==IPs editing?==
For the longest time, the main page has said that this is a Metroid wiki that "anyone can edit." But everytime I've tried to edit as an IP, it says only users can edit. One of these two things should be changed. [[User:JamesHeart123|JamesHeart123]] ([[User talk:JamesHeart123|talk]]) 04:18, 4 July 2013 (UTC)
 
: IPs used to be able to edit but spambots can become unbearable. I liked it better when IPs could edit as well. I can't change whether or not IPs can edit but i can change the text, what should I change it to? Nothing comes to mind, maybe we can redirect it to the log in screen  {{:User:Malake256/sig}} 05:03, 4 July 2013 (UTC)


<!-- Please edit below this line -->
::Anyone still ''can'' edit. Anyone can make an account. It's free and easy, and saying "Anyone with an account can edit" sounds pretty bumbling to me. I know it would be better if IPs could still edit, but the spam is unbearable. Saying anyone can edit is not misleading. Sorry if I'm coming across a little bit unsympathetic, but how hard is it to make an account? =\ I think the redirect idea is great. {{:User:Embyr_75/sig}} 23:38, 4 July 2013 (UTC)
== NIWA ==
 
:::I support allowing IPs to edit, however every single time we've allowed it, spam spikes up which leads to us forbidding it again. I really hate having to forbid it again and again due to a few spammers ruining it for everyone. I think we could try allowing it again, if the spam stays at a tolerable level or nonexistent we can leave it be. {{:User:Metroidking/sig}} 03:14, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
 
::::We could add as many filters and blocks as we can find for spam, but it always seems to find a way. I'm team IP! {{:User:Malake256/sig}} 11:08, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
:::::StrategyWiki doesn't get hit too badly with spam.  I'd suggest taking a look at some of those blacklists and copy them here.  If you're ready to have IP editing re-enabled, leave a message on my talk page (or skype) and I'll take care of it. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|talk]]) 03:12, 6 July 2013 (UTC)
 
::::::I've reenabled it for the time being, hopefully spam will be low :). {{:User:Metroidking/sig}} 23:34, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
== Donut Plains ==


Shouldn't we add something about the NIWA here? - {{User:TheSuperZeldaMan/sig}} 14:02, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
I've noticed that our affiliate Donut Plains has gone offline and the domain registration has expire, has anyone heard from them concerning this? {{:User:Metroidking/sig}} 03:19, 5 July 2013 (UTC)


::'Tis Done. Interwiki linking and more NIWA implementation are still to come though. :) {{:User:Melchizedek/sig}} 23:05, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
: I was the one that responded to them but I lost the email I used a long time ago. It was a small website, so I'm assuming it just went offline. Also, nice to see you around :D {{:User:Malake256/sig}} 11:08, 5 July 2013 (UTC)


== Categories on the Main Page ==
:: I saved the email address but unfortunately it is a @donutplains.net address. With it offline, it don't think we have any way to get into contact with them :( I'll try to . and nice to see you too :).{{:User:Metroidking/sig}} 01:22, 6 July 2013 (UTC)
:::Just checked on [http://web.archive.org/web/20120501000000*/http://donutplains.net Archive.com]. seems they've been out of commission for almost a year now , I'll remove them from the sidebar and main page template. {{:User:Metroidking/sig}} 01:41, 6 July 2013 (UTC)


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 [[Special:Categories|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. {{:User:Melchizedek/sig}} 23:11, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
== Random Tabbed Templates? ==


: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. [[User:Metroidking|Metroidking]] 23:17, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
Just a thought: We currently use a Tabbed Template for our Featured Articles and Featured Pictures. The latest Tabs are toggled to display by default. Is there a way to set the default displayed Tab to be a random tab? I'm getting a little sick of seeing Quadraxis down there everyday. =\ We get the best of both worlds that way: a random feature on the page per visit, and the ability to toggle through features. Thoughts on pros/cons of this idea and plausibility? {{:User:Embyr_75/sig}} 00:34, 25 July 2013 (UTC)


