== Layout ==

== New Mice Table Layout ==
−
This is a good summary! Tossing out some additional ideas that could be workable for the Mice table:
+
The table is now internally organized such that each mouse is divided into 8 parts:
−
*Locations listed according to order they were introduced rather than alphabetical, ie Town of Gnawnia, Meadow, Harbour, Mountain
+
* Mouse Description
−
*Rather than an X marks the spot, shading the boxes would stand out more and be easier to view.
+
* Gnawnia region
−
*Removing region names altogether since most players should be familiar by now
+
* Whisker Woods region
−
*Removing region names allows sorting, although I'm not sure how the long rows will fare. If shading, can consider splitting long rows back into individual cells.
+
* Burroughs region
−
*Shortening some of the names like Ronza's Travelling Shoppe -> Ronza's
+
* Furoma region
−
*Using acronyms/nicknames for locations/mice to reduce width, ie Ab. Snow, Master - Dojo, Rav. Zombie etc.
+
* Bristle Woods region

+
* Rodentia region
 +
* Tribal Isles region
 +
* Other regions
 +
Additionally, the color codes for the Prize and Event mice have been flipped to cut down on the code. Cells are now by default shaded blue. Visually there is no change in the table at all. -- [[User:Grexx|Grexx]] 16:41, 5 March 2009 (UTC) (updated 14:57, 30 December 2009 (UTC))

:* I had considered shading the "X" boxes and held off, wanting instead to get the page at least useable if not perfect and available for public use. My biggest concern about the shading for individual boxes is the amount of code it will add to the page, which is why I didn't do it right away. Just threw something up and it adds about 4K to the page, which isn't as big a deal as I thought it might be. The overhead doesn't concern me as much as how very easy it would be for an inexperienced editor to mess it up. With the Mice table in particular, that's a BIG table and it was a bear just to get the Xs in the right spaces. I can only imagine the horror of a new editor looking at the code and trying to make sense of it now that shading has been added. LOL! At any rate, it's in place now, but feel free to revert or change it.
+
With the addition of more mice, the mice list is now long enough to warrant additional location segments such that no mouse is without the location header either above or below. Please keep reorganization along alphabetical lines. Have posted this up on [[MHWiki:Articles_needing_attention]]. -- [[User:Grexx|Grexx]] 16:55, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
  
−
:* In case you were suggesting shading '''instead of''' Xs ... I think we need to keep the Xs because many people's web browsers don't print background colors if someone (like me, for example) wanted to print the page; they'd simply end up with a blank table.
+
:Does it look good now, or do you think more is necessary? -- [[User:Camomiletea|Camomiletea]] 02:25, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

:* I initially had the table without the regions, but I really think we need to keep them. Without them, all the locations run together even worse than they do now. As far as sorting goes, I believe each location has a list of mice, traps, etc. already on the page so if people want to see everything in the Town of Digby, for example, they can just go to that page. My vision for this page was not "what is in each location?" (which is already covered elsewhere) but rather "where can I find X item/mouse/etc.?". The alphabetical lists (IMHO) present the most logical order possible for finding "stuff" — mice, traps, etc. It's for this reason (and because of the extra space that the sorting symbol takes up in the headers) that I decided against making the tables sortable. Maybe I'm wrong, but I see it as a slippery slope — if we make the tables sortable, then maybe it wouldn't hurt to add in some pricing info, etc. I really see this as a no-frills, bare-bones page. Since I've made it a public wiki page and taken it out of my Sandbox, however, I realize that my vision may be lost. Such is life on a wiki....
+
== Prize Mice Locations ==
  
−
:* For all of the long location names like Ronza's, I intentionally did not use the "nowrap" code so that the tables would adjust to varying screen widths. (Believe me, after the [[Traps]] debacle, I'm more acutely aware of that than ever, and I've been doing and teaching web design for 15+ years.) I've resized my browser window to countless sizes and I have ensured that the table will print on a standard sheet of paper without bleeding off the right margin or having to be reduced — no mean feat with all that info! The one place I did do some abbreviating was with the mice names — dropped "Mouse" from all of them and shortened up the Students and Masters names. Didn't want to do it but didn't want the line wrapping, either. So I compromised. Because it will all print in a single page width and fit in a reasonably small browser window without scrolling sideways, I don't see a need to further shorten any names ... but I won't jump off a bridge if you do. ;-)
+
There is no evidence that suggests prize mice are in all locations. Currently there is none that shows they exist in the Meditation Room and Pinnacle Chamber. The notion that these mice are in all locations was said before these areas were created. --[[User:Mase123y|Mase123y]] 11:53, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

