Facebook Concerns
I understand your concerns and the admins don't need to worry about a FB account until you guys come to a consensus. So what we will do is create a One Piece Wiki Page on Facebook and we can manage the wall posts (if you're worried about vandalism) so only Wikia's posts regarding One Piece will be featured. Of course comments will be enabled so the community can participate but we will monitor it closely so any spammers will be deleted.

I've checked with other wikis that have FB and they told me that there are no issues with vandalism/FB/wikis. Mostly what they do is run contests, polls, trivia for the community so people who like One Piece and participate and check out the wiki.

I'll also repost on the blog so everyone else can read it. I know you have other concerns so feel free to ask!

Kate.moon

It is difficult to pinpoint where the vandalism stems from but no wiki has had additional vandalism once FB was implemented. Also if you search One Piece Wiki on FB, it takes you directly to One Piece Wiki already; I don't think more people will necessarily vandalize the the wiki once a page is created.

Hope this helps! Kate.moon 22:24, March 23, 2011 (UTC)

Dont you think we should move the "discussion" to the suggestion forums? I think this a bit too serious for a blog "discussion". This might even end in a admin / or community vote. 23:32, March 23, 2011 (UTC)

@Jinbe and @DancePowderer

We'll respect your decision on FB page if you'd like to discuss it further/put it to a vote. Just let me know what it is :)

Facebook
Hello, I'm .Seshat., one of the D.Gray-man wiki and Facebook admins. I noticed that you had some questions about the wiki/Facebook link, and I hope you don't mind if I answer in lieu of Nick and ProGamer...

Admins who control the Facebook of a wiki do not have their names revealed unless they choose to include it in the message. The only ones who are 'aware' of identity on Facebook are the admins, and they can only recognize fellow admins. You can have more than one admin on a wiki's Facebook, but whenever any of the admins make a comment on said Facebook while they are logged in, the message is said to be left by "*Insert Facebook Name* Wiki, not any particular person. Though the comments will also appear on your personal wall if you have Liked your wiki's Facebook, they will not display the name of the person in particular who wrote them, just that they're from the "*Insert Facebook Name* Wiki".

Like you, I was concerned about privacy when I first became the D.Gray-man Wiki Facebook admin, but the only ones who will know your identity are your fellow One Piece Facebook admins, if you choose to have more than one.

There is also no connection between your wiki username and your Facebook one; no one will be able to tell which wiki user you are unless you post it right there on the wall. This applies to Facebook admins and regular users alike.

As for vandalism... ^.^' Vandalism is an ongoing issue, no matter how public you make your wiki or how much you try to hide it. Personally, I can say I have not seen an exponential increase in vandalism since we made our Facebook page, but I have a zero tolerance approach to vandalism and immediately block anyone who does malicious, outrageous things. Actually, we've had more and more people making accounts lately, but few of them actually do anything.

I think you'd be safe in making a One Piece Facebook~! It allows you to make public messages to all who are aware of it in a way that the wiki does not allow (after all, not everyone reads wiki blog posts. ^.^'), and it can hep get people more involved with any wiki events you decide to host.

I hope this helped, and good luck with the decision making~! .Seshat. 00:38, March 24, 2011 (UTC)

You're very welcome~. .Seshat. 01:01, March 24, 2011 (UTC)

So, is the facebook page going to happen or not? Just wondering what the current status on that decision was? Panda 13:40, April 9, 2011 (UTC)

re:Facebook
Well, I think it's okay to have the facebook, if only to give it a try. If anything bad happens with it (excess vandalism, annoying messaging, invasion of privacy, etc.), we can request a cancellation. Yatanogarasu 05:33, March 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * And how about this (I don't know if it's possible): we give users the option of whether they want to be connected to the facebook network or not, meaning like Jinbe doesn't want to be part of it, so he can cut his account from the facebook connection if he chooses. Similar to us wanting to show our user's contributions or hide it from others. Yatanogarasu 05:37, March 24, 2011 (UTC)

Re:Can you help me?
Hi DancePowderer, of course i can help you, the best thing what you can do is to create a page about this wikia titled: One Piece Wikia. To get the widget on your main page is easy, I can give you the link were it is on the D. Gray Man wikia, look right here. It must be titled with FacebookWidget. Then put the connection code into the MediaWiki page and it is finish, then you must put FacebookWidget to your main page and there you have it. If you are considered that editors at this wikia are known is not a big deal, if they are not saying their name and all and seeing at this wikia you will have a lot of likes so i hope it helped and if you need any questions feel free again to ask me ^_^. ProGamerP9 (Userpage ⁝ Talk) 14:49, March 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * I read you message also a lot clear and i must say that after i launched the facebook on the D. Gray Man wikia the vandalism etc. has been lowered. We have only some issues with false information and fan art images. But at the other hand we do not recognize the contributers that are contributing at our wikia's so thier secret can be save on that after all, i hope it helped. ProGamerP9 (Userpage ⁝ Talk) 14:54, March 24, 2011 (UTC)

Re:Thank You
Well there is no need to thank me, I'm always happy to help someone, need any questions further then ask me and i will help you. ProGamerP9 (Userpage ⁝ Talk) 15:24, March 24, 2011 (UTC)

Mainpage Suggestions
Hey,

One Piece Wiki is obviously doing really well and I love all the work you guys have put in; I was wondering how you felt about a few small suggestions for the mainpage?

