User talk:Sir Teatei Moonlight

Hey there!
I'm PanchamBro from SmashWiki, the wiki dedicated to Super Smash Bros. I've just noticed your wiki, and while I don't represent the alliance, I would love it if you could join the Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance to represent the Xenoblade series. It would be a great opportunity to help expand and grow this wiki for information related to the Xeno series. That's all for me, take care! -- PanchamBro (talk • contributions) 03:48, 22 February 2021 (EST)
 * ah yes hellos we do intend to NIWA at some point we just need to be able to say "a community exists" which last time I checked with them through Toomai we didn't really STM (t) 07:38, 22 February 2021 (EST)

Purge
Is there a purge function? I'd like to have the latest template revisions appear and the Refresh button doesn't really cut it. Thanks! 11:44, 23 March 2021 (EDT)
 * You mean the refresh button in your browser yes? If so, the link called "Refresh" in the "more" dropdown (next to read/edit/etc) calls a purge. If that's what you were already doing, then uhhhh I dunno, it's never failed me before and you should point me to the problem page. STM (t) 17:07, 23 March 2021 (EDT)
 * The Refresh button I was talking about is the button in the "more" dropdown. I was trying to get my signature template updated in this talk page but it wouldn't update, even though the purge button works in the other wiki I edit at. I dunno... Myzza XN  17:15, 23 March 2021 (EDT)
 * Ah well on that talk page your sig was transcluded, so it's not calling the template anymore and thus would never be updated. (Incidentally, many wikis disallow doing signatures as always-called templates like this...we don't have a rule either way yet so I'll have to think about it.) STM (t) 17:22, 23 March 2021 (EDT)
 * Well on the wiki I'm from (Inkipedia), we do the signatures as always-called templates. However, the signature templates there get updated when the page is purged. Dunno how other wikis do it... Myzza XN  18:51, 23 March 2021 (EDT)

Protection Template
Hi STM, I made a draft for a protect template that would be used to nominate a page for protection. Every other wiki I've seen has one of these, so I feel that this wiki should have on too. You can see it here: User:XN/Template Protect. Myzza XN  11:14, 25 March 2021 (EDT)
 * Hmmm I dunno about this one. Protection is a pretty small deal compared to actions like deletion, and I imagine if there's an edit war, having a "protecc me plz" template would likely mean it gets added into the mix (as the reverters start adding and removing it in addition to the edits they want to keep) and probably just make things worse. I'm originally from SmashWiki, and they handle protection requests via the article's talk page (or a direct admin ask) rather than with this sort of template, because of how much more simple a thing it is.

 * Oki then! ミザ XN  17:59, 25 March 2021 (EDT)

Pages for updates
Hi STM, I was wondering if I pages for updates from the games in the Xeno series. Here is an example of such a page from Inkipedia:. I just wanted permission before getting started. Thanks! ミザ XN  14:07, 4 May 2021 (EDT)
 * I don't think we need whole pages for updates because we're not a series of competitive multiplayer games; our patches are mostly for smaller features and bugfixes rather than long lists of new content and balance changes. Just a chronological "update history" section on the game page itself should do fine. STM (t) 16:41, 4 May 2021 (EDT)
 * Then I'll get started on that as soon as I can! ミザ XN  17:14, 4 May 2021 (EDT)
