Several stuff

Hey Deltaneos. I have several matters I'd like to discuss/ask for opinion:

1. May I bump (or create a new one) this? I'd like to have access to it, given I usually clean the instances of old names after page moves. This would facilitate my work and spare me some time. I also want to relight the discussion about the renames for Beginner's Edition.1 and Beginner's Edition.2, and if those go through, lots and lots of instances need to get changed. I also want to rename the manga pages to sentence case and take care of other stuff like that. I also want to rename some catgories (to proper casing), but this is something I have yet to think more carefully. Having access to a bot would facilitate these tasks.
2. I'd like to copy, from User:Deltaneos/common.css, the code that unhides the summary box from the RFPs. Do you mind? There's currently a request for mover that has been there for a while and I want to leave a comment there and I like to use the edit summary.
3. Parts of MediaWiki:Common.js are not working; the imported scripts are not working (no queue, no ajax, etc.). It has happened once (I left a message at the talk page), but after a time, everything got back, so I hope this time the same will happen. Do you happen to know what happens for it to stop working properly?
4. Last but not least, I'll take this opportunity to thank you (and everyone) for your support at the RFA; it's great to have access to these tools, I can do so much more! Regarding your comment, I hope I won't mess things up and I hope I'll deal well with other users. If I ever act in an incorrect way or if I ever misuse any of the tools, please, please, please, alert me immediately; I don't like to make mistakes.

Thanks for your attention! Becasita ^Pendulum (talk • contribs) 15:56, July 22, 2016 (UTC)

1. Commented.
2. Sure. It's only a very simple CSS rule. I can't make any sort of ownership claim on it. I don't mind you having access to the edit summary box either, if that was your concern.
3. Commented.

RE: DBT text dump

Yes, I am. Long story short: I started playing DBT some time ago because I wanted to get as much information of previously anime-only cards as possible. But after noticing that the methods I was using for that were too slow (and the game wasn't all that engaging for me), I asked for some help on how to get text dumps off GBA games on a forum I'm on. A kindly soul just did it for me. Apparently, grabbing it was an "extremely easy" thing to do because the text used a standard encryptation system. Extracting it was a different story altogether, though.

My language knowledge request had to do with a simple issue: whilst I can easily find names and lores in English, Spanish, French and Italian on that dump, I have zero idea about German, which makes finding the relevant bits and pieces a tad difficult for me.

Answering your question, I don't know the exact amount of cards in the game. Sorry! --AzureKesil (talk • contribs) 14:46, July 31, 2016 (UTC)

I know of that order because I've played old YGO! games for years and some card sequences stuck in my mind (I swear the BEWD-Mystical Elf-Hitotsu-Me Giant-etc. one is almost as familiar to me as the Kanto Pokédex one up to Raichu or so is!). What genuinely baffles me is the seemingly random absence of lores and cards and how the numbers wildly vary between languages. Knowing which cards have no associated lore (or the other way round) and then performing a cross-comparison with the English list would be handy to determine which lores belonging to which cards need to get extracted by "playing hard" (if we know that x character uses y missing card, it'd be a matter of time to draw y by playing with x over and over) or, well, using Gameshark and the like in order to draw the cards. I know it can be done of sorts, at least after having seen the screenshorts on this wiki which show a character hand with Armor Monster Cards on it-to my knowlege, those cards are only played by the CPU (the "Creep", not the NPCs). I know, editing 800 card articles is one heck of a titanic feat, but one could always work on it little by little and write down what's missing after finishing each article, right?--AzureKesil (talk • contribs) 20:10, July 31, 2016 (UTC)

My lack of this branch of knowledge shows again, heh. I guess there must also be an answer as to why The Winged Dragon of Ra (Phoenix Mode) shares a list number with Kamakiriman's lore in the English dump, for example.

I seriously hope I can learn of ways to hack the game. Playing with Mai Valentine selecting as many stages as possible or staying around the "Above Tibet" stage to keep on discarding and drawing cards can only get so annoying! And don't get me started on how Rebecca had one of the most annoying powers and lots of anime-only cards, including the by then unreleased Guardian Eatos Monster Card, anime artwork and all.

