:::::::Redirects are useful for two reasons. Firstly, it's a lot easier to link to [[GTA London 1961]] than the full game title. Sometimes we go to the extreme and have shortcuts like [[TLAD]] to make life easier for editors. Secondly, someone might search for (or link to) a title that doesn't automatically take them to the right page. For example searching for [http://gta.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Search?search=advanced+motoring&go=1 "Advanced Motoring"] doesn't take you to the right page, and the search results are unhelpful, so a redirect to [[Driving School]] would be one way to fix that. However, just putting those words on the [[Driving School]] page would also work, and it's unlikely that many people would actively look fo "Turning Tricks Advanced Motoring". However [[L.C.P.D.]] is a good example because searching for that won't bring up a page on [[LCPD]] without a redirect (as we couldn't list every variation on the page). So in this case, a redirect isn't really necessary unless you think it makes life easier for someone along the way. If you think it does, then go ahead.

I need some help involving deleting/renaming images, and pages. For the pages I deleted the GTA_Sanandreas_Myths,_Bigsmokes_Ghost page twice because the information from a duplicate of another page, and because it should have been in the myth section. And with the images if there is a replacement should I delete the old one and add the new version in? When renaming an image I need help with it if it has any punctuation like apostrophes, and signs, or hyphens.--[[User:Gta-mysteries|Gta-mysteries]] 01:24, March 24, 2010 (UTC) | |||
If there are two pages with the same information, you should only keep one. Keep the biggest/oldest one, because that will have the most accurate edit history (showing who added what). You can copy the information from the new/small page in, delete that page, then move the original to whatever name is best. Do NOT ever move a page by copying & pasting the contents, because it gets rid of all the edit history. With images, you can upload over the top of an existing image - replacing the image without having to delete it and then upload a new one. This is the best way, because it lets us see what has changed. If there are two images with the same content, delete one. If you ever delete an image, remember to go to every page that [[Special:Whatlinkshere|links to it]], and change them to use the correct image (or remove the image code entirely). As for image names, try and follow the convention of <code>File:SubjectName-GAME-description.jpg</code> - the description is only where multiple images have the same subject+game, such as different views/colours/types (ie [[:File:Comet-GTA4-rear.jpg]]). And please don't change the default site skin :) [[User:Gboyers|Gboyers]] <sup>[[User_talk:Gboyers|talk]]</sup> 01:42, March 24, 2010 (UTC) | |||

:Got it, but what about the GTASA vehicles. The first ones were PS2, and then [[User:ZS|ZS]] redid those with PC. Should those be left alone?--[[User:Gta-mysteries|Gta-mysteries]] 01:56, March 24, 2010 (UTC) | |||
::We should always try to have the best-looking images that best show the vehicle, what it looks like, and what is unique about it. If you have a PC version and can take better screenshots than we already have from a console, then it might be good to get some better images. We do NOT need to go through and change everything to the PC version just because it's newer, and we don't need a different image for every PC/PS2 version, because usually there is no difference. If there ''is'' a difference which you want to show on the page, then by all means upload a second image (name one <code>-PS2.jpg</code> and one <code>-PC.jpg</code>). If there is only one, we don't need to say whether it's PC or PS2 in the name (but a comment on the image page would be good). Also, pages like [http://gta.wikia.com/index.php?title=Special:Undelete&target=GTA_Sanandreas_Myths%2C_Bigsmokes_Ghost.×tamp=20100323220426 GTA Sanandreas Myths, Bigsmokes Ghost] might not be useful articles, but if people have put effort into writing essays/opinion like that, you can move it to the [[Forum]], and just add <code><nowiki>{{forumheader|GTA}}</nowiki></code> at the top. [[User:Gboyers|Gboyers]] <sup>[[User_talk:Gboyers|talk]]</sup> 02:02, March 24, 2010 (UTC) | |||
:Just to add with image names, try and keep it simple. Usually you only need a subject and game - for example <code>File:Diablos-GTAIV.jpg</code>. If you need multiple images of the Diablos gang in GTA IV, then you can distinguish between them by adding an extra word - such as <code>File:Diablos-GTAIV-man.jpg</code>, <code>File:Diablos-GTAIV-woman.jpg</code>, <code>File:Diablos-GTAIV-group.jpg</code>, <code>File:Diablos-GTAIV-hideout.jpg</code>.

