I'm off to bed for now, so I'll get around to that tomorrow. I hope. It seems kind of tedious though - maybe Prod/Skizzerz could do it faster? I'll do it if there's no faster way though. I'll poke them about it tomorrow. --[[User:Arrow|Arrow Windwhistler]] ([[User talk:Arrow|talk]]) 06:28, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

I'd suggest putting in the original text with a link to the original version, the name of the creator and a mention of the license in the edit summary.  From there, it's open for anyone to edit without having to worry about copyrights anymore. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|Talk]]) 06:24, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Revision as of 06:24, 22 February 2009



Thank you

Hi Vizeroth. We owe you a long overdue thank you for helping us out so much with the DoubleJump categorization. I did not want you to think that your efforts have gone unnoticed. It is very comforting to know that someone has taken responsibility to be on top of that aspect of our deal. Thank you very much. Procyon (Talk) 14:01, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Star Ocean

Would it be better to redirect Star Ocean to Category:Star Ocean? I don't know if someone typing it into the search box would be looking for the first game or not. - najzere 23:22, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

No, what you do is place {{series disambig}} at the top of the page of the game. --Notmyhandle (talk contribs) 11:19, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Navs

Please don't use the Navs on user pages since it improperly categorizes them. I would suggest using something like Skizzerz has instead. -- Prod (Talk) 03:17, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

I'll take a look at it or figure out another way to do it. Removed it for now and just replaced with links so I can get around and not lose track of things (don't want to orphan my own pages ;)--Vizeroth 20:04, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Spoiler tags

I noticed you had 4 different spoiler tags on your FF IX page. If someone is following a walkthrough, there is only so many spoilers they can avoid. Trying to hide the content of the guide because it reveals plot points that they're about to find out defeats the purpose. I would suggest trying to be more ambiguous ("talk to this character for some plot development") or to move the content somewhere else. That's not to say that it isn't sometimes necessary. -- Prod (Talk) 06:16, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

No problem, I was just being overly sensitive about it, most likely, and I'll try to be more vague about anything I think may be problematic in the future. Of course, I generally don't do a lot of walkthrough stuff because it takes longer (for me anyway) than most of the other content or cleanup work.--Vizeroth 19:54, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
I know the feeling, I have very little walkthrough edits, but a lot of cleanup for essentially the same reason. -- Prod (Talk) 22:06, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Total Annihilation

Are there any pages that need to be deleted? I'm not too sure I want to go through that huge change looking for specific pages. -- Prod (Talk)

If you ever have a bunch that need deleting all at once for a specific reason, you can leave one of us sysops a message on our talk page and we might do it immediately. -- Prod (Talk) 05:56, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for telling me about the whole categories thing. I was extremely confused as to why the window kept popping up saying " please insert a category". SerpentofSet 01:59, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Categories

Nice job cleaning up those company cats :). -- Prod (Talk) 21:11, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

I would suggest not putting {{Company stub}} on most of those company pages where you copy info from WP. In nearly all cases, no more information will ever be added, and we're not trying to be the ultimate resource for gaming company information. I think the stub should only be used for pages with zero content on them. - najzere 22:57, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
No problem, I can remove it (since it puts it there when you click the Company page button).--~Vizeroth~-- 23:27, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
It's funny, because only people like you and me, who know what they're doing, are ever going to create/maintain company pages, yet the preload is geared towards the most basic user. Oh well. :) - najzere 23:29, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
It's better to have it that way, since there are plenty of people out there that are as neurotic as I am about red links on their pages, yet haven't been editing pages for a year or two to have admins tell them where they're screwing it up every once in a while. I still really wish the preview option showed the categories, too, because I still screw those up all the time. --~Vizeroth~-- 23:31, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
They do, you just have to scroll down to the very bottom of the page (past the "Save page" button). - najzere 23:38, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
Can't believe I never saw that before ;( Ah well, learn something new every day, Thanks! --~Vizeroth~-- 23:47, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Re: Numbered Headings

I have absolutely no problem with headings for organization purposes, however I have one problem with this one. Consistency. It is the main page for the game, and all other pages like it (or at least the majority) do not use headings.

If it is important enough for its own heading on the main page, then it should get its own page, such as being put under Getting Started or whichever place it fits. I didn't do it with this one because it had hardly any content anyway.

Anyhow, I won't change it back, I guess you can go ahead and do whatever you like with it, I just wanted to give my thoughts. Flagrama 04:46, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Fire Emblem

I'd suggest putting in the original text with a link to the original version, the name of the creator and a mention of the license in the edit summary. From there, it's open for anyone to edit without having to worry about copyrights anymore. -- Prod (Talk) 06:24, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
