Need New Image?
I uploaded an image for the PC version of Dogz (Image:Dogz Main Menu.jpg) but the thing is, the dog shown on there is my German Shepherd called Bengi, and I bought him a Dalmatian fur pattern. I was wandering if I should re-upload the image with one of the available breeds (probably a pug called Rainbow) since people might get confused as you can't get dalmatians in this game! -- Me lon  2  4  7  18:51, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I think it's fine how it is. You explain everything in the page, which is what people need to know. You might want to put in somewhere in the guide how you go about buying different patterns. Do you mean you bought it in the game, or you bought downloadable content for real money? - naj zere 17:59, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I bought it in the game, there is a store where you can buy stuff including fur patterns. You can even make your dog look like a robot! I'll probably re-upload the image anyway because I've redone the page which I saved in my documents. -- Me lon  2  4  7  18:07, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

Different console buttons
How do you get those things where you have a thing in the top right of the page, where you select a platform, and then it changes all the buttons on the page to whatever button you have? I know it involves putting ' – ' around the options or something. I remember I saw it in a few guides but I can't remember which they were. -- Me lon  2  4  7  17:40, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
 * You do it by adding PlayStation 2, Wii to the top of a page (Under the Header Nav). Whenever you come to a place where you need to add a button, you would add X to the page. That would mean that in the list, if you selected the PlayStation it would display X and if you were on the Wii, it would display 1. One example of this is here. f you need this explaining further then feel free to ask.-- The preceding signed comment was added by Rocky (talk • contribs). 17:49, 26 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I redid the controls page for Petz: Dogz 2 and Catz 2, but there was something I just realised and that is that different buttons do interact. What I mean is, on the PS2 interact is the same button as barking or screeching, whereas on the Wii interact is the same button as the Whiskers Radar and Sniffing. Is there a way of making the sentences change for different platforms? -- Me lon  2  4  7  18:05, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, anything you put in the control template will change, it doesn't have to be just buttons. - naj zere 18:06, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

registered users
I just thought of something- when you put a register template on an anon's talk page, is there a way of knowing they haven't already registered? I remember once I created a redirect page when it wouldn't let me sign in, but when I went to the contributions page for what the anon of me had done it just said that one thing, not showing that I was a registered user anyway. I was just wandering, considering there's always lots of new uswers on this site, and I don't know how to tell if they've done stuff as anons or not, so there might be an anon who's registered and then they recieve a register template and get really confused. -- Me lon  2  4  7  11:02, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Only bureaucrats have the ability to connect user names to IP addresses, however they use this ability rarely, as it would be a breach of privacy on their part. When you post the template, your signature will remind them when the message was posted, so all they have to do is remember when they registered (or check the logs). It's not an issue. I have done a lot of work anonymously simply because I don't want to log in from a public location. It's better to ignore anonymous edits than worry about connecting them to their registered user name. -- 20:28, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Thank Yous?
So, let me gt this straight, only admins can give thank yous to other users? I was thinking that there was a certain user (not saying who) who I want to give a thank you for something but I don't know if it's the most important thing ever. It's just been bugging me for a while. -- Me lon  2  4  7  18:12, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
 * You can thank anyone you want. It doesn't have to be an admin at all.-- Duke  Ruckley Talk 18:20, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Who gave you that impression? -- 07:35, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Procyon once told me that thank yous were best left to sysops, so I just imagined that meant that they were the only ones who could do them. -- Me lon  2  4  7  09:23, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

Contrib Numbers
Is there a template or something that automatically generayes the number of contributions? It's just I have that number of edits thing on my user page and I was wondering if there was an easier way that just changing it all the time. -- Me lon  2  4  7  18:12, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
 * No, there isn't. Also, ask stuff in the staff lounge or forums instead of on your talk page. -- 18:41, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, OK. It's just easier asking stuff on your talk page because then you know if you've had a response the moment you go to strategywiki. But then I guess it isn't easier for you lot to answer the questions! -- Me lon  2  4  7  09:36, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Dogz enemy template
Dogz enemy - naj zere 18:13, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you! Brilliant explanation you came up with! : ). Oh, and thanks for the sig suggestions you gave me in my sandbox! I'll probably use one of them in, like, special things. Like important conversations and stuff like that. Thanks again! -- Me lon  2  4  7  09:23, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Is there a way of making the table of contents skip to the template, raher than having the heading saying 'green snake' and then just under it the title saying 'green snake'. Just if I took the heading out then there wouldn't be a way of getting right to that enemy. -- Me lon  2  4  7  09:45, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, you can link to the template, like this. The problem is that the ToC won't automatically generate if you don't put any headings in. I guess it depends on how many enemies are going to be on the page. If it's like Dog Island, you're probably better off just using the regular headings and then formatting the rest of the content to look like whichever of those mockups you like. - naj zere 16:14, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
