Skaars

I know that originally there was a page about him but it seemed out of place. Now that we have a terminology section, does it seem appropriate to add him there? He does appear to be asked about semi-frequently and now that the old boards are gone, it could be a good thing to put him on the Wiki. Lemme know what y'all think. Colin 16:21, 21 April 2008 (EDT)

Uploading Images

Simply use the image that's provided by the game designers, going to the "Page Info" on the browser, I'm able to save the "medium" size version of the image and upload it. To use the "thumbnail" version (32x32), I simply use the option in the wiki code to resize to 32px. Highway 17:27, 8 May 2008 (EDT)

How to add items

Single Card(s)

If you're adding items to the a PackRat set, use the {{packrat_item}} template. The items should be in the following form:

{{packrat_card|Item Name|Points|Image|Bonus Draw|Premium|XL|Regular}}

For example (displayed in multiple lines for display purposes, can be a single line):

{{packrat_card
|Fibrous Rope Orb
|250
|[[Image:Packrat-roswells-250-3.gif|32px]]
|
|
|Rio de Janeiro, 25 Credits
|Chicago, 25 Credits}}

This results in:

Fibrous Rope Orb (250)

Rio de Janeiro, 25 Credits

Chicago, 25 Credits

Recipe(s)

If you're are adding an item that is a part of a recipe use the {{packrat_recipe}} template. The items should be in the following form:

{{packrat_recipe|Item Name|Points|Image|How you make it|1|2|3}}

For example (displayed in multiple lines for display purposes, can be a single line):

{{packrat_recipe
|Charon the Dog
|2500
|[[Image:Packrat-roswells-2500-1.gif|32px]]
|Canine Domicile + Cosmo Roswell + Pet Nourishment Dispenser
|[[Image:Packrat-roswells-500-1.gif|32px]]
|[[Image:Packrat-roswells-750-2.gif|32px]]
|[[Image:Packrat-roswells-250-2.gif|32px]]}}

This results in:

Can I advertise for bluwiki?

Create your own wiki!

Click here to check if the subdomain you want is available.

The packrat wiki has been sending bluwiki a lot of traffic, stressing our servers. In many ways this is a godsend - bluwiki is a pretty small site and we're looking to grow. So for that, I am very appreciative to everyone who's worked on packrat.bluwiki.com

However many packrat users just visit the site, then leave. I would love it if I could put this green box on http://packrat.bluwiki.com, so that packrat users are aware that they can create their own wiki.

Let me know what you guys think. --Sam Odio 12:53, 19 April 2008 (EDT)