I hadn't thought of the wonders of copypasting to be honest. I reckon my brain is under conditioning due to my edits on wikis which get completely overloaded when new info's around, there are three users to deal with said information at best AND you're one of them AND the only admin around. By the way, may I ask how did people on this wiki manage to create articles of every custom Dark Duel Stories card (such as "Two-tone Slither")?

P.S. I am glad to see you found a way to include foreign card lores and names on video game articles, even if it's outside of the template :P --AzureKesil (talk • contribs) 21:35, July 31, 2016 (UTC)

It seems I missed the word "matching" there. I guess I simply took it for granted. My bad. I meant it as in how one can quickly deal with those huge numbers, even if not having to write down a lore greatly helps to keep a steady pace. Or else. I guess I just want to find a way to keep card article creation fast in times of need. I guess I should remember that multiple file upload is also a thing.--AzureKesil (talk • contribs) 22:07, July 31, 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up. More often than not, it's more a case of "if you can" rather than "if you want"! I took some card screenshots back when I played the game, so I could contribute with that if/when the respective articles are ready. --AzureKesil (talk • contribs) 10:11, August 1, 2016 (UTC)

Now that's something remarkable. Yet it doesn't surprise me due to certain things I noticed after working with the Spanish translation. As for your request, I could try to look for the respective ROMs and hope that person is still around, but I'm not sure if it'd happen, given how said person hasn't been on those forums since 2015.

P.S. "Nightmare Penguin" is used by Grandpa and "Brigadier of Landstar" is a Creep monster. Indeed, I decided to get a text dump when I eventually got tired of playing trial and error so as to check who used which Monster Card. --AzureKesil (talk • contribs) 00:23, August 7, 2016 (UTC)

RE:DBT names and lores

To be honest, ever since I saw your messages, I been playing the game for awhile and still can't found "Brigadier of Landstar" nor "Nightmare Penguin". You might have to wait for awhile since I can't recall which Duelist uses "Landstar" or "Nightmare Penguin". But with the lore it should be this:

When this penguin is on your side, your Aqua, Fish, Sea Serpent, and Reptile monsters receive a power up.

It based on the lore from Yu-Gi-Oh! Reshef of Destruction, a game that was released one year earlier than Yu-Gi-Oh! Destiny Board Traveler. The lore that you suggest:

When this card is flipped face-up, return 1 card on your opponent's side of the field to the owner's hand. As long as this card remains face-up on the field, increase the ATK of all WATER monsters on your side of the field by 200 points.

Shouldn't be possible as this game was released before the actual card. I do believe that the stat came from Reshef of Destruction, than the actual card. For "Water Element", check the card gallery. WinterNightmare (talk • contribs) 04:29, August 6, 2016 (UTC)

Yes, its North America version, there is no option to change the current languages, just the credit and erased saved data. WinterNightmare (talk • contribs) 19:35, August 6, 2016 (UTC)

Tristan in GX

So, I'm not sure if I'm doing this right, sorry if I'm not. But about the Tristan page. I must have watched that scene about a dozen times to be sure and compared the silhouette to several references. Everything seems to fit, from the hairstyle to that jacket/coat he tends to wear. Is the community 'that' sure it isn't him? JaronKitsune (talk • contribs) 02:52, August 8, 2016 (UTC)

I can't speak for the community as a whole on this one. I've started a topic at Talk:Tristan Taylor#Yu-Gi-Oh! GX silhouette to see if anyone else interested has an opinion and gave more details on why I don't think it's him. Could you reply there if you still disagree? Thanks. -- Deltaneos (talk) 20:59, August 9, 2016 (UTC)

Color scans

Hey man im just wonderin were do u get the digital color scans? (d woods (talk • contribs) 02:32, October 1, 2016 (UTC))

The e-book versions of the bunkoban. They can be previewed/purchased at Jump+, Amazon and Rakutan. -- Deltaneos (talk) 13:30, October 1, 2016

how do u rip the scans thou is wht i am really wonderin? i usually buy my ebooks from ebookjapan but i can't rip from there anymore. (d woods (talk • contribs) 12:53, October 2, 2016 (UTC))

The images are scrambled, like this but worse, and get rearranged before being served to you. If you rip the images, you get the scrambled version. Without the decipher, they're difficult to unscramble. I just get the scenes that I need screencapped and cropped. -- Deltaneos (talk) 15:18, October 2, 2016 (UTC)

The talk header JS code

Is it possible to use the codes to make the talk header work on every talk page (except user talk pages of course), work for other templates? I mean, how is it to change the name of the template in the code, but still retain its behavior? And will it duplicate if the template is already used on a talkpage?--Luma.dash (talk • contribs) 18:37, October 11, 2016 (UTC)

This is for another wiki, I take it.

