It says Alex comes back for Jenna Twice and I think both games also have Chests that have 777 coins76.115.102.113 03:37, February 20, 2010 (UTC)

Can I add that if it wasn't for items the only Psynergy that Garet could learn in the feild is move? Also that it is impossible to mind read Kraden, yet if you cast halt on him during the waiting period on your ship in Lemuria, he still flashes will talking as if under halt's power?

I dunno about the Garet Psynergy thing because he can get a lot of other Psynergy useable in the field just by changing classes, like getting Ply series, Wish series, Cure Poison, and Avoid when he has Mercury Djinn Set onto him. Jenna starts out with zero useable field Psynergy until later when she must learn Blaze, and when her normal class progression gives her the Aura series. All those variables make Garet's case somewhat unremarkable.

The Kraden thing is more interesting though, because when at Lemuria, what he says when talked to while "Halted" is "..." rather than the first word of his normal sentence, which is strange and not like all the other NPCs in the game. I'll add that one instead. Erik Jensen ^{(Appreciate me here!)} 23:01, June 11, 2010 (UTC)

Ok, apology in advance, but I always link to a working example when I have one. :) WiKirby's DYK template code allows the statements to shuffle on their own. Admins only have to add the new statements. There's some parser functions involved, but the MediaWiki installation is really painless for it. Well I wasn't sure if you guys knew of this, or not, but if you want to copy it from WiKirby to here, we're fine with that. Axiomist 18:31, 18 December 2010 (CST)

It's hard to tell what exactly's going to improve here when that's installed... For the foreseeable future, it might actually be preferable if non-admins are allowed to update the content in the DYK template, because they're probably the ones in the best position to put in DYK items that appeal to general readers, at least for a wiki about a series whose big new game is newly released.

Of course, the page can be protected or not protected how ever you like. The code in the page I linked allows you to set how many statements will be displayed and how often they rotate. In WK's case, 3 statements at a time rotated daily. The reason I thought you might want it, is so that no one has to manually change the displayed trivia statements.Axiomist 09:46, 20 December 2010 (CST)

Well, okay, I guess that can be installed. Erik the Appreciator 11:29, 20 December 2010 (CST)

Wait.. so.. what happened to this? should I install it? (won't be right now but maybe tomorrow night)~ dkpat 01:34, 1 February 2011 (CST)

Yeah, considering that it can be controlled like Axiomist said. Erik the Appreciator 01:50, 1 February 2011 (CST)

Well, I have to say.. ouch... lol, that confused the crap out of me for a bit. But I got it working now! I'll make a quick little documentation quip on how to add new Trivia ~ dkpat 21:04, 1 February 2011 (CST)

Yeah, that'll be useful, because I don't know how to add the trivia I'd like to add right now... Erik the Appreciator 02:46, 25 February 2011 (CST)
