Pretty effin retarded how you have all of the character profiles begin with.. "Whoever is a fictional character in the blah blah blah" .. you shouldn't repeat implied information so much. Makes the wiki seem up-its-own-ass.. FIX IT.
Spoilers in the featured article? I think that meeds to be changed, quickly. (If I knew how to I would). GBev 03:01, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
- I'm going to change it myself, I'll put it back to an old one. Don't be angry, even I got spoiled by it... GBev 03:23, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
I don't see why we should be concerned about spoiling information. People would come here to seek an informative Mother database, so visitors should view at their own digression. Every article about something other than a soundtrack contains spoilers, so being sensitive to this would seriously hinder the wiki's featured article availability. Not to mention the Mother 3 translation has been featured for months.

- Most articles don't have spoilers in the first couple of lines like the Ultimate Chimera, though. GBev 16:35, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
I don't think we should be trying to cover up spoilers for the reason Storm provided, but I do feel as if the first paragraph of that article wanders a bit off-topic. It talks too much about the game and not enough about the actual translation project. There shouldn't even be spoilers in that paragraph because they're irrelevant.

- Well there's not really spoilers in the M3 translation's lead. There's a brief synopsis of what the game the patch is being developed for is about, but it doesn't really offer spoilers. I'd say the lead balances the patch and what it's for well. GBev was talking about using the previous featured article, Ultimate Chimera, which indeed has spoiler material in its lead.

I think that we should consider a different article for the feature now, just one without spoilers. GBev 02:14, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
- Fine...Is this spoiley enough? P.M. 21:47, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
Alright, since no one's doing it, I'll be the one to do all the featured articles. Got it? ~P.M.
[edit] Active Wiki?
Is this Wiki, say, active? Like, have a good amount of editors that edit alot or somethin like that? Just wondering REALLY Flying Mouse 06:27, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
- It doesn't have constantly rolling contributions by various users, but I'd say it gets some from a couple of people each day. I'm the one who normally maintains it. There used to be a couple of others who maintained it as well, such as Pikmin Master and Lord Xale, but I haven't seen them around lately. Storm 08:06, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
- I just have trouble having time to edit this stuff. I'm not sure that even the coming winter break from school will get me to edit stuff. P.M. 22:51, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Fictional...
I think the person who first posted on this talk page said more or less the same thing, but what's the point of calling everything "fictional?" I've seen a lot of wikis, and none of them said "fictional" when referring to ANYTHING in the universe of the game/manga/show the wiki covers as "fictional." Sure, it might say that the universe is fictional, but this whole wiki is based on a video game, for crying out loud! I don't see any sense in this.

- I also think the whole "fictional" part is unnecessary. After all, the planet is fictional to the eyes of an Earth human, but not to the universe it's in. I say only consider something or someone as "fictional" only if it's fictional to the universe (I say planet) the game is in. Pikmin Master 01:20, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Main Page locked
The main page is locked, so I can't do anything about the featured articles. I even have the one meant for this month ready. ~Pikmin Master
