Okay. Good to know I am on the right track. I'm trying to be as polite as I can and still get my point across. Let's see if I can stick to that when I discuss the walkthroughs. I'll start with the first line of the paragraph that I already posted above.

As for the walkthrough pages, I am much more invested in their development. I joined this wikia, because there were only three walkthroughs and I wanted to change that. I did my best to follow the format that was already there. And when I wanted to change something, I always tried to ask Fearless Diva. For a while the only other guide that people were working on was It Lives In the Woods and in time, other people started working on the other guides as well. It was a slow process and while it is not done yet, we have a walkthrough started for every book that is out as of now. I'm proud of that and I am excited that the wikia has a central location for people to easily find these walkthroughs.

I'm not going to pretend that these guides are perfect or complete, but there is a clear format that we are using for them and it's not what's listed in that formatting guide. As I said above, these is something on the list that I have been planning to ask Fearless Diva for permission to do. That would be adding point of view changes. I since I'm not sure of the format yet and I've mostly been focused on getting first drafts done, I've been keeping track of the changes in several of the notes in my notebooks. It is something that I plan to ask her permission for, but until and unless she okays that idea I don't plan to do it. There are several things I object to in the listing for walkthroughs and I could list them, but the point is, this isn't a call that should have been made, by any one person (with the exception of Fearless Diva, but I believe she would have worked with those of us working on the walkthroughs to make such a list of formatting rules for them).

Ultimately, the biggest thing here is that this is a community. We work together and Fearless Diva is our leader. It has been pointed out more than once that Wolf is MIA, so it's not the both of them, it's her. We listen to her and we don't tell her what to do or what we are going to do. We ask her. And more than than anything, that's bugged me about this whole situation.

Actually, you know what. I still haven't an idea of the format. Someone did put some point of views in one of the walkthroughs recently (not Gogobell, but someone who has actually been working on them), so I think I'd best just go ahead an ask now. What do you think of the idea of putting the change of point of view in the guide? I don't like the way it is currently in there, because they put it under the choice or something like that and I think it should be before the first choice with that character, but what do you think of the idea? I think if we do it, it needs some other indicator than is currently used. I. E. not italics or bold and not a heading. Probably not centered, but that's a possibility. I know how to center something without making it a heading. I had to make some templates to center somethings, because adding in the coding every time was getting a little annoying. I have learned a lot of coding from my wikias (I think I have sixteen). On that note, I do know how to find the coding for switching images in an infobox if Gogobell doesn't know how to do that yet. And I'm really good at figuring out how to insert coding and modify it to fit what is needed. I've been piecing together my own infoboxes for years, because no one I found how infoboxes that did what I wanted.

Also, Gogobell removed the dating info from the page for Endless Summer, Book 3. I seem to recall someone else doing that at some point and being told not to, after which it was put back. I thought you should know. What you do with this info is your call of course and I don't remember if it was you or Wolf who made that call previously, but I image if it was you, you are probably of the same opinion still.

Good news. Although I really don't like the spoiler alert image, I have done some more experimenting (now that I am no longer seeing red other than the red in the image) and it does not mess up the whole page, only the top and only when my iPad is wide rather than tall (if that makes sense). And if that is the case as it appears to be, while I don't want the image there, if you decide you want the image, I think you only have to have it shrunk by about the width of four letters or so, so maybe have the letters brought down one font size and the boarder shorted a little. I dislike the image, but if it could be made small enough to not mess up my screen, I could deal with it. Other than the width, my biggest issue with it is the giant exclamation sign. I don't mind the words. So if the exclamation mark could be removed from it and the width shrunk to accommodate the removal, that would fix the width problem and completely eliminate my objections to it. (Edited to Add: Looks like he changed the image, making it smaller. It's still ugly and I still don't like it, but it is small enough that it doesn't mess up my screen at all, so it's an acceptable compromise. I do think if we are going to keep it, we should see if we can center it, because I think that would help, but if I recall correctly wikia made centering anything tricky. I know how to do it and I think it still works for images. Thoughts?)

So anyway, that is my section on the walkthroughs and my concluding statement. Thoughts?

Edited to Add: Why is Gogobell responding to my messages to you as if he is some sort of authority figure? I am beginning to think the only way I can have a conversation with you on any topic without him jumping in is to post it here. I was tempted to respond to his response with "Who is this 'we' you speak of? Neither you nor I have any authority here? Only Fearless Diva does." The funny thing is, if it was anyone else, I probably wouldn't care, but then if it was anyone else, they probably wouldn't have worded it that way.
