Animals and Species tabs
I saw that you were the one who created the Template:AnimalsTab. Can you create a new tab for New World Saga, and animals like the Kraken and Sea Lion? I don't know exactly how here. Yatanogarasu 08:33, January 3, 2011 (UTC)

Admin Voting
We are currently holding a forum to decide who should be the new admins. If you wish to nominate anyone, please visit the forum within the week. Voting will begin the week after.DancePowderer 05:46, January 15, 2011 (UTC)

Just fyi, you have been nominated for admin. I know you said you were following the thread closely, but I wanted to make sure you knew.DancePowderer 00:28, January 17, 2011 (UTC)

Actually, most of the credit goes to SeaTerror. He wanted to nominate you and Ruxax but was nervous since you hadn't been here as long as some of the other nominees and Ruxax hasn't been here in a while. He was too unsure so I just did it. I thought it was a good idea too.DancePowderer 00:46, January 17, 2011 (UTC)

LETCA Project
Hi. Even though i'm fairly new here, I've started this project along with DancePowderer called LETCA. (Let's expand the chapter articles) This project is as you can see, about expanding the chapter articles which lack summaries and possibly full cover titles. At first, I thought it was enough for me and DancePowderer to handle the job, but as I looked it up further, there are at least 4 arcs that have many stub chapter articles. The summaryless chapter arcs include: and possibly more. I can see from your blog posts etc. that you are pretty knowledgable, so I hope you will help us with the project. If you are interested, please come to my talk pageso we can discuss about this. Thanks. JapaneseOPfan 07:13, January 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * Skypiea (entire thing except like the 1st chapter)
 * Davy Back Fight Arc (Mostly)
 * Enies Lobby Arc (other than 1st 5~7 chapters)
 * Post EL Arc (Beginning)

Pretty much all of the chapters listed don't have the character templates that are in the more recent chapters. It's just a bulleted list. If it's not too much trouble, could you create the templates for them? I would do it, but some templates and i just don't get along, that being one of them. Much appreciated, thanks!DancePowderer 02:01, January 26, 2011 (UTC)

TABLES, yes, that's what I meant. It would be helpful if you put them into TABLES. I knew templates was the wrong word, I just couldn't think of the word.DancePowderer 02:47, January 26, 2011 (UTC)

re: Chapter Trivia
If you're OK with it

I don't know if this is just me, but if you're moving some of the trivia to the chapter notes, can you just leave the title and make the contents for the trivia "N/A" ? I did it for some of the chapters with trivia/attacks/quotes(etc.) I couldn't really think of but I really just want to leave it so it looks good; in other words just like the chapter page layouts. Hehe, just saying. JapaneseOPfan 13:02, January 31, 2011 (UTC)

sorry but can you comment on the blog I made about this? I made it a blog since I wasn't sure how to make forum pages.

Oumagadoki Zoo Wiki
Hi! This is OhJay of the Oumagadoki Zoo Wiki. I would like you to help the wiki become very popular since the users RetroGamer (the creator of the wiki) and ProGamerP9 are working on other wikis and since I'm the only one helping it due to the fact that there are only us three users. We tried to give a message to some forums to join the wiki, but no one volunteered due to the lack of popularity of the manga. Also, the english scanner of the manga Mr. Prince either gave up translating the manga after Chapter 18 or he still has the flu he caught. I don't if you will like the manga, but this wiki needs help.

P.S.: There is a chinese scans website so here's the link. http://fullcomic.net/book/fengmoshikedongwuyuan.html

I hope you can be of assistance. --OhJay 13:55, January 31, 2011 (UTC)

Did everyone else agree to delete those real life pirates yet? If so, I can start deleting, otherwise we need their opinion and votes. Yatanogarasu 00:07, February 1, 2011 (UTC)

New section in Chapter pages
I read the trivia guidelines you told me about, and I get your point. As I was thinking, maybe we should just combine the chapter notes and trivia (title: Chapter notes/Trivia) and change the chapter page layouts as well? Then, we wouldn't really have to worry about all the mess of debating on what is chapter notes and what is trivia. I hope you agree with me. JapaneseOPfan 14:25, February 1, 2011 (UTC)

OK how about the stuff in Chapter 1? are those also considered as trivia?? JapaneseOPfan 18:14, February 1, 2011 (UTC)

Right. So for the moment, should I keep doing what I am right now and clean it up later, or rather start the process right now? I could go from the beginning again and get rid of the hassle right away if you want, or we can discuss a little more. JapaneseOPfan 18:32, February 1, 2011 (UTC)

Boa Hancock
I know this is the wrong place to talk about this, but is it possible to change Hancock's infobox picture? Her face is barely seen because of the wind blowing her bangs into her face.

