Layout
Hello, thanks for your edits! Please ensure that images/content is below the improvement template(s) on an article. You may want to consider editing in source mode if you don't already, the layout guide might also help. Here's an example of how I corrected one of the edits. If you have any question please let me know. -- Hunterj Hunterj's Resort 19:49, October 13, 2012 (UTC) Thrranoids have strange reptile skin, and may be possibly similar to reptiles. All breeds of Tyhrranoids have stalk eyes, though the number varies. Tyhrranoids with more stalks are larger and stronger.
 * Please take greater care when inserting images. This edit shows how you actually inserted an image in the middle of a sentence - while it doesn't effect the appearance it does greatly effect the wiki code. -- Hunterj [[File:Hunterj icon.png]] Hunterj's Resort 13:38, October 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * Sure. I believe you are using the visual editor, as opposed to source mode, which means if you're not careful about where the cursor is placed when inserting an image it can effect the code. For example:

The image code is in the middle of the sentence as opposed to before the paragraph, presumably because the cursor was there while using the editor. I strongly recommend you check your edits in source mode or ideally switch to edit in source mode through your preferences. If you need any further help please let me know. Kind regards, -- Hunterj Hunterj's Resort 16:07, October 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * We strongly recommend it. It can take a little while to get used to it, but once you do it's much more precise and should stop these image code issues. If you need any help with source mode editing check out Help:Source mode or for more info http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Contents and especially http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting can help. Kind regards, -- Hunterj [[File:Hunterj icon.png]] Hunterj's Resort 22:28, October 16, 2012 (UTC)

My Current Role
I'm playing Full Frontal Assault right now, so you'll likely see loads of info from that being put into the wiki. Feel free to chat about posted info if you wish.
 * Just a quick question, Korgan Refinery already exists as Korgon Refinery. Is this a typo on your part or is it a regional thing (and if so what region are you?). I have the PAL version of the game and it's spelled as Korgon. -- Hunterj Hunterj icon.png Hunterj's Resort 11:53, December 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * Okay, if it is a regional thing, and your game as the North American version spells it as Korgan, then your version is correct as we use the American titles/spellings etc. Whichever article is correct we should redirect the other to it after merging the content, let me know if you want me to help with any of that. Thanks, -- Hunterj Hunterj icon.png Hunterj's Resort 17:48, December 18, 2012 (UTC)

I'll check to make sure which spelling they use, when I find out, I'll reply back. (UTC) User:No Offense 1:27 PM Dec 18, 2012

Tense
Hi, thanks for all your contributions. Just thought I should remind you about our manual of style - the in-universe content should be written in the past tense, while real world content (skill points, guides, multiplayer etc) should be in present tense. -- Hunterj Hunterj's Resort 16:44, December 19, 2012 (UTC)

Cleaner bot
Hello. Thanks for all your edits lately. I've moved Cleaner Bot back to Cleaner bot as in-game I've not seen the Cleaner Bot capitalized. -- Hunterj Hunterj's Resort 20:56, December 31, 2012 (UTC)

Re:
Okay, thanks for letting me know, sounds like a very good idea. We probably should have a sub-section for spacecrafts. Try to keep the conjectural names as generic as possible (I mean avoid speculating where possible, just try to be descriptive) - this can be difficult but it's not a major issue as we can always discuss renaming any after if needed. Let me know if you need any help at all, I might be able to help particularly with images. Many thanks, -- Hunterj Hunterj's Resort 10:57, January 7, 2013 (UTC)

