Final Fantasy News?[]
Mymindislost - You made me forget my dreams when I woke up to you sleeping... TALK - 07:04, 13 November 2007 (UTC) | |||
What do you guys think about adding a FF News section to the main page, or something? Most of the larger wikis have one, though I'm not saying that means we should have one. Hell, I don't even care that much. It just came to mind while I was at the main page of another wiki. Thoughts? | |||
It'd be pretty cool. A good place to put new game announcements and new screenshots. | |||
Crazyswordsman - Final Fantasy VI, because Drake says he wants to link to FF7 every day, which is bad because that game is so far inferior to FF6. TALK - 20:22, 13 November 2007 (UTC) | |||
You're in charge, MMIL. | |||
Mymindislost - You made me forget my dreams when I woke up to you sleeping... TALK - 21:34, 13 November 2007 (UTC) | |||
ME?! O_O I guess I could try, but I really don't know where to look for the latest game news. I'll give it a shot in my sandbox as far as the look and what-have-you go. Keep a look out! ^_^ | |||
kingdom hearts[]
in two years there gonna come out with kingdom hearts 3
I see... This isn't the Kingdom Hearts Wiki you understand? | |||
Goldberry2000 - That was a rhetorical question, and the answer was my fist TALK - Sandbox 23:37, 13 November 2007 (UTC) | |||
And this isn't "Main Page" discussion, anyway. Jesus, I wish people would pay some fucking attention around here for a change... | |||
- Ah but KH is final fantasy even if FF isn't KH. ((Sorta like how a Square is a retangle)) and thus should be included in here....
No it isn't. It's a Disney game with a few Final Fantasy elements in it. | |||
Maverick King - You are not a Snake and I am not an Ocelot. We are men with names. TALK - When the lambs stopped screaming {{{time}}} | |||
There's talk of another KH coming for PSP. Are we gonna include this in the wiki? Cuz remember "This isn't the Kingdom Hearts Wiki" | |||
I still adopt the "no Kingdom Hearts in FFWiki" stance. Anyway, the KH wiki seriously needs help. If you want to expand on that, go expand it there, not here. @MK: If you're talking about Birth by Sleep, that's old news, if you're talking about something else, obviously you've been listening to rumors too much. | |||
Maverick King - You are not a Snake and I am not an Ocelot. We are men with names. TALK - When the lambs stopped screaming {{{time}}} | |||
Ugh. wow, i am behind the times. Well since it's old news, and it's not on this wiki, i guess I'll just add one and one together... Just wanted to see before I did something stupid. | |||
Featured Article[]
DrakemasterDrake - "I would rather live a short life of glory than a long one of obscurity." TALK - {{{time}}} The clock on this site is so messed up, why bother? | |||
Seeing as there hasn't been any XII articles featured yet, how about Baltheir or Basch as the next featured article? I know Baltheir will probaly prove more popular (he's a british Han Solo), Basch's article isn't bad. | |||
Balthier isn't the british Han Solo. Balthier isn't worthy of being mentioned in the same sentence as Han Solo or any other fictional copyrighted character. As for your question, one of those crappy fake ass espers have been featured once if I remember correctly. I vote for Basch though, although there are better articles out there. | |||
AK is right, Belias has been featured. For December, I'm trying to think of what a good festive article would be. | |||
DrakemasterDrake - "I would rather live a short life of glory than a long one of obscurity." TALK - {{{time}}} The clock on this site is so messed up, why bother? | |||
How about Moogle? They're cute and have that celebration kind of feeling associated with all the holidays in December. | |||
