Female Characteristic
I really hope that you understand what "overtly" word meaning... If you do, then describe it clearly please. -- i  F  r  e  d  C  a  t  12:40, June 8, 2013 (UTC)
 * I am asked you to defining what "overtly" mean - I don't ask for your rants about the choice. They stay and that's that. -- i  F  r  e  d  C  a  t  12:47, June 8, 2013 (UTC)
 * Don't matter, it's not your article to control. I just pull it and left it there as normal. If you want to fight, feel free spit at Admin - I am just merely mover who obeyed to the (Yu-Gi-Oh! Wikia) laws. -- i  F  r  e  d  C  a  t  12:52, June 8, 2013 (UTC)
 * The reason why I disagreed to your option: this girl was already revealed her figure when released in the Japan, while this girl has showing some female secondary sex characteristic as well as this version. Therefore I was against your optional from start and if you wish to continue this, go to the discussion and give it some talks before we can settle this. I am not continuing to argue with you for this stupidity conflict. And again, it's not your nor my article to control, I only merely obeyed the rulings. -- i  F  r  e  d  C  a  t  13:09, June 8, 2013 (UTC)

It's a matter of opinion, but I believe "Water Omotics" could fit under either category, because "secondary female characteristics" are used to judge where or not a monster has an "overtly female appearance." My suggestion? Drop the "overtly female appearance" part and replace "Mist Valley Shaman" with "Water Omotics", since although both monsters look female in their OCG versions, "Water Omotics" is the easiest to identify as female in the TCG version. --UltimateKuriboh (talk • contribs) 18:30, June 8, 2013 (UTC)
 * As I understood it, the purpose of the "overtly female appearance" was for characters like "Dryad" who didn't have any secondary female characteristics in the frame of the image. Which really was the basis for my objection to placing "Water Omotics" there; it clearly does have secondary female characteristics. I suppose excluding "Dryad" and similar cards isn't that bad anyway though. -- Snorlax Monster  18:37, June 8, 2013 (UTC)

Ruling Warning
In Infraction‎, it was that way when Konami printed out the lists of warnings and stuffs - "Sangan" was limited at that time when they published it. This time, I have nothing to against that thought of your. Just thought I would like to admit what I was thinking about that article. But good job cover all "error" they left in there with Sic part. -- i  F  r  e  d  C  a  t  14:38, June 8, 2013 (UTC)
 * indeed, that's outdated but still true, kindly like all those "Previous Official Rulings" in Card Ruling articles, which were yet to be "disapproved" by Konami. -- i  F  r  e  d  C  a  t  14:46, June 8, 2013 (UTC)

Chain Link
"The effect of "Naturia Barkion" can be activated multiple times in the same Chain.[3]". That is right, you can activate "Naturia Barkion" effect as chain link 2 and then in the same Chain as chain link 4, but you cannot put all "Naturia Barkion" effect in one chain link. the ruling say "in the same Chain" not "in the same Chain Link". --Dlamash (talk • contribs) 17:53, June 8, 2013 (UTC)

Images
Thanks a bunch for the images you've uploaded. If you could upload future images in png format though, it would be even more appreciated. Take care! --Golden Key (talk • contribs) 18:04, October 31, 2013 (UTC)
 * Oh, and did you happen to find those images on a particular site? I've been asking around to find one with un-watermarked Spanish images, since our galleries are lacking them. --Golden Key (talk • contribs) 20:46, October 31, 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm getting them from the alternate language links down the bottom of the page. I'm leaving them as JPG because that's what they are originally and converting to PNG them isn't going to increase the quality, but if you would rather have them that way (so consistency for templates or ease of replacement) I can do so. -- Snorlax Monster  00:32, November 1, 2013 (UTC)
 * Converting them to png is fine. --Golden Key (talk • contribs) 02:37, November 1, 2013 (UTC)
 * Also, if you come across a watermarked or otherwise poor quality image that is in jpg format and you have a better replacement, still upload it as a png, change all links to the old file and tag the jpg for deletion. --Golden Key (talk • contribs) 13:05, November 1, 2013 (UTC)
 * Will do. Since you're an admin, could you move the images I accidentally gave the wrong names? (They got tagged automatically because the summaries didn't match the filenames.) -- Snorlax Monster  13:07, November 1, 2013 (UTC)

Mover rights
Hey again, Snorlax. I've given you mover rights, as I believe you can make use of them. You can now move images and suppress redirects for things like card sub-pages. Let me know if you need help with anything. --Golden Key (talk • contribs) 18:48, November 4, 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I'll be sure to use them responsibly. I've got similar rights on other wikis, so I'm familiar with the process. Thanks for all your help. -- Snorlax Monster  19:01, November 4, 2013 (UTC)
 * Great. Though just remember that redirects need to be repressed when you rename files. --Golden Key (talk • contribs) 19:33, November 4, 2013 (UTC)

