Contents block

{{contents}} does not parse correctly on all themes.

Not themed properly and alignment off. --Kharay1977 23:04, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

It's like that with every other table of contents on the site. That's no reason to remove it. Manocheese 23:56, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

• It is a reason to fix it however. The block itself I mean. --Kharay1977 00:03, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

The alignment seems fine from the pic, and I've now eliminated the background color and adjusted the border to use a color visible on multiple skins. The real problem here is that skin stylesheets don't load for most people. Ideally the styles for all the widespread templates and tables would be through CSS classes that would be dependent on every skin's unique stylesheet. I've let nate know about this problem, but so far it's been unresolved. Feel free to bring it up again, and maybe with some concrete examples (this problem also cropped up in the Super Mario Galaxy 2/Star Times page), he or someone else who has access can figure out what's wrong with their install. — najzere ( talk ) 01:40, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

The alignment doesn't seem fine. Why align it to the right when all the rest of the page ends up blank like this? That just looks horrid. --Kharay1977 01:45, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

For the record, I was referring to the main page of the title (Metroid Prime) there. So, Metroid_Prime. --Kharay1977 01:50, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

It's on the right so it doesn't interfere with the automatically generated table of contents for the page. It doesn't look so weird when there's an introductory paragraph explaining what the page is about. — najzere ( talk ) 04:28, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

HBJ and UBJ

People will probably want to know what these stand for. — unsigned comment from Manocheese (talk)

• Obviously. All in due time however. --Kharay1977 00:03, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

i don't even think they actually stand for anything these days. they've changed several times and who knows what's accepted now. - sparky

They don't. The acronyms lost all meaning in these past years. --Kharay1977 12:00, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Techniques

I see you've been adding to the techniques, 'sparky. Wonderful. I actually wondered why Metroid2002.com's entry for MP1 was so outdated. Good thing you're around to fill in the gaps. --Kharay1977 23:02, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Wallcrawl

hopefully what i wrote makes sense... Also, once i get around to making videos i'll be making a list of the "manual dumping" spots (the last bullet) that i know of for various rooms. - sparky

DBJ & Infinite Bomb Jump

@Bartendorsparky - Could you add DBJ to this page? You're more familiar with it than I and I'm in the process of cross referencing some other pages in the Metroid Prime article to specific sections on this page. --Kharay1977 13:58, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

Same request for Infinite Bomb Jump, which is a technique mentioned in Metroid_Prime/Skipping_Items#Cargo_Freight_Lift_to_Deck_Gamma_2. --Kharay1977 13:58, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

done - sparky
