Carly

In WC11 downloads, Carly Nanosa is called Carly Carmen, where do I put the image and stuff? -Falzar FZ- (talk page|useful stuff) 13:23, May 1, 2011 (UTC)

I'd say rename the article and add the image to it in the same manner as the other Charisma/5C's characters. -- Deltaneos (talk) 13:55, May 1, 2011 (UTC)

Loads of work...

Hey boss, i just found out that those whole images in this gallery, this one, this one, that one and finally that one have to be renamed... And the galleries are just messed up with some 1st ed pictures next to unlimited editions... I would love to help but i don't know where to start... Wilimut ^Talk_Mail Paris, 21:41, May 2, 2011 (UTC)

It's actually the same for the Gladiator's Assault galeries... Wilimut ^Talk_Mail Paris, 21:56, May 2, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, there's those images and thousands more. In the past we didn't use the -UE, -LE, -1E part of the filename and only uploaded either the 1st or Unlimited Edition print of a card but not both. So there's still loads of images that need to be renamed since the name format was changed.

Moving all of them is a lot of work to do in one go. I'll try and set aside a few time intervals to move them. -- Deltaneos (talk) 23:53, May 2, 2011 (UTC)

Allow me to also point out (again, actually ;) ) {{OCG-TCG card image}}, which takes a lot of potential error out of checking card file names and allows us to rename the files when necessary with a single click (as I said before, it relies on the still-really-incomplete {{Set}} system, but placeholder bits can be added pretty easily for sets as they're encountered, and later fleshed out or replaced (depending on what I figure out, but you don't have to worry about that (it's my problem ;) ))). The template also complains if it thinks it doesn't have enough info (IIRC, there may be cases where it doesn't ask for the card's edition when it should (mostly for Japanese cards, which are usually Unlimited Edition (in which case the template doesn't need the edition) but can also be Limited or Duel Terminal Edition (in these cases, the template *does* need the edition)), or vice versa, but it should usually be accurate), with the correct parameter names included, so remembering how to use it is in most cases as simple as adding {{OCG-TCG card image}} to a file page and previewing. And no, I don't normally make a habit of nesting parentheticals like this; this comment may actually be a new record for me. =D 「ダイノガイ千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 04:37, May 3, 2011 (UTC)

There are a lot of anime/manga card images that aren't named properly either, usually they lack the series part. I guess I'll take this opportunity to ask something I've been meaning to ask for a while. Why are png images "by far preferred"? Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 04:51, May 3, 2011 (UTC)

Just a guess on my part, but the most likely reason can be summarized in two words: "lossless compression". ;) As for anime/manga card images, I've said elsewhere that I intend to add support for them to {{OCG-TCG card image}} (semantically, it doesn't really cover animanga card images, but a separate template would just duplicate the majority of the current one, and there aren't any really big differences in naming that need to be accounted for); I just haven't gotten around to it yet. 「ダイノガイ千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 05:02, May 3, 2011 (UTC)

Is there really any way for regular users to help in renaming all of these, or only admin can do it? Cuz, I mean, you're doing a massive and great job but there is so much to do... I'll do my best to help you doing some stuff such as modify the galeries with the future "good" and "corrected" names. I also found a great Special Page that helps a lot finding images on the wiki that are not related to any pages yet: Special:PrefixIndex Wilimut ^Talk_Mail Paris, 06:49, May 3, 2011 (UTC)

Unfortunately, only sysops... like admins. However, you could fill out Yu-Gi-Oh!:Requests for adminship for a chance of gaining access to it; proof required of course.

Special:UnusedFiles should do exactly that, however someone in the past decided to do it the easy way and move images and leave redirects behind and not rename the images on the page instead :/

Now that that is 'disabled', I guess that's the only way to do those. -Falzar FZ- (talk page|useful stuff) 06:57, May 3, 2011 (UTC)

Well, I'm the main sysop on the french version but I won't try it here since I know I didn't work enough here to be able to become an admin. Maybe i'll try one day.

