[edit] Merge

See Main Page/old for the old Nintendopedia main page. See Forum:Nintendopedia merge for details of the merge. Angela (talk) 11:14, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] No merging

(Just for fun, if your reading this with your mind, read it as if you were hearing Hank Hill from King of the Hill reading it, just for a bit of fun.)

I can see lately that certain pages are being merged with other certain pages which since I now uderstand how this process goes but just to make sure, I want seperate pages for these articles:

• Super Mario Advance
• Super Mario World : Super Mario Advance 2
• Super Mario World 2 Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3
• Super Mario Bros. 3: Super Mario Advance 4

• And the Nes Classic GBA games.

Even though they have a slight difference in the story line than the original game, they are still considered different games which most of us agree so please, don't merge these games with other games. I mean this is the Nintendo Wikipedia, not Wikipedia. --Vitas 07:15, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Logo

I think the logo should be altered - Mario needs to be fitted into his Mario Galaxy appearance, and Pikachu should be included somewhere. - LTTP 03:48, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

It seems that you're still using the old wikia format. The new one features a new logo with Samus, Link, and a Super Mario Galaxy Mario, followed by a Nintendo logo. Talk

Even still, I think the logo should be Mario, Pikachu, Link, Donkey Kong, Kirby, and Samus Aran. - LTTP 02:51, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

I'll try to do something in the coming weeks, but don't expect anything amazing right away, because adding all of those characters in a 266 by 75 pixel logo will be challenging... buy maybe I'll be able to do it... Talk

[edit] Another thing

Merging, I think we need to merge some pages, like variants of Lakitu. After all, Lakitu is very small and undeveloped, and keeping them separate just makes many small articles. - LTTP 19:27, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

For now it's probably a good idea to merge, though saying that Lakitu isn't a developed species is a false assumption. Plenty of information has been released on the characters/species. However, note that if someone happens to create a page on a variant of Lakitu (or any other species for that matter), and it's a well developed page (or in other words - not a stub), then it's probably a wise choice to keep it. Constructing too many rules may be unattractive to many, including myself.

If there are any variant pages (that are small), then please tell me and I'll merge them. If you think you're up to the task, then feel free to do it yourself, and I'll make sure to correct any mistakes that you might do. Talk

Also, I'd say that it's a good idea if we don't merge character articles, as they are arguably more significant. For example, Lakilester should probably have his own page, even if it's a stub, since he is quite a notable character in Paper Mario. Talk

[edit] Spotlight

Greetings! I'm from the Wikia Gaming Team, and I want to add Nintendopedia to the spotlights running on Wikia (those little ads for other wikis that you see). We're specifically going to feature you on the Super Smash Bros. wiki because we think that a lot of the editors on that wiki would also be interested in joining you guys. The only catch is that in order to be eligible to be featured, you have to meet our best practices. The good news is that you already meet almost all of them! The only problem is that your Main Page is still called "Main Page". To help with Google ranking, we suggest that you rename your main page to "Nintendopedia". This is pretty easy to do. You can learn about how to do this, and find more suggestions about promoting your wiki here.

Of course, you don't have to do this, but we think it's a good idea, it's pretty easy, and we'll help promote you if you do. ;)

I'll be watching. Let me know if you have any questions. --KyleH (talk) 18:57, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Videogame Sales wiki created!

Hello, I've created Videogame Sales wiki to organize console and game sales data and trends. For those of you who enjoy reading the latest NPD or worldwide sales figures and seeing who's winning the console race, then stop by and check the wiki out. If you have any questions, just leave a comment on the wiki. Thanks! w3stfa11 00:14, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

That's a really cool idea for a Wikia. It's just a shame that I didn't come up with it! (Just kidding of course! I support your wiki! Talk

shouldn't the main page be protected? Image:Clay Mario.png Clay Mario Image:Clay Mario.png

Are you talking about The Video Game Sales Wiki or this one? If you're talking about the VGSales one, you should of

put it on their talk page. If it's about this one, then you should of created a new section. Well, it's against Wikia Guidelines for Main Page protection, because it's apparently offputting to newbies when thay see that they ca'nt edit the 1st page thet see.-Yowuza 16:17, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] New design

I like the new design! Thanks for making the change :) I was just coming on here to make my own suggestion ... since it was mostly complete I've put it on User:Kirkburn/Dev anyway - if you want to steal any of that, be my guest. Kirkburn (talk) 14:38, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Heya! I just updated the column order as the left column can now come first in the code (which should make sense :). I note the columns are rather unbalanced at the moment? Is that unintentional? Kirkburn (talk) 12:56, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

What exactly do you mean by "unbalanced", and if you could fix it, that'd be great! Talk

UPDATE: Wait, by unbalanced do you mean one side is larger than the other? If so, then yes - that's unintentional. I'll try to fix it eventually by putting more news in the site news section. Talk

[edit] Selected Quotes

Will there be a seperate article to store old quotes and suggest new ones? Just wondering. - 23:10, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I'm planning to do that eventually. I'll tell everyone when I do. Talk

'Kay, thanks. - BattleFranky202 17:23, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Mmmhmm - here's the for the quotes. I've already added a page for Francis from Super Paper Mario. Once enough pages are added, I'll include the category on the front page. Talk

[edit] Featured Article: "List of EarthBound characters"

Yeah, it said "Ness, Paula, Jeff and Poo meet these various characters on their adventure to rid the world of the invading Giygas, as well as other baddies such as Porky and Dr. Andonuts". I think that would mislead people into thinking that Dr. Andonuts is a villain or bad guy, and he's not. Could anyone change that? - BattleFranky202 15:36, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Ohmygosh I can't believe I didn't catch that! Thanks for telling me! Talk

By the way, why does the Ness picture is bigger than the Featured Article window? o_O It needs 75px or something, or is it just my computer? And thanks for giving the article the featured status. 8D ~Shiny Umbreon 16:10, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

For some computers it must be too big - I'll shrink it! Thanks for the heads up. PS if it's still too big be sure to tell me. Talk

It's perfect right now. Thanks. ~Shiny Umbreon 16:44, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
