Grey and Silver+orange and pale/dark ginger
K I hope I don't sound random but isn't grey just a partial of silver? Simultaneously isn't Orange just a partial of dark/pale ginger? I dunno I just saw some cats had alts like this and decided to bring this up 03:56, April 6, 2015 (UTC)

Gray and silver are different. Silver tabbies can only have black stripes, and gray is just like a brown tabby- the stripes can be a darker version of the base. Silver-gray is a specific shade, however. But if they're just called a silver tabby, then it's different from a gray tabby. idk about orange and dark/pale ginger, though. I always thought ginger was more red, and orange was..well, orange.

Just to say, I just looked up ginger, it says "a reddish yellow or orange brown color" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 04:07, April 6, 2015 (UTC)

grey and silver are definitely different, but even if you google orange cat, you get so many different varieties of ginger cats. always seemed redundant to me to have alts for it. 04:10, April 6, 2015 (UTC)

For me I thought ginger was more yellow than orange >.> 03:48, April 9, 2015 (UTC)

Silver and gray are different, but Gray-silver is different too, like golden and brown is different, but so is golden-brown. Didn't one of the Erin's say that they see ginger as a orange colour? Someone posted a link about it here. 08:53, April 15, 2015 (UTC)

Ginger = reddish yellow/orangey-brown. 00:20, April 29, 2015 (UTC)

Ginger and orange are the same thing. Ginger is just another word for an orange cat. If you look at a fire in real life, you'll see that it is orange, which is the color of what Firestar's pelt would look like. Also, I believe ginger cats are also called red cats in real life; I can look it up. It's not because they're actually red, it's because they look red. Squirrelflight and Russetfur are two examples. Basically, I just think that having alts for ginger cats is just another excuse for more characts. Songheart (talk) 02:21, June 25, 2015 (UTC)Songheart

Leader blanks for non-clan leaders
I've been reading through the archives, and I've noticed this topic has been brought up many times, but has kept being ignored. So I'd like to bring this up again.

Basically, I think Furled Bracken, Stone Song and Jingo should get leader blanks, as they were specifically called leaders, especially Furled Bracken and Stone Song. I know the leader blanks are only for clan cats, but we can easily allow them to be used on non clan leaders.

Thoughts? 09:19, April 6, 2015 (UTC)

No. While it seems plausible to give them leader blanks since they /were/ technically leaders, they never recieved nine lives or a leader name from starclan. It could also confuse anons and guests to the wiki browsing through the pages to see a rogue/loner with a clan leader image. Its unnecessary since theres only a handful of cats who'd need it, and even if they are the leader figure to some cats, they're /still/ rogues and loners. Its 5am, so forgive me if im not making any sense.. x.x 09:11, April 7, 2015 (UTC)

I'm neither agreeing or diagreeing, just poking in to say that the amount doesn't matter. after all, there's only 3 stoneteller blanks in use and likely won't go above 5 if that ever changes. 09:14, April 7, 2015 (UTC)

We've already said no multiple times. I don't understand why this keeps being brought up- it seems like an excuse for more images and each time we've come to the consensus that they do not get leader images- majority rules.

From what I've seen, it keep getting ignored whenever it has been brought up ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ but okay. I only brought it up because I thought it was unfinished topic. 11:44, April 7, 2015 (UTC)

It's not unfinished- we've already said multiple times (going back long before most of the active users joined) that they don't get leader images, since the leader blanks are for those who've been recognized as leaders by StarClan, with their names, their nine lives, who've actually been leader for a short time (Brightwhisker's case), ect. Jingo, Furled Bracken, and Stone Song do not meet the qualifications to obtain a leader image. It doesn't get ignored- not getting the answer you want isn't ignoring a topic. The discussions are archived' because they sit there with no comments, thus ending the debate.

This seems quite ignored to me, nobody responded to Jayie after they posted their comment (except for Stealth, who wasn't replied to too) so I thought I'd bring it up again, to see what you all think. And it's not and excuse to make more chararts- suggesting a new idea isn't really an excuse, Imho. So if it's disagreed that they would get images then I'm cool with that. 12:46, April 7, 2015 (UTC)

Did Graywing get his nine lives? 0.0 02:02, April 9, 2015 (UTC)

If it goes without comments, I archive it. That's considered finished, since no one else wanted to continue the discussion. We also have a citation for Graywing, Bramble, hence why he has a leader image. The citation for that comes long before Dawn of the Clans. Hell, I think that was a Secrets of the Clans cite, which has probably been around longer than I've been on the wiki...

