== World Updating ==
== World Updating ==


<s>I just noticed you have got plans to update the world articles and I've just made this template ([[Template:InfoboxLocation]]) and included it in the [[Haunted Woods]] to see how it looks/works and then I noticed your plans and thought it might interest you. I feel it gets rid of the slightly redundant world data section and puts it into a more pleasing style. I did try and incorporate the World map as well (the first one you come to when you go to a world) but it stretched the template and made it pretty long so I left it out for now.

I'm not too great at template creation though and it needs a little tidying especially my cheat fix for stopping the image stretch the columns below. :S Also, would I be right in saying there's no #IF template? Anyway, hope you're interested and if not, feel free to get rid of it. =) [[User:Crimsonfox|<b><font color="#8B0000">Cr</font><font color="#FF0000">im</font><font color="#FF4500">so</font><font color="#FF8C00">nF</font><font color="#FFA500">ox</font></b>]] <sup>[[User talk:Crimsonfox|talk]]</sup> 10:42, 18 August 2011 (CDT)</s>

Scratch that, template turned out to be not so useful so it's being dropped. :P Though I have update [[Maraqua]], so that's something at least.

== Weapon icons ==
 
I was thinking about weapon icons (as in [[:template:icon]]). In prose, it seems all right to say "3 x water" &c, but I thought if we are going to be using the icon images anyway, is "[[Image:BE Stat Water Attack.gif]][[Image:BE Stat Water Attack.gif]][[Image:BE Stat Water Attack.gif]]" not better? What do you think? --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 10:40, 25 August 2011 (CDT)
:When I was first experimenting with weapons/ability tables, I though as you did: That using three images to represent three icons would be the right thing to do.  I tried it for a bit, and I'll admit that it looks pretty good for weapons that only have a few icons.  But when you get to weapons that have more that six icons, it starts looking terrible and becomes COMPLETELY unreadable.  As an example, pretend you don't know how many icons of damage a Super Attack Pea does.  Which is more readable:
 
:Super Attack Pea: {{icon|12|Air}} {{icon|20|Earth}}
 
:or
 
:Super Attack Pea: [[Image:BE Stat Air Attack.gif]] [[Image:BE Stat Air Attack.gif]] [[Image:BE Stat Air Attack.gif]] [[Image:BE Stat Air Attack.gif]] [[Image:BE Stat Air Attack.gif]] [[Image:BE Stat Air Attack.gif]] [[Image:BE Stat Air Attack.gif]] [[Image:BE Stat Air Attack.gif]] [[Image:BE Stat Air Attack.gif]] [[Image:BE Stat Air Attack.gif]] [[Image:BE Stat Air Attack.gif]] [[Image:BE Stat Air Attack.gif]] [[Image:BE Stat Earth Attack.gif]] [[Image:BE Stat Earth Attack.gif]] [[Image:BE Stat Earth Attack.gif]] [[Image:BE Stat Earth Attack.gif]] [[Image:BE Stat Earth Attack.gif]] [[Image:BE Stat Earth Attack.gif]] [[Image:BE Stat Earth Attack.gif]] [[Image:BE Stat Earth Attack.gif]] [[Image:BE Stat Earth Attack.gif]] [[Image:BE Stat Earth Attack.gif]] [[Image:BE Stat Earth Attack.gif]] [[Image:BE Stat Earth Attack.gif]] [[Image:BE Stat Earth Attack.gif]] [[Image:BE Stat Earth Attack.gif]] [[Image:BE Stat Earth Attack.gif]] [[Image:BE Stat Earth Attack.gif]] [[Image:BE Stat Earth Attack.gif]] [[Image:BE Stat Earth Attack.gif]] [[Image:BE Stat Earth Attack.gif]] [[Image:BE Stat Earth Attack.gif]]
 
:In the first example, you can glean the number of icons in a second. ("It does 12 air and 20 earth!")  In the second example, you have to carefully count and recount the icons to make sure that you have the number right.  ("Let see, it does a bunch of air icons, but how many? 1..2..3..4...5..6..7...Wait, was I on six or seven?  >_< Now I have to start over.  1..2..3..4..5..6") - [[User:Emeraldosprey|Emerald Osprey]] 12:42, 25 August 2011 (CDT)
 
== Games Room ==
 
"Many of the newer games, sadly, are made in Flash or Shockwave and these require a one-time download to play. These games also tend to take a long time to download, particularly on computers with a dial-up modem, and tend to run slowly on older computers, often leading to a less enjoyable experience for people on older computers."[http://pinkpt.com/neodex/index.php?title=Games_Room&curid=2239&diff=75781&oldid=75780]
 
Oh my god XP. I had no idea the Games Room article was that bad! Good work. =) --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 08:50, 5 December 2012 (CST)
 
== Nice work! ==
 
Hey!~ Just here complement you on your GMC Article work. You've set up a beautiful example an event page! --[[User:Julia|Julia]] ([[User talk:Julia|talk]]) 21:36, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
 
== Something Has Happened! ==
 
Emerald, you do know that when you replaced the old random event template with your new one, it [[Ghost_Lupe#Random_Events|broke]] all the existing pages that had random events on them? :S --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] ([[User talk:Macbeth|talk]]) 14:28, 30 September 2014 (UTC)
:Yeah.  I know.  I'm just gonna have to do the work of updating them. :)  It's something that needs to be done anyway! [[User:Emeraldosprey|Emerald Osprey]] ([[User talk:Emeraldosprey|talk]]) 14:30, 30 September 2014 (UTC)
:Okies - now I look at it, [[Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:RandomEvent|there aren't that many pages]] that used the old template after all. --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] ([[User talk:Macbeth|talk]]) 14:36, 30 September 2014 (UTC)
 
== Columns template ==
 
HELLO!
 
I've just made a template that I hope will make everyone's life a bit easier. It will take one big list and automatically turn it into a table with three level columns. Hopefully this will make it easier to maintain the colours articles and pages. Check it out at [[Template:Columns]]. The [[Template_talk:Columns|manual's on the talk page]], but it's pretty straight forwards (you can see it working at [[Eventide]]). I'm not planning to go around and update all the colour pages with it straight away, but I'll be using this template from now on whenever I have to add a new colour to a Neopet or Neopet to a colour.
 
Hope you find this handy! --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] ([[User talk:Macbeth|talk]]) 22:58, 22 October 2014 (UTC)
 
==Removing Dangerous Links==
 
Currently, all links to the "In-Depth NeoQuest Guide" redirect to a [[Wikipedia:Phishing|phishing]] page.  As such, I have removed all of the old links to the IDNQ from the Neodex.  If you seen any IDNQ links that I missed, PLEASE REMOVE THEM! - [[User:Emeraldosprey|Emerald Osprey]] ([[User talk:Emeraldosprey|talk]]) 16:54, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
 
:Well spotted, it looks like someone spammy people have parked idnq's old domain (idnq-guide.com). I've put the link to idnq.net (the current, correct home of IDNQ) back on the IDNQ article though. --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] ([[User talk:Macbeth|talk]]) 18:11, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
 
== Removing Single Item Pages ==
 
Since we have always said that the Neodex is *not* an item database, I am removing all pages about single items.  With the advent of Jellyneo's item database, single item pages seem silly anyway. :P [[User:Emeraldosprey|Emerald Osprey]] ([[User talk:Emeraldosprey|talk]]) 02:02, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
