I really don't want to start any fights or anything, but why did you undo my edit for the ''OCG's'' [[September 2012 Lists (OCG)|September 2012 Lists]]?  I thought that, with the exception of the Japanese text I removed, would make it more presentable. --'''[[User:Psychid45|<font color="lime">Yes, it's PSYCHID!</font>]]<sup> [[User talk:Psychid45|<font color="skyblue">He talks!</font>]] [[Special:Contributions/Psychid45|<font color="red">He does stuff!</font>]]</sup>''' 02:02, October 3, 2015 (UTC)

:Bolding the changed cards is completely redundant to the "Changes" section. The practice of bolding is nothing more than a holdover from other websites that did the same thing without providing a concise summary of which cards were changed and how, as we do now.
:The header level I'm a bit less certain about; while I currently lean towards the extra level being unnecessary, I don't feel particularly strongly about it and could be swayed in the other direction.
:Also, to expand on the topic of Japanese names/text and the lists while I have your attention, it's not necessary to have Japanese card names on the TCG-only lists, since by their very nature they don't/didn't apply in Japan. I haven't gone through the lists systematically to remove them all yet, but I think I've done one or two; if you start working on the TCG lists some time down the line, though, feel free to remove them as you go. =) <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> 04:53, October 3, 2015 (UTC)

::While your reason may make sense, I kind of like doing these lists the way I usually do them (though most recently, I've removed the Japanese text from the headers on both the OCG and TCG-exclusive Lists), mostly because bolding the changes would be easier to notice.  Frankly, I blame myself; old habits are hard to break.

:::::Can you give any good arguments for keeping the bolding? As I said originally, it's redundant to the "Changes" table, which unambiguously shows which cards changed status and provides more detail. In addition, it's completely unnecessary for the "Unlimited" section, since we only list cards that were changed to Unlimited and therefore all of the cards listed there have changed status; if, because of this, we stopped bolding the cards listed there, but continued bolding them under the other headers, that would be inconsistent and potentially confusing. <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> 05:59, October 5, 2015 (UTC)

I think you're talking about '''Template:Sacred''', which was deleted a couple years ago (by me, though I'd forgotten I did that). All it was was a list of monster groups without any clear connection, just a vague sense of "these are really powerful". If you need the list for some reason, I can provide it to you, but the template won't be getting restored without some very good reasons. <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> 06:48, October 10, 2015 (UTC)

== Portable infoboxes ==
Heya :) I see you worked with [[User:DaNASCAT|DaNASCAT]] back in late July to try to work out a way to use portable infobox code here at Yu-Gi-Oh! Since development stopped soon after the last comment at [[Forum:Portable Infoboxes]], I was just wondering if there were any problems that you couldn't figure out.  We've made a lot of changes to the portable infobox code since the summer, so it may well be that you'll find making a second run at '''Template:Infobox/Draft''' will be easier than you remember.  

I'll just point out, as well, that the time you stopped working on portable infoboxes was the high-water mark for mobile uniques here. On 1 August you had nearly a million uniques on mobile devices.  That number is now about ~750k — a pretty big slide of around 25%.  We think a part of this decrease can be attributed to pages that start with infoboxes that aren't really adequate to the mobile experience. People whose first browse of YGO reveals a somewhat unattractive infobox at the top of a page may well not be inclined to continue looking at the wiki.  

Happily, we're in a really good period of development with infoboxes! We have established robust lines of communication with our core engineers. If we hit roadblocks, we'll therefore be able to get quick answers from the people who are actually developing our backend code!

So please don't hesitate to ask any questions at all! I think we'll be able to make some real progress with genuine speed. — [[User talk:CzechOut|CzechOut]] 17:29, October 20, 2015 (UTC)

:I have to be honest, I more-or-less ran out of steam after the last comment in that forum thread, when I stopped receiving feedback and realized I would be working on the port basically on my own (not that I'm blaming Tim for that or anything; I don't do anything compared to how much he does =D ). At the time, I had three major concerns with PI: proper support for inline styles and classes on individual parts of infoboxes, an ability to work with PI via Lua, and an ability to emulate the child navbox behavior from our current {{t|Infobox}} using PI (which sufficiently robust interaction with Lua would allow to be addressed). As I mentioned in the forum thread several times, what I really want to be able to achieve with PI is to only do one conversion ever - Infobox itself - and then just continue to work on converting our individual infoboxes to using Infobox as a metatemplate. I do not, for example, have any desire to try to switch {{t|Infobox character}} from using Infobox as a metatemplate to directly using PI; it would be far simpler to allow it to continue using Infobox, and just convert Infobox directly, so that Infobox character automatically gets converted with minimal or no changes required to it (I believe this simplifies everything in the long run: because all the logic on whether and when to show a particular cell happens in Infobox character, and Infobox just displays whatever it's given for a particular cell, it means the meat of the processing can happen in Infobox character and whatever values fall out of that get handed straight back to Infobox, which plunks them right into the PI markup, and no one has to worry about how the various parser functions interact with the PI markup, since they've all already resolved; in addition, any such solution we develop here should be broadly applicable across much of the rest of Wikia (with or without some further simplification to remove features that only we and a scant few other wikis use), greatly simplifying infobox development efforts in the long run).
:One thing I would like to see is the HTML tags that PI uses added to the parser's whitelist (looking at '''Help:Infoboxes/Tags''', I think the necessary tags would just be <code>aside</code>, <code>figure</code>, <code>figcaption</code>, <code>caption</code> (which appears to be whitelisted but seems to currently just be silently stripped by the parser outside of tables) and <code>nav</code>) - there's a [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T25932 Phabricator ticket] for them and a number of other HTML5 tags to be added to the whitelist in vanilla MediaWiki, with the blocker being IE≤8 support, but I'm not sure how much of a concern that is for Wikia, especially given PI is using the tags. This would allow for work on PI-compatible templates and modules without being limited to whatever the PI markup actually plays nice with (though, because the HTML would be hardcoded, it would mean that future changes to the HTML underlying PI's markup would have to be manually applied, so that wouldn't be a general solution for most wikis).
:While I won't argue that our infoboxes are contributing to the drop in mobile traffic, they're definitely not the whole picture, as you hinted at yourself. I suspect that a bigger reason for the drop is our current implementation of {{t|CardTable2}}, which is just a single huge table. It's due to be replaced eventually by the {{t|Card table}} system, but there's a huge amount of work that has to be done before we're at that point and it's going to take a long time to get there. In the meantime, I've toyed with the idea of changing CT2 to instead use divs for everything but the actual data part, but haven't tried switching it yet because I'm a bit leery of the CSS work it would require. But I'd be willing to bet that even that small of a change now would help to recapture some of the lost mobile traffic over the long term (not to mention it should also slightly reduce the amount of markup CT2 generates).
:I'm quite certain I managed to talk a lot here without actually giving many satisfactory answers, though, so please ask me to clarify or explain anything you might need. =) <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> 08:31, October 21, 2015 (UTC)

::Hey man! I just wanted to touch bases and let you know that you have not been forgotten.  I was just working on your ticket today.  Unfortunately, our guys in Poland got hella busy back in late October, and they just ran out of time before they could help you out.  While I and some other people can help you build infoboxes, I'm particularly intrigued by your question about adding to the parser's whitelist.  This seems an important observation to me, and something we definitely want to get an answer from Engineering about, since it is not within my personal power to actually make such a change. 

::So that question has been pushed again to them. I'm hoping for an answer soon on that.  Their next window of availability comes somewhere after about the 7th of December, so hopefully we'll get an answer on that front before Christmas. But understand that we've never done this kind of direct outreach of engineers to communities before, so it's possible that our reach might exceed our grasp, just as it did in October. If so, '''don't hesitate to reach out to me and ask me what the hell is going on'''. :)  See, the problem is that you and other power users like you are so damned smart that we end up spending so much time with each community that our schedule gets absolutely destroyed! 

::On other matters in your above post, if you had some '''specific questions''' about Lua/PI interaction, I could pass them on to our engineering staff.  In the meantime, I encourage you to visit {{wikia|portability||wikia:c:portability}}, if you haven't already. There, in the forums, you'll find a group of power users like yourself debating matters of Lua/PI interaction. They've found some ''highly'' intriguing solutions that might well interest you.

::Finally, on the issue of a meta-template like {{tl|infobox}}, I'm going to propose something that might not immediately strike you as sensible.  Because PI coding is comparatively simple, there is no real need for the <nowiki>{{#switch}}-ed</nowiki> out meta template anymore.  The faster route to success is really the opposite of what you'd do with traditional infobox coding.  We actively recommend that you just break up your meta template into separate, specific templates.  It's genuinely faster, easier and lighter on page load times. — [[User talk:CzechOut|CzechOut]] 02:36, November 19, 2015 (UTC)

:::If you'd like my opinion on the topic of whitelisted HTML, I think it's probably best for new features to try to stick with what's already on the whitelist, and if a new feature really needs to use a non-whitelisted tag for whatever reason, to take a good look at whether there's any reason to not just whitelist that tag as well. I understand it's out of your say, but you should at least be able to float the idea around a bit. =)

:::Seeing you say that got me curious, and I checked whether we're contacts on Skype. Turns out, not only are we, but we've discussed infoboxes a bit in the past! If I'm remembering the context correctly from the CC Skype group, I'd been bemoaning the lack of a Wikia-supported metatemplate, instead requiring everyone to work with raw wikitables; you then messaged me to encourage me to develop one and write a blog post about it. =)

:::I was aware of the portability wiki, but haven't been keeping up with the discussions there; I'll have to take a look at them and see what's been going on.

:::That's actually kind of what our {{t|Infobox}} already does: each of the rows uses {{t|Infobox/row}} for the actual rendering, which vastly cuts down the amount of code required in Infobox itself (especially given there's 80 rows supported). I'm also no stranger to the idea of using a modular metatemplate system; our older infoboxes use a system developed by [[User:Dantman|Dantman]] back in 2007 or 2008 (I'm not sure of the exact dates since IIRC the system was developed on another wiki that no longer exists, and was ported to a number of different anime/manga wikis as part of a long-defunct collaboration that said wiki served as the hub for), and when I was active on Wikipedia, I helped to maintain and develop new features for the [[wikipedia:Template:Infobox animanga|animanga infobox]], which is also modular (though not a metatemplate). <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> 18:51, November 22, 2015 (UTC)
::::Heya :) I sent your whitelisting opinions skyward on Monday, and they're being discussed internally.  Obviously US Thanksgiving is getting somewhat in the way of full discussion this week, but hopefully I'll have something to report back next week.

::::On the matter of having something like a central {{t|infobox}} that then #switch-es its way into more specific infoboxes, or even specific instances that leverage the power of meta infoboxes (however people wanna play that), you're absolutely right to remember discussions we had earlier in the decade about that.  Indeed, I think such things make a lot of sense — for the ''old'' way of doing infoboxes.

::::However, in the current PI system, it's massively easier to steer clear of all that.  The major strategy of the old school wikitext meta-infobox was to basically make it so all of one's code complexity was within a single infobox, like {{t|infobox}}.  The specific infoboxes could then be super simple, because all they had to do was call {{t|infobox}}.  

::::Since PIs have #if structures inherent, as well as a number of other automatic features, it's less work to ignore {{t|infobox}} and just build new infoboxes. After completing a couple of PIs, one finds that the exercise becomes no more difficult than just cutting and pasting one's successfully rebuilt PIs.  And let's face it, that's pretty much all one was doing in the meta infobox era, anyway.  One grabbed the code of the, say, '''character''' infobox and plopped it onto the '''location''' infobox, and then one changed the variables as necessary.

::::I'm not speaking theoretically here. I've been working on the Fallout Wiki a lot this past week, and that's exactly what I've done.  Cutting {{t|infobox}} out of the action hasn't been painful or controversial, really. And I find that the code is generally pretty easy to read — certainly less dense than what you'd find in something like {{t|infobox}}.  

::::Moreover, our engineering department is, at the moment, very easily swayed by the opinions of early adopters.  So when you find something that doesn't work, sending in a '''Special:Contact''' — or talking to me and having me ticket it directly — actually does produce results.  The answer is sometimes "no", of course, but we're ''actively'' '''soliciting and answering''' feedback in a way that I've never seen in all the time I've been using the Wikia platform. And that goes all the way back to the beginning, really.

::::So, all of this is to say that, while I was a strong proponent of the meta infobox solution a few years ago, I pretty much see it as unnecessary today.  Speaking as an admin, and not as staff, I'd find it particularly objectionable to continue with a system whose history was as murky as the one your older templates currently use.  Switching to PI code means that you'll know the exact origins of the code, and you'll be able to provide maintenance delivered with full knowledge of the history of the code. 

