Updating List of Missions

In the New Recruit thread I asked where one receives the recipes to craft Warm and higher fire crystals. The response was that they were mission rewards . However the wiki 'List of Missions' page does not include them at ranks higher than Soldier.

Undaunted and hoping to help ... I updated the mission list adding missing icons and items that I know about from the current version of the game up to rank 5-1. As I am a Soldier and plan to stay one for at least a few more weeks ... I leave the rest to 'you' to update.

What was added:

icons for Cracked/Dim/Warm fire crystals
icons for motes and stones
icons for Flawed and Simple Orbs of Alchemy
Icon for Cobalt Crest (there was no image per se, so I used the 'remove armor' one which is red and not redish-orange)

Still missing:

Image for Prestige Star
Image for Crystal Recipe (it is pink, all the equipment recipe icons are other colors)

A couple of comments (surprise !):

Image database is waaay too large to navigate easily (2413 images), sub-categories should be set up on Category pages just to provide more efficient usage in managing the wiki (i.e. create UI-image, Material-image, drop-image, upgrade-image, rarity-image, etc.). Naming conventions are fine, but the wiki allows you to categorize items as well. I should not have to search through 2400 images 200 at a time just to find a divine mote.

I see that someone created templates for equipment and materials ... but I don't see where they are used for crystals and recipes and things like that. In other words, some things require images added to the page, some to the templates. That needs to be consistent in the long run (I would think).

I'm new to this wiki (I've worked on several other game wikis) so I"m still poking around learning your templates and organization ... so I may be ignorant of the obvious at this time :-P

Anyway ... what is the best way to get the 'new' images into the system, since the page is marked 'do not edit'?

Thanks for your improvements to the article List of Missions.

Sounds good. Perhaps you could lead the charge in making these categories? If you propose them here, then we can comment on them.

Category:Icon Images

My mistake, it was the note on the top of the Icon Images Category page that threw me. It basically said don't edit this, but use a tag to add to the listing...

I'll go through the Image Icon names and make a list of possible categories. They seem to be the only big 'blob' of images I saw. It may take a few days...heh.

right

Right. You don't edit a Category. The Category is automatically populated with all of the articles that contain the relevant template.

For example, if you make a wiki page for your guild, you don't edit Category:Guilds to add your guild. Instead, you put the GuildInfo template onto your guild wiki page. This template causes your guild to be added to Category:Guilds automatically.

In the present case, one should edit the icon image files to add the relevant template (whatever that is). Then they will show up in the category automatically.
