Image categorisation
When uploading images, please make sure to categorise them using the correct image categories and the guide-specific category, i.e.  Category:Game Name images. Please see our image policy for more details. Thanks for helping to keep our images neat! —  Pro cyon  23:50, 14 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I know it's going to be a lot of work, but could you please go back and add   to all of the files that you've uploaded?  And please be sure to add the correct game image category for any future images that you upload.  Thanks very much.   Pro  cyon  23:50, 14 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Oh, sorry about that, completely slipped my mind. I'll go and add those in now. Hathomirr (talk) 23:56, 14 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Thanks very much, we really appreciate it, and all the hard work you're doing. Just one more thing...:

Pre-load buttons
In order to keep pages on the wiki neat and uniform, we employ certain formatting and templates to help us accomplish this. When creating a new page, please use one of the pre-load buttons located above the edit text box (e.g. click on "Guide page" to add Header Nav to the top and Footer Nav to the bottom), which will insert the needed templates and formatting for you. These templates are very handy because they include the templates that are required for each page type. If you are unsure about how to use them, or what pages to use them on, please let me know. Thanks for keeping the wiki organized! —  Pro cyon  00:04, 15 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Sweet, thanks for the information. I do have one question unrelated to this - is there a alignment markup that I could use to center the images and text vertically inside the tables? - Hathomirr (talk) 00:34, 15 October 2017 (UTC)
 * The best you can do is to set a style on the entire row, but that will center all of the text (or images) in the entire row. Not entirely sure if that's the effect that you're looking for, but take a look at the source for the table below to get an idea.  The style is set immediately after the "|-", indicating that it's applied to the entire row.  Centering text in the entire row isn't necessarily desirable unless you have a good reason for it.

 * Oh, I've got the horizontal alignment down already, I was referring to vertical alignment. For an example, on the items page I'm editing, I'd like for the copper cauldron sprite to be directly in the center of the cell its in. - Hathomirr (talk) 01:02, 15 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Ah, sorry, I misunderstood. Instead of text-align, try vertical-align: |- style="vertical-align:middle;"  Pro  cyon  01:19, 15 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Just a heads up: You don't have to add 'align="center"' after a "!" in a table. All "!" cells are automatically centered.   Pro  cyon  02:00, 16 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the information. Also, the vertical alignment didn't work. I was looking around and now I'm not even sure if it's supported on here. :/ - Hathomirr (talk) 02:18, 16 October 2017 (UTC)

Image sizes
Hello, I noticed that you started to upload reduced sized images from the GBC Harry Potter game. I think it would be easier for most readers if you left the double-sized images alone, as they are easier to see. I'm not sure how you're saving these png files, but somehow your reduced size images are using more disk space than the originals. If you can restore the original images, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.  Pro cyon  17:56, 27 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Hey again, sorry about that. I was trying to have the sprites at their original resolution, but I see your point (I believe I was exporting the files differently than before also, in regards to the file size). I'll start reverting them now.

Disambig
Since the first game often has the same name as the category, it's unclear if the user was looking for the game or the series, so the series disambig helps get to their destination faster. Users are unlikely to end up on the second game of a series when searching for the series page, so they have 2 or three links available to continue their navigation. -- Prod (talk) 17:21, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Alright, I was confused about the usage and thought it was referring to the games in relation to the books/movies (year 1, year 2, ect). Thanks for clearing that up, and apologies for the hassle this past week. - Hathomirr (talk) 17:33, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
 * No hassle at all, thanks for looking into cleaning this up. Seems they wanted to make a lot of money on this franchise! -- Prod (talk) 17:36, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Yyyep, sounds about right for EA, heh. But yeah, I was seeing a lot of conflicting information for some guides and code pages when working on the GBC version. Hopefully down the road this site can clear up the confusion once and for all. - Hathomirr (talk) 17:49, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
