Hey
Long time no see, Delta.

Quick question: How do you edit the text that shows up on the Special:Upload page? I've gone and forgotten since the last time I (likely) asked this. Lord Grammaticus (talk • contribs) 16:19, January 6, 2014 (UTC)

Yo. Good to hear from you.

The page is w:c:streetfighter:MediaWiki:Uploadtext. You can view our previous conversation, if you want more details. -- Deltaneos (talk) 20:17, January 6, 2014 (UTC)

Question
Hey Delt, can you clear up on Pokemon wikia that users do have the right to remove comments off their own page regardless of weather or not the comment was harmful? They don't seem to understand, and it's grinding on my nerves. Shardsilver (talk • contribs) 12:35, January 7, 2014 (UTC)

This is pretty interesting. Apparently admin Rainbow Shifter says that you can remove insults, harassment, rudeness etc, just that you're supposed to archive normal or warning comments rather than just only remove. You'll have to apply that here too then. Shardsilver (talk • contribs) 18:07, January 7, 2014 (UTC)

Read the policy, and I've throughly told him it, so if he continues he'll have to sadly be reported. Shardsilver (talk • contribs) 20:48, January 7, 2014 (UTC)

Different wikis can have different rules. I think the only stuff that every wiki on Wikia has to let you remove is anything that violates the terms of use. And I think she was inviting you to create a forum on that wiki, not this one. Our community can't tell theirs what to do, but if their own community wants to change, that's well and good. -- Deltaneos (talk) 21:50, January 7, 2014 (UTC)


 * I didn't know that different wikias had different rules (thank you for bringing that to my attention though). Well this is my most visited wiki, so I figured it wouldn't hurt to have one discussion here first. Of course I wouldn't try to suggest two communitys trying to tell each other what to do (that's their decisions in their respective community/wikia, just like we have our own decisions here). I plan to start one over there, just not at the moment (I'm not there very much after all). Shardsilver (talk • contribs) 21:58, January 7, 2014 (UTC)

Card article redesign
I don't know if you noticed, but I posted something to your somewhat-old thread about redesigning the card articles. And I wanted to say it again here: your ideas are excellent, and what you've come up with is a massive improvement. Hopefully it can keep going forward, since discussion appears to have died off. —烏Γ (kaw at me), 07:09, January 17, 2014 (UTC)

Greek name not shown!
Hey Deltaneos! Do you know why the Greek name in this card is not shown? ATEMVEGETA (Talk) 23:21, January 23, 2014 (UTC)

Unofficial languages were removed from view on the card table. They only exist as semantic data now.

So stuff like " " = "" and Special:Browse/Swordsman from a Distant Land still show the Greek name, but you don't see the information on the card table.

Question
Didn't Shooting Star Dragon and Quaser have Accel/Limit Over Synchro printed on their anime japanese text, (Blueapple brought this up before, so I wanted to ask)? Shardsilver (talk • contribs) 23:52, February 1, 2014 (UTC)


 * Oh, the one-point lesson "T.G. Blade Baster" didn't have "Accel" printed on it, so I assumed none of the "Accel Synchro Monsters" or "Delta Accel Synchro Monsters" had it. But on inspection, they do. -- Deltaneos (talk) 00:05, February 2, 2014 (UTC)

RFA Template, etc.
Hi, Deltaneos! Over at gaming.wikia they're trying to build an RFA process similar to what is on this wikia. The problem is that some of the components were deleted a while back; I've hunted down what I can, but there's still pieces missing. Probably most importantly is the ability for the archive to work properly.

Since you appear to be the primary person that created the whole process and templates here, I was wondering if you might be willing to take some time to go over things at the gaming wikia with a fine tooth comb from top to bottom? I know it's asking a lot, but I'd be very (eternally) grateful for your help. If you can, let me know if there's any temp rights you might need :) Thanks for your time and consideration! Raylan13 ( talk ) 21:20, February 4, 2014 (UTC)

That system relies on Semantic Mediawiki, an extension that could be enabled per-wiki in the past. Unfortunately, Wikia don't offer that option anymore. It might be possible to achieve something similar with DPL (DynamicPageList). -- Deltaneos (talk) 19:45, February 5, 2014 (UTC)

