Hi all! So I got my account working and I've gotten a Seraphynx (Love Puppy) page up and running.

I am uploading new images for everything that was already there, since most of them weren't the right proportions.

The only thing I am having trouble finding (and I have SCOURED the pngs in the game files) is the proper icon for the Running Wild Prize box.

If anyone has it or can find it, and either upload it, or post it here, I can get that part fixed.
It should match these: https://wiki.spiralknights.com/Prize_Box

More problems..

I also seem to be completely unable to update the main image for Sprite Info
I've tried uploading a replacement image several times but it keeps defaulting back to the first upload, and stranger still, indicating that it is using my image.

See for yourself.

Some solutions

You won't find image of Running Wild Box. Most of these boxes are recolors of probably this file: Spiral Knights\rsrc\ui\icon\inventory\icon_lockbox-recolor.png. Special Prize Boxes have fully colored icons, as you can tell from game files.

I tried to recolor these images a few times but I have never achieved the quality of such files on wiki. But there was user Icytea, who could do these recolors. They are still around.

Wiki may have some problems with updating stuff, especially with file reuploads. There used to be a warning about this issue on the file upload page, but it disappeared (with a bunch of other things) in January. Basically it says that if you changed something, don't do it again as it won't help and give wiki time to update stuff. And that applies to basically everything. But you can speed up the process with regular pages and you can "purge" them to force their update. I don't know if it works the same with files.

Anyway, how to purge pages:
Step 1: Go to the page you want to purge: https://wiki.spiralknights.com/Seraphynx_(Love_Puppy)
Step 2: Go to history tab: https://wiki.spiralknights.com/index.php?title=Seraphynx_(Love_Puppy)&action=history
Step 3: Replace "action=history" with "action=purge": https://wiki.spiralknights.com/index.php?title=Seraphynx_(Love_Puppy)&action=purge

Once again, it 100% works with pages (i.e. you've got a red link on a page, then you create that missing page but on the previous page the link is still red, so you purge the page with red link (delete from wiki's cache or something), so wiki needs to generate it again, so the link will be blue now that that linked page exists (probably written very chaotically)), but I don't know if it works with files. You shouldn't be able to do anything bad with purging as far as I know.

I'm a bit in a hurry so sorry for mistakes (I would do some anyway).

Thanks so much for the

Thanks so much for the reply!
I'll go ahead and see if purge works. The problem I think I'm facing is that the original images weren't uploaded by me, but we'll see.
Does an image count as a page? I guess the more permanent solution would be if I were somehow able to ticket the specific image to be removed.

Okay, for the time being,

Okay, for the time being, I've gone ahead and made a new template called 'SpriteInfo-LovePuppy' so I can get the image to display correctly.
Assuming at some point the original file is able to be removed so we can start over, I can edit the page back to the original template.
