Bug update
The archetype navboxes still don't seem to be working right. I thought all of that was fixed. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 23:47, April 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * Guess those Admins are little lazy. -- F  r  e  d  C  a  t  23:49, April 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * I certainly am, but I can't speak for the other admins... ;) Cheesedude, can you provide links to archetype navboxes that are still not displaying correctly, and specify how they should be displaying? Without examples and knowing exactly what's wrong, I may not be able to fix them. 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 05:24, April 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * See Yokai Monster It's displaying members that appears in the TCG and support cards from the manga. Manga-only monsters are not displaying for whatever reason. Also, the navbox at Blackwing is missing massive amounts of cards in all three subsections. I don't know of any others off-hand, but I'm sure there are some. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 05:49, April 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * I've tried applying some fixes to ArchetypeNavbox and assorted concepts, but SMW's behavior seems to have changed in several ways in the most recent update, and I was never really familiar with it in the first place. If my changes don't fix the missing cards, you'll probably have to ask Deltaneos to have a look. 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 06:52, April 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * I hate to say this, but whatever you did appears to have removed the manga support cards from the Yokai Monster navbox. I'll contact Deltaneos, then. Thanks. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 15:12, April 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * Heh, I have to admit, that's awesome. =D Here's hoping Delt can fix/has fixed it. ;) 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 17:14, April 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * Apparently the problem is that redirects are no longer accepted for the navboxes. Since some archetype pages were moved, this mucked it up. I actually sort of forgot about moving the rest of the archetype pages, but now I'm glad I did, since there's cleanup to be done, which would be easier with a bot's help *hinthint* Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 01:46, April 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I'm horribly inconsistent in running my bot. ;) The problem is, I add rules for it to fix issues as I come across them, and I have the problem of trying to add rules that are beyond my capabilities at the time, so I stop with the intention to revisit them later, and it never happens. The most recent thing responsible for this is an attempt to auto-add the animanga appearances templates; I suspect there's a bug in AWB's regex handling but I'm dragging my feet about reporting/asking about it. =D
 * In any case, if you give me a list, I can make a bot run specifically to update archetypes (and the more I can do at once, the better *hinthint* ). 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 02:15, April 6, 2011 (UTC)

Done. All pages that are still at plurals are because their singular forms have actual pages, or because I thought the plural form made more sense in that case (Six Attributes, for example]]). Hopefully I didn't miss any. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 00:57, April 15, 2011 (UTC)

Blank kanji parameter tracking?
Is there a way to create a tracking category for card pages that have a "kanji" parameter that is blank? There are several pages like that I created, and was unable to find the kanji anywhere. I didn't feel like sitting there and finding each individual character from another card page, so I left them blank. I'd like to be able to request that someone add the kanji in, but I'd like to do it all at once. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 01:08, June 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yeah, that's easy enough to do. I've actually been thinking for a while about adding a tracking category for cards that don't have any Japanese name given at all; I think we'd be best with tracking categories for no Japanese name, blank "kanji", "kana", "jpname", and "phon" parameters, and a Japanese name but no romaji name (romaji name without Japanese name should be covered by the first one, I think). 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 06:03, June 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * In addition to the name, can we have a tracking category for "japlore" as well? Blackwings0605 (talk) 06:39, June 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes, definitely; that's one thing I've been intending to do for quite some time. I've never liked the parameter name, and intend to replace all instances of it with "jplore" (if no one beats me to it) and then remove it from CardTable2. 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 07:23, June 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes. "jplore" is definitely make more sense than the "japlore". Blackwings0605 (talk) 07:40, June 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * That, and I've never liked the abbreviation "jap" for "Japan[ese]", considering it was an (albeit mild) derogatory term used during WWII (AFAIK; that's how it's always seemed to me, at least). 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 07:45, June 9, 2011 (UTC)

Another tracking parameter question
Would it be possible to create one that lists pages that use any of the anime/manga appearances templates, but that do not have an associated Card Appearances page? Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 00:37, June 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * Not currently (it is possible, but would first require a modification to Card table anime and manga appearances). On the other hand, it *would* be trivial to do the same check for the anime/manga appearances parameters, though. 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 05:34, June 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * Would changing the template mean having to change it on every page again? As for the parameters themselves, that doesn't particularly help me, to be honest. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 05:57, June 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * No, it would just be adding an invisible bit to the output (some class name or something; I'll have to do a bit of thinking on what the best thing to add would be) that CardTable2 can then check for. I'll probably do this anyways, just so we can track pages with appearances parameters that don't use the templates yet. 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 06:01, June 18, 2011 (UTC)

Weird question
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's - Episode 046 is using slanted quotations. I've tried copying the text and using find and replace in Word, Wordpad and Notepad. None of them work. Know of any way to get them to use regular quotations without changing each one individually? Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 01:08, November 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * Notepad's Find-and-Replace function works fine for me on Windows 7... Maybe it has issues with extended Unicode on earlier MS systems?
 * You should be able to use Notepad++ to do the replaces if nothing else works for you. If you know how to use regexes and are willing to try that route, the opening curly double-quote can be matched via, and the closing one via   (you can match the curly single quotes via   and  ). I will add all these replaces to the rules on my bot, so that whenever I run it again it'll correct that stuff. ;) 「 ディノ 奴  千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 01:53, November 1, 2011 (UTC)

5D's manga archetypes
Take a look at the lores for "Great Gallant Demonic Angel, Rosalian" and "Prayer to the Evil Spirits". It seems we have some undocumented archetypes here. I'm going to see if I can locate some cards images for them tomorrow to help clarify. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 05:31, December 5, 2011 (UTC)

