== Summary pages ==
 +
 
 +
As a relatively new player, I greatly appreciate the effort you've put into making this wiki useful.  I'd suggest, though, that the wiki should keep all the individual pages for the minor crafting items.  The master list is definitely worth having, but, for instance, there is no longer any information about how to get [[Ethereal Rope]] other than to go to the Jungle of Dread and just hunt.
 +
 
 +
When you removed the main article on Ethereal Rope, you mentioned that it was too short.  On Wikipedia, I'd agree with you, but on a closed-universe wiki like this one, it seems to me that we'd be better off having all the articles so that hunters can find what information is available and so that there's a place to put further info if it turns up.
  
== Your Newbie Help page ==
+
What are your thoughts?  (And if this issue has been discussed elsewhere, please point me to the conversation!)
  
Hi, a quick note regarding the newbie help page.  I really like what you've done with the page - it's clear a lot of thought and effort went into it, and if there's anything I can help with I'd be happy to - though clearly you're almost done.  That said, I have a reservation about your mentioning the BG and Acro as recommended traps for the Mos.  For players starting now, the way to gain rank quickly and explore more of the game is to reach the Dojo relatively soon after gaining GM rank.  In the Dojo, of course, these traps are useless.  The Bottomless Grave is useful for gathering gold in the Mos if one intends to remain there for a length of time (and even more so when the Mos was the highest area), but it itself costs a huge amount of gold for a trap useful in an area which most hunters relatively quickly "outgrow."  Additionally, it cannot compete with the performance of cheaper traps in the Dojo for quickly gaining points and rank.

As for the Acro trap, I see no reason why anyone able to get it, or with it, would be spending much time on the Mos. If I'm wrong on this, let me know, of course.  -- [[User:Pakaran|Pakaran]] 14:11, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

:The info on obtaining Ethereal Rope is located within the Jungle of Dread article, in the Mice section... I agree it could be made clearer; I actually argued against only putting the location. Previously the specific mice were listed who dropped the loot. You can read the discussion, and add your input over here: [[Talk:Crafting#Cleanup_of_Crafting_article]] (and please do, I need some support!) -- [[User:Camomiletea|Camomiletea]] 02:59, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
  
:Thanks for your input! What would you recommend to put in that table cell? I could be unspecidifc and say "any [[shadow]] or [[arcane]] type trap" instead. [[User:Camomiletea|Camomiletea]] 17:03, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
 
  
::I think that's a good idea. Any Shadow or Arcane trap sounds great. By this rank they should be able to figure out for themselves more power = better catch = more expensive = not necessarily a good choice vs moving to next location.

== Images ==
 +
Regarding your comment yesterday regarding the blingbot: "DeathBot (Chrome Edition) Needs full-res image Replacement needed"
  
::Anyways I wouldn't worry too much about the specifics. Once the majority of the information is there, everything will fall in place, since you'll be able to compare it with the previous and following location writeups, and anything out of place is more easily spotted :) -- [[User:Grexx|Grexx]] 17:15, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
+
I have the blingbot, but haven't done anything with images on the wiki ... where do I upload the image to?  Do I use the enlarged camp page image?  (i.e., the one which will also show base + cheese?) [[User:WyndStryke|WyndStryke]] 19:29, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
  
I've made some minor adjustments to some of the locations and added a brief introduction to the use of the page. Also, about the Training Grounds info, have you tried using any of the Physical traps there? To my knowledge they don't work well, so shouldn't be in the recommended trap list. -- [[User:Grexx|Grexx]] 16:55, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
+
:Yes, the enlarged camp page image is fine. If you can, we've previously tried to standardize the images with a regular Wooden base and no bait (e.g. you can equip cheddar and sell it to the shop) -- there are a lot of images that don't follow the standard though...  I see a lot of images are hosted on ImageShack or Tinypic... -- [[User:Camomiletea|Camomiletea]] 19:50, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
  
