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)


 * Sorry about those screw-ups and fixing the "Valkyrie" page. I did the same thing at "XX-Saber", but I think I fixed it. Not really sure what I did that caused that. Seems I somehow moved a page to the same name multiple times. <_< Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 03:17, April 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * It's possible you inadvertently double-clicked the "Rename page" button on the move page. I do that every once in a while with the "Publish"/"Save changes" button on edit screens, and thus edit-conflict myself. ;) 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 03:22, April 15, 2011 (UTC)

Infobox colours
We slightly touched on this before, but for a different reason. Would you be able to add more infobox colours? We currently only have two: grey (type-character) and blue (type-animanga) and use a number of different infoboxes. -- Deltaneos (talk) 14:52, May 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * I don't see any particular reason not to, but I'm not too good at picking good color schemes - do you have anything in mind?
 * More generally, I've never been particularly fond of the current system we have for infoboxes; the modularity is largely just added complexity considering our needs, and the lack of any sort of metatemplate means an inordinate amount of work, not just when creating new infoboxes, but even just when updating current ones. I'd like to replace our Infobox with Wikipedia's and start updating our templates to use it, and I could customize it some (both in how it works and how it's styled) if that's wanted. 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 16:02, May 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * The primary and secondary colours at least. One dark and one light shade would be needed for each type-. If you did at least one or two to start with, it should be easy for anyone else to copy-paste and change colours.
 * Are you thinking of changing the appearance of the current infoboxes or just making the setup simpler? iBox is a series of metatemplates that can be used to make infoboxes like the current ones, but it's still different than the Wikipedia one. You can see examples of it being used on w:c:souleater:Template:Infobox/SoulEater/Episode and w:c:naruto:Template:Infobox/Jutsu. -- Deltaneos (talk) 17:40, May 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * I mean, any particular color systems for particular types of infoboxes. Beyong basic thematic elements, color schemes tend to be rather arbitrary, and if there's one thing I'm not good at, it's making up my mind in the absence of direction (as you can see from my ongoing template projects =D ). ;)
 * My proposal would change their appearance, yes, but we could always modify the styles (and, if necessary, Infobox itself) to get close to the current styles back, if that's what people would prefer. I've looked over the iBox templates a little bit, not enough to really understand how they look, but my impression thus far has been that they are somewhat more complicated than they need to be (but that may just be me). 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 17:49, May 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * Meh, the more I think about it, the better one colour for all infoboxes sounds. (Two is fine either.)
 * Would you like to create a sandbox example? -- Deltaneos (talk) 22:34, May 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * Any such example would just be a copy of Wikipedia's infobox metatemplate. I could set up a sandbox example anyways if you're looking to experiment with the styles, though. 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 23:33, May 30, 2011 (UTC)

? cards I listed all have "ス" in Jap "Kana". They're all pronounced as "S" not "TH"
I found two cards that have "su"(ス) in its name: "Clear Vice Dragon", "Neos"◄(ネオ(ス)), "Elemental Hero Plasma Vice"◄(マン= man), "Vice Berserker"◄(バイ(ス)), and "Vice Dragon". "su" is "s" not "th".--Wasn&#39;t (talk • contribs) 02:06, June 1, 2011 (UTC)

Had to share this with someone
I just spent a half hour trying to figure out what I had screwed up when renaming some files at Card Gallery:Elemental HERO Thunder Giant, since two images were not showing up. Turns out the images weren't there to begin with, but someone put them there as placeholders. That worked fine when blank images displayed there, but now nothing displays. I am beyond pissed right now. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 23:53, June 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * No kidding; it really doesn't look at this point like Wikia is going to fix galleries not displaying placeholders for images that haven't been uploaded yet. =P 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 01:57, June 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * And the 'Add an image to this gallery' button is unnecessary. 1) (I think) it's the source of those resized images of the images we already have; then they are deleted 2) It doesn't display a notice; the Image Policy one at Special:Upload. -Falzar FZ- (talk page|useful stuff) 02:04, June 4, 2011 (UTC)

