Deconstructor
Hey Charly, please forgive me for not communicating with you about the changes before this, it's an unusually busy day for me. I just wanted to say the new table looks FABULOUS, so good job, very well done! Please feel free to continue to tweak it if you wish, I just wanted to say thank you. margotbean (talk) 17:42, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
- Hi Margotbean! Hahaha, that's okay, busy days happen (even if I was a bit surprised of your edits at first), and thanks, that's very kind of you! :-D -- Charly (talk) 17:58, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
Template Changes
Hello Charly! I'm messaging to let you know that template changes have to be discussed before being implemented. The reason is that templates are the same in all 12 languages, so changes to one require cascading changes to the other 11.
Having said that, your changes to Template:Weather inline seem fine, and you did a good job of cropping the image so that it's identifiable even when so tiny. So, I don't want you to feel like the changes were a bad thing.
Another question I have is where will it be used? Currently the weather inline template is used for fish and the Mermaid's Pendant, that's it. It already contains unused icons (fall wind, storm, and snow), so I wonder where you were thinking it might be used?
I'm going to revert the template changes (I'm sorry!) pending your reply. If we decide it's going to be used somewhere, the changes can be un-reverted easily, and one or both of us can update the other 11 languages. Thank you, margotbean (talk) 15:43, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
- Hello Margotbean! Thank for your message. Oh sorry I wasn't aware of this, even if I already wondered about cross-languages coherence.
- I am working on the Soundtrack page, which has a "Weather" column, so I was planning to use weather inline templates here, that's why I added the Festival's one (windy and snowy will be used too – I'm not planning to use a special icon for the wedding tho, just redirect to the weather page).
- Since we are talking about that: I uploaded the 13x13 version, derived directly from the animated .gif, and then a custom 16x16 version, like you did for the other weather template icons. But the second version of the image looks exactly the same as the first one, and even if on the file page
it's written 16x16, if I download the picture on my computer, it's a 13x13 picture. Any idea about this oddity? Maybe a bug? Should I try to re-upload?

- Ah, yes, unfortunately there is a delay in image updating, from 2-5 hours. It happens on the server side, so purging the page and clearing browser cache have no effect. In about 5 hours (or less?), you will see the 16x16 version that you should be seeing now. Unfortunately this is not something we can fix (I've asked. Repeatedly.)
- Since the template changes were pretty simple, I'm going to reinstate them, and I can carry out the changes in the other languages. You can update Soundtrack now, or wait for the image to update, I don't think 3 pixels is going to significantly affect the look of it when it's finished. Good luck! Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks, margotbean (talk) 16:22, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
