Preload buttons
In order to keep pages on the wiki neat and uniform, we employ certain formatting and templates to help us accomplish this. When creating a new page, please use one of the preload buttons located above the edit text box, which will insert the needed templates and formatting for you. Thanks for keeping the wiki organized! — Paco (talk) 20:49, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

Chaos
Can you please stop that for a second and think stuff through. You are throwing everthing in Chaos and that is not helpful at all what you're doing. Take your time and plan it beforehand and add it one after another. Rushing it will not help anyone at all, okay? Paco (talk) 21:07, 31 March 2014 (UTC)
 * I really do hope that you will read our StrategyWiki Guide and then go back and fix all of the pages you created so that someone else doesn't have to fix them for you. Thank you.   Pro  cyon  23:58, 31 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Forgot the menu's yesterday. I was aware of this last night before you commented, just had some things in RL to deal with and had to put it off. Obviously I am here to add them today. Any changes I do make, I'll finish to the end. I was sort of learning the site on the job. As I am going I am trying to keep it simple and orderly. I apologize if this confused you. Didn't mean harm.

I've gone through all the pages I created yesterday and made sure the headers and footers were there. Also made sure the links were fixed. Someone was making changes yesterday and adding more pages while I was and I think that is where the confusion was to be had. Don't know why, since it was new sections, but it happened. Next time I'll comment in the discussion part to let others know it is being worked on at that time. If it would make you feel better.. one of y'all could double check to make sure. I promise you I never plan just to abandon pages I create. If I don't finish it on the day of, I will come back. I always double check my work when I am done (if not for broken links, at least spelling, learned yesterday spelling can make or break a page lol).

P.S. Overdrives for that game was one thing that was missing and most sites you have to dig for that info. Hope all else I add, you guys find an asset. Ariel790 (talk) 20:38, 1 April 2014 (UTC)


 * It's ok. I am reviewing all of your work. Thank you for your contributions. Our admins, including myself, tend to get stressed out by new users who go bonkers, because we don't trust them and because they have a lot of editing habits to adjust to with all of our standards. Regardless, two days worth of a genuine material is a good thing and we will deal with it one step at a time. I hope you stick around! -- 20:43, 1 April 2014 (UTC)


 * +1, I hope you stick around as well. You are currently our resident FFX expert.  Congratulations and welcome aboard.   Pro  cyon  23:43, 1 April 2014 (UTC)


 * If you have any specific questions about layout or whatnot that we have not brought up with you already, feel free to post on my talk page or in the staff lounge. -- 21:39, 1 April 2014 (UTC)


 * I completely understand. Y'all work hard on this site and to have a "newbie" come make so many changes can be nerve wreaking - and I am just that to you. I am learning your protocols as I go and reading through the guide you suggested to help it be a more fluid change. Each site is different and it will take some adjustment, but I promise I am not here to hurt the site. Love this one because it is so clean and simple compared to others. Plus you guys actually communicate. Most user edit sites don't have that at that and if someone messes it up .. that's that. Like I said earlier as well, please don't hesitate to check my work or let me know if you don't like something I have edited. Only way to know or learn is to say something like you guys did. Thank you for welcoming me aboard! Ariel790 (talk) 17:09, 2 April 2014 (UTC)


 * You're willing to work for us and with us, and thus we want to work with you. So, thank you for understanding. Great work on the enemy page! That one is huge! I think the extra weakness details and such could be revised to be simpler, and at the top, but each monster entry should only have the properties listed that apply to it (we don't need each monster to say "no blind resistance", just add the properties that pertain to said monster). -- 18:15, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

Deleting a page
Only admins can delete pages/files. However, you can mark a page to be deleted by adding Your reasoning for deletion.. Then an admin can come by and check it out, and if it makes sense, they will delete it. -- 00:46, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

FFX enemies
Let me clarify the intention. I know that the old tables are gone. I know that you won't be using the same abbreviations, etc. for much of anything already posted. What I did was simplify the old information for the page, but not in hopes of keeping it. At the time I was merely condensing it. The goal here is to have you replace what is unused with what is used, and to explain how you use it. The basic definitions of each column of the tables is very important for readers. So if you can do that then we can scrap it altogether, though the current form is a decent way of doing it. Just make a bullet for a point, then write about it. It doesn't have to have its own section or be particularly long. -- 20:35, 2 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Some of it is important so I do understand the need to keep it. Just wasn't sure how to do so in the tables and that is my current dilemma. I haven't finished adding all the fiend info so was going to finish that and then work on what to do about other monster properties such as inflictions they are weak or immune too. I'll have to check on the game what they use in scan to find out what is relevant in that regard (I'm more of up your strength and attack the crap out of it type of player lol. So a lot of those abilities aren't used by me, but may be by others so I do know somewhere it is needed - at least for bosses.) Basic thinking right now is adding most used information about all instead of just little information about some. The page was so empty of relevant info for having so much on it. Love your idea to at least have a paragraph about it. Planned to add a better description anyway. I haven't check out the Monster Arena pages, but those eventually need to be linked as well. I'll let you finish and think on it so that we aren't working on top of each other. Your edits have been a big help btw. I do agree it needs condensed. Thank you for that.

 * Before I forget, is there any easy way to make a table sortable after it has already been created? Bosses could use that. Ariel790 (talk) 21:03, 2 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes. will add a javascript arrow to all columns. You can click it to sort it while viewing. However, to arrange it permanently, you have to re-order the code. The only way to do that automatically is with a custom computer program. I'm not that good at coding (I could probably do it, but I don't have a compiler set up), so I would just do it by hand. I often use regular expressions to automate large batches of changes, which may be helpful for my next comment. -- 00:46, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
 * May I separate the HP and MP columns? Slashes are harder to read. Also, if we enable sortable on all tables, then people can sort by HP and MP values, if they wish. -- 00:46, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