Yeah I saw thos redirects... So you guys will actually have to rename some files and also to delete some useless redirects... Tough job haha! Wilimut ^Talk_Mail Paris, 07:02, May 3, 2011 (UTC)

Don't worry too much about the amount of work for us admins; Falzar, Delt, Cheesedude, and I all rename files, and if need be, either Delt's or my bot can be given the admin bit to rename files en masse - the really tedious work is actually everything associated with renaming the files (mostly updating all the places the files are used; unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any way to automate this with AWB that wouldn't be almost as much work as doing it all by hand), as opposed to the actual act of renaming the files in and of itself. ;) And don't be so hesitant on requesting adminship here; based on what I've seen of your work so far, you look to be a promising admin candidate (and the fact that you're already an admin on the French wiki means you also have (at least a bit of) experience with the tools). =)

Falzar: My (extreme?) long-term goal is actually to empty Special:UnusedFiles (and Special:WantedFiles) as much as possible, so it can actually be *useful* again, but it's gonna take (quite) a while even with four admins moving stuff and however many users updating pages. =/ 「ダイノガイ千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 08:19, May 3, 2011 (UTC)

and Blackwings0605. -Falzar FZ- (talk page|useful stuff) 08:28, May 3, 2011 (UTC)

Oh yeah, i didn't know that you had a Bot. At least it will be quicker but yeah, there so many Unused files... I'll think about the request for adminship, I'm really not confident with my english and I'm afraid it could be penalizing. I think that knowing the tools isn't enough to be a good admin... But anyway, it's no the subject of this talk. I really do think that the major and the biggest work to do here is about the pictures... It can be such a mess! So let's get to work i guess!

XHTML Ruby Support alternative

I've found another program that appears to do the same thing, and is compatible with the current versions of Firefox. See here. Assuming it does work as well as it appears too, maybe adding the link to the ruby text explanation page (which I cannot bloody find right now) would be good. Let me know. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 18:56, May 5, 2011 (UTC)

The ruby explanation page is Help:Ruby characters. It's linked to from the Main Page. Looks like someone else added that link a few hours ago. -- Deltaneos (talk) 19:00, May 5, 2011 (UTC)

We need your advice!

Hi Delt, we need Here your advice about naming cards from old sets in languages that don't use the english set reference (SDK in english / DDK in french for example). What should we do? Wilimut ^Talk_Mail Paris, 08:31, May 6, 2011 (UTC)

Set card lists

On the Extreme Victory page, it appears some cards on the OCG side of the table still use their OCG names. Is this intentional? I don't see a lot of this on most other set pages. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 18:55, May 6, 2011 (UTC)

They probably just weren't changed after the English names were confirmed. -- Deltaneos (talk) 18:57, May 6, 2011 (UTC)

Damn. Alright then. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 19:00, May 6, 2011 (UTC)

And also, this site is little slowly to change. I noticed that when couple latest packs (before EXVC come) were adding into English. But still, don't worry, this site will be able to catch up and eat all English name before you know it, Cheesy-- Er, I mean Cheese --F r e d C a t 19:14, May 6, 2011 (UTC)

The "damn" was actually because I think that using the OCG names for the OCG column is a good idea. So I was disappointed that we weren't doing it that way. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 19:17, May 6, 2011 (UTC)

So you referred to those article of OCG name next to TCG name column? So D-Man denied it and ripping them apart into two clones? --F r e d C a t 19:28, May 6, 2011 (UTC)

What? Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 00:18, May 7, 2011 (UTC)

*cough* I meant by this, a spoiler list and stuff, you know? --F r e d C a t 00:28, May 7, 2011 (UTC)

Yes, I'm saying that I think the spoiler lists should use the OCG names in the OCG column. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 00:38, May 7, 2011 (UTC)

And I am think we should shove those kind of style in old, ancient than dirt packs (such as LOB, etc.) because I don't see any at first. --F r e d C a t 00:45, May 7, 2011 (UTC)

Request for adminship

Hi, I recently presented my request for adminship Here and, as a sysop yourself, I would love to get your point of view and I'm ready to answer any questions you might have. Thank you in advance --Wilimut ^Talk_Mail Paris, 08:50, May 7, 2011 (UTC)

I just wanted to thank you for your answer about how you like mines. I'm glad that my honesty made you happy ! Wilimut ^Talk_Mail Paris, 19:11, May 9, 2011 (UTC)

220.255...

