Locations gallery

Hi there,

I recommend looking at other map pages such as Upward or Badwater to see how these location galleries are done.

Category on images

Hi there,

Once again, please add [[Category:Rumford images]] to the images. [[Category: {Rumford}]] will not work. Please also give descriptive names such as "Rumford the flank" rather than "The Flank 1".

For the category, will I have to reupload all the images or is there a way to avoid that? Pally17 (talk) 20:48, 23 December 2022 (UTC)Pally17

Just go to the page and edit it, I've done this for you already.

Ah thank you, I will keep this in mind for future images. Pally17 (talk) 20:55, 23 December 2022 (UTC)Pally17

Locations section

When adding stuff to the locations sections, try to describe the locations only. Describing strategies useful for the location is reserved for the map page's strategy page. Avoid adding placeholders such as the crosshair images with just the text "caption1", an empty space is better than a placeholder space. Try and use headers using === Checkpoint A === instead of '''<big>Checkpoint A</big>''', as that's the standard. I recommend looking at another page's gallery section to see how it's done. It's also unnecessary to add stuff such as "4 minutes are added to the clock", as this is standard info on Payload maps.

Also make sure to use proper grammar and spelling, such as "BLU" instead of "Blu".

Thank you for the feedback I'm learning a great many things. Pally17 (talk) 20:45, 24 December 2022 (UTC)Pally17

Show preview

  Hi, thank you for your constant contributions to the wiki. However, please make use of the Show preview button. It gives you a preview of the edit you are making, allowing you to perfect your changes before you save the page. You can edit the whole article by clicking the edit button at the top of the page, which is preferable to editing multiple sections consecutively.