:Thank you. I think this page may be ready to move out someplace. Only Catacombs left, and I'm not up to that level yet, although I could write up based one forum posts and other Wiki info... I don't think I put the physical traps under recommended - only under minimal for TG. I got ZLM right away, personally, but there is a thread in Newbie forum that says at a minimum you need to have FF. [[User:Camomiletea|Camomiletea]] 17:07, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

:: Sold 7,800 cheddar :-)  Anyway, the image is at http://i35.tinypic.com/2wr13is.jpg and it's approx 640x700. I actually saved it as a PNG but tinypic converted it to jpg. Many thanks for the advice :-)  [[User:WyndStryke|WyndStryke]] 20:18, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
  
::Oops I meant minimum trap. I'm not sure if it should be there at all, anyways I'll drop by there for a few catches to confirm. And other than that, yup it's certainly almost ready! Just doing a little tidying up before the launch :D I'll complete the Catacombs writeup since you're not familiar with the location, then we'll let you have the honor of creating the new page and announcing on the forums :) We'll stick to the name [[Location Quick Reference]] as per our discussion on the general path talk page. -- [[User:Grexx|Grexx]] 17:15, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi Camomiletea, just noticed that the http://pics.livejournal.com banner images that are linked for Clearing, GGT and Lagoon are coming up with an error message. Do you still have them and are you able to re-upload please? No hurry, I'm slowly going to make my way around, adding all the current banners since there's now the 'stepped' wooden bit, rather than the smooth arc. :) [[User:Lamballs|Lamballs]] 16:38, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
  
::Oh my, it does appear that Physical traps can work decently in the Training Grounds. I just missed an [[Archer Mouse]] using the DDB/Exp without a less effective message. I'll be staying there for a while more to confirm the rest of the mice. While not necessarily ideal, it does fit the criteria of minimum trap. Looks like the effectiveness page needs an additional line about this too. -- [[User:Grexx|Grexx]] 17:38, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

:This sometimes happens with livejournal... The picture may or may not come back. I have a smaller "preview" image created out of it (http://pics.livejournal.com/camomiletea/pic/000stdk7/s640x480), but no original one (can't reupload). -- [[User:Camomiletea|camomiletea]] 17:05, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

==Trap Rankings==
 +
I have a question, and I believe it will lead to a lengthy discussion; Why have you removed the power rankings from all the traps? I did not see any discussion on doing so recently, but maybe I missed some kind of decision on the issue. I have always found that information helpful, and I think many other have as well. I know that the power statistic is not the only important thing to consider when deciding on which trap to use/buy for a specific situation, but I do not think that it a harmful statistic to have. I wonder what your thought process on this was? Do you feel the ranking is no longer accurate, or that they need to recalculated based upon some new information? Do you worry that by ranking them as the "Most Powerful" trap that some readers may equate that to "Best" trap of its power type? My concern is that I have not found any charts/lists that one can easily use to compare all the traps of a power type to see which is the "best" for a particular situation. --[[User:Niehusa|Niehusa]] 01:49, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

Okay...I stand corrected, I have apparently never looked down far enough on the traps page to see that there is tabulated data on all the traps. I understand the reasoning for this move, but I still think that it could be presented in a better format somehow. I think that smaller charts of just a single power type would be very nice, as the charts we have can not be sorted by more than one attribute at a time. --[[User:Niehusa|niehusa]] 02:13, 25 December 2009 (UTC)
  
== Your Mouse Gallery ==
+
:The [[Talk:Traps#Trap_Ranking|discussions]] happened a while ago, and a [[MHWiki:Articles_needing_attention|task was submitted]] to remove the rankings from the individual trap articles. The reasoning is that all the Nth stuff gets obsolete every time there's a new trap, and it's really hard to keep track and update every individual page (we don't have enough people contributing to the Wiki on a regular basis to maintain the accuracy of information). Additionally, the traps can be compared on the overall [[Traps]] page much more easily by sorting the columns for the features you are interested in. Actually the charts can be sorted by more than one attribute at a time. You just have to go in reverse order. E.g. sort by luck first, then by power type, and you get a sorting of traps by luck within each power type. It works like in the Excel spreadsheet. -- [[User:Camomiletea|Camomiletea]] 03:32, 25 December 2009 (UTC)
  
Hey, I see that you're working on a Mouse Gallery - which is awesome.  I was working on one too, I called it my MouseViewer but I haven't really been able to keep it up to date with all the new mice.  Though, I would like to give you the link so that you can feel free to use any of the images and information I've collected on it.  [http://gtaero.net/files/code/mousehunt/ http://gtaero.net/files/code/mousehunt/].

