FF7 Magic Materia templates
I think Magic Materia3, 4 and 5 are fine as tables. They are tabulated data and should be arranged the way they are. -- Prod 18:02, 5 October 2006 (CDT)
 * You're right. I think I was getting a little too excited when tagging those for detabulation. :-P What does need to be done to them is some work making them look a little more like other table templates. --DrBob (Talk) 01:07, 6 October 2006 (CDT)
 * Such as? -- Mason11987 (Talk - Contributions) 10:39, 6 October 2006 (CDT)
 * Such as the infobox. For one thing, they need borders. --DrBob (Talk) 11:35, 6 October 2006 (CDT)
 * How's this? -- Prod 12:11, 6 October 2006 (CDT)
 * Better. :-) --DrBob (Talk) 14:10, 6 October 2006 (CDT)

Vandalism!
I am urgently reporting to you about vandilism I have discovered. The vandalism was perpetrated by Fuckyoubitch. It includes the use of slang and inappropriate language on pages in the MapleStory article. 0-172 18:27, 7 October 2006 (CDT)
 * I was eating, so I didn't notice it straight away, but Prod has restored the page, and I've permanently blocked the user. Thanks for telling me. :-) --DrBob (Talk) 13:41, 7 October 2006 (CDT)

My Guide
Hi Dr Bob. I've been working on many guides but have finally finished one. Can you please check it and see if I've missed anything out, because I really want it to be completed and show everything. BBA Guide Thanks.


 * I was watching this guide's progress as you were doing it (I was bored), and I'm wondering why you decided to remove the All Game Nav references on some of the pages? All pages in a guide should reference All Game Nav, but only the main one should have the "num" parameter. Other than that (which I've fixed), it looks good, although you haven't finished the classes page yet. :-P --DrBob (Talk) 08:38, 8 October 2006 (CDT)


 * Well it said "Return back to Big Brain Academy" so I thought that would be enough. I'll add the navigation back in then. I'll finish off the Classes page now. I've done the ACWW calendar. Its now all "4" as you would say, completed (after I've done Classes!) Phoenix499 08:42, 8 October 2006 (CDT)


 * One of the advantages of having the All Game Nav is that people can use it to view that guide's TOC on any page, just by either clicking the "Table of Contents" link, or pressing the "Show" link to expand the TOC on that page. Good work! :-) --DrBob (Talk) 08:49, 8 October 2006 (CDT)

Strategy Wiki National Pokedex
Oops, sorry. You have a point there. Whats going to be done about it? 0-17219:20, 8 October 2006 (CDT)
 * I've deleted it for the moment, but it can soon be put back if discussion in community issues is positive. :-) --DrBob (Talk) 14:27, 8 October 2006 (CDT)

Alignment
I noticed you helped me out with my Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee Guide and was wondering if it was possible to have the three images line up on this page? Thanks, --Kyron 12:41, 9 October 2006 (CDT)
 * Done, to the best of my ability in 5 minutes. :-P --DrBob (Talk) 13:14, 9 October 2006 (CDT)

Request for a bot?
Hi DrBob, I have a big favor to ask of you. I decided to create the Fighter Portraits category because the number of portraits are going to grow and it just seemed to make sense. But now all of the other portraits are in the Characters category. Is it possible for you to script a bot that could recategorize all of the existing portraits to the new category? They all start with "Portrait_" so it should be easy to script. If it's not possible, I'll go ahead and start doing it manually, but I thought since you had some bot scripting experience, I would ask you about it first. Thanks, whether you can help or not. Procyon 13:50, 10 October 2006 (CDT)
 * Ho ho. It's good that you ask this now, because I've just got my bot working again. It'll take me a little time to find some free time and get it all set up, but I'll do it. :-) In fact, I'll go one better, and add them to Category:Fighter portraits. (Proper capitalisation.) :-P --DrBob (Talk) 15:14, 10 October 2006 (CDT)
 * LOL, touché. Sorry about the Camel Case.  Again, it's the programmer in me.  Which leads to my embaressment that I don't know how to script a wikipedia bot.  Do you have any site that you could point me to in order to learn?  Thanks very much, and thank you as always for your assistance. Procyon 15:58, 10 October 2006 (CDT)
 * I can't think of anywhere, really, unless you want to root around on Wikipedia, but all the bots there which have source available are in Perl, and I can't understand it (my Perl knowledge is severely limited). Mine's written in PHP, and the source is available here. It's a bit of a mess at the moment, but it might be useful to you. :-) --DrBob (Talk) 16:43, 10 October 2006 (CDT)

Wikify
How are we supposed to wikify ASCII diagrams? -- Prod 11:35, 12 October 2006 (CDT)
 * Make nice diagrams of them. We're no longer in the stone age. ;-) --DrBob (Talk) 11:56, 12 October 2006 (CDT)
