The banner for the wiki is outstretched and too big. Shouldn't we replace it or make it smaller? (If nobody wants to, I can make several alternatives.) --Kelt 21:58, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

The banner looks fine to me but I also have my screen set to 1024 by 768 pixels which might have something to do with it. If you feel up to making some news one's and then we can have a vote on which ones people like, that would be great. --Thai420^{Talk to me!} 01:49, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Ah, I see. Well, I've uploaded the same banner in a smaller size with an outline, but I would LOVE to make a nicer, newer one for you. Or perhaps a few. Ironically, I've only played Ratchet and Clank the original game, but I want to expand this wiki and help it out as much as I can. --Kelt 06:10, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

i like this one best that we have now

Help Edit

This wiki has the same problem as the digimon wiki. It needs help. I have all of the console R&C games, and have beaten 3 of them, so I'll be happy to help.--Autobotx1010 02:58, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

I think that the picture for this wiki should be changed. The picture has neither Ratchet or Clank, only the name. This is the Ratchet & Clank Wiki. Has anyone considered doing a walthrough for one of the games? Or start some kind of forums? To get some ideas you can look here I don't mean to sound arrogant or stuck up but this wiki needs alot of work and I'd be glad to help:)

Who wants a protopet???? i eat skreeducks.Also, I could do a walkthrough for R&C 3? I only need 2 more skill points(I know what to do for them) and the skill master trophy.....so, I could do one. Yeah. Maybe.--PhoenixL 12:56 30 December 2007 (UTC)

To anon post, not Phoenixlord: Firstly please sign your posts (4 tidals or ~) and secondly this is not the palce to ask these questions. Pelase ask them in the forums or talk to someone on their talk page and see if they can help you. _Hunterj ^{Hunterj's Resort--I'm Watching Vandals!} 17:19, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

I want to piont something out. that the games arent "Ratchet and Clank" they are "Ratchet & Clank" so please if any articles use "Rachet and Clank" for the game name please fix the Alphaclaw11thank you in advance.

Please use 4 tidals (~) instead of the template for your sig, or use the template for your sig and 5 tidals so that a time stamps is left with your sig. _Hunterj ^{Hunterj's Resort--I'm Watching Vandals!} 17:19, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Main Page protection Edit

Hullo there! I'm Kirkburn, a Wikia Gaming Helper, and I've just reduced the protection of the Main Page to registered users only.

Wikia's protection policy advises that pages only be protected if they are the target of vandalism - otherwise full protection can cause more damage through neglect than vandalism would have otherwise done. Restricting it to registered users should really be enough. I hope this is not a problem! Kirkburn (talk) 18:10, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the suggestion, this wiki often is vandalsied however and some admins are not active enough to revert, therefore it is better to keep the page protected, thanks for your suggestions however! _Hunterj ^{Hunterj's Resort--I'm Watching Vandals!} 17:19, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Has anyone else thought about this... Edit

You know what bugs me. I'm living in a PEGI area(Finland) and here PS2 Ratchets are rated 3+(which is quite stupid, I think ESRB has better rating). I LOOOVE Ratchet & Clank but it really bugs me when people seem to look me like a wuss. I don't care about it THAT much, but still! This is a talk page, right? Sorry, if I'm lost, but I just had to say this. To anyone who visits this page: PLAY THE GAMES BEFORE YOU JUDGE 'EM! They are not always THAT childish or raw that YOU think. Although, even if there are people that agree with me, there are also people who have different opinions. Still, whoever is reading this, play the games you want to play! Not the games you're told to play to be "cool"! FinnFox 15:23, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Please post comments like this in the forum or on user talk pages not on article or main page talk pages, thanks. Also the lower the rating ther better for the company (usually) as it opens up the market, the age rating is merely stopping people from under a certain age from playing games that feature inapropriate content. _Hunterj ^{Hunterj's Resort--I'm Watching Vandals!} 17:19, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