I vote Dwarves because they remind me of christmas elves. | |||
DrakemasterDrake - "I would rather live a short life of glory than a long one of obscurity." TALK - {{{time}}} The clock on this site is so messed up, why bother? | |||
How are elves like dwarves? They're the complete opppisite, don't you play D&D? Nope, it's gotta be moogles, they've got that holiday magic. | |||
Crazyswordsman - Final Fantasy VI, because Drake says he wants to link to FF7 every day, which is bad because that game is so far inferior to FF6. TALK - 23:51, 27 November 2007 (UTC) | |||
Moogles are the winter article. Feature Moogles! Kupo! | |||
DrakemasterDrake - "I would rather live a short life of glory than a long one of obscurity." TALK - {{{time}}} The clock on this site is so messed up, why bother? | |||
YEAH! 2-1, moogles. | |||
I was going to choose Shiva for obvious reasons, but if you really want Moogles, then Moogles it shall be. | |||
Forget Moogles. In the acme of arrogance I now nominate my own page. Let the December featured article be the User:BlueHighwind page. Anyone second? | |||
Uhhh I'm not taking you serioulsy? | |||
It may be a joke nomination but it is a real nomination all the same. Just like me in more than a few ways. So Azul do you second? | |||
Uhhh sure | |||
Well that means that I now have two votes. My page has actually tied with Moogle for the page of the month. My insane scheme might actually come to fruition. Go me! Go me! Go! Go! Me!! =) | |||
I'm being a formality twit but isn't FA votes go here? But I digress. My vote for Moogles! Recent votes as of 05:05, 28 November 2007 (UTC):
| |||
DrakemasterDrake - "I would rather live a short life of glory than a long one of obscurity." TALK - {{{time}}} The clock on this site is so messed up, why bother? | |||
Yeah, User:BlueHighwind isn't a very festive article, but I might vote for it in January. | |||
I acutally like that idea better. My birthday is in January after all. Its a much better fit. I'll remove myself from the race and will now throw my support behind the Moogles. So here is the battle as it stands of 20:53, 28 November 2007 (UTC):
| |||
Well I vote Shiva, for obvious reasons so it's:
| |||
My vote is actually for Shiva, but it's too late now. Moogles it is. | |||
A news box?[]
It's time we should put a box for news events. | |||
I vote to yes to both of those. | |||
Tell me, is that to your liking? | |||
Can news consist of like a mini article of upcoming FF games or info on them? If so I hav alot of info on the upcoming FF:CC games that I can report :) | |||
That's one of the reason why I cleaned up the Midgar Press, for news related to the Wiki AND Final Fantasy. If Mini articles is what you mean by the sections in the Midgar Press page, then yes it can! | |||
So can I write the new info I got of the FF:CC game in the Midgar Press or only MMIL can do that? | |||
I think I already made it clear at the Midgar Press that MMIL is the executive editor, kind off like a moderator... maybe, but anyone can add a report. | |||
Festive Theme[]
Add a touch of festivities in the FFWiki while we're at it? Nice mild backgrounds or stuff like that? Use background colors from this wallpaper?  | |||
DrakemasterDrake - "I would rather live a short life of glory than a long one of obscurity." TALK - {{{time}}} The clock on this site is so messed up, why bother? | |||
I like this idea, Bluer. | |||
Glad you like it. I was hoping it would be in the veins of Wookieepedia's background: blue and some drawings at the top most part. | |||
I have uploaded an image, which I propose to be used to replace our logo just for this festive season.
| |||
LOL I like it Blue. I think it should be our logo, for now, but are we gonna change our logo as the seasons/holidays change? | |||

