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.

 * 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

 * 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)

 * Ok, I'll move them after the edits seem to work perfectly.
 * Fusion/Synchro/Xyz/Rituals are all Semi-Nomi by default; the exception is if the card says they are Nomi. Excluding Fusion/Synchro/Xyz/Rituals in "Can always be Special Summoned" should fix the problem.

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.
 * I know. I got an email notification and a "LOL NEW MESSAGE" giant orange box at the top of every page until I check it. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 18:15, March 15, 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes, a list would definitely be nice. =)

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. If so, then we should make it complete anew instead of using the one from Card Gallery box - because it's not suit for that article. Why not? -- F  r  e  d  C  a  t  12:27, March 20, 2012 (UTC)
