== PNG VG images from JPG ==
Hi and welcome to the ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' wiki! Thank you for your edit to the [[:File:PsychicArmorHead.jpg]] page.
+
Hey Brick. When you download a video game JPG image, convert it to PNG and upload it, replacing the JPG ones, could you add it to [[User:Becasita/SubPages/Notes/Galleries&Images#PNG VG images converted from JPG|this place]], please? [[Special:Diff/3733605|Example]]. Thanks.<br />

One other thing: May I suggest adding a link to your talk page archive?

You've been told this before, but there's no decent reason in removing the links from foreign card lores, even if you can't understand the languages. Just compare the texts side-by-side, by putting a line break beneath the original text and placing the database text underneath, then using Preview. If the lores differ, then sure, feel free to replace the entire text without all the links. But if they're the same, then you're doing nothing more than removing the links, which is bad. --[[User:UltimateKuriboh|UltimateKuriboh]] ([[User talk:UltimateKuriboh|talk]] [[Special:Contributions/UltimateKuriboh|contribs]]) 17:07, March 31, 2017 (UTC)

Hey, can you explain why you [http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Speed_World_2?diff=3775096&oldid=3774836 removed] the WC10 lore from Speed World 2? If it's because it's identical to the WC11 lore, we actually want both lores, since that shows that both games have been checked. <span class="nowrap">「[[User:Dinoguy1000|<span style="color:#00f;">ディノ</span><span style="color:#080;">奴</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Dinoguy1000|<span style="color:#F90;">千?!</span>]]<sup>[[wikipedia:Help:IJP|?]] · [[User talk:Dinoguy1000#top|☎ Dinoguy1000]]</sup></span> 15:05, April 16, 2017 (UTC)

:I feel that multiple VG lores should only be present on a card page if they contain any differences, so that anyone reading the page knows from a look that the lores are different. In this case, listing both the WC10 and WC11 lore felt misleading, so I kept the card's most recent incarnation and removed the older.

== Regarding the naming of Ra's Phoenix form ==
 
Not sure what the others decide to do, but as far as the naming goes, both "Sphere Mode" and "God Phoenix" names are based on the Japanese Kana (so there is no naming structure involved, as far as i can say).
 
 
 
The TCG didn't change the name for "Sphere Mode", so its still possible (even-though only a little) that they might not do so for "God Phoenix" as well. And since it is translated as the name suggest in Katakana (if it would have been Hiragana, then it could be considered a bit), i think it would be better to leave it as it is, unless we get the Official TCG name for it (whether change it now, or later all the same), since its better not to mess up things to much.
 
 
 
But like i said, its all depends on the others who are at higher position than me (by the way, i can rename the page since i am allowed to do so, but won't for now, hope you understand why).--[[User:Supratim1986|Supratim1986]] ([[User talk:Supratim1986|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Supratim1986|contribs]]) 15:33, November 18, 2015 (UTC)

==Factbox==
 
Hello Brick. You don't need to hide the factbox if you see it. You just need to hide it the page appears broken (since it's probably due to the factbox).<br />
 
That means, if you see a page like [{{fullurl:Sylvan Charity|oldid=3310746&useskin=wikia}} this on the Wikia skin], or like [{{fullurl:Sylvan Charity|oldid=3310746&useskin=monobook}} this on the Monobook skin], you should hide it. If a page is being presented normally, even though the factbox is visible, you don't need to hide it.<br />
 
In case you have doubts if you should hide it on a specific page, feel free to ask me or ask an admin or anyone else that knows how this works.

Hey Brick. When creating set card lists or galleries, please make them according to [[User:Dinoguy1000/boilerplate]].

Hey Brick. Please don't remove names/lores if they are unofficial, like you did with the Portuguese lore [{{fullurl:Gladiator Beast Secutor|diff=prev&oldid=3476561}} here].

== Linked lores ==
 
 
 
Hi Brick. I appreciate your additions regarding the card names and lores, I really do. But sometimes the lores there are already correct and have links on them and you just overwrite them. I bet you do it for all the lores you can find on the database, to ensure the article displays the most recent lores. But by doing so, you sometimes erase those linked lores that were already correct; meaning you just remove the links. So I ask you to pay a bit more attention and preserve the links. Of course, if a linked lore is there and the one at the database is completely different, I won't ask you to keep the links, because that would be annoying and would take lots of time and I know that's not your aim. But in cases where the linked lore we have is similar to the one at the database (or if a comma is missing or something that small), I would like you to be careful and don't overwrite that one. You can make a comparison by clicking on "Show changes", right next to the "Publish" button.<br />
 
Also, I've see you adding "Viatnemese" to {{t|Unofficial name}}; the correct spelling is "Vietnamese". You can check if your spelling is correct by, when previewing the page, scrolling to the bottom and check if there isn't a category named [[:Category:Card pages with a nonstandard unofficial name|Card pages with a nonstandard unofficial name]].

:::You see, in a very large and embracing point of view, you are removing info from pages. That could be a problem; especially when you remove links that are not present on the English lore. Which means, you are decreasing the navigation level of the page. It's like going to a tips page and remove some links just because, ultimately.
 
:::Not to mention that some people had the work to link the instances, of course.
 
:::I know it can be a harsh work, the one you are doing; and it's easier to just overwrite everything, I know. I've added several names/lores to pages, so I know that. If you want I can give you some regex to cut the links out of the lores already there; then you just have to compare them to the ones you are going to add and see if they are equal. (If they aren't equal (which also means almost identical), you don't have to bother with the links. I'm just talking about cases where there are zero changes to the lore; which means you simply removed the links.)
 