::Have changed 'Power Suits' to 'Suits'. Which one would you suggest to remove if weapons was to be added?{{:User:Melchizedek/sig}} 23:21, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
== ''Editor Station'' ==
Until we implement a permanent solution for the Remember Me? section (as currently being discussed at the [[Metroid_Wiki:Discussion_Center|Discussion Center]]), I want to suggest turning that area into, basically, a "To-Do List" with links to important categories, like Stubs, Inadequate Images, Articles Lacking Images, etc. It'd be a place to make editors aware of current projects and give them access to things that need doing on the front page. If no one objects I'll throw something together in the next couple days. {{:User:Embyr_75/sig}} 05:07, 2 September 2013 (UTC)


:::Let's call them 'Featured categories'. ;){{:User:Melchizedek/sig}} 23:37, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
:Not a bad idea, sounds good to me. {{:User:Metroidking/sig}} 15:25, 2 September 2013 (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. [[User:Metroidking|Metroidking]] 23:42, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
::I created something and threw it up there, but I don't know how to create a new class so that I can have a semi-transparent image behind the content like the other boxes do. I was thinking of either [[:File:Mp2infobox.png|this mp2 one]] or [[:File:Featured Article 2.png|this Chozo one]], or we could upload an entirely new image. {{:User:Embyr_75/sig}} 00:59, 3 September 2013 (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. {{:User:Melchizedek/sig}} 23:49, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
== Purple info backrounds ==


::: You have a point on that one. To answer you question about which one to replace with weapons then, I'd say Substances. [[User:Metroidking|Metroidking]] 23:53, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
Hello! I wanted to request changing the infobox backrounds on pages to a lighter color, because it is extremely hard to read the black lettering on the dark purple box.


::::Sounds good. Substances always seemed a bit odd to me. Main page is looking much better now. :){{:User:Melchizedek/sig}} 23:56, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
Thanks!
[[User:Yeetomatic|Yeetomatic]] ([[User talk:Yeetomatic|talk]]) 18:15, 29 July 2021 (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. - {{User:TheSuperZeldaMan/sig}} 00:29. 12 June 2010 (UTC)
:Do you have a suggested colour? -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|talk]]) 19:42, 29 July 2021 (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. {{:User:Malake256/sig}} 00:35, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
Maybe like a light yellowy orange, like the color of Samus’s regular beam in the beginning of Super Metroid.


:::::::We originally had the vehicles category there instead of the spacecrafts one. I'm rather indifferent either way myself. {{:User:Melchizedek/sig}} 00:42, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
[[User:Yeetomatic|Yeetomatic]] ([[User talk:Yeetomatic|talk]]) 22:08, 30 July 2021 (UTC)


:::::::I guess I wasn't here then. No need to change, in this case. - {{User:TheSuperZeldaMan/sig}} 00:53, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
:Which page are you looking at? Text should be green, not black. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|talk]]) 03:07, 1 August 2021 (UTC)


::Yeah, that was pretty early on. The categories on the main page are much better than they were now. {{:User:Melchizedek/sig}} 01:03, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
All pages

== Game Navigation Bar? ==
The bar near the top of Zelda Wiki's main page that links to all the different games in the series gave me this idea; I think it'd be pretty helpful here, as well.  I already have images that could work for it; if you want, I can make a preliminary version and we can see how it looks.  [[User:PeanutLord|PeanutLord]] 14:12, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
:We're trying to make something like that too. Our [[User:TheSuperZeldaMan/Sandbox|first attempt]] did not go so well. I don't remember the order we were going to put the games in, but if you want to make a preliminary version [[Metroid Wiki:Sandbox|here]], that would be great. Here are the images to use: [[:File:M1template.png]] (Metroid)<br>[[:File:M2template.png]] ((Metroid II: Return of Samus)<br>[[:File:M3template.png]] (Super Metroid)<br>[[:File:M4template.png]] (Metroid Fusion)<br>[[:File:M5template.png]] (Metroid: Zero Mission)<br>[[:File:MOMtemplate.png]] (Metroid: Other M}<br>[[:File:M6template.png]] (Metroid Prime)<br>[[:File:M7template.png]] (Metroid Prime 2: Echoes)<br>[[:File:M8template.png]] (Metroid Prime Hunters)<br>[[:File:M9template.png]] (Metroid Prime 3: Corruption)<br>For now, just put it in the order of those images. Hopefully you can make a better one than our first attempt. {{:User:Metroidking/sig}} 18:25, 16 August 2010 (UTC)


