Coloring the Blanks
What are some programs that are good for coloring the blanks? --Tinyclaw336 (talk) 23:04, August 19, 2013 (UTC)

GIMP and Paint.Net are popular. Some people also use photoshop. GIMP is the most popular, though. Neon Skylite "Just take a chance with me!" (Talk Page!)

How does the Apperentice System work?
Hi. I'm new to this wiki. I know zero about editing and I am typing this based off of the format of questions above me. Going through pages, I keep hearing about 'apprentices'. Is this some kind of system where I can get help from a senior member? Thanks! -Box
 * We no longer run the apprentice system for the general Wiki. Some of the projects do have an apprentice rank, but that's for within the indivudual project. This Wiki gives a lot of the basics for editing. If you have further questions, feel free to ask. To get you started, though: Sign comments on talk and help pages such as this with ~ and it will automatically link your userpage and put in a date. 13:10, October 26, 2013 (UTC)

My talk and whole everything on my page was erased?!?!
I had recently reached 50 edits, and now my page says I have 2. What in StarClan's power happened? Has this happened to anyone else? Do you know how to fix it? My pictures, DarkClan map and EVERYTHING was erased!!! Please help!

May StarClan light your path, Moonfire. Moonfire's  not  happy 14:47, October 27, 2013 (UTC)


 * I suspect it is that you're confused about things you've earned on one wiki. Each wiki is an independent entity which you earn your own stats for. We do /not/ do badges here at all. We do not permit non-canon content. I suspect you're looking for content from another wikia site, since you show no sign of having come here previously. 18:45, October 27, 2013 (UTC)

Help with coding and userboxes
Hello! I'm new. I don't really know how to code but what i'd really like to know is how to code a userbox. Thanks! (Some basic coding skills too.) User:RavenJayFeather November

How do you edit Lionblaze?
I saw a typo on Lionblaze's page, but when I tried to fix it, I realized there was no edit button! I made sure I was logged in and that there were edit buttons on other pages, but everything was normal! Please help me! ~DawnheartStormclan16


 * Lionblaze's article receives a multitude of edits daily, many of which deteriorate the hard work put into by the editors of the community. To counter this deterioration, it has been protected from new users. Just wait a few days after joining and then you'll have no problem I'm sure. 16:49, December 24, 2013 (UTC)

On the subject of images...
1. Does the 1 image per user page exclude a user uploaded avatar? I uploaded a warrior avatar I made, and I want to upload a wiki-style image of the same warrior.

2. Are the templates for the cat images available for download, in order to make aforementioned wiki-style image? If so, how?-- Robin flame 21:46, June 3, 2014 (UTC)


 * 1. No it does not apply to user avatars however once you upload it to warriors wiki it does apply.


 * 2. Yes they are, you can find them on PCA's page. c: 04:02, June 19, 2014 (UTC)

Charart for StarClan
I wonder if cats of StarClan shouldn't have any scars or torn ears. Why are you drawing them? The wounds are healed in StarClan, aren't they? I'm looking for the answer on your Wiki, but it's a little difficult because English isn't my native language.

--PricklyStar (talk) 22:18, January 31, 2015 (UTC)

Take that to, please. --

How Do I Do Charart?
I just want to know how to make pictures of cats. Like when you go on a cat page there is a pic someone made? How do you make those? -Blizzardheart

Hi! Just join PCA and have adequate knowledge about digital art and a program to do it. GIMP is the most popular.

However it is really cluttered. Appledash, a senior warrior of PCA has stated although it's good other projects need some love. She also once stated to join all projects. If you don't want to, join at least two. Neon Skylite "Just take a chance with me!" (Talk Page!)

Editing Pages
Are regular users allowed to edit Wiki pages-as in characters, books, etc.? Or do you need to ask for permission from an admin or something? And are all users allowed to edit the 'Ceremonies' section, or are only staff allowed to do that? (I've noticed several characters with missing Apprentice Cermonies, even if it took place in a book.)

Also, is there a rule for uploading avatars? I assume it is allowed to use a picture I took/drew, but am I allowed to use any photo from the internet that I find? I'm worried about copyright stuff and all that...

-Hello, Mapleclaw. Welcome to the wiki. Here is the policy for images--> Image UseIf I remember correctly, you might have to wait a few days to edit some articles as they've been user protected from new users. I hope this helps.--KittyLover22 (talk) 21:39, September 13, 2015 (UTC)

Infoboxes
Could you give me the code for the infoboxes? I'm having a lot of trouble with them on my own wiki (s warrior cats role-play) and I like the ones here. I hope I'm not being rude.

~Kwikstorm :3


 * I suppose if you're using wiki code editor instead of the visual editor, you may insert a userbox using the following syntax:
 * Hi! Why can’t we have comments on this wiki? Just for refistered users. I think it would be a good contribution
 * Hi! Why can’t we have comments on this wiki? Just for refistered users. I think it would be a good contribution

User Owns Into the Wild
 * It will be shown on the page as follows


 * Similarly, you can use other user boxes. In fact, if you have typed the following text in the code editor

{{User or {{User O
 * and so on, there'll be a prompt giving you some hint of the userboxes (or templates, more exactly) that you can choose. Hope you can figure this out ;-)

Not all the clan cats?!?
When I went on the thunderclan and Starclan pages there were only like nine cats! There are way more cats in that clan, like Hazeltail. There are also way more Starclan cats! Why aren't they there?