If you've copied the block of code at MediaWiki:Common.js, underneath the heading "Add Template:Talkheader if it's not there.", there's a few lines from earlier, declaring some variables, that you also need to copy and put before it:

var mNamespaceNumber = mw.config.get('wgNamespaceNumber'),
    mAction          = mw.util.getParamValue('action'),
    mSection         = mw.util.getParamValue('section');

You can also replace, this:

var vText = $('#wpTextbox1').val().replace(/{\{[Tt]alkheader/, '{\{Talk header');

with this:

var vText = $('#wpTextbox1').val();

The first one is just to prevent confusion with an older name that the template used.

To change the template, just replace where it says "Talk header" in the remaining code, with the name of your template.

-- Deltaneos (talk) 20:02, October 11, 2016 (UTC)

Well, thanks, It worked! However, from what I see, this code only place the template automatically should someone edits a talk page that do not have one, and it does not automatically fill all the talk pages with the template, right?--Luma.dash (talk • contribs) 20:24, October 11, 2016 (UTC)

Yes. Adding it to all talk pages, without someone editing the page is a different beast. -- Deltaneos (talk) 20:29, October 11, 2016 (UTC)

For me now, that's all what I needed, adding it to the remaining talk pages should not be a problem for a bot, I guess. But this code brings a large help to my community. Thanks for the help! Luma.dash (talk • contribs) 20:33, October 11, 2016 (UTC)

Hi. I noticed that the code does not work perfectly as in your wiki. As the code sometimes work and place {{Talk}} on the top of the page, and on other times it will not be placed at all (unlike in your wiki where it always gets placed). Is there any thing we've missed, or is slowing down the process? The JS page where the code is, is here. Luma.dash (talk • contribs) 11:07, October 20, 2016 (UTC)

Can you show me an example of a page where it's not working? -- Deltaneos (talk) 21:19, October 21, 2016 (UTC)

Sorry for the late reply, as the system didn't notify me that you replied. Anyway, the problem of it not being working constantly has been solved mystically (I don't know how, but probably a universal problem in total JS that was fixed by the Fandom Staff later). However, the script you gave to me turned out to not recognize the Rich-text editor, so it keeps adding the template for every time you edit the talk page. So, do you know how to make it work on both sides? As it keeps repeating itself. Luma.dash (talk • contribs) 16:38, November 25, 2016 (UTC)

University Research

Hello!

I am doing a project for university on User Experience and I’m having a look at the yu-gi-oh websites and mobile appearance in particular.

Is it possible at all to get a screenshot of the analytics of the website visitors for the past few months or an Excel spreadsheet? It’d be great to know which pages are most popular over the last year as well as where the majority of your visitors are coming from if that’s possible?

No worries if you don’t have this information. I just thought I’d ask in case you do have it.

I have posted this to both Becasita and Deltaneos as I was not sure who to really post it too as I couldn't find an admin list.

Thank you,

Scorchgid (talk • contribs) 21:29, October 23, 2016 (UTC)

I think Wikia staff use Google Analytics to track such data. I don't know how much they'd be willing to share, but you can try asking at Special:Contact/general.

There is a limited amount of data, which is public. Special:Insights/popularpages gives the number of views on the thousand most popular content pages in the past four weeks. -- Deltaneos (talk) 13:03, October 29, 2016 (UTC)

About Card Art Source

Hello Deltaneos. I saw that you upload this card art, and I was amazed by the clear quality of it. I've been scouring manga scans, and any sort of card art I crop from them are grainy and too small, mostly due to the diminutive size of the drawn cards on the manga pages. May I know where you got that scan from? Thank you. Ur-Procyon (talk • contribs) 05:22, October 25, 2016 (UTC)

Great White Terror

"Great White Terror" has 1500 ATK in the original Japanese version, but has 1600 ATK in the dub. Now this isn't like the "Aesirs" where the dub showed different Attributes from the original but yugioh.com corrected it to DIVINE: Great White Terror legitimately has 1600 ATK, even stating in on the website.

