Graphic set[edit]
It is easy to get lost on this wiki, even after years here I still discover new dark corners I wasn't aware of ;) The way I see it, currently we have:
- Modding as general landing page.
- Beginners modding guide
- Various Token pages for in-depth parameter reference
- With various pages that provide more in-depth usage explanation like Reactions.
For graphics, I believe that currently this info might be best suited to Graphic set. Unless you choose to consolidate stuff (Personally, I welcome experimentation though it is hard to do so here due to lack of feedback) --Jan (talk) 11:52, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
- That's fair, I definitely am still uncertain how that information should be displayed. It seems to me that because graphics tokens are only really useful as part of a multi-line set Reaction or Syndrome would the best examples to follow for a graphics page. Additionally, feedback from other modders after I had added all that information to the previous Graphics Tokens page was that they ignored the page because its title seemed to imply it wouldn't have any instructions.
- For this reason, I don't love the idea of linking to a page like Graphics token or Graphic set, the latter of which I completely overlooked even while actively editing the wiki. Although I can see how my first try to resolve this made the pages more confusing rather than less.
- I think it would be good to change Graphics into a landing page with:
- a "for/see" to a Premium-related tokens + how-to page (maybe Graphics token).
- some "for/see"s to the Classic-related reference pages (like Graphic set, Tileset).
- a simple explaination of what base-game graphics are.
- how-to's for installing new graphics in both versions.
- I'll put that in the talk pages of both Graphics and Graphics token so I'm not making the decision unilaterally. --BarelyCreative (talk) 06:12, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
- Seems like you given the topic some thought and it would be nice if the pages are updated by a modder.