:An example of the PS2/PC the [[Ghost]]. The Ghost is black in the PC/Xbox, and blue in the PS2 version. Like that? And I see how it could be moved but when I looked at it most of it was copied from the Big Smoke article. So should this be restored and moved to a forum or added into the myths page?--[[User:Gta-mysteries|Gta-mysteries]] 02:08, March 24, 2010 (UTC) | |||
::[[Ghost]] is a good example of when you'd want two images (since there is a big difference). So just like the article has now, you would have one ending in -PC and one ending in -PS2 (the "recreation" part is unnecessary). Since that article had just been copied, you can leave it. But if someone has written about their opinion or asked a question, it's easier to move it to the forum than argue about it. Don't forget to ALWAYS explain why you delete something - at the very least leave an edit summary. If someone has put a lot of effort in, it's polite to leave a message on their talk page. If you don't, then they will often scream at you and leave abusive messages everywhere and maybe even go on a rampage and start vandalising things. It happens quite a lot, so try and just be friendly and explain that the content already existed on page X (and say they can edit that page), or that it's not really relevant enough for the wiki, so they should post it on the Forum, in a sub-page of their user page, or on a different wiki.

:Blocking is at your discretion - there is no precise rule. You need to make a judgement based on the seriousness of what they did, the likelihood of them doing it again (immediately, frequently, or in the long-term), and the benefit of removing them from the wiki (temporarily or permanently). Swearing on its own is not usually worthy of a block, unless they ignore staff requests to stop, or if they do it LOTS . If someone has been in a fight, then a short block (1-3 days) can stop the fight without causing them to leave the wiki completely. If someone has been ignoring staff, getting in big/multiple edit wars, or has general bad behaviour, a medium-length block (1 week - 3 months) might be appropriate. If they are a regular misbehaver who has repeatedly ignored or abused staff, or if they are a real user who has vandalised etc, then a long block (1 year) is enough to keep them away, but allow them to return in the future when they have maybe calmed down and matured. If they are a spammer, proven to be abusing multiple accounts, then an infinite block is necessary. Remember that if you block their IP address, you might be blocking an entire school, not just one person. That is good for short blocks, or to block spam/ad bots, but not good for long blocks of vandals (who are likely to be in a school). These are just guidelines - make your own decision, but seriously don't be afraid to ask Staff for their input into any decision. I'm very pleased that you are asking questions as well as trying to work out the answer, rather than just getting it wrong. You can see [[Special:BlockList]] if you want to see some examples.

Good question. Videos should be embedded into the main article, unless there are lots of them. Text walkthroughs should be big sub-pages with a summary/overview on the main article, unless they are short. Walkthroughs should have images and even edited maps (to show race/chase routes, enemy locations, escape routes etc). Transcripts should be sub-pages, unless they are really short. Every mission page should have a one-paragraph overview, even if it has walkthroughs/videos/transcripts.

You might want to try [http://gta.wikia.com/index.php?title=Wheel_Arch_Angels&diff=214813&oldid=214193 moving some of these images] [http://gta.wikia.com/index.php?title=Hooker_Inn_Express&diff=214814&oldid=214128 to the left side of the page] in order to give existing images [http://gta.wikia.com/index.php?title=TransFender&diff=214815&oldid=214101 some room to breathe] ([[Squid Row|unless the page has no images to begin with]]), the reason being that it'll help to prevent [http://gta.wikia.com/index.php?title=Angel_Pine_Medical_Center&oldid=213710 images from stacking] and [http://gta.wikia.com/index.php?title=Ocean_View_Hospital&oldid=214369 resulting in a disorganized page which images are not aligned to the sections they are assigned to]. If you have any other questions regarding this issue, contact me. - [[User:ZS|ZS]] 12:02, April 20, 2010 (UTC) | |||
:This approach is only suitable when you only have an image of a sign and an image of something else, like that of the location. Stacking two images is fine only if their subject matter is the same and their thumbnail lengths are nearly the same or equal. Otherwise, having one small image over a larger one looks awkward, especially when thumbnail borders ("|thumb|" parameter) are used. And placing the logo on the left still allows it to serve as a lead image, because it's still, in essence, at the top of the page. | |||
:The thing is though, some of these textures are redundant, especially [[:Image:AngelPineMedicalCenter-GTASA-logo.png|signage that only spell out the location]] [[:Image:CrippenMemorialHospital-GTASA-logo.png|without any additional slogans]], or [[Transfender|signs that are already very much visible]] in the image of the location. But I'll let all this pass. - [[User:ZS|ZS]] 19:35, April 21, 2010 (UTC) | |||
:I could see how some of those images may be useless such as the businesses. I was going to add those onto the businesses page when ready, but what if the images are the same length with the border of a thumbnail even though you can't use a caption? It did look better on the [[Burger Shot]] page. Oh, and this isn't related to these textures but I found a new method of getting images from GTA San Andreas by the camera. Also out of curiosity might I ask when you are active.

