{{rtoc}}
Thanks for the Mice Template, makes the page look much neater. Just wondering if you could change 'Best Trap Type' to 'Power Type' so 'Physical' can be put for normal mice, and put 'Bait Preference' and 'Habitat' in the template.

i think quotation marks are unnecessary really for the trap pages..  anyway, nice job.

Here is a link to karens giveaway. It isn't a group so not really fitting for the community area. It's an event that takes place only every so often- but it has set records. I see no reason to delete it compleatly from the wiki. sorry about not signing- i am new to editing wiki's and haven't a clue as to what i am doing. http://www.facebook.com/board.php?app_id=10337532241&xid=mousehunt_contests&c_url=http%253A%252F%252Fapps.facebook.com%252Fmousehunt%252Fboards.php&r_url=http%253A%252F%252Fapps.facebook.com%252Fmousehunt%252Fboards.php&sig=0d454919c69b78cf499e533fd0368403#/topic.php?xid=mousehunt_contests&app_id=10337532241&c_url=http%253A%252F%252Fapps.facebook.com%252Fmousehunt%252Fboards.php&r_url=http%253A%252F%252Fapps.facebook.com%252Fmousehunt%252Fboards.php&sig=0d454919c69b78cf499e533fd0368403&topic=10556
 
  
== Images ==
+
== Your comments ==
Thanks for the concern regarding the game's images. Off the record (I in no way officially speak for HitGrab Inc.) I think we're okay with people sharing our images with others along as they follow general rules of fair use. Should someone try to use the images to brand their own product or otherwise monetize our intellectual property, especially matters regarding our MouseHunt trademarks, then problems may arise and those people would be in ill legal standing.
 
  
== Current mood ==

<!-- --------------------DO NOT EDIT ABOVE THIS LINE-------------------- -->
I didn't expect a reply from you. I was like moaning to myself.
 
  
It is devs' wiki and their decision anyway. In your opinion, even with warnings in illegitimate articles, gullible users can still be easily tricked, and people should agree with devs' (or your) definition of wiki.
+
== Wiki Contributions ==
This wiki can be managed in the way the owners want it to be, or in the ways the users want it to be, or hybrid. Between the two extremes, autocracy and Laissez-faire, there are infinite options, and it is not easy to determine whether an option is right or wrong, not to mention the difficulty of implementation and conflicts of interest.

Hey!
  
Why did you remove the Third-party tools link from the main page?  This article is practically abandoned, not even linked to in the related links one --[[User:Navarr|Navarr]] 03:40, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

== About the hr border ==
+
We were planning to setup a wiki for MythMonger on our servers, the same way we setup one for MouseHunt.
No problem. I just thought it looked a bit strange having that border there when you have borders nearly right after that one stretching the full width of the page. The Description header has a border right beneath it that makes it look a little odd and redundant. Would it be possible to have that border stretch the full width of the page rather than 70% or so it is right now? Sorry, it just kind of bothers me, but I'll stop deleting it, xD.

We'd love your help, as you've done such an awesome job for us on MouseHunt. It would be silly for us to start again, so please consider sending us the database dump for this wiki!

I have been reading the wiki ever since I started playing, but finally decided a few days ago to start helping when I saw stuff that I thought needed to be done, so a steep learning curve (two days) later I make my first page by myself with the wonderful help of the templates. This is why I love this game, and specifically this wiki, I (the uber newbie wiki editor) see the new GB House trap info and do my best to get a new page up with all the proper info in real time. Being a newb though, and having to run out the door in the middle of my edits because the freezing weather made our pipes explode, I left my page in disarray. I am very thankful, and I am sure others are as well, that you have shown so much dedication to a consistent style and format. I look forward to you correcting my many mistakes in the future. --[[User:Niehusa|Niehusa]] 03:00, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

:::Ah ok, they were actually split along regional lines as described under the [[Talk:Cheat Sheet#New Mice Table Layout|talk page]]. It actually cuts down on the counting needed whenever a new location or mouse location is added, so rather than counting from the first column you can start at the exact region.

Thanks for beginning the wiki for MythMonger.

We were planning to setup a wiki for MythMonger on our servers, the same way we setup one for MouseHunt.
