Re: Table formatting
Typically, the MediaWiki version should not affect the table rendering display, and 1.12 isn't really an "outdated version" (it is an older version, yes, but is still one of the three "Current Versions" listed on the MediaWiki homepage).

I haven't had a chance to look at which tables are not showing up right, but if I were to hazard a guess, a typical situation is that users expect this wiki to have the same CSS rules defined as Wikipedia's, when it does not. The difference in CSS rules can greatly affect the display of various elements of the page.

A second common situation is the difference in Tidy implementation. The closest simple explanation is like two different printers try to fix your typos differently for you when you want to print out an essay you typed. So if you print your essay using one printer, certain typos gets "fixed" one way, whereas using a different printer "fixes" the typos a different way. Wikia's Tidy implementation is, I believe, slightly different from Wikipedia's, and that has often caused very messed up pages in the past when other users try copying articles from Wikipedia.

If you can point me to an example of what you want to do not working, I'll take a look and investigate if the cause is any of the two above issues, or if in fact 1.13 has implemented new syntax/rendering methods that breaks on older versions of MediaWiki, or if there is some other cause for the tables you want to not display right. -User:PanSola(talk/history) 18:55, 4 September 2008 (UTC)


 * The table thing has been fixed (or at least, the template you copied into Template:Sandbox now looks normal). The problem was with Template:!, where you had an extra line break before the NOINCLUDE tag, so when you use two Template:! in a row, instead of getting:


 * (which informs MediaWiki to start a new tabel cell), the page's code was:


 * (which means something else and breaks the table formatting). If there are any other issues, feel free to let me know! (-: -User:PanSola(talk/history) 18:35, 5 September 2008 (UTC)


 * You are very welcome (-: -User:PanSola(talk/history) 02:28, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Welcome!!!
Thanks for the good job on welcoming the other users to this wiki btw!!! Keep up the good work! (-: -User:PanSola(talk/history) 18:56, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Re: Top Conent category
''This is meant to be an "editor's choice" list that the admin of each wiki can populate. You can add articles to the top of this list here: MediaWiki:Most popular articles. If there are no entries on that page (or fewer than 7 entries), the rest of the list will automatically be populated with the articles with the highest traffic on that wiki. ''

RE:Appearances
Yeah, the hair and eyes bit should be removed after a pic for some appearances is uploaded for some characters.

Re: Sign unsigned comments
not entirely sure what you have in mind is what I have in mind, but on GuildWiki we have a Template:Unsigned which you can borrow, if it's the thing that does what you want it to do. If you meant something else, please let me know in more detail what you want to do. (-: -User:PanSola(talk/history) 21:42, 15 September 2008 (UTC)


 * The page history and recentchanges are pretty much the only way to find out. -User:PanSola(talk/history) 23:26, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Re:Preload
the include-related tags do different things when it comes to preloading. Sometimes they get copied over verbatim, sometimes they gets parsed so that stuff inside noinclude tags get excluded. It depends on the parser function. Right now preload is working in verbatim mode, which doesn't actually hinder the usage of preloading the template, even if it adds clutter. -User:PanSola(talk/history) 16:52, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
 * To elaborate, the "preload=BlahBlahBlah" parameter is supposed to copy everything inside the BlahBlahBlah page, and put it in the edit buffer of the new page. Therefore it is technically doing what it is being told to do. You just need to tell it to do something else to get the result you intended. -User:PanSola(talk/history) 17:03, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Re:Chrono
They used some CSS tricks to make the header invisible on their front page. -User:PanSola(talk/history) 06:06, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Welcome
Sorry, I waited a while, but i just kinda figured: I welcomed myself on Wikipedia, On Home Improvement wiki, and uh OBJECTION!!! --Bagster1 - T A L  K  03:18, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Gamespot
Yes, i am the same person who posted that 'Contradictions' topic. As for me? Case 3-1 hooked me. So... ummm... what now...uhhh...don't remove your SD card...*snore* THOMASNATOR 11:39, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Franz quote
The quote I'm not 100% sure about. I'm sure there's an example of Franz saying something that had an obscene amount of fools in it but whether that's an accurate quote or not, I dunno. I'm replaying the games atm (hence all the Rise from the Ashes edits) so I'll see. I'll take it down just now and put up another one I will know is accurate. Strabo412 20:21, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

I'm So Sorry
I only got about 60 % done near christmas. Then I accidently left my Ds at my mom's house. 2 weeks later I came back and....and the top screen was broken off. I can't play my Ds anymore. I'm sorry I dissapointed you. TKOTL

So...anymore news about Gyakuten Kenji ? I haven't had the luxury of a computer for a while. TKOTL

What demo ? TKOTL

The box for the game seems awesome TKOTL

Spotlight Request
Hi. Ace Attorney Wiki looks good -- you are doing a great job with it. We do need the sitenotice to be less than two lines however. Personally, I'd say it's ok not to have the big spoiler warning in it; say it somewhere on the front page if you think it's really necessary and let it go. But how you shorten it is up to you. Once that's taken care of I'll be happy to add you guys to the spotlight list.

