Bug update
The archetype navboxes still don't seem to be working right. I thought all of that was fixed. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 23:47, April 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * Guess those Admins are little lazy. -- F  r  e  d  C  a  t  23:49, April 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * I certainly am, but I can't speak for the other admins... ;) Cheesedude, can you provide links to archetype navboxes that are still not displaying correctly, and specify how they should be displaying? Without examples and knowing exactly what's wrong, I may not be able to fix them. 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 05:24, April 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * See Yokai Monster It's displaying members that appears in the TCG and support cards from the manga. Manga-only monsters are not displaying for whatever reason. Also, the navbox at Blackwing is missing massive amounts of cards in all three subsections. I don't know of any others off-hand, but I'm sure there are some. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 05:49, April 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * I've tried applying some fixes to ArchetypeNavbox and assorted concepts, but SMW's behavior seems to have changed in several ways in the most recent update, and I was never really familiar with it in the first place. If my changes don't fix the missing cards, you'll probably have to ask Deltaneos to have a look. 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 06:52, April 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * I hate to say this, but whatever you did appears to have removed the manga support cards from the Yokai Monster navbox. I'll contact Deltaneos, then. Thanks. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 15:12, April 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * Heh, I have to admit, that's awesome. =D Here's hoping Delt can fix/has fixed it. ;) 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 17:14, April 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * Apparently the problem is that redirects are no longer accepted for the navboxes. Since some archetype pages were moved, this mucked it up. I actually sort of forgot about moving the rest of the archetype pages, but now I'm glad I did, since there's cleanup to be done, which would be easier with a bot's help *hinthint* Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 01:46, April 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I'm horribly inconsistent in running my bot. ;) The problem is, I add rules for it to fix issues as I come across them, and I have the problem of trying to add rules that are beyond my capabilities at the time, so I stop with the intention to revisit them later, and it never happens. The most recent thing responsible for this is an attempt to auto-add the animanga appearances templates; I suspect there's a bug in AWB's regex handling but I'm dragging my feet about reporting/asking about it. =D
 * In any case, if you give me a list, I can make a bot run specifically to update archetypes (and the more I can do at once, the better *hinthint* ). 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 02:15, April 6, 2011 (UTC)

Done. All pages that are still at plurals are because their singular forms have actual pages, or because I thought the plural form made more sense in that case (Six Attributes, for example]]). Hopefully I didn't miss any. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 00:57, April 15, 2011 (UTC)

Blank kanji parameter tracking?
Is there a way to create a tracking category for card pages that have a "kanji" parameter that is blank? There are several pages like that I created, and was unable to find the kanji anywhere. I didn't feel like sitting there and finding each individual character from another card page, so I left them blank. I'd like to be able to request that someone add the kanji in, but I'd like to do it all at once. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 01:08, June 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yeah, that's easy enough to do. I've actually been thinking for a while about adding a tracking category for cards that don't have any Japanese name given at all; I think we'd be best with tracking categories for no Japanese name, blank "kanji", "kana", "jpname", and "phon" parameters, and a Japanese name but no romaji name (romaji name without Japanese name should be covered by the first one, I think). 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 06:03, June 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * In addition to the name, can we have a tracking category for "japlore" as well? Blackwings0605 (talk) 06:39, June 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes, definitely; that's one thing I've been intending to do for quite some time. I've never liked the parameter name, and intend to replace all instances of it with "jplore" (if no one beats me to it) and then remove it from CardTable2. 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 07:23, June 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes. "jplore" is definitely make more sense than the "japlore". Blackwings0605 (talk) 07:40, June 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * That, and I've never liked the abbreviation "jap" for "Japan[ese]", considering it was an (albeit mild) derogatory term used during WWII (AFAIK; that's how it's always seemed to me, at least). 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 07:45, June 9, 2011 (UTC)

Another tracking parameter question
Would it be possible to create one that lists pages that use any of the anime/manga appearances templates, but that do not have an associated Card Appearances page? Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 00:37, June 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * Not currently (it is possible, but would first require a modification to Card table anime and manga appearances). On the other hand, it *would* be trivial to do the same check for the anime/manga appearances parameters, though. 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 05:34, June 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * Would changing the template mean having to change it on every page again? As for the parameters themselves, that doesn't particularly help me, to be honest. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 05:57, June 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * No, it would just be adding an invisible bit to the output (some class name or something; I'll have to do a bit of thinking on what the best thing to add would be) that CardTable2 can then check for. I'll probably do this anyways, just so we can track pages with appearances parameters that don't use the templates yet. 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 06:01, June 18, 2011 (UTC)

