User talk:Protector Wind

Welcome

 * Welcome onboard! And thank you for the many contributions you've already made to the site. Although I assume you're already familiar with how a wiki works, you're welcome to ask or otherwise comment on just about anything on my page.

Hello
I don't know who you are or where you came from, but your amazing, big big thanks for contributing FarelTheGecko 17:15, August 25, 2010 (UTC)

Keep it up
No no, I'm the one who's supposed to thank you for the effort you've put into editing and generally improving this site during the last few days! I think I'm allergic to writing long paragraphs :P But I've had those SaGa books sitting on my shelves for quite some time now so I'm glad to share it with you all (even moreso as SaGa material is fairly scarce on the intarwebs compared to say, Final Fant--*gets shot*).

By the way, those growth panels had to be included within a table tag to function as intended. No real mistake on your part, you can freely copy/paste them and continue your editing without worries now. I don't like barging into other people's business unwelcome, so I usually leave an edit summary when fixing something another user has made. Again, happy editing! Overbend 13:58, August 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * One last thing∼ if you're interested, it's possible to request adminship for this wikia. We can do fine without one, but admins obviously have certain editing privileges and whatnot so...let me know what you think. Right now there's basically 3-4 people actively working on this, no one including me seems to be up for the task yet so I thought I'd let you know.

Hi! Collapsibles can be used for that purpose. I'm signing off right now so I don't have the time to provide you with a concrete example just yet, for the time being feel free to take a look at that page and experiment as you see fit.


 * Scratch that, the admin/creator of the wikia hasn't enabled this particular javascript so it's out of question... I'm afraid we'll have to stick with the current layout for now. Cheers, Overbend 08:56, September 4, 2010 (UTC)

Question
what should I do now? I've finished writing proper more advanced description for the unlimited saga cast... What should I do next?

FarelTheGecko 13:33, January 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * My PC's graphics card died over the holidays so I've not been around much. Good work with all the USaGa voice casting stuff as well! As for what's next... I'm not sure? I've still got to finish up adding all the SaGa Frontier 2 attacks, but without collapsible charts (see message above from Overbend), it'll be a looooonnnggg page.
 * I was thinking of doing the crazy impossible, and it might be helpful to have someone else working on it too. Each of the Growth Panel's has it's own link, but no specific page(s) right now. I know it'll be a big job, but maybe creating pages/links to each Growth Panels' effect on would be useful; so people know exactly what Detect Aura, Skill Saver, Merchant, Fashion etc does. I've done brief descriptions of each Panel on the main Growth Panel page, but none of them or the individual character growth panel's link together or anything.
 * Protector Wind 12:17, February 6, 2011 (UTC)

Growth Panel... sure.. but Detect Aura is a spell list, but guess that should be made as well.

Sorry, I will get to it, but I have to admit, with the low interest of people into this site, plus the fact how the series is kinda ... DEAD right now... The motivation seems low. I heard stuff about some remakes of the old games coming out, but I don't know if to take it seriously...

FarelTheGecko 17:39, February 6, 2011 (UTC)

An update
Phew, added links in Growth Panels and did proper spell description

http://saga.wikia.com/wiki/Unlimited_Saga_Spells

What now? :p FarelTheGecko 11:28, February 10, 2011 (UTC)


 * Wow, that was quick! Also, awesome job to see the Growth Panels linking to what they actually do!
 * I have no idea why I put "Detect Aura" either, must have lost my mind when typing that, especially as Spells have already been done and I think Overbend was adding pictures to them bit by bit as well. I've just finished up my missing SaGa Frontier 2 bits as well; the only other thing I thought of was to add pages for the individual side-quests in USaGa. I've already listed each available quest on the respective Unlimited Saga locations, but thought it might be nice to have pages for each. Detailing things like; what you have to do, enemies, boss(es), chests/loot, character links (ie, meet this person here when playing as Judy etc), backstory and stuff.
 * I know it's going to be a long job (hence why I haven't properly started it yet!) and I certainly don't want to force you to do anything, but if you feel like helping out making/editing some pages then that'd be great! Protector Wind 15:54, February 10, 2011 (UTC)

My doubts
Look, I'm not going to stop you. Do what you please, maybe I'll help. If there's going to be a field or place where I can help then I'll add my 2/3 cents, but the thing is... most quests in saga games are simple. ...... ok ok I guess if all cities are COVERED then it'll be kinda smooth. FINE... I'll help out, but it'd be nice if we could settle for a theme or style so it'd go smooth by.