 * Unfortunately, I've not been able to locate any images at all of either card. Maybe we can ask III or Blackwings if they have the jplore for them? Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 16:46, December 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * It wouldn't hurt to try... =) 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 16:49, December 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * Looking through "Rosalien"'s history, I came across "The Rose Bell of Revelation", with a nice, crisp(ish) Japanese card image complete with lore; this should cover our needs for "Queen Angel" and "Fallen Angel", but we still need an image of "Prayer" for the "Angel" parent group. We've also got to worry about how to disambiguate "Fallen Angel" from "Darklord", since apparently "Darklord"'s Japanese name translates to "Fallen Angel" as well (and Fallen Angel currently redirects to it). 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 17:08, December 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * Nice. We should just be able to use "Fallen Angel" as a page name and add disambiguation text for "Darklord" at the top. It's also highly likely that the English manga will change the name altogether, in which case, we can make "Fallen Angel" a disambiguation page for both archetypes. Just to be sure, the "Rose Bell" card doesn't have the text that means "Darklord" on it, right? They are separate archetypes? Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 17:12, December 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * That's what I was thinking; I just like making stuff complicated. =D
 * Right, "Rose Bell" has "魔天使" (plus some furigana I can't read reliably enough to transcribe), and "Darklord" is "", though the last two kanji are identical (they're also the same for "Queen Angel", interestingly enough, leading me to believe that's what "Angel" will turn out to use on "Prayer"). 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 17:18, December 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * I should have known.
 * Ok then. And yeah, it sounds like that it what it will use. Curious to see what else will end up being part of that archetype, intentionally or not. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 17:20, December 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * A lot, probably, "天使" seems to be the most common Japanese translation for "angel". I love unintentionally generic archetypes... =D 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 17:34, December 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * That's what I feared. This should be interesting though. I think the funniest unintentional member I've seen so far is "Thought Ruler Archfiend", which is technically in the "Sphere" archetype. Or maybe "The Legendary Fisherman" in "Shaman". Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 17:38, December 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * Ooh, ooh, there's also "Elemental HERO Necroid Shaman" in "Roid". =D 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 17:47, December 5, 2011 (UTC)

(outdent) So, "Rose Bell" appears in chapter 12, which is, conveniently enough, the chapter that should be in the next issue of SJ.

 * "Rosalin" is being released in Premium Pack 14 (among many other cards I assumed would never see the light of the day). They'll likely change the effect, but we'll see. It may help solve our problems. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 16:25, December 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * Very cool, this is certainly unexpected. It'll be interesting to see how long it takes these cards to make it to the TCG. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 16:39, December 7, 2011 (UTC)

So, Shonen Jump just got here (...yesterday; I've been reading Inheritance), and it seems the translators went with a cop-out: "Rose Bell"'s English lore reads "From your Deck, add either Queen Angel of Roses or Fallen Angel of Roses to your hand." Still, at least this confirms the English archetype names.

I don't really have the time to update the other cards from chapter 12; all of them look to be named correctly except for "Blessed Cards of Grass", which should be "Cards from the Blessed Grass", and "Magic Elf Burgundy", which should be "Burgundy the Magic Elf". 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 19:03, December 30, 2011 (UTC)

Wikia set up the "mover" user group got added a couple of hours ago. It wasn't easy to set up, so it's not unlikely that there could be a few problems and we should test for them.

I only requested the "mover" group, but I did link to this forum. They might have tried making the other two changes that you suggested there, or they might have just made mistakes that made it look that way. Looking at Special:ListGroupRights, the differences I see are:
 * Bureaucrats can add "mover", "patroller" and "bot".
 * Bureaucrats can remove "mover" and "patroller".
 * Bureaucrats can no longer remove "admin" or "bot".
 * Admins can add "mover", "rollback, "patroller".
 * Admins can remove "mover", "rollback, "patroller".

My comments:
 * Although that mentions patroller, that group doesn't seem to exist. It doesn't have its own section on Special:ListGroupRights and I don't see it on Special:UserRights/Example. But that right wasn't actually requested.
 * Admins and bureaucrats being able to add/remove mover is fine.
 * Admins being able to add rollback, I think is a plus, but that wasn't requested.
 * Bureaucrats being able to add bots I'd say is a plus, but that wasn't requested. I didn't notice bureaucrats were able to remove bots beforehand. I suppose losing that is a minus.
 * Bureaucrats not being able to remove admins, I'd say is a minus. It's something we'd hope isn't needed, but it's good to have it just in case.

Does Special:UserRights/Example do exactly what Special:ListGroupRights says admins should be able to use it for, apart from add/remove patrollers?

I guess the next thing to do is test the movers group on a dummy account. And compile any mistakes there with the unwanted changes mentioned above. The wanted but unrequested changes, I suppose we should let Wikia know about and see if we can get an okay before keeping them. -- Deltaneos (talk) 03:18, March 6, 2012 (UTC)


 * Yeah, everything appears to be in order insofar as admins adding/removing rights is concerned (based solely on what appears on Special:UserRights, and without actually testing).
 * Should we just test the mover group on one of the bot accounts, since those are already set up?
 * Yeah, it'd be better to get confirmation that they're intended rather than just assuming they are and having them taken from us.
 * Would there be any problem with you posting a transcript of the email conversation? It's not really that important, but I'm a bit curious as to what was said. =) 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 03:40, March 6, 2012 (UTC)


 * I guess one of the bots would be a better option since they're already autoconfirmed. I don't know if you can use the additional rights mover has without the basic "move", which non-autoconfirmed users don't have. (Although that would be interesting to check, in which case I have a User:Deltaneos=test left over from Forum:Chat help!.) We should maybe remove the bot flag since bot already has a few of the mover rights. VSTF can still remove bot flags. I don't think anyone would mind if I used that for testing this.
 * I don't see any problem with showing the email transcript for this particular request:

 Could we get a custom user group called "mover", with the following rights: "movefile", "noratelimit" and "suppressredirect" on the Yu-Gi-Oh! wiki (http://yugioh.wikia.com)?

In Yu-Gi-Oh! almost everything is released in Japan first and gets renamed when released in English, rather than use a direct translation. Each card page has a few related pages and images, all of which need to be renamed whenever the card is renamed. When a new set with new cards is released in English, this can mean hundreds of page moves. A lot of non-administrator users are slowed down and unable to finish renaming something without these page move related rights.

We have a forum discussing this here: http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Some_new_usergroups

Thank you.

Hello Deltaneos,

Thanks for contacting Wikia. I have set up the user group "mover" this morning. Please keep in mind that these things are honestly a bit hard to set up, so it's entirely within the realms of possibility that it will need a few more tweaks to get just right. Please test the right out and make sure it does function the way you intended.