 * Aren't we allowed to edit the global js pages to hide or display minor things like these by default? -Falzar FZ- (talk page|useful stuff) 02:09, June 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * I think we'd have to ask Wikia about that. I'd rather not get in trouble if it turns out to be like picture attribution back before they relented on that. 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 02:37, June 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * You can add  to the   tag to surpress the button. I only see the button used by people who end up making a mess of the gallery. e.g. trying to add an English gallery by clicking the button in the Japanese gallery. They can learn a lot more from seeing the edit page source. -- Deltaneos (talk) 11:52, June 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * Is that something we have to do from now on, adding   to every gallery? Wilimut Talk Mail Paris, 11:57, June 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * I certainly hope not. We should ask Wikia if we can suppress the button's display through CSS before running around and adding that to all the galleries (and with any luck, not only will they say "yes", but they'll have a way to shut the feature off for us server-side, so the button never even gets added to the page in the first place). 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 16:17, June 4, 2011 (UTC)

Synced pages
When you change any of the pages that are synced from Animepedia remember to list "yugioh" as an exclusion on the Animepedia version or make the changes there too if necessary. Otherwise AnimeBot could overwrite your changes in the future. -- Deltaneos (talk) 18:29, June 4, 2011 (UTC)

 * RFAs aren't really something that can be handled with a simple "support"/"oppose", though; especially for "oppose" !votes, you should leave some reasoning wo the candidate understands why you're opposing (and, hopefully, is able to use it to improve as an editor). Sometimes I don't really have much trouble coming up with my own reasoning, but most of the time it's a struggle for me to find something to say that isn't simply a rehash of someone else's !vote. 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 22:02, June 4, 2011 (UTC)

 * Another habit from my days on Wikipedia. Wikipedians (and, more generally, Wikimedians) subscribe to the philosophy that voting is evil, so stuff like RFAs and deletion discussions are not referred to as "votes". At the same time, though, "comment" doesn't really adequately describe when an editor supports or opposes in such discussions, so the terminology "!vote" came to be used instead - it is meant to be read "not vote" or "not-vote" (see also wikipedia:Wikipedia:Glossary). ;) 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 22:42, June 4, 2011 (UTC)

Archsupport in CardTable2
Could you add a sixth parameter for that? If a card supports all HEROes, it should be listed as such with "HERO" and all five sub-archetypes.

Template:CardTable2
Try to avoid using switches if at all possible please. Switches + SMW equal really, really bad performance that threatens the wiki and network health. Can what you wish to be done occur without switch statements? It looked like it was working fine with just ifs? --daNASCAT http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 20:56, June 8, 2011 (UTC)


 * I've been wondering how long it would take me to finally do something to get Wikia techs on my ass. =D I could replicate exactly what I was doing with #switches, using only #ifs, but it wouldn't be pretty. On the other hand, I'd have no problem for now, keeping to the older #if style until this problem can be fixed (and on that note, I'm curious as to just what unfortunate coding idiosyncrasy causes SMW being used in #switch outputs to cause fatal timeouts (is it some bug with SMW, ParserFunctions, or both? is it some weird PHP/MySQL thing? do I even have any idea what I'm talking about? =3 )). 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 22:12, June 8, 2011 (UTC)

 * The switch parameter I believe is counted as an "expensive" parser function where as if is not.

Part of the issue is the way we're caching queries, which is something we're going to try experimenting with in a few weeks. --daNASCAT http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 14:55, June 9, 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)

Deleting revisions
Deleting and selective restoring pages can cause the number of page views to reset and can't be undone.

Another tracking parameter question

 * 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)

Cardtable for another wiki
I dont usually visit here, but its something I've kinda needed for a while now.

While the wiki isn't quite as big as this one (Then again, most are'nt...), I have needed to experiment with changing the current table for a while now. While at times I have added new categories and such to it and expanded bits and pieces...I was never quite about to figure out how to force an image re-size on it.

While the wiki already uses a random assortment of images for card sizes...I try to get them around a certain area.

So basically my question was that if you had the time if you could take a look at Duel Masters CardTable2 and see if there was anything quick you would add to it.

Based on edits to the yu-gi-oh table, you seemed to be the guy to ask. Deltaneos had previously helped me to build the current table back in 08. Thanks for your time.Yami Michael (talk • contribs) 15:55, June 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hey Yami Michael, I've actually seen that table before. ;)
 * The simplest way would be to change  to.
 * If, however, you want to cap the width at a certain value, you'll need somewhat more complicated code:.
 * And, if you want to catch bad values of "width", it gets a bit more complicated:  (in all this code, keep in mind that you'll be replacing "###" with the width you want as default).