::::Just stuff to chew on.  Get it? Thanksgiving. Chewing.  Ugh.  Finding puns around Thanksgiving is easy.  Finding ''good'' ones is as difficult as finding live turkeys.  — [[User talk:CzechOut|CzechOut]] 15:41, November 25, 2015 (UTC)

:::::Oh! Almost forgot.  I just wanted to get some clarity on {{t|card table}} situation. I read your earlier statements as effectively saying that development on PIs was impossible without resolving the transition to {{t|card table}}. Was I right to have done so?  Or could we possibly divorce the two things?  That is, could we switch to PIs, leaving the {{tl|card table}} component out of them until it can get resolved.  And could you please better define the work that's necessary to make the transition? — [[User talk:CzechOut|CzechOut]] 15:51, November 25, 2015 (UTC)

:::::While simplifying markup is one reason for using templates, they are used to centralise code. If an update, such as now, is necessary, is it not just as well to only have to change one thing?
:::::Regarding metatemplates' parsers taking a toll on load times, {{t|infobox}} uses <code>#switch:</code> zero times, but does use <code>#if:</code> a lot. Although, wouldn't it use considerably less, if switched to using portable infobox markup? -- [[User:Deltaneos|Deltaneos]] ([[User talk:Deltaneos|talk]]) 21:58, November 25, 2015 (UTC)

:::::I think this is something we're going to just have to disagree on; I simply can't imagine a scenario where things are made ''easier'' by not using a metatemplate where one was previously used (that is not to say there aren't other reasons not to use metatemplates in specific cases, but it's a case-by-case thing and, in my experience, ease of editing never works out to be in favor of such a switch). This is not necessarily a deal-breaker for me, and the rest of the community may in fact disagree with me on its importance, but as things stand now I don't see PI having enough benefit to outweigh the downside of loss of a metatemplate.
:::::I also disagree with your comparison of reading PI infoboxes with reading {{t|Infobox}}; that is comparing article-editor-facing templates with a template-editor-facing template, and is not at all a fair comparison to make. {{t|Infobox}} by its nature is not meant to be edited regularly, since it has been rigorously tested via Wikipedia (meaning having to fix bugs should be a rare to nonexistent occurrence), is thoroughly documented (meaning editors should rarely if ever have to actually read its code to find out how to do something or why the template is or isn't doing what they want), and has a robust feature set that can support the vast majority of infobox requirements (meaning edits to add needed features should be rare); this is borne out by its [{{fullurl:Template:Infobox|action=history}} edit history] here, which consists of updating the template from Wikipedia's copy and fixing a single bug that doesn't occur on WP because of their use of HTML Tidy. By comparison, individual infoboxes are far more likely to be edited by people who are far less familiar with the obscure intricacies of wikimarkup, for any of the three reasons I outlined already, and when that happens they shouldn't have to worry about navigating through the code responsible for displaying the infobox itself in order to understand the code that handles the information the infobox is menat to display.
:::::I may have confused you with my mention of our older infoboxes, and for that I apologize; I was not trying to suggest we are wanting to continue using them indefinitely, and in fact we have been working (gradually) on replacing them with {{t|infobox}}-based templates for some time now. I am right there with you in having little desire to use a system with a hazy history, especially when we have an alternate system which is pretty clearly superior.
:::::Same for my comments on {{t|Card table}}: I'm definitely ''not'' suggesting that we can't do anything with PI until we get that sorted. PI and the card tables are entirely separate from each other, in fact, and it would be inappropriate to try and use PI for them, unless we wanted to completely restructure how our card pages work to begin with (and maybe we will at some point in the future, but I don't think anyone wants to do something that drastic at this point). What I was saying is that our card articles, most of which currently use {{t|CardTable2}}, undoubtedly account for a significant portion of our traffic, both on desktop and mobile, and that therefore improving that situation might have a better immediate return on investment than our infoboxes. However, updating that is somewhat slow going because we're not just updating existing templates, but writing entirely new ones and splitting pages as we go, and the final updating of CardTable2 to a {{t|card table}}-based replacement will be one of the final steps of the whole thing. I do have some ideas for further improvements to the new system, which among other things should make it more mobile-friendly, I just haven't taken the time to prototype them (but among them are a replacement for the current Tabber system which would allow mobile devices to only download one tab's worth of content (but which would require some custom JS to actually function, which is what's been putting me off of actually trying it out), and some ruminations on using a definition list instead of a table for the information shown alongside the image). <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> 00:59, November 30, 2015 (UTC)

== Removal of Anime Lore ==
I have a question Dinoguy1000. Why exactly do you remove the anime lore of each card under your Dinobot1000 account?

It should be noted, that the anime effects are interresting trivia as well as giving
insight, why the cards in question needed to be nerfed in question for the OCG/TCG.

As such the anime lore should be moved to either a different section or to their own pages.

Also, there are players, which make use of the anime lore for DevPRO/YGOPRO and DuelNetwork for their own duels. 
Thus their existence is also a boon for players, which can experience what the anime originals feel like.

==Set Card Galleries/Lists Headers==
Hi! I have a question: How should the headers/titles be presented?<br />
Should they be:<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 120%;">'''''Set name in region language with hyperlink'''''</span><br />Region language (- Edition, in case of galleries)</div>
<br />
Or:
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 120%;">'''''Set name in English with hyperlink'''''<br />''Set name in region language without hyperlink''</span><br />Region language (- Edition, in case of galleries)</div>
<br />
I've seen both being used. I'm aware your [[User:Dinoguy1000/boilerplate|Templates]] use the latter, but I've seen other users (including myself) updating old galleries/lists using the former, so I'm a bit confused with the one that should be used, because I don't like some pages using one and other using the other.<br />
So, which one is preferred and should be used? Personally, I like the second one the most. It may have one more line, but the Wiki is majority in English. The names of the cards are in English and then, below it, have the name in their own language, so I think the second option makes more sense. It's more in agreement with the rest of the Wiki. It also prevents people from clicking on a link they can't be ''exactly'' sure what it means. Though maybe the font for the second line could be a bit smaller than 120%.<br />
Here are two examples, respectively: [[Set Card Galleries:Astral Pack Six (TCG-FR-UE)|Astral Pack Six French Gallery]]; [[Set Card Galleries:Astral Pack Seven (TCG-FR-UE)|Astral Pack Seven French Gallery]].<br />
Hope I made myself clear; English is not my first language. Thank you for your time! [[User:Becasita|Pendulum]] ([[User talk:Becasita|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Becasita|contribs]]) 12:39, January 22, 2016 (UTC)

:The second version (the one the boilerplate uses) is the one that's supposed to be used. The boilerplate represents the current preferred version, and when a template is eventually created to automatically format set galleries/lists (something I should really take care of already), it will be based on the boilerplate.
:Good point on the font size of the localized name; would having it be the same size as the third line be acceptable, or did you have a different size in mind?
:Don't worry, you're perfectly understandable. =) Out of curiosity, what is your native language, though? <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> 20:47, January 22, 2016 (UTC)

::Ok, I'll update everything I see to that version, when I have the time, then.
::I tried at 110%, but it was still too big, I'd say. The same size as the third line seems fine. But maybe in bold too, because the italics makes it seem too thin, I think. Well, it would be interesting to see other people's opinions too.
::My native language is Portuguese.

:::Okay, I'll reduce the text size to 100%.
:::I'm a little bit worried about bolding Japanese, Korean, and Chinese names, but maybe that's just me. They don't (or at least shouldn't) get italicized, so that helps some, at least. Guess I'll just go with it and we'll see how it turns out.
:::Cool, we definitely need more Portuguese editors. =) If you aren't already, is there any chance you could work some on checking/adding Portuguese card names and lores? Since Konami's card database doesn't list Portuguese releases (hopefully it will eventually), we don't really have any source for them other than card images, and it's a lot slower for someone who doesn't speak/read Portuguese to copy them than for someone who does.

This isn't really a priority but it's something that has been something that has been bugging me for some years

The coding for Japanese and Chinese fonts isn't good, the fonts looks pixely and jarred, and pmingliu (the chinese font) doesn't blend well with the design of the wiki because it's a serif font. I believe that they would look a lot better if this was added to MediaWiki:Wikia.css

:I've made the change as you requested. I don't have most (possibly any) of the specific fonts installed on my machine, but have to say, even just the sans-serif fallback looks better than the old fonts did. Is there a source you pulled these font stacks from, and do you have any similar recommendations for Korean text as well? <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> 21:50, February 4, 2016 (UTC)

::These fonts are all system fonts that should work on new and old versions of Windows and OSX.

For Japanese i pretty much copied the font-family tag from [http://jisho.org/ jisho's] css. Sadly I don't know much about Korean system fonts except for Malgun Gothic.

==Several Stuff==
Hey, Dinoguy. Me again to bother you with several stuff. When it's something more technical I'll come either to you or Deltaneos, probably. And instead of being boring you every once in a while, this time I assembled some stuff to throw at you at once, so here it is:

* As you can see [[Set Card Lists:Clash of Rebellions (TCG-FR)|here]], Deskbot 005 French name won't display. I haven't been able to understand why yet. Something similar applies [[Set Card Lists:Clash of Rebellions (OCG-JP)|here]] for the Empowered Japanese names. However, their names appear [[List of Pendulum Monsters|here]]. They also appear on that table several times.<br />I copied part of the tables to [[User:Becasita/Sandbox/1|here]], to facilitate visually. It's probably just something dumb that I'm not being able to see;

* If a booster pack has a Super Edition, for some reason, it won't be displayed. For example, "[[The New Challengers]]" booster has a Super Edition. If you click ''Edit'', you'll see it has "| super_edition   = true", but nothing will be displayed in the page;

* Another thing is I created [[List of "Aether" cards, List of "Aether" cards|this]]. Something is wrong with the link name on the [[Aether]] page. And I found the page for Aether members already [[List of "Aether" cards|existed]].

* Last but not least, I expanded your Set List template into 300 entries (because I needed to use it with more than 200 entries) and provided it [[User:Becasita/SubPages/Utilities|here]]. Do you have any objection on this? Do you want me to give credit in a different way? I shouldn't use it? Is it too much text to provide on a page? Am I providing it wrong? It's not necessary to provide this? If something is wrong/not in the best way, I would appreciate you to tell me. Thanks.

And thanks for your time. [[User:Becasita|Pendulum]] ([[User talk:Becasita|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Becasita|contribs]]) 12:51, February 5, 2016 (UTC)

:Oh, and there's [[Set Card Galleries:Duel Disk - Promos Series 2 (OCG-JP)|this]]. It doesn't seem very correct. [[User:Becasita|Pendulum]] ([[User talk:Becasita|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Becasita|contribs]]) 14:48, February 5, 2016 (UTC)

::You don't have to worry about only dropping stuff on me when you've got several things; if you notice something, go ahead and let me know. =)
::The problem with Deskbot 005 is that for some reason, the French name isn't being stored by [[smw:|Semantic MediaWiki]] (SMW) - see [[Special:Browse/Deskbot 005]], where you'll notice there is no "French name" entry. I'm not sure what's going on here, and null-editing doesn't fix it (and it's not an invisible control character causing this, either, since I tried retyping the name, which didn't produce any changes).
::The Empowered monsters are also acting like that because of SMW, though not for the same reason. The difference between the set list and the Pendulum Monster list is because the contents of the set list are manually listed, while the Pendulum Monster list uses something called a query, which automatically finds and lists all the pages that meet a certain criterium (in this case, all pages for Pendulum Monsters). There's a way to fix this, but I can't remember for sure how.
::I can assure you there's no shame in not being able to see the problem here. =) SMW tends to act up in several non-obvious ways that have the end result of information not displaying, or being displayed multiple times; we've had these problems with some pages for months now, if not longer.
::Super Editions not displaying would be because the infobox doesn't have a <code>super_edition</code> parameter, since there're so few of them right now. For now, you can instead use the <code>special_edition</code> parameter, with the full name of the Super Edition's page (e.g. <code>| special_edition = The New Challengers: Super Edition</code>). If the page already has a Special Edition, you should instead use the <code>other_sets</code> parameter.
::That's another SMW cache issue, though it usually happens after renaming a page. I've fixed it by deleting and recreating List of "Aether" cards.
::That's fine, if you need it then don't be afraid to create/use it. =)
::I don't see anything wrong there, myself; it looks like a redirect accounting for a punctuation difference. Am I missing something? <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> 15:13, February 5, 2016 (UTC)

:::Yeah, the [[Aether]] page is working now.
:::I'll search for those boosters that have "Super Edition" and correct it.
:::The thing with the redirect is that the first link for the Japanese gallery at [[Duel Disk Promos: Series 2|this page]] was using that redirect. That's what I meant with doesn't seeming correct. But I gave it a "[https://yugipedia.com/index.php?title=Academy_Duel_Disk_(set)&diff=165955&oldid=165949 fix]", so I think that redirect can be deleted, no?

::::Aah, you meant the redirect itself didn't seem right. We do try to avoid redirects in the "extra info" namespaces (Set Card Galleries/Lists and the various Card namespaces), but really, the redirects don't hurt anything and there is no particular rush to get them deleted.

