Template to mark outdated item pages

Is there a template to mark outdated item pages with? For example Cross Sword - AnnanFay (talk) 20:41, 13 August 2013 (EDT)

Image hosting / uploads?

Should we be uploading all images to the wiki? This page allows it. Here's a list of currently uploaded files/.

If not can we have a consensus on which image host to use. Quite a few of the images are now dead because they were uploaded to nerfjax.com which shut down. -AnnanFay (talk) 12:00, 9 January 2014 (EST)

Unless you want to re-upload all the images singularly or do you want a mix of this and that from upload? Or do you want some of the pages such as consumable, vouchers and others could start be filled with wiki uploads? I'm already aware of wiki's upload but if it had mass upload I would of used it by now.--Infernity (talk) 12:50, 9 January 2014 (EST)

Good point. The owner can easily upload multiple files, and has in the past. For us to be able he would need to install one of the multi-upload extensions. Is the Admin still around? I've not seen any edits by him, though I myself haven't been around much.

I don't have a problem with using imgur, as long as everyone uses imgur. It seems to be the current most popular image host.

Do you know if it keeps images forever or automatically delete stuff? I doubt we will have bandwidth problems, lol.

If we use imgur we could create an imagine-wiki account and share access with wiki admins/mods/people who ask. Would this have any advantage? -AnnanFay (talk) 10:04, 11 January 2014 (EST)

I don't log in the game often to know if the Admin is in-game nor have I seen him in Skype (don't know his address as well). Even if he is online, he doesn't stay much because he already maxed 2 Lv.97 characters and waiting for new content. As for the images, the images last for 6 month as long it get at least 1 view. Making the account would cost money for premium, and standard can only hold 255 until a new image is uploaded, the old one will be deleted. I currently have 5,012 images from SMT file and not nearly finish. We have the resources for everyone.

Lastly, all images will continue from imgur or new images should be uploaded via wiki? All wiki uploads goes to dropboxusercontent and if you don't renew your account, would all the images be deleted? I always feared that one day the account would expire and it would be nerfjax 2.0.

^{What I like about nerfjax and wiki is it keeps the image file name. Let say I wanted to add Tidy Glasses M to wiki, I just paste the link "http:XXXX/icon_A32_0185a" and for female, I would paste the same link and change 1 number instead of tab hopping, copy, and paste.} --Infernity (talk) 11:36, 11 January 2014 (EST)

I am sometimes around :). The images stored on wiki are safe - the dropbox account is a mirror of the images kept on my webserver. If I lose this dropbox account, I can immediately switch over to using them from my webserver directly. I will look into getting the multi-upload extension in place (probably over the next couple of days). --Sesshou (talk) 18:57, 12 January 2014 (EST)
