Fanslations
Hey, Delt. Not a bad job you and the others have done with the place.

A long time ago, there was a thread on Pojo that I consider the predecessor to things like this wiki - a thread that saw inaccurate fanlations abroad and decided "this doesn't make sense, the card actually says _______."

In that thread there were a few conventions laid down, and I found them quite practical - one that really stuck out was "Konami knows the intention it has for card names far better than we do."

I've been seeing this defied in various places on the wikia, and I was wondering what I could do to combat such.

I've also been seeing people treat Shriek as an "official source" more often as of late, and this itself distresses me, since I'm one of the guys who bothers to try to catch Shriek's mistakes. The guy's not perfect.

Got any reccomendations on how I might combat these misgivings?

 * Not everyone on an English site is going to know Japanese or have some understanding of how the language works. If the first translation they see is a mis- or alternate translation of the English name Konami/UDE/4Kids choose they assume it's the original name and the English version changed the name. e.g. "Revise Dragon"/"Leviath Dragon". It can be difficult to explain this when someone has become accustomed to an old translation and doesn't want to accept the new one.
 * We obviously can't educate every current and future user in enough basics of Japanese to tell when an English name is an intended translation of the Japanese. So there's not a lot of counter measures to stop them happening in the first place. You can still fix them as you find them though. If the same page frequently gets changed by different users to use a fan translation, you can add hidden text along the lines of  and some similar message if it's a pure mistranslation that's constantly added. -- Deltaneos (talk) 14:02, June 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * A sober and effective means of handling it, as usual. I was right to come to you. I'll be informing you if anyone gives me any further flak about such matters.


 * One thought still occupies me - does the wiki have a decently dedicated listing of "users who actually know Japanese well enough to be taken as worthwhile authorities?" It may be useful for a team to organize and end disputes on matters of this sort, by putting down any old misguided fanlations that've somehow missed our ken, and I kind of am still a bit shaken by the few risky comments I've seen that drove me to you in the first place. (The suggestion that we ought take shriek as official really messed with me; it's as backward an idea as taking this wiki itself official, and as nice as a thing we have here, there are reasons wikis can't be trusted at all times, and those reasons are reasons that no wiki may escape, not even this one.)


 * In short, I think I'd like to assemble a crack team of people-able-to-correct-fanlators.EDavidR (talk • contribs) 13:42, July 4, 2011 (UTC)

 * III is the best Japanese speaker here that I'm aware of. Their English isn't as strong as most other users, but they're still very good at translating names and phrases, just not long sentences or paragraphs. I'd still trust III's translations over anyone on any Yu-Gi-Oh! fansite. No, I don't know for definitive if they're a native. They don't seem to want to give away much personal information. (Hence the gender-neutral pronouns.)
 * Deus Ex Machina knows enough to translate rulings, but admits he's not very good at translating much else.

Article boilerplate
I've been working a bit on a Set Card Galleries boilerplate, and I think I have most of the needed functionality down (it still needs most of the flagicons to be added, and it still requires you to manually fill in the localized set name in the appropriate locations (and, obviously, you have to fill in all the card images/details yourself), but other than that, it should be pretty much feature-complete and is fully automated); do you see anything that should be added or changed? If you're wondering, I'm going to use this and similar boilerplates written for list and ratio pages as a basis for developing a template to do much of this automatically; feel free to start these boilerplates (or other ones for card info pages; I intend to add lots to this) if you'd like. =) 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 07:11, July 8, 2011 (UTC)

 * Not yet, but I'd been thinking about it. The main problem (one that's been holding up several other projects of mine, too) is that currently, property coverage of these names is spotty at best; the situation should improve considerably, though, when I finally get around to finishing OCG-TCG set table and we deploy it.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Rage
Don't you have a page for ygo abridged? How come yugioh rage is less important? What if i get 10,000 views will that be popular enough for ya? —This unsigned comment was made by 64.122.31.62 (talk • contribs) 20:09, 8 July 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm sure there are thousands of fan made unofficial Yu-Gi-Oh! projects. This wiki is mostly for official stuff. Only very widely recognised unofficial stuff is documented. Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series is one of the biggest and very popular, so it qualifies.
 * It's hard to measure exactly how popular something unofficial must be before it's considered notable enough to have an article. I don't think 10,000 views would really be enough. Plus if the only people creating articles for a fan series are those somehow involved in making it, it's generally not considered notable enough. -- Deltaneos (talk) 20:24, July 8, 2011 (UTC)

