P.S: If you want to top off the controls page, you should use the control templates. Take a look at Twilight Princess' Controls and nab the code there to make it look better. --Arrow Windwhistler (talk) 23:40, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Images
Hey, thanks for uploading that image and putting an image category on it! I've also added Category:The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks images to it so all Spirit Tracks images are grouped together. Thanks for contributing! :) — najzere T 21:25, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi, Image:LoZ-ST Forest Sanctuary.jpg is too low quality for the wiki. Is there any way you can make this map in a graphics program or find a cleaner screenshot? — najzere T 21:49, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Control selector
Hi, I put the control selector and control usages back into The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time/Ocarina Songs. Please don't remove the control selector functionality from pages; it provides an easy way for users to switch to the controls they use for their platform. If it's not working for you, enable JavaScript in your browser or allow the site if it's currently blocked. Thanks, — najzere T 20:06, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

Collaboration of the Month
Hi, Spirit Tracks is currently on the nomination list for Collaboration of the Month. Just wanted to alert you, in case you didn't know about the page. If it's selected, you may get some additional help with the great job you're doing on the guide. Cheers, :) — najzere T 22:30, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks!
A little thank you… For working on Spirit Tracks and joining the cleanup crew. , najzere T 17:34, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

Spirit Tracks maps
Hey, just wanted to let you know that I have everything from the images saved on different layers, so if you wanted to switch anything out, such as different icons or background or something, it would be doable. Also, we could make image maps out of them so clicking an icon on the map would take a reader to the appropriate section. Just some thoughts. Let me know if you want to change anything! :) — najzere T 20:24, 9 February 2010 (UTC)


 * That's (image maps) a very good idea. Especially with the Spirit Tracks guide, where some place names can be very different, just clicking on the area where you want to find information for can be much easier than looking for a place name and possibly getting thrown off by another region's names. They're used on sites like Zelda Wiki, and it's much clearer than searching for a place name (that, for me, isn't there because they use only American names). It can't do any damage to try it, at least, and I think it could work well. --Moydow 09:00, 10 February 2010 (UTC)


 * ps. Perhaps, if we're going to use a map for the Force Gems page, would it be possible to point out both where to find them and what tracks they reveal, or would that clutter the map? --Moydow 11:51, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
 * That's how I was planning on doing it anyway, so I think it would be okay. Are the positions of the force gem locations on this map accurate? Also, should the force gem icon be yellow, green, or does it depend on the specific gem? — najzere T 16:37, 10 February 2010 (UTC)


 * What you have there shows the locations of which section of tracks each force gem (yellow triangles) reveals. They are all correct. All Force Gems are usually shown with yellow triangles, as with their in-game appearance, and Warp Gates are green triangles on this map, but are generally shown with paired symbols (# at the centre of the Forest Land links to # in the south of the Snow Land, for example). --Moydow 17:00, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

My mistake
I didn't mean to cause trouble. I'm a bit of a perfectionist; it's the little mistakes that get to me. If I see one, I'll pretend it's not there until I can make a bigger edit. --|Superpowered  Mario  20:17, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

Talk page messages
Hi, you should peruse Category:Message templates when you get a chance, as a lot of the things we find ourselves saying over and over have been templated to make it easier on you. Thanks for helping keep new users informed! — najzere T

MultipleUpload
It's an extension we used to have, but the recent versions have been buggy. I'll suggest to either comment it out, or just leave it for now. Hopefully we can re-enable it during the next patch. -- Prod (Talk) 03:34, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

VF Remix
There are some differences in the moves and the character portraits are different. I was thinking of morphing Virtua Fighter PC with Remix though, and make a different moves page for both Remix and PC. --E-123Wario54 23:49, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

"Seen 364, Caught 279"
In your About Me, in the "Records and other stuff" section, you list your Pokédex record to be Seen 364, Caught 279. What version did you accomplish this in? :D -- Imjon 13:01, 18 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Pokémon Diamond. I've also got Ruby, Platinum and HeartGold, so that record is really the combined result of all four versions. It would be virtually impossible for me to catch all 493, with the lack of Events in this country :( so my goal is to just try and complete the Sinnoh Pokédex (150/113 and counting). :)

Category Adding
I really don't understand the category system. Is there any guide adding to or creating categories because if there is I haven't found any as of yet. By the way thanks for adding the images I imported into the categories. User:Zienth

