you're doing some great editing - lots of these pages have really wordy sections in an informal tone. i wanted to point out that the 'presents' page should probably go. there is a 'present' (singular) page with good info in it. i just didn't want to delete a page without someone else confirming it.

Thank you! Yes, go for it. Can regular users delete pages? It’s been a few years since I’ve done some heavy editing on a wiki and the last I remembered only admins could delete pages. I was hoping to apply for an admin role here in a little bit to do some further constructive edits such as deleting the request pages that do not belong in the article section of the wiki.

that would be great if you became an admin. the landing page is way out of date but is locked so it can't be updated. it doesn't even reference the introduction/gameplay page. when looking at this site on mobile it's hard to figure out how to get to the content pages. there's also a menu item (Levels) that points to a redirect page that should be updated - but again, it's locked. i'll see if i can delete the Presents page without having any special privs and let you know if i can't!

Holykrip (talk) 20:24, July 30, 2020 (UTC)

Yes, all that needs to be updated. There are a few other locked pages (the old Glass and Chroma pages specifically) that need editing (those should really be merged with the current ones, but thats a project for another day) but at the moment nothing can be done. Historically, mobile isn't the best platform for Fandom, but theres not much that can be done about that. I've moved to my laptop so hopefully I'll be able to do some more lengthy edits. Also, I've been adding a candidate for deletion category to each page that should be deleted, so if you can't figure out how to delete the page, do that and I can take care of it when (hopefully) I get admin tools.

good idea about a category for those. it turns out i cannot not delete pages, so i will mark them with that category. i've also left notes on the talk pages - before they're deleted someone needs to check to see if any other pages link there. in the case of "Presents" i think i've updated pages to bypass that one, but in the of "Leveling" it's referenced by the main gameplay dropdown menu and it needs an admin to change it to "Level" before it can be deleted without breaking links.

Ok, we'll just have to leave the deletion pages for now and come back to those later. I can check links as I go through to delete them. I checked the Leveling tab, it gets redirected to the levels page which will work for now, but that definitely needs to be fixed eventually.

Admin privs
hi ZST! dalekcaan1 made me an admin as well. i'm not sure why they didn't do you because you've been much more active. maybe they are planning to and just haven't yet. in any case, i now should be able to delete pages and edit menus that weren't available to us before. let me know if you want me to start on the delete pages. i just unprotected the chroma and glass pages for you - were there any others? Holykrip (talk) 14:28, August 12, 2020 (UTC)

both your suggestions about badges and the message wall sound good - these talk pages are cumbersome to thread a conversation. i'll see if i can do that. Holykrip (talk) 15:15, August 12, 2020 (UTC)

hi - fidellaC changed back to talk pages. i'm not sure when the wiki will be migrated to the new forums/etc, but maybe after that we'll see what is different and maybe walls will make more sense then. Holykrip (talk) 16:12, August 12, 2020 (UTC)

Hi, I actually already added the external links on the Connecting to other players" section. Reezies (talk) 18:03, August 13, 2020 (UTC)

Android Version Question
hi ZST - i was looking again at the android racing stats pages that were marked for deletion. i only have an iphone so i know nothing about the android version, but i googled it and pocket frogs seems to be a current android app. like the iphone version, did they have to redo it once mobage was dropped? so does it mean that the stats are the same for iphone and android so separate android pages aren't needed anymore? thanks if you know more about this and can help me sort it out! thanks, Holykrip (talk) 16:45, August 15, 2020 (UTC)

Sorry for the delayed response- I've been a little busy IRL. I also have an iPhone so I do not know much about Android. I believe the app was redone once Mobage was dropped (If NimbleBit controls both apps, I don't see why the stats would be different), since there was a period of time where Pocket Frogs was not supported on Android. The pages are also incomplete, so maybe we could ask on the forums and get someone to confirm if the stats between Android and iPhone are the same? I feel as if that's outdated information those pages not needed anymore and could be confusing to someone looking for stats (especially since some pages such as Anura have stats on them). I saw that the deletion boxes were deleted off those pages today so I'm not going to touch them anytime soon (I have a feeling my edits aren't really appreciated either). All in all, I think the stats are the same across the two app versions and that those pages are outdated and not needed, and lead to confusion (especially in comparison to Anura and other pattern pages that have stats info on them), but I don't think its my jurisdiction to do anything to them anymore. Let me know what you think about asking in the forums, and we can see what we can do about them. ZeroSuitToadette     Talk    This schist is gneiss   02:37, August 17, 2020 (UTC)

Re:Chroma & Glass pages
That sounds like a good plan. I know that it's certainly easier to link to Glass or Chroma than Chroma, lots of word salad. Vandraedha talk contribs 04:11, August 17, 2020 (UTC)
