Re:Wikitable
See my reply?


 * "Whoa, that's massive coding... just copy and paste the whole thing to here, or simply restore the previous thing? Also, seeing your sandbox, I like the way those planes and such are worked out- this might be a little much, but could you do that with the other AC games as well?

Missile Counts
Please read, what difficulty are you referring to when you made this edit?  Havoc  Reaper  48   18:59, March 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * I, of course, meant the normal difficulty level, because that is, well, normal. ^^ --Koveras Alvane 19:05, March 24, 2010 (UTC)

Your "Missions" Template
Can you change the "summary" part to "Objective:", and make a second place for info below the Obj. called "Mission Update:", for those evil two-part missions?  Havoc  Reaper  48   20:26, March 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * I can add it as an optional parameter but the "summary" field is really supposed to be used for all objectives in the mission. In other words, just add every objective to the summary in the order they come in. Since by far not all missions feature mission updates, making an extra parameter for them feels redundant to me. --Koveras Alvane 12:46, March 27, 2010 (UTC)

how do you unlock adf-01 ace 0


 * Hi, check out the List of aircraft in Ace Combat Zero. ;) --Koveras Alvane 06:37, April 8, 2010 (UTC)

New Template
Hey Koveras, could you make a template for battles in the Ace Combat series?  Proto  Stealth   23:42, April 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Uh, y'mean like a modified version of Template:War?  Havoc Reaper '48  23:19, April 11, 2010 (UTC)

Truth-e-luth. Proto  Stealth   23:42, April 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * Actually, we can reuse Template:War for that purpose after I tweak it a little. Wikipedia has that works for both wars and individual battles, because they are basically pretty similar in content. I'll see what I can do today. --Koveras Alvane 06:26, April 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * Alright, check it out. This is how it will look like: Battle of Arlon. I've left a redirect from Template:War on purpose, so we don't have to update all the links and transclusions. --Koveras Alvane 07:48, April 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * U DAER STEEL MAH "teh bawx" MISPELL'D EIDT SUMMARI??? ...anyway, good job, looks good. Now, are all the battles' articles categorized properly?  Havoc Reaper '48  18:52, April 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * I think so. Feel free to double-check, though. ^^ As for "teh bawx", teh lolcats knowz no copyrites. :P --Koveras Alvane 19:18, April 12, 2010 (UTC)

Kov, we need your MediaWiki/1337 skills again. Could you please make a locations/cities template? Oh, and a new mission one please; the other one is completely unformatted.


 * We already have a mission but that's for mission lists... I'll see what I can do. --Koveras Alvane 06:39, April 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * There you go: teh neu bawx 1 & teh neu bawx 2. --Koveras Alvane 09:50, April 14, 2010 (UTC)

teh neu bawx r nawt need'd?
Uh, List of missions in Ace Combat Advance much?  Havoc Reaper '48  18:48, April 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, there is nothing speaking against having both overview lists of missions for each game and a separate article for each mission. The lists are for general information and navigation, mission articles are for in-depth walkthroughs, tips, and trivia. As for the ACA mission list, unfortunately, I haven't played it so I cannot be of much help. :( --Koveras Alvane 19:19, April 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Dude, transfer the data from the articles to the chart...?  Havoc Reaper '48  19:32, April 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Don't see a point. From what I gather, the mission pages contain lots of stuff not needed in the overview list (like the plane recommendations), and very little actual summaries. A mission list still needs to be made at some point, but it's a long term objective, while the more immediate one would be to add teh bawx to the articles in the Category:Ace Combat Advance Missions. --Koveras Alvane 19:36, April 14, 2010 (UTC)

Infobox, Part Deux
Requesting support once again, Koveras. Could you please make a vehicle infobox? And a weapon one, too?


 * I can do it, but I need you to tell me what fields each of them should have. ^^ --Koveras Alvane 06:38, April 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Weaponry:
 * Type
 * Aircraft the weapon is compatible with
 * Aprox. range (even if it differs between games)
 * Number carried

Vehicles


 * Operators
 * Weaponry
 * Top speed
 * Uses


 * I've made the Template:Vehicle, but about the weapons one, I don't know. It seems you mean the weapons carried by aircraft, however, AFAIK, values of every field your requested vary a lot across different AC installments, so packing all of them including these variations into the infobox would literally blow it up. --Koveras Alvane 11:35, April 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * How so? Instead of simply making an space exclusively for the range in each game, you can simply put them in the same space. Example:
 * MSSL
 * Range: 800 (AC4)
 * 8200 (AC5/6)
 * I just don't see a point. What are you gonna write about in the main article body? --Koveras Alvane 18:19, April 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * As in?
 * Well, in the aircraft articles, we have historical information, and in game information, about which aces fly them, etc. Weapons, on the other hand, are so commonplace, that everything relevant to the gameplay of AC games is already stated either in the respective aircraft articles or my aircraft lists. --Koveras Alvane 18:22, April 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah, silly me, I almost forgot. Could you add a "manufacturer" part to the vehicle infobox?