 * Not really; you were the one who created them both, so I just assumed that you had a good reason for it. ;) As for the merge itself, it could pretty easily be done as you say, but it won't be terribly elegant (unless I'm not seeing just how you're suggesting it be done ;) ); this shouldn't keep us from doing the merge, though, since I can look at doing a more graceful code merge any time. =) 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 04:46, July 8, 2011 (UTC)

Can we put the "Bandai" version of any card in a archetype it belongs to like "B. Skull Dragon (Bandai)" in "Red-Eyes" archetype 23:24, July 20, 2011 (UTC)

 * To be honest, I'm not sure whether we should or not (but if we do, we also need to do the same for Capsule Monsters, DDM, etc. versions of cards where they exist). None of these cards are playable in the current OCG/TCG, though, so I'm thinking probably not.

 * Oh you and your petty sixth sense, Dino... -- F  r  e  d  C  a  t  01:13, July 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * He doesn't have six scene; he's only guessing. How can stalk talk page? Anime-only cards are also listed in any related archetype even they aren't in OCG/TCG like "Masked Knight" series so we could do the same with other "Yu-Gi-Oh!" games like what you mentioned: "DDM" The only side ▼side to this is space like with the "HERO" series.


 * Pretty easily, actually; it's just a matter of watching others' talk pages and occasionally commenting on discussions that you're not otherwise a part of. ;)
 * Anime-only (as well as manga-only and video game-only) cards are listed as parts of archetypes because, other than a far looser ruleset (at least for the anime and manga), there isn't a difference between these media and the actual OCG/TCG anything like the difference between the OCG/TCG and the other card games such as Bandai; most OCG/TCG cards are, in fact, first introduced in the anime, manga, or a video game. 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 18:55, July 21, 2011 (UTC)

 * I saw it. I just didn't have much to add when I first read it. Are there any archetypes within other games? There's "Hecate" in Bandai if that counts. It is possible to filter out other games when making list pages, but ideally if that can be avoided it should, because lighter SMW queries are less of a strain on Wikia's servers. -- Deltaneos (talk) 01:06, July 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * lighter SMW queries?--Wasn&#39;t (talk • contribs) 02:08, July 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * Lighter SMW queries are one which strain servers less. Generally the less filters, the lighter the query. e.g., which gets a list of all monsters with less than 3000 ATK has one item.  , which gets all monsters with less than 3000 and greater than 2000 ATK has two items and is considered to be a  heavier SMW query.
 * To the point, I've just noticed that Template:Archetype navbox has a section for Bandai cards. 'Thought I should mention it. -- Deltaneos (talk) 19:39, August 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * How many archetypes are there in the Bandai game (and are all of them documented here)? Since we've agreed not to add Bandai etc. cards to TCG/OCG archetypes, and since the Bandai game will never get new cards now, I think we might as well just use hardcoded navboxes for any Bandai archetypes, and remove that code from Archetype navbox. 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 04:30, August 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * If you go by a really strict definition, you could say none. Possible archetypes within the Bandai game would be "Exodia", "Gate Guardian", "Harpie Lady", "Hecate" and maybe "Blue-Eyes". Archetypes from other games which have cards in Bandai include "Archfiend", "Dark Magician" and "Red-Eyes". -- Deltaneos (talk) 00:18, August 24, 2011 (UTC)

Chatmod
Thanks for pointing that out, I wasn't aware of the fact that admins got already that parameter and I wanted to test it on the chat. By the way, we definitely need to open a new thread about naming chatmod. We had a few RFA specifically about that already... Wilimut Talk Mail Paris, 14:56, September 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yeah, you can see what user rights any particular user group has from Special:ListGroupRights. ;)
 * We've had some discussion about it already; the main problem, I think, is that none of the really regular contributors are on chat often enough to know which chat regulars are trustworthy with the tool (if a regular contributor who is on chat all the time is reading this, you should totally call me out on this assumption =D ), so any such requests ultimately come down to "whose word do we trust more". (this isn't meant as an argument against a request for chatmod process, of course; just an observation on one of the difficulties we may have with it) At this point, we just need someone to take the initiative and spend the time setting the process up. 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 20:23, September 1, 2011 (UTC)