I'd be happy to implement the changes so you guys don't have to worry about it; they'd be mostly small things, like changing the poll, maybe making some Top Ten Lists, and putting more info from the mainpage into links so it looks more streamlined.

Let me know what you think!

Kate.moon 19:06, March 25, 2011 (UTC)

Hey,

Well the poll would definitely be something like that: Who is your favorite character from X, or which chapter is your favorite? If you like, I can set it to a vote so you guys can decide what the next poll should be.

For links, I thought that perhaps the welcome box under the mainpage slider could be taken down a tad; we could link it to a Rules of One Piece Wiki or FAQ.

You guys have some great interactive things on the mainpage and I'd like to keep it up; I just thought maybe moving some to a page like "On This Day" which is hard to keep up on a daily basis would make some of the other features like the poll or Featured Article more relevant. :)

Kate.moon 20:17, March 25, 2011 (UTC)

Hey there, A couple of things on the mainpage: I thought that "On This Day" could be removed since it's really difficult to update; I think one of the admins reverted the change. If you feel that it's essential I understand but I think unless it's updated every day, it's not really a necessary part of the mainpage.

Also, do you prefer maintaining the templates on the mainpage or would it be an option to move the information directly so you can edit without templates?

Thanks! Kate.moon 20:06, March 28, 2011 (UTC)

Do you guys have a preference for the next poll? If you'd like to pick I can just update it for you.

Kate.moon 20:16, March 28, 2011 (UTC)

Its simplier then it looks
Just cheat;


 * Archive 1

Replace my user name with your own, the number changes per Archive (2, 12, 70, 500, etc).

Start a new page via redlinking... Basically;


 * Archive 1

That. (edit page to see the code). One-Winged Hawk 21:32, March 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * Also "/" in that code indicates you are making a sub-page of another, in this case your talk page. All my sandbox are created by "user:XXX" and "/sandbox" on the end, "User:XXXX/sandbox". Sub pages? Their like a way of creating a page that is part of another page without having to have the information on that page. One-Winged Hawk 21:34, March 25, 2011 (UTC)

re:What do you think?
I like it, she sure knows what we need and how to make our wikia look nicer. Thanks, Kate.Moon. Yatanogarasu 22:01, March 25, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks guys! Glad you like the ideas ;) Just leave me a message once the admins are done talking it over and I'd be happy to get it started!

Kate.moon 00:12, March 26, 2011 (UTC)

Great! You'll probably notice small changes over the next few days. Let me know if you have suggestions for the next poll also...

I know there's been some issue with the FB account...did you guys come to a consensus? If you want, we can do it on a trial basis for a couple of weeks to see how you like it. I can set it up and get it going with new articles, trivia, whatever you want and if you don't like it, I'd be happy to suspend it. No pressure ;)

Kate.moon 00:20, March 26, 2011 (UTC)

re:Adding Someone
Good idea, we should make one of them a temporary admin, to fill in the for the two others. Also, if these new temporary admins are good and want to keep their position, how about we give them the option to keep the position? Five admins won't hurt, and if including Mugiwara Franky, that makes six, but still good. As a reminder, the other nominees are: Joekido, Xinyingho, Buh6173 (The Pope). We can select one of them in case Klobis and Angel (One-Winged Hawk) don't want to be admins. Yatanogarasu 04:16, March 26, 2011 (UTC)

Last Appearance Template
I like to ask for your opinion: should we include a "last appearance" in the infoboxes for ships and weapons? Like this template: ; I made it about eight months ago. I think now we should remove it, since "last appearance" seems speculative, as the ship or weapon (though may be destroyed) could make a reappearance in a flashback or something. You know Oda. I just like the opinion from a fellow admin. Thanks. Yatanogarasu 18:54, March 26, 2011 (UTC)

Okay, then it's okay to remove it. Thanks for your opinion. Yatanogarasu 21:29, March 26, 2011 (UTC)

sorry
excuse me i didn't know he was Firefist553 15:01, March 27, 2011 (UTC)

ok sorry to bother u Firefist553 15:13, March 27, 2011 (UTC)

Redirects
Can you give me a list of all the redirects? I like to determine which ones are too inappropriately named, and should be deleted. Also, I was thinking should we put the Category:Redirects for them? Yatanogarasu 17:56, March 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yup, redirects as in "Luffy" → "Monkey D. Luffy", "Kokutou Yoru" → "Kokuto Yoru", etc. Is there anyway of finding a list or category for them? Yatanogarasu 18:29, March 27, 2011 (UTC)

