Forum:Harvest Moon 64 (Discussion and Changes)

Hello everybody! I thought I'd put this here in the forum so that everybody can view it, rather then putting it on a talk page. I propose that other users please help me with suggestions and feedback (and possible help) with fixing the Harvest Moon 64 section of the Wiki.

The Problem...
I've noticed that the Harvest Moon 64 part of the wiki has been well put together, but it is unfortunately very dated. I would like to take on the task of fixing the entire game's information and format. It doesn't match the current format and style of the wiki. I propose going in and changing pages, which I will be happy to do. I'm looking to fix paticuarly the character boxs and the navigation boxes. The rest of the wiki all has very similar looking nav boxes and character boxes, so I feel that HM64 should match. I've fixed Karen's page to something more modern. Let me know how it compares to one of the older pages.

Goals

 * Fix all navigation boxes for all pages, including characters, items, and tools. I also want to fix character boxes if possible so that it fits the current style.
 * Organize categories, fix broken links, and delete unused templates. Each small photo on the character nav box as seen here is actually a template. Feedback is appreciated on if we clean up the wiki by deleting these templates, or if we just delete them off the page, but keep them on the wiki elsewhere for future use.
 * Add information if possible. I will search on gamefaqs and other sources, as Harvest Moon 64 is one of the games I have not yet played. Some of the pages are very bare and lack information. If there is no information for the pages, they should be marked with a stub tag so that we know that no new information can be added.
 * Update the style so it fits the current format. This should come naturally with all of the other editing that will take place.

Other
While doing some editing, I came across some pages, categories and discussions that I'd like to add.

The Harvest Moon Wiki:HM64 < This was a project/discussion page on what the previous editors had done and what they were hoping to achieve. I also propose deleting this page at some point, as it's dated and our changes will be much different.

Sandbox < Here's a quick look at all of the old templates and formatting. This user created all of these templates. Please leave feedback if there is anything you feel should be incorporated onto the new pages.

The Harvest Moon Wiki:HM64/To Do < A list of pages for quick reference that are NOT characters. If anybody has any information on HM64, please make pages for the links in red in the new format. If there is any page you'd like to fix, please click on the link to go to to the page. I propose this page be deleted after everything is finished, but for now it is a great reference. The previous editors were so close to finishing their goals, let's finish it for them! :)

HM64 Templates < This is a list of all the individual templates. As you can see, somebody put a lot of work into making these templates at some point. It's created very complicated coding on the pages. My question to all of you is do we get rid of these templates and the template page after changes are made? Would it be easier to save all of these templates as photos instead, and reupload them if needed?

In Closing...
That's it for now! I just wanted to create a bit of discussion if anybody is interested, so thanks. I think it will look much better once it's completed, and any help would be appreciated.