Deletion
So, kinda continuing on what Golden Key said above... when nominating an .jpg image for deletion that you've uploaded a .png version to replace it with, you want to make sure that .jpg is not being used anywhere else on the Wiki. To check where there an image is being used, scroll down to the bottom of the File page with the image, and you'll see a list of where the image is being currently used. I bring this up because of the 1st Edition "Edge Hammer" .png image you uploaded. You nominated the .jpg for deletion, but didn't replace the file name to .png in the locations where it was being used. Please make sure the image you are nominating for deletion isn't being used anywhere, before putting the Deletion notice on the page. --UltimateKuriboh (talk • contribs) 14:08, November 7, 2013 (UTC)
 * Oh, I actually saved that edit before fixing the others? I had relinked the image in other tabs, but hadn't saved them yet. I'll be more careful in future. -- Snorlax Monster  14:11, November 7, 2013 (UTC)

NEX
"NEX" is part of the "Elemental HERO" archetype because in order to summon "Elemental HERO Marine Neos", you need to have "Neo-Spacian Marine Dolphin" on the field, which you can only do by upgrading "Neo-Spacian Aqua Dolphin" by using "NEX". (123Kid (talk • contribs) 15:28, March 15, 2014 (UTC))

Starter Decks Kaiba and Yugi
Just glad you managed to find their official release dates. ^^ --UltimateKuriboh (talk • contribs) 07:01, March 25, 2014 (UTC)
 * I wasn't even intentionally looking for it. However, now that I've gone and added that, it looks like it contradicts with the official database. I'm more inclined to trust contemporary sources, but it is worth noting that this information came out before the release so the release could possibly have been postponed (this is always a problem I have trying to find release dates for old things). It is important that my link indicates that SDY/SDK were the first sets to be released, whereas the database puts LOB before them. -- Snorlax Monster  07:20, March 25, 2014 (UTC)

Soul Charge and Destiny HERO - Diamond Dude
Ok, it doesnt prevent me of losing my Life Points, but still, i can conduce my BP with that, right? Also, why did you delete the cards i marked that can give us some extra Life Points? --OnePiece (talk • contribs) 13:54, April 15, 2014 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that would get you out of that; either way, it would be a good idea to specify why Diamond Dude works well with the card. As for the specific list of LP-gaining cards, I felt none of the examples were particularly exceptional, but if you do want them they would be better placed in the same point as the general tip. -- Snorlax Monster  14:04, April 15, 2014 (UTC)

That explains a little the things, but i think mystik wok would be very good with that, since i can Tribute some monsters with large ATK that can easily summoned such as the "Blue-Eyes White Dragon", right? --OnePiece (talk • contribs) 14:10, April 15, 2014 (UTC)
 * Yeah, Special Summoning a high ATK monster and Tributing it with Mystic Wok could work. -- Snorlax Monster  14:11, April 15, 2014 (UTC)