:::In any case, there's a button entitled "Show changes". If you click on it, you'll see the changes you made to the code; this can help you see if you're just removing the links, without updating the lore. <span class="nowrap">[[User:Becasita|Becasita]] <sup><small>Pendulum</small></sup></span> <span class="nowrap">([[User talk:Becasita|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Becasita|contribs]])</span> 23:47, October 17, 2016 (UTC)
 
 
 
::::You say you had "''never made an edit just to remove them''". Take a look at [{{fullurl:Kiwi Magician Girl|diff=3440592}} this edit]; you just removed the links, that was the only thing you did. And those links aren't even on the English lore.
 
::::And even if you add a lore that wasn't there yet, sometimes, besides that, you remove the links of the lores '''without''' updating them, because they were already updated. That's what I am asking here. I am not asking for you to keep the links if they are there on an outdated lore. If a lore has links but is outdated and you just overwrite it with the most recent one, that's fine, I don't mind. Now, if the lore has links and '''is''' updated, don't remove the links; because, in that case, the '''only''' change you made to the lore was to remove the links; you did nothing more (just like the example I presented above).
 
::::Take [{{fullurl:Blue Rose Dragon|diff=3546235}} this example]. You did zero changes to the Spanish lore. The only thing you did was to remove the links. You also removed the links from the Italian lore, but I am fine with that, because the lore was outdated. <span class="nowrap">[[User:Becasita|Becasita]] <sup><small>Pendulum</small></sup></span> <span class="nowrap">([[User talk:Becasita|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Becasita|contribs]])</span> 13:00, October 18, 2016 (UTC)

What was the reason for [http://yugioh.wikia.com/index.php?title=Hot_Red_Dragon_Archfiend_Bane&diff=3411364&oldid=3399898 your edit here]? If you haven't already known by now, Viz's YGO translations are very shoddy, and shouldn't be taken as the literal translations. --[[User:UltimateKuriboh|UltimateKuriboh]] ([[User talk:UltimateKuriboh|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/UltimateKuriboh|contribs]]) 18:18, October 4, 2016 (UTC)
 
:Sorry, but the confusion in your reply has forced me to reply =/. I'm not referring to the specific card's translation, I'm referring to Viz's translations as a whole for the YGO manga. They have stated (though not publicly) that their translations for the manga have been handed off to a separate entity, and the quality can be seen throughout the inconsistency of their translated manga card names.
 
:I understand your reasoning, and I wish you had stated it as such in your edit summary for that edit. In general, it's just a good idea to use the "edit summary" for edits like that, which I know you've been using recently. No hard feelings please, from either of us. --[[User:UltimateKuriboh|UltimateKuriboh]] ([[User talk:UltimateKuriboh|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/UltimateKuriboh|contribs]]) 20:36, October 4, 2016 (UTC)

You've been told this before, but there's no decent reason in removing the links from foreign card lores, even if you can't understand the languages. Just compare the texts side-by-side, by putting a line break beneath the original text and placing the database text underneath, then using Preview. If the lores differ, then sure, feel free to replace the entire text without all the links. But if they're the same, then you're doing nothing more than removing the links, which is bad. --UltimateKuriboh (talkcontribs) 17:07, March 31, 2017 (UTC)

Speed World 2 WC10 lore[edit]

Hey, can you explain why you removed the WC10 lore from Speed World 2? If it's because it's identical to the WC11 lore, we actually want both lores, since that shows that both games have been checked. ディノ千?!? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 15:05, April 16, 2017 (UTC)

I feel that multiple VG lores should only be present on a card page if they contain any differences, so that anyone reading the page knows from a look that the lores are different. In this case, listing both the WC10 and WC11 lore felt misleading, so I kept the card's most recent incarnation and removed the older.
Though, thinking of it now, perhaps I should have kept the older and removed the most recent, to show that the lore never changed between games.
In any case, these are my reasons, but I won't protest if you wish to replace the removed lore.

I do actually agree with you, but in the case of cards using {{CardTable2}}, they need the parameters to show the card appeared in the video game in question. Though that requirement could potentially be relaxed for the World Championship games, if it turns out that they fully share their card lists (i.e. cards were only added from one game to the next, and never removed); for example, this is the case for the first four Duel Monsters games. ディノ千?!? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 16:44, April 16, 2017 (UTC)

RE: Set lists[edit]

Hey there, Brick. You can create them, but not with {{Set list}}. You'd have to create them the other way, with the boilerplate. {{Set list}} is still too heavy and I doubt I'll be able to make it cheaper for now. Becasita Pendulum (talkcontribs) 15:32, May 8, 2017 (UTC)

You don't need to revert back to the boilerplate, since the other are fine. Unless you plan on, then, reverting all pages using {{Set list}} to the boilerplate. Becasita Pendulum (talkcontribs) 18:50, May 8, 2017 (UTC)

Licensing[edit]

Hi Brick, I was just looking at your image uploads. Are you aware that you can add the licensing during the initial upload, rather than then having to go and edit the page after the image has been uploaded? Just type it into the "Summary" box on the upload page. --Golden Key (talkcontribs) 19:41, May 9, 2017 (UTC)

Sorry that I didn't catch on sooner that you hadn't realized. You're welcome. :) --Golden Key (talkcontribs) 19:52, May 9, 2017 (UTC)
