Not all related cards show up in ArchetypeNavBox
I noticed there's this problem still. Is this reported or there is some change we need to make?

One archetype for example that doesn't have all the related cards for it is Archfiend. Pandemonium is listed as a support card but it's not listed in the NavBox on the Archfiend page.

 * The "Archfiend" page was renamed recently. It used to be at the plural "Archfiends". Pages like "Pandemonium" are still using  and the system doesn't handle redirects like it used to. They need to be changed to   to appear on the navbox. -- Deltaneos (talk) 13:06, June 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * Ah thanks for that information. I won't actively help fix pages that have that problem, but I will help when I happen to be looking at the archetype. I assume you mean  without the plural form. --Xsamuraizx (talk • contribs) 22:04, June 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * Oh yeah, sorry. That's what I meant. Thanks. -- Deltaneos (talk) 22:05, June 2, 2011 (UTC)

5D's 152
do you have an HD RAW for 5d's episode 152?? (Yusuke89 (talk • contribs) 21:57, June 1, 2011 (UTC))


 * No. Sorry. -- Deltaneos (talk) 22:04, June 1, 2011 (UTC)

"Missing the Timing"
Some unregistered user continued to ignoring my order about not put up some non-official proof in that article, can you give him some word about the reason why it is not official? It's about "/Assault Mode" being missing time. -- F  r  e  d  C  a  t  10:34, June 2, 2011 (UTC)

Rumours of my demise are greatly exaggerated.
Good to see the place in good nick. Solid work.--TwoTailedFox (My Talk Page) 22:59, June 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * Wow, Fox! It is awesome to see you back here. Thank you. How are things? -- Deltaneos (talk) 23:02, June 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * Things are very good. Allow me to explain my admittedly abrupt departure. I had been living in a flat with some former friends, and I had to sell off my collection to raise the funds required to eat 3 square meals a day. It basically took the fun out of what I had. Looking around, I'm quite impressed with what's here. Sad to see what happened to UDE, from what I gather from reading the Forum here, it's causing a few headaches.--TwoTailedFox (My Talk Page) 23:13, June 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * Ow, that sucks. Hope you're back on your feet now. -- Deltaneos (talk) 00:29, June 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hey Fox, I'm not sure if you remember me, but I was active for a few months back in 2007-2008 and we talked (well, more participated in the same discussions) to a degree; it's really cool seeing you back here (though it sucks hearing you had to sell off your collection; I'd hate to have to do the same with my own)! =D 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 04:35, June 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * I do indeed remember you. I'm certainly back on my feet, more or less curious as to what's changed since my departure (Still a fan of the anime, though).--TwoTailedFox (My Talk Page) 17:00, June 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * Well, a few months ago, I completed a rewrite of CardTable2 and am now working off-and-on on another rewrite; I've created OCG-TCG card image to semiautomatically display various information on image pages for OCG/TCG cards and add maintenance tags and categories as necessary; and am working (also off-and-on) on OCG-TCG set table, Set, and Card table set, for a set version of CardTable2, a central, standardized way to get "canon" set names and abbreviations in any language, and a standardized display of set information on card pages, respectively. Back when I came back and started getting involved again (in late 2009 (wow, has it really been that long already? o_O )), I developed and started deploying Unofficial name (originally "Approximate name") and, later, Unofficial lore; "Unofficial name" is now one of the most widely used templates on the wiki. I've also created, rewritten, or tweaked several dozen other templates, helped get a complete category system in place, helped with a redesign of the forums (mostly their deployment rather than their design), spurred the adoption and wider use of several stylistic habits, and several other tidbits here and there.