Mega Man Battle Network 6
Thanks for fixing the sprite categories. I appreciate it. :) Teddy(talk) 21:26, 30 May 2010 (UTC)


 * No problem. All in a day's work. Moy  dow  T · C · Boxes 21:33, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Luigi's Mansion maps
Got the first floor one done, see here. I'm hoping to get the other floors done soon-ish. -- 06:30, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
 * K, see here for floor 1, floor 2, floor 3, roof, and basement. All information on the maps should be accurate, including relative location of blue ghosts (aka speedy spirits) and cheeses in regards to the room. Speedy Spirits that must be caught during blackout are marked as such. Let me know if you notice anything that's off. -- 03:31, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Floor 2's been updated, sorry for the delay. -- 20:50, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

Nomination for sysop
Hi Moydow. I'd like to nominate you for sysop status. Do you accept?  Pro cyon  15:09, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Really? Of course, go ahead! Thank you! :D 15:20, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, I completely botched setting up your request, but I think I got it right now... Have at it, and thanks for your hard work. Requests for permissions/Moydow  Pro cyon  18:21, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
 * All answered! :) 19:24, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Congrats :) -- Prod (Talk) 06:26, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks guys! :D 07:15, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
 * High five! -- 17:55, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah! :) 18:11, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I love how, within hours of being promoted, you've knocked out this list of things you noticed and wanted to take care of for who knows how long :D  Pro  cyon  18:39, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

I'm a bit late, but congrats anyway! -- 19:49, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Editing Charts
MapleStory/Patches I really don't understand how to edit the charts on these pages. All they lead to is links when ever I go into edit mode. Can you teach me how?--Zienth 22:13, 28 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Ah. I understand it now. Another question, there was a major update in the Korean MS Test Server and I want to be able to display those changes without disrupting the current show of skills.My idea is to use the Template for MapleStory/Skill desc being to separate the the current skills tables from the new ones. What do you think should be done? --Zienth 22:49, 28 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Alright. Thanks for you help anyways.--Zienth 23:27, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

Zelda Redirects
I don't think the 2010 one is much of a problem. Even though it's not perfectly accurate, it's not ambiguous. For the Wii one, perhaps redirect it to the category instead. -- Prod (Talk) 19:04, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks!
Hello and thanks for improving my article! — Sheriff James B. McDonald bad guys  21:19, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

Crash Course
I started editing here, to fulfill the partnership aspect between WiKirby and Strategy Wiki. Viewing the two pages I worked on, I see a link "Walkthrough" Could you explain what the differences between the area articles and the walkthrough are meant to be? I'm going to work on the subgame articles next. Well off the top of my head while my DS recharges...But I would appreciate any guidance until I get it down pat. Also thanks again for your work on WiKirby. Axiomist 23:50, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

Mario Tennis.
Thanks. Have you checked the Wii category yet? I can easily find through search, or the N64 category or a link from Mario Power Tennis, or if there's a section called "Wii Virtual Console" which should be on the Wii category above the games list? I suppose from now on that Mario Tennis doesn't exist on "Wii" but in "Wii Virtual Console". I don't mind if you're busy but you might want to double check to be sure that Mario Tennis does exist in N64 and "Wii Virtual Console". I can't express my feelings but I shouldn't be upset about this. You might not understand but I don't want to go to great lengths to find Mario Tennis. Johnnyauau2000 07:04, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

Blocking for inappropriate user name
Make sure to uncheck "Prevent account creation" and "Automatically block the last IP address..." when you block for inappropriate user name, so the editor still has the ability to choose another one. — najzere T 20:59, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

Question from Shoop
Do we delete user pages?
 * Generally, no. Not unless the user in question has a very good reason for requesting its deletion, the user page was created by a vandal, or it contains highly offensive material. 16:02, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

Another question from Shoop
How do I become an administrator? If you tell me, than also tell me how do I do the step to become an administraitors.
 * There isn't a specific way to become an administrator. You have to be consistent and a trusted member who contributes a lot to the site. And remember to sign your comments with the four tildes. -- E-123Wario54 The Temple of TalkFFI black mage (8-bit).gif 21:14, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Correct. Only a user who makes the best quality of edits, and shows that they have a good, clear understanding of the site's policies, will be considered for a nomination for administrator. 21:48, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

Monster Images
Hi, I play maplestory, I was wondering, if, for all the individual locations, I could add an image of the monster next to it's name,

I have already done so for Rien, Ereve, and Altaire Camp, Hoping that this doesn't change the layout of the pages.