{C}BTW, I've been thinking of making a video to promote this wiki... What do you think?


 * I've begun work on the side-quests using a uniform style/theme for each. Currently working through them alphabetically by location, and as I have the week off they should all be done this week sometime (hopefully). Feel free to edit/ammend where needed.
 * It would be nice to drum up some more interest in the SaGa Wiki. What sort of video where you planning on doing? A sort of call for help, or just a flashy advert type vid... or something else entirely?
 * Protector Wind 18:34, February 20, 2011 (UTC)

Greetings
Thanks! {C}I suppose that there isn't much info because many SaGa games are JPN-Exclusive. I have one imported from Japan (The SaGa 2 remake) so I'll help out with those articles. I can also help out with thicking the game articles, so just give me a shout! I'm always happy to help.

Thanks for the welcome, and take care!

Heya :) You seem to be the U:Sg person around here... I just started looking at this wiki and editing stuff yesterday. Actually I've never edited a wiki before in my life... but UNLIMITED:Saga is my favorite game and I really want to help out :) I especially love the lore, stories, and designs in the game so hopefully I can help with that.

{C}I also have been looking around and wanted to run these suggestions by you and see what you think... I don't know how easy/difficult this would be to change, but I think it would improve the site: That's it :) Hopefully I can help to improve this wiki, too :D It seems like an exciting project. I had a lot of free time yesterday, though... I don't normally get this much chance to sit around on the computer...
 * The character pages have a section called "Initial Stats;" however, I think this is misleading. By that description, I think "initial stats" would refer to their ability and elemental levels when they are first recruited. The parameters listed in these sections, though, are their ability/elemental making levels. I think these are closer to "base stats" as they are not just "initial," but they are present and constant throughout the game. The game also refers to them specifically as "making levels" so I don't see why it woudln't hurt to call them that. Their actual "initial stats" or parameters they have when they are recruited are not even listed.
 * I think there are a lot of places where the term "side-quest" is used where "adventure" would seem a lot better. I know it seems stupid, but I think a good wiki uses the terms as they are used in the game. In the game, quests (main and side-quests) are called adventures. For example, on the pages for the towns, I think it would be a good idea to list available adventures, and list the main adventures and optional adventures (even though main adventures do not yet have pages).

Question
How do you make a character infobox template like the one you use for you Unlimited SaGa characters so I can just add the template when I'm adding pages? The wiki help wasn't helpful. Xalibar 05:25, July 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * I didn't create the original USaGa template, Overbend did. I did alter it for use on the SaGa Frontier 2 pages and my profile though.
 * From what I remember you need to create a new template page. This must start with the word "Template:", then the name/use of the page. Example: http://saga.wikia.com/wiki/Template:CharBoxUSAGA is the one I used for the USaGa characters.
 * You should be able to copy the table format from the above page (the USaGa infobox) into your new page and edit the data fields and boxes accordingly to the game(s) you want it for. I'm not the best at formatting code so I only editted the main titles and headings and didn't play around with the fields, sizing, colour or anything.
 * When you are done, save the page (obviously!) and when you edit other pages you should be able to click: Insert - Template - Other template/Magic word - then Search for your new template name. When you select it (if done right) you'll be able to enter the specific data for that page into the infobox template.
 * Hopefully that's not too confusing, and might also be helpful! If not, feel free to reply. I might be able to help further or give it a go myself if you're struggling. Protector Wind 10:00, July 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks!--Xalibar 02:49, July 28, 2011 (UTC)