Yes, I see a ton... so the reasonable thing to do is to categorize them all to keep track, right? Can we call in PX-Bot to handle this? He did great work, and he can categorize every one of these redirects, so one click, and we got a list of every last one of them, rather than going to search them in the database the hard way. Also, once he's done, I can check which redirects are inappropriate and delete those. What do you think? Yatanogarasu 19:48, March 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * So, yeah, I just asked sff9 to set PX-Bot the job, and may take a while, but once we do this, we can keep track much easier, and delete what we don't like. I mean, a redirect with an inappropriate name is just not right, and if we don't categorize it and keep track, then we can't locate it and delete it. Yatanogarasu 19:55, March 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * I mean, how would you like it if some vandal created a redirect link with some highly unacceptable and inappropriate nickname for an article (e.g. unofficially nicknaming Gray Terminal "dumpville" just because it's a dump)? We can't locate it by normal means, and new editors may find it confusing and think Oda made the name official (even if they cannot locate the source) because we don't know the link's existence. Yatanogarasu 19:59, March 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * Another reason to keep track: for Category:Conjectural titled articles|unofficially named articles that are worth keeping, once an official name comes out (i.e. Demalo Black, Cocoa, and Drip), the unofficial names (i.e. Fake Luffy, Fake Robin, and Fake Sanji respectively) becomes obsolete, and should be deleted due to being unofficial (by Oda's standards). However, people are too lazy to mark these titles for deletion, and instead just keep them as redirects once they moved the page. By keeping track of all redirects, we can delete these unsightly unofficial redirects, a lot easier. Yatanogarasu 20:12, March 27, 2011 (UTC)

Well, thanks for your opinion, you're the only fellow admin I can rely here, with Yazzy MIA and Deva coming in occasionally at best. Now that Klobis is an admin, I think we should let him stay as one, rather than temporary, since Deva only comes in from time-to-time, to compensate. Yatanogarasu 20:17, March 27, 2011 (UTC)

Musicians (Real Life) + Voice Actors and Seiyu
Should we really keep the articles Folder 5 and Shiro Hamaguchi, musicians from real life? They don't seem too related to One Piece at best, and the latter one is too stubby. Can't we just merge them under Musician under a subsection "Real Life Musician" or something? Also, what are we going to do about all the Voice Actors and Seiyu, I thought we were gonna merge them all under one page, or even delete them? Are we going through with that or what? Yatanogarasu 20:26, March 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * Like I said, it's better to simply delete the voice actors and seiyu. I mean, there are some other seiyu and voice actors that have red links: Masato Hirano, who voices one of the Gorosei, for example. We can simply erase all these unnecessary pages. If we keep them, then this wikia will practically become Wikipedia; our information is on One Piece, not voice actors. Yatanogarasu 22:04, March 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * Deleting them, we can do it slowly but steadily, but merging them is indeed troublesome. Yatanogarasu 22:05, March 27, 2011 (UTC)

=== Fansubs and Scanlation Groups === In a related matter, should we also merge all the fansubs and scanlator groups into two pages (Fansub and or something)? Just for similar reasons as Voice Actors and Seiyu. Yatanogarasu 20:30, March 27, 2011 (UTC)

Facebook pages etc
Hi Dance Powder,

I wouldn't say that the page has given us any extra trouble vandalism wise, but that's not to say it's decreased either. We still have trouble with vandals, people putting useless info, pure speculation, fanfiction the usual kind of stuff that everyone deals with, however it's nice to be able to announce new news and to get new people interested in working on the projects rather than just spellchecking and making minor edits. If you want the full info talk to admin .seshat. who looks after the FB site at the moment. Wolfwood (Shoot)  22:10, March 27, 2011 (UTC)

Kaigun to Navy
Hey, I just wanted to discuss the editing on Marineford here instead of getting into an edit war. I understand that we use Marine on the wiki, but you can't say that the literal translation is Marine and not Navy when the opposite is true. For example, on the Marine page, it says "In the end, it is important to remember while Navy or Marines can be used as the correct term for the group, using "Marine" as a direct English translation of the Japanese is incorrect." Even if Oda says Marines is the correct name of the group, the literal translation of Kaigun would still be Navy.

By the way, in which guidebook did he say that it should be Marines? GamingBuddha 22:41, March 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes, I got that he meant the organization's name to be Marines, but either way, the literal translation of Kaigun would be Navy. I'm not arguing to call it the Navy on the wiki, but it is incorrect to say that Kaigun Honbu literally means Marine Headquarters. Also this isn't a major change since this is in accordance with the policy of the wiki. We refer to the organization as the Marines, but we still acknowledge the fact that Navy is a more accurate translation of Kaigun as you saw from that quote from the Marines page. GamingBuddha 00:53, March 28, 2011 (UTC)

Would this be a viable change for the page?
 * Marineford was the main headquarters of the Marines Kaigun Honbu (海軍本部).

Now it states Marine Headquarters as the real meaning and Navy Headquarters as the literal translation.GamingBuddha 21:03, March 29, 2011 (UTC)

Re:Tildes
Hi DP, Thanks for replying me but the reason I asked Yazzy the no. of tildes SHE uses in her sign is because I've noticed that the timestamp is within the template that she uses as her sign : using the normal 4 tildes would make the date to be printed twice !


 * Thanks anyway !

