StrategyWiki talk:Cleanup project

Dark And Light
I was planning to do this using my bot once I'd finished writing the next version (lots of cool new features :-D ), but as you've done it it looks like I won't have to. :-P I'd leave the redirect pages, as they're too much work to get rid of, and aren't causing any harm. Once I've got the next version of my bot finished, I might make it look for pointless redirects and delete them. :-) --DrBob (Talk) 10:03, 25 July 2006 (CDT)
 * Ah, I didn't realize you were going to have a bot do it :). Guess I just saved you a little bit of trouble then.  Oh well, didn't hurt me any to do it.-- Duke  Ruckley  10:20, 25 July 2006 (CDT)

GFDL Articles Template
I've deleted all cases of it being included in an article. It's page is still linked by two StrategyWiki pages so I'm not sure what to do about deleting it.  Chaote  Imagicka


 * It doesn't matter. The links will now be red, and that's fine. I've deleted the template; thanks again for the time you've put into it. :-) --DrBob (Talk) 16:30, 28 August 2006 (CDT)

How to Merge histories
What are the steps needed to merge histories? -- Prod (Talk) 10:23, 21 October 2006 (CDT)

Merging the "new new FFI book"
I've been looking over the FFI pages, and I don't really see a lot of things that need to be merged. Most of the entries either contain information already in the guide, or are too encyclopedic for our purposes (example). These entries would be better off at the Final Fantasy Wiki. The list of characters that can equip the stuff would be useful, and I intend to put such information in, however it would talk longer to pull the info from each page, figure out the corresponding item, reformat it, than it would to just get the information from the game disc. As such, it might be easiest for us if these types of pages were just deleted without merging. The Locations and Status Effects pages are great since those sections need to be added to Final Fantasy/Walkthrough. I'll go through them all this week when I have time and figure out which pages need to be added into the Final Fantasy strategy guide.

That said, for the information that is useful for our purposes of a strategy guide, is merging these something I can do by cutting and pasting, or something an admin needs to do? Koweja 16:27, 3 December 2006 (CST)

Renaming FF2 images
Is it possible to have a bot do this, or will we have to do this ourselves? It would involve downloading each picture and then re-uploading them all with the correct name and categories. Then we would have to go through and rename all of the images in the FF4 guide. So if there is any way to make this less tedious, that would be awesome. Otherwise I'll get started on it sometime in the near future.-- Duke Ruckley  11:51, 28 March 2007 (CDT)
 * My bot's MIA at the moment, but assuming all the images to be renamed are in a single category (which, from memory, I think they are), it should be perfectly possible for a bot to do this. --DrBob (Talk) 12:07, 28 March 2007 (CDT)
 * I believe they are. In that case, I'll just leave it alone.-- Duke  Ruckley  12:09, 28 March 2007 (CDT)
 * I'm going to start this task today, I'll be done in about 2 days.--Rocky http://media.strategywiki.org/images/thumb/7/78/Rally-X_Rock.png/25px-Rally-X_Rock.png (Talk - Contributions) 06:35, 10 April 2007 (CDT)
 * Can you have a bot do the.png's if there are and, IE6 can't cope with them.--Rocky http://media.strategywiki.org/images/thumb/7/78/Rally-X_Rock.png/25px-Rally-X_Rock.png (Talk - Contributions) 06:36, 10 April 2007 (CDT)
 * I'm doing the pics in page order so I don't mess up anything, I think the first ones I did were spirits and they're done now.--Rocky http://media.strategywiki.org/images/thumb/7/78/Rally-X_Rock.png/25px-Rally-X_Rock.png (Talk - Contributions) 06:53, 10 April 2007 (CDT)

Images Needing Renaming
I've done this now, can a few people help me mark the unmarked images in the file list with rename so I know where they all are so can rename them as well, (A few links are in my to do section). At the moment I haven't got my FireFox PC out so I can't do the .png's but I'll start renaming my marked images now (any help with finding wrongly named images wll be greatly appreciated).

Transparency
Does anyone think that it'd be a good idea to have a category for pictures that need transparency, after a lot of the work I've done renaming, there were quite a few that should have transparency, does anyone think that this is a good idea?Rocky http://media.strategywiki.org/images/thumb/7/78/Rally-X_Rock.png/25px-Rally-X_Rock.png (Talk - Contributions) 10:52, 3 May 2007 (CDT)
 * I actually think that's a really great idea. However, the task should not be taken on by people who are going to do a crappy job (i.e. messy looking borders).  --Notmyhandle (talk • contribs) 16:52, 3 May 2007 (CDT)
 * What do you mean messy looking boarders, can you show me an example because I was thinking about just adding transparency without any borders (e.g on something like this image, it's not transparent in firefox or IE). I'm happy to add boarders though. Anyway people on this project don't do a crappy job (I hope :P)--Rocky http://media.strategywiki.org/images/thumb/7/78/Rally-X_Rock.png/25px-Rally-X_Rock.png (Talk - Contributions) 14:23, 5 May 2007 (CDT)