IRC meeting
Hi, you've been really active lately and I just thought I'd mention our IRC meeting coming up this Saturday if you didn't already know. I'd really appreciate as many people's attendance as possible so if you can make it please join us! If you need any help let me know. -- Hunterj Hunterj's Resort 22:09, January 8, 2013 (UTC)
 * I do have Full Frontal Assault - a lot of resolutions don't seem to be supported for splitscreen. For example playing through AV output didn't have support but when I used the HDMI output (same TV - I have a non-HD USB capture device) it did work. Insomniac Games might actually be able to help you, they're pretty good at responding to issues so they might be able to explain or something if you send them an e-mail. Regarding the IRC meeting If you want to raise some issues I recommend you put them on the IRC meeting agenda in advance - obviously it's best if you can attend to fully raise any topics you'd like to discuss but if you can't make it you could outline your idea(s) and it'll be raised at the meeting if it's on the agenda, even if it's just a brief discussion. Hope that helps a little anyway. -- Hunterj Hunterj icon.png Hunterj's Resort 01:05, January 9, 2013 (UTC)

Signature
I've just noticed the odd timestamp on your signature, do you sign with ~ ? If not, have you had a look at Help:Signature and R&C:SP? -- Hunterj Hunterj's Resort 16:21, January 9, 2013 (UTC)

Articles that have conjectural titles
Instead of adding articles to the category "Articles that have conjectural titles" could you please use conjecture at the top of the page instead? Many thanks, -- Hunterj Hunterj's Resort 11:37, January 10, 2013 (UTC)

IRC meeting
Hi, do you know if you can join us for the IRC meeting tomorrow? -- Hunterj Hunterj's Resort 22:56, January 11, 2013 (UTC)
 * UTC is Universal Coordinated Time. I believe it is currently the same as GMT. It's at 10:00 UTC. If you need help with timezones I'm on the IRC now if you want to join. -- Hunterj Hunterj icon.png Hunterj's Resort 23:26, January 11, 2013 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I just missed you. If you want to try again I'll pay more attention! Sorry. -- Hunterj Hunterj icon.png Hunterj's Resort 23:41, January 11, 2013 (UTC)
 * Just missed you on IRC. If I'm marked as away you can try to alert me by typing /msg nick message so for example /msg Hunterj|Away Hello. I might be away but that might alert me if I'm around. -- <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj Hunterj icon.png Hunterj's Resort 23:52, January 13, 2013 (UTC)

Re:
No problem. I recommend starting a forum. Just create a page staring with Forum: and I'll add it to the relevant list later. That way we can discuss the naming of the articles and have a list of all the species you intend to create. As with anything slightly speculative, citation would be very appropriate. -- <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj Hunterj's Resort 12:33, January 17, 2013 (UTC)

Jargonian Needle Torture
When is Jargonian Needle Torture mentioned in TOD and ACiT? It's a comprehensive article, so it really needs all of that info. -- <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj Hunterj's Resort 22:23, February 6, 2013 (UTC)

Captain Slag mentions Jargonian Needle Torture in ToD, which Pirates practice on themselves from time to time. In ACiT, Argos is said to have survived this sort of abuse before. (UTC) User:No Offense 5:29 PM Feb 6, 2013
 * Ah, thanks. Any chance you could direct me to a YT clip or at least the scenes where this is said? Would help greatly in expanding the article, unless you want to do it yourself of course! -- <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj Hunterj icon.png Hunterj's Resort 23:46, February 6, 2013 (UTC)
 * That's fantastic. Thanks. I'll work on it tomorrow. -- <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj Hunterj icon.png Hunterj's Resort 01:05, February 8, 2013 (UTC)

Templates
Hi, when you add (mentioned only) and (first appearance) to an article, instead of typing that out please type mo for mentioned only and 1st for first appearance (1stm for first appearance and mentioned only). Take a look at the template pages themselves for further info or let me know if you need any help. Many thanks, -- <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj Hunterj's Resort 01:17, February 8, 2013 (UTC)

Infobox images
Hi, thanks for your edits. Just a brief reminder about the infobox images. This shows how I've corrected the infobox, don't use thumb in the infobox images as it disrupts the formatting. Let me know if you need any further help. -- <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj Hunterj's Resort 21:46, February 20, 2013 (UTC)

First appearance
Hi, the template your looking for is 1st. -- <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj Hunterj's Resort 16:50, March 1, 2013 (UTC)