Apologies, CSM, but it's officially Squeenix's. Part of one of the wallpapers that can be found here. Here's a logo I made. http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff25/bluerfn/sdsdsd.jpg | |||
We'd have more fanart if it didn't keep on getting deleted. Yes, I am still pissed about the loss of Lunethxingus, and I will remain unhappy until I can find it again so put it on my Picture of the Week Archives. | |||

Who keeps deleting fanart? | |||
Well according to some rule I've never heard of before, you need the permission of the artist in order to post fan art. I mean that kind of makes sence, however I'm still annoyed to see several images I've posted be deleted. | |||

That's for other people's fanart. YOUR fanart can be uploaded. Draw and upload your pics. | |||
Isn't that kind of a given..? Last I checked, you're the artist of your own fanart, and I'm pretty sure one would say no to oneself about using it... | |||

Oh, oh, oh, oh! You did it! You actually added an FFX character to the logo after I requested it. I feel much love and appreciation. For myself. But mostly for you to actually bother lookig for the right image - I should have found it myself and offered it. But anyways, cheers! | |||

Firstly, this is Main Page discussion only. Secondly, if its an official Square / Square Enix published doujinshi, I don't see why not, though it would be called a manga then, but I would guess this is an unofficial, amateur, outside SE doujin. | |||

layout cleansing?[]
I have revamped two Main Pages in other wikis which makes for proper layout and less cluttery looking. If I could I'd do the same for this wiki too. Any objections? Particularly CSM? | |||
Hey, go ahead. Whatever helps you sleep at night, man. | |||

Do we have that feature? Maybe it's just that I'm using the Monobook instead of Quartz skin, but I don't see any tab like that. Should we still do it? Diablo said it just made a red link... :/ | |||
These interlanguage features work in the new Monaco skin apparently. I think Quartz has one too. I've switched. Well, if there are people of other language who's gonna take care of them, thats fine. | |||
Zidane Tribal[]
I'm so glad that Zidane is featured as This Month's Featured Article! With his induction, most of the main characters have been covered. I have to wonder . . . Is Vaan next? | |||
No. As long as I'm still here, he'll never be featured. | |||
Ignore that last comment. BTW, we've featured continuous character articles so it won't be another character article anytime soon. You can nominate any quality article though. | |||
GameSpot mirror[]
Did anyone notice that there's a GameSpot mirror of Final Fantasy Wiki? Oddly enough, it's registered under the Wikia domain, and it appears to be a complete mirror of this wiki except for the GameSpot advertisements at the side of the pages. I noticed it as the top referrer to this wiki for the past month (99,988 referred from there to here as of now). ➳Quin 09:12, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah. It's because the Gaming Wikia has some sort of collaboration with Gamespot to have its gaming wikias featured in Gamespot. IDK the details, though. [^_^]/ 09:15, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
- Ah, it's not a mirror, but merely a different URL and skin (editing from there right now). ➳ Quin 09:16, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

New main page design?[]
Is it just my computer, or is the main page design different. If it did change, it doesn't look good, everything's pushed together, and some things can't fit in the boxes (that may just be my computer either way). | |||
It's not just you, everything changed. It's ugly as hell now.
| |||
You guys need to pay attention: Forum: Main page design. If you have suggestions for how the page can be improved, or have designs of your own to submit, its best done there. | |||
I didn't pay attention to that forum because there was never a need to redesign the main page. It looked perfect IMO.
| |||
I was paying attention, and that is what I thought happened, until i didn't see an add on the front page. Edit: that's probably because of my skin, monobook. | |||
I don't know about you but I kinda like the new design | |||