==Infobox Set==
Hi again! I think there's something not quite correct on the [[Template:Infobox set]]. When it displays the Spanish prefix for the set, it displays it as "ABBR-ES (sp)" instead of "ABBR-SP (es)" ([[DUEA|example]]). Though I'm not sure what should be really displayed inside the "()". [[User:Becasita|Pendulum]] ([[User talk:Becasita|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Becasita|contribs]]) 00:13, February 10, 2016 (UTC)

:Oh, good catch! I've fixed it; it was originally correct but I accidentally changed it when I rewrote the code that handles set prefixes in {{t|Infobox set}}.
:The question of what should be displayed in the parentheses isn't an easy one, and depends on whether they should indicate language, region, or some combination. When I rewrote the code, I chose to change it to region, since the tooltips displayed when you hover over them are the full region name (more or less), but there are arguments for languages instead, or for a combination. <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> 04:21, February 10, 2016 (UTC)

::Thanks for fixing it!
::Hum, that seems a tough decision, indeed. But shouldn't it be the same as the "Yugioh-Card database ID" section of the infobox? Because that part uses ''ja'' and ''es'' instead of ''jp'' and ''sp''. Or is it supposed to be like that because of the region vs. language thing? I really don't know. And, in the case of [[DUEA]], shouldn't a prefix for "Japanese-Asian" ("DUEA-JA") be displayed as well? Or should it be added manually, since it's a very particular case? [[User:Becasita|Pendulum]] ([[User talk:Becasita|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Becasita|contribs]]) 11:37, February 10, 2016 (UTC)

:::The region vs. language distinction has caused a lot of trouble over the years, in no small part because no one really recognized it as problematic for quite some time. I've recently been working on separating their handling in templates, but it's slow going because of how embedded it is across the wiki (for example, all the parameters in {{t|Infobox set}} currently use language abbreviations in their names, with alternate abbreviations or extra tags for disambiguation; updating this will require editing several hundred set articles). Ideally, regions would be limited to release-related stuff (mostly release dates themselves and set prefixes/card numbers), and languages would be used for names, lores, etc., but the database adds to the confusion itself, at least a bit.
:::The JA-JP thing is a demonstration of this problem: until DUEA-JA was released, all Japanese releases used JP, and because the language code for Japanese is "ja", the two were used somewhat interchangeably for parameter names and the like, with a bias towards the language code (as can be seen in the parameter names for {{tlf|Infobox set}}, for example, which all use "ja"). After its release, though, no one bothered to add support for it in {{tlf|Infobox set}} (and doing so would have been quite difficult because of the JP-JA ambiguity), and it kind of got forgotten about, at least by me. In my rewrite, I made a start at finally adding support (you can use <code>jp_set_prefix</code> to specify the JP prefix, and <code>ja_set_prefix</code> for the JA prefix), but I haven't touched the reldate code yet, and finalizing support will also require an update run through all set pages, to switch JP releases to "jp"-prefixed parameters. <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> 17:54, February 10, 2016 (UTC)

::::Hum, yeah, updating hundreds of articles would be really hard. At least manually. Couldn't a bot do the job, for example? And if the DataBase doesn't help... What would be the most correct criteria, then?
::::And there's something that confuses me, I believe it's because of that. I use "ko" and "es" for card names, but for the card table and the galleries' headers, "kr" and "sp" are used. It's because of that, right? Some should be applied in some situations and the others on other situations, right? Is there any place I can read more about that (like some manual, or something)? And what about the "ja" vs. "jp" (not the capital letter one)? "jp" is used in the galleries' headers for Japanese cards and "ja" for the card names. But what about the <nowiki>{{Card table}}</nowiki>? It shall be "jp", right? But for the Japanese-Asian card table should be "ja", right? Or am I mistaken? This gets a bit confusing since "ja" applies for both Japanese and Japanese-Asian in the <nowiki>{{Card name}}</nowiki> template. [[User:Becasita|Pendulum]] ([[User talk:Becasita|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Becasita|contribs]]) 19:56, February 10, 2016 (UTC)

:::::I have [[User:Dinobot1000|a bot]] I've used for stuff like this in the past, but I haven't been able to get the program I use for it to start recently, so I haven't been able to do any bot runs. There're a few other bot accounts floating around, but I think they all belong to retired or inactive editors.
:::::The database doesn't really change how we handle our own stuff, it's just an annoyance that we have to treat as its own thing.
:::::Card names (and lores) ''should'' always use e.g. "ja", "ko", etc. These codes are actually taken from a standard, [[wikipedia:ISO 639|ISO 639]], which defines standard codes for basically every language. So, anywhere you handle card names/lores (and assuming the template parameters you're using have the correct names to allow it), you should be using these codes, not the codes used in card numbers; in the case of parameter ''values'', the codes should always be used (if you manage to come across a template that doesn't support the correct values, point me to it and I'll fix it). This means that gallery headers and {{tl|Card name}} should actually use these codes, rather than the "kr", etc. ones, too; current usages use the card number codes just because many editors aren't aware of this change yet and many usages just haven't been updated yet.
:::::If you're curious, this policy arises from the fact that different region releases using the same language don't have different text: card names and lores always match up between them (allowing for errata). This is probably most easily seen with the old English prints, where North American, European, and Oceanic/Australian English were all treated as separate prints; more recent examples would be TCG English versus Asian-English. (An interesting case is old versus new Portuguese prints: the old prints used European Portuguese, whereas the new prints use Brazilian Portuguese.)
:::::Unfortunately, there isn't really a manual or documentation explaining all this; we're rather bad about proper documentation on this wiki, and a good chunk of that is my fault. The [[Project:MOS|manual of style]] would probably be a good place to document some of this, though. <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> 04:33, February 11, 2016 (UTC)

::::::Oh, I see. Yeah, that complicates it.
::::::The problem with the database is it conflicts with the criteria here. For instance, on Special Edition pages, I've been using "<nowiki><Set name></nowiki>''':''' Special Edition". But on the database, they don't use the ":". But the pages here use it in their name. So I confess I'm not sure if we should use them or not. I've been using them, though.
::::::I wasn't very clear in one thing about the gallery headers. I meant like [[Card Gallery:Foucault's Cannon|this]]. In that case, "kr" and "sp" are preferred, right? Or not? Sorry for asking this again, but this confuses me, because I guess you were talking about gallery headers like [[Set Card Galleries:Duelist Alliance (OCG-KR-1E)|this]], where "ko" is used, right?

:::::::My approach to the database has been to inform the information we present, but not dictate it; there have been a few cases where the database contradicts other sources on names (and rarely other information), so it should be treated with care rather than trusted blindly.
:::::::My reply was meant to apply to card galleries as well: the headers display the card's name, so they should use the language codes.

Sorry for being spamming your talk page. Could you give a look at '''Set Card Ratios:Phantom Darkness: Special Edition (TCG) | this''', please?

:Set Card Ratios are a weird set of pages, whose ultimate future is uncertain - no one really seems to know for sure what to do with them.

==Several Stuff: Part 2==
Hello again. I see you and Deltaneos fixed the date display on the {{t|Card table set}}. Nice!<br />
So, I assembled several stuff to throw at you again (I hope this is not a habit). Here:
*[http://yugipedia.com/wiki/Special:Ask?offset=0&limit=500&q=%5B%5BClass+1%3A%3AOfficial%5D%5D+%5B%5BS%2FT+Class%3A%3AField+Spell+Card%5D%5D&p=class%3D-20sortable-20wikitable-20smwtable-20card-2Dlist%2Fformat%3Dbroadtable&po=%3FJapanese+name%0A This list], which came from [[List of Field Spell Cards|here]] (the first one) :
**Has two entries for [[Chicken Race]], which is the obsolete translation for [[Chicken Game]]. I can't figure why they appear there. After all, it's just one (not two) redirect without any tags. And those two erroneous entries are a bit weird, sometimes they display the Japanese name, other times they simply don't;
**Also, there's a red link appearing there too (Shouma Souchaku), another obsolete "translation", this time for [[Empowerment]], which, coincidentally, has two entries there too;
**[[Augmented Heraldry]]'s Japanese name appears there twice on the same entry.

*I see there are card property icons as "[[:File:Quick-Play.png|.png]]" and "[[:File:Quick-Play.svg|.svg]]". Why are the ".png" used in some cases and the ".svg" used in other cases? Why not going only with one? Any particular reason? Is it matter of resolution or something (I noticed the ".svg" are used in smaller cases)? I guess ".png" are preferred because they are more faithful to the icon that appears in the card, right?

*How are the "Set" pages (the ones that appear in the {{t|Navigation}}) supposed to be used?

*Finally, do you think it would be worth it to gather all the proxy pics into one gallery? Or, if not a gallery, into some list, or something?

Thanks for your time! [[User:Becasita|Becasita]] <sup><small>Pendulum</small></sup> ([[User talk:Becasita|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Becasita|contribs]]) 11:35, February 24, 2016 (UTC)

:That was pretty much all Delt's doing, actually. Truth be told, I'm still not happy with the situation from a technical point of view, but improving it is going to be a longer-ish-term project that will require a bit of thought, probably.
:The list stuff all comes down to SMW's caching. There's a few things that can be tried to fix them, but I don't want to start anything like that right now; if no one else's looked at them, I'll do so later today.
:It's more a matter of we haven't made any real effort to be consistent, actually. I think the SVGs are actually preferred, but I might be wrong. Even if we switched completely to one set of images, though, I think we'd want to keep the other set around, regardless.
:We're not really sure. The Card Sets namespace was requested without discussion, and as a result no one's really sure how it should be used (and as a result of that, uptake has been minimal). I've been thinking for a while about just unlinking the Card Sets link from {{t|Navigation}} and {{t|CardTable2}}, unless or until someone comes up with a good use for the pages.
:I think it would probably be worthwhile, though it might work better as several galleries, perhaps split up according to their source. But this is probably a discussion to be held on [[Talk:Official Proxy]], not here. =) <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> 12:19, February 24, 2016 (UTC)

== List of deaths ==
I noticed that you protected the List of Deaths page on the yugioh wikia.
I believe that it has been implied that Sergey has been "destroyed" in episode 95 after a group of nearby commons recognize him as the "duelist crusher" before picking up weapons.  Jean-michel rogers screen of Sergey then received a "No signal" message which I believe implies that he was destroyed.
I am sure this would count as a "death" and should belong on the List of Deaths page under the Arc-V category.

==Pendulum Scale Monster Lists==
Ah, I can't believe I forgot to remove the ratios on the {{t|Set navigation}}! Need to pay more attention.<br />
Look, Lucafriz requested [[User talk:Cheesedude#Pendulum Scale Monster Lists|to Cheesedude]] and then [[User talk:UltimateKuriboh#Pendulum Scale Monster Lists|to UltiK]] if the {{t|CardTable2}} could link directly to the lists of monsters by Pendulum Scale ([[Pendulum Scale 4 Monster Cards|example]]).<br />
I believe Lucafriz didn't address to you, and since you are the template guy and, if I may say, I think that would be a good and convenient idea, I'm pointing it to you. What do you think?

:I'm aware of it, but ambivalent to be honest (though leaning towards being in favor of linking them). The main thing is that the Level/Rank and ATK/DEF lists are not linked from the newer card templates (such as {{t|Anime card}} and {{t|Manga card}}), and I'm not sure if their being left out was intentional. If it was, I need to find out the reasoning for it, but if not, I'll have to add the links to those templates as well. <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> 13:14, March 7, 2016 (UTC)

::Ah, I see. Well, if I may give my humble opinion, as an user, I would find it extremely convenient. More than once I found myself clicking on it, even though I knew it wasn't linked.

Which won't work unless it's a talk page, right?
#Just to let you know you list boilerplate works great. Though I would like to make a suggestion: for instance, when a monster is both Fusion and Effect, the boilerplate will make it display as [[Fusion Monster]], when it should be [[Effect Monster|Effect]] [[Fusion Monster]]. Is it something that could be easily done? Or is something that requires some heavy coding?

:I've just updated the archiving script to be usable on user pages as well, so as soon as it gets approved you'll be good to go. (Needless to say, this means there's no problem if you choose to archive your talk page in the User: namespace instead of the User talk: namespace, other than it just being an unusual choice and therefore not necessarily supported by templates and whatnot.) =)

==New template idea==
You or somebody else probably thought about something like this already. But still.<br />
I thought about something that could be used in set articles. Something that would output the galleries for the set. That means, a template where given the right inputs, would output something similar to the content under the "''Galleries''" section on the set articles. Because that content is very... how do I say this... similar to each other. I mean, the link to a gallery, generically speaking is something like: "''Set Card Galleries:''SETNAME'' (''MEDIUM''-''REGION''-''EDITIONABBR'')''". And after that, it has "''FULL EDITION''". And at the beginning of all of that, it has the pic and the region.<br />
My idea would be something similar, in a way, to the {{t|Set navigation}}, where you would indicate the galleries for which country, and it would just display it. The pic could be inserted manually, since we don't have a very strict Name Policy for that kind of pics (but I'm trying to work on it).<br />
I probably didn't make myself clear, so I'll try to explain it with an example; An input like:<br />
<pre>
{{templatename |
|ENpic.png|EN|1E|
|JPpic.png|JP|
|KRpic.png|KR|1E,UE|
|}}
</pre>
Would output (if "subst" would be used (which is not my idea)):<br />
<pre>
<gallery captionalign="center">
ENpic.png | English<br />[[Set Card Galleries:SETNAME (TCG-EN-1E)|1st Edition]]
JPpic.png | Japanese<br />[[Set Card Galleries:SETNAME (OCG-JP)|Unlimited Edition]]
KRpic.png | Korean<br />[[Set Card Galleries:SETNAME (OCG-KR-1E)|1st Edition]]/[[Set Card Galleries:SETNAME (OCG-KR-UE)|Unlimited Edition]]
</gallery>
</pre>
The SETNAME could be easily gotten, right? Just like the {{t|Set navigation}} does. Deciding if it's TCG or OCG could also be done with relatively ease, right? I guess the major problem would be getting the parameters. Note that I use <nowiki>||</nowiki> to separate the arguments from one region to the following one. That probably doesn't work like that, but I don't know how this really works, so this is some kind of pseudo-code. And, of course, some details would have to be added. Like, for instance, a condition to throw the "/" in case the same region has two (or three) different editions.<br />
To conclude, well, something like this would automatize the way things would be done. That means less direct contact with the code, more abstraction barriers. And it could be useful (if possible) to automagically create links to other pages like [[TCG Set Galleries: Packs]], by using some template that would read the info on that one, and adapt it to that page's style.<br />

:Yep, I've had that thought before. It is possible, but tricky, because the &lt;gallery> tag doesn't play very well with templates. Other than that, a lot of what you said about it is pretty spot-on, and your proposal is fairly similar to how I'll probably implement it when I try to write something for this.
:There's no way to make that boilerplate work with cards with spaces in their names, because there's no way to tell automatically where a space should appear. It can still be used for those cases, but you'll have to either replace the code with the correct card name before uploading, or remember to edit the image description afterwards to correct the card's name (and if you look through [[Special:ListFiles/Dinoguy1000|my uploads]], you'll see cases where I've done that). I originally wrote that to simplify batch uploading card images with [[Special:MultipleUpload]], which is why there's code for the card name at all. <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> 01:42, March 17, 2016 (UTC)

::Well, in the worst case, we would have to introduce the tags manually and the template would just create what's in the middle of them.

:::Actually, that's the difficulty I was referring to: the gallery tag doesn't allow its content to be generated by templates (it's even finicky about using templates in the image descriptions; sometimes they just don't work). There's a way to work around this, but it's not very pretty; this may be something I end up just implementing in a Lua module instead (which would allow me to bypass all the difficulty).
:::There are also cases where multiple capitals appear without a preceding space, though these aren't nearly as common as cards with lowercased words in their names.
:::You can check to see if the breakage is happening very easily on a page by adding <code>?useskin=monobook</code> to the URL (if the URL already has a question mark, like <code><nowiki>https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Foobar?action=view</nowiki></code>, use <code>&useskin=monobook</code> instead).

