Hey guys
Everyone may or not have noticed that over the past few days the Wiki has been getting some of its wanted pages filled in and that the appearance of the place has been getting jazzed up a bit.
But we still have over 350 Wanted Pages - people want to know about Agents, Canons, Continuua, Terminology ... and the regular Wiki editors, stalwart though that crew are, can't fill them all in; some things we just don't know or aren't experts in.
So, here's the plea; if every Boarder goes to the Wiki Wanted Pages list; http://ppc.wikia.com/wiki/Special:WantedPages and makes ONE page a day for a week, we could knock this on the head for a while. Even if you can only make a short article, that'd be a huge help :)
Come on dudes, show off your nerdiness!
First up, sorry about that. I should've asked about it first. I just… find it a little odd, with that number.
I had a couple of questions. Um. What would be the most appropriate way to deal with the longer series of video games? Legend of Zelda can probably get away with one article, but I'm a little less certain about the Final Fantasy series (for one thing, aside from the numbered, there's the Compilation, the various Tactics games, and I don't know much about XI aside from it being a MMORPG). And then there's the Tyler-who's-not-in-MTFFAT-or-Reynolds. I was thinking, would his (current) species designation be all right?
Okay, so, this has been bothering me for a bit now, and since I just filled out the Transformers entry on the wiki, I'm going to maybe-not-so-randomly ask this question here...
Would minis in the Transformers-verse(s) be, well, mini-Transformers? I've been thinking that they could just be, like, the toys, or something. Only alive. Cuz that way they can still transform, which is kinda the point. And I don't think there's any nasty animals indigenous to the Transformers-verse(s) that could be used. Not to mention that they're ROBOTS, and I think they should stay that way...
The only problem with having mini-Transformers would be that, well, not all characters are giant robots, and I'm not sure what misspelled human characters would be. I'm thinking mini-hardhats, since it seems to be something of a recurring theme. http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/Hard_hat
So, would it be too much to have two mini species for one continuum? Or slew of continuums? I've collected a number of the little buggers, and I'd kinda like to know what I'm dealing with here...
~Anjilly, who has a penchant for 80s cartoons, and who is also feeling slightly frazzled at the moment and thus apologizes for any flightiness inherent in this post. Like the way she just signed it. XD
1) Not many characters in Lord of the Rings are giant flaming demons, either. Doesn't stop them. :P Minis aren't supposed to be particularly similar in type to their canon character, I don't think.
2) You say there's no nasty animals, and okay, maybe not. But minis in general are minor canonical monsters, not a generic class which makes up most of the cast. I don't know Transformers, but is there a small group somewhere which you can make the model for the minis? Or a minor series with a distinct visual type? I don't know, obviously, but.
hS
...So I'm not very familiar with anything beyond the most popular of the many, many, MANY Transformers-related continua. And I'm still getting acquainted with the ones that I AM familiar with. So while I could probably pull something out of the Japanese comics or one of their minor spinoffs, I haven't really gotten that far into the fandom yet...
At the same time, I just realized that the TF wiki does indeed have a (short) list of animal species. *headdesk* I'm gonna go investigate it and see if there's anything nasty and dangerous enough to be a mini... Oh, who am I kidding, of course there will be. It's an adventure series aimed at ten-year-old boys, for goodness' sake. XD
*plunges*
*points to the Final Fantasy mini listing* I'm not sure how that works, though. Looks like it might be 'summons' and 'everything else', though.
Which doesn't help, when my Agents' first mission was for FFVII. I decided to stick with a Mini-Moogle, especially since the mini in question was of Sephiroth.
They appear in most of the Final Fantasy games, after all. Though… they're not monsters, exactly, are they?
…do you remember if there're moogles in Tactics?
much. Especially when it comes to other peoples' agents and creations. Will do my best.
Anything you can do is appreciated :)
...for which I can provide at least a brief blurb. I'll import some Wookieepedia information for some of the Star Wars terms, if that's all right.
but if there's lots of Important Detail, just give us a brief and entertaining synopsis and then link to Wookieepedia instead of ganking scads of their text :)
I'm just giving the precis versions. I decided to just use Wookieepedia to remind myself of stuff.
Five new pages up for ya, though.
*clears throat* Um. Yeah. At least it doesn't have a nine in it anywhere or I would be tempted to make very bad jokes.
I'll do what I can. =) Not promising this'll be much, y'know, but I'll give it a shot. Could be entertaining.