trivia confusion...
ok, here we go again. you see, I am not complaining or anything, but DancePowderer told me trivia and chapter notes should be the same.. but you told me the opposite. knowing both of your statuses as admins, I ask you.. now what???! JapaneseOPfan 23:27, February 3, 2011 (UTC)

re:Could you write a blog entry for...
Sure. I'd love to write a blog entry for the wikia's fifth anniversary. I've never done a request before, but I'm open to new things. Just a few things, is there anything in specific you want me to mention? I want to know so I can write it in instead of just placing it in randomly. Also, it's the 5th of this month right? It's 11:03pm CST right now, so that would mean the anniversary is tomorrow plus an hour for me, or just tomorrow from where you are. This one might actually take a little planning and research on my part but I should be able to pull it off no problem. Your job is to figure out how to throw a party on a website, lol.DancePowderer 05:08, February 4, 2011 (UTC)

That's fine, I was just wondering in case you had something in mind when you asked me. I already asked Angel for a little background on the site that might might not necessarily be apparent and looked around the faq page for a little guidance (ie stuff about Kazuya). I'll check out the history page link when I'm done writing this. I should probably tell Angel that she has longer than the 5th to get back to me. What I'm probably going to do is write out the initial blog in a word document, then add the current stuff like what's happening in the story when I actually publish the blog. That way it's a cut and paste job with a few touchups, makes it easy and is less stressing overall.DancePowderer 07:07, February 4, 2011 (UTC)

What do you mean did I see your note about the blog request? How else would we be having this conversation if I didn't get it?DancePowderer 23:06, February 4, 2011 (UTC)

Ok, I have the bulk of the entry finished, I just need to add in what's happened recently, which I'll do next week. Would you mind taking a look at it some time prior to the 13th? Unless you aren't too worried. Basically it's the history, then the group appreciation, yadayadayada, PARTY TIME!. I'm going to add in the current manga stuff somewhere in the yadayada section.DancePowderer 03:00, February 5, 2011 (UTC)

Are you going to be ready with the slider when we light this 5 year candle tomorrow night? I just put the finishing touches on the entry, all I have to do is copy, paste, and publish. I'm just checking up onhings on your end.DancePowderer 17:32, February 12, 2011 (UTC)

That should work fine. 7:00 EST is 6:00 CST so there shouldn't be any problem for me. Uploading the blog shouldn't be a problem since, like I said above, it's just a quick cut and paste job. Sounds good. :)DancePowderer 00:01, February 13, 2011 (UTC)

Just a heads up, we're approaching T - 1 hour before the slider drops. ;)DancePowderer 22:57, February 13, 2011 (UTC)

answer me!
Hey YazzyGirl ,

after a Heading or a paragraph or wat ever ( i dont care !), a light brown line like thing appears right ?

can u add it through some code or some interface ?

if yes,how can u do that ?

thanks in advance !Roranoa zoro 14:20, February 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * If you don't mind me telling you instead, the code to adding that line is . MasterDeva 14:33, February 4, 2011 (UTC)

Thank u

Oh, THAT Note
Yeah, it probably would be best to bring it up with Angel, just so we can avoid it in the future.DancePowderer 03:14, February 5, 2011 (UTC)

Fun Idea to Go with slider
I was thinking that maybe it would be a fun idea to somehow put a template or something like that for character's birthdays on the front page. I got the idea from looking at Robin's page and realizing her birthday would be the day after tomorrow, the 6th. It wouldn't be anything complicated, just something that said:

Happy Birthday:

Nico Robin

And then the next day it could say Jozu instead, he doesn't have a birthday yet, but you get my point. I was wondering if you knew how to do something like that, and make it self sustaining but easily updated. You picked up on the wikia java a whole lot faster than I did, so I was wondering what you thought. Yatanogarasu has a link to a table with all the known birthdays on his user page.DancePowderer 03:49, February 5, 2011 (UTC)

I think it would be a good idea to go with what is already up there and just give it its own section or make it more noticeable like you said.DancePowderer 15:48, February 5, 2011 (UTC)

Hmm... alright... a bit confusing, but i'll go with whatever you think, since the concept doesn't matter to me anymore. Thanks for telling me anyway. JapaneseOPfan 01:06, February 10, 2011 (UTC)

I didn't necessarily get it from him yet, since he gives it to me on rare occasions when I ever meet him; I live in the U.S.A and he's in Japan :p Well, I get your point now; I can see on google and all. JapaneseOPfan 01:14, February 10, 2011 (UTC)

Well, not always. He only gets the Jump when he feels like it, has a bonus pay that day, or I tell him to since I want some appendix I want, like the Sunny ship thing from a recent chapter, if you know what I'm talking about. Or else, his house would explode with too many Jumps! Egypt, huh? I have a classmate from egypt too. But it's a he and he's a Naruto freak. That was an interesting convo. right there! :3 JapaneseOPfan 01:29, February 10, 2011 (UTC)

