:No problem.  These images really help bring the guides to life, nice work with that! Also, if you put {{t|-}} before a section header, it'll make sure that images don't push down into that section. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|Talk]]) 20:34, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

HM64

Nice work on the Harvest Moon 64 guide! Just make sure to use [[Category:Harvest Moon 64 images]] instead of [[Category:HM64 images]], since that's the full game name. Keep up the good work. ^_^ --E-123Wario54The Temple of TalkFFI black mage (8-bit).gif 03:41, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

I noticed you removed Harvest Moon 64/Girls and marriage from the ToC. Did you not use any content from that page when creating yours? The page really should have been renamed instead of orphaned so that any sourcing/history is kept intact. -- Prod (Talk) 04:08, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
Shall I merge the history of the Girls and Marriage page to the Characters page? If you need to rename a page, there's a "Move" link at the top of most pages. If you have any questions, I try to be on the chat (link at the top), though I'm often idle, or just ask on my talk page, and I'd be glad to help. -- Prod (Talk) 19:54, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
I just linked the getting started page in the ToC. Unless that page is deleted, things should be fine as is. Merging histories is only relevant if a page is being deleted. -- Prod (Talk) 00:03, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

Adding pictures

When adding images, can you put them on new lines? Adding them inside a paragraph makes it harder to find them, and the parser will split sections around it into separate paragraphs when laying out anyway. Here's a diff of some suggested changes. -- Prod (Talk) 18:44, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

No problem. These images really help bring the guides to life, nice work with that! Also, if you put {{-}} before a section header, it'll make sure that images don't push down into that section. -- Prod (Talk) 20:34, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
One other thing is that we try to avoid setting sizes on thumbnails, since it overrides what some people set in their preferences. If you need the specific sizing, then it's fine, otherwise try to avoid it. Also, not sure if you've seen it, but we have a gallery tag for showing a bunch of images together. -- Prod (Talk) 21:37, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
