Sometimes when you upload a new version of an image, it doesn't register right away.

== Downloading == | |||
I removed the term 'downloading Windows' on the PC and Mac pages because that implied that users should illegally download a copy of Windows. Whilst some people do that, it's not something we support here, and definitely not something we want to be encouraging.

== Re: Location == | |||
I think [[Template:Location]] is pretty good. I think it works best when used in conjunction with a map. My only real suggestion would be for the actual maps - a thin yellow line is not visible enough when used in a thumbnail. The area should be coloured in, like [[:File:SanAndreas-GTASA-map-locations.jpg]]. Another point would be that there's no harm having multiple links to the same page. I know Wikipedia prefers only the first link to each page to work, but I think it makes much more sense to allow people to click on the word when they read it, than have to scroll up to find an earlier reference. | |||
If you're struggling putting some points onto the template, then you have two options: | |||
*Allow multiple entries into each place, so you might have |south=Airport, Verdant Bluffs, The Strip | |||
*Modify the template to allow a colspan/rowspan that lets an area take up BOTH the south+southeast boxes | |||
That second one is quite complicated (with loads of IFs) but I can help out. Lastly, you should write documentation for the template so that other people know how to use it. [[User:Gboyers|gboyers]] <sup>[[User_talk:Gboyers|talk]]</sup> 07:59, 24 April 2012 (UTC) | |||
== Re: Help Page == | |||
Since your question was about a particular page, I've moved it to [[Talk:Help]] so more people can answer it, and it's always there for future editors of that page to see. [[User:Gboyers|gboyers]] <sup>[[User_talk:Gboyers|talk]]</sup> 07:24, 26 April 2012 (UTC) | |||
== Re: Trusted User Status == | |||
You are right - all user permissions on the site had been accidentally lost. This sometimes happens when we upgrade or alter our software. I've restored most of the permissions manually - please let me know if you can see anyone you think I've forgotten!
