__NEWSECTIONLINK__

Welcome to all users! This page is where you can ask StrategyWiki-related questions to the staff and senior community figures, and they will do their best to answer. If you want to raise a topic for discussion (rather than just ask about it), please use the community issues forum instead. New issues are entered here, with the most recent at the bottom of the page. If your question does not pertain to editing StrategyWiki (e.g. asking for hints or game-specific information), please ask on the guide's talk page or on the forums.

Please review the Table of Contents to see if your issue has already been raised; also check the archives (to the right) in case it was discussed some time ago.

To facilitate ease of browsing and replying, please:
 * 1) Place your question at the bottom of the list.
 * 2) Title the question (by placing the title between equals signs: ==Title==).
 * 3) Sign your name and date (by adding four tildes: ~ ).

Adding external links without being logged in is broken
First time I click save page, and the page reloads asking for a reCAPTCHA. After filling out the reCAPTCHA, the page reloads telling me I'm adding to many links in rapid succession and asks me to click save once more if I'm adding something serious. Clicking save once more reloads the page asking for yet another reCAPTCHA, and after that it reloads with the "adding too many links" message again. It continously goes back and forth between the two, and never actually gets to the point where it's saving my contribution.

Partnership proposal
I'm not sure if this is the appropriate avenue to post this, so let me know if there is a better place to discuss this.

I'm a staff member over at Nookipedia and I've been thinking about how to manage our Guide namespace. We don't have many guides for the Animal Crossing series, and those we do have are largely incomplete or disorganized. For this reason I've been considering removing our Guide namespace altogether. However, looking at our analytics for the wiki, a few of the guide pages actually bring in quite a bit of traffic, and so my proposal is this:

I want to move a short/summarized version of our most popular guides onto an appropriate page in the Nookipedia mainspace and provide a link to a more complete/detailed version of the guide on StrategyWiki. The information in our guide namespace that wasn't moved into our mainspace I would want to move here, if appropriate/if needed.

As an example, for our Halloween page, we might list some bare bones info like:"Feed jack Lollipops to get items from the Creepy Theme, or give him Candy for items from the Spooky Series. You can use Halloween masks to scare villagers into giving you Lollipops. A detailed guide for this holiday is available at StrategyWiki."

I wanted to get StrategyWiki's thoughts on this/whether you thought it made sense. I was also hoping that we could get some links back to Nookipedia from StratwgyWiki (e.g. links to villager pages) with an icon similar to other wikis at Guide/Partnerships? Let me know what you all think about this, would love to hear more ways we could collaborate on this project/encourage interwiki co-operation. --Sunmarsh (talk) 03:17, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
