: YesAs the [[wildcard]] article mentions, gamers can hatch the first trait, and one of the two remaining traitsSo, if you can hatch trait 1 and trait 3 for a species, but (also) want trait 2, find someone who can hatch (trait 1 and) trait 2 of that speciesSince they can't hatch trait 3, it makes sense to trade your trait 3s for their trait 2s, and you both will have all 3 traits.  --[[User:FeralKitty|FeralKitty]] ([[User_talk:FeralKitty|talk]]) 17:58, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Hey FK!
 
 
 
I see you've been putting in tonnes of work here - that's awesome. Please do let me know if you need any help with anything. I'm pretty wise in the ways of the wiki. –<font face="Verdana">[[User:Xenocidic|<font color="black">'''xeno'''cidic</font>]] ([[User talk:Xenocidic|<font color="black">talk</font>]])</font> 23:00, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
 
 
 
== Category:Arctic - :Arctic species ? ==
 
 
 
Do you think it's worthwhile to make a subcat? Will there be vegetation that is confirmed to the arctic, for example, that might also need to be categorized? –<font face="Verdana">[[User:Xenocidic|<font color="black">'''xeno'''cidic</font>]] ([[User talk:Xenocidic|<font color="black">talk</font>]])</font> 02:30, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
 
 
 
 
 
There will be arctic (and desert) plants, and we'll most likely do categories for them -- we already have an old [[:Category:Water Flower]], for exampleAt the moment, arctic is a sub-category of species, and the plants are sub-categories of [[:Category:Garden Piece]].  If there were enough arctic articles for a top-level, then it ''may'' be worth doing a top-level category, as we've done with/for Species.  (Species used to be the category for the Classic species, when there was only one game in existence.)
 
 
 
Navbox-wise, though, we treat the plants as a single collective [[Template:Plants|<nowiki>{{plants}}</nowiki>]] Navbox and that will probably remain that way at the bottom of their articles.  I don't think we're going to break them down by game, as we now do species.
 
 
 
In general, I think I'm trying to stick to the KISS principle, not overcategorize, and mostly just fix things that need reorganizing to support multiple games, instead of trying to fix everything at once.
 
 
 
Since the time we've known about the new games, we've talked about reorganizing things, and a lot of changes that are being made are a result of that long and continuing reorg discussion.  There's an old [[User:FeralKitty/Reorg]] document that hasn't been updated in agesIt mostly lists what we want to fix, but not what has (exactly) been decided, since then.  --[[User:FeralKitty|FeralKitty]] 03:12, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
 
:Ok. {{tl|VP2}} will add the article to [[:Category:Trouble in Paradise]], which should help us focus on the new stuff once the game hits. {{tl|div}} can be used to more easily do those different tabbing boxes. basically if I start doing stuff that is running counter to how you guys have already planned, just let me know. I'll go over that reorg doc now. could you tweak your sig to include a link to your talk page? also, feel free to reply wherever a conversation starts rather than bouncing back and forth. –<font face="Verdana">[[User:Xenocidic|<font color="black">'''xeno'''cidic</font>]] ([[User talk:Xenocidic|<font color="black">talk</font>]])</font> 03:18, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

== Linking to tabs ==
 
 
 
{{tl|link}} now works, unfortunately the bold of the page you're on seems to break. (Test it out on the first two species of [[Template:Species-TroubleInParadise-Standard]]) I think it's an unfortunate tradeoff for the convenience of linking to tabs. What do you think of renaming the species-standard to just #Trouble in Paradise ? it would make things a little easier for internal link purposes, and the default target for the link template would be Trouble in Paradise so that people wouldn't have to supply a paramater to link to an article or species from VP2. –<font face="Verdana">[[User:Xenocidic|<font color="black">'''xeno'''cidic</font>]] ([[User talk:Xenocidic|<font color="black">talk</font>]])</font> 15:06, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
 
: We'd be trading one annoyance for another annoyance.  I know I definitely utilize bold to see where I am, without having to glance elsewhere.  There's no solution that lets both work?  As for renaming, are you talking about the tab (i.e., TiP - Standard -> Trouble in Paradise)?  We use that tab label already for tabs that apply to both modesI would think it would be confusing to mix conventions, wouldn't it?  --[[User:FeralKitty|FeralKitty]] ([[User_talk:FeralKitty|talk]]) 15:22, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
 
::There might be a workaround, I can perhaps ask my wiki-wiz friend over at en.wiki if he can think of a better way. But if not, I think the convenience of linking directly to tabs outweighs the bold, at least for our readers.
 
::As for the renaming, yes... I think the "Jff" tab is pretty self-explanatory what it's for, and I *think* most readers I think will be looking for standard information... (the just for fun crowd doesn't strike me as the wiki-crawling type). it's intuitive that "Trouble in Paradise" (just so) in terms of an article will apply to both , in terms of a species, will be standard and "Just for fun species information" disambiguates it. Not sure if I'm making sense. in any case, it makes linking directly to tabs a lot easier and with parameters to remember. –<font face="Verdana">[[User:Xenocidic|<font color="black">'''xeno'''cidic</font>]] ([[User talk:Xenocidic|<font color="black">talk</font>]])</font> 15:41, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
 
::: We use the convention in numerous places.  Are we talking about dropping - Standard from, say, Navbox titles too, to be consistent with the tab?  Also, how do you distinguish between a "Trouble in Paradise" tab that only applies to Standard, and a "Trouble in Paradise" tab that applies to '''both''' modes?  Doesn't that create an ambiguity?
 
::: Having an either/or/both trinary also gave us the most flexibility for the style sheets.  I'm not sure that we should move from a more flexible capacity to a more limited capacity.  Still, I'll leave it up to Jim to see what he thinks.  --[[User:FeralKitty|FeralKitty]] ([[User_talk:FeralKitty|talk]]) 16:03, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
 
::::I'll defer to yours and Jim's judgment on this one - I haven't gotten my feet wet enough to understand quite where the confusion would lie. I haven't been keeping up enough to know exactly what jff entails. –<font face="Verdana">[[User:Xenocidic|<font color="black">'''xeno'''cidic</font>]] ([[User talk:Xenocidic|<font color="black">talk</font>]])</font> 16:12, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Wildcards

So the Wildcards differ from Gamertag to Gamertag? --The40yearoldHorstachio-5956 16:46, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Yes. As the wildcard article mentions, gamers can hatch the first trait, and one of the two remaining traits. So, if you can hatch trait 1 and trait 3 for a species, but (also) want trait 2, find someone who can hatch (trait 1 and) trait 2 of that species. Since they can't hatch trait 3, it makes sense to trade your trait 3s for their trait 2s, and you both will have all 3 traits. --FeralKitty (talk) 17:58, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
