Talk:Miiverse (social network)

Can we have a list of screenshots of the day, with links to the posts, the screenshot featured and Sakurai's comment? SeanWheeler (talk) 16:20, 23 February 2014 (EST)

We should have a archive like we did for the Dojo. The question is though, who's gonna make it and get those months of posts up? Omega Tyrant 17:29, 23 February 2014 (EST)

Time for an absurdly basic layout design then.

• Feb 21 [1]:Pic of the day. Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is out now in Europe and North America! ...And to celebrate, Diddy Kong joins the battle!!
  

  We've increased Diddy Kong's flexibility this time. This picture shows how far his punches stretch during his strong side attack.

We really need to settle on any layout that presents the info neatly before any work can be done. MegaTron1XD 17:52, 23 February 2014 (EST)

Last night, I went a ahead and started, but didn't save. Here's what the format looked like but with the current screenshot.

February 21, 2014		Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is out now in Europe and North America! ...And to celebrate, Diddy Kong joins the battle!!	[2]

I didn't get up to the current screenshot. I started from June. I didn't upload the missing screenshots, I just left the image blank when I couldn't find the screenshot here. How did I get the comments from June? Well, there is a fansite with all the pics of the day. But there is no link to Sakurai's original post. So when we find the link, we can check Sakurai's original post and correct what the fansite said. SeanWheeler (talk) 09:44, 24 February 2014 (EST)

• Here is a site with all the pics (with dates and comments). 84.26.240.80 13:28, 24 February 2014 (EST)

It's better to have links than just a bunch of pics, especially when finding the images are the easiest thing to do as a lot of Google search results will show you. Anyway, I can get the proper links to his posts and his original comment if necessary as long as the design presented is agreed on to be ideal. MegaTron1XD 19:56, 24 February 2014 (EST)

That is a site that seems more credible than the miiverse fansite that I found, since the pic included Sakurai's comment instead of being just a caption. But as Tron suggested, we need the links. I wanted the links to help with references on another site. And it's so hard to find Sakurai's comment of each pics because, since I don't have a Wii U, Miiverse access is so limited. I can't sign up without a Wii U. If someone has a Wii U and has an easier time posting the links, be my guest. SeanWheeler (talk) 20:43, 24 February 2014 (EST)

As a 3DS owner, I can easily browse through Miiverse on my computer and get links to individual posts as necessary, and I assume there are others who could do the same. We still need to decide on a consistent format first, though. Miles (talk) 20:47, 24 February 2014 (EST)

I like the table format, though the sortableness is unnecessary (there's no reasonable sort outside chronological, which would be default), and it might be tricky to add supplementary posts (such as the Mario Galaxy reveal, which had two posts and two pictures). Maybe we could also have a yes/no column or two that denotes "was something new revealed here". I'm going to see if I can put together a template to make things easier.

Okay I have the template done up with a demo here. I'm thinking we can do something like bold or colour date cells where something new is revealed. Maybe even have a different colour for different types of reveals, but that's probably a bit much. Toomai Glittershine The Multifaceted 22:59, 24 February 2014 (EST)

Looks solid to me. I think color-coding might be excessive, but bold for new characters or other major announcements might be appropriate. Miles (talk) 23:14, 24 February 2014 (EST)

I sure hope you can get all the way back to June. I'll be watching you're Miiverse list. SeanWheeler (talk) 09:48, 25 February 2014 (EST)

Now that things look good, what'll the page be called? I'm thinking "List of Director's Room Miiverse posts" or something, with something like "(July-December 2013)" stuck on the end if multiple pages are necessary. Toomai Glittershine The Yellow 23:49, 25 February 2014 (EST)
