| − | * Making this my official proposal for our new mission articles. [[User:EspioKaos/Sandbox|Behold]]! I do believe I've got everything tweaked just the way I want it. If anyone else has suggestions or ideas of their own for a similar page, please don't keep it to yourself! Create a new page and submit it here; otherwise I'd like to see us get to work on creating mission articles with this template as soon as possible. - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 23:07, 4 November 2007 (CST)

| − | * Holy cow. I love this. - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 02:54, 6 November 2007 (CST)
| |
| − | ** Thanks, Mira! :) - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 06:35, 6 November 2007 (CST)
| |
| − | * Glad I could help on it, I still think i like the mission info box with cellspacing set to zero though just so it looks like the wikitable. -- [[User:KyTin|KyTin]] 04:10, 6 November 2007 (CST)
| |
| − | * Which is still being used on [[Planet's Scar]] don't know if I made the change on the sandbox or there now that I think about it lol. -- [[User:KyTin|KyTin]] 04:14, 6 November 2007 (CST)
| |
| − | ** Yeah, the infobox's cell spacing finally started to look fine to me. Besides, when it was made to look like the other tables, any text outside of the box ran right up to the side without leaving any space, and I just thought it looked a little sloppy. I still don't know why the text does that on the zero-cell-spaced one. XD - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 06:35, 6 November 2007 (CST)
| |
| − | * A lot like my old page at http://psupedia.info/User:Au/Sandbox that I never got around to complete or propose or anything. Glad you did! My comments. First, I would like the map pattern info to be on these pages too (could templatize these like the drops and have them both on the rare monster page and on the missions). Second, monster counts are nice too if available. Third, the 'Available ranks' field in the mission info box is not needed since you can get that info from the 'Mission requirements and rewards' section on the same screen, it's duplicate info. Fourth, I think the colors in the mission requirements box are ugly. Red for unavailable ranks is fine but the blue hurts my eyes. Rest looks good!
| |
| − | ** Keep in mind that the blue background (likewise, the red) is completely temporary, as the blue will be taken away when the English version of the game receives that particular mission. Just like with the weapon/line shield tables where a currently-Japanese-only item hasn't made its way to us yet. I'd considered adding the spawn charts to the article, but I was afraid I might be throwing too much stuff in there. XD That's why I opted for a link to that particular mission's spawn chart at the top of the page. - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 11:11, 6 November 2007 (CST)
| |
| − | * The running text is a quick fix set cellspacing 0 on the main area then on the subs where the text is set it to 1-3 and problem solved. Let me know if you need any help with that i can show you what it will look like on the one that has it that way still. -- [[User:KyTin|KyTin]] 10:38, 6 November 2007 (CST)
| |
| − | ** Feel free to update that one like that, or if you want, you can copy-paste the code into a sandbox of your own to play around with and show us any adjustments you'd like to make. To be honest, though, I've actually become quite attached to the style I've got now. XD - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 11:11, 6 November 2007 (CST)
| |
| − | ** The template looks great to me, very readable, useful data when filled in etc. and any improvements can be made over time anyway. - [[User:Mewn|Mewn]] 11:47, 6 November 2007 (CST)
| |
| − | * I've updated my [[Grove of Fanatics]] article to include a (blank) rare spawn chart and to remove a little redundant information. Thoughts? - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 11:48, 6 November 2007 (CST)
| |
| − | ** Spawn information is exactly one of the things why I would want to look at a mission page, so I like it. One thingy though, I wouldn't name it a 'rare spawn chart' but just 'spawn chart'; all map information is interesting sometimes not just the rare ones. [[User:Au+|Au+]] 12:13, 6 November 2007 (CST)
| |
| − | *** Ah, good point. I'll fix that. - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 12:14, 6 November 2007 (CST)
| |
| − | ** Perhaps a place for enemy counts would be useful as well. Though I imagine it wouldn't be easy to get the info.[[User:Propagandist|Propagandist]] 13:30, 6 November 2007 (CST)
| |
| − | *** OK, I've added it to the Grove article. Provided we have people willing to get counts on enemies, it shouldn't be too difficult, but exactly how useful is it? I mean, I can think of an example of wanting a certain item that drops from one enemy, so I'd want to find the mission with the most spawns of that one enemy to increase my chances of it dropping. But, otherwise I don't know. - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 14:01, 6 November 2007 (CST)
| |
| − | * Random thought what about the mission with variable exp such as rainbow beast S2. -- [[User:KyTin|KyTin]] 15:18, 6 November 2007 (CST)
| |
| − | ** D: It has variable EXP? I hadn't noticed. Can you elaborate on that for me? ;) - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 15:20, 6 November 2007 (CST)
| |
| − | ** I've never heard of variable EXP - EXP is static and depends on the monster, its level, and whether it has sword/shield/crown/whatever. If, as I'm guessing, you're referring to lower levels getting less EXP - there's actually an EXP penalty for killing monsters 31 levels or more above your level. Kinda stupid if you ask me, that's what level requirements are supposed to be for, but eh. - [[User:Mewn|Mewn]] 15:34, 6 November 2007 (CST)
| |
| − | ***We had 6 people in the party running there the level req is 65 i think our party was levels 65-95. We had at least 3 different exp numbers possible more, I guess it could be from the penalty. The monsters there i think are level 100 I think so not sure how the penalty works out 100%. -- [[User:KyTin|KyTin]] 16:21, 6 November 2007 (CST)