Hi... thanks for the tip. It took a while, but I had finally come across a reference to using the correct link. I wasn't using the MH toolbar though - I was just using the Wiki link at the bottom of every MH page. It was rather annoying, as I had added a new entry (Hitgrab Horsey) but because it took an hour to figure out why I wasn't able to commit my changes, someone else had already gone in and scooped me.  sigh.
 
  
Also, just had the same problem even trying to add this comment in here!  grr! :)

+
:Hi! Thanks for working on this. I think it's an improvement. At this point I'm just confused about that task. There are still rankings in the bases articles (e.g. highest / third-highest), but I don't know what else we could say about the bases in order to avoid rankings altogether. Soo... Meh.

== "Nth most powerful" (type) traps ==
+
I got it from the artist's Facebook page and made no alterations. I know we try to standardize the image but at the time there was no image at all. --[[User:Camomiletea|camomiletea]] 16:15, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
  
Hey, we have a lot of weapon articles that list the relevant weapon as being the nth most powerful (either of its type or overall). When new traps are released (like now), those tend to lag getting updated (the chromebot was listed as 5th most powerful, when it's actually 9th, behind all new traps but the mutant - I removed the note about overall "rank" from its article)
+
:I see. I've replaced it with the standardized image. [[User:YiKai|YiKai]] 20:31, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
  
There are also issues with power bonus - the Ambush, for example, I believe ranks behind the PartyBot and ChromeBot with every single base, even though its power is above theirs.  The Ambush in particular is no longer listed as "nth highest" anything... but the issue will come up with other traps.  I just think we need to standardize how we make those sorts of remarks (perhaps only doing so for the top "few" in a power type, or only when it's relevant), and also make sure not to mislead people (while being objective too - we can't say things like "BG sucks" even if we feel that way).  Just some thoughts... which I'm putting here since you're the most active editor at present.  -- [[User:Pakaran|Pakaran]] 20:35, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
+
== Attention needed ==
  
:I agree; I think that [perhaps only doing so for the top "few" in a power type, or only when it's relevant] was the original intent too, so if a trap is like 5th on the list, it's probably no longer significant enough for a note. If you would like to update the trap articles, please feel free to :) Thanks! -- [[User:Camomiletea|Camomiletea]] 20:45, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

Are you sure you want to remove [[Effectiveness]] from the See Also section? I realize it's already referred to in the article, but given how closely related the two pages are, it seems like a good idea to keep it in the links below. I even question the usefulness of the Power Type page; the Effectiveness page could replace easily replace it. [[User:Mouser|Mouser]] 19:20, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
+
I noticed on your user page that you intended to test whether the Scruffy Mouse can be attracted to White Cheddar, seeing as its a White/Brown hybrid. It just so happens that I've been hunting at the Windmill today in an effort to get the Spud Egg, and I've managed to catch eight Scruffy mice over the past few hours while using White Cheddar as bait. I know you posted that some time ago, so please forgive me if you've already tested it, but I thought I'd share my results with you in case you hadn't gotten around to it and were still wanting to know. Anyway, hope you're having a good day.

:I'm not sure that the effectiveness should be covered at all on the [[Power Type]]s page, because it is covered already on [[Effectiveness]] and in each dedicated power type page (i.e. [[Physical]], [[Tactical]], etc.). It seems to me that this article should simply be a jumping point to those other ones.

In recognition of the excellent contributions that Camomiletea has made to the MH Wiki.
  -- Grexx 21:39, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Some notable contributions:

  • Helping recover lost information about Mice loot drop frequency.
  • Putting lots of effort into making Location Quick Reference a reality, starting from discussions on the old General Path article.