I've asked one of the gaming community helpers to talk to you about other ways you can promote the wiki as well. -- Wendy (talk ) 23:25, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

RE: Gyakuten Kenji
I too, do not speak Japanese and I don't have it. I have been very interested, so I decided to collect information from other sources and expand the GK stuff on here. I tried usin your new template, but whenever I tried to put something past the first character for witnesses and chars. they would end up as a hidden structure, and the evidence, image 2, and I believe time also were not blank, but had the Flippier999 01:24, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Hey
Hey Capefeather, I'm Richard1990, part of Wikia's gaming team. I'm just dropping by to gave your wiki some search engine optimization (SEO). The main thing I wanted to do was to change MediaWiki:Pagetitle and MediaWiki:Pagetitle-view-mainpage so that they include 3 keywords that people often use to search for topics related to this wiki's subject. This will improve the rank this wiki will have when people search for those terms, resulting in a growth in the wiki's community. The Magic Bullet explains this and has some more tips. You may also want to use Wikipedia's Wikia template by using it on Wikipedia's articles related to this wiki's subject. I've also left this message on the talk pages of the other active administrators.

So is it alright if I edit MediaWiki:Pagetitle and MediaWiki:Pagetitle-view-mainpage?--Richardtalk 16:56, 6 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Whenever I've used the Wikia template, most of the time it stays there. There's just a few select editors who are strict regarding external links, so you could always try to put it in an article and see what happens.--Richardtalk 19:50, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

AAI: Confusion and Apology
Quite frankly, the page wasn't like that when I left. I just uploaded the North American box art in place of the logo in the template. Of course, it is probably my fault, and I apologize for the mishap. --Tutuboy95 20:29, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for the invite. I just created a page on the Jammin' Ninja and could use some help there. Thanks! --SleepingDragon7 17:01, 9 August 2009 (AEST)

Character Heights
Since Court Records conveniently provides the heights of (most) characters in centimeters, should we put the measures on the site (maybe both metric and customary measurements)? --Tutuboy95 22:47, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Hmm. That sucks. Ah well. Since most of the characters are from Phoenix's time, anyway, it shouldn't be too much of a problem, right? I hope...--Tutuboy95 21:45, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Audio clips
Hi. Sorry for bothering you again, but is there any way to upload audio onto the wiki? I was thinking that we could insert audio for the characters yelling Objection!, Hold it! and such.--Tutuboy95 21:36, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Google question
Hi. I'm an admin at the Ace Attorney Wiki, and I've been following the wiki's Google ranking for a while now. For a long time, it sat around the 40-60 range. However, one day, it suddenly shot up to one of the top spots, with only high-profile stuff like the official site, Wikipedia and Gamespot above it. A while after that, the link completely disappeared except for a link to Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney somewhere in the 300s. Would anyone know what happened here? capefeather 14:34, September 1, 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi there! I moved your post over here, so we can talk about it on the wiki itself. I'm really glad you're interested in your Google rank!


 * I just checked for Ace Attorney, and I'm seeing your wiki at #61 right now -- so hopefully you're seeing it back, too. Google is a mysterious beast sometimes, and strange glitches can come up. There are lots of databases distributed all over the world, so when the rank changes, sometimes it takes a while for the update to travel around to all the different databases. You can see the search results one way, and a friend on the other side of the country sees them a different way, because the databases aren't in sync yet. Also, sometimes weird glitches just happen. So I wouldn't worry if you notice something weird, unless it lasts longer than a week.


 * I've been doing a lot of work figuring out how to make our wikis show up better in Google. I recently posted a set of suggestions on a Central forum page -- Primer in search engine optimization. Looking at your main page, I think there's some ideas there that could help you out. Do you want to take a look, and let me know what you think?


 * If you want to talk about it, you can just respond right here; I'll watchlist your talk page so I'll get the message. :) -- Danny (talk ) 19:18, September 1, 2009 (UTC)


 * Well, I'm not seeing the wiki at all. Around the 60s is Neoseeker's Ace Attorney Wiki, though. I suppose I'll wait and see what happens.


 * I read the primer and I began to wonder how I was going to make all the changes suggested in the primer. I looked at the example wikis given and everything became a lot clearer. I've redone the Main Page mostly based on the Muppet Wiki's formatting, but I'm not entirely sure about the placing of some of the sections. The random quote, for example, has been placed at the bottom, but that seems rather counterproductive for the whole point of the random quote. capefeather 21:16, September 1, 2009 (UTC)


 * We must be getting results from different databases right now -- I checked again, and I'm definitely seeing our wiki at #61. Let me know if you're still not seeing it in a week or so -- if there was a glitch, it should correct itself soon.


 * And I really like what you're doing with the main page! The portal at the top looks great. It's good for Google, and it shows off your content as soon as someone comes to the site. I agree that the random quote is pretty much out of the way right now, but I'm sure you'll be able to find a place for it. It would also be great if you had a couple paragraphs of text about the Ace Attorney series -- the origin, the variations, the creators, whatever's interesting about the history. That's another thing that's a plus both for Google and for new readers, who might like to see an overview of the topic before they dive into the details. -- Danny (talk ) 21:47, September 1, 2009 (UTC)

Evidence images
Why are you making some of the evidence icons "fanmade images" (e.g. the folding screen icon)? And don't the Redd White and Misty Fey mugshots count as evidence images since they are photographs you can use as evidence in Turnabout Sisters? Strabo412 20:15, January 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry. I made a mistake. capefeather 21:30, January 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * No worries, I was just confuzzled, that's all. ^_^ Strabo412 21:33, January 20, 2010 (UTC)

Morgan Fey IS Valerie Hawthorne's stepmother
Why did you erase that detail?

She married her father, so she's her stepmother.

And please, don't ignore me.

I'm very sorry, BUT WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?!
I said that Daryan's guitar looks like Gibson SG, on Daryan's conversation page, I didn't do anything wrong. What is wrong with you?!

77.127.12.208 19:43, February 16, 2010 (UTC)

No, it wasn't the welcome messege.
Every single edit I did, you decided it's a purging.

What is the purging of writing the Morgan is Valerie's stepmother?

What is the purging of writing in Gavin's convesation page that his guitar looks like Gibson SG to me?

I would like you to answer those questions.

AAI case images
Hey. Is it possible to change the case template for AAI so the two case art images can be used instead of what's there currently, like the 1st, 2nd and 3rd games? Unless you think it's better as is... Strabo412 21:23, March 2, 2010 (UTC)

Categories
Huh? I don't understand. I deleted some categories from some pictures then re-did them, since they weren't working for some reason. Is that what you mean? Strabo412 16:30, March 5, 2010 (UTC)

LANG ZI Wiki? LOL!
That's Pretty Funny! Broccoli Vingar Chicken Cake!

...
Ok, I know that they are not "witnesses" because they use logic to testify.

But, Franziska is not a "witness" in Turnabout Airlines neither, is she?

- O -

You are welcome!

I pity the fool
Apparently the Night Elf Mohawk is migrating and not giving out more of those Mohawk Grenades, we need someone to sue them guys and get them back so we can pity them fools. 24.171.200.78 05:48, April 12, 2010 (UTC)

Creating links to images
How do I create a link to an image?I'm stuck.TheNewEditor 00:24, May 16, 2010 (UTC)TheNewEditor

Thanks?
Uhh thanks for the offer I'll keep that in mind

Hmmm?
I suspect the "certain editor" comment may have been directed at me, for which I apologise. Unlike my last edit to the Olga Orly page, in which I put my reason for deleting something without actually deleting it (*sigh*), this time I think I made a start on the page then got distracted or something. Sorry about that.

On a completely separate note, how long do you think the released templates on the AAI pages should stay up for? Strabo412 11:08, May 30, 2010 (UTC)

I'd say maybe six months after the game has been released everywhere would be a good time to drop them - in other words, 'till July 19th. Seems like a good time to me. --Zeel1 15:08, May 30, 2010 (UTC)

Redirecting
I'm a patroller from Metroid Wiki, and am one of the top editors on the site. I wanted to create a Redirect to the Jammin' Ninja, and figured it would be the same as my site, since most other things are. However, I realized that #REDIRECT does not work on this site. Either way, can you show me how to create them? There are just a lot that need to be made. - TheSuperZeldaMan 00:40, June 25, 2010 (UTC)
