Magic vs spell card images?
Are we worried about getting both the Magic and the Spell versions of any cards where it's distinguishable? Looking at Set Card Galleries:Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon (TCG-NA-1E), it seems to have only Magic versions (though I haven't looked through the non-Magic/Spell card effects to see if any of them mention Magic/Spell cards), while the only Magic/Spell card currently uploaded for Set Card Galleries:Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon (TCG-NA-UE) is the Spell version. If we do want both versions, how should we distinguish them in the image names? Alternate artwork? (And has any similar change occurred in any other region versions of the TCG, or in the OCG?) 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 17:51, January 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * I used to think that there weren't any cards with the same set number and edition that were printed with both "Magic" and "Spell" versions. But I have seen this once before. I just added a -2 to the end of the Spell version:
 * File:HarpieLadySistersMRD-EU-SR-UE.jpg
 * File:HarpieLadySistersMRD-EU-SR-UE-2.jpg
 * I never looked into it since. There is a "Magic" version of that "Polymerization" image. Give the "Magic" ones the original filenames, I guess and add something like -2 or -Spell to the "Spell" ones and keep it consistent. -- Deltaneos (talk) 18:42, January 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * Okay, I'll go with adding "-Spell" (now to add this bit to TCG-OCG card image...). As far as what cards are like that, literally every card originally released with a mention of "Magic Cards" (be it actual Magic cards, or Monster/Trap card effects that mention them) was re-released as a Spell version, from what I've seen (at least, as far as Booster Sets are concerned) - I'm the type of person that actually focuses on this stuff in my collecting.

Anti-Archetypes
hat do you think about adding a section on to the archetype pages about cards or strategies that work against/ are typically used against the particular archetype? I think that it could help people to build their decks to better handle the typical opposition that they could face, and help others make their side decks able to handle different archetypes without having to hunt for cards that specifically stop a certain deck type.

Last Arc
Hi writing to ask if it should be ok to put the remining episodes on an Arc. If so should it be called ¨Ark Cardle Arc¨¨ or otherwise. DracoX (talk • contribs) 05:22, January 6, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah thats gonna be a debate on what episde to start. Because offically the WRGP itself ends with 137 and the Ark Cradle appearing begins there too. Thoguh im thinking that we could always leave 137 as the last episode of the WRGP Arc and put it also as the begining for Ark Cradle as well if it doesnt bring some confusion though.

Duel Academy and Spirit Caller
Any particular reason that the character infobox does not parameters for these two games? Not sure if the former had deck names, but the latter seems to, based on additions to several deck articles. Haven't played either myself. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 02:10, January 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * Alright then. I'll add any listed in the decklists to the infoboxes later then. Thanks. On a related note, it seems like that Tag Force 3 doesn't have deck names, based o the FAQs. That, or the guy who wrote the FAQ simply didn't add them. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 17:48, January 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the constant messages. When I attempted to add the deck names to Zane Truesdale, each of them showed up as a redlink, despite not being wikilinked in the box itself. Which reminded be that I saw a similar problem at Ojama Yellow's page. I assume it has something to do with the infobox code, in the same vein that you don't need to link certain thing in it manually. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 18:09, January 10, 2011 (UTC)

A confession
I'm sorry, I need to confess to doing something un-adminlike. I moved some pages whose dub names were absurdly bad translations to more proper, unofficial translations, and even said I heard the better translation when I was pretty sure I didn't, then just forgot about them. I have since moved them all back to the correct (bad) translations. I'm so sorry, I was just disgusted with the translation, but I lied to the wiki, and there's no excuse for that.

The wonders of SMW character replacement
This was an amazingly, ridiculously, stupidly hard fix to track down - I couldn't find anything about the issue in SMW's documentation. I only finally figured out exactly why the code  didn't evaluate like it should until I sat down and played with , and realized there was a nice  -sized hole in between   and   (and then I had more fun realizing that instead of being consistent and using  , SMW replaces double-quotes with  ). =P

