Would it be okay for location/character/enemy infoboxes if I put the Japkana and Japtrans as optional to make it look nicer until it's set up correctly?

== Equippable Item Template == | |||
I'm working on the [[List of equippable items in Mother 3]], but the generic item list template isn't quite right for it. Does this require a new template, or can the current one be tweaked to work for this without messing it up for non-equippable items? I'm thinking that the "Additional effects" column should be made thinner, making room for a "Usable by" column with character sprites like what was done [[Wikibound:Sandbox#Item list tests|here]]...It's clear that I have a lot to learn about template-making. [[User:AquaAzure|AquaAzure]] 14:53, 14 January 2012 (EST) | |||
:List of equippable items in Mother 3 should be a disambiguation page, a-la [[List of equippable items in Mother]]. The additional effects column is rename-able if you want to go that route, though, when we get to that. [[User:BB Gang Zombie|Multus]] 15:09, 14 January 2012 (EST) | |||
::Okay, but what about equippable items that also have additional effects (e.g. Knit Sweater, Flame Pendant)? Wouldn't they need that extra column? [[User:AquaAzure|AquaAzure]] 15:25, 14 January 2012 (EST) | |||
:::Honestly, I don't think a "Usable by" column is needed. What I think we should do is something like [[Bandana]], (hasn't been adapted to the new system) where we list exceptions, rather than listing off all characters that can use it. [[User:BB Gang Zombie|Multus]] 15:31, 14 January 2012 (EST) | |||
==So, what's up with the infoboxes?== | |||
Did some random page checking and noticed that all pages with an infobox now look more or less like [http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/875/wtfwb.png this]. It appears that way in IE, Chrome and FF, so I doubt that it's browser-related. Did I just miss out on the feng shuiing of the layout, or is it a genuine error? [[User:Sun Braid|Sun Braid]] ([[User talk:Sun Braid|talk]]) 18:14, 6 May 2012 (EDT) | |||
:Error. I think Tacopill accidentally bumped something during his recent tweaks.

== About the spam == | |||
Disabling new page creation by new users looks like it'll be the best we can do for now. There's only so much updating the blacklist can do, and we won't be able to investigate a new spam filter for account creation for a while. :T But I suppose it's better than nothing. Man, do I feel really bad that this place has been just falling apart lately, though. Templates are still sort of broken and all that's left in the recent changes is an edit or two and deleting/blocking spambots. Kind of depressing. {{User:Tina/sig}} 13:28, 1 June 2012 (EDT) | |||
:Let's not let it get us down. We have a bunch of things we can still work on in spite of the spam and template issues. That to-do list won't finish itself!

::Of course it won't bring us down~! Honestly, we don't get that many editors, so I don't think a new page block would effect much. As long as we can confirm a user, I think that's the best way. Oh, and I should be less dead starting next week since school's out, so I can get to work, too. Until then, o/ [[User:BB Gang Zombie|Multus]] ([[User talk:BB Gang Zombie|talk]]) 01:36, 4 June 2012 (EDT) | |||
== Can we resolve these already? == | |||
What's wrong with the infoboxes? Why isn't the spam filter functioning? If we want this place presentable, we need to figure those issues out, ASAP.

::[[Template:Character infobox]] and [[Template:PSI infobox]] are laid out differently than the other infoboxes (roundy template rather than roundy class); anyone know how to fix them?

== About Mother 1 == | |||
I was working on some enemy articles a few months ago, using my then-current playthrough experience to expand the articles (e.g. Nancy uses an HP-to-1 spell; Dust Balls, of all things, explode), and stopped at the Mook before all my changes were reverted. I'm starting again with the Dragon. Anyways, I found a resource that lists the enemy's actions, and from what I've seen so far on my EB Zero playthrough, it seems fairly accurate. This is the link to it: [http://shrines.rpgclassics.com/nes/ebz/enemiesp.shtml] Hopefully, this will speed up the expansion of the Mother 1 enemy articles.

== What's the best way to find out about all item listings for Mother 3? == | |||
I'm interested in filling in most, if not all the blanks in item locations and costs, if any, on the Mother 3 Item List. I've noticed that it's been mostly empty, and most people using the fan translation don't really know where to find things easily. I've found nothing online, and I decided to try helping. | |||
In short, is there anywhere or anything that can help me find out where to find everything? [[User:Thieverpedia|Thieverpedia]] ([[User talk:Thieverpedia|talk]]) 19:19, 13 December 2013 (UTC) | |||
:[http://kingdarian.fobby.net/] is one good resource (it is missing some information about the items themselves, such as hidden resistances on certain equipment, but for locations it usually has all the info) [[User:BB Gang Zombie|BB Gang Zombie]] ([[User talk:BB Gang Zombie|talk]]) 16:51, 14 December 2013 (UTC) | |||
I'll try to complete the consumables section in my spare time, but it could take a bit to compile everything. Is this acceptable? [[User:Thieverpedia|Thieverpedia]] ([[User talk:Thieverpedia|talk]]) 04:37, 17 December 2013 (UTC) | |||
:No rush, better done slowly and accurately than a rush job anyway; actually it's mostly just great it's being done at all because I haven't had the time to do it myself. [[User:BB Gang Zombie|BB Gang Zombie]] ([[User talk:BB Gang Zombie|talk]]) 20:39, 17 December 2013 (UTC) | |||
Hit a little snag while editing. I can't seem to find out how to make a scrollbar, and the [[Help:Editing]] page doesn't tell how to do so.

==Max Stats for Mother 1== | |||
Salutations y'all! I noticed that there are currently no listings for the maximum statistics of characters in M1. I have screen shots of Ninten, Lloyd, and Ana at level 99, but I'm slightly hesitant to add the information to their respective pages without community approval. The reason for this is because the way stat growth works is nearly identical to Dragon Quest III, in that they have ranges rather than fixed end-points. That being said, the info could be presented just as a ballpark range rather than a hard fact, and give readers an inkling to where the kids will be around at that level. So, what do you guys think?

== Layout and skins == | |||
Hello! I'm Lake(limbo) and I recently joined Grifkuba's Wiki Division Team. Even though my account is just a few days old, I follow WikiBound since ~2016 and, unfortunately, it's pretty hard to browse the site on mobile. Monobook is an old skin with a lot of deprecated code, but WikiBound has Timeless installed as well. I can customize Timeless to get rid of the right sidebar and add a Mother series theming. | |||
Another thing I could also do is rearrange the layout of the pages themselves, using newer and better CSS settings to adapt to each screen size and make the UX considerably better. What do you think about it? :) —[[User:Lakelimbo|Lakelimbo]] ([[User talk:Lakelimbo|talk]]) 01:51, 18 May 2021 (UTC) | |||
