==Proposals Page==


I updated the proposals page to the latest version, by the way, if any one cares. :P --[[User:Rapta|Rapta]] 03:36, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
== Standardized Formatting for Drop Tables ==
I've noticed that there are multiple things on the wiki without a standardized format.


==Maplestory Article!==
For example, the drop table format and style differs from monster to monster (e.g. [[Grupin#Drops|Grupin]], [[Yeti#Drops|Yeti]], and [[Slime (Monster)#Drops|Slime]]).  I've included a potential example on [[User talk:Owlepicurus|my talk page]].  It is easy to read and to set up.  The main goal would be to have one style of table for all monsters (with some exceptions for monsters like [[Pink Bean]], which have a large number of drops in each category).  If you think a different format would be better, please post it here or include a link to a page with it.


Isn't it odd that a wiki all about Maplestory doesn't even have an article with that name? xD --[[User:Champion911|Champion911]] 16:56, 8 March 2006 (CST)
Also, how would one go about adding collapsible tables?  It appears as though the wiki does not currently have this functionality, so an admin may have to edit the wiki's source if this is the case.  It's mostly a stylistic detail, but it would be a nice touch, especially for pages with multiple templates at the bottom or large drop lists (see [[Slime (Monster)#Drops|Slime]] as an example of the latter).


:Hahaha. Well, I guess it's assumed you know what Maplestory is if you are researching it :D --[[User:Oh.My.Goose.|Oh.My.Goose.]] 17:07, 8 March 2006 (CST)
Thank you! -- [[User:Owlepicurus|Owlepicurus]] 2:52, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
*lol now it does xD --[[User:Timestopper|Timestopper]] 22:10, 6 April 2006 (UTC)


==Site Logo==
==Suggestion==
I think u guys should add a link to the forums on the sidebar. The main page mentions the forums but doesn't provide a link for them.


Ya, i guess so. On another topic, someone should really consider setting a logo for this site. "Set $wgLogo to the URL path to your own logo image" doesn't seem very attractive >.> --[[User:Champion911|Champion911]] 17:44, 8 March 2006 (CST)
==Suggestion==
Just made an account to say; that there should be a Server status thing on the main page, or a link in the navigation thing.

::We should put a picture of a snail or something. Or maybe one of the third advancement people --[[User:Oh.My.Goose.|Oh.My.Goose.]] 14:03, 9 March 2006 (CST)
I really think you guys should divide the wiki based on version (e.g. in a similar manner to which different language wikis are set up and have the same article available for multiple versions. I don't really like the current system of naming a page "Name in one version/Name in another version/Name in a third version" and redirecting the individual names to that page. I think the names on the wiki should be based on global, which is intended to be able to be played by anyone, and redirecting the names from other versions to the global name. This also means at least one fewer redirect for every monster/place/item with multiple names. [[User:Tahngarthor|Tahngarthor]] 00:03, 29 January 2010 (UTC) Correct me if I'm wrong, but since the entirety of the wiki is in English, that the vast majority of people visiting or editing on this site play primarily on Global. [[User:Tahngarthor|Tahngarthor]] 00:03, 29 January 2010 (UTC)


:::I couldn't find a good picture of a duck. Otherwise, we'd have a duck up there. xD ~~ [[User:Ryalla|Ryalla]] 14:52, 9 March 2006 (CST)
Actually majority of people that play MapleSEA (Singaporeans) can read and write english, also we need Europe MS because people there can also understand. English IS a global language and many people around the world, and different versions can understand it. Its really no big deal to do version name/version name and redirecting [[User:Kennytran4|Kennytran4]] 21:40, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

== Hello everyone, I'm new ==


Maplewiki could use an orange mushroom?=D
Hi, maplers!!! I'm relatively new to this "Wiki" concept, but at the moment I'm beginning a newfound dedication to creating guides and help concerning Nexon Inc.'s ''MapleStory''.
[[User:Hiei154| Hiei154]] 20:44 20 March 2006
I will mainly be:
*Standardizing structure, spelling, and grammar of Armor, Weapon, and Monster articles
*Amending biased and misleading information in general MapleStory articles such as stats and leveling
*Fixing up links, etc. to make MapleWiki more accessible and easier to navigate.
Now please, as I'm new, don't attack me for any mistakes I do. If you have anything you believe is not right, please do so in constructive  criticism. Make suggestions and recommendation - no simple corrections that would likely offend people, k?
- Sincerely, new editor "maruma12"

== Dual Blade Must be Put under Classes ==


==Main Page Format==
The Link to the Dual Blade article must be put under the classes section ([http://www.maplewiki.net/index.php?title=Dual_Blade Dual Blade])