 * Which one shall we try with, then, yours or mine?
 * Yeah, that would be interesting to check, though I don't think we'd ever actually make use of it even if it does turn out to work. ;)
 * Aah, interesting. Who was it that replied? 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 16:49, March 6, 2012 (UTC)

 * Actually it turns out Deltaneos=test is autoconfirmed. We can just test with that one. If you want to test yourself, I can still remove Dinobot's bot flag temporarily if you like. -- Deltaneos (talk) 17:21, March 6, 2012 (UTC)


 * Nah, I'm fine just using Deltaneos=test. We both still want to try granting and revoking the usergroup, though, to make sure everyone who should be able to do so, actually can do so, right?
 * I kinda figured that's who it was. =D
 * Have you asked yet about the stuff we got that you didn't ask for? 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 17:28, March 6, 2012 (UTC)

 * Okay, I've granted mover; do you want to try moving a file or something to make sure it works properly before I test revoking? Also, are we just testing mover, or should I test rollback as well? 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 17:39, March 6, 2012 (UTC)


 * Movefile, noratelimit and suppressredirect all work okay and I've no problem revoking or granting the right. Yeah, go ahead test revoking and adding/revoking rollback too. -- Deltaneos (talk) 17:49, March 6, 2012 (UTC)


 * Revoking mover and granting/revoking rollback all appear to work as intended. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 17:56, March 6, 2012 (UTC)


 * (Reset indent) Okay, next step is letting Wikia know about the things that need tweaking. Is this email draft okay?

 Thanks very much for setting up the "mover" usergroup.

We've tested it for problems. Admins and bureaucrats have no problem adding and removing the group from accounts and a user with the "mover" rights is able to do everything that they should.

There were however a few unrequested changes to what groups admins and bureaucrats can change:

• http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Special:ListGroupRights mentions a "patroller" group that admins and bureaucrats can add and remove. However that group doesn't seem to exist. A "patroller" group was mentioned in the forum I linked in the last email, but we didn't actually decide to request that one. Sorry if there was any confusion.

• Admins are now able to add and remove "rollback".

• Bureaucrats are now able to add "bot".

• Bureaucrats are no longer able to remove "bot" or "admin".

All of these changes were unrequested, so should probably be undone. Admins being able to add/remove "rollback" and bureaucrats being able to add "bot", I think are positive changes for this wiki, but since they weren't officially requested I can understand if we can't keep them.

Discussion about the change can be viewed at http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:Dinoguy1000#New_mover_group if needed for whatever reason.

Thank you.

Hey Deltaneos,

Yep, sorry, the group permissions for adding/removing groups are often the hardest to set up because usually it requires some knowledge about the group structure already plus an understanding of all the user groups.

If sysops +/- rollback and bureaucrats adding bots is within your community's best interest, I will gladly keep those rights. We have no issue with that happening. I have in the interim removed references to the 'patroller' group. That was part of the default value of the variable that does not apply obviously for YuGiOh.

 * I don't think all the bugs related to moving files around have been worked out of MediaWiki quite yet; I'd be willing to bet renaming a file and then renaming another file to the first file's original name is one case. In this case, it's because File:John.jpg still showed as having the image history, so MediaWiki prevented you from moving File:Shun.jpg/File:Johnn.jpg over it.

SMW Negating Nomi
Remember the problem where the ! negation in SMW doesn't work as it should in logic? I don't think I've suggested this solution, but it seems somewhat simple. In Template:CardTable2, if  does not contain "Nomi" or "Cannot Special Summon", it will automatically add a "Can Special Summon" (or another name) group. That should allow us to get the lists we want easily, without having to do this, or for most lists, include those and add a note to the top saying it cannot summon those. -Falzar FZ- (talk page|useful stuff) 03:03, March 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * Right, it's the same basic premise as No Entry, but it does require a full understanding of the problem domain, to make sure the value doesn't get added in any circumstances that it shouldn't (in the case of "Chaos-End Master", I don't understand what about its effect necessitates the convoluted query, meaning I don't fully understand the problem domain ;) ). 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 05:53, March 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * Almost the same. This one would allow entries of other things, as long as it isn't those two as well.
 * Currently searching for  will still include Arcanite Magician/Assault Mode (which Chaos-End Master cannot Summon) because it contains Cannot Normal Summon/Cannot Set/Nomi/Special Summons from your Graveyard (things other than Nomi, this is how SMW's ! apparently works)
 * There is one small problem to this though. That would be Semi-Nomi; they can basically be Special Summoned from the Graveyard/Banished Zone, but cannot be Special Summoned from the Deck via other cards. To solve that, the same thing can be done once more, so if it does not contain "Nomi" or "Semi-Nomi" or "Cannot Special Summon", it will be auto added to "Can always Special Summon".
 * So in the end, to create a list for Decoy Dragon, it would then simply be  and a list for Chaos-End Master would be
 * So if you have: (I'll use shorthand instead of summon1, summon 2, etc.)
 * and it will be auto added to "Can Special Summon" and "Can always Special Summon".
 * and it will be auto added to "Can Special Summon" and "Can always Special Summon".
 * and it will be auto added to "Can Special Summon".
 * but  or   both will not be auto added to "Can Special Summon" nor "Can always Special Summon".
 * -Falzar FZ- (talk page|useful stuff) 07:17, March 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * All right, I think part of my confusion arises from the names of the values; it would make more sense if they were "Can be Special Summoned", "Cannot be Set", etc. (if I'm understanding how they're used correctly, at least). Basically, the queries have to filter out monsters whose own effects prevent them from being Special Summoned, right? 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 16:34, March 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * The names I used follow how the current pages are done. Yes, I agree that those names (... be ...) are better.
 * Yes, I think that's it. So:
 * "Can always be Special Summoned" = monsters that don't have restrictions on Special Summoning at all.
 * "Can be Special Summoned" = monsters that are in "Can always be Special Summoned" and also Semi-Nomi.

 * 1) If all |summonN do not contain "Nomi" or "Cannot be Special Summoned". Add.
 * If all |summonN do not contain "Nomi" or "Semi-Nomi" or "Cannot be Special Summoned". Add.

 * Should this apply only to Monster Cards, or is it fine for Spells and Traps to get tagged too?

