Hi! BS01 has a policy against uploading personal images to the site. Instead, please upload your images at an image host like Brickshelf or Imgur. Once you reupload Icon2.jpg somewhere else (or once a couple days have passed by, whichever comes first), I'll delete the file. Thanks! -- Morris the Mata Nui Cow (talk) 23:05, 10 August 2017 (CET)

Done! You can delete it. Thanks for the information. EdzardDwarf (talk) 00:35, 10 August 2017 (CET)
No problem, thanks for reuploading the image! More info for future reference:
When embedding an external image, the URL has to be a link to the image itself, rather than a page containing the image (for example the URL https://i.imgur.com/5HGYY4u doesn't work because it's a link to a gallery, not an image). You can tell if a URL is a direct link to an image because it ends with the image's file format, like .jpg.
Meanwhile, to make an external link, put the URL in brackets: [https://www.google.com]. If you want the link to have custom text, put a space after the URL and type your custom text. For example, [https://www.google.com custom text] makes this link: custom text

Infobox

Try this out for your infobox: 

{{Protector
|name=EdzardDwarf
|bg_color=#0087BD
|image=https://i.imgur.com/5HGYY4u.jpg
|type=[[Protectors|Protector]] of {{G|2|Water}}
|element={{G|2|Water}}
|mask=[[Masks of Water#Versions|Protector Mask of Water]]
|tools=[[Turbines]]<br>[[Elemental Blaster|Elemental Torpedo Blaster]]
|status=Alive
|location=[[City of the Mask Makers]]
|setnumber=[[Set:70780|70780]]
}}

Usually images in infoboxes are no more than 250px wide. That's a convention, not a rule, but I'd recommend a 250px-wide image just because it looks good. For on-site images, you can set image width like this: [[File:Imagename.jpg|250px]]. Unfortunately there isn't a way to set the width of external images though, so I'd recommend uploading a 250px-wide copy on Imgur.

Also, you can see a preview of your edits before you save by using the "show preview" button next to "save changes." That way you can preview your edits, make corrections, and save once you're satisfied. -- Morris the Mata Nui Cow (talk) 17:21, 11 August 2017 (CET)

I think you should use the fan template. like this: {{fan|04}}. instead of the mass edits what you've done, please ask someone :) (because of the "Edit cooldown") — Surel—Nuva (Talk) 23:10, 11 August 2017 (CET)
Yep, generally best to embed templates rather than copy/paste their entire code. (For more info you can check out mediawiki.org, or feel free to ask.) Surel's right that it's best not to make a ton of edits back-to-back (if nothing else it makes things easier for the staff), but as long as you use the show preview button to proofread your edits before saving (which it looks like you're doing, thanks!), you should be fine. And as the "edit cooldown" says, if you make 5 edits in quick succession, please wait a minute before making any more. That said you should absolutely feel free to edit your userpage. -- Morris the Mata Nui Cow (talk) 23:50, 11 August 2017 (CET)