:Most of these texture images will still be too big when enlarged to adapt to some of the second images. Again, this left-right setup applies when you have an image of the texture and another subject. Again, these images are still fine, as long as it doesn't hinder presentation.

Is the image already on the site, or is it on your computer? If it's already on the site then what is the name. If it's on your computer, and you don't know how to upload it see [[Special:Upload|here]]. | |||
I couldn't really understand the instructions you gave me, but I thought if a gallery was added to the article Frank Tenpenny, with the simple 'add a photo to this gallery' option underneath I could do that, find out the code on source mode and paste it into the image part of the infrobox.

:If it's your own user page, you can archive it whenever you want. I archive mine when it reaches around 50 sections, but it's entirely personal preference. For actual article talk pages, I would probably advise doing this at 50 sections. However, you may find it is better to archive logical parts of it - for example if there is one big discussion (such as [[Talk:Karen/spoilers]]), move that to a subpage instead of archiving the whole thing. [[User:Gboyers|Gboyers]] <sup>[[User_talk:Gboyers|talk]]</sup> 02:44, April 26, 2010 (UTC) | |||
Seeing as how I almost at 50 that will be my archive number. To archive it do you move it with the suppression of a redirect? -[[User:Gta-mysteries|Gta-mysteries]] | |||
:Yes, you should move the page to preserve its history. Make sure you do not also "move subpages". Don't supress the redirect, as that will be a good first-edit of the new talk page (which you can then edit). I would also recommend you copy the last couple of messages onto the new talk page, so that you can continue any ongoing discussions (and so it doesn't look too empty). I choose to protect my archives to prevent them being altered (so they are an accurate record of what people said), but you may choose to let people edit them (to remove red links etc).

: Almost certainly. I'm playing LCS right now, and when riding on the Portland El, it says "NEXT STOP: BAILL<u>I</u>E STATION".

Hi, I was wondering If I could get your opinion regarding an idea for image names as discussed [[Grand_Theft_Wiki_talk:Consistency#Image_names|here]]. I know this may be a little late but I just now thought of it. Oh, and in the statement above (I don't think this has anything to do with it) but have you ever noticed you could be from one wiki with no staff privileges and you could go on another, and move pages (excluding images).--<font color="darkblue">'''[[:User:Gta-mysteries|Gta-mysteries]]'''</font><sup>''[[User talk:Gta-mysteries|Talk page]]''</sup> 04:07, April 19, 2010 (UTC) | |||
:Most wikis allow users to move (aka rename) pages, even if they're not staff. For example, looking [http://reddead.wikia.com/wiki/Special:ListGroupRights here], that "Users" have the "Move pages" right. This is not something we allow on GTW, as it is easy enough to add the {{template|move}} tag and get staff to do it. This prevents a lot of vandalism!

I have seen your images and it needs some adjustment on the resolution. Tell me, what is your computer resolution? | |||

My resolution on GTA III, GTA VC, and GTA SA is good, it's a 1200x800x32. I also use a 1400x900 for GTA SA, So it's no such much as the resolution it's just the graphics in a way. | |||
---- | |||
Ok, for somehow, I have resized two of your images. Look at them below. | |||

File:Packer-GTASA-Cop Wheels-side.png|Resized too.<br /> | |||
</gallery><br /> | |||

Anyways, the Campers and Vortexes from missions are done by ZS and they looked fine. And the BF Injection, cropped by you, looks also fine.<br /> | |||
Feel free to tell me for more images. But not now, have problems with grapical card. =/<br /> | |||