| − | ==Star icons== | + | == New template proposals == |
| − | * Following on from the previous icon suggestions, since I have AoI and should be able to do it - instead of something like {{10 stars}} would it be better to take images directly from the game and use them for the star rarities? I find that a better idea because the 10-12* and 13-15* colours in particular do not go well with a white background. - [[User:Mewn|Mewn]] 16:16, 4 October 2007 (BST)
| + | I'd like to formally propose the following templates for use with our articles on weapons, line shields and units. |
| − | ** The stars taken from the game take up a lot more space; and might also prove to be tricky to get right since they're anti-aliased. We may be better off with hand-drawn stars; could just grab the ones we have now and draw a black border around them or so. [[User:Au+|Au+]] 18:37, 4 October 2007 (BST) | + | * [[Template:Weapon stats test]] |
| − | *** Black borders sound ugleh. How well do the game rips shrink? That definitely sound preferable if done right. - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 18:49, 4 October 2007 (BST) | + | * [[Template:Weapon synth board]] |
| − | * Hey, Mewn? Let's give it a shot. When you get a chance, could you upload one star of each color? We can turn them into templates to see how they look and go from there. ;) - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 13:03, 4 November 2007 (CST) | + | * [[Template:Weapon synth board (Kubara)]] |
| − | * Thanks to Mewn, we now have our new batch of star icons. (See [[Alteratsu Cauda]] for an example of their use.) Anyone have any objections to templatizing them and putting them to use across the site? - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 23:08, 4 November 2007 (CST) | + | * [[Template:LS stats]] |
| − | * Seems like there are no real objections. I'll do the templates. - [[User:Mewn|Mewn]] 15:35, 5 November 2007 (CST) | + | * [[Template:LS synth]] |
| − | * I know this is a little late but if anyone is interested I'll try my hand at making a set of star icons that match the rips as closely as possible.[[User:Propagandist|Propagandist]] 00:47, 6 November 2007 (CST) | + | * [[Template:Grinding info test]] |
| − | ** Here is what I came up with. [[Image:ExampleStars.png]] Each star is currently 18px square. Let me know if there are any changes to be made. I made the background transparent so we don't get the grey background. If you like them, I'll split them into separate star graphics for each color. On another somewhat related note, I was thinking about trying to get the 13-15 stars to animate similarly to the way the do in the game (of course I haven't actually seen what that looks like). Any thoughts on that? [[User:Propagandist|Propagandist]] 03:27, 6 November 2007 (CST) | + | * [[Template:Pricing info test]] |
| − | ** I updated the star graphic so they are 16px square. Let me know if they look okay.[[User:Propagandist|Propagandist]] 14:23, 6 November 2007 (CST)
| + | * [[Template:Unit stats]] |
| − | *** Perfect! - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 14:28, 6 November 2007 (CST)
| + | And as an example, the [[Bow Genshi]] article is using all applicable templates. Going by the ideas that have been thrown around here and with the help of numerous people, these templates have been designed based on the idea of allowing as much automation as possible. Stat tables will update their layout depending on what type of weapon it's for. Where feasible, material quantities and types can be determined by an item's manufacturer and rarity and sell prices for items can be calculated with a simple equation using the item's buy price (when entered). The grinding info table has been updated to allow a single template to change based on the weapon type it's being used for. For example, identifying a table for an RCSM will change the attack variable to Tech. while the values for PP will all be filled in with hyphens.<br/> |
| − | * I can't say I'm a fan of rectangular grey blocks. Otherwise, lookin' fine. - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 02:53, 6 November 2007 (CST) | + | So what do you guys think? - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 10:25, 18 April 2008 (CDT) |
| − | * Excellent, Propagandist! Love the idea of the stars from 13-15 being animated, too. ;) The only suggestion I can make would be to maybe scale these down just a little bit, probably to about the size of the stars we're using now. The images now are 18px tall, but when I cropped them, I left 1px of gray space on all sides, so the stars are only 16px tall. - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 06:32, 6 November 2007 (CST) | + | * I like the idea, but to be absolutely honest, these things confuse the hell out of me. That said, I'm sure I could figure them out if I needed to use them/had the time to look at the parameters more closely. --[[User:Qwerty|Qwerty]] 16:57, 18 April 2008 (CDT) |
| − | * They do look really good. I wanted to get rid of the grey background myself but I don't really have the talent to do it, not being particularly graphics-savvy. The idea of the 13th-15th stars being animated is cool as well, from memory they glow from a golden-browny colour to light cream (almost white), but it might be better to wait until AoI is released so you can see for yourself. - [[User:Mewn|Mewn]] 11:43, 6 November 2007 (CST)
