Not all formats are compatible the wiki. You need to convert the image to JPG, PNG, or GIF before uploading it. Or find another image that's already in one of those formats.

Or, if the images are on the web, you can send me a link and I can convert them for you if you want.

I see. I will try to do what you said. If I still having problems, I will inform you.

Did you manage to solve the problem?

Yes, I did

That's great! :)

By the way, man, when you create a page, please don't say that the species is "from the Monster High universe" (or any other), because pages have to be written from an in-universe perspective (ASW:Rules and Policies)

I see

As for the in-universe perspective" thing, whoever wrote the Magma Cube page clearly didn't know that.

Yes. Many pages have this problem. All of them will be cleaned up or rewritten, but it will take time.

I already did, and I guess my Nether page wasn't up to code. I was playing up how scary it is, describing it as a "Hellish dimension, home to all sorts of ghoulish creatures"

The Nether page was deleted because it's a location, and location pages are not allowed anymore. You really should read ASW:Rules and Policies

Crap

Then do you know how to link to the Minecraft wiki page?

Yes, I can link it for you, hang on

There you go

There I go what? I don't see anything

Check the Magma Cube page

Thanks, now I know the template needed

Did you remove the Tatanga page?

I did, because characters are only allowed if they're of an unknown species, and there is a page for Tatanga's species. Dude, seriously, please, read ASW:Rules and Policies, it's all there.

Wait, what about characters of known species?

Read the rules

They're too wordy

Okay, but what about the "Newborn"? She's a human-xenomorph hybrid!

You gotta be kidding me. You want to edit a wiki and you're too lazy to read the rules because they're "wordy"? How old are you, eight?

Read the rules. It says hybrids are allowed. And stop acting like a child.

Okay, I'm sorry

Read the rules

To elaborate, I'm aware that grammatically, "human" is not to be capitalized. That's why it doesn't need to be in the "Notes" sections of articles, because these are written from a "real world" perspective.

However, the rest of the article must be written from an in-universe perspective. From that perspective, Humans are just one of many different species, and every other species name is capitalized, so Humans should be as well.

It's the same reason why the "Origin" part of the Infobox is only supposed to inform whether a species was created artificially or by mutation or something like that. If a species evolved naturally, the "Origin" section doesn't need to be filled, and it certainly cannot be filled with "Monsters vs Aliens TV series" or "the real world" or anything like that. That's what the "Universe" part of the Infobox is for, and do notice that the "Universe" part comes under "behind-the-scenes" (i.e. no longer in-universe, unlike the rest of the Infobox and main sections of the article).

Okay, because some people put the media in "species origin"

They shouldn't. This need to be corrected. Can you tell me which pages have this error?

I can't name any off the top of my head

Oh, OK. Thanks for telling me anyway, if you see any, please contact me or correct it

Alright

Certainly, I'll see what I can do

There you go :)

It's alright, no problem then, feel free to create the page again with your own words

I originally did that, but it was erased for the reason "they're not aliens" like what kind of excuse is that?

Can you please do it? Every time, it reminds me it's been deleted before

How does my new page look now?

I think it's good now, but feel free to add more if you wish. Also, calm down, man, there's no need to feel scared or stressed, I gave you the warning to remind you about the rules, I'm not going to block you

Okay, thanks

That or they can remove and reattach their body parts.

Anatomical Automatic Species

That's a nice idea! Does it include species in which some organs are independent life forms too? (like Sintillians, their hearts can move around on their own if removed from their bodies)

Bingo. Yeah forgot about that species. I think in Farscape there is a species that can remove their eyes and can still function

That's the Han-jee

Just a thought: is there any confirmation about the size of Podlings and Gelflings? Cause I don't think it's safe to assume it based just on the size of the puppets. In a world without humans, it's very hard to know anything for sure. Can you rule out the possibility that the Gelflings are the size of grasshoppers, and the Skeksis and Mystics are rat-sized? I know that's probably not the case (although it would help to explain the small wings...), I'm just saying we should be careful about assumptions, no matter how intuitive they may seem.

http://www.darkcrystal.com/encyclopedia_gelfling.php

I heard the website was created using materiel from a Dark Crystal Universe book.. World of the Dark Crystal.

Says Gelfling are 2 to three feet

I don't have this book, but sweet, official website confirms it in this case. Thanks!

So which do i use? Diminutive Species or Pygmy Species Category?

Pygmy seems more specific to me. Diminutive runs the risk of being confused with the Lilliputian category.

Understood!

Wow, man, it's been ages since I've seen you here! How you doing?

Well, to answer your question, it's because the rules have changed, basically, and the wiki is undergoing a gradual clean-up as a result. We had a really huge voting process last year and it was decided that pages about characters, locations, etc. would no longer be allowed (with few exceptions). Honestly, dude, I was kind of surprised that you didn't participate, I thought you were no longer active. There was a notification, everyone was called in to participate, not just the admins, but regular contributors too. The rules have changed a lot as a result. You can read the new guidelines here: ASW:Rules and Policies; especially under the "Allowed Content" section.

But hey, good to see you back man, not sure if you're planning to stay, but I do hope you're not upset about this (though I do understand if you are). There's still a lot that needs to be deleted, and every article will need to be reviewed to remove red links and such. It's going to be a long cleanup.
