Hey there![edit]

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 (talkcontributions) 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[edit]

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! ミザ XN 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[edit]

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. STM (t) 17:37, 25 March 2021 (EDT)
Oki then! ミザ XN 17:59, 25 March 2021 (EDT)

Pages for updates[edit]

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: Version 5.4.0 (Splatoon 2). 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)

Username change[edit]

Hi STM! If possible (or allowed), I was wondering if I could get my username changed to ZephyrMoni. Thanks! SpookyPortal (talk) 17:35, 19 November 2022 (EST)

yeah I'll do it (maybe we should have a policy for this) STM (t) 17:41, 19 November 2022 (EST)

Username change?[edit]

Hello! Is it at all possible for my username to be changed to wildfiresnap? I came up with my current username when I was 12 years old and I cringe every time I have to see it (and I also don't want to be associated with Waluigi fans anymore). Thank you so much! I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this question. Waluigifan20 (talk) 02:33, 26 January 2023 (EST)

Hi, I'm not STM but I changed your username. Reggimato (talk) 03:49, 26 January 2023 (EST)

Thank you! And questions about Ethel and the ending cutscene.[edit]

Thank you so much for rearranging Ethel's trivia section, now it definitely is much better. If I have to add my own opinion though, while it is interesting Ethel is a pretty unique hero in game, it is a shame that she has no hero exclusive side quests for her like most other heroes,or appearing in other hero quests. So should the fact that Ethel has no hero exclusive side quests or appearing in any other hero quest as a trivia too?

And now watching the ending again, you are right all heroes (except Triton, so I guess that's a trivia for him lol) appear at the ending cutscene, so aside Ethel whether she rejoins or not, is it the similar case with other heroes? Where they still appear at the end regardless if you recruit them or not? If that's true then yeah then no point adding that point. --Monado mario (talk) 23:09, 9 March 2023 (EST)

This part of the ending cutscene is a pre-rendered video, so it can't change based on any conditions. STM (t) 07:47, 10 March 2023 (EST)
Even as a pre-rendered video, they could have had Ethel not showing up in the ending cutscene or change her form depending on whether she's back or not (like in Xenoblade Chronicles 2, some cutscenes slightly changes depending on you choose Pyra or Mythra for Pneuma) . But I do think that all heros except Triton (due to him being a moebius) appears at the ending cutscenes regardless if you recruit them or not. Therefore this won't be a trivia for now.--Monado mario (talk) 14:16, 10 March 2023 (EST)

Thoughts about your Xenoblade background[edit]

Sorry if this topic isn't about the wiki edits, but I want to express my two cents on your opinions about each Xenoblade games if you don't mind:

  • About XC2 and Torna, I personally think it's a neat touch by adding an important connection to the first Xenoblade game at the end. However I do think this causes that this is obviously a fanservice for the very few XC1 players before XC2. Regardless I wouldn't say the game is hard to recommend, but overall it is somewhat the least playable mainline Xenoblade game that isn't a port. I am curious about your thoughts on how many criticize female Blde designs though, which awkwardly it is still something that many weirdos on the internet complains to this day. Torna is probably one of the best Xeno games in my opinion, yeah it's short but gameplay is fun, and ending was just awesome.
  • About XCDE, I wouldn't say Future Connected is lame, the HtH scenes were great and gives us more info about Nene and Kino, I just think the ending was somewhat underwhelming. Furthermore, I think the only problem wtih XCDE is that they didn't add UM tomb stone for easy rematch when XC2 introduces that already.
  • About XC3, I totally get what you mean, having a jrpg where it's almost a must to play previous mainlines jrpgs is not a good idea, especially sales wise. Which explains why XC3 somewhat underperforms compare to XC2. I actually think it's because XC3 has more tame character designs than XC2 was what made some XC2 fans being not interested into the game. FR ending was awesome too, as for the "problems" though I wish you can elaborate it more. And while all Heroes are amazing, the biggest grip in my opinion is how Ethel and Cammurarvi got totally snubbed in later part of the game despite they were the first two Hero characters to be revealed and made us thought as if they're gonna be important Heroes in the main story during the trailers. Yet not only they got killed off in chapter 4, neither of them have proper ascension quests nor any noticeable side quest appearances. Also Ethel appearing at the fully matured regardless is weird and even a minor retcon depending on if you got her back or not, even if it's a pre rendered cutscene (Even XC2, one cutscene alters depending on how you call Pneuma).

So overall these are my thoughts, and thank you so much for keep this site clean and awesome. --Monado mario (talk) 23:30, 10 November 2023 (EST)

Editorializing?[edit]

Hi, I'm the anon who added stuff to Chapter 4 of the XC2 script. I saw you changed a few of my edits and wanted to apologize if I was editorializing too much in certain places. I think it's a very worthy cause to have an accessible archive of the game script and would like to help further that goal, so if you have any style suggestions please do let me know. It would be counterintuitive and also rude to make more work with people having to go back and fix my writing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.111.224.51 (talk, contribs) 23:15, 6 December 2023 (EST)

No, I don't think any of it was "editorialized". I did notice some transcription errors though, so do try to be a bit more careful with those. As for the rest, don't worry about it. I don't see it as creating more work for us. STM (t) 00:01, 7 December 2023 (EST)