Hey Dino. Could you just give me a little hand? Regarding the manga promo pages renames, when renaming, I think I have to look for "Yu-Gi-Oh! (R|GX|5D's|ZEXAL) Volume (1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9) promotional card" and replace it with "Yu-Gi-Oh! $1 volume $2 promotional card". Is this correct or am I missing something here?

==Weird edit glitch==
Hey, Dino. I was editing the list for the [[Structure Deck: Dinosaur's Rage Special Set]], because it was named incorrectly, I believe (though I saw you were the one creating it), and the correct link was redirecting to the incorrect one. So I edited the [[Set Card Lists:Structure Deck: Dinosaur's Rage Special Set (TCG-EN)|correct one]] to put the list there, and tagged the wrong one for deletion ([[Special:WhatLinksHere/Set Card Lists:Structure Deck: Dinosaur's Rage Special Set|nothing links to it now]]). But when I created the list in the correct link, and published, [https://yugipedia.com/index.php?title=Set_Card_Lists:Structure_Deck:_Dinosaur's_Rage_Special_Set_(TCG-EN)&diff=2690923&oldid=2690922 something weird happen]. I have no idea why that happened. As you can see by the [{{fullurl:Set Card Lists:Structure Deck: Dinosaur's Rage Special Set (TCG-EN)|action=history}} page history], I added 434 bytes, so I guess that proves I did not write that. So I don't understand how that phrase appeared there. I then just submited the same code, and [https://yugipedia.com/index.php?title=Set_Card_Lists:Structure_Deck:_Dinosaur's_Rage_Special_Set_(TCG-EN)&diff=2690924&oldid=2690923 it worked]. And as you can see by the history again, I added 0 bytes that second time, which is true, since I submited the same code. So I'm really confused. I even had previewed and it was fine. I don't understand why that happened.

At this point, probably the only way to get it back under the limits and thus displaying again, short of removing some of the {{t|Card table set}} transclusions, will be to convert {{t|R}} and/or {{tlf|Card table set}} to Lua modules, something I've been putting off because I still haven't done all that much with Lua yet. <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> 00:38, March 28, 2016 (UTC)

:::Modules are a newer programming system for use on MediaWiki wikis (such as Wikia's wikis) which is intended to supplement, and in some cases replace, the older system using wikimarkup and [[mw:Help:Extension:ParserFunctions|ParserFunctions]]; [[wikipedia:Lua (programming language)|Lua]] is the programming language that modules currently use. The reason this system was developed is because the older template system was not designed to be programmed with, and it shows: trying to do things like working with strings (which, as it turns out, is something a lot of people want to do when they're working on text all the time (who figured!)) is difficult, the code for it is overly lengthy and hard to understand (which means editing it to fix things or add features is even harder), and the whole thing is very heavy on the servers to run. By contrast, the module system, and the Lua programming language, are designed from the ground up for these types of tasks, and as a result, the code to do so is much more understandable and maintainable, and the servers have a much easier time running it.
:::Unfortunately, storing the set information on the Set pages and transcluding it back onto the card page isn't an option. In fact, it would actually make the problem worse: due to the way the parser works, when a page is transcluded onto another page, its weight, as measured by the template limits, is doubled, and this doubling applies to each "level" of transclusion. So if a page A is transcluded onto B, the amount it adds to the template limits of B is twice what its own template limits are, and if B is transcluded onto C, the amount A adds to C's template limits becomes four times A's template limits by itself (I hope that made sense; I've never really found a good way to explain this). So not only would this not fix MST, but there's a good chance it would cause several other card pages to also break. <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> 02:05, March 28, 2016 (UTC)

:::::No, not entirely; the module system has a base amount of overhead that the template system doesn't, which means there are templates which perform simple tasks that shouldn't be converted to modules (doing so won't gain any performance benefits, and often would be a performance loss). And the template system isn't going away any time in the foreseeable future, either, both for that reason, and because of the sheer number of templates that already exist on so many wikis (and for several other reasons). Even if that was the plan, it would still require people knowledgeable enough to be able to write replacement modules for all of a wiki's templates, and we don't really have any editors on YGO who have that skill set and knowledge. So you don't have to worry that what you've learned about templates so far is for nothing. =)
:::::I don't think the template limits can be translated to measures of complexity that literally, but that's the general idea of it, yes.

First, sorry to bother you this much, sorry, sorry, sorry. But I have a question regarding the last changes you made to the {{t|Infobox set}}.<br />
You changed <code>es_release_date</code> to <code>sp_release_date</code>, <code>ja_release_date</code> to <code>jp_release_date</code>, <code>ko_release_date</code> to <code>kr_release_date</code>, etc.. Basically, you changed from language indexes to region indexes (not sure if this is the exact correct terminology), right?<br />My question is; shouldn't <code>zh_release_date</code> be changed to <code>tc_release_date</code>? I'm asking because "tc" is used in the same places "sp" and "kr" is used, like the {{t|Card table set/header}} template or the {{t|GalleryHeader}} template. Though on this last one, the indexes appear on the <code>|lang=</code> parameter, so I'm not sure here. I see from [https://yugipedia.com/index.php?title=Template:Infobox_set&diff=2307618&oldid=2307616 here] that <code>tc_release_date</code> is there, and that you made some changes that used it, but if I go on a set and switch <code>zh_release_date</code> to <code>tc_release_date</code>, it won't display.<br />
This is not very important, I know, but since <code>ko_release_date</code> got changed to <code>kr_release_date</code>, it got me wondering if <code>zh_release_date</code> should be changed to <code>tc_release_date</code>.<br />
I looked to the source code of all those templates I mentioned above, to seek for an answer, but I can't be sure on it. And I really apologize if I'm just making you waste your time with some irrelevant matter.

:The truth is, I'm not sure myself. The whole reason any distinction between ZH and TC is present in certain templates at all is that, very early in the OCG's history (during [[Series 1]]), two Chinese-language promos were distributed in certain issues of ''Weekly Shonen Jump'' and ''V Jump'' in Japan. However, it isn't obvious if we should treat these as separate from the much later TC releases (especially since the early promos were officially distributed only within Japan, while the later releases have officially been distributed only outside of Japan (I think in Taiwan and Singapore, but I'm not sure)), or if they should all be handled the same (since there were only two promos, which is very little to justify the extra overhead everywhere). I lean towards handling them all the same myself, bu the uncertainty is enough that I haven't tried going in one direction with it, and it shows in the varying levels of support and approaches in various templates. <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> 01:06, March 28, 2016 (UTC)

::So, if I got this right, if you were to make <code>tc_release_date</code> exactly the same as <code>zh_release_date</code>, nothing would appear broken nor wrong?

==Several Stuff: Part 3==
It's me again, Dino. Here's some stuff again:
*Some of [[Megamorph]] release dates are not displaying. I reset the {{t|Infobox set}} on those sets, but it didn't work, hence why I'm pointing it to you;
*[[CXyz Mechquipped Djinn Angeneral]] is member of the hidden '''Category:((CardTable2)) transclusions with anime parameters'''. What does that mean exactly? I've been looking for days (since I last edited it) for any anime parameters on it and I can't find them;
*Last but not least, I would like to know how difficult would be to create a condition on the {{tlf|Infobox set}} that would shorten the <code>prev</code> and the <code>next</code> parameters either automatically or semi-automatically, maybe by giving it an argument through another parameter as the reduction reference. I'm trying to not write a wall of text on it, so I'm not sure if I was clear. A very quick example:
**If the product is a Structure Deck, the parameters would understand that and remove both "Structure Deck" or "Structure Deck:", while still link to the respective product. Hum, probably not worth the effort, right?
Thank you for your time! [[User:Becasita|Becasita]] <sup><small>Pendulum</small></sup> ([[User talk:Becasita|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Becasita|contribs]]) 11:05, March 30, 2016 (UTC)

:* I'm guessing you're talking about the SKE and MRL/SRL releases. I'm not sure why the SKE date isn't showing; I would guess that it has to do with the particular SMW properties being stored for it, but haven't investigated. MRL/SRL is (at least partially) because the releases noted as "Magic Ruler" are linking to the [[Magic Ruler|disambiguation page]] instead of the actual [[Spell Ruler|set page]], and are also trying to pull information from there. But since it's a disambiguation page, there is no information to be gotten from it. This helps to illustrate something that's been on my mind recently, namely that we probably don't have as much fine-grained detail in the {{tlf|Infobox set}} release date parameters as might be desired (at the very least, separate parameters for 1E and UE releases might be useful). But without good sources for specific release dates for a bunch of sets, I'm not sure we could justify trying to add more fine-grained parameters.
:*That is a tracking category for pages that use {{t|CardTable2}} which have anime-related parameters on them, as it sounds from the name. However, not all the parameters it tracks are obvious from their names; for example, the <code>yugioh_site</code> parameter is one of them, since it was used to correct the URL names of cards in links to their yugioh.com anime site pages, but the parameter name itself doesn't give any indication that it's related to the anime. Note that you shouldn't just blindly remove these parameters, though; at the least, for <code>yugioh_site</code>, you should make sure that the newer anime card page links to the correct yugioh.com page and, if not, copy the <code>yugioh_site</code> parameter over to it. (There have been some cases of editors reverting card pages to versions before the anime parameters were removed; in these cases it is generally fine to just undo their edit(s).)
:*It actually already does this for a selection of common text: mostly "promotional card(s)", but also "participation card(s)" and "prize card(s)". I have thought about adding handling for other common text, but the prev/next links aren't the only place in the infobox where trimming such text might be desired, and in any case it's probably not a good idea to just blindly start stripping random strings from names without very good reason (as in the case of the strings I mentioned before).

::*Regarding the MRL/SRL, it actually occurred to me it could be something like that, because Magic Ruler and Spell Ruler are, in the end, the same page, but not directly. But at the time I was already in classes and when I got home I had already forgotten about that, so I didn't check. Could have avoided making you spend some time on it, sorry. As for the SKE, yeah, I had no idea, besides the typical SMW glitches, but it could also be something similar to when those AE or NA dates weren't displaying, and you just fixed them, so I decided to ask you. It's really hard to find Unlimited Edition release dates for some sets, Dino, indeed. And that leads me to another question: Some sets have a separate "gallery frame" on their main pages for the UE gallery. Like [[Crossroads of Chaos#Galleries|CSOC]], for instance. Should this be made for all sets where we have pics for both the 1E and UE set cover? Or should it be a common practice? Or should we only go with the 1E cover (like in the majority of the articles)? Well, there still is [[Talk:Official Proxy#bottom|that idea of yours]], so I guess this question is not very relevant for now. But just in case.
::*Golden Key deleted that parameter from it, so I understood that was the one. Ok, I'll make sure of that next time! Thanks for the info.
::*Aaaah, I had a vague idea I've seen something like that at some page, but I wasn't sure if it had been just a dream hahah. I asked because I was going through the Decks and wasn't sure if that could (and, if so, would) be made.

Hey! Ready for another round? By the way, if you think this section title is not very appropriate, feel free to change it. Here goes:
*Could you explain me the difference between {{t|TOCRight}}, {{t|TOC right}} and {{t|TOCright}}, please? They all have the same template type and the same code.
*One other thing is: how do I place the TOC wherever I want, but without forcing it? Because if I use <code><nowiki>__TOC__</nowiki></code> or any of the templates mentioned above or {{t|TOC}}, I will always force it.
*This is a bit by curiosity: why do you have <code>#Top</code> on your sig on the part linking to your talk page? In what instances the page would not open at the top of the page?
*Now a bit more related with the Yu-Gi-Oh! Wikia: The French and Portuguese headers at [[Card Gallery:Limiter Overload]] are displaying the English name. I can't seem to figure why. Something similar is happening with the German header at [[Card Gallery:Release from Stone]].  
* The template {{t|Set navigation}} isn't generating the TC gallery's link properly. It's generating it with the edition (<code>Set Card Galleries:SETNAME (OCG-TC-UE)</code> instead of <code>Set Card Galleries:SETNAME (OCG-TC)</code>). Here are some examples: [[SD24#List]]; [[SD25#List]].

:*There is no difference, and in fact they're also all the same as {{t|TOC}} (given that they were only transcluding it, this isn't a surprise). Given that, I have no idea why I didn't create them as redirects to TOC to begin with, and have redirected them (needless to say, this means you can use any of them, depending on which one you happen to remember whenever you need them).
:*I'm not sure what you mean by "forcing" it; using <code><nowiki>__TOC__</nowiki></code> should only display the TOC if it would normally appear on the page (by default, only if there are at least three section headers on the page). If this isn't what you were talking about, it would help if you could explain yourself a bit better, and link to an example showing behavior you don't want.
:*I have that so the link will appear normally when I sign a comment on my talk page. Without it, the link would be unlinked and bolded to show there's a link to the current page (for example: [[User talk:Dinoguy1000]]). "Top" is just a section title that's unlikely to be used in practice, either as a section header or as the name of an element in the page's HTML source. It's also very short and accurately describes its intent (to link to the top of the page).
:*I'm not sure, but am going to guess that it's an SMW cache issue (as so many problems like that end up being). Hopefully they'll fix themselves after a while.

== Improving [[Attack name]] article  ==

Sorry for bothering you Dino, but I want to ask if it is possible to implement the idea that I proposed in [[Template talk:Anime card#Attack and effect name]] and potential technical issues from that change. Basically, I want to add new parameters (like |attack_name; |effect_name; |ja_attack_name and so on) to [[Template:Anime card]] and [[Template:Manga card]] to track the attack/effect name of cards in the anime/manga and have the [[Attack name]] article to list and update them automatically similar to [[Special Summons from your Pendulum Zone]] article. --[[User:Blackwings0605|Blackwings0605]] ([[User talk:Blackwings0605|talk]]) 16:29, April 5, 2016 (UTC)

:If you recall, {{t|CardTable2}} used to have an <code>attackname</code> parameter; [[Forum:Attack name parameter in CardTable2|it was removed]] because of editors adding non-attack names and even fake attack names.

