Talk:Metal Gear Wiki/Archive 1

Guys, you really need a better navigation sytem on this wiki. Add links to each canonical game and in each game page put links to its synopsis, characters, walkthrough etc. I found it almost impossible to find my way around here.

Urr, could you elaborate on that a little? I don't have any idea what you mean... also what's up with these Categories you've added? Everything seemed fine as it is.

(P.S. Sorry if I sound pissy, I don't mean it, I've just had a long day)

It does seem like there isn't much in the way of organisation here - check out something like the Star Wars Wiki (featured on the Wikia main page, and the most popular Wiki) which has great navigation, categories and templates. They also use standard layout an an 'in-universe' perspective; i.e. from the point-of-view of someone within that story, which works well - Kwenn 18:29, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

I will start to make navigation better on the wiki, however for the most part there have only been 2 to 3 people working on the wiki, and im at University now, which makes it all the more harder. If there is anything that you feel should/could be changed or added please tell me and everyone and we can decide on it, rather than just saying that it's not very good, as this isn't helpful. Discussions should be placed here. But whilst im here I have deicided to replace the Metal Gear Picture on the main page with "Metal Gear Universe" and within that a list of the games, main characters and alike. Please say whether you like that or something else instead, cheers - Selo 13:26, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Good comments
Having just found this MG wiki I would just like to say.......Finally a good wiki dedicated to one game, that doesnt steal articles from anywhere else. -- 70.101.126.172 01:08, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Hey I just read through the timeline and it's amazingly acurate, but I recall that in the game Big Boss says he met Frank Jaegar a few years before Operation Snake Eater and you have the event listed after the operation: 1966:

Date unknown: Big Boss encounters Frank Jaeger in Mozambique.

Wikia Gaming footer
I went ahead and added a Wikia Gaming footer to the bottom of the Main Page. We're trying to get Wikia's gaming wikis more linked with each other. It's not mandatory, so you can remove it if you really hate it, but it would be appreciated if you didn't :). You can change the links to point to any other wikia wikis you like or cooperate with.

 * That's cool, It's not in the way or anything, and it seems like a cool idea to have all the gaming Wiki's connected in some way, so I'm all for it. --Fantomas 21:43, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Why?
Why is everything 'ere abbreviated "Metal Gear"? Bassium!

Why do you spell "here" as "'ere" even though it's the same amount of keys you have to press on the keyboard to spell them both? Seriously though, I'm not quite sure what you're getting at here. --Fantomas 10:55, 13 September 2007 (UTC)


 * I concur, I don't really understand what you mean. The reason you see a lot of articles saying Metal Gear is because the first games in the series were called Metal Gear, which is what the games are based around. It was only when the games were moved to 3d were they called Metal Gear Solid, but they still have the Metal Gear prefix, which is what they are Metal Gear games, so just saying Metal Gear is perfectly valid. Also there are the spin off's such as Metal Gear Acid and Ghost Babel, which also use the name. I hope this answers your question - Selo 21:52, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