::There is something like this already in development, so it's only a matter of time before you see it launched on the main page. {{:User:Melchizedek/sig}} 21:43, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
Ohhhhh. Its only black on mobile. Its green on comp.
[[User:Yeetomatic|Чεετοматιс ]] ([[User talk:Yeetomatic|talk]]) 13:37, 14 August 2021 (UTC)


:::How does that look?  I stopped at Fusion because the rest of the images have a bunch of blank space around them, and I'm not sure how I can work around that just yet.  Can I make some suggestions for the ones I already have up, though?  One of the things that makes working with them difficult is that none of them are a perfect circle or a uniform size, which is going to make the final version of the navigation bar look a bit unorganized. May I upload images for the games that I've already made for this purpose? You don't have to use them in the final version of the bar, but I think they'd be at least helpful for ironing out the problems with it. [[User:PeanutLord|PeanutLord]] 22:06, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
:Oh, that makes more sense! I'll take a look. [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|talk]]) 14:48, 14 August 2021 (UTC)
::All the styles in templates seem to be hard-coded. It's a lot of work to clean all of this up.  I'll see if I can do some basic fixes, but it's going to be a lot of work before the mobile side looks as good as the desktop. [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|talk]]) 15:05, 14 August 2021 (UTC)
:::[[User:Yeetomatic]] I've made some changes to one of the templates. How does [[Wii|this]] page look? If it's good, I'll make the changes to another set of templates. [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|talk]]) 01:53, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
::::I've updated all the infobox style templates now. Please let me know if there's any other pages that don't look right on mobile! [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|talk]]) 23:39, 16 August 2021 (UTC)


::::I was the one fixing the images but i got kinda busy, still am. If you're any good at image editing, it'd be nice if you could fix the images, if not, well it's up to me then. And it's still very early, i'm not liking the style i added to the images, but the actual navigation template will be something that simple. {{:User:Malake256/sig}} 23:50, 16 August 2010 (UTC)


:::::I'm competent at image editing, but not fantastic; most of my expertise lies in the technical aspect of the matter. That said, I'd be glad to help in any way that I can.  You can check out the images I've made for this [http://s952.photobucket.com/albums/ae6/JGard816/ here]; password is "metroids". If you think they're suitable, I'll go ahead and whip up a navigation bar for them (though if you want the glossy effect I've noticed you had for the originals, I can try to apply that to them). [[User:PeanutLord|PeanutLord]] 00:45, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
Oop! All fixed now. Thank you! Looks remarkable and no longer nigh on impossible to read. Thanks for the help!


::::::We're debating around on the image styles, if you wanna join the chat, join [[Metroid Wiki:Skype|Metroid Wiki's skype chat]]. Completely free and much easier to communicate. And no, we don't actually call, just IM. Ur pics are good btw, except that the letters get unreadable at some points, bt nothing that isn't easily fixed. And, to me, i'd like more variety, like not always orange helmeted samus. For example, zero suit face on ZM. {{:User:Malake256/sig}} 01:35, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
[[User:Yeetomatic|Чεετοматιс ]] ([[User talk:Yeetomatic|talk]]) 13:29, 19 August 2021 (UTC)