:The cheat sheet doesn't contain any new information. It just aggregates basic information available from the wiki into a single page. So this is probably not the best place to discuss this. --[[User:Grexx|Grexx]] 14:20, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

::I saw the shading code. I'd say most editors will stay far away from it ;) Leaving the X in along with the colours looks good too. Its so much easier to see with shading. I'd still prefer to have the locations in introduction order since that's how I personally look at the table and most of the wiki. But just seeing the code adjustment needed. Suffice to say its good enough as is. ;)
+
:I've asked for developer input on this issue as they are ultimately the only ones who can answer. Let's be patient and await a reply.

::Regarding shortening of names on any of the tables on this page, I think its reasonable to assume that players visiting this page are familiar with that aspect of the game to want to look at it in summary. Anyways the links have been included, and they could easily read up on the info if they so wanted. Also, we can reasonably expect 2 to 4 more locations within the next month or so, if the previous region design is followed. Thus we're going to have to squeeze in more columns. Which is why I'd prefer things like Ronza's Travelling Shoppe shortened to Ronza's, or even Ronza, since "Travelling" does take up more space even while it is auto-wrapped in smaller display sizes.

:::I'm not married to the location order at all; I don't envy the editor who decides to change it but won't object if someone does. As for the shortened names ... maybe just deal with it if/when it proves to be an issue? At present it's fine on the 15" CRT (grrrr!!) I'm stuck with here at work — no horizontal scrolling and prints nicely. But I'm not going to throw a fit if it gets changed as long as the locations are still easily identifiable. --&nbsp;[[User:Brossow|B.Rossow]]&nbsp;<sup style='margin-right:-11px'>[[User_talk:Brossow|talk]]</sup><sub>[[Special:Contributions/Brossow|contr]]</sub> 15:26, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

::::I just shortened some of the longer mouse names and reduced my screen resolution to 1024x768. With the shortened names alone, the table ''just'' fits on the screen without horizontal scrolling (though it really did come down to a few pixels). ([http://i722.photobucket.com/albums/ww228/brossow/MouseHunt%20Images/2-10-20099-31-38AM.png Screenshot here].) If/when more areas are added, we may have to get very creative with how we list the location names, perhaps using a vertical format like this:

::::With the current table structure, I don't see any way around cramming for space when more areas are added. If I had access to the raw server logs for the wiki, I could probably tell you what the minimum screen resolution used to view the page is and we could design accordingly, but that's not only never going to happen but would be extreme overkill even if it were possible. As much as I resist the idea on "normal" pages, it could be that this is one page where we simply acknowledge that vertical scrolling is going to happen. The only reasonable alternative I see is rotating the table 90° with mice at the top and locations in rows instead. Doing that, we could make multiple tables, each with (for example) 15 mice. In the extreme, we could just shrink font size even more, but that's not a good solution. But hey, on the bright side the page is only 12 hours old and already has more than 3,300 hits. Must be doing something right. :-) --&nbsp;[[User:Brossow|B.Rossow]]&nbsp;<sup style='margin-right:-11px'>[[User_talk:Brossow|talk]]</sup><sub>[[Special:Contributions/Brossow|contr]]</sub> 15:47, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

:::::I've seen some of the creative solutions that are used in wikipedia [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Tables#Vertically-oriented_text here]. Unfortunately we don't have the image upload capability open on the wiki. I think we'll probably have to resort to shortening names even more. Afterall, there are some more locations we can squeeze width out of like Ronza's, Med. Rm., TG, Lab, Moz etc :p

The Yield column is enough to say the number of pieces crafted, but some of the information is repeated in the Product column. Shouldn't those be revised? Link [[Cheat Sheet#Cheese (crafted)|here]]. --[[User:Mikeyco|Mikeyco]] 09:44, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

== Havarti cheese section ==
  
−
{| align="center" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="0" border="1" style="font-size:90%; line-height:0.8;"
+
IMO, it should be combined with the rest of the "Cheese (crafted)" section rather than put separately. Someone suggested to put the summary of Havarti only on [[Havarti]] disambiguation page, and I liked that idea. But here in the cheat sheet it doesn't make sense to break it off and leave the rest of the cheese types all together. Why do we not break off the special Furoma cheese? It should be all one table. At least here. -- [[User:Camomiletea|Camomiletea]] 02:52, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