Featured Articles
The featured articles are random, correct? If so, do you agree with how I set it up? or is the article/picture bad? JapaneseOPfan 03:27, February 13, 2011 (UTC)

Signature
Could you help me make it so my signature links to my talk page as well as my user page? It would basically be the same as yours minus the colors, borders, and link to the main page, everything pretty basically. I tried looking at the code you used to create it but couldn't see through the border and color marking code. It would be very much appreciated, thanks.DancePowderer 03:29, February 14, 2011 (UTC)

I like the first one, where it's just the (Talk). I guess I wouldn't mind the blue letters an orange background, as long as it's not too bright of an orange. So, using the lowercase l to mark borders, it would be something kind of like

l DancePowderer l Talk l date and stuff normal, no background. The same spacing you have for yours.

DancePowderer 04:02, February 14, 2011 (UTC)

H: 49, S: 79, B: 91, R: 232, G: 198, B: 49.

Also, if it's not too much trouble, could you help me, or just tell me how to get a sand box and workbench set up so I can access them from my user page? I'm decent at basic pic and source codes, but the overall page and template codes are where I have trouble. Thanks again.DancePowderer 04:14, February 14, 2011 (UTC)

I like the one you based off your own, but I'd like the talk link to be the same color as my signature. Also, could I just see how it looks with the lettering in the default blue? It's just for comparison. Thanks again.DancePowderer 05:06, February 14, 2011 (UTC)

Ok, I like the one with the green text. I've managed to make the template for the link to my main page, but whenever I try to make the sandbox and link to it, it somehow became a talk page. I think I know what I might have done wrong. I'll probably get back to you on it tomorrow, It's getting late and I'm going to tinker with this while I finish up some homework. Thank you so much for all your help so far.DancePowderer 05:40, February 14, 2011 (UTC)

That won't be necessary, I didn't mean to create a tab for it, though I may ask you to edit my page to get it right later on, depends on how well I do with it. Thanks again.DancePowderer 05:55, February 14, 2011 (UTC)

One more thing, how do I make my signature link back to my page again?DancePowderer 05:57, February 14, 2011 (UTC)

The link is fixed, I accidently checked the custom signature box. As for the signature, I like the pale orange and green look. I have at least the basics of the parent template worked out. I just need to figure out the headings.DancePowderer 06:12, February 14, 2011 (UTC)

I figured it out just before I got your message. So now, how do I change from my normal signature to the one you designed? I just input the code into the little box on the custom signature thing on my preferences, right?DancePowderer 06:21, February 14, 2011 (UTC)

I just tried typing something and entering my new signature on the sandbox and EVERYTHING I typed was in the same color and background as the signature. I entered the code verbatim into the custom signature thing in my preferences. I'm guessing it had something to do with that. How or where should I enter it to get it to be just my signature and not my font?DancePowderer 06:41, February 14, 2011 (UTC)

Do I put one at the beginning and the other at the end or do I put both at the beginning and the end?DancePowderer 07:12, February 14, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks Yountoryuu

Main Page
I just wanted to ask why the Did you know template and the Vote template was switched in the main page. I personally think it looked much better/interesting the way it was before. Well more importantly, for the main page vote template, shouldn't we avoid black as the background? It's pretty hard to see the words like that. Was it discussed somewhere? JapaneseOPfan 22:44, February 14, 2011 (UTC)

Oh, well I don't know about you, but to me the vote template shows up with a black background no matter how many times I check... Is it just me? JapaneseOPfan 22:52, February 14, 2011 (UTC)

Ok now it's clear... but it looks pretty strange on the Main Page. Maybe you should put a border on it? JapaneseOPfan 22:57, February 14, 2011 (UTC)

Ok, good! JapaneseOPfan 23:04, February 14, 2011 (UTC)

Daz Bones
I already left a message about this on Yatano's page and it's best that you should know too. I've locked the Daz Bones page. Sea Terror and JapaneseOPfan were starting to get into what would ultimately become an edit war about whether or not he was an assassin or bounty hunter after JapaneseOPfan checked the translation of what Smoker and Tashigi said about him. I figured I should nip it in the bud before things got ugly and out of hand. Sea Terror doesn't seem to be on, not since I last checked, so I asked JapaneseOPfan to relay the information to him. I did that instead of telling him myself since that way they can start up a conversation about it instead of just ignore each other. Anyway, yeah, that's the situation.DancePowderer 02:29, February 15, 2011 (UTC)

Chatbox Possibility
Hey Yazzy. What you up too?

I held a blog, and some users were interested in a chatbox on the mainpage. Is this a goal able of being done?

Yountoryuu

Hey man, thanks for trying.