 * Monsters only, just like how Nomi is monsters only (though Nomi is manually added, so I didn't notice that Summoning applies for Spells/Traps as well). If it's necessary, you can also exclude Tokens, but that can be easily be done through SMW instead.
 * Sure, I also have no reason to not move them. -Falzar FZ- (talk page|useful stuff) 04:23, March 10, 2012 (UTC)

 * -Falzar FZ- (talk page|useful stuff) 02:34, March 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * Oh crap, now I know what's going on (the archetype1 behavior isn't directly related, but it was a clue): the "Summoning Categories" box (along with the "Support", "Anti-Support", "Stat Change", etc. boxes) are all contained in a single CardTable2/row. To allow me to not be as stringent with the code for the individual boxes, this template call has its own "check" parameter, consisting of the first parameter from each card search category. This means that if a card doesn't have any such search categories (as will be the case for many Normal Monsters), the entire row isn't output, which works fine - unless one of the categories has a "checkfail" behavior that needs to apply to all cards, as we have here.
 * Unfortunately, though, there isn't a straightforward solution that I can see (other than duplicating the "checkfail" in the outer /row, which has its own issues); removing the "check" from the /row means that, in cases where a card doesn't have any search categories but still gets properties or something from a "checkfail", the /row is still rendered in the template, but without any content other than the "Card Search Categories" header. I'll go ahead and use the duplication fix for now, but it's definitely a hack and I'll be thinking of possible ways we might be able to get rid of it. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 06:25, March 28, 2012 (UTC)

Evigishki
Evigiski is a sub-archtype of Gishki, as Neo Flamvell is a sub archetype Flamvell, as XX-Saber is a sub-archetype of X-Saber, as The Fabled is a sub-archetype of Fabled, as Genex Ally and R-Genex are sub-archetypes of Genex, so on and so forth. Gishki support supports Evigishkis, they even contain the same Japanese word "Ritua". --> Summoned Skull 2: Electric Boogaloo 04:43, March 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * Gishki support cards only support Gishki cards, they don't support Evigishki cards. The reason Evigishkis are supported by Gishki support cards is because Evigishkis are also Gishkis. This is true for every other case where an archetype has a sub-series, like the other examples you listed. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 04:47, March 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * Sir, I think you just contradicted yourself. --> Summoned Skull 2: Electric Boogaloo 04:49, March 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * No, I didn't. Read the lore of a Gishki support card. Do you see "Evigishki" anywhere there?
 * I've put a lot of thought into just about every aspect related to archetypes and series you might care about over the past few months, and this is one thing I've thought particularly about. If a Gishki support card were to be considered an Evigishki support card as well, we would also have to treat it as support for every individual Gishki card.
 * Archetypes are a game mechanic bolted onto the game long after the basic framework was laid out, and series are a mostly in-house invention to describe groups of cards that aren't archetypes, but are clearly related to each other. In addition, archetypes still don't have a clear, official definition - in official materials, the word "archetype" has been used to describe everything from what we use it for, to Deck types, and then some; the definition we use is very much an in-house construction based on how archetype support cards are known to work. As a result, there are a lot of non-obvious details, and at first glance, some of these details may seem to be self-contradictory - like the idea that a support card supports an archetype but not any sub-archetypes or sub-series. Contradictory though it may sound, it does make sense if you properly understand how our definitions of archetypes and archetype support work (it doesn't help at all, though, that said definition is currently scattered across a number of discussions, spread over a handful of forum threads and user talk pages). 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 05:07, March 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * Dinoguy, calm down please. Evigishki is part of the Gishki archetype as the Japanese name contains "リチュア". Gishki support cards don't need to say "Evigishki" because Gishki is in their name. --> Summoned Skull 2: Electric Boogaloo 05:11, March 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * There was a forum discussion for this somewhere. I think it was concluded the way Dinoguy has said. IIRC, it was about HERO. -Falzar FZ- (talk page|useful stuff) 05:15, March 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * Now I'm wondering if either of you understands what I'm trying to point out. --> Summoned Skull 2: Electric Boogaloo 05:18, March 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * It confused me when it was concluded like that as well at first, but one of the reasons is that if we use SMW to search for Gishki Support (and do not support Evigishki), it won't work. -Falzar FZ- (talk page|useful stuff) 05:31, March 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * But, this isn't about SMW or any of that. I was simply just putting on the Evigishki page that Evigishkis are a sub-archetype of Gishki. Then, this all happened. --> Summoned Skull 2: Electric Boogaloo 05:37, March 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * I am calm. Please don't suggest I'm losing my temper; it's not true and only serves to distract from the topic of discussion.
 * Gishki support cards specifically require cards with the string "リチュア" in their Japanese name. This means they explicitly support the Gishki archetype. They do not, however, mention anything about cards with "イビリチュア" in their Japanese name, meaning support for the Evigishki archetype is only implicit, because "イビリチュア" just happens to contain "リチュア" (in most cases, this is intentional, but there are cases where the only logical conclusion is that it's an accident (that is, when an archetype gained a support card, no one was thinking that sub-archetypes would also be supported by that card); the most obvious is, perhaps, Knight and Gem-Knight). Cheesedude and I decided some time ago that, in cases such as this, archsupport cards should not be tagged as also being archsupport for sub-archetypes or sub-series; this discussion is basically addressing the reverse of that.
 * I understand exactly what you're trying to argue: you see no functional distinction for saying a Gishki support card supports Gishki cards, and that it supports Evigishki cards, and that therefore, the Evigishki archetype is supported by the Gishki support card. You are absolutely, 100% correct in this conclusion, and without a very deep understanding of the various repercussions caused by this interpretation, it is the only reasonable conclusion. I have, however, spent months thinking about this and other issues revolving around archetypes and archsupport, to the point that I'm likely among the most knowledgeable people in existence for how archetypes work. You are more than entitled to ask me to explain myself (in many cases, this forces me to reexamine the issue, which may let me better understand it myself, or even cause me to realize that my own thinking on it is flawed), but when I have explained my reasoning as clearly and succinctly as I can, it no longer does any good to continue challenging me with the same arguments and logic. In this case, I have explained my logic clearly and succinctly; the problem is that the nuances here are subtle enough to be completely missed unless you're willing to take the time to think about them, and it doesn't seem like you are. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 05:41, March 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * Okay, but I'm not asking you to go back to all of the archetype support cards and put that they support sub-archetypes, that would be redundant. I put "sub-archetype" on the Evigishki page so that it would match pages like Neo Flamvell, XX-Saber, and The Fabled. I was by no means trying to undermine the months of work you did. You are over-thinking my edit. I take full responsibility for the misunderstanding I created. --> Summoned Skull 2: Electric Boogaloo 05:48, March 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * All right, after your most recent reply to Falzar, I thought that was your hang-up, but I wasn't sure.
 * The phrases "sub-series" and "sub-archetype", as we use them (e.g. X is a sub-series of Y), mean that X is a series/archetype, and it is contained within Y (which is always an archetype itself; series are not denoted by some string in their Japanese names and therefore can't have sub-series/archetypes in the same sense that archetypes do). This phrase does not actually appear on Neo Flamvell, XX-Saber, or The Fabled, all three of which are themselves series, and all three of which use a more verbose, but much less confusing, wording (one that I think we should start using across-the-board, to prevent future confusion of this type) that makes it clear that they, and not the group they are contained in, are series.
 * Sorry about the wall-of-text comments above, and what must surely have seemed like an increasingly annoyed/irritated attitude; as much as I enjoy thinking about stuff like this (that's why I spend so much time with templates ;) ), the more I think about it in one go - particularly when it has very subtle distinctions as this did - the more brusque I tend to get in discussing it, even when my actual intent remains unchanged. =) 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 06:01, March 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thank you. Once again, I apologize since the misunderstanding was mostly my fault. And hopefully you noticed that I did go change the wording on Evigishki to more closely match the wording on other similar pages. --> Summoned Skull 2: Electric Boogaloo 02:54, March 12, 2012 (UTC)