:I would like the tables to be combined as well, but with the table being laid out with all the ingedients along the top, the width of the table might be too big. We would have to add Coconut milk, Shell, Stones, Vegies and 7 types of peppers for the 3 island cheeses and the 7 pepper cheeses. this would take the ingredient count from 20 to 31 -- [[User:Precisa|Precisa]] 03:45, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

== Jungle of Dread and Prize/Event mice ==

::::::::That looks better than the current table actually! Possibly a bit hard to read for some. Editing wise, since its a one-time edit it should be fine. I think we can seriously consider the vertical layout when the time comes along and we still don't have access to image uploads.
+
It seems to me that Jungle of Dread is similar to Meditation Room where there are only the sort of "boss" mice, and no Black Widows and other event/prize mice. Would you agree? I'd like to remove the shading from that area in the Mice table for the prize/event mice. Dracano by extension might be like Pinnacle Chamber, but we don't know yet. -- [[User:Camomiletea|Camomiletea]] 19:37, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

:::::::::Leave it to Microsoft. *groan* Just fixed it with my first guess! Added "border-collapse:collapse;" to the style tag for each table.

== Trap Effectiveness ==
  
 +
At a guess, I can sort of see the following equivalents for the effectiveness of power types against the Mouse Groups. This will need to be verified. And of course the "less effective"/"more effective" system is gone, to be replaced by something different... For right now, I'd say we need to remove this section from the Cheat Sheet.

::I knew I should have done this right way.

The reputation of the Wiki is such that we cannot put any guesses - and we never have before. It has always been backed up. (People also assume this is the truth because "devs edit the Wiki" - a common misconception.) So again, this is the table as it was before I removed it from the Cheat Sheet. In order for it to be put back, we first need hard data.

==Breaking up the page==
+
<br />There are exceptions to this table; see [[Effectiveness]] page for more information.
−
Just wondering if we should break it up into sub-pages like [[Cheat Sheet/Mice]], [[Cheat Sheet/Cheese]], [[Cheat Sheet/Traps]], [[Cheat Sheet/Crafting Supplies]]. Mainly to make it more readable and reduce the amount of information presented since players will usually be looking at a certain portion of the page. Would make it better for linking from the various related pages too. Thoughts?
 
  
−
Regarding the '/' separator, not very sure if that's recommended for non-user wiki pages. If not could probably use something like a '-' instead, like [[Cheat Sheet - Mice]]. -- [[User:Grexx|Grexx]] 15:33, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

:As the creator of the page, I'm very much against this idea.  '''VERY''' much. The entire purpose (as I envisioned it originally and still do) was to provide ALL of the info in one place. If we split it out, we might as well get rid of it entirely, since it's just a condensed version of info found elsewhere — people can just go to those individual pages instead. I can't adequately express how much I'm against this. --&nbsp;[[User:Brossow|B.Rossow]]&nbsp;<sup style='margin-right:-11px'>[[User_talk:Brossow|talk]]</sup><sub>[[Special:Contributions/Brossow|contr]]</sub> 15:46, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Please ignore or correct me if I'm completely mistaken but since this page is for quick reference wouldn't it make sense to put in the prices instead of the "X" for Curds'n'Whey as well as Salt because those are sold in every store with different prices? ____[[User:M.|_m.]] 22:22, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

:That's detailed info that can be found elsewhere. This page is simply "where is it" -- one more click will get them to prices. The goal is to provide basic info only and keep the tables as minimal as possible without duplicating exactly a table found elsewhere, which is what you're suggesting. --&nbsp;[[User:Brossow|B.Rossow]]&nbsp;<sup style='margin-right:-11px'>[[User_talk:Brossow|talk]]</sup><sub>[[Special:Contributions/Brossow|contr]]</sub> 22:26, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Latest revision as of 16:33, 5 February 2011

New Mice Table Layout

The table is now internally organized such that each mouse is divided into 8 parts:

  • Mouse Description
  • Gnawnia region
  • Whisker Woods region
  • Burroughs region
  • Furoma region
  • Bristle Woods region
  • Rodentia region
  • Tribal Isles region
  • Other regions

