[edit] Escaflowne

I am so sorry T-T I didn't realize that we had to tell you if we were going to make a new page T-T

Anyway I have (accidentally) started the new page, The Vision Of Escaflowne. I have been a huge fan of it and really wanted to make a page on it! So I have started it and was going to apply the characters and story later after I applied an image of it ... I have worked on wikipedia and other wiki's just I kinda thought it was opened to others ... I'm sorry.

Delete it if you want but I would like to continue it

Thanks for reading

Edit: Thank you And I just thought we could just delete the character's info on the page and set up another page since that story is complex and the characters are as well. I would like to start and make pages for the characters. Thank you and I will merge my info with the main page so you can delete it.

[edit] Logo

Hi Daniel! Great to see the problem with logos is finally solved! Kasuga is a very well known high level artist, Animepedia is very lucky to have him drawing the logo. Can you perhaps delete my old attempts now? It's no need for them anymore, and it's kinda embarrassing to see them next to the works of a real master. Thanks in advance! --Radaghast 14:12, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

lol, ok. If you want, you could vectorize images... I did create Image:Kasuga sample - vectorized.svg, but that's nothing but a trace done by Inkscape. You're far better than me at vectorizing, and having good vectorized images would be nice, as it makes it easy to change things, and makes them more scalable (^_^ Even though Kasuga's are already large enough in resolution). ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) ^(talk) Jan 6, 2008 _@ 14:29 ^(UTC)

[edit] Episode infobox

I'm starting to put up some episode summaries and noticed there wasn't an episode infobox. Could you make one, or do I have the ability to make one and just not know it? If so, how do I make one? Thnx :D Katie5000 02:44, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Re: well, none of the anime series on Wikipedia seem to have episode guides, but I looked at those for Family Guy and The Simpsons (which are obviously animated but not Japanese). Anyway, a basic episode infobox could have the following: episode name, original (i.e. Japanese) episode name (when applicable), image, image caption, episode number, production code (if applicable), original airdate, writer, director, and lastly the season or arc that the episode belongs to. I hope that's good enough. ^^; Katie5000 02:04, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Re: infobox--Exellent parameters.:) Y'know, it didn't occur to me to look in wikipedia's "templates" section, for some reason. But now I see they have quite a number of infoboxes. Anyway, this'll be good because the box will sort the page into the right category. Katie5000 03:16, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hello

Hello, I would like to contribute to this wikia, and perhaps become an administrator, any advice? Thanks. Cheers. DragonBallZ 16:56, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I know, I am also a user on wikipedia. Thanks. DragonBallZ 02:09, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Japanese anime wikia comes here

Hi,

I moved previous ja.gundam to ja.anime. Tommy6 is the adomin for ja.anime. I already made interlinks between ja.anime and others including en.anime. Please contact with him if you have a question about Japanese animation.

Thanks!

[edit] Wikia ACG

I am getting ready to adopt the manga wiki. Around a year ago, I saw you asked the founder if he wanted the wiki to become part of Wikia ACG. Are you still open for that? DragonBallZ 10:57, 15 February 2008 (EST)

Yes, the intention was to adopt the manga wiki into Wikia ACG at one point. The whole reason for rejecting any Manga content on here was to put that there instead of here. ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) ^(talk) Feb 16, 2008 _@ 05:01 ^(UTC)

So once I adopt it, it can become a part of Wikia ACG? DragonBallZ 05:11, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Yup, I can even help you adopt it if you want. Though, I need to fix a few bugs in my bots before I can sync over the templates, a number of other new Wikia ACG wiki are also missing them. ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) ^(talk) Feb 16, 2008 _@ 05:22 ^(UTC)

I put in a request with the staff to make me a sysop. I mentioned that if it becomes part of Wikia ACG, that you might also need to be a sysop. Perhaps it would be easier syncing if you were one? Would you like me to put in a request for you also? Because I will probably need help with it if you are willing? DragonBallZ 05:32, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Actually, sysop is a requirement. There are a number of things I need to edit to setup a Wikia ACG wiki that require sysop privileges. Another important one is a bot flag for AnimeBot, as that is the bot that would flood the rc when things are first synced. And Sysop for AnimeBotSys. But quite simply, all you need to do is request Bureaucrat status for yourself, and Bot status for AnimeBot. After that you can simply give me the Sysop and Bureaucrat rights with the Makesysop form, and I can give the other bot the rights it needs. ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) ^(talk) Feb 16, 2008 _@ 05:47 ^(UTC)

I did not request bureaucrat status, but once I here back from requesting sysop status, I will request bureaucrat status, and make you a bureaucrat. I do not know what time zone you live in, but I am going to bed now. Hopefully talk to you tomorrow. Cheers, and thanks for your help. DragonBallZ 05:54, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

I suppose they did not get my message through contacting them. I have asked Angela on her talk page. We should be able to start pretty soon. Sorry for the wait. DragonBallZ 02:41, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Looks like we are going to have to wait for now. DragonBallZ 14:01, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Vampire princess miyu

