Images
Hey, I have a question: how come I can't add images? BlueSpeeder (talk) 16:03, March 14, 2013 (UTC)

Dunno why you're asking me, dude *shrugs* TheFatPanda (talk) 16:35, March 14, 2013 (UTC)

hi, seeing you recently edited the mega man characetr pages I wondered why you had a link to mega man monthly, and would have thought it better to link to the archie mega man wiki instead, i left a message about this on the main talk page a few days ago. I didn't want to change the link you added as this would be changing your edit without your permission. could we please change it to a link to the archie mega man wiki as we have done it on our sonic pages (i am an admin on the archie mega man wiki). can i have permission to change your link?

I had no idea there even was an Archie Mega Man Wiki... Anyway, we're using Mega Man Monthly because that was what was agreed between Diamonddeath and Steven Chase (MMM's admin). MMM already have their own articles for the Sonic characters for their roles in the crossover, while they link to the respective articles on this site for further reading: therefor we're doing the same here. And imo its easy to see why: Mega Man Monthly is without a doubt the most extensive source of info for Archie Mega Man outside of the comics themselves. So much so that the site was even given a shoutout in #22's Mega Mail.

Hope you understand. TheFatPanda (talk) 17:08, April 12, 2013 (UTC)

Subscription
You have a Sonic comic subscription? MerlinTheFairyFox

Yes and no. Not in the way your thinking of. There's a store in my area that specialises in importing American comics, and they get the comics in, keeping a copy reserved for me. Does that really count as a subscription? I still get the on release day if that's what you mean. TheFatPanda (talk) 10:51, September 21, 2013 (UTC)

So how are we going to deal with the inclusion of Sabrina?
Think maybe we should change the "Mega Man" header to "Tie-ins" and list Sabrina 28 - Mega Man 24 - etc and then have the Mega Man page as a link on the Tie-ins page? It'd probably be more efficient than trying to awkwardly shove Sabrina in somewhere, and it gives us wiggle room if something like X starts tying in with the comic later on.

 * No idea. One solution could be to just bring back the "Other" section and put Sabrina in there alongside Archie And Friends: A Halloween Tale, though I'm not sure its worth making a whole new section for. TheFatPanda (talk) 22:46, February 15, 2014 (UTC)

On using tags in articles
H2 and H3 headers don't work on tagging, but H1 headers do.

"What does THAT mean?!" Glad you asked. Single = titles (one on each side of the title) work fine inside tabs. Use that instead of == and === tabs. We need to talk to Wiriamu/DD about incorporating H2 and H3 into tagging, because Wikia says you can totally do that if you screw with the site's code.

On actually TAGGING the articles, may I make a suggestion? I'm finding that it's way easier to tag individual sections. Tab-in-tab action is possible, but really weird and needs more site meddling. Simply using a tab on a single section (like history) works way better. See what I did to King Acorn and Muttski for examples of what I mean. It works well to make the character summary at the top as general as possible so it can work with all versions and repeat stuff from the history tabs less.

On what we CALL the tabs, we need to talk to everybody about what the heck we're gonna call these things. I saw a post on a site electing "current/prime canon" a while back and ended up using it for King Acorn since there's seriously limited space on the infoboxes. Works pretty well from what I've tried. Maybe we can try making those into two categories, "Prime Canon" and "Current Canon", add them to articles for places/people/things so it's easier to tell what's still around and what isn't confirmed, no more of the whole "banned list" presumptive mess.

Also REALLY thinking it would be a good idea to add "Alternate Versions" in history tabs so we can keep things a lot more concise. I think it'd be pretty great for the Wiki to have "Current/Prime/X/Alternate Versions" on Sonic's page. Reduces clutter a ton and groups things together, less nasty redirects, etc.

Sorry to blurb my ideas on you, but you actually edit and check things pretty often so I'm just gonna bounce all these ideas off you.

EDIT: Also worth considering: Post-Genesis/Pre-Genesis or Post-SGW/Pre-SGW and making a SGW article about it as an event. The only reason I hesitate is because it'd be easy for people to get confused if we used Post-Genesis what with the Genesis arc and stuff.