WE DON'T NEED THOSE Edit

I have something to report. This Wikia has tons of stupid, incorrect articles. Some of them have no relations with the R&C universe. You need to fix this problem, or your Wikia will be a complete disaster. 83.131.64.30 15:23, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for you input however these articles are being removed as they are seen, if users could please contact admins telling them about the pages instead of just blanking them it would be appreciated. It is important to remember that this wiki is growing and there will be problems in any wiki. _Hunterj ^{Hunterj's Resort--I'm Watching Vandals!} 17:19, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

4 parts Edit

I've beaten R&C1,2,3,Deadlocked,but I haven't beaten newest parts.RA OS 1996 12:21, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Pelase leave this type of comment to the forums or user talk pages, thanks _Hunterj ^{Hunterj's Resort--I'm Watching Vandals!} 17:19, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

The name Edit

I think "Main Page" is better than "Ratchet & Clank Wiki". KrazyKat^{KrazyKat's Spaceport} 23:30, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

• Ratchet & Clank wiki boosts our google rankings, and is more relevant apparantly. _Hunterj ^{Hunterj's Resort} 23:54, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

• Are you sure..... KrazyKat^{KrazyKat's Spaceport} 00:03, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
  • Um... Why would he be lying about that? And yes, I can confirm it does boost Google rankings. — supergeeky1 \m/ ^{(Talk Page)} 00:15, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

• D***! :P KrazyKat^{KrazyKat's Spaceport} 01:29, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

No swearing allowed. HiQu^{Talk to me!--I'm Watching Vandals} 14:15, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

• Ratchet & Clank wiki:Main Page is a good compromise, why don't we use that?--Technobliterator 18:39, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
  • Yeah, but there is no need for a Main Page in the name. It's fine as it is. TIGERNOSE ^{(Headquarters|Products|Apartment)}</noinclude> 18:41, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

• It's pretty clear it's the main page. _Hunterj ^{Hunterj's Resort} 19:51, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Did you know...Edit

It's not being updated, and I think that space could perhaps be used for a featured image? Just a thought. _Hunterj ^{Hunterj's Resort} 20:34, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

• Or maybe not, I do like the Did you Know section as we can use it to promote strange articles. I'm not sure if there'd be room for a featured image otherwise though, and I thought it'd be a good idea. That's all. _Hunterj ^{Hunterj's Resort} 20:35, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
• It's either one. I'm happy with any of them, but not both at the same time on the main page. иιƒкч? 00:10, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

• Should administrators update it monthly from now on? HiQu^{Talk to me!} 14:37, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

• Well, anyone can update it at almost any time. So update it whenever you think of a good fact to type up. _Hunterj ^{Hunterj's Resort} 18:14, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

• Yes, but I mean like should administrators start a project where all of them update it monthly. Ofcourse normal users can also update... HiQu^{Talk to me!} 18:24, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

• I'd prefer a monthly update. It hasn't been updated in a while. Possibly both administrators and users. иιƒкч? 02:29, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
• I was able to add something new to the Did you know. But I do think we should update that section and that talk phase thingR&CFOREVER 21:50, November 19, 2011 (UTC)R&CFOREVER

---

• I think we should archive all that stuff above. HiQu^{Talk to me!} 14:39, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
• Just a thought. If you wanted to do this you caould always half the size(width) of either the 'featured article' section or 'Did You Know' section, giving you room for the 'Featured Image.'

