 * I'm ok with leaving the Quest Information the way it is or spliting it by city. Having it all on one page make it easier to navigate for some people.

I think we should the Card Database by type. If we list the stats for every card up to level 16 or so, the card database will be quite long. 2 days ago by Motorslave
 * Maybe we should create a page for each card? Or create one page for a type and rarity and have different sections dedicated to each card. Then we could put the stats at different levels on that page?

For example on the page Rare_Mombies, each heading would contain the name of a rare mombie. Then under the heading it would have the stats for each level, maybe the quote on the card, and anything else pertinent to the card.

Personally, while it would be a tedious task, I think making a page for each card would be my favorite option rather than grouping them, but what do you guys think? 2 days ago by RedReaper83
 * I like the idea of each card having a page of its own. We can use templates to standardise the format, for e.g. image size. It would take a long time to complete though but i like it =)

On a side note I think the forum might be hard for some users to navigate due to wikia's different format, I think it would be a better idea to allow users to post trades and friend code under here & here as comments. What do you guys think? 2 days ago by DinoKev
 * I agree that it would be nice to have a page for each card. Is there a way to link data from one page? This would simplify updates and prevent conflicting information on two different pages. For example: Rare_Mombies would check the master card database page and pull all the rare Mombie cards without having to update both pages?

I agree with DinoKev that it would probably be easier for people to find friend requests and trade requests on a page instead in the forum section of the wikia. Though should these perhaps be left on the GREE forum since our goal is to gather and present information about the game to users. 2 days ago by Motorslave 2 days ago by DinoKev
 * I was thinking we make "Rare Mombies" & "Rare Cards" into individual category page. If I have not mistaken there is a code that will generate a clickable picture gallery based on the pages listed under the category. We keep the tables but move all the other level stats to the individual card page as this is the only variable for the table, the rest of the L1 stats are fixed. Therefore if a new card came out, we will need to input the data into its respective table for once and keep updating the particular card page with the additional stats and information. As long as we add that card page into the category, it will show up in the category page. But I don't think the stats will show up in the category page though.
 * I like the friend/trade request idea! I just didn't want it on this page. If we let one person do it, more would do it and eventually this page would be filled with friend/trade requests instead of info about the site/game. If it has its own page, that would be better.

As for the clickable links, we don't necessarily need a clickable gallery. We could just make the "name" of each card in the table link to its own card's page. That way if someone wanted more info about a card they find in the table, they can just click on the name of the card. Look at this example: click here Then click on the Dia De Los Muertos link. We can play with the format of the card page.... I just wanted to throw up a quick example.

 * No opinions on what I proposed? If you guys have any other ideas, please share. I'd like to see them so we can decide what to go with. I'd be more than happy to start up the individual pages, but I don't want to start them until we agree that its the right/wrong way.
 * I'm okey with it. We just need to have a consistant format for the individual card page. It's better to create templates for the pages so that if in future we need to add something in general to all the pages, for e.g. an addtional bullet point or navbox, we don't have to copy and paste stuff into each of the pages.
 * Bleh... templates. :P Just kidding. You're right, we should use templates. I just haven't figured those things out yet completely. I'll take a look at it sometime this weekend if I get some time. And then we can get started on individual pages. BTW, the site is looking fantastic DinoKev.
 * What do you guys think of this template?

Template:Cards

You fill in the blanks after adding the template and it fills in the page for you pretty much (except for the stats at different levels). If you have any suggestions on how to make it better, please let me know. I know its not perfect and it could use some work. Also, if anyone can make a default picture until we can get pictures up, that would be fabulous.

You can see it in use here:

Dia_De_Los_Muertos 19 hours ago by RedReaper83 14 hours ago by DinoKev 13 hours ago by RedReaper83 I can't figure out how to include this command into the template, maybe you can figure it out .. basically it's about categories which goes something like this:
 * I like the card template. I think using the "wiki logo" as default is fine or we can use the picture of a green flipped side of the card as seen in the collection section. On a side note I think we need to send our "logo" and wordmark to Gree for approval as it might have violated their terms.
 * Yeah, I wasn't sure about that. Laws are such a pain... :P What wordmark are you talking about? I see the logo, is that what you meant? If we create our own logo without using a screenshot of the app and it looks kind of like their logo, I think we're okay. It's just using a screenshot and modifying it might not be good. Should we revert it to the old version?
 * This is the wordmark I'm talking about. It would not look as awesome without the official zombie jombie logo though but I don't think they should have a problem with that as many other gaming wiki have incoperated a logo with the word "wiki" into their wiki, for e.g. TheSims.10 hours ago by DinoKev

 * i notice that you've change the symbols ♂ ♀ to male and female, i think it's better to keep the symbols as it is written this way in the game. We can actually create pages with symbols in the title like in this example.
 * Sorry, I didn't see your comments. Hmm... I'm not sure how to include those in the template. Maybe you could do it with javascript, but I imaging there has to be an easier way. I'll take a look at it.

The reason I changed the symbols is because all of those symbols showed up as a square in the browser web address. Therefore the male and female children would link to the same page. We could change them back, just make it so the page name is still /Child(male) or /Child(female), but the actual card title on the card database can still use the symbols. 9 hours ago by RedReaper83
 * The categories are done... except you want Tombies, not Tombie? I can change it so that it's Tombies, but right now its set to Tombie since when someone enters the option, they'll probably put Tombie. It will literally take about 2 seconds to change it, so just let me know if you'd like me to do that.

I'm trying to figure out if the template options can have drop down menus. I'm not sure how sensitive the template is, but if someone puts "tombie" instead of "Tombie", the category might come out incorrectly. If you only have 3 options to choose from, there's less room for error. So far I'm not finding anything about drop down menus... so if you see anything, please let me know. 8 hours ago by RedReaper83 8 hours ago by DinoKev
 * let's carry on the thread in the talk page before it gets too long. =)
 * That's brilliant! Sorry it's a typo, its actually when input is Tombie, the category page will be Tombies. Btw I'm look at this page on how to hide blank rowshttp://help.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Parser_functions, still trying to get around it.

Forget the talk page, it's hard to navigate. Regarding the symbols which web browser are you using? I'm using google Chrome and I am able to view the ♂ ♀ in the address instead of blank squares.. the address of the test page is when copied it becomes "http://zombiejombie.wikia.com/wiki/%E2%99%82_%26_%E2%99%80" but google chrome will automatically convert in back to the symbols which shows displayed as "http://zombiejombie.wikia.com/wiki/%E2%99%82_%26_%E2%99%80 http://zombiejombie.wikia.com/wiki/]♂_&_♀"

We will have to delete these comments in a couple of days as it gets in the way for others who wanna see comments related to this page =)
