Welcome to StrategyWiki!
Hello RodKimble! Welcome to StrategyWiki. Thank you for your contributions.

If you need help editing, check the StrategyWiki Guide or ask a sysop, we're usually around. On the other hand, if you have ideas for StrategyWiki, bring them up on the forums.

Easier editing
The Show preview button (right next to the Save page button) lets you see how your changes will look before saving the page. You can use Show preview as many times as you like until you get the page how you want it. You can also edit the whole page at one time, as opposed to by section, by clicking the Edit tab at the top of the page. Hopefully these little shortcuts will make it easier for you to get the desired result when you're editing, and save you a little time. Thanks for working on the wiki! — 03:38, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

Thanks
Alright thanks for letting me know and forgot about that sorry the first time i didnt know because im a new since two days ago and a question where do i put my name on the editing part-RodKimble (talk) 03:51, 7 February 2014 (UTC)


 * No problem. If I post anything here it is for both StrategyWiki's benefit (it saves us time if you do things more efficiently), as well as your own benefit (learning makes you better). What do you mean by "editing part"? It looks like you figured out how to sign your name here, on this talk page. We do not allow people to sign their names on guide pages. Your name, or IP address if you are not logged in, is logged in the page's history, which you can view by clicking the History link on any page. -- 17:23, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

Question
Hello again I just wanted to ask if I put furniture sets on the animal crossing city folk furniture next and if I do where?-RodKimble (talk) 03:29, 8 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Your question does not make sense. Please try again. -- 04:54, 8 February 2014 (UTC)


 * You should check out the Animal Crossing: New Leaf guide for layout ideas. A couple of us have worked hard to get a good table of contents set up. You'll see we have content for furniture sets (work in progress) but I'm sure a lot of that stuff is the same across the series. Minx (talk) 22:21, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

Preload buttons
In order to keep pages on the wiki neat and uniform, we employ certain formatting and templates to help us accomplish this. When creating a new page, please use one of the preload buttons located above the edit text box (e.g. click on "Guide page" to add Header Nav to the top and Footer Nav to the bottom), which will insert the needed templates and formatting for you. These templates are very handy because they include the templates that are required for each page type. If you are unsure about how to use them, or what pages to use them on, please let me know. Thanks for keeping the wiki organized! — 05:10, 2 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Remember to press the "Guide page" button to fill in the footer nav so we don't have to do it for you. Thanks! -- 15:39, 13 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Alright thanks for letting me know sorry about that RodKimble (talk) 17:34, 13 March 2014 (UTC)

I noticed that Animal Crossing: City Folk/Town Folk was still missing a header and a footer. As NMH said, please press the "Guide page" button and fill in the page between the Header Nav and Footer Nav templates. Thank you. :) -- Wario Talk 05:06, 24 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Sorry about that I need to start remembering to do it I will try not to forget again. - RodKimble (talk) 16:03, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

Good work
Thanks for your work on the Animal Crossing: City Folk guide. It's really coming along nicely. Hopefully you'll be able to see it through to level 4! :) If you need any help at all, let me know. (Just noticed we're the same age, too. Nice. ;) -- Wario Talk 15:53, 11 March 2014 (UTC)


 * No problem i'm hoping to get it to level 4 soon.Alright thanks for letting me know :) Really that's awesome :D.i've been a new member since almost a month ago now so still getting used to the editing RodKimble (talk) 17:41, 13 March 2014 (UTC)


 * All 100% completed on Animal Crossing: City Folk- RodKimble (talk) 02:49, 28 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Awesome, I'll look it over. In the meantime, I noticed a few things missing from the city page (Marquee, HRA, and fortune teller) and information on the town shops/Town Hall. If you could add that in, that would be great. If not, no sweat, I'll get to it. I'm surprised at how fast you got through everything. I have a feeling this will be a level 4 guide soon. :D Also, just a little note: instead of writing stuff like "A button", you can use to show an image of it there instead. For example:  or  Thanks for your hard work! -- Wario Talk 01:37, 28 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Okay thanks, if you could help out I'd be real thankful for that. --RodKimble (talk) 16:13, 28 March 2014 (UTC)

NES and SNES games
I don't know if you care for emulators or have a problem with them, but you can play games online with a computer with Java installed at virtualnes.com and virtualsupernes.com (they have a game boy one, too). This isn't preferable, since you can't save games (AFAIK), but it's cool for checking out titles you haven't heard of. Also, the RetroN5 is coming out soon, which can play NES, SNES, japanese versions of those, Genesis, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance games. -- 16:20, 11 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Additionally, if you have an Android phone or tablet, you can find a number of emulators available for download on the Google Play Store. Personally, I use devices like the JXD S7300 and JXD S7800 which are built for gaming (Google them to find out more.)  As for finding the games, we can't really talk about it here, but feel free to email me for some help.   Pro  cyon  20:16, 11 March 2014 (UTC)

Closed Table
By now you should know how to close the table, yet you always let it open which will shown not properly. Please close the Table properly so it can be shown correct on site. Paco (talk) 20:49, 13 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Alright sorry about that still getting used to the editing part thanks for reminding me RodKimble (talk) 20:53, 13 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Rod, if it helps you, you can use an old programmers trick. Just as soon as you open the table with the {|, immediately close it with |}, and then start adding all the contents in between.  You're most likely to remember to close the table immediately after you open in.   Pro  cyon  23:43, 13 March 2014 (UTC)

Support
No problem! I'm glad to help out anyone who is willing to put the effort into using and improving our guides. Whatever you want to do here, you will have at least my support. The others here may not say anything, but they are likely watching you, too (like Paco, Minx, and E-123Wario54). -- 07:11, 16 March 2014 (UTC)

Mario Party mini games guides
Like I set up on Mario Party/1-player minigames, I believe we should use headers for the mini-games so that the info can be expanded to include screenshots and other helpful tips other than just the game's statistics and general description. Most games have little safe areas and other tricks to be exploited. What do you think? -- 16:35, 31 March 2014 (UTC)


 * I saw how Mario Party/4-player minigames are set up so I was doing that but I agree with you if we are doing that we should also fix Mario Party/4-player minigames as well. --RodKimble (talk) 16:58, 31 March 2014 (UTC)


 * I am glad that you got the table filled out. It is easiest to do one thing at a time in its totality, so at least you got all the basic info in. Now we can split it. -- 17:33, 31 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Since the tables were in the exact same format, I was able to use a regex to quickly convert it over. Yay :D -- 17:40, 31 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Great job looks very organized I totally didn't know you were helping out thanks for helping out that helped out a lot --RodKimble (talk) 18:20, 31 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Can you do that on Mario Party/3 vs. 1 minigames and Mario Party/2 vs. 2 minigames as well? --RodKimble (talk) 19:49, 31 March 2014 (UTC)
