Regarding your message on my talk page: yes I'm moving some pages and cleaning up some other things. A few notes: Thanks for adding some content to the Voyage Century guide, it's looking real good! - naj zere 18:01, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) When making a new page, use the "Guide page" button above the edit text box, which will automatically insert the Header Nav and Footer Nav templates into the page for you.
 * 2) We don't use preformatted text for things like displaying content, lining things up, etc. In fact, we try to use as little HTML as possible.
 * 3) Make new guide pages under the name of the main page, i.e. Voyage Century/pagename instead of Voyage Century Online/pagename. If you think the game itself should be called Voyage Century Online, then we can move the pages.

Voyage Century TOC
I'm not familiar with the game, but some of the new pages on the TOC (the ones below Controls) seem like they may fit under Appendices as well. It's up to you how you want to organize it, but if you think some of the info is more in-depth than a player would need before starting to play, you could move the pages around. We set up the navigation to go from Getting Started to Walkthrough to Appendices in most cases, so just put it in whichever order makes the most sense to you. - naj zere 21:23, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I took out the spaces between some of the page links, because it looked weird. If you want to keep some pages separate from others, i.e. the Material Guides and the rest of the Appendices, just use section name to create a smaller heading. That's what I did for the different Quests, if you want to see an example. - naj zere 23:55, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

I reorganized the ToC to look like where (I assume) it's headed. I also moved Merchant Quest to Merchant Quests to agree with the ToC. When you make a new page, it will cut down on a lot of confusion if you use the same one as on the ToC, or vice versa if you're adding a link on the ToC. In general we try and name pages as meaningfully as the text we would use to pipe to them. I also wanted to say that the prevname, nextname, and here parameters in the Footer Nav are by no means mandatory. Voyage Century is kind of a special case, because we want the appearance of pages being subpages of the "Merchant Quests" or "Adventurer Quests," while still maintaining only one level of subpaging from "Voyage Century/". Normally we just use prevpage and nextpage, which use the page names; I didn't want you to have to do that much work if you don't have to! - naj zere 16:51, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
 * There seems to be a lot of repetition on the Voyage Century/Level 2 Merchant Quests pages about locations to find the items. Do you think it would be worthwhile creating a page just to tell where they are all available, or would there be to many to easily organize? -- Prod (Talk) 16:38, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
 * All the quest are wrote down so the work is completed for that. I was planing to do a page where all the Goods are available, but I will keep the information in the merchant quest for the simple reason that sometimes people don't know what city is the closest. There is over 30 cities in the game so for a new person it's hard to memorize. I hope you understand what I mean. P.-S. all the other guide that I found where like that but they weren't as practical to use then this one. Thx for your comment DJ K-Jtan 02:17, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Image uploading
Please see our policy on image naming and categorization. Image names need to have the game's name or an abbreviation in them, and all images pertaining to a specific guide should have at least two categories, one or more describing them with an, and one for that game's images. For the image showing how to find the INI file, for example, you should use   . You should also put a short summary describing the picture or its function in the summary field. Thanks, - naj zere 08:34, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Just realized it's on the end. Nevermind :). -- Prod (Talk) 04:06, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
 * If you need something deleted, just label it with reason and an admin will delete the page/image if the reason is valid. -- Prod (Talk) 19:32, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
 * If it's a new image but you can keep the same name, you can upload a new version, that way we don't have to delete anything. Also, by convention we put the game's name or abbreviation at the beginning of the filename, so it would be nice if you started doing that for standardization's sake. Thanks, - najzere T 23:52, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

Editing tip
Hey, I just cleaned up the Skill Title page you made earlier (the page looked lovely btw). Please remember to add headers and footers to any new pages you make. They make navigation in a guide much easier. There is a neat shortcut you can use to automatically have the code for them pasted in right after clicking on a red link to make a new page.

There are 4 buttons right above the box that holds the text you are editing that say Main game page, Guide page, Company page, and Table of Contents. If you click on one of those before adding anything to the new page it will automatically add all of the required bits of code in there without doing any extra work (the 4 buttons are the most commonly made types of pages). --Zaiqukaj 08:00, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
 * No problem. Since I spent a long time not knowing how awesome those button things were when I joined I try to make sure to spread the word. --Zaiqukaj 08:23, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Re: Virtual Villagers 3: The Secret City
Hi there,

I just saw you modified my Banner for my Virtual Villagers 3: The Secret City guide. I want to know is this a strategy wiki norm or it's because my banner was too big? The problem is that it's pretty small on my screen resolution. Is there a way to make it bigger but still center ?

thank you very much

DJ K-Jtan 20:42, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
 * The problem is that at the banner's original width it caused the page contents to be shunted below the infobox on lower screen resolutions (like this). It is for this reason that we try to keep banner widths on the main page within reasonable limits (which is why marquee was created). Not all images look good at this lower size, but the alternative is even worse. This is less of an issue for subpages because there are no infoboxes there to shove images out of the way. --Garrett (talk) 22:37, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
