Lack of Interest
A lot of regular users haven't say a word about this, maybe we should tell them again to give their opinion. --Dragon Slayer 03:46, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, TwoTailedFox has poked a lot of users to provide input. Feel free to poke a few more. We'll just wait for feedback. I suppose we'll go till about a week or two from the most recent bit of input (So it keeps jumping ahead as discussion goes) and if we get to a week or two, and there is no undismissed concerns on it, then we'd consider it ok. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen -local (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Nov 19, 2007 @ 07:16 (UTC)

 * Tally: 10 or 11 Support, 13 or 14 Neutral, 4 Against --Dino guy 1000
 * New tally: Support->11, Neutral->13, Against->4 (However two of those Against have not commented on anything after the concerns that make them Against were addressed, and two of those are against because they don't see the point in joining while other users do see a benefit in it. Only one user has a solid reason for being against, but it appears that other users don't find what he thinks is an issue to be an issue). ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen -local (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Nov 28, 2007 @ 23:04 (UTC)

Since I'm always checking the Recent Changes I know who are the other active users that haven't voted so I'll tell them to do so. --Dragon Slayer 06:16, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

I've got no problem with it one way or the other, though I will have to object to anything that would result in formatting issues. Mallow 06:54, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

 * It worked, remember, we need your help to decide. --Dragon Slayer 16:13, 24 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Here is my point of view: I'm against the idea of joining an anime wiki. I think the yugioh wiki should stay the same ... --KevinSephiroth 23:30, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
 * It's not joining an Anime wiki. I thought I made the point that Wikia ACG and the Animepedia are not the same thing earlier on. Wikia ACG is a community project involving multiple wiki, it is not tied to any individual wiki. And the Yu-Gi-Oh! Wiki's content will not be merged into an Anime wiki. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen -local (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Nov 25, 2007 @ 02:03 (UTC)


 * I'm with KevinSephiroth on this one. Despite what you stated to me that the Yu-Gi-Oh! Wiki's content will not be merged into an Anime wiki, it will still be considered as an anime wiki even if everything is kept separate.  I'm against this notion. Minhtam2448 14:28, 25 November 2007 (UTC)


 * No it won't be considered a anime wiki. The project is called Wikia ACG. ACG is a Taiwanese acronym for "Anime, Comics, and Games", or in North American terms "Anime, Manga, Cartoons, Comics, and Video Games". If you'll take a look at every wiki in Wikia ACG (And there are a number of them), only the Animepedia is an anime-only wiki. And that's because it's topic by definition is anime. The AliceSoftWiki is part of Wikia ACG, and trust me. That's not an anime wiki. AliceSoft only makes games, eroge to be specific. So if a wiki about a company that makes eroge-games is part of Wikia ACG. Then how does that mean the Yu-Gi-Oh! Wiki which documents a Card Game, Video Game, and Anime/Manga series (with other media) would be considered a anime wiki by joining. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen -local (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Nov 26, 2007 @ 01:04 (UTC)


 * That's another thing: visual novels as produced by such franchises as AliceSoft and Key can still be considered that of an Anime genre. I understand where you're trying to come from with the ACG and it's acronym terms, but being affiliated with an Anime, Comics, Games, etc. Wiki will still be considered an Anime wiki regardless.  Maybe not to you, but by many people out there.  Minhtam2448 02:23, 27 November 2007 (UTC)


 * The same could be stated about MMKB but they're still considering on joining. But you also address the fact that Yu-Gi-Oh! Wiki is not a gaming only wiki. The Yu-Gi-Oh! Wiki documents the Card Game and the Anime/Manga fairly evenly. And Wikia ACG covers Animanga and Games which cross-over. You don't make decision on what a wiki is about by looking at what it's a part of, you look at the wiki itself. And looking at the Main Page of the wiki proves the point that the wiki isn't an anime-only wiki. Plus Wikia ACG may not be the only project of this type in the future, it's possible that a similar project doing Gaming wiki may be created, and the wiki is free to be a part of both projects. Just because some favor the gaming portions of the wiki doesn't mean that the fact that the wiki works on the animanga aspects of the series should be completely ignored. And I still don't get how you can say "Anime, Comics, Games, etc..." And still say that Yu-Gi-Oh! Wiki would be considered an Anime-only wiki when the word Games is right there in the list. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen -local (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Nov 27, 2007 @ 05:13 (UTC)