I think they get blanks, but not Clan Leader blanks. Maybe new ones need to be made or something. Please don't say I'm trying to make art to do, because I'm not like that. There's plenty of art to do anyway. 08:51, April 15, 2015 (UTC)

Sorry, but I'm against it. They are basically loners/rogues. 00:26, April 29, 2015 (UTC)

Can we get some more opinions on this? 04:24, June 2, 2015 (UTC)

I agree with Stealth, I think they should get blanks because they /are/ technically leaders of their own groups, but they aren't Clan leaders so they shouldn't get Clan leader blanks. There is enough art to do at the moment, so I'm not trying to make more art, but I'm not fully against this suggestion 05:27, June 7, 2015 (UTC)

I don't think more blanks for non official roles is necessary sorry Storm  &#9835;  12:29, June 7, 2015 (UTC)

Stripes on Brown Cats
I think on all the solid brown cats, they should be tabbies. Unless they are Havana Browns, which they are probably not, because Clan cats are mixed breeds. Most mixed breed brown cats are tabbies, and the same goes for gray cats. Unless, like Briarlight, they are said as solid brown or grays or any other colors, those should be tabbies. So, thoughts? 16:06, May 17, 2015 (UTC)

The series is unrealistic and unless they're specifically called tabbies, I don't think we should make them tabbies. It's too much unnecessary tweaking.

I agree with Snowman, honestly. It's unnecessary. 16:35, May 17, 2015 (UTC)

^ Storm  &#9835;  18:04, May 17, 2015 (UTC)

I agree too. 21:50, May 17, 2015 (UTC)

Me, too. Pretty much every cat has tabby markings of some form except for, like, pure black and white cats. We'd have to tweak a great number of the chararts on the wiki, which would be a lot of unnecessary tweaking. Sorry. 22:48, May 17, 2015 (UTC)

I actually think it should be made optional if the artist decides to add stripes or not if it isn't specified that they are solid. 01:32, May 22, 2015 (UTC)

Yeah, and if we make it optional, it'll turn mandatory. Seriously, unless they're called a tabby, please don't make them a tabby.

Agreeing with others - it's unnessary and frankly I feel like it's just another way for people to rack up more tweaks. At most let's just leave it optional for future chararts. 02:01, May 24, 2015 (UTC)

I agree with Snow. If they aren't described as a tabby, we shouldn't be making them a tabby, imho. This project isn't really about realism, it's about making art to fit the description of the characters, right? 00:52, May 25, 2015 (UTC)

The project's mission statement is to make art for each and every cat in the Warriors series that we have descriptions for. It is not to implement hyper-realism in our chararts. This seems like another way to claim more images for tweaking, which everyone seems to really like doing nowadays. Unless the Erins say "our brown cats are tabbies", then I really don't think we should even be thinking of doing it- we're losing the unrealistic feel that Warriors has because all people want to do is tweak images so they have a claim to them.

I just saw a couple solid brown wild cats a few months ago. 10:43, May 26, 2015 (UTC)

no, i dont think we should put stripes on them, considering how goddamn many there are. not to mention the erins probably DO imagine them solid brown, and its just excuses to tweak at this point. if youre gonna point oyut the ginger cats should be solid im gonna stop them there, because its far to late to change that either. 12:40, May 26, 2015 (UTC)

Rheumy-eyed Cats
I looked up what Rheumy eyes mean, it means the eyes are full of rheum. Rheum is a sort of liquid discharge that is around the eyes, and can dry into flakes. a picture shows how significant it affects a cat's looks. I should know as my own cat has it. It also looks like it makes the skin around the eyes a bit more visible too.

