Typo fixing and name changes
Hey Deltaneos, we can maintain a local typo list that AWB will use. Currently, it only uses one list (on Wikia, it defaults to Wikipedia's list if a given Wikia wiki doesn't have a local list), but a developer has said he'd add functionality to support loading from multiple lists. Regardless of that, though, we could set up a local typo list to update card, character, etc. names as official English names are confirmed. We could also maintain a list of typos specific to our wiki, like the seemingly endless possible permutations of "Yu-Gi-Oh!". I've got a pretty lengthy IRC chat log on the general subject from the discussion I had with the AWB developer; I already have his permission to post it and can do so if you want more info. 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000 23:59, June 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * Older names are distinct from typos. Typos can crop-up at any time and should be fixed every time they appear.
 * After a page is moved to match a name change, if you go through "what links here" and update the name on every page that linked to the old title, it's unlikely that the old title will be used again (except where it's supposed to).
 * The old titles are sometimes used in places that shouldn't be changed to the newest title. For example the "translated name" section in infoboxes and tables and the "known as X in the Japanese version" line at the start of character articles. English language video games sometimes give different names to cards that hadn't been released in English at the time, to the names that they end up getting when released in the TCG. So articles about a video game should use whatever name is used in that video game. Same with anime and manga.
 * Unlike typos, we're not going to be constantly on the lookout to update every name that's ever been changed and we won't want to change every instance of the old title. -- Deltaneos (talk) 22:50, June 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I understand all that. The typo list could still be useful for updating old names, though, especially since you can't run AWB in bot mode if typo correction is turned on. Besides that, the dev said he'd add support for multiple typo lists, and possibly even loading lists from custom URLs/local lists, sometime soon, meaning we could set up a list specifically for fixing old names, alongside a standard local typo list, if we wanted to. 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000 01:09, June 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * Okay. I guess that could work. -- Deltaneos (talk) 12:35, June 10, 2010 (UTC)

What do you think of this request?
I mentioned this idea to you a while ago and I sent off a suggestion to the community wikia forum (here: http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Request:_Stats_page_for_detailed_edit_info). Do you think it's well worded? Suggestions for changes? Am I crazy? Have I posted the suggestion in the wrong place (is there a request forum on the community wikia or something)?

Template:Card table set
You can see full sample deployments on "Dark Magician", "Blue-Eyes White Dragon", "Toon Goblin Attack Force", "Dragon Zombie", "Graverobber", "Crawling Dragon 2", "Claw Reacher", "Change Slime", and "Alector, Sovereign of Birds" (there are one- or two-line transclusions on a handful of other card pages, as well). I'm thinking the template might also automatically handle the "Alternate Artwork #" text seen on some video game cards, but I don't know what the desired standard for location, styling, etc. is (Dark Magician places it between the set name and parenthesis, whereas BEWD has it after the parenthesis). How does the template look (good enough for general deployment)? Thoughts? 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000 17:19, July 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Also, unless I'm mistaken about how SMW works, this template would allow us to automatically add SMW tags to articles based on what sets they're in, what their set numbers are, and what rarities they've been released as, finally allowing all this information to be searched via SMW queries. Is this desirable, and is there someone about who can advise me on applying SMW to this, if you can't for whatever reason? 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000 17:22, July 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * Looks good.
 * I didn't notice video game sets were noting alternate artworks. That seems overexcessive for the card articles.
 * SMW can be added, but there is one problem. The template doesn't have anything to say which language it is. We'd probably want something along the lines of English TLM number::TLM-EN001 and French TLM number::TLM-FR001
 * When a card has multiple rarities for the same set, I think the rarities should all go into the same parameter. There's a neat string function that's part of SMW forms, #arraymap, that can be helpful with this.
 * It works like this
 * For example, you have a template with  and use , the output will be  . (Not the names we'd be using, just an example.)
 * -- Deltaneos (talk) 01:08, July 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * So, simply remove the alternate artwork entries where they are encountered?
 * Yeah, I noted the language problem (not in the same vein as you did, but I still noticed it), but have been putting it off until I took the time to develop set, a totally insane idea I had to allow standard set name/abbreviation generation for all sets, in all languages, via a series of templates (like the ISO country/language code templates on Wikipedia, only without the international standardization). I can probably hack something in in the meantime; I'm just not sure whether I should implement it via a new named parameter (probably ), by tacking on another unnamed parameter to the end (which would potentially greatly complicate some of the parameter preprocessing), or by sticking the unnamed parameter after the set name (which feels most natural to me, but would require renumbering all the subsequent parameters and would break almost every one of the current (albeit few) transclusions).
 * I'm also wondering if it'd really be worth creating a new property for every language/region variant of every set ever released? It would be useful, true, but would it be useful enough? (on the other hand, once we got a general template for what should be on these properties hammered out, they could be created by bot, allowing us to implement them however we wanted) Also, would English TLM number::TLM-EN001 be the preferable naming for them? I'm immediately seeing alternates English TLM set number::... or TLM-EN set number::... ...
 * The problem with that is that I'm passing the rarities through r currently, which ensures the rarities are one of the documented ones, allows the use of either the abbreviation or the full rarity name, and auto-links it (I'm also using r on TCG-OCG card image to enable some of the value checking to be removed from that template's code). Is there a way to preserve this behavior using #arraymap et al? 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000 01:30, July 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'd probably leave out the alt artwork mention, but if other people want it, either your "extra3" or "extra4" looks fine.
 * I'm not sure I understand. You mean something where you can input "TLM-EN001" and it will recognise "The Lost Millennium" as the set and "English" as the language?
 * Unless the property mentions both the language and the set, I can't see any way of automatically creating set lists, at least not ones that will include the set number. I don't really mind which way they're named, as long as it's consistent.
 * I'm not sure I see how using r will conflict with using #arraymap. Won't  or   work? -- Deltaneos (talk) 02:00, July 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * Gotcha.
 * Sorry, no, I mean something where you can enter the set's name and language/region (something like ), or the set abbreviation and language/region abbreviation (something like ), or some combination/variant thereof, and you get back a standardized full set name or set abbreviation. Although, it may be possible (via severely abusing StringFunctions =D ) to come up with something that can kind of work on set numbers like that.
 * Yeah, I should have seen that...
 * Well, I'm not saying they'll conflict, but rather expressing my general ignorance of SMW syntax/usage, never having experimented with it enough to learn. I just wanted to make sure the template could be used together with that syntax without any problems, and if so, how. On further reflection, though, it's probably a moot point as long as the SMW stuff gets added in the /core template, since the rarity template is applied in the preprocessing "wrapper" template. 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000 04:22, July 6, 2010 (UTC)