:::::::All right, thenSkype username is peanutlord816, and I'll work on fixing up the images. [[User:PeanutLord|PeanutLord]] 01:50, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
:No problem! I got the most important parts. There's a lot more I could do, but I would be here all day :PIf there's any major ones you see please let me know. You can also find me on discord if you want. </nowiki> [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|talk]]) 17:05, 19 August 2021 (UTC)


:::Ours will be quite different from Zelda Wiki's, but serve the same basic function. It may not be a bar as such, but another box. If our SEO permits, hopefully it will replace the "Welcome" Box. Also, not only will it have links to the games, but also to key articles (such as Samus Aran), a link to our Facebook group, and a link to our Skype page. As you can tell, the reason it is yet to go up is because of the effort that will have to go into it. So hold tight guys. {{:User:Melchizedek/sig}} 11:18, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
:Hi sorry to bring up a seemingly resolved issue, but the info boxes are still black on dark purple for me on mobile. The problem is especially visible on the [[Energy Tank]] page in the locations section.  
[[User:PesterJester|PesterJester]] ([[User talk:PesterJester|talk]]) 12:59, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
::If you're having the issue, it's not resolved. Looks like that page is fully custom colouring. I'll take a look this week. Thanks for pointing it out! -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|talk]]) 02:45, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

<a href=http://www.meinmanga.com/manga/one_piece/><b>one piece</b></a>
Why doesn't this Wiki have more content about Samus Returns and Dread [[User:Thegameandwatch|Thegameandwatch]] ([[User talk:Thegameandwatch|talk]]) 13:43, 22 October 2021 (UTC)


One Piece of the puzzle N
:No one has written it unfortunately. [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|talk]]) 13:47, 22 October 2021 (UTC)


OP there is no clear explanation of many problems, also raised speculation of readers, tempt the appetite of readers, and some even vowed that D will you even do not know what One Piece is also equipped with talk. I am ashamed, I really do not know what the will of D objects, if there is an expert to know want to give the answer. OP in a lot of personal mystery, pick a few meaningful speech.
== Main page background ==


1. One Piece, and I fixed it!
Set background-attachment: fixed;
    This sentence has been accompanied by OP so far. I am the man to be One Piece, the hero of this sentence Hande have more momentum, but also attracted many young people. This is undoubtedly a successful slogan, the response results from the current view. Many people expect just the feelings of the hero how to be One Piece OP's point of view. To conquer the boundless sea, the way Luffy One Piece destined to become rough. In many OP fans point of view, as if the next Luffy One Piece, many heroes over the sea, even the king can not do the white beard to become a hero Why One Piece, D, is the best rhetoric will . One Piece Luffy can become not a fan of the fan has become.


2.ONE PIECE what is, is there?
for each <body> background and div#globalWrapper
    Comic name is "ONE PIECE", but what ONE PIECE? Authors did not give a clear answer. Is the pursuit of freedom or big Mibao? Or the historical truth? We do not know. But One Piece is to find ONE PIECE become the hero of the dream, even ONE PIECE is the hero who did not know anything, this dream is no doubt very different, just like in real life is difficult to predict the future as complicated and confusing. Sailing hero is nothing more than to experience the great adventure. Of many people through (Roger, white beard, etc.) ONE PIECE revealed the existence of mouth, and thus attracted many people to look for pirates off big time.


3.D what will?
It will have a nice effect when scrolling. [[Special:Contributions/197.205.153.176|197.205.153.176]] 17:10, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
On the will of D, the author did not say, many people speculate, but Kaopu much. The authors also rely on D readers will tempt the appetite. Roger, Fred, Ace, Luffy, Dragon, Saron, black beard, and there is not all blood relations, can only be understood as generations will. "The tide of the times, the dream", but where to find ONE PIECE OP great dreams can only rely on the will of D is rather too narrow, no wonder the Internet has on the D country speculation. Said D D as it is the will of fate, it means other people do not have that life, there is the protagonist here, aura. What is the will of D, whether the D will carry forward to the will of the majority of pirates or even the will of all mankind, WT I am afraid it is difficult to justify.