Need a little Housekeeping done.
Contributer is User:Macdaddyc

He started uploading batches of images with the filenames being just a string of numbers. I have already marked those files to be Merged with the proper files but cannot do that part myself (Merge is just my suggestion, if you feel deletion is proper course of action then go for it) He also needs to be sent to the corner to review the Image Naming Policies as he was also editing the YS11 Gallery to point to those files which would make it significantly harder for someone to find the proper file to update to. (That has also been corrected.)


 * Additionally, This contributer has been around long enough to be more than aquainted with the image naming policies.


 * I originally was going to send this to User:Bluedog187 since he has dealt with this contributer in the past but I noticed he is currently inactive just in time.


 * BTW why does the system treat .jpg files as different from .JPG files (and I assume .png from .PNG)

Glittersword Talk • Contributions 00:16, July 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hey Glittersword, it would be better to use Rename media or OCG-TCG card image when tagging images to be renamed (currently, none of the suggested names have the "File:" prefix, so it's a bit harder to check for existing images). I'll try to have a look at these in the next few days, if no one else gets to them first. 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 01:09, July 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * That might be so but I believe with the merge option he would still have credit for his contribution. With rename it would say that the page is already existing and I would think it would overwrite the history. Sorry I didn't think about adding in the "File:" portion I assumed that would be taken care of automatically like when the files are created to begin with.  I will keep the OCG-TCG card image tag in mind in the future.  Although I might not have considered it applicable since it wasn't going FROM a OCG name but I see now how it would have worked.  Glittersword  Talk • Contributions 16:33, July 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * Renaming files always keeps their history; if there's already a file uploaded with the suggested file name, though, both files have to be reviewed to see if one is a duplicate or higher-quality or what-have-you, rather than just blindly moving the tagged file over the original.
 * Merge is meant to be used only on articles and such, not files, so it doesn't have any functionality to add a "File:" prefix when used on files. I'll probably fix that, though, since there may well be legitimate cases for merging files...

Thank you for the clairfication, Would you mind giving me a bit of a walkthrough on how to make personal deck lists the proper way? I'm new to having an account although I have used YuGiOh wikia alot in the past.


 * Well, I don't do much with decks myself on here, but generally, you'll want to use Decklist for listing the cards in a deck; usage instructions can be found by following that link. If you're looking for opinions or improvement suggestions on decks, it's generally best to post them in Forum:Yu-Gi-Oh!

Galleries
Hey there, nice to finally get to chat with you. Yeah your idea for streamlining the galleries with your design in your boilerplate would be wonderful. A question I have is how does it read in the info like card name, rarity, alt. name, etc. for the gallery. Would it read it from an existing list or from the card's specific page it self? Keep me informed on your progress! ^-^ Look234 (talk • contribs) 17:44, July 23, 2011 (UTC)

I was wondering if something would be possible.
Is there a way for the gallery page for a card to be auto-created by the system using the information on the main mage and kept updated by the system? Sort of like triggering a bot for the page creation that looks at the info on the main page to extrapolate the proper file names to be used. Glittersword Talk • Contributions 21:34, July 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately, no, the Gallery extension doesn't work with wikimarkup in any way that would let us do so (and we currently don't put cards' set information into SMW properties, though that is definitely something I'm wanting to change). On the other hand, it may be possible to write a bot that could create Card Gallery pages, though that's well beyond my capabilities at this time. 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 22:10, July 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * It just seems to that the more mundane and repetitive aspects that we can automate the better. It would make things more consistent and less error prone.  Sure some of the more COMPLICATED cards might need a little personal intervention after the fact (After all this game seems to be expanding in seven directions at once sometimes.) we need to get and keep the actual skeleton under tight control.  For example some gallery pages I know don't work anymore because they were created with an old Gallery format.  Gallery changed but weeding out all of those old galleries is going to be a pain by hand.  When we think they are all done one more will raise it's sneaky haid from out of its hidy-hole.