First TX for the helpful edits for the helpful edits to the article like flags template and the translation template i spent a 1 hour brainstorming how to port the wikipedia templates before giving up and implementing the methods i used.And TX for all the work you put in fixing my mistakes and omissions.And last but not least i TX you for explaining the WikiText parser thing.
However i do have a question about the subpage "Vampire_Princess_Miyu/Vampire_Princess_Miyu" i understand from my brief stay at wikipedia that subpages are not ok and that categories should be used instead because "the category system supports hierarchical organization while still allowing an article to belong to multiple categories",i don't claim that the view is the correct one however i want to understand the rational behind any decision.Be gentle I'm new. On a side note how can i bring wikiEd to animepedia --IngerAlHaosului 19:31, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Duble redirect

I have a question about the double redirect page Special:DoubleRedirects is it just for demonstration purposes(ex: This is how a double redirect looks like) or is it a list with problems to repair.--IngerAlHaosului 08:13, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] missing License and source information on image

the image is missing License and source information. Where is the missing license template?--IngerAlHaosului 08:41, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Post another message to my talkpage here about that. I'll ignore it for now and fix that in the morning, to late at night right now, need sleep. ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) ^(talk) Apr 10, 2008 _@ 09:06 ^(UTC)

[edit] Bot...

[edit] New Category and Template

I created a new category and a template to deal with images without copyright information.

• Category is [[Category:Images with unknown copyright status]]
• Template is Template:No license
• IngerAlHaosului 06:28, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

That doesn't actually fit the style used here. I'll probably move the category to a more consistent name, and make use of the box css classes, then tweak the template to fit our documentation format. ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) ^(talk) Apr 17, 2008 _@ 08:12 ^(UTC)

[edit] IRC

Could I get autovoiced on #wikia-acg? (MaximillionJames is my IRC nick) Also, does any of the wikis in Wikia ACG have a IRC Channel? (Narutopedia, yu-gi-oh, etc.) DragonBallZ 22:38, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

No, I will not autovoice anyone. I'm not even auto-oped, much less autovoiced. Voicing and Oping users is contradictory to the point of a wiki environment being open, and new users often avoid speaking to anyone with an op or a voice. And there is no functional reason for anyone to be voiced, the channel is not +m, in fact ChanServ is explicitly set to undo any +m that anyone applies. So no-one can set +m.

The Yu-Gi-Oh! Wiki does have it's own channel, and also a dueling channel. However the other wiki don't have one. I basically direct all wiki in the project to the #wikia-acg channel, and add in new channels whenever a wiki's topic becomes dominant enough inside the channel that it looks like the community is large enough to fit it's own channel without suffering from to much inactivity. ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) ^(talk) Apr 18, 2008 _@ 06:24 ^(UTC)

[edit] Redirects and yugioh's site id

Alright, no problem. One other thing, is there a problem with this or is it taking a while to apply itself? Animepedia's still listed as our site id on all the ACG stuff. -- Deltaneos 16:25, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

^_^ Whoops, rotfl...

|sailormoon=Sailor Moon Wiki
|sailormoon=Yu-Gi-Oh! Wiki

Heh, I managed to remember to change the id on everything, except the wiki name, heh...

Wait... Aww, ^_^ If the Sailor Moon Wiki were in sync, it would be calling itself the Yu-Gi-Oh! Wiki, *snickers*.

Fixed, and in the sync que. ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) ^(talk) Apr 18, 2008 _@ 22:09 ^(UTC)

[edit] Error i do not understand

When i lucked at the template i created before the Template:No license‎ there is an error i do not understand.instead of the image there is "Error creating thumbnail: (rsvg-convert:4439): libgnomevfs-WARNING **: Unable to create ~/.gnome2 directory: Permission denied

(rsvg-convert:4439): GLib-WARNING **: GError set over the top of a previous GError or uninitialized memory. This indicates a bug in someone's code. You must ensure an error is NULL before it's set.

[edit] Re: Flag images

"Hey, since you're uploading flag images. Do you feel like having me give you a few tips on how to clean up the image pages. Then tag them for Syncing? I should probably update my TagSync bot to do images instead of using the old ImageMirror bot. But it could potentially get flag images to finally be synced to all Wikia ACG wiki. ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Apr 23, 2008 @ 05:29"

• I have looked at all the image pages and with the exception of throws in the category Category:Candidates for Deletion (No license metadata) there are no unclean pages as for the images in the up mentioned category i will fix there license metadata an rationale next week.
• As fore the tag them for Syncing part i don't now what Syncing is or how it is done please explain what template to use or what you want me to do, i do not mind doing it manually there are only 190 images in total of witch only 23 are flags.--IngerAlHaosului 07:40, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] .hack//Legend of the Twilight in Other

Why is .hack//Legend of the Twilight classified in Other instead of series on the world page. And on side note are you telling me to change "episode ##" -> "01 The Fang Knows!" --IngerAlHaosului 07:09, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Is this what you mean by move episode, is the page name what you expected is it correct i must know in order to move on and do the rest.

http://anime.wikia.com/index.php?title=Vampire_Princess_Miyu%2FThe_Fang_Knows%21&diff=11955&oldid=11805

Regarding the 2 move pages server error thing how much time is little bit, in minuts,pls.--IngerAlHaosului 09:04, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

.hack//Legend of the Twilight is still classified in other i think that the // part is really braking your mini wiki design isn't there a way to force the software to treat the // as letter you know like Template:! is used to display |, making it that lets say @@ OR \\ or something like that. So the actual page name is ".hack@@Legend of the Twilight" or .hack\\Legend of the Twilight but the displayed name is ".hack//Legend of the Twilight"--IngerAlHaosului 10:49, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Tips

"Let's see...