Kate.Moon's validity
Kate.Moon created this Did You Know page, not as a template or blog, but as a normal article page. I tried to mark it for deletion, but Pandawarrior reverted it, and Kate.Moon said it links to the main page. Do you trust her as she's from the main Wikia, or does this page seem a little off to you? Also, she created three that serves not as blog or informative article, but as an article created for editors and fans voting; that's not what we do on this wikia, we just use a poll system within articles, right? Should we complain to Kate.Moon? Yatanogarasu 08:15, March 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * P.S. please give me your opinion on whether we should delete all the seiyu and voice actors pages? I be glad to do it all myself if it's too much of a hassle for you to delete them all. My reasons because they are not too related to One Piece, and some actors such as Masato Hirano (who voices one of the Gorosei) is a red link, while others are not, meaning this is inconsistent. Merging them is a hassle, and keeping them is quite unreasonable, so just mass-delete. Yatanogarasu 08:15, March 29, 2011 (UTC)

The reason I asked you first is that I don't wanna risk my position by complaining to an official and getting into a losing battle that may cost me a lot, if I don't have enough to argue my case. Yatanogarasu 08:18, March 29, 2011 (UTC)

Then as I suggest, just delete all the voice actors/seiyu. Wikipedia can provide more information than we do. Yatanogarasu 17:19, March 29, 2011 (UTC)

So, should I start deleting (I am NOT merging) the voice actors and seiyu pages? If the SBS talks about them, we can use external links. Yatanogarasu 06:08, March 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * Okay, but one thing: I'll be doing this at a rather slow rate, so if you like, feel free to help delete one or two from time-to-time. Yatanogarasu 06:20, March 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * On second thought, never mind, I'm working fine on this, so feel free to just focus on the Alabasta business. Yatanogarasu 05:20, March 31, 2011 (UTC)

Other Animes ?
Hey DP : I see that u are online : Just asking : do u watch any other animes ?

Arabasta → Alabasta
Hi,

I'm currently working on a program for the bot to make global renamings, as Yatanogarasu asked me to replace every "kāshī" and "super-human" by "kashi" and "superhuman". Once the program is done, changing all remaining "arabasta" to "alabasta" will be piece of cake. So, you don't have to do it by hand, if that bothers you. Just saying! sff9 (talk) 08:46, March 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * OK, as you wish! It changes nothing for me, I just wanted to inform you! sff9 (talk) 15:12, March 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hey DP! On the page for the Kingdom of Alabasta is a template that's still called "Arabasta Citizens" and I don't know how to edit those :-/ can you take care of it? Panda 21:31, April 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * Alright...We should be pretty much done...At least I cant find Arabasta anywhere anymore...Panda 22:58, April 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * I took care of the chapters in the Alabasta arc, and, as for the Seiyus, I think I'm going to wait to see what SFF9 has to say about that as that does seem reather tedious ;-) Panda 09:42, April 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * The "favourite movie" template still has Arabasta instead of Alabasta. Could you take care of it ;-) ? Panda 12:41, April 9, 2011 (UTC)

one piece x toriko manga
Hi DancePowder. I want to contribute to the Wikia but i have no much time. I have to add a page with the 2nd Crossover of One Piece: One Piece x Toriko. You can watch it at http://mangastream.com/read/one_piece_x_toriko/46906791/1.

This is the 2nd Crossover.

This will be released in the same Shonen of One Piece 619.

This is a crossover of 19 pages.

Thx for the reply and sorry for my poor english

One Piece Crossover 2
Hi. I have finished to add the 2nd One Piece Crossover. Please check for spelling corrections. I'm Italian and my english is not perfect.

Yes, i can try. But I don't know the Toriko characters! :-D However, i will try!

corrections
Edited... If you know Toriko, please only check the names. In this page http://mangastream.com/read/one_piece_x_toriko/46906791/16 you'll see 5 of characters of Toriko.

Total: 9 characters of One Piece are correct.

Total: 7 characters of Toriko. Check only the names, please. I don't know Toriko... :-D

Ok thx. I will try to add details to the page.Nicolo&#39; Affronti 17:17, March 31, 2011 (UTC)

Mass deletion
Alright, I'm making good progress in deleting all the seiyu and voice actors. Now, should I also delete the Category:Screenwriters|screenwriters,, Category:Anime Industry|anime industry, companies, and such real world life articles? Yatanogarasu 08:30, April 1, 2011 (UTC)

Akira Toriyama
Should I delete/merge Akira Toriyama with Dragon Ball? Toriyama isn't too related to One Piece altogether, and quite frankly, neither is Dragon Ball, so why not just delete both? So what if they had a crossover once or twice, so did Rurouni Kenshin and some other series via Jump Super Stars and Jump Ultimate Stars, and we didn't create pages for these other series. Gin Tama had a Crocodile look alike, but we didn't create the "Gin Tama" series page within this Wikia. Yatanogarasu 20:57, April 1, 2011 (UTC)

Delete Dragon Ball too? Also, should we consider merging all the One Piece international versions and fansub? Yatanogarasu 21:12, April 1, 2011 (UTC)

Another somewhat related matter: should I merge Chiaki Inaba (Oda's wife) into Oda's page, under a subsection? Her page is far too short and stubby to be on its own, but may credit to its own page if someone can add more info. Problem is: do we have enough info to add? Yatanogarasu 21:22, April 1, 2011 (UTC)

Invitation to new forum
Please participate in the new Forum:Delete or Not: Super-Human Speed, as well as invite others do so. Thanks. Yatanogarasu 07:59, April 3, 2011 (UTC)

Main Page Mess Up
Roronoa zoro told me, the Main Page is messed up: the featured article is somehow warped. I don't know how to fix it, can you please help? Yatanogarasu 20:37, April 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I think it's a glitch at best, maybe you should ask User:Roronao Zoro: he was the one who said it look messed up. Yatanogarasu 23:01, April 5, 2011 (UTC)

Main Page fixed
Dont worry I fixed the problem : the table in the featured-article template was not closed properly : It's fixed now.