Mugi Theater
Hey Yazzy, I see you're updating the 11th omake Detective looms. I was wondering where you get all the information from? Is it already out in english?! Or did you just happen to hear about it somewhere...? Well anyhow, you're amazing ^^ I would like to know if you can find a scan of it somewhere; I obviosly don't have it in my hands right now. Thanks JapaneseOPfan 03:20, February 16, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, I loved it! It somewhat reminds me of my other favorite manga, detective conan, which makes me even more happier! Haha, thanks again. JapaneseOPfan 04:21, February 16, 2011 (UTC)

Devil fruit Infobox voting?
Good day YazzyDream,

You probably followed the discussion concerning the color schemes of Devil Fruits. I believe people said what they had to say and a voting might be the way to go now. What do you think? Jinbe 17:52, February 16, 2011 (UTC)

Another omake?
Well I was reading over some volumes in the Enies Lobby/water 7 arc, and I found this story in the 1st 3 pages of chapter 304. At the end, it says Mugiwara theatre, so shouldn't that be considered an omake as well? Or is there a specific reason why not? JapaneseOPfan 00:31, February 17, 2011 (UTC)

The text
How do you change the color of the text? Everyone except me seems to know, so I felt the need to know as well. JapaneseOPfan 01:07, February 18, 2011 (UTC)

Also, this is a different topic, but how many days do I have to wait to change the featured article? Is a week the minimum? Or maybe 5~7 days after changing? JapaneseOPfan 01:36, February 18, 2011 (UTC)

Oh, ok I'll make a note on that. Maybe 200 should be Foosha village or the Goa kingdom if they're not already used. JapaneseOPfan 03:18, February 18, 2011 (UTC)

quick question
hey

i m fkinawesome.

call me w.e. the hell u want.

well my question was:

say i make a comment on something on somebody's user page, then can i delete the comment?

and like i had made some comments as a wikia user as well. so if i wanna delete anything as a wikia user (like without signing in) can i delete my comments?

thanks

Haki Problems
I think we lock-up the Haki page for good : I frequently see names such as Zoro, Sanji , etc in the list :: and can i remove Beckman and Jozu from the list ?: I dont think their part was mentioned ! { I have posted the same in other admins' talk-pages }Roranoa zoro 00:15, February 20, 2011 (UTC)

Epithets
I felt this was something I had to come to you about, but several pages, most notably that for some of the Straw Hats, have very long Epithet sections in the infoboxes. By looking over these, I came to the conclusion that many of these are just nicknames. For example, marimo as called by Sanji is listed under epithet for Zoro, which I don't believe should belong. So I chose to talk to you so we can figure out what should or should not belong in that section. My basic beliefs are the epithet section is where wanted poster epithets and aliases go, and that's it. You? At tribute - Tobi is a good boy. 04:52, February 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * Cool thanks, but I do not know how to edit Zoro's inforbox since it doesn't give me an edit option at the bottom like most of them do. How would I do that? At tribute  - Tobi is a good boy . 05:17, February 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * Much obliged At tribute  - Tobi is a good boy . 05:29, February 20, 2011 (UTC)

Coby FA
For the Coby featured article, is there any particular reason why a picture of his old self is on there? Or can I change it? I myself think Coby from the Marines template should be used. Thanks JapaneseOPfan 18:50, February 20, 2011 (UTC)

This is a different topic, but what exactly is a Saga? And shouldn't the whole Thriller bark thing be a Saga? because I think Thriller bark being part of the WBW Saga is kinda pushing it, plus in the one piece web I'm pretty sure Thriller bark is considered a Saga. Also, I don't know if this has been discussed, but why do we need both arcs and sagas? Isn't just arcs fine? Thanks JapaneseOPfan 19:06, February 20, 2011 (UTC)

Devil Fruit Infobox voting
Hello YazzyDream,

I know you did not participate in the discussion, but I would still like to ask you to start and lead the voting process in this thread: http://onepiece.wikia.com/index.php?title=Forum:Devil_Fruit_Colorschemes&t=20110221133425

Dancepowderer is currently busy with other things and told me you are good in stuff like that too, so here I am :)

Here is the log of our talk:

''I would like to ask you to start a voting process considering the devil fruit color schemes. Since you organized the admin voting as well (without any trouble), I'm confident you are the right person to guarantee an unbiased procedure in this case too. It would be also nice if we could set a fix duration for the voting, so we can draw a clear line and come to a decision.''Jinbe 20:14, February 21, 2011 (UTC)

''I would help, but I really don't have too much time to organize it. I'm going to be busy for the next few days, so my time on here will be minimal. I might be able to get it started later in the week, but I'm guessing you want to get this done asap. My advice would be to ask Yazzy, she's good with this kind of stuff.DancePowderer 20:19, February 21, 2011 (UTC)''

''Right, thanks for your reply. And yeah, YazzyDream can do that too, no doubt, as well as Yatanogarasu. Just thought since your were active in the discussion + did the admin voting you are the most experienced in that sector. Anyway, I would still appreciate your participation in the voting, even if you are busy. I don't want to get it done asap, but at least get things going. That said, I will ask YazzyDream to do itJinbe 20:27, February 21, 2011 (UTC)''