 * No problem, and I'm certainly partly to blame myself. =) I noticed the change, but didn't actually see you were the one to do it; I usually check pages via email notifications, so I get a bundle of edits in one diff, and normally don't check each individual edit unless there's vandalism or I'm curious about something. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 05:36, March 12, 2012 (UTC)

Two things.

 * I recall you saying at a the second of three forum discussions that the familiars depicted with the "Charmers" and their derivatives count as archrelation. I'm not sold on the idea. Take the Gagagigo (series), for example. He's depicted fighting both "Blazing Inpachi" and "Invader of Darkness" multiple times, fighting with and alongside "Freed the Brave Wanderer" and "Marauding Captain" in multiple other card artworks. "Kozaky" was also also implied to be involved with his transformations. Do all those count as archrelation? Going by the "Charmer" logic, they sort of do, I think. So it's a slippery slope. I propose we just declare all card artwork stuff to NOT be archrelation, including the "Charmer" stuff. The archetype pages can mention that, as can the card trivia.
 * A different issue, see here. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 17:54, March 15, 2012 (UTC)


 * I've never had an understanding of what archrelated is supposed to be, though I have had some idea of what it's not supposed to be; it's still the same now. If you've found a definition that seems to be working well enough, I'd say go ahead and run with it (as you seem to be doing) regardless of my past comments on the issue. =)
 * I've responded there. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 18:09, March 15, 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm currently going with "support cards for members of said archetype/series"), something that is clearly meant to be related (like "Lumenize" to "Photon". Its Japanese name is "Photonize", but does not contain the Japanese text for "Photon") and "stuff that I can't be sure isn't related because I have no knowledge of Duel Terminal storylines). There's also things that are related via anime effects. And stuff like all the "Neo-Spacians" being related to "Neos" and "Elemental HERO" via fusions and "Chrysalis" via them being infant forms. And flavor text, like "Mad Lobster" to "Dark World". When I'm actually done, I may compile a list of what constitutes archrelation, which couuld always be modified if new circumstances arise.

Artwork Gallery
As if you have noticing that I was updating couple of Card Artworks articles - I was thinking of the "Gallery" itself should be unique for Artwork itself only, almost like Errata's "Gallery", if you know what I mean.

 * I've been thinking about making a new card gallery template for a long time, actually. The biggest problem is that it's not easy to work with the &lt;gallery/> tag's markup in templates, and that we don't have very much formatting in the galleries beyond that, so it becomes a question of whether the complexities associated with a template are outweighed by the benefits of having a template to enforce one formatting style. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 01:37, March 21, 2012 (UTC)


 * How about make them Look like this, just similar to all Galleryheader and Navigation stuffs you (and your buddies) had creating in the past?

Tokens
Tokens do qualify as archetype members, yes? They don't seem to be showing up in the navbox at "Cloudian" (though I can't think of any other tokens that would be archetype members off-hand). Going to try to look into the "Sheep Cloud Token"/"Cloudian Token" difference. It could be that both articles were created independent of one another without regard for the Japanese names (one or both could just be presumptions). Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 21:39, March 27, 2012 (UTC)


 * Checked both version of episode 111. The dub uses "Cloud Tokens" (and makes five mistakes in the process). I can't find a sub, but I'm not hearing the phonetic pronunciations for "Sheep Cloud Token" or "Cloudian Token" in a raw. Which means they were originally called neither of those things are or the romaji readings with have for them are wrong (one of which I added myself). Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 22:33, March 27, 2012 (UTC)


 * That's the presumption I've been operating under (and I remember either seeing some other tokens added as members of another archetype, or adding them myself; I don't remember which tokens or archetype, but I do remember observing the same behavior in regards to the navbox). As for tokens not appearing in Archetype navbox, that would be a result of the queries in that template as opposed to anything in CardTable2; if you look through the properties of a token that's tagged as an archetype member but doesn't appear in that archetype's navbox, you'll see that the appropriate property is present and has the correct value. I'm not at all sure this could be fixed just by adjusting the queries used, and is yet another reason the property system needs an overhaul.
 * It makes sense to me that "Sheep Cloud Token" would use the same name as its parent card, since that seems in my experience to be the general pattern for named tokens. However, the anime has done far stupider/weirder things. =/ 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 06:43, March 28, 2012 (UTC)

CardTable2 ordering
I've been changing card pages so that card search cats are the last thing in the input, with anime appearances above it. It displays that way anyway when you view the page.

Spell Card activation in future PSCT/Errata
I am sure that Konami would may reprint all those cards that involved "Spell Cards" being activated in the past; into "resolves successful" as following of "Bountiful Artemis". Since most of them can't triggering if the Spell Card is negated and destroyed, like "Spell Absorption" and many Spellcaster monsters, like "Skilled Dark Magician", etc. It once confused one of my sister's opponents when she used Horus Lockdown back in her time as he tried to recover from his suffer loss by playing Spell Cards and hoped to gain Life Points while "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8" was face-up.

Konami should think twice about their grammar...