 * You've made some of your points on a few aspects, but I still question some of your other points. First off, I don't just make a decision on the wiki itself, but also by it's surroundings, and by joining any group, it becomes grouped with other wikis within that group, some of which share no similarities at all, and therefore it loses individual value.  Second, by creating an Anime-Comic-Game project, you have basically discriminated American animation from that list, and since not all games have been made in Japan, the fact that some sort of American game is placed in the anime-comic-game project will completely question it's validity of ever being part of a project.  Plus, there's also the possibility of misinterpreting a game - some people will define it as video games, especially with this project also taking account the anime, and while I understand that Yu-Gi-Oh in itself has its own video games, the validity of a Yu-Gi-Oh wiki being part of that group will also be questioned just because it's a card game.  That being said, you've been able to make your points thus far, but I am still against the notion of joining the ACG project. Minhtam2448 09:35, 30 November 2007 (UTC)


 * ACG is a Taiwanese term, in every country other than those in North America Anime and Cartoons are both referred to as Anime, and Manga and Comics are both referred to as Comics. As I already stated, the A and C in ACG in North American terms refers to Anime, Manga, Comics, and also Cartoons. So no, American animation is not discriminated from that list. As for the Games portion, the change from Games to Video Games was made by the source I got the information from, I'm not even sure why they made that conversion. But at any rate, ACG defines the G as "related games". So, to repeat what Wikia ACG's scope is, it's "Anime, Manga, Cartoons, Comics, and any game which is crossed over from, crosses over to, or is made in the same style as the other media formats in the scope." But, as that to being explained, the other users of the wiki don't appear to see it as an issue. Most are fine with it or see that there is more benefit to joining. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen -local (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Dec 1, 2007 @ 03:19 (UTC)

Top/Mid/Lower
In a note to Vyse24's note. I'm getting that there is some misunderstanding of what Top/Mid/Lower means in Wikia ACG. As defined at Wikia ACG Terminology it has nothing to do with how big a wiki is, how good a wiki is, etc... It's not a term used to separate the good from the bad. It's merely a guide to scope. Top-level is the generic wiki that cover the broad topics like Anime, Manga, etc... in general. The mid-level wiki are semi-focused, they don't focus on series, but they focus on companies or authors and work on the series that they make. And the lower-level wiki are focused on one universe.

Top-Mid-Lower defines their distance from a topic; Top being far away and covering the broader aspects. Mid being in-between where they're not generic, but not completely focused. And lower being lower, as in far closer and focused on the topic. However if that's causing confusion I should probably consider renaming the Top/Mid/Lower set into Generic/Grouped/Focused or make that Focused, Universe instead. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen -local (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Nov 26, 2007 @ 07:32 (UTC)

Prefixes to Namespaces
I don't know how many will understand, but I'll try and explain.

In MediaWiki we have what is known as a Namespace. This is the part before the : that you see on pages like Yu-Gi-Oh!:Community Portal and Yu-Gi-Oh!:About. But not every thing that is before : is a namespace, only certain things registered into the system are.

For some time now the Yu-Gi-Oh! Wiki has been using a set of 7 pages for each card: But these are not namespaces. Even though for some time they have been treated that way here.
 * Card name
 * Card Gallery:Card name
 * Card Rulings:Card name
 * Card Errata:Card name
 * Card Tips:Card name
 * Anime and Manga Appearances:Card name
 * Card Trivia:Card name

But if the community wants it, I could request that the techs do a bit of changes to the wiki to turn the 6 prefixes into namespaces.