The cats that have rheumy eyes so far are Starlingfeather, Purdy and Runningnose, so I don't think it would be a hard to tweak them to have the rheumy eyes. 06:28, May 22, 2015 (UTC)

Right. 07:21, May 22, 2015 (UTC)

i wouldnt be hugely against it, although two of those 3 cats are now dead and confirmed in starclan, so i dont know if thatd affect it. (either way im gonna want all my images lmao) 12:35, May 22, 2015 (UTC)

I'd suggest leaving the StarClan images, since we're not sure. We could just tweak the ranks they were stated to have the eyes in (if it's a medical problem? I'm not sure, because if it's a permanent thing they live with they'd get it on all their living ranks) 10:47, May 25, 2015 (UTC)

It's both. Cats can be born with it or develop it. I think the Erin's associate it with age though, so probably not StarClan images. 22:37, May 25, 2015 (UTC)

Leaving
Hi guys. I've been really inactive right now, and it's because of life. There have been sudden changes, and those changes are affecting me in a way I can't be active here anymore. It's too much. Who knows, maybe life will stop hitting me and I might come back and stop being inactive. For now, I guess I will revoke my SW status. It's been great with y'all. For now, I guess this is goodbye. 00:40, May 23, 2015 (UTC)

You're leaving D: we'll miss you. Thanks for your dedication to PCA. I hope your life goes well. 02:46, May 23, 2015 (UTC)

OMG ;_________________________; I wish you the best luck in life. Goodbye, Tiger, you've been a great friend. D: Thank you for your dedication to PCA. 02:48, May 23, 2015 (UTC)

So sorry o see you go. I hope you can get on with life, and maybe return one day. 03:37, May 23, 2015 (UTC)

I hope you come back!!! I know you've been a nice and patient SW although I don't know you that much. 10:45, May 26, 2015 (UTC)

"It's fine"
Okay, now I've had about more than enough of the "it's fine" excuse. As someone who has been in this project longer than all active members, save for Scarletwind, I have never seen the project get this bad. The "it's fine" excuse is just a way of getting out of doing a critique, and it needs to stop. And I do mean now. Consider this an official warning, PCA.

If I continue to see this excuse in excess, I can and will be issuing official warnings to those in question regardless of rank in PCA. I don't care how rude this may seem, or how good of an artist you think you are. This should not have to come to a debate on almost every other image on the page. I'm not speaking as the deputy of the project- I'm speaking as one of the admins. I'm sick of it, the other members are sick of it, and it needs to stop.

I agree to this. When I first joined PCA, I used that phrase way too often, admittedly, it was because I couldn't be bothered to change anything. Back then had just wanted to move on with this image and jump to the other. I hadn't used that phrase for ages, and when I look back at some of my older comments I actually have a good laugh about it.

Honestly, this whole "its fine" not only is being lazy, but being stubborn, haughty and extremely rude towards the commenters. 12:33, May 23, 2015 (UTC)

I agree as well. As an artist, you're supposed to accept critique given from others. Art is about critique, it is critique. That's how you improve. I've seen way too much of this on DeviantART, as well as here, and I don't like it any more than you do. The "it's fine" thing not only borderlines lazy, stubborn, and rude, as Burnt said above, but it also borderlines being stuck up, ignorant, and just plain defensive. I mean, as an artist, not only is critique the way for you to improve, but it helps you learn. Sometimes I just don't understand people. Storm &#9835;  13:41, May 23, 2015 (UTC)

I find I don't do it so much, but when I think my image doesn't need a tweak, I explain why and mention that I will change it anyway if other people agree it needs a change. I think just saying "it's fine" is too short and lazy. Please explain why it doesn't need a tweak, but admit if other people disagree then you will change it. Simple as that. 23:35, May 23, 2015 (UTC)

I think it's only excuable if there's a legitmate reason for it [Like you color picked from the other images, etc. etc.] and otherwise, like the others said, 'it's fine' isn't a valid excuse. 02:00, May 24, 2015 (UTC)

I agree. I do seem to be seeing a lot of the "it's fine" thing. I mean, I'm not opposed to people saying it every once in a while when they actually have a legitimate reason for rejecting the criticism but just saying "it's fine" every other comment just because you're too lazy shouldn't be acceptable. I try to avoid doing it as much as possible. Besides, if you just go with the flow, it can actually get your images approved faster than if you fight every comment. 00:40, May 25, 2015 (UTC)


 * While I am not entirely on board with the idea of issuing warnings, I do believe these excuses need to be eliminated. I think it's a bit of a stretch for a PCA excuse to be equivalent to disregarding others' opinions needing staff to step in, but I will propose that the leaders in this project step up a bit. If a user passes off reuploading their image 2-3 times through unreasonable excuses, their image should be declined. It should not be up to the staff to dictate and enforce rules in projects when there are leaders who can do so just as easily if not more so.