Counters in CardTable2
In addition to the anime/manga archsupport but not TCG/OCG/video game archsupport issue, I've also been leaving "counters" categories in card pages if removal of them would result in no cards having that counter category ("Fog Castle" with Beacon Counters for example). I modify the card search cats to use the video game effects in such cases, though need to leave the counter cat (which is anime/manga only) in I have the feeling I'm going to find a few more things that we may need to leave in like that, so perhaps we should add it to the CardTable2 documentation (or perhaps you should since my wording sucks). Actually, I'm not even sure if we document that vg lores take precedence over anime/manga. That is the consensus though. On a related note, why is the category "counters" instead of "counter"? Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 16:22, April 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * The card search categories in general are largely undocumented; this is just a symptom of the larger problem that CardTable2's documentation sucks, and always has. Documentation is not easy to write, especially when you're doing so after the fact, and particularly when you weren't the one who wrote the code you're attempting to document and thus don't fully understand how it's supposed to work or how it was meant to be used. Counters, and the rest of the card search categories, are one such case for me; I don't really know much about how they're used, or how they were meant to be used, aside from the archetypeN / archsupportN / (to a lesser extent) archrelatedN parameters. Because of that, there are all sorts of intricacies and details like the precedence issue you pointed out that aren't documented.
 * Not that I'm arguing against bothering with documentation - after all, I'm the one who originally started getting CardTable2 properly documented, after all - it's just that writing documentation is never very easy, and this is no exception. I'll see what I can do, but first I'll have to get the hang of how the "counters" category is used and where best to document it.
 * As for "counters" versus "counter", I have no idea, since I had nothing to do with its addition.
 * Circling back around for a moment, I think it'd be better to separately document the search categories for each medium with a unique effect, though I have no idea how the parameters would work, or how the information would be best displayed, and I also realize I'd probably be the one doing all the coding. =D
 * Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to finish my little stroll down memory lane. XD 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 17:19, April 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * Most of the card search cats are fairly self-explanatory, though there a few I myself don't get either. The knowledge I have from when I did used to play the game suffices for most of them. If you like, I can attempt to go through them (eventually; +1 to absurdly long mental "to-do" list) and try to document how they're to be used (then check with Delt, Falzar and ATEM so they can fix the mistakes I'm sure I will make).
 * The counters category is just for any card that uses a specific type of counter. That's really it. If the card uses that counter, then it should be added to that page.
 * Good idea, but yeah, that sounds overly complicated.
 * I've looked through that before myself. I may not understand most of it, but looking through it did help me grasp some of it better and it was interesting to see when certain functionalities were added. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 20:09, April 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * If you want to, go ahead. ;) A lot of the stuff actually is fairly obvious in hindsight, especially when you have the added benefit of knowing what the template was like when it was first added - what functionality was already there, what functionality was added alongside it, associated edit summaries, etc.
 * What I find really interesting is the fact that my first edit to the template happened the same day Delt started updating and extending Dantman's initial version; I have no idea how I managed to find the template so early. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 20:16, April 9, 2012 (UTC)

 * Awesome, looks like you got it, Dinoguy. --Golden Key (talk • contribs) 21:22, April 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * Indeed, Fred, working with templates is quite a bit different from working with other types of pages, since a single edit to a template can affect many many pages. In addition, templates are currently only one degree removed from straight-up programming (if even that), and in many respects, are actually harder to write and edit than actual program/application code. Because of these (and how they interact with various behaviors of MediaWiki), editing a template isn't something you should generally do unless you have a reasonable idea of what's going on in the code you edit; CardTable2 uses some fairly intricate code in places (there is some of it that even I don't fully understand), so it's perfectly reasonable for Cheesedude to ask someone else to edit the template instead of trying to do so himself and potentially breaking stuff or introducing subtle bugs. ;)
 * I fixed the problem with the gallery header; the issue was that double exclamation points (!!) are wikicode for a new header cell when used inside a wikicode table, which is what GalleryHeader uses. It wouldn't be an issue if the template was converted to instead use an HTML table, but doing that would require updating literally every transclusion on the site (since you can't mix HTML and wikicode for a table's markup), and I don't have the patience for that. ;) 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 21:27, April 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * Actually, they do have a category. I just somehow never noticed it. I've been thinking about this more. The whole thing needs some restructuring, I think. One thing I've been doing is taking out redundant search cats (i.e. Destroys Monster Cards, Destroys your opponent's face-up Attack Position Monster Cards; the second is pointless if the first is already there). Is there any way to make a page show up in the list shown on two search cat pages while only listing it on one. i.e., anything listed at Destroys your opponent's Trap Cards would also be listed at Destroys Trap Cards by default?
 * There's also no clear definitions for which parameters are used for each cat. I've seen Tributes for cost listed as both "action" and "mst". Generally, I use "action" for that one.
 * There's also other stuff about this I wanted to point out that I have gone and forgotten between beginning to type this out and now. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 12:28, April 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * Definitely; a systematic codification (and, where necessary, restructuring/overhaul) of the card search categories is long overdue.
 * That's pretty simple; just include e.g. "Destroys your opponent's face-up Attack Position Monster Cards" in the query on "Destroys Monster Cards". There's a potential issue with the sheer size of the query (or, more specifically, the number of conditions in the query) once you start getting to the more generic properties, but concepts should help mitigate that.
 * I've noticed that type of confusion occasionally myself. In the specific case of "Tributes for cost", action does seem the more appropriate category. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 00:05, April 12, 2012 (UTC)

Speaking of moving
Now that bots can be given mover rights as well, would it be possible to use them to fix all of the images in galleries without the hyphen before the set abbreviation? --Golden Key (talk • contribs) 00:44, April 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * Kind of... In most cases, it can be done by inserting a hyphen after the last lowercase letter before the first hyphen in the card's name (if that makes sense), but there are cases where that would separate part of the card's name as part of the set ID, and there are also cases where the gallery contains images with a mixture of old and new-style names. It would help automate the actual change, but each edit would still need to be manually reviewed. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 05:04, April 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * So it's as similar to doing a find and replace in Microsoft Word as I imagined it to be? ie., a bot could be set to change tDB1 to t-DB1, thus fixing File:PenguinKnightDB1-EN-C-UE.jpg, File:BlackPendantDB1-EN-R-UE.jpg, etc.? Galleries seem pretty easy to review: just look for the redlinks. The time it would take to fix any errors would probably be far less than the time it would take for someone to go through a gallery manually to make the changes. --Golden Key (talk • contribs) 15:43, April 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * Kind of (I'm saying that a lot all of a sudden, aren't I? ;P ). A bot could make full use of regexes, meaning we could use something like  (don't worry if you can't understand that, regex is just a stone's throw from being a write-only language (and is already there for many people)). 「 ディノ 奴  千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 16:39, April 16, 2012 (UTC)

 * Well, yeah, I have had the thought, but I've been leery of doing it myself because I feel it would be best for all the images to be properly renamed first, and there are also other issues that have to be handled, in particular with punctuation in image names that should be removed (dashes in card names, in particular), but that's just me, and Falzar would probably be willing to go ahead with a bot run. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 17:34, April 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * Just to make sure we're on the same page, I was talking about using the bots to properly rename the images, then having them fix the gallery pages.