| + | ** Some of those pages I need to go back over and expand on the parameter values and what to do with them. That should maybe clear some things up. :) - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 17:58, 18 April 2008 (CDT) |
| | + | * It'll be hell to convert all pages but that's a pretty nice work. [[User:Essen|Essen]] 16:59, 18 April 2008 (CDT) |
| | + | ** If we go with them, we could always just use them for any new pages that we create and then work our way back over older articles and make conversions at our leisure. I wouldn't see much rush since aesthetically everything is pretty much the same. (A few small changes, but nothing that really sticks out.) And thanks again for the help. You helped introduce me to some awesome template functions that I've had a lot of fun playing with. XD - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 17:58, 18 April 2008 (CDT) |
| | + | * Holy whoa. I love these! - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 18:52, 19 April 2008 (CDT) |
| | + | * Cool, so I take it no major objections or anything. I'd like to start using these to work on some more weapon/line shield pages, so I think I'm going to move some over from the "test" name and commence conversion. (Normally I'm not too eager to work on the weapons pages since they can be quite time consuming, but with the tests I did with these, I found myself flying right through them.) - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 21:41, 21 April 2008 (CDT) |
| | | | |
| − | ==Element colours== | + | == User Page Guidelines == |
| − | * Similar to below suggestion, why not standardise element colour (where necessary, if anywhere) to that of the colour used in the weapon palette, PA menu, etc.? - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 08:39, 29 September 2007 (BST)
| |
| − | ** Agreed. I'll work on that after while (going to work with the weapons icons first), and we can keep adjusting things where necessary until we have the set of colors we like best. - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 04:49, 30 September 2007 (BST)
| |
| − | *** It doesn't help the wiki any, really, but if the white part of all the weapon icons was made transparent, people could use cellpadding=0 and a background color in a table to display a weapon of a particular element. - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 07:45, 1 October 2007 (BST)
| |
| | | | |
| − | ==Weapon icons==
| + | I'm still supportive of the user pages being open to what a person wants to put on it, but I have a few suggestions for possible requirements. One is that user pages shouldn't be categorized. This includes categories that don't and do exist. The others mostly concern links. If a user is going to link to a page, it should either exist or at least have a consistant spelling with a page that should exist (but hasn't been created yet). If the page has had it's link changed (or is different because of confirmed localization) and they know, they should update accordingly. Well...basically they should be aware of what's in red on their page and see if any of it is justified. If not, they should either correct the spelling or drop the link. It's going to become more and more of a problem for people working through the wanted pages. I've come upon countless situations myself where either something that's being linked shouldn't ever exist or is spelled wrong. It wouldn't matter much, but it would make it far easier to keep things clean and figure out what's needed instead of trying to sort through the current mess. [[User:S-T-H|S-T-H]] 03:38, 15 July 2008 (CDT) |
| − | * What do you guys think about using the in-game icons for weapon categories in the weapon stats tables instead of the typed out name? I figure in the cases of names like ''double saber'' and ''grenade'', it would greatly reduce the amount that the first column is stretched out (as well as get rid of any double spaced cells). We could always do vector drawings of the icons, or just get nice shots of them from the game itself. Or, we could just use the ones SonicTeam put up on their new ''PSU'' site. - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 19:00, 28 September 2007 (BST)
| + | * I agree with your points but in the case of the links I wonder if a redirect wouldn't just do the job? It's going to be difficult to keep an eye on everyone linking to things on their user page. On another note, I wonder if we should consider making a welcome template to put on people's userpages after they make their first edit. It can have stuff like 'Don't make a billion consecutive edits' (since people seem to miss that, or ignore it) and other pointers. Thoughts (and sorry if I'm hijacking this, STH)? - [[User:Mewn|Mewn]] 15:33, 20 July 2008 (CDT) |
