Talk:Crystals

Merge to Culex
Note: This discussion was moved here from the former "Earth Crystal" talk page. This enemy is merely an extension of Culex rather than an individual enemy. Merging results in a more comprehensive article, as well as cutting down on division of information. Redstar 21:20, 15 December 2009 (EST)

 * 1) It will merge 4 stubs into a nice article.
 * 17:01, 17 December 2009 (EST) - You mean four?
 * 1) -- Great idea. I may have disagreed with the Culex bit, but one "Elemental Crystals" article would be fantastic.
 * 2) Merging would be a great idea User:Yoshionfire
 * 3) - Combining information into one easy to access place is a good idea.
 * 4) - Per all.
 * 5) - Looks like this is the preferred direction to take. Per proposal.
 * 6) I am Zero! It will be a good idea to merge them, the Culex article looks unfinished without the crystal elements, the article even reference to the crystal so why is it not there. Zero signing out.
 * 7) - Better organized, more comprehensive. Sounds good.

Leave un-merged

Comments
No, they have different stats and psychopath thoughts. It would be best if all the crystals were merged together, but not with Culex.
 * You know, I like that idea. The Psychopath thoughts don't matter, though. Redstar 22:01, 15 December 2009 (EST)
 * Now that there's more than 5 votes, we can officially merge these on to an "Elemental Crystal" article. We need a sysop to delete these old pages once the merge is complete.
 * Five votes is all it takes? If I can get confirmation on that, I'll get to work on setting up the article. Redstar 19:47, 18 December 2009 (EST)

You can just redirect them, actually.-- 20:42, 18 December 2009 (EST)
 * Exactly my intention, but should we wait a week or so, or are discussion-page proposals different? Redstar 20:49, 18 December 2009 (EST)
 * I don't think there are any rules for discussion-page proposals. We just used common sense when we had such proposals. I guess with 9 support votes and no opposes it's safe to assume that the majority of the users agrees to merge the articles. 05:47, 19 December 2009 (EST)
 * Time's opinion is as good as any. All four of the crystal pages will now be redirected, and the group article created. Redstar 05:59, 19 December 2009 (EST)
 * Meh, I wrote that before I noticed Bloc Partier made a proposal about it... 06:05, 19 December 2009 (EST)
 * Yeah, well this proposal was made even before that. Wouldn't be good to stall progress on one thing for something else that may not come about. We'll be sure to implement whatever rules when the standard is put into place. Redstar 06:09, 19 December 2009 (EST)

Article created
Per consensus on merging the Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind Crystal articles, this group article has been created. Feel free to make any expansion or changes you feel necessary to improve it any further. The proposal and discussion relating to it can still be found here. Redstar 06:11, 19 December 2009 (EST)

Why did you undo my edit? It did make a difference. I made the nicely placed left-to-right and now they're all over the place and pushing other templates around. Something must be done about those templates! They look terrible with the trivia and names in other languages section put in between them.
 * I don't really know what you're talking about. The way I had aligned them and the way I reverted them isn't affecting any other templates as far as I can see. Your alignment looked really awkward and created issue with the above and below sections, which would probably require break alls to fix. The only beneficial addition I could see were the added periods to the two trivia points, though I'm not entirely sure if we are or aren't supposed to add periods on those. I've seen different articles go either way. Redstar 08:26, 19 December 2009 (EST)

By other templates, I mean the four Mario RPG enemy templates. The wind crystal template is pushing the tables for the names in other languages section to the center and the trivia is squeezed to the right side of the article, when it should be at the bottom.
 * Exactly. I don't know what you're talking about. It looks normal to me, and I can only see what you're describing when aligned in your way. Can anyone confirm this happening on their end as well? Redstar 08:33, 19 December 2009 (EST)
 * Could it be because of different browsers? Internet Explorer and Firefox are a bit different... If that is true, I hate Firefox.
 * Could affect it. I use Firefox... I'll open up the page in IE and see if I get what you're seeing. Redstar 08:38, 19 December 2009 (EST)


 * Just checked. Both my alignment and your alignment view the same in IE as they do in Firefox, for me at least. Redstar 08:41, 19 December 2009 (EST)

Names in Other Languages Section
As it is now, I made each of the foreign languages boxes into a sub-section. I don't feel this is necessary, since it shows up on the Contents box, but considering there are four subjects on one article and each with a different foreign name, I felt some header for each was necessary. I would appreciate it if someone could create headers for each without it showing up on the Content box, but I'm unaware how to make text large enough to emulate the look. I also thought it would look better to push the Water and Wind Crystal foreign languages up, so that Water is beside Earth and Wind beside Fire. Again, I don't know how to do this, so I would appreciate help on that. Redstar 06:15, 19 December 2009 (EST)