 * Deltaneos has also helped out immensely with the templates; he's showed me all sorts of neat tricks for utilizing StringFunctions and SMW, neither of which I'd worked with at all before coming back here. He also does a lot of grunt work with recategorizing pages as we continue to update the category system, both with his bot and manually, and recently, he's been creating a lot of articles for people involved in the various anime series (mostly seiyū and certain staff members). Several months ago, he also pretty much single-handedly set up the RFA system, which looks to be running pretty smoothly. All in all, he's easily done far more work here than I have. =D
 * On the topic of administrators, there have been several of them promoted since I started contributing again, starting with in September 2009,  in January 2010,  in March 2010, me in May 2010, and after geting RFA set up,  and  in January this year,  in February, and  just last March. As I mentioned above, we also have a couple of bots now -  was promoted in September 2009, and  in June 2010 (and despite the age disparity, DeltaneosBot still has more edits than my own =D ).
 * On the anime and manga front, both the GX manga and the 5D's anime have drawn to a close, and Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL has started in their place. As far as the card game, there's a card effect redesign set to start getting deployed next month with the goal of making card effects much more understandable and easier to use, thereby exponentially cutting down on the number of rulings needed.
 * There's bound to be lots of other interesting stuff that has also happened, but this is most of what I can think of right now... are there any corrections or additions you'd like to make, Delt? =)
 * And, how much of a collection do you have now, Fox? Is it anything like it was before your financial difficulties? 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 17:45, June 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * You forgot that you also created Yu-Gi-Oh! manga appearances and Yu-Gi-Oh! anime appearances, which are awesome, except for your taking so long to decide how to separate episodes (you knew I was saving that one). Oh, and hi Fox. I'm Cheesedude. You have no idea who I am, but good to meet you. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 17:56, June 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * I actually thought about that midway through listing the other stuff, but decided to leave it out because I felt I'd already done more than enough self-promotion. =D 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 18:05, June 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * Aside from what Dinoguy's mentioned...
 * In Yu-Gi-Oh! itself:
 * 4Kids are getting sued by TV Tokyo and NAS.
 * Exceed Monsters Xyz Monsters have been added to the card game.
 * Rules have changed slightly in the OCG; You can't call Priority to activate an Ignition Effect after Summoning a monster. This will probably be changed in the TCG too when the next Starter Deck comes out.
 * On the wiki:
 * There's obviously this new skin, which we didn't have much choice over.
 * Lately Wikia's become a lot more focused on attracting contributers than the actual encyclopedic content of wikis. You can see this in a lot of their new features: badges, picture attribution, blogs, newly created wikis have article comments instead of talk pages. At least we have a choice in using most of the features and one positive one is the chat feature, which is similar to IRC and we should be able to enable it here sometime next month.
 * The Main Page is a bit tidier.
 * On the forums, actual wiki discussion has been separated from general Yu-Gi-Oh! discussion, the layout has been redesigned, sticky threads have been added and threads older than 40 days now get an "archived" notice and the "edit" button becomes unclickable (although it's still possible to edit the page).
 * There aren't too many users you'd be familiar with still around. Rod and III are still here. Dantman is still around, but doesn't do as much on Wikia these days. Jennie Rocket, who you might remember from IRC is still on IRC.
 * You've only just missed Deus Ex Machina by a few months. He's unfortunately left due to health problems. Huajun Chen and D.Kaiser each left around the times they started college. Pcouw has had a second child. Look234, irrc, was finding it hard to fit the wiki in his life with college, family and his girlfriend. AnnaV, I think, left after moving back to her home country. I've no idea what happened to Van Ludwig. According to Special:ListUsers he hasn't even logged in since he stopped editing. Tyrant Slayer, I think, has been busy with real life, plus that flu scare in Mexico in 2009 kept him away from computer access for a while. Danny has unfortunately died after a life of sickness, but managed to live twice as long as doctors had predicted. And apologies to anyone I've left out.

