Ratio template

Hi there. Did you find any idea about this template's new layout? Also I don't know if you noticed the suggestion I gave you, maybe it could be useful for you. --Brunjox^{(talk,contrib)} 11:46, July 8, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, I saw it. I just didn't have anything to say about it at the time. ;)

I'm not sure that would really work, though; {{Decklist}} is designed like it is because it displays potentially very long lists that need collapsed for readability/usability of the rest of the page. That isn't a concern on Set Ratios pages, though. 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 13:25, July 8, 2012 (UTC)

Right, I just threw in my 2 cents because, as I said, I didn't find any better idea - at least by browsing Wikia's templates.

Sooooo I can recognize you haven't "seen the light" yet about the layout problem. :) --Brunjox^{(talk,contrib)} 14:08, July 8, 2012 (UTC)

Nope, and I haven't really had the time to give it much thought recently, either. =( 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 15:35, July 8, 2012 (UTC)

Kuri

Any idea why the "Kuri" page is listing itself as both a series and an archetype? As a result, the navbox has a blank support section with a redlink to the support page. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 19:34, July 8, 2012 (UTC)

Category:Series was added to the page manually. Remember that annoying glitch that causes pages to appear more than once in #ask queries? That's causing there to be two records for "Berserker Crush". One of them uses an old version of the page, which lists it as a support card. So {{ #ask: [[Archetypes Support::Kuri]] OR [[Anti-Support::Kuri]] }} is not coming up blank, so the infobox thinks "Kuri" has support cards, so it's classing it as an "archetype". -- Deltaneos (talk) 21:20, July 8, 2012 (UTC)

That's troublesome. Removing the series cat just causes it to categorize as an archetype too... Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 22:04, July 8, 2012 (UTC)

Isn't something currently running (at a very slow pace) to correct that glitch? How's that progressing? --Golden Key (talk • contribs) 22:36, July 8, 2012 (UTC)

I think that repair might have finished. The "Gusto" cards all have only one entry now. There is another repair going on now, which is currently at 83.0528%. iirc and uiam (which I might be), you can't stop that repair just before upgrading to a newer version of SMW and then continue it after the upgrade. If that's true, that repair must have been started recently, in which case it's working a lot faster. -- Deltaneos (talk) 22:44, July 8, 2012 (UTC)

Black Corn is still listed twice in the All "Number" cards list, and it was one of the cards mentioned when the scan I was talking about was started. Hopefully the ongoing scan will be the one to fix it and the "Kuri" problem, then. --Golden Key (talk • contribs) 22:55, July 8, 2012 (UTC)

I've been watching the repair for a few months (no, seriously). Unfortunately, it's all been the same repair operation; it carried right through the upgrade. Somewhat worryingly, it hit a high point at about 83.3%, then dropped down to its current point around the time of the upgrade, and it's been sitting there for a few days now. 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 04:25, July 9, 2012 (UTC)

If it's become idle, that's unfortunate. But the sooner we restart it the sooner it will finish, so we probably shouldn't wait around if it doesn't seem to be progressing anymore. --Golden Key (talk • contribs) 17:52, July 9, 2012 (UTC)

Not necessarily. This is the only wiki I've ever used SMW on, and this is my only experience with the SMW repair operation, so I can't say whether restarting it would really make it progress any faster, though I can say I rather doubt it. This isn't the first time it's stuck at one spot for a few days, though, and we should give it another week or so to start moving again before we seriously think about restarting it. 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 17:55, July 9, 2012 (UTC)

Oh, right. I frankly have no idea of how we might try to fix those short of trying another repair, or something more drastic like page deletion (and even that wouldn't guarantee clearing SMW's caches). =/ 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 08:23, November 7, 2012 (UTC)

How come the manga cards' names/lores be official? They were never released in English, neither in the manga nor in the TCG. :| LegenaryAsariUgetsu (talk • contribs) 17:46, July 9, 2012 (UTC)

Rank 19 was published in this week's Weekly Shonen Jump Alpha (yes, they really skipped the chapters between 1 and 19). =) 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 17:49, July 9, 2012 (UTC)

Wait, so it started from Rank 19? What the hell? xD Is it an online magazine? If yes, could you please send me the link? I'd like very much to see it. :3 I don't have the summary of Rank 19 complete anyway. :/LegenaryAsariUgetsu (talk • contribs) 17:53, July 9, 2012 (UTC)

Well, yes and no. A few issues ago it ran Rank 1 as a sort of preview, then it skipped up to 19 to start the actual serialization.

Yes, it's an online magazine (a continuation of Shonen Jump, actually), but it's subscriber-only. The website is over there if you'd like to look at getting a subscription, though (it's a weekly magazine, and has a decent amount of shonen fair - Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, Toriko, Nura, Barrage, and (once a month) Rurouni Kenshin and our own ZEXAL - as well as stuff like interviews with mangaka). 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 18:01, July 9, 2012 (UTC)

I can help out with (English) card images/names/lores as time permits, but can't do much with the summaries - I've never been any good at summarizing, and I lost interest in actually following the YGO manga after trying and failing to read Ride 1 from 5D's (interestingly enough, the whole GX Duel Academy thing that so many people were bothered by, never really bothered me). 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 19:38, July 9, 2012 (UTC)

Man you got me there, I didn't even know about that one. >.< Glad to know there is another Shonen Jump fan around. ^.^ Look234 (talk • contribs) 03:19, July 10, 2012 (UTC)

I wonder if there're any other special issues... I know of the Scholastic edition that featured JMPS-EN001 Troposphere, but it doesn't look like it actually differs from the equivalent newsstand/subscriber issue of SJ.

Do you collect any other magazines (primarily anime/manga, but I'm also curious about just in general)? I've got a few issues of Shojo Beat that my library was looking to get rid of, but other than that I don't have anything anime/manga related (though I'd love to start collecting others). More generally, I have a pretty mean collection of National Geographic Magazine (some of my issues are from the 70's and maybe even 60's... almost twice my age! =D) and some other odds and ends (some issues of National Geographic Traveler and National Geographic Adventure, some Scientific American issues, a couple Smithonians, some Game Informers, some Reader's Digests, etc.), though I don't have any real plans to try and expand my collections of any of these. 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 03:32, July 10, 2012 (UTC)

Also, I don't suppose you have any idea where Viz stores the actual page images for SJ Alpha, do you, Look? I'd like to start keeping archival copies of the issues (especially since they're going to expire after a year), but I've never been able to find them and I really don't want to download rips from some random site. 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 03:37, July 10, 2012 (UTC)

The only other special issue I can remember is the Fifth Anniversary Collector's Issue. It's pretty easy to get a hold of. I could never find the Scholastic edition though, sad day. -_- And yep I do collect others, in the manga category I have a few Weekly Jump and V Jump from when I went to Japan a year ago. I also have about 350+ graphic novels, mainly Shonen Jump. As for other magazines I do have a few Nat Geos a couple of old ones as well from 1955 I found at a yard sale, just to cool to pass up. ^_^ Others I collect are Architectural Digest, Azure, a couple of Make magazines, and various design and editing magazines. I just like getting idea from them, really nice photos and cool concepts.

