I just checked the bosses out, and I see what you mean. Boss bird is the only one with an appearance section and none of the Legends bosses have pictures. If we don't already have pictures already hidden on the raywiki I'll upload some and edit them in since I don't have school tomorrow :)

Okedoke, in the meantime, I've been sorting out a few other image riddled pages into having galleries. While it may not be as comprehensive a solution, I think it beats having a hodge-podge of a mess.

The Daily Bubble should mention about the Xbox One and PS4 ports of Rayman Legends.

Thank you guys for your suggestions. I'm going to look into a way to implement collapsible boxes. I've also refreshed the rest of the home page, should look a bit more up to date now. Some help with the Legends bosses would definitely be welcome too!

The news template is protected, I think only you or Stace can update it.

does the raywiki only take .png files for character pictures?
EDIT:No it takes .jpeg as well. I'm having trouble putting my picture in the Giant Luchador page, could somebody explain what i'm doing wrong?
EDITING THE EDIT: nevermind somebody had capitalized the "image=" part resulting in no pictures getting through. glad I managed to figure it out! :D

Great, I see you fixed it! Be sure to add the templates and categories when uploading a file too. ;) (And you were right to use JPEG, we tend to only use PNG for sprite-based games.)

You can check this diff page for an example of what was added. There's two templates, and the category at the end. ;)

Phew, been modifying quite a few Wiki pages, can't say I'm wholly happy with them yet, but at least they're not drabbled over with images up and down and all around.
The Daily Bubble is still in need of updating, and only the Wiki sysops are capable of doing that, seeing as it's protected.

It might be good to protect the other ones too. In any case, please suggest any additions to the news section in this topic or in the template discussion page. ;) Great job on the images by the way.

I've opened up a section for news item suggestions, I've also added some suggestions of my own.

My bad if I wasn't clear, please write the news items you want to see on the news template and we'll copy-paste them there.

As for collapsible elements, it's an easy change but it looks weird on templates with several headers such as the one for Rayman Legends characters, friends and bosses, as only the first one is displayed in collapsed position. Maybe adding a main header would solve the problem? Could a logo do?

I think having a main heading such as "Legend's Characters," and having the other headings as subheadings could work.
As for the news items, I've submitted them now.

Also, while it's still in my head, shouldn't we have an article for the RaySaves website? Seeing as it is an official affiliate now as well.

What do you guys think of this?

I've also updated the Origins characters template for all to see what it would be like on articles (since most characters use both templates). All comments welcome!

Roger that. I will consider that in future.

I am at school at the moment, so I will check the Raywiki article when I can.