Now that I'm done with my mini-rant/complaint, I don't suppose you can point out any other characters SMW "helpfully" sanitizes, can you? 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 04:55, January 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * I think the problem is with MediaWiki, not SMW.  also replaces ' and " with   and   here and on wikis outside Wikia.
 * The only other character that gets handled like this that I can find right now is &.
 * Also... why are you using  instead of simply  ? -- Deltaneos (talk) 13:21, January 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * Because  is generated from   (specifically, by stripping characters which aren't allowed in MediaWiki page names), which, since it's manually specified, may be incorrect (though errors there will more often result in the template saying the stated page doesn't exist). This has the added benefit of letting us catch pagemoves - since you can #show with a redirect's title and get the properties of the page that redirect points to, this can automatically check if the given name is the actual name of the card article or just of a redirect pointing to that article. It won't work when SMW is disabled (though I'm also not sure just how it'll look), but the File: namespace is probably not viewed nearly as often as the main namespace, so I'm not terribly worried about it yet. 「 ダイノ ガイ  千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 17:00, January 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * I think you can use  to get values from the redirects target. e.g.   gives 8. I don't think the page name property is needed, since its the default value   will give, albeit with a link. e.g.   gives Blue-Eyes White Dragon. -- Deltaneos (talk) 17:12, January 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * So it does... I hadn't thought of trying that. The auto-linking is annoying, and I can't find any way of preventing it from within the query (I tried all the suggestions I could find, but none of them worked for  - the text was either still linked, or simply didn't display), but it should be easy enough to strip via a couple of  s (and *that* should be easy enough to replace if either I figure out how to get unlinked output, or someone shows me). 「 ダイノ ガイ  千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 17:46, January 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * I see why it uses the name for the double quote and the number for the single quote/apostrophe now. By default it uses the names for such characters, but  does not work on Internet Explorer, so   has to be used for that particular character, while the others use the names. -- Deltaneos (talk) 16:49, January 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * Right, I should've known that (considering I was looking at a chart of HTML entities when I was working on this, and that was one of the notes accompanying the chart). =P Still, it would make more sense, to me at least, to use numerical references for all three replacements... =/ 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 17:25, January 18, 2011 (UTC)

Life Stream Dragon
Hey Deltaneos, It’s Elemental Hero Kid Neos, I was looking at that image of Life Stream Dragon, and by the looks of the first 5 Japanese characters after the +, they’re the same has Power Tool Dragon’s name in Japanese. So I was going to add it to the requirements but the edit say do not change or you will be band. So I’m wondering if it’s ok to add it in or if I should let you handle it.

 * I don't really like those block warnings. That warning was put there before the current image was used. In the previous image, neither the DEF nor the lore were visible. You certainly won't get banned for changing it, unless you repeatedly do it ignoring a discussion. It's probably better if you leave a message on the talk page suggesting the change and see what other people think. -- Deltaneos (talk) 12:54, January 12, 2011 (UTC)

Re:Light Boy
My first guess would be Yubel when under the form of Rick/Pierce. If not that, then perhaps Kyle or Nero. They both appeared in Dark World and weren't part of the Dark World monsters. All three of these options really sounds like a stretch to me, but I can't think of any other characters that would make sense. If the character isn't form Season 3, then it could be a random Society of Light extra. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 01:06, January 13, 2011 (UTC)

Life Stream Dragon text
OK no problem about Demons. Now we have some problems with Life Stream Dragon, as someone like tried to read the blurred text on the card and posted on Janime forum the possible third effect of Life Stream. The problem is that some people came here to put both the edited image of the card with the "full" text and the unknown third effect. Would we take that third effect as speculation or unsourced since it wasn't officially given by the anime?

Japanese lores + translated
Hi Deltaneos! I was thinking to add to all OCG cards their Japanese lore and the exact translation of the Japanese lore. Some cards have only the Japanese lore, some have nothing and a few have both. Should we add to ALL cards those 2 extra lores?

I'm saying that because some TCG Rulings are based on the OCG lore (rather than their mistranslated TCG text) and sometimes they conflict with their TCG lore making a lot of people wondering why this ("BKSS") ruling exist since the (TCG) text supports otherwise.

What do you say? ATEMVEGETA (Talk) 13:14, January 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * Are you suggesting that we list the OCG Japanese lore, an English translation of the OCG Japanese lore, as well as the TCG English lore?
 * Well, yea! That's what I was thinking! (As hidden texts).


 * Do you want to list this on pages where the TCG lore is an exact translation of the OCG lore too?
 * Hmmm.... sounds kinda crazy. Maybe we can skip those! We could add the translated text only to those who have pretty much different wording from the TCG, like Stardust Dragon, Zombie Master, ect.


 * Did you say some pages are already displaying the translated Japanese lore? If so, could I see an example?
 * Well, I can't find one right now! Maybe I'm wrong and I just thought I saw some! Maybe I confused them with the Japanese translated Names. Nevermind this!


 * ATEMVEGETA (Talk) 22:38, January 18, 2011 (UTC)

More Life Stream Dragon stuff
If you compare the text on Life Stream Dragon with the text on any OCG/anime card (I personally like BRD's anime image because they're the exact same size), you'll notice that the ] on LSD, clearly visible after the white streak, is roughly an inch further out than the ] on BRD, despite the fact that the text reading "Dragon / Synchro" (Or, as much of Synchro as can be read up to the streak) are in the exact same spot.

Dark Magic Twin Burst
Go watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeuZpETqPK8

This was a trailer subbed by Konami/4Kids, so they used dub names for cards. (Ex: Roadrunner as Sonic Chick even though you can hear them saying Roadrunner in the video.) When Yugi played Black Twin Burst, it was called Dark Magic Twin Burst, so you can see that Konami used a dubbed name, since they don't like using Black in the name.

In addition to all the Monsters, Spells, and Traps for Nordic and Six Samurai Decks, [[Storm of Ragnarok also has new cards for Decks like Blackwings, Scraps, Karakuri, Watts, Zombies, Elemental Heroes, and Harpies. Plus it has new Trap Monsters!

You can also try to get an exclusive Storm of Ragnarok Game Mat. You don’t have to be a skilled Duelist because we’ve asked the stores to give them out randomly, so everyone has a chance! Plus everybody gets a limited edition, Ultra Rare Vortex the Whirlwind Monster (while supplies last), and a mini-poster with a Storm of Ragnarok checklist on the back! Be sure to show up early because supplies of all items are limited and late-comers could get left in the dust.

Skull Servant Vandalism
Could you put a lock on the Skull Servants page to stop IP's from editing it for a while?

Cardtable styles, redux
Since I haven't been able to figure out any potential fixes for the box model problem with IE7 Document Mode (and, presumably, thus IE7 and IE6), I'm going to go ahead and just deploy the cardtable styles in the next couple of days or so, so we can move on to wider testing, unless you have an objection. 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 07:18, January 25, 2011 (UTC)

Cyber Dragons
I was notified by Wasn't that someone has seriously messed with the archetype support cat for "Cyber Dragons". If you check Template:Cyber, it's listing every anime/manga only card as "Cyber Dragon" support. I checked a few of the card pages, and it archsupport1 = Cyber Dragons" isn't showing up on them, so I'm thinking it may be a template issue. If not, could your bot help revert everything?

Response for Wikia Anime Twitter
Yes, for the most part recently it's been contests, but that's just because that's the information we had to work with, which is why we're reaching out to you guys to help us fill our feed with interesting anime tweets. You can promote anything on your wiki, even just a character you love or a page that looks amazing! The benefit to individual wikis is that you'll be getting traffic from the twitter posts, without having to manage them (that would be us who manage it)

All you do is make suggestions, and we take care of the rest. And you don't even have to make suggestions if you don't have any (or don't have time),  we just offer the opportunity to  get the communities involved because you know your topic better than anyone.

We just started asking wikis to "join" which basically just means putting the twitter follow button on your main page so that your users might decide to follow us, the more followers we have, the more people we can share information with.

Yes, this WikiaAnime twitter account is being run by wikia staff. We encourage people to start their own Twitter and Facebook accounts, like the folks listed here: http://com​munity.wik​ia.com/wik​i/Communit​y_Central:​Wikia_wiki​s_on_Faceb​ook and here http://com​munity.wik​ia.com/wik​i/Communit​y_Central:​Wikia_wiki​s_on_Twitt​er

We also realized that it might be nice for all of the anime wikis if there was a twitter account that was focused not just on one wiki, but on Anime as a genre. That way more people will get to know about more of the Anime wikis.

Basically we wanted to help our Anime network of wikis get traffic and promote themselves, we realize you're all busy, and this solution was a way we could help the largest amount of communities with the least amount of work on your parts...and again please feel free to contribute as you wish!

And thanks for the link! I will totally follow up on that =)

My turn to ask questions xD

 * 1) Even though your userpage is constantly being vandalised, I'm curious about why you would prefer to unprotect it from vandal edits. Can you please tell me?
 * 2) Is there a way to hide the 'rollback' button at Special:RecentChanges?
 * 3) Does 'history merge' work on Files (images)? Should it be done for things like File:DP10-BoosterEN.jpg and File:DP10Yusei-BoosterEN.jpg?
 * 4) The whole Community portal and discussions page, and the 'view more' buttons on Special:Following kinda disappeared. Do you know what happened to them?
 * 5) When it says "Block new and unregistered users", what exactly does it mean by new? Users with few contributions, or registered for a short time?
 * 6) Last question. What deck do you use? (IRL, or preferred deck in a video game, etc.)
 * Hope you don't mind. Thanks in adv. -Falzar FZ- (talk page|useful stuff) 02:21, January 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * (Delt will have to answer this one, though I've got some ideas of my own on his motivations)
 * Adding the CSS  should do it (if you want to hide all rollback links, just remove the " " bit).
 * I'm not sure; I've never tried it myself, and never seen it tried or even asked about before now (but given how histmerging works, I don't see why it wouldn't work). You could upload a couple of images yourself and try it. In the specific case you listed, though, I wouldn't recommend histmerging them (if it is possible) - one image is of the box, and the other is of the pack (we should take the time at some point to nail down naming conventions for these images, though).
 * The community portal is located here (note that both words in the name are capitalized). I fixed the sidebar link via MediaWiki:Portal-url (evidently, the default value changed in the upgrade; I went ahead and redirected the lowercase title to the correct page). The "view more" buttons on Special:Following are still there [ on the Wikia skin]; it's a bug that they no longer display on Monobook.
 * "New" means editors that aren't autoconfirmed (which really isn't any clearer). I don't know how it works on Wikia, but on Wikipedia, an account automatically becomes autoconfirmed after it has existed for at least four days and made at least ten edits.
 * Once again, this is one Delt will have to answer (though based on my own experiences with asking him more personal questions, he seems loathe to say more than he has to ;) ).
 * Obviously, I'm not Deltaneos, but I saw I could answer lots of these, so I went ahead and did so. =) 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 06:29, January 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * Your answers are just as welcomed. Thanks.
 * I also missed a question.
 * 7) About File:AeroShark-JP-Manga-ZX-NC.jpg. ZX would be ZEXAL, and NC is... well I have no idea. Anyways, neither are on the Image Policy, can you, or Dinoguy please update it? -Falzar FZ- (talk page|useful stuff) 08:11, January 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * Well, NC means no cards image. It's used when a card that doesn't have its card image avaiable. Blackwings0605 (talk) 13:46, January 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * They're mostly answered now...
 * I would like to hear Dinoguy's theories for the first question...
 * Wikia's definition of autoconfirmed is the same as the Wikipedia one Dinoguy gave. Or at least it was last time I checked.
 * I use a Twilight/Synchro Deck.
 * As Blackwings said, "NC" is used for "non-card" images. Basically ones that are of spirits or holograms, rather than a card.
 * -- Deltaneos (talk) 14:39, January 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * Well, I don't have any really substantial thoughts on the matter, but if I had to guess I would say I think it's along the lines of "let them vent", or something. On the other hand, of course, there are editors who simply don't like the idea of protection in their userspace. 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 15:47, January 27, 2011 (UTC)

 * 6) Nice, Twilight decks as I remember are very consistent.
 * 7) Cool. So, the Image Policy ought to be updated right? -Falzar FZ- (talk page|useful stuff) 00:00, January 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes. Feel free to update it. -- Deltaneos (talk) 00:18, January 28, 2011 (UTC)

Misc category in card table destroys spell and traps

SMW and equals signs?
SMW seems to choke quite thoroughly on equals signs in values:



Any ideas on how to fix (looking around the SMW documentation some and thinking about it, there may not be one other than stripping out/replacing equals signs, and I couldn't find anything relevant after a quick glance through Bugzilla...)? 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 18:01, January 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * This problem did pop-up before. Originally CardTable2 wouldn't show the "Other Card Information" links for that particular card. I'm not sure what fixed it in the end.
 * Stripping/replacing the equals sign is the only solution I can see. Not that you need me to do this, but  works . -- Deltaneos (talk) 18:46, January 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * Actually, that doesn't work, but there's probably something similar. -- Deltaneos (talk) 18:52, January 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * The Other Card Information links don't rely on SMW, though. This problem seems to be SMW-specific (unlike my previous character replacement woes).
 * I tried a few different methods for replacing the equals sign at the point the value is used ( and  ), they both returned junk. It looks like the only way it could work is to do the replacement when the value is assigned on the card page - anything querying and displaying that value would then have to reverse the replacement to display the correct value (unless SMW has no problem handling &amp;#61; in properties). 「 ダイノ ガイ  千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 19:02, January 28, 2011 (UTC)

I did a bit of testing, and it seems SMW has no problem when the value contains &amp;#61; instead of an unescaped = : It's not going to be much fun updating CardTable2 to properly escape values with equals signs, though (not to mention tracking down and updating other templates which set property values). 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 16:49, January 29, 2011 (UTC)

Set page properties
Do you have any comments/suggestions/additions for the properties listed on Set Details (can you point out any that are used but aren't listed there yet)? I'm wondering in particular if there's really any reason to have set-specific properties for various-language names, as opposed to just using the same properties we already use for card names; if we should prefer "Worldwide English" or just "English" for properties dealing with Worldwide English info; and what your thoughts are on the Set Prefix/Set and Region Prefix distinction. The Name and Prefix properties, in particular, are going to be used on Set (as you can (partially) see with Set/Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon), and the Prefix properties are being demoed on Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon. Thoughts? 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 06:20, January 29, 2011 (UTC)


 * I think that page should be in the project namespace at least.
 * I can't think of or find anything that's missing. Do you know what the difference between "Language Set Names" and "Actual Language Set Names" is? I'd have thought one would be for the name in the language's native writing system and the other would be for it translated to or wrote phonetically in English, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
 * The naming is just the way TwoTailedFox set it up. I guess it was to avoid getting cards appearing in set queries and vice-versa. Although other items could be easily added to the query to make that distinction.
 * I would say just use "English" rather than "Worldwide English" in the property names.
 * I don't quite understand the need for the individual set subpages of Template:Set. Is it not possible to get all the necessary information automatically? -- Deltaneos (talk) 17:18, January 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * I stumbled upon that page already existing there; I didn't think about moving it, but in retrospect, that makes a lot of sense.
 * No idea. TwoTailedFox is the one who set them up, as you said, and since he's not around anymore, we can't really ask him (do you have any idea why he up and left, or what may have been occupying his time more recently?). Since I'm suggesting changing property names anyways (that's what the arrows signify), we could simply replace "Actual X Set Names" with "[Phonetic/Transliterated] X Set Names" and "Translated X Set Names". Are we at all interested in unofficial set names, BTW (and, if so, in what languages)?
 * How expensive is it to query a concept which uses two properties, as opposed to just querying the raw properties? If it's less expensive, we could use concepts for those queries (and we should start using concepts for other complex queries as well).
 * That sounds reasonable. Would you prefer "English" or "Worldwide English" as labels on OCG-TCG set table/block (that's still really rough BTW; I have yet to add any conditional hiding or most of the properties)?
 * I've been learning about SMW pretty much concurrently with the development of Set, and recently came to the realization myself that I could probably replace the whole subpage system with one compact template, depending on how complex it is to achieve arbitrary property-property pairings (since I want to allow users to pass in a set's name in any [official, currently] language and be able to get that set's name or its set prefix/set+region prefix for any language, or the raw pagename). At this point, the two main advantages to the subpage system are, since the value passed to Set is converted pretty much straight into a subpage name, being able to use common misspellings ("Legend of Blue-Eyes White Dragon" is probably a pretty common misspelling, for instance) once the necessary redirect is created; and having an auto-generated table displaying all that available info in a straightforward, compact manner. 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 19:04, January 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * Back when he left, I think he didn't have a steady internet connection. I'm not sure why he still doesn't edit, not that he should be obliged to. If you want to try contact him, he seems to have logged in earlier this month. (Sorry, that page isn't working in Monobook right now.) I don't know what's occupying his time more recently, but he seems to be playing some World of Warcraft.
 * I don't think there's much need to add properties for unofficial set names. I can't think of many unless you count mistakes, such as mistranslations or adding the hyphen to Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon.
 * I don't think query expense can be determined just by the number of properties in the query. If you add  to the a query, it gives you some information. The Query-Size and Query-Depth that that gives are the true measures. I think we were told that anything close to 12 and 4 respectively are too high.
 * The naming on the labels of OCG-TCG set table/block may depend. Will North American/European/Australian English be displayed if they are the same as English? -- Deltaneos (talk) 20:37, January 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * I may try emailing him at some point (assuming he has an email address associated with his account); it'd be cool seeing him around again.
 * That's what I was thinking. We could have an "Alternate X Names" parameter for such mistakes/mistranslations/etc. if you think they're worth noting.
 * I didn't think it'd be that straightforward. Do you know if the "stay-under" values for Query-Size and Query-Depth have changed any between the old SMW version and the one we just got upgraded to?
 * I haven't decided that just yet. No matter what, if NA/EU/AU names aren't specified, they'll probably default to the EN name, at least in the respective properties (especially since I don't know of any case where these names differ; on the other hand, maybe we don't want to set properties for sets that haven't been released in the corresponding region?). The main reasons they have separate parameters at all is for consistency across parameters, and just in case there is a set with different English-region names.
 * This would be a good time to spell out exactly when a given region release of a set should get its own "block", as opposed to being combined with other regions in a single block. A minimal OCG-TCG distinction is a good rule of thumb, but we don't have absolute assurance that releases will maintain that distinction, when it comes to set release dates and contents (which are the backup metrics I'm considering). At this point, I think the main argument for continuing to separate set info into region-based blocks at all is only for the ability to display more than one region's version of a set's box/pack, and since I'm planning on proposing a set equivalent to Card Galleries, that may end up being a moot argument as well (there may still be a strong argument for separating the info simply to keep everything more understandable and distinguishable at-a-glance, though). 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 21:43, January 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * I think the permittable Query-Size and Depth are something Wikia sets. The first time SMW was causing major problems, we were told that they set the max sizes for them to 12 and 4, but I couldn't find any pages that went that high, so I assume the safe values are lower. I'd estimate 5 or 6 for Size. Depth doesn't matter, because I've never seen it go above 1. -- Deltaneos (talk) 02:18, February 2, 2011 (UTC)

Archrelated
I was reading a conversation from a while back at Talk:Warriors, and noticed your comments about the misuse of the archrelated parameter. Regardless of the original intention of the parameter, it's rarely used that way. Some other uses I can see being appropriate, but at some points, it can get pretty ridiculous. See here for a nice example. Judging by how often it gets misused, I think some clarification is really needed, or we it's intended use needs to change.

Tragoedia -> Kar
I have just received my monthly issue of the English Shonen JUMP. In it, there is a Yu-Gi-Oh! timeline, which encompasses the mangas. It notes that the main antagonist (or at least would hint to being the main antagonist) as a being/person/entity named Kar. The text box reads: "Yu-Gi-Oh! wouldn't be Yu-Gi-Oh! without an ancient Egyptian villain! In GX, Kar is the Pharoah's ex-philosopher who desires the spirit cards for his own sinister scheme.". A couple other important text groupings on the timeline: "Two Americans, David Rabb and Reggie McKenzie, visit the Duel Academy, but they're not there just to hone their Dueling skills. They've got their eyes set on two spirit cards-Jaden's Winged Kuriboh and Chazz's Light and Darkness Dragon." and "The dark Shadow Games reemerge, as the Americans are willing to risk everything to obtain the spirit cards for their leader Kar.". (all bold and italic text is bold and/or italic in the manga, along with any and all misspellings seen here) The short over-view of Kar is parallel to the bio of Tragoedia. If you would like, I can give pictures of the manga page. DemonGodAsura (talk • contribs) 06:28, January 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * It doesn't give specific dates, just the volume of the GX manga that each of the above text describes. However, the description of Kar is not accompanied with any volume. Would you like that? DemonGodAsura (talk • contribs) 16:26, January 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * I meant would you like the volume number that is associated with each text box. This is the description of Kar: "Yu-Gi-Oh! wouldn't be Yu-Gi-Oh! without an ancient Egyptian villain! In GX, Kar is the Pharoah's ex-philosopher who desires the spirit cards for his own sinister scheme."
 * This matches Tragoedia's ancient past, but seems to not be Principal MacKenzie. Also, the names are given as McKenzie, rather than MacKenzie. DemonGodAsura (talk • contribs) 19:48, January 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * From what I've heard, volume four of the English manga does correctly call him Tragoedia, but I can't confirm that myself. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 21:18, January 31, 2011 (UTC)