And I've looked through the source and they have hidden it a bit, I can't quite find it at the moment. For now I've just been doing full screen screenshots, I also have had that same idea of archiving the Alpha issues. ^_^ Look234 (talk • contribs) 04:00, July 10, 2012 (UTC)

I seem to remember seeing some copies of the Scholastic edition on eBay back around the time it was released, but I don't think any of them were still shrink wrapped - anyone who knew enough to know what they were looking at with that edition would have bought as many copies as they could to get as many copies of the promo as possible, and resold the magazine and cards separately.

I've been all through the HTML source of one of the viewer pages, and a lot of the Javascript files as well. It's looking more and more to me like some variables are set somewhere and the Flash viewer takes these variables and constructs the appropriate URLs out of them to get the images, or something along that line. I've also tried looking through the resources listed in Chrome's data inspector, again no dice. =( 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 04:15, July 10, 2012 (UTC)

I will keep an eye out for the Scholastic edition. Yeah I can grab the reader .swf file but it doesn't get past the loading bar because it needs the Javascript input I'm guessing. They are getting better at this protecting their material business. :P Look234 (talk • contribs) 04:26, July 10, 2012 (UTC)

IAll right, I think I got it figured out: In Chrome's data inspector, open the "Network" tab and reload the reader page. Actual issue images will be .jpg's with digit names under the URL "paidmedia.viz.com/manga/shonenjump/wsja/" (the images should be the last objects loaded, or close to it). Unfortunately, each image appears to have a unique "crypton" hash which is required to actually view the image; without this hash you just get an error notice with a reference number. This means we'll have to grab each image one-by-one (or you could use a network sniffer or the like to grab the images automatically as they're loaded). It does go reasonably fast once you've gotten into the rhythm, though. 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 05:20, July 10, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah I had a feeling there would be a specific sequence for each user that is verified elsewhere. Man, oh well Print Screen for now. :P Look234 (talk • contribs) 16:57, July 10, 2012 (UTC)

Ideally, a "summary" should cover pretty much everything that happens in an episode/chapter, up to and including irrelevant banter between characters. So it's not really even a "summary", its more like an "almost word-for-word retelling of the episode/chapter"). Partial summaries are fine too. Something is better than nothing in this case. I don't think my summaries are particularly great, but that doesn't stop me from writing them anyway. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 23:45, July 9, 2012 (UTC)

Pft, if your summaries aren't good, then mine are random craps. I try to tell what happens, but I don't know well how to do that. And the fact of my native language not being English just makes things worse. >__<

By the way, at Luna (ZEXAL), they are already posting she has at least 11 Numbers, including 5 and 59 as well. Could you, Dinoguy or Look, please check in the English manga, in the part she reveals she's a Numbers Hunter, how many Numbers card appeared behind her (exactly the scene from the image in her article), and which ones had their numbers shown? I can't tell for sure since the Japanese scan I had was cut in half. :PLegenaryAsariUgetsu (talk • contribs) 23:52, July 9, 2012 (UTC)

Yours seem fine to me. Yeah, the grammar could use some work, but if English isn't your first language, that's totally understandable (not that my grammar is flawless either). You get better as you go along too. Some of my early summaries were abysmal. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 01:20, July 10, 2012 (UTC)

From what I can tell, it isn't implied in the least that the Numbers shown behind Luna are the ones she owns (or even that she actually owns any Numbers, though she does seem to have intimate knowledge of what they do to Duelists that own one); the dialogue on that page proceeds as follows:

Luna (panel 1): "In light of your skill, I have a favor to ask."

Shark: "A favor...?"

Luna (panel 2): "Erase all the Numbers..." "...from this world!"

Shark (panel 3; thought): "The Numbers?!"

If you still want to know regardless, the Numbers shown behind Luna are 5, 76, 27, 59, 13, and 60, and there are two with only one identifiable digit, ?0 and ?5, and there are three that have no identifiable digits. I can upload an image of that panel or the whole page (or the two-page spread) if you'd like visual confirmation. 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 02:49, July 10, 2012 (UTC)

I've linked to this discussion over at Neo Ark Cradle. I'm going to see if anyone there can compare the dialogue to the what the Japanese version had.

Also, re-reading my summary spiel above, I should clarify that I understand that you both have other projects on-wiki as well ans if you prefer to do those, go for it. Just saying that any help with summaries wouldn't be unappreciated. ^_^ Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 15:54, July 10, 2012 (UTC)

The second list in that page is not showing up and I want to go through all the manga tokens too, since it seems they were subject to rampant Type/Attribute speculation. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 18:18, July 11, 2012 (UTC)

Fixed. Fun fact: apparently, there are no Tokens that have appeared both in the anime and manga, but that have not been released in the OCG/TCG (or our tagging of such could just be teh suxorz)! 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 19:37, July 11, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks. I've gone through them. Two things: That list seems to include TCG tokens as well. Even "Sheep Token" is listed there. Also, there is some indication that several of the manga "tokens" are not actually tokens. I've asked Ryusui about it. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 23:48, July 13, 2012 (UTC)

The TCG tokens are appearing because they don't have any set info; {{CardTable2}} only uses the set info parameters when deciding if cards are anime/manga/vg-exclusive. 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 07:34, July 14, 2012 (UTC)

All right, now I understand what you're asking about: "File:Imbox style.png" is used for the warning message box on non-PNG card images when they use {{OCG-TCG card image}} (I hope that makes sense). You're asking how to make such a warning box for video game card images. The answer is, you'll eventually be able to do so with the current template, adding it the same way you do to OCG/TCG card images, but first I'll have to finish the template's support for VG card images (there's a bit of support now, but it's spotty and untested; I'll have to sit down and work on it some more). 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 08:02, July 14, 2012 (UTC)

RE:Kachi Kochi Dragon attack name

No problem, call me what you want. ;) If it gets easier for you, you can call me Kank as well (short for Kankurou, my main username). By the way, do you know how can I add an "AKA" to my profile? xP

OK, so, 'bout the name. Well, that's not the name of the attack; its just an order. Luna just ordered him to pulverize Righty. This can be a little confusing some times, but many characters just order a monster to do something when activating an effect or attacking (rip 'em to shreds, destroy, rise, protect, etc.). Those are not actual attack or effect names; actual names usually are things more like, for example, Bahamut's Divine Soul. You can recognize it for the different style. Instead of orders, they are like descriptions (e.g. Thunder Blade, Great Cannon, Dragon Flame, etc.).LegenaryAsariUgetsu (talk • contribs) 15:59, July 14, 2012 (UTC)

If Exodia's "Obliterate" is being treated as an attack name, we should remove it right now. That's clearly an order, not a name. Maybe we could add an invisible note in the attack names page about this (y'know, that notes that don't appear in the page, but appear when you are editing it). LegenaryAsariUgetsu (talk • contribs) 16:40, July 14, 2012 (UTC)

I personally disagree. An order is something very irrelevant in my opinion. And many characters give orders in many situations, so documenting all would be a big waste of time. I myself can just Duel my friend and when attacking his monster, say "Destroy!". Again, in my opinion, that's something much irrelevant. Attack names at least are original and unique. Orders are just what the card does, and are very general terms that can be used for any card. LegenaryAsariUgetsu (talk • contribs) 16:48, July 14, 2012 (UTC)

Actually, once we explain it clearly, they will understand. For example, you understood after I explained you just once, didn't you? We just have to explain it clearly and give examples. ;) And if one editor or another still doesn't understand and add an order, we can just undo it, and contact him/her explaining. LegenaryAsariUgetsu (talk • contribs) 16:56, July 14, 2012 (UTC)

Automatic "searched via" list

User:Falzar FZ/Sandbox7. I've finally decided to finish it off (though it only contains whatever is on the page Searcher). To use it, transclude into to any Tips Page and preview. Do you think it can/should be added to the every tips page? Like through the Navigation template, but in that case, it can't really split between Traditional/Advanced Format, but having it in its own section or in a box would work. It's also sorta heavy on the #ask:s. -Falzar FZ- (talk page|useful stuff) 10:31, July 15, 2012 (UTC)
And, is there a query for "non-Tuner monster"? I can't seem to find one for things like Gusto Egul. -Falzar FZ- (talk page|useful stuff) 11:27, July 18, 2012 (UTC)

Heh, I was starting to wonder when someone else would take that and finish it off. =D

I think we should probably use concepts for a lot of the queries before deploying it; that should help out with the template's "weight".