Moving Questions
I am wondering why two Admins (Deus and Falzar FZ) commented on my talk page about me moving the questions from Discussion Talk page into Forum. They made it sound like it's illegal thing to do, though the Admin Cheesedude permission me to do it alright. I know that's little oddly for me to questioning you here because I am not sure which Forum that this part of discussion was going to be in... -- F  r  e  d  C  a  t  14:32, September 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * Reading Falzar's comment, it sounds like he's primarily concerned with the anon or editor being able to find the question after it's been moved, which is indeed an important consideration.
 * Moving the comment to the editor's talk page pretty much guarantees that they'll see the answer in most cases, but isn't terribly useful for other people who may have the same question and who actually know enough to check the forum.
 * Moving the topic to the forum, on the other hand, does pretty much the opposite, if you don't do much of anything beyond that.
 * Simply replacing the question with a talkheader and a message that the forum should be used for questions doesn't help anybody; certainly not the person who asked the question, and not others with the same question.
 * So, the best method is a combination: if you're not aware of a forum discussion that asks and answers the same question, move the question to the forum (and answer it, if you want to and know the answer), change the new redirect to a "stub" talk page with a talkheader and a note to post questions in the forum, and leave a note on the talk page of the person who posted the question explaining that you moved their question, with a link to its new location, and explain that in the future, they should direct further questions of the same type to the forum, since they're far more likely to be seen by someone who knows the answer there, and can help other users out after the fact (and remember to be friendly! the person just came here with an earnest question; they probably didn't know about our policies, and are far more likely to come back for other questions and whatnot if their first experience is a friendly, positive one). 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 17:13, September 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * I did that last suggest twice, ever informed them that I moved them.

Other than that, though, it comes down to a question of "what flags would be included" - for any given set with a European English release, for instance, can you give a full, correct list of the countries it was officially distributed in?

Interesting question
Category:Cards that need Card Images has a problem. There are some listed cards that don't and NEVER will have card images, unless circumstances change. They have very slim chances of ever being used in the anime/manga again and even slimmer chances of actually being made. Anyway to suppress an auto-added category? The word "need" implies that a a card image exists and that we don't have it. In this case, we don't have it because it's impossible to have one. Maybe a separate category for such cards? Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 03:53, September 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * An override would be pretty easy, I think (and, in a certain sense, one is already possible: simply specify an image); perhaps for such cards, we should be using a particular image other than a card backing (though you've got me on what such image might consist of)? 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 04:13, September 12, 2011 (UTC)

Unofficial names
Do you have a list of languages for which a card name would always be unofficial? Meaning that YGO products have not been released in that language? For that matter, are there any? Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 20:01, September 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * Not really... I should probably make a list of languages with official distribution of one or more YGO media one of these days, though. AFAIK, only those languages with official media licenses are actually shown in CardTable2, though I don't know if it displays all such languages; anything that only gets stuffed in an SMW property *should* be unofficial no matter what.
 * When tagging a name as unofficial, if it's something like Turkish, I'll usually tag whatever I come across. For stuff like Greek and Thai, I'll tag it if I notice the given name getting changed, though this isn't perfect since card names are sometimes changed even within licensed media (several examples of this can be found on the various pages in User:Montechristo95's userspace). If a given media has not yet had an official English release, I'll usually tag everything but Japanese as unofficial, since it is (should be) incredibly rare for e.g. an episode/chapter to be released in French or German or something before its English release.