So do we use the dub ATK and put a note that it is 1500 in the Japanese version, or vice versa? Lightning Laxus (talk • contribs) 01:07, November 3, 2016 (UTC)

I believe the Japanese version is considered a higher source of canon for such mechanics. So, we'd use the Japanese ATK as the main one and put the dub value in a note. A similar card is "Seven-Armed Fiend", with 666 ATK and DEF in the Japanese, but 1000 in the dub and yugioh.com. -- Deltaneos (talk) 21:15, November 4, 2016 (UTC)

Game Guides

Oh hi Del, it's me! Certainly been a while hasn't it? Could I ask you a favor, for old time's sake? I added the game guide promos to the OCG Promos gallery index page (they've been waiting on that far too long) but I've found some guides simply don't have pictures on the Wiki. If you could, since you're good at this sort of thing, would you mind tracking down pictures of the Japanese guides for Duel Academy, Spirit Caller, and World Championship 2006 if at all possible? Thank so much! I'll handle everything else. We should talk more often. By the way, did you know this is my tenth year editing the Wiki? I was a high school freshman when I started! Rod (talk • contribs) 02:19, December 18, 2016 (UTC)

I think I've found the Duel Academy and Spirit Caller ones.

Almost. Aside from two odd earlier edits, I didn't really start until summer 2007 and you were not too long after me, which I hate to admit was nearly ten years ago.

I'd be up for talking more often. Do you use Discord? There's a server for the Yu-Gi-Oh! wiki there. A number of other editors are on it. -- Deltaneos (talk) 23:27, December 25, 2016 (UTC)

By the way, remember that "Summer of '69" AMV you had on your page once upon a time? That introduced me to that song, and it's still one of my favorites! Rod (talk • contribs) 01:44, February 11, 2017 (UTC)

Set list template

Hey Delta. Do you have any plans for the current {{Set list}}? I made {{Set list/sandbox}}, which I'd like to try. Becasita ^Pendulum (talk • contribs) 17:29, February 18, 2017 (UTC)

You can overwrite it. The intention behind my version was to use an SMW query to find all the cards in the set and their corresponding numbers and rarities to build the list. I don't think that's a good idea anymore. I think it's easier to manage, if we do what yours does; putting the contents, rarities and numbers directly on the set list page.

(If we want to SMW automate set management, I think cards should query the set list pages, not the other way around.) -- Deltaneos (talk) 19:07, February 18, 2017 (UTC)

The Masked Knights Slate Dub Name

Infobox/Yu-Gi-Oh!/Episode Screenshot value

Hey Delta. Regarding this edit: how did you make it work and why wasn't it working before? For instance, the VRAINS episodes weren't storing a Screenshot value, but, for instance, the ZEXAL episodes, which use that very same infobox, did have a Screenshot value being stored. So what was the problem? Why did it work for some, but not for others? I read your summary, but that doesn't explain said fact. Becasita ^Pendulum (talk • contribs) 16:33, May 25, 2017 (UTC)

It was just a hunch that the property might not work from inside the <image></image> or <default></default> tags.

I'm guessing that the property was cached on the other pages. Null editing or removing and re-adding the infobox from those pages might have cleared the property. -- Deltaneos (talk) 14:13, May 28, 2017 (UTC)

Gemini vs "Delta Attacker"

• So, can the Gemini monsters still be affected with Delta Attacker's effect if they gain their effects?Also, can anyone add provned rulings to the ruling seem on each card? --OnePiece (talk • contribs) 02:36, June 30, 2017 (UTC)

I'm not the best person to ask rule questions. I can't find any official rulings on it. I know there was a similar case with "Secrets of the Gallant". Its rulings say that the Gemini monster would retain the effect, but that ruling has since been deemed unofficial. There are people, who know the game's rulings far better than me. You'd be better asking one of them. -- Deltaneos (talk) 12:29, July 2, 2017 (UTC)