Well, there's [[Monster Type::!Tuner monster]]; have you tried that? 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 16:52, July 18, 2012 (UTC)

After previewing it on a few Card Tips pages, I'm thinking we should somehow set it off from the rest of the page, moreso than just via an <hr/>; I'm thinking either a box (my preference) or a separate section. This would more easily allow us to add a note stating that the searcher info is added by a template and point people to a place to report omissions and inaccuracies. What do you think? 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 18:51, July 18, 2012 (UTC)

Total Monsters = 0

Tuners = 0

∴ Total non-Tuner monsters = 0

 !Tuner monster = 0

I agree on the box and the rest.

Also, I've basically got a convert SMW list to the Searcher page list script done. A convert Searcher page list to auto-searched via template code is being worked on.

-Falzar FZ- (talk page|useful stuff) 03:53, July 19, 2012 (UTC)

Hmm... That's an interesting/weird problem. For now, I've fixed casing on type2 links/property values in {{CardTable2}}; if that doesn't help, I'll add an explicit "non-Tuner monster" value somewhere (maybe as another value for Property:Monster Type? that would make a lot of sense...). 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 05:26, July 19, 2012 (UTC)

It's maybe because anything that doesn't have a Monster Type does not have "No Entry" (0). ! here refers to something like anything with a Monster Type, but not a Tuner monster. Things without anything doesn't count. -Falzar FZ- (talk page|useful stuff) 05:38, July 19, 2012 (UTC)

Right, I knew that (no I didn't =D ). Should be fixed now, though I won't promise that I didn't muck something up. =D 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 05:47, July 19, 2012 (UTC)

Seems to work, the number of non-Tuners is increasing. Then again, how come it doesn't work with !Nomi... -Falzar FZ- (talk page|useful stuff) 06:22, July 19, 2012 (UTC)

I think it's because Property:Monster Type can only ever have one value, whereas Property:Summoning gets as many values as a card has summoning properties. 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 07:42, July 19, 2012 (UTC)

Yes, that makes sense. !Nomi means has "something other than Nomi". So if it has Nomi/Cannot_Set, it does have "something other than Nomi", so it is not excluded.

Updated to complete list and simplified it a bit as well... and I just noticed another redundancy ([[Attribute::...]] [[Concept:Main Deck monsters]]) can be simplified to just Attribute. Same for Type, Level, ATK, DEF. -Falzar FZ- (talk page|useful stuff) 02:00, July 20, 2012 (UTC)

-Falzar FZ- (talk page|useful stuff) 02:00, July 20, 2012 (UTC)

For Machina Armored Unit, I would say just add it for all monsters; there are only maybe a couple dozen cases at most that it would be incorrect. I really can't say how to handle the others. 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 03:35, July 20, 2012 (UTC)

I'm counting 8 cards you'd have to exclude, based on what's listed there. That's not terrible for listing out manually in the template, but the list would have to be checked/updated every time a new overpowered Machine-Type monster got unveiled. 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 03:50, July 21, 2012 (UTC)

6 of them are either Extra Deck monsters or Nomi, so they would have been filtered out anyways so they don't need to be manually excluded. -Falzar FZ- (talk page|useful stuff) 03:56, July 21, 2012 (UTC)

Aah, that makes sense. I didn't look at the monsters themselves. What are the two that would need filtered? 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 04:29, July 21, 2012 (UTC)

The 2 that are Main Deck monsters and listed in "Can always be Special Summoned", as mentioned on the page.

Mechanical Sea Dragon - Plesion, B.E.S. Big Core MK-2

I've already excluded those two from "Searches" list on the "Check" page. -Falzar FZ- (talk page|useful stuff) 04:36, July 21, 2012 (UTC)

Just "Broken Blocker" and "Future Fusion" left.

The only simple solution I can think of for "Broken Blocker" is letting the Card Table template do it.

For "Future Fusion", I'm not sure why !No Entry doesn't work, when all the No Entry ones should only have one value, which is the No Entry value. Alternatively, if we remove No Entry from "Fusion Material for", [[Fusion Material for::~*]] won't work since it has datatype Page, not String.

-Falzar FZ- (talk page|useful stuff) 12:09, July 22, 2012 (UTC)

Busy, recently, so I'll continue this slowly.

Should the concepts be grouped together (e.g. [[Level::<6]] [[Attribute::DARK]]) or seperate for each (e.g. [[Level::<6]] and then [[Attribute::DARK]] on a separate page)? Having them separate means we can create much less pages, but I'm not sure if there'll be a difference in "weight". -Falzar FZ- (talk page|useful stuff) 13:53, August 12, 2012 (UTC)

I don't know; I'm suddenly not sure what you're doing. What pages are you talking about to be created? 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 14:16, August 12, 2012 (UTC)

The use of concepts was actually your suggestion (first reply). Take Wind-Up Magician for example.

The current line is:

{{#if: {{#ask: [[English Name::{{PAGENAME}}]] [[Level::<4]] [[Archetypes::Wind-Up]] }} |"[[Wind-Up Magician]]"}}

Should concept pages be created separately, so that we end up using:

{{#if: {{#ask: [[English Name::{{PAGENAME}}]] [[Concept:Level 4 or lower]] [[Concept:Wind-Up cards]] }} |"[[Wind-Up Magician]]"}}

or grouped, so that we end up using:

{{#if: {{#ask: [[English Name::{{PAGENAME}}]] [[Concept:Level 4 or lower Wind-Up cards]] }} |"[[Wind-Up Magician]]"}}

-Falzar FZ- (talk page|useful stuff) 14:27, August 12, 2012 (UTC)

Aah, right. Thanks for reminding me.

I don't know which is better TBH; I haven't done nearly enough with Concepts yet to really have a feel for them. The original intention behind my suggestion, though, was for concepts like Concept:Pyramid Turtle Searchable Cards, rather than more generic concepts (in fact, the possibility of using more generic concepts actually hadn't occurred to me).

CardTable 2 screw up the English Name

(Respond here, if you comment) Ok, now look what MediaWiki had done to the change. It can no longer simple called it "Controller Back-Fired", it is instead called "User:FredCat100/Create Cards/Memoir's Secret Cards/Controller Back-Fired". Holy hell, this is why I refused MediaWiki's asshole stuffs into this site in first place! But no, they continued and continued to shoving their ridiculous toys into this site! I don't care if you think they will fixing it - THEY NEVER EVER FIXING THE SHIT STUFFS! Look at Cards images, right side stretched - not fixed! Each time I tried to typing in the symbol, like "( )" or comma/quotation while inside the link list (Like this Luna (ZEXAL), if it was droplist, it refused to let me put the "( )" in until I deleted the [[ part, fuck it.) I am still called them waste of the time and waste of the equipments. They are downgrade rather than upgrade, fuck!

