New Skin
For god's sake please don't use this new wiki's "one-narrow-column" layout, it will ruin layout of all pages that have large images and screenshots.
-If it ain't broken, don't fix it.
(using Template:Message) Pages shouldn't be embedding pictures larger than 854px wide, except as backgrounds. If you see any such examples, add {{! Raccoon (talk) 19:09, 26 Apr 2023854px}} (or a lower size) to their embed tag (ex: [[File:Imagename.png|854px]]). --SirYodaJedi (talk) 0:28, 6 Jun 2023 (UTC)
