Glad to see you're able to edit now. I wanted to make you aware that you added [[:File:Humansprev.png]] to the [[v0.34:Human]] page, which is from an older DF version. You'll usually want to make sure to edit the newest one (currently "DF2014"), but feel free to edit older ones too, of course. | Glad to see you're able to edit now.

If you want to use images that are on [https://commons.wikimedia.org/ WikiMedia Commons], then you actually don't have to upload them to this wiki to use them (in fact, please don't, because there's no point in us rehosting them). I'm not seeing your recent images on there, though, so that's more of a note for future reference. | If you want to use images that are on [https://commons.wikimedia.org/ WikiMedia Commons], then you actually don't have to upload them to this wiki to use them (in fact, please don't, because there's no point in us rehosting them).

::Which tables are you thinking of? IMO consistency is good, but some are likely using an older style. As for changing the default look of the wiki, I haven't put much thought into that. The upcoming upgrade does look ''slightly'' different, and you can see an example [https://www.catsplode.com/index.php/DF2014:Cat here], but that's mostly just some font changes in the newer Mediawiki version. If you know CSS, you can test out your own changes at [[Special:Mypage/common.css]] if you like. —[[User:Lethosor|<span style="color:#074">Lethosor</span>]] ([[User talk:Lethosor|<span style="color:#092">talk</span>]]) 01:45, 6 June 2019 (UTC) | ::Which tables are you thinking of?

Regarding the check marks you added to some pages like [[DF2014:Wetland]] - those are cool, but that's really something that should use a template, so I've moved it over to {{tl|check}}. Templates are preferable for consistency and maintainability - if we ever have to change the color or the symbol for some reason, making sure the change gets made in thousands of places is way more effort than changing it in one place. It is possible to get carried away with templates (Wikipedia's [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Tick tick template] has at least 10 alternatives - let's stick with one here), but for something like this, please don't hesitate to make a template. —[[User:Lethosor|<span style="color:#074">Lethosor</span>]] ([[User talk:Lethosor|<span style="color:#092">talk</span>]]) 00:10, 17 July 2019 (UTC) | Regarding the check marks you added to some pages like [[DF2014:Wetland]] - those are cool, but that's really something that should use a template, so I've moved it over to {{tl|check}}.
