== [[OH! DANGO! JAM]] ==
This article is about a free online flash game with no English publicity (based off a Google Search), which does not fit into our [[StrategyWiki:Guide/Scope|scope]]. That is why I have deleted its previous creation earlier today (the previous creation contains a link to the site, so you might want to check it out [[Special:Undelete/OH! DANGO! JAM|here]]). I have deleted the page a '''second''' time today, and will lock it if it gets created again, unless you can come up with a reason for why it should exist. Update: just got your message, I'll keep an eye out for it (didn't feel like erasing the previous message). --{{User:Ryan Schmidt/sig}} 15:35, 25 July 2007 (CDT)
== OH! DANGO! JAM ==
Reading the Scope, I think it does fit in.
This game meets both
1. It is a game, and
6. It has playerbase comparable to a commercial game. This one also says if it meets this, things like being commercially available, or produced by a corporation do not matter.
There are thousands of players. the ranking in game only shows the top 500 players, and ranked 500 is a level 400-something character. I have never even played a person that high a level, except for NPC boss characters, and I've fought hundreds of people.
You mention that the game has no english publicity. The scope page said language doesn't matter, as long as its guide is in english.
:Yeah I agree.  Plus this game is actually really fun!  I say just let it be included and see how much info we can compile on this.  English players could really use the translation.  --[[User:Notmyhandle|Notmyhandle]] ([[User talk:Notmyhandle|talk]] <small>•</small> [[Special:Contributions/Notmyhandle|contribs]]) 22:30, 26 July 2007 (CDT)

== Your sig ==
Currently, your sig is taking up a lot of room. Therefore, I shall let you in on my secret of how I got my sig to be a template. What you need to do is put your sig in [[User:Rocky/sig]] or something comparable, and then create '''another''' page (like [[User:Rocky/sig2]] or something) and put "<nowiki>{{User:Rocky/sig}}</nowiki>" in that page. Now, in your Nickname box in preferences, put in "<nowiki>{{subst:User:Rocky/sig2}}</nowiki>" (the MediaWiki engine automatically puts SUBST: in front of it if you don't, which is why this is a two-part process). Now, whenever you sign, instead of inserting all that messy wiki code, all it puts down is <nowiki>{{User:Rocky/sig}}</nowiki>. --{{User:Ryan Schmidt/sig}} 08:28, 10 August 2007 (CDT)

Marking all pages visited in your watchlist '''is not''' the same as marking them as patrolled. Non-patrolled edits have a "!" by them in Recent Changes, unvisited edits are just bolded in your watchlist. --{{User:Ryan Schmidt/sig}} 15:10, 13 August 2007 (CDT)

== Better "Welcome" message ==
How's this?:
Hello '''Rocky'''! Thank you for your [[Special:Contributions/Rocky|contributions]], although I must admit that [[Special:Contributions/Ryan Schmidt|mine are way better than yours]]. Oh well, you'll catch up eventually (actually, you probably won't, but whatever). Anyway, if you have any questions, [[:Image:Rocky Noob 1.jpg|this link]] should answer them quite thoroughly. If you need help editing, instead of whining about, why don't you try to [[StrategyWiki:Guide|RTFM]]? As for the [[StrategyWiki:Staff lounge|staff lounge]], try looking at the first word there. It says "staff." Are you [[StrategyWiki:Administrators|staff]]? I didn't think so, so STAY OUT! If you want to voice something about the site in general, or it's community, just go to [[StrategyWiki talk:Community Portal|community issues]], but try not to as <span class="plainlinks">[http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Nobody_Cares nobody cares]</span> about your issues. Seriously, keep them to yourself. If you want to just hang out in [irc://irc.abxy.org/StrategyWiki IRC], shame on you. Try actually editing something, you slacker. Okay, now, remember to sign your name on, and '''only''' on, talk pages by clicking [[Image:Wikisigbutton.png]] or using four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>); I'll let you figure out what the squiggly lines do yourself. Finally, '''always fill in the edit summary field''', otherwise I have to do some hard work checking diffs to make sure you aren't screwing stuff up. Oh, and '''don't''' delete this message from your talk page or you will get [[Template:Banned|banninated]]. Happy editing! -- {{User:Ryan Schmidt/sig}} 17:14, 29 August 2007 (CDT)

== welcoming new users ==
Actually, Prod brought up a pretty valid point on IRC, in which that we shouldn't welcome people just for creating accounts, only when they actually edit. It would reduce the amount of space needed in the db (because, as you can see, a LOT of accounts are being created), plus the majority of those new users probably won't edit at all anyway. Therefore, just welcome them when they actually make an edit. Of course, if you believe otherwise, just come onto IRC and explain your views. --{{User:Ryan Schmidt/sig}} 12:08, 1 September 2007 (CDT)