Wyrm stuff
Sorry about the more-or-less unceremonious undo there; I'm practically falling asleep at my computer and so am just looking to get wrapped up and head to bed. If you'd like, I can explain my reasoning better after I've gotten up tomorrow. =) 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 04:11, May 10, 2014 (UTC)
 * I kinda understand why, but if you'd like to explain in more detail later, I'm certainly not going to object. The wiki is fairly inconsistent with how it formats Japanese names anyway, doing the Fairy way sometimes and the Archfiend way other times, with pages like Earthbound Immortal doing it in weird other ways (I personally prefer the Fairy way, since it makes it more clear that the translation is unofficial). Your Genryu edit ended up fitting none of them anyway, since it provided a romanization in place of a translation, then went on to provide a romanization and two possible translations anyway. -- Snorlax Monster  04:23, May 10, 2014 (UTC)
 * I would hesitate to point to any particular way and say "this is the only way we can go", anyways; if we do that, we're eventually going to find ourselves with a situation the method can't handle. That being said, let me immediately turn around and lay out "the only way we can go" in most cases. :razz:
 * Many cases are going to be pretty straightforward: we have an official English name, and it happens to be the only possible translation of the Japanese name (e.g. because the Japanese name is literally just a katakana reading of the English name), or at least a very obvious possible translation. In this case, we'd just have to do  - easy peasy.
 * Quite a bit of the time, we're looking at something where the official English name is a much less obvious translation of the Japanese name, or Konami's simply decided for whatever reason to ignore the Japanese name altogether. Here we'd do something more like  Several of our archseries pages use this format already.
 * Now we get into the weirder stuff, for example, the English name doesn't follow from the Japanese name, as above, or we don't have an official English name yet, and in both cases the Japanese name has no obviously-best single translation. This is our Wyrm situation (I'm pretty sure "Six Samurai" is another example of this, too). So, to avoid "picking sides", as it were, we should use the romanization of the Japanese name instead of any translations, and then lay out later how the Japanese name can be translated.
 * Anything else should basically be dealt with on a case-by-case basis, I think.
 * In all cases, if for some reason the Japanese name merits further exposition - for example, it features a pun that doesn't translate well, if it was even translated at all in the English name - we'd discuss it somewhere further down in the article: a separate paragraph in the lede, maybe, or if there's enough nuance or detail to merit it, a separate "Etymology" section. And obviously, these should be seen as "best practices", not absolute law or even really hard-and-fast guidelines; we should be able to adjust how we handle specific cases if for some reason we'd need to deviate from the norm. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 12:57, May 10, 2014 (UTC)
 * Aah, I should've actually looked at your examples before saving, too. Hindsight's 20/20, though, and better late than never, and whatever else glib sayings you might like to apply, so here we go. =D Archfiend is a straight-up example of my second case above, save for using "OCG" instead of "Japan". Fairy lies somewhere in between the first and second cases: the English name isn't a direct translation of the Japanese name, but it follows as a very obvious possible choice for a translator, so there's no real need to draw much attention to the fact the English name differs from the Japanese one. Earthbound Immortal is flat-out wrong and misleading; if the Japanese name does not translate to the English name, it should not be "attached" to the English name as though it does, even if the actual translation is offered later, and I'll be fixing it in a minute. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 13:04, May 10, 2014 (UTC)
 * I understand that any kind of formatting standard for Japanese names in the intro is only going to be a guideline and not a rule. However, I think more consistency than at present is reasonable.
 * I think "in Japanese" is a more accurate description than either "in the OCG" or "in Japan" (due to the existence of the Korean/Chinese OCG for the former, and the latter due to the fact that it is based on language not location), but I know that those two are currently used vastly more frequently.
 * Fairy I actually picked intentionally, because its something that had a significant change from its Japanese name. I do not see the change Angel → Fairy as substantially different from Daemon → Archfiend (note that Fiend has virtually the same change as Archfiend as is formatted the same way as Fairy, so perhaps that would have been a better example). If the English name is not a reasonable translation of the Japanese name, formatting the intro differently based on how similar the names are is just introducing unnecessary subjectivity. I would rather see Fairy and Archfiend formatted the same way (I mentioned I preferred Fairy's formatting, but I would really rather just see all pages like this consistent).
 * Looking at the Six Samurai page, it seems to be done as a type 2 (once again as "in the OCG" though). The thing about the Wyrm page is that the two translations provided both mean virtually the same thing, whereas the other options provided in the note are substantially different, like "mythic" and "legendary". I should point out that is simply translated as "Phantom" on the Divine-Beast page, and "phantom" seems to be the usual translation in Yu-Gi-Oh for that kanji (see Phantom Beast, Phantom Butterfly) when not in a standard kanji compound.
 * I completely agree about expanded sections to explain puns. If it's not a simple translation, then I understand having a paragraph about the different parts of it. -- Snorlax Monster  13:56, May 10, 2014 (UTC)
 * I suppose here we'll have to differ in opinion. =) If an English name is not a translation of the Japanese name, then formatting it as is done on Fairy is misleading, in my opinion, because it suggests that the English name is a reasonable translation. But this is one of those areas where it's all a bit gray, so it should really be decided case-by-case.
 * I didn't actually look at the Six Samurai page when I wrote out my comment, I just remember cheesedude asking one of the Org translators about it a while back and getting a response that boiled down to "it's complicated". The translations shown on Wyrm were just the first two translations listed in the note; I am not a translator myself, so I decided it would be better to couch my picks by just going for the straightforward "first two options" rather than trying to guess at what translations might be appropriately representative. I also didn't look at how the kanji has been translated elsewhere, otherwise I probably would have chosen "Phantom" for one of the translations. As it is, you should feel free to change one or both, as long as you explain clearly in the edit summary your reasoning. =) 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 14:09, May 10, 2014 (UTC)