== Chinese Translations ==

If you don't want me to, I completely understand.  But I was ''kind'' of thinking about trying to attempt to figure out the Chinese translations for certain cards, namely the ones that don't have [[Traditional Chinese|Chinese]] translations on the [[March 2016 Lists]], using something like Google translate.  From what I saw, I would have to translate such names into Chinese based on the ''original'' (Japanese) names of said cards.  If you were to allow me to do this, would you?  (And don't worry, I will '''assure''' you that I'll include disclaimers that say the Chinese translations are unofficial.) --'''[[User:Psychid45|<font color="lime">Yes, it's PSYCHID!</font>]]<sup> [[User talk:Psychid45|<font color="skyblue">He talks!</font>]] [[Special:Contributions/Psychid45|<font color="red">He does stuff!</font>]]</sup>''' 15:24, April 7, 2016 (UTC)

:It is really unnecessary to attempt Chinese translations for these cards, especially when you're not well-acquainted with Chinese. These Chinese names are not essential; adding them might make the page look more uniform, but that is the only merit. I doubt that we have many Chinese readers going to look at that page. --[[User:UltimateKuriboh|UltimateKuriboh]] ([[User talk:UltimateKuriboh|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/UltimateKuriboh|contribs]]) 00:59, April 8, 2016 (UTC)

==Categories naming & string limits==
Hey Dino! Two small things:
*I know [[User:Dinobot1000|Dinobot1000]] has removed redundant sort keys (like {{tlf|PAGENAME}}) when a Category is placed on a page (like [{{fullurl:Template:Yu-Gi-Oh! episodes/season 5|diff=prev&oldid=3004035}} here]). Does that mean when a Category is put on a page, it shouldn't contain any pipe with words after it? I assumed it shouldn't, so I removed some (like [{{fullurl:Duelist Entry Deck VS: Dark Legion|diff=3345823&oldid=3184823}} here]), but since lots of pages have them, I'm starting to feel like I shouldn't have removed them. What's the correct procedure?

*The other thing is, as you can see [[Set Card Lists:Duelist Entry Deck VS (OCG-JP)|here]], {{tlf|Card name|D/D/D Dragon King Pendragon|ja}} throws an error. You're probably aware of this, though.

==Request for opinion==
Me again. This message is destined to Deltaneos too. May I ask you for something? Could you take a look at [[User:Becasita/SubPages/Templates/CardImage|this page]] of mine?<br />
Since I upload several pics and the [[Yu-Gi-Oh!:Image policy|Image policy]] is strict enough, why not making something that would do part of the job for me when applying the {{t|OCG-TCG card image}}? So I came up with that.
I know you guys may be busy, but I would like you to take a look and give me any suggestions, since you seem to be the ones who work more with this kind of stuff. I know I could improve that (like using more vars, for instance) and I'll probably do that in the future. I'll also add more parameters to allow inserting {{t|Watermark}} and {{t|Poor quality}} more easily, probably.<br />
I also had a bunch of <code><nowiki><includeonly>subst:</includeonly></nowiki></code> that I [{{fullurl:User:Becasita/SubPages/Templates/CardImage|diff=3348726&oldid=3348598}} replaced] for <code><nowiki>{{{|safesubst:}}}</nowiki></code>, since that "template" is supposed to be always substituted, but I'm not 100% sure if that's the way to go.<br />
Finally, I'm not asking you your opinion just because. What I would like to know is if I can share this with other users that upload pics a lot ([[User:SSCooler|SSCooler]] ([[Special:ListFiles/SSCooler|uploads]]) ([[User talk:SSCooler#Pic upload|I actually shared a first version of this with him]]), [[User:Golden Key|Golden Key]] ([[Special:ListFiles/Golden Key|uploads]]), etc.), because, since this gets the parameters filled depending on the file name, if it's named incorrectly, it won't fill the parameters correctly and won't output errors (because there will be no discrepancy between the {{tlf|OCG-TCG card image}} parameters' arguments and the file name), making it, maybe, risky to use.<br />
Oh, and I have file paths on the "Example" section there. I know I shouldn't have pics on my user space due to [[:Wikipedia:Fair use|Fair use]], but I'm not sure if I'm allowed to have them there un-linked. Sorry for the big text; Thank you for your time.

::It definitely looks useful; a new version of {{tlf|OCG-TCG card image}} that uses the information in the filenames instead of requiring it to all be passed as parameters (along with a change to the image policy to make the filenames more human-readable (which would simultaneously, interestingly enough, make them somewhat easier to work with in templates)) is something I've been thinking about for several years now, but haven't really ever gotten around to working on (in the long term, it would be implemented as a module in Lua, but that's contingent on me getting much more familiar and proficient with Lua, so it's anyone's guess just how long "long term" will end up being). In the meantime, having something that auto-fills parameters for the current template as much as possible is perfectly acceptable. =)
::You shouldn't worry about trying to use any particular coding technique for it; when you're dealing with code that's supposed to be functional, your first concern should always be to make sure you understand what it's doing, so you're able to modify it later without much trouble (this is a trap I've managed to spring on myself more than once here =D ). Though that's not to say that you should completely avoid trying new things; if you're keen on them, and you're prepared to dig yourself out of the muck if you end up in over your head, you absolutely should give them a shot (this is basically the entirety of my method for learning new things with wikicoding, and to be honest, I find messing up half the fun of the whole exercise XD ).
::In this case, I would actually suggest switching back: <code><nowiki>{{{|safesubst:}}}</nowiki></code> is meant to be used for cases where a template can be substituted or transcluded normally, while <code><nowiki><includeonly>subst:</includeonly></nowiki></code> only works properly when the template is substituted; the <code>subst</code> code has the added benefit of not using curly braces, which should hopefully help (at least a bit) in reading the code later.
::By all means, if you know of editors you think would find this useful, share it!

But how should I do it, then? The one thing I remember of you telling me how to note from where something came from was in [[User talk:Dinoguy1000#Several Stuff: Part 3|Several Stuff: Part 3]], near the end. Is that it?
:::Oh, and one more question: the template {{t|GalleryHeader}} uses <code>lang</code> as a parameter, but that parameter actually uses region indexes, which are converted through the {{t|Region}} template. So shouldn't the parameter be named <code>region</code>, much like the one at {{tlf|OCG-TCG card image}} (which, before, if I'm not mistaken, also used <code>lang</code>)? I know this is some small thing, and the parameters can have any name, but I think it would be more correct.
:::Thanks for all the explanations, Dino! Ah, also thanks for changing <code>[0-9]</code> to <code>\d</code>. Ahrr, I knew the latter was a shorthand for the former, you told me about it before, but, for some reason, I used <code>[0-9]</code>... Anyway, thanks!

::::One other suggestion I would make is to use whitespace liberally: there are a number of places it can be used without affecting the output (the major ones are after the opening <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki></code>, after the colon, around the pipes, and before the closing <code><nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>, in parser functions, for example <code><nowiki>{{ #if: {{{foo|}}} | bar | baz }}</nowiki></code> ), and it has no effect on the template limits of the rendered page; pretty good tradeoffs for what can be a massive readability improvement. (One note, though: if there's whitespace between <code>[safe]subst:</code> and <code>#function:</code> (e.g. <code><nowiki><includeonly>subst:</includeonly> #if:</nowiki></code> or <code><nowiki>{{{|safesubst:}}} #var:</nowiki></code>), the code won't work properly (though I can't remember how exactly it breaks, since I've only had to fix one or two instances of it to date).)

::::That's just a matter of a very old template I've never gotten around to properly updating.

::::::::It looks interesting, though as currently designed, it needs to be hardcoded for however many rows need to be supported (which, considering the sizes of some of the reprint sets, is potentially several hundred rows). I don't think there's any easy way around this; my approach would be to break out the row code to a separate page that gets transcluded as many times as necessary (though with that, you'll have to re-get the region info in the first row (you can then stick it into a variable and just fetch the variable for subsequent transclusions; you might also be able to use the appropriate variable from the header, but cross-transclusion variables sometimes do weird things when the transclusions are at different layers, so you'd want to double-check how that behaved)).
::::::::Be careful which character you choose for a delimiter; if it appears in a card name, any instances of that card will break the code.

::::::::::::I apologize for my lengthy delay in answering this and your other messages; I would say it's because I've been busy in real life, but for the most part it's just because I've been lazy about wiki stuff the past few weeks (though my laptop hasn't really helped either; it seems to enjoy refusing to load pages at random and as a result it can get frustrating waiting on stuff to load every time I click a link, as you might imagine).
::::::::::::Scribunto is the name of [[mw:Extension:Scribunto|the extension]] that enables Lua to be used to write modules; [[wikipedia:Lua (programming language)|Lua]] is a programming language (as opposed to wikimarkup and parser functions, which were only ever intended to be used as a markup language, regardless of the lengths they have been stretched to over the years); and modules are just the individual pages (in the [[Special:PrefixIndex/Module:|Module: namespace]]) that contain the relevant code (much like how templates are pages in the Template: namespace that contain the text, wikimarkup, and parser functions used to build various parts of articles). The module system was conceived specifically to address the fact that the wikimarkup/parser function system was being grossly overextended to do things it was never designed for, as well as to obviate the need for various parser function extensions such as StringFunctions, Arrays, and Variables (though all three of those, and other such extensions that aren't enabled here, do have their place alongside modules). It's important to note, though, that modules were not intended as a wholesale replacement for the template namespace, and there are plenty of cases where a template is far more appropriate than a module (in addition, normally modules are called through a template rather than being used directly on articles). Because Lua has been around for over two decades, and used in a number of places beyond MediaWiki (specifically, MW devs adopted it after reviewing a bunch of options; it was created before wikis had been invented), you can find lots of tutorials on it all over the internet, and there is a reference for MediaWiki's specific implementation (which disables or changes a few features to enable proper sandboxing) at [[mw:Extension:Scribunto/Lua reference manual]] (though note that, because Wikia's version of MediaWiki and Scribunto are behind the current MW releases, there are also some differences in behavior and functionality between Scribunto/Lua on Wikia and on an up-to-date vanilla MW installation; I'm not sure where you might find documentation on these differences, though there may be information on the {{wikia|dev||Dev}} or {{wikia|portability||Portability}} wikis).
::::::::::::If you'd like an environment where you can test templates (and modules) much more freely without having to worry about breaking articles or otherwise affecting readers, Wikia allows you to create a sandbox wiki for yourself (for example, {{wikia|dinoguy1e3||I have one}} that I don't use very often), though note that the terms of service still apply to it (and you'll have to request for Scribunto, Arrays, and Variables to be enabled on it). Unfortunately, you won't be able to mess around with testing SMW on such a wiki, but for that you can use the {{wikia|smwtest||SMWTest wiki}} instead.

:::::::::::::Ah, no worries, Dino! It's good see you again! And I sent you so many messages, sorry, I tried not to overwhelm you.
:::::::::::::Yeah, I found some good info about those at [[wikiversity:Lua/Scribunto/Lua|Wikiversity]]. Thanks a lot for the explanation. It's interesting to know why it was conceived and for what role and how it relates to the Templates and such.
:::::::::::::But that's like learning a whole new programming language, it will be something I'll do slowly. I didn't find it particularly simple, which makes it harder for me (at least for now). I might try those wikis but I already have so much stuff going on, I don't know if I'll be able to do everything. I still have some basics stuff to consolidate or learn.
:::::::::::::As for the arrays, I was familiar with them. I still don't know how to make them loop. Besides recursion, that is. I basically was trying to treat a template as function, say, in C. But the Wikia doesn't allow loops (which is natural, given they could easily go on an infinite cycle and that could be troublesome). Well, I confess I didn't try much to find how to loop the arrays.