Featured user
I'd like to nominate you for featured user if you're interested. -- <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj Hunterj's Resort 19:12, March 9, 2013 (UTC)
 * Great! You're one of our most active users at the moment. I've nominated you now. -- <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj Hunterj icon.png Hunterj's Resort 19:42, March 9, 2013 (UTC)

File

 * If you didn't already, we strongly recommend only using Special:Upload to upload files. -- <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj Hunterj icon.png Hunterj's Resort 18:14, March 11, 2013 (UTC)

Re:Photos
If it's a piece of art (concept art, etc) it should be the artist if you know who it was. If it's a screenshot it can be whoever took the screenshot. It's acceptable to leave this blank if you're not sure, and you don't really need to fill it in at all for screenshots unless you want to. -- <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj Hunterj's Resort 00:01, March 12, 2013 (UTC)

Link
Hi again, was this link intentional? -- <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj Hunterj's Resort 00:30, March 12, 2013 (UTC)

User:No Offense 8:35 PM March 11, 2013
 * Yeah, I plan on working on them when I get the chance and information I need to write about, those two robots are considered characters by the game.
 * Right, wasn't sure if it was a mistake or not that was all. Thanks! -- <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj Hunterj icon.png Hunterj's Resort 01:05, March 12, 2013 (UTC)

Quote templates
Hi, if you ever want to practice or experiment you can use the sandbox. -- <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj Hunterj's Resort 20:57, March 13, 2013 (UTC)
 * Also could you tell me about the non-canon appearance of the Fongoid in FFA? I didn't notice could do with some more info. Thanks, -- <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj Hunterj icon.png Hunterj's Resort 21:12, March 13, 2013 (UTC)


 * The Fongoids appear non-canonically in Full Frontal Assault as part of the ranking system, there might be a photo in the photo gallery that shows the ranking system. User:No Offense 1:48 PM March 14, 2013
 * Excellent. Thanks. -- <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj Hunterj icon.png Hunterj's Resort 19:29, March 14, 2013 (UTC)

Deletion
Thanks for your edits. If possible could you please use delete to mark pages needing deletion instead of using the category? It's not a big deal but would potentially help. Thanks, -- <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj Hunterj's Resort 01:19, March 16, 2013 (UTC)

Infoboxes/orphan template
Thanks for adding all the infoboxes lately. It's really appreciated. Separately you've removed a number of orphan templates from pages that are still orphans - orphans are pages that are not linked to from any other page on the wiki. The orphan template contains a link to the Special:WhatLinkHere/Pagename page to determine whether the page is still an orphan or not. Let me know if your still uncertain about how this template works. Many thanks, -- <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj Hunterj's Resort 15:10, March 25, 2013 (UTC)

Oops, that wasn't intentioned. Which pages did I wrongly remove the orphan status. User:No Offense 4:08 PM March 25, 2013
 * It's not a problem - I reverted: Bomber Minion and Amaris 3. -- <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj Hunterj icon.png Hunterj's Resort 23:05, March 25, 2013 (UTC)

So are these pages orphan pages because no where else in the wiki mentions it, or is it an orphan page because its in no category page? User:No Offense 7:40 PM March 25, 2013
 * Orphans are pages with no other articles linking to them. For example Special:WhatLinksHere/Bomber Minion. The template has a link to the page which lists articles linking to it, if it's empty the template should stay if there are entries it can be removed. -- <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj Hunterj icon.png Hunterj's Resort 15:39, March 26, 2013 (UTC)

Categories
Hi, just a quick note taht I've deleted Category:Ratchet and Clank planets and created Category:Ratchet & Clank planets instead. Where possible (not a big deal, don't feel you have to) when adding these new sub-categories could you remove the parent category, for example Category:Planets? Thanks for all your work! -- <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj Hunterj's Resort 20:42, March 27, 2013 (UTC)


 * Also the indirectly mentioned only template is imo - hope that helps. -- <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj Hunterj icon.png Hunterj's Resort 20:44, March 27, 2013 (UTC)

