Typo fixing and name changes
Hey Deltaneos, we can maintain a local typo list that AWB will use. Currently, it only uses one list (on Wikia, it defaults to Wikipedia's list if a given Wikia wiki doesn't have a local list), but a developer has said he'd add functionality to support loading from multiple lists. Regardless of that, though, we could set up a local typo list to update card, character, etc. names as official English names are confirmed. We could also maintain a list of typos specific to our wiki, like the seemingly endless possible permutations of "Yu-Gi-Oh!". I've got a pretty lengthy IRC chat log on the general subject from the discussion I had with the AWB developer; I already have his permission to post it and can do so if you want more info. 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000 23:59, June 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * Older names are distinct from typos. Typos can crop-up at any time and should be fixed every time they appear.
 * After a page is moved to match a name change, if you go through "what links here" and update the name on every page that linked to the old title, it's unlikely that the old title will be used again (except where it's supposed to).
 * The old titles are sometimes used in places that shouldn't be changed to the newest title. For example the "translated name" section in infoboxes and tables and the "known as X in the Japanese version" line at the start of character articles. English language video games sometimes give different names to cards that hadn't been released in English at the time, to the names that they end up getting when released in the TCG. So articles about a video game should use whatever name is used in that video game. Same with anime and manga.
 * Unlike typos, we're not going to be constantly on the lookout to update every name that's ever been changed and we won't want to change every instance of the old title. -- Deltaneos (talk) 22:50, June 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I understand all that. The typo list could still be useful for updating old names, though, especially since you can't run AWB in bot mode if typo correction is turned on. Besides that, the dev said he'd add support for multiple typo lists, and possibly even loading lists from custom URLs/local lists, sometime soon, meaning we could set up a list specifically for fixing old names, alongside a standard local typo list, if we wanted to. 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000 01:09, June 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * Okay. I guess that could work. -- Deltaneos (talk) 12:35, June 10, 2010 (UTC)

Re: WC09 clones
Well, yes. They appear when you use the "Unlock every opponent in free mode" Action Replay code. Normally, they only appear in Story Mode. Their decklists are the right ones, but their images cannot be generated in Free Mode. (Actually, they're supposed to be clones of you, I don't see why these images appear. Probably Free Mode is coded in such a way that it doesn't use your image.) Lon3wolf 23:43, June 9, 2010 (UTC)

Re: WC10
About your previous edit on that WC10 template - it is a title, so shouldn't all non-conjunction words start with a capital letter?

Thanks in advance,

Vandalism
Ummm...hi. Look, i wouldn't bother you but this is very annoying. Could you please consider blocking the user with the IP adress 94.64.72.78? (sorry don't know how to create a link with an IP adress) He has vandalised almost all the monsters that belong to the Lightsworns archetype. He has replaced the greek names with offensive words in greek. Generally, the lightsworns have fallen victims to many vandalisms regarding the greek names. I know this guy hasn't edited a thing for a long time but still, it would be better this way. Or maybe you could post a request to stop to his Talk Page --Montechristo95 22:40, June 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, i guess you are right. I'm gonna tell ya if the guy tries anything funny again. Thanks for your response. --Montechristo95 23:07, June 11, 2010 (UTC)

Proposal: Moving Egyptian God Pages
I think that most people searching for Obelisk and Ra are wanting the legal cards now, not the illegal God Card versions. I recommend moving Obelisk the Tormentor and The Winged Dragon of Ra to pages with (Egyptian God) tacked on. Also recommend that the Effect Monster versions be moved into the pages that were held by the God Cards before the above move. Failing that, simply making those pages disambiguation pages would be nice. (Slifer could probably be moved as well for consistency, although with no legal version, this isn't needed.)

Card of Sanctity
Hey Deltaneos, I don't mean to bitch about something so not-actually-important, but is it possible we could do something about this?