Summary pages

As a relatively new player, I greatly appreciate the effort you've put into making this wiki useful. I'd suggest, though, that the wiki should keep all the individual pages for the minor crafting items. The master list is definitely worth having, but, for instance, there is no longer any information about how to get Ethereal Rope other than to go to the Jungle of Dread and just hunt.

When you removed the main article on Ethereal Rope, you mentioned that it was too short. On Wikipedia, I'd agree with you, but on a closed-universe wiki like this one, it seems to me that we'd be better off having all the articles so that hunters can find what information is available and so that there's a place to put further info if it turns up.

What are your thoughts? (And if this issue has been discussed elsewhere, please point me to the conversation!)

Chrylis 02:26, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

The info on obtaining Ethereal Rope is located within the Jungle of Dread article, in the Mice section... I agree it could be made clearer; I actually argued against only putting the location. Previously the specific mice were listed who dropped the loot.

Images

Regarding your comment yesterday regarding the blingbot: "DeathBot (Chrome Edition) Needs full-res image Replacement needed"

I have the blingbot, but haven't done anything with images on the wiki ... where do I upload the image to? Do I use the enlarged camp page image? (i.e., the one which will also show base + cheese?) WyndStryke 19:29, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

Yes, the enlarged camp page image is fine. If you can, we've previously tried to standardize the images with a regular Wooden base and no bait (e.g. you can equip cheddar and sell it to the shop) -- there are a lot of images that don't follow the standard though... I see a lot of images are hosted on ImageShack or Tinypic... -- Camomiletea 19:50, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
Sold 7,800 cheddar :-) Anyway, the image is at http://i35.tinypic.com/2wr13is.jpg and it's approx 640x700. I actually saved it as a PNG but tinypic converted it to jpg. Many thanks for the advice :-) WyndStryke 20:18, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi Camomiletea, just noticed that the http://pics.livejournal.com banner images that are linked for Clearing, GGT and Lagoon are coming up with an error message. Do you still have them and are you able to re-upload please? No hurry, I'm slowly going to make my way around, adding all the current banners since there's now the 'stepped' wooden bit, rather than the smooth arc. :) Lamballs 16:38, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

This sometimes happens with livejournal... The picture may or may not come back. I have a smaller "preview" image created out of it (http://pics.livejournal.com/camomiletea/pic/000stdk7/s640x480), but no original one (can't reupload). -- camomiletea 17:05, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
I just thought of the MHWiki:Image_Links which is one place to check for duplicate image links in case one goes down; unfortunately nobody duplicated the location banner images other than the King's Gauntlet. -- camomiletea 17:09, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

Trap Rankings

I have a question, and I believe it will lead to a lengthy discussion; Why have you removed the power rankings from all the traps? I did not see any discussion on doing so recently, but maybe I missed some kind of decision on the issue. I have always found that information helpful, and I think many other have as well. I know that the power statistic is not the only important thing to consider when deciding on which trap to use/buy for a specific situation, but I do not think that it a harmful statistic to have. I wonder what your thought process on this was? Do you feel the ranking is no longer accurate, or that they need to recalculated based upon some new information? Do you worry that by ranking them as the "Most Powerful" trap that some readers may equate that to "Best" trap of its power type? My concern is that I have not found any charts/lists that one can easily use to compare all the traps of a power type to see which is the "best" for a particular situation. --Niehusa 01:49, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

Okay...I stand corrected, I have apparently never looked down far enough on the traps page to see that there is tabulated data on all the traps. I understand the reasoning for this move, but I still think that it could be presented in a better format somehow. I think that smaller charts of just a single power type would be very nice, as the charts we have can not be sorted by more than one attribute at a time. --niehusa 02:13, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

