Things to be done

Seems editing on the PH side has slowed down a bit. I know some of the excitement over a new game is wearing off, but we still have a lot of sections that need work. I am asking that our editors continue to help complete the PH section and work on the pages that still need to be done. Please post to let us know which sections you will be able to work on.

• Leaf Journal (seeing as this is the heart of navigating/playing PH, would really like this page completed.

Talent Games (use Harvest Hustle or Firefly Light-Up for an example)

• Bubble Bounce
• Petal Pick-Up
• Water Web

Crafting Nooks

• Bobbin's Tailoring Nook
• Mendy's Tailoring Nook

Areas

• Neverberry Thicket
• Springtime Orchard
• Cherryblossom Heights
• Treetop Bend
• Dewdrop Vale
• Maple Tree Hill
• Pumpkin Patch

Sorry about that. I've been trying to get as much as I can get done in the time I have alloted, but that isn't very much at the moment. Hopefully after these next few weeks I can start to work on some of the sections more and get stucc completed.

Oh, and as a side note it appears that the autumn welcome badge, if not a few others, will dissapear Sunday. Probably a good idea to start getting pics and cataloging the ones that will be dissapearing. ^^

--Jack I 16:35, 1 October 2008 (PDT)

I will put the basic pics for water web. It will take awhile before I could get all the information. I'll ask others for pics of the autumn badges.

--Angel_ocean 16:53, 1 October 2008 (PDT)

I will work on each area on the map, just send me a message telling me how you want it. Thanks.

--Brain 17:14, 1 October 2008 (PDT)

I'm going to start working on the Bubble Bounce page, and try to get some pictures for the tailoring nooks as well as the other tailoring badges (almost have the 2nd tailoring badge, will upload as soon as possible.)

P.S. I copied this list over to my user page like I had the wardrobe items set up, Up.

Pixie Hollow Beta- Released

Now that Beta has been released, there is a lot to do. I'd love to have some rough pages made. Been trying to redo the main page to give a new skeleton. I really need our editors to help filling in the pages. I've seen a lot of work done already and really appreciate it. Just wanted to let everybody know where things stand. Right now I just have some game pages with only their locations listed. Would love to have some in-game images for location information as well as gameplay. Also we need pages about Leaf Journal pages as well as the different areas. I'm hoping to do a large image for the areas but will need some time to work on it. Whatever we can gather now I'd love to have added and I can go back through to work out some of the formatting issues. Eventually we'll need item pages and templates made (thankfully now that items have names), but that is not a top priority as shops aren't open. Might want to work through games and badges to begin with, these seem like helpful guides at the moment. Badges might also be best with a template, might be something we should discuss. Thanks! --UpInTheAir 14:11, 20 September 2008 (PDT)

I was thinking for the badges something along the lines of the template we did for VMK pins, of course substituting some of the areas. Such as Name | How to Obtain it | Picture | Release Dates and Special Notes. That is my idea for it. --Brain 14:41, 20 September 2008 (PDT)

I agree. Wanted to be in the game to make sure I had all the appropriate information before I started working on the templates. I'm hoping to get a game page done as an example and then set to work on these seeing as some badges are limited time only.--UpInTheAir 14:58, 20 September 2008 (PDT)

I tried something out for the badge template in the sandbox, it can be found here: http://www.disneyonlineworlds.com/index.php/Pixie_Hollow_Sandbox#Badge_Template. --Brain 15:33, 20 September 2008 (PDT)

That table works for me, however, converting it to a template is a different story ;) One thing, I was thinking maybe for the badge image, getting the whole thing (w/ the badge name included) in the pic. Currently I'm working on a Harvest Hustle game page, but let me know if you want me to do the template first so you can keep doing badges. The Spring Valley page is off to a great start. Let me know what your plans are.--UpInTheAir 16:00, 20 September 2008 (PDT)

If no one's doing it at the moment, I'll go ahead and begin working on Firefly light-up. Hopefully I should have it done very soon, just wanna make sure no one beat me to it. --Jack I 18:17, 20 September 2008 (PDT)