Thanks in advance,

Jinbe 20:56, February 21, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks a lot YazzyDream. Could you set a time limit for when the voting will end? Whatever you feel is appropriate, 3 days, a week, whatever. Jinbe 22:53, February 21, 2011 (UTC)

Bot flag discussion
Hello,

please consider participating in this discussion about flagging the bot. sff9 (talk) 01:18, February 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * Didn't think it would be so fast! Thanks a lot!... Well, that's a bit ridiculous, now that it's flagged it does nothing... Actually I'm working on the next step of the color scheme templates' setting up. Thanks again! sff9 (talk) 10:50, February 22, 2011 (UTC)

Breif
Thanks. Is there some strategy to change something in the infobox without erasing everything? because it always seems to happen to me. 01:51, February 22, 2011 (UTC)

That's... strange. It usually turns out all well, but sometimes, even when I don't touch the infobox, it just automatically erases itself as soon as I press "edit". I sometimes don't notice the contents are gone and press Publish, only to see my error afterwards. I don't think I'm erasing everything so.. maybe some error that only my account has? 01:58, February 22, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah I do, and it's gone. I don't know how to fix it so I can't change peoples' char box color schemes. Well anyhow, sorry but can you do Okome for me too? He's in the Hokahoka pirates. 02:08, February 22, 2011 (UTC)

same colors
Isn't it kind of disturbing that some color schemes of unrelated groups are exactly the same? Like Heart pirates, enel's warriors, and bluejam pirates for instance. 02:29, February 22, 2011 (UTC)

Lit. Technique Pages
Joekido seems pretty adamant about getting the literary technique pages back, and to be perfectly honest I wasn't completely against them in the first place. I made a few conditions that would have to be met if he wants to bring them back. It's on the forum he made. It would be a big help if you voiced your opinion on it, and then maybe we could discuss the conditions separately on our talk pages. I think they are pretty reasonable but feel free to say otherwise, if you want the pages back that is. Your assistance in this would be a big help. Thanks.DancePowderer 06:09, February 22, 2011 (UTC)

SBS Pics
Where do you get the SBS pictures from?? AP Forums? 13:59, February 22, 2011 (UTC)

Wait huh? I think see what you're talking about, but what does that have to do with pictures? (By the way, the link Kdom gave you was expired or something so I couldn't see it...) 16:38, February 22, 2011 (UTC)

Oh. Okay. Were the pictures like, saved on your computer, or was the page just not expired yet when you uploaded them? And any ideas where the pictures for SBSs 58+ would be? Thanks. 16:51, February 22, 2011 (UTC)

I am so irritated right now! I thought I had finally found the SBS pics for volume 59 on google images, since someone apparently posted it on Mangashare a while ago, and I was all happy and clicked on it. The translation and all were still there, but the actual big size of the image was deleted by someone because it "goes against the image rules" or something. What the crap? Well, you can see the image on the google images gallery when you look up "Yuriko Yamaguchi SBS" and go through the pages, but it's too small to see. Sorry for yelling at you about this stuff, I just can't help it. Any possible ways to blow these up without making them blury? 17:48, February 22, 2011 (UTC)

hiddenStructure
Can you please add to MediaWiki:Common.css the following line:

.hiddenStructure { display:none; }

It is needed for some optional fields in templates (e.g. Affiliation, Occupation) to work properly. It worked OK earlier, but stopped some time ago (after transition to new skin maybe?). Ruxax 21:07, February 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hm, it seem's that the right place now is MediaWiki:Wikia.css. Please add the line mentioned above to MediaWiki:Wikia.css. Ruxax 16:10, February 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * I think it doesn't matter if this line stays in MediaWiki:Common.css, because it seems that with the new skin, this page is ignored and MediaWiki:Wikia.css is used instead of it for site-wide CSS rules (styling). Ruxax 22:20, February 26, 2011 (UTC)

Problem
When in source mode : my entire signature code shows up, while urs just a template , can u please fix it ?  Roranoa zoro     {^_*}  00:21, February 23, 2011 (UTC)

color schemes fin
I think the color schemes for people are finished now. Should we start a discussion about what to change, or wait until all the devil fruit etc. is done as well? 00:31, February 23, 2011 (UTC)

wait, do you mean "yes wait" or "yes discuss"? 23:39, February 23, 2011 (UTC)

oh, ok haha. Well since the talk page seems to be getting no attention, should there be a new forum or should we use the same old one? 00:25, February 24, 2011 (UTC)

Thanx kid, It's working ! 02:32, February 23, 2011 (UTC)

MainPage
I've a suggestion for improving our main-page : adding categories like "marines", "devil-fruits" , "younku" , etc: here's what i mean-- check out : http://zelda.wikia.com/wiki/Zeldapedia .................. I'm just givin' an Idea , feel free to ignore it ! 09:11, February 23, 2011 (UTC)

Blog Comment Redirects
Hi,

There's a little housekeeping task that only an admin can do: Blackendedsoul moved one of his blog posts twice, after some comments had been left already. This created double redirects that flood the double redirect special page, and that I can't repair myself, since I can't modify a blog comment that I didn't write myself.