OW preferred over card image?
Regarding your recent edit to "Orichalcos Deuteros" - according to this comment that UltimateKuriboh posted when I did the same thing for "Infernity Zero", the standard seems to always be to use the high-quality artwork image rather than the card image whenever the artwork image is available. There's loads of anime cards with fairly clear images (the first ones that come to mind besides "Infernity Zero" are "Neos Spiral Force" and "Razion, the Timelord") that have the artwork used instead as per the policy. Do you think the policy needs changing? Blueapple128 (talk • contribs) 03:51, June 1, 2014 (UTC)
 * That is specifically about Tag Force images, not OW images; video game images are used over anime images when they are high quality. I'm pretty sure the policy is to use anime card images where they are images of the actual card over official website images. I don't actually have a link though, so if you can link me anything indicating otherwise, I am interested. -- Snorlax Monster  03:55, June 1, 2014 (UTC)
 * Preference in all cases is to use an actual card image unless it's pretty low quality; I don't mess with card images nearly enough to be able to provide solid examples of what constitutes "pretty low quality", though. I'll try to cajole another editor with more relevant experience over here to comment. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 10:03, June 1, 2014 (UTC)
 * Then would you say that the reason for using high-quality anime images over website images is so that the whole card can be seen? In that case, wouldn't high-quality anime images also be preferred over Tag Force images? What's the reasoning behind these two policies? Blueapple128 (talk • contribs) 02:15, June 2, 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, the general idea is that we want an image of the whole card when reasonable. As for anime versus TF images:
 * [9:17:38 PM | Edited 9:17:49 PM] Golden Key: We had eventually decided that we should go with anime images over TF images, but we never made a public statement.

Moving images
Follow the instructions in the Adding to queue topic. I say this because when you moved "Gamma The Magnet Warrior", you forgot to rename it in its Card Gallery page. (This will make moving images a lot easier.) Also, you don't have to "add to queue" unless you're doing a bunch of images located on a single page; just the "rename and replace" option will do for single images. --UltimateKuriboh (talk • contribs) 19:22, June 13, 2014 (UTC)

Out of Date
I was thinking about a way to mark "out of date" ruling instead of making a headline for them. What about making strikethrough line on them. Of course we will leave a note to explain why they are not applied. --Dlamash (talk • contribs) 09:07, June 17, 2014 (UTC)
 * I had thought about that too, but a strikethrough is actually used in some ruling reversals (see Card Rulings:Witch of the Black Rose, for example). I think the current method is better than strikethroughs, since there are times that strikethroughs are necessary. -- Snorlax Monster  09:28, June 17, 2014 (UTC)
 * The main reason they make a strikethrough is to tell people that this ruling is "out of date", If we put a note on every strikethrough ruling, we can tell people whether the ruling was strikethrough because konami said so in the PDF file, or because there is new lore that make this ruling out of date. the reference notes will be useful here. Other reason why I prefer the strikethrough is because some ruling has a part of it wrong, while the rest parts of the ruling is correct. If we only strikethrough the wrong/out of date part, it will be clear to every one what is wrong of the whole ruling, instead of moving it all down to the Out of Date headlin. --Dlamash (talk • contribs) 10:55, June 17, 2014 (UTC)
 * I like the idea of a strikethrough for rulings that are only partly wrong; I am weary of putting rulings in the "Out of Date" section for a minor reason and having people think the entire thing is wrong, when only a small part is. I think the out of date section is better for general use though. -- Snorlax Monster  11:08, June 17, 2014 (UTC)

It's also only going to work properly for non-English languages, since it adds the other language column; I could make it work for English though just by modifying a few lines of code. -- Snorlax Monster  16:11, June 20, 2014 (UTC)

This project would have the name given in the title and would only serve to communicate, not as an encyclopedia of yugioh

Divine Spark Dragon Stardust Sifr
Hi! I'm contacting you to talk about the edit I made on "Divine Spark Dragon Stardust Sifr". You said the effect of "Dark Resonator" only applies to itself while the effect os Sifr applies to every cards, once each, hence the difference of writing. But how about the text of "Number 12: Crimson Shadow Armor Ninja", "Gagagaguard" and "Aegis of the Ocean Dragon Lord"? Based on those texts, couldnt the (unofficial) translation of that line of the effect be like the one I included?

Annoying Orange (talk • contribs) 03:01, July 31, 2015 (UTC)
 * All of those cards apply an unlimited number of times, whereas "Divine Spark Dragon Stardust Sifr" only applies once for each card. The text you provided implies that once during that turn, you can prevent any number of cards from being destroyed. Instead, it's that each individual card cannot be destroyed once per turn. -- Snorlax Monster  04:14, July 31, 2015 (UTC)

As someone who keeps a close eye on changes in Spanish names due to how... wacky... they can be, I can tell you that the "Cíber" spelling didn't affect "Cyber Dragon" cards only. For some reason, spelling just kept on switching between "Cíber" and "Ciber", just like how they can't decide whether it's "Super"/"Súper", "Golem/Gólem" or "Samurai"/"Samurái".

Here´s a list of the rest of "Cíber" cards. Judging by their respective Card Database articles, their names remain untouched.
 * Cyber Prima
 * Cyber Summon Blaster
 * Cyber Phoenix
 * Cyber Gymnast
 * Cyber Kirin

According to the Card Database, we also have Cyber Shadow Gardna, Cyber Esper, Cyber Tutu and Cyber Ogre. There's also the database-only Cyber Soldier of Darkworld renaming, if one wants to take it into account.

As a bonus card, here's Cyber Raider.