Missing page
"Armored Ninjitsu: Quick Teleport" has teleported off of the wiki. It was moved so many times that the actual card page appears to have vanished. Every variation of the name leads to redirect. I may just be missing the actual page, but I can't seem to find it. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 18:41, July 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * Which I found it oddly and amuse at same time, "Quick Teleport" just referring to it had been gone from this site. -- F  r  e  d  C  a  t  18:43, July 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * Actually I found it. Nevermind. "Armored Ninjitsu Art: Quick Teleport". Once we get an actual page name, we need to fix the double redirects. But that may not happen yet, since there seems to be debate on whether its "Ninjitsu", "Ninjutsu" "Ninja Art", "Ninja Arts" or "Ninjitsu Art". Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 18:45, July 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * All right, cool. Just for the record, Wiktionary claims ninjitsu to be a common misspelling of ninjutsu (this is supported by the romaji reading given on 忍術), and if translated separately, the kanji "忍" and "法" could indeed result in the phrase "ninja art(s)", though "ninjutsu" seems by far the more common rendering. "Ninjitsu art" is just repetitive, since "jutsu" translates to "art". 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 18:56, July 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * Mispelling or not there are already two existing cards which use "Ninjitsu", which makes me think we should be use "Ninjitsu" for these anime cards as well. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 19:12, July 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * And there don't seem to be any which use "ninjutsu" in their names (though there's at least one that uses that spelling in its lore). I also note that the two cards you pointed out use the repetitive "ninjitsu art". That's a pretty compelling argument in favor of using "Ninjitsu Art", though there's always the possibility that Konami will decide not to continue the trend started by UDE. 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 19:19, July 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * I didn't even notice that part, actually. So then we should use "Ninjitsu Art" and use "Ninja Art" for the trans parameter. Also, keep in mind that per "Armored Ninjitsu Art: Gold Conversion", this is an archetype. Do the two existing Ninjitsu Art cards have the right kanji to be members? There's also no guarantee they'll release all these support cards. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 19:24, July 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * Sounds good to me (I was going to argue in favor of just using "Ninjutsu" in the trans parameter, but "Ninja Art" sounds better considering the two-part names we're working with).
 * Yep, even the furigana matches up (between the card names, at least; it isn't clear whether Gold Conversion's effect explicitly requires certain furigana). 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 19:44, July 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * It seems that Master D originally moved the articles and came to the same conclusion about what the name should be as we did. So that's all done and I created the archetype page. On a related note, maybe you can help me with the "Armored Ninjas". When I created the card articles for them, I did not add them to the "Ninja" archetype, as their names did not appear to me to contain the right characters. Apparently someone else did. I think they ARE members, considering the effects of the some of the "Ninjitsu Art" cards Yamikawa played, but I cannot figure out WHY they are members based on the characters. I would like to have that information before creating the archetype page. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 21:34, July 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * "Ninja" support cards call for cards with the text "" in their Japanese card names, meaning the "Armored Ninja" monsters receive support from these cards and are therefore also part of the "Ninja" archetype (I can't say anything on whether their association with certain characters would or would not make them thematic members of the archetype, though). The "Ninjitsu Art" cards, on the other hand, are only "Ninja" support cards, because their names do not contain "". 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 23:12, July 26, 2011 (UTC)

 * BTW: is there any way to mark out a line as a remark so it isn't parsed?


