re:Collages
Well, I never said replace ALL of them, just try to improve the overall situation. I guess people misunderstood, but I don't see much bad so far, as collages are rather unsightly for some. And there are still some collages left unchanged so far. 19:47, January 2, 2012 (UTC)

The collages were voted on before to keep. I hate them also and think only one image should be used. SeaTerror 22:39, January 2, 2012 (UTC)

I thought there was a discussion (where no one objected) to remove all the collages, I even removed quite a few myself a few months ago. 22:44, January 2, 2012 (UTC)

Found it. http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Episode_Images:_Revamp SeaTerror 05:47, January 3, 2012 (UTC)


 * That's not for general collages though... thank you anyway.

If you're removing collages then you should remove those too. SeaTerror 16:23, January 3, 2012 (UTC)

re: Template talk
Hi!
 * It shall be possible to do this with the bot. I'll try next month, when my huge amount of work is done.
 * I think the pipe at the end is sometimes necessary if you don't want the spacing to be passed along with the text. However, regarding these specific templates, I don't think it's useful, and it's indeed quite ugly.
 * Merging the sub-infobox templates into the infobox templates was something I wanted to do for a long time. I fail to understand the point of having them separated, it just makes things more complicated. There may be a reason, but since the creators of these templates are no longer active, it'll be hard to find out. Anyway, once the templates are modified, replacing them in the articles can be done by a bot too.


 * Oh, you're right, the named parameters strip whitespace. What I was saying holds for unnamed parameters only. I guess.
 * As for my projects, I'm writing my PhD thesis, which is due this month, and on which there is a lot of work that still needs to be done. Plus I've got quite a lot of work as a tutor. I really shouldn't edit on the wiki...
 * CSS classes for color schemes are a good idea. That should be possible to make fewer template calls. About the gallery templates, I've got a project of writing a simplified template anyway. They are damn annoying to edit.


 * In my PhD I'm trying to check whether some given artificial intelligence techniques are applicable to some given problem. That mostly consists of data structure study, (simple) complexity theory, and implementation.
 * About the CSS, that's really awesome, much clearer, much lighter, and also much cleaner from a theoretic point of view. Love it.
 * About the parent gallery template, check my attempt here. I think it'd be hard to achieve a simpler syntax! I'm afraid itll be kind of heavy tho :/

Background
Hey man, we discussed about it many many times, but we didnt do anything about it.. Haha.. So, here's the thing.. Can you split this picture and use it as a background on this wiki? Im askin you cause you know a lot about this stuff.. If its possible to see a preview of how it looks.. Thanks.

Cool, alright. I'll be waiting for it. Cause a map would be way better than the wheels..

Guidelines warning
Not the warning itself is hostile, how we transport the message is. The red banner looks like you just ended up on a raunchy pornsite and your anti virus is going coco babanas.

Where can I change the colors of the banner? Yata said I could try to offer a different coloring/suggestion. 12:13, January 14, 2012 (UTC)

A wiki map
I am unsure if you saw or not, but I have started developing a wiki map for the easier navigation of New Users, but I'm pretty sure I lack some content. The plan is to make available for users to go to every article there exists on tis wiki using certain pages and categories. But I noticed that I have hit 4 problems, 3 fo which are easy to fix, but 1 seems rather problematic.

The first problem is that there are other companies other than the ones that I already added, so I simply have to add them to the anime section, but the lack of information on my side was the cause of them not being there from the start.

The 2nd problem is Merchandise and it can be easily fixed, but I have only a vague idea on all the merchandise articles on this wiki which seemt o be really a lot! So I have no idea how to organize all of this. I am thinking and will most certainly create a new tab just for the merchandise as there is so much.

