Hey! What does "class=sprite" change on an image exactly, and when should it be used? I noticed you edited it in on a bunch of images I've added. --[[File:Carrot signature.png|75px|link=User:Carrot-master]] 06:40, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

:Hey, it's a CSS class that allows screenshots from sprite-based games to remain neat on higher dppx devices (devices using several physical pixels per virtual pixel e.g. most modern smartphones or Retina MacBooks). Without the class, a smooth resizing algorithm is used, which makes those pictures look blurry. Thanks for reminding me that I need to add an entry about it in our image guidelines, will do ASAP! —[[File:RRRGBAIcon8.png|class=sprite|link=User:Hunchman801]][[File:RRRGBAIcon0.gif|class=sprite|link=User:Hunchman801]][[File:RRRGBAIcon1.png|class=sprite|link=User:Hunchman801]] 21:44, 14 February 2017 (UTC)

== Link clarification ==

Hey, and sorry for asking about link again, but I'm still slightly confused on when to use them and not. In the [https://raymanpc.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=73&t=25231#p1202780 forums] you said that you should link the words with articles on the wiki '''every time''' they showed up. However, in the manual of style there's an example which shows a paragraph of text where the reoccurring words (like Ly and Betilla) are only linked in the first instance.

Also, should headings be linked or not? Pretty much every article seems to do this differently. The manual of style states that links should be used "unless it is in a section title." I assume that means it should not be used in heading then, and the cases where that is done are incorrect? --[[File:Carrot signature.png|75px|link=User:Carrot-master]] 07:15, 8 June 2017 (UTC)
