[edit] Fighting games: move lists

See: Street Fighter Alpha. I havent had the time to check all of the character move lists, but from what I've seen the move lists on that article are duplicates. Should they be removed? I wasn't sure, as I saw a move list on a main article in the past (I can't remember which article it was though). RobJ1981 15:39, 3 April 2008 (CDT)

I'm not sure what the fighting games project initiative has come up with, but looking at that page I believe it was intended - a full movelist display, with detailed character subpages that include the movelist. From my perspective, this is very useful. From a guide perspective, it's useful as well (although duplications can be a pain to keep up to date, these should never change) because we have the summary of moves (quick reference) as well as detailed entries where people should be able to gain additional information on their preferred character(s). Noting these things, it's still possible SW will decide against the duplication. We'll see what Procyon has to say... --Notmyhandle (talk • contribs) 20:05, 3 April 2008 (CDT)

There is no duplication, it's all through transclusion. -- Prod (Talk) 20:27, 3 April 2008 (CDT)

Sorry NMH. I gave my response to Rob directly on his talk page. Procyon (Talk) 21:24, 3 April 2008 (CDT)

[edit] Extra categories on Rogue Galaxy?

I noticed there is several extra dates that shouldn't be there (unless there was something new added to articles that I don't know about). They don't appear when I go to fix it. Shouldn't it just be December 8 and 2005 for date categories, since those were the original release day and year? RobJ1981 15:28, 5 April 2008 (CDT)

See the forums — we've decided to categorise guides by all release dates now, and so they're now being automatically put in the date categories by the release date templates. There's no longer any need to manually categorise guides by any release date, so you can remove release date categories from guides as you come to them (there's no need to go around doing it specially though — they're doing no harm). --DrBob (talk) 16:45, 5 April 2008 (CDT)

[edit] Mini-game category

I brought it up on the forum in March, but only you and a few others replied. Would it be alright to create one? Something such as Mini-game collection seems fine. There is more than enough content for it, and games such as Mario Party have many genres (due to a few mini-games) for them. So it seems wrong to just label them with numerous genres. RobJ1981 13:54, 7 April 2008 (CDT)

We'll create the category, but check the forums again because I'm not sure which name to use (minigame, mini-game, or mini game). --Notmyhandle (talk • contribs) 16:19, 7 April 2008 (CDT)

I apologize NMH, I went ahead and told Rob to create Category:Party on the basis that WP listed those types of games under the Party genre. I checked Mario Party, Raving Rabbids, and Pac-Man Fever, and GF had them all listed as Party as well. If there's still a debate about this, we can always put on bot on the changes.

[edit] System question regarding compilation games

Should games part of a compilation (such as Dr. Mario that was part of a Nintendo Puzzle collection), be listed for that console? The collection was for GameCube, so should Dr. Mario be listed with GameCube or no? Another example would be all the classic games in Animal Crossing: should those be listed with a GameCube category and listed in the infobox? RobJ1981 15:31, 8 April 2008 (CDT)

[edit] Re: Thanks!

Don't congratulate me yet, dude. There're still the walkthroughs that need to be done, but hopefully I can nab some tactics from some GameFaqs guides and stuff. What's up with that guy, anyway? --Arrow Windwhistler (talk) 08:19, 9 April 2008 (CDT)

Hmm. Well, let's see if he's narcissistic enough to revert my edits. Then that'll be for some real lolz =P --Arrow Windwhistler (talk) 18:32, 9 April 2008 (CDT)

[edit] SSBB

I'd suggest putting all the multi-man brawls on the same page, unless they need more than that much space. And before splitting the page, move it somewhere and then split it so you don't lose the edit history. I'd also suggest archiving this talk page ;). -- Prod (Talk) 02:22, 16 April 2008 (CDT)

No, stadium -> Target Smash, subpage from there and don't delete it at the end. That way you can say "info from ssbb/targets" in the edit summary and not have to worry any further about attribution. -- Prod (Talk) 13:34, 16 April 2008 (CDT)

NMH, I hate to say this (and I mean I really hate to say this,) but MrSue's latest edit to SSBB about King Dedede was actually accurate. We need to rectify this, because your ban was a little rash, and his edit was in good faith. I'll leave it up to you how to handle it. Procyon (Talk) 10:29, 18 April 2008 (CDT)

[edit] External Links in Viking

Sorry for trying to help and provide links to detailed walk throughs of just skullbagger 1 for Viking. I saw no where in the TOS where it said this was disallowed.

[edit] Request

No worries, for some reason converting tables is one of my favorite cleanup tasks. Just so I don't choose the wrong thing just help clarify I understand which table is the “proper” one I’m translating the other to. My guess is you were talking about AETHER on Mythos/Crafting material drops, it looks pretty complete, but all I did was a quick skim (thus why I’m asking).