Not sure if you care but I thought I'd let an admin know that, this wiki is using your content without proper attribution. — S im A nt 23:24, February 8, 2014 (UTC)

Thanks. I hope the warning from Semanticdrifter sorts things out. -- Deltaneos (talk) 23:55, February 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * It doesn't, SemanticDrifter said I couldn't ask for the content of other wiki's to be attributed. So an actual member of the community the content is from has to do it. — S im A nt 13:40, February 10, 2014 (UTC)

O_o That's weird. Where did he say that? In that case, I've left a message on that wiki. -- Deltaneos (talk) 20:23, February 10, 2014 (UTC)
 * I was told via special contact that you had to be contributed to the article or at the very least be an admin to ask for content to be attributed. As for a url in the edit summary, from what I read in the license it seems to indicate to me in section 4c that all the items in 4c have to part of the same credits.

Chapter Links
Cheesedude told me to bring this to you if I couldn't sort it out. A day or two ago, I created pages for Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelist chapter 161, 162, and 163. The problem is, while 162 acknowledges 161 and 163 as the previous and next respectively, neither of those chapters has a link to 162 in their respective previous/next sections. Do you haev any clue what might be going on? Sanokal K-T (talk • contribs) 05:21, March 3, 2014 (UTC)

Yeah, I see what's going on.

Short answer: I've just null edited Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelist - Duel 162 to force some stuff to update.

Long answer: You might have heard of Semantic MediaWiki? It's the thing we use to store information on a page in a way that other pages can access that information. In this case Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelist - Duel 161 and Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelist - Duel 163 are trying to get information from Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelist - Duel 162. Usually when this isn't working, it means one of two things: Sometimes you need to do both. -- Deltaneos (talk) 21:30, March 3, 2014 (UTC)
 * The page storing the information needs to be updated to send the latest information. You can force it to do this by editing it, even if you null edit it i.e. click save/publish without making changes.
 * The pages extracting the information need to be "refreshed" to ensure they are receiving the latest information from the other page. You can force them to do this add ?action=purge to the end of their URLs. e.g. yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Yu-Gi-Oh!_Duelist_-_Duel_161?action=purge

Manga
Yo, I noticed you've been working in the original manga. I finished working on R, so I thought I'd give some help in the original manga, since it really needs a lotta work. I've finished adding info for the last chapters of the Duelist Kingdom, and now comes the D.D.D. mini-arc. I was thinking, should we add something like "Featured Game" in the non-Duel Monsters chapters of the original manga? Not only D.D.D., but other games take place in the original manga too, like in chapter 135 (76 of Duelist), where Otogi challenges Jonouchi and Yugi to a game using trump cards. LegendaryAsariUgetsu (talk • contribs) 15:59, March 3, 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the help. I see you've since created Four Aces. Good work. If you want to also include the featured games sections on the corresponding chapter pages, I think that's fine. -- Deltaneos (talk) 21:38, March 3, 2014 (UTC)


 * I did so for Yugi and Otogi's D.D.D. match, but after doing so, I changed my mind, I think that minor games like Four Aces can stay in their own articles. Or we can add something like "Featured Games" in the chapter articles, then put a "Main|Four Aces" thing. As a side note, I don't even know the rules of D.D.D., I added the summary just saying what happened, so maybe there are wording mistakes and stuff like that. :P LegendaryAsariUgetsu (talk • contribs) 22:04, March 3, 2014 (UTC)
 * Oh, also. You think it's worth it creating individual articles for the duels and games (like Yami Yugi and Mai's Duel and Dark Yugi and Mokuba's pre Death-T Capsule Monster Chess game for example)? 'Cause, they are added in the chapter articles already. Also, I've noticed the "games" template has a link to "Four Aces", and between parentheses, an individual article for both Jonouchi's and Yugi's matches, for example; I added everything in one single article smoothly, I think there's no need to all those aditional pages. Just a personal opinion though. LegendaryAsariUgetsu (talk • contribs) 22:09, March 3, 2014 (UTC)

I considered articles on Duels and long games to be significant events from the series. Like characters, tournaments, etc. the information can be obtained by reading consecutive chapter/episode pages, but the reader might also be interested in a dedicated page with the overview, quick stats and all the cards used.

The individual four aces games articles, I'm not too pushed about anymore. I had considered using SMW to store information on games, including players and winners, so you could quickly look up what games a character took part in, what medium it was in (anime, manga etc.), if they won and who they beat. To set that up, every game was going to need its own page. That's also why I had been using, rather than   in the infoboxes. But I don't think I'll be bothering with that. Too many problems with that system and that kind of information can already be found out quickly enough without SMW. -- Deltaneos (talk) 22:32, March 3, 2014 (UTC)


 * I see. Just to be sure though, should I use "Dark Yugi (manga)" or "Yami Yugi"? I've been using "Dark Yugi (manga)" (same with Bakura-chan). LegendaryAsariUgetsu (talk • contribs) 02:17, March 4, 2014 (UTC)

Hey, it's been awhile. I know I kind of disappeared without saying much (college can do that), but I've been checking up on this place over the past few years and it still looks well kept. Recently a friend of mine started a YGO tournament in my area. I did not go, as my deck is a few years out of date and nowhere near tournament grade. However, I've been thinking about coming back and casually editing. Not sure yet though. Anyway, how have you been? D.Kaiser 06:03, April 1, 2014 (UTC)

Changes for April 2014
I believe the April 2014 Forbidden/Limited Lists are in effect, but the changes haven't been applied to certain cards on this Wiki. If you could please get someone to apply those changes, that would be great. --''' Yes, it's PSYCHID! He talks! He does stuff!''' 16:18, April 9, 2014 (UTC)

Standing vs. Ground
Hey Delta, I was referred to you by Cheesedude with this question. Do you know exactly where the term "Ground Duel" came from? I watched 5D's and only heard them being referred to as "Standing Duels". Thanks. TheScarecrow14 (talk • contribs) 13:55, April 25, 2014 (UTC)

Nowhere official that I'm aware of. Janime is where I first saw it used. If they're called "Standing Duels" in the anime, I'd definitely go with that. -- Deltaneos (talk) 16:48, April 25, 2014 (UTC)

Attributes Variant Icons
Hi DeltaNeos,

i was looking for someone like you. You seem to understand how to programm in wiki media. I've made these small images for the attribute which fit much better into flowing text. Of course they are unofficial. It's kinda weird that you revert something that is made specially for this wiki that can be used much better in text or in lists.

I would like to have lists that show up like this: Can you help with that?

Is it ok if i revert your revert on attributes? Your reasoning for the revert is off. It's not that i created a new fictional card or something. Those icons are made that they are smaller and fit better. I could also make round ones if required.

Best regards Jan

Template:Manga card
Could you please add an appearance parameter for Yu-Gi-Oh! D Team ZEXAL? --  The Talk Goblin 20:21, June 21, 2014 (UTC)

D Team Zexal card information is something I'm unsure what to do with. Manga card exists because cards from the other manga series tend to be different from their OCG counterparts. So we can document them separately and have less conflicting information. But as far as I know, the cards used in D Team are the exact same as their OCG counterparts, which makes the separation pointless. And cards that appear in both D Team and another manga series could have conflicting properties.

But I'm at a loss as to where D Team chapter appearances should be documented. If you still think they should go on Manga card, please say so. -- Deltaneos (talk) 20:34, June 21, 2014 (UTC)

Large set of deletions
There are a large set of redirects that need deleting, because they are theoretical setcodes which correspond the a series of sets being released in a language they were not. Rather than tagging them individually, I figured it would be more efficient to ask an admin directly.

Specifically, I am requesting that Spanish setcode redirects for all sets in the Champion Pack series from Champion Pack: Game Three (CP03-SP001 through to CP03-SP020) up to and including Champion Pack: Game Eight (CP08-SP001 through to CP08-SP020) be deleted. These sets were not released in Spanish, something which can be verified using the official card database. -- Snorlax Monster  07:31, June 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * Just realized there was a significant error in my request. It's Four through Eight, not Three through Eight. Three was released in Spanish. Sorry about the mistake. -- Snorlax Monster  13:09, June 22, 2014 (UTC)

Card Page Redesign?
Hey Delta, was just wondering what the progress is any was on the Card Page Redesign that was discussed? -- Dark Ace SP  ( Talk Page ) 21:06, June 27, 2014 (UTC)

Honest answer; it's on indefinite hiatus. I should have focused on it more when I was more active. While I'd love to see it rolled out, I just can't prioritise it anymore.