 * That's not what that forum discussion is about; rather, it's asking if there's support amongst editors here to request for the creation of new user groups from Wikia staff. One of these groups (the one with the most support, and the best chance of being added) is a "mover" group, which would be able to move pages without a move throttle, move files, and suppress the creation of redirects when moving stuff. However, we haven't actually gotten around to requesting the group, so we're not yet able to grant it to anyone. You're more than welcome to request adminship anyways, but I don't think you're very likely to get it just to be able to move files and not have a move throttle, unless our request (when it's made) is explicitly turned down by Wikia staff. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 06:54, September 24, 2011 (UTC)

another thing, can you make a 2nd template, labelling "archetype card list2", if there are other cards that are only in Anime and/or Manga? in that template, there can be two card lists: one for OCG/TCG; another one for AniManEx (Anime/Manga). then, you can change the codes of the first template to have only a single list of cards for those that are only in OCG/TCG. 70.79.73.202 (talk) 05:37, October 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks, I've been planning something like it for a while, and intend to create similar templates for some of the other groups of card lists (primarily Attributes and Types, but also at least some of the various card/effect property lists). =)
 * I've linked Support card and Anti-support card in the template because I feel that they should have their own articles, briefly describing what each term means and (especially in the case of support cards, which we use to decide whether a given thematic group of cards is an archetype or just a series) its significance. Thinking about it a bit more, though, we may prefer to have slightly more generic support and anti-support articles... Hmm...
 * Anti-support cards for archetypes are pretty rare, but they are out there. Both the suppor and anti-support list links are hidden behind #ifexist switches in the template, though, which means they shouldn't be added unless the lists themselves exist (under very specific titles, but that's really rather beside the point).
 * Unfortunately, because of how various properites are currently assigned in CardTable2, trying to filter lists into sublists of official-only and animanga-only cards means we end up missing other cards (for instance, neither of these will catch various tokens or video game-exclusive cards). In addition, the construct you've been using,, won't work as desired because of limitations inherent to SMW - while this does indeed prevent any cards with the value "Official" in Property:Class 1 from being listed, it also only lists cards that have "Class 1" set to something - and since, as I said before, property value assignment in CardTable2 is messy at best, it means there are plenty of cards with no value at all in "Class 1", and these aren't listed if the query uses.
 * Sorry for the length and technicality of this reply; if you need me to go back and explain anything more simply, please just ask. =) 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 05:48, October 3, 2011 (UTC)

Cards in other Languages
Since you seem to be checking if names are official in other languages, this might be useful for you. Click. It's a file I extracted from WC11 that contains the names and lores (and a bunch of other stuff that I haven't figured out yet) of JP, EN, DE, FR, IT, SP and KR cards that are in that game (languages listed are in order of ID when using AR codes to change the language, 22126491 000000xx, where JP = 00, EN = 01, etc; though I haven't checked if the order is the same as that text file). You may need to change your text editors encoding if you are interested in trying to extract the data (I for one, can't get KR out of it). -Falzar FZ- (talk page|useful stuff) 11:31, October 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * Did you just try to open the whole file in a text editor? Looking at it in a hex editor, it's quite obviously an archive file, but I'm not sure where the file sizes/offsets are stored, so I can't write an extraction script for it yet. Other than that, thanks for the file; once we can get everything extracted, it should allow us to fill in a lot of gaps, really really quickly. =D 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 16:14, October 11, 2011 (UTC)

 * Hex Workshop and Notepad++ both gave me the same overall content, ++ just didn't include the raw Hexadecimal next to it.
 * Also ++ could read JP whereas Hex Workshop did not.
 * At best, I can get squares to appear in place of Korean characters in ++.
 * -Falzar FZ- (talk page|useful stuff) 02:43, October 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * I've used Hex Workshop in the past, years ago, but last I knew it was shareware, and I don't have the money to pay for a license. Personally, I use XVI32, which is free and pretty good in its own right, but it's also got more than its fair share of shortcomings and, despite being freeware, is closed-source. I'm actually rather surprised no one yet seems to have had any interest in making an open-source hex editor of the same relative quality as Notepad++ (which I use as well ;) ) is for text editors...
 * While we've got the comparison going, you pointed out that Hex Workshop didn't display the kanji/kana; this is expected, since hex editors display files byte-by-byte - they make no effort whatsoever to worry about whether a given file is (likely to be) a text file, or what encoding it's probably using.
 * I didn't try opening the archive in Notepad++ until just now. Experimenting a bit and searching on Google shows most of the text files to be encoded using various ANSI/Windows code pages; the Hangul displays just fine if you set the encoding to Windows 949 (Encoding --> Character sets --> Korean --> Windows 949); Korean card effects can be found around line 6431. The oddball is the Japanese text, which is encoded in Shift-JIS, though you probably already knew as much. ;) 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 06:30, October 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * Arial Unicode MS (and a few other) fonts on Korean --> Windows 949 is what gives me the squares I mentioned.
 * It's the only language I can't actually see characters of on editors. Copying Korean names from here, and pasting it in Notepad++ Find, brings me to lines ~64xx+, while highlighting a bunch of squares, so I know they're there and can check if that particular name is correct. Else, I could just use a code to change the in-game language and read it off there. -Falzar FZ- (talk page|useful stuff) 12:43, October 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * Got it, it was because I didn't tick Enable Global Font, apparently the last font I was using supported each of those including JP, but not including KR, which made me forget about the extra setting. -Falzar FZ- (talk page|useful stuff) 13:03, October 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * Okay, that's cool to hear (that sounds like a setting that shouldn't really be a setting, but whatever). I may request having someone look at the archive, to see if anyone wants to write an extraction script for it, so we can work with the much-more-manageable individual files rather than having to fight the whole archive. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 16:09, October 12, 2011 (UTC)

Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's - Episode 046 is using slanted quotations. I've tried copying the text and using find and replace in Word, Wordpad and Notepad. None of them work.

 * Notepad's Find-and-Replace function works fine for me on Windows 7... Maybe it has issues with extended Unicode on earlier MS systems?
 * You should be able to use Notepad++ to do the replaces if nothing else works for you. If you know how to use regexes and are willing to try that route, the opening curly double-quote can be matched via, and the closing one via   (you can match the curly single quotes via   and  ).

Card Trivia:The Lady in Wight - "Lady-in-Waiting"?
Hello, I saw that you changed "Lady-in-Waiting" into "Ladies-in-Waiting" on the following page: Card Trivia:The Lady in Wight. Why exactly do you feel that this is not the correct spelling?

Please do not be offended by this, I am just trying to understand. -- LordGeovanni - ( Talk To Me ) *Kupo* 02:52, November 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * "Lady-in-waiting" is a noun, which means that it needs to be pluralized when used in the specific manner it's used on the trivia page.

 * Because the card is being compared to the general concept of ladies-in-waiting, not to any one particular lady-in-waiting. "Lady-in-waiting" refers to an entire group of women (it was an informal title), most of whom have little else in common, as opposed to any particular person.

 * It's caused by SMW unintelligently "cutting" Ruby markup at very stupid places when it displays in the factbox - the invalid markup breaks the factbox table, and this breaks the whole page. The only way to fix it other than hiding the factbox is changing how SMW handles such long values (only two realistic choices: don't try cutting values that appear to contain HTML or wikimarkup, or simply don't output such values). 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 04:51, November 7, 2011 (UTC)

5D's manga archetypes
Take a look at the lores for "Great Gallant Demonic Angel, Rosalian" and "Prayer to the Evil Spirits". It seems we have some undocumented archetypes here. I'm going to see if I can locate some cards images for them tomorrow to help clarify. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 05:31, December 5, 2011 (UTC)

 * Looking through "Rosalien"'s history, I came across "The Rose Bell of Revelation", with a nice, crisp(ish) Japanese card image complete with lore; this should cover our needs for "Queen Angel" and "Fallen Angel", but we still need an image of "Prayer" for the "Angel" parent group. We've also got to worry about how to disambiguate "Fallen Angel" from "Darklord", since apparently "Darklord"'s Japanese name translates to "Fallen Angel" as well (and Fallen Angel currently redirects to it). 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 17:08, December 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * Nice. We should just be able to use "Fallen Angel" as a page name and add disambiguation text for "Darklord" at the top. It's also highly likely that the English manga will change the name altogether, in which case, we can make "Fallen Angel" a disambiguation page for both archetypes. Just to be sure, the "Rose Bell" card doesn't have the text that means "Darklord" on it, right? They are separate archetypes? Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 17:12, December 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * That's what I was thinking; I just like making stuff complicated. =D
 * Right, "Rose Bell" has "魔天使" (plus some furigana I can't read reliably enough to transcribe), and "Darklord" is "", though the last two kanji are identical (they're also the same for "Queen Angel", interestingly enough, leading me to believe that's what "Angel" will turn out to use on "Prayer"). 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 17:18, December 5, 2011 (UTC)

So, Shonen Jump just got here (...yesterday; I've been reading Inheritance), and it seems the translators went with a cop-out: "Rose Bell"'s English lore reads "From your Deck, add either Queen Angel of Roses or Fallen Angel of Roses to your hand." Still, at least this confirms the English archetype names.