If you don't mind, could you repair it? You just have to click on each "edit" link (there's eleven of them) and replace the content of the page with

There's no emergency, of course.

Also, in the broken redirects page, there's one blog comment broken redirect.

Thanks! sff9 (talk) 10:37, February 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * Lol, and I was afraid you would think "man, nobody cares!"...
 * I thought that was possible for an admin because DancePowderer edited a blog post once, but it must probably be different for blog comments. Or maybe it's the bureaucrat status?...
 * By the way, I saw on your workbench that you liked "One Piece International" pages. Do you think it could be interesting to add a list of chapter titles on the "One Piece in France" page? I ask that, because there's already a list of episode titles on this page, and I find it kinda unfair.

Straw Hat Pirates Flag
Hello, I noticed there is an "edit war" on the, can we decide once for all which version is the best? In my opinion they are both fan arts, but the 25 Kb version is more accurate because is based on the actual flag (look here. or ) while the other version is based on the ONE PIECE Logo. I don't want to revert it if someone later revert it again, so can we decide? We can make a poll if someone disagree (I don't know if possible). leviathan_ 89  13:14, February 24, 2011 (UTC)

One Last Sig Issue
How do you make your signature so that it appears as Yazzy/Sigreal or whatever it was? Can you help me so that mine does that too? I just tried voting on the literary technique forum, and when I looked at it in source mode, it showed all the code, but whe I say yours it was just your signature in –. Could you please help me this one last time? DancePowderer   Talk 23:14, February 24, 2011 (UTC)

Never mind, Sff9 helped me. Thanks anyway, though. DancePowderer   Talk 01:17, February 25, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, that bit did the trick.

Wow, I am an idiot, I get finally get my signature figured out, then I forget to sign. XP 03:05, February 25, 2011 (UTC)

Yes, now to get back to actual editing and admining. 03:11, February 25, 2011 (UTC)

Ok, this is the last thing, I swear. Whenever I try to sign on a bullet point, like for voting and stuff, it always appears under the point.


 * 17:01, February 25, 2011 (UTC)

I don't think it's a font size issue, because I Roronoa zoro's worked, and when I checked his signature code, his font is bigger than mine. Mine's 90, his is 95. This will be the last thing I ask of you on the matter. Thank you. 17:01, February 25, 2011 (UTC)

It's not just with bullets, it's with everything. Take a look here, my signatures are all two or so lines below what I wrote.DP

Thanks again! Now all I have to do is not touch it ever. It may mess up the signature on other wikias, but I don't care. Thanks again. 17:20, February 25, 2011 (UTC)

Spotlight Request
Hi. One Piece Encyclopedia looks like it is generally in great shape. You do have a small handful of uncategorized pages; could you please take care of them? They actually look like subpages of character pages which may be why they are uncategorized, but if you plan to do that for a bunch of characters then it will be best to figure out how to organize them now I think. Let me know on my talk page when you have taken care of them and I will be happy to add One Piece Wiki to the approved spotlight list. -- Wendy (talk ) 02:50, February 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * Great job! I've added you to the approved spotlight list. -- Wendy  (talk ) 00:37, February 27, 2011 (UTC)

FA Category page
You know how there's a Featured Article category page? If you scroll down, it says "the following 140 pages out of 140 have the FA category" or something close to that. Well if you look at the list of FAs next, you'll see 142 articles. That means 2 FAs are not categorized, am I correct? Well can you help me find those 2 articles.. I looked to about the 110th FA and they're all categorized. Thanks. 05:53, February 26, 2011 (UTC)

Merging
Yeah, about merging Arabasta Rebellion with Operation Utopia, I believe we should wait a few days to see if an official kanji and name comes up for Arabasta Rebellion. If it does turn up, it would be worthy to keep it on its own page, otherwise, if the name is unofficial, then we merge. Yatanogarasu 22:59, February 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * P.S. end date for vote is March 3, one week after the start. Please get more people to vote so we can have a more fair judgment. Yatanogarasu 23:04, February 26, 2011 (UTC)