That wasn't much : the problem was rather simple : "|}" was missing in the FA template.

Featured Article about Luffy, Zoro, and tabbed characters
About characters who have their sections tabbed, like Luffy and Zoro (such as personality, abilities, etc.), I think we should NOT include their sub-pages as featured articles. What I am talking about is Monkey D. Luffy/Abilities and Powers, Roronoa Zoro/Personality and Relationships, etc. These are categorized as featured articles as well, when in truth only the main pages Monkey D. Luffy and Roronoa Zoro should be the featured articles. Please give me your opinion, so we can decide whether to change it or not. Yatanogarasu 08:15, April 6, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Op toriko episode
Ah..Thank you...I kept checking that site the last couple of days but they hadn't uploaded it yet...Panda 19:52, April 6, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Featured Article
Well actually, I was thinking about doing him quite a while back, but I noticed his article is sort of short. I don't mind though... what do you think? Oh, and also, as long as it's long, Featured Articles can also be anything like places, weapons, etc. Anything come to mind? (FYI, I'm pretty sure Marineford was already taken a while back.) 22:08, April 7, 2011 (UTC)

Alright then. 23:01, April 7, 2011 (UTC)

Wikia Logo
Hi, last night, when I was going through the unused files and deleting them all, I may have accidentally deleted the Wikia Logo, seeing it was unused. Now, I can't seem to retrieve and un-delete the file. Please help. Yatanogarasu 17:19, April 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, the problem is, I can't find it, and can't remember it. Is there a special page where I can locate everything I deleted or something? Yatanogarasu 17:39, April 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * No, not that one. I noticed something: whenever I enter this wikia, there is a Straw Hat Pirates logo next to the website's tab (if you're using the Firefox and Internet Explorers' tabs). But now, there is only a "W", as certain other less-organized Wikia have. I think I may have deleted that logo, please help me restore it. Also, I already restored the other files, so this one is the problem now. Yatanogarasu 18:13, April 8, 2011 (UTC)

Alright, everything is fixed now. Yatanogarasu 18:29, April 8, 2011 (UTC)

Hey bud, can u please gimme the code that is used in the community portal ( u have access to it since u are an admin )...I'm intrested in how the latest forums show up automatically. Thanks !


 * First : Thanks; I saw the code, it was very helpful ( I wanted to use it on another wikia ) . But I dont think the code can be spoiled , because only admins can edit it . *_* ; thanks anyway !


 * I'm talking about this page : MediaWiki:Community-corner .. are you ?_?

Links in the gallery
Hi! I've a problem: if I add an external link in the caption of an image in a gallery and if that link include the character "?" than it will mess up the gallery. Here an example:

This is the code of a normal gallery:

If I add the link with the "?" (the link is an example) like this:

this is the result:

How can I resolve this? Well, it's actually not a big problem, but if there is a way to solve this than I'd like to know. leviathan_ 89  19:39, April 12, 2011 (UTC)

Thanx, but for an external link the double bracket doesn't work ( produce [link]). Anyway the problem is only in the gallery caption because  produce Luffy which works. Guess it can't be helped. Thanx again. leviathan_ 89  21:35, April 12, 2011 (UTC)

World Government ≠ Oligarchy
Hey DP, some ip added the trivia about the World Government being an oligarchy, which I disagree with a lot (I've left a couple of reasons on the WG talk page), but I didn't want to take it out just yet. Since you edited it, I thought you might have some arguments for keeping it ;-) Panda 15:35, April 13, 2011 (UTC)

Raw Covers
On this wikia we prefer raw cover, right? So is it ok to create a category like "English Covers" where we can put all the old covers still in English so we can easly look for them if we find good raws? If it's ok (and the name too), I can create the category. leviathan_ 89  13:34, April 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * I agree : @L89 : Good thinking.

Fansubs
Hey dance, I thought I'd get it over with and start to merge the Fansubs pages when I noticed that I don't know the proper procedure for that. Do I just Copypaste the content into the new mainpage and format it a little bit or? If that's it, I've done that. Also the pages need a lot of work as most of them were quite outdated, do you mind taking a look over it?Panda 19:29, April 14, 2011 (UTC)

Just a little bump for attention, as I'm about to go afk for 1 1/2 weeks and I don't want to leave it as it is... Happy Easter Panda 15:47, April 16, 2011 (UTC)

Image Glitches
We have image glitch problems again. As Leviathan 89 said, he had trouble uploading pictures for RAW covers, and when I uploaded a new File:Hiken.gif, it didn't seem to work. What should we do? Start uploading new files and delete old ones? This would ruin record keeping purposes. Yatanogarasu 20:40, April 15, 2011 (UTC)