 * At the same time, comments can be just as frustrating as these excuses. Users should take a bit of initiative and explain their comments if it seems like it could be debatable. Honestly, if you cannot find a valid reason for your critique, then perhaps it really is not necessary. Similarly, artists who pass off comments with "it's fine" or likewise excuses should probably explain why they're choosing not to do it. 00:58, May 25, 2015 (UTC)


 * See, the thing is, I am both staff and the deputy of the project. I should not have to exert both my rights as admin, and as the second-in-command of the project to get this through to everyone. It is not the first time I've done this, and it certainly won't be the last if users are allowed to keep using the excuse. I've had it done to me before, and some of the ones who have said "it's fine" are only doing it to pass off and ignore the comments of other users. Not everyone has the same skill level, and I've noticed the "it's fine" comments are usually directed at...those who are a bit less skilled or new to the project.


 * While it shouldn't be up to outside staff, I am not one of those. Just because I am an admin, doesn't mean I am not activity involved in the project, and I won't stay impartial to this when it's something I'm very much involved in, despite the problems. I cannot help that users are refusing to do things that are asked of them, and it really seems like threatening them with a warning is one of the only options that we (PCA) have left to do. No one listened to me the last time I said any of this, and quite frankly, I'm getting sick and tired of being disregarded, and everything just goes back to how it was before I even said anything. I want this to stop now. Otherwise, we might as well eliminate the approval and tweak pages, since the whole point is to post them for critique. If you do not accept those critiques, you are in fact being disrespectful and you're disregarding the words of others since you feel your image is perfect and you don't want to accept that someone may have found something worth changing. While it's been said that you are your worst critic, you're also the first who doesn't want to change anything if it's pointed out.


 * I've tried being nice before, and I have gotten ignored. It always seems to come down to me calling out users and being rude. I did it over a year ago when the wiki was dead in an attempt to bring back activity, and I'll do it again if it gets through to people.


 * I agree, definitely - it can be rather irritating, seeing users saying 'It's fine' because they're being lazy. But then there are people who think it looks genuinely fine and don't want to make something look over-done (as in over-blurring shading or something). As long as they sound genuine and provide a perfectly honest, valid reasoning, they don't need a warning. Just an opinion of another user to justify as to whether it really is 'fine'. 01:42, May 25, 2015 (UTC)


 * No, you should not be exerting both the privileges of an admin as well as deputy. It's pretty ridiculous for staff to enforce rules that are project-restricted when there are users in place to enforce them and members who should be responsible enough to not let this get out of hand. On the other hand though, how are you exerting your power as deputy though aside from simple talk page discussions or warnings though? Take action. Like I said previously, decline their image if it gets to be unreasonable or at least implement and enforce a rule that discourages that behavior. Obviously talk page discussions or warnings aren't getting too far, so as leads and as members, no matter what rank, we should help create and enforce something to prevent this complacency. 01:47, May 25, 2015 (UTC)

Yes, but sometimes it'd be silly if someone goes like "you need to remove the shading off the tail"  just a silly example what are you gonna say besides saying 'it's fine'? Change the word "fine" into "okay"? But are you actually going do things if they seem to be wrong? My comments very oftenly get ignored or denied, and I'm fine with that because I'm still learning. Everyone makes mistakes just as people said about the images, and they make mistakes on comments too. What are you gonna do about that then? I definitely agree with you, but I'm just trying to make this clear. I might sound like a total stub but as I've said - I'm still learning. 14:12, May 25, 2015 (UTC)

You could always say something like "I can't remove that shading, as it would invalidate my light source" or something else, and explain why you wouldn't be removing the shading. Everyone makes mistakes, yes, but some of these aren't mistakes and very legitimate comments which have no real reason to be disregarded, regardless of skill level. Otherwise, we seriously might as well just get rid of the approval page.