The 3rd which is also big is the characters, I recently changed it characters and organizations as World Government and such are not characters, but contain characters in the templates which the page has in its content. But citizens and civilians, people neutral, who are not pirates, nor "justice servers". I have discovered that there are Visual Guides which I was thinking of adding to Trivia and Other, just a link to the category. To try and have all characters listen in the Characters and Organizations tab, I added the lists of canon and non canon characters there (as for full content I want to add each page that cannot really be found in the articles and categories already linked). That was my luck, or so I guess, since I'm pretty sure that it still lacks something!

The 4th one is that the Abilities tab is too small, everything is really condensed and well organized already in the categories and pages. Do you have any suggestions to make it any larger such as taking something from the trivia to it? I've been thinking about occupations. So I would want to hear your opinion on that.

Just tell me what it lacks, any suggestions to the design, the colors, the way it is all orgfanized and so on.

PS: This message helped me with organizing this way better in my head so...thanks XD

And I forgot, I think that at least the categories that would be shown in the map should be added some content. I'll suggest that when I'll make the forum to suggest the map as well. And I would also love to suggest other ideas, but they would require custom CSS and most likely images that are edited. To give the wiki a more "pirate-like" look. And I won't forget to suggest the babylon project in it.

Thanks a lot for all your info Levi, I'll be sure to ask you if I encounter further problems, and I'm not sure our wiki would want that new way to explore it. I'm planning on putting it on the main page like a navibox for the whole wiki. Sadly the guidebook has been deleted. Also I remember that the show when you mouse over something code doesn't work. I'm pretty sure that almost no new user read the guidelines, nor do they read the starting message. So I guess that just increasing the chances that they will be able to explore the wiki with more ease. I'm sure that it won't hurt anybody to make an improvement to the main page. I should be able to make it now with greater ease with the help of those navibox templates. So thanks again Levi

Hei dude, i'm very VERY new in this wiki stuff and i met a guy named Ricizubi, He told me to talk to you about, you teach me how to make a good wiki, i really want to learn how ):

I'm trying to leanr HTML and CSS... anyway, hope you can help me

SORRY FOR MY CRAP ENGLISH

huh ? i don't know what your saying ? but i didn't put that asassin thing in their, i edit only brooks. sorry for the inconvinience bro but thats not me

Collapsing Navbox
So, I have decided to retry the navbox idea using your suggestion, so I took the code from KakuGiraffe's user page and modified it. However, for some reason, it isn't working (at least for me). If you could look at my code and see what I did wrong, then that would be helpful. Thanks.

Sorry here is the link: My Sandbox. 17:29, January 17, 2012 (UTC)

Ok, thanks for the help, it works perfectly now on a different page. 19:16, January 17, 2012 (UTC)

Altering polls from other users.
Hey Leviathan,

nothing major, but could you please refrain from altering the polls I open in the future? You know that I always add suggestions ASAP, there is no need to edit the polls. It is just a matter of respect and to avoid unnecessary irritations. If you remember, the last time you did it I had to deal with a lot of crap because people understood the votes wrong (or the intention behind the vote (trivia forums)).

Thank you,

14:52, January 19, 2012 (UTC)

Ah, I understand.

Nevermind then, the changes you made make sense, and even if they wouldn't, it doesn't matter what I think.

Just leaving the final step of changing the polls to the creator seems logical to me, after all the creator usually takes the blame if something goes wrong and people start to bitch about validity & stuff.

But whatever! 15:48, January 19, 2012 (UTC)

No Picture Available pic
Hi there, i just thought we may need a better picture for the infoboxes with no picture available, i just made one that could be better, here's the pic : http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/513/nopictureavailable.png/

What do you think ?

