subpaging details
Thank you for letting me know, I'm still learning so mistakes are bound to happen. I do admit sometimes I'm uncertain if some sections should remain on their front pages or not. For the sake of making sure we all have proper records of what came from where here is a list of anything that has been vague recently: I'm also planning on slowly chipping away at proof reading and subpaging the rest of Radiata Stories and Anachronox. They both seem to have complete walkthroughs but desperately need to be sorted out. --Zaiqukaj 03:01, 18 November 2007 (CST)
 * These were all subpaged from their front pages: Metal Storm, The Immortal, Radiata Stories/Easter Eggs, Radiata Stories/skills, Snowboard Kids Plus, SBK: Snowboard Kids/Modes, Snowboard Kids 2, Sonic R, Mach Rider
 * These were subpaged from thier walkthrough pages: Turok 3, and Anachronox
 * The information on the Fable/Spells came from the attributes page
 * The controls now in Super Mario 64/Controls came from getting started
 * Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets/Getting Started had a duplicate of info found in the characters and spells/potions sections. I read both versions to scan for any diffirences. What little was diffirent was added to their proper pages and the duplicates on Getting started were taken out.
 * Let me know if you want me to do this for anything older than these. It is pretty easy for me to see where the subpaging comes from since the page everything comes from is edited last as the now duplicate info is taken out. I stuck to pretty safe decisions this batch of subpaging so there are only 2 things I think may be wrong.
 * There is a chance the info in Sonic R/Walkthrough should have simply been an items page. The walkthrough pages seem to assume the player already understands what the items are there for. Kind of a prerequisite for understanding.
 * In the Radiata stories guide I just stuck with the term "Easter Eggs" for the list of odd lil things you can find. There are a ton of strange little details and quirks hidden in the game so giving it a page seemed ok. I'm just curious if we have a standard term for that.
 * Here are a few questions as well. Should I also be stating my source when working on the infoboxes? I always use wikipedia for this. I just noticed the new way ToCs are being formatted. It is pretty snazy. Would it be helpful for the cleanup project if I went through the guides updating them to use the the col and h2 templates in the ToCs? --Zaiqukaj 02:10, 19 November 2007 (CST)

Showing my gratitude
Thank you very much for your help. Since of your help, I have been able to revise it with ease. However, I been reading the guide and it seems such a bumper that I don't understand half of it. By the way how did you do it with the link? You told me earlier not to use the categories, but how did the new page appear all of a sudden. This is really confusing for me so if you can help please. Thanks once again.

Copyvio
Honestly I have no idea how I happend to delete that copyvio. I did not do it on purpose, but since I was cleaning up the Wind Slayer pages a little today it must have slipped somehow (though I realy don't know how) ... so sorry 'bout that, I undid the changes and thanks for noticing... --Bmuig 11:51, 27 May 2008 (CDT) (talk)

X (Game Boy game)
Hey Prod, what do you think of this title? Does it merit change? There is no other system that ever used the name "X" for any of their games, so technically, it doesn't require disambiguation in it's name. At the very least, it could be shortened to "X (Game Boy)" if the parentheses really lend anything to the title, distinguishing it from anything else X related. Procyon (Talk) 13:01, 27 May 2008 (CDT)

Deadend pages
So I was asking on IRC, and one idea I got from a person there: perhaps the special pages haven't been updated? That could be the issue that's causing the two pages to appear in deadend still. RobJ1981 03:53, 29 May 2008 (CDT)
 * The same two pages appear on Special:Uncategorizedpages (despite them having categories), and it's been that way for weeks now. Whatever is wrong with these seems to be far-reaching... GarrettTalk 05:47, 29 May 2008 (CDT)

MrSmartGuy
The edits are mostly constructive, as a lot of the areas in the training guide aren't really practical training spots these days. I probably wouldn't have removed any of them, but I agree that all the ones he removed were not as useful in the modern environment.

Re: Fist of the North Star
Which game gets the honour of taking that page? (and Hokuto no Ken for that matter). -- Prod (Talk) 00:37, 6 June 2008 (CDT)
 * I'd say have both redirect to the category. I don't know much about this series, but it looks like it's basically a tie. GarrettTalk 00:46, 6 June 2008 (CDT)
 * Previous discussions were that you only redirect if no game uses that name. Only use disambig if the original name is taken.  In the case of ties, pick the more popular one, otherwise the first one. -- Prod (Talk) 00:55, 6 June 2008 (CDT)
 * Well, it's complicated. The first Hokuto no Ken was localised as Black Belt, which would be the name used here. Hokuto no Ken (Famicom) is the next to use the name but was not localised. The first to use Fist of the North Star is the localisation of Hokuto no Ken (Famicom)'s sequel. GarrettTalk 02:30, 6 June 2008 (CDT)

Lunar Lander
It's really a footnote in video game history, it's barely a game. After the first 5000 came out of production, Atari started to convert the rest to Asteroids. I'm on the fence concerning the Vector category. It's not incredibly useful, but it is kind of interesting. I could take it or leave it. I'll leave that one up to everyone else.

