Jump Ultimate Stars

  • Good idea for cleaning up the series on the right sidebar. I think I'll just do what you did with the TOC though, instead of just bolding them, I'll use the big tag. Thanks. :) --Sakurina 15:37, 30 December 2006 (CST)
    • Actually, never mind that. >_> --Sakurina 15:40, 30 December 2006 (CST)
  • Regarding the userbox thing, I'm not too sure what the policy is, so I'm doing it the same way Wikipedia has recently adopted, keeping them in userspace. That way, useless random userboxes don't get created unless the user intends on using it on their own pages. I made it since other users will be joining in on the JUS guide over on the Abxy forums, and I wanted a way to easily see who's in and who isn't. I didn't know you were a sysop too, haha. --Sakurina 15:44, 30 December 2006 (CST)
  • Yeah, that bottom bar is confusing. The game itself isn't really linear at all, it's very free-flowing, so the next/previous thing varies from player to player. :/ Also, not having the game, there are some things I couldn't clarify right now. We'll leave it as is for now and whenever I figure things out, I suppose I'll be able to fix the next/prev page thing. --Sakurina 16:32, 30 December 2006 (CST)

Main Page Links

Hey Prod! There is a link back to the main page of guides anyway, just click the Table of Contents/Walkthrough bar. Phoenix499 11:57, 13 November 2006 (CST) Edit: Thanks about the skaters pages :)

Oh, I'll talk to him then. It's just that they are incrdibley uncessary and look stupid. The main page is the link left to the Table of Contents. I also don't agree with placing the tables of contents on the front page, and think that only the Indroduction, Infobox and External Links should be on the "Main page". I'll bring this up then. Thanks. Phoenix499 12:05, 13 November 2006 (CST)
Nah, not the ToC, I meant something like this, http://strategywiki.org/wiki/Feel_the_Magic:_XY/XX Where all the ToC and Walkthrough is on one page. It doesn't look as good, not as neat and there would be no point in havign the actual ToC bar if the links where all on the main page.
This has been discussed before, and the verdict was that the ToC in the Template:Tl is not visible enough for the front page, where people want to get somewhere quickly. Having the ToC on the front page eliminates the time spent finding the link to display the ToC in the Template:Tl, click it, then find the page for which you are looking on the ToC. --DrBob (Talk) 12:55, 13 November 2006 (CST)
Oh come on, thats a joke right. Can't be seen, can't be accessed quick enough. It's right there, infront of you! Oh well, rules are rules. It's just it looks very stupid. Maybe the decision should be raised again is all I'm saying. Phoenix499 13:12, 13 November 2006 (CST)
Just to make sure we're on the same footing: you think the tables of contents on the main page should be removed because you can access the table of contents through the "show" link on the Template:Tl, yes? The "show" link may be obvious to you, but it might not be obvious to a lot of other people, and it's a fairly small target (as things go) for people to click. A table of contents on the main page is a lot more obvious, and more book-like (which is basically what we're aiming for with these sub-paged guides). The table of contents accessible through the "show" link is more of a courtesy. --DrBob (Talk) 16:30, 13 November 2006 (CST)

Table of Contents

I have noticed that you are putting the table of contents for articles on their main page. I know it is for convenience, but why? To me it clutters the page and whats the point when there is the article Nav at the top of the page? 0-172 3:56, 15 November 2006 (CST)

It means that the ToC is easily visible to anybody (many guests may not know that there is a ToC hidden at the top of the page), and having it on the main page means that there's only one click from the main page to get you anywhere in the guide, rather than two (clicking on the ToC at the top, then where you want to go). For key navigation, this is important, as it makes things a lot faster. Besides, having a ToC on the front page of a guide fills it up, and gives a good at-a-glance indication of how well the guide is progressing. --DrBob (Talk) 00:22, 15 November 2006 (CST)

Firefox render problem

Here's the image you requested: Firefox Render Error. Note that I am using Firefox 2.0 on Gentoo Linux. Karimarie 12:48, 15 December 2006 (CST)

That's a problem which looks alarmingly similar to one I fixed with IE earlier. Regardless, it's almost certainly caused by a distro-specific bug in Firefox, induced by Gentoo patches, as it doesn't appear in vanilla Firefox on Linux or Windows, or the Ubuntu builds. What I would advise is that you use your user CSS to override the width for tables and therefore fix the problem. Something like "table { max-width: 98%; }" might work. --DrBob (Talk) 13:04, 15 December 2006 (CST)

Mega Man 7 Boss Guide

Your alternate formatting failed in terms of numbering the attacks. What was your purpose in a different format than what I had come up with? If it's just moving the "solution" section of each attack, you could simply indent or bold, etc. But I think it should be reverted to my section anyways, since yours shows the numbers that dont apply to anything (we could remove numbers completely if thats what you want). --Notmyhandle 19:24, 18 December 2006 (CST)

Geffen map

I'm using the in-game map names in order to be consistent with the content actually in the iRO game. Ragnarok Online/Maps/alberta is similarly named. Karimarie 21:28, 18 December 2006 (CST)

FF7

Just curious why you reverted my change on the FF7 main page. (Not upset or anything I just don't think it needs that huge amount of redundancy)--Argash 22:10, 18 December 2006 (CST)

With the sidebar ToC doesn't that qualify though? --Argash 23:23, 18 December 2006 (CST)

Heh

didn't realize there was a redirect there. BTW might be time to archive your talk page again :) --Argash 23:45, 18 December 2006 (CST)

Asphalt Urban GT

The title of the game has no colon in it. 0-172 17:45, 29 December 2006 (CST)

NFS Most Wanted Cars List

Thanks for Cleaning it up some, I hate Tables. lol WillSWC 23:59, 29 December 2006 (CST)