==Your boilerplate again & property pages==
Dino, do you think [[User:Becasita/SubPages/Templates/CardType|this]] could be integrated on your set card list [[User:Dinoguy1000/boilerplate#Set Card Lists|boilerplate]], replacing that last row? I still have to clean that a bit and add a table with examples using the template and instructions, make it able to substitute, etc.. I'll do that when I have more time. But what do you think?<br />
Also, I [[Property:German Pendulum Effect|tried to create]] some property pages, because they didn't exist and they were red at the [[Special:Browse|Browse]] page. But I tried to follow [[Property:Japanese Pendulum Effect|the Japanese one]], but nothing happened on the ones I created. And they made the Pendulum Effect disappear from the Browse page (as you can see [[Special:Browse/Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon|here]], for instance). Is there something I'm not aware of that I should have done, or is it a matter of cache or something? I actually couldn't found much information regarding that matter (but maybe that's because it's late here and I'm sleepy). And why does [[Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon]] Browse page (the one I linked before) say it has improper values for the Italian and the Portuguese Pendulum Effects? (I guess that's what makes the factbox display and mess with the page, right?)<br />
Sorry, man, for these much questions. I would really appreciate some enlightenment, thanks. [[User:Becasita|Becasita]] <sup><small>Pendulum</small></sup> ([[User talk:Becasita|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Becasita|contribs]]) 00:07, April 26, 2016 (UTC)

:I would need to work on the code some myself, but I would have no problem with integrating it, no.
:When you create a property page that's already used in articles, it can cause the property/value to disappear from those articles as you've seen. Normally a null edit is enough to make it reappear, and to display correctly, though.
:The improper value for the Italian Pendulum Effect is because the article hadn't been null edited after the property was created; I've since null edited it, and the browse page doesn't complain about the Italian effect having an improper value any more. On the other hand, it's complaining about the Portuguese one because that property hasn't been created yet, and uncreated properties (and properties without a "has type" statement) default to [[Special:Types/Page|page-type]]; values for page-type properties have to be a valid pagename and thus can't contain links. <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> 11:29, April 26, 2016 (UTC)

==Release dates not displaying==
Dino, are you there? Cards released on the [[2014 Mega-Tins]] and [[2015 Mega-Tins]] ([[Bujingi Crane|example]]) are not displaying their respective set "en" release date. Sorry to bother you with so much stuff, but I've tried to solve it and I don't know what more to do. <span class="nowrap">[[User:Becasita|Becasita]] <sup><small>Pendulum</small></sup></span> <span class="nowrap">([[User talk:Becasita|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Becasita|contribs]])</span> 16:40, April 30, 2016 (UTC)

:I'm guessing it's because the release dates are using the <code>na</code>, <code>eu</code>, and <code>oc</code> parameters rather than the <code>en</code> parameter. Truth be told, I'm still not happy with our handling of English-language set release dates (either in {{t|Infobox set}} or in {{t|Card table set}}, or probably in other places), but my previous thoughts on the problem don't really hold up to how English releases really work/have worked; it also doesn't help that I don't fully understand what's actually going on with them. One of my ideas was to have {{tlf|cts}} display all relevant dates under just the "English" header in a single transclusion, but there are cases where we do want to show them separately, so it would have to allow for that as well, and therefore this is something I won't be actually looking at until we're working on a module replacement for {{tlf|cts}} (which won't happen until I've gotten more experience with modules in general and figured out how to interface them properly with SMW). <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> 07:50, June 1, 2016 (UTC)

:I'm assuming you already understand what <code>#explode</code> is used for, so I won't explain that (though if I'm mistaken, let me know and I'll backtrack). In this case, they're used to strip the invisible <code><nowiki>[[SMW::off]]</nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki>[[SMW::on]]</nowiki></code> bits, which get added by SMW because of how the query is set up in {{tlf|Card name}}.

:I'm not really sure the best way to go here, myself. I think we're a bit hesitant to just change all Flip monsters to have "Flip" in a <code>type</code> parameter because it isn't clear yet that that's how Konami will treat them, and they don't seem to be gearing up for a massive reprint of all old Flip monsters, so it may be some time before we know more. In the meantime, if I understood from your comments on Ult's talk page correctly, you're already addressing this in your code by checking for "Flip" in the effect types of cards, but you mentioned something about having problems with things like "Condition, Flip"; if you mean your code doesn't find these when it should, you could use <code>#pos</code> (for example, <code><nowiki>{{ #if: {{ #pos: <string> | Flip }} | Flip monster }}</nowiki></code>).

==Set card galleries and lists templates==
Hi Dino. I know you've been a bit off of the Wikia, but I'll leave you this message.<br />
I started making a template to create the galleries for sets and another template for the lists. The approach I decided to take this time was similar to the one taken with {{t|Card table set}}.<br />
And I made this to work with sets like [[Structure Deck: Marik (TCG)]]. That kind of sets have the galleries and the lists named, for instance "Set Card Lists:Structure Deck: Marik (TCG-FR)" instead of "Set Card Lists:Structure Deck: Marik''' (TCG)''' (TCG-FR)", so the boilerplate can't get the name right. I decided to make my template to work with that kind of naming, so it will point to the correct name. However, since the galleries/lists are not named like that, my templates will fail to get the correct name, obviously, since it's impossible to guess it.<br />
You can read all the info about the list template [[User:Becasita/SubPages/Templates/SetList|here]]. It's not fully operational due to the <code>&lt;noinclude></code> tags. I can't include them and make them work. That template can't build lists like [[Set Card Lists:2015 Mega-Tins (TCG-FR)|this one]], but I wonder if those could be redesigned into something like [[Set Card Lists:Yugi's Legendary Decks (TCG-DE)|this one]] (the template can achieve that).<br />
As for the gallery template, I haven't wrote some "documentation" page like that one yet. But you can check the parts [[User:Becasita/SubPages/Templates|here]]. The problem on this one is that the <code>&lt;gallery></code> tags are tremendously stubborn, I can't make them work. I tried some stuff with the tags at [{{fullurl:User:Becasita/SubPages/Templates/NoInclude|action=history}} this page], without success.<br />
And that's it. I have some other ideas, but, for now, I'll leave it like that. Maybe clean here and there the parts. And I'll try to find any mistakes. Thanks for your attention!

==Superscript==
Hi again. I have some questions regarding the <code>&lt;sup></code> tag (I think the same goes for <code>&lt;sub></code>).<br />
When should it not be used? I know it shouldn't be used in English card names, right? And what about for other languages?<br />
Basically, <code><nowiki>[[Wattkid|Oscillo Hero </nowiki><sup>#</sup><nowiki>2]]</nowiki></code> is not advisable, correct? But what about <code>Oscillo-Held <sup>#</sup>2</code>?<br />
Why doesn't "[[Luster Dragon 2]]" have the <code>name</code> parameter filled with <code><nowiki>Luster Dragon <sup>#</sup>2</nowiki></code>? <span class="nowrap">[[User:Becasita|Becasita]] <sup><small>Pendulum</small></sup></span> <span class="nowrap">([[User talk:Becasita|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Becasita|contribs]])</span> 10:17, June 4, 2016 (UTC)

==Card image property==
I've noticed there are two big properties to deal with the card image:
# [[Property:Card Image]];
# [[Property:Card image]];
Any particular reason for this differentiation? I can see the former is used for ''OCG''/''TCG'' cards (used in {{t|CardTable2}}), while the latter is used for anime/manga (used in {{t|Anime card}} and {{t|Manga card}}). I also noticed the first links to the file directly, while the second uses a string value (I'm also aware of [[Property:Card Image Text]], used in {{tlf|CardTable2}}, which uses a string value). Why? Is it because it's easier to handle, since the anime/manga cards use several images or something? I think I'm starting to get how properties work, but I'm not understanding this, sorry for bothering you with it. <span class="nowrap">[[User:Becasita|Becasita]] <sup><small>Pendulum</small></sup></span> <span class="nowrap">([[User talk:Becasita|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Becasita|contribs]])</span> 22:09, June 9, 2016 (UTC)

==Dab vs. Redirects categories==
Hey Dino. Regarding [{{fullurl:MB01|diff=3408489&oldid=3408164}} MB01], why not keeping it at [[:Category:Set prefix redirects]]? If someone needs to run something on all the set abbreviations, they could be found at that category. Whereas in cases a disambiguation exists and the {{t|R from set abbr}} template is not used, people would have to check all the pages at the Set abbreviation redirects category and at the [[:Category:Disambiguation pages|Disambiguation pages]] category. Furthermore, not all pages at this last category are abbreviations from a set abbreviation, making the job of running through all set abbreviation pages (and only those) more difficult.<br />
However, I agree they are not redirects, of course. Though I still think it would be useful to group them (the set abbreviation pages) at one place. I guess for that, another category (e.g., "Set abbreviation") would have to be created, or something.<br />
There are other dab pages using {{tlf|R from set abbr}}. I guess they need to be removed, then? <span class="nowrap">[[User:Becasita|Becasita]] <sup><small>Pendulum</small></sup></span> <span class="nowrap">([[User talk:Becasita|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Becasita|contribs]])</span> 21:21, June 15, 2016 (UTC)

==Gallery section on set pages==
Regarding [{{fullurl:San Diego Comic-Con promotional cards|diff=3419337&oldid=3419307}} these changes] you made to the gallery section; I've [{{fullurl:Astral Pack Six&diff=3321253&oldid=3301584}} been standardizing] how they are displayed. I prefer the fact the edition is present there, so the user can know which edition was released for the pack without having to click on the link or without having to place the mouse above the link and check the url. I know {{t|Set navigation}} also omits it, if it's only one release for one region; I'll use this opportunity to express it's something I also don't like much, because it's not as explicit. Though in this last case, I really don't mind much, because in the "Galleries" section you have it explicit. But if it's supposed to not be explicit... SO I think in the "Galleries" section should be like the changes I made to the ''AP06''. What do you have to say about this? <span class="nowrap">[[User:Becasita|Becasita]] <sup><small>Pendulum</small></sup></span> <span class="nowrap">([[User talk:Becasita|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Becasita|contribs]])</span> 14:15, June 27, 2016 (UTC)

==Expression error: Unexpected < operator.px==
Hey Dinoguy,

On almost every anime card page, I'm getting this error. It's causing the images on that particular page to load too large/small. I'm not sure if you can help me, but I've never encountered this before. It doesn't occur for me on other wikis, either. Would you by any chance know what the problem is? Thank you so much for your time and cooperation! --[[User:ToonPegasus|ToonPegasus]] ([[User talk:ToonPegasus|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/ToonPegasus|contribs]]) 20:11, June 30, 2016 (UTC)

== Chinese-Exclusive ==

For starters, thanks for fixing the issue with the statuses for pages like "[[Thousand-Eyes Restrict]]".  It looks much better now.  But anyway...

If you don't think it's a good idea, I understand.  But I was wondering if, for some cards, their statuses [[March 2016 Lists|should be noted]] in the [[Traditional Chinese]] ''[[OCG]]''.  Like, for instance, "[[Blaster, Dragon Ruler of Infernos]]" is [[Forbidden]] in the regular ''OCG'', yet is [[Limited]] in the Chinese ''OCG''.  If possible, maybe we could make a row like '''<nowiki>| ocg_zh = Limited</nowiki>''', or something?

Just a thought. --'''[[User:Psychid45|<font color="lime">Yes, it's PSYCHID!</font>]]<sup> [[User talk:Psychid45|<font color="skyblue">He talks!</font>]] [[Special:Contributions/Psychid45|<font color="red">He does stuff!</font>]]</sup>''' 14:36, July 3, 2016 (UTC)

Anyway, I'm writing this message because I need a little assistance on something. I created the [[Nonspecific Ritual Spell Card]] property entry partly as a way to streamline the template on [[Card Tips:Pre-Preparation of Rites]], regarding what Ritual Spell Cards that card can search out. I'm having trouble setting the template to include Ritual Spell Cards, but also simultaneously exclude any cards that have the "Nonspecific Ritual Spell Card" property entry.

:::Well, regarding the RfA, there's always next time, I suppose. I'll try to learn as much as I can about the wiki and how things work in more detail in future. As for the query, no, I haven't figured it out yet. What I want to do is for the template on the page to include Ritual Spell Cards, but also still exclude those with the Nonspecific Ritual Spell Cards property (as such cards cannot be searched with Pre-Preparation of Rites). I figure that is a much neater way to present the data rather that the current arrangement, which was to include all Ritual Spell Cards with the words "This card is used to" in their card text. The template also slapped on [[End of the World]] as well, which doesn't have those words in its text, but can be searched, and I find that overly clunky (Because what if we get more Ritual Spell Cards like End of the World? Are we going to also slap those onto the template separately as well?). Hence, this is why I asked for assistance, so I thank you in advance for any help you can render in this matter.

:::::While that does make things look nicer, presentation-wise, and indeed, has been implemented on the page itself, I don't know if it's what I'm looking for. As an example, the first list on [[Card Tips:Number 95: Galaxy-Eyes Dark Matter Dragon]] is meant to include all Galaxy-Eyes Xyz Monsters, but also simultaneously exclude Number 95: Galaxy-Eyes Dark Matter Dragon. It does so by including <code><nowiki>{{ #ask: [[English name::!Number 95: Galaxy-Eyes Dark Matter Dragon]] }}</nowiki></code> in its template. When I attempted to do something comparable to the list on [[Card Tips:Pre-Preparation of Rites]], by including <code><nowiki>{{ #ask: [[Misc::!Nonspecific Ritual Spell Card]] }}</nowiki></code> in the list's template, I didn't get the results I hoped for, if that makes sense. I would like to suggest a fix like this because I'm not keen on the list template relying on a line of shared text between cards as a way to include cards on the list. This is because such a list would then be vulnerable to any possible future errata that may cause some cards that meet the criteria to no longer share text with other cards that meet said criteria, given that errata takes quite a while to implement across all cards that need it.

:::::::Sorry about the late reply, I guess maybe I wasn't clear on what I was asking. While I suppose your fix does work for now, I was wondering if there was a way to code things so that a list would exclude every card in a specific property entry from inclusion, that would otherwise be included without said coding. We have something like this <code><nowiki>{{ #ask: [[English name::!Number 95: Galaxy-Eyes Dark Matter Dragon]] }}</nowiki></code>  to exclude a specific card from a list, in this case, "Number 95: Galaxy-Eyes Dark Matter Dragon", by adding that exclamation mark in between those two colons and the card's name, but nothing similar to exclude cards beloning to a whole property entry, like say <code><nowiki>{{ #ask: [[Misc::!Nonspecific Ritual Spell Card]] }}</nowiki></code>. Doing something like that would break the list's coding and cause the list to not be generated at all. So, I was wondering if something like this can be done for users who are not so savvy with coding so they can more easily generate lists. I suppose, in theory, if what I proposed is implemented, the resulting list will look identical to what you've done right now. Again, I'm not trying to knock on what you've done, so I hope you aren't offended, just wondering if there's a simpler way to do it.