Here's some links to templates that can be used for the main page, to improve the quality, perhaps. These are both from Wikis of other RPG's.
== Guides ==


http://oblivion.gamewikis.org/wiki/Main_Page
Guides need to have their own sub-class of wikispace, like [[Guide:Cleric]] instead of [[Cleric]]. They are not encyclopedic pages and need to be moved out of the mainspace. <sub style="color:#00008B;">'''[[User:Bws2cool|Blake]]'''</sub> <sup>([[User talk:Bws2cool#top|Talk]]·[[Special:Contributions/Bws2cool|Edits]])</sup> 19:35, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

== Big Bang notice ==


The first one is one in development, and the second one is a final product. [[User:Rapta|Rapta]] 20:56, 17 March 2006 (CST)
I think pages that are old and outdated should have this notice at the top, which would also place them in a category with other outdated pages. <sub style="color:#00008B;">'''[[User:Bws2cool|Blake]]'''</sub> <sup>([[User talk:Bws2cool#top|Talk]]·[[Special:Contributions/Bws2cool|Edits]])</sup> 20:00, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

:Also, something like this should be added at the bottom of the main page so other people can tweak with an editable copy of the main page.
== New Main Page Look in the works. ==


:(see top)
I'm considering the idea of giving a facelift to the Main Page to make it look interesting. [[User:ToaArrol|ToaArrol]] 15:37, 7 November 2011 (CST)


:Food for thought. [[User:Rapta|Rapta]] 21:00, 17 March 2006 (CST)
== Suggestion ==


::Was playing around with the OblivoWiki above and made this outline: http://www.mapletip.com/maplewiki/index.php/Editcopy2formainpage --[[User:Rapta|Rapta]] 22:55, 17 March 2006 (CST)
Most of the pages for quests that are level 80+ that came out from newer areas never came out... Can someone please make them? [[User:Penguin149|Penguin149]] 10:15, 4 March 2012


Uh oh, the main page wasn't meant to be changed ''yet''. We had borrowed the template frmo another site, and we hadn't finished changing it. What I'm trying to say is that right now we are technically plagiarising the front page, and we need to change the titles or the headlines and the colours. --Champion911 20:45, 18 March 2006 (CST)
== Image file name conventions ==


:Hmm... lemme update the editcopy so it's close with the current one. That way, we can use editcopy 2 for something else if we need to. :P --- [[User:Rapta|Rapta]] 22:52, 18 March 2006 (CST)
Since the infobox templates automatically place images into tables for you, image files should use the same naming conventions assumed by the infobox templates.


How about hidden-street.net great info to help this wiki get better
When I add items to tables, most of the time it will create broken links for the images just because the file name was off.  It creates a lot of extra work adding those image links in manually.


:Why not put What's New (on top); then put boxes of [[Classes]], [[Items]], [[Maps]], [[Monsters]]; and leave the help desk on bottom. -[[User:Timestopper|Timestopper]] 02:19, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
The format should be Item_Name.png


Try using the edit copy to show me what you're thinking of. Sounds like a good idea, but i need some visual. Thanks, --Champion911 02:27, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
For example, Brown_Guiltian.png instead of Brownguiltian.gif


==Bowman, not Archer==
Another problem that needs to be worked out is the page name being different from the image name, such as in [[Black Jangoon Pants (M)]].  There is no _(M) suffix in the file name, so even though the rest of the name follows convention, it still results in broken image links.  I guess it depends on whether you want to keep gender suffixes in page names or not.  I personally can't think of an example where the male and female versions of an item both had the same name.


The first job advancement for the Bowman is the archer, but the general job "tree" is called the Bowman. Can someone, under "Classes", change "Archer" to "Bowman"? Thanks. ---[[User:Rapta|Rapta]] 21:19, 22 March 2006 (CST)

Standardized Formatting for Drop Tables

I've noticed that there are multiple things on the wiki without a standardized format.

For example, the drop table format and style differs from monster to monster (e.g. Grupin, Yeti, and Slime). I've included a potential example on my talk page. It is easy to read and to set up. The main goal would be to have one style of table for all monsters (with some exceptions for monsters like Pink Bean, which have a large number of drops in each category). If you think a different format would be better, please post it here or include a link to a page with it.

Also, how would one go about adding collapsible tables? It appears as though the wiki does not currently have this functionality, so an admin may have to edit the wiki's source if this is the case. It's mostly a stylistic detail, but it would be a nice touch, especially for pages with multiple templates at the bottom or large drop lists (see Slime as an example of the latter).
