Talk:Final Fantasy VIII/Monster Cards

Subpage
I think we need a new way to organize this page. I intend on compiling more ways to obtain the cards and the way it's set up now will make the table very large. Perhaps we can do a table showing the monster and the name and a link to a separate page of all the areas it can be obtained?
 * I've made some changes to the page and split the first row into two columns. What do you think? -- Prod (Talk) 09:45, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
 * The lists are largely the same for every card, especially in the same levels, so you may able to note them all once, then just put any differences or additions for individual cards. Also, they should be broken out of tables completely, as the rows are only being used to denote a new card without even the benefit of being able to link to it. — najzere T 16:03, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

Prod, that still won't work if I continue to input the data as I've already done so. The size of the data is just too big. Najzere, yes, the lists are generally the same. If a player plays one card from a certain level then he or she will play all cards from that level (with the exception of rare cards). I agree they should not be in the table. Like I said above, put the card and name of the monster in a gallery. Then link to a new page with a list of people that play [insert level of card here]. Would that work?

 * [EDIT] Ah, I see what you're saying. That would be doable, although it would require splitting up the information between pages, and you'd still have lots of duplication (the lists of card for each player would largely be the same). I've made a test change to the Level 1 cards, splitting the list of acquisitions out to a single reference in the beginning, then listing the cards in a gallery beneath. If you had more information for the cards, you could use sections (==Card name==) instead of the gallery. — najzere T 19:03, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
