Image uploads
Please see our policy on image naming and categorization. For consistency and ease of use throughout the wiki, image names should contain the name of the game or its abbreviation and a one or two word description. All images also need the appropriate categories added, as well as the guide-specific image category (e.g.  ). Thanks for helping to keep our images neat! — najzere T 21:57, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

Trophy images
Hey, thanks for uploading some trophy images! As you can see on the achievements project page, they only need the guide-specific and the trophy images categories. I totally understand why you'd put Category:Icons on there though, but it's cool because Category:Trophy images is already categorized under Icons! That's all – thanks again for adding to the game. It looks pretty cool; I may have to download it. :D — najzere T 22:30, 26 January 2010 (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, which will insert the needed templates and formatting for you. Thanks for keeping the wiki organized! — najzere T 00:01, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I made some changes to ToeJam & Earl/Table of Contents — removed the Story link (we try to avoid spoilers, but feel free to add a short summary on the Getting Started or Walkthrough page), added Walkthrough link (required for every guide) and lowercased "Ship pieces" to conform with our page naming standard. Just wanted to let you know! — najzere T 00:01, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks!
A little thank you… For making great edits and fighting vandalism. , najzere T 17:24, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

Main page categories
Hi, thanks for adding categories to the pages you've been creating. To make it easier (and so we don't forget), we've incorporated many categories automatically into the templates used on various pages. For instance, all the date templates automatically add the categories by year and, if it exists, date. Other templates that automatically add categories are Header Nav, sys and co. The Header Nav should be on every page, so you don't ever have to add guide completion stage category. Likewise it's also unnecessary to add categories for systems or companies if you're using the Sys or Co templates, respectively. Hope that helps! :D — najzere T 01:28, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

Guide completion pages
Hi, don't forget to update the count at the top of the page. :) — najzere T 20:30, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Got it. --E-123Wario54 20:33, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

Fighting games
Hi, we have a somewhat complicated format for fighting games, so I thought I'd pop in to give you some pointers. :D I see you're already putting character pages at "Characters/Character name", which is great! The reason we do that is so we can put the moves tables at "/Character name" and transclude that page into the character page and into a single Moves page. You're currently not doing any transclusion, but I see you also have a Moves page in the ToC, so I wanted to let you know. As an example, you would move the tables you've made for Goku to "Dragon Ball Z: Supersonic Warriors/Goku" and put the Header Nav between tags. Then on Dragon Ball Z: Supersonic Warriors/Characters/Goku, you would put under the Moves heading. You would also put under the heading " ==Dragon Ball Z: Supersonic Warriors/Characters/Goku== " on the Moves page. That way any changes you need to make can be done on one page ("Dragon Ball Z: Supersonic Warriors/Goku") but seen at both places. Also note that [[:Category:Character move lists]] should go on all the character pages (the ones at "Characters/Character name").

We also have some templates to help format your move lists at Category:Move list templates. Some of these look just like the normal tables you're currently using. Finally, in order to get the Table of Contents into the Footer Nav, you have to use the game name in the game= parameter, instead of "Game name/Characters". This means you'll want to use some extra parameters to make the links to the previous and next pages formatted correctly. You can use the prevname= and nextname= parameters to set the text of those links (like how we use pipes to change what links say). Here's an example: Characters/Goku. That's a lot of info! Let me know if you need any help, and feel free to poke around some of the other Fighting games to see how it's done. Good luck, :) — najzere T 21:20, 26 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Wow, that's complicated O.o So I already made a [Characters/Character name] page, but I have to make a [game name/character name] page too? Then copy the table to the moves page, and using a special moves template, make them all connect? Question about the templates--most of the images I've uploaded aren't PNGs, but JPGs. They also aren't named correctly (Portrait in front of the rest of the file name), so I can't use these images for the templates. What do I do about this? (BTW, thanks for all the help =) --E-123Wario54 22:49, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
 * No problem. For the images, you'll want to use a shot of just the character's head, as they're displayed very small (64px wide, I think). You can either get the headshots from the existing images and upload them to the correct filetypes/filenames, or you can use other images if you have any. These images are usually the icons from the fighter select screen. I'll set up one of the characters for you so you can see how it works in practice. :) — najzere T 23:05, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

┌──────────┘

Okay, you can see at Dragon Ball Z: Supersonic Warriors/Goku there is the actual move list, and at Dragon Ball Z: Supersonic Warriors/Characters/Goku it's been transcluded into the page. — najzere T 23:56, 26 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Oh, I see. Looks much better =] I'll do that for the other characters then (and get portraits). Thanks for all the help! --E-123Wario54 00:21, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