Guess what, you're incredibly right. But what about something that's kind of personal? For example, if I say "define earpink", and they reply with "I can see it fine", what do we do? Now we need more users to prove who's right, and that eventually leads to a debate sorta thing. 14:20, May 25, 2015 (UTC)

You could easily explain why you think the earpink needs to be defined to substantiate your critique and make it less of a demand. Similarly, anyone who bothers reading comments previously (which users should to avoid potential repetition) could easily agree or disagree with the artist's response. 17:04, May 25, 2015 (UTC)

I honestly think that it shouldn't be used at all, however I find that more users should comment on one thing because sometimes I want more opinions on certain comments. It can actually clear things up instead of just saying, "Oh it's fine, whatever." 23:30 Tue May 26

A while ago, there used to be a pretty common practice of saying "I think it's fine but if others agree, I will change it" why not just go back to that? If more than one user can find fault with an aspect of an image, then it's worth changing, but simply having one word against another may just be users' opinions in shading or art style clashing, which is not faulty. It's just something that comes with the territory.

In my own practice, I've tried to stay away from the "it's fine" trend, but I do agree that it does get a bit out of hand. But PCA has always allowed artists to defend their art choices and I see no reason for that to stop now. With PCA being a project, there are going to be differences in opinions 20:31, May 27, 2015 (UTC)

Rejoin??
I would like to rejoin Charart, because I don't have homework anymore. Thank you! :)  17:37, May 24, 2015 (UTC)

Sorry if I sound extremely annoying, but can someone please reply to this? Sorry again, and I know this project is busy! 15:22, June 5, 2015 (UTC)

Not at all, thank you for your patience~ what rank were you when you left? Just let me know and I'll pop you back in! 17:07, June 5, 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I've finally decided that I want to rejoin this project so if you could please? Thank you <3. —  ☁ ｷﾉ尺尺乇ﾚ  courage doesn't always roar!  18:09, May 24, 2015 (UTC)

-*purrs* am I even allowed to comment here... 14:16, May 25, 2015 (UTC)

Welcome back! Remind me, what rank were you when you left? I've forgotten! Also, Silver, I think you should refrain from random and non-useful comments, although I'm not sure. Sorry if I sound annoying ;) 21:47, June 2, 2015 (UTC)

Badgerfang Warrior?
Badgerfang's page lists him as a warrior (which I agree to) but we don't have a warrior image for him. Is he just too small and young to get one? We could just shrink down a warrior image or something. 07:29, May 26, 2015 (UTC)

Wasn't it because it wasn't official, or something? It was just a new name, but he didn't get the rank it usually came with? 09:45, May 26, 2015 (UTC)

But I think he died before Flintfang named him a warrior?? 09:17, May 26, 2015 (UTC)

Why did you remove my first comment, man?? You can't just remove something I said. >_< 09:45, May 26, 2015 (UTC)

Me? I saw it on my email and checked it and nothing happened, I was wandering about that too. I didn't delete it, probably because I commented like right after you 0.0 09:51, May 26, 2015 (UTC)

the warriors are for adult sized cats only, he has the name and everythng bu he doesn't get the blank. it's like kits not getting a rogue image; they're not scaled fora kitten. 11:45, May 26, 2015 (UTC)

I agree. he shouldn't get a warrior image. 11:50, May 26, 2015 (UTC)

The apprentice is not kitten sized either :P still, he didn't officially become a warrior at any point of the book. The mentor themselves can't make them guadruate without the leader's permission and why I'm bullcrapping things everyone already knows here XP. 11:54, May 26, 2015 (UTC)

the apprentice is way closer in size to a kitten, and it's used for anything from still kitten sized to basically full grown by the time they're ready to become a warrior, so that's fine. and i guess it's an unofficial thing, but cats were referring to him with the name. (aka thats how he introduced himself when giving tigerstar a life) 11:56, May 26, 2015 (UTC)

Fernshade
Why doesn't Fernshade have lumpy fur on her queen image? 09:20, May 26, 2015 (UTC)

When she was a queen her fur was sleek lol 09:51, May 26, 2015 (UTC)