Card subpages
Hey Deltaneos, I have on occasion run across pages like Rivalry of Warlords/GLD1-EN-C-LE and Royal Command/GLD1-EN-C-LE, and was wondering what purpose these pages serve - it seems to me they would be entirely redundant to the main card pages. 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000 01:16, July 11, 2010 (UTC)

 * All right; I've gone ahead and deleted it. One more question; is Dantman (or anyone) still working on CardTable at all, or was that basically given up on, or what? 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000 06:38, July 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * Y'know the best thing anyone can do is have a good idea. Once they start to execute it, the worst thing thing they can do is have another good idea. Such is the case with Dantman; a lot of his stuff is left unfinished as he starts new projects. No discredit intended. I don't know if or when he plans to get back to CardTable. You're better off asking him.

 * Yeah, I know exactly what that's like, and it's probably why people like him (and me!) end up gravitating so strongly to wikis. I may ask him about it at some point, then.
 * Ooh, I din't know about that one; thanks for pointing it out (it's already on my watchlist now =) )! What I may end up doing is looking at CardTable and Card Table and pulling stuff from them into Template:CardTable2/sandbox, once I've gotten it split into separate templates for each card game.

Dragon Lords
I noticed that you recommended the Dragon Lord Archetype page for deletion because it wasn't stated anywhere that those three Monsters collectively are the Dragon Lords. However, on each of their trivia pages (Besides Felgrand's) they're referred to as Dragon Lords. Take into account that they're the only 3 high leveled Dragons in the Rise of the Dragon Lords Structure Deck, and it seems reasonable, to me at least, that those three cards are the first TCG-exclusive Archetype made of cards in both the OCG and TCG, so I would recommend just modifying the page to be more like other Archetypes, as well as fixing the grammar. --174.39.254.27 (talk) 19:48, July 11, 2010 (UTC)

About the deletion of Dragon Lords(Archetype)
About the dragon lords. Hello .Well this is my first message in yugioh wikia to an user. I created the article Dragon Lords twice(both as a anonymous user)with the next goal: make known better about this little-known cards. My first try was deleted for TwotailedFox a long time ago(but it was deleted for be a poor article) and the second is the article called Dragon Lords(Archetype)(more complete and better than the first try),few time before that i created my a account in yugioh.wikia as Angellicantropo and now i know about to the possible deletion of my first article.

Despite this matter you talk about "withdraw the deletion nomination unless anyone else feels the page should be deleted." I know there are some problems in my article but it can be solved and we can upgrade and/or improve the article.