Control template.
I don't know about control template, if you revert it, can you teach me at the same time? I'm only here for less than six months and I only know button template but not control template. It will be helpful so I'll have less difficulty when dealing with an old page into a page with multiple chioces. Johnnyauau2000 10:42, 20 June 2008 (CDT)

Re: Ports
If there are new features that require more pages be added to the original ToC, I think it deserves its own main page. -- Prod (Talk) 16:05, 28 June 2008 (CDT)

Re: Platform/Platforms/systems
I was using platforms since that's what wikipedia uses. If you have a better reason let me know. I'd like to deprecate one of the uses. -- Prod (Talk) 00:41, 6 July 2008 (CDT)
 * The same term should be used for the parameter as well as the resulting template; Wikipedia uses "platforms" for both, while the infobox here uses "System(s)". "Platform" is perhaps the more technically accurate term to encompass things like Steam and Windows (which don't have dedicated hardware), but outside Wikipedia it's far less common (for example, the Google hits for "game platforms" are insignificant compared to "game systems"). Companies often refer to a product as a "system" (Sega Master System, Nintendo Entertainment System, Nintendo Super System, etc.), further reinforcing this use. GarrettTalk 02:23, 6 July 2008 (CDT)
 * My opinion is that we should go by the more accurate technical term, since editors can either copy it from wikipedia, or look at other examples. Visitors should be able to figure it out based on usage.  Which do you prefer? -- Prod (Talk) 11:57, 6 July 2008 (CDT)
 * My preference is "systems", for the reasons given above. GarrettTalk 23:33, 6 July 2008 (CDT)

Needcontrols on Legend of Legaia/Arts
Did you place the template there to change all the arrows to DPad controls? I actually tried that at first and thought it looked too confusing in this context. Having the whole DPad image makes it harder to figure out what direction comes next in a long string of directions (such as 8 or 9 in a row). If you are referring to battle controls in general (i.e. how to input that), I figured that belonged on its own controls page.-- Duke Ruckley Talk 08:06, 17 July 2008 (CDT)
 * That looks a lot better than the DPad for the PS, though I still think the arrows look best in the end. Is there a specific reason you want that changed?-- Duke Ruckley Talk 06:10, 18 July 2008 (CDT)

Tedious rules
This site's editors and illogical, irrational rules are starting to get a incredibly tedious.

In two weeks I have nearly 1000 edits, and have added over 400 images. I have spent dozens of hours adding material to this site, material, I might add, which is found no where else on the internet or in print.

I even bought a TV tuner for my computer so I could take photos of the game and was thinking of investing in even better tuner to add more photos for this site. Every photo goes through a 5 step process before getting online. Thats a lot of invested time.

I was planning on using flash so I could make several new maps, similar to this flash map.

I was looking forward to the 2 new zombie games, so I could add material here too.

Instead of congratulations and thanks, all I get is reprimanded, repeatedly. It is getting really old, really fast.

Based on the "thats the way it is always done, and so here is the door if you don't like it" response which I have gotten from several editors, I can already guess your response, so I will start looking for another wiki to post my edits.Travb 15:56, 19 July 2008 (CDT)

Yoshi's Story = Mario?
I've got a quick question. Should Yoshi's Story be put in the Mario category? It is the sequel and prequel to Yoshi's Island and YIDS (respectfully). But of course, there is the problem that Mario isn't in it at all, even though it is a sequel to a Mario game. Sorry for bothering you again.

Re: Image Names
I was just thinking of trying to further categorize the images so that they're easier to find for my own sake, 'cause I don't exactly have an easy time memorizing file names. =P Sometimes I go into the categories to find the name of the image I want (especially since I sometimes have to do mass-uploads) and...stuff. Yeah. So I suppose I could change it, but it's just a bigger pain for me, that's all. I just need to find a system of uploading files that works.

As an example, I can't remember if it's CNC, or CnC, or C&C. Or if it had a 3 at the end. >.> The other big problem are plurals. Can't often remember if it was "DropPod" or "DropPods"...you get the idea. --Arrow Windwhistler (talk) 08:03, 24 July 2008 (CDT)

MrSue
Did you ban him permanently? I realized now he stole my writing for the Kane's Wrath units, specifically the Hammerhead gunship article. It was originally in with the ordinary GDI units, but I deleted it since you told me to keep the original and expansion units seperate. Now he's copied my own text and, since he's reposted it as his, is essentially taking my work and claiming it as his own. Unless there's some kind of rule saying that my writing is in the open the moment it gets put on Strategywiki, ain't that a copy violation? --Arrow Windwhistler (talk) 10:58, 31 July 2008 (CDT)
 * The question really is "Does attribution apply to content copied from within the site, to the site?" and the answer is yes. -- 16:18, 31 July 2008 (CDT)
 * Skizzerz explained it to me in IRC, so it makes sense. But still, shouldn't there be some kind of attribution to me rather than someone else simply copying what I wrote in a previous version? --Arrow Windwhistler (talk) 18:01, 31 July 2008 (CDT)
 * Yes, your name goes in the history. Lets say instead of MrSue the culprit was me - I've done this where I copy/move something and forget to add the names of the original page/content creators.  However this isn't a problem because one of us can easily add your name to the credit/history list in an edit summary.  -- 19:58, 31 July 2008 (CDT)