I would like to know how you doing those color thing with navibox in your lists... you know, for GX manga? I would like to use them for my "Collection" pages, so I could not have them listed different. -- F  r  e  d  C  a  t  12:26, July 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure what you're talking about. -- Deltaneos (talk) 12:30, July 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * I mean that article you have which covered each Yu-Gi-Oh! Manga "summary"... So for the "Box"; it's little hard to explain from what I have knowledge - I like to have a color code for each group of cards in my Collection Article. Like Yellow color code for Normal Monster, Brown (seemed to be correct color) for Effect Monster, Blue for Ritual, Purple for Fusion, etc. -- F  r  e  d  C  a  t  12:39, July 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * You mean like this page? If not, could you link to an example page? -- Deltaneos (talk) 12:42, July 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yea, and I am sure you know much about color codes for those "boxes". -- F  r  e  d  C  a  t  12:44, July 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * Okay, I think I see what you mean. For pages like this, you want to colour code each row by the type of card? For example:


 * Click edit this section to see how I did it. It's basically adding  after each   before a row.
 * If you want to change the colour of the main heading, replace  with   and replace   with the colour you want.
 * I have colour codes at User:Deltaneos/Colours somewhat close to the official ones if you want to copy them. -- Deltaneos (talk) 13:23, July 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * That's exact what I am looking for, as I knew you're the person to respond. :-) -- F  r  e  d  C  a  t  14:22, July 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * For some cards you've used the top colour and for others the bottom. The top ones are the colours of the borders of the cards, while the bottom ones are the colour of the text/lore area. I'd advise using the bottom ones for all, since they're lighter and easier to read black and blue text off. -- Deltaneos (talk) 19:28, July 9, 2011 (UTC)

A few things
This card and "Time Travel" appear to have slightly different kanji. Would it be best to split the articles because of that? Also, I just stumbled across Deck Gallery:Pete Coppermine. Was it a test page for an abandoned project? I like the idea of that page. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 05:07, July 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * It's not actually kanji, despite what the template parameter is called. Kanji are the characters borrowed from the Chinese alphabet. They're the more complicated ones: 機械改造工場. Kana are the characters which represent syllables. Kana consists of hirigana, used for Japanese words, and katakana, used for non-Japanese words. Katakana are straight-ish lines connect at angles: ブラック・マジシャン. Hirigana are curvier: きかいかいぞうこうじょう. It's katakana in this case.
 * I agree they should separate articles. (Turns out they do.) It looks like "Time Travel" (Worm Slip) is based on "Dimensionhole" (Worm Hole) and deliberately given a different name to be treated as a different card. And as TwoTailedFox pointed out in the page history, both cards appear in the same anime series, as different cards.
 * Bit of both about the Deck galleries. It's not something I'm really interested in anymore, but I don't mind if someone else works on them. -- Deltaneos (talk) 12:22, July 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * Interesting.

Edited Art Category

 * Hey Delta. Do you think an Edited Art Category would be a good idea? To add a category to cards whose art has been changed via censorship, revising, etc.? I know we have that one page that lists them all, but sometimes, it can be a bit difficult to notice new cards that have modified art.--YamiWheeler (talk • contribs) 13:54, July 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * You mean as a way of picking out cards whose artwork was edited as apposed to completely redrawn? Or cards that were censored as apposed to being given alternate artworks? (One way includes cards like "Ultimate Offering", the other doesn't.)
 * I've been thinking we should add a property to the artwork pages that say why the cards were changed; sex, religion, violence, etc. We could also add a property to make whichever distinction you're suggesting. This would let us add filters to Category:Card Artworks like on Category:OCG cards, so people can fliter the category down to cards matching the description they want. -- Deltaneos (talk) 14:32, July 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * That actually sounds a lot better than what I was thinking of, but something like that, definitely. I was originally saying that we just needed a category to show which cards have edited artwork (for whatever reason, for example, Ultimate Offering completely redrawn, or Mad Lobster's art being revised in the OCG/TCG, or even Don Zaloog's guns changed to swords, but not manga redraws, obviously.), so there's a way to find them more easily, but that property idea sounds a lot better. Is that like, something that only mods can do, because I'd be happy to help with that.--YamiWheeler (talk • contribs) 14:43, July 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * Sounds good. I like the idea. Wilimut Talk Mail Paris, 04:03, July 15, 2011 (UTC)

I also told him that "Light and Darkness Dragon" effect that activate and resolved in Graveyard, while he denied it, again, that it was a Spell while it was equipped under "Dragunity Arma L." effect and second time, considered that "Effect Monster" effect can be activate while equipped/being a continuous Spell Card.

