Fine then. I'll get rid of my category. :P Wikipedia has tons of "users who X" categories and they seem to tolerate them, but whatever, I'll get rid of it. I thought it would be an easy way to manage the users from Abxy who are participating in this project. Hell, we should be working on something similar to Wikipedia's WikiProjects if anything. Just trying to start something up BUT IF YOU HAVE TO SHOOT IT DOWN... :P --Sakurina 16:08, 30 December 2006 (CST)
 * Perhaps not a perfect solution, but Special:Whatlinkshere/User:Sakurina/UBJump
 * Yeah, thought of that right after he took it off... I would have thought it up faster if it wasn't on the sidebar. D: What's with the talk page being on the sidebar? That makes no sense! --Sakurina 16:29, 30 December 2006 (CST)
 * I think we're a bit small to have little communities like that spring up: at most you'll have a couple of users in the category, and that's just a waste of database space. You'll all know each other anyway, if you're contributing to a guide a lot. --DrBob (Talk) 06:32, 31 December 2006 (CST)

Hitman: Blood Money/Walkthrough
Copyvio? http://www.ocmodshop.com/ocmodshop.aspx?a=493, http://www.gamerhelp.com/xbox/HitmanBloodMoney/109940.shtml. I've left some questions on the author's talk page. There goes your nice empty talk page ^_^. Actually, after a bit more googling: http://www.google.ca/search?q=%22So,+all+I%27m+doing+here+is+giving+the+path+I+used%22&hs=i4Q&filter=0. Oh, and the guy is named sha_dar on gfaqs -- Prod (Talk) 18:24, 13 November 2006 (CST)
 * See what he says, but remember: if you're in doubt, tag a page as copyvio. It can always be removed later, so it's better to be safe than illegal. ;-) --DrBob (Talk) 00:59, 14 November 2006 (CST)
 * Since there has been no reply, I deleted the pages. -- Prod (Talk) 12:35, 28 November 2006 (CST)
 * Good work. :-) --DrBob (Talk) 15:17, 28 November 2006 (CST)

Animal Crossing images
I have a lot of fish and bug images to upload. Here is the first:

If you could have a look at the categories before I continue to upload everything. I was also wondering if we could do a category for AC:WW Fish images and AC:WW Bug images as there is so many of them. Anyway let me know! --Minx 06:41, 17 November 2006 (CST)
 * That looks fine. For fish you should use Category:Animal Crossing: Wild World fish images instead of Category:Animal Crossing: Wild World images, and for bugs you should use Category:Animal Crossing: Wild World bug images. :-) --DrBob (Talk) 11:00, 17 November 2006 (CST)
 * That's great! Thanks!! --Minx 11:13, 17 November 2006 (CST)

Media and Input
What's this all about? --DrBob (Talk) 01:10, 18 November 2006 (CST)

I didn't know that that was nessecary here. I deleted it, because I haven't seen that anywhere else on Strategy Wiki. I thought that was only a Wikipedia kind of thing. 0-172 18:13, 18 November 2006 (CST)
 * Nope. You haven't seen it here because it's new, but it should be used. --DrBob (Talk) 12:42, 18 November 2006 (CST)

Bot status
Can I get bot status for User:Auto Prod Bot? For now, its going to be used for minor odd jobs (like Community Issues until I can figure out how to write my own. I'll warn you before I try anything major ;) (and it will always be attended by me). -- Prod (Talk) 22:38, 20 November 2006 (CST)
 * I've made it a bot and a sysop. Have fun. :-) --DrBob (Talk) 00:50, 21 November 2006 (CST)

Footer Nav
Something funky is going on the with Footer Nav on the The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time/Walkthrough page. When expanding the ToC it kinda expands the Nav box, but the ToC shows up outside the box. Here's a sample. -- Prod (Talk) 21:14, 6 December 2006 (CST)
 * Fixed. (All it required was a - after the ToC inclusion.) --DrBob (Talk) 00:40, 7 December 2006 (CST)

FF templates
heh yea I was looking for the proper category when I got sidetracked. Thanks for fixing them. --Argash 07:58, 2 January 2007 (CST)

Super Mario 64 DS
Help! Super Mario 64 DS/? Switch. -- Prod (Talk) 23:04, 2 January 2007 (CST)
 * You can't have question marks in page names, as they have a special meaning in URLs (even when encoded). You'll have to think of a different name for the page, which doesn't include a question mark. --DrBob (Talk) 06:15, 3 January 2007 (CST)