I don't know how to do that, I just used one that doesn't have a watermark, but that isn't showing up. Yatanogarasu 22:11, April 15, 2011 (UTC)

Answers Wiki
I saw Fairy Tail wiki has an answers wiki where fans ask a question and the ones who know answer them just like blogs, not only that It will help new One Piece fans but also provide the editors to keep busy with something useful. So what do you think? 15:43, April 16, 2011 (UTC)

re: Reverie
Hmmm.. never heard of such a word.. where does it appear? The context may help me. Thanks. 20:12, April 16, 2011 (UTC)

Oh, that. I checked the raw scans and how do I say this.. well there are "subs" next to hard kanji words so that little kids can read it (there are 3 alphabets in japan) or to show how to read the word correctly, right? Well the subs for the raw says "レヴェリー" (Reverie) and the actual word next to the subs say "世界会議" which basically means world conference, so I'm guessing it's some sort of international conference called Reverie. This is just a guess, but remember when Dalton had a flashback about wapol and cobra in a conference talking about how dangerous Dragon is? When Wapol hurt young Vivi but she said that it's okay and that it was partly her fault because she knew that if she started crying, a war may happen? Ugh, I tried to find that scene in the manga but I could only find a small clip of it so here's the link. (4th panel) Well anyway, the conference where King Cobra and Ex-king Wapol were participating-- MAYBE that conference was the "Reverie". Not sure. 20:44, April 17, 2011 (UTC)

Naw, it's just a speculation at the moment... let's just wait and watch for the moment. 20:05, April 18, 2011 (UTC)

hi DP, I'm just asking if u have seen an anime called Airgear ?

Redlink
There is a red link in the site news which I cannot change. Just saying. Thanks-- 03:15, April 19, 2011 (UTC)

Ah never mind, it was just red text, but it's sort of disturbing so maybe it should be fixed? Haha Dunno 12:59, April 19, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Kadahl/Kadar
Errrm is it just me? I can't seem to find the Kadar page; it just a redirect. The raw scans are not out yet so I cannot tell which is more accurate-- yet. Maybe Klobis may know. Either ask him or wait a little more. Sorry for the inconvenience > < 17:47, April 20, 2011 (UTC)

My leaving ?
Hi, I'm telling this only to u and Youn , I infact am not leaving ; I'm just playing a prank to bust u guys ( Yes I sound childish , but it's fun :) ! ) .Dont tell anybody, I thought of keeping this a suspense for a couple of days , but looks like they're ready to build my grave ! .. so I'll tell this to everyone by tomorrow !.

chat requested
I sure you are aware of the new chat feature on wikias ; I have requested a chat feature on this wikia also, then I realized that I must have spoken to the admins first , so is it alright or should I remove the request ?--

Banning Fizzyman4life
I already warned Fizzyman4life not to upload images carelessly twice. Do you think it warrants a banning now that it's his third offense, considering what he did on Spandam's page? Yatanogarasu 17:01, April 23, 2011 (UTC)

Ban template :
Hey, Is it OK if we design a template which requests users to be banned ; 'cause you know we can use the forum for those users whose ban is somewhat questionable ; .. but for those users who deserve a ban without a question, it's really hard to ban 'em using a forum --

Just for Curiosity
I visit some other wikias and they all have badges, just for curiosity, why don't we have? 19:20, April 24, 2011 (UTC)

Don't know, it's like when you edit a page for first time you earn a badge something like newcomer, but anyway... 19:31, April 24, 2011 (UTC)

Hey, I dont know if I'm inturrupting , but : Badges are very dumb :( .. most of the established wikis have removed 'em :)

Mass categorisation ?
Please tell me if there is any mass categorization needed .. I now run a bot ( it's completely tested on my test wiki .. so, no mistakes will take place :) )--

Licensing
Just for the record, what is the license for images from manga (like covers or panels) or anime screenshots? I usually use the  license. leviathan_ 89  12:33, April 26, 2011 (UTC)

Already done in the past. Just hid the information in a redirect. Now, with slight renaming, I got the page running. Yatanogarasu 05:49, April 27, 2011 (UTC)

Ban
Can you ban http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/62.63.161.3 this dude? All he ever does is insult people. No reason to keep him around. And maybe a warning for http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/112.201.139.208 him too because he's starting on the same path. Panda 14:44, April 27, 2011 (UTC)

Logia
Hi DP, shall I move the category "Category:Logia" to "Logia Devilfruits"

Klobis and Renaming
I've noticed this a lot but Klobis almost never gives reasons to moving articles. For instance the move from Magura to Magra had no reason and only seemed so he could put in speculation about the novel. Also he moved the Jyabara article while ignoring the discussion on the talk page just because he thinks he is right. SeaTerror 16:52, April 28, 2011 (UTC)

re:Figuring Out Names
I agree, though should we figure this out via the forum instead of a blog? I thought blogs were used for fan-fictions and theories instead. Though I hope things work out for using real names, we should be prepared to do the polls if it doesn't. Thanks for your suggestion. Yatanogarasu 16:13, April 29, 2011 (UTC)