| − | * That sounds good to me. The icons are generally easy enough to recognize. Can images be made to link to articles? If they can't, that would present a problem, but otherwise I'm fine with it. - [[User:Mewn|Mewn]] 00:13, 29 September 2007 (BST) | + | ** If you go to [[Special:Wantedpages]] you might be able to see better what I mean. Not counting the AOTI and PSP stuff that now appears at the end, the farther in you get the more nonsense you'll probably see. I have no problem with redirecting to obvious things, even though I wouldn't want too many redirects and that stuff usually redirects properly anyway (ie why redirect to a one off that's obviously wrong). The stuff that is an issue are things that are linked for no apparent reason whatsoever. It actually wouldn't be very difficult keeping track as long as Wanted Pages gets cleaned up. As for the welcome template I do agree. Oddly enough I think it was Amaury that brought something like that up in the forums. I'm guessing this would be something automatic? The only real reason I'm bringing this up is that Wanted Pages has been quite useful and can even be more useful in the future. It's just that it needs to be cleaned up in a way that isn't possible for most users (since it involves user pages). The only other solution I see is somehow excluding user pages from having an effect on what pages are listed as needing to be created. Maybe the search filter options could somehow be added to more special pages (so that it would be possible to see what's needed for psp or aoti pages specifically as well). [[User:S-T-H|S-T-H]] 20:47, 20 July 2008 (CDT) |
| − | ** I'm fairly certain that we can make images link to other articles. I'll look into it. - [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 04:50, 30 September 2007 (BST) | + | * Hm, yeah I see what you mean about the wanted page. And no, the template wouldn't be automatic, I don't think there's a way to do it automatically without upgrading our mediawiki or installing an extension. - [[User:Mewn|Mewn]] 05:33, 21 July 2008 (CDT) |
| − | ** Sounds like a very good idea. I actually intended to do this at some point, but then forgot. I see no reason why pictures from the game would not work. --[[User:Qwerty|Qwerty]] 00:18, 29 September 2007 (BST) | |
| | | | |
| − | ==Enemy page template== | + | == Use of wiki templates == |
| − | * I'm happy with the [[User:Mewn/Monster_Template|enemy template]] now, so I'd like to propose it formally. If there's to be a vote, I'll let Espio handle it, heheh. Anyway, final discussion, opinions, any tulips and/or roses, etc. - [[User:Mewn|Mewn]] 18:12, 14 September 2007 (BST)
| + | Pre-made templates should always be used to save space and make writing articles easier. The following table compiles all templates that are currently in use at the PSUPedia and displays their effects to the right. |
| − | ** Looks good to me; I could only suggest minor tweaks, such as the use of icons in place of ''leader boosts'', ''shoe boosts'' and the like in the ''boosts'' column. I think we actually already have the appropriate icons for those somewhere on the site. If anyone suggests a unique alternate proposal, we'll put things to a vote. Otherwise, I think we should go with this and make any minor changes if necessary. Objections from anyone? [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 19:40, 14 September 2007 (BST)
| |
| − | * That can be easily done. I'll change the icons now. Seems better than 'shoe boosts' which has never seemed right to me anyway. - [[User:Mewn|Mewn]] 20:15, 14 September 2007 (BST)
| |
| − | ** Sweet. That looks great! :D [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 20:25, 14 September 2007 (BST)
| |
| | | | |
| − | * Ok, if there are no more comments, or objections or suggestions or whatever, by the time I check this site tomorrow morning (probably about 11AM GMT), I feel it should become the template as I'd like to start making a few articles with it. Alkaven is working on a few templates that seem fine so far, so hopefully we'll be able to use them (and if they aren't ready, it can always be implemented a bit later). - [[User:Mewn|Mewn]] 21:48, 15 September 2007 (BST)
| + | Aside from these templates, numerous larger templates have been created for use within articles for stat and information tables. A list of these can be found [[The_PSUPedia:Article_templates|here]]. |
| | | | |
| − | ==Unit page template== | + | == New makeup for manual of style icons == |
| − | * After Alkaven started a new page for [[Cara / Force]], I remembered that we hadn't finalized a standard template for the unit pages. There was discussion going on, but that kind of trailed off. So, let's finish this off, right? I'm going to start a poll with the two formats we have ([[Orpad / Guard |this one]] and [[Cara / Mind |this one]]), but if anyone else has any other designs in mind, please let us know. [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 00:33, 11 September 2007 (BST)
| + | You have the choice which is better yours or mine :) I won't edit anything big at the "front pages". |
| | + | * I think it looks good. I don't think you should worry too much about changing things like layout when it really doesn't affect the content, so cutting the charts into sections for space is probably fine. Remember to sign your comments too. --[[User:S-T-H|S-T-H]] 11:49, 22 November 2009 (UTC) |