I'm a bit confused, why would you want me to delete Category:Planets? User:No Offense 4:47 PM March 27, 2013
 * The category structure should work with everything coming from the original category (a category tree). Articles placed in categories should usually not also be placed in that category's master or parent category. So the planets category really should have no articles in it eventually, they should all be in appropriate sub-categories that are inside the planets category. With wikis categories are a more of a navigational structure rather than a tagging system. The category tree for Category:Planets should link to further categories which group the articles, rather than grouping the articles itself if that makes sense. It can be a little hard to explain so please let me know if you still don't understand - my explanations aren't always the best... -- <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj Hunterj icon.png Hunterj's Resort 20:57, March 27, 2013 (UTC)

So correct me if I'm wrong, if planet Damosel contains a link category of Planets and Going Commando planets, I should delete the former, because Going Commando planets already connects to Planets category? User:No Offense 5:02 PM March 27, 2013
 * Yes, that's essentially it. There are some exceptions but generally you can't go far wrong with that approach. -- <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj Hunterj icon.png Hunterj's Resort 21:05, March 27, 2013 (UTC)

Seems a bit odd, I'm not sure that's truly effective method in my opinion, but if thats the rules of this wiki, I'll make sure to change my habits accordingly. User:No Offense 5:10 PM March 27, 2013
 * It's ensures the category tree functions and navigation through the system is effective, rather than functioning like tags used for blogs etc. -- <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj Hunterj icon.png Hunterj's Resort 22:06, March 27, 2013 (UTC)

User page
Hi, someone made an edit to your user page. Feel free to revert and I'll speak to the editor. -- <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj Hunterj's Resort 15:45, March 28, 2013 (UTC)

Fate unknown
Hi, we don't need to document unknown information so I've removed the category. If the information is unknown it's simply not covered e.g. an unknown sector in an infobox would just be left blank. -- <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj Hunterj's Resort 16:41, March 29, 2013 (UTC)

The purpose of the category was to list characters who's current fate is unknown, like Max Apogee who might either be alive or dead, much like we have a page for deceased characters. I thought it was a good idea, but your Admin, so I'll respect your decision on the matter. User:No Offense 12:48 PM March 29, 2013 Also, if the characters status is neither active or deceased, it probably should be fate unknown or MIA or something.
 * I understand what you're saying, I completely agree with your line of thinking. The issue is why cover something we don't know? It's speculative and also it could apply to a huge range of characters that we know very little about - again seeming speculative. By not stating anything about their status, we're not speculating and it's still 'unknown'. However my word is by no means final on anything on the wiki, feel free to add it to an IRC meeting agenda or let me know if you'd rather open a forum (assuming you want to debate this) - and that goes for anything you disagree with. I'm not going to be offended by anyone who disagrees with me! -- <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj Hunterj icon.png Hunterj's Resort 18:45, March 29, 2013 (UTC)

User of the Month
Congratulations, you are the user of the month for April 2013. Thanks for all your contributions, feel free to add the following to your user page.

Sorry it's a little late! -- <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj Hunterj's Resort 13:46, April 2, 2013 (UTC)

Starshield
Feel free to say no, but I was wondering if you could help me by reading through Starshield to see if I've missed anything or if anything could be improved, and also (if possible) by creating some of the red links. Thanks, -- <font face="Aurek-Besh Hand">Hunterj Hunterj's Resort 17:17, April 3, 2013 (UTC)

Sapient Species
I just realized something. If the point of your new category is to fill it with all the self-aware, intelligent species, I'll tell you we already have a category for such a thing. Category:Intelligent Races Stars and Stripes (talk) 04:42, July 18, 2013 (UTC)

Oh I know that, I myself crafted this category long ago, I think before I became an official member too. Sapient Species sounds better then Intelligent Race now that I think of it, and thus I'm moving everything out of Intelligent Races into Sapient Species. No Offense 12:48 AM July 18, 2013 (UTC)
