adding WaterPier fish and stuff

I added a bunch of stuff to the WaterPier section, basically the five Camo Branch fish. Please help take a look and see if I got that right.

1) I had a problem with trying to get the chum preference set to "-" as with other fish that have no preference. I didn't see how to do that in the FishInfo box or the What fish template. If I removed "prefers" in their FishInfo box I get an error. 2) They're missing the pictures, either hidden or revealed, so that could be added when someone gets around to catching it.

There are a bunch of WaterPort fish that are also part of WaterPier, so I added their Population status. They aren't getting picked up by WaterPier category though. Is there another template or something that picks it up based on the Population?

Thanks again for all your help. 😸Miyuki (talk) 02:26, 16 April 2021 (UTC)

The island categories for each fish is auto populated using the Template:FishInfobox by adding that towards the bottom of that template. I have not edited that Template since Breakfast Bay ... so Claustro Cave, WaterPier, Fishertonburg all need to be added. And might as well go ahead and include Blue Caldera while you are at it. If for some reason that changes name later or w/e, we can simply edit and fix it when released, but that is likely what it will be. You can simply see how it is done and copy it with inserting the correct category name needed. It just uses an 'IF' call command and searches for the name in all FishInfobox templates we use, and 'IF' it finds that name in the field (or its true) then it creates the appropriate category on its created fish page. I will go ahead and get rid of all the categories you manually edited in, so when you do that correctly in the template it should have no conflict errors.

1) Hmm :/ I should know this but not recalling how the "-" chum worked atm. Thought that was done in the Fish Summary page, but will have to tinker around with that one. It might be on one of the templates that Fish Summary pages uses, but if so that should have auto transcluded it over automatically. Idk, will have a look in a lil while to figure that out.

2) Yea I started to get hidden images saved on my pc and was going to upload them all when that was done. I already started with Claustro Cave, then was going to get all the new stealth fish as well. So that will save me the hassle of needing to create all the stealth fish pages at least since appears you got that done. Ta! Kevin "Hawk" Fisher (talk) 02:23, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

1) An easy fix, one that I should have recalled lol. For some odd reason in how these templates / tables are coded, it does not like anything edited outside of the actual infobox when it goes to be displayed inside of tables. I am sure that can be resolved, but is beyond my knowledge. Anyway simply removing the [[category:island_name]] from the page which was outside of the infobox at the bottom resolved the chum "-" not correctly displaying in the tables.

Side Note: after adding the categories in the FishInfobox template, we might need to do some minor edit on all the fish pages to force those pages to reprocess with new infobox template changes. This can be done with the 'purge' action command or just by a minor edit making no actual changes. Bit different then Fandom so not sure how it will behave, but we can do the purge action if needed.

That sounds great. I went ahead and put the new areas in the FishInfobox template. Thanks again for fixing up the code. :) 😸Miyuki (talk) 17:13, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

Error creating thumbnail

Wiki is reporting this error for a lot of the pictures: Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination

Not sure if something needs to be kicked or restarted. 😸Miyuki (talk) 01:57, 11 January 2022 (UTC)

Hmm interesting. Some of the article pages are displaying the images just fine, yet looking at the image file page itself also results in this error. For example Fancy Rifle-pole Quests displays all the images fine, yet looking at File:Pole3.jpg and File:Quest9.gif displayed on Fancy Rifle-pole Quests page is also resulting in that error. Strange. I think I just seen this error a couple of days ago in MediaWiki along with several other common errors. Now I just have to figure out where that was.
