Could use some imput if your could

In articles like that, I've tried to incorporate the image into that infobox. Basically ones like File:(insert image here) or Image:(insert image here), but nothing. Any ideas? Antiyonder (talk) 14:16, 14 April 2014 (CDT)

--It's the way the template is set up; you can adjust the spaces and change what goes where, but it won't effect how it's presented unfortunately. Whomever designed it wanted to keep the pictures and information separate, so it might be easier to select an alternative template instead. Wish I had more to say on the matter, but its just a design flaw.User:Follower_of_Light 15:25, 14 April 2014 (CDT)

Merchant rejoining in all versions?

Now, when you say that the merchant in Dragon Quest III rejoins in all versions, are you merely talking about all remakes? Cause I do know for sure that he/she remains jailed for the rest of the original NES version. Antiyonder (talk) 20:45, 28 May 2014 (CDT)

...I could have swarm that mustachio'd dolt rejoined in the nes version. My bad. But if you or anyone else finds a goof in one of my edits or thinks something is up, by all means feel free to change it. I know a lot of wikimedia is totalitarian about, well....everything, but this place is way more chill. We're like the Jimmy Buffet of Wikis that way.

それはちょうど小さなことだ

Main Page Updates

I've added some news about the mobile releases on the main page. I've also unprotected that page, so you and others can make updates if you want to. I haven't done a good job of keeping things up to date recently, so feel free to go for it. If we end up having vandalism problems, we may have to work on an alternative. --FlyingRagnar (talk) 01:24, 6 December 2014 (CST)

Hi, thank you for your help. Please could you activate interwiki here? Thank you!! We have so much to do :) -- Lycon 08:48, 17 February 2015 (CST)

I've contacted flyingragnar about enabling the feature, so with any luck he'll do so shortly!(Follower of Light (talk) 11:22, 18 February 2015 (CST))

Thank you! -- Lycon 08:24, 20 February 2015 (CST)

Re: Great start

Salut! And thanks for welcoming me at the wiki. Thank you for liking the templates as well. Dragon Quest is one of my favorite games and would like to help out with modernizing the wiki. I want to give the entire wiki a great layout and make it feel very original along with its NIWA and SEIWA affiliates. If you would like to help out or have any ideas to share feel free, and if I need help I will tell you. By the way, thanks for stopping that random vandal from last week :).

Hmm... If you are talking about the content in the tabber, then I have an idea for it, but further... I do not know what you actually mean, sorry. For the monster infoboxes, I can probably fix that within one or two days (only if the codes can give me a chance to have what I want). So the monster infobox is not a problem. I will await what you actually mean about showing multiple versions of equipment lists, spells etc. because I see a tabber holding such content. Thanks. IceKidd ^{(Local Userpage ⁝ Local Talk)} 09:36, 25 September 2015 (CDT)

Oh, like that. That's possible. IceKidd ^{(Local Userpage ⁝ Local Talk)} 02:26, 1 October 2015 (CDT)

Royal Missive?

So I'm guessing this is what the Royal Scroll is called now? Does the Mobile version of Dragon Quest IV use that name now? Antiyonder (talk) 17:18, 5 October 2015 (CDT)

Will check IV when I get to that point. Here's the list of name changes for III http://www.woodus.com/den/games/dq3andios/namechanges.php Will fix more when I get an actual chance to edit again, probably just throw up a disambiguation page if it calls for it (Follower of Light (talk) 10:45, 6 October 2015 (CDT))

Regarding uploads...

Is there a page to provide a general request for uploads (One such example for DQ IV that you may not have unless you have access to the Japanese Playstation port and can read the language enough to play)? Antiyonder (talk) 21:36, 14 November 2015 (CST)

Unfortunately I've got no clue if such a method exists; what I've been doing is using the scanned guide books and ripping the images from those to fill in the gaps and make the items/equipment pages more in-line with VIII's. I know the assorted fan pages and tumblr accounts have some of the japanese-only images, so browsing around there might be your best bet. If you have any in particular you really want I can double check the Brady guides and see if it's in there for you (Follower of Light (talk) 14:41, 15 November 2015 (CST))

Well, I could at the very least benefit with the various images for IV's version of Immigrant Town and though I won't likely get to it until next year (I'm actually planning to do a playthrough of my brother's copy of VIII for the PS2 and make edits accordingly) the Fungeon, Vault of Vrenor (especially the added portion for the Lightning Staff) and the Pinnacle Chapel in relations to the DS port. If doable, it would be nice to have a more separate image for both Mamon and Mamon Mine as it is before & after the monster meeting in Diabolic Hall. Especially as the before image I have also includes the town, whereas I think it would be redundant if I had the appropriate pic for it. Antiyonder (talk) 19:30, 15 November 2015 (CST)

I don't think immigrant town artwork exists, not unless some was made for 7's remake. For the fungeon and vault, do you mean dungeon maps? If so I can rip the ones Brady made for you. For the Mamon issue we could just merge the pages; I mean they are directly connected after all. (Follower of Light (talk) 10:48, 16 November 2015 (CST))

Actually, I was going to just say that any images from the guide if any would do for Immigrant Town if they had an in-game rendering of the map if no official artwork is present. And yeah, the dungeon maps for Fungeon and Vault were what I was requesting, so cool. As for Mamon, I suggested it to FlyingRagner, but he suggested Mamon's town and mine remain separate. Antiyonder (talk) 13:48, 16 November 2015 (CST)

Just for an opinion on the side.

While I figured it relevant enough, my creating of the article for Captain N: The Game Master was pretty much an indulgence on my part. That said, how well together would you say it is (i.e. format, grammar)? Character section in particular was made to be similar to Itadaki Street' Character section.

Yay

I'm not alone here anymore! - icysugarspike (talk) 13:17, 8 May 2016 (CDT)

I can't edit as frequently as I'd like, but I'm trying to help out with what I can. Thanks again for uploading all of those amazing equipment and item images--they're exactly what this place needed! Just remember to take breaks now and again so you don't get burned out!(Follower of Light (talk) 10:01, 11 May 2016 (CDT))

Addendum to what I said before: is there anything in particular you'd like some help with? Just let me know how I can pitch in and I'll give it my all (Follower of Light (talk) 17:41, 17 May 2016 (CDT))

I'm an obsessive type, so I don't get burned out (too much), but thanks for the concern. The scans in question come from the original Famicom guides for I-IV and the Super Famicom guide for V. Don't have VI yet, and the VIII enemy images I'm currently working on come from the VIII guide. I'll try and upload the cover images of them (the guides) sometime. Surely, they have a place here somewhere on this wiki. - icysugarspike (talk) 17:43, 20 May 2016 (CDT)
Computer's not booting up. Says something's wrong with the startup disk. Still here, just won't be uploading anything for a while. This came in the mail, too, which makes it more frustrating. - icysugarspike (talk) 07:54, 25 May 2016 (CDT)

That's a major bummer, but congratulations for such a sweet find! Consider this your vacation period, ha ha. (Follower of Light (talk) 23:59, 31 May 2016 (CDT))