 * Aha, that's what I thought at first, but your wording in your opening comment didn't seem to support that. =)

 * That was part of my motivation for creating OCG-TCG card image - it still requires work to deploy, but that work is more amenable to AWB, and after the template is added, it allows any admin (or, now, any editor with the mover user right) to rename the image in one click, with zero typing and zero work in determining the correct file name (though uses of the image still have to be updated manually).

 * Keep in mind, though, that  (and  ) has a very specific semantic meaning - specifically, to mark text that has been deleted  and inserted  at some point.

 * Actually, I have to ask (or rather, I've been wondering for some time and never bothered to mention it until now) whether there's any reason for us not to use definition lists for Duel summaries like that -   for the headings, and    for the descriptions.

 * If necessary, yes, but ideally the bolding and the difference in indentation should be enough emphasis. ;)
 * One note on the CSS: to prevent us from having to reset the left and right padding (and thus end up with all the potential issues associated with doing so), we would want to specify padding-top and padding-bottom individually. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 06:02, April 26, 2012 (UTC)

 * That way we'd only have one  per   and by just typing each turnsummary like regular paragraphs, they'd get their   tags and associated padding. -- Deltaneos (talk) 10:07, April 26, 2012 (UTC)


 * In that case, I'd suggest using one outer template for the  (since we'd be using HTML instead of wikimarkup to generate the list, we could also ditch the outer   and apply the class directly to the  ) and an inner template for each  /  pair.

I was careful to make them Hidden so as not to distract anyone viewing the page.  The key was it was working for the purpose I needed it for and it was nobody's concern but mine.

Set redirect templates
Hey just wanted to let you know I'll put back all the set template redirects. The reason I got rid of them in the first place was that I added the {OCG-TCG card image} template to the first couple of HAO5-IT card images and they linked fine without the HA05/IT redirect template, I hadn't created it yet. Not sure how that could have been a bug though, I kept checking to make sure it wasn't breaking anything every so often. Looks like a night sleep broke everything though. Any ideas why it would have worked without the language redirect for the set template? Sorry again I'll fix it this afternoon. Look234 (talk • contribs) 12:10, May 7, 2012 (UTC)


 * Were you using "region" instead of "lang" for those images? The template not linking through the redirects was a bug I was aware of for a while but didn't find the cause of (namely, using "region" instead of "lang") until last night (at which point I fixed it, causing the breakage), so there were quite a few images that weren't properly using them. You don't have to restore all of them, BTW, just the ones that actually are used; knowing the keyboard shortcut to a page's Special:WhatLinksHere page (Alt (Alt in some browsers)) helps a lot there. I'll probably go through more of them later myself, so don't think the burden is on you alone. =) 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 18:13, May 7, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks, yeah I've been trying to help get the template a little more active. It's showing up a bit more now so that's good news. Also, I found a few problems while adding the template, you probably already know about these but just in case:
 * Curse of Anubis (card) - has trouble with the (card) distinction in the name
 * Damage = Reptile - does not like the "=" character
 * That Wacky Magic! - does not like the "!" character
 * Sorry I'm going to ask a few more questions, do you have a way to override the "edition" or the "set" for some cards? The problem for this is that the card says that their gallery does not exist or that it's from the wrong set. Some more examples:
 * Gaia Knight, the Force of Earth YSD4-JPP01 - links to Starter Deck 2009 instead of Yu-Gi-Oh! Summer Challenge 2009 Promotional Cards due to it being a promo with YSD4 as it's set
 * Elemental HERO The Shining PRC1-ENV01 - the gallery that the image is in is labeled as a 1st edition gallery, it tries linking to a limited edition gallery for its set. I could make a gallery specifically for the limited edition variant cards but it seems a bit of over kill to have three galleries for one region on that set.
 * No rush on anything, I know you have your own projects to work on, just giving you a heads up just in case you hadn't seen these yet. Thanks again for the template, it does help clean up misnamed cards while I'm going through the galleries and it looks nice. ^_^ Look234 (talk • contribs) 19:59, May 7, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the reports, I'll look into them at some point (probably a bit later).
 * I knew there'd be a problem with "Damage = Reptile"; SMW's distinction between input and data is poor (poorer then wikimarkup/ParserFunctions, even), with one symptom being that it absolutely chokes on page names containing equals signs. This is something I've fixed elsewhere; the fix should be reasonably straightforward, albeit ugly as hell.
 * In contrast, I'm surprised at hearing that it has difficulties with card names containing exclamation points or stuff like "(card)"; I'll have a look and see what's going on there.
 * (Warning: text dump ahead, sorry for the length... ^^;; ) Unfortunately, a card's set is nowhere near as "clean" as it could be (Konami/UDE standardized the abbreviations far later then they should have, and even now Konami seems way too willing to do weird things with abbreviations); this is why the template transcludes through the redirects you deleted (since some set abbreviations have been used for completely different sets in different regions, so this allows one of these redirects to be changed to instead handle that specific case). However, there are other cases where the same set abbreviation has been used for different sets in the same region, and still other cases (like you noted above) where they are arguably more "sub-sets" of the same set, but we treat them as separate sets for convenience. So this is an issue I knew would come up at some point, and I have put a bit of thought into it, but an elegant solution still evades me - perhaps we could do something like "YSD4P" and "PRC1V" for the set abbreviations for the above cards? Since all instances of the actual output of a set's name and abbreviation are generated by Set subpages, we could have the abbreviation display as something like "YSD4-JPP" or "PRC1-V" or similar (though that would mess with linking to the appropriate set gallery, too... hmm) . (Basically, I'm wanting to not use an override parameter if I can avoid it, since that would add further complexity to using the template.) Ultimately, I'm almost positive there's some way to completely eliminate the per-set Set subtemplates; I just haven't hit on it yet (but it's something else I spend time thinking about).
 * Thanks, that was a major driving force for creating the template (well, that and coming across random Japanese card images that I don't recognise, aren't used or linked from anywhere, and whose names don't reflect the English name of the card). If you have any thoughts on ways the template could be further improved/refined, I'd love to hear them! =D 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 23:30, May 7, 2012 (UTC)