Refurbish?[]
While reading the forum thread on "personal forums", I've come across a very good suggestion by Drake about our Main Page, and how we can use it to promote good faith editing. Basically, this is something done at the KHWiki and was set up after the "takeover" of the KHWiki. As the Main Page was redesigned again and again, a "Noticeboard" of sorts was set up to ease users who wanted to help with the improvement drive and find the articles that needed cleanup and stuff. Did it work? Maybe... when I went there after a long time, I see the same articles listed on the Noticeboard *sigh*
But all is not lost. Perhaps this effort will work here. But this may mean the "Final Fantasy Series" box has to be moved/removed - but the Category Index may help to replace the box's function. So, I would like opinions. List them down below, sign with four tildes and don't use your talk template. I'll start with my opinion:
- Remove the Final Fantasy Series Box and replace them with a "Noticeboard" on articles to work on. I know a code to make the list refresh itself with randomly selected articles, so users can seek out which articles they want to work on. The categories can be divided between "Articles Needing Images", "Articles currently being re-structured", "Articles for Improvement", "Articles in need of cleanup", "Articles in need of de-Wikification", "Articles to be expanded", "Articles to be merged" and "Articles with Incomplete Tables". That way, lots of things to be done, and it encourages mainspace editing! Good? Bluer 11:49, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
- Sounds good to me. Maybe it'll help me start editing in the mainspace again. However, I think we should also have a category called "Articles to rewrite" which just aren't good enough, and need redoing. JudgeZarbi • TALK • 12:25, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
- Articles to be merged should be removed. Merging is a task that can be simply done by one person in a not-that-long time. It takes effort to get images, retrieve enemy info, re-write articles and expanding on them. Though as a replacement for the FF series box? You could collapse it, or simply link to it but it has a right to be on the mainpage, IMO. I Lion Heart I 12:33, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
- Perhaps make the series template collapsable, so it can remain, but not hog up space? Diablocon 21:29, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
I need to shelf this proposal for a while. Technical considerations and stuff like that. When a solution is found we'll commence refurbishing again. Thanks for your opinions and cooperation. Bluer 09:03, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
An idea - we have the "Random Article" link on the left, right? What about a "Random Stub" link on the Main Page? Or, like, "Random Article for Improvement" to the same effect but more broad in the articles it links to? Drake Clawfang
- I'm with Drake on this one, this is a good idea. Also with Diablo, so the table can stay in the Main PageCecil
- Drake, I'm not even sure that's possible. The only way it may work is if it were to be edited manually, and not working with the articles in the category. If there is a way then someone tell me, but as far as I am aware, it's impossible. And people are more likely to ignore a "random article" than one "suggested article". I mean, we see people who like to improve articles to "Featured" status... if we highlight one page, then those people will be attracted to that one page, and hey, every month we'll have at least one improved article. But then, I'd prefer to just have one thing on the main page rather than different suggested pages in different categories. I just can't see that working so well, even though it's the same but there's more choice. --I Lion Heart I 15:48, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
- It is possible, yet from what I hear from Wikia staff, this and the suggestion I had for the refurbishment will eat a lot of server resources. Plus, I had reconsidered this method being installed here {{rasp}}.
- I had collapsed the content box one day. Now I'm considering if those "Suggestions Box" be above it or below it. Bluer 16:34, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
- Below. So that the collapsed doesn't get shoved to the bottom, but even though it is at the top, it doesn't take a lot of space. I Lion Heart I 16:47, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
The font becomes gigantic![]
I don't know what happened, but when I opened the page, all the fonts were 3 times bigger! what happened? or is it just my computer? SilverSummoner 02:39, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
- Hold Ctrl and Scroll. Or Hold Ctrl+"+"/Ctrl+"-" until you get normal sizes... I Lion Heart I 13:25, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
DYK?[]
Did you know about the "Did you know"s that's seen in most wikias? It's time we did something like this. Adding it on to the Main Page. We could make it show five DYK facts at every page load, working like the Random Quote feature. What say you? Shall we have volunteers to head this project? Bluer 15:53, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
- The coding should be relatively simple, if we could find a list of facts to use. What types of facts do we mean, basic stuff, just random tidbits, or little known info? Drake Clawfang
- Well, anything, I would guess. Pull a few facts from each article that has something of value, convert each fact into a short scentence including a link to the original article, and there's your fact list. --SCM 23:10, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
- Ah, I remember proposing something like this ages ago, so I fully back it. I could probably get a good list of beginning facts going.
- Speaking of things other Wikias have, I'm surprised we don't have a featured image. We have more than enough images to do that. There's also the "On this day" feature, but that's going a little too far I think. Diablocon 23:13, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
- I'm gonna spend an hour or two and make the core coding for the template, we can worry about/add content afterwards. Give me an hour or so, like I said. Drake Clawfang
- Well, anything, I would guess. Pull a few facts from each article that has something of value, convert each fact into a short scentence including a link to the original article, and there's your fact list. --SCM 23:10, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
Done the coding and added a lot of options, didn't take as long as I thought. Drake Clawfang
{{Random Fact}}
- Looks good. Tho what I envisioned is a content box with at least three at most five random facts thrown in at every page reload. Bluer 05:58, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
- You mean like this? A little tricky, but it works. The template now has three separate lists - one for each random option. So I think a good way to set that up is random game fact, random character fact, and random misc. fact. Gonna do that now. Drake Clawfang
- Okay, re-evaluation. Four facts: Game, Character, Spell/Item/Equipment, and Misc. How about that? Drake Clawfang
- Works for me :] Bluer 06:38, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
- Hey this "Did You Know" box is great! It's a quick way of learner stuff from Final Fantasy. Great idea Drake (or whoever made it). Squallinoa 08 06:40, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Featured Media[]
I how a question. How come you guys don't do a featured media column but other wikis do? Squallinoa 08 06:47, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
- That's something propagated by Wikia. Insterested to have the m in? Bluer 06:55, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
- Well I have this idea that I caught from Mortal Kombat wiki. In Mortal Kombat wiki, instead of voting for images to appear each month, they basically had a randomizer that randomly picks an image that was uploaded to the wiki. Everytime you vist the wiki or go into the main page, the image change. Squallinoa 08 06:59, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
- The randomizer would then need to go through a list of files. Pretty much crowding the Main Page already, in my opinion. Bluer 14:54, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
- I guess we can do a regular voting instead? It's up to you Bluer to have a Featured Media section. Or we can use the Happy Birthday one, if you like it. Or none. Squallinoa 08 16:32, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
- It might fit in the bottom right corner of the Main Page, seeing as how there's a large space there as of now, especially when the "Series" box is expanded. If we do something like this, it should probably be without voting, otherwise we'll have all the drama of the DNC when some person adores a particular picture and chats it up incessantly.