| − | ==Slight modifications to the weapon template?==
| + | {| |
| − | * There was mention a while back about a few minor things on the weapon template that might be altered. I can't seem to find where it was, however. Anyway, one thing I was wondering about is the drop box. In the Deva-zashi template given on our example page, ''monter'' is used, when, well... not everything these items can drop from should be classified as such. (I believe I brought up the example of there being newman, beast and CAST enemies in-game that aren't exactly monsters since they aren't infected by the SEED-Virus or something. They're simply acting out of their own zeal and free will.) Anyway, I'd like to suggest changing ''monster'' to ''enemy''. I've actually already done that with the weapon pages I've created, but if we decide to keep it as ''monster'', I'll change them back myself. I know this is ridiculously minor, but I felt it needed to be mentioned. <_<; [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 23:40, 8 September 2007 (BST)

| − | ==New line shield table proposal==
| |
| − | * [[User:EspioKaos/Sandbox/Line_shields | Here]] is my proposal for a new line shield table. I took out a number of columns that I felt were unnecessary, such as the element (for ones that can only be a specific element, this can be detailed in individual articles) and the ''Att'', ''Acc'' and ''Tech'' columns, which can also be detailed in individual articles. (I guess these are the "hidden" stats from set bonuses and line shields made for specific battle types?) Thoughts? [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 04:19, 7 September 2007 (BST)
| |
| − | ** Erm... anyone? <_<; [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 06:24, 8 September 2007 (BST)
| |
| − | *** Personally I consider the element - both NPC and synth limitation - to be one of the defining characteristics of a Line Shield. The Att./Acc./Tech. values not so much, but still directly useful information when looking up a table of Line Shields. I do however like the condensing of slots a lot! As for the comments, I believe set bonuses (with link - nice one) and Type limitations should be the focus, but not drop locations for every other shield that "might not be easy to find". - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 11:30, 8 September 2007 (BST)
| |
| − | *** I have to agree with Mira on the element, it's an important part of the data. I too like the way you've done the Slots. The stuff such as bonuses to Att and Acc can be detailed in the Comments column. Other than that I think it looks better than the current table. - [[User:Mewn|Mewn]] 16:35, 8 September 2007 (BST)
| |
| − | **** OK, check out my second table. I added the element column back in (also created temporary templates for each element color -- we can fine-tune the actual colors later). What I'm going for is using the neutral green to identify a line shield that can be synthesized with any element you want. Any line shields that can only be one specific element will have that element listed. [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 16:38, 8 September 2007 (BST)
| |
| − | **** That looks fine to me, certainly less cluttered than the other table. - [[User:Mewn|Mewn]] 18:33, 8 September 2007 (BST)
| |
| − | ***** "What I'm going for is using the neutral green to identify a line shield that can be synthesized with any element you want." -- Actually, that was already the case. - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 23:59, 8 September 2007 (BST)