   * The Dothack wiki is a Wikia wiki, so we can interwiki link to it with LINK TEXT, much cleaner than a url.
   * While nonexistant, the Anime names templates that Wikipedia has do serve a purpose. When you split the character list out into individual articles they contain data good for the infobox.
   * Don't directly use the prefix to refer to another page in the same world. Use ../ so from inside of the Hack world use ../ instead of Hack/, it's far more portable and does not break if we move world names.
   * For the different voice actors we use the  template, it serves as a future method of tagging the actors with links to their pages. 

   ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) May 13, 2008 @ 07:22 (UTC) "

Let's see... 1. I dont understand ?

* While nonexistant, the Anime names templates that Wikipedia has do serve a purpose. When you split the character list out into individual articles they contain data good for the infobox.

2. I agree but if you use ../ in article with have .hack// in the name you get Hack/.hack//Article name ex:Hack/.hack//Balmung. So to avoid this i use hack/, i am not stupid i just don't see a alternative.

 * Don't directly use the prefix to refer to another page in the same world. Use ../ so from inside of the Hack world use ../ instead of Hack/, it's far more portable and does not break if we move world names.

3. what shoud i do about this pages:
Image:Shugo_Kunisaki_head.jpg
Image:Rena_Kunisaki_head.jpg
Wath is the corect name
Kunisaki.JPG Image:Rena Kunisaki.JPG
[User:IngerAlHaosului]]e:Shugo Kunisaki.jpg Image:Shugo Kunisaki.jpg]
Wath is the corect name What is the corect licente and fair used

4. And what is it with

{{anime voices}}

template, animepedia doesn't have it and its redundant to the

{{Voice actors}}

template.

--IngerAlHaosului 09:07, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] anime voices

You wrote "anime voices and Voice actors have two different purposes, and accept two different types of inputs. The purpose of Voice actors is to link a name if it exists, and additionally you should notice that the first input is actually a 2 letter ISO code for language. This is because the template puts names inside of a span tag annotated with the lang attribute. This is useful for Japanese names as it can fix some Japanese words which may occasionally display wrong when in English mode."

i can't agree more, my problem is not with Voice actors my problem is with the "anime voices" template, the problem being THE TEMPLATE IS MISSING as in nonexistent

all you get is red text ex:

• Template:Anime voices(a link to a nonexistent template) instead of "Voiced by: Junko Minagawa (Japanese), Bryce Papenbrook (English)".

With the above mentioned facts in mind i assume that:

1. you didn't notice that the template didn't exist
2. you did notice and you are going to upload it

[edit] Character and episode lists

The problem with the current category listing is that categories only list alphabetically once you start adding characters or episodes from a second series people wont know what char or ep belongs in what series."Turning sections into links as you move sections into individual articles" is a good idea and sums up what i want i will do that.

You wrote: "Episodes are going to have plenty of semantic data applied to them, so we can nicely make the /Episodes pages output the various forms of titles for the episodes, filter by series, output episode number and even sort by that episode number."

I don't see any of this filters now sow i am assuming that this in the future, any TTI(time to implementation) you want to share? Because what i am talking about below is a temporary solution until you implement that semantic filter stuff, a temporary manually created list of episodes and characters sorted by series. With accent on the words Temporary and Manual

--IngerAlHaosului 10:11, 16 May 2008 (UTC) tx for re but i don't understand the mesage:
"^_^ I've simplified some of the linking issues for you. Instead of using {{Main}} to add a note with the main page for a section which is actually a sibling page. So instead of {{Main|../Characters/}} you only need {{MainS|Characters}}, and since it uses a new {{ROOTPAGENAME}} template I drafted up it won't have issues with those .hack pages. ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) ^(talk) May 15, 2008 _@ 12:29 ^(UTC)"

But after the Characters or episodes have there one individual pages don't we need a page that centralizes a the characters or episodes by series i ming the word page is greaten if you want specific character but there is no way of telling what character or episode belong to what series i was thinking of a centralized page like

.hack//Legend of the Twilight

• link to character page
• link to character page
• link to character page
• link to character page
• link to character page

.hack//Liminality

• link to character page
• link to character page
• link to character page
• link to character page

.hack//Roots

• link to character page
• link to character page
• link to character page
• link to character page

This can be applied to episodes to.
