Cut back on edits
Please try to cut back on the amount of edits you make to pages. Not only does it waste space in the database (as each revision must be kept), but it clutters up Recent Changes. You can easily cut back on edits by saving the wiki code to your page in some text editor, and edit in that text editor, then after you are finished making all the edits to that page, copy/paste the contents of the editor into the page and save. -- 09:39, 28 December 2007 (CST)

Unlimited SaGa
Cool, it's always good to have some people do minor updating on lots of guides. "Many eyes" and all that. I'm actually hoping some of the other sysops will chime in about the rename, since we tend to use the "Characters" name, and I'm not sure if it's reached "standardized" yet. -- Prod (Talk) 17:58, 7 February 2008 (CST)

Total Annihilation structures
Hi. You're doing some good work on the Total Annihilation guides, but I was wondering if you were planning to add any descriptions to the data for the structures you've added (such as here). Without a description, the tables of numbers look a bit daunting, and some people prefer simple descriptions to read before they dive into the numbers for reference. Thanks, and keep up the good work! :-) --DrBob (talk) 09:00, 9 February 2008 (CST)

Categorisation and infoboxen
Hi. If you're going to go around filling out infoboxen and adding categories to guides, could you please make sure to get everything right before you remove the needcat and needinfobox templates from the pages? I've had to clean up almost all of the edits you've made today, and I don't want to have to do that.

You're mostly getting things right, which is good, but you need to make sure to check your edits more carefully using the Preview button before saving. Take for example: you've subpaged everything nicely, but the system list isn't comma-separated, some of the systems are misspelt, and the same is true of their categories. In other guides, you've missed out some categories completely.

In summary, please put some more effort into your edits or leave categorisation to those who are more experienced. :-) --DrBob (talk) 17:15, 12 May 2008 (CDT)

Thank you
Hi Vizeroth. We owe you a long overdue thank you for helping us out so much with the DoubleJump categorization. I did not want you to think that your efforts have gone unnoticed. It is very comforting to know that someone has taken responsibility to be on top of that aspect of our deal. Thank you very much. Procyon (Talk) 14:01, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Star Ocean
Would it be better to redirect Star Ocean to Category:Star Ocean? I don't know if someone typing it into the search box would be looking for the first game or not. - naj zere 23:22, 2 January 2009 (UTC)


 * No, what you do is place series disambig at the top of the page of the game. -- 11:19, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Navs
Please don't use the Navs on user pages since it improperly categorizes them. I would suggest using something like Skizzerz has instead. -- Prod (Talk) 03:17, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I'll take a look at it or figure out another way to do it. Removed it for now and just replaced with links so I can get around and not lose track of things (don't want to orphan my own pages ;)--Vizeroth 20:04, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Spoiler tags
I noticed you had 4 different spoiler tags on your FF IX page. If someone is following a walkthrough, there is only so many spoilers they can avoid. Trying to hide the content of the guide because it reveals plot points that they're about to find out defeats the purpose. I would suggest trying to be more ambiguous ("talk to this character for some plot development") or to move the content somewhere else. That's not to say that it isn't sometimes necessary. -- Prod (Talk) 06:16, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
 * No problem, I was just being overly sensitive about it, most likely, and I'll try to be more vague about anything I think may be problematic in the future. Of course, I generally don't do a lot of walkthrough stuff because it takes longer (for me anyway) than most of the other content or cleanup work.--Vizeroth 19:54, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I know the feeling, I have very little walkthrough edits, but a lot of cleanup for essentially the same reason. -- Prod (Talk) 22:06, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