Star Fox 2
Hi, I'm currently working on this game guide and I saw that you suggested that the bosses be moved into the walkthrough section. It could be done, but I would prefer not to, because since this is a sort of sandbox game (in a way) I was going to go into the gameplay rules in there just mentioning game elements like enemies or bosses when they appeared, etc. and the going more in detail in the subpages. The walkthrough section(which would more appropriately be called gameplay) will contain quite some info once I'm done with it and the bosses section appears small now but there are more bosses than that and I will put images for each too, so I also fear it may be too much to put in one section. Let me know what do you think

(but anyway I'll remove the tag because that tag is to split the section even further, and I think that's not what you mean, if you still think it should be merged I think you should put the merge tag and bring it up on the discussion page ; ) )

~ Galaxy 02:15, 26 August 2008 (CDT)

Hi, well yes, if by levels you mean the planetary bases, they will be in the 'Planets' section eventually with images and a mini walkthrough explaining how to get to the end of them (maybe even maps in the future). But because of the nature of the game enemies are also "levels" in a way, what I mean is that in a RPG for example you have the main game game line and enemies are just a side part of it, in this game however the missions are assigned when you confront and enemy group at least in space. That is also why I decided to put 'enemies' and 'bosses' sections under 'Walkthrough' instead of 'Apendices' like some other guides do. ~ Galaxy 21:06, 26 August 2008 (CDT)

I have thought about that, and I could be done that way but I am not sure it's the best option, because Land Bosses are in specific levels in specific difficulty levels, but Space Bosses are not in specific places. I also wanted to have the sections with clean distinctions, what i mean is that if I put Land Bosses on Planets, then that would leave Space Bosses by themselves, because they are not planets, if you rename planets into levels, as i said, enemies and missiles are also "levels". What I had in mind is giving the walkthrough for the land levels in 'Planets' referring to the bosses section whenever you had to face them, that way also works when you are only searching for the way to defeat a specific boss without having to look for it in the middle of the planet walkthroughs, or when you follow a link from the word 'boss' from another page. ~ Galaxy 21:22, 26 August 2008 (CDT)

That's fine, as you say, it can easily be moved in the future when the sections are more complete, thanks ; ) ~ Galaxy 22:07, 26 August 2008 (CDT)

Hi, I saw that you changed some formatting I did in Star Fox 2/Getting Started using 'div style="float:right; padding-left:1em"', I used that to put the Toc to the right to save space, and I also used it with the image so it could be on the right just besides the Toc, it was the only method I found to do that. I reverted the image formatting because I don't think it looks good to the left, but I also noticed that though you made the Toc stay to the right with 'floatingtoc', the problem is that the text makes contact with it because it doesn't have padding, unless you know how to put padding, I'm going to revert it as it was. This method is also used by other guides like Ocarina of Time anyway. Thanks ~ Galaxy 12:09, 30 August 2008 (CDT)


 * Wouldn't it be better if 'floatingtoc' had a bit more padding? ~ Galaxy 12:32, 30 August 2008 (CDT)


 * Well, looking at the padding that other objects have like image boxes or Infoboxes it is more like at least 1em. ~ Galaxy 20:44, 30 August 2008 (CDT)
 * I don't know... it looks fine to me, I'll post some screenshots in case we are seeing different results. This is the padding that a thumbnail image box has:


 * http://img261.imageshack.us/img261/2788/padding1yz9.jpg


 * and this is the 'floatingtoc' with 1em padding:


 * http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/2579/padding2bq7.jpg


 * as you can see it's pretty close, but another issue i found out which may be the reason of why you see it as too much is because 'floatingtoc' has padding all around where the method I was using with 'div style="float:right; padding-left:1em"' has only padding to one side, so 'floatingtoc' looks like this on the top right corner too:


 * http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/4647/padding3fh7.jpg


 * What I care more about is the padding from the text, but I also didn't like the toc being in contact with the top navbar, that is why I put a blank line on top which you deleted, though I also thought i wasn't a very professional solution. So the ideal I think would be to put 1em of lateral padding and just a bit of vertical. Can you fix this? If not I would really prefer going back to the other method. ~ Galaxy 12:30, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

 * I'm one step ahead of you. :) These lists would would be stored on a subpage and updated by a bot, ideally reading the data directly rather than from DPL, and this same bot would also be processing system's top 10 to effectively eliminate DPL from everyday use. There are several bots on Wikipedia that are already serving similar purposes and at least some of them are open source, so this should be quite feasible. Since there isn't going to be much movement on these lists the bot would only need to run once a week, so the human effort and server impact is negligible compared to the current DPL implementation.
