Width 40px

I've noticed that you've been putting |w=40px on SAI in CharacterInfo templates. Please don't, it makes the infoboxes larger than they need to be and draws too much attention to the passives. I have created Template:PAS so you don't even need to include <br>.

I also would like to notify you that we have a Discord Server where we coordinate edits and have actual discussions about all things wiki-related. We barely use Discussion pages for anything. - HINK (talk) 17:54, 27 September 2023 (CEST)Reply[reply]

Ah! Okay I will use that from now on. It didn't seem too big at first, but then you're right they are kind of bigish especially when I got to Viconia.--HiddenDragon (talk) 18:00, 27 September 2023 (CEST)Reply[reply]


Conflicting Uploads

Hi, just checking here regarding conflicting file uploads. For passive features such as Elven Weapon Training the game literally never uses a controller icon. Additionally, the original upload was a tooltip resized to 64x64. Could you give me some further info on the comment, *"Should use the transparent controller icon"*? This would be news to me, I may be out of the loop.

Until I mentioned the lack of use, we were rarely even using controller icons. Not your fault if this is just decided by the typical discord consensus of three. Never using an icon that is only used by the game for a related feature, and vice versa, is a pretty bizarre decision I would take issue with (not your responsibility).

Just mentioning, after reading above comment, I do use talk pages, and most wikis do. Discord has a lot of downsides for coordinating wiki editing, which nearly everyone actually using it admits to, so do use talk pages if you want to. If nothing else, casual editors or experienced ones passing through would only be checking talk pages by default. Relevant info there is very likely to be useful to someone at some point.