Hope this helps... somehow. --AzureKesil (talk • contribs) 04:11, January 17, 2016 (UTC)

Blank pages
Why are pages like Koa'ki Meiru Powerhand blank? Pedroaraujo86 (talk • contribs) 19:47, January 3, 2016 (UTC)
 * It's a minor bug in Wikia that occurs sometimes. Null editing the page (saving an edit with no changes) usually fixes it. -- Snorlax Monster  02:59, January 4, 2016 (UTC)

Dark Burning Magic
Duelist Road Peice of Memory - Side Yugi Muto does not list or show Quick Play Spell Card : Dark Burning Magic as Number 15AX-JPY02.Please change the mistake because the card under that number is Normal Spell Card : Dark Burning Attack.The Card Artwork is very different for "starters" and the other thing is that you should never rush when distribute vital information to Yu-Gi-Oh players across the world !!!
 * "Dark Burning Magic" does not appear in Duelist Road -Piece of Memory- Side: Yugi Muto, it appears in Duelist Road -Piece of Memory- Side: Yami Yugi. I think you are confusing it with 15AX-JPM02, the Normal Spell Card "Dark Burning Attack". On the Duelist Road -Piece of Memory- Side: Yami Yugi page, "Dark Burning Magic" is correctly displayed as a Quick-Play Spell Card. -- Snorlax Monster  09:06, January 10, 2016 (UTC)

"Monster" vs. "monster"
Hi there. I'm taking care of set lists. The page for Tuner monsters is named "Tuner monster" the page for Flip monsters is named "Flip monster", but the page for Effect monsters is named "Effect Monster". In the lists, I'm using "Monster" (with a capital "M"), even if the monster is more than just an Effect monster. That means, for instance, in the case of Shaddoll Falco, its entry would be: "Flip Tuner Monster". Is this correct or should it be "Flip Tuner monster"? Pendulum (talk • contribs) 14:26, February 3, 2016 (UTC)
 * For "Tuner" and abilities, "monster" is not capitalized. For "Pendulum", "Effect", and monster card types (Ritual, Fusion, Synchro, Xyz), "Monster" is capitalized.
 * So it should be "Flip Tuner monster" in your example. Also, it should be "Tuner Synchro Monster" (and as such I would suggest "Tuner Pendulum Monster" for those, but I don't have any solid backing for that). To my knowledge those are all the composite ones, so let me know if you find one I missed. -- Snorlax Monster  14:37, February 3, 2016 (UTC)
 * Oh, I guess most things would have "Effect Tuner monster" etc. I don't believe there's any card text formatted that way, but uncapitalized is how I would suggest handling it. -- Snorlax Monster  14:38, February 3, 2016 (UTC)
 * Hum, so there is not problem in having the word "monster" and "Monster" on the same list? I only asked because both "Monster" and "monster" refer to the same thing: Monsters (or monsters), and for a matter of congruence within the same list.
 * And why is it "Tuner Synchro Monster"? For example, "Formula Synchron" lists [Machine/Synchro/Tuner/Effect], "Synchro" before "Tuner". The same applies to Pendulum Tuners, like "Nobledragon Magician". So, what's the reasoning I should apply to future cases? Pendulum (talk • contribs) 14:51, February 3, 2016 (UTC)
 * Though they also list "Effect" in the end, and they are called "Effect Tuner", so... It invalidates my argument. Pendulum (talk • contribs) 14:52, February 3, 2016 (UTC)
 * It's "Tuner Synchro Monster" due to the texts of cards like "Shooting Quasar Dragon". There's no particularly good reason to put "Effect" at the start, that's just how we do it (I guess we assume the "Effect" is the least descriptive part).
 * We don't have any card texts to indicate whether it should be "Flip Tuner monster" or "Tuner Flip monster", but everything other than "Synchro" so far goes before "Tuner" so I think "Flip Tuner monster" works. -- Snorlax Monster  14:56, February 3, 2016 (UTC)
 * Ah, right, right.
 * And what about the "Pendulum Tuner" vs. "Tuner Pendulum"? First you said I would suggest "Tuner Pendulum Monster", but now you're saying everything other than "Synchro" so far goes before "Tuner". So, which should I use? Sorry for being insisting, but I want to be perfectly clarified. Pendulum (talk • contribs) 15:05, February 3, 2016 (UTC)
 * Since Pendulum capitalizes "Monster", I'm assuming it should be handled like "Synchro". I'm making this up right now though; who knows what Konami will do. -- Snorlax Monster  15:18, February 3, 2016 (UTC)
 * Ok, true. Thanks for your help, man. Pendulum (talk • contribs) 15:21, February 3, 2016 (UTC)

