Thanks for doing all the summons portraits
One of those things I've been meaning to do for ages, and probably wouldn't get done if you didn't do it. <3 --Kroocsiogsi 02:54, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

API broke
- Wot u talking about? Throw some details and let's try fix it for next time. :) - RJ 01:51, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
 * See the line above ›:c. They should be working fine now, just will show a bit of console spam about invalid json cause curse auth redirects to main page instead of returning a json response to logging in over api. Is that wot u talking about? 31.112.103.66 03:27, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

Hero animations
You said there's a better way and disabled them? Because the internet media is pretty limited. There's only gif, flash and HTML5 available for animations... so - suggestions? --Phoenixfire2001 (talk) 16:38, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I was referring to the way it's displayed. Just displaying a gif animation right under the portrait is sloppy, and could be handled better. Not sure what happened to that 3D project, which is a port-over from the TF2 Wiki. Vi3trice (talk) 16:51, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Well, we should do SOMETHING at least, even Dota 1 "wiki" has 3D hero models e.g. http://www.playdota.com/heroes/butcher --Phoenixfire2001 (talk) 17:09, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
 * We need to figure out the goals of these little animations before deciding on the best medium to display them - what information do they intend to convey, and is this information strictly necessary for the Wiki, or is this just eye-candy?
 * There's also an overhead consideration. If we start adding these to the Wiki then we need to commit to adding them for every new hero, and updating them every time a texture, model, or the (idle?) animation for heroes change.  If for some reason you, Phoenixfire2001, decide to leave the Wiki - there will be nobody equipped or perhaps willing to take over this work.
 * My personal opinion is that these images are not necessary, they are simply eye-candy, and the overhead necessary in maintaining them essentially makes them not worth having on the Wiki. I welcome you to convince me otherwise though - my opinion certainly isn't a final "yes/no" decision by any means. - RJ  17:44, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I feel that the gifs would be a kinda nice start, but ultimately I like rotateable models à la http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Soldier a LOT better. Unfortunately I don't know jack shit about how one would implement such a thing. The effort in keeping them updated, however, should be minimal, since model changes don't happen that often and we only have 5 more heroes to go for now. --Phoenixfire2001 (talk) 17:51, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