Card Appearances Links

Would there be any way to generate a list of articles that have Card Appearances pages linked in {{Decklist}} (or even just in mainspace articles)? It was common before we opened the anime/manga lore parameters by default. I thought I had gotten all of them, but I just found another one this morning at PaniK. I'd like to make sure I didn't miss any more of them. Thanks. And happy belated birthday. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 14:37, August 5, 2012 (UTC)

I think I got it; any such pages should start appearing in Category:Decklist transclusions linking to Card Appearances pages. And thanks for the happy birthday! (it's not belated, at least for me; it's not even noon here ;) ) 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 16:46, August 5, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks. That category appears to be empty. Did we get them all already or have they just not started appearing yet? I based the "belated" on my perspective. I read the previous happy birthday post yesterday (though since I went to bed a bit after midnight, it was technically today). So, yeah. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 23:31, August 5, 2012 (UTC)

Since we can't currently see how much is in the job queue, it's really not possible to say either way. I can say, though, that {{Decklist}} has 8,000+ transclusions, so it's unlikely that all entries have already been updated (or maybe the job queue empties faster than I thought... who knows =/ ). 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 00:47, August 6, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, but its only going to show up in anime and manga Decklists and only a small percentage of those, at that. There should not be anything like this in 5D's and ZEXAL articles at all. I really did think I went through and got them all quite a while a go, but at the very least I missed the one at PaniK. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 01:14, August 6, 2012 (UTC)

Hey, guess what? (archetypes again)

See Talk:Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL - Episode 067. I asked Ark about it. Apparently, anime cards don't even specify furigana, which means that what we currently have as "Heraldic" and "Medallion" actually all belong to another larger archetype supported by "Heraldic Beast Twin-Head Eagle", with "Heraldic" also having several of its own support cards and "Medallion" having none (and "Heraldic Beast" having even more still).

Do you recall any examples of anime cards specifying furigana in archetypes? I wasn't aware that they didn't. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 01:22, August 14, 2012 (UTC)

I don't see furigana on any of the kanji in the image we have of Twin-Head Eagle, other than its name; this may be a case of the anime leaving out a non-essential element to simplify animation. I would want to see a specific example of a support card in the anime supporting a card that is not part of the archetype that support card supports in the real-life game due to furigana differences, before coming to the conclusion that anime support effects ignore the furigana. If it is true, though, that just made anime archetype support that much more complicated. =P

I don't generally pay much attention to anime card images, so I can't recall any off the top of my head. We'll probably need to just take a random sample of recent anime cards and see what's up with them that way. 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 01:45, August 14, 2012 (UTC)

This has nothing to do with real life cards yet. The support card is anime-only, the others are real life. "Heraldic Beast Twin-Head Eagle" was originally thought to only support "Heraldic" Xyz Monsters, which would exclude "Number 69: God Medallion Coat of Arms", which is the card Tron ultimately targets with it in today's episode (the only current "proper" target is "Number 8: Heraldic King Genome Heriter"). Looking closer at the image, it doesn't specify any furigana, so "God Medallion" is a valid target. It originally looked like an issue of an action in the anime directly contradicted what was written on the card. But since the card doesn't specify furigana, its actually legit. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 02:11, August 14, 2012 (UTC)

Japanese lore of anime-only cards do not have furigana, probably to simplify animation. The effect of "Twin-Head Eagle" says 紋章 monsters. But just by looking its lore, we do not know if it is 紋（もん）章（しょう） or 紋章（メダリオン）. We know "Heraldic Beast Eale" supports 紋（もん）章（しょう） because Tron says "Monshō" not "Medarion". But Tron does not say "Monshō" or "Medarion" when he activates the effect of "Twin-Head Eagle". Since it is used with "Number 69: God Medallion Coat of Arms", I think it supports 紋章（メダリオン）. Similar, "Block Lock" does not support "Destiny HERO" monsters. ZingerZheng (talk • contribs) 02:16, August 14, 2012 (UTC)

Ah, that explains a lot. It supporting "Heraldic" was an assumption based on the fact that "Medallion" hadn't had any support yet then. Very fortunate, as that means there isn't another archetype to worry about here. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 04:35, August 14, 2012 (UTC)

Token Template

Um, little problem. Y'know, in the article for tokens, the cards which go in "Summoned by the effect of" are separated by coma. But, in the case of "Fireball Token" for example, it is summoned by "Goka, the Pyre of Malice", which has a coma on its name. So, the template considers it as 2 different cards. :/ I tried to play around with the < nowiki > but it didn't work. :/ LegendaryAsariUgetsu (talk • contribs) 20:03, August 19, 2012 (UTC)

Crap, I was afraid of that happening. I could probably special-case that, but it's not an extensible solution; I'll have to figure out some better way of working around it (and in the meantime, there's always Delt's workaround). 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 09:24, August 21, 2012 (UTC)

...And, of course, obvious solution is obvious. I'll just change the parameter to allow a bullet-delimited list instead (or rather, because of the fact that it's used widely as a comma-delimited parameter, "as well"), and we can switch that article over and get rid of the current hack. 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 03:45, August 22, 2012 (UTC)

Image bull

Ok, someone needs to tell me what's going on with this. In Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL - Episode 067, the article is perfectly content letting me have two images in the same paragraph - the one of the "ZW" monsters and the one of Tron. Later in the article, I attempt the same thing and it renders as one huge paragraph if I put two images in it. Instead, I had to break up the paragraphs. I can't tell what's causing it and it pisses me off that it works fine the first time and then doesn't work later. I cannot figure it out and its impacting how the articles look.

That's about what I suspected after seeing the list, but thanks for confirming. Can you say whether they didn't appear because they got shafted when ZEXAL supplanted 5D's (or 5D's supplanted GX; I'm not too sure on the timing here), or did they just never seem to be featured because other cards were getting all the focus? 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 01:48, August 29, 2012 (UTC)

I don't really know. It strikes me that they would have been hard to use in the anime - taking two turns before they could use their effects. Anime Duels tend to be quicker. They don't fit a realistic amount of monsters into a single Duel as it is sometimes, so taking two turns to even be able to fully use one monster wouldn't help. As far as I know, the only ones that even appeared were "Gigaplant" in a flashback, "Crusader of Endymion" (seen twice, once in 5D's and once in ZEXAL, by random passerby Duelists) and (according to our Gemini monster page, at least) "Phoenix Gearfried" in a WRGP poster. One Gemini was even named after a GX anime character, but he never ended up using it, outside of the Tag Force games. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 02:03, August 29, 2012 (UTC)

I've been skimming it as you guys have been discussing; basically, you're looking for an analog to {{Unofficial name}}/{{Unofficial lore}}, except to be used on effects that have been reconstructed based on what the character(s) say and what the card does, right (or am I misunderstanding what you're looking for)? I can try something for that after a bit. ;) 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 16:56, August 26, 2012 (UTC)

