Categories for missing images and numbers
Regarding this revision by Deltaneos, I see where you're coming from with the number category (although this could be sidestepped by putting, for instance, none if a card has no number, or perhaps unknown for those cards that have numbers that are not known). However, I see no real reason to not use an automatic category for cards lacking an image, just because some card pages need a better-quality one. Since poor-quality versus high-quality images cannot be distinguished by a template, there is no reason to try and have the template to determine it automatically, nor is there any reason not to allow the template to automatically categorize those card pages without images. Any thoughts? Oh, I suppose I should point out, too, I was the one who made that +categories edit, my session just expired before I had posted it and I hadn't noticed... =P — Dino guy  1000  22:40, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah sure. We can put back the embedded Category:Cards that need Card Images and just manually add it to the articles that need better quality ones. The number one is a bit more difficult: we can add the embedded category and set number = none, for cards that that don't have any (but set it so the number won't section display if number = none). Problem is going through all pages that don't have numbers and adding the parameter.
 * I'm not mad about the idea with the set numbers. I've no problem just continuing to manually add the category. But let's add the need images one. -- Deltaneos 16:46, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
 * All right, I'll add the image category back in (unless, of course, you beat me to it). The number category isn't nearly so important, and it should probably be discussed some first. — Dino guy  1000  16:50, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Done. — Dino guy  1000  16:55, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

Categorizing the categories
Would anyone object to categorizing the ATK, DEF, level, etc. categories? I was thinking of a naming scheme along the lines of Category:Monsters by ATK or something similar. Any thoughts? Oh, and by the way, the documentation really needs updated... I'll see what I can do about that (I'm thinking of listing the categories that articles get auto-sorted into). — Dino guy  1000  18:19, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, go ahead with categorising the categorising the categories that way. -- Deltaneos 18:22, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Cards with a custom "color" field
After the edits I made to help clean up the template some, I found that cards using a custom value for the color field may break. In fact, the card listed as an example higher up on this page - The Eye of Timaeus - is how I found the problem in the first place. Therefore, when editing or creating a card page using a custom color, the color should be added as an RGB triplet (e.g. "000000" for black or "FFFFFF" for white, etc.). You should not use quotation marks or a number sign as these will break the template. This isn't a bug in the template per se, but just the way I had to make the edits. — Dino guy  1000  20:02, 31 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Your edit broke the page, it was fine beforehand. The quotes and hash mark are correct.--TwoTailedFox (My Talk Page) 20:05, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * That's wierd, I had previewed my edit multiple times, and it seemed to look fine without the quotes and hash... My bad, in any case. If it's really fine, you can ignore my above remark. — Dino guy  1000  20:08, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that really was my bad... I got color and color2 mixed up. In any case, it should be fine. — Dino guy  1000  20:14, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Hidding unused cardname translation spaces
Hi came just to tell you I was gonna add a new wiki script on the template so cardnames in languages other than english and japanes are hidden if nothing is typed on their respective equation spaces. --Andersmusician $  17:42, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Ding dong, they already are. -- Deltaneos 10:01, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I have mistaken, i didn't mean to hide just the flag and the language, but also the cell which contains it. --Andersmusician $  18:08, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Hmmm yeah, I see what you mean, but that was also fixed yesterday. -- Deltaneos 18:11, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
 * you 're right man, I didn't notice, I returned here after a while just yesterday, my Cache stuff just didn't reload, sorry guys --Andersmusician $  18:15, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
 * 'sokay, help's still appreciated. -- Deltaneos 18:20, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

image too big
i think the image width for card is too big. i think 200px is better Landavia 04:13, 9 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Are you using 800x600 resolution? The site is ideally viewed at 1280x1024. It does seem unfair for viewers using 800x600, but I think there's a way to adjust the image size proportional to the width of the page. There is a chance we could end up using that in the future. -- Deltaneos (talk) 13:09, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

problem
i have just seen a problem with the TSC number part of the card table when ive inputed the card number for cards it now shows a warning sign with a popup that says “:Template:Tscnumber]]}” cannot be used as a page name in this wiki. --Rkdew0 15:17, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

now the tscnumber2 is interfering when a card only has 1 tsc number the page shows the number & status unknown

ex. Dragon Treasure's tscnumber box on the article page shows 	 #315 Status Unknown


 * Fixed.--TwoTailedFox (My Talk Page) 08:18, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

english lore prob
ok i dont no if its just me but after ive edited a card page ive looked at the english card lore, it there but the lore is tryin 2 link 2 a page, on normal monsters, which isnt there so the whole text appears in red, but on cards like effect, spells, etc. it shows an ! and a message pops up thats shows the card lore and says cannot be used as a page name in this wiki--Rkdew0 05:20, 23 July 2008 (UTC)


 * That is why there is a message at the top of every page reading,
 * There is currently a problem with English Card Lores not displaying. Please just be patient. We apologize for any inconvenience. [ dismiss ]
 * until you click [ dismiss ]. So like it says, please be patient. -- Deltaneos (talk) 09:56, 23 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I was also trying to say the english lore is trying say that the lore is a page.--Rkdew0 09:04, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
 * That's because it's being linked when it shouldn't be. There's a similar problem with Japanese names using ruby text. The problem isn't with CardTable2's coding. It's a technical issue, that's being addressed. -- Deltaneos (talk) 09:47, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

are you sure?: |- {{#if: {{{lore | }}} | {{!}} colspan="2" {{!}} Lore(s): {{#if: {{{lore | }}} | {{DynamicNavigationBox
 * - style="vertical-align: top; text-align: center;"
 * TITLE = {{FlagLang|en}}English:
 * CONTENT = {{#ifeq: {{{dv|}}} | Special | [[Image:DVnote.png]] }} Lore::{{{lore}}}
 * ALIGN = left }} }}