 * Glittersword Talk • Contributions 17:00, July 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yeah, our templates take advantage of lots of really advanced functionality so that we can do some really nifty things with them. =)
 * First and foremost, keep in mind that you can play around to your heart's content on Project:Sandbox, Template:Sandbox (create it if you want to use it ;) ), and in your own userspace; edits made to these places won't have a direct impact on any other part of the site, so you can make whatever changes you'd like to help you get the hang of things.
 * Next, to do much good editing most of our templates, you'll need to understand at minimum how to use ParserFunctions. We also make very heavy use of StringFunctions and Semantic MediaWiki, and you should always keep a link to mw:Help:Magic words for reference.
 * This all, of course, assumes that you already have a reasonable grasp on how templates and transclusion work.
 * This is a lot to work through, I know, but don't give up, and don't think you have to know everything - I've been at this for almost 5 years, and there's still stuff that surprises me or that I have to look up (certainly with StringFunctions and SMW, which I didn't work with until I became really active here in 2009 or so (has it really been that long? o_O ), but also with ParserFunctions and even working with template parameters and transclusion). If you need help understanding something, just ask - there's no shame in it, and maybe in the process of helping you, I can learn something myself. =)
 * Now, about marking lines so they're not parsed: As you probably saw me do above, one way to do so is with the &lt;nowiki/> tag (the &lt;pre/> tag around it is just for presentation) - this prevents anything from being parsed, and can be used on individual characters or whole pages. Another method, which I used earlier in this paragraph, is to escape individual characters using HTML character entity references - e.g. to escape a "<" (less-than sign), you would write  in the page's source: "&lt;" (if you want to instead display the actual escape code, you replace the "&" with  : "&amp;" (and yes, this means you can end up with ridiculous chains of escape codes:   =D ))
 * After all this, if there's anything specific you need help with, just ask (yep, I already said that, but it never hurts to repeat yourself IMHO ;) ). 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 22:18, July 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * (I was edit conflict'd, so some of this will be a repeat of what Dinoguy has already said.)
 * If you put  before the syntax and   after it, it won't get parsed. e.g.   displays as " {{PAGENAME}} ", not the name of the page.
 * If you want to get started on learning template stuff, there's a few basic things you can practice on your other wiki:
 * Adding  to a page will transclude (almost) everything from the page "Template:Example".
 * When you use, it will transclude Template:Example and replace every instance of " " with "Hello".
 * can be put in "Template:Example". If you use  on another page it will display as 'Text to display if "x=something" is used' since "x=something" was used. If you use   or   it will display as 'Text to display if x is empty or unused', since x was empty or unused.
 * I'm not very good at explaining stuff to people who are totally new to it, so you can see mw:Help:Templates and mw:Help:Extension:ParserFunctions for hopefully better explanations and more information. -- Deltaneos (talk) 22:35, July 27, 2011 (UTC)

Looking at Special:RecentChanges, the only infobox edits in the past week I'm seeing are the ones I just got done making (I started these after SMW was shut off, apparently, given that I was no longer getting timeouts on previews/saves, but I didn't actually see your comment until now - how's that for serendipity? =D ). On the other hand, I could see my earlier edits to Unofficial name/category being enough to flood the caches, but I was experiencing timeouts before then as well.

 * I wouldn't recommend renaming the pages.
 * The simplest fix I'm aware of is changing the ordermethod to "created", which would order the archives by the date they were created. But if any discussion page for example creates "Archive 2" before "Archive 1", which isn't as unlikely as it sounds, the order would be messed-up there. Although the likelihood of that is probably less than the likelihood of a page having at least ten archives.You could also create a manual list that you update yourself every time you create a new archive. We've all done that for our own talk pages. -- Deltaneos (talk) 20:23, August 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * I believe all the Archives were created in order, so the first option D-Neos listed would probably be the best, and would the fix also apply to future archives, like Archive 11,12, etc.? If not I can just start on creating a new Archive System, like the one on my talk page. -- - Dark Ace SP™ ( Talk )  04:02, August 8, 2011 (UTC)

 * Never mind to pretty much everything, I got my questions answered, and there shouldn't be problems from placing the Navbox code directly on the page, correct? -- - Dark Ace SP™ ( Talk )  02:32, August 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * Whether you want the navbar on or off depends on whether you keep the archive box on the DFF page or put it on its own page, and that depends on whether you want the archive box just on the main DFF page or whether you also want it on all of the archive pages: if you want it on all the pages, it's far easier to keep everything updated if the box has its own page, since updating that one page will also update all the pages transcluding it. In that case, the navbar just serves as a simple way to have access to the box's page to make updates - if the box is placed directly on the DFF page, the navbar would serve no purpose. (I hope that all made sense; I kind of rambled through that and maybe didn't explain myself all that well)
 * I'll get the archives renamed in a second, if no one else got them already. 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 18:01, August 9, 2011 (UTC)

Gallery Connect Name Conflict
So not just SMW is down, Gallery's Name reference (in language) also failed to connect to correct languages, like for Germany Painful Return -- F  r  e  d  C  a  t  01:11, August 8, 2011 (UTC)

Trishula
Not sure if seriously, Pojo leader who rated this dragon in their "Card of the Day" declared "Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier" 'She', so is that ok if I threw "Female" in Trishula's misc? I only wish to ask you about it. -- F  r  e  d  C  a  t  15:55, August 8, 2011 (UTC)