| − | ******* Not sure what your line (no pun intended) of reasoning was, but mine was that only non-limited shields were '''capable''' of being green. - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 02:51, 11 September 2007 (BST)

| − | ==Weapon Type Names==
| |
| − | * No objection, but just to clarify - Mewn's renaming of "Bows" to "Longbows" and "Grenade Launchers" to "Grenades" :| is to fit in with the weapon types listed at the "License" missions, right? - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 23:38, 4 September 2007 (BST)

| − | * Yes, you're right. I feel we should maintain some consistency, and Throwing Blades already got renamed to Cards by Espio half a month ago. I suppose I should point out that the Bullet License missions uses both 'Longbow' and 'Long Bow', but since I've never seen it spelled with a space, I assumed the former was the correct term and the latter was a typo. - [[User:Mewn|Mewn]] 23:57, 4 September 2007 (BST)

| − | ==Misc. item tables==
| |
| − | * I've been [http://psupedia.info/My_Room_Accessories#Remodeling_tickets playing around] with what our possible template for non-stat-based items could look like. Just like with the weapon tables, I've categorized each remodeling ticket by its star rating, followed by name. The next column lists prices, which is more or less filler. Same thing goes with the description column. The version column is needed since we already know that there will be ''AotI''-exclusive tickets. The comments column I kept and used just like with the weapons. Personally, I'd like to stick with keeping information like the item description and price within individual item pages, but without that stuff in this table, everything looks so thin and bare. Any ideas? [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 05:37, 25 August 2007 (BST)

| − | ==Capitalization==
| |
| − | * I'd like to get a little discussion going on [http://psupedia.info/Manual_of_Style#Capitalization_.28pending.29 this subject]. While I've listed most "odd" instances of capitalization in-game (''TECHNICs'', ''CASTs'', ''GUARDIANS Colony'', etc.), I think we should talk about how we'll capitalize things like healing item names (should they be considered proper nouns?). Thoughts, opinions? [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 17:17, 21 August 2007 (BST)
| |
| − | ** I think item names should be capitalized as proper nouns, if for no other reason than it looks better to me. - [[User:Mewn|Mewn]] 17:34, 21 August 2007 (BST)
| |
| − | *** I've been torn between both sides for a while, but after looking at how odd things like ''scape doll'' and ''moon atomizer'' look without capitals, I've found myself leaning more toward considering them proper nouns. Of course, I still think that individual item categories (recovery items, shotguns, line shields, etc.) should not be considered proper, and thus should not be capitalized. [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 18:48, 21 August 2007 (BST)
| |
| − | * On the recent capitalization swapping of the line shield and photon arts sections, I think it should be pointed out that both are considered standard nouns in-game, so no special capitalization is required. For example, check out the line shield descriptions. You'll see "a mass-produced ''line shield''" or "a super high-end, custom-made ''line shield''" (man, they really like their hyphenated words). On photon arts, I'm fairly certain that the menus do not capitalize the word, but I'll have to double-check that next time I play. [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 18:01, 8 September 2007 (BST)
| |
| − | ** I originally decapitalised Line Shields to Line shields, and Mewn changed Photon Arts to Photon arts, but you will find numerous places - particularly the manual - that deliberately capitalise both. The same applies to Photon Fortune, by the way. You are right though - the game does not capitalise it in that menu, but AFAIK all menus are "first letter is capital, all the rest are lower" so I'll question the weight of that. - [[User:Miraglyth|Miraglyth]] 00:04, 9 September 2007 (BST)
| |
| − | *** Heh, it's times like these that I wish English were like Japanese with not having to deal with capitalization. Either that, or SEGA had been consistent with it. XD Anyway, I just checked the in-game tutorial, and it recognizes photon arts as a standard noun with no special caps. o_o [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 00:20, 9 September 2007 (BST)

| − | (Copied from the scape doll talk page.) I really hate questioning something that we're trying to set as a standard, but I think this might be a valid point. While working on the scape doll's board info, I realized that the rarity of the board and the rarity of the item are different. While I don't think this is a common occurrence, I think we should address it before we begin a mass implementation of synth board tables, especially since the board rarity is never mentioned anywhere. I suggest changing the title of the table to the board name and then changing the current board name cell to indicate rarity. Like so:

By nature, all weapons require four (Photons, Ores, Metals, Wood) and some line shields require four (Photons, Ores, Materials, sometimes event drops). Then there are Food and Item boards which take two (Natural Materials, Chemicals), Decoration boards which take two (Special Materials, Wood) and finally Grinder / Material Upgrade boards which use just one (Grinder bases and the materials, respectively).

| − | ** Having come back to this after a couple of weeks, the answer seems pretty simple: Given that Line Shields sometimes have an "event" material (the field for which could be left blank for the rest), all synthesis categories require either 1 (Grinders), 2 (Decos, Items, Food) or 4 (Weapons, Line Shields) materials. This is very friendly to the "Horizontal Item" layout above as 4 is divisible by 1, 2 and 4 hence colspan would work nicely. Observe:

| − | ** That does work very nicely. I like it! Perhaps ''details'' and ''materials'' could be put in bold, however. I think that might look even better. [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 03:22, 11 September 2007 (BST)

| − | * '''Proposal #2''' - Basically, it's the same thing as the first proposal, however open space has been condensed in the stats table (at the suggestion of Beatrix) and the redundant ''unit'' descriptor in the pricing table has been removed.

| − | ** Heh, well I just wanted to make it official. Also, it leaves the floor open for suggestions. Of course, whether or not we see anything else is a different story. To be honest, though, maybe a vote isn't necessary on all aspects of standardization. Perhaps just the ones where multiple, independently unique ideas are presented should be voted on?

| − | ** Neither of these are complete templates if they don't offer all of the possible fields. Unless you are just talking about how it should look and not creating an actual template (potentially for each type of unit), these won't work because they don't have fields for each of the possible boosts (END/ATA/ATP/EVA/DFP/TECH/MENT). --[[User:JustTrio|JustTrio]] 15:15, 14 September 2007 (BST)
| |
| − | ** I doubt these are actual templates in the sense of there being a Template:Unit or whatever. It's just how it should look, and manually editing it for the appropriate stat boosts is easy, and better than having every stat for every unit when clearly individual units don't boost even half of them. - [[User:Mewn|Mewn]] 15:22, 14 September 2007 (BST)
| |
| − | *** Exactly. Each type of unit will have the appropriate fields in its article. [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 15:37, 14 September 2007 (BST)
| |
| − | * '''Proposal #2''' - Any reason we aren't creating templates any more? --[[User:JustTrio|JustTrio]] 11:18, 16 September 2007 (BST)
| |
| − | ** There's no reason we can't, as can be seen by the recently created enemy profile template. It would be a great time-saver. Personally, I just need to learn how to make the larger templates. XD [[User:EspioKaos|EspioKaos]] 16:21, 16 September 2007 (BST)

To help save space and make browsing this page easier, older discussions will be archived here.
I'd like to formally propose the following templates for use with our articles on weapons, line shields and units.
I'm still supportive of the user pages being open to what a person wants to put on it, but I have a few suggestions for possible requirements. One is that user pages shouldn't be categorized. This includes categories that don't and do exist. The others mostly concern links. If a user is going to link to a page, it should either exist or at least have a consistant spelling with a page that should exist (but hasn't been created yet). If the page has had it's link changed (or is different because of confirmed localization) and they know, they should update accordingly. Well...basically they should be aware of what's in red on their page and see if any of it is justified. If not, they should either correct the spelling or drop the link. It's going to become more and more of a problem for people working through the wanted pages. I've come upon countless situations myself where either something that's being linked shouldn't ever exist or is spelled wrong. It wouldn't matter much, but it would make it far easier to keep things clean and figure out what's needed instead of trying to sort through the current mess. S-T-H 03:38, 15 July 2008 (CDT)
Pre-made templates should always be used to save space and make writing articles easier. The following table compiles all templates that are currently in use at the PSUPedia and displays their effects to the right.
Aside from these templates, numerous larger templates have been created for use within articles for stat and information tables. A list of these can be found here.
You have the choice which is better yours or mine :) I won't edit anything big at the "front pages".
