Everyone I will not even meanting anything like I promised sorry for everything I caused I will act more mature towards Everyone including you and Proycon in one month once I return. I am very grateful for this! :D -- [[User:RodKimble|RKimble]] ([[User talk:RodKimble|talk]]) 21:57, 1 March 2016 (UTC) | |||
== Moving a page == | |||
It looks like those two games have already been moved. If you are using the default skin, there is a move link under the more tab. You can type the new name and move the page. Links, such as the table of contents, don't automatically update so you will have to change those as well. [[User:Tedium|Tedium]] ([[User talk:Tedium|talk]]) 19:43, 9 April 2016 (UTC) | |||

== Main Page templates == | |||
The main template for games has been switched from {{t|Infobox}} to {{t|Game}} for consistency with other templates. I think I've updated all the templates, but please let me know if I've missed any. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|talk]]) 21:21, 27 January 2017 (UTC) | |||
== Digital titles in Guide Completion == | |||
Hey Rod, long time no talk. Just wanted to let you know that removing digital titles from the 3DS completion list (One Piece and Sonic Mania) isn't necessary, as Procyon said when he undid your original edit ([https://strategywiki.org/w/index.php?title=StrategyWiki:Guide_Completion/Nintendo_Switch&diff=prev&oldid=808086]), so I'll go ahead and re-add them for now. Thanks for keeping the completion lists up to date. --[[User:E-123Wario54|<span style="color:Purple">'''Wario'''</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:E-123Wario54|<span style="color:Blue">'''Talk'''</span>]]</sup> 19:34, 29 September 2017 (UTC) | |||
*Hello there Wario, hopefully you've been very well! Okay, it's not necessary to remove digital titles from the switch completion list. I guess it was kinda new to me I just thought from not seeing digital only titles on other completion guides thought it was the same way. I'm sorry for that and am thankful for Proycon helping me out by reverting my edits and you letting me know. :) | |||
== Mobile Web == | |||
I saw some of your edits tagged as "Mobile Web Edit". Is this something new you're trying, or did it come in the new version we updated 2 days ago? How do you find it? -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|talk]]) 12:15, 6 October 2018 (UTC) | |||
:Must be the new version, I'm doing what I did before -- [[User:RodKimble|RodKimble]] ([[User talk:RodKimble|talk]]) 06:31, 30 October 2018 (UTC) | |||
