==File type update==
A new file type has appeared: |type=flyer. You might want to use that instead of artwork for flyers. There has also been a posters type for larger-than-flyer size promotional materials. [[User:Trig Jegman|Trig]] - 05:16, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

== New Move list format ==
Could you please do the achievements and trophies page for this game whenever you have the chance? -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|talk]]) 01:27, 13 May 2023 (UTC)


I'm trying to switch the move lists to use an easier format for arranging the pages which reduces the amount of transcluding pages in multiple places.  Please create all the move lists on the /Moves page, and then transclude to Character pages from there.  This avoids all the hidden character specific pages that appear everywhere, and all pages can be linked from the Table of Contents. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|talk]]) 23:12, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
== ToC logos ==


:How do you transclude from a /Moves page? I saw there was a Movelist template but I couldn't figure it out. -[[User:BrownDerby|BrownDerby]] ([[User talk:BrownDerby|talk]]) 23:36, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
When there's flexibility in the location of the logo, please try to put it further to the right. This way it's near the end on mobile so there's less scrolling for users. Also, it might be good to include alt text of mentioning it's a logo. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|talk]]) 20:08, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
::I've done all the updates to [[SNK Gals Fighters]]. It's easiest when there's only one game in the "series". When you have multiple games it gets complicated. I've got a to-do list for all the old games in the previous format that i'm slowly working through, so I'll take care of all of those.  I just want to direct you for new guides, as you seem to be on a roll :). -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|talk]]) 23:49, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
:I just realized that putting the logos in the ToC is replacing all the PageImages for each page in the guide with the logos. These are the images which show up when you post the link on social media. You can check this by clicking the ''Page information'' link in the sidebar. For guides which don't have many images, this is really helpful, since otherwise it would just be the site logo. But, I'm not sure how good it is for some of our better illustrated guides. There's a way to tell the parser not to consider certain images for the PageImage, so we don't have to remove any of the logos, but I have to think a bit if that's the right change or not. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|talk]]) 02:38, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
:::I'm glad to see you getting into the wiki editing so well, and merging the [[Samurai Shodown 2]] guide.  Unfortunately, when merging guides, we have to be careful to make sure all editors are still attributed based on the license we follows (see my recent edits).  For now I'd suggest that if you're adding to an existing guide, follow whatever standard is already used, and let me take care of the format migration. However, if this is a task that interests you, come on [https://discord.gg/pYghWh3 Discord] and I can show you a few ways to maybe make the process easier. This series of games is actually a few entries down my list since it has almost 150 pages to update. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|talk]]) 05:05, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
::Maybe you could use [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:PageImages#Can_I_exclude_certain_page_images? class=notpageimage] on the ones where the guide already has a lot of pictures. -[[User:BrownDerby|BrownDerby]] ([[User talk:BrownDerby|talk]]) 03:00, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
:::A few considerations:
:::* The logo seems to override the box artwork even for small guides. We could use WikiSEO to override the image on the main page instead.
:::* If we make it a judgment call on whether to include notpageimage, we'd have to watch for when it becomes a "big enough" guide.
::: I want to see if there's something we can do at the template or server level to give us more flexibility with which image is selected. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|talk]]) 03:22, 8 August 2023 (UTC)


== Character pages ==
== {{c|Uncharted}} ==


The Street Fighter games have a lot of back story spanning multiple games, so individual character pages make more sense there. Some of these other games probably don't have as much content for each character, so it may be easier to just have one /Characters page which lists all the characters stories together. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|talk]]) 17:59, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
A user has added trophies and achievements to some of the compilations in this series. Could you please review if it's done properly? I'm not sure if those trophy pages should be on the compilations or the individual guides. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|talk]]) 01:01, 25 July 2023 (UTC)


== Thank you ==
:I think for "Nathan Drake Collection" those should be moved to the individual trophy pages since they are listed as separate games on PSN, but the other one is fine as-is. -[[User:BrownDerby|BrownDerby]] ([[User talk:BrownDerby|talk]]) 04:25, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
::The user already added them to the individual guides. Is there anything else that would need to be moved over or can we just remove it from the collection page? -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|talk]]) 22:20, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
:::The Collection trophies are different from the original PS3 ones, so those would have to be moved over, then removed from the collection page. -[[User:BrownDerby|BrownDerby]] ([[User talk:BrownDerby|talk]]) 22:36, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
::::I just can't get around to working on these. I'm just going to leave it. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|talk]]) 02:14, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

Hey, I just wanted to thank you for making the remaining Battle Arena Toshinden pages! I'm very new here so I'm still learning how StrategyWiki works so that really helped speed up the process! Could I ask you to also make a page for the GameBoy port of Battle Arena Toshinden 1? This port has a lot of changes from both the PS1 and SAT versions of the game so it might need its own page. No worries if not though, but thank you again for making all of the pages! -[[User:LansingWolverine|LansingWolverine]] ([[User talk:LansingWolverine|talk]]) 21:30, 6 September 2023 (UTC)


I saw you had some other changes to make. I'm regularly on [https://discord.gg/pYghWh3 discord] if you need more help with anything. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|talk]]) 16:51, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
EDIT: Thank you for added the GB page like I asked and also re-creating the original game's character select as an
easy means of navigating the characters! Your contributions have made the Toshinden pages look really professional
and organized and your edits have really helped me figure out how to better format things! -[[User:LansingWolverine|LansingWolverine]] ([[User talk:LansingWolverine|talk]]) 05:39, 13 September 2023 (UTC)


== Walkthrough vs Getting Started pages ==
== Momotaro ==


Before you power through too many guides, I've actually been thinking of switching the way we handle the GS/Walkthrough pages. How to Play to me sounds like it would fit fine under "Getting Started". Where as walkthrough is supposed to cover any story mode. I haven't really gotten anywhere discussing with the other Move Lists editors, but was wondering what you thought. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|talk]]) 20:28, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
Wondering if you have an opinion on this. We have a weird mix of Momotaro and Momotarou for this series and its sub-series.
Wikipedia goes with [[wikipedia:Momotaro Dentetsu]] and [[wikipedia:Momotaro Densetsu]], but I think going by our policies, it should be Momotarou. Any thoughts?


:The story mode in these games is usually just fight some random characters and then the boss, so you don't really need a walkthrough for them. But on every page of every game there are the walkthrough links, so I think it's fine to put the "how to play" stuff there. -[[User:BrownDerby|BrownDerby]] ([[User talk:BrownDerby|talk]]) 22:30, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
* {{t|Momotaro Densetsu}}
::Even the "How to Play" stuff is pretty basic, so really just having the Moves list linked via the Custom Nav seems like the main benefit. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|talk]]) 00:02, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
* {{t|Momotaro Dentetsu}}
::Also, the ToC in the sidebar has the "How To Play" link right at the top, so what's in the header doesn't really matter. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|talk]]) 16:18, 18 January 2020 (UTC)


:::I just think it's fine how it is now. I don't see the benefit of changing it, and then all these games would have no walkthrough. -[[User:BrownDerby|BrownDerby]] ([[User talk:BrownDerby|talk]]) 18:10, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
* [[:Category:Momotaro Densetsu]]
I've posted [[StrategyWiki talk:Move lists project#Fighting game layout|here]] to get some feedback from more people. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|talk]]) 14:57, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
