Fact-checking resources

Salutations! This is just a courtesy call of sorts to help spread awareness of some very useful websites from across the pacific. These tools ought to help clear up any confusion when it comes to the less documented things. They've helped me out a ton with my contributions, and hopefully they'll be just as useful for you!

General information

http://wikiwiki.jp/dqdic3rd/ Character ages, nicknames, how often monsters appear, developer quotes, etc. Only thing they lack are pictures.

Hard data

http://www7b.biglobe.ne.jp/~dqwiz/ The one most regarded by the gamefaqs crowd. Its ceased updates as of VII's remake, but covers monster resistances, stats, equipment price, you name it.

https://www.d-navi.info/ Absolutely the best resource for IX's data, providing all the calculations for skills and spells, as well as hidden equipment stats.

http://dq-gh.com/ Not quite as detailed as Navi, but they do provide images for most games, and it pays to have additional sources

Transparencies

I must admit it made me a little nervous at first when you started removing the backgrounds of the images I've uploaded, but you're a real professional! - icysugarspike (talk) 14:53, 12 October 2016 (CDT)

I mostly handle images on the wiki. Please, direct your comments to User:Follower of Light. He's a nice guy. - icysugarspike (talk) 16:19, 12 October 2016 (CDT)

Improving the DQIX enemy template

Would you happen to know how to add % boxes to templates? I've got all the legacy boss data for status and element resistances, but the way the template is set up right now I can't add Blunt, Sap, and Decelerate. I hate to have to ask this of you, but I simply don't know how to edit templates(Follower of Light (talk) 14:19, 15 October 2016 (CDT))

Cloak of evasion

Sorry, but could you add the transparency to this image? I uploaded a better image. - icysugarspike (talk) 12:02, 17 December 2016 (CST)

Sure thing, my friend! I took care of it. Feel free to leave me lists of high priority images, and I'll be more than happy to take care of them for you.TheCodingGamer (talk) 13:41, 17 December 2016 (CST)

Thank you! - icysugarspike (talk) 14:03, 17 December 2016 (CST)

Potential request features

I've brought up this idea to Zenithian, but do you have any ideas as to how we can better serve our readers? By this I mean address what people really want to know about Dragon Quest--the staff, development history, cultural impact, things like that. You've been a tremendous help with my monster data, truly, but I fear I might be making the wiki a bit impersonal by focusing on raw data. The problem is I have no way of knowing what the readers would prefer to know about, and any attempts to address that would be like playing blind darts. If you could, would you mind brainstorming from the perspective of a casual reader and decide what you think the best way to allow readers to make requests. No rush or anything, especially considering its Christmas. (Follower of Light (talk) 11:46, 23 December 2016 (CST))