 * After thinking about it for a bit, I think that the ideal long-term solution to the "(card)" problem would require a pretty big change in how we name card images (namely, stop stripping every non-alphanumeric character and its dog from the card's name, and use a different delimiter for separating the different parts of the image name). I've thought of doing this in the past, using a period for the delimiter, but I don't like that since it would still require stripping the period from card names using it (of which there are a non-trivial number), and it would complicate detection of the components of the image name somewhat (just about enough to offset the simplification arising from not having to strip characters from the card name, I think). Most all other potential delimiter characters have similar problems, either appearing in card names (comma, slash) or being used as wikimarkup/by the MediaWiki software and thus complicating handling in that way (asterisk, ampersand), and some have both problems (exclamation point). I've been meaning for a while to make a list of cards that use various non-alphanumeric characters in their names; I'll have to do this now just to see what characters I might be able to use (I'm now leaning towards the tilde, but the visually-similar wave dash is used in some Japanese card names IIRC, and there's the possibility of some card being released in English with a tilde in its name (unfortunately, this is also a concern for all other potential delimiter characters, so it'll ultimately come down to what has the highest ratio of convenience versus likelihood of appearing in an English card name)).
 * Of course, this all assumes I could actually get the community on board with such a large change, especially considering we're still updating from my previous successful campaigns to change how we handle card image file names in various ways. The upside is that if such a change did get community support, there's already a reasonably widely deployed template that will auto-tag images needing renamed, as well as provide a link to do so in two clicks, for us. =D 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 00:08, May 8, 2012 (UTC)

I'm thinking it has something to do with "Heraldry" being redirected to "Heraldry Beast" and the unredirected back to its own article.


 * Also, can you look at "Heraldry Beast Aberconway" and/or "Heraldry Beast Bernard's Falcon" and isolate the Japanese text for "Heraldry Beast" based on "High Medallion Arts". I can't quite do so. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 17:40, May 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * I think it's a SMW caching issue related to (as you said) making stuff redirects and then reverting; it's fixed itself, so there's not much for me to do now (though I tried plenty of stuff before it fixed itself).
 * Done. Also, where are the "English" lores for "High Medallion Arts" and the "Number" monster coming from? I thought we only did "English anime" lores for anime-only cards? I'm especially asking since I'm not seeing any evidence that the anime lores actually explicitly support "Heraldry Beast"... 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 20:35, May 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * What? The cards are being released in Abyss Rising and the lores are from the spoiler list, I suppose. The anime lores are...from the anime. And the anime effects don't support "Heraldry Beast". Its the real effects that do. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 23:34, May 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * Actually, I"m watching episode 54 now. Tron seems to say Monshōjū when he uses "High Medallion Arts" and the text on the anime card image itself appears longer than the text we have transcribed in "jpanimelore". Its anime effect may also support "Heraldry Beast". A better image is needed to confirm it though. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 00:59, May 17, 2012 (UTC)


 * Right, I didn't think to check if the cards were actually being released; I just assumed they were currently anime-only. I found a JP lore for Number 8, but couldn't find one for HMA (not that I either looked terribly hard or particularly know where to look...). 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 02:06, May 17, 2012 (UTC)


 * Bit of a necro bump, and you might be aware already, but Heraldry Beast page has been acting up again for a few days now. Similarly, Navigation links are saying Card Gallery:Absorbing Jar doesn't exist. --Golden Key (talk • contribs) 13:11, May 31, 2012 (UTC)


 * Fixed it for good, I think. The problem was List of "Heraldry" cards, which was left over from Heraldry. Since the latter was redirected to Heraldry Beast, the list started acting like a "Heraldry Beast" member list, and because of the way the links are designed and SMW works, that caused the weird links. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 17:59, June 1, 2012 (UTC)

Hyper Coat, redux
Guess what? Falzar discovered some other cards that are valid targets for its effect. See here. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 00:07, May 21, 2012 (UTC)

Delay in replacing bgcolor
There's a  attribute used in CardTable2, followed by a comment saying that some custom colours need to be fixed before it can be replaced with its CSS equivalent. I just noticed today that Internet Explorer 7 and 8 are having trouble displaying three digit hexadecimal colour codes used there, so the top of nearly every card article is black. Three digit colour codes work fine when using  though. So what is it that needs to be fixed with the custom colours before we can change the  to a  ? Alternatively we can just switch the colour codes to six digits, but I'd rather we just got rid of the. -- Deltaneos (talk) 21:07, May 22, 2012 (UTC)


 * It's because custom colors may use quotes around the color name/value. I think we could go ahead and replace it, and just make sure to check for and strip quotes from custom values, but if that's done, it should be followed up with actually checking and removing quotes from values on card articles. I think I was planning on doing this at the same time I looked through the custom values used to see if there are any that could reasonably be moved into the template, but obviously haven't gotten around to doing either yet. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 01:44, May 23, 2012 (UTC)


 * I went ahead and updated CardTable2; it shouldn't break any transclusions, but there's always the possibility. Transclusions should be updated as soon as reasonable so the hack can be removed from the template. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 02:15, May 23, 2012 (UTC)

Question Regarding Retro1 and Retro2
Just a quick question for you. Were the Retro Packs released in the U.S.? I see they have the EN after the Card Code. However the Release Dates Say European TCG Releas and they have the European Union flag at the top of the page. It is sending mixed messages to me.

Infobox migration
So, what's the plan? Are there any thoughts on us starting to convert all the old infoboxes, which use the ACG material, to the Wikipedia-like ones? -- Deltaneos (talk) 14:51, June 1, 2012 (UTC)
