== Staff meeting ==
== SEIWA ==


Hey Moydow.  Prod is not online, and I wanted to let someone else know that I can't make the meeting today. I'm attending a volunteer fund raiser, and I'm heading out soon.  Please extend my apologies to everyone. Thanks.  '''[[User:Procyon|<span style="color:red">Pro</span>]][[User talk:Procyon|<span style="color:grey">cyon</span>]]''' 10:15, 30 October 2010 (CDT)
Hi there, I'm KeybladeSpyMaster, editor at the ''Kingdom Hearts'' Wiki. I'm sorry if this isn't the appropriate place to dump this, but I'm not sure where else to put this. My understanding is that you have control of the SEIWA site ([http://www.seiwanetwork.org]). I was hoping you could help me in my recent efforts to revive SEIWA, following yours, Tacopill's, and Sove's opposition to disbanding it. I've made a post on the SEIWA forums (which I can't link because the images to verify against spam don't load), which includes a link to a draft I made for the new SEIWA hub. Tell me what you think! I sure hope we could ultimately revive SEIWA so that it finally becomes the vibrant and complete alliance it was originally designed to be!

:That's OK, I'll let them know. Hope to see you there next time. {{User:Moydow/Signature}} 10:24, 30 October 2010 (CDT)
::Well, Prod wasn't there either, so there was no meeting today. {{User:Moydow/Signature}} 15:52, 30 October 2010 (CDT)
Hi Moydow.  Unfortunately, this is going to be another bad month for Prod and I.  I will be travelling back to Baltimore from Dallas today, and I believe Prod is out hunting for apartments. He and I should have put our heads together and rescheduled the meetings, and in all likelihood, that is what we will do.  If you happen to be online to see who is there, feel free to gather some ideas for the next community meeting.  Hopefully we will choose a better date because I highly doubt that the last weekend in December will really be good for anybody.  Thanks!

:Yeah, I don't think Christmas Day is a good time for a meeting either. Though Prod did actually make it today, so there was something of an informal discussion. {{User:Moydow/Signature}} 20:21, 27 November 2010 (CST)


== "Image:OR Dr. Kubota.gif" has been marked for deletion... ==
:I'll respond on the forum itself. (wonders why the wiki didn't send a notification email about this) --{{User:Moydow/Signature}} 19:00, 29 October 2014 (UTC)


...as I have replaced it with the screenshot "Image:OR Dr. Kubota's Machine.png". I have also requested "Image:OR Kiwi R2.gif", "Image:OR Kiwi Base R2.gif" and "Image:OR Fire Turtle.png" to be renamed to "Image:OR Kiwi R2&7.gif", "Image:OR Kiwi Base R2&7.gif" and "Image:OR Fire Tortoise.png" respectively. You may also have noticed that I have marked [[Ordyne/Tips]] for deletion as well, on account of the fact that I had merged its content with the renamed [[Ordyne/Getting Started|Getting Started]] page yesterday.

== Thank you for the welcome! ==
Hello Moydow, thanks so much for helping me out with the box art pictures of the games. I will try to be more organized in my future edits for the box art. Again thanks for helping out and sorry for wasting your time for helping me out. -- [[User:RodKimble|RodKimble]] ([[User talk:RodKimble|talk]]) 21:06, 2 December 2014 (UTC)


Thank you very much for the welcoming you gave. This is not my first Wiki page I have worked on, as I am a Computer/LAN technician for the US Army and I have had to make several from scratch for various training networks I have built. This is however my first time creating a game guide, and the method of editing this particular site seems wonky to me. That is not a complaint about the site, just an acknowledgment that it is new to me.
== Apologies ==


I do have one question up front for you. I was reading some of the help pages, and also researching on what is normally expected here. One of the things I saw, and cannot seem to figure out how to do, is layouts for Table of contents. The example given on [[StrategyWiki:Guide/Table of contents|Table of contents]] under Common Layouts is what I am referring to. I know [[Fallout: New Vegas]] is going to require me to modify the current layout to make it more aesthetically pleasing to me (OCD here). What I am primarily questioning, is if you can point me to a couple of guides that demonstrate each of the examples given, so I can look under the hood and see how it ticks.
Hey Moydow, I just wanted to apologize real quick about the typo on RK's page, brain fart on my part. I hope you weren't offended. '''[[User:Procyon|<span style="color:red">Pro</span>]][[User talk:Procyon|<span style="color:grey">cyon</span>]]''' 15:43, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

Hey Moydow.  Thanks for making all of the modifications to this guide.  I had no idea that Nintendo decided to release the game in US on the 3DS.  So thank you very much for taking that on and updating all the pages and images.  I appreciate it.  '''[[User:Procyon|<span style="color:red">Pro</span>]][[User talk:Procyon|<span style="color:grey">cyon</span>]]''' 18:50, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