Yes, that. Cause y'know, we can't know the exact stats and lores of cards if the cards aren't shown, so we have to try deducing them for many cards from the anime and manga. Basically, we were thinking on a template like those that show the card's name/lore is not official, which showed the exact lore/effects of the card aren't know; what we add on the card article is merely deduced with what was shown in the series. LegendaryAsariUgetsu (talk • contribs) 17:53, August 26, 2012 (UTC)

Do you think this template should be used for not-known-if-it's-a-normal-or-effect-monster cards as well? I mean, monsters that appeared in the anime/manga, but the card was never shown, and the effect never activated, so we treat them as Normal Monsters, but they may be effect monster as well. "Three-Stage Belly Knight" was a normal monster since his debut in Rank 14, but in Rank 17, Yuma used its effect, and the card was shown, then it is an effect monsters. So, do you think this new template should be used for cases like this as well? LegendaryAsariUgetsu (talk • contribs) 00:54, August 29, 2012 (UTC)

I think it's probably better to use ??? instead of assuming it's one of Normal or Effect (or something else). This isn't much different from how we treat unknown Attributes and Types (which we also don't like people guessing at). 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 01:05, August 29, 2012 (UTC)

Ok, I'm a bit confused now. Why is this being used for cards that do have their full effects disclosed on the card, like "Twin Pillar of Ice"? Yeah, it's a vague manga effect, but it's still the real, official effect. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 23:17, August 29, 2012 (UTC)

I'm not sure; I only intended it to be used for cards whose effect text was never explicitly shown on-screen/-page. I think for stuff like Twin Pillar, we need one lore field for the effect as-printed, and another for a reconstruction based on its observed effect(s), with the reconstructed lore field always accompanied by the disclaimer template. That would allow us to automate its inclusion, and also to distinguish completely between the two cases. 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 23:22, August 29, 2012 (UTC)

Oh, I added the template to that one 'cuz, well, the actual effect was not shown. The lore literally reads "Two pillars of ice emerge on your field." This is not a Yu-Gi-Oh! effect, it's a real life event. The actual effect is not precisely known, we just know that one pillar can negate an attack, but we don't know if there are other effects, limitations, drawbacks, etc. So, we don't know the actual effect accurately. LegendaryAsariUgetsu (talk • contribs) 23:37, August 29, 2012 (UTC)

Ah, ok, that does make sense then. I think we could word the displayed text better though. "May not be accurate" can easily be interpreted by readers as "lolz, we guessed!". Which I suppose is true.

....Lol, didn't like it. :P Guess I'm too used to this standard Wikia one. xD It took me some minutes just to make a simple edit on a card article using MonoBook xD (by the way I just learned recently 'bout the shortcuts on "more", so I'm like enjoying myself using 'em now >8D). But those links are very useful, thanks for the support. ^^ LegendaryAsariUgetsu (talk • contribs) 01:42, August 29, 2012 (UTC)

That's interesting; this is the first time I've ever had the opportunity to hear the opinion of someone using Monobook for the first time when they're used to a different skin (especially one as different as Wikia/Oasis). If you feel like typing a bit, I'd definitely like to hear some specifics of what you didn't like and what gave you trouble. ;)

No problem, I really like helping other editors out like this! =D 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 01:45, August 29, 2012 (UTC)

Haha, I see. Actually, the main problem was that I got lost. *__* I'm very used to the Wikia skin, to the point of using it virtually automatically (I manually type unofficial name/lore templates in no more than 2 or 3 seconds, for example, as I have to add 'em on the new manga cards every month for 2 different manga). So, with that totally different skin, I just screwed it up. :P Although the detailed links to the left on the main page and to the top on card articles look pretty nice. It's more practical. Oh, but I didn't like the look of it xD. Like, all white and square xD. So, for short, no actual reason. xD I'd just take a good while to get used to that totally new skin. LegendaryAsariUgetsu (talk • contribs) 02:03, August 29, 2012 (UTC)

Aah, I suspected some of that might've been about it. There is another skin I like better than Monobook myself, called Vector; it was developed specifically to supplant Monobook and to help with accessibility/usability, but apparently Wikia will have no part of that, at least for the forseeable future. If you're curious, though, Vector is the skin used on e.g. Wikipedia. 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 02:09, August 29, 2012 (UTC)

Not exact just to Fumbling of an update, but also what Asari said. You both are actually right, I am pissing off at anything MediaWiki threw at us. They still don't get the quotation in the link, like "Harpie's Feather Duster", and if it was drop list then I pushed ' in "Harpie's" word, it didn't added and the drop list disappeared - wasted my pushing for nothing! That's other thing they need to get it working. Other part, Width Size on Wikia... is still the issues. --iFredCat 17:04, August 29, 2012 (UTC)

There's also the new system for viewing files, which didn't improve it in nothing, it's the opposite. My internet connection's quality depends on the time, so when it is not good, it take me a lot just to open a file in order to edit it or copy the name. Before, I just had to click, and done. I've seen no actually good neither necessary changes made recently. LegendaryAsariUgetsu (talk • contribs) 22:07, August 29, 2012 (UTC)

While those are valid concerns, the problem with apostrophes in names is a problem with Semantic MediaWiki, which is completely separate from MediaWiki (in spite of the name), and the problem with viewing files is Wikia's idiocy in insisting on social-network-ifying MediaWiki. 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 22:13, August 29, 2012 (UTC)

I am going by Japanese names FredCat. And even then, I'm sure the Japanese players would only use the cards that fit the theme and not the name.

The scope attribute is a purely semantic one, meaning it has no visual effect in any major browser. Instead, it is meant to clarify the relationship between a header cell and the rest of the table: any given table header cell generally describes the data that is found in the accompanying row or column, information that is important for screen readers and other assistive browsers.

I'm wondering if we shouldn't incorporate an automatic (anti-)support list for cards into the redesign...

Question regarding Template:Decklist

Hi, I come from another wiki who is impressed by your Template:Decklist and I wish to ask exactly how exactly you made it. See we tried something similar with this but it seems to not work. Ricky Spanish (talk • contribs) 02:24, September 6, 2012 (UTC)

Well, first it's important to keep in mind that I personally am not the one who created {{Decklist}}, though I have cleaned up its code and added some functionality. The general idea behind it is pretty simple, though: an outer, "wrapper" box, which contains three instances of {{Navbox}} (or your equivalent template of choice), one for each category of card (Monster, Spell/Magic, Trap). The Monster box can optionally be divided up into types of monsters (Normal, Effect, Fusion, etc.), and there are also optional count parameters for each of the card categories, but other than that, what I listed before is really all there is to it.