Thanks  15:41, January 19, 2012 (UTC)

Poster caption
I saw your question to Jopfan about the caption on the wanted posters. I wrote a blog a while ago (my first blog, actually) asking the same question, and HozenziGlacier gave me the following from a blown up version he saw: "KONO SAKUHIN HA FICTION DETHUNODE JITSU ZAISURU DANTAI SONOTA NO SOSHIKI TO DOITSU NO MEISHOU GA GEKICHU NI TOUJYOU SHITATOSHITEMO JITSUZAI NA MONOTOHA ISSAI MUKANKEIDETH". I did a rough translation and it came out as "This work is indeed fiction given that all content besides the author's organization and name, however the story does not reflect eastern culture and values even though in reality na monotoha (couldn't translate that part) everything is of priceless nature (which I'm guessing means copyrighted)". Kind of choppy but the general idea is there. It's some kind of copyright disclaimer. Why on the wanted posters of all places? I don't know. I hope this helps. 18:17, January 20, 2012 (UTC)

Putting it on Bounties is a good idea, but ask Jop to clean up the translation a bit, since mine is nowhere near perfect. 22:38, January 20, 2012 (UTC)

Get ready for a lecture. The problem is that the romanization is all screwed up for some reason on all the posters. Either this is an error, or some kind of cheesy joke. I'm sure the animators didn't expect many to actually blow up the image to check, but the text is just too weird. I'm not positive, but I have a feeling I saw this topic come up in one of the earlier SBSs so I'm guessing this was Oda's idea... although I don't think I'll be checking anytime soon so we can't be sure.

Text (I couldn't make out some of the words, so I figured it out with net research and logic from missing words. I also found cleaner and larger images elsewhere.): KONO SAKUHIN WA FICTION DETHUNODE JITSUZAISURU JINRUTSU DANTAI SONOTA NO SOSHIKI TO DOITSU NO MASHOU GA GEKICHU NI TOUJYOU SHITATOSHITEMO JITSUZAI NK MONOTOWA ISSAI MUKANKEIDETH

The italicized words have unusual romanization, and the bold italicized ones are just complete errors that make no sense. There are also grammatical errors, which I underlined. Just to note, I DID NOT misread anything. It definitely says this on the cleaned image I checked, and matches with the blurry outlines of the image I was given. Anyway, apparently this wrong text was taken and applied to all OP Wanted Poster Merch, so all the Merch out there except the fake posters have lots of mistakes in them :/ pretty sad, eh.

Literal Translation would be: THIS WORK IS FICTION THEREFORE EVEN IN CASES WHERE REAL !@#$% GROUPS OTHER ORGANIZATIONS WITH THE SAME !@#$% ARE PRESENTED IN THEATERS THESE CHARACTERS ARE NOT RELATED !@#$% REAL THINGS WHATSOEVER.

Makes no sense. By using logic, I've altered the original text into "KONO SAKUHIN WA FICTION DESUNODE JITSUZAISURU JINBUTSU/DANTAI/SONOTA NO SOSHIKI TO DOITSU NO MEISHOU GA GEKICHU NI TOUJYOU SHITATOSHITEMO JITSUZAI NA MONOTOWA ISSAI MUKANKEIDESU" which is translated into "THIS WORK IS FICTION, THEREFORE EVEN IN CASES WHERE REAL INDIVIDUALS, GROUPS, OR OTHER ORGANIZATIONS WITH THE SAME TITLES ARE PRESENTED IN THEATERS, THESE CHARACTERS ARE NOT RELATED TO REAL THINGS WHATSOEVER"

We can change around the literal translation I provided in order to make it sound better such as changing words like "things" etc. with other words, and we can apply our no ou policy to the romanization. My point is, the errors should be mentioned in articles at least as trivia because they've brought up so much conflict from what I found on the internet, and can lead to confusion. Hope I was clear. 05:43, January 21, 2012 (UTC)

I don't think it should go on the bounty page unless it was also in the manga. SeaTerror 06:34, January 21, 2012 (UTC)

re: Release
Hi! Well, that avoids unnecessary cluttering of the "uncategorized templates" special page. Though I think the simplest solution would be to make a hidden category "subpages" and put all subpages in it, even character subpages etc. I really can't contribute at the moment, I'll be back in a few weeks.