I don't really have the time to update the other cards from chapter 12; all of them look to be named correctly except for "Blessed Cards of Grass", which should be "Cards from the Blessed Grass", and "Magic Elf Burgundy", which should be "Burgundy the Magic Elf". 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 19:03, December 30, 2011 (UTC)

Infobox issue
Is there any way to get the "manga debut" parameter in Infobox/Yu-Gi-Oh!/Character to work with non-numerical chapter names? Masumi Momono debuts in Yu-Gi-Oh! R - Duel Round SP1 and Dr. Faker debuts in Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL - Rank SP1. Using the template like I would for any other chapter borks the page, so I ended up hardcoding the text instead. I created both of those chapter pages with those names based on the fact that we have an episode article similiary named. No characters debuted there though.

 * How long ago was it that you tried it?

 * Well, fsck. That would be because Yu-Gi-Oh! R - Duel Round SP1 doesn't have anything in the "chapter number" parameter in the infobox - but putting the value "SP1" there just breaks everything horribly (and stuffs the value "1" in the relevant properties, meaning even if it didn't break everything horribly, it'd have the same exact result - to make matters worse yet, both those properties have a type of Number, meaning they won't accept the value "SP1" anyways). This is something that cannot be fixed without a significant overhaul of the system as it now stands, I think, and one more piece of evidence in the "I hate SMW more and more" case (maybe I should write a rant about that... >_> ). Given all this, it's also something I won't be looking at actually fixing until I write a new version of the infobox (Infobox archetype was only a beginning, to help me figure stuff out ;) ), if even then. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 07:00, December 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * Damn. I'm not sure why we chose "SP1" to denote these articles in the first place. As I said, I did the two manga articles that way for consistency with Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's - Episode SP1 (which I assume stands for "special episode 1"). You're saying that we must use a numerical value for now, yes? What if we moved to "000" (each of these is "special" because it's not part of the main continuity of that series. Both were used for advertising purposes. They threw a special chapter into a different magazine in the hopes of getting people to read the other chapters in the other magazine). Let me go ask Delt, too. Fairly sure he created the 5D's article. If all else fails, we'll just hardcode the links and be done with it for now. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 15:48, December 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes, it has to be a number, no two ways around it (this is also why we need two properties for ATK, DEF, Level, and Rank).
 * I'd be fine with "000"; it's every bit as arbitrary as "SP1", but does make some limited amount of sense on its own. At any rate, though, let's see if Delt has anything to say. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 16:04, December 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * I don't see why we need to number special episodes and chapters when they're not ordinal. I moved the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's special episode some time ago for that reason. Why not just manually create the link to the special episodes and chapters, like we would for a film or video game? -- Deltaneos (talk) 18:12, December 13, 2011 (UTC)

(outdent)Went ahead and moved the R article. Simply having no chapter number in the "chapter number" causes it to display the "next chapter" link as being Yu-Gi-Oh! R - Duel Round 001. Removing the "chapter number" parameter from the infobox altogether terribly borks the page and causes it to spit out an unlinked list of cards in alphabetical order. On a related note, what's going on at Yu-Gi-Oh! R chapter listing? Duel Rounds 7 and 15 show up twice, with the first time being at the top of the list with no image and still linking to "chapter" instead of "Duel Round". Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 19:55, December 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * The infobox now leaves out the previous and next sections if there is no chapter number specified.
 * It was a messy cache problem. After the pages got renamed, the old titles, which are now redirects, retained the SMW properties they had before the page got moved. Null editing the redirects fixed this. -- Deltaneos (talk) 21:45, December 21, 2011 (UTC)

 * Well, that would require parsing card effects, which would entail largely solving the problem of natural language parsing. We do have a system in place already that allows the lists to be made automatic (SMW), but the tags have to be added to card pages manually and currently the whole thing is just too scattershot to be really useful for this (not least of all because a query that lists all cards that can interact with the Graveyard in any way is too large for SMW's query limits).