If you're wondering what benefits this would give to the wiki, here's an explanation:
 * Firstly, currently on the CardTable templates, the code  is used to link to the card's Card Gallery. However, Template:Galleries requires that the name of the card be inputted and it uses that to link to the other pages. This is because   is a Magic Word in MediaWiki which returns the name of the page which is located after the Namespace. Just to demonstrate, when used here   outputs "" because the text "" in the title is a namespace. The namespace of a page can also be outputted using.
 * But what would turning Card Gallery: into a namespace do?
 * As simply put as I can it's like this:
 * Currently for the various Template:Galleries, Template:Tips, etc... you need to input the name of the card. If the 6 prefixes were converted into Namespaces then  would start to display the name of the card. This means that now, the templates can grab the name of the card on their own as the CardTables are able to do. ^_^ Suddenly you don't need to add the name of the card to the template. This also means that if a page is misplaced and you move it, then the template will automatically correct itself to point to the new links just as the normal card pages using Card tables do.
 * But it get's better... As I said before using  outputs the name of the namespace. Now, on the page Card Gallery:Blue-Eyes White Dragon using   would output "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" so this means that that has the card name. In addition, using   would output "Card Gallery". Which gives another bonus. Remember how there were 6 different templates, , , , , and  and you needed to use a specific one for each page. Well, because changing the prefixes to namespaces would let the templates also know what type of page they are on. So all 6 of those templates can be merged into one.
 * So what does that leave us with? Those index templates won't need input on the name, and all 6 templates can be merged. So now, if we call the new one Template:Index just sticking at the top of any of those pages will output the correct type of index, automatically with the card name. So those pages will now nicely work without needing user input on that.

So simply put...
 * This will allow you to use instead of needing to pick out a template and have user input on it.
 * Even after the change current links will still work so there's no downside.
 * And when you move pages everything will correct itself.

Don't worry about things that are currently in articles. I'm good with bots, so after the change I could easily have a bot change all the pages on it's own.

So is this something the wiki wants me to do? ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen -local (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Sep 26, 2007 @ 00:40 (UTC)


 * Another thing of note is that when you click on "Random page", you'd only land on a page in the main space. So making those pseudo-namespaces into real namespaces means they'd no longer be picked by random pages.  That may be a pro or a con. -Afker 19:54, 26 September 2007 (UTC)


 * That's true for Special:Randompage, but namespace is actually taken as a parameter. So Special:Randompage/Card Gallery would send you to a random gallery if the namespaces were created. Which is actually a bit of a positive because it means that most uses of Special:Randompage will give you a random card. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen -local (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Sep 26, 2007 @ 22:39 (UTC)

