 * Thanks Najzere, and for the cleanups too ;D I'm a big fan of convention but I'm new to Wiki editing so you'll have to excuse my mistakes or workarounds while I learn the ropes! I've already taken note of the conventions in the civs/units pages you cleaned up so hopefully you won't have to clean up after me any more ;D I'll also leaving your message here because it has some useful links haha. Thanks again Najzere, I might be bugging you/admins with questions later on ;D - Pso 13:48, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi Pso. I'm guessing you like conversation! For someone new to wikis, you sure are learning fast! And there's no need to worry about mistakes. That's what naj and all the admins are for, cleaning them up. Luckily for me, I'm not an admin, so it's not my duty! And if there's a game you are good at or something, feel free to help with the walkthrough and stuff like that! I'll probably be seeing you soon (just a figure of speech)! -- Me lon  2  4  7  14:38, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Haha yep I don't mind a bit of conversation, and StrategyWiki is looking like a friendly place to settle down ;D Thanks for the kudos, I'll try to keep the learning up ;) and it looks like you've made quite a mark on the Dog's Life guide (amongst others)! Long way for me to go yet ;D I'll be sure to join in with other games and walkthroughs whenever I can; I'm not opposed to a bit of gaming and a bit of sharing ;) I'll probably focus on Civilization Revolution for now just to get some experience under my belt first. Have fun gaming and not having to be an admin! hehe sorry Naj ;) -- Pso 15:51, 6 January 2009 (UTC) (I'll be away until 13th jan so there'll be zero activity from me for the next week >_<)
 * You should consider dropping in on IRC sometime. You can always navigate using your own IRC client, like XChat, Chatzilla, or mIRC, or you can just use the "Chat" function in the side bar. --Arrow Windwhistler (talk) 16:04, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Haven't used IRC for like a decade haha, but I might jump in when I get back on the 13th ;) Thanks for the heads up Arrow ;D -- Pso 03:09, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Civ technologies
Hey, wanted to bring alphabetTOC to your attention in regards to the technology page, as its table of contents is long and creates much whitespace. I don't know if there are enough technologies for this to be worthwhile, but you might like it. Here's a couple examples: Zelda and Super Mario RPG. You can get those ugly headers out of the tech boxes by wrapping the names in  tags, although this won't build a TOC so you'd have to make one manually (or use the alphabetTOC). Another option might be creating ==Level 2== headings with the types of technologies to split the page up. I don't play the game, so I don't know if you can group certain technologies together or not. Just some thoughts on making the page more usable. If all else fails, you could use and make your own, like this. - naj zere 18:30, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah nice ;D I was looking for a way to reduce that large and unwieldy list, too much scrolling just to reach the first tech heh. I was going to split the techs up into the "Tiers", but that's not an official definition, just something to help explain where all the techs lie. My friend also suggested that keeping them in alphabetical order is good since people would use the page like an appendix/lookup anyway, so alpha would make it easier for them. Thanks for the examples; Templates! If only I knew how to make/use them before I did the tech page haha. When I come back I'll take a deeper look and fix up the toc/templates of the tech page ;D Cheers Naj -- Pso 03:09, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Great job on the tech page, those templates and the toc look real nice! - naj zere 18:58, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank Naj ;D still learning as I go -- Ps  o?  01:39, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Sandboxing templates
Saw your edit summary when you moved the sandbox page to the Template space. You can use transclusion (i.e.  ) like a template and the variables and everything should still work. You might as well just use the Template:template name page though, since you're going to have to create it anyway. =P - naj zere 19:18, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Haha I left a bit of a trail of destruction didn't I =D but thanks for that, I'll probably just keep to the Template:X now anyway since it's easier and seems to be convention :D -- Ps  o?  01:39, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Capital Headings
If you see the Dog's Life guide, the headings are un-capitalized apart from the first letter. But if you are talking about a certain object (see here), then the name of the object should be capitalised as well. Also something I'd like to find out is when you loom at your user talk page, do the links (as in 'user page' and 'edit') look a different font than usual? There might be something on this page confusing them or it might just be my computer. -- Me lon  2  4  7  14:01, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Never mind, I think I found the problem. It was this 'code' thing the Najzere put in the heading further up and it seemed to chage most of the writing to code style. -- Me lon  2  4  7  14:04, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Three talk page edits in under a minute :O this must be what it feels like to be an admin haha. But yep thanks for the confirmation about capitalised headings, and fixing up my talk page, don't think I would've found that nearly as quick as you heh. Cheers! -- Ps o  14:11, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm sort of in training to be an admin. Some of the guys (and girls) who are already thing that if it's my goal then if I stick at it I might just reach it. That's why I got a new hobby, of doing copy editing. But at the moment there's nothing for me to do in there because the category for pages needing copy edit is empty! I don't suppose you want anything looking through? -- Me lon  2  4  7  14:21, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Hey that's cool, more admins! Probably be needing more with all this talk about a second wiki heh. I'm just hoping I'll have enough free time to be a consistent contributor =O If the copy-edit category is empty maybe that means you're doing your job well ;D haha. As for looking-through, I haven't done too much just yet, just whacking in some info and lists in the CivRev wiki, and Naj has been looking on to make sure I don't muck things up too much =) If I ever churn out a horribly formatted page though I'll let you know ;D