Congratulations
I know you didn't request this, but I have changed your user rights to administrator! Perhaps, this can rectify the situation. You seem genuinely concerned enough. I am quite busy at the moment (although, as you can see, I do check my e-mail), and perhaps we will work together in the future! ▫  Icysugarspike   talk 17:30, September 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for responding so quickly and thanks a lot for the admin rights. I'm on the Wikia pretty much everyday so I should be able to keep an eye on things. Thanks a lot, hope to see you around sometime! Protector Wind 11:29, September 15, 2011 (UTC)

Hey
Hey, what's up new on your end? :)

My SaGa series retrospective video might show up somewhere 2012, hope you don't mind, giving at least a little bit of help there. FarelTheGecko 07:16, October 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * My side of the Wikia (Unlimited SaGa and SaGa Frontier 2) has slowed down a little bit recently as I try to decide what to do next. I have a big list of stuff I'd like to add but not sure where to start really. Other parts are picking up with some new members joining and updating various pages. I'll need to check over the edits/updates properly, but it seems to be relevant/useful info at the moment. There was a spate of malicious spam edits a few weeks back (hence my new admin status), but thankfully it seems to have stopped and I've undone all the changes.


 * I know people have lives outside the Wikia (myself included) so don't overly worry about getting your vids done as soon as possible or what not. It'll be done whenever it gets done and that's fine!


 * Protector Wind 09:12, October 20, 2011 (UTC)

Yes, I know, I gotta say, the site evolves quite well, didn't expect this. I am not really working with this site much anymore, but .... I want to do the review and promote the site in it for other fans. And I'm glad you became an admin, how did that even happen? I recall us having real problems with that one.

In 2012 I'll make the video and I want to get support from a lot of people, about the first saga games, about the first saga frontier. I really want to know what the community fanbase thinks. I'm only mostly familiar with Saga Frontier 2, Unlimited Saga and Romancing, which are the games that I want to focus on, but I don't want to ignore the rest...

FarelTheGecko 06:36, October 21, 2011 (UTC)

Come on back
It's lonely here! :) ▫  Sir ISS   talk 22:10, December 5, 2011 (UTC)

Hey, welcome back, see you're adding stuff to some of the other games on the site, which is awewsome!


 * I'm still here and check the Wiki everyday, but things seem to have slowed down a little recently, especially as my knowledge is limited to only 2 games in the series unfortunately. I've got some projects planned (see my profile) but am drafting/thinking them through before starting as they are both daunting and fairly complex. Protector Wind 20:00, December 6, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, I feel welcome! I read your profile and I wish I could help, but even though I own both of the games mentioned, my area of expertise is really Minstrel Song. Take all the time you need with your plans! ▫  Sir ISS   talk 00:31, December 7, 2011 (UTC)

As per the Rehaul...
Thanks and thanks again! I've actually been sick all day, and started obsessing on the damn computer to kill time and, well, once I put my nose to the grindstone...;) Let's bring this wiki back from the edge of the howling abyss! ▫  Sir ISS   talk 21:04, December 21, 2011 (UTC)

Hey there
It's been a while, college occupies me a lot. I made some small alterations. I added links to pages related to the material talked about. How have you've been?

FarelTheGecko 14:19, February 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the new stuff! I've been good, just adding bits and pieces here and there myself. I just don't seem to have any prolonged periods of free time to add all the stuff I'd like to, but I'm getting there little by little.Protector Wind 10:45, February 19, 2012 (UTC)

Encyclopedia Gamia's RPG Portal
Hello Protector Wind. I'm letting you know that I've added the SaGa Wiki to Encyclopedia Gamia's (formerly Wikia Gaming) RPG Portal. Best of luck! -Revitalizer 18:07, April 29, 2012 (UTC)

I'm always trying to update and improve this wiki, so thanks a lot for being added to the Gamia list! Protector Wind 07:07, April 30, 2012 (UTC)


 * No problem! Wiki editors devote a lot of time and effort to their Wikis so it's always nice to try and let a greater range of people know about them. -Revitalizer 23:42, May 4, 2012 (UTC)
