== Category suppression templates ==

I like the idea, but I'd suggest putting them at {{t|sys/nocat}} instead (and the same for the others), since they're just "special" cases of the main template.  It also avoids increasing the amount of transclusion of these high-use templates. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|Talk]]) 20:49, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

:Okay, sounds good. — [[User:Najzere|<span style="color:#909090">najzere</span>]]^{[[User talk:Najzere|<span style="color:#993300">T</span>]]} 20:52, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

::We could go with {{t|rd/nocat}} and do what you had before, first parameter of the relevant country.  We could also reuse the current country specific templates, by adding a fourth |nocat (or numbered) parameter, which is hardcoded into {{t|rd/nocat}} and passed through to {{t|release date}}, though this will require modifications to all the current rd-style templates.  Alternatively, we could create one for each country rd, but that also causes problems for maintenance. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|Talk]]) 21:57, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

:::Yeah, the easiest thing to do is just use one template for all of them. rd/nocat is probably the best, as it's the generic instance. The thing I liked about using one template for sys, co and rds, is it kept the syntax consistent over all cases. Now the rd one has the extra parameter, so it feels kind of awkward. Is multiple transclusions a big deal considering few guides will need to use the uncategorized versions? — [[User:Najzere|<span style="color:#909090">najzere</span>]]^{[[User talk:Najzere|<span style="color:#993300">T</span>]]} 22:03, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

It's like an arcade-type shooter--short, but addicting. I bought it because there's a "10 for '10" sale at the PlayStation Store. =D Thanks for fixing the categories. --[[User:E-123Wario54|E-123Wario54]] 22:43, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

:Sounds cool. No problem about the fixes! — [[User:Najzere|<span style="color:#909090">najzere</span>]]^{[[User talk:Najzere|<span style="color:#993300">T</span>]]} 22:48, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

::Alright. Thanks for all the help. =) --[[User:E-123Wario54|E-123Wario54]] 00:24, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

== Noticeboard ==

I'd have liked to see things like that go in the forums, but I don't think enough people would notice.  It would have to be manually updated to fulfill the stated purpose, but it does sound useful.  It could actually go beyond that and just be a place to throw a link if something seems like it might be important to more than just the parties involved.  Things like major reorganizations of a large guide, or a new interesting template being created. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|Talk]]) 03:18, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

:Yeah, it could have more diverse uses. It would have to be manually updated, but only by the person who wants to serve notice. It would be to their benefit if they're trying to raise awareness, and I think it should be mandatory for anyone proposing deletion. Besides the whole idea of going offsite to comment on this one being absurd, the forums also lack the ability to be watchlisted. Then again, the staff lounge is likely on all the admins' watchlists but that certainly doesn't make them any more active. Anyway, are [[StrategyWiki:Bulletin board]] or [[StrategyWiki:Noticeboard]] okay destinations? — [[User:Najzere|<span style="color:#909090">najzere</span>]]^{[[User talk:Najzere|<span style="color:#993300">T</span>]]} 07:19, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

:::Watchlist only shows the latest change.  I don't usually get to visit every day, and having the dates shows which have appeared since the last time.  It also shows how long a discussion has been going so the ones which are lagging can be prioritized. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|Talk]]) 21:24, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

::::You can set your watchlist to expand for all changes instead of most recent in your preferences. Lagging items should be dealt with in their respective categories. The problem I see with expanding the scope of the page, is it starts to encroach on other processes already in place, such as cleanup categories, the staff lounge, and (dare I say it!) the forums. The changes you've made don't preclude people using the page how I originally envisioned it, so it's no big deal. Let's just keep an eye on it and make sure it doesn't turn into something it's not. — [[User:Najzere|<span style="color:#909090">najzere</span>]]^{[[User talk:Najzere|<span style="color:#993300">T</span>]]} 21:42, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

So few people see the CP, I don't think it needs a WIP (yet). I also didn't bother no-including the cat cause it's already on the parent page, so just redundant code :). -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|Talk]]) 18:23, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

:So just make the changes live then? You can revert/modify if there's a problem I guess. — [[User:Najzere|<span style="color:#909090">najzere</span>]]^{[[User talk:Najzere|<span style="color:#993300">T</span>]]} 18:22, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

==Thanks!==

I didn't even THINK about Categorization of the images I uploaded. Thank you for doing that for me; it won't happen again! :) - [[User:Imjon|Imjon]] 20:18, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

:No prob. Thanks for the great edits! — [[User:Najzere|<span style="color:#909090">najzere</span>]]^{[[User talk:Najzere|<span style="color:#993300">T</span>]]} 20:32, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

== Atomis Wave buttons ==

Hey Naj, good catch as usual.  In theory (under idealized circumstance), those buttons are not just useful to the Fist of the North Star game, but also to other Atomis Wave games, such as the later King of Fighters, Guilty Gear, and other such fighters that came out on that hardware.  Personally, I think we can get better quality images, like we have for the Neo-Geo buttons.  Ultimately, I would categorize them under Arcade control images.  '''[[User:Procyon|<span style="color:red">Pro</span>]][[User talk:Procyon|<span style="color:grey">cyon</span>]]''' 19:55, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

:Okay, will do. Someone can replace them later with higher quality ones if need be. Thanks! — [[User:Najzere|<span style="color:#909090">najzere</span>]]^{[[User talk:Najzere|<span style="color:#993300">T</span>]]} 19:57, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
