thanks for the comments.. the date i keep finding on this game release is 1985.. is there some reason it was changed to 1986? i check KLOV and wikipedia.. Negative1 22:45, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
 * No, you're right, I typo'd when I moved it. Good catch! Thanks for working on the guide. :) — najzere T 22:57, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

Image categorisation
When uploading images, please make sure to categorise them using the correct image categories and the guide-specific category, i.e.  Category:Road Runner (1986) images. Please see our image policy for more details. Thanks for helping to keep our images neat! — najzere T 22:29, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

Road Runner guide
Hi, moved the info you've added to the main guide page to subpages (Getting Started and Walkthrough). See Guide/Main game page for what goes on the main game page. Thanks, — najzere T 22:59, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

no wonder i couldn't find it.. i thought it got deleted.. ok, well, i wanted the basic information on the main page..

i have a lot more to go on the subpages... sorry, its hard when it keeps getting moved!..

i'll put in some more information shortly.. thanks again..

there's a basic faq at gamefaqs.. it will be something like that..but more detailed.

 * Sounds good, let me know if you need any help. :) — najzere T 23:08, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

i'm adding a lot more information, it will be based on the 'crystal castles' page layout..

i'd like to add a wikipedia link, but it doesn't point to the right page.. also, i don't need appendices, but a basic control and home version comparison link added..

thanks..

Negative1 23:11, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
 * We don't really need a Wikipedia link, as all info about how to beat the game can be hosted right here on StrategyWiki. A home version comparison page would go in the Appendices section. I'll add a link for you. — najzere T 23:17, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

Image naming
Hi Negative1. Thanks for contributing to the RR guide, but unfortunately, all of your image files have to be renamed. It not just SW policy, but for the benefit of other users that you prefix image filenames with the name of game that the image comes from. If you could begin that process, it would be much appreciated. Otherwise, you've created a lot of work for a sysop to take care of, and they are already quite busy. Either "Move" each image to the corrected file name, or reupload them with proper file names, and then tag the original file with so that a sysop knows it can be deleted. Thanks very much for your help with this.  Pro cyon  14:50, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

how do i rename the file? i don't see that option when i go to edit the image?

yeah, i could re-upload them.. but a rename would be faster..

also, how do i get removed from the stage 0 completion? i can't seem to edit that either..

 * To rename, just "Move" the file to the correct name. It's up there at the top next to edit.  The completion stage is the "num" field in the Header Nav of the front guide page.  Please read the StrategyWiki Guide a little more closely.  A lot of people put a great amount of time into it to make sure that all of these questions would be answered.  Thanks.

 * Actually, only admin can move files. I guess I should put something in the guide about that :S. I'll do the renaming, but in the future you'd just want to mark them new name if you need a file moved. — najzere T 17:00, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

i have renamed all my files locally, and put them into the correct categories ready to re-upload..

let me know ahead of time, so we don't cancel each other's edits out..

sorry for the issues. this is my first one.. now i know where to go for the right information, and how to do it properly..

thanks

 * No problem, I'll just move them. No need to reupload. :) — najzere T 17:57, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

 * No prob. :) By the way, the info you're putting into some of the old arcade games (Millipede, Dig Dug, etc.)... are you writing that yourself, or is it from somewhere else? It's formatted with hard line breaks, which indicate it's been copied from a text file. — najzere T 21:51, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

some of the information is from donhodges.com, the other is personal information i've discovered on my own..
