I suppose it's fine to add them too, if there's not dozens of them, that is.

I guess I could start by uploading only the box art that contains Rayman related images (which are the most important), and then I could upload the other stuff if needed.

I guess that's a good start for now, yeah!

I was looking through some merchandise for some reason. I came across some Ubisoft Rayman E3 promotional clip on earring on Mercari. It was apparently given to seller for one of Ubisoft's live shows during E3 1998. I was wondering if it would be good to add this to the wiki?

Here's the link to the page if you're wondering: https://www.mercari.com/us/item/m469299 ... ch_results

Great find! I guess this could be placed after the Rayman Advance super jumpy ball.

I just added it. I'm always amazed that there's still new Rayman merch to discover to this very day. It's nice to keep an eye out for this stuff. It would have went under the radar otherwise.

Thanks for adding it! And yeah, it is surprising to see that there is still rare Rayman merch out there that has not been documented in the wiki.

Nice addition, thanks! Honestly, I'm pretty sure there's so much obscure merch out there that we'll never really stop finding new stuff.

I wonder if it would be a good idea to have a category for images that are gifs/animations.

Ideally, we'd let the software handle that, but I'm not aware of such an automatic category.

Maybe for the time being we could start to manually add a category for this type of images (don't know what the exact name should be). This could help to keep track of the gifs/animated pngs in the wiki and avoid duplicates.

Hey!
I updated the wiki with more info about the mobile game Hungry Dragon including the newly announced Sea Dragon from Rayman Legends being a new playable character.
As it happened with the medieval dragon Grunderbite, also the Sea Dragon has a new name.
I wonder how could I change the name of the page?

I think Hunch and boombo are the only ones that can do that.

I renamed the page a few days ago. Now I guess the mechanical dragon is next? :mrgreen:

Btw, what format should be used to reference reddit posts in wiki articles?

Re: Wiki help

I suggest something along the lines of:

Code: Select all

<ref>Reddit, ''Rayman ReDesigner: Instrument Heaven'', https://www.reddit.com/r/Rayman/comments/12jjcuv/rayman_redesigner_instrument_heaven/</ref>
It might also be worth quoting the relevant part of the post inside the reference, like we do with social media posts as they're likely to disappear:

I see, thanks! I often try to save them in the Wayback Machine, but sometimes they don't get archived properly.

Indeed, using archived links is even better when it works!
