NIWA

Shouldn't we add something about the NIWA here? - _ZeldaMan ^{(PostboxStatus)} 14:02, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

'Tis Done. Interwiki linking and more NIWA implementation are still to come though. :) -Melchizedek  ^talk 23:05, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Categories on the Main Page

Active editors and Metroid fans. On the main navigation bar of the main page there is room for 8 categories, which are alreay filled up with 'Games', 'Enemies', 'Spacecrafts' etc: Which categories do you guys think should be there? Ones that are significant to Metroid and are coming along strongly here at the wiki would be the obvious choices. -Melchizedek  ^talk 23:11, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Most of the categories on the main page sound good, I would recommend replacing the Power Suit category with the Suits category though. I'd also recommend the weapons category for the main page. Metroidking 23:17, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Have changed 'Power Suits' to 'Suits'. Which one would you suggest to remove if weapons was to be added?-Melchizedek  ^talk 23:21, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Let's call them 'Featured categories'. ;)-Melchizedek  ^talk 23:37, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

OK. I also created a technology category and placed weapons, space ships, and suits inside it. You can put that on the main page instead. I am sorry I didn't think about this until now. Metroidking 23:42, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

So that would lead to removing two and adding one, so we'd need another new one. But, I think technology might be a bit blaze for up there. Do people really know what they're wanting in technology, compared to a weapons, suits or spacecrafts category? It doesn't seem specific enough to me. -Melchizedek  ^talk 23:49, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

You have a point on that one. To answer you question about which one to replace with weapons then, I'd say Substances. Metroidking 23:53, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Sounds good. Substances always seemed a bit odd to me. Main page is looking much better now. :)-Melchizedek  ^talk 23:56, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Maybe we can move the Spacecrafts category to a Vehicle category? There aren't much land-based vehicles in the Metroid series, but it still makes sense to make it different. - _ZeldaMan ^{(PostboxStatus)} 00:29. 12 June 2010 (UTC)

I'm thinking the Technology category is enough for that. There's no need to have unnecessary categories, especially since they're a mess now lol. --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}} 00:35, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

We originally had the vehicles category there instead of the spacecrafts one. I'm rather indifferent either way myself. -Melchizedek  ^talk 00:42, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

I guess I wasn't here then. No need to change, in this case. - _ZeldaMan ^{(PostboxStatus)} 00:53, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, that was pretty early on. The categories on the main page are much better than they were now. -Melchizedek  ^talk 01:03, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

Vandal's articles

For when the vandal created actual Metroid articles and vandalized them, I request that you don't delete them just yet. Instead, let me update the articles to a good quality so no time and restores would be wasted by deleting them. I'll update this section when I'm finished creating them. - _ZeldaMan ^{(PostboxStatus)} 02:00, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