I can't really say anything about what might be wrong with your template unless you tell me what happens when you try to use it versus what you expect to happen (linking to an example usage would also help some), though I can say you'll have less to keep track of if you use HTML tags for the table instead of wikimarkup, since HTML doesn't have to be escaped to work properly with ParserFunctions (meaning you can lose all of the {{!}}, which will make the code much more readable). 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 07:52, September 6, 2012 (UTC)

Well the thing is, we based ours off yours however, when you use it, the positions unbalance if one has more than the other. As for the HTML thing is that the markups dont work when used with another template, so we opted for wiki markupsRicky Spanish (talk • contribs) 21:56, September 6, 2012 (UTC)

Okay, now I see what your problem is. Unfortunately, without some really, really ugly ParserFunctions, there is no way to avoid this while using tables. I can code up a fix if you want, but it'll increase the size of the template immensely and make it a million times harder to see what's actually going on in the code (and thus, that much harder to make fixes or add features). I would instead encourage you to look at alternate ways of presenting that information, e.g. in the infobox or something. 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 23:13, September 6, 2012 (UTC)

Minor suggestion

So, yeah, minor suggestion, but maybe would it be good to have a " | cover =" option to add on the template for tankōbon volumes of the manga, where we put the characters and cards that appear on the cover? (e.g. for Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL - Volume 001, it'd be " | cover = Yuma Tsukumo, Astral"; for Yu-Gi-Oh! GX - Volume 001, it'd be " | cover = Jaden Yuki, "Elemental HERO Terra Firma"). Just wondering. =)

AND, by the way, is it only for me that the "release date" of the volume articles of all manga series have a problem? They show "{{#negref: (date)|$s$|$ref$|$s$$ref$}}" instead of just the date... :/ LegendaryAsariUgetsu (talk • contribs) 01:17, September 8, 2012 (UTC)

That's one thing I was planning to add whenever I got around to creating {{Infobox volume}} as a replacement for whatever template we're currently using for volumes. ;) If you want it badly enough, though, I'm fine with adding it now instead of waiting, especially since I can't say when I might actually get around to working on that template.

I think it might be better to have separate parameters for characters versus monsters, but haven't given it that much thought, so there could be good reasons to use a single parameter instead.

That's because Negref is disabled (as it has been since we were upgraded to 1.19. Wikia has yet to make even an acknowledgement of that, as far as I know, so there's no word on when it might finally be fixed. 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 02:39, September 8, 2012 (UTC)

Remade SVG Icons

They can be found at User:Falzar FZ/SVG. There is one problem though, and that is the WIND icon. If you look at the raw svg file, you can see that it looks awesome :P
but when you use it on a page, wikia converts it to a png, and it doesn't actually work very well. Thoughts on why that happens (when the EARTH icon using the same technique works fine)?
-Falzar FZ- (talk page|useful stuff) 06:04, September 18, 2012 (UTC)

Cool, I'll try to remember to switch to these later (unless Delt or someone else beats me to it). =)

Just out of curiosity, would you be willing to create OCG/TCG Attribute icons for the other official languages (French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, and Korean should do it, I think, unless other-language anime dubs also use localized icons)? This is something I've wanted for a while, but never got around to asking anybody for them. As far as naming, I think "ATTRIBUTE-LN.svg" (with the Attribute name in all-caps, and the language/region tag per the image policy) should work fine.

Not really; my only thought is that it's some sort of bug with the software Wikia uses to handle SVGs (Wikimedia uses Imagemagick, IIRC, but I don't know what Wikia uses). I'm not sure why the WIND icon would trigger it while the EARTH icon doesn't, though; I really don't know much about SVGs so I'm probably not the best person to ask, for once (gasp!). =) 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 06:14, September 18, 2012 (UTC)

For the Normal Property icon, would you be okay with removing the "N", so that it's just a blank circular icon?

That might need double checking though. Your SVGs are awesome, by the way. -- Deltaneos (talk) 17:39, September 18, 2012 (UTC)

The page on Normal Spell Card, it says "some video games they use" the N version. So maybe it'll be useful somewhere.

Do you know where the PT and KR rulebooks are located?

-Falzar FZ- (talk page|useful stuff) 06:01, September 19, 2012 (UTC)

Awesome, thanks for your work! =D

The relevant pages from the Korean rulebook are at [4]; the Portuguese rulebook will doubtless be considerably harder to come by. 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 06:16, September 19, 2012 (UTC)

So KR one isn't a pdf, no wonder I couldn't find it. However, the images are too small to compare fonts. -Falzar FZ- (talk page|useful stuff) 06:23, September 19, 2012 (UTC)

There are also Chinese versions of the LIGHT and DARK icons. They should be straightforward enough. They're the same as the other icons but with no annotation text. LIGHT: File:BlueEyesWhiteDragon-KA-CH-C.jpg, DARK: File:DarkMagicianWJ-CH-UR.jpg. -- Deltaneos (talk) 09:27, September 19, 2012 (UTC)

The size of the word is different as well. -Falzar FZ- (talk page|useful stuff) 09:34, September 19, 2012 (UTC)

Might want to figure out what game the main Type images are from.

You could make the icons on each row the same size so they can be easily compared.

I copied GÖTTLICHKEIT from w:c:yugioh:de:Attribut, now that I check it again, I find GOTTHEIT (but from the image, I see GOTTLICH)

There was one more thing I wanted to say, but I forgot what it was :/

-Falzar FZ- (talk page|useful stuff) 00:54, September 23, 2012 (UTC)

I'm wondering if they're from DOR, though if that's the case, I don't know where the Psychic icon is from.

I thought about that, but the only way to reasonably do so would be to either stretch the PNGs (resulting in atrocious rendering) or shrink the SVGs, which in most cases would almost defeat the purpose since the PNGs are usually no larger than about 34 pixels to a side. Besides, not overriding the sizes also allows them to be compared on the basis of size, and provides an at-a-glance reference of which PNGs we could stand to have better versions of. ;)

From that, I found [5], which clearly shows it in the context of a printed card. Keeping in mind my German is next to nonexistent, I would say it's "GÖTTLICH", with the umlaut/dieresis.

Well, you know the drill, if you remember, ask away. =D 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 01:01, September 23, 2012 (UTC)

I know. I was thinking about that before I created the page, but while actually working on it, it slipped my mind.

If we go by Wikipedia policy as precedent, non-free files also can't be used in project space, so we'd just be back to square one. 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 01:24, September 23, 2012 (UTC)

That's probably more to do with the fact that we have been far more lax in the past in regards to non-free file usage. In addition, many of the pages in the Project namespace (Featured Card and Latest Set) are used as pseudo-articles and so should probably be treated as articles from the perspective of policy. 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 01:39, September 23, 2012 (UTC)

The black and white ones were copied straight from the rulebook pdf, which was entirely in black and white. I wouldn't mind having colour versions.

Unless we're missing some cards, there aren't any cards with those icons in existence. Also note that the same icon is colored differently depending on what scan you're looking at (for instance, Dark seems to trade off between black and dark blue); I don't know if there's any significance to this or even if it's not just an artifact of the scanning. 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 23:22, September 27, 2012 (UTC)

Re-colouring is done very easily on SVGs so I could estimate them for now, or since they're not going to be used anyways, leave them until a card using it is available, I don't really mind either way. -Falzar FZ- (talk page|useful stuff) 11:46, September 28, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, and a question.

Hello, first I would like to thank you for protecting the Turtle Bird page.  However, that excessive vandalism makes me ask you something.  As much as I tried to undo edits, it was becoming too much, I was just lucky could get some help.  By any chance, could I get some sort of tool to help around the wiki?  Just something that would make undoing edits easier.  Thank you for your time. Evolution Is The Key 8:51 September 20, 2012

I've given you the rollback user right, which should help out in the future; it allows you to revert vandalism with a single click instead of two (though generally, you should only use it for obvious vandalism, since it doesn't allow you to change the edit summary). You can read a bit more at Project:Requests for rollback. 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 07:24, September 20, 2012 (UTC)

It would have to be manual from here, in order to retain the links used in the lore and also quite a few aren't lore changes, they are errors on the lore we have here. They'll also have to create a list of actual erratas, not just errors.