In Mortal Kombat wiki, instead of voting for images to appear each month, they basically had a randomizer that randomly picks an image that was uploaded to the wiki. Everytime you vist the wiki or go into the main page, the image change. Squallinoa 08 06:59, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
I have another idea, how bout polls? I like the way how Grand Theft Auto wiki did theres. Squallinoa 08 17:02, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
- I don't like polls. And hey, most polls will probably relate to characters, which battle in the DNC anyway. We see peoples opinions about things related to FF in other talkpages anyway. And last time I checked, the polls are broken. I Lion Heart I 17:07, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
- Crap, well I guess we can do a featured media, that is if Bluer agrees. Squallinoa 08 17:13, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
Happy Birthday Section[]
I had this funny idea, but not sure if you like. We should have a happy birthday column for the FF characters. Basically, this is another way of introducing some of the characters of the FF series. Whenever it's there birthday, the column will be like:
But the problem with it is trying to get through EVERYONE'S BIRTHDAY! We could do only a selected few (maybe from the main series). We could make a separate page listed the birthdays so everyone (including us) well know who's birthday is coming. And no, since we don't know how old they are, we would display their age. So what do you think? Love it, or think it's dumb? Squallinoa 08 07:51, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
- Some characters don't have birthdates, which makes this idea, while interesting, lacks coverage for the entire series. Bluer 14:49, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
- True. How bout this, underneath it, we'll put facts about the character. Like this:
- True. How bout this, underneath it, we'll put facts about the character. Like this:
- Rinoa is a character from Final Fantasy VIII
- Rinoa is the only female lead character that isn't a white mage, unlike Yuna, Aerith, Garnet, and Rosa.
- Rinoa weapon's is a blaster edge that is similar to a boomerang.
- Basically it will only have about 3-4 facts about the character and a link to the character's page. Not everyone has a birthday I know, but as I said, we can only pick a few selected characters, mostly noticable characters. Squallinoa 08 16:29, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
Ok, thank you. Is there any other ideas that we can use for the main page? Squallinoa 08 16:36, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Layout[]
Might I suggest a change to the layout? Currently, the template showing all the "Articles in need of help" categories extends down a bit. Here's my idea - make the category box one column instead of two, move the forum links to the left of that, and put the "Mission time" box above them and two wide. Can we see how that would look? Drake Clawfang
- Your suggestion would make the Category Box extend much further down by three/four lines than it is currently in both IE and FF. I think further changes are unnecessary. Bluer 14:55, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
- Too all - I cooked up an alternate design in my sandbox. I think it looks better, as the left side is no longer so cramped and that Mission Time box isn't sticking down so far. Everyone feel free to look and give me your opinions: User:Drake Clawfang/Sandbox. Drake Clawfang 21:22, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
The German Wiki[]
Just putting this out there, but the Final Fantasy Almanach links to us under "Partners" on their main page. Maybe we should return the honor by linking back? —Master Conjurer 04:26, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Please Disregard My Last Statement. I Actually See No Problems. | |||
I'd support that idea. ie: "Today, the following Users celebrate their birthday:
- User:ABC turns 18
- User:XYZ turns 12"
Also, on an unrelated note, when were these comments left. I'll feel like an idiot if these posts are old and forgotten. That's what the {{{time}}} thing is all about isn't it. AJ Werefang 04:06, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
Master Conjurer — (talk) 04:19, 27 March 2009 (UTC) | |||
It very much is. I have been advocating the use of {{{time}}} on the other wikis that use talk bubbles, and I require that time be signed to messages on my User talk pages. I can't believe the arguments people were making against Bluer when he began to require it on the whole wiki. | |||
- What possible use would this be (the birthday thing, not the time stamp thing)? It is not related to FF at all and thus has no place on our front page. Also, our user base is so small that for most days of the year it will go unused. Also, the original suggestion wasw for the birthdays of FF characters, not user. Diablocon 10:46, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Whoever did the joke article for April Fool's Day deserves an award. | |||