 * That's done. ^^ --Koveras Alvane 18:40, April 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks a lot, aye. :)
 * Kov, we need you again, but this time it's off-site: we need a gang template in the Manhunt Wikia, Wikihunt (chainsaw executions FTW). Also, how's the weapons template?

 * Again, I need exact specifications which fields there should be in the bawx. As for the weapon template, I am not doing it, because I still don't see a point. :) --Koveras Alvane 07:02, May 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Of what infobox, exactly?
 * The gang infobox for the Manhunt Wikia. --Koveras Alvane 06:54, May 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah. 'Ere 'ey are, mate.
 * Gang
 * Type
 * Front
 * Businesses
 * Leader
 * Enemies
 * Affiliations
 * Affiliations

Also, concerning the weapon infobox, by the range part, I mean that it should look like this:


 * Here you go. And as I said, I'm not doing the weapons template, that's my final answer. :) --Koveras Alvane 06:56, May 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Leon_Fails_at_Chainsaw_Duels.jpg
 * Yeah, yeah, I'm still not doing it, though. %) --Koveras Alvane 19:34, May 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * *post-foam-at-the-mouth angrish* Hey Kov, remove the Manufacturer part from the Wikihunt Gang template & add a Vehicle part, will ya? And don't forget a weapons part.

Infobox, Part Trois
OK Kov, please make the Super Weapon & Song templates.  Proto  Stealth   18:15, May 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * As usual, I need to know which parameters to put into it. ^^ --Koveras Alvane 19:41, May 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Here they are.
 * Song
 * Get over here & see for yourself
 * Super weapon
 * Name
 * Type
 * Games
 * Energy (as in energy employed for firing particular weaponry; e.g. chemical energy for the Excalibur, and movement energy for flying fortresses, e.g. nuclear energy (speculated) for the Aigaion)
 * Armaments
 * Deployment (year, war)
 * Operators
 * Destroyed (date of destruction)
 * Destroyed (date of destruction)

PDQ, Koveras. We need to get ready for Joint Assault, you know.


 * There you go. :) --Koveras Alvane 14:48, May 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * You know Alvane, I'm wondering what would we be doing without your help. You've been a great help to us.  Proto  Stealth   15:04, May 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * P.S.: It doesn't bother you that I ask for template after template, correct?


 * I think I can answer your first question: you'd learn to program templates yourself. :D It's no rocket surgery, really, but I am really spoiling your all... As for the second question, no, I don't mind, as long as I agree that the requested templates are necessary. ^^ --Koveras Alvane 18:34, May 25, 2010 (UTC)

Template Trouble
Got ourselves a problem here: whenever I add the Song template to an article, the 'plate ends up blank.  Proto  Stealth   00:58, May 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, it is supposed to remain blank unless you specify some of the parameters. :) If you do, it should look something like in Emancipation (2001). --Koveras Alvane 08:36, May 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually, herein lies the problem: I add everything necessary to the template (excluding next & previous songs of the current album), including the correct video input (Video:INSERT NAME HERE, yet it ends up blank. Capishe?  Proto  Stealth   16:32, May 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Can you please save that article with the blank infobox, so I have an error case to work with? ^^ --Koveras Alvane 17:23, May 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thr u go lol  Proto  Stealth   18:16, May 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, naturally. It doesn't have any parameters. If you edit the page in plaintext mode, this is the code you'll see:

Sitting Duck is a track of the Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies Official Soundtrack.

The track begins with smooth guitar tones, until harps join in 0:20, followed by synth drums at 31 secs, at which point trumpets join. At 1:43, the trumpets are replaced by electric guitar, which plays at unison with the harp. At the 2:40 mark, the music drops the guitar, and at the 3:04, resumes with the tune used at the beginning.
 * My guess is that you are editing the article in rich-text mode and it doesn't save your parameters for the template. --Koveras Alvane 19:20, May 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah. Common problem, I guess. Nevertheless, thanks for clarifying this.  Proto  Stealth   01:02, June 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * You welcome. :) --Koveras Alvane 15:33, June 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Got another problem: I stole some code from Halopedia (or took it as a basis, to be exact) & made a weapons template. Problem is, the template is screwed up. Try to add it to a page & see how it ends up.
 * Also, inb4ragecuzofunecessarytemplates  Proto  Stealth   00:04, June 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, it obviously doesn't work because all it contains is documentation. The actual infobox code is not there. :) Also, you've messed up the &lt;noinclude&gt; tags. :) --Koveras Alvane 21:26, June 3, 2010 (UTC)