I'm pretty sure the picture of the promo version of Card of sanctity is shopped. The promo version had the effect where both players draw until they have 6 cards, not the lame remove everything to draw 2 effect. Why does this site not acknowledge the existence of the original card?

Card Gallery:Card of Sanctity

A (legit) picture of the promo version is nearly impossible to find, but I swear the dang thing exists. I was thumbing through an old Yu-Gi-Oh! magazine and I saw it. Skullvarnish 05:06, June 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * First of all, my apologies to Pcouw. I was not aware there was a Promo version of Card of Sanctity with the remove everything to draw 2 effect. So, that's my bad.
 * Anyways, the magazine is Beckett Yu-gi-oh! Unofficial Collector. They've always seemed to be a very legit source; I haven't noticed any mistakes so far. I saw a picture of a promo version with the effect "Each player draws cards until they have 6 cards in their hand". I saw it in the Feb./Mar. 2005 issue where it was talking about how they gave out 100 copies through a special promotion. Then, it was pictured again in the Aug./Sept. 2005 issue in an article about the 20 most valuable cards at that time. This version of the card has the number "MOV-EN010". Unfortunately, I've not been able to find any other pictures of it. Now, I'm actually doubting its existence, but I still feel it's worth looking into.


 * It could be a hoax. I just don't see why Beckett would try to pass it off as legit.Skullvarnish 16:17, June 15, 2010 (UTC)

Card trivia conflict?
Just stumbled onto a (now over) edit war over [|this]. Do you think it's notable? I've mulled over it a bit and was going to remove it but I didn't want another edit war >.> Toob (Leave a message) 17:13, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

Arcana Force
I recently created this page: Card Names:Arcana Force 0 - The Fool. I added some info i found regarding the word "arcana". I want to know if you are ok with it. If you are, should I add it to all the arcana monsters' card names pages? Plus, am I allowed to add the source of the info? --Montechristo95 11:08, June 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * Dinoguy1000 added links to this site. Is it ok or should i create another link? Btw do you really believe I should put it on the trivia page? --Montechristo95 20:57, June 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * Ok, in that case i'm gonna remove it from the card names page and add it to the main article. Thanks for the help! --Montechristo95 21:22, June 15, 2010 (UTC)

Model Kits
Should this be deleted? It's not spam, but it has no sources and contains lots of conjecture. Not to mention mediocre grammar. I'd have listed it for deletion, but that could have triggered some flame/edit wars. So, I'm asking you - delete it or not? Thanks. --Darth Covah (Talk | DeckZone | Binder) 16:51, June 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * Okay. So, I guess we should move the page to the name "Yu-Gi-Oh! Deluxe Model Kit" (or is there another page renaming process?), then edit it so that it... makes more sense I guess. Thanks Deltaneos. --Darth Covah (Talk | DeckZone | Binder) 19:10, June 15, 2010 (UTC)

Also, I've basically finished looking for any pages left over from the custom namespace deployments; if there are any left at all, they're at very nonstandard page titles. In the process, I found 3 more unreachable titles, and I have emailed Wikia staff to delete them and also to see about fixing unviewable page logs/history. I can provide you a copy of my email if you'd like. Cheers! 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000 20:20, June 15, 2010 (UTC)

Abuses to Yu-Gi-Oh! Wikia
There are a seemingly increasing amount of cases in which Unregistered Contributors create and edit pages with nonsensical titles or information respectively. I don't think that standard Wikia users and administrators should be responsible for reverting such edits and deleting such pages.Scizor99 02:17, June 16, 2010 (UTC)

Amazon(ess) Archer
If you inspect the list on Shriek's TCG site more closely you'll find that it's riddled with errors due to the fact that his source was somewhat dubious. I do know the difference between the two cards, I simply made that edit based on the fact that I swear down I remember seeing a forum post by a Konami representative stating that Amazon Archer would be reprinted in Gold Series 3 and that her name would be fixed. As it turns out, that seemingly has not happened. DanieruLynx 17:55, June 16, 2010 (UTC)
