== Thank you ==
== Marvel subcats ==


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. [[User:Procyon|Procyon]] ([[User talk:Procyon|Talk]]) 14:01, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
If you're working on the cat, http://strategywiki.org/w/index.php?title=Marvel:_Ultimate_Alliance&diff=388621&oldid=388615. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|Talk]]) 02:14, 5 May 2009 (UTC)


== Star Ocean ==
:In that case you'd just delete the Marvel cat from the Marvel: Ultimate Alliance titles, since it currently contains 6 games from 2 different series. Ideally {{c|X-Men Legends}} and {{c|Marvel: Ultimate Alliance}} would be the same series, but they didn't leave us a solid tie in the titles to link the two series. Either way, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance doesn't belong in the Marvel vs. Capcom series, they're not the same type of game, and they only count as spin-offs in the sense that Marvel is the owner of the IP, which opens up bringing back all of the titles you removed from the category to begin with, and removes the need for the series template.--{{User:Vizeroth/Signature}} 02:23, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
::[[:Category:System Shock]] seems relevant.  I've put them back in Marvel till we have a better place to put them. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|Talk]]) 06:45, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
:::In that case they'd go in {{c|X-Men Legends}}. Putting them in Marvel is still just as bad as all of the other games you already removed from the category.--{{User:Vizeroth/Signature}} 19:51, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
::::If you think it's valid, it sounds good to me. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|Talk]]) 04:56, 6 May 2009 (UTC)


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. - [[User:Najzere|'''naj''']][[User_talk:Najzere|<font color="green">zere</font>]] 23:22, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
== Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor ==


:No, what you do is place {{t|series disambig}} at the top of the page of the game. --{{User:Notmyhandle/Sig}} 11:19, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
Hi, I just wanted to say thank you for contributing for the Devil Survivor guide. And also for cleaning up, correcting and expanding my strategies! :) --[[User:Calystegia|Calystegia]] 10:56, 10 August 2009 (UTC)


== Navs ==
== Re: Little King's Story/DoubleJump template ==


Please don't use the Navs on user pages since it improperly categorizes them.  I would suggest using something like [[User:Ryan_Schmidt/UserNav|Skizzerz]] has instead. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|Talk]]) 03:17, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
Was the template not working properly or did someone fix the problems with the single quote in the template? (Check the history, I added the game support when the guide came out ;p ) --{{User:Vizeroth/Signature}} 00:28, 17 August 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 ;)--[[User:Vizeroth|Vizeroth]] 20:04, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
:Oops, I didn't even look to see if it had already been added! I also didn't realise proper quotes don't work for this template, that's very strange. [[User:Garrett|Garrett]]<sup>[[User talk:Garrett|Talk]]</sup> 01:06, 17 August 2009 (UTC)


== Spoiler tags ==
== MagnaCarta II ==


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. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|Talk]]) 06:16, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
Dang, whoever drew that official artwork was having some fun. (They like some pretty big legs too, <_<;;). Anyway, is [http://i30.tinypic.com/ve20ll.jpg this] official box art? — [[User:Najzere|<span style="color:#909090">najzere</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Najzere|<span style="color:#993300">T</span>]]</sup> 22:34, 26 August 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.--[[User:Vizeroth|Vizeroth]] 19:54, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
:There are three different box images floating around, Namco's website shows a black image with the title and not much else. I don't think any of them are final. Look up the series and google the art designer's stuff, he's generally pretty good for selling games to teenagers, but none of the games have turned out too well so far. --{{User:Vizeroth/Signature}} 22:37, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
::I know the feeling, I have very little walkthrough edits, but a lot of cleanup for essentially the same reason. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk: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. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|Talk]])
For the TA game where some of the level names overlap, is there a game specific reason they're [[Total Annihilation/Core-Rougpelt|prefixed]] rather than disambiguated (using brackets)?  If not, I'd like to switch them over. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|Talk]]) 05:12, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
: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. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk: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".

== Categories ==
 
Nice job cleaning up those company cats :). -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|Talk]]) 21:11, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
:I would suggest not putting {{t|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. - [[User:Najzere|'''naj''']][[User_talk:Najzere|<font color="green">zere</font>]] 22:57, 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.

== Re: Numbered Headings ==
 
I have absolutely no problem with headings for organization purposes, however I have one problem with [[Yoshi Touch &amp; Go|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. [[User:Flagrama|Flagrama]] 04:46, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
 
== Re: DMC4 ==
 
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.

==Disgaea 2 ToC Reorganization==
A few months ago, you decided to "rearrange" [http://strategywiki.org/w/index.php?title=Disgaea_2:_Cursed_Memories/Table_of_Contents&diff=prev&oldid=438072 Disgaea 2's table of contents] and "rename" the various pages within.  That's fine, but if you're going to do such a thing, correct all the internal links that link to the corresponding pages (if you don't know, you can find out the sum of these internal links by clicking on "what links here").  Now the guide has a ''ton'' of dead internal links which link to Special Characters instead of Special characters, and so on.

When subpaging a major content page, try to move the source page somewhere permanent so the edit histories stay intact, and then point back to where the content was from in the subpaged edit histories.  I moved [[Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War/Units]] to [[Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War/Space Marines]] for this purpose. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|Talk]]) 05:23, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

Marvel subcats[edit]

If you're working on the cat, http://strategywiki.org/w/index.php?title=Marvel:_Ultimate_Alliance&diff=388621&oldid=388615. -- Prod (Talk) 02:14, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

In that case you'd just delete the Marvel cat from the Marvel: Ultimate Alliance titles, since it currently contains 6 games from 2 different series. Ideally X-Men Legends and Marvel: Ultimate Alliance would be the same series, but they didn't leave us a solid tie in the titles to link the two series. Either way, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance doesn't belong in the Marvel vs. Capcom series, they're not the same type of game, and they only count as spin-offs in the sense that Marvel is the owner of the IP, which opens up bringing back all of the titles you removed from the category to begin with, and removes the need for the series template.--~Vizeroth · (c)~-- 02:23, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
Category:System Shock seems relevant. I've put them back in Marvel till we have a better place to put them. -- Prod (Talk) 06:45, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
In that case they'd go in X-Men Legends. Putting them in Marvel is still just as bad as all of the other games you already removed from the category.--~Vizeroth · (c)~-- 19:51, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

There are three different box images floating around, Namco's website shows a black image with the title and not much else. I don't think any of them are final. Look up the series and google the art designer's stuff, he's generally pretty good for selling games to teenagers, but none of the games have turned out too well so far. --~Vizeroth · (c)~-- 22:37, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

For the TA game where some of the level names overlap, is there a game specific reason they're prefixed rather than disambiguated (using brackets)? If not, I'd like to switch them over. -- Prod (Talk) 05:12, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