SkinEdit

Should we change the skin of the boxes in the main page to more wikipedia like when we reach the big wikis status? HiQu^{Talk to me!} 14:39, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

• What do you mean like Wikipedia. To be honest, it uses the elements of the type of main page placeholders when you first get a wiki now, but just a little different colours and sorting it would be good. But I'm fine with the current one, but wouldn't mind a new look. иιƒкч? 09:11, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

• I hope to do a revamp soon, and then I'll propose it to the community. _Hunterj ^{Hunterj's Resort} 20:12, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

I have an idea!Edit

We should do a poll on this page as to which game was the best, the overall winning game by the end of the month or so shall have it mentioned on that games' page (something like: Many gamers believe this to be the best in the series) just a thought.--Technobliterator 18:26, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

• Maybe, that would probably be better at the Community Portal. _Hunterj ^{Hunterj's Resort} 16:44, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

• I agree with Hunterj, this type of stuff might be more better there as it's more community based opinion, not really like featured articles where an article is good is selected whilst this is more when the community says, 'yes, this game is good', rather more like showcasing users opinions of the game than actually the opinion of the game article itself. How my explanation isn't too confusing. :) // Nifky° 10:47, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

RedesignEdit

I think it'd be good to redisgn the main page a little, make all of the headings the same, maybe use an image for some sort of skin like design for them. And make the section smaller. Any other changes we'd want? _Hunterj ^{Hunterj's Resort} 16:44, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

• Like the aspect of the Call of Duty wiki? I wouldn't mind what Hunterj said. I have no idea of what other changes I'd want; I'm sure that the community would want some as well. I think we do need a colour scheme on the main page, i.e. same coloured headings, like the wiki I linked to above. Though this means we're not actually copying them (many wikis have that anyway), I'm just outlining the wiki's main page as a type of example that we might have ideas from for a revamp of our wiki's main page. I'm happy for other opinions below. // Nifky° 10:47, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

• I guess so, yes. _Hunterj ^{Hunterj's Resort} 12:26, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Articles in past tense? Edit

Okay, why is nearly every article written in the past tense? (I.E. "Space exploration was", "The Hydra Tank was", "The Great Clock was", and so forth...) 64.83.224.94 12:41, October 13, 2009 (UTC)

Because it's in-universe content. Ratchet isn't doing it now. HiQu^{Talk to me!} 15:07, October 13, 2009 (UTC)

What about if someone's playing a new file for the first game? 64.83.224.94 21:49, October 13, 2009 (UTC)

• As the game's already been released, the plot that follows the game is in past tense because it's 'in-universe', but say if you're talking about a voice actor in Ratchet & Clank, it will be in present tense because it isn't part of the plotline, and is considered a 'real-world' article because it is about a living person and the things they did are still current. I hope this clears up the confusion. // Nifky° 12:38, October 14, 2009 (UTC)

I still don't get it. 64.83.224.94 03:01, October 23, 2009 (UTC)

• Anything that is in-universe (appears in the game), is past tense like a story. Anything that is real life is present tense, because it is real life. TIGERNOSE ^{(Headquarters|Products|Apartment)}</noinclude> 16:28, October 23, 2009 (UTC)

• It's basically what Tigernose has said. We are documenting the universe based on what has happened in the games. So articles are in the past tense excluding real world articles on things like Insomniac Games. _Hunterj ^{Hunterj's Resort} 22:37, October 24, 2009 (UTC)

• Just for informative purposes, Walkthroughs are in present tense, i.e. I am going to walk. // Nifky° 03:29, October 25, 2009 (UTC)

This wiki's lucky to use past tence. I think the articles in the KH wiki should use past tence when refering to Deep Jungle, due to it's foreced retirement after only one game, y'know. UxieLover1994 08:25, July 23, 2010 (UTC)

Excessive Trivial Articles? Edit

I've been looking around and I'm seeing a lot of extremely trivial articles as of late including requests for even more like some Apogee Recycling System that would be 100% fanon. I think the admins might wanna clean this place up and purge the unnecessary articles. But that's only my opinion. —Unsigned comment at 22:14, 28 November 2009 (UTC) by 98.250.105.83 (talk • contribs).

