{{About|Anything related to the maintenance or improvement of this wiki.}}

== Tabs vs TabberNeue ==
#Look into switching over to [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:TabberNeue TabberNeue] since the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Tabs Tabs] extension may not be available in future MediaWiki versions.

== Standardization ==
{{About|Parts of the wiki that don't match related parts of the wiki.}}
# [https://old.reddit.com/r/heroes3/comments/1jfvc0e/heroes_3_artbook_sketchbook_chinese_get_it_here/ There's a Chinese HoMM3 manual] available, with original art for all heroes, skills, creatures, buildings, and map objects. Do you think its pictures could be added to the relevant articles' galleries?
#* See [[:Category:Chinese Artbook]].

== Aesthetics ==
{{About|Any visual issues with the wiki (e.g. color schemes, text alignment, generally gross-looking pages).}}
# [[Template Editor]]: This page has long lists of numbers. Could benefit from turning a lot of this info into a table (and maybe add a few pictures).
# Scrolling left-right on a page causes the left sidebar to overlay the page text. See [[Grail]] for an example (may need to make the browser window smaller to see the scrollbar).
#* I tried setting the table max-width to 100% in css. It allows tables to compress further. Images still prevent further compression of the table. So we should see this issue less often. –[[user_talk:imahero|imahero]] 21:16, 22 March 2025 (UTC)

== Template (advanced) ==
{{About|Issues with templates used on this wiki. Usually requires knowledge of MediaWiki to fix.}}
# Content Switching errors:
## [[Template:Artifact sidebar]]: Odd behavior when disabling, then enabling content switches. Hota rows are shown when when should be suppressed.
##* As far as I can currently tell the only way to fix this is to double click every element with the class mw-customtoggle. I can manually (from the console) use javascript to click the header once and then again and it does in fact fix it. But when attempting to click it twice from a script that loops over all the elements in rapid succession it fails. I've tried adding delays but it didn't help. –[[user_talk:imahero|imahero]] 01:14, 22 March 2025 (UTC)
## Sometimes pages load without the content switch appearing. In this case, extra images appear (as if the content switch were both on AND off).
##* I've modified the javascript to allow it to fail if loaded too early. In this case it will wait two seconds and then try again. Hopefully this catches the case where the javascript doesn't seem to load. –[[user_talk:imahero|imahero]] 01:11, 22 March 2025 (UTC)

== File upload/editing ==
# Some of the creature dwelling pics are virtually identical to their upgraded version (e.g. [[Chapel of Stilled Voices]], [[Altar of Thought]]). Can we update these pics to show more of a difference?
# Change all [[Adventure map creature sprites]] shadows to be semi-transparent black
# Change all [[:Category:Artifact pictures (adventure map)]] shadows to be semi-transparent black
#* Standardise adventure map artifacts to 64x32
#* Standardise all artifacts to .png
# Let's rename the Proposals icon/page to something more welcoming. Maybe something like "Help Out!" --[[User:Legate|Legate]] ([[User talk:Legate|talk]])
# The campaign backgrounds are better, but not quite how they show in-game. Compare [[:File:Cback ab ab 8.png]] with [[:File:Cmap ab ab 8.png]]. I think using the slashes for background makes it more clear which is the current level.
#* If you want to get really fancy, you can use the unhiglighted color (not the slash color) to show when the player has a choice for which scenario to play (for example - [[Faerie Dragons]] and [[Rust Dragons]] can be played in either order). This is how it shows in game as well. --[[User:Legate|Legate]] ([[User talk:Legate|talk]]) 18:56, 24 January 2025 (UTC)
#* I'm not remaking them again, at least not for a while. I did the option you selected and I don't really want to do everything all over again for the sake of changing them to slashes right now. Perhaps in the future, but I have other things I need to update; this is fine for now. [[File:Hero Cosmos small.png|link=user:phasma|→ Phasma]] 19:09, 24 January 2025 (UTC)
#* Agreed. Thanks Phasma. --[[User:Legate|Legate]] ([[User talk:Legate|talk]]) 20:13, 24 January 2025 (UTC)
# The factory creatures on [[Adventure map creature sprites]] are missing their shadows.

== New Features (in progress) ==
=== H3CSS Bugs ===
# Are we at the point of making this the default yet?!?!?! (Looks great Phasma!)
#* Wikitables could use a little work (they seem to keep their colors for headers even when not marked important.
#** Could you provide some specific examples for this? –[[user_talk:imahero|imahero]] 18:55, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
#* I think if we set the Header color to white for H3CSS, it would help. See [[Sacrifice]].
#** I know you implemented a darker color filter on the headings in the past, but then removed it. Were there specific places it didn't look good? --[[User:Legate|Legate]] ([[User talk:Legate|talk]]) 14:27, 28 March 2025 (UTC)
#** I set the header color to match the other headers on that page. Is it OK now? –[[user_talk:imahero|imahero]] 18:52, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
# FYI: I noticed [https://darkreader.org darkreader] sometimes makes the appearance better, sometimes worse. So I have to toggle it when checking things. –[[user_talk:imahero|imahero]] 19:26, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