Sounds good Jacki. I've got a good start on the Harvest Hustle page and am going to develop the badge template right now. I don't have any plans of doing more game pages quite yet. Have collectible/pouch things to do plus Leaf Journal etc. Thanks for letting us know what you're working on and helping. With so many things to do, communication is going to be key so that we don't waste efforts having two people doing the same things. Thanks. --UpInTheAir 18:48, 20 September 2008 (PDT)

I can start getting furniture items if you want? I'm grabbing pictures of what people say they are not working on yet : - ). --Haveamagicalday (Talk | Contributions) 18:56, 20 September 2008 (PDT)

We don't have a PH Furniture template quite yet. I want to make sure I know what information we will be including before I make one. For example, I need to be more familiar with naming conventions so we know if we need a color column, etc. Also, might be helpful to know the shop situation before we make the template. Gathering images is okay though. Either that or perhaps work on another game page or Leaf Journal page/pages?--UpInTheAir 19:05, 20 September 2008 (PDT)

Well, the colors are different as of what I've seen. They have Daisy Pink colors, etc. (not all Disney characters though). So far though, all items seem to have a color which is good :- ). I'll look into the shop thing (if it's out yet) and I'll take some pictures of the leaf journal if I can : - ). --Haveamagicalday (Talk | Contributions) 19:07, 20 September 2008 (PDT)

Shops don't seem to be open yet, hence my thought that we should hold off on the clothing template for now. Still, images need to be gathered nonetheless. Just be sure to note names of items/etc and keep them organized. --UpInTheAir 19:26, 20 September 2008 (PDT)

Ah ok thanks for the heads-up : - ). I learned that the hard way with POTCO with not keeping things organized LOL. So far, I only have 3 furnishings, 2 lamps, and 3 decorations (that's all that they gave me). I also can't seem to get the full image of the leaf journal, it's too big lol.

I'm now working on clothing images, and possibly the help option pages, if they aren't too big of an image. --Haveamagicalday (Talk | Contributions) 19:32, 20 September 2008 (PDT)

Alright. Just a heads up, we've been doing PH images as .png so please try to do the same if you are getting pics. Heading off a bit, will be back later. --UpInTheAir 19:55, 20 September 2008 (PDT)

I have been saving all in .png I saw that you were saving them as that, and they do look better in .png : - ). Ok Up : - ). --Haveamagicalday (Talk | Contributions) 20:03, 20 September 2008 (PDT)

Pixie Hollow - Redone

Just a suggestion, I would halt everything else on here for now. With the sneak peek on September 6th, I have noticed they have redone everything we have currently worked on (exception of the tutorial, which I'm not 100% sure if they have changed or not.) The homes, clothing, furniture, etc features have been redone in game, and thus will have to be redone here too. Might be best to wait for the game to go live to do all of this, don't you guys think? --Jack I 15:08, 6 September 2008 (PDT)

I think that we should still get whatever images we can right now, because it is part of the history of the game. : - ). Any other thoughts? --Haveamagicalday (Talk | Contributions) 15:13, 6 September 2008 (PDT)

Personally I thought about that, and have no problem leaving these as images for the history of the game. Most of the sections from pre-beta are completed, but those that aren't can't be finished unless someone already has all of the info compiled and ready to go. --Jack I 15:35, 6 September 2008 (PDT)

The Pixie Hollow section is actually in pretty good shape. I'm not sure which sections you are suggesting halting...The only pages that currently need making are the general "My Wardrobe" page, which should be easy enough to throw together with images we already have, basically just explaining how the My Wardrobe section allows/allowed users to dress their fairy. The "Friends" section also needs to be done, but I should have images for that already captured. I did a lot of image grabbing before I started making pages. The last thing that I'd like to be done is the completion of the "Meet the Fairy" pages, and looking at the Pixie Hollow website, these pages are all still the same. However I would appreciate if these sections get work on as soon as possible. I'm glad we have been able to get this images to preserve the humble begins of the game.--UpInTheAir 21:48, 6 September 2008 (PDT)

