Rollback
Hi, Stealthfire! I promoted you to rollback and I sincerely apologize for the delay! Thanks. 02:59, May 20, 2015 (UTC)

Re:Category Mumbo-Jumbo
All you do is edit the redirect pages, actually! Like, for Snooky, you'd edit Snookthorn instead, since that's the name he had when he was a Daylight Warrior. The same could be said for Rusty, instead of Firestar. In order to edit the redirect, you'll need to make sure that ?redirect=no is in the url, otherwise, you'll get this, instead of what you get in the first screenshot I linked. Alternatively, instead of typing the redirect part, you can also click on the text that says "Redirected from [page name]." Remember, categories always go with names, not the pages themselves. Rusty would be a kittypet, but Firestar would not be. Leafpaw would be a character in Dawn, but Leafpool would not be, as she didn't get her full medicine cat name until Starlight.

I'm thinking of writing up a basic "how to edit" guide one of these days when I'm not swamped with work... that would include the categories, redirects, the mission statements of each project, ect. lol I don't have off until Tuesday night, so that's why I didn't answer you back right away. I'm night shift, so I work 11 PM EST (sometimes 10 PM EST) 7 AM EST... which is...umm... 3 AM (or 2 AM) - 11 AM on the wiki clock.

Mentorship
Thank you much. <3 When can we start? :3 -- Nachtide  The  Wikian   Squad 23:57, May 22, 2015 (UTC)

Cool. :3 And are you able to go in chat? -- Nachtide  The  Wikian   Squad 01:22, May 23, 2015 (UTC)

Quotes
Please don't get mad at me for removing some of what you've added. ;-; Quotes are amazing and all, but sometimes... a character just doesn't need any, as there's nothing important that they've said. When we started the quote thing a very very long time ago, the point was to bring light to the vital parts of the series- like Sorreltail's comments about loyalty, Millie taking pride in being a kittypet, Cloudtail's loyalty to his Clan, ect. It's not quite used just to add every little thing that's been said. Hell, sometimes, a quote is better as a normal quote and not a main one.

Take Sunspots' quote for example- I actually think combining that one with the one you tried to add, along with more context and other clues, might be a good one for her article just in the quotes section- that would eliminate her main quote and leave her with just the one in a quotes section... which is perfectly acceptable- an article doesn't always need a quote, because tbh, sometimes it just doesn't work out that way and there isn't anything good enough. This happens a lot with minor characters or one-line "character of the day" cats. Just adding narrator quotes about how a character jumps onto a rock, says something about a hunting patrol, ect, isn't quiiiite what the quotes were intended for.

I hope you don't think I'm trying to undermine you or chase you away or anything- Atelda and I really do appreciate all of the work you're doing for the wiki, and we're both so impressed to see someone who wants to edit because they enjoy it, not because they feel obligated to. I'm just trying to give you a bit more understanding as to what certain things are and what they're better used for. Keep up the amazing work- you're doing phenomenally and I hope you'll stick around for a long time. =) I may only be a SW in PC, but I've been helping the project out for many years now, so I'm always able to shed some light on something you're confused about. That being said, Atelda and Beebs can also help, as they've been around in PC for ages as well.

Longtail
Okay, so I have five layers to this image:
 * The bottom layer is just the normal image.
 * The second layer is a cream color, (#DBCDB3) which is set to the layer mode "Color Burn" at 26%. I erased the color change around the eyes and ears.
 * The third layer is a darker cream color, (#998662) which is set on the layer mode "Multiply" at 100%. As above, I erased the coloring in the same place as above.
 * The fourth layer is an orange color, (#C57B33) which is set on the layer mode "Screen" at 24%. What I also did with this layer was erase the coloring above the stripes, so they looked like the black stripes that he should have. It shouldn't take too long with a small brush- it took me maybe.. five to ten minutes, at the most. With this layer, you should also do as before and erase the extra coloring on the eyes and the ears- we don't want to change the color for those.
 * The fifth layer is just the lineart.

What I also use is something called a Clipping Mask. Now, I'm unsure if GIMP has this option, (I suspect that it doesn't) but on the off chance it does, I highly suggest using it. What it does is clips the colors to the bottom layer, as seen with this screenshot, and it's much easier when trying to make sure your image doesn't have any waste. You'll need to use those colors exactly if you're trying to get the results that I did.

And that's basically everything for Longtail's StarClan image. I mean, I also tweaked the tail lineart, but that's on a separate .psd file so I didn't mess up my colors. tbh, that's probably one of my best color tweaks to date, and I've done a fair bit of them for practice.

Re:
Not quite, but you're not too far off. I'm at work right now, so I can't help- I'll be home in a few hours though. =)

Re:
Since you asked ahead of time, yes, you may. My issue is when people don't ask and just assume they can do whatever they please. =P

RE::
Sorry. ;.; I keep forgetting to respond. Anyway, I have not yet made tweaks. x.x -- Nachtide  The  Wikian   Squad 05:44, June 25, 2015 (UTC)

Re:
Why, of course! And just for future reference, you are always welcome to recycle my linear arts =) 08:24, June 27, 2015 (UTC)