Ban Request
Can you ban this new user called Fire Fist Alex? He's going crazy on the site pole sections if you look at his contributions. Thanks. 20:04, April 29, 2011 (UTC)

Okay wait a second, a user told me to confirm if this guy meant harm... I will report the results later... but while you're at it, ban the john giant vandal. Thanks again. 20:27, April 29, 2011 (UTC)

zoro bounty
I uploaded it. 23:34, April 29, 2011 (UTC)

re:What should be done?
Well, it's our job as admins to warn his behavior, and since we already did that in the past, he seems to be adamant in thinking he is always right, so we should ban him for maybe a month. How long do you think? Because an old editor, who was once good but turned to insulting people, was banned for life. Long story short, I suggest banning him, he's been warned enough. Yatanogarasu 19:15, April 30, 2011 (UTC)

Yes, well can you do the honors, since you were the one suggesting on doing something about of SeaTerror (yes, I suggested banning, but only in response). Oh, and do have a talk with SeaTerror, he's complaining to me now about this ban, ranting about fairness and he only argued with Klobis. Yatanogarasu 19:25, April 30, 2011 (UTC)

You can see what I said on Yatanogarasu's talk page. I just now posted on Klobis' talk page about it. What I don't get is why it would be a month long ban for arguing about that. SeaTerror 19:36, April 30, 2011 (UTC)

front page
on the front page, there is a spelling mistake. it says orginal instead of original down near the bottom when it is talking about related sites. thanks! Jack789


 * Actually Jack you could have done it yourself, as it was in a template ( unprotected )

ST
Hi DP, have ya really banned ST ?--


 * Thanks for the reply :) .. do you want me to talk to ST about this or are you gonna make the forum ?

Banning Fizzyman4life Part 2
Yeah, remember when I said to banning Fizzy4life? Yeah, he just made a very insulting move on my user talk page, you can see it on his user contributions. I banned him for one month, and this is the second time I banned him, but I want to ban him permanently for what he did to my page (again, very insulting). Do you think I should change the ban to permanent? Read the last contribution he made and please give me your opinion for his punishment. Thanks. Yatanogarasu 09:17, May 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * I know that as an admin, we should be able to make these decisions on our own, but I do remember the three-strikes rule or something like that, but I think that this offense is too much for that. Just want your opinion. Yatanogarasu 09:19, May 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * To add, frankly, he's been uploading junk files and inserting/changing/erasing information inappropriately. I gave him a rude insult when I activated the ban, because I think he deserved it. So please don't judge me when you read what I wrote on the comment along with the ban log. Yatanogarasu 09:23, May 1, 2011 (UTC)

How do I ban him permanently? I don't see that option for him, I only see 1 year at most. Yatanogarasu 17:48, May 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks, I tried to type it once, but didn't work (maybe I used a capital "I" for indefinite that time). Well, he's out of our lives. Oh, while on the subject on banning, if you happen to permanently ban a registered user (only the ones with an account, not unregistered ones), can you please put on the said user's user page, on the first line, to indicate they are blocked for good? We're trying to keep track. Yatanogarasu 18:29, May 1, 2011 (UTC)

Image Licenses Category
I'll ask you the same thing.

Real Name Forum Voting
Okay, assuming they aren't too busy to not vote, I mean, two weeks and they still haven't voted. And who knows, some other voters may pop up, equaling the votes again. But in any case, we'll wait this third week out. Yatanogarasu 18:32, May 1, 2011 (UTC)

Mass merging?
Okay, well I was looking around the wiki and clicking the Random Page feature, and noticed that there are just way too many stubs. (Again) Stubs as in 1~2 sentences, no picture, The End. Most of these stubs are coming from the data books so shouldn't we just merge them with the page of the data book they each come from rather than make a page for every single one? It's a large process but.. it doesn't really have any cons does it? We can make the data book articles much longer, and erase all the single sentence stubs, make redirects to the data book page. We can always use the Parent Tab template in the databook page too. Any ideas? 18:53, May 1, 2011 (UTC)

Fizzyman4life
Yeah, he returned with a new user name User:Fizzyman5life. Should I just ban him and prevent account creation or give him a second chance, like he so-call begged? Technically, we should ban him for abusing multiple accounts, but I want to ask for advice. Yatanogarasu 23:41, May 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * I think we gotta ban him for a week - he has apologized .. so his ban can expire after a week :)

re:Worst Case Scenario
Hm, I haven't really thought much about that, since I thought within this or next week at best would produce a final result. But if a tie happens two more times, then I guess my plan is to not count the votes of the editors who have less than 100 edits and is here less than 6 months: according to SeaTerror, only editors who have more than these criteria can vote in such polls. But if that seems unfair, my second plan is rally all the admins and see how they feel about this: if a majority of the admins agree with one idea, then we go with that one. If you have any ideas, please let me know, we do value fairness and equality. Yatanogarasu 07:28, May 2, 2011 (UTC)

