I realise you want this to be right, but i've been very careful in what i've done. How can I let you preview it before it goes up? If I knew how, thats what I would have done.--[[User:Amyarlp|Amyarlp]] 14:30, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
 
 
:Click the "Show preview" button instead of "Save page" -- you completely messed up the table, so you were NOT "very careful" as stated.  Go look at [http://mhwiki.hitgrab.com/wiki/index.php?title=Cheat_Sheet&curid=6972&oldid=76126 your old edit] if you need to know why I'm less than happy about your edit.

I've been working on a pretty large walkthrough of the game, which you can get here http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=ahwm9rm5zg9j_39fnmksqf2&hl=en. I spoke with some other people, and they said that you had a certain policy regarding guides on the wiki, but they weren't sure what it was.

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)

==Cheat Sheet==

Regarding the [[Cheat Sheet#Mice|Mice]] table under [[Cheat Sheet]], wanted to check with you if [http://mhwiki.hitgrab.com/wiki/index.php?title=Cheat_Sheet&diff=next&oldid=89079 this edit] converting the columns back into one row was intended? Was just working on splitting it up when I suddenly recalled having done it before and went to check the history and noticed your edit on it. Curious about the rationale behind it, since the original idea was to make it easier to adjust for changes to mice locations. -- [[User:Grexx|Grexx]] 19:22, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
  
Hi! I'm not sure if you are aware, but all the mice images that are in your gallery on Photobucket display the warning that the bandwidth is exceeded. I'm replacing the links now, but I don't have some; like the Christmas 2008 version of [[Abominable Snow]]... I don't know if you can do something about the issue with your storage; this has been an issue for a while. -- [[User:Camomiletea|Camomiletea]] 19:45, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

:I certainly found [[Talk:Cheat_Sheet#New_Mice_Table_Layout|Grexx's layout]] useful; less counting, less opportunity for mistakes. -- [[User:Camomiletea|Camomiletea]] 20:09, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
  
:Wasn't aware of that. Haven't looked at my PB account in ages. Amazing that the pics are so popular that they suck all my allotted bandwidth! I'll look into other hosting options this weekend.

::I'm of the opposite opinion and found the seemingly randomly broken-up rows to be confusing and extremely hard to edit. One row just makes good sense to me, but whatever. If having it split up makes it somehow easier for the majority to deal with, so be it.  A note describing exactly '''how''' it's split up would be greatly appreciated, however, as I could see no rhyme or reason to it and struggled greatly to make even simple changes. Counting across makes sense to me and should be easier for future editors, but again, whatever, :-) --<span style="border:2px ridge #aaf;background-color:#fff;padding:1px 8px;font:normal 10px Verdana,sans-serif;margin-left:-8px;">[[User:Brossow|<span style="color:#358;">B.Rossow</span>]] · [[User_talk:Brossow|<span style="color:#35d;">talk</span>]]</span> 20:18, 26 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. I'll move the instructions to the top of the page and include in a quick note within the article itself so it's easier to follow :) -- [[User:Grexx|Grexx]] 05:37, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
  
And why not? Instead of being Billy Mays, explain, in a civilised manner, what the manner is. Is it that hard to do? EDIT: If you were so annoyed by it, at least insert a comment in the talk page or in the article itself. [[User:Victor.Song|Victor.Song]] 22:53, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

:It's been stated "why" a million times.

...a god here? Referring to [http://mhwiki.hitgrab.com/wiki/index.php?title=Ronza%27s_Satchel&curid=7996&diff=88522&oldid=88521 this] of course. If you your are a god or the God here, then you could say so. You could say that it will be as you want it to be no matter what other people say. I don't like to waste my time so maybe you could point out why did you revert my edit. Saying "nuh-uh" after certainly non obvious revert is rude and against wiki/net-etiquette. --[[User:Nux|Nux]] 21:05, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

You reverted my move to the new prize mice category for the itunes mice, with reason it isnt an event mice and always available.
 +
So are all the mice in this category (leprechaun, treasurer, snooty, high roller, mobster). They are all always available (not just events) but still have the tag "event". What is the point of having two identical categories but named different? {{unsigned|Melky}}
  
:If I need to explain why you can't just keep trying to sneak in this change, I'm not sure I can explain it to you. I'm not a god here or anywhere else, but I do have nearly 3000 edits on this wiki, as do others who disagree with you (with only two edits in total to the main namespace here, both of which were immediately reverted) and other newbies about this inappropriate change. The reason for the revert is obvious to anyone who's been paying attention, and most certainly to you, so please don't act ignorant and surprised. --<span style="border:2px ridge #aaf;background-color:#fff;padding:1px 8px;font:normal 10px Verdana,sans-serif;margin-left:-8px;">[[User:Brossow|<span style="color:#358;">B.Rossow</span>]] · [[User_talk:Brossow|<span style="color:#35d;">talk</span>]]</span> 21:10, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

:Because during the short time it was available years ago, it wasn't a special event mouse. The wiki is about providing accurate information, not making stuff up and revising history to just to reduce the number of categories.
  
::So? You have 3000, I have much more on pl.wiki, so? I thought discussion is about arguments not about position in Hal of Fame.

::And what "others" do you mean that disagree with me? Last time I read the talk page everyone except you and one more person said that the order should be almost any other then alphabetical.
 
::And pleas stop insulting my and your intelligence for that matter. Yeah I sneaked in RBG order without stating that I'm ordering in RBG... Now what I could say is that you are sneaking in some insults because you are not answering on my talk page but on yours. And if I would now better I wouldn't even notice this. --[[User:Nux|Nux]] 22:22, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
 
  
:::No matter how many edits you have elsewhere (your edits number just over 2000 in the main namespace on pl.wiki, FWIW; if you want to have a pissing contest, I have about 7500 in the main namespace on en.wiki and more than 11,000 in total -- it's not about some bogus "hall of fame" but simple experience), apparently you still don't understand that when you post a comment on someone's Talk (Discussion) page, that's where the ensuing conversation takes place. (That's where "Watch this page" comes in handy.) I'm not gonna have a back-and-forth with you or anyone else across multiple pages. The bottom line is that you want to come in here and make changes without bothering to familiarize yourself with how things are done on this wiki. And I can assure you, though this is not Wikipedia, a simple show of hands isn't going to be how things are decided here, ESPECIALLY by a newbie with ZERO live main namespace edits. Every '''established''' editor who commented on that page agrees that alphabetical order is the way it will be, and it was not just Grexx and myself. I'll leave it to you to find the others as I believe it will do you some good to re-read the conversations and try to take in what has been said. Now, I've said all there is to be said from my perspective on this issue. I'm not interested in arguing as I have much better things to do with my time, like catching virtual mice or staring at my navel, both of which are more interesting than arguing with a disingenuous newbie over elementary reference paradigms. --<span style="border:2px ridge #aaf;background-color:#fff;padding:1px 8px;font:normal 10px Verdana,sans-serif;margin-left:-8px;">[[User:Brossow|<span style="color:#358;">B.Rossow</span>]] · [[User_talk:Brossow|<span style="color:#35d;">talk</span>]]</span> 22:43, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

MythMonger Wiki

Hey!

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.

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!

Please message me on Facebook! =)
