How about this one, then, always assuming that Minna doesn't get the impression we're stepping on her toes with that ... ?

That looks good to me.

Oooh, I like it!

I have a hunch that you'll like it a lot less as soon as you try to drop that largely purple, heavily white-noise-modulated image into a light orange part of the strictly-paletted wiki ...

I did have an idea but I'm not sure how it will go over with the rest of the wiki project folks/Minna herself... Someone made a link to thispage from ARtD where Minna made a lovely banner announcing the name for SSSS... I wonder if we could use it somehow? Maybe not as the wordmark as it's far too large but surely somewhere on the front page?

Scale it to 1/3 and it's 224x44 ... then threaten copyright holder to refer to the comic as "LPLHRTTG" if she doesn't play along ...

[JoB]

Well, that's promising ... not.

So I noticed that we still have a page specifically describing the Dalahasten giant and pretty much narrating the fight against it in the comic. Do we want to keep this? Most of the info is duplicated on the Giants page

Not to mention giving some rather dubitable information (the train cats hissing? And Agneta not smelling the coffee before they do?).

I'd be in favor of removing the page, together with its "Giants" category. (And while you're swinging the admin hammer, could you please annihilate the redirections "Template:ARTDPage" and "Template:ARTDPage/doc"? I realized too late that a template to link to aRTD comic pages alone wouldn't see enough use to be worth it.)

We might want to clean up a bit among the high-level categories, too. The hierarchy looks a bit counterintuitive (see attachment) ...

(P.S.: Ix-nay on the chment-attay. SMF says "The upload folder is full. Please try a smaller file and/or contact an administrator." ... ?)

Deleted the two template redirects! Also deleting the "Giants" category but I'll hold off on removing the page for now, in case Nimphy wants to keep it.

You could always upload the attachments on something like imgur or tinypic? But yeah, maybe contact Eich and see what the problem is.

Since we're required to detach ourselves from attachments ...

So, may I upload that wordmark? Is it fine for everyone?

I tried again, but I really don't have (or know) the proper tools to tweak the image to the current colors of the wiki style (which, BTW, are #f14800 for the deep orange and #6f017b for the sidebar purple) ...

You kow, I could just change the wiki's style to match the wordmark... How do you think I should make it?

PS: I'd be in favour of keeping the Dalahasten giant, but maybe as a mention in the Giants page, instead of having its own, hmm?

If you mean "where are the levers", I'm afraid that I have no idea.

In order to make the wiki match that image, you'ld have to adapt not only the colors, but also make "the backgrounds" (to be defined) as grainy as that image's background is. Which would then clash with the monochromatic background of the text areas and the gradients in the top and bottom bar ...

... and if I were to trace the font and the diamonds and put everything back together, the resulting image would be any color we want, but not have that "old and worn" look anymore ...

The "Giants" page does have a mention of the Dalahästen incident - three lines vs. three screenfuls of text. But we do want to avoid straight renarrations of the comic, right ... ?

Oh my gosh, THAT'S how you use that? I've always wondered! I'll try to clean those up today... In my view, I assumed "Comic" was sort of like our "meta" category, it's thing about the webcomic SSSS as it exists on the internet; The "World" category is a little strange, because, like - how I had originally envisioned it, it would be something to describe things that aren't characters or locations or any other category. Mostly terminology-related things like The Rash and Skalds and Cleansers. I'm not entire sure how it became the top-level category though.

But we do want to avoid straight renarrations of the comic, right ... ?

If possible, yes.
