Icon for the airforce division

Hello everyone. I am working on updating the division and division battles, and would mean a lot if someone could upload a high quality icon for that division - - the icon is visible when you ingame go and click on any war, choose current battle zone and it is just next to other icons - , , and . Special points if you can upload them in the same size as the other icons are. --AndyCro Do you need assistance? Then ask me! ;)) 16:50, 9 January 2019 (PST)

@Andycro: The closest I've found is this, which seems to be the same as in the game's sprites. Should we go with this? -- Jimkats1 | profile 18:28, 9 January 2019 (PST)

@Jimkats1: Thank you very much, I also resized it so it looks similar by size, and the quality is not that bad. You deserve something special.

You must be hungry after all the awesome editing you've done to this Wiki, have some milk and a cookie as a reward!

I uploaded icons from the profile page, but it appears to me now that might not be what you guys were looking for; if that's the case, please revert my uploads. -- Bogi・Talk 12:44, 30 January 2019 (PST)

I'm actually amazed that it took you 20 days to realize that, but ok XD. The ones you uploaded are the ones used in profiles and posts. Those that we initially had are the ones used within battles. So, we can just move the ones you uploaded to new files, and separate those two versions in something like "battle" for the initial ones and normal title for yours.-- Jimkats1 | profile 14:25, 30 January 2019 (PST)

I didn't really check, I just uploaded these because they are pretty and shiny :P Sadly, I don't think there is use for the shiny ones. If you really want to display division in profile, I guess you're looking for the blue icon. -- Bogi・Talk 14:34, 30 January 2019 (PST)

@Bogi: I honestly don't know... They are really shinny and they look quite nice, so I would just leave it :D My primary intended use was to make more visual difference when talking about Divisions and articles related to it, and it fits perfectly if you ask me as now the size and design is the same for all 5 divisions. Therefore, I would leave them. :) --AndyCro Do you need assistance? Then ask me! ;)) 17:14, 3 February 2019 (PST)

@Andycro: Well then, awesome, pretty shiny wins :D I guess we could adjust the size in the template to x25 px or so? Or make it optional? These are quite big :D -- Bogi・Talk 17:24, 3 February 2019 (PST)

Just added size as an optional parameter. -- Bogi・Talk 08:44, 4 February 2019 (PST)

Wiki rewards

Just a little reminder for editors (not gonna name anyone :P) to check wiki rewards program rules. -- Bogi・Talk 12:44, 30 January 2019 (PST)

Articles for deletion

So, I was thinking... Perhaps we should make something like eRepublik Official Wiki:Pages for deletion, where we could keep track of and archive discussions for proposed deletions. I got the idea from Wikipedia's policy, though I don't think we need to involve as much bureaucracy as they do as we have few active editors. That way: 1) we wouldn't need to keep talk page if there was a discussion 2) if we deleted talk page and then an author or someone else wanted to take a look at the reason why it was deleted, they could. This wouldn't apply to every deletion, as most cases would fall under speedy deletion (eg. removal of redirects, duplicated pages, test pages, etc.) or articles with warning. Basically the only difference would be that discussion would take place on project page rather than on talk of the page that's proposed for deletion.

Example:

Maybe even simpler solution would be to keep discussions on talk pages as they are, just move them to an archive when they are finished and include link to it when deleting a page.

Example: As discussed: eRepublik Official Wiki:Deletion archive 1#List of Legends of the New World -- Bogi・Talk 08:25, 4 February 2019 (PST)

Going with option number 2. I'll make eRepublik Official Wiki:Deletion archive 1 shortly with few of the most recent deletions listed and then link to to the deletion policy. -- Bogi・Talk 06:49, 5 February 2019 (PST)

Merge of dictionary-related pages

I see that there are 3 pages related to the definition of various eRepublik slang and terms. ERepublik jargon, ERepublik dictionary and Dictionary. Since all of them have similar context, I propose that we should merge them into 1 page, maybe named Dictionary, for more convenience probably. Also there's no reason having 3 similar pages, which sometimes is difficult to find.
The styling that could be used for the new page, would be similar to the ERepublik dictionary with the table. Most of the content I guess will be from the ERepublik jargon, so that means the new page will have sections for each of the versions mentioned in that article. For the current version, maybe not all of its content will be mentioned, we shall see. Of course the new page will fall under the category of "Playing the Game".
Don't get confused with the Abbreviations page, since that page mentions the full writing of the acronyms and some shortened words used, while dictionaries give small info about what each of those mean + for phrases.-- Jimkats1 | profile 05:00, 5 February 2019 (PST)

Agreed. Dictionary page seems to be somewhat different and could perhaps be moved to project namespace if I understand its purpose correctly. As for the rest, I'd say decide what goes to dictionary and what goes to abbreviations (so there's no doubled info) and then we can delete the unnecessary one(s). -- Bogi・Talk 06:49, 5 February 2019 (PST)
