  • Set up a good amount of background guides which follow the policy and are good examples of how to continue other guides. Having one main example is good, but we should probably have a few that show different aspects of what can be done. -- Prod (Talk) 23:40, 7 December 2006 (CST)
  • There are a few game guides that are very close to completion, such as the Final Fantasy VII guide. Maybe we should collaborate to complete the almost-but-not-quite completed guides?--Froglet 21:36, 28 December 2006 (CST)
    • These might be good "Guide of the Month" projects. This may enable us to shed light on these guides while still having another collaboration goal. echelon 00:10, 15 February 2007 (CST)
  • I don't think there is enough to this to make it a collaboration of the month, although I do agree it should be done. Unless you mean that we should all work on a few specific guides which would then become the "example guides". In that case I think we should focus on one at a time, such as Final Fantasy VII (see below).--DukeRuckley 14:29, 22 January 2007 (CST)

  • Key word: Usage Policy. Isn't this like a EULA? I mean, we give users priveledges and we also restrict the right to deny them said priveledges. I think this needs to be laid out and then additionally presented in StrategyWiki:Usage policy where it would be made into an enforced policy. --Notmyhandle (talk • contribs) 21:05, 14 May 2007 (CDT)
Maybe we can add something about who created the site as well, at the moment I can't find anything.--Rocky http://media.strategywiki.org/images/thumb/7/78/Rally-X_Rock.png/25px-Rally-X_Rock.png (Talk - Contributions) 12:48, 28 May 2007 (CDT)
Yeah, info on Ech and Ness are hard to find. --Notmyhandle (talk • contribs) 15:51, 28 May 2007 (CDT)
Completely agree, I created the page on Echelon and Garret's taken care of the Ness Page other than these, there's barely and info on either of them :P--Rocky http://media.strategywiki.org/images/thumb/7/78/Rally-X_Rock.png/25px-Rally-X_Rock.png (Talk - Contributions) 16:06, 28 May 2007 (CDT)
Definitely. We should also probably put them in the wp article as well. As for the actual collab, I like StrategyWiki:Usage Policy better because all of the enforced policies are not in the guide, so why break the trend? Also, having this on the main page will draw more attention to it and hopefully enlighten contributors to the point of my enlightenment. --Ryan SchmidtTalk - Contribs 16:18, 28 May 2007 (CDT)
We do have one, StrategyWiki:Images but I think that's it.--Rocky http://media.strategywiki.org/images/thumb/7/78/Rally-X_Rock.png/25px-Rally-X_Rock.png (Talk - Contributions) 16:20, 28 May 2007 (CDT)
What will go in this? -- Prod (Talk) 13:08, 13 February 2008 (CST)
I was thinking user rules (how not to get banned, etc.) and stuff like that. This could be part of Wiki-etiquette but I'm not so sure... --Notmyhandle (talk • contribs) 20:58, 13 February 2008 (CST)

  • This game is both hardcore (I'm going to have a callous on my right ring finger by the time I finish it), fairly short (should be easy to collaborate on a full guide) and a way to get retro gamers back into the genre. By providing info about this hack/mod ROM, we can gain a lot of traffic from interested individuals inspired by YouTube videos and the like. Additionally, noobs will be prone to needing help =) --Notmyhandle (talk • contribs) 20:34, 4 September 2007 (CDT)
  • I dunno if this deserves a guide of its own. If it's only one level then shouldn't it go under the regular guide? At this point, I'm more of a "delete" than "collaborate". -- Prod (Talk) 22:09, 5 September 2007 (CDT)
  • I'm in support of allowing ROM hacks, especially good ones, to be covered on SW, but I don't think this would work as a collab NMH. I mean, the walkthrough for this has to be a step-by-step set of instructions on exactly how to get through the game, and there's really only one correct solution. And let's face it: the YouTube video of this game can do that much more easily than any amount of typing. I can appreciate your fandom of the hack, believe me NMH. I'm just not sure if this particular hack lends itself well to SW. I would prefer to see more work done on Mario Adventure.
  • I'm not sure I like the idea of even having guides for ROM hacks. It all seems to be a legal gray-area to me and I don't care to test that boundary. It's also only one level and too difficult for someone to just get into and help make the guide for it. --Tathar (talk|contribs) 12:19, 15 October 2007 (CDT)
    • It's actually more than 1 level. I've only gotten like 60% through level two so I'm not sure how long it is. --Notmyhandle (talk • contribs) 19:03, 15 October 2007 (CDT)
  • I don't really even agree with having this guide. Regardless, there just isn't a very big audience for this, so can't be a collaboration. -- Prod (Talk) 13:08, 13 February 2008 (CST)

  • Just a thought on my part, this game is hot, and I have to figure quite a few members of the community have it and can help build it up by adding guides for collecting each star. And if we choose it, it will be on the front page, so so much the better. Procyon (Talk) 11:43, 2 December 2007 (CST)
  • Great game :). -- Prod (Talk) 12:03, 2 December 2007 (CST)

  • Given that this will become a pretty popular destination for Internet users, it only makes sense to promote it on the front page.--Dan 19:01, 5 April 2008 (CDT)