If it were posted on the forum with a suggestion that people take sections (i.e. A-E, F-J, etc) and update/compile that, it's not actually a large task.

Aah, well, your assignments obviously take priority over anything going on here. ;)

For that, the formatting will have to be cleaned up: card names should be linked, the name/lore pairs need to be separated somehow so they aren't just an impenetrable wall of text, changed lores should be marked somehow, headers should be added at appropriate intervals to visually break up the list and simplify navigation, and the whole thing needs split across several, much more sanely sized pages; this all needs to be done before we look at recruiting help. 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 08:11, September 26, 2012 (UTC)

I see, there are allot of words I still don't understand, like "Can't be Regeneration" or "Transformation" without target name. I just now realized that "Entering the Battlefield" was treated as "Summon" in Yu-Gi-Oh! word when I studied "Contagion Clasp", which is just an Artifact (not a Creature). At the first time when I read "Entering the Battlefield", I thought it meant for "enter the Battle Phase" pattern. But thanks to this Artifact, I changed.

Heh, yeah, I've noticed the similarities between YGO and MtG. As for learning it better yourself, I think knowing someone in real life who plays would be better than trying to instruct you over the internet, though there is the issue of finding an MtG player that knows ASL (or finding someone that can translate who is undaunted by the terminology). 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 19:22, September 26, 2012 (UTC)

Have you tried Googling for information at all?

Gotcha, I am aware of that - I just said that it was naturally to using the letter "L" as lowercase when come with full word, like "Steelswarm". It's like a starting letter of the word of the sentence sense - Lswarm!
Like, "Lswarm, run!" don't mean that it's such to be -lswarm or shit. --iFredCat 22:15, September 28, 2012 (UTC)

Well, archetype names are proper nouns, so they don't precisely follow the general capitalization rules for English text. In addition, we follow the capitalization for proper nouns set out in official media, so if an archetype name is consistently rendered in lowercase, we should also do so, even if it appears at the beginning of a sentence. ;) 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 04:39, September 29, 2012 (UTC)

As I've said a number of times elsewhere, {{Navigation2}} and {{Navigation3}} are intended only to be substituted, as a shorthand for {{Navigation}}.

Per its documentation, {{Navigation3}} is equivalent to {{Navigation|mode=otherGame}}, and is used for Bandai, DDM, and VG-only cards; there is no shorthand for mode=token. 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 04:40, September 29, 2012 (UTC)

Right. Like I said before, though, the shorthand templates are supposed to be substituted, so e.g. {{Navigation|mode=otherGame]] should not be replaced with {{Navigation3}} (if you're creating a page, though, using e.g. {{subst:Navigation3}} is fine). ;) 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 02:01, September 30, 2012 (UTC)

I just came across a few redirects which use {{R from card number}} and {{R from set number}}.

All recent redirects don't use them. Is it because it's not necessary any more, or did everyone forget about it.

-Falzar FZ- (talk page|useful stuff) 06:09, October 12, 2012 (UTC)

There's nothing I can do about this, unfortunately; it would require the search to actually be able to *parse* pages, rather than simply matching according to terms that appear (or don't appear) on the page in question. The only thing you can really do is to spend a few seconds manually checking each result; I find that a browser with Ctrl+F search functionality, that highlights the matches on the page, helps a lot with speed.

You mentioned how substrings could be used in semantic searches in an earlier forum. This could be applied here to find all Japanese names containing a particular term. [[Japanese Name::~*巫女*]]. -- Deltaneos (talk) 13:19, October 29, 2012 (UTC)

That does seem to work, doesn't it? I don't think I've ever actually thought of trying that, myself. *sheepish grin* 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 19:41, October 29, 2012 (UTC)

Reconstructed effect candidates

Do you know of a way to get a list of each anime/manga card that's using an "NC" image? Any card with such an image should have the reconstructed effect template added to it. There's also cards with the "thumb over part of the text" problem, but there's obviously no way to track that one. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 01:10, October 30, 2012 (UTC)

Falzar, sometimes I get slightly annoyed that your bot does all the repetitive stuff, since I occasionally enjoy repetitive edits (which is why I moved all the "Heraldic" stuff yesterday, I felt like some repetition). Then I realize it just gives me more time to do other stuff that's actually more enjoyable. So thanks. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 16:53, November 1, 2012 (UTC)

You can tell the other you that there's still the repetitive "thumb over part of the text" search and add task ;) -Falzar FZ- (talk page|useful stuff) 23:02, November 1, 2012 (UTC)

There's also the prospect of looking through all the OCG/TCG cards which have been featured in the anime/manga and checking for the same things, which could keep a crack team of researchers busy for weeks. =D 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 03:54, November 2, 2012 (UTC)

Oh, I know. There's always something to do. My favorite "thumb-over-text" case is "Giant Rex". Appeared in two different animes, four times. We still don't know what it does, because there's a thumb every single time and it never actually used its effect. For the latter point, its mostly a DM issue, really. There were some in the other series, but probably not anywhere near as many in all three as just DM by itself. Never will my "to-do" list get smaller. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 12:12, November 2, 2012 (UTC)

Heraldic

Ok, "Heraldic" is still "Heraldic". Based on "Advanced Heraldry Art", all the "Medallion" cards should be moved to "Heraldry". But some of them will end up sounding very clunky if we don't reverse the words. "Change Heraldry" sounds bad, "Heraldry Change" or "Change of "Heraldry" sounds much better. Do you have an opinion on which of the three styles we should use. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 00:02, November 1, 2012 (UTC)

I thought we normally waited to get a card's official English name before renaming it to use the official English archetype name (to avoid having to rename cards more times than necessary)... Am I wrong?

If I am mistaken, though, I personally like "Heraldry Change" the best. 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 01:11, November 1, 2012 (UTC)

Previously, once one member of an archetype is known, we've renamed all other members accordingly, so as not to have archetype pages appearing to contradict themselves. I don't ever recall a case where we've waited, actually.

I'm usually against any other changes and just do a straight-up word replacement, but doing that in this case just sounds wrong somehow. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 03:01, November 1, 2012 (UTC)

Okay then, I'm not sure where I got that impression. I just seem to recall a discussion somewhere where that was more or less said; I guess I imagined it or something. =D 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 03:05, November 1, 2012 (UTC)

It very well could have happened, but apparently myself and everyone else that renames card articles never saw it. But given how topics get lost in the forums and on talk pages, I could actually see that happening. XD. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 03:09, November 1, 2012 (UTC)

When "Evilswarm" was revealed as the TCG name for the Verz, the majority wanted to wait to rename members so that names wouldn't need to be moved extra times. But then certain people disregarded that and renamed them all anyway. My personal opinion is that if English names will imminently (within a few weeks or so) be revealed, those pages should not be changed, but for those that won't be known for months or more, we make appropriate renames for consistency's sake. --Golden Key (talk • contribs) 19:01, November 1, 2012 (UTC)

That's probably the discussion I was thinking of; thanks for the pointer. 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 19:06, November 1, 2012 (UTC)

Not that I know of offhand; I've commented in that forum discussion with a bit more detail on what I know.