Category:Final Fantasy IV images
Hey man I just finished tagging all 200+ FF4 images with this category so they are now all in one place. One problem though, almost every single image file name starts with 'FF2' instead of 'FF4' we need to find (hopefully an easy) a way to move all the images to the correct file name so that when images from FF2 proper are added they won't get mixed up. After thats done we'll of course need to update every page that includes any of the images to reflect the file name change. --Argash 06:24, 3 January 2007 (CST)
 * Oh blimey. That's going to take a lot of work. Perhaps you should talk to Prod, since his bot is the only one working at the moment. I'll see what I can do with mine, but I can't guarantee anything. --DrBob (Talk) 09:25, 3 January 2007 (CST)
 * My bot isn't that smart (yet, which can be a while). A topic to watch is on bugzilla. -- Prod (Talk) 17:41, 3 January 2007 (CST)
 * Hmmm...I suppose technically my bot could do it, but it would take a while. Are you sure you want all the images starting with "FF2" to be changed? (Are they all in the FFIV images category?) --DrBob (Talk) 02:10, 4 January 2007 (CST)
 * We probably have some time before it needs to be done. It just needs to be done before someone starts working on the FF2 guide.  I tagged every image used by the guide and put them into that category, before that the category didn't exist so I'd say it's safe to say that every image in that category that starts with FF2 should be changed to say FF4.  --Argash 03:22, 4 January 2007 (CST)

X-Plane
Seems to be a program for simulation rather than a game (refer to WP:X-Plane). I would say we should get it undeleted and just move any new info there. -- Prod (Talk) 10:50, 5 January 2007 (CST)
 * Looking at the Wikipedia article, it does seem to be in gaming categories, and there's nothing saying it isn't a game. The program's website itself is particularly unhelpful, but I think the guide should stay here. --DrBob (Talk) 06:03, 6 January 2007 (CST)

Trouble with link colors on the new zelda templates
Prod suggested you might have a better idea on this problem could you take a look and see if you can find what we're missing? --Argash 09:17, 6 January 2007 (CST)
 * I can think of a way to do it, but that would require adding rules to the site-wide CSS, and I don't think that's appropriate for a guide-specific template. As Prod says, it's best not to detract from the unified theme by changing the link colour for certain things, and so I believe the best solution to this problem is to not have the title as a link, and rather link to the appropriate page in some text in the main area of the template. --DrBob (Talk) 10:43, 6 January 2007 (CST)

Adminship
Well, as you advised, I worked on getting things right the first time (I am better at it) and waited a few months to ask about adminship again. So... How about it? 0-172 20:30, 6 January 2007 (CST)
 * You certainly have improved recently. What would being an admin help you to accomplish? --DrBob (Talk) 16:41, 6 January 2007 (CST)


 * Being an admin, I could do more. With admin powers, I can delete things if need be(instead of relying on administrators to delete things for me). Also with admin powers I could help guard the site against spammers and vandals(though they are very rare here). 0-172 23:51, 6 January 2007 (CST)
 * Let me discuss it with some people. :-) --DrBob (Talk) 10:52, 7 January 2007 (CST)

Mason11987 got FFXII, Dukeruckley edits infrequently, and Inarius has major deadlines at work. Sakurina, Garrett and Procyon work mostly as writers. Leaving you and me as editors. So, here's a few questions for 0-172: I'm mainly interested in your answer to #2. Note that if you want to help keep the site clean, you will be expected to continue doing that. The only reason I'm being this critical at the moment is because we only get like 500->1k edits per day, which isn't that difficult to keep up with. As we get more people joining, we will definitely need more people. -- Prod (Talk) 11:54, 7 January 2007 (CST)
 * 1) Have you read WP:WP:Administrators, specifically WP:WP:Administrators?
 * 2) Do you want to do more writing guides, or keeping the site clean?


 * I have gone over the pages you've mentioned above. I understand the trivial matter statement. To answer your second question, I have an interest in both. I enjoy writing guides, but I would also like to assist in keeping the site clean, if it is at all possible to do both. If it is not possible to do both, I would be content to do either one. 0-172 23:58, 7 January 2007 (CST)

Subpages
Sorry! I didn't intend it to pan out like that. It was for the game final fantasy v, by the way, I'll go about fixing it immediately. Thanks for telling me.--Froglet 01:39, 19 January 2007 (CST)

Wikibooks Import List
I noticed you had added some XML dumps to the list back in November. Do we just Special:Import them, and then cleanup? or do you need a program to upload it page by page? From what I remember, import is limited to 100 revisions, so will it be able to handle a 10 meg file (StarCraft)? -- Prod (Talk) 00:16, 20 January 2007 (CST)