One Piece International
Hey dp, if you take a look over the One Piece International pages you'll see that a lot of them have links to youtube and links to sites where you can watch dubs in the respective languages. I thought that was against our policy generally or is it different for the international pages? --Panda 10:25, May 2, 2011 (UTC)

re:Site News
That sounds nice, but more like "On this day" on the Main Page, should we consider putting the manga chapter release date on the main page instead of the Site News? Yatanogarasu 17:51, May 2, 2011 (UTC)

re:Trivia revamp
Sure, we should start a forum. But does he really need permission to start one? It's not like starting a forum is the same as adding unorthodox information to a page without authorization. Yatanogarasu 20:03, May 2, 2011 (UTC)

Ah, I did not really ask for permission, but thanks anyway :). I thought if both see a formal thread coming, the Merry "issue" would be sorted (till we possibly revamped the trivia guideline). I will create that thread later tonight, thanks for your input (both of you) 20:16, May 2, 2011 (UTC)

Here we go Forum:Trivia guidelines - confirmation issues(?) and possible revamp 00:13, May 3, 2011 (UTC)

clock:
Hi DP, please check out this wiki : here --> I've added a clock above the "wiki activity" button .. thanks :)--

Redirect
Sorry, the one you deleted was a mess-up by me, but I am creating redirects so please don't delete them. If you think they are not needed, I will give you an instance- today, a friend of mine complained because he could not find Magu Magu no Mi when he put in Lava Lava Fruit. It's sort of stupid, but it won't show up anymore on the activity feed page unless I mess up the code so please let me do this. If you don't mind, I've replaced the one you deleted. 01:16, May 3, 2011 (UTC)

Oh, okay. Well the message doesn't really matter since it won't appear in the activity feed page anyway (again, unless I mess up the code) but I'll put it there anyway. If you see the activity feed page flooded with redirects, just refresh the activity page or ignore them and they'll be fixed and gone (from the activity page) in a flash. 01:28, May 3, 2011 (UTC)

Re:chat
Aside from the fact that Awesome! is finally gone you can't type anything in it, it doesn't display your username as usual etc. and the link to the mainpage at the top doesn't open in a new tab anymore but rather in the chat itself. It could just be me though because Java script hates my soul. Panda 20:59, May 6, 2011 (UTC)

It seems to be working again. Panda 22:22, May 6, 2011 (UTC)

Re:Full or Fool?
Hm actually, I agree with Klobis on this one. Well, notice how for the Japanese writing of Fullbody is フルボディwhile for Foolshout, it is フールシャウト. The line in between the Fu (フ) and the L (ル) makes Full turn into Fool since the line tells you to pronounce the "u" part longer. (Try saying full and then fool to notice the slight difference in pronunciation.) Unless we get some kind of confirmation, I think it's pretty safe to leave it as Foolshout. 16:10, May 7, 2011 (UTC)

There you go
Klobis is now officially ignoring the discussion. He hasn't responded to the last comment at all and is still moving pages without giving reasons why. SeaTerror 16:29, May 7, 2011 (UTC)

I'llbeniceandkind
I get the feeling he's those other users (Iwillllisten, Iamnofool, etc.) who we banned for pointless and counterproductive edits, and based on his edits, it's hard to argue. Should we just ban him outright or wait a few more edits to decide? After all, he is creating different accounts to escape banning. Yatanogarasu 19:22, May 8, 2011 (UTC)

He's back. Panda 21:04, May 10, 2011 (UTC)

Age of Birth for Characters
Take a look at this sandbox. I have managed to gather the year in which the characters are born, based on the World Timeline chart, and the age calculations. Apparently, 1122 Age of Sea is dated on Noland's logbook, and based on that, the rest of the dates can be calculated, and that's how I got the birth years. With that in mind, should we add the birth years onto the characters' infoboxes where applicable? Yatanogarasu 19:56, May 8, 2011 (UTC)


 * Well, if they have a birthday, then we can add the year beside it. Otherwise, we can just ignore it. Yatanogarasu 20:08, May 8, 2011 (UTC)

I fixed it
I removed the video and thanks for the heads up. I dont know a lot about the Wiki rules and giudelines so sorry about that.

Again thanks Monkey.D.Me 20:07, May 8, 2011 (UTC)

I think you need to read the policy again. The policy is about uploading videos to the wikia itself. Not embedding them with HTML. SeaTerror 20:27, May 8, 2011 (UTC)

Er I was just responding here. I never fixed anything. I only looked because I wanted to make sure if he actually uploaded a video or not since that is against the rules. To make things easier I'll respond here for the second part. It has to be a fan term. I have not seen one source saying it came from Oda. In fact I think I even asked about it once and never got a response. Don't know where though. SeaTerror 21:02, May 8, 2011 (UTC)

Saw your comment about it being a lot longer before. Somebody removed a bunch from it. I added a lot back that was removed but there's still a lot missing. Maybe I should go through the edit history and add everything back when I have more time. SeaTerror 03:09, May 9, 2011 (UTC)

Pasa Pasa no Mi and Simon
Do you think that Rainelz is overloading the Pasa Pasa no Mi and Simon pages with too much images? Should we warn him and delete them, and if so, which ones to delete? Yatanogarasu 08:28, May 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yeah, but do we need all of them? Like, some of them are repetitive, and others may be simply Simon doing a gesture. Yatanogarasu 08:35, May 9, 2011 (UTC)