In the meantime, I have to ask why you don't ever seem to take advantage of jQuery in your JS code for the wiki? I first noticed this in your auto-signing code, but didn't bother asking then. 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 19:21, November 10, 2012 (UTC)

Because I'm not familiar with it. -Falzar FZ- (talk page|useful stuff) 23:10, November 10, 2012 (UTC)

Aah, I figured that might've been your reason. While you won't get much in the way of advanced jQuery usage, you can start gleaning some tidbits by looking over some of the other code in Common.js, if you're interested in learning some. =) 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 23:17, November 10, 2012 (UTC)

It was something really obvious after all. "list of" → "list_of". -Falzar FZ- (talk page|useful stuff) 01:47, November 11, 2012 (UTC)

Oh, you were asking why the JS didn't work? I thought it did, and that you were just asking if I knew of any built-in functionality that could fix the links. =/ 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 01:49, November 11, 2012 (UTC)

Hi

Hey Phillip, how's it hanging? Mood fabulous? Life perfect? Got laid yet? (totally rhetorical questions, don't bother answering...)

Ever lost a bookmark? Actually, do you even use bookmarks? Anyway, I accidentally found a long-forgotten bookmark today and it led me all the way back here. Though this time I thought I'd be the one to say hello. Don't take everything I say too seriously, 'kay?

Except for this last part. Fred just informed me that your prestigious group of admins just increased (or is about to, couldn't really figure out) by two members. Which reminded me that you are an admin as well. Listen, I have a favour to ask of you. If I remember correctly, it is among your options to delete pages from this wiki, correct? If that's still the case, I would very much like you to delete any and all of my subpages. Y'know, all those that begin with "User:Monte.../". It's not urgent or anything, you can do it whenever you like. Assuming it's not too much trouble and you can do it. --ΜοｎtΕcｈrísＴο９5 01:01, November 11, 2012 (UTC)

[insert squicky answers here]

I have a ton of bookmarks, and use a fair number of them regularly (though mostly for webcomics, I must confess). I'm sure I've lost some of them over time, and I came ridiculously close to losing all of them a few months back (installed some software that saw fit to install a toolbar in all my browsers, which then proceeded to log my profile out of Google Chrome... which is tied to my Google Accounts profile... which used a randomly-generated, 100-character-long password that inadvertently hadn't been stored anywhere, so I had to reset the password, which required wiping whatever browser data was tied to my Google Accounts account =P ).

Yeah, that's no problem, though I can't help but ask why. ;) 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 01:08, November 11, 2012 (UTC)

Anyway, you can't seriously expect me to read all that stuff you posted so I'm not even going to pretend I did. I'll tell you though, that webcomics bit really touched my feelings. As to your question...that's a story for another night (is it even night there?..) and I'm in a bit of a hurry.

@Falzar FZ Wow, this post just expaned a lot, didn't it? Don't know if we've spoken before Falzar, nice to meet you anyway. Thanks for the assistance. Yes, delete, unless Dinoguy would like to do the honors himself. Oh, and please spare the css. and js. files for Monobook. Thanks again.

The option to follow pages you delete has been a preference for as long as I can remember (as far back as 2007, at least), but Wikia's version of Special:Preferences is decidedly non-vanilla, so its location may be somewhere else in a vanilla installation. ;) 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 03:00, November 11, 2012 (UTC)

I didn't get it well. :| You fixed Rank 1 of ZEXAL by adding "Hide Factbox"? But Rank 2, for example, is also fixed now and doesn't have that. LegendaryAsariUgetsu (talk • contribs) 21:31, November 16, 2012 (UTC)

Nope, I didn't fix anything. The problem actually lay with Property:Ruby Japanese chapter name, which Delt fixed a while after my ineffectual attempt. I never actually touched Rank 1, Delt was also the one to add {{Hide Factbox}} to it. 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 22:33, November 16, 2012 (UTC)

Oh, sorry, didn't notice that. xD So, it wasn't a problem with the typing, right? LegendaryAsariUgetsu (talk • contribs) 23:07, November 16, 2012 (UTC)

Depends on what you mean by "the typing". The problem was with the type of the property in question. ;) 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 23:13, November 16, 2012 (UTC)

By "typing" I meant the typing in the article itself, y'know. Like, when we edit it. But guess I got it now, thanks. ^^ LegendaryAsariUgetsu (talk • contribs) 16:10, November 17, 2012 (UTC)

So, recently there been a problem with <br /> or <br> in the Featured cards section of the episode. I was wondering if this was a bug or a glitch. I notice this problem when I created a Featured cards for episode 218. At first, I ignored, but it continue to create huge blank space. When I look back at previous episode, it start to affect some of the Featured cards. It shouldn't have create a huge blank space, but instead it should be like episode 200 in which there aren't any blank space and everything is in order. I don't understand how this wasn't affect yet, but can you fix this problem? WinterNightmare (talk • contribs) 19:14, November 16, 2012 (UTC)

It seems the parser has been changed to add a <p><br></p> between instances of {{Decklist}}, though it doesn't happen on every instance (it would actually be more general than that, but I don't feel particularly like exploring for the boundary conditions for the insertion). The solution, for now at least, is to remove the br. 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 22:39, November 16, 2012 (UTC)

Ok, I will go through all the episode and remove some of the br. WinterNightmare (talk • contribs) 22:42, November 16, 2012 (UTC)

Actually, I think I figured out what the problem was. The problem is the {{Decklist}} with |monster alone. If the Decklist is with monster, magic or spell, traps, the problem doesn't occur. But if the Decklist just have monster, then the problem occur which will cause huge blank space. WinterNightmare (talk • contribs) 23:07, November 16, 2012 (UTC)

I noticed that on the ep 218 article, though there shouldn't be anything about the coding of {{Decklist}} that causes it. I wonder if it also happens in cases where Decklist only has either Magic/Spells or Traps listed. 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 23:15, November 16, 2012 (UTC)

[6], Decklist that only has either Magic/Spells or Traps listed aren't affect. Just the monster alone is affect. WinterNightmare (talk • contribs) 23:33, November 16, 2012 (UTC)

Just some lines breaks between #if: parsers, which got interpreted as new paragraphs when enough of them were grouped together.

Related; we have suggested before that the template should automatically add some space, so we don't need to separate uses with <br /> tags, but couldn't decide on how to overwrite it for Side Decks, which usually don't have a space between themselves and Main Decks. -- Deltaneos (talk) 12:58, November 17, 2012 (UTC)

Follow to Watch

Was this change spurred by the forking topic? Not sure if you're done with the changes yet, but after clicking "Watch" on the wikia toolbar, it still changes to "Following" rather than "Watching". --Golden Key (talk • contribs) 19:36, November 23, 2012 (UTC)

Yep. Before Sannse mentioned it, I'd never really considered changing it back via the interface messages. =)

I noticed that. I don't think I missed any interface messages (I paged through Special:AllMessages, Ctrl+F'ing for "follow"), so I suspect it's the JS using hardcoded strings, which I don't know how to fix (Falzar might be able to, since he seems to have a better grasp on JS than me, but I dunno if he'll bother with something so ultimately minor). 「ディノ奴千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 19:45, November 23, 2012 (UTC)

Cool. Just wanted to let you know, since you don't use the Wikia look I figured you might not have noticed it. :) --Golden Key (talk • contribs) 19:58, November 23, 2012 (UTC)

You mean change that, no idea. It's the same problem as Forum:Post signing reminder js#Preview_button. -Falzar FZ- (talk page|useful stuff) 08:09, November 24, 2012 (UTC)