-Falzar FZ- (talk page|useful stuff) 05:10, May 8, 2011 (UTC)

The range 220.255.*.* (220.255.0.0 - 220.255.255) is 256*256 = 65,536 addresses. That's a bit much to block. 220.255.1.0 to 220.255.2.255 is 512 addresses and covers most of them. You can block that range using Special:Block/220.255.1.0/23. If you didn't already know that, you can find more information here. -- Deltaneos (talk) 13:36, May 8, 2011 (UTC)

You should also untick the "Prevent account creation" box. -- Deltaneos (talk) 13:42, May 8, 2011 (UTC)

Alright, thanks. I wasn't 'certain' on how it worked and the page said don't use it unless you're sure. Also, I wasn't sure if the rate of vandalism was bad enough for a ranged block to be used. I'll only use it if it continues at a similar or higher rate.

Also, can you please share some thoughts on Talk:Speed Spell#Why is this an archetype?, it's not urgent, so you can take your time with it. Thanks again. -Falzar FZ- (talk page|useful stuff) 14:07, May 8, 2011 (UTC)

Deja Vu

There it go again... --F r e d C a t 13:10, May 8, 2011 (UTC)

The page was moved properly this time. I've checked Episode 104 of the English anime and Primo says "When I've managed to complete the circuit and summon the Divine Temple I will be the favourite so it won't matter what Jakob thinks.", so it looks like the name is also official. -- Deltaneos (talk) 13:18, May 8, 2011 (UTC)

Therefore that user was true first time, right? --F r e d C a t 13:22, May 8, 2011 (UTC)

Well the first time it was moved by copying and pasting the contents from one page to another and then redirecting the old page. That messes-up the page history. And they didn't say where the new name was from, so it was harder to check if it was true or not. -- Deltaneos (talk) 13:33, May 8, 2011 (UTC)

I see, so it's all good that user learned to use "Move Topic" part. --F r e d C a t 13:36, May 8, 2011 (UTC)

Summary question

In your opinion, what is the best way to deal with a character that has not yet been formally introduced in a summary. At Yu-Gi-Oh! GX - Episode 001, my insistence of not writing omniscient caused me to refer to Yugi as "the stranger", Sho as "the Duelist that faced "Leghul" and Misawa as "the applicant". Should the names just be used even if we wouldn't know them at the point by watching the episode. This is even more important in later episodes, due to Yubel, who wasn't really introduced until about twenty-two episodes after its debut. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 23:21, May 9, 2011 (UTC)

There's two different scenarios. One where the name just isn't said and one where the identity is a secret. In the first case, I don't think it's too important. e.g. the Syrus and Bastion examples and characters like Usui and Sakamaki, whose names as far as I know are only mentioned in the credits. In the second case, it's better not to say their name, e.g. Rudger (or was it Demak) spinning the "Ancient Fairy Dragon" card at the end of 5D's ep 19. Yubel probably falls into this category too. -- Deltaneos (talk) 00:09, May 10, 2011 (UTC)

You can also link to characters' articles without explicitly naming them in prose, e.g. the stranger. 「ダイノガイ千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 21:45, May 11, 2011 (UTC)

Oh, I do. And that's how I do plan to link things like Yubel and Tragoedia before their formal introduction. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 01:39, May 12, 2011 (UTC)

Aah, I should have figured as much. =) 「ダイノガイ千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 02:00, May 12, 2011 (UTC)

High Level Summoning Error

I just notice that there is a life point flaw. You know the player have 10 Life Points, right? And I just saw "Beta" attacked "Judge Man", which is stronger ATK than Beta. That will put a result of loss, if there are any kind of cards that can prevent the damage from inflict the owner. --F r e d C a t 15:51, May 10, 2011 (UTC)

The "Judge Man" was in Defense Position. -- Deltaneos (talk) 15:52, May 10, 2011 (UTC)

Ah, that must be the reason, thanks for point it out. I maybe need to wash my eyeballs in the bleach soon if I have misread again. --F r e d C a t 15:55, May 10, 2011 (UTC)

