== Mobile Phone games/genre == | |||
When working on [[ActRaiser]] I noticed that Wikipedia has the game listed under Mobile Phones as a platform, since Square Enix made a version of the game in 2003 for such a platform (according to Wikipedia). How do we accurately note this information? Should a general Mobile Phone genre be created? I don't have a cell phone, but what sort of software is involved? Does it make a difference? Do the cell phones themselves, the model or brand for instance, change anything besides availability of the games and software (engine)? --[[User:Notmyhandle|Notmyhandle]] ([[User talk:Notmyhandle|talk]] <small>•</small> [[Special:Contributions/Notmyhandle|contribs]]) 20:40, 26 April 2007 (CDT) | |||

::Mmk. Ambiguity for the win. What should it be categorized under the game platform though? Mobile Phone or just Mobile? --[[User:Notmyhandle|Notmyhandle]] ([[User talk:Notmyhandle|talk]] <small>•</small> [[Special:Contributions/Notmyhandle|contribs]]) 22:04, 26 April 2007 (CDT) | |||
::The problem with the genre is that the game will probably be very different so we would need a disambig page for the game and that would be annoying with games that are already done or half done.Rocky <span class="plainlinks">[http://strategywiki.org/wiki/User:Rocky http://media.strategywiki.org/images/thumb/7/78/Rally-X_Rock.png/25px-Rally-X_Rock.png]</span> <sup>([[User_Talk:Rocky|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Rocky|Contributions]])</sup> 00:57, 27 April 2007 (CDT) | |||
:::It's pretty much gaurenteed to be different, although since 2003 I assume much has developed in the way of cellphones. ActRaiser was a game that got reduced to a three level platformer. --[[User:Notmyhandle|Notmyhandle]] ([[User talk:Notmyhandle|talk]] <small>•</small> [[Special:Contributions/Notmyhandle|contribs]]) 01:34, 27 April 2007 (CDT) | |||
:::Actually for something like this we could probably do [[ActRaiser (disambiguation)]] and link to it at the top of the main [[ActRaiser]] page. I say that since the SNES version is WAY more common and what people would most likely be looking for. Thats how disambig typically works on WP anyway and I don't see any reason why we shouldn't copy their policy on this. --[[User:Argash|Argash]] 08:54, 27 April 2007 (CDT) | |||
== Collaboration of the Month URGENT == | |||
It's the end of the month, and there's no Collab assigned! See main page A.S.A.P! --[[User:Notmyhandle|Notmyhandle]] ([[User talk:Notmyhandle|talk]] <small>•</small> [[Special:Contributions/Notmyhandle|contribs]]) 01:11, 1 May 2007 (CDT) | |||
:Heh heh heh, I'd been wondering about that... Get to it guys, gals, etc, put votes in if you haven't already, sort this out Quick!! :-P --[[User:Froglet|Froglet]] 04:08, 1 May 2007 (CDT) | |||
:We still need a promising guide of the month. Vote, people!--[[User:Dan|Dan]] 08:27, 1 May 2007 (CDT) | |||
::Currently, [[Pokémon Gold, Silver and Crystal]] is in the lead with 2 for votes and 0 oppose votes! I'd say this candidate would win unless some new votes are added (and/or new candidates)! --[[User:Ryan Schmidt|Ryan Schmidt]]<sup>[[User talk:Ryan Schmidt|Talk]] [[User talk:Ryan Schmidt/blab|-]] [[Special:Contributions/Ryan Schmidt|Contribs]]</sup> 16:28, 1 May 2007 (CDT) | |||
: I opposed G/S/C, but I want to be clear about why I did. At some point I intend to reformat G/S/C to the format that R/B/Y uses, and the less stuff that's already there, the easier it is to do. I know it's not for me to say, "no, you can't do that," and I'm not trying to say that. I'm only asking to be given an opportunity to get through R/B/Y and then I can start G/S/C in earnest. Read my comments on the collab page for more. [[User:Procyon|Procyon]] ([[User talk:Procyon|Talk]]) 16:47, 1 May 2007 (CDT) | |||
==Completely redone the CI archives== | |||
I've completely redone the archives for this page to hopefully make it easier to find stuff. Previously it was in something that vaguely resembled chronological order with a lot of stuff in completely random order. I've now organized everything by the date of the first SIGNED post in a topic. Please remember that the existing archives are still wildly out of order with in each month because thats how they come out of the old archives and I didn't feel the need for perfection. Going forward it should take care of itself though. --[[User:Argash|Argash]] 05:26, 3 May 2007 (CDT) | |||
: So are we archiving threads by last post or by creation date?--[[User:Dan|Dan]] 08:21, 3 May 2007 (CDT) | |||
::The best practice is by creation date or the date of the first signed post. On WP the standard practice is to archive a discussion when it appears to be finished (a few days with no new posts). Then after that discussion is archived if you want to revive it you start up a new topic on the main page referencing the archive. This helps to keep only the most relevant discussions up front and free of dead discussions. --[[User:Argash|Argash]] 16:03, 3 May 2007 (CDT) | |||
===Need help with [[Template:Talkarchive]]=== | |||