::::::::Aah, now I see. What you're asking for is actually already possible in SMW, but it has some problems - first and foremost, using e.g. <code><nowiki>[[Misc::!Nonspecific Ritual Spell Card]]</nowiki></code> in a query will cause that query to only return pages with at least one value for Property:Misc, and if a page has multiple values, and one of them is "Nonspecific Ritual Spell Card", that page will still be listed, because the other values are not "Nonspecific Ritual Spell Card" (yes, both of these behaviors are exactly as asinine as they sound). In addition, this functionality will sometimes apparently just not work, for no discernible reason. Because of these things, it is better to avoid using it when possible; part of that is smart and careful design of the properties and their values, and part of it is carefully/cleverly written queries. There is no way I can see to emulate the behavior of <code>!</code>, especially while fixing the shortcomings of the native one, otherwise we'd already have written something to do exactly that, since that functionality would be so useful for us.
::::::::On the specific topic of my fix, are you concerned that it may not work correctly in the future? Because that shouldn't happen at any point; the query as I wrote it above covers all the necessary requirements for Pre-Preparation's effect, without allowing anything extraneous to also be listed. If you do have specific concerns about it, I would love if you could explain them, ideally well enough that I can actually address them somehow (though don't worry too much if you can't think of a way to explain them that well; we can always go back and forth a bit, to hopefully work out in detail what your concerns actually are). =) <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> 09:12, August 20, 2016 (UTC)
:::::::::Yeah, that was exactly what I was asking about, and I see about what you mean regarding <code>!</code> being unable to be emulated. Guess I still have a bit more to learn about coding. I guess my issue was that this would make a lot of peoples' lives easier regarding generating these query lists. I was concerned about the first version of the list, since it relied on a line of card text to be worded in a very specific manner, which would obviously cause problems if a future errata changes the wording of that particular line of text. I have no real issues with what you've done per se, I was just a bit concerned that it might not be as obvious to other users who may want to implement similar lists in future and they might not know what to write for the list coding-wise, hence my inquiry as to whether or not there was a simpler way to do things instead. Perhaps we need an FAQ guide on this query list coding form now on? Like what sequence of codes would produce what sort of entries?

I couldn't help but notice there was a bit of disagreement over whether or not cards such as "[[Number 22: Zombiestein]]" (a.k.a. a card that's only released in the North American ''[[TCG]]'') should be considered "[[Legal]]" for tournament play.  But in the case of "Zombiestein", if you were to let me, would you allow me to make a notification saying it currently ''isn't'' legal for ''TCG'' tournaments, since it's not released in European territories? --'''[[User:Psychid45|<font color="lime">Yes, it's PSYCHID!</font>]]<sup> [[User talk:Psychid45|<font color="skyblue">He talks!</font>]] [[Special:Contributions/Psychid45|<font color="red">He does stuff!</font>]]</sup>''' 01:16, September 30, 2016 (UTC)

== Coin Toss = no results found ==

Good day everyone.

I noticed that in the Coin Toss page [[Coin Toss]] is empty = doesn't get any monster/spell/trap card, but a few days ago, when I check in this page, it was working fine:

Some examples of cards that I checked was:

- Agido
- Abare Ushioni
- Lucky Punch
- Cup of Grace
- Time Wizard
- etc...

I'm building a "Lucky Deck" and I need check this page for query all cards which his "miscellaneous" property is "Coin Toss".

What could be the cause / changes made in the "Coin Toss" page (or in the properties of the Yu-Gi-Oh! cards "data") that cause that those pages can't get results?

Hi, could you help me, please? 

Recently I´ve become Admin of {{wikia|cs.theelderscrolls}} and I want to add new badges. But everytime I try to do that by writing something in "Create new track for category", nothing happens and this error comes up: "The specified category does not exist". Do you know what a problem can be?

Currently we have only basic badges - max. is 500 edits, 500 pictures, etc.

Thank you,

==Lists of Monsters==
I noticed that if you look through the [[List of Effect Monsters]], any Extra Deck monsters and Pendulum Monsters that are also Effect Monsters don't show up on the list. While, obviously, the answer if looking for such monsters is to go through the lists for the Extra Deck Monster Card types and the list for Pendulum Monsters, is there a way to incorporate those monsters in the list for Effect monsters regardless? Somehow, I feel that those monsters should be on that list since they are Effect Monsters regardless. The same goes for the [[List of Pendulum Monsters]], which excludes any Extra Deck Pendulum Monsters from it. Is there a way to include those monsters on the list as well. Additionally, another thing I've been wondering about for a while is if it is possible to link Pendulum Scale values on Pendulum Monster card pages to that respective list of monsters with that particular Pendulum Scale. We already have that sort of thing for Level/Rank, ATK, and DEF, where clicking the value will link you to a list of monsters that share the same stat. Any assistance on any of these inquiries would be greatly appreciated.

== Konami's Duel Monsters ==
I actually own 20 of the 22 Cards - I am Missing one of the two versions of BEWD , and Seiyaryu-G1-JP - I actually have had all 22 cards in my Posession at some point - and there are DEFINITELY , 2 versions of BEWD , one Marked "Not For Sale" - the other without this.
I won the Seiyaryu on Ebay UK , but allowed it to go to a friend in Germany as it was the Last of the 22 cards he needed. (we agreed not to outbid each other )
Also these are Definitely NOT Holofoil , but glossy coated (almost like the Booster 1-7 Series ), and because of the way the Art is done , they look almost 3D - very clever.

Hope this Helps not confuses things . Once I keep unpacking I will find the folder with mine copies in . If I remember correctly my copy of BEWD is the 2nd Version , so will scan it .
  
Best regards , nukleopatra01

:I don't doubt what you're saying, though for BEWD we would need to find out what release the "NOT FOR SALE" version was in (I would suspect - without any actual evidence to back it up of course - that it was an attendee card for a MCBB tournament or something, given that Seiyaryu was an attendee ("meeting experience", whatever that's supposed to mean) card for the DM1 tournament). As for the rarity, I can only go off of what others report and what the wiki has claimed, since I've never personally even seen one of these cards in real life, and the wiki has claimed for as long as I'm aware that these cards are [[Holofoil Rare]] (e.g. the "Holofoil Rare" page was [https://yugipedia.com/index.php?title=Holofoil_Rare&oldid=370409 created] in January 2007 with that claim, and presumably it reflected earlier-added claims on other pages here); it's worth pointing out that the Holofoil Rare page itself only describes the rarity features as "akin to Super Rares, but [with] a coating very similar to Parallel Common cards", and that the pre-OCG Konami promos are the only cards which we note as having this rarity (so if, as I suspect, your problem with the rarity is its name, then that's something we could easily enough change without disturbing or otherwise having to update any other card pages).
:If you manage to find your "NOT FOR SALE" BEWD, could you check and compare its backing to the backing of both the MCBB promos and the DM1 promos? It would be helpful to know if it matches one or the other of them; and in the event it matches neither, we'd want an image of its backing.
:One last note, if you're able to get high-quality scans of your cards, we could definitely use better images of most (possibly all) of these cards, if it wouldn't be too much trouble. <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> 22:33, March 11, 2017 (UTC)

== Token header ==
Don't know if it's intended or not but for tokens the header for the card type still use "Types" and not "Card type" [[User:Chinhodado|Chinhodado]] ([[User talk:Chinhodado|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Chinhodado|contribs]]) 15:58, March 12, 2017 (UTC)

:It's intended, yeah. If you look on the cards themselves, you'll see that "Token" is listed in the types string (e.g. <code>[Beast / Token]</code>). Since you made me think of it, though, Counters should probably list "Counter" under "Card type" instead of under "Types". <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> 19:40, March 12, 2017 (UTC)

::I don't see "Token" on the card (e.g. [[Dragon Lord Token]] just has [Dragon] not [Dragon / Token]), though? Also that card has "Card type: Monster" but other tokens (like [[Token (Yugi and Dark Magician)]] ) don't? If it's about having level/atk/def/type then this one [[Laval Token]] doesn't have any on the card itself but it also does have "Card type: Monster". It's very inconsistent. I think all tokens should have "Card type: Monster" [[User:Chinhodado|Chinhodado]] ([[User talk:Chinhodado|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Chinhodado|contribs]]) 00:22, March 13, 2017 (UTC)

:::Yeah, [[User:Becasita|Becasita]] and I investigated this earlier, after I replied here, and it turns out I was talking nonsense. Token cards that have been shown or released only have a types string if the card has a more specific name than "Token", otherwise they leave out that entire line. In addition, OCG/TCG and some video game Token cards don't include the word "Token" in the types string at all; the only cases I'm aware of now where the word "Token" is included is for Tokens featured in [[Yu-Gi-Oh! Power of Chaos|Power of Chaos]] and [[Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Arena|Duel Arena]] (though I wouldn't be surprised if there were other video games that also do this).
:::The "Card type: Monster" thing isn't as consistent as it should be, no. For the OCG/TCG card template, that whole thing is fairly new, and added on top of lots of legacy functionality/behavior which makes it much less straightforward than you would expect to "correctly" implement it. I think fixing it for Tokens should be pretty straightforward, though. <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> 00:46, March 13, 2017 (UTC)

:::: Thanks for the explanation and the quick fix! Another thing that I don't know if it has to do with the template or not is that many tokens (e.g. [[Laval Token]] ) do not have the "TCG Cards" or "OCG Cards" category.

:::::That's because those categories specifically aren't added for Tokens (which instead have "Category:Tokens" and "Category:Unusable cards"). I'm not sure if we want the "OCG/TCG cards" categories on Tokens either; ultimately, it comes down to what purpose we want those categories to serve. Though thinking about it, I'm not sure if "Category:Unusable cards" is appropriate for Tokens (or Counters) either, since they ''can'' be used in a Duel, they just can't be included in a Deck. So I guess we should treat "Category:OCG/TCG cards" and "Category:Unusable cards" as mutually exclusive, with all OCG/TCG cards falling in either one or the other?

== Duel Links cards ==
Hello I'm looking to work on tagging some of the cards that are available in the Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links - this game is continuously gaining popularity and I'm thinking people can use this wiki for information about the cards (since the game uses the updated effects of the real cards). My problem is I don't know how to start, can you please help me or point me to someone that can? Thanks in advance!

== "Status List Name" ==

I saw that for the [[April 2017 Lists]], you've created a "Status List Name" template, which I'm assuming you did to save some space.  (And at the same time, I'm assuming you ''are'' the one who made that template.)  I must admit, I never would've thought of that.

But if it's not too much trouble to ask, and I know that this isn't necessarily important because we haven't getting any new Forbidden/Limited Lists from ''that'' region: But is it possible that such a template exclusive to the [[Traditional Chinese]] ''[[OCG]]'' format could be made?  Again, I know it's not that crucial because there was only [[March 2016 Lists|one list]]; but with the fact it exists, it would make sense, right?  And don't worry, I can make it myself; but if I do, would it have to be renamed to '''<nowiki>{{Status list name ja}}</nowiki>''', or something like that?

:Actually, my motivation for the template was just to eliminate copy-paste errors where a card is linked, and the Japanese name of a different card is shown alongside it, as well as to ensure that all entries would be formatted the same (it also lets us update the format of everything with a single edit, should we decide some time in the future that we want to change things).
:I actually completely forgot abou the Chinese list when I created the template; otherwise I would have made sure it supported that case too. In any case, Beca added support for it (thanks! ^^ ), and did so in the same way I would have, so for now there's nothing else to be done really (other than converting the other OCG lists to use the template). <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> 12:52, April 10, 2017 (UTC)

==Traptrix Coronatus==
Oh yes, that was by accident. I created the Traptrix Coronatus page, not realizing that it already existed under the name Traptrix Ranka, so I intended to move the page I made to be a Card Trivia page for the card instead, since there was a bit of trivia regarding that card. Then after that, my intention was to move the already created Traptrix Ranka page to the Traptrix Coronatus name. The thing was, I accidentally moved the already existing Traptrix Ranka page instead of the page I created, but I only realized my mistake after the move occurred. So I just moved the card gallery page to the new name and left it at that, since I figured there was little else I could do about the matter. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

== Re: Speed World 2 ==
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.

Is it possible to add the id attribute to rows in a template, especially for the card template and booster template? It would make parsing the data a lot easier.

I was updating my spreadsheet for my card collection by going through relevant pages on the site and I came across something that struck me as being rather odd  on the page.  The cover card is for DB1 (Which I do agree with) however the cover card should be the NEWEST Release.  I was going down the release dates for the sets and saw LON-EN came out a couple of months after DB1.  while the original release of LON came out the previous year.  In that case then shouldn't the image have gone (LON->DB1->LON-EN)? as I said I think DB1 IS proper  However...

== FANDOM Wiki scraping ==

Hey there. I've read about the proposed forking from FANDOM Wikia to Yugipedia, and here I am. I'd ''really'' love to contribute to this wiki since FANDOM sucks and YGOrg rocks, but I have a few questions.

I figure Yugipedia is still importing changes, pages and pictures from FANDOM. How long will it take? Is there any progress bar or import log I can check? I noticed some recent pages, such as SR06 cards, still have the old proxy pictures and do not have passcodes.

Also, should I edit Yugipedia or FANDOM? That is, will any and all edits on FANDOM be automatically imported to Yugipedia? Will it be always like this? Thanks a lot in advance.

[[User:Facheman|Facheman]] ([[User talk:Facheman|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Facheman|contribs]]) 11:15, 18 March 2018 (UTC)

:Hello there. Glad to see that enthusiasm.
:We have stopped importing from FANDOM a long time ago. If you edit on FANDOM, it will mostlikely not make it's way in here automatically. <span class="nowrap">[[User:Becasita|Becasita]] <sup><small>Pendulum</small></sup></span> <span class="nowrap">([[User talk:Becasita|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Becasita|contribs]])</span> 12:30, 18 March 2018 (UTC)

:Hi Facheman, glad to see the interest!
:As Becasita said, we've actually finished the import of everything, and won't be doing any more mass imports. (We will import individual pages on request in some circumstances, but it's a case-by-case thing.) Unfortunately, while we have all edits up to some time in January IIRC, we only have files up to ~November 14, plus whatever individual files people have uploaded here more recently, so you may notice cases where Wikia has a file that we don't. In these cases, you are free to copy the file to here (though note that this applies ''only'' to files - to maintain compliance with content licenses, text cannot be copied without providing proper attribution; if you're interested in this, I can explain the process to you).
:Ultimately it's up to you whether you edit here, on FANDOM, or both, though (as you might imagine) we'd definitely prefer you edit only here.
:Thanks for your message, and please ask if you have any more questions about anything! =) [[User:Dinoguy1000|Dinoguy1000]] ([[User talk:Dinoguy1000|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Dinoguy1000|contribs]]) 20:56, 18 March 2018 (UTC)

:: Thanks for the quick response. For sure I'll leave FANDOM Wiki alone and edit Yugipedia as much as possible. Also yes, I'd like to know how importing text works. But you can just link me to a page that explains it, if any. Finally: if all importing has ended, how come navigation on this wiki is still slow? (I also get 502 errors from time to time.) The reason given somewhere (Reddit, maybe?) a few weeks ago was "background processes". I thought they were indeed the importing processes, but it looks like I was wrong.

