Mass moving
Can your bot do moves/renames too? Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire needs to be moved to Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald (discussed here). You can find the full page list at Special:Prefixindex/Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire. Thanks. GarrettTalk 19:14, 5 February 2007 (CST)
Help required
I'm not very good at this, am I? Anyway... I tried to add a new page to the Sonic Adventure guide, under the non-existent page called "Egg Hornet", but I failed to notice I was actually creating a new page for "Common bosses" and not just the hornet itself. I don't know how it happened exactly, as I did nothing fancy and are 100% sure I clicked on the right blank page, but now I have no idea how to shift the page to the correct location and get the empty common bosses page back... I have my ideas, but they may not work. Help? --Supremesonic 14:19, 6 February 2007 (CST)
- All those boss fight articles are being put into just one article. The link you followed was to the common article for all the boss fights. For now it has just yours, but soon will have the rest. I edited it to show this. -- Mason11987 (Talk - Contributions) 23:02, 7 February 2007 (CST)
Downtime
The truth is we're getting hit by a lot of traffic, all coming from *get ready* Yahoo. My guess is there wasn't enough memory to process all of the requests, and the server decided to rely on swap space ad infinitum. It could be a hack or otherwise malicious/purpousful activity, but I have yet to call that until I've investigated the server logs.--Dan 18:53, 8 February 2007 (CST)
- I've checked the logs and it appears we've received mostly legitimate traffic, aside from the search engine bots and such. I suspect ABXY was the cause of the server to drown in it's own blood, so I've disabled it until I can get a good talking going on with echelon about what we can do to fix this supposed bug that's causing the server to use almost all it's memory constantly.--Dan 20:43, 8 February 2007 (CST)
Potential significant change, could use input and later assistance.
I started a discussion on making a pretty substantial change to Template:Tl and I thought I'd let you know about the discussion in case you were interested or wanted to help with the change if it was supported. link. Oh, and if you know someone who would want to help out/discuss this who's talk page I didn't leave it on, if you could let them know, that'd be useful, thanks. -- Mason11987 (Talk - Contributions) 09:00, 16 February 2007 (CST)

Table of Contents on walkthrough page
If you're wondering why I stuck the Table of Contents on Pokémon Gold, Silver and Crystal's walkthrough page, I did it because the walkthrough page is going to be the entry page for many readers who search for "pokémon gold walkthrough", "pokemon silver walkthrough", etc. and find the walkthrough page before they would find the main page because the walkthrough page is the most search-engine friendly page in the guide. It would be rather vague and unwelcoming as a starting page for new visitors since it doesn't better hint where the rest of the guide's pages are, which is what it's doing now. We would scare away new readers, basically. Remember, new readers will be more likely to see this page and not know that the AGN has an expandable Table of Contents, which is probably what they're looking for in the first place. The visitors want the information right when they get it, as they probably wouldn't bother with digging through the page to find the Table of Contents.--Dan 11:41, 18 February 2007 (CST)
- Heh, suppose not. I don't know why, but for a second I believed I saw the walkthrough page being displayed when I googled Mario Kart DS walkthrough. Either way, if that isn't the case or is, I suppose our main guide's way of having a walkthrough works for most games. As long as there is some sort of traditional link to the Table of Contents - other than the collapsing AGN ToC - that's fine by me.--Dan 12:04, 18 February 2007 (CST)