I might have been too clever in the way that I set up the new archives. If you look at the link generated by [[Template:Talkarchive]] on [[ StrategyWiki talk:Community Portal/2007/March]] the link to the main discussion page points to [[StrategyWiki talk:Community Portal/2007]] instead of [[StrategyWiki talk:Community Portal]]. Anyone have any ideas how to fix that?--[[User:Argash|Argash]] 01:50, 4 May 2007 (CDT) | |||
:Well, Until we find out, I've redirected it to here.Rocky <span class="plainlinks">[http://strategywiki.org/wiki/User:Rocky http://media.strategywiki.org/images/thumb/7/78/Rally-X_Rock.png/25px-Rally-X_Rock.png]</span> <sup>([[User_Talk:Rocky|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Rocky|Contributions]])</sup> 00:54, 4 May 2007 (CDT) | |||
::Hah such an easy solution that i couldn't even think of it! good job sir! --[[User:Argash|Argash]] 01:50, 4 May 2007 (CDT) | |||
:::Thanks but we really need a fix for this so we don't have to deal with the the 2008 bug :P. I'll look at the template tonight or tomorrow.Rocky <span class="plainlinks">[http://strategywiki.org/wiki/User:Rocky http://media.strategywiki.org/images/thumb/7/78/Rally-X_Rock.png/25px-Rally-X_Rock.png]</span> <sup>([[User_Talk:Rocky|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Rocky|Contributions]])</sup> 10:19, 4 May 2007 (CDT) | |||
::::I asked at wikipedia and the only suggestion was to put a <code><nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}}</nowiki></code> on a subpage of each page that you want to archive ans subst: it to the page but that would mean doing it for every page, I've got an idea with the parser functions but for now, just redirect them.Rocky <span class="plainlinks">[http://strategywiki.org/wiki/User:Rocky http://media.strategywiki.org/images/thumb/7/78/Rally-X_Rock.png/25px-Rally-X_Rock.png]</span> <sup>([[User_Talk:Rocky|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Rocky|Contributions]])</sup> 13:35, 4 May 2007 (CDT) | |||
::::I'll take a look later today, see if anything can be worked out. -- [[User:Mason11987|Mason11987]] <sup>([[User talk:Mason11987|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Mason11987|Contributions]])</sup> 19:09, 4 May 2007 (CDT) | |||
:::::I don't understand why you don't just hardcode StrategyWiki talk:Community Portal in instead of that basepage crap. lol --[[User:Notmyhandle|Notmyhandle]] ([[User talk:Notmyhandle|talk]] <small>•</small> [[Special:Contributions/Notmyhandle|contribs]]) 20:05, 4 May 2007 (CDT) | |||
:::::Ohhhhh is the template used for ALL archive pages? ahaha I thought this was specific to just the comm portal talk. Anyways, why not just add a parameter for the page? <nowiki>{{Talkarchive|StrategyWiki talk:Community Portal}}</nowiki> ...? --[[User:Notmyhandle|Notmyhandle]] ([[User talk:Notmyhandle|talk]] <small>•</small> [[Special:Contributions/Notmyhandle|contribs]]) 20:10, 4 May 2007 (CDT) | |||
::::::<nowiki>{{Talkarchive|StrategyWiki talk:Community Portal}}</nowiki> doesn't work as it has to be an external link (like http://strategywiki.org/wiki/StrategyWiki_talk:Community_Portal ). Anyway, I've modified the template a bit so all you have to do is <nowiki>{{Talkarchive|CP}}</nowiki> and it links to the community portal talk page. (It uses #ifeq so it HAS to be exactly CP, it IS case-sensitive) --[[User:Ryan Schmidt|Ryan Schmidt]]<sup>[[User talk:Ryan Schmidt|Talk]] [[User talk:Ryan Schmidt/blab|-]] [[Special:Contributions/Ryan Schmidt|Contribs]]</sup> 20:41, 4 May 2007 (CDT) | |||
:::::::Works for me thanks for the fix [[User:Argash|Argash]] 21:38, 4 May 2007 (CDT) | |||
::::::::I asked at wikipedia and they've come up with a different solution for this, it will work for every page so I'm testing it out [[User:Rocky/Talkarchives|here]] and [[User:Rocky/Talkarchives/1|here]]. When it's done I'll copy and paste it. BTW Is it OK to stop at 2 subpages (e.g a/b/c) or should I do 3 (e.g a/b/c/d), i'll set this up so you put "|2" for 2 and "|3" for 3 on the template.Rocky <span class="plainlinks">[http://strategywiki.org/wiki/User:Rocky http://media.strategywiki.org/images/thumb/7/78/Rally-X_Rock.png/25px-Rally-X_Rock.png]</span> <sup>([[User_Talk:Rocky|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Rocky|Contributions]])</sup> 13:20, 5 May 2007 (CDT) | |||
== I'm headed to Florida for a week == | |||
Just so you guys know. I'll be using some of my time down there for guide writing. No internet though. If you need anything, let me know now. Otherwise, talk to Dan or DrBob about any server problems/issues you have in my absence. See you guys when I get back! Also, I'm out of college for a few weeks until summer semester (which will be a light load). Cheers! <span style="border: 1px solid #888; padding: 1px">'''[[User:Echelon|<span style="color:#777;background-color:#eee;">ech</span>]][[User_talk:Echelon|<span style="color:#777;background-color:#eee;">elon</span>]]'''</span> 00:21, 4 May 2007 (CDT) | |||

:: [[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask]] is first on my list. I may finish taking screenshots for [[Ocarina of Time]] as well so that every page has them. <span style="border: 1px solid #888; padding: 1px">'''[[User:Echelon|<span style="color:#777;background-color:#eee;">ech</span>]][[User_talk:Echelon|<span style="color:#777;background-color:#eee;">elon</span>]]'''</span> 11:02, 4 May 2007 (CDT) | |||
