Icons: extra digit needed

Forums: Index > Talk to the Admins > Icons: extra digit needed

Category:Head Icons is running amok - it jumps from 10 to 100, and 156 to 16. The 01 through 99 need another digit added to them to make them 001 through 099 to fit with the rest of the three digit icons being added. 71.234.215.133 04:00, June 10, 2010 (UTC)

Or else the icons just need to be cleaned up... which is something I've been considering doing recently (mostly due to icons I've uploaded in the past weeks). It's a time-consuming task either way it's done (cleanup, or extra digits), and would either require an admin to perform or a user with image-renaming rights (which 99% of the userbase doesn't have to avoid all sorts of problems with "moving" image names to other/more precise/etc names)... Hence the dilemma in doing so! We'll have to see what the admins say. -- Mysterious drake 04:23, June 10, 2010 (UTC)

Should be possible to bot-move the icons and then bot-correct references to them. When we do it, might as well as make them 4-digit (Head Icon 0001) so that we don't run into the issue when we reach icon 1000. I might take a look and do a few icon test run this weekend, what do you folks think? -- lordebon 13:47, June 10, 2010 (UTC)

Took at look at the bot and it looks like I'll still have to do the file-moves manually, so updating these will only be semi-automated. -- lordebon 11:18, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

I'd be willing to help, if any's needed. Reorganizing any of the icon categories could quickly turn into a headache, from what I've previously seen. (Wish we could get ahold of Janze-Nek; didn't she formerly do a policing of the icons? She could probably yield some tips, if she were still active...)

Worst case scenario, to guess at lordebon's meaning, the icons could get moved manually and then one could probably send a bot through to update all the linkbacks. -- Mysterious drake 20:59, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

I've started on Category:Axe Icons . Through the power of Greyskull, er... regex, I've simplified what I have to do a bit. I still have to manually move the page, but the bot takes care of the links to it with a single text entry (the name) and a button press. -- lordebon 01:48, July 2, 2010 (UTC)

No no, let's not be plain about it, regex is an ancient (and possibly evil) power from the unknown depths of time...... -- Mysterious drake 02:17, July 2, 2010 (UTC)

All glory to regex! Oh, and Axes are done. I'm going to make a list of equip categories below here just for my reference / progress tracking. -- lordebon 02:47, July 2, 2010 (UTC)