I have a bit of a chat log of me and Delta in IRC... It's got a few advantages listed there in a way that some may find easier to understand:  Dantman? Did you mention a problem with using String functions for those templates before?  Few minor ones...   I can't guarantee that StringFunctions will stay...    I'm using them myself, but this is a test case...    Wikia is testing enabling them globally to see if there are any issues.  There are potential issues with the extension that can lead to a Local DoS attack (Denial of Service, in other words so much stress something could crash the servers)  So Wikia is testing the extension out... But if it leads to any issues from that, then they may disable the extension.  The other is that it's a poor hack...   You're basically using StringFunctions to treat a prefix like a namespace when it's not a namespace...    It would be much more efficient and better done code wise to use real namespaces instead of imitations.  The templates are not the only reason that it's better...  So basically we're just going to have to wait, unless we decide to change the prefixes to namespaces  Wait?  For?  The other reasons that it's better lie in randomization and searches.  To see if they'll be disabling the extension <Dantman> Oh  <Dantman> Well if that happened we could revert back...   <Dantman> But I'm just saying...   <Dantman> It'll be easier to cast a vote on what the community wants first... Then act... <Deltaneos> They don't seem keen to vote. <Dantman> I'll explain the benifits in randomization first... <Dantman> You know Special:Random <Deltaneos> ya  <Dantman> Well that works for the main namespace...   <Dantman> You can actually pass a namespace parameter to it...   <Dantman> If you use Special:Random/image you'll get a random image page. <Deltaneos> Yeah I know how it works <Dantman> Ok  <Dantman> Here's the kick...   <Dantman> Right now, using Special:Random will give you a random Card, Gallery, A&M Page, etc... <Deltaneos> I kinda like Special:Random being able to land you in any of the prefixes. <Dantman> Oh <Deltaneos> Although I don't use it too often <Dantman> It would be nice to be able to split it up  <Dantman> You know... Splitting it up would actually make hits better...   <Dantman> Basically the Cards which were missing Eratta, A&M, Trivia, etc... Pages would no longer be weighted less than others...  <Dantman> It's also nice for searches...   <Dantman> We can make it so that all the new namespaces are searched by default...   <Dantman> But it also means that a user can selectively search for something within the namespaces...   <Dantman> So someone could specifically select trivia, and search for a set of words that are part of a triva item... <Deltaneos> Ah never thought of that. <Dantman> ^_^ We have some nice results from it on The Gaiapedia... <Dantman> http://gaia.wikia.com <Dantman> Take a look at the Characters/Items/Locations set there on the main page...  <Dantman> You can get an allpages list of all the Items we have listed... And even search them.. <Deltaneos> cool <Dantman> ((Though I don't know what's going on with Wikia's new search engine)) <Dantman> It also means you can filter the recent changes... <Deltaneos> Alright, you've almost got my vote. <Deltaneos> Are there any disadvantages. <Deltaneos> ? <Dantman> http://gaia.wikia.com/index.php?title=Special%3ARecentchanges&namespace=100 <Dantman> Ummm...  <Dantman> let's see...   <Dantman> A /dissadvantage/ one might face is if it were to break existing templates... <Dantman> That were using <Dantman> But even your new Navigation template uses instead so it won't even break... <Deltaneos> As in using it to print Card Trivia:XXXX <Dantman> Nah... <Deltaneos> ok  <Dantman> Or...   <Dantman> Well... <Dantman> I'm meaning that would then print Dark Magician instead of Card Gallery:Dark Magician <Deltaneos> Yeah I got it. <Dantman> So any template using instead of  would switch <Dantman> Then there's the random page thing...  <Dantman> You won't be able to do a random that goes through all of them...   <Dantman> But you can still do individual... <Deltaneos> I'll get over it  <Dantman> But it's not that bad because it actually makes randomized hits more random and works better... <Deltaneos> You're refering to the current way? <Dantman> No... I'm meaning that using prefixes will make randomized hits more random...  <Dantman> Using prefixes Special:Random will get you one of the Main namespace stuff... <Deltaneos> Yeah that's the current state <Dantman> Because the prefixed pages which are more like extensions of the Card pages are no longer in that section of the randomization <Deltaneos> Yes as in the current state is more random <Dantman> Not by card...  <Dantman> Basically by adding prefixes you'd make the random hit get you a random card, random character, etc...   <Dantman> But without using namespaces, the prefixed pages are included in that...   <Dantman> And the cards which are not missing Trivia, Eratta, etc... Pages will get hit more... <Deltaneos> Oh right, I see you meant cards with full other cards info were more likely to get one of their pages to appear <Dantman> If Dark Magician had a Card page, a Eratta Page, a Trivia Page, and a A&M Page and the Blue Eyes had a Card Page and a Trivia page, then people would see the Dark Magician pages more often and that card would be more noticed than the others... <Deltaneos> yup, you've talked me into it  <Dantman> Using namespaces you are only counting the Card Pages as part of the randomization... <Deltaneos> yup, you've talked me into it  <Dantman> I know... but I want to go into full detail even if you're the only one here... <Deltaneos> So the process of changing it....   <Dantman> I intend to paste this onto the community portal to show other people the advantages...   <Dantman> ^_^ That's why I went into more detail even though you already may have got something...