Additionally, the color codes for the Prize and Event mice have been flipped to cut down on the code. Cells are now by default shaded blue. Visually there is no change in the table at all. -- Grexx 16:41, 5 March 2009 (UTC) (updated 14:57, 30 December 2009 (UTC))

Added the new regions above. -- Camomiletea 20:37, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

With the addition of more mice, the mice list is now long enough to warrant additional location segments such that no mouse is without the location header either above or below. Please keep reorganization along alphabetical lines. Have posted this up on MHWiki:Articles_needing_attention. -- Grexx 16:55, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Does it look good now, or do you think more is necessary? -- Camomiletea 02:25, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Prize Mice Locations

There is no evidence that suggests prize mice are in all locations. Currently there is none that shows they exist in the Meditation Room and Pinnacle Chamber. The notion that these mice are in all locations was said before these areas were created. --Mase123y 11:53, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

The cheat sheet doesn't contain any new information. It just aggregates basic information available from the wiki into a single page. So this is probably not the best place to discuss this. --Grexx 14:20, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
I've asked for developer input on this issue as they are ultimately the only ones who can answer. Let's be patient and await a reply. In the meantime, I doubt many people will be hanging out in the MR or PC waiting for a prize mouse based on the info here. -- B.Rossow talkcontr 15:38, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
Generally prize mice are released on all "standard" hunting locations, which exclude places where there are extremely specific mice such as the meditation room and pinnacle chamber. --Dave Vanderburg 01:33, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
Thanks, Dave! Does the same hold true for "special event" mice like the Cupid, Elf, etc.? -- B.Rossow talkcontr 01:36, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
Yes, and as future "specialized boss-mice" areas are added the same will hold true for them --Dave Vanderburg 02:27, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
On the Elf and Hollowhead. They were before the Catacombs. Wont it be misleading to say that they could be found there? I think we should remove the respective markers and/or add a note. Thoughts? Shinnok 08:29, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
No more misleading than to say they can be found anywhere, since they're not currently in-game. Let's not worry about it until Halloween at the earliest. :-) -- B.Rossow talkcontr 13:37, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Cheese (crafted) Redundancy

The Yield column is enough to say the number of pieces crafted, but some of the information is repeated in the Product column. Shouldn't those be revised? Link here. --Mikeyco 09:44, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Havarti cheese section

IMO, it should be combined with the rest of the "Cheese (crafted)" section rather than put separately. Someone suggested to put the summary of Havarti only on Havarti disambiguation page, and I liked that idea. But here in the cheat sheet it doesn't make sense to break it off and leave the rest of the cheese types all together. Why do we not break off the special Furoma cheese? It should be all one table. At least here. -- Camomiletea 02:52, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

I would like the tables to be combined as well, but with the table being laid out with all the ingedients along the top, the width of the table might be too big. We would have to add Coconut milk, Shell, Stones, Vegies and 7 types of peppers for the 3 island cheeses and the 7 pepper cheeses. this would take the ingredient count from 20 to 31 -- Precisa 03:45, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Jungle of Dread and Prize/Event mice

It seems to me that Jungle of Dread is similar to Meditation Room where there are only the sort of "boss" mice, and no Black Widows and other event/prize mice. Would you agree? I'd like to remove the shading from that area in the Mice table for the prize/event mice. Dracano by extension might be like Pinnacle Chamber, but we don't know yet. -- Camomiletea 19:37, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Trap Effectiveness

At a guess, I can sort of see the following equivalents for the effectiveness of power types against the Mouse Groups. This will need to be verified. And of course the "less effective"/"more effective" system is gone, to be replaced by something different... For right now, I'd say we need to remove this section from the Cheat Sheet.


Mouse Group Trap Power Type

Indigenous Mice ▬ ▬ ▬ ▬ ▬ ? ▬ ▬

For now, it serves as a rough guide. However, it is in need of a major overhaul and more research. Draobyek 09:51, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
I knew I should have done this right way. Because of course someone took this new table as the Absolute Truth and presented it as the evidence on the forums in some dispute over how to catch a Slith. The reputation of the Wiki is such that we cannot put any guesses - and we never have before. It has always been backed up. (People also assume this is the truth because "devs edit the Wiki" - a common misconception.) So again, this is the table as it was before I removed it from the Cheat Sheet. In order for it to be put back, we first need hard data.
Mouse Group Trap Power Type

There are exceptions to this table; see Effectiveness page for more information.
