Template

Hey, I think we need a game template for the bottom of game pages. I would make one, since I know how to make templates, but I'm not sure how you make them (as in colors, styles, all that.) So, maybe you could make one, or teach me how you make templates here. :) ***Super!~Nickno 03:08, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

For those on the bottom of pages, Do you mean like the Metroids Templates? If so, then really all you have to do is copy/paste. Okay I'll start one, Template:Games, that one has all the colors and junk. All you have to do is change the words around and change the pics. If you have trouble with anything just ask me. Also, if you go to your Preferences and under signatures copy/paste this exactly: {{subst:User:Supernicknobros/sig2}}, maybe that'll fix your signature --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}} 03:23, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

Ok. Thanks. I'll see about making other templates after this one. Also...did my sig work? XD ***Super!~Nickno 03:33, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

Yep, it works perfect now :) Yeah any useful navigation templates you could make would be nice, we're trying to reorganize the wiki's structure. Just make sure here that it isn't already made. And don't place navigation templates on articles until most of the articles it links to have already been made. For example, we use Template:Beams but not Template:Space pirates yet. --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}} 03:47, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

Ah, that will help a lot. XD Also, how does Template:Games look? All it needs is a sprite of Samus from Metroid (to replace the Metroids). You have any sprite pics? Just a few more questions: Should the NES Classics version of Metroid be a separate article? And should I put links to games related to Metroid, like Smash Bros? ***Super!~Nickno 04:03, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, they should be separated, Zero Mission is pretty huge itself and is very different from Metroid despite being a remake. And yeah include spin-offs, although only the Super Smash Bros. series as far as I can see. Godd job though, it looks great, and let me see if i can find any pics. NES Classics should not be a different article. --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}} 04:08, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

Actually, scratch that last part, go ahead and make the "NES Classics Metroid" and name it exactly that. Just don't write anything for the plot or of the sorts. It shouldn't be such a lengthy article, like not a repeat of Metroid (game). --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}} 04:13, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

Ok, I guess that's all Metroid games + Smash Bros. So now all that's left is to get the images, make sure there are no dead links, and then add the template to all the game pages, right? ***Super!~Nickno 04:20, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

Yep, pretty much it. I've got the images covered, I'm making some sprites transparent now, so don't worry about them. Thanks, nice job, and it was pretty quick too. --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}} 04:24, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

That's a good Ridley sprite. Maybe for the other side a Samus sprite? I dunno. ***Super!~Nickno 04:48, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

That's actually exactly what I got haha, Super Metroid Sames Sprite --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}} 04:59, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

Hey, I'm gonna go to sleep now. Maybe you could finish adding the template to the rest of the game pages that I didn't add it to. Or I could in the morning. So, good night. ***Super!~Nickno 05:06, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

Alright I'll add them, have fun sleeping. --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}} 05:12, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

Yay, new template finished. Now, any other templates I could make? Just shoot em at me, and I'll get to work. :D ***Super!~Nickno 18:03, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

Umm, i dunno. If you think of one, come back to me. There are actually all sorts of specific templates to make, such as MP2 Bosses, but we don't have enough articles to make such templates yet. So if you could add info to them, or think of another template to make that'd be Awesome. --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}} 18:13, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

Well, I'll eventually think of one. One quick question, should I add Metroid Dread to the game template? Maybe under other games? ***Super!~Nickno 18:30, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

Noooo, haha, Metroid Dread is not a real game and shouldn't be added to the template. I mean, for all we know, Metroid Dread could be the name of Samus's son haha. That page doesn't really apply to any Nav Templates I could think of. I don't even think it should be under the Games category, I'll think of a better category to fit it in eventually. --Malake256 ^{{Talk | Contribs}} 18:38, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

Ok, just making sure. ***Super!~Nickno 18:50, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

I want to help write up Logbook data, so how should I start that? XD Something to do while I think of a new template. :) ***Super!~Nickno 21:22, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