:: Edit: Also also, what if I want to import multiple images at once, such as the aforementioned SR06-JP cards? Are there any jobs I should leave to bots (maybe such as the one I just mentioned)? Are there any bots at all on this wiki? [[User:Facheman|Facheman]] ([[User talk:Facheman|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Facheman|contribs]]) 17:57, 19 March 2018 (UTC)

:::Apologies in advance for the text wall; please ask for clarification if I didn't explain something well enough. =)
:::When you import text (whether from the Wikia, or from Wikipedia or a similar wiki), you need to properly attribute it. For our purposes, importing from the Wikia, the preferred method would be to export the complete page history via [[Special:Export]] on the Wikia (which anyone can do) and then import the resulting file via [[Special:Import]] on this wiki (which only an admin can do). Since the import is admin-only, it's probably better to just request the import and let an admin handle the export as well. This preserves all the edits in the page's history, as well as the names of all the editors that made those edits and the timestamps.
:::For copying from Wikipedia and similar wikis, the same process can be used, but personally I prefer a simpler one: linking to the source page in the edit summary when you save the page here (e.g. <code>copied from <nowiki>[[wikipedia:Example]]</nowiki></code>). This is preferable since there may be cases where the same username on Wikipedia and on Wikia/this wiki, aren't actually the same person (while accounts on Wikia are global - you can register on one Wikia wiki and then log in on any other Wikia wiki with the same username - Wikia and Wikipedia don't share user login information, so it's possible for two different people to register using the same name, one person on Wikia and the other on Wikipedia). If that ever happens, and the full import I mentioned above is used, it causes edits to be attributed to the wrong person, and so the import file would have to be changed before importing. So in general it's simpler to just copy-paste in this case, with attribution in the edit summary.
:::The performance issues are more to do with the sheer size of the wiki than anything. While we aren't by any means the [[metawikimedia:List of largest wikis|largest wiki]], we're definitely pretty far up there, and we also make heavy use of an extra bit of software called [[smw:|Semantic MediaWiki]], which is very taxing on servers. In addition, we're already getting ~10k users per week visiting the wiki, so there's a fair bit of traffic as well. The easiest fix is probably to spread the load across multiple servers, which is in the works as I understand it.
:::You should be able to upload multiple images on [[Special:MultiUpload]]. Normally we'd have several bots, but the software we usually use to run them hasn't been connecting with the wiki and we don't know why. At any rate, don't worry too much about stepping on a bot's toes; if you see something to do and you'd like to do it, go ahead. =) [[User:Dinoguy1000|Dinoguy1000]] ([[User talk:Dinoguy1000|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Dinoguy1000|contribs]]) 00:25, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

== Link Monster Pattern: Origin ==

Hi, it's me again. How's it been?

I don't know if you can answer (especially since it says that [[User:Deltaneos|Deltaneos]] is the one who uploaded it in the first place), but do you know where the [[:File:Link Monster pattern.png|header pattern for Link Monsters]] originated? I ask because recently I thought of making a Summoning mechanic of my own for another wiki, and the CSS header pattern for that might be something similar to that of the Link Monster pattern for this wiki. If you have any further questions or concerns, do not hesitate to ask. --'''[[User:The-Psychid|<font color="#33cc66">Yes, it's THE-PSYCHID!</font>]]<sup> [[User talk:The-Psychid|<font color="skyblue">He talks!</font>]] [[Special:Contributions/The-Psychid|<font color="red">He does stuff!</font>]]</sup>''' 19:41, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

== "Wikitable Sortable" ==

I noticed that you reverted my edits when I removed the "sortable" part from the '''"wikitable sortable"''' code. Personally, if it's just one card that's acquired its new status, what's the point of making it "sortable" to begin with? --'''[[User:The-Psychid|<font color="#33cc66">Yes, it's THE-PSYCHID!</font>]]<sup> [[User talk:The-Psychid|<font color="skyblue">He talks!</font>]] [[Special:Contributions/The-Psychid|<font color="red">He does stuff!</font>]]</sup>''' 03:05, 15 October 2019 (UTC)

:As I explained in the edit summary of my first revert, sometimes it won't be just one card, and it's better to have a sortable table when it's not needed than to have an unsortable table when it is. To look at it another way, it would require everyone who updates those tables to add or remove the <code>sortable</code> class as appropriate, which IMO is an unnecessary extra burden. It also keeps all of the tables consistent with each other. <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>[[User talk:Dinoguy1000#top|☎ Dinoguy1000]]</sup></span> 05:59, 15 October 2019 (UTC)

== How "Navbox" Works ==

Me again.

This is another question I have regarding the construction of my hopefully future wiki. I intend to make a navbox similar to [[Template:Gameplay|the "Gameplay" template]] on this wiki, as I actually plan on making a completely new stylized set of rules for my story. As such, it would only be appropriate that there would exist an appropriate template for that kind of occasion. I know that using the "[[Template:Navbox|Navbox]]" template is the ideal solution, but I don't know how to code it into my wiki. I <span class="plainlinks">[https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Template:Navbox tried to do some research into this]</span>, and I ''think'' it said something about having to add an extension to MediaWiki itself, but I don't know what it is. If you could please help me with this, I'd appreciate it. But if you have any further questions or concerns, do not hesitate to ask. Please, and thank you! --'''[[User:The-Psychid|<font color="#33cc66">Yes, it's THE-PSYCHID!</font>]]<sup> [[User talk:The-Psychid|<font color="skyblue">He talks!</font>]] [[Special:Contributions/The-Psychid|<font color="red">He does stuff!</font>]]</sup>''' 04:24, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

:To use the modern version of Navbox, you'll need to have [[mw:Extension:ParserFunctions|Extension:ParserFunctions]] and [[mw:Extension:Scribunto|Extension:Scribunto]] installed on your wiki. Both of these are bundled with MediaWiki, and are probably installed, but you can check by searching for them on Special:Version on your wiki (for comparison, see our [[Special:Version]] here). Unfortunately, if they ''aren't'' already installed, the amount of help I can offer is limited (especially for Extension:Scribunto).
:After that, the best way to get Navbox on your wiki is to just [[wikipedia:Special:Export|export]] it from Wikipedia (on that page, type in <code>Template:Navbox</code> (and, optionally, on a new line, <code>Module:Navbox</code>) in the large input box, and check the "Include templates" checkbox; the resulting XML file should look like [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Export/Template:Navbox&templates=1 this] if you open it in a text editor), and import the downloaded XML file on your wiki via Special:Import (you'll need to be an admin to use Special:Import, but since it's your wiki anyways, I'm assuming that's not a problem).
:You'll also need to copy the hlist and navbox CSS from [[wikipedia:MediaWiki:Common.css]] to your wiki's MediaWiki:Common.css (just copy eveything from the <code>Style for horizontal lists</code> comment down to the <code>.navbox-title .navbar</code> rule), and optionally also the <code>makeCollapsibleMwCollapsible</code> and <code>mwCollapsibleSetup</code> functions from [[wikipedia:MediaWiki:Common.js]] to your wiki's MediaWiki:Common.js, if you want autocollapsing (make sure to get the <code>mw.hook</code> function calls with them too).
:That should be pretty much everything; let me know if you need more help. <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>[[User talk:Dinoguy1000#top|☎ Dinoguy1000]]</sup></span> 06:38, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

::I ''do'' have it how I want it to be, as far as the <code>hlist</code> thing is concerned, but it's not exactly coming out as I've visually hoped. By that, I mean that there's no codes for either the header or the contents' background. Is it something I have to implement in the wiki's CSS?

Hello. I'm noticing that my account (YGOTourneyFan) appears to be missing? I tried logging in, but nothing worked! Also, some later additions to the WDC game page are not back, either.

== Message of forgiveness that I felt was necessary. ==

Hello, Dinoguy1000. I'm the user 95.237.151.9, also owner of the IP blocked address 154.28.188.233.

I'm here to apologize for my behavior regarding the article [[Damamu]]. 
Of course, I hope you're still not upset about my edits, without speaking them on the article's talk page first.

I just wanted to say that, while I didn't want to interfere in the article, I felt compelled to "improve" an argument that I thought was full of plural promons when the character was singular. 

As for the genre of "Damamu"; I don't know if I can say it, it seems to me that she is a female character and not gender abique.

Regarding the discussion with [[User:XBrain130|XBrain130]], I had deleted it not because I didn't like the answer, but because I simply thought I was leaving room for more serious discussions and not turning the page into a sort of Chat.

Even if it seems meaningless,i'm also here to ask, if possible, to unblock my second address "154.28.188.233".

If there is anything wrong with this message, please let me know.

Also, if in the future I make wrong changes to some article, I do it not for vandalism, but for simple help, even if I'm not registered yet. 

As a last request, I would like the "Goha Six" pages to be recreated.

If I made too many requests, I apologize for that too.
I wish you and all the administrators, collaborators, etc. of Yugipedia a good job. =). --[[User:95.237.151.9]]

Thanks for explaining the reasons for rejecting my edits. In particular, I would like to separate '???' apart from all the other values, that is, always last. This is because ??? is qualitatively different from all other special values, functioning more like a "IS NULL" value. However, I do have some suggestions:

Levels
* I am fine with negative values and zero before the positive values even though they are based on exceptional summoning conditions.
* ? should be the second last (meaning variable original level or attribute), and ??? should be last.

ATK and DEF values
* 0 ATK/DEF should go on the same line as the 1 to 1000 ATK/DEF row.
* The special values ?, X000, ????, ∞ go on the last row in that order. They are known special values whose actual original value is variable.
* [[???]] should always come last but on the same row as the ?-row, since it is used where there is ''no known information'' about that value at all.

Attributes
* The six regular attributes in alphabetical order, than DIVINE, then ?. Finally ???.

== Extraneous information ==

Hey Dinoguy,

I apologize for making too many unnecessary edits needed for this wiki, including noting certain exceptional Extra Deck monsters.

I will refrain from making such edits when there ain't a need to list that fact, unless it is a trivia.

== Important request for Dinoguy ==
Hello, Dinoguy1000. I apologize for the message and the waste of time, but since it seems like you and your colleagues are the most qualified people to write more detailed descriptions in articles, I thought I'd ask you for a few favors. I just ask you to update the pages of [[The Relic]] and the article of [[Kuaidul Velgear]]. That's all. I only ask that you write to me personally if you can't. 
Thank you. --[[Special:Contributions/193.207.166.200|193.207.166.200]] 10:58, 25 September 2023 (UTC)

:Hello, Dinoguy1000. I am user '''87.2.48.27''', also known as '''193.207.166.200'''. Not to be rude to you, but I have to ask you a question; the fact that you didn't respond to me for a few weeks I also could have let it go (although after 30 days it becomes unbearable for me), but since you responded to a message after mine, could you have responded also to mine in the meantime? However, please know that I was not offended and that for me you "simply forgot to answer me." I only ask you to answer me yourself IF YOU HAVE TIME. Thank you. --[[Special:Contributions/87.2.48.27|87.2.48.27]] 18:54, 25 October 2023 (UTC)

::I didn't answer because I had nothing to say. I don't generally do anything with anime/manga pages that isn't routine maintenance, so I'm the wrong person to ask to expand them, sorry. 18:57, 25 October 2023 (UTC)

== Re: List of Skill Cards ==

Hi, [[List of Skill Cards]] has Skills from ''Duel Links'' listed, which are not Skill Cards. That's why I edited the page. But if there's a way to exclude those from the list, then that might be the best solution. But I don't know how to do that.

== Sorry about that. ==

Hey there, sorry if my edit on the "unofficial terms" page was inappropriate. I can see how it'd be either that or going against the page's rule about keeping things concise/inexhaustive, so I'll take it on the chin.
You're good in my book, just wanted to get it off my chest.

== Portuguese edits/block ==
Hello,

My IP address was blocked by you, accused of having placed unofficial "lore and names" in the Portuguese language on the cards in the "Phantom Nightmare" collection.

Before blocking someone unduly, I ask you to check Konami's official database, as that's where I got the names and information from, but apparently you didn't know how to do that. So next time, learn.

== "Schwarzschild Infinity Dragon" lists LIGHT/DARK Dragons that it can't actually Summon on its Tips page's semantic thingy. ==

Hello. I just wanted to mention that the semantic search chart on the Tips page of "[[Schwarzschild Infinity Dragon]]" mentions cards like "[[Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon]]", which shouldn't be part of the chart as they must first be Special Summoned via their own procedure and thus cannot be Special Summoned via "Schwarzschild Infinity Dragon".

:I've changed the query to exclude some more monsters, but I don't actually know which monsters were in the original list incorrectly, so it's possible there are still some in the list that shouldn't be (and there may be some monsters that aren't listed but should be); if you spot any of them, please note them here, preferably with a brief explanation of why they shouldn't (or should) be in the list. <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>[[User talk:Dinoguy1000#top|☎ Dinoguy1000]]</sup></span> 08:33, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

::So far so good, from my once over. I'll let you know if I notice anything that's missing that should be there, but everything that's there seems like it should be.

::And just for completion's sake, the reason the example of "Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon" shouldn't have been on the list is because it says "Must first be Special Summoned (from your hand). . .". There was a Ritual Monster there originally, too. That was why I brought it up.
