Sprite Stitch Board!

Just to be clear- On the list of patterns to be imported, is the name/URL you have what you use to import? Example: You have Bad Superman as the name from old wiki. That should be the name on the new one?

Yes; to your discretion. I copied the old names over onto this list, so if you have a more appropriate name feel free to use it.

If you'd rather start over or take a different approach, don't feel obligated to use this page. Just wanted to share it since I found it.

No that's a good starting point. I have Google sheets downloaded on my phone, so I could see the walk to Mordor sheet, I think I can make a Google doc using that? I'll have a play around later.

Course lappy will be better to do this then my phone, but not often I get on my lappy anymore.
I think i know how to copy and paste on my phone now, which would be good in listing the page links for each pattern :p

A spoonful of patience, a sprinkling of luck and a Fiddle should see me through. (with a jug of madness too)

DUDE! I added a page to the wikia.....got so frustrated I almost flipped out. But don't worry, I figured it out and everything's cool again. *whew* Now that I know how to do it, I can definitely do more. It's just the first one gave my brain a problem. 1 down, many more to go.

Haha, sorry for the frustration! Luckily, once you get the pattern, it's just the same thing over and over. It is also easier to copy/paste the code into the source editor than to use the visual editor, for me personally.

One thing to note, the "Stitch count" field isn't referring to 14/16/18 count, but rather the total number of stitches in the pattern, so like 4,620. I think this field was on the old wiki as well, but almost entirely used incorrectly (since anything can be stitched on any count); makes more sense to give the total number of stitches so you have an idea of the complexity of the project. I probably should rename that field from "stitch count" to "Total number of stitches", but i'd have to update all the existing pages to match. Probably still worth it.

Hey Everyone!

Just wanted to thank everyone for the work that has been put into this new site. It is super easy to navigate and i really love that each pattern is attached to its respective article.....makes it fun to see where it came from.

if there is anything i can do to help you all with this major project let me know. i am not very internet savvy so doing the url/link things is too much for me but i can do other stuff lol

thanks again!!

Yes, stitch count is stitch count and not total stitches, so I think to change it to Total Stitches would be better.

And to get the total stitches, you just multiply the height and width right? Because the number I got was astronomical and it made me doubt myself.

Because when you see 47,880, it seems like an astronomical number I guess.

Yeah, that's right - number of stitches wide x number of stitches high = total stitches. It adds up fast!