re: More for PX-Bot
Don't worry, the order is kept, as I leave the part after the "|" unchanged. Yatanogarasu already asked me to rename some categories, and I told him I was gonna make a list of all "inconsistent" category names for the bot to change. Oh, and that wouldn't have been hard to rename all director categories: as long as I do two, doing six or six hundred is basically the same. Don't hesitate to ask! sff9 (talk) 09:44, February 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * I think it's better to hide the stub categories: it shortens the category list, while the category is still accessible by a link in the template. That's what usually done on wikis, as far as I know. sff9 (talk) 10:30, February 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yep, that's why I added a link to the category in Template:Stub. I think it's cleaner, both because the stub category is a maintenance category (and thus, not "at the same level" as the others), and because all information about stubs is thus at the same place (namely, in the stub frame). sff9 (talk) 10:39, February 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I kinda stopped halfway through the work (I notably intended to make similar modifications for the other maintenance categories). Sorry. Leave it "unhidden", I'll come back to it later.
 * By the way, do you think the link in the stub frame should be more visible? sff9 (talk) 10:48, February 28, 2011 (UTC)

Roger that. sff9 (talk) 00:25, March 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * Don't worry, once my program is set up, adding more category changes will make no difference. I'll soon write a forum post with all proposed changes so the community can check. sff9 (talk) 09:54, March 2, 2011 (UTC)

Re:Devil Fruit Image
No problem, I have all the movies, specials, oavs and episodes (up to 295) in HQ (at least better the the online versions) so you can request whatever cap you want, they're with subs though so I need to edit them. When I see some LQ picture I'll try too reupload it. By the way I also have the manga volumes in HQ from 1 to 11, from 26 to 29 and from 40 to 58. For the new chapters I can provide pictures from an Italian translation team which uses the same quality of mangastream, but without watermark.

And when I upload a picture I always wondering which size is better, is there a policy about it? Usually I resize them to 600-700px (for the bigger side) for generic pictures and not more than 1100-1200px for the landscape pictures. I try to keep an eye on the Kb too. For example the Devil fruits picture I could have upload a bigger one, but it seems a waste of space to me. leviathan_ 89  12:30, February 28, 2011 (UTC)

About figurine pix
I saw that you wanted to put tags on figure pix, but finally erased your modifications as you wasn't sure on what to do.

Well, here's what I usually do. I just put the following 2 tags:

I don't know why there's a "false" filter with the Merch image tag, but it's like since very recently. No idea what it's about. For the Fig images tag, if it's a pix about a single fig, I usually put the most well known short name of a character, e.g. Ace for Portgas D. Ace or Whitebeard for Edward Newgate. Then the filter can also be some special keyword: !Duo for a pic about 2 figs, !Group for more than 2, !Box if it's about the pic of a fig box, !Strawhat for more than 2 but only Strawhat figs. --Xinyingho 17:09, February 28, 2011 (UTC)

In the Event of a Tie...
So, it looks like the Devil Fruit color scheme voting is a tie, with options 2 and 4 tied with 9 votes each. We can have Klobis and Ruxax change their votes to one of the two, but that still leaves a high likelihood for a 10-10 tie. So, what do you suppose we do? An admin vote wouldn't help since you and Deva are split against me and Yatano, and that would just be a stalemate. Extend the vote and have anyone who didn't vote pick one of the two options, maybe? 04:38, March 1, 2011 (UTC)

It's not selfish as much as it is excessive. Yeah, it's rare, but it's nothing to write home about. In the mean time, I'll tell Ruxax, you tell Klobis. 04:48, March 1, 2011 (UTC)

It appears that Klobis is now the deciding vote, unless people completely change their mind. 14:25, March 1, 2011 (UTC)

Uh that Marcus Junior guys vote shouldn't count because that is his only edit. Look at his edit history. Everything else is blog comments. SeaTerror 17:01, March 1, 2011 (UTC)

Lets wait for Klobis, maybe we get a decision after his vote. It would be unfortunate to force people to vote that are really not interested in the matter, or did not even read the discussion. Also, I really hope we don't have to rank users by importance - this can only get ugly, real ugly. 17:12, March 1, 2011 (UTC)

I'm just going to quote what Angel said. "Typically, accounts without history of editing usually are worthless votes anyway. Unless you edit the wikia, you don't know what its like to edit. Even if a thousand new accounts are made, they won't count unless they have a history." SeaTerror 17:15, March 1, 2011 (UTC)

Spoiled Food for Thought
I have just been playing with this in my head for a while, and it came back to me since the next chapter is going to be out in the next day or so. I wonder if there is a way we can curb or prevent spoiler information from getting onto the pages. I realize it would be very difficult since we would have to lock all of the pages of the characters who are expected to appear in the next chapter, and that doesn't prevent pages for new characters from being made. I'm not giving this any actual serious thought, but I just wondered what your take on it is? 05:20, March 1, 2011 (UTC)

OP Merch
Ok, what about the small stuff the comes along w/ databooks and all? Is that merch.?