Main card pages were like Gemini Elf (temp) last I was working on it. I wanted to move all non-OCG/TCG info to their own pages first. "Card Name (Bandai)", "Card Name (FMR)", "Card Name (manga)" etc. So that info doesn't get lost when the main pages get converted to the new format.

Problems:
 * I was last working on creating separate pages for manga card e.g. Swordstalker (manga). There's a few things about that format I'm not too happy about, such as the "Decks" section.
 * Indecisiveness every step of the way.
 * I'm unsure about how to handle all the video game cards that have the exact same effect as their OCG/TCG selves.

Problem/benefit: -- Deltaneos (talk) 00:20, June 28, 2014 (UTC)
 * We'll probably be getting Scribunto in the near future, which should make the code a hundred times cleaner, but would require rewriting a lot of things. I have barely looked into how to use this. Dinoguy might have more knowledge than me on this.


 * Cheesedude did mention that Dino was pretty happy with getting Lua. Well, it's good to know the status, I kinda figured it was placed on hold. As for the Manga deck section, do you not like that it didn't link or just how it looks? -- Dark Ace SP  ( Talk Page ) 00:47, June 28, 2014 (UTC)

I don't like how it looks and I'm not sure we'll even be creating the pages I've been linking to. -- Deltaneos (talk) 20:55, June 30, 2014 (UTC)

Apoqliphoth Killer
Hi! :D

On this monster's Tips page, it is said:

"Activate 'Skill Drain' before this card is Summoned, in order to negate its effects. However, if you activate 'Skill Drain' after this card is Summoned, this card will be unaffected by it."

Is this correct? I mean, the effect that makes it immune to Spell/Trap Cards is a Continuous Effect, so what's the difference between activating Skill Drain before or after it is Normal Summoned?

Annoying Orange (talk • contribs) 14:00, July 19, 2014 (UTC)


 * I doubt he'd know more than me when it comes to rulings. Basically, look at similar rulings for "Skill Drain" vs. "Jinzo" or "Vennominaga the Deity of Poisonous Snakes"; whichever card is on the field first, overwhelms the others. --UltimateKuriboh (talk • contribs) 14:27, July 19, 2014 (UTC)

Manga galleries
Sorry we haven't talked in a while, Del, but nice job on those manga card galleries, Del! Planning anything else similar when you're done with them? By the way, I didn't know Arkana's doll monster was called "Malice Doll of Demise" in the manga; is this an indication that Malice Doll of Demise is intended to be the same card as Doll of Demise, and it was just released a lot later than its debut? That has happened before. Rod (talk • contribs) 22:00, August 24, 2014 (UTC)

Hey Rod. Good to hear from you.

Well, I would like to do the same for the spin-off manga series, the anime arcs and all the video games, but realistically, I don't think I'll have time.

"Doll of Demise" only got the "Malice" in its English manga name. The Japanese anime and manga versions of the card are both simply "Doll of Demise". But there have been several cases where Japanese names have changed / cards been replaced between manga, anime and OCG.


 * Same in the manga and OCG. Different in the anime:
 * "Mystical Moon"/"Full Moon"
 * "De-Spell"/"Cursebreaker"
 * "Shift"/"Monster Replace"
 * "Metalmorph"/"Magic Metal Force"
 * "Trap Hole"/"Chasm of Spikes"
 * "Soul Exchange"/"Cross Sacrifice"
 * "Lightning Vortex"/"Raigeki" (Debatable. And the only instance where both exist in the OCG.)
 * "Nightmare Wheel"/"Scratch Wheel"
 * "Viser Des"/"Holding Arms" (If you count censoring replacements.)
 * "Byser Shock/"Holding Legs" (If you count censoring replacements.)
 * "Poseidon Wave"/"Zeus' Breath" (Another censor. I might be going out of scope with this one.)
 * Same in the manga and anime. Different in the OCG:
 * "Reflect Bounder"
 * "Eradicating Aerosol"/"Insecticide"
 * "Malice Doll of Demise"/"Doll of Demise"

I think they decided it was best to ensure the anime and OCG versions had different names, since they had different effects. Despite the fact that this often meant the manga and anime versions would have different names, while having the same effects or lack of. And I don't know why they decided to do it for some, but not all.