XPPP but I thought she became a warrior before becoming a queen? Becoming a queen fixes her pelt just doesn't seem to make sense... I'm confused, that's all :P 09:53, May 26, 2015 (UTC)

But she was a warrior after she became a queen too 09:59, May 26, 2015 (UTC)

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh right :P 10:12, May 26, 2015 (UTC)

Sharpclaw Deputy and Warrior Alts
Ok so im not a warrior yet so i cant post this up on the nominations board. But I wanted this to be looked at. The Deputy and Warrior alt are two completly different Base colours. Either that or the deputy has highlights. And also, the shading on the legs for the deputy could be defined a bit. Just wanting to touch up on this. 20:03, May 30, 2015 (UTC)

Anyone can nominate tweaks, just only warriors and above can vote. So if you like you can nominate it on the tweak nominations page =) 23:42, May 30, 2015 (UTC)

Alts do not have to match, so I don't think it would need it. 19:32, May 31, 2015 (UTC)

if theyre for the same thing, then they are supposed to match. its stupid to not. 19:35, May 31, 2015 (UTC)

I'll say the same thing I said for Lilyheart, which is what David's said already. If they're for the same thing, they need to match. It's not fair to the artists of the original design, especially since they came up with the first design. All the character did was change rank- nothing more, nothing less. There is no legitimate reason those alts should not match each other, since it's just a different rank.

But are the Deputy and the Warrior Alt the same? right..? 21:26, May 31, 2015 (UTC)

nudge-- 22:00, June 2, 2015 (UTC)

They're on the tweak page right now~ 17:06, June 5, 2015 (UTC)

Tigerstar - Cream Tabby Alt
I'm not sure if this is the right place to bring this up, so I apologise in advance if not. On the cover of Return to the Clans, Tigerstar is depicted as a cream tabby, and I wonder, would he recieve an alt. for this? Considering many others have recieved alts for their depictions in the manga. My mistake if this has already been brought up. 20:39, May 30, 2015 (UTC)

Do we have proof that it's tigerstar? Even though it's obvious 03:38, May 31, 2015 (UTC)

It's obvious it's Tigerstar, but there's no cite for him being on the cover. Otherwise, he'd already have an alt for that.

Then what about an alt for him in the book? He is dark-coloured, and he doesn't look dark-coloured to me in the graphic novels. 04:40, June 1, 2015 (UTC)

yeah sure lets make alts for every cat because theyre not the exact specific shade. christ. still technically dont know what colour he is in that and its not like hes solid so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 06:23, June 1, 2015 (UTC)

Does he look dark to you in the books? I'm just pointing out he doesn't look dark-coloured in the books. I don't even know if it qualifies enough for an alt but it is something. I think that was a little bit overreacted there. 06:33, June 1, 2015 (UTC)

re-join
was removed due to inactivity, can I have back in? 23:46, 05/31/2015

Of course- I'll add you back in as a warrior. Welcome back Ferk. =) 21:53, June 1, 2015 (UTC)

Hi! Can I join this project? ShyFog (talk) 23:51, May 31, 2015 (UTC)

Sure! I'll add you in now; welcome to the project! 21:38, June 2, 2015 (UTC)

Alts
i dont even know if this is an official rule (if its not it should be), but basically people doing alts that are about the same error or whatever: they SHOULD match. it doesn't make sense for them not to, there's absolutely no reason for them to not, and like jayce has said, they're only changing rank, not the pattern. it's rude to the artist of whichever alt image for said error came first, if you want to make a pattern, then find another image. sorry, but if you haven't made the alt for the same error first, then you don't get to make the pattern. 19:21, June 1, 2015 (UTC)

I completely agree with this. It can really get confusing, especially to visitors to the wiki to see more than one version of a tortie/tabby alt looking drastically different from each other just because its a different rank. 21:52, June 1, 2015 (UTC)

I definitely agree with this. It just doesn't make sense, it's the same mistake, and with cases like Mapleshade, the mistake might become official. Lilyheart is a good example. The Erin's might decide she is tortoiseshell and white, but the pattern is similar yes but not close enough. Then we would need a tweak and possibly a redo, when we could easily just make the pattern the same and there's no fussing. 21:55, June 1, 2015 (UTC)

New blanks
I'm not part of project charart... but... ive been thinking that the Dark Forest trainees (ex. Ivypool, Thornclaw) should get blanks.

