Planning to work on this during the summer...

Hey everyone.

Since I know a lot of things about the Snowboard Kids series of games, I was thinking of maybe making some major contributions to the Snowboard Kids Wiki on Wikia, such as giving well-written descriptions on all the characters and their stats (plus the SBK: Snowboard Kids counterparts for Slash, Nancy, Jam, and Tommy), uploading .PNG renders of the characters, providing in-depth information about the games, and so forth.

It's going to be a lengthy project, but hopefully everything on the Wiki will look more organized than it is now. After all, I do know a lot of how Wikis work.

I'll see what I can do to contribute to the Wikia.

This is the only Wiki available for the Snowboard Kids series, right? Not counting Wikipedia.

Blue Bolt · May 23, 2011#32011-05-23T19:54

Sure, that'd be great!

I might as well go make a logo for it, also.

It'd look pretty much the same as the SBKW logo, but different color maybe.

Any color suggestions are welcome. ÂÂ

Don't forget to make sure we're linked on it as well, we want to have everyone who's curious about the series, or a fan of it to be able to find us here! (I can't check it from here, currently at work.)

But if you need any information on parts of the series too, you're more than welcome to ask me as well! I'm quite a rich resource of the games too!

Oh, that's the one I made a long time ago, isn't it? I kinda forgot about it.

enigmaopoeia · May 24, 2011#62011-05-24T00:19

^ I thought it was that Wiki, but I wasn't too sure at first.

I can try to work on the graphics, at least. If this is acceptable, I can work on the others.

I think adding the costumes to the Wiki is a great idea, Eniggy!

Perhaps you could add the costumes from Plus as well?

enigmaopoeia · May 24, 2011#82011-05-24T01:54

Thanks, nicole! I believe Sarahsuke already got some nice quality pics of all of the costumes in Snowboard Kids Plus.

Yes, but since they were ripped so long ago, some of the links have expired.

Superjustinbros · May 24, 2011#102011-05-24T10:16

Well we'll be accepting any kind of help we can get.

As for the main character images, I was thinking of extracting renders of the characters from the manuals (similar to what was done on the SBKW banner) for the SBK/SBK+/SBK2 artwork. I have renders of the six main characters from SBK: Snowboard Kids already uploaded to the Wiki, but the current image of Slash I previously uploaded has some scanning issues (easily visible on the nose).

Plus, the image rips that enigmaopoeia provided and the possible wiki logo by Blue Bolt would be great, to be honest.

enigmaopoeia · May 24, 2011#112011-05-24T12:53

Alrighty, I'll get to work on the images when I have some free time.

Sarahsuke · May 24, 2011#122011-05-24T17:03

If you need any site-related help, you could ask me.

enigmaopoeia · May 24, 2011#132011-05-24T22:31

When I tried to update the images, I keep receiving this message, "File extension does not match MIME type." I don't know how to bypass this. I am uploading PNG files that are less than 50KB.

Make sure that when you upload a file, the file name in MediaWiki has an extension also. There are two file names. The name of the file being uploaded and the one MW will reference it by. It's this second one, the one that can be defined in the text box, that must have an extension.

enigmaopoeia · May 25, 2011#152011-05-25T00:42

Thanks, Sarahsuke, I had to upload it as new files.

I have updated Nancy's page, but I am not going to mess around with the information and stuff. So please feel free to edit that.

EDIT:
I was messing around with a layout for the courses and I decided to start with Linda's Castle @ http://sbk.wikia.com/wiki/Linda%27s_Castle

Superjustinbros · May 27, 2011#162011-05-27T13:48

Got some renders of classic Slash up.

enigmaopoeia · May 27, 2011#172011-05-27T14:16

Slash's profile looks great! He'll be a great standard base for the other profiles to follow up on. I was thinking of actually listing down the stars on his profile instead of using "Balanced", "Fair", et al.

May 27, 2011#182011-05-27T22:21

I was surfin' on the internet and I came across this: http://s7.invisionfree.com/SnowboWorld/ar/t515.htm

So there's most of the costumes from Snowboard Kids Plus.

Well, I just thought that process of listing the stats numerically would make the Wiki less encyclopedic than to list them as (worst to best) Horrible, Bad, Fair, Balanced, Good, Great, and Excellent.