Shonen Jump Subscription Promos

I know that the information on the site is correct so I've been wondering something. My brother got an Exchange of the Spirit and I got Cyber Harpie Lady, Embodiment of Apophis, and Ancient Lamp in Shonen Jump Issues. I'm also nearly certain that I got a Winged Kuriboh LV9 in a more recent issue. I think the early ones may or may not have come from a used-book store but I know for sure that the Cyber Harpie Ladies were in a few different copies of one issue that I go. Do you know anything about this sort of oddity? BobaFett2 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 19:01, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, I can find a few sites where people are talking about getting Sneak Preview promos in Shonen Jump. You can see a list here. But I can't find any information on "Winged Kuriboh LV9" coming an issue of Shonen Jump. -- Deltaneos (talk) 19:29, May 10, 2011 (UTC)

Rank 5

I saw the scans of rank 5 on Janime, and the duel was pretty much the same but it went:

Tokunosuke: - Set 1 monster - Set 1 Spell/Trap - End

Yuma: - Summon Gagaga Magician - Attack Tokunosuke's set Chuubone (summons 3 Chuubone Jr's) - Exceed summons Baby Tragon - Tokunosuke chains Uratra C to get Hope from Yuma.

The scans are on a website where you can view them for free (but can't download). —This unsigned comment was made by TheScarecrow14 (talk • contribs) 20:33, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

Synjo DeoNecros

Could you please explain to User:SynjoDeonecros that this is a wiki and that anyone can edit? He thinks that everything I say is elitist crap and saying that I'm harassing him.

I understand that, however...

The only reason I deleted the argument was because it was headed inexorably toward a flame war, a fact that I listed as my reason for deleting it. Check the history. And while I did respect his opinion, he was the one who kept on pushing it on me after I explained my reasons for dismissing it. He refused to take "no" for an answer, hence I had no choice but to delete it. SynjoDeonecros (talk • contribs) 13:59, May 14, 2011 (UTC)

Are all English Starter and Structure Decks 1st Edition (excluding the original TCG Yugi, Joey, Pegasus, and Kaiba decks)? If not, which ones aren't always 1st Edition?BobaFett2 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 16:53, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

5DS1 has an Unlimited Edition (link) and so does 5DS2 (link). I haven't checked the others, but if you Google Image search a set number and "Unlimited Edition", you can find more such images to confirm if Unlimited versions exist. Proving they don't exist is trickier. -- Deltaneos (talk) 19:29, May 17, 2011 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure I have UE cards from almost every English Starter/Structure Deck released to date, though I'd have to check to be completely sure. 「ダイノガイ千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 20:08, May 17, 2011 (UTC)

In first place, BURNPSY is the one who said that Shriek is an unofficial source. As width evidence in my talk page and Revise Dragon's talk page. Therefore he's an idiot. --F r e d C a t 21:44, May 18, 2011 (UTC)

Japanese doesn't have as many syllables as English, so sometimes uses similar ones instead. For example, they don't have a "le" syllable, so use "re" (リ) instead. There're many other examples. As a result some foreign words have the same spelling when written in Japanese. "リバイス" is a valid spelling for both "Revise" and "Leviath". "Leviath" is what the English version is using and the card is a Leviathan, so I think we can assume it was the intended Japanese name too. -- Deltaneos (talk) 22:23, May 18, 2011 (UTC)

Then that's coming to where I am defending on. And Burnpsy, along with new friend, continued to deny that. --F r e d C a t 22:25, May 18, 2011 (UTC)

And now, you should know the reason why I had declaring to not be Admin again at this month. Those dudes are quite stress-creation, and like to make a funny of me while I am an Admin. I am now emotion-hurting by them for erase the Revise Dragon's original name off the face of this site. If they want that out, then they should take ALL old Shriek's translation names out of this site already. It's coming to the point I cannot trust Burn and his buddy anymore. --F r e d C a t 22:47, May 18, 2011 (UTC)

If Revise = Leviath, then perhaps all that should be done is to put a note on the page under the Japanese literal translation saying that.BobaFett2 (talk)

Pot of Duality

FredCat100 seems to be insisting on putting Shriek's fan-term "Pot of Greederosity" onto the Pot of Duality page. He does this, even after I explain that the Kanji clearly states the name as "Pot of Greed and Modesty" in Japanese, and continues to revert my attempts at reverting it.
