PV images?

Do you think we should have PV images for the accessorized pinatas in this list? –xenocidic (talk) 13:25, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

I agree with you about the PVCs, but what do you think is the best way to list them? Chart form with small images or image links? --ImaTestWentBad 06:37, 3 April 2009 (UTC) Sorry, I forgot to mention something. I think that when you scan a PVC the pinata forgets the tricks it may have learned when captured. So if this is true, would it worth the trouble to make them? I still think it would be, but let me know what you all think. --ImaTestWentBad 06:49, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Yes, the tricks are an issue, but it's still faster to scan a varianted image with accessories, and merely teach it a trick, rather than buying/scanning a pinata, varianting it and/or loading it up with certain accessories, and then training it. I'd go with the chart form with small images. Although you generally don't want too many images on a page for various reasons, I think it's worth doing for this article.

The other change I'd suggest for this page, is to list the accessory that's unlocked for completing a country's challenges. --FeralKitty (talk) 07:06, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

That's funny that you just wrote that while I was adding the accessories. I thought about it while I was adding links to the respected pinatas, so it's already done. Now to add some images! --ImaTestWentBad 07:53, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Naming the challenges PVCs.

I know this question has already been answered by FK, but I can't seem to remember where the original question was asked. When naming these cards for the challenges, I would use the following format: PinataName-TroubleInParadise-Challenges-Region#country-PV.jpg? or should I omit one of those specifics. I don't want to have an outrageously long file name. Another question would be where do I place the [[Category:Piñata Vision image]] link by hand in the upload file wizard page? This will be my first PVCs with pinatas in them and I want them to also be in the gallery of pinata images. Do I just put it in the summary? I am confused by this simple little thing.--ImaTestWentBad 22:05, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

I'd go with a short name, e.g., Lemmoning-TroubleInParadise-Russia-PV.jpg since I believe the species-country combination is unique. As for the upload, if you use the wizard, you don't have to add the category tag, as the wizard adds it for you. Click on the upload file link, and the wizard is at the top of the page. Answer the questions by clicking on the right response:

• Which video game is this media from? - Click show next to Trouble in Paradise.
• Is this a Piñata Vision image? - Click show next to Yes.
• What is the subject of the media? - Click "A species of pinata" or "A variant of pinata" as appropriate.

A partially-filled-in form will be created. Fill in the description, e.g., "A green Lemmoning with weather girl wig and bling teeth. Needs to learn one trick." --FeralKitty (talk) 01:28, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Concerns?

I posted some tables on this page but my concern is about how much I shrunk up the TOC for easy access. Shall I put back the sub-headers? It looks silly since there is already a centered name on each table. Maybe I should remove the name? --ImaTestWentBad 18:35, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I think that's a good idea to put back the sub-headings, making it easier to navigate to them, as you mention. It's also a nice visual break between the list of unlocked accessories/items and the table that follows. (Headings also serve as anchors, if we needed to link from another article to a specific country.) If you think it looks better without a table caption, go for it. Table captions aren't required.

Thanks for all your hard work on this article! --FeralKitty (talk) 18:57, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

This article looks great! Good thing the elite chocs are almost gone, because this will make it a cinch to finish up this aspect of the game (yes, I know it's not strictly necessary).

There was discussion above about the tricks that are necessary to send the pinata. I suggest including a second PV card for whatever item will teach the pinata a trick. If you're right there scanning a PV card for the pinata and all you have to do is move the camera over to the other part of the screen paper to instantly have what you need for the trick, that's easier than calling Bart or whatever. Just my 2 cents. Lymaniii 22:21, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