Traditional Chinese Lists
Earlier today, I came across a post on YGOrganization.Com that informed us about the newest batch of Forbidden/Limited Lists...for the Traditional Chinese OCG. Here is the link. The question is, though, should I make a page for this? --''' Yes, it's PSYCHID! He talks! He does stuff!''' 17:42, March 1, 2016 (UTC)

Card pics
* uses PokéFlute* Hey Snorlax! I heard you were good at finding non-English card pics. Would you mind providing me some of your sources, since I deal with pics and galleries a lot as well? Could you provide me especially sites to find Italian and non-marked Spanish pics? Thanks. Becasita Pendulum (talk • contribs) 13:47, March 6, 2016 (UTC)
 * 90% of the time I just Google the set code of the specific card print I'm after and find the best image that way. However, Portuguese and Spanish are special cases. I have a hard enough time finding any Spanish images for a particular print let alone unwatermarked ones, which is why there are so many uploaded watermarked Spanish images.
 * There are two main places to check for Spanish card images: http://www.elrincondelduelista.com/ and the Spanish Wikia. The former appear to be watermarked, but you can get the unwatermarked image just by deleting the "-large_default" part of the URL. For example, to get the unwatermarked version of the image http://www.elrincondelduelista.com/704-large_default/sece-sp003-artistamigo-amigoburro.jpg just change it to http://www.elrincondelduelista.com/704/sece-sp003-artistamigo-amigoburro.jpg . You can do the same trick for Portuguese card images on http://www.dmgcardshop.com/ (although the text you have to remove might differ). Note that that Spanish site only has a few specific recent sets, so if you're looking for older images you probably want the Spanish Wikia; most of the images there are uploaded by AzureKesil (who is active here too), so if you're still stuck your best bet is to ask them. (A lot of the time I just don't find any though.)
 * Italian is much easier. I usually find good quality fairly easily from a Google search. Amazon.it usually has fairly good quality images. -- Snorlax Monster  10:57, March 7, 2016 (UTC)


 * Yeah, clear Spanish pics seem really hard to find. Thanks a lot, man! Becasita Pendulum (talk • contribs) 11:16, March 7, 2016 (UTC)

Forbidden and Limited Lists
Yeah, I understand your concerns with the message you left on my talk page. The reason I did it in multiple edits was because my internet is currently rather spotty, and does die out at random times. Since the differences table is quite big (given how many changes were made to the new banlist), I made it in installments, so that in the event my internet died on me, not all my work would be lost, and I can get back on the page and resume more or less where I left off once the internet returned. It's just something I did to make my own life easier, and given that I did everything on that differences table in one sitting, I don't think it's really an issue that people will get incomplete information from an incomplete table (since I finished the table soon after beginning it). As for a Sandbox, I never had a need to use one, I don't have any user subpages, and I would rather not make any if I can't see myself using them in the very long run, so I just don't want to make something that'll turn out to be clutter. I hope that answers your questions and concerns. (Lucafriz (talk • contribs) 01:27, March 17, 2016 (UTC))
 * I don't know why constant saving would be necessary with a spotty internet connection; you don't need a constant internet connection while editing, only when opening the page and when submitting it. On any good browser, you won't lose the contents of your edit if you submit but your computer cannot connect to the internet.
 * It's fine if you don't normally have a use for a Sandbox, but you just described a situation where one would be very helpful. You can just have it deleted when you're done with it. -- Snorlax Monster  11:45, March 17, 2016 (UTC)

Dark Mirror Force pic
Hi, Snorlax! May I ask you why you changed File:DarkMirrorForce-IOC-EN-UR-UE.png into File:DarkMirrorForceIOC-EN-UR-UE.jpg, on Card Gallery:Dark Mirror Force? Becasita Pendulum (talk • contribs) 10:05, March 18, 2016 (UTC)
 * There was a minor bug in my Gallery-generating script that wasn't consistently informing me of clashes, and I didn't notice it when I compared the changes. It's fixed now though, so it shouldn't happen again. -- Snorlax Monster  10:08, March 18, 2016 (UTC)
 * Ah, ok. Hum... So you can just generate the galleries automatically? Becasita Pendulum (talk • contribs) 10:21, March 18, 2016 (UTC)
 * I have a Python script that reads the card page and generates the Card Gallery pages. Unfortunately, due to the library it uses to pull the data from the webpage, and the fact that I have the Editions manually coded into it (requiring regular updates), it's not really practical for me to share it with other people. -- Snorlax Monster  10:30, March 18, 2016 (UTC)
 * Ah, sorry if I made it seem like I was just asking for it. My intention was looking for tips. That's interesting. I know some bits of Python; might try something one of these days. Becasita Pendulum (talk • contribs) 10:38, March 18, 2016 (UTC)
 * If you are interested in making one, I'm happy to share the code, so feel free to ask. -- Snorlax Monster  10:42, March 18, 2016 (UTC)
 * Hey, thanks! I might knock at your door soon, then. During the following week I'll probably be a bit busy, but after that I might try. Thank you. Becasita Pendulum (talk • contribs) 10:56, March 18, 2016 (UTC)


 * Hello again, Snorlax. Would you be willing to share your script for the galleries, please? I totally understand if you don't feel very comfortable to share it, you don't have to share it. But I would appreciate it. Though my knowledge on the matter is not great, so I doubt I could make something good out of it, to be honest. But maybe I could learn something. If it's similar to the Set Card List code one you provided to UltiK, I'll have to improve my knowledge a "wee" bit. But I like to learn stuff.

