| ==Re: Editing tips== | | == Compliments to your clean-ups. == |
| I just got your message regarding the Battlestations Midway thing. I admit - I have next to no idea what I'm doing. Really what I'm doing is stealing code from the other pages, seeing what it does in Preview, and seeing if I like what it does. I know very little about coding to make stuff like tables, so that's where the copypasta stuff goes in. I only copy the tables, obviously, and not their data =P

|
| So yeah, I didn't even know that those did anything, so a list of my main errors would be useful and I could go back and edit them out. --[[User:Arrow|Arrow]] 11:35, 29 November 2007 (CST)
| | I realised all along it was you who knows how to bring any article up to speed where I was working on. I like having a guardian who knows how to make it more "strategy wiki" if I can put it that way. I want you to keep up the good work and hope for the best. If there is anything else you can do than I won't have any problems with it as long as you know how to make it special. Even if it's nothing special. [[User:Johnnyauau2000|Johnnyauau2000]] 13:31, 1 November 2008 (UTC) Thanks. I use my head a lot and sometimes do a bit of research and also question the backgrounds of certain games. If they haven't taught me those lessons than I would be lost. Now, I'm just looking for something new to do all the time. Well it's nice of you anyway.

| Thanks for your help, I'll thoughtfully read the guide you gave me to avoid further mistakes.

| One question remains, though.
| |
| I didn't make the whole Aquaria guide, I just added the "Forms" page for the guide.

| Hi DrBob. It's true that I used that section of the guide as a basis for that page. I altered some things as I went along. The guide is out of print, and the publisher is out of business, and the wording is not exact, just the organization and the tables, since the information was complete and concise. So I'm not sure if there is a legal issue. More of the text could be modified if necessary. [[User:Procyon|Procyon]] ([[User talk:Procyon|Talk]]) 07:43, 14 January 2008 (CST)

See to it that besides the table, the topics like offense, defense, projectiles and without projectiles, final smash (with the exception of Zero-Suit Samus), throwing ability, speed and overall performance is well written and the logic is clear why it's important.

| == TF2 medic section == | | == Re: Vista == |
|
| |
|
| Hi. Sorry I haven't contributed after finishing the Chamber 19 portal walkthrough, but I've been a little busy at school.
| | Why have you deleted the Vista category? We had it separate from the normal Windows category because the games for Vista typically won't work on previous versions of Windows. --[[User:DrBob|DrBob]] ([[User_talk:DrBob|talk]]) 23:59, 19 March 2009 (UTC) |
| | :Initially it seemed like Vista-only games were becoming a reality (especially since both Games for Windows launch titles required it) which is why I made that category, but two years on this simply hasn't happened. Instead the division has shifted to DirectX 10, with OS incompatibility being an inevitable side-effect. With Vista SP1 gaining increasing acceptance and 7 pushing XP out of the market entirely upon its arrival (even for netbooks) this isn't going to be as much of an issue as it seemed back in 2007. For this reason I feel a category division is no longer necessary. [[User:Garrett|Garrett]]<sup>[[User talk:Garrett|Talk]]</sup> 02:43, 20 March 2009 (UTC) |

| I'm writing to hear if you'd be as kind as to go through the Medic guide I've made for Team Fortress 2, and tell me if it's ok. Since I'm not used to write strategies, and it is far from the same as writing a walkthrough, it would be nice to know if what I'm doing is right.

| ==Custom Headers==

| You seem to be knowledgeable about the technical aspects of StrategyWiki so I have a question for you. If I want to define one custom header and then include it in all the pages in a specific guide, is there any advantage to using a template over a transcluded page (i.e. ''Template:Street Fighter II/Header'' versus ''Street Fighter II/Header'')? Is there some sort of agreed upon standard here that I should be following? --[[User:WretchedSpawn|WretchedSpawn]] 18:48, 21 January 2008 (CST)

However, maybe we should be using this instead of separate images? --{{User:Notmyhandle/Sig}} 01:49, 22 January 2008 (CST)

| What exactly was wrong with making it not a redirect? I took a look at this: [http://strategywiki.org/wiki/Special:Whatlinkshere/Sega_Entertainment], and nothing else links there. Why should Shadowrun be the only thing that links there due to a redirect? Nitpicking little things doesn't appear to be productive in my view. [[User:RobJ1981|RobJ1981]] 23:46, 2 April 2008 (CDT)

| == Re: Manual of Style ==
| |
| It's nothing personal, I just hate how controlling it is. HTML comments are frowned upon, thumbnails can't have size attributes, the navigation templates are standardized (my biggest problem, personally), and all the books are meant to look the same. I'm used to putting a personal spin on things and when I have to follow stricter guidelines like these I don't work well. Maybe it's a bit OCD, I don't know. It's not a problem, it just doesn't sit well with me. [[User:PiemanXC|Pieman]] 13:36, 6 April 2008 (CDT)

Wikipedia has the category filled with most (perhaps all) of the games here: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Nintendo_Entertainment_Analysis_and_Development_games]. Also, I think anything with Nintendo Research & Development Team 4 (or RDT 4 and other appreviations) need to go there as well, as that's the former name of the game studio. I've started on it, and I'll try to do what I can in the next few days. [[User:RobJ1981|RobJ1981]] 15:07, 13 April 2008 (CDT)

| ==Cleanup question==
| |
| I noticed this page: [[StrategyWiki:Cleanup project/Misspellings]], and I was wondering if I add a new word to the list... will it automatically catch all of the mistakes that need to be fixed? Or do I need to do something else, to make sure it works correctly? It looked like just a search feature, so I wasn't completely sure. Also the list could use some updating and checking. I would imagine, if the pages with drivel is gone through first, a big number of misspellings would be gone as well. On a related note: coming soon needs to be listed another way on the misspelling list. I found coming soon in this article [[Mario Kart 64/Tactics]]. The misspelling link for coming soon didn't catch it because it's listed as coming_soon. [[User:RobJ1981|RobJ1981]] 14:18, 25 April 2008 (CDT)
| |
| :Hm, I don't remember seeing this before, perhaps it was with the mediawiki upgrade, but either way we either need to find out if there's a way to search for exact strings or if it's a bug - in which case someone needs to make a report. I'm no good at that, last time I tried I got so friggen confused. If we do go that way, I suggest passing it on to Skizz as something he should do. --{{User:Notmyhandle/Sig}} 07:17, 26 April 2008 (CDT) | |

| |
| :This was never discussed. As you know, SVG transparency isn't working. That's fine for white or off-white backgrounds, but it looks ugly and unprofessional in {{t|sys}}. I uploaded PNG replacements to get around this, and then I decided I might as well simplify the template in the process. I also hoped that doing so would eliminate the calls to non-existent SVG equivalents of the PNG images. In fact, it seems to have lumped these phantom calls together (see [[Special:Whatlinkshere/Image:Deprecated template usage icon.png]]). If you can somehow fix the SVG rendering that would be great, but at the moment they're unfortunately inferior. :( [[User:Garrett|Garrett]]<sup>[[User talk:Garrett|Talk]]</sup> 16:35, 15 June 2008 (CDT)

| Some extensions we are using have [http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-announce/2008-June/000073.html XSS vulnerabilities]. Additionally, MediaWiki 1.12.0 is now stable, and has a few nice additions. There's also [http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/branches/REL1_12/extensions/ParserFunctions/ an improved version of ParserFunctions] to go along with it. Assuming you have server access, it would be great if you could sort this out at some point.

| Also, if you have the time could you look into making a text dump publicly available? It would be good to have a few copies spread around just in case.