Re: Yellow
It's really hard because the cover is shiny gold. Without lighting (such as on a scanner), the cover would look like what we have at the moment, and with proper lighting, it would reflect me and the camera. I found a small picture on this site but if it's impossible to stretch without blurring, I don't know what to say.

By the way this is the scanning failure. 21:06, January 29, 2012 (UTC)

No, I do have a scanner. I even linked you to the scanned image of my YELLOW databook above! It just turns out like the image we already have, because scanners don't have lighting and the original shiny gold color just shows up that way on scanned images. I'm guessing the image we have on the article is also scanned. 23:10, January 29, 2012 (UTC)

You know what, check out of the image we already have. I just took a look and we had better images in the past. I think they are watermarked though... I'm not sure but that's what it says. 23:14, January 29, 2012 (UTC)

It looks good. I think this is the best we've had. 03:03, January 30, 2012 (UTC)

GrandLine
Hi, I don't think you should spend so much time trying to explain obvious things. If he doesn't want to understand, he just never will. Leave him be. If that's important to you anyway, maybe this could help, I found it on Arlong Park (I think it was made by brennen.exe). Good luck.
 * I thought so. Good luck then... You really should move that to a forum or another talk page, it would be clearer that it's not about the whales. Forza!


 * Yup, I had seen your point about the timeline. That's yet another proof... But if it isn't read, it's useless anyway. However, I'm beginning to think your world map "battle" is not in vain. Keep up the good work, you really are a valuable editor whom I look up to.

Re: Raw version
Kappa's image is an example that has fan-added elements... Scanlation groups always deleted the text on the image and added pictures at their own discretion. --Klobis 13:03, February 3, 2012 (UTC)

There is no added elements. Klobis just made that up that bullshit because he hates scanlations. SeaTerror 18:27, February 3, 2012 (UTC)

Re: Whole Cake Island
Yes, "Airando" is the japanese version of "Island". All foreign words taken into the japanese language are spelled in katakana only, so there isn't really a particular kanji for it although if you really push it you could use 島 (to/shima/jima) in place since it means the same thing. For example, things like "piano", "pan" (bread), "hero", "basketball", "melon", etc are all taken from foreign languages because they all don't originate in japan, therefore there is no kanji/japanese word for them since kanji is taken from the shape of whatever it represents somehow or the other (島 looks somewhat like an island doesn't it?) and there is no need for a new word anyway (like how we use ninja, samurai, tsunami, or karate as english). Well... although in cases like when "miracle", "oi"(hey/listen), "super" etc are used, it's just modern slang people just used to say to be cool like how americans may say "kawaii" or "suge" and then it gradually just became a part of our daily life. I think just for this one you should throw in the island part since what you're doing is basically like omitting the "land" of "disney land", even though Oda may have just tried to be creative since they're in the new world now. 19:02, February 18, 2012 (UTC)

re: See also/Site navigation
Hi! See my answer to Evanalmighty about this concern. I've got several requests on my todolist, but I'm in the home stretch for my work. I hope I'll be able to proceed next week.

Question clarification
i meant to ask in this example http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Leviathan_89/What_you_have_to_know_about_signatures#Creating_your_personal_signature_template where you showed the code for each part of the sign in that in the levianthan code you divided <> <> those both by ' ' ' ' ' ' i asked why did you write those ' ' ' ' between two functions/codes Vamsisonu

SBS 64
One eternity later, I've finally finished up SBS 64. Please add the pics for the last page when you find the time. Thanks. 17:42, April 1, 2012 (UTC)

Oh wow I looked and it's still there!

http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Talk:SBS_Volume_64

Somebody posted the page scans asking me to hurry up and finish the translating. Although it's in chinese, that doesn't affect the images and the quality is pretty good plus the size is big enough so I think we're good. I'm not on my home pc right now so it doesn't have an image cropping app on it, so I'll leave it to you. Thanks again. 21:13, April 1, 2012 (UTC)