I thought this might of been an idea to go with, particually for those who just want to see what the monster looks like without having to load up a whole page to find the monster they are looking for.

Thanks-rubberband


 * I don't play MapleStory. MMOs like that are incredibly unpopular over here (perhaps due to the lack of decent broadband outside Germany). But personally, I would say that it would be okay as long as it doesn't disrupt the flow and readability of the page. 17:19, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

MONSTER CATERGORY
Sorry, I'll start doing so from now on, thankyou I have to go to school now, I'll make sure there right when i get home.

Thanks-rubberband

You're my favorite user
Moydow, you are my favorite user!!!!

autoconfirmed users
What can autoconfirmed users do? Shoop 13:51, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Edit pages that are semi-protected; ie. those that anonymous or newly-registered users cannot. Also, please sign your posts on talk pages properly. Stop using the unsigned template. Just forget about it. Use four tildes in place of it.  14:23, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

just had a question
hey moydow, just had a question. i just clicked that signature button thing... and i dont think it really does anything. all i c on my page r a few wierd symbols, and is this the normal way im supposed to talk to someone? i just joined yesterday so im not that experienced.

i was also wondering how do u edit pages? like on the maplestory game there was a builds and formulas page and i just left a message asking someone to split it into 2 seperate pages. they did what i asked but id like to know how i would do that in the future. Last thing, how do u make those content bars with all the quick links to the different parts of the screen? thank you --David11563 18:14, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
 * The signature button creates four tildes, which automatically adds your username and the time you saved the page at, once you click 'Save page'. This is the page on which you talk to another user, but please try to use correct sentence form, grammar, and spelling. Not every user understands text-message shorthand (I have only limited knowledge of it myself). If you have notes regarding editing the page, click the 'Discussion' link in the Toolbox to the right, and leave your message there. Don't put it on the actual page. To edit the page, click the 'Edit' tab at the top of the page, or to the right of the section headings. Please try to make use of 'Show preview' to make as few edits as possible, and make sure what you're doing is working out. Tables of Content appear automatically when a page has more than three sections. Also, when starting a new page, begin by clicking 'Guide page' (just above the editing box). This adds the Header Nav and Footer Nav that must appear on every guide page. Look at the Guide, and that should answer any more questions you have in detail, but I can help if you find something difficult. 19:34, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

me again... another question about editing...
Id like to do something with the skill section for big bang in maplestory. If you've visited the skill section of the normal maplestory you'll notice that its broken up into several different pages based on the different jobs, if like to do the same thing to the big bang skill list. The big bang skill page has reached a critical mass of 900 kb... its a fkin big page!

Id like to break it down like the other skill page, and as i said before im new here, and im not really sure how i would do that.

I know i have to add another page and then copy paste the info in the seperate pages but i cnat manage to start that process. I look at the top of the edit page and i have no idea how to edit the links... its a real puzzle to me... if you could give me some info, or a guide page, or simply do it urself, id appreciate it. Thanks for reading, --David11563 19:34, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
 * A few other things first: only sign posts at the end of your message. At the end, leave a space, and click the signature button. Don't go to a new line, or put several spaces in order to push the signature to the right of the page, since it clutters the page. Second, page titles must use sentence case except in the case of proper nouns (places, chapter names as they appear in-game, etc). Now, I've never played MapleStory, and I've never read the MapleStory guide much, except when I need to revert vandalism or fix minor errors other users have made. To split via copy-paste, open the page that contains the info, then open the page you want to create in a new tab. Search for it, then click 'Create this page' on the search result screen. Other than that, the best I can do for you is to advise you to ask someone who is more familiar with MapleStory; two particularly well-versed users would be Imjon or Zienth, but make sure to leave the messages on their user talk pages. You may also get information about making edits from the Guide. Sorry I can't be of more help. 20:07, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

before u go editing anything on that maplestory page!
just wanted to let you know, i have the bottom link (the link to previous and next page at the bottom of the screen) set up so that u can access all of the sub section pages

at the moment im making a bunch of other pages (sub sections) that will replace the big bang skills page. So far im done with the resistance... ill get through all of them, then ill need some help with the shortcut at the top of the page, thanks for ur time --David11563 19:55, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

still editing
well im still editing... this is borring...