 * "Trishula" has always struck me as a female name (not sure why, exactly; that's just how it sounds to me). The real question is whether it's referred to as female in the anime/manga/any video games (this may be easier to establish from the Japanese version, since Japanese uses gender-differentiated pronouns). 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 17:47, August 8, 2011 (UTC)

Patrol
Didn't want to clog up the forum discussion with this and don't want to comment there until I have this answered. What is autopatrolled? I've seen the logs for a few times when messing around with general logs, but haven't been able to figure out what it's used for. Oddly enough, I never heard about it when I was on Wikipedia. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 00:22, August 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * "Autopatrol" is a user right which automatically marks a given editor's new pages as patrolled (search for "autopatrol" on Special:ListGroupRights), which in turn prevents those pages from being listed on Special:NewPages, once you click "Hide patrolled edits" there. Special:NewPages, in turn, lists every page that has recently been created on the wiki (except for files, which are covered by Special:NewFiles, and thus allows admins a quick way to look through new pages for stuff that needs cleaned up or just deleted. When you click on a page from Special:NewPages (if you're an administrator), you are taken to that page, and a "mark this page as patrolled" link appears in the bottom-right corner that otherwise does not appear.
 * Unfortunately, because of the way patrolling and Special:NewPages works, the special page is the only way to check for unpatrolled pages and to mark them as patrolled (not that this really has much to do with anything; I just figured it'd be a logical question for you to ask ;) ).
 * Some other information can be found at meta:Help:Patrolled edit, though note that Wikia does not seem to have $wgUseRCPatrol set to "true", so parts about patrolling individual edits, or patrolling pages from RecentChanges, don't apply here. 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 00:39, August 23, 2011 (UTC)

Feminine on Male Cards
I am wondering why you decided to spamming those female misc on some cards that are already discussing to be MALE in first place? -- F  r  e  d  C  a  t  00:14, August 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm looking through the cards listed on an old version of the list (shortly before most of the manually-maintained sections were replaced with SMW queries) for cards listed but not tagged as female. If I come across such a card, and it is not obviously male/I don't recall it being specifically discussed, I tag it as female. My basic reasoning is, it's easier for someone to notice it in the list and ask about it or point out a mistaken tagging then it is to try and remember that it's possibly female but not tagged. 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 00:18, August 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * "Future Samurai" is referring as male due to "square chin" or whatever D-Neos called it. Therefore I reverted your edit and put in latest image. -- F  r  e  d  C  a  t  00:22, August 26, 2011 (UTC)

Out of sheer curiosity...
...why are you adding the female parameter to non-monster cards. I honestly never would have thought of doing so and always assumed it was exclusively for monsters. I don't have a problem with you adding them to Spells and Traps but it really doesn't make sense to me. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 06:30, August 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * Well, List of female cards has listed non-Monster Cards for longer than I've been involved in it. Looking quickly through its history, it seems the first Spell and Trap Cards were added to it in 2007, so this actually predates the majority of my involvement on the whole wiki. Besides that, non-Monster Cards often feature characters and monsters that are never featured on Monster Cards, and many of these are female; there's little point in noting female monsters on Monster Cards but not on Spell and Trap Cards, IMHO. 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 06:38, August 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * Like a hand in some bug-squishing killer "Spell Card"? Yea, I gotta agree with you, Phillip. -- F  r  e  d  C  a  t  15:22, August 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * I suppose it just seems strange to me. When you put "female" on a monster, it means the monster is female. Doing the same on Spells and Traps implies that the Spell/Trap itself is female, not what happens to be in the image with what may or may not be the Spell/Trap. I guess it's the parameter name that makes it murky for me. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 16:02, August 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * I suppose that Phillip is referring to the image of the card, not the card itself. -- F  r  e  d  C  a  t  16:04, August 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * I know. I'm saying the parameter name makes no sense if that's the case. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 16:15, August 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * Before I simplified the headers, they all contained the phrase "Female-related", if thinking about it in that way helps any. Another thing to consider is that there are a number of Monster Cards featuring multiple monsters; even if only one or two of these is female, the card itself is still tagged as female. If it weren't for the fact that it could cause some potential ambiguity itself, I would probably suggest we start using "Female-related" as the parameter value. 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 16:32, August 26, 2011 (UTC)