It definitely looks like if both pages had the same table layouts merging will be less troublesome. Just get back to me and I will get to it. You perfectly caught me between tweaking pages so I can easily drop that and get this done. I'm always happy to help so don't be afraid to ask for my assistance :3 --Zaiqukaj 06:38, 24 April 2008 (CDT)

I got through what I could at the moment. If I find some more spare time I will try to get the rest done. --Zaiqukaj 09:04, 24 April 2008 (CDT)

Heh, well I couldn't tell which tables needed converting so all seemed like a good guess. If you haven't already done so I'm going to get the rest of the drops converted tonight. I just hope we won't be working on the same thing at the same time. Also the separate groupings do look nicer. --Zaiqukaj 02:06, 25 April 2008 (CDT)

Update: I got through the rest except for swapping the places of the names and levels. Also I noticed that Frayed Hide has weird looking data. You can buy it but the price is n/a. Since it's one or the other you may have to fact check that one. --Zaiqukaj 03:38, 25 April 2008 (CDT)

Actually it was about the red links. Pages that don't exist but would if the guide was complete. Thanks for pointing that thing out though. I had no idea its awesomeness existed. --Zaiqukaj 10:00, 26 April 2008 (CDT)

[edit] X-Men Legends

When I have more time, I'll try to play the game and add information for it. That along with several other things (Rogue Galaxy, series stubs, stage 0/1 guides and so on) are what I plan to expand in the near future. RobJ1981 01:31, 25 April 2008 (CDT)

[edit] Bully Scholarship Edition missions.

I have one major problem with this game guide. Although some missions are missing in the 5th chapter, it's knowing which missions are optional and which missions that you need to do to continue. Can you spend some time on Bully and see which is which? Let me know if you did it. Johnnyauau2000 02:13, 30 April 2008 (CDT)

[edit] RuneScape

Zai is addicted to editing, but must also multitask. Sticking to only one task is so boring.

I played the game a bit a few years ago (vaguely before the second version came out). If my computer at home wasn't dying I would probably pick it up again (it makes the computer freeze). My friend is trying to get me to play Maple Story once a new PC is purchased. I have only been able to play on other people's computers so my poor mage still hasn't reached level 30. T_T Perhaps once I have a new PC then IRC will work on it (been dying to chat with you people).

A big reason I am doing the crazy amount of editing is because of doing spelling sweeps (I really enjoy doing those for some reason). Every time a RuneScape page would pop up it would be the most useless microscopic piece of drivel (that was also not linked to anything). The only thing as annoying as that is the overly huge class pages for MapleStory (all content is in a different order and format + 1st person jibberjabber). Zai is stabbing those guides with grammar a little at a time. Once RuneScape looks snazzy then I'm going to slowly make the formatting on the MapleStory character pages match each other. Much proof reading and re-writing of content is ahead of me.

I'm is playing a lot of Monster Hunter Freedom and Pokémon Pearl/Emerald lately. --Zaiqukaj 07:42, 2 May 2008 (CDT)

[edit] RE: source

No I don't mean to use it as a source that would be listed in articles. It would just be a resource to help people out. If people need instructions for a guide, then they can use that site. I was asking if there a general Strategy Wiki page that shows links that are useful when making guide pages. Then perhaps the site could be listed there so everyone knew it for future reference.

[edit] RE: Job Queue

Where do I find it? I looked a little and didn't see it. RobJ1981 01:44, 5 May 2008 (CDT)

Thanks. What's the IRC link for Strategy Wiki? I'm registered on the regular IRC, but not the abxy one yet. I havent had time to sign up yet or anything. I wanted to do that now, when I have a little time. RobJ1981 02:04, 5 May 2008 (CDT)

I'm not sure. I think java based would be fine. I would prefer something where I don't need to download anything (as well as free). I use regular IRC (for Wikipedia and Wikia rooms) with no download and it works well. What's the exact link I need to go to? irc://irc.abxy.org/strategywiki was listed on my user talk (when I first came here), but I tried that and it says cannot find server. I mentioned this to someone I believe, but I forgot where. It's late, and I don't want to search through pages to find it. RobJ1981 02:35, 5 May 2008 (CDT)

Okay, I found: http://irc.abxy.org/ (which seems to work), however it's telling my to have a name and password. I'm not registered, and it doesn't give me the option to? I just see a box for nickname and password (plus smileys on or off, as well as advanced settings). Advanced does nothing (that I can tell), and the smileys is for the chat... so that's not helpful. RobJ1981 02:44, 5 May 2008 (CDT)

I'm in IRC now, let me know if you join (if I don't notice you in the chat). I'm not paying attention to the window much. RobJ1981 00:38, 6 May 2008 (CDT)

[edit] Requested guides removal

The dude requested guides that already existed on the site. What's the point of adding requests for guides that are already present? Procyon (Talk) 23:26, 15 May 2008 (CDT)

[edit] IRC

What's going on with Abxy? Is something screwed? I can't connect to it via Mibbit anymore. I never dropped by since my comp came down with a virus and killed my Mozilla connections...and stuff. Argh. Frustrating. --Arrow Windwhistler (talk) 08:26, 24 June 2008 (CDT)

That's really weird...and it sucks. Ah well, hopefully ChatZilla will have better luck than Mibbit. --Arrow Windwhistler (talk) 07:52, 25 June 2008 (CDT)

[edit] Kirby Air Ride

An archive? Gah, now I need to go figure out how to do that. Hey, what sort of layout should the checklist have? I have unlocked a lot of them too. Perhaps a table of links to the descriptions. I bet anyone wanting to know what a specific one is will only know about where the box they want is in the grid and not what it's about. --Zaiqukaj 06:49, 28 June 2008 (CDT)

[edit] Re: StarCraft Spacing

Thanks for the tip, I'll start doing that. By the way, how many different sections have to be present on a page for the table of contents to show up? Baejung92 22:08, 29 June 2008 (CDT)

[edit] MPH

Reading through the comments in the featured guide nomination, you said that the guide has been blogged about? Lunar Knight ^{(Talk to me + Contribs)} 17:31, 8 July 2008 (CDT)

That makes me feel so proud. :-D Lunar Knight ^{(Talk to me + Contribs)} 17:49, 8 July 2008 (CDT)
