Paragon Wiki Images
« on: December 09, 2013, 10:14:07 PM »
Hello! I still haven't gotten in to Icon as much as I should, so I'm coming here for a request. Right now, there are several (67) articles on the Wiki with missing images: http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Category:Articles_Missing_Images    Some of them are missing images of costume pieces. Some are missing important cutscenes  :'( . Many are missing pictures of NPCs. Is there any chance some Icon users could take pics as needed, and upload them to the Wiki or post them here to be uploaded? That would be awesome!

Some of the pages are pretty clear about what is needed, others are more ambiguous. Post questions here! Additionally, that list is probably incomplete - there are still articles that have missing images noted in their text only, that haven't been categorized. Feel free to add pics as you see them needed, not just from the link above.

The images should be the highest quality possible. In articles that are missing images entirely, quality isn't as big a deal as getting an image on there. However, if an article has other images of a high quality, or you happen to see an image that could use an ultra update, high quality is preferred.

Edit: Pages that link to the badge question mark also have missing images: http://paragonwiki.com/w/index.php?title=Special:WhatLinksHere/File:Badge_question_mark.png&limit=500 Not all of those are in the category above.

I used CIT before they even joined the Titan network! But then I left for a long ol' time, and came back. Now I edit the wiki.

I might be able to see if I can get some of the images from Icon later this week.  That would require the rare combination of a) remembering to do that and b) being at home at the same time.  :)

Some of the pictures would be hard to get from Icon, but I found these in demo files.
E-Z Flooring:

Holding Tank:

Ionizing Grate:

Tech Crates:

High Speed Furnace System:

Ceiling Blowers:

Robotic Fabricator:

This was seldom seen in the actual game, and it wasn't listed among the requests. Nevertheless there's no image for it currently displayed. Advanced Holodisplay:

Apologies for the not so high quality of the images. If you think they look really bad I may try to get better ones later.

I added the holodisplay to its article (took me long enough!). I'll add the other images soon. Thanks a bunch!

Edit: Added all your images except the Robotic Fabricator, since it looks like someone got to it already.


I should note that a few articles were added to the Needs Images category, including all Paragon Times articles needing images (as their own sub category). I'm planning on searching the web archive of the CoH site, but I kind of doubt the images will be there, since they apparently weren't when the Paragon Times articles were first archived on the wiki. So if anyone knows anything about that, that would be helpful too.


Edit: So I just discovered / realized that all the pages that link to the question mark image obviously have missing images. Rather than go through and add each one of those to the missing images category, it's much easier to look at what links to the question mark: http://paragonwiki.com/w/index.php?title=Special:WhatLinksHere/File:Badge_question_mark.png&limit=500

It's worth noting that the generic icon clue image also gets used for missing images & missing salvage requirements, BUT it is also the image for mission clues, so its list will have many articles that are fully complete: http://paragonwiki.com/w/index.php?title=Special:WhatLinksHere/File:Icon_clue_generic.png&limit=500

So in theory, any pages with an image missing from the main game will be completed once someone with Icon gets around to it. But what about base items? Pretty much every page with a listing of base items has at least one missing image (usually lots). Are those available in Icon, or do we have to rely on people like Pengy having demo files of their base?

Those are retrievable only from people who have demorecords of their bases. Bases are not accessible from Icon  :(

Bummer. Not even base assets, to randomly insert into a city zone, or something?

IF I'm remembering rightly, when I was making the NPC menu, I was testing a lot of things that were base items, and they didn't show up at all. I just abandoned that whole section of items. Nothing was showing up. If things had been showing, there would have been a "base" section to the menu.   :(