it looks to me that the formatting applied is ...  but this is only the second wiki i have ever worked with. Psudobuddha 15:01, 25 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes, ... is usually used to add links, but in this case, it's Lore::{{{lore}}} . Notice the double colon notation? This makes {{{lore}}} a value for Property:Lore. Since Property:Lore, uses Type:Text and not Type:Page, the result should not be linked.
 * Just rest assured, that is being fixed. -- Deltaneos (talk) 15:14, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Dark Duel Stories
In the 1st English released Yu-Gi-Oh! VG Dark Duel Stories have Cadr Deck costs and Card numbers which i think should be added to this template--Rkdew0 04:46, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Unneeded parts?
In the lower table can we remove the Anime and manga section. Since it defaults to Not Present, on pages short of an update we're getting a few reports from people pointing out that it is present in animes where its listed as Not Present. And it's already possible to tell which anime and mangas the card is in with the Card Appearances section listing the episodes and chapters.

The TCG/OCG Statuses are more important than everything else in the lower table. People tend to be uninterested in the bottom section, so they don't notice this part. I think they should be deserving of going on the main table.

Again with the video game status section, since they Default to Status Unknown and many pages are in need of the update, we're getting reports from a number of people pointing out that the card does exist in particular games. I'm sure this section is too important. Maybe it is for non-OCG/TCG video game cards. Since they are in the minority, it could be included on the main table, only appearing when a value is entered. Also the video game articles link to their own list pages. -- Deltaneos (talk) 11:40, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Broken Code
There is alot of broken code in this template and in CardTable3, which I think came from TwoTailedFox's recent edits. Some of things the code affects is the lore section, which shows " 216.82.251.227 21:22, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
 * This is unrelated to the Template, and it has nothing to do with my recent edits. SemanticMediaWiki, the extension we used, has ceased to allow Text in Properties with WikiLinks in them. We are trying to get this functionality back via a backdoor option, please be patient while we implement this.--TwoTailedFox (My Talk Page) 21:26, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
 * As for the red links, these will link to Articles for Queries, where users can instantly view Monster Cards with matching ATK/DEF/Level values

Questions: whats the difference between support and related?

PS: whats a good property for "Fusion Material Monster"?

--Hanmac 10:17, 27 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Errors fixed, but the Archetype boxes were done differently. The only cases where a card falls into two of archetype, support and related was if it was both arcehtype and support. A card cannot be considered related to an Archetype and part of the Archetype or support for the Archetype, so it was unnecessary to avoid repeated boxes for such cases. And support should not repeat it matches any of the archetypes (of any number), not just one numbered the same as it.
 * The difference between support and related is a card is considered related if it is somehow connected to the Archetype, but does not support the Archetype as a whole. For example "Miracle Fusion" is considered "Elemental Hero" support, as it affects "Elemental Hero" monsters. "Bubble Blaster" supports "Elemental Hero Bubbleman" specifically, but not "Elemental Hero" monsters. It is considered related as it is connected to 1 member of the Archetype. If "Bubble Shot" was considered "Elemental Hero" support, "Amplifier" would be considered Machine support. Other cards that don't specifically refer to the Archetype or any of its members specifically, but is definitely part of the series, such as "Fallen Angel's Bewitchment" to "Fallen Angel" monsters, are also considered to be related. -- Deltaneos (talk) 20:44, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Elemental_Hero_Divine_Neos << shows spaces between the boxes .. is it ok? {{unsigned|Hanmac|20:44, 15 April 2009 (UTC)}}


 * That was phantom spacing. It happens when you add line breaks outside of {{#if:}} s. Fixed now. -- Deltaneos (talk) 21:04, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

WC5 lore
the code for the wc5 lore is put as "wc4lore" which doesnt allow you to put in the WC5 lore

--Rkdew0 00:15, 19 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Fixed.--TwoTailedFox (My Talk Page) 00:17, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

dpcost
why is the dpcost linking? --hanmac


 * Because the Property doesn't exist. If a non-existing Property is added to something, the value becomes a link by default. -- Deltaneos (talk) 20:00, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
 * and what should we do with it? --hanmac

wc09 lore and sets
the template have o entry for wc09 --hanmac

also eerie is wc5 but wc07 .. should we use a equal syntax? --hanmac


 * wc09lore and wc09_sets are now added. The earlier World Championship video games do not have the 0 in their parameter names, because they're named after the set id used on their promotional cards. World Championship 2005 was released back when set ids, consisted of only 3 characters. World Championship 2007 was released after they started using 4. -- Deltaneos (talk) 13:13, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

new entries
i need new entries for:
 * fusion material monsters
 * specific tuner for synrcos

and a no linking for the DP cost (or the property)

add hdg to Card Search Categories

add Yu-Gi-Oh! Destiny Board Traveler to vid types (mean like dbt_sets, dbt_name etc)

--hanmac


 * Fusion Material and Synchro Material monster properties are added. The DP cost being linked is nothing to do with ths page. Their properties should be created as Type:Numeric, then they won't be linked. DBT doesn't use sets. -- Deltaneos (talk) 20:57, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
 * i mean this a property for Road Warrior that says Road Synchron. so i can search all Synchro Monsters with does not need a Specific Tuner, or what should i do with Elemental Hero Burstinatrix? i think |summon1 = fusion material monsters did also function?
 * ok but DBT need a entry for medium and a value for dbt_name

--hanmac