 * The new skin has been something of a bone of contention for me as well. I know WoWWiki's core staff left, and set up their own mirror in protest at it. Nathan has been busy with College, I've had him on MSN, but he's been well at least.
 * The change to Priority is a big surprise. Never expected that.
 * I do still have a collection, however I haven't audited it properly yet.
 * Sad to hear Danny passed away. How did you find out?
 * Glad to see more SysOps around the place. It was hard to promote people back then because of Nightmare81, et al (whom has thankfully fucked off YouTube, and hopefully had fallen under a bus).
 * I see the changes made to CT2, and looks like a fine job. What are the major changes to how it works since I left?--TwoTailedFox (My Talk Page) 19:07, June 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * Wikia staff were a bit unfair to WoWWiki. They jumped on the first excuse they found to demote the admins who had left to the new domain. Although WoWWiki at least got a wider content area with the new skin due to the vast majority of readers having wider screen resolutions.
 * Nathan is Narchibald, right? He dropped by after the new skin to discuss some format changes.
 * Someone left a notice on his user page. The thread linked to has been removed since, but you can find it here too. Just see the post by Joe Zaza, his brother.
 * CardTable2 updates:
 * It used to be a big sea of #ifs and #switches crammed together. The code is much more legible now.
 * Documentation is a bit more organised.
 * Sometimes SMW randomly gets disabled on Wikia. CardTable2 has a bunch of fallbacks now, so pages basically don't turn to crap when that happens.
 * Separate parameters like |altatk for non-numeric values aren't needed anymore.
 * It stops card images going beyond 300px. We've had to cut back from 400 to 300, since the new skin doesn't have a very wide content area.
 * Radaghast cooked-up a few more SVG icons to use in it.
 * This hasn't been added yet. But we're going to use Template:Ruby/split so that you need only enter |jpname = Japanese name with ruby markup and it will automatically strip what you enter into its kanji and kana-only versions, rather than use three separate parameters.
 * -- Deltaneos (talk) 19:59, June 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * Lucky that they didn't do that to our faith Founder like to one of that Admins in WoWWiki. -- F  r  e  d  C  a  t  20:04, June 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * I like the Ruby change, although it's still disappointing to see only lukewarm support for the Ruby tag in some browsers.
 * Yep, Narchibald.
 * Is YGO still used by Wikia as a testbed for MediaWiki/SMW upgrades?
 * How many of the old YGO sites are still going? Can't see to find evidence of RONIN, or that rulings website it used.
 * WoWWiki's usefulness has actually been surpassed by WoWPedia, the sister site, primarily because Curse Networks seem to have a more solid model to bring in contributors (Such as from the MMO Champion Forums, etc).
 * Also, any idea what the latest Video game is that has the largest collection of released cards to play?--TwoTailedFox (My Talk Page) 20:32, June 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * Additional: What's with the Hero -> HERO switch?--TwoTailedFox (My Talk Page) 20:32, June 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * That's to help prevent the "Stratos'" repeat reprint with each updating "Hero" name they released, and that help them prevent from searching for "Hero Kid" and few cards that related to the names. If you wish to know, just try to find "Burnpsy" as he was one bring this idea up. -- F  r  e  d  C  a  t  20:37, June 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * Test wikis for MediaWiki/SMW upgrades vary.
 * Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's World Championship 2011: Over the Nexus is the latest video game. Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Tag Force 5 is the second most recent. The World Championship games are more like the OCG/TCG. The Tag Force ones include anime-only cards and proper Dark Synchro Monsters. (In the real world, Dark Synchro Monsters were released as regular Synchro Monsters.)
 * Konami have made some changes to terminology. All "Hero" cards are being reprinted as "HERO". With two new types of "HERO" cards, "Vision HERO" and "Masked HERO", cards like "Elemental Hero Stratos" and "Divine Neos" were getting messy. -- Deltaneos (talk) 20:47, June 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * Since Konami has taken over from UDE, they haven't been shy about errata'ing the names of cards that have already been released in the TCG for the sake of archetype support simplicity. e.g. "Amazon Archer" → "Amazoness Archer", "Oscillo Hero #2" → "Wattkid". -- Deltaneos (talk) 20:50, June 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * Very much in favour of that. Heck, I'm just pleased they finally released an Errata'd "Ocean Dragon Lord - Neo-Daedalus". The Hero change also makes a lot of sense, also ties the TCG cards somewhat closer to their OCG counterparts. I read earlier about Rulings prior to Crimson Crisis not being valid in Konami's eye, I take it there are no replacement rulings so far for these cards?--TwoTailedFox (My Talk Page) 21:03, June 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * No replacements have been issued yet, as far as I know. The forum where Konami announced this requires a sign in, so there could be details that I'm missing. -- Deltaneos (talk) 21:11, June 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * Oh yeah, I forgot to answer your question on Yu-Gi-Oh! sites still active. I'm not familiar with the RONIN site you mentioned. yugioh-card.com (obviously), Shriek, ShriekTCG, manjyomethunder, YGO-Card.de, Pojo and Janime are still around. I don't think Netrep gets updated much these days. yu-jyo.net still exists. It doesn't update, but it's pretty much already finished summarising the series and won't be bothering with any of the newer series. LittleKuriboh's YouTube account (CardGamesFTW) keeps switching between being banned and unbanned. There are a couple of helpful Japanese sites, at least one Chinese one and numerous image sources. -- Deltaneos (talk) 23:56, June 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * Oh crap, I never realized Curse were the ones hosting WowPedia... I like them quite a bit; I've become a somewhat active contributor on their Minecraft wiki over the past few months. I'd still personally like to run as far away from Wikia as we could, and if we ever do, Curse is who I'd be likely to turn to for hosting.
 * On the subject of TC2 updates, the second major update I'm working on (or not) now involves fully splitting the template into a frontend wrapper that does lots of parameter preprocessing and sets a bunch of parameter "flags", and a backend core that handles the actual template display and whatnot.
 * Some other upcoming card effect changes I like quite a bit are replacing "remove from play" with "banish", piercing effects with "this card does piercing damage", and clearly separating Conditions, Activations, and Resolutions. 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 01:39, June 4, 2011 (UTC)