Last I checked, Brain was working on finishing up the "Meet The Fairies" page. I can try to help with a couple, but as of late I haven't had much time to. --Jack I 22:20, 6 September 2008 (PDT)

I have been working on the "Meet the Fairies", but only currently on the fairies from the books, which I have one more to complete, I believe GoodPolarGirl has been working on the fairies from the movies and so-on, but once I have finished up the stories I will be glad to help with the movies. --Brain 07:43, 7 September 2008 (PDT)

I have finished all of the Meet The Fairies section, there may be some minor editing needed, please inform me of anything that needs to be redone. Thanks. --Brain 11:09, 7 September 2008 (PDT)

Image Not Available Template?

I noticed we didn't have an Image Not Available template, so I tried to make one myself. I know, it's not that good, but I tried my best. I tried not to make it to big, so that it wouldn't look bad when used excessively.

I was trying to find a backround image. I tried the Pixie Hollow site symbol, but that didn't turn out to clean. I also tried using the Tink's Tips messages as a concept, but that didn't turn out to good either. --GoodPolarGirl 12:57, 4 August 2008 (PDT)

I think it is a nice image - not large and obtrusive. It is a good size and gets the point across :) -- SpinMarty 16:00, 4 August 2008 (PDT)

My only thoughts are that the image text needs to be more "fairy-ish". Attempted some:

--UpInTheAir 16:03, 4 August 2008 (PDT)

Ooh, both are wonderful! Although, the first one's a little big. The available looks too stretched. The second one is the one I like best. It is small, easy to read, and "fairy-ish" (btw, nice image choice!) --GoodPolarGirl 16:41, 4 August 2008 (PDT)

I was actually leaning towards the second one as well. Didn't have a whole lot of time to play with it but I think it will work for now. Right now I'm not sure how many of these I want to use for our PH pages. I'd rather wait a bit until we get everything a little more settled and then use sparingly.--UpInTheAir 16:52, 4 August 2008 (PDT)

Ah, the second one is my choice as well. Since the game is new I would think that this wouldn't be needed yet or very sparingly (since you can get everything if I recall correctly.) We originally used an "image not available" photo for VMK since there were many items, at the time, that we could not get photos of (either rare items, beta, etc.) Anyhow, just my 2-cents. -- SpinMarty 16:59, 4 August 2008 (PDT) Bold text

Timeline and Important Upadtes

Should we create a thread similar to what we did with VMK on the release/retire/re-release and updates like we did with VMK's? Since some badges were retired, then re-released, and there will probably be more later of the same thing. --Haveamagicalday (Talk | Contributions) 17:18, 8 October 2008 (PDT)

If we could start compiling release/retire/event date information, that would be great. I know we already have many things to add such as the badges you mentioned and the release of the second tailor shop the Sunday after Beta opened I believe? We'll also need to include the Berry Festival, etc. This is definitely something we should work on before too much time passes.--UpInTheAir 17:31, 8 October 2008 (PDT)

Can I create a page called Pixie Hollow: Timeline and Important Updates? Make a rough skeleton similar to VMK's timeline? --Haveamagicalday (Talk | Contributions) 17:37, 8 October 2008 (PDT)

Sure. Please be sure to work on your other PH projects as well ;) Did we ever figure out a format for the help guide?--UpInTheAir 17:51, 8 October 2008 (PDT)

I've been thinking on that, and I can't really think of a way that would work. If we put it into separate pages for each part, some would only have one image and thats all. If we put them into galleries, then people would have to click on each one to be able to read them. Does anybody have any ideas for that page? :-) --Haveamagicalday (Talk | Contributions) 18:17, 8 October 2008 (PDT)

I'll look into it when I get the chance. Won't be today, I'm outta here ;)--UpInTheAir 18:18, 8 October 2008 (PDT)

Ok, talk to you later Up! --Haveamagicalday (Talk | Contributions) 18:27, 8 October 2008 (PDT)
