Separately, the Telltale game was moved from "Game of Thrones - A Telltale Games Series" to "Game of Thrones (2014 video game)". Its official website and Facebook page use the full title, so shouldn't we also be using that instead of shortening the title and then disambiguating with "(2014 video game)"? If that's the name the official website uses, and if that's the name under which the game is sold, then that's the name we should use on the wiki. But, if the page is moved again, the interlinks should be adjusted accordingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhaenys_Targaryen Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 When permission is given to upload and display an image on the wiki, are we then also allowed to crop it? (as long as the original file remains on the wiki as well). Or do we need to ask separate permission for this as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not aware of George giving this a proper name yet. How about "combat at the tower of joy", since lower case is used for the tower in AGOT? Any objections to this?

Ran might need to clarify for the purposes of AWOIAF, but Wikipedia seems to allow that. Does it depend on which license tag applies? Since registration is currently closed for technical purposes, should this be temporarily removed from the main page?

Widowmaker94 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Combat at the Tower of Joy is not a good name. If we're all admitting there is no official name.. We might as well call it the Melee at the Tower of Joy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Combat" is at least canonically used in reference to Arthur and Ned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lychnidos Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 There is nothing wrong with calling it "Combat at the Tower of Joy", the format is actually used in historiography. See Combat of the Thirty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as the original is linked to I don't see the harm in cropping images if it's done honestly. For example, cropping out copyright information would not be acceptable.

RumHam Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 (edited) I've found another questionable alias. Jaime's list includes "Cripple." Which again like a few of the others I've objected to in the past is an insult, not an alias. The two aren't necessarily mutually exclusive, but I don't think anyone would argue that if a character said "cripple" everyone would know he meant Jaime. "The Dwarf" works for Tyrion, as he's commonly called that and is essentially the dwarf as far as noble families go. But "Cripple" shouldn't qualify as a Jaime alias in my opinion any more than it should be Willas Tyrell's. Edit: or Bran's! so weird that I thought of Willas before Bran.

Navboxes can be made visible on mobile by changing the code on MediaWiki:common.css. This is something we could ask Ran, and is perhaps a good opportunity to check whether the navbox styling used on the wiki is up to date with that on Wikimedia projects.

This is something we could ask Ran, and is perhaps a good opportunity to check whether the navbox styling used on the wiki is up to date with that on Wikimedia projects. That's interesting! Would it also be possible to have collapsible family trees on mobile view, like we do on desktop view? The family trees currently set to be collapsed on desktop view show up expanded on mobile. Edit (25-7-2016): You seem to know a bit more about this stuff than me, I figured I just post some links here that I found (I'm trying to learn more about wiki-coding and such ). So, for example, to make tables collapsible on mobile view too (they can already be set to be automatically collapsed on desktop view), should the code found here be inserted on this page on the wiki?