Done, the prefixes have been converted to namespaces. There are just a few things we'll half to do later. The monobook tab for the Anime and Manga Appearances namespace is a bit long. So I'll probably fix that up with some JS (Would be nice if I had the Wiki ACG code already here to make the code cleaner). And I'll half to fix up the template being used. Also there is a little bit in the Quartz skin I need to tweak by adding a few MediaWiki namespace messages. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen -local (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Nov 12, 2007 @ 02:33 (UTC)

Adding German Cards?
Hi, I'm not sure if this discussion has come up before, but I just found a site that has good quality German Yu-Gi-Oh! card scans. And I was wondering if you would like me to upload them. Whatever the choice, heres the link. http://karten.gwindi.com/kat/Yu-Gi-Oh-C88.html. Look234 21:34, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
 * That sounds like a good idea to me, though I'm not a member so I can't say for sure if the staff agrees.
 * We've already started. -- Deltaneos 22:05, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

User card lists
Hello all!

I recently registered here and started looking around at user pages, and I noticed: there didn't seem to be any system for users to list what and how many cards they have (although a few users (TwoTailedFox comes to mind) seem to have created their own lists). Considering that one of the reasons I registered here was to make such a list for my own collection, as well as the fact that most people who contribute here would have collections of their own that they'd probably want to brag about, it struck me as quite odd that no system was already in place. So, I started working on a system in my userspace.

So far, I've created/planned around a dozen layout templates, and have a pretty clear idea of just where I want this to go. However, I'm going to need some help making templates for every set (a task that I'm both looking forward to and dreading ^^), and an extra mind or two coming up with ideas wouldn't hurt. I've listed the templates I've made thus far for the system on my main user page, and there's also a sample set (CT04-EN) there for testing. There currently isn't any documentation, but that will follow shortly after I finish work on the templates. I'd appreciate any comments anyone might care to make, or any help anyone is willing to offer! --Dinoguy1000 What?I did it! 18:20, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, there's a format on the character pages that I'm in the process of aping for my own lists. It doesn't have a template, though. Danny Lilithborne 05:51, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Could you give me an example page of what youre talking about? I don't often look at character pages here... --Dinoguy1000 What?I did it! 17:22, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, Jaden Yuki is probably the best place to go; several "decks" there. Danny Lilithborne 06:20, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I have a complete list of all yu-gi-oh cards (Total:2603 cards) including the light and dark structure decks I made it Microsoft Excel I find it very effective I can e-mail you a copy yu-card. my e-mail is brian_zuck@hotmail.com 11\8\07
 * Thanks for the offer, but I've been planning on using the card lists here on the wiki, although you're more than welcome to help. And are you sure you have every Yu-Gi-Oh! card listed (I don't know the actual total in the English TCG, so...)? --Dinoguy1000 What?I did it! 17:22, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Problem Reports
You probably haven't noticed it, but Wikia has a new feature. Problem reports; There's a tab at the top of the page that lets anon people or users who don't know how to edit report an issue so others can fix it. It would be a good idea to get admins to visit Special:ProblemReports every now and then to look over the reported issues. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen -local (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Oct 4, 2007 @ 15:53 (UTC)
 * Also, when reporting a problem, please leave a short description as to where on the page the problem is, etc. Leaving it to the classifications provided by the "Report a problem" feature results in vague descriptions of the problem, and an admin or user responding to the report must read over the entire page (more than likely) to find the problem. --Dinoguy1000 What?I did it! 17:45, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Use of
The use of the title template was debated in IRC, as I remember I believe the general vote was against the use of it. But some community consensus would be good. Just to note something before listing advantages/disadvantages; 90% of active Wikia wiki with users knowledgeable about WikiText, CSS, JS, and other things and also other wiki forbid the use of the title template. In addition the MediaWiki developers dislike the use of it, and also MediaWiki does have a magic word which has the purpose of changing the title, but for technical reasons which are part of the disadvantages of the title template it only works if the title there normalizes back to the normal title. In other words, the only reason that the magic word exists is so that you can see iPod instead of IPod.