Galleries
Hey Snorlax. Could I ask you for a favour? If you have not engaged in any project and have the time/opportunity, could you give a look to the galleries of the cards released on the HERO Strike and Synchron Extreme Structure Decks, please? Some of the cards have very poor galleries, like Card Gallery:R - Righteous Justice or Card Gallery:A Hero Lives, for instance. Sorry if it seems I'm throwing work at you, but I'm a bit sick of doing galleries and I don't like to ignore wrong stuff when I see it, and since you have that script, hence why I'm addressing to you. But, please, don't see it like I'm just throwing work at you that I don't want to do. Thanks. Becasita Pendulum (talk • contribs) 13:48, March 21, 2016 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the late reply. I do intend to share it with you at some point, but I'm going to have to look into the best way to do that. I currently have 4 files (the main one imports from the other 3), so I can't just post the code here like I did with the code above. If I haven't sent it to you in a month, poke me again. -- Snorlax Monster  07:28, April 11, 2016 (UTC)


 * Oops, I missed this post! Sorryyyy!! You could have poked me with the Talkback. If I don't reply to some message in 5 days or so and I am still editing here, it's probably because I didn't notice it.
 * Just want to say thank you and that, if you want, I could give you some other contact of mine, if it's easier for you to share it through other means. Becasita Pendulum (talk • contribs) 19:29, April 18, 2016 (UTC)

Watermark
How did you tell whether the following image I scanned has a watermark? http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/File:Token-TKN3-SP-C-UE-Lamb.png

Also please check this page to discuss the misprint question at the bottom: http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Talk:Misprint

Make sure you read the notice at the top. Thanks Fensterhoff (talk • contribs) 01:24, April 11, 2016 (UTC)
 * Yeah, looks like I tagged that as watermarked by mistake. I was tagging some images at the same time that did have watermarks, and it looks like I didn't remove the watermark tag when copy/pasting.
 * When I get around to reading the Misprint talk page, I'll reply there. -- Snorlax Monster  07:28, April 11, 2016 (UTC)

Card pic upload
There's something I want to share with you, since you upload lots of pics:

By filling the  parameter with card name and copying that to the file description, that template will get the parameters of the OCG-TCG card image template filled automatically. I think this might be especially useful for you, since you usually deal with individual card galleries and, as you can see, the code is the same for different card pics of the same card. Except some nuances, that's why the  and the   parameters exist.

You can check more info on it at this page. Hope it's helpful.

If you find any problem with it, please alert me. Becasita Pendulum (talk • contribs) 19:29, April 18, 2016 (UTC)
 * I tend to just use

from a text file I have saved to my computer if I'm doing that kind of thing. More frequently I just do it manually though. "alt" and "release" are rare enough that doing those manually is not a significant burden. -- Snorlax Monster  09:59, April 19, 2016 (UTC)

Just to tell you that I added a new parameter. Might be helpful for you since you also deal with pics named following the old Image policy.

In that case, besides the  parameter, you just need to fill the   parameter (with , for instance) and it will get everything into place.

I was also using something similar to what you're using, but I needed something more automatic, you know? But I re-upload stuff like proxies and so. Becasita Pendulum (talk • contribs) 10:57, April 22, 2016 (UTC)

Hi Snorlax

I actually said that I looked on the official website the names and lores of Cards in English. I was just translating the right way for the Portuguese-Brazilian. However, the Ultimate Kuriboh told me that in the post, so I stopped translating.Lucasnun18 (talk • contribs) 14:49, April 26, 2016 (UTC)

Bot run
Hey Snorlax. Could you set a bot run to change  into   and   into , please? I tried to do it manually with AWB when the pages were renamed, but there are just tons of instances on the "Card Tips" namespace. Becasita Pendulum (talk • contribs) 11:23, April 30, 2016 (UTC)