Between Procyon and Prod, I was able to figure out what I wanted to do. Just wanted to let you know.--[[User:Cypherwulfe|Cypherwulfe]] 04:20, 2 November 2010 (CDT)
Hey Moydow. Sorry for deleting that F-Zero page, it's just all F-Zero Games have these : before Like F-Zero: Maximum Velocity, F-Zero: GP Legend, and F-Zero: Climax so I just think it looks more organized that way. -- [[User:RodKimble|RodKimble]] ([[User talk:RodKimble|talk]]) 01:36, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
:That's ok. I got called out around when you posted your first message, and had no time to reply, but at least you got what you needed. Best of luck. {{User:Moydow/Signature}} 06:41, 2 November 2010 (CDT)
:Yes, but it's not a case of what looks more organised, it's a case of "F-Zero Climax doesn't have a colon in its title, therefore we don't have a colon in its title here". --{{User:Moydow/Signature}} 01:24, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

:Usually you would put a link on the talk page, as you did, or just drop it in the edit summary.

...as its content has been merged with the individual round pages. Unused redirect [[Metal Hawk/Elements]] should also be another page intended for the trash can, and I have requested that "Image:MH Jeto 1.gif", "Image:MH Jeto 2.gif", "Image:MH Eakurafuto.gif", "Image:MH Inparusu.gif", "Image:MH Jipu.gif" and "Image:MH Basu.gif" be renamed to the properly-romanized "Image:MH Jet 1.gif", "Image:MH Jet 2.gif", "Image:MH Aircraft.gif", "Image:MH Impulse.gif", "Image:MH Jeep.gif" and "Image:MH Bus.gif" respectively.

...so I felt I should inform you of the other one I created yesterday, Metal Hawk/The First Point (which redirects to [[Metal Hawk/Area H-3]]). Metal Hawk/Tips has also been marked for deletion as its content has been merged with the main [[Metal Hawk/Walkthrough|Walkthrough]] page, and I will also be marking the Metal Hawk/Strategies page for deletion once I have merged its content with the individual area pages.

== Peanut64 ==
Hi Moydow, this is a public service announcement for active admins. Our unpatrolled queue is hovering around 1500 and I am having difficulty keeping up with the queue. We need your help. If you have any spare time, I would really appreciate it if you could please take a look and see if you can patrol (thoroughly) anything. Some people take this as an invite to go to a page and click the patrolled link without doing anything - that's not what I'm asking. I need quality control. If you have any questions, please let me know. The URL I use to view the whole queue at this time is [http://strategywiki.org/w/index.php?title=Special:RecentChanges&hidepatrolled=1&days=60&limit=1800 here] (60 days old, hide patrolled, show up to 1800 edits). Many thanks, --{{User:Notmyhandle/Sig}} 20:32, 20 April 2015 (UTC)


I am the same Peanut64 on PikminFanon. [[User:Peanut64|Peanut64]]
:I'd help if I could, but at the moment I'm bogged down in college work and exams, and don't really have enough time to commit to this. I won't be finished for about 2-3 weeks. Also, congrats on the promotion. --{{User:Moydow/Signature}} 16:39, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

== Duel Destinies ==


And Sorry for the rudeness. [[User:Peanut64|Peanut64]]
When are you going to finish the editing on the walkthrough of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney- Duel Destinies? {{unsigned|Yuval}}
:No worries. I think the main reason you weren't originally added is because fanon falls considerably outside of our scope. But you're added now. {{User:Moydow/Signature}} 12:12, 27 December 2010 (CST)
:Whenever I get around to it. Leaving comments like "i did my job, now do yours" isn't going to make me do it any sooner, it just makes you sound ungrateful (particularly when your "job" consists of two images, and nothing of substance to the guide). Remember that StrategyWiki's editors only work on the guides in our spare time because we want to do them - it's not our "job" and we don't get paid for it. --{{User:Moydow/Signature}} 23:03, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
Yes, I'm sorry. I will wait. But will you finish the walkthrough before Ace Attorney 6 will come out?
By the way, I did a good job with the editing there right? {{unsigned|Yuval}}
:Since you asked for feedback, I'll be perfectly honest with you: not really.  Compare your effort to the amount of effort Moydow has made. You added two images, which I left a message on your talk page about because you didn't include the proper categories when you uploaded them, and as of right now, you still haven't.  You added a sentence that was a) unnecessary and b) grammatically incorrect.  So, no, you didn't do a good job with the editing.  Understand that this is a wiki, and no one is required to work on any particular guide at any particular pace.  People are invited to contribute as much or as little as they feel like.  And stop forgetting to sign your posts.  '''[[User:Procyon|<span style="color:red">Pro</span>]][[User talk:Procyon|<span style="color:grey">cyon</span>]]''' 16:14, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

