| == I've got a question, ==
| |
| | |
| Why is this on the most viewed pages? {{:User:Malake256/sig}} 02:18, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
| |
| :Because It's been viewed 8,228 times :P {{User:TheSuperZeldaMan/sig}} 02:21, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

| ==Just wondering,==
| |
| | |
| Is there some way to browse images that have already been uploaded? Like, for example, if I wanted a picture of a [[Hunter Metroid]], is there a way to tell if someone has already uploaded such a picture without knowing the specific file name? If this is somehow obvious and I am missing something, just let me know, but the Help only tells how to upload new images, not browse ones already there. If there are images that can be used, I'd rather use them than uploading brand new ones. --[[User:Nintendbob|Nintendbob]] 15:37, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

| :Go to the category to which a Hunter Metroid would fall under. Usually, such an image would already be added to the page, but occasionally people upload images before the page is created and an unused image just sits there. Head on over to [[Special:SpecialPages]] to find an array of lists that may be useful. More specifically, go [[Special:UncategorizedFiles|here]] to look at uncategorized files which you wouldn't find under any category. [[Special:UnusedFiles|There]] to go to files that are unused, that is, they don't appear on any page. And [[Special:Categories|there]] to view all categories. [[:Category:Enemies|The enemies category]] or [[:Category:Metroids|Metroids category]] would be where an image of a Hunter Metroid would be if it existed. Hope some of that helped! {{:User:Malake256/sig}} 17:29, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

| So, Justin Bailey or JUSTIN BAILEY. Same with Bottle Ship. Both are referred to in game as ALL CAPS. But otherwise, they're simply known as lowercase. {{:User:Malake256/sig}} 06:27, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

| == Happy First Birthday Metroid Wiki ==
| |
| | |
| We've officially been online for one year now, so let the celebrations begin. A huge thanks goes to all of our contributors, our staff and to NIWA for their support. Be sure to check out our [[Special:Statistics|statistics page]] for all the stats of what we've achieved in our first year. Here's to a great year and many more to come. Thanks again everyone. {{:User:Melchizedek/sig}} 22:05, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

| ==Hello there!==
| |
| | |
| I'm Fawful117, a newcomer to this wiki, but very good on the Mario wiki! I need to edit my userpage a bit... anyway, what's there to do on this wiki? I assume it's just like the Mario wiki, right?

| :We have some different policies, but the basic premise is the same. As for what you can do, you can edit any particular areas that you are knowledgeable in or just make small corrections like spelling and grammar. {{:User:Metroidking/sig}} 21:54, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

| == New bureaucrats ==
| |
| | |
| After the move, our admin and bcrats got a bit rearranged. I'd like to give one of our current sysops bcrat permissions as well, and would like the community's feedback. We currently have the following sysops:
| |
| * {{user|Embyr 75}}
| |
| * {{user|Malake256}}
| |
| * {{user|Melchizedek}}
| |
| * {{user|Metroidking}}
| |
| * {{user|Nathanial Rumphol-Janc}}
| |
| * {{user|Neo}}
| |
| * {{user|TheSuperZeldaMan}}
| |
| What are everyone's thoughts on who should be our new bcrat? -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] 18:04, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
| |
| :In terms of who helps out and edits for the wiki, I feel that Metroidking does the most to help out and improve. --[[User:Nintendbob|Nintendbob]] 21:32, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
| |
| ::Metroidking definitely for the win on this one, extremely active (unlike how I've been), and a highly valuable and necessary editor to keep Metroid Wiki going round. More thoughts from me are certainly to come, particularly since I'm just now getting back. {{:User:Malake256/sig}} 23:31, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

| :::In my opinion, its Metroidking for many of the same reasons Malake256 posted.[[User:Transdimensionalflux|Transdimensionalflux]] 22:58, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
| |
| ::::Metroidking devotes himself to this wiki. When in the position of nearly permanent hiatus, you're sure to think that "Well, Metroidking's there, he'll work things out." He primarily serves as the backbone of what keeps this wiki going, making sure that everything is precise and perfect to the smallest detail. Considering the small amount of helpers in this wiki, it's clear that Josh will always do the job, because he really cares about it. It doesn't matter if someone's been slacking for months when you have someone like Metroidking around. - {{User:TheSuperZeldaMan/sig}} 03:39, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

| == Interwiki junk ==
| |
| | |
| This story may be long and overly detailed. While I was editing in MarioWiki, I happened to look at their article on Link, and even though he's not a Mario character, I fixed up inaccuracies referring to the Zelda series and went on my way. Logged in again last night, one user was fixing [[mariowiki:Samus Aran|MarioWiki's article on Samus]] for inaccuracy within the Metroid series, apparently because he noticed me doing it, and he was linking to Wikitroid for further info. Another user got in an edit war over whether to link here or Wikitroid, an admin stopped all the action and said that the MarioWiki admins would discuss this. I asked for a list of articles that were specifically not detailed enough to provide good info, and I got an explanation about the whole thing. Regardless of the MarioWiki admins decide, I agree that our articles on the pages that would provide basic background info on Samus are woefully poor; almost all, if not all are stubs, and most don't have complete write-ups for just the in-game sections. This seems to be impairing our ability to provide a source of information for people who are more interested in those topics. I think that I, personally, would like to focus on certain articles that would help provide background information on Samus so that we can be a better source to link to than Wikipedia or Wikitroid. {{User:Bop1996/sig}} 12:29, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

| :Not overly detailed. We've known about the need to expand the more important articles that would be linked to from other NIWA wikis for a while. Unfortunately those said articles are also amongst the hardest to write. Take the Samus article for example, it has to cover every game in the series but also can't seem like a rephrasing of the content that will later be on [[Metroid (series)]]. Would you mind getting a list of the pages that MarioWiki is much more likely to link to? It will help us get a much better idea of which articles to prioritized with expansion. {{:User:Metroidking/sig}} 20:13, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

| ::Hmm, I see what happened on Mario Wiki. Yeah, unfortunately it's been a constant problem on Metroid Wiki, we have detailed information when it comes to less significant articles like [[Vaccine "Metroid"]] or [[Paralyzer]] but somehow leave the [[Samus Aran|most]] [[Chozo|important]] articles naked of info. The only real solution of course is to have better info on our pages. [http://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Samus_Aran&diff=prev&oldid=1064495 This edit] and following edits show what articles we'd really, really need work on. {{:User:Malake256/sig}} 20:34, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

| :::That particular edit war was the epicenter, as for other links out there, there is no set policy on how MarioWiki links to affiliates, apparently, according to one of the admins I asked regarding such a policy, there was a debate about it that ended with an unfinished template being added to a bunch of articles. I believe that most of the articles that seriously need work are in that edit, although almost anything Smash Bros. could possibly be linked here. I believe some trivia references out there link to here, since the Mario series doesn't take itself as seriously as the others... In particular, some WarioWare games link here due to them being based off Metroid stuffs. The edits from the edit history Malaka256 posted are the most important as far as links, as a lot of other wikis probably link there as well. The fact the Vaccine "Metroid" article is better than [[Samus Aran]] or [[Morph Ball]] is not much of an in-wiki problem so much as a problem where we aren't able to provide further reading for users of other wikis. {{User:Bop1996/sig}} 12:29 20 June 2011 (UTC)

| ::::OK, would you mind doing some work on the Corruption section of the Samus article (references and such)? {{:User:Metroidking/sig}} 19:14, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
