Fight Night Round 4 achievements
The achievements and trophies for the game use different images and the Xbox 360 version has more achievements – wouldn't it be easier for a PlayStation 3 user to see his trophies in a separate table instead of mixed in with 360 ones and the wrong images on some of the PS3 ones? Also, the PS3 version images are now orphaned. — najzere T 23:39, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Achievement tables
I've been including a nowrap parameter in the table cell with the platinum trophy to prevent link breaks within the column, but the same issue is present with the gamerscore column as well. I think it would be a good idea to set the width on the gamerscore and trophy columns in the Achievements Header template to accommodate a three digit gamerscore and a platinum trophy, respectively. What do you think? — najzere T
 * Maybe it's just me, but do you think the tables would look better with both gamerscore and trophy columns the same width? — najzere T 23:54, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

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

 * 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)


 * Thank you for your reply. I understand why I need to shrink the width size. What is a good width size for an image? DJ K-Jtan 22:50, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

BS Zelda: Kodai no Sekiban/Printable version deletion
Hi, I've marked BS Zelda: Kodai no Sekiban/Printable version for deletion and see you are the main contributor. Is this page necessary for any reason, or is it a holdover from Wikibooks or an earlier era of StrategyWiki? Just wanted to give you a heads up. Thanks, — najzere T 18:58, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

DLC question
I was under the impression DLC just went on the main guide. Is it based on how big they are? For instance, I would have added the DLC achievements and trophies for GTAIV to the GTAIV achievements and trophies page like we've done for other ones. Just wondering if there was a standard or if we take them on a case by case basis. Thanks, — najzere T 21:01, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
 * According to wikipedia it appears to be an expansion, not a DLC. -- Prod (Talk) 21:06, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
 * The GTAIV episodes are major DLC, comparable to a PC expansion. They are even sold separately from the main game (as Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City). The Oblivion expansions are listed separately too (they are DLC for the consoles but retail for the PC). --Garrett (talk) 21:10, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
 * What's the differentiation between a major DLC and a regular one (is there a label as such somewhere)? -- Prod (Talk) 21:21, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Um, er, not really. "DLC" is a catch-all term for everything from Horse Armor to an entirely new game chapter. Figuring this out is a case-by-case deal for sure. As a general rule, if it's the sort of thing that on the PC would have traditionally been sold in stores it's expansion-level DLC; similarly, if the PC gets it as a retail expansion but the consoles just get it as DLC it counts as an expansion. --Garrett (talk) 22:57, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

Good to know, guys, thanks! — najzere T 21:24, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

ME2 Vehicle
I noticed you added in controls for a vehicle on Mass Effect 2. I'm almost to the end of the game now and I've yet to encounter a pilotable vehicle anywhere (though I know there is the Hammerhead, I don't believe it's out yet). Where do you encounter a controllable vehicle in the game? If I can find it, I can figure out its controls and add them. — TheTwantalk 21:49, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
 * There are no usable vehicles in the base game, so these will be for the Hammerhead DLC. They were listed in the PC version's control customisation section. The Xbox vehicle controls are logical guesses based on other control similarities and may not be correct. --Garrett (talk) 22:37, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the quick response. Just wanted to be sure I wasn't missing something.  :D  — TheTwantalk 23:26, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi, an image you've uploaded: Image:Pokemon Platinum logo.png has been marked for deletion. Just wanted to notify you before deleting it. Thanks, — najzere T 20:23, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Kongregate badges
Hi, I marked Monsters' Den: The Book of Dread/Badges for deletion, which I think is a scope issue that needs to be cleared up. I've added it to the noticeboard, so hopefully everyone can give their thoughts since any consensus could very well be applied to other similar instances in the future. Thanks, — najzere T 20:04, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

BS Zelda
Does ZW:BS The Legend of Zelda: Triforce of the Gods need a guide here? -- Prod (Talk) 05:56, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Is that the proper name? Does it need a categorized redirect? -- Prod (Talk) 17:53, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Sounds good. I've created a standard redirect so that ZW links to the right places. -- Prod (Talk) 20:18, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

Achievements Header double image column
Hi, I had an idea about games with very different achievement and trophy images (instead of just a couple): Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection. This could be handled fairly easily in the template by switching out the cell width with an optional parameter. I like this layout a little better than floating the alt. images in the description cell, because they belong in the "picture" column and this way you don't have to decide which system's images get the main placement. I also like it better than a completely separate table as it avoids redundancy and page length. Let me know what you think. :) — najzere T 16:38, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Upcoming meeting
As a reminder, there is a meeting this Saturday, May 29, on IRC taking place at 2:00pm EDT (UTC -4). As always, agenda is available on the forums, so you may view it and suggest additions there. Hope to see you there! -- 04:01, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

When you updated the Table of Contents for Rolling Thunder...
...did you not see that I had marked the Controls and Enemies pages for deletion, as I have merged their content into a single page (Rolling Thunder/Getting Started)? Namcorules 15:30, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

How close are we to rolling this out? What else needs to be done for this template? — najzere T 13:24, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

Rename request
Could you rename me to simply "James"? That user has not made any edit to this wiki, so it can be usurped (rename that user to something else) — Sheriff James B. McDonald bad guys  01:49, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

Fable/Locations
Can you please add this page to the ToC? -- Prod (Talk) 05:23, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Looks like Gothic II/How to Get Into the City of Khorinis is also missing from its guides ToC. Can I leave that with you as well? -- Prod (Talk) 07:14, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
