:41, 8 October 2010 (EST)

UPDATE: I believe I have found all instances that were broken and fixed them to use the correct tag format. But if you see any more instances, all you need to do is add "File:" at the start of each line. --Tlosk 01:25, 10 October 2010 (EST)

Image Attribution

In order to simplify importing the nearly 40,000 images a maintenance bot named "See Page History" was used. This means that currently on almost all image pages that name is given as the uploader and the date is a few days ago. You can still see the actual contributor that uploaded the image as well as the true date by clicking on the History page. Within a week or so I'll be editing the database directly with a script that will update this information so that the true uploader is shown on the image page as well as the history page. --Tlosk 01:25, 10 October 2010 (EST)