I also think that cats who were Dark Forest mentors should get blanks. (Ex. Hawkfrost, Ivypool)

Emberstar   Floating in the stars of ember 04:12, June 3, 2015 (UTC)

Hawkfrost would get one, because he is literally dead and in the Dark Forest. But I don't think living trainees/mentors get them like Ivypool and Thornclaw 22:53, June 4, 2015 (UTC)

There are currently Dark Forest blanks in the approval stage. Storm &#9835;  22:55, June 4, 2015 (UTC)

But there were more then just a couple cats who trained in the dark forest... oh and while on the subject of blanks... do mentors have blanks? (U know like Firestar was mentor to Cinderpelt for a while)  Emberstar    Floating in the stars of ember 05:33, June 5, 2015 (UTC)

no, mentors dont NEED blanks. theyre still warriors and all theyre doing is training a younger cats. why does everyone think a blank is needed for everything >.> 09:52, June 5, 2015 (UTC)

Agreeing with the above comment. Mentors are still warriors, deputies, medicine cats, whatever their rank is, same thing for those who are dark forest apprentices/warriors so they don't need an extra blank. 20:38, June 5, 2015 (UTC)

I agree with the above comments. It isn't necessary. 21:02, June 5, 2015 (UTC)

Cloudy Sun's ancient image
I noticed that on Cloudy Sun's page that she has an ancient image, but has no cite for ever being an ancient. All it says was that Jagged Lightning said that moving to the mountains was a disaster. It doesn't prove, however, that Cloudy Sun was ever one of the cats to move from the lake to the mountains, nor Jagged Lightning. Storm &#9835;  17:21, June 8, 2015 (UTC)

They moved to the mountains with the rest of them, and were featured in Sign of the Moon, therefore they get ancient images.

Ivypool's Alt Warrior Image
When Ivypool's 3rd alt warrior image was recently added to her page, the coding was messed up so that it read "Warrior.alt3" when it should have read "warrior.alt3" and making it so the alt isn't visible on her page like it should be. I didn't want to edit it since I'm not a PCA lead, can someone please fix it? 00:21, June 9, 2015 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure you can fix the coding yourself, it's perfectly acceptable 00:24, June 9, 2015 (UTC)

Fixing a typo is one thing, but adding, removing, or rearranging images without permission is another.

All right, and thanks for fixing it :) I just wasn't sure whether I was allowed to do that, so I just wanted to be on the safe side. 21:16, June 9, 2015 (UTC)

DF Female short hair and DF long haired male
When should they be added? Also, are you allowed to post an image if the male/female variant of the blank isn't on the wiki? I'm kind of confused. 14:12, June 12, 2015 (UTC)

whenever jayie decides to upload them probably, and just add/remove the eyelash as needed until then. 14:23, June 12, 2015 (UTC)

Stepping down, atleast temporarily.
Hey ya'll. As you may have noticed, my activity has been drastically lower than i'd have liked, mainly due to school and the lack of a computer to use at the moment. I've thought hard about this, and i've decided to step down from my position as SW, atleast for now. I have no idea when i'll be getting another computer, so chararts from me will be almost non-existent. Im only rendered to using my phone to surf the wiki, but I will still be active in commenting on images and such, but for now thats all you'll be seeing from me. I'm terribly sorry about this, and i will for sure bring my activity and contributions up once im able to get a new one. Its not fair to any of you, especially the other SW's, to do my duty ontop of their own when im unable to. Ill still be here, so i'd rather not be removed from the project, if thats alright. Thank you.~ 02:09, June 13, 2015 (UTC)

You were good SW, I'm glad you're staying around. 02:12, June 13, 2015 (UTC)

Join
May I please join this project? 00:52, June 14, 2015 (UTC)

Sure. I'll add you in. Check the apprentice tutorials and the guidelines please, and welcome to PCA! 08:43, June 14, 2015 (UTC)

Sandgorse's eyes
His eye colour has been changed to amber, so his eyes need to be tweaked. 09:10, June 18, 2015 (UTC)

As the OA of both images, I'll upload them when I get home. People have habits of changing eye styles when they reupload and that is quite tedious. My images = my eye styles.