The discussions happened a while ago, and a task was submitted to remove the rankings from the individual trap articles. The reasoning is that all the Nth stuff gets obsolete every time there's a new trap, and it's really hard to keep track and update every individual page (we don't have enough people contributing to the Wiki on a regular basis to maintain the accuracy of information). Additionally, the traps can be compared on the overall Traps page much more easily by sorting the columns for the features you are interested in. Actually the charts can be sorted by more than one attribute at a time. You just have to go in reverse order. E.g. sort by luck first, then by power type, and you get a sorting of traps by luck within each power type. It works like in the Excel spreadsheet. -- Camomiletea 03:32, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

Your livejournal is down

It's down. just a heads up, you host a lot of images =/ --Victor.Songtalk 01:10, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Are you sure? The pictures display fine for me? How long has it been down for you? Thanks. -- camomiletea 02:37, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
Yes, I'm sure. I get a 404 http://i.imgur.com/3trbk.png. It's been like this for a couple hours now. This is the image of yours in question: http://pics.livejournal.com/camomiletea/pic/000zbapf.png.Victor.Songtalk 04:21, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
Your specific link 404s but I spot checked some pictures browsing from http://pics.livejournal.com/camomiletea and they seemed to work. Perhaps a mislink? What is the picture in question? --Hyperchao 10:10, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
I found it. It's a Spicy Havarti link. It's supposed to be in my gallery -- thumbnail is still there, but the full version doesn't work. I'll contact tech support. -- camomiletea 17:01, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
I checked all the other MH-related images and they seemed to be fine... It might be simplest to just replace the broken link, because I'm not sure how long it would take to restore the picture or if it's restorable at all. -- camomiletea 19:02, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Feedback on bases

I took a stab at improving the base articles. My goals were to make the language more neutral while providing useful information and attempting to make the articles more consistent. Can you look this over and let me know what you think? -- Ralphminer 17:59, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi! Thanks for working on this. I think it's an improvement. At this point I'm just confused about that task. There are still rankings in the bases articles (e.g. highest / third-highest), but I don't know what else we could say about the bases in order to avoid rankings altogether. Soo... Meh. I'd ask User:Grexx who set up that task to see what his opinion is. -- camomiletea 04:19, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

Re: Eclipse

I think it works pretty much the same in MH3 as in MH2 they just not officially of some type, but have certain weaknesses. That seem to be just simple rewording. But OK, that might have been confusing for new users. --Nux 20:47, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

Code

Hi Camomiletea in fact I don't think these are going to slow down the performance. The size of the page rendered is not proportionate to the size of the wiki code. so reducing the code is not making much of difference IMHO. --Bencmq 15:12, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Okay, maybe I'm just a little obsessive ;) It just looks cleaner, maybe make work easier for future editors. -- camomiletea 17:53, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
but don't forget readers first, then editors. --Bencmq 10:22, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

Trap images

Hi Camomiletea, may I know how you got this image? I'm trying to replace that with the standardized image with wooden base, but I only managed to get a smaller version like this by saving it to the FB album. Did you stretch it digitally or is it inherently of a better resolution? Thanks in advance! :) YiKai 10:11, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

I got it from the artist's Facebook page and made no alterations. I know we try to standardize the image but at the time there was no image at all. --camomiletea 16:15, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

I see. I've replaced it with the standardized image. YiKai 20:31, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

Attention needed

Hi, may I request your kind attention to the Talk Page regarding your edit on the Pumpkin Treat Basket article. Thanks. — YiKai 12:21, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

Scruffy and White Cheddar

I noticed on your user page that you intended to test whether the Scruffy Mouse can be attracted to White Cheddar, seeing as its a White/Brown hybrid. It just so happens that I've been hunting at the Windmill today in an effort to get the Spud Egg, and I've managed to catch eight Scruffy mice over the past few hours while using White Cheddar as bait. I know you posted that some time ago, so please forgive me if you've already tested it, but I thought I'd share my results with you in case you hadn't gotten around to it and were still wanting to know. Anyway, hope you're having a good day. Cheers! —MearsMan talk 20:28, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

Missing images

I noticed you were trying to track missing images by hand. For Mice and trap components (anything that goes through a template), this is now done automatically via the template page. Check out Category:Missing Image... -- ericb talkcontr 17:09, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

excellent! Thank you. -- camomiletea 19:31, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