:Uh... what kind of excuse is that?  We have several editors who are younger than you, and they do an excellent job. '''[[User:Procyon|<span style="color:red">Pro</span>]][[User talk:Procyon|<span style="color:grey">cyon</span>]]''' 19:08, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

== Mirai Ninja/Strategies and Mirai Ninja/Tips have been marked for deletion... ==
== Administration nomination ==


...as they have been merged with the [[Mirai Ninja/Walkthrough|Walkthrough]] page I have recently created. I have also marked the following images for deletion: "Image:MN Inari.gif", "Image:MN Oda Nobunaga.gif", "Image:MN Hideyoshi.gif" and "Image:MN Neko.gif" (for being replaced with "Image:MN Inari.png", "Image:MN Oda Nobunaga.png", "Image:MN Toyotomi Hideyoshi.png" and "Image:MN Nekko.png"), "Image:MN Shurazo.png" (for only being a big statue featured in the sixth stage's background), "Image:MN Kamui.gif" (for actually being the "damsel-in-distress" Princess Saki) and "Image:MN Kumo Yashiki.gif" (for only appearing in the game's ending sequence). Finally, I have requested "Image:MN Hangu Raida.gif" and "Image:MN High Samurai.gif" to be renamed to "Image:MN Han Guraida.gif" and "Image:MN Shikinami Kurosagi.gif" respectively. I'm surprised you didn't notice all of these when you deleted the unused redirect of Mirai Ninja/Elements yesterday! [[User:Namcorules|Namcorules]] 08:50, 18 January 2011 (CST)

== Dominions3 page==
== Fates stats ==


Hi, the dominions 3 wiki is horribly outdated. A lot of information is missing, and it hasn't been updated for patches in years. dom3 dot servegame dot org slash wiki has a much larger and up to date wiki. But this wiki will not allow me to update the page with a link to that wiki.
When I'm listing the stats of a boss, do you think I should include the bonuses that they may get from items or skills? I'm not sure whether or not to do so. [[User:Lukey140701|Lukey140701]] ([[User talk:Lukey140701|talk]]) 14:23, 24 July 2016 (UTC)


This really sucks, as multiplayer players now have the wrong information. And the game already has a large enough learning curve as is. Could you add a link to the uptodate wiki for me? --[[User:Soyweiser|Soyweiser]] 18:43, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
== NIWA ==
:Sorry, no can do. All of our walkthrough information should ideally be hosted here on StrategyWiki. Links to other sites containing content that is within our scope, such as the wiki you've mentioned, generally aren't allowed. Have you considered helping update our own content? {{User:Moydow/Signature}} 19:12, 25 February 2011 (UTC)


:: Well, first, it ain't walkthrough information, but more stats, guides and information that isn't in the manual. You cannot have real walkthroughs for non deterministic turn based strategy games. But that is kinda sucky. And I would rather have one up to date wiki with information. The dom3.servegame one is better in that regard as it also includes all the data from the game files. No way, I'm going to add all that information here. Unless you are willing to pay for the time spend doing it, and give access to a backend with a sql database. This one has not been updated in more than two years, the other one is still frequently updated. No use in doing the same work twice. --[[User:Soyweiser|Soyweiser]] 19:32, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

:::Soyweiser, the goal of StrategyWiki is to be one giant inclusive wiki with all the game data for every game out there possible.  It's counter to the site's goals to point to other wikis because once we do it for one game, we have to do it for all.  You could very easily copy and paste many of the pages that exist on the other wiki.  I realize that this potentially splinters the two databases, but this is how we run the site.  And everyone here works on the site on a volunteer basis, no one is paid anything.  All of the stats, guides and information about the game is welcome on this site.

According to the edit history of [[Pac-Mania/Getting Started]], he has used three more sockpuppet IPs since his second IP, [[User:76.228.225.174]] was blocked for a year in March 2010 for the offending edits; [[User: 122.52.84.223]], [[User:76.228.226.122]], and [[User:68.225.40.136]]. He obviously still has not familiarised himself with the promotional flyers, and I do not take his edits lightly given that I was the one who created the guide for the game in the first place! So if you or another admin could '''please''' block these IPs for a year or protect the page in question so that only registered users can edit it, I would be most grateful.
 
By the way, I have marked these images for deletion: "Image:FH Atom.gif", "Image:FH Dia.gif", "Image:FH Dome Cannon.gif", "Image:FH Stone Cannon.gif", "Image:FH Robot Cannon.gif", "Image:FH Raito.gif", "Image:FH Mini Cannon 1.gif", "Image:FH Mini Cannon 2.gif", "Image:FH Mini Cannon 3.gif" and "Image:FH Tank.gif" given that the enemies that are depicted in them have not actually appeared in the Japan-only game of [[Finest Hour]].