So far ive did resistance, legends, cygnus, pirates, thieves, and bowmen, still have to magicians and warriors

once again, they are all accessed through (big bang)>(skills)>then at the bottom of the builds page theres a link to "previous page" that will take u to the resistance.

At the bottom of the resistance previous page button it will take u to legends, and so on.

Please help me out on the link that goes at the top of the page, that was a real pain doing all that. --David11563 20:59, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

finished editing
i'm not sure who separated the big bang skills into the 4 different sections, but if it was you then thank you. I finished dividing up the skills from the original page into the four sections so that first page is now unnecessary. I haven't put up a nav. bar at the top of the page (still don't know how), and the nav bar at the bottom of the page is incorrect (had to put one up to move from page to page easier) so that still needs work... talk to you later --David11563 20:51, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

P.S. - I put the signature right after the writing :)

sorry about that
sorry i wrote that...this is my first time making a page. didn't mean to create any spam.

the truth is, i don't know that much about pokemon black and white. i downloaded the rom and only got as far as what I've wrote. plus the rom is in japanese, so i have to go by what I see. I'm pretty sure what i wrote is accurate though, since that's what I got from watching the scenes. Metsfan189Metsfan189 18:54, 20 September 2010 (CDT)
 * Don't worry too much about it. It's fixed up now. I'll fix anything else I find.  18:59, 20 September 2010 (CDT)

Also, I was just wondering, how do you create a user page? Which template should you use?Metsfan189 19:05, 20 September 2010 (CDT)
 * You don't need to use one on a user page. Userpages are different from guide pages. Just use the templates where they say you should use them. For your user page, just start editing. 19:11, 20 September 2010 (CDT)

lol
Hah, thanks for catching my typo man :) I appreciate it.  Welcome back!  How do you like the site performance so far?  Pro  cyon  10:53, 21 September 2010 (CDT)
 * No problem. Good to be back :) The site certainly seems a lot faster than before, I must say. It's worth the wait. I haven't noticed any bugs other than a couple that have appeared on other sites (such as amp; instead of & appearing in page titles) and Special:TwitterUpdate doesn't seem to work. Apart from that, all is well. 13:00, 21 September 2010 (CDT)

Table Help
Hey I'm working on DBZ: Buu's Fury (Good God) and i was wondering who i would get in touch with to make a somewhat simple table for the items and equipment? I'm not that good at creating tables. Thanks in advance. KimbleTHEcommie 03:53, 25 September 2010 (CDT)
 * It depends on the purpose of the tables. If you want to tabulate the entire list of equipment and items, I wouldn't recommend it, since these pages should also describe the items and their effects. 04:23, 25 September 2010 (CDT)
 * Well I'm trying to incorporate a pic the description(which is short), Stats and required level for it well also the name not too much but the page is extremely long so i was thinking a table would shorten it. KimbleTHEcommie 04:27, 26 September 2010 (CDT)
 * OK. If you add the stats, description, etc. to one piece of equipment, I'll see what I can do with it. 09:13, 26 September 2010 (CDT)
 * Ok it's up everything except the picture. thanks. KimbleTHEcommie 14:15, 26 September 2010 (CDT)
 * Check the page to see what I've done. A sortable table that includes everything, but eliminates headers. If you want, you can keep the headers, and take the item names out of the table. If not, just continue the table. Your choice. 14:44, 26 September 2010 (CDT)
 * Thank you for all your help. KimbleTHEcommie 16:42, 26 September 2010 (CDT)

first edit
Hi and thanks for the welcome. I guess you can see I've some experience with Wiki editing. Cheers. --Rws9 13:01, 2 October 2010 (CDT)

Welcome back!
It's good to see you :D  Pro  cyon  12:44, 15 October 2010 (CDT)

NIWA
Hi there. Archaic mentioned this at the NIWA forum, so I thought I'd take the initiative; are you guys planning on adding a NIWA bar to the Main Page, like we have at the other NIWA member wikis? I made a quick mockup (here) based on what's become the "standard" across the other wikis; maybe you could bring it up with the other staff and discuss if that's how you'd like to do it? Adamcox82 05:47, 16 October 2010 (CDT)
 * I've mentioned it on the forums; hopefully someone will reply there, or I can point the staff toward it. 06:52, 16 October 2010 (CDT)