We miss the Metal raiders but yet, the next one (Duelist Legacy Volume.4) works fine though the Structure Deck 11: Wave of Flashing Light and the Structure Deck 14: Advent of the Emperor don't work because the Beginner's Edition 2 is missing. Yet i don't can't find any differences since there is no  between those... I really don't understand. Wilimut Talk Mail Paris, 03:27, July 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I'm just having difficulty clearly explaining myself. ;) If you look at the Japanese gallery, and then the video game galleries immediately following it, that's what I'm trying to get at - the bug affects all the images through the end of the Japanese gallery, but the VG galleries display normally. 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 03:30, July 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * Haha, alright, I finally get it^^ Then you think that it's a bug from the Template:Gallery? Wilimut Talk Mail Paris, 03:33, July 20, 2011 (UTC)

Videos
Just double checking; if a video already exists on youtube, it should be a direct link (using the tags)? and any videos from youtube should not be reuploaded here, and should be deleted if they are? (there's quite a few at Category:Videos that are like that, and most of them are not used). -Falzar FZ- (talk page|useful stuff) 04:30, July 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * I tend to dislike both, but that's probably because I dislike how videos are often used here in general:
 * Articles made just to display a video and contain little or no other content.
 * Videos added because people like them rather than they're useful or encyclopedic.
 * Videos added by people who want to advertise the videos.
 * Copyright violations.
 * For legitimate usage, I suppose the Video namespace ones have more potential since it's easier to style them, like putting them in thumbnails and what-not and they have a page where licensing information can be added. -- Deltaneos (talk) 19:48, July 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * So... I take that as a, delete if it is directly available on youtube, and delete if it is not available on youtube because it was deleted from there due to copyright violations? AKA, delete pretty much all of them? -Falzar FZ- (talk page|useful stuff) 13:38, July 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * When you say "delete if it is directly available on youtube" are you just referring to the unused ones? -- Deltaneos (talk) 23:37, July 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * Pretty much all of the abridged related videos that are uploaded here are unused. Maybe I'll try use examples:
 * 1) For example, Leather Pants uses the video via the tags; but the same video was uploaded here (Video:LEATHER PANTS REMIX - (FEAT. SHADYVOX)) and is unused. Should the unused video here be deleted?
 * 2) For example, Yu-Gi-Oh: Season Zero Abridged - Episode 1, uses the video that is uploaded here. Should that be changed to a tag, and the video here be deleted?
 * -Falzar FZ- (talk page|useful stuff) 04:09, July 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * I don't think it really matters. They're both producing the same effect the way they're currently being used. There's no need for both though. Just get rid of which ever you feel like I guess. -- Deltaneos (talk) 19:19, July 22, 2011 (UTC)

Grey Card Text.

 * Although I was Fully Aware of the Fact That the Numbers' Card Text in the Anime was Not Coloured Grey, I Wanted to Format it Similar to the Dark Synchro Monsters' Card Text, as it was a Rule that Applied to Every Monster of the Same Type (In the Anime). --User:002517 (talk • contribs) 07:27, July 20, 2011 (UTC)

Summoning
What would happen if you combine a Monster Card and a Spell Card and a Trap Card = Monster? If the spell and trap were different than a normal Trap Card and a normal Spell Card, it would make a new kind of monster kind of like Xyz Summon? But, you still have to have normal spell cards and normal trap cards in your deck or else you will be in big trouble. Signed Kamishin

Hi Deltaneos. Look at this marvelous piece of html that Falzar Fz is trying to stop. Admins, please give me permission to continue with my work for everyone. Thank you, talk to me here.---Sorry, wayward link. DeathEnvoy (talk • contribs) 21:53, July 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * Falzar wasn't necessarily trying to stop this idea. He deleted the page because it was user-specific stuff posted in the template namespace rather than a user page and because a copyrighted image was being misused.
 * Anyway, about the speech bubbles. I've seen them used on other wikis. They are interesting, but I'm afraid I'm not really in favour of this idea. Sorry.
 * The images used are often copyright violations.
 * It clutters the "file links" section on image pages.
 * The images can be uploaded over, which can cause unnecessary server strain as potentially thousands of pages need to be changed when the image is replaced.
 * That can also be abused to put an offensive image in thousands of pages. And Wikia has often had problems with uploading new versions of images, where the newest version won't always get shown, so they could possible get "stuck" on an offensive version.
 * It's also possible that this could be abused to perform denial-of-service attacks.
 * It also requires that templates be used every time you leave a talk page message. This can also cause unnecessary server strain as pages need to be recached if the templates get changed.
 * And can be abused by vandals in a similar fashion to uploading over the images. (Although Wikia might be changing user page settings so they can only be edited by the associated user and admins.)
 * They make pages harder to read.
 * They're distracting from the actual message.
 * They often have a section for an extra comment/catchphrase which isn't part of the message, which can be distracting too.
 * I'm sure that there are other problems too.
 * I might be making some of those problems seem a bit bigger than they actually are. Anyway, I'm really not a fan of the word bubbles and I can't say I'm in favour. -- Deltaneos (talk) 23:25, July 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * (Special:DeletedContributions/76.126.190.69 and Special:DeletedContributions/DeathEnvoy)
 * 1) You created lots of templates on separate pages; most of which were unused or were random redirects. That is what I was cleaning up.
 * 2) Fair use images aren't meant to be used in this manner anyways.
 * 3) It's something that should have probably been asked about at Forum:Yu-Gi-Oh! Wiki Community Discussion before being created.
 * -Falzar FZ- (talk page|useful stuff) 23:54, July 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * Regarding my "Although Wikia might be changing user page settings so they can only be edited by the associated user and admins." comment, this setting will only be applied to the main user page, not sub user pages, so the problem would still exist if this setting gets rolled out here. -- Deltaneos (talk) 22:47, July 26, 2011 (UTC)

SMW off for a while
When a number of infobox templates were changed on the site a few hours ago, it flooded the caches on our network and caused massive load issues. I have turned off SMW on the site for at least the next 18 hours to let it sync back up correctly. I would highly recommend you make any further changes - either adding on or rolling back - to infoboxes now because it will avoid further issues tomorrow. --daNASCAT http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 21:01, July 27, 2011 (UTC)

RE: WC Items
That a tough question, right now I am working on WC07. For 2009, 2010, and 2011, the hairstyle is indeed called Hair No.03. If we create a separate articles, it involved a lot of renaming and there is a problems. For 2007 and 2008, they have the same hairstyle, but 2008 have 11, while 2007 have 10. The same thing goes for 2009, 2010, 2011. 2009 have 9, 2010 have 13, and 2011 have 11 I think according to some of the videos I watch. I have never play 2011, might if no one is going to do WC11 characters. If you are going to rename, you are renaming 21 pages, so far in my knowledge, you can only rename three pages before your action is stop. I think it best to not rename, I will give you a example how it will look. Also, in 2011, there is a new items call skin color.

For example, Hair No.09 is the ninth hairstyle in the World Championship video games. It can be chosen by female or male players.

World Championship 2007/2008
In World Championship 2007 and 2008, the ninth hairstyle was to fit with Yu-Gi-Oh! GX theme.

Gallery/Images

World Championship 2009: Stardust Accelerator
In World Championship 2009: Stardust Accelerator, the ninth hairstyle have change to fit with Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's theme. This hairstyle is the last hairstyle for the player can have.

That the only thing I come up without renaming the page. I will think of a another plan if this doesn't work. WinterNightmare (talk • contribs) 21:43, July 29, 2011 (UTC)

Doesn't that mean he was destroyed? his LP did hit 0. he travels through time with his duel runner, which was destroyed when he merged with Malefic truth Dragon, so he couldn't of traveled back to the future, so the only logical conclusion is that he was destroyed. please take what I'm saying into consideration. :Will you allow me to edit the Paradox and movie pages to hold correct information?

Image categories
Is Category:Images/by subject not used anymore? There are a LOT of uncategoriaed card images, and I actually created the ZEXAL category yesterday. Is categorizing images just something that fell by the wayside? Also, what's with the GX cat? Why is it only for card images and only those that don't have OCG/TCG counterparts? Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 00:13, August 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * The image categories are something that've been needing review for a long time. The GX category should be broadened to include any GX images, and they all need to use sentence case rather than capitalizing every word (so we need Category:Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL anime images and Category:Yu-Gi-Oh! GX anime images instead of Category:Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL Anime Images and Category:Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Anime Only Card Images).
 * I'm not sure about Category:Images/by subject. I suppose there's not much reason not to use it, though I must confess I don't care for the name (that's not to say I have any suggestions for better names, though =P ). 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 02:08, August 7, 2011 (UTC)

Dai Grepher deletion?
I've only recently began using and editing this wiki, so I'm not sure where to direct this suggestion, but after sorting out some Trivia pages for the card "Warrior Dai Grepher", I'd like to suggest the deletion of the page "Warrior Dai Grepher (series)", given that almost all of the information belongs in - and has been added to - the card's own Trivia" link, and because it's not so much a card 'series' so much as one card and a deluge of fictional speculation, especially since three out of the five cards in this 'series' already have their own series page: Dark Lucius.