Good job.
The Eidolons page is coming along very nicely. Keep up the good work. If I do have one criticism though, it would be to source your images. Either to yourself or to where ever you obtained them. Jepjr T 02:31, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks. ^_^ --E-123Wario54 19:32, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

Virtua Fighter Remix
Hi, are you intending on creating new guide pages for Virtua Fighter Remix? I'm asking this because it appears to be just an updated version of Virtua Fighter. Is there enough differences between the two games for two separate guides? If they're only different in small ways, like graphics or a few little extras, but the bulk of the guide will remain the same, then you could use the pages from the original (we could add in control for any new controls), and create separate pages only for new things (look at Pokémon Emerald, in comparison to Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, for example.) What do you think? Moy dow  (ta lk) 23:25, 31 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Okay, I'll leave you to it, since the only fighting game I'm any good at is Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I'm just going on some research from Wikipedia and the Virtua Fighter wikia. But, that also seems to say that VFPC is a port of Remix, so I guess it makes more sense for those games. Moy  dow  (ta lk) 00:03, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

Virtua Fighter TOC
Hey there. I understand what you were trying to accomplish with the VF TOC, but you may have gone a bit further with it than we had intended. We typically keep subsets of Fighting games together under one series because they tend to be so similar to one another. E.g. All of the Street Fighter IIs are grouped together, all of the Street Fighter IIIs, Alphas, EXs, and IVs are grouped together, and so on. But SF2 and SF3 do not share TOCs, and SF4 does not share a TOC with either of them, etc. It definitely seems to me that many of those Virtua Fighters should be broken up. VF1 and VF Remix should definitely share a TOC. VF2, Sega Ages Vol 16, and arguably VF Kids could share one TOC. Fighters Megamix and VF Animation should definitely have their own guides and not be incorporated into of VF TOCs. So in short, if you could reduce the VF1 TOC to just VF1 and VF Remix, and limit the characters to only those which appear in those two games, that should suffice. Thanks very much for your hard work.  Pro cyon  18:08, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh, okay. Sorry, my mistake. I'll fix that. --E-123Wario54 18:14, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

New guide main pages
Hi, when you set up a new main page for a guide, please remember to take off the needinfobox and needcat templates that are automatically inserted with the preload, if you've filled out the infobox and categories, respectively. This way the page won't be erroneously categorized as needing those things. Also, putting something in the series field in the infobox automatically inserts that category, so there's no need to add it manually. Thanks, and keep up the great work! — najzere T 21:59, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Got it. --E-123Wario54 22:04, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Deletion notice
Hi, I marked Final Fantasy XIII/13 Days for deletion and I'm letting you know since you are the sole author, according to the history. The main reason is because it offers no gameplay help. Secondarily, as the first page in the walkthrough section, it's basically nothing but spoilers. I think it falls under the "story page" criteria from our scope policy. I'll leave the page tagged for a while so you can respond if you want, either here or on its talk page, or, if you have no objection, you can say so here and I'll just delete it. Hope you understand, — najzere T 22:14, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay, you can delete it. No objection or whatever. =] --E-123Wario54 19:00, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Done. Thank you for the quick response. :) — najzere T 19:25, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Sure. =] So what part are you up to in the game? I mean, the guide's awesome so far. It helped me too, hehe. --E-123Wario54 19:42, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm on Chapter 9 so far. I don't have too much time to play at night, and I'm also trying to finish up the trophies and guide for God of War III. :D — najzere T 20:15, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh, wow--playing both Final Fantasy XIII and God of War III? That's awesome =D And I'm on Chapter 9 too. Is God of War III awesome or what? ^_^ --E-123Wario54 20:57, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I think so, yeah. It was a real pain on Titan, but fun to figure out the strategies needed to win. The only trophies I didn't get were spam-related, like blinding x amount of guys, or shooting x amount of guys with the bow. I'll grind those out on my next playthrough as I write the guide. Do you play any games like GoW3? I mean action-adventure games, I guess, as opposed to fighting and RPGs. — najzere T 21:06, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Yup, totally. ^_^ I actually have God of War Collection, because I didn't get a chance to get it on the PS2 and it seemed like a good deal. I don't know if Sonic and Mario count, but other than that, Uncharted, Zelda (that's action-adventure, right?), and Resident Evil are probably my favorite action games right now. Shooting is also another one of my favorite genres. I don't like sports and racing much though. =/ --E-123Wario54 21:26, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