• On what page did you see the 'Apogee Recycling System'? // Nifky° 09:47, November 30, 2009 (UTC)

It's one of those armor pages. I believe its true. It has a source next to it. HiQu^{Talk to me!} 15:30, November 30, 2009 (UTC)

Apogee recycling system is true, in fact I wanted to make a page about it, but I decided against it. TIGERNOSE ^{(Headquarters|Products|Apartment)}</noinclude> 22:06, November 30, 2009 (UTC)

• yes it is true, although it doesn't deserve a page as we know basically nothing about it. Just that it's used in armor. _Hunterj ^{Hunterj's Resort} 13:35, December 6, 2009 (UTC)

help??xD Edit

Can anyone tell me how I can get the hypershot in Ratchet and clank 3 Up your arsenal?? I'm now on a mission on Tyhrranosis and I need him. But I don't know how to get it. I know I should get him from helga but when is that??

I tried averything but nothing works, I played the game before but I can't remember it.

greetings Janinka

This isn't the best place to ask it, and putting your email here just makes you more liable to spam. If you want an answer, post a new one here at the question board. // Nifky° 10:21, January 15, 2010 (UTC)

April Fools joke Edit

Ooh, yay. I came to Blargipedia in a different language with Mudkipz! Perfect, Nifky... HaYdOs271^{Chat to me! ???} 11:31, April 1, 2010 (UTC)

Banner Edit

Hi. I am currently working on a banner for the Jak and Daxter Wiki and I am wondering were the main picture for your banner came from. I know it is from 'A Crack in Time' but I am looking for a website with pictures like these for Jak and Daxter. Thankyou for your time. Will94 21:47, June 3, 2010 (UTC)

Hey! The creator of the banner for our website was created by Supergeeky1 and you should ask him for any enquires by messaging him on his talk page. Thanks for taking an interest! --Tigernose • Chat • Edits 22:59, June 3, 2010 (UTC)

Heroes on the Move Wiki Edit

Hi all at the Ratchet and Clank Wiki. As most of you will know, at E3 Sony released news of an upcoming game featuring our favourite heroes. Its' working title is 'Heroes on the Move'. Light Daxterand I are currently underway on a wiki for 'Heroes on the Move' and input would be greatly appreciated. You can find the wiki here Thankyou for your time, Will94 12:47, June 17, 2010 (UTC) Any inquiries please ask on my talk page on the HOTM Wiki.

Ratchet & Clank seriesEdit

I think that Heroes on the move should get out of that list, 'cause It's not really Ratchet & Clank series game. Yeah, It has Ratchet and Clank, but also Jak, Sly and Bentley. And All 4 One should be added. Commando reko 17:32, August 19, 2010 (UTC)

Wiki RequestEdit

I am an admin of the Spyro wiki, and i was wondering if this wiki can become friends with it. Is that okay? UxieLover1994 08:25, July 23, 2010 (UTC)

Well a request has already been made here and it has nearly passed. If you want to become friends, just vote for it! --Tigernose • Chat • Edits 22:32, July 23, 2010 (UTC)

E3 2011 Edit

Isn't there anything new from Ratchet and Clank at the E3? However, I hope All4one was not the end of the series.°Aizen°^(Dissi) 16:37, June 14, 2011 (UTC)

I don't think so. If they did they would be infamously know for the gaming series with the biggest plot holes. If Nintendo can keep Mario games selling, so can Insomniac.

weapon contest Edit

Hey guys, I've got a question. I've seen that there was a skin contest for All4one and I wanted to ask if there will be a weapon contest for All4one?? I hope so because I've got so good weapon ideas. (Sorry, if this is a silly question, I'm German and I'm not so good informed like you are.)°Aizen°^(Dissi) 23:19, September 1, 2011 (UTC)

Unfortunately there wasn't a weapon contest only a skin design one. --Tigernose • Chat • Edits 16:48, September 19, 2011 (UTC)

Update Edit

The home page really seems like it needs to be updated. The featured quote and page have been there for a while now, and the featured user of the month is going to become more like "the featured user of the year" soon. The only other thing besides those that I can think of are the Did You Knows. This wiki's home page seems to never get updated compared to other wikis. Ruzzss 23:22, December 12, 2011 (UTC)