 * There isn't any way just by looking at the cards themselves - if you put a Common card and a Short Print card side-by-side (and ignore the differences arising from the fact that they're two different cards), you won't be able to tell which is which with a visual comparison.

 * A lot of people have been removing those sentences. Shardsilver and his "cousin" were the main advocates for them to be added at all. Someone needs to integrate those last lines into the sections with better wording. It's supposed to read like a biography, not be a list of episode numbers. --Golden Key (talk • contribs) 23:49, December 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * Actually, the only ones that have done anything, are usually one-time Ip users who's sole edit is simply removing that (also, from what I can see, no registered users have tried to remove it). If you look at Yusei and Aki's articles, they have episode Numbers to (I'm just saying). Shardsilver (talk • contribs) 23:53, December 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * I've never removed it, but have disagreed on the talk pages. So has Golden Key. I'm not entirely sure what Cheesedude's stance was. The only ones I've seen in totally in favour have been Shardsilver, Shardsilver's IP, an account that was used by the same IP and another IP with two edits. If you're disregarding short time users/IPs, that leaves just yourself in favour. Every time you revert someone removing the line, you tell them to see the talk page, but I don't see any agreement on the talk page to include it. -- Deltaneos (talk) 18:59, December 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * Well, I did try to reason, by bringing up an agreement on Leo's talk page (which an IP user agreed to), and so far, nobody seemed to have any problems with what I suggested. However, I also agree with "Goldenkey", that if need be, I can re-word those sentences (give me a few days, and I'll try to word it like whats in Yusei and Aki's biograghys. And if you guys feel they still need re-wording, I'll do just that)). Does that sound reasonable? Shardsilver (talk • contribs) 19:18, December 28, 2011 (UTC)

Wikiamobile skin

 * I'm not familiar enough with the Gardna series to be able to say whether "Desert Protector" fits its theme... Cheesedude mentions on the talk page there that DP's effect does fit, since it's a defensive effect, but there may be more to the Gardna theme then just that. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 18:42, December 30, 2011 (UTC)

Two questions/suggestions
First, what do you think about a template for "conjectural name"? There are things we document on this wiki that don't have canonical names, so we need to make up our own. The example the sticks out the most would be The Door. Wookieepedia has a template for that, so that's where I got the idea.

Secondly, would it be helpful at all to have a list of card images that are impossible to get? I don't mean we can't find them. I mean they don't exist. For example, I believe we now have card images of every card that appears in the GX manga - except those that don't appear in card form. "Winged Kuriboh LV10" was used several times, but it was never once shown in card form. There are a number of other examples from that manga, and a few from the various animes too. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 18:31, December 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * That would probably be a good idea... it could be accompanied by a generalization to Unofficial name allowing it to be used on articles beyond just card articles. "Template:Conjectural name" is a very clear and concise description of what the proposed template would do, but I'm a bit worried that it's too technical to be easily remembered, and I don't think the template would be used widely enough to justify including it amongst the edittools interface... That being said, I can't really suggest any other names, and Hide Factbox (which, IIRC, I named myself) certainly argues against me. ;P
 * Isn't that what List of unseen cards is? Currently, I think the list just covers those cards that are not seen in any fashion - neither card nor monster - but it would be reasonable to expand to include those cards whose monster form is the only one shown, I think. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 18:47, December 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * We could just continue using "unofficial" and leave conjectural out if that word may cause too much confusion. Unofficial means much the same thing anyway.
 * That might work. Though for the example, I gave, it wouldn't - since "Winged Kuriboh LV10" is a real card and appears in card form in the anime. It's only specifically in the manga the card isn't shown. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 18:53, December 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * Works for me.
 * I don't see any reason the list has to be restricted just to cards that did not appear in any media; it seems perfectly reasonable that we could have different sections for different levels of "unseen-ness": the first could be for cards that are only mentioned, and never shown in any way, with per-medium subsections as necessary, followed by cards that are only shown in monster or effect form (again, with per-medium subsections as necessary). Thoughts? 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 19:09, December 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * Ok, cool.

