I'd like to add [[Category:Weapon Reskin]] tags to every relevant item's page in the game:

deadly candy poker, Frozen Great Cleaver, etc.

This category tag would disregard methods of acquisition (crafting up a 4* or randomly from an event prize box are the only methods so far).

Okay, so another forum thread (node 100955) I made on this got really confusing with rapid updates and expired examples - though all of the coding was available to sample in the page histories. Entirely my fault. I dabbled with some tables and code a bit and came to this conclusion: Considering how many items there are in certain categories, having them all (and images of them) on one non-category page would be gross looking, annoying to update, but useful. Hence this project/idea of mine. ANYWAY, new thread node here, clear all the wayward thoughts away:

I've been testing this myself seeing how well APNGs compare to GIFs and if it could be used as a standardized setting for all current images.

Example for Dread Seal:
GIF of Dread Seal Unattached.
APNG of Dread Seal Unattached. (Requires Firefox or APNG Add-on for other browsers.) *It's somewhat looped improperly as the flash is caused by bad looping skills and can be fixed. Just an example.

I get a lot of players asking where they can get "accessory x." I noticed that most of the accessory pages do not have this information - what boxes they come out of and so on. This information is high demand, but I brushed it off till now saying "supply depot" "box X" or "I don't know." I've been trying to add em for auras at least...but really, even I wonder where some things come from on occasion. We've made some nice templates for costumes that have this sort of information.

EDIT: And I mean on the actual pages, not on the generalized "Status" page.

So, I've started this little project:

http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Category:Special_Effects

Inspired by:

1) Color Themes

2) It's interesting

3) Several player remarks/desires. So many people don't know that certain helms have glow eyes, like the grey feather cowl, or that the blizz/icebreaker helms shed particles. They are "surprised" when they find out. Imagine their surprise if they can know everything that behaves this way?

Greetings, Unfortunately there's no easy workaround to find those specific recolors. There are still some ideas that we'll need to test, but it will take some time. In the meantime, what I can suggest is to start a thread in the Wiki Editors forums to see if other editors can provide suggestions on how to expedite this. We'll certainly post there as soon as we have more information too!
-My Support Request

For this thread, DO:

post how you make/obtain high quality images for the wiki, regarding icons, and updating those icons.

Just a proof of concept: http://i.imgur.com/XUnbztj.png

It takes a bit of extra work that way but it provides akin to what is in the tool-tip.

Something I've noticed is that it seems that all the recolors have their own pages and styles yet things like Accessories do not. They all share a singular page and are treated as a single item.

Basically as an example, I have modified the Accessory Template into its own thing. It's currently being used here for a test:

Something I originally started on the Shield Bash (almost finished with that) but I will need help with the other two:

I'm seeking help on specifically the Artillery Strike just because of how uncommonly rare it is to come across. The Barriers are something else that I would like help on but that can come secondly as I feel these need damage tables themselves.

They're currently at:
