Mappy edits
Hi Namcorules. Thanks so much for that corrected info about the supercat coin. I'm happy to see someone else who has an interest in the classics. Welcome aboard. Procyon 19:21, 14 December 2006 (CST)

Pac-Mania completeness level
Hi again. I just wanted to let you know that I downgraded the completeness level of Pac-Mania from a 4 to a 3, and I wanted you to understand why. While what you have there so far is a good-job, it's still pretty much a start. The information your provided, while comprehensive, is not very thorough or well organized. Even I find it difficult to complete a guide in one day as it takes a lot of preparation and planning to incorporate all of the knowledge about a game in a concise manner. I can help you out with Pac-Mania when I get a few other projects off of my to-do list (namely Star Luster, which is another Namco game). Procyon (Talk) 10:49, 11 May 2007 (CDT)

File Deletion
Whenever you want a file (image or otherwise) to be deleted, instead of putting a bold line of text in it, just put delete on it. This produces a much more apparent tag that says the file should be removed. The reason for deletion goes in the first parameter (leave it unnamed or put reason=, like so: or ). Thanks! -- 09:37, 15 June 2007 (CDT)

Table of Contents
Just a quick note about the Table of Contents: on the main page this should be inserted like, and then just click on the red link this creates to make the Table of Contents. Once there you can use the Table of Contents button above the toolbar to fill in the basic layout automatically. This makes the link and drop-down of Header Nav work, and also means you only have to keep one version of the Table of Contents up-to-date. I've fixed the ones that weren't done this way already. Keep up the good work. :) GarrettTalk 18:38, 15 June 2007 (CDT)

Dangerous Seed
I was thinking you could just subpage the enemies on stage X all to the walkthrough page (don't have to do multiple subpages). Of course, if you have a lot of info about strategies for each level, then you could make a page for each level. -- Prod (Talk) 09:34, 4 October 2007 (CDT)

Guide formatting
Could you please start putting a between your image transclusions and the following header. I would highly recommend that you take a look at the formatting in some other guides to get a better idea of how to properly format your pages. It will dramatically improve the look of your guides.

Mass-uploading of images
Since you seemed to be uploading massive amounts of images, I just thought I'd pop by to show you an interesting feature that'll cut the time it takes to upload all of them. It's called MultipleUpload. It lets you upload up to 5 images at once, which saves a LOT of time. Of course, don't forget your image categories :) -- 15:26, 6 November 2007 (CST)

Super Xevious flyer
Hi Namcorules. I noticed to Super Xevious flyer upload. I did some research, and I am inclined to believe that the flyer you uploaded has more to do with the Famicom version of Super Xevious than the arcade version. Have a look at http://www.famicom.biz/all/htmls/6800000004060.html and see if you don't agree. I'd like to rollback to the original flyer image, but I'd like to know what you think first. If we choose not to replace the original flyer, it should be repurposed somewhere else appropriate on the site. Thanks. Procyon (Talk) 09:34, 27 November 2007 (CST)

Pistol Daimyo... boss name (kokakake)
First of all, where are you finding the names? Is that the actual correct Katakana? Secondly, コカッカケ is spelled as Kokakkake (little tsu adds an extra mora and prolonged preceeding consonant) in Romanzi. -- 03:27, 28 November 2007 (CST)


 * So the Romanzi is your doing I take it? Can you correct it then? -- 04:24, 3 December 2007 (CST)

Image naming
As a file prefix, PS generally means PlayStation, so Rocky renamed your image in accordance with our image naming policies. Unfortunately, the same will have to be done with all of the images that you uploaded with the prefex PS, but rename is an arduous process, and I don't blame Rocky for not doing all of them at once. Procyon (Talk) 09:32, 11 December 2007 (CST)
 * I didn't realise they all had to be renamed, I only renamed it because it was added by Prod. You can see all Images I have renamed by clicking here as I add the username to the image. BTW that reminds me... I need to rename a few more images. -- The preceding signed comment was added by Rocky (talk • contribs). 11:04, 11 December 2007 (CST)

Beraboh Man walkthrough
The content you have contributed will be modified by the next author. There is no reason to remove it. -- 21:18, 4 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Pardon me for asking, but who, exactly, is "the next author"? Namcorules 10:30, 5 January 2009 (UTC)


 * A little someone that I like to call ANYBODY. (e.g. possibly me when I get up to that game)  Which is also why you should feel free to peruse any of the Namco game guides that I started and contribute information which you feel I may have neglected.  I am currently working on Dragon Buster which I'm sure you're familiar with.   Pro  cyon  14:08, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Table of Contents (again)
When setting up ToCs for guides, try to add a few more links that relate to the game. Some future editors may see the redlinks and feel like adding content. -- Prod (Talk) 00:53, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Image categorization
Hey, I've been through your image uploads and I've added game-specific image categories to them (1300+, quite a chore!). Anyway, if you remember when you're uploading, just add to the summary. This will create a category to house all the images associated with that specific game. For example, and.

I didn't add, , , etc categories to most of them, because I wasn't really sure which they were. You can add those as well if you know where your image belongs. Most of the images seem to be enemies, and we don't currently have an image category for that, so no worries. Thanks, - naj zere 21:34, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Image naming (again)
Like with the PS thing, DS makes the image look like it should be an image for the Nintendo DS. So uploading them with DS in the file name (I understand it's supposed to stand for Dragon Shooter) isn't such a good idea. -- Me lon  2  4  7  19:11, 26 February 2009 (UTC)


 * It actually stands for "Dragon SPIRIT", and it was around at least a decade before the Nintendo Dual-Screen was even thought of! Namcorules 19:33, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree that when image naming for Dragon Spirit, don't use the DS initials. Most people associate DS with the Nintendo portable. If we shortened every old game, I'm sure we would find something some old game that has the initials of PS (which is the common initials of PlayStation), and other consoles/portables as well. Just because it had the initials first, doesn't always mean much. RobJ1981 20:31, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Also on the subject of Dragon Spirit: try not to put guide information on the main article. The note about 3-hit death should be in the guide itself, I don't think it serves a good purpose on the main page. If it's a unique feature or it's the first game to use it...then it might be a different story, however I don't think that's the case. RobJ1981 20:35, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Dragon Spirit
Hey, I moved the note on the main page to the Getting Started page so it would go with the info on Amul. It didn't seem like it fit into the story section on the main page. Didn't want you to think I was just deleting it entirely! :P

By the way, do you add the guides you make to your watchlist? I see some random IPs come in and edit some of the guides you work on, and I don't know if you monitor them to make sure the additions are accurate. If you don't watch your guides but you want to, Special:WatchSubpages is a handy tool. - naj zere 20:41, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