You should've seen the past years' jokes. My favorite was the German takeover. | |||

I'm gonna make a medal, and then I'll find out who does/did the April Fool's jokes. If anyone already know who it is, please tell me. | |||

EDIT CONFLICT X4!!!! @Deadlyslashsword: Was ist „gegrübeln“? Dieses Wort ist in keinem Wortbuch. @Last tsurugi: It was Diablocon, so far as I recall. I think Exdeath64 really deserves a medal, though. AND STOP EDITING THE PAGE SO I CAN GET A GODDAMN WORD IN. | |||

To "grübeln" is to ponder. Es tut mir leid. | |||
Here it is.
  April Fool's! Thanks for your jokes!!! You are a natural comedian and need to be recognised as such. Your April Fool's Jokes made many people laugh and really screwed with other people, as all April Fool's Day jokes should. You even messed with me! You shall out-joke the likes of Steven Colbert and Jon Stewert. Expect your own Comedy Central Special, quickly followed by your own show. Eventually, you will even meet |
The German April fool's joke was created by CSM. And as I remember it, not everyone liked it..... Master Conjurer, were you even around when we had it? | |||
Master Conjurer — (talk) 01:23, 3 April 2009 (UTC) | |||
I have been around much longer than people believe (and was anonymous for a while before that). I changed my user name at one point, due to "gender issues." | |||
What was the April Fool's Joke? o.o
10000th Article![]
BANZAI! FFWiki has finally reached its 10,000th article! But what was it, and who created it? | |||
Master Conjurer — (talk) 04:09, 7 April 2009 (UTC) | |||
First it was Blaze. Than I asked Diablo to delete VFDd articles. Then it reduced by something life 50. Than 8bit went on a spree creating "placeholders" for information. Kaze: The Glory of Life was one of these. By the end of the spree, I realised we had 10007 articles, but more than eight mainspace articles were VFDd, something life 14. Fae and 8bit got through them all and Griffen created the 10000th article, Library (Crystal Chronicles) without realising. ILHI 21:41, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
Online Users[]
Would it be possible to get something that showed what users are online? I just think it would be useful in talk pages. Anyone? | |||
Master Conjurer — (talk) 04:19, 13 April 2009 (UTC) | |||
Due to the nature of Wikia, it cannot be done for an individual wiki. I know there is a way for them to make it possible, but it won't happen (anytime soon) for a couple of reasons:
