# This is a fairly short game that has all of its puzzles thoroughly detailed, with pictures.

* [[Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar/Magic]] - there's some incorrect information on the page, as some of those spells can be mixed without doubling up reagents (e.g. Calumy from Yew mentions that it only requires one bloodmoss instead of two). [[Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar/Enemies]] - I noticed the game acts a bit odd in regards to non-evil creatures, sometimes inconsistent (e.g. lost valor for fleeing from non-evil, or taking no penalty for killing in an already started combat) as if the mechanic wasn't fully researched. --[[User:Sigma 7|Sigma 7]] ([[User talk:Sigma 7|talk]]) 04:49, 14 June 2019 (UTC) | |||
** '''Magic: (disagreed)''' the rightmost column in the table states whether there is a "new mix" available. If this information can be missed at a first sight, it is because I tried to limit spoilers in the guide. <br>'''Enemies: (agreed)''' I failed to notice this in the three ports I played (Master System, Amiga, Atari ST). I just added this information to the guide (with my writing quirk: I avoid using "not" as well as any abbreviation). --[[User:Abacos|Abacos]] ([[User talk:Abacos|talk]]) 09:44, 20 June 2019 (UTC) | |||

** ''Britannia Yellow Pages directory'' Is this an in-game term? | |||
** ''Controls'': Please update to follow the [[StrategyWiki:Guide/Gameplay pages#Controls|guide]]. | |||
** ''Enemies'': Alt text for the images seems to be broken. | |||

** ''Main page:'' fixed | |||
** ''Britannia Yellow Pages Directory:'' I thought it was a good description of what the page is about, although I know that today the Yellow Pages are websites; if you can come up with a better name, I am for it. | |||
** ''Controls:'' this will take me some time; this year I am far more busy than in the past. | |||

:Maybe rename it to something like ''Shops''? By default, pages should be designed to look good on the default skin (Dolphin). The width of the content section maxes out at 970px (-padding/margins). I'm browsing on the widest possible screen, and some of them look a bit unbalanced without 100% width. Nowadays, with how many people browse on mobile, we should also view the guide there. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|talk]]) 19:22, 14 December 2020 (UTC) | |||

* The guide is pretty well laid out, but it seems to be very low on images. [[EarthBound/Photograph Locations]] especially needs some. Most other things seem to have good coverage in text. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|talk]]) 14:42, 10 May 2022 (UTC) | |||

*I think Prod has the idea - a featured guide generally has a good number of images in conjunction with text. If it was raw text, then it's not too different from the old text file guides that SW was designed to replace. I'll move to support once more images are added.

This page chronicles every unsuccessful nomination at a featured guide. Do not move pages in here yourself unless you are the Bureaucrat that has closed the nomination. Pages may be moved here for the following reasons:
- There is great consensus not to nominate it (generally when the indicator is bright red).
- The nomination has been sitting in the requests page for a while without any recent action on it consensus-wise (generally when the time bar is pure blue or beyond).

This guide needs a few maintenance things before being promoted (at least we have a month or two!). One, all the AGN's have to become HN's> Two, the backs in the FN need to become prevs. Three, it needs a Spel Chek™. Other than that, it looks great ^_^ (besides MAYBE an image in the ToC). -- Safety Skizzerz Talk · Contribs · Spel Chek™ · VFG · RTFM 17:17, 16 August 2007 (CDT)
Regarding Proc's comments above: When it comes to compilations, I feel that for a compilation to be featured, each of the guides it contains should be featured. In other words, if All-Stars (which is a compilation) is featured, then the games it links to should be as well. Unless you are talking about a completely full guide on the All-Star. (I'm not familiar with DX, so I don't know what to say about that). Maybe we should bring this up in CI?--DukeRuckley 18:32, 16 August 2007 (CDT) I wonder if the special tricks should be mentioned here (sorry, I'm new), although most of them can't be performed normally. To me some seem more or less important, like hitting flying koopas from below and walking through walls (I performed this myself, too, but it takes patience). Also, I updated the world record time (or where did you get that?). --Proto 12:28, 18 October 2007 (CDT)

This is another guide that I have put a lot of effort in to, in order to provide plenty of pictures per page, while keeping the spoilers to a minimum. The guide covers every point along the game and provides a step by step presentation of how to progress through the game. Procyon (Talk) 22:49, 13 January 2008 (CST)
Yeah, I'll promote this one to featured status once I have enough free time to make the quip for the front page. --Skizzerz (talk · contribs) 20:09, 19 April 2008 (CDT) Sorry for my lateness. I've just proofread the entire guide and corrected a few small things. I'd be happy to support this as a featured guide, but not with the enemies page in the state it is. The whole right-hand side of the page is wasted whitespace, and I think the page would really benefit from complete tabulation. If you've got no problems with it Proc, I could do that and then promote the guide to l5? --DrBob (talk) 19:28, 25 April 2008 (CDT)
Something went wrong with this guide, and I'm not sure what it is. I appreciate all of the support that everyone has given it so far, but given Skizzerz's and DrBob's hesitance, whose opinions I deeply respect, I need to reexamine the choices I made for this guide and really understand what worked and what didn't. It's difficult to write a guide for a not-so-linear RPG since a player is more free to make certain choices about the order in which to do things on his or her own. Still, I thought Dragon Warrior would be an easy RPG to start with. Anyway, thanks for the continued effort to help improve this guide. Procyon (Talk) 20:57, 25 April 2008 (CDT) |

At this point, I would like to pose an important question: has anyone really compared Doki Doki Panic to Super Mario Bros. 2? Are they identical in game mechanics (e.g. gravity and movement speeds), maps, etc. and is really just a sprite-changed port? Perhaps we should just have a separate guide for Doki Doki Panic? --Notmyhandle (talk • contribs) 21:25, 22 March 2014 (UTC)