Also, I have an actual jolly roger of the straw hats (it's like bigger than me) because dad thought it was a shirt or something and sent it to me. There's nothin to mention about it but.. shouldn't it's existance be noted somewhere? Should there be like a "minor merch" page? 04:31, March 3, 2011 (UTC)

So.. what if it is unnamed? Like wrist bands, shirts, etc. 04:47, March 3, 2011 (UTC)

Chou-Chou
I know the missing history pales in importance compared to other stuff on the wiki. If anything I want to learn what went wrong so I can avoid it in the future. 06:23, March 3, 2011 (UTC)

That's what I think happened too, what doesn't make sense is how that happened when I made it delete the redirect Chu-Chu to make room for the new page. 06:37, March 3, 2011 (UTC)

I'm sure I remember pressing delete, but I guess that might not be the case. I asked Deva to help me go about contacting the main wikia, so we should know what happened in the coming days. 06:46, March 3, 2011 (UTC)

Site Poll
Do you think this site poll thing is getting out of hand? I mean, they don't really serve much purpose aside from seeing the editors' opinions, and people keep adding new options, thus resetting them repeatedly. It may also give off a sense of bias, seeing how people like one thing more than the other. How about we put up a new rule to ban it altogether? Yatanogarasu 08:08, March 5, 2011 (UTC)

Stepping In
Any ideas on how we should quell or at least run damage control with the whole Bonney Pirates bounty war? Normally I would just let people vote and have the poll speak for everyone, but I don't think SeaTerror's behavior should go unchecked. I'm not really good at telling people off on this level. What should we do? 17:54, March 5, 2011 (UTC)

Do you think we should just revert the crew articles to say at least? I left a comment, solidifying your definition and basically calling things to a close (I hope). Since at least is grammatically ok to use, I say we just revert the articles back to saying at least. I hate to say it, but we may have to abuse our power to keep things under control, which is the LAST thing I ever want to do as an admin. That, or lock all the crew articles. Also, what do you think we should do about SeaTerror? Like I said above, his behavior was unacceptable, and this isn't the first time. Ugh, this is the crap we have to deal with that isn't in the job description. 04:07, March 6, 2011 (UTC)

Alright, I'll start reverting them. And I'm afraid he has. Yatano has handled it somewhat, but apparently he called Klobis a moron over th Jyabura/Jabra issue, and said something rude to Ruxax. See the last topic on his talk page for full details. 04:19, March 6, 2011 (UTC)

We missed one
Do you have volume 56? If you do, flip to the last few pages and i think the english ver. also has the Strong World interview on it. it's sort of like a seiyu SBS so should we post it somewhere? 15:49, March 6, 2011 (UTC)

and.. did you see the topic called "results" I posted above? Just makin' sure 23:37, March 6, 2011 (UTC)

Topic 1: because it's a Q&A corner with a staff member, but it's not necissarily an SBS.

Topic 2: Well.. I wanted to change that template, but it's blocked so that only admins and up can edit so... eh. Can you fix that? 04:22, March 7, 2011 (UTC)

I can see it's sorta different but it still says 1 day left for voting on DF color schemes and all that.. and it's been there forever so.. yeah. I think you made a mistake and forgot to erase the rest after thank you for voting? 20:38, March 7, 2011 (UTC)

Oh. Maybe you should do this AAAAA or put dates next to it or something since I feel it's sorta confusing. Dunno, just my opinion. 22:21, March 7, 2011 (UTC)

Hey Yazzy, Bankai99 here. I have a question for you. On the Red-Haired Pirates page, under Crew Strength, there is a picture of the Red-Haired Pirates from when Luffy was little, about 12 years ago. I really like that picture. But do you know if it was in the manga or if it was just created by Oda and never cirrculated. If it was in the manga, would you mind tell me what chapter it came out on? It would be much appreciated.

[invitation] devil fruit color scheme suggestions
Hello YazzyDream,

since you participated in the Devil Fruit colorscheme thread, I thought you might be interested in the follow up: Devil fruit color schemes: suggestions

16:20, March 9, 2011 (UTC)

Episode Layout page
Hey, can I get permission to change the episode layout page a little? All I'm doing is merging "short summary" and "long summary" to just "summary". You know, since the majority of pages only have 1 summary and just having a blank section makes the page look even more stub than it is. I'll merge all the summaries in the pages if that's ok. Thanks. 18:42, March 20, 2011 (UTC)

Oh no, maybe you misunderstood me. Or not? Anyways, I meant like merge the long and short summaries to just one heading called "Summary" on every single episode page. No creating new pages. 19:36, March 21, 2011 (UTC)

Devil fruit color schemes - result
Good day YazzyDream,

I just want to inform you (as one of the admins), that the Devil Fruit color scheme topic is officially sorted and the voting result executed. On top of that, I want to thank you for your opinion and participation in the various threads. Especially for setting up the official vote, as well as monitoring it for such a long time.

Here are the three threads in chronological order, if you ever need to look them up again:
