:::Yes, I'm talking about the {{t|Series Nav}} that goes at the bottom of the page. As for the table, we have to figure out how to address the different titles from different regions and also how to differentiate games from different times that have the same names. The list just came from a quick search I did, if there are alternate names for European or US releases, go ahead and add them. How do you feel about having one name for each game (maybe the first one released) and then redirecting other names to it? - [[User:Najzere|'''naj''']][[User_talk:Najzere|<font color="green">zere</font>]] 17:38, 15 December 2008 (UTC) | :::Yes, I'm talking about the {{t|Series Nav}} that goes at the bottom of the page.

Reading the [[wp:Petz|WikiPedia page]], it says that from 2006 on the Petz games took a different direction and should be considered a different series. Maybe we should have two series, one for the computer games and one for the console games that have come out since 2006. We could have '''Petz (PC)''' or '''Petz (Windows)''' for the old version and just '''Petz''' for the newer one. I think we'll get more traffic for the newer ones and there are already more games for that series. - [[User:Najzere|'''naj''']][[User_talk:Najzere|<font color="green">zere</font>]] 17:45, 15 December 2008 (UTC) | |||

Revision as of 17:45, 15 December 2008
This page will probably be a stub forever, because everyone keeps creating sub categories for it (for Hansterz or Dogz or whatever) which only have two games in them. So there's only going to be the Catz 2 and Dogz 2 in this page anyway. I'm not saying we should delete it, I'm just totally confused. --Melon247, The Dog's Life Expert 16:00, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
Bunnyz
I haven't actually got this game, but from what I've read on other websites it's pretty much the same as Hamsterz, but with rabbits. Is there any point in me creating this page, or shall I see if I get it for christmas and find out if it is the same and if it is merge the two pages together? --Melon247, The Dog's Life Expert 18:19, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
One series but not another
How come some of the games (take Hamsterz 2 for example) are just in their subcategory, and not in the Petz category? Because they are all in the Petz series, and in the US Hamsterz 2 is called Petz: Hamsterz 2 and so it should be in Petz and Hamsterz, because it is in both serieses (if that's a word). --Melon247, The Dog's Life Expert 12:49, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
- Hmm, it seems the pages that are not here are missing the category. Looks like the top section is specific categories within the petz series and the bottom section is actual games that have the Petz category on their main page (or are the series in tehir infobox since that does the same thing). I'm going to go fix these so the categories on each of the existing petz related pages match.
- This sounds more fun than a spelling sweep. You should take a look at what changes or gets moved in the diffirences part of the recent changes page after it's fixed (it's a really little mix-up, the guides all look to be growing solidly). Thats how I learned how to do things here. --Zaiqukaj 13:17, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
Mini-project
There was a discussion a little while ago about how confusing the Petz series really is. I'd like to propose we have a mini-collaboration real quick for the following:
- Determine naming conventions, etc. for the Petz games on this site
- Create at least a main page for each Petz game (main pages should include a note at the top to help users find the game they are looking for, if they are on the wrong one).
- Organize the Petz categories and maybe create a few disambiguation pages if needed (this can be discussed)
I'd like the input of those of you who have been working on the Petz games, as you seem to be the most knowledgable. Is everyone up for this?--DukeRuckleyTalk | Contribs 15:44, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
- Sounds good. I can work on a Petz series template we can use on all the front pages. I've never played a Petz game, but Melon knows all about them, and I don't mind trying to implement whatever she comes up with. - najzere 15:52, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
- I guess I'll go along with it. Are the things we're talking about like the little box at the bottom of The Sims 2? And also, am I supposed to be editing the table down there because I think that, if all the ones with one title are American names, the EU names are different (such as Petz Dogz Fashion is called Fashion Dogz). --Melon247, The Dog's Life Expert 17:30, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, I'm talking about the {{Series Nav}} that goes at the bottom of the page. As for the table, we have to figure out how to address the different titles from different regions and also how to differentiate games from different times that have the same names. The list just came from a quick search I did, if there are alternate names for European or US releases, go ahead and add them.
