Misplaced sig
Thanks for cleaning that up on my page. I usually only look at diff's and didn't notice that at the time :P -- Prod (Talk) 23:02, 26 January 2007 (CST)
 * My pleasure. --Notmyhandle 00:06, 27 January 2007 (CST)
 * Yeah I saw that and I have no clue how it got there. >< --Antaios 07:24, 27 January 2007 (CST)

Testing
No, I was testing PHP's safe mode (which makes the PHP installation supposedly more secure.) It works with StrategyWiki, but not ABXY.--Dan 21:50, 27 January 2007 (CST)

Deleting pages
If you need a page deleted, mark it with the delete tag. -- Prod (Talk) 11:57, 4 February 2007 (CST)
 * Sir yes sir! --Notmyhandle 12:01, 4 February 2007 (CST)

Sonic the Hedgehog Badniks
Actually, I didn't write the content for that page. Supremesonic did, I just reformatted some of it. So I'm not sure what he meant by translation. You'd have to ask him. Procyon 17:41, 5 February 2007 (CST)

Wikipedia link
I don't think we need to add a wikipedia link to all the pages. Only pages with minimal (stub) info. We're trying to break away from wikipedia, and use it as a resource, not as a crutch. My opinion is that wp links should go either in external links, or nowhere at all. This isn't really policy, but a suggestion. -- 09:06, 8 February 2007 (CST)

Potential significant change, could use input and later assistance.
I started a discussion on making a pretty substantial change to infobox and I thought I'd let you know about the discussion in case you were interested or wanted to help with the change if it was supported. link. Oh, and if you know someone who would want to help out/discuss this who's talk page I didn't leave it on, if you could let them know, that'd be useful, thanks. -- Mason11987 (Talk - Contributions) 09:00, 16 February 2007 (CST)

1080° Avalanche
As a suggestion, you might want to split it up so that there is one page per level, and have all the strategies for the level on the page. It seems that the walkthrough pages for each mode might get rather long this way. -- Prod (Talk) 14:22, 17 February 2007 (CST)
 * Yeah I understand, that's a better plan than what I have now, although it does lead to spoilers... And plus, with the ToC at the top length doesn't matter because you're going to look up the course anyways, not just like follow steps (like in Time Trial you can just choose your course).  So you see, I think mine is actually better, and look, Move Lists/Capcom/CVS2 is much bigger in comparison. --Notmyhandle 19:12, 17 February 2007 (CST)
 * I hope that's sarcasm, because otherwise your argument is confusing. Although the move lists would benefit from splitting up, the content is already there, everything is linked, and would be a pain to change.  This guide on the other hand is just starting.  Long toc's are annoying to navigate, and wikipedia discourages them.  I haven't played the game, so what kinds of spoilers are there? -- Prod (Talk) 20:06, 17 February 2007 (CST)
 * The only spoiler is the extreme mode of courses; since they are unlocked after expert is completed. I guess its not a big deal since they will reach lower on the ToC than the first three difficulty courses. --Notmyhandle 21:02, 17 February 2007 (CST)

IRC
Do you have it? -- Prod (Talk) 23:57, 20 February 2007 (CST)
 * Yup, I'll meet you in the SW channel. --Notmyhandle 00:07, 21 February 2007 (CST)
 * Where would this be? -- Mason11987 (Talk - Contributions) 09:54, 21 February 2007 (CST)
 * irc.dsmeet.com#strategywiki, I think. :-) --DrBob (Talk) 11:40, 21 February 2007 (CST)
 * . But you're a few hours late ;). -- Prod (Talk) 11:52, 21 February 2007 (CST)
 * That's fine, just curious for future reference. -- Mason11987 (Talk - Contributions) 14:05, 21 February 2007 (CST)
 * Make sure you join #Strategywiki and not ##Strategywiki or some other channel. --Notmyhandle 17:47, 21 February 2007 (CST)

Yea, it was down earlier. Seems to be working now. -- Prod (Talk) 19:38, 7 April 2007 (CDT)

Super Smash Bros. Brawl collaboration
Hey Notmyhandle, would you like to help out with the Super Smash Bros. Brawl guide when the game comes out. We're working on making it a large collaboration and would be enthusiastic if you could lend support. Check out this community issues section to learn more and put your name here to volunteer. If you know anybody else that would be willing to volunteer, please put a message on their talk page. --Ryan SchmidtTalk - Contribs 18:25, 22 February 2007 (CST)
 * I saw the issue; I lack the means but yes I will be helping as much as I can, I also agree that it's a good way to boost popularity. --Notmyhandle 18:38, 22 February 2007 (CST)

Nintendo Power
You say you get Nintendo Power? I just started subscribing! NP is how I found out about Lunar Knights! (One heck of an awesome game) Lunar Knight 22:01, 22 February 2007 (CST)
 * Sadly I don't have a subscription at the moment, but I have like two or three years worth of issues in my home somewhere. Might as well get one, I miss it, and yeah a lot of games come to my home through magazine publicity. --Notmyhandle 22:07, 22 February 2007 (CST)

Chrono Trigger/Techniques
No offense, but the toc could use some cleanup, it's somewhat hard to figure it out (the main headers are hard to distinguish from the section headers). -- Prod (Talk) 17:12, 24 February 2007 (CST)

Templates
Default values for templates can be set using (where default value can be blank). -- Prod (Talk) 17:20, 27 February 2007 (CST)
 * Oh... --Notmyhandle 17:23, 27 February 2007 (CST)
 * Try not to put === headers in templates, it completely messes up the edit links on pages that use them. -- Prod (Talk) 15:39, 28 February 2007 (CST)

Comment
I realize you intended proc's comments to be removed and not discussed, but in reference to your comment about me, don't worry about it, I did realize that you were just messing around :), and didn't think there was a communication issue, but whatever improvements we all strive to make in ourselves in order to help out SW are great. :) -- Mason11987 (Talk - Contributions) 14:23, 1 March 2007 (CST)
 * Yeah that was playful, Ech's was a misunderstanding. I once said something in response to prod while I was in a bad mood, but other than that I can't think of any deliberate hostility.  Again its all interpretive; my tone doesn't carry across words so yes it's probably very hard to understand my intent at times.  --Notmyhandle 14:38, 1 March 2007 (CST)
 * I always find adding a few emoticons helps ease understanding. :-) --DrBob (Talk) 16:40, 1 March 2007 (CST)

You needed help with something?
Check back on IRC if you need help with something. -- Mason11987 (Talk - Contributions) 22:26, 11 March 2007 (CDT)

MapleStory Features
As you may have noticed, we're still working on this quite a bit. I figured it was better to be doing all these changes on my userpage. For some of the entries, yeah they have a lot of overlap, and we actually did remove a number of areas from the chart. Some of them, that had notability before combining them, lose their notability. i can't decide if it should stay to illustrate the fact that there is a dungeon, or it should be removed since they're together. They weren't implemented together either, so that contributed to their notability. I'll bring it up with Prod when he gets back. Thanks for the opinion. IsaacGS 21:12, 20 March 2007 (CDT)
 * Actually we have noted every town... We recently copied these from wikipedia so they needed some cleanup. by putting the Icons there, it allowed for some merging and also needed some splitting. I combined Aqua and Amoria as you suggested. The dungeons are mentioned on the towns respective pages, so i think that's enough. IsaacGS 21:23, 20 March 2007 (CDT)

Chrono Trigger editing
Whoa! So people still play Chrono Trigger eh? Glad to hear that. I'll be happy to help editing the guide, just tell me what to do since I'm new to StrategyWiki(joined 2 days back).Pupul07 23:01, 20 March 2007 (CDT)

OK! I've written Yakra XIII(was missing) and edited Retinite and Magus. Please check them and tell me if that's the way you want 'em to be.Pupul07 23:01, 20 March 2007 (CDT)

Damn! I'm so sorry....keep making one mistake after the other...>__<Pupul07 23:12, 22 March 2007 (CDT)

Yeah no problem! But the thing is, my final board exams for the 10th are going on now so I barely get any time...I'm able to open the PC when my mom's not around lol.Pupul07 23:39, 22 March 2007 (CDT)

I'm going to go through and fix the links later on to point to the corresponding character on the characters page, so it's easy to get quick info on a certain character mentioned in the walkthrough if needed. --VinceIP 15:20, 7 April 2007 (CDT)

Comm Issues Revert
Hi Notmyhandle. I reverted the edits because I ended up speaking directly to Echelon about it, and while he's very interested in pursuing the project, it opened up a logistical can of worms that need to be figured out. He does not want to divide SW's focus at this time, and suggested opening a second wiki site for the purpose of documenting video game history, but issues were raised about how to share information between the two wikis and keep redundancy to a minimum, and it became a much bigger problem than we had anticipated. So the idea has been shelved until SW gets a little bigger, and it won't hurt SW as much if time was taken away from it for another focus. Procyon 10:11, 9 April 2007 (CDT)

Diablo 2
I was thinking that the stuff that comes standard in D2 under the regular d2 guide, and the final act V under LoD, since it isn't really part of the original game. If there are major changes to gameplay (secret areas or items earlier) that would go in a sidebar. -- Prod (Talk) 19:35, 10 April 2007 (CDT)
 * Hmm...I had though you moved /Act V from LoD to D2 (stupid roman numerals >.<). All the same, I would suggest rearranging both tocs so that the d2 toc could just be transcluded to the LoD toc.  Saves having to update both toc's.  There's some guide around somewhere that already does that, just can't remember which :P. -- Prod (Talk) 19:57, 10 April 2007 (CDT)
 * Kinda like this, but the LoD ToC needs to be cleaned up. -- Prod (Talk) 20:30, 10 April 2007 (CDT)
