== | == Fight Night Round 4 achievements == | ||
The achievements and trophies for the game use different images and the Xbox 360 version has more achievements – wouldn't it be easier for a PlayStation 3 user to see his trophies in a separate table instead of mixed in with 360 ones and the wrong images on some of the PS3 ones? Also, the PS3 version images are now orphaned. — [[User:Najzere|<span style="color:#909090">najzere</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Najzere|<span style="color:#993300">T</span>]]</sup> 23:39, 3 January 2010 (UTC) | |||
== | == Achievement tables == | ||
I've been including a <tt>nowrap</tt> parameter in the table cell with the platinum trophy to prevent link breaks within the column, but the same issue is present with the gamerscore column as well. I think it would be a good idea to set the width on the gamerscore and trophy columns in the {{t|Achievements Header}} template to accommodate a three digit gamerscore and a platinum trophy, respectively. What do you think? — [[User:Najzere|<span style="color:#909090">najzere</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Najzere|<span style="color:#993300">T</span>]]</sup> | |||

== | == [[Virtual Villagers 3: The Secret City]] == | ||
Hi | Hi there, | ||
I just saw you modified my Banner for my [[Virtual Villagers 3: The Secret City]] guide. I want to know is this a strategy wiki norm or it's because my banner was too big? The problem is that it's pretty small on my screen resolution. Is there a way to make it bigger but still center ? | |||
thank you very much | |||
[[User:DJ K-Jtan|DJ K-Jtan]] 20:42, 17 January 2010 (UTC) | |||
: The problem is that at the banner's original width it caused the page contents to be shunted below the infobox on lower screen resolutions (like this). It is for this reason that we try to keep banner widths on the main page within reasonable limits (which is why {{t|marquee}} was created). Not all images look good at this lower size, but the alternative is even worse. This is less of an issue for subpages because there are no infoboxes there to shove images out of the way. --Garrett (talk) 22:37, 17 January 2010 (UTC) | |||
:: Thank you for your reply. I understand why I need to shrink the width size. What is a good width size for an image? [[User:DJ K-Jtan|DJ K-Jtan]] 22:50, 17 January 2010 (UTC) | |||
==BS Zelda: Kodai no Sekiban/Printable version deletion== | |||
Hi, I've marked [[BS Zelda: Kodai no Sekiban/Printable version]] for deletion and see you are the main contributor. Is this page necessary for any reason, or is it a holdover from Wikibooks or an earlier era of StrategyWiki? Just wanted to give you a heads up.

== | == DLC question == | ||
I was under the impression DLC just went on the main guide. Is it based on how big they are? For instance, I would have added the DLC achievements and trophies for GTAIV to the GTAIV achievements and trophies page like we've done for other ones. Just wondering if there was a standard or if we take them on a case by case basis. Thanks, — [[User:Najzere|<span style="color:#909090">najzere</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Najzere|<span style="color:#993300">T</span>]]</sup> 21:01, 29 January 2010 (UTC) | |||
:According to [[WP:Grand_Theft_Auto_IV:_The_Lost_and_Damned|wikipedia]] it appears to be an expansion, not a DLC. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|Talk]]) 21:06, 29 January 2010 (UTC) | |||
::The GTAIV episodes are major DLC, comparable to a PC expansion. They are even sold separately from the main game (as [[Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City]]). The Oblivion expansions are listed separately too (they are DLC for the consoles but retail for the PC). --[[User:Garrett|Garrett]] ([[User talk:Garrett|talk]]) 21:10, 29 January 2010 (UTC) | |||
:::What's the differentiation between a ''major'' DLC and a regular one (is there a label as such somewhere)? -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|Talk]]) 21:21, 29 January 2010 (UTC) | |||
::::Um, er, not really. "DLC" is a catch-all term for everything from Horse Armor to an entirely new game chapter. Figuring this out is a case-by-case deal for sure. As a general rule, if it's the sort of thing that on the PC would have traditionally been sold in stores it's expansion-level DLC; similarly, if the PC gets it as a retail expansion but the consoles just get it as DLC it counts as an expansion. --[[User:Garrett|Garrett]] ([[User talk:Garrett|talk]]) 22:57, 29 January 2010 (UTC) | |||

== | == ME2 Vehicle == | ||
I don't | I noticed you added in controls for a vehicle on [[Mass Effect 2]]. I'm almost to the end of the game now and I've yet to encounter a pilotable vehicle anywhere (though I know there is the Hammerhead, I don't believe it's out yet). Where do you encounter a controllable vehicle in the game? If I can find it, I can figure out its controls and add them. — [[User:TheTwan|TheTwan]]<sub>[[User talk:TheTwan|talk]]</sub> 21:49, 29 January 2010 (UTC) | ||
:There are no usable vehicles in the base game, so these will be for the Hammerhead DLC. They were listed in the PC version's control customisation section. The Xbox vehicle controls are logical guesses based on other control similarities and may not be correct. --[[User:Garrett|Garrett]] ([[User talk:Garrett|talk]]) 22:37, 29 January 2010 (UTC) | |||

== | == Achievements Header double image column == | ||
Hi, I had an idea about games with very different achievement and trophy images (instead of just a couple): [[Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection#Achievements and trophies]]. This could be handled fairly easily in the template by switching out the cell width with an optional parameter. I like this layout a little better than floating the alt. images in the description cell, because they belong in the "picture" column and this way you don't have to decide which system's images get the main placement. I also like it better than a completely separate table as it avoids redundancy and page length. Let me know what you think. :) — [[User:Najzere|<span style="color:#909090">najzere</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Najzere|<span style="color:#993300">T</span>]]</sup> 16:38, 23 April 2010 (UTC) | |||

Hey, I see you were moving the Sega Smash Pack guides around and fixing categories, and [[:File:Sega Smash Pack GBA box.jpg|this image]] was left with the ''Sega Smash Pack'' image category, although it's not on that guide page. The old category (''Sega Smash Pack (Game Boy Advance) images'') was deleted, but the image is actually on that guide page.