:Yes... that was one of my worse ideas css-wise. It made my sig way too annoying, and just plain ugly to people that didn't have that css... :P Pretty much, it's best not to create your own css for your sig, as what we already have in bc.css and common.css, plus what you can set in span tags, etc., should be more than sufficient for your sig. --{{User:Ryan Schmidt/sig}} 15:00, 26 September 2007 (CDT)

== CrimsonNight ==
Yeah CN is still in beta, your userpage is a good example of the things that are missing right now.  The problem is, however, that most of those things are templates (like todo) or images that have hardcoded CSS (maybe not the images, I haven't attempted to give them black bg's yet).  What this means is we have to edit major templates like {{t|Moves List Header}} and the accompanying templates to make their color coding '''dynamic'''.  Right now, people are and have been writing templates with a white background in mind, and it doesn't work for CN at all (see {{t|Todo}} and {{t|Chrono Trigger/Boss}}).  I recommend NOT using it unless you feel like highlighting text A LOT (page histories and diff's haven't been changed yet so if you're patrolling you can't see anything).  --{{User:Notmyhandle/Sig}} 18:42, 15 October 2007 (CDT)

== Need help W/ pokemon RS ==
hey rocky, i want to know if you could separate route 104 into a north and south section, and put petalburg forest between them. they have different items, trainers and such, so it would be better for it to be put into north and south sections, to make the guide flow. thanks in advance.

== Need ur help again, Rocky... ==
Hey rocky, need your help.
I need to get some pages moved towards the back of the Pokemon RS guide.Here are my problems.
1)Routes 105 and 106 are out of position, and don't flow with the story...
2)I need to get a "Back to Route 104 (South)" page for talking to Mr Briney.
3)When i reach dewford town, do you think i should explain the gym first, or should i explain dewford cave first, instead.
Thanx in advance.
Peace Out, God Bless. [[User:Halosonic|Halosonic]] 18:03, 17 December 2007 (CST)
hmm, when i meant a "back to route 104 south" page, i meant a new page, not linking back to the original one. this one shouldnt be too detailed, just telling the ppl to go to briney's house. i dont want to explain it on rusturf tunnel.
also, dewford town... do you think we should put the gym as a separate page, since you need to pass thru dewford town to get to the page, and i think doing the cave first is a good idea, so ill do it first.
hmm... do you have this game? im wondering if i should do a run thru on mine first... but that'll have to wait till next week, im doing this off of memory, and i have my stuff i another country...but i think one of us needs to play thru the game when we do this...
anyways... ill fix up the guide pages tomorrow.
Peace out, God Bless. [[User:Halosonic|Halosonic]] 16:07, 18 December 2007 (CST)
==Master of Orion==
Hi, thanks for you comments, and for drawing my attention to [[Civilization III]] and [[People's Tactics]]. I initially produced something very like the structure you describe, but then Skizzerz came over all bureaucratic and said that's not the approved format, and jawboned someone else into re-arranging it all into 1 long page. I'm in 2 minds about making "Playable races" a separate page - yes, it's long; but no, it's part of the game overview and some of the comments in other parts of the overview refer to it (for example wherever "Tolerant", "Lithovore" and "Creative" are mentioned). All that's in the air while Skizzerz insists that TBS and RTS guides should be shoehorned into a format that was apparently designed for FPS and platform games. But if you have any other suggestions in the meantime, I'll be glad to hear about them. [[User:Philcha|Philcha]] 18:00, 12 January 2008 (CST)

== Guide rename ==
Not sure if you're going to take care of it, but remember that all the subpages also need to be renamed (not just the front page).  Then all the links and Navs need to be fixed on all the pages.  I'll take care of it tonight if you don't have the time for it. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|Talk]]) 13:54, 21 February 2008 (CST)

== Game selector thing ==
I have found a solution. In [[user:Melon247/sandbox#A Random Dogz and Catz test|my sandbox]] I have used the control selector as a game selector and put them both together (sort of). Because you told me in the chat thing that people would forget to change the game selector, but then if they will remember to change the control selecter then it's ok. The only downcast is that you have to write stuff in twice if you're doing stuff for the game selector as well. --[[User:Melon247|<font color="red">Me</font><font color="green">lon</font>]][[User_talk:Melon247|<font color="orange">2</font><font color="purple">4</font><font color="blue">7</font>]] 17:09, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