The Winged Dragon of Ra (original)
Oh, right! And what about the others (Slifer and Obelisk)? They also link to wrong navbox pages. But you have edited Slifer in the past and that was there, so I'm not sure if I should remove it. Becasita Pendulum (talk • contribs) 11:26, May 3, 2016 (UTC)
 * Those two don't currently have their own errata pages. They could if we wanted to note the changes in Limitation Text though (which are the same as Ra's). -- Snorlax Monster  11:43, May 3, 2016 (UTC)
 * Ah, I see, I see. But isn't it inconvenient that one person is checking the "(original)" version of one of the cards and then can't get back to them easily, after going into "Trivia", for instance? I added the  parameter to Navigation on the "Trivia" of [ both] of [ them]. I don't want to add it to another namespaces without having the agreement of an admin on this. So what do you say? Though I confess I don't like the solution of having to add   to it. But  is protected, so I couldn't even try to find a better way.
 * And, on a different matter would you be willing to ask for admin rights to your bot to get stuff like this deleted? Doing it manually would be really boring, I believe. Becasita Pendulum (talk • contribs) 17:46, May 3, 2016 (UTC)

Re: Time Stream
From what I understand, it trying to stated the use of your own monster and the monster from the opponent's Graveyard after using "Fossil Fusion". The first part is tricky since there is no card with that kind of text. The reason I don't go with same Type is that the Fusion Monster require Warrior and a Rock Type monster for its Material. From the text (相手墓地のモンスターの種族), monster Type of the opponent's Graveyard, (対象種族) target Type which means your own monster Type, and finally, (そのモンスターが融合対象) fusion target of that monster meaning Fusion Monster own Material. To makes thing easy, how about this "Target 1 "Cenozoic" or "Mesozoic" Fusion Monster you control, that used a different monster Type for its fusion". This way, it cut out a literally translation. Though I did kind of ran into issues with the explanation from using "Mesozoic" into "Paleozoic", since "Mesozoic" isn't actually fused by using your own monster Type and the monster Type from the opponent's Graveyard.

Several stuff
Hi Snorlax! Hum, sorry to bother you with this again, but could you set another bot run to change  to , please? You only need to go through the "Card Tips" namespace, the rest is cleared. I'd do it but it's about 135 pages and... Well, you know, I have other stuff I'd like to do around.

Another thing is, since I'm writing you, I'll take this opportunity to poke you regarding your gallery script. It's one month tomorrow, hence why I'm bringing this up now, instead of writing you again tomorrow. Again, you don't have to share it with me. If you don't want to, please just say you don't want to. No worries, sincerely, Snorlax. If you do not mind sharing it, what would be the most convenient way for you to pass it? But again, you don't have to. I don't want you to feel obligated to do so or something.

Independently, thanks a lot for your time and patience and for setting the last bot run I asked you! Becasita Pendulum (talk • contribs) 20:20, May 10, 2016 (UTC)

Dark Sanctuary
Regarding [ this edit] of yours: The text is worded like "If you place a 'Spirit Message' card by the effect of 'Destiny Board', you can Special Summon that card as a Normal Monster". Doesn't that mean that you can only Special Summon it if it was placed on the field? Like, place it on the field; then Special Summon it.

To be like you're saying, shouldn't it be worded like "If you would place a 'Spirit Message' card by the effect of 'Destiny Board', you can Special Summon that card as a Normal Monster instead" (the "instead" is not really necessary for what I want to demonstrate here).

I don't know what the Japanese text says, nor how it's worded, but I feel like the English text and that edit of yours are not in agreement. If I'm looking at it in the wrong way, what am I missing? Becasita Pendulum (talk • contribs) 11:20, May 19, 2016 (UTC)

"Jam Defender"
Hey Snorlax,

My apologies for removing this card's Japanese lore; however, since its lore doesn't reflect what the card does in the anime, is it necessary to add it to the page? I know that we note what is printed on the card; however, there are inconsistencies between various anime card pages that have different effects than what is printed on the card. The page of the earlier anime version of "Toon World" is an example. Even though its lore is identical to its OCG lore prior to its errata, we didn't include it on that page. The reconstructed lore parameter is present on that page as well. Should we also modify that page? My apologies for all of the questions; thank you very much for your time, --ToonPegasus (talk • contribs) 14:00, June 24, 2016 (UTC)

Union as Anti Support?
Sorry if i have problems to understand that, but why does this monsters has Anti-Support for Union Monsters? Is it because of the "can only be attach with one Union monster" I thought that was changed in the rules recently --hanmac (talk • contribs) 05:58, October 9, 2016 (UTC)
 * Newer Union monsters that don't have that text (and presumably older Union monsters that get reprinted, but we haven't had any yet in the TCG) no longer have that text, but all the cards that still have the text still apply that condition. So you cannot equip "A-Assault Core" to a monster that is already equipped with "Oilman" (or vice versa), but you can equip "A-Assault Core" to a monster already equipped with "B-Buster Drake". -- Snorlax Monster  06:02, October 9, 2016 (UTC)
 * so if the images of Y and Z in the new structure deck show that they don't have the text any more they will be updated right? (Very confusing) --hanmac (talk • contribs) 06:16, October 9, 2016 (UTC)
