First Note

I had been looking into making something like this and then I found your project. This is awesome! I have been playing DW/DQ since I got my copy from Nintendo Power :D I use wikipedia all of the time but this is the first time I've ever created content so please feel free to let me know if I am doing anything wrong. I wasn't sure if this is even where I am supposed to leave a note. Geminate

cite.php

Hi, I'm new here, and I was hoping to clean up some of the pages. Do you think you could possibly install the extension cite.php? It really makes pages with a lot of references look nicer, like Dragon Quest IX for example. It's used extensively on Wikipedia, so it is not likely to break your wiki at all. --Null Set 02:22, 3 March 2010 (EST)

Trouble logging in

It says I am logged in but it won't let me make any edits, giving me this error. edit: Of course as soon as I go to mention it, it stops happening... --Null Set 14:13, 3 March 2010 (EST)

Wiki Name

Yeah, I think Dragon Quest Wiki is what we should go with for now. Mediawiki has a magic word for the name of the wiki, so in the future if you use {{SITENAME}}, it will fill in the current name for you.

I also added a bunch of extensions this morning which I think will be useful in the future. You can see them all at Special:Version. --FlyingRagnar 11:18, 18 October 2010 (CDT)

A Few Notes

Hey Zenithian, I wanted to mention a few things. Looks like most of the members from Wikia have come over. This is really cool. I was worried that many might not. Melios and Shinitenshi (sp?) are both good editors that have done a lot in the last few months. PantheonSasuke was an admin over on Wikia. I would consider making him and admin over as well. He is very knowledgeable about all of the monsters and did a lot of file renaming, etc. I think normal users can only do a limited number of file/page renames within a certain amount of time.

Also, I think the import caused a big jump in the job queue for the wiki. You can see it on the Special:Statistics page. It has been steadily going down, as one is processed each time a page is requested by someone. If you notice that any categories are not quite up to date, that might be the reason, as it takes mediawiki a little while to update all of the links etc. --FlyingRagnar 09:23, 29 October 2010 (CDT)

New Enemy Template

Hello Zenitihian. I am proposing a revamp to the current enemy template.

Honestly, I think the current template is quite ugly. It's at a weird angle, it's intruding on pages, and it doesn't show information in an attractive and organized way as well as it could. I tried to make a suitable replacement here.

You may notice that this will clog up space in pages with multiple templates and appearances. That's alright, I have a solution to that too. I would gladly break up the pages, making a separate page for each appearance and having the existing page a sort of "parent" page, linking and describing all individual entities. I would, again, gladly do all this myself. It's a big workload, but I have no life. :P

So, what do you think? I hope this doesn't bother or irritate you, especially my dreams of grandeur. Thank you for your time. --Silversey シルバーロック 21:03, 10 December 2010 (CST)

Zenithian, I received your email. I have no issue with modifying the enemy/monster info template. I would recommend simply making edits to the existing enemy template since that would be much easier than changing 500 existing usages.

However, I do not support the idea of breaking all enemies into multiple page or subpages. For Slime alone, there would need to be like 27 separate pages. When I created the enemy template, I added the show/hide mechanism to try to keep the tables from making the pages gigantically long. However, now they do kinda obscure the pages they appear on. I am open to any better ideas for displaying monster info. Maybe we should look around at some other RPG wikis for ideas? --FlyingRagnar 09:25, 14 December 2010 (CST)

I'm in agreement about keeping it to one article per monster; I should have included that in the e-mail or referenced my comment on SilverCrono's talk page. I'll go ahead and update the template; all the fields are the same between the two so there's nothing else to change.

I'd also like to update the Template:CharacterSpellList to include fields for MP, and maybe kana/romanji and a brief description, and make it collapsible, though I may need your help in redesigning it. zenithian 09:52, 14 December 2010 (CST)

Sofubi Figures

Hey Zenithian, is there a specific place where you have gotten your Sofubi figures? I was thinking about reserving a copy of Dragon Quest VI from gamestop, but that plush slime looks pretty lame. I wish they provided more items in the U.S. Some of those figures look really cool. --FlyingRagnar 22:35, 8 February 2011 (CST)

Warrior World

Haha, those Warrior World scans are nice! I found one of those a few months ago and meant to scan it. I seem to have misplaced it again. Do you have more of those to add? The one I have talked about how Dragon Quest V was "definitely" coming to America and about the delays, etc. --FlyingRagnar 13:47, 21 October 2011 (CDT)
