Star Fox 2[edit]
Hey Galaxy. Good work on the Star Fox 2 guide so far. I have a couple suggestions. The single "=" headers are typically not used on StrategyWiki because they look a bit messy. I recommend replacing all of those with "==" instead. I will do this for you if you wish. Also, I wonder if Star Fox 2 could be more than a single page guide? I'm not familiar with the game myself, but I think it might be best to add a Table of Contents and make subpages for the guide. What do you think?--DukeRuckleyTalk | Contribs 11:06, 24 August 2008 (CDT)
- SF2 should absolutely be broken up into different pages. Please refer to the organization of several of our other guides, including the featured guides on this site. Also, please refer to the StrategyWiki guide for information on guide organization. Procyon (Talk) 20:04, 24 August 2008 (CDT)
- It's all done. Please, if one of us asks you to read the guide, it's because the answers to your questions are in the guide. The best way to create a page is to include the page in the Table of Contents by editing the ToC page, and then clicking on the red link that you created as a result. Procyon (Talk) 20:24, 24 August 2008 (CDT)
- Well thanks for that, sorry for the trouble, I had a look on the guide but didn't realise how to do it, now I know you have to do it editing the ToC. Thanks again. ~ Galaxy 20:30, 24 August 2008 (CDT)
- Looks great! If you have any more questions (or can't find something in the StrategyWiki:Guide), don't hesitate to ask one of the sysops for help.--DukeRuckleyTalk | Contribs 06:42, 25 August 2008 (CDT)
Will you be going over level by level walkthroughs anywhere? -- Prod (Talk) 20:59, 26 August 2008 (CDT)
- Hi, well yes, if by levels you mean the planetary bases, they will be in the 'Planets' section eventually with images and a mini walkthrough explaining how to get to the end of them (maybe even maps in the future). But because of the nature of the game enemies are also "levels" in a way, what I mean is that in a RPG for example you have the main game game line and enemies are just a side part of it, in this game however the missions are assigned when you confront and enemy group at least in space. That is also why I decided to put 'enemies' and 'bosses' sections under 'Walkthrough' instead of 'Apendices' like some other guides do. ~ Galaxy 21:06, 26 August 2008 (CDT)
- Enemies being mostly random I understand, but usually bosses are at a specific point in a level, and we suggest putting the way to beat the boss at that location in the guide, rather than having them click another link to get to the description. For example the boss battle in EarthBound is included right in the main guide. Is Star Fox 2 different from that? -- Prod (Talk) 21:11, 26 August 2008 (CDT)
- I have thought about that, and I could be done that way but I am not sure it's the best option, because Land Bosses are in specific levels in specific difficulty levels, but Space Bosses are not in specific places. I also wanted to have the sections with clean distinctions, what i mean is that if I put Land Bosses on Planets, then that would leave Space Bosses by themselves, because they are not planets, if you rename planets into levels, as i said, enemies and missiles are also "levels". What I had in mind is giving the walkthrough for the land levels in 'Planets' referring to the bosses section whenever you had to face them, that way also works when you are only searching for the way to defeat a specific boss without having to look for it in the middle of the planet walkthroughs, or when you follow a link from the word 'boss' from another page. ~ Galaxy 21:22, 26 August 2008 (CDT)
- I'm still a bit confused about how it works, but I'll leave it for discussion later on once more of the guide is complete. From what you said, I doubt we'll change it. The guide is looking quite nice by the way :). -- Prod (Talk) 22:00, 26 August 2008 (CDT)
- That's fine, as you say, it can easily be moved in the future when the sections are more complete, thanks ; ) ~ Galaxy 22:07, 26 August 2008 (CDT)

Hi, I saw that you changed some formatting I did in Star Fox 2/Getting Started using 'div style="float:right; padding-left:1em"', I used that to put the Toc to the right to save space, and I also used it with the image so it could be on the right just besides the Toc, it was the only method I found to do that. I reverted the image formatting because I don't think it looks good to the left, but I also noticed that though you made the Toc stay to the right with 'floatingtoc', the problem is that the text makes contact with it because it doesn't have padding, unless you know how to put padding, I'm going to revert it as it was. This method is also used by other guides like Ocarina of Time anyway. Thanks ~ Galaxy 12:09, 30 August 2008 (CDT)
- I'll fix floatingtoc. I was having the same trouble with the picture, wasn't going where I wanted it to. -- Prod (Talk) 12:18, 30 August 2008 (CDT)
- Wouldn't it be better if 'floatingtoc' had a bit more padding? ~ Galaxy 12:32, 30 August 2008 (CDT)
Marking stuff for deletion[edit]
In the future, if you would like something deleted could you please put {{delete}} on the page? It adds a large header that alerts sysops a bit better than edit summaries that something should be deleted. Don't forget to add a reason as the first parameter (like {{delete|Some reason here}} or {{delete|reason=Some reason here}}) Thanks. --Skizzerz 22:11, 25 August 2008 (CDT)