┌───────────────────────┘

Cool! Which Uncharted do you mean? Uncharted 2 is probably my second favorite PS3 game right behind Assassin's Creed II. The God of War Collection is a great buy; I loved both those games on the PS2 and I'll probably rent it just for the trophies :3. Yeah, I don't play sports games either, although I do like non-track racing games if they're not too realistic. Stuff like Diddy Kong Racing or off-road ones like Smuggler's Run or MotorStorm are fun if you can do crazy stuff. I hope you like the God of War games so you'll be forced to get God of War III when you're addicted! >:D — najzere T 21:42, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
 * The only racing games I play are Mario Kart and Diddy Kong Racing, hehe. I played a little of the first God of War, and the first boss was epic. Kind of weird too, because it's the first boss. =D The battle against Medusa was okay, but I guess I like going against bigger bosses, and I think she was more of a sub-boss anyway. But yeah, I think the best part of that game is the boss battles. Anyway, I liked both Uncharted games I guess, but I think I liked the second one better. I don't have Assassin's Creed =( But I'm probably going to get it soon, since I can't stand not having really good games. After God of War and God of War II though, III is next. =D --E-123Wario54 21:59, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

FFXIII enemy info
Hi, I saw you working on a format for enemy info in your sandbox. Don't know if you were planning on adding it or not, but we can also include rare drops, percentages for common and rare drops, chain resistance, status immunities and weaknesses and notes. I'm pretty sure we'll want to split them up into their own sections, since there's a lot of information and an image can be included. Let me know what you think. :) — najzere T 06:24, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay, sounds awesome. I wanted to try getting images for the enemies, I just didn't know if it was necessary. =D I think I can get (most) of the info for those other stats, but feel free to help me out. Also, would Eidolons and bosses and things like that go into the enemy section? --E-123Wario54 19:07, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I think they should definitely be in the enemy section as well, since you have to fight them before you get them and the enemy info for them is different than what's on the Eidolons page. Maybe I'll try putting together one of the enemy pages so we can work on the layout and whatnot. — najzere T 19:38, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, okay. Sounds good. =) --E-123Wario54 19:44, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay, I set up an enemy section on Final Fantasy XIII/Soldiers and I started a consolidated version in my sandbox. I was thinking that if the enemy info was narrow enough, we could go to a two-column layout for the enemy pages and maybe just have sections for the enemy group, instead of the group and each individual enemy name. Let me know what you think. — najzere T 21:53, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that would work =D It looks awesome, very neat. BTW, what program to you use to make the images transparent? --E-123Wario54 02:13, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I use GIMP. I'll see about templatizing the one in my sandbox, although it appears that it will quite complicated. — najzere T 02:59, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't know, Naj. When it comes to templates, nothing's too complicated for you. =D --E-123Wario54 03:03, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

┌───────────────────────┘

Well thanks, although I meant it would be complicated to use, not create. :P There's like 30 potential parameters, so it's going to be hard to memorize, but then again it would hard to produce all that info in the first place. I see you've used it in your sandbox, so what do you think of it? — najzere T 20:09, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
 * You made it pretty simple, actually. ^_^ Also, I downloaded GIMP and got the hang of it. I think I'll be able to get the images. -- E-123Wario54 The Temple of TalkFFI black mage (8-bit).gif 20:13, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
 * All right, cool. :D — najzere T 21:48, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

SuperSonicRider
Well, um sure! I have the "Deluxe" version of Sonic Adventure, but I'm sure there are purely cosmetic changes anyway. Specifics would be nice so that way the two of us can edit specific sections (lol redundant sentence). If you wanna do it that way, I'll do the "Controls" section because I like to use the controller templates.

And yes, Sonic '06 is a crappy game. --SSRider Wanna Chat? 22:57, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Oh sorry for the long reply! Anywho, just checked and there IS no Chao page. Maybe we could make a single page about the Chao, and see how it works. If it doesn't work out well (i.e. too much stuff to fit on a page) we'll divide it into sections. --SSRider Wanna Chat? 01:40, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

Heh, you weren't kidding about the Chao! I think it can all stay together on one page. --SSRider Wanna Chat? 01:36, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
 * You basically covered everything. However, are there different Chao Modes in SA1? I have both SA1 and 2, though I haven't checked up on Chao much in the first one. =-( I know Chao Karate is in SA2 as well as Chao racing, and the kindergarten. Does the first has these features? --SSRider Wanna Chat? 01:04, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

Forum post
Hi Wario. Just FYI, I moved your recent forum post to it's own thread because it wasn't related to SW 2.0, but to SW in general. And I replied. Thanks!  Pro cyon  03:06, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

The walkthrough on that game seems a bit light to be a cs 4 guide. Isn't there more guidance required for players to beat the game? -- Prod (Talk) 01:37, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