There are some very heavily weighted reasons not to use the template. If the community feels the same way I can easily have the use of it from the wiki disappear without any issues through some bot work. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen -local (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Oct 4, 2007 @ 22:22 (UTC)
 * Advantages
 * You can see Dark Magician instead of Dark Magician (Bandai) in a title.
 * Disadvantages
 * When you look at the title you aren't looking at the correct one. This can confuse readers and they may not know what page to return to if they wish to see the page again.
 * People use the title to form links to the page, if you alter the title then when they try to link to the page they only have a broken link. In the case of Dark Magician (Bandai) someone would copy the text Dark Magician and end up linking to Dark Magician which is a completely different page.
 * The CSS is unstable, there is no guarantee that the title replacement will actually show up where the title is; Skin differences could end up making it show up in a different location, a skin being changed could suddenly break all the uses, and having a Sitenotice up top could make the title replacement hover over the sitenotice instead and obscure the viewing of the sitenotice.
 * By the mass majority of wiki which have had experience with this template, it has been considered a bad practice.


 * Well scrap it for pages with (Bandai), (Card), (DDM) etc. at the end of their names. I would like to have kept it for pages with # in their names like Winged Dragon, Guardian of the Fortress #1. But if it's unstable and only displays right in some skins, it may be better we scrap it altogether. I don't think we need the side notice for the ones with words in parenthesis at end. maybe for the ones with the # character (if we decide not to keep it for them). -- <font face="JasmineUPC">Deltaneos  22:41, 4 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Using it on those kind of pages leads to the same issues to. Copying Winged Dragon, Guardian of the Fortress #1 on Winged Dragon, Guardian of the Fortress 1 leads you to Winged Dragon, Guardian of the Fortress because # is for an anchor and not valid in a title.
 * Yup, the whole thing is unstable, skin issues aren't the only ones. Take a look at normal monobook (Which it was designed for use in) if you have not disabled the sitenotice (Do keep in mind that Anons can't disable the sitenotice, and therefore will have this glich all the time if an Anonnotice is set): ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen -local (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Oct 5, 2007 @ 00:59 (UTC)

If no-one opposes it then we'll probably just send a bot to remove all of them and then delete the template. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen -local (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Oct 24, 2007 @ 22:58 (UTC)
 * When I get around to doing bots. It's likely that I'm going to be using them to remove all uses of the Title template from pages unless someone notes not to. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen -local (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Nov 13, 2007 @ 08:12 (UTC)


 * I feel there's no reason to delete it but its not necessary. --Dragon Slayer 17:45, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Card Rarities
can you, in each card page, write the rarity of it for each pack. This would be very convenient. Thank you.
 * Yeah, it would be helpful to make Galleries. --Dragon Slayer 22:03, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

Tip cards?
I've been wondering for some time, why is it that one never sees tip card information on the internet, beyond a simple count of the number of cards in a tip card set? If there's no copyright/other reason for it, why aren't tip cards treated with the same or similar depth here as regular OCG and TCG cards? --Dinoguy1000 What?I did it! 16:53, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I think it's just that no ones ever been too bothered to make any pages about them. Although they do get included in set galleries, for example Set Gallery:Duelist Pack 4: Zane Truesdale (TCG-EN). Aside from that someone made a page Tip Card, where they started listing and retyping the text for some of the Tip Cards. As far as being copyright goes, I'm unsure... -- Deltaneos 18:36, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Shonen Jump Yu-Gi-Oh! card poll
On page 324 of the December 2007 issue (#60) of Shonen Jump, it was revealed that Shonen Jump is holding an online poll until January 15, 2008 to help determine the next five cards to be translated into English and released in the magazine. It is important to note, however, that poll results will NOT guarantee the final selection of cards, as that choice will be up to Shonen Jump staff. Voters can choose between 20 as-yet-untranslated cards on Shonen Jump's website (and as such, the names listed below are Shonen Jump's own translations). The actual poll can be found here. A full list of card choices follows:

Categories for Attributes and Types

 * Has anyone considered trying to do this? It would help for deck building to be able to find attributes and types of cards of all kinds quickly.  Plus with the new card template, filling the categories would be fairly automatic.  Is it a good idea? Danny Lilithborne 08:21, 14 November 2007 (UTC)