 * The name "The Door" comes from the cast list of the first episode of ZEXAL. Kazuhiko Inoue is credited as "voice of the door" (扉の声, tobira no koe). Although "the" is something that gets added in translation, since Japanese grammar doesn't require as many pronouns as English grammar. -- Deltaneos (talk) 20:06, December 30, 2011 (UTC)

 * Despite my claim to try to spend more time in chat, I haven't. I really consider the chat's presence to be nothing but a nuisance at this point. No one that edits really uses it and no one that uses it bothers to contribute. It really has nothing to do with this wiki. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 03:08, January 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * Well, it really doesn't help any that most of us that know how to do so make it a point to avoid using the Wikia skin.

 * I agree chat has very little to do with the wiki anymore. It's nothing like I expected it to be when the idea to enable it was suggested.
 * From what I have seen, there tends to be a lot of unnecessary arguments and flame wars among users on chat. Often with each side thinking the other is behaving inappropriately. My main concern with giving someone chatmod rights, is that they'll end up taking sides in one of these arguments and banning the users they disagree with. Bans like these can cause people to resort to trolling. -- Deltaneos (talk) 01:31, January 2, 2012 (UTC)

RE:Renaming Type lists
After I saw Deltaneos's counterargument, I figured my changes to the Aqua pages would get reverted (hence why I didn't do any other Types).

I agree
I agree with Deltaneos. Ever since, the chat has been turning into a housing unit for trolls. People who contribute don't go on the chat. And People who hardly contribute spend every day on it. I have an idea: Everyone should make at least 1 mainspace edit before they go to the chat. Tell me what you think. --I&#39;m the Haitian Seto Kaiba. Deal with it.

 * Oh, and here's a chop of pig's butts, Dino. -- F  r  e  d  C  a  t  03:01, January 2, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks for trying to find a solution. Although I'm not sure a low editcount restriction would solve any of the main problems in chat. As Dinoguy said above, it's not technically feasible. The only way of implementing it would be to kickban anyone with 0 edits who joins. That would create more problems than it solves. If it was possible, I'm not sure I'd be too keen on the idea.
 * To clarify, I never said anyone who uses chat is a troll. I said, if worst comes to the worst and someone is unnecessarily banned over some argument, they may resort to trolling or causing some sort of disruption. And that's not because they are contemptible in nature, but because they'd be resentful over being punished for something they don't think was their fault. This isn't a position we should put anyone in. Most users don't use chat specifically to cause trouble. I think it should be possible to help such users in overcome their conflicts, without resorting to bans. -- Deltaneos (talk) 00:50, January 3, 2012 (UTC)

Merges
I have some things that I think need history merging. The Yu-Gi-Oh! 10th Anniversary Animation Book gives the proper arc names for GX. We currently have them at their dub names, and the dub splits it up more. We need to merge Freshman Year and Rise of the Sacred Beasts into a new article called Seven Stars (arc). Society of Light and Genex Tournament need to merged into Society of Light (arc). (I'm going to move The Society of Light to Society of Light afterwards. Finally, Survival Duels, Quest for the Rainbow Dragon and Into the Shadows need to be merged into a new article called Dimension World. I'll create an article for the actual type of Duel called "Survival Duel" afterwards. Thanks, Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 18:38, January 4, 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm very leery of performing history merges in cases like this; it would be better to pick one of the original articles to move to the new title, merge content from the other articles in by hand, redirect the other article(s) to the first, and note on the talk page of the first that it contains content merged from the other articles, with links back to them (they should also be linked in the edit summary of the edit you merge stuff in). 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 18:49, January 4, 2012 (UTC)

 * That's because there is no "name" parameter in Infobox/Yu-Gi-Oh!/Storyline/Start, though there is a "title" parameter that does what you're expecting (though, really, we have StringFunctions; there's absolutely no excuse for the infobox not to automatically do something as simple as stripping parenthesized terms from the title displayed... =P ). As for the linking, I just changed the template to link (and italicize) the parameter input automatically. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 20:25, January 4, 2012 (UTC)

 * That's because, originally, we only had about two banlist articles for each year on here. However, in the first few years after YGO was licensed and released here (for much of the time Upper Deck Entertainment held the license for the TCG), banlists actually seemed to have been updated roughly coinciding with the release of each new Booster Pack. This meant that we were missing quite a few banlists, and the early ones that we did have were misleading, if not outright wrong.
