Talk:Panel System

Link Zones?
is there any point in specifying the different sizes and configuration of panel link zones (e.g. "LV Doubler ⑤, LV Doubler ⑥ (four configurations)", "Phantom Gear ④, Phantom Gear+ ④, Phantom Gear++ ⑤")? they should all be listed, if at all, on the individual pages (LV Doubler, Phantom Gear, etc.) and not here, where it's just confusing (same goes for the Gear page). (there also shouldn't be links to pages for each version of a panel) --Neumannz 18:58, October 14, 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) Any official term that appears in the games should be searchable here. There is no guarantee that every reader of this wiki is a KH expert (in fact, it's very unlikely).
 * 2) Those two articles are not summaries, they are lists. Of every gear. For example, what if someone for some reason wants to know how many different types of panels there are? (Maybe they are trying to see if they have the same count in their game) Truncating the list because of similar entries would screw them up, and it's a less elegant solution to say "Just go to every page linked here and see if there are multiple versions listed".
 * 3) Finally, this list especially should use the actual names, not the general names. The specific articles collect information on multiple, related objects with similar names, which is why they don't need the (3) or + in the title - however, this is a list of the actual objects themselves, not a list of related articles.

alright, i can accept that. aside from that, relying on the redirections is unnecessary (and why are you going out of your way?) when there aren't individual articles. why have a link Aeroga when Aeroga is more correct? etc. having redirection is good and we should have those, but i don't understand deliberately putting them in the article. (sorry if i'm sounding rude here)  --Neumannz 22:40, October 14, 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, it makes for cleaner code, and in general, editors shouldn't have to remember what page information is filed under unless they are using an unofficial descriptor for it (for example, linking to Marluxia with "the pink-haired one"). It just makes it easier and cleaner in general. Glorious  CHAOS!  00:12, October 15, 2009 (UTC)

well, i guess i can't complain about it now that i'm doing that for the "recipe" panels... --Neumannz 00:17, October 15, 2009 (UTC)

Grouping?
Should we group all of the material panels into one page instead of all these seperate ones?
 * Most of the material types are legacies of synthesis items from previous games, and since a lot of info can be done for each material type, it would probably be best to continue in the manner we've been doing. Glorious  CHAOS!  00:13, October 15, 2009 (UTC)

I meant with materials like iron and moonstone. Serendipitous
 * I get what you mean, but since 50% of the material types in Days trace back to things from earlier games, and those already have separate articles (Mithril, Orichalcum, etc.), it will be easier to just have separate articles for each. Glorious  CHAOS!  01:53, October 15, 2009 (UTC)

Categorization

Panel setup
I have the maximum level (Roxas, abilities, equipment) panel setup on my game, but I don't have a way of getting screenshots. I think that such an image would actually be what we should use as a main image (as it would be helpful both tip-wise and as an illustration of the scope of the system). If I take a picture of such on a cellphone, could someone with the emulator or some other screen-taking method assemble the image? Glorious  CHAOS!  17:58, December 22, 2009 (UTC)

I didn't know excatly how you wanted the panel setup image, but with those two, you can customize it as you wish.--ShardofTruth 21:13, May 4, 2010 (UTC)

Tables
Are tables with individual stats needed? Or leave it the same? 02:20, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
 * For example? -- 02:31, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm guessing you mean tables to list all the panels with descriptions, locations etc. I think the article is fine as it is for now, but we could experiment using the tables to see if it works better. 02:36, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