Hello, random user who hasn't left a signature so I cannot identify you!

If you mean the cats up the top, they are the most frequently viewed. Take these screenshots I did here. Firestar is a commonly viewed page, so he's up there. That's what it means for you!

Also remember to sign your posts like this. Neon Skylite "Just take a chance with me!" (Talk Page!)

Actually, lies! I copy pasted the code into there. You can only sign on talk pages, but you can also copy paste you siggy anywhere! You could put it all over your favourite character's article. (Actually, no do not do that) Just remember to use the source editor rather than the visual. A help page about siggies is here. Buh bye! -- Neon Skylite "Just take a chance with me!" (Talk Page!)

How to make a signature
I'd like to ask, how do you make a custom signature? Not the ones with the blue link, but the ones with different colored text; shadows, which are links to the userpage. I don't want anyone to do it for me, either. Thank you in advance, anyone who answers this. ~

I wouldn't suggest doing nowiki as it doesn't show anyone who you are, but there are many elements, so I'd suggest searching up CSS or HTML tutorials. Or, you could look at a Sig Tutorial. --  00:48, July 28, 2016 (UTC)

Leaders With Kits
This question is hypothetical, but if a female leader were to have kits, what would happen? Would the deputy take over for them, or would the leader pass her kits to another queen to nurse? The other thing is would the leader be frowned upon for not raising her own kits?

Signature Links
I know what I want my sig to be, figured out the coding n all, did everything the page said to do. But, every time I try to link it back to my page, all of the coding disappears and it becomes blue text. The link is still there. ??How do I keep the coding and the link because obviously they don't like each other. (I believe my current signature shows that, it should say gaylord) (this is homosneksual since my signature won't go from squiggles to my sig.)

PCA
So I joined project character art before as a kit, but I didn't do any characts because the computer just stupid. Then, next time I looked, I wasn't a kit and I wasn't in PCA at all. I'm worried it's because that I didn't do any characts yet. http://warriors.wikia.com/wiki/User:Leafmist8

Sandbox
I recently found out that users can create something called a sandbox where they can test out coding. How do you create one? I tried looking in the help contents but the link didn't link to the correct place. All help is greatly appriciated, thanks in advance. -- 16:11, June 18, 2017 (UTC)

Several things
1.I'm kind of new, and I have absolutely no idea how tO make HTML Boxes (or anything else that involves serious coding) it would really help if someone could find me a tutorial from Community Central or other.

2.How do you make shadows in your signature? No need to say more...

3.how do you make the text in your user page a different color/font?

4.How do you join a project? I'm interested in PB

On the Education of a cat
Hi there. Recently I'm trying to sort out the relations between the characters through the infoboxes. I got somewhat confused about the note ( and  ) in the Mentor and Apprentice fields. I guess  emphasizes on the short period of the apprenticeship (and is IMO somewhat "unofficially"), while   emphasizes there doesn't exist a proper ceremony for the apprenticeship. But what is the meaning of ?

--CXuesong (talk) 05:46, December 26, 2017 (UTC)

You're somewhat right with it, but temporary is also when it's officially assigned by a leader/deputy/whatnot. Such as when Sorreltail was mentored by Dustpelt while Sandstorm had her kits, or when Sorreltail herself mentored Foxpaw while Squirrelflight was away during the events of Outcast and the beginning of Eclipse. Another example would be a stand-in, such as when Graystripe played the role of ThunderClan leader (with Cinderpelt's help) while Firestar was away in Firestar's Quest (although I'm not sure we count that)... I think during Sunrise? Basically, if the original mentor/deputy/whatnot is currently unavailable (due to a journey, illness, pregnancy), and another cat is assigned or offers to take their place, then we consider that a temporary thing, especially when the original cat is expected to return to their role.

Unofficial is used less commonly, but can also be applied to this. A good example, and probably the biggest, of this is Cloudtail and Brightheart. When Cloudtail taught Brightheart, we considered it a sort of "unofficial mentorship", due to her learning from Cloudtail. While there was no ceremony, Cloudtail took Brightheart under his wing and taught her and helped her learn her own way of hunting that didn't require the use of her (now missing) second eye. Another example is when Needletail took on Violetpaw, and decided it was "time for her training" in Thunder and Shadow. There was no ceremony, no official thing from a leader, ect. Violetpaw was later officially assigned a mentor (Dawnpelt) by Rowanstar.

I should also mention that there's a bit of confusion when it comes to Brightheart and Jaypaw's relationship. Since she was officially assigned by Firestar to be Jaypaw's mentor, the relationship is not unofficial or temporary, regardless of how short it was. This is due to the fact that had Jaypaw not switched to becoming Leafpool's apprentice, he still would have continued to learn from Brightheart. There was a ceremony, mentors were officially given, and that's that. It basically all depends on how the books (and us sometimes) acknowledge the changes, somewhat. I hope this helps, I kinda just woke up and I'm not fully with it yet.


 * I see. Thanks for your patient & detailed explanation!

Can I change the prey images for Beetle and Rats??? I would really like to change the image for beetle to the beetle being described instead of a ladybug... Also the rat image is a rat species bred into domestication and not wild and im assuming there wasnt a petstore nearby that killed shadowclan!

Logged out editing
When I log out, I cannot edit pages for some reason. Not that it's a big issue, but I was just wondering why?  Ẹ Č Ĥ Ỗ Ƥ Ã Ŵ 🎄 07:46, November 13, 2018 (UTC)