 * The current CardTable2 template Delta made is actually just a temporary thing. I'm going to be working on a new CardTable template (Once Wikia ACG Stuff is here, cause the coding won't work right without the Box classes or templates like ). Other than better input (Inputs like: (In no order, or from any specific monster)

| attribute = divine | level    = 3 | type     = Aqua/Spellcaster | sets     = en{Gladiator's Assault(#016), Starter Deck: Syrus Truesdale (YSDS-EN000)}; jp{Gladiator's Assault(-JP016)}; | fusion   = Dark Magician(x2) & ( Time Wizard ^ /Machine Type Monster/ ) | effect   = Flip/Trigger | lore     = FLIP: Equip this card to a monster on your opponent's side of the field and treat it as an Equip Card. Take control of the equipped monster. Your opponent gains 500 Life Points during each of their Standby Phases. ) Which would use special things to take in simple input and output complex information. Automatic categorization will also be added. Though, don't rely on the categories to much. After Wikia installs Semantic MediaWiki I will be removing the automatic categorization code and deleting the categories. Instead the types, effect types, fusion materials, etc... Will all be semantic attributes. You will be able to use the semantic browsing to look for all the cards with certain types and attributes. Even with certain types of effects and such. If you want to get a small idea of how it would look... Take a look at OntoWorld.org (Semantic MediaWiki) and look at the bottom of the page. That's a box with the semantic attributes on the page, something similar would show up here. And you could also use that to browse the info. Also, Semantic MediaWiki is even better at creating the automatic information lists than DPL is. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen -local (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Nov 14, 2007 @ 23:26 (UTC)

HI

 * DEAR CONTRIBUTORS: THE NAVIGATION TEMPLATE EXISTS. USE IT. KTHXBAI. -- Huajun Chen 02:13, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Template:Featured Card
On its Talk I mentioned the idea of changing it monthly, Delt supported it but no one else has said anything about it so I'll put it here. Please give your ideas, if you want it to be changed monthly or if you want to make the new article, and all of that here. Thank you. --Dragon Slayer 04:18, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Tell us your opinion!!!
What is your opinion about the Featured Card Article,that features the "Dark Magician"? User:Tyrant Slayer/Sandbox --Yugi Muto 12:47, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Hmm, not this time. I think we should have a Christmas themed Featured Card. -- Deltaneos 13:24, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Dark Magician as...featured...card? NO. ...I agree with Del. Gift Card? Christmas -> Presents. Not to mention the tiny stars in the background. -- Huajun Chen 16:09, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, I also thought in that, but I can't found any Christmas related card, anyway I'm not going to post the Dark Magician article for now, I want other users to have their chance before, however most of the article was made thanks to User:Yugi Muto so it wasn't made properly by me. --Dragon Slayer 16:36, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Another thing, to you both (Huajun and Delt) and to all users in general, feel free to improve the article in my sandbox, I want it to be a super article. Thanks. --Dragon Slayer 16:38, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

I'd suggest using the Inputbox on Template talk:Featured Card and copying what's there to give you the base. I've recently updated the Featured card page to make it easier to create new cards. There's a template that does 99% of the formatting for you. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen -local (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Dec 2, 2007 @ 22:17 (UTC)
 * New suggestion made by User:Yugi Muto, what do you think of Ice Master? Well, on IRC we mentioned the idea of a Light Dragon, please give your opinion about this. --Dragon Slayer 22:35, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Wikia Spotlight thing
I am sick this ad that drops down under the wikia spotlight window. The ad is so long that cannot read the descriptions of many cards and I cannot remove the ad. The ad either needs to be removed or moved somewhere where it will not interfere with Yu-Gi-Oh Wikia pages.
 * It's kinda annoying, but you can click "dismiss" to hide it. Or are you mentioning something else? -Pizzaman 15:19, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Where do I click "dismiss"?
 * It's only avalible if you're logged in. -- Deltaneos 21:40, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually Pizzaman was talking about something different. You're taking about the adds that appear on the right hand side? -- Deltaneos 21:44, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I guess yes, that thing is so annoying but I think there's no way to hide it. --Dragon Slayer 04:49, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