Coming Soon Image
How about we have a coming soon image for cats who don't have a charact yet? I think it would be a great idea, as people don't need to try to readd old images back in. Songheart (talk) 21:33, June 18, 2015 (UTC)Songheart

This is a great idea! I agree Storm  &#9835;  21:34, June 18, 2015 (UTC)

That's not a bad idea. I remember on the Appledusk page before the StarClan image was approved, people kept adding the warrior image back when it was no supposed to. I agree with this. 21:49, June 18, 2015 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but I'll have to disagree. It seems unnecessary, since it's going to be replaced eventually - and 'Coming Soon' isn't even a rank. 21:57, June 18, 2015 (UTC)

Hmm, it doesn't really need to be an image. It could just be the words 'Coming Soon'. 22:27, June 18, 2015 (UTC)

Even so, I don't think it will really do anything the no-image thing doesn't. I believe people will still try to change it because they'll think it just hadn't been updated yet. So I have to agree with Sorrel that it's not really necessary. 22:41, June 18, 2015 (UTC)

its not our fault if people are too lazy to look up their current ranks, and its really a waste of time anyway. 22:43, June 18, 2015 (UTC)

No one's gonna respect that anyways and they'll still keep trying to change the image. It is a good idea, don't get me wrong. And in a long-term run (like for when we got new apprentices and were redoing the apprentice blanks; or when we redid the queen blanks), that would be useful for those who need certain images as their main ones...but just in general? Not sure if there's any difference between that and the noimage.png file we already use.

Little Mew
Little Mew has a charart, which I guess was taken out of use because she didn't have a gender. Now, Vicky said on her Facebook that Little Mew is female. Just asking, would we switch the gender of the blank (since the current version is on the male blank) and use that image, or would she not get an image because of some other reason? 23:41, June 18, 2015 (UTC)

Just change the gender on the blank- there's no legitimate reason to waste a perfectly fine image so someone else can make a new one.

All right - should I nominate it as a tweak or something? 00:00, June 19, 2015 (UTC)

Elder's ranking for the project
Okay, so im not sure how well this'll go with everyone, but its worth a try. Instead of removing experienced members who have gone inactive for more than a month (warriors and up), perhaps we could add an "elders" ranking? Ive seen this on other wiki's, and I personally think this could be a great way to honor some of the users who have since left, but contributed massively to this project. And if they were to ever become active in the project again, they could return to warrior status with the other members. Thoughts? 01:09, June 19, 2015 (UTC)

I remove for inactivity, regardless of rank. If they want to rejoin, they can just repost a join request or come and ask one of us in chat- it's really no big deal. Given that most of the users that go inactive don't come back for weeks at a time, having an elder rank doesn't make sense. They're not stripped of their warrior ranking or anything, and an apprentice isn't demoted to a kit, or whatever have you. They're just removed from the project in name only- they can still post comments, images, ect.

It's not so much editing as it can be honoring people. Like, we could honor the people who have worked so hard for PCA But are still unable to contribute due to their lack of time. Elders could just be people who are mentioned and may not be apart of the project, but will be remembered as large contributors to the project. 02:23, June 19, 2015 (UTC)

What would qualify as working hard for the project, though? Former leaders, deputies, and senior warriors? Because I know plenty of warriors who never got to leadership that gave everything for the project and then some. Many many users have played an important part in PCA over the years, and I don't know if doing that^ would be quite the best idea... would we include all past leads and warriors that we can name? Because that list would be bigger than the current memberlist...

In my mind it could be the former leads. They at least should be honored in some way or another. Elders are honored in Clans, and that should be the same for here, considering the leads weren't appointed just for fun. 02:29, June 19, 2015 (UTC)

Oh, I know. But my memory of the "elder" rank were users that went inactive and were set to be removed from the project- they weren't honorary members or anything of the sort. I see the point, but how "good" they were for the project can vary depending on what person you talk to, and I don't think some of the old leads even want to be associated with PCA anymore.

Elder's rank is kinda pointless imo. It doesn't really do anything to benefit the project or say what the member can do it would just be a list of names. 4:39 Fri Jun 19 2015
