A Suggestion
I know this is the main page... But shouldn't its discussion page be purely for discussion on the main page itself? I'm talking about all our stuff on layouts and things. Really, from looking at how others have done this... This kind of thing is suppose to go on Community Portal page. I propose we move all this there, otherwise we're wasting this pages discussion page on stuff not related to it and the the Community portal page itself. It will make life easier in the longrun, if we keep general edit discussions and layouts there.

BTW... We have just Chopper's page to go. I'm doing that now, after that all the pages will require are some quick cleanups and we'll have our first set of finished and sparkling pages. ;) One-Winged Hawk 17:10, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I've moved the talk concerning the wikia as a whole to the community portal talk page. Sigmasonic X 02:15, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Storylines
Are you also going to add a Story-Arc section?

--You mean like that Mini-arcs on the titles pages? There really should be articles about those, since they are part of the story canon.

=Fansite= And thus, the consensus is Marines. I am never one to violate a consensus, but one thing is still bothering me. Wikis are encyclopedias, but this one behaves more like a fansite and its users more like rabid fans than writers of an encyclopedia. Wikipedia, as an encyclopedia, uses the literal translation of 海軍 (Navy) as opposed to 海兵隊 (Marine), which Oda has never spelled it as. Bon Clay/Bon Kurei, Arabasta/Alabasta, Lucci/Rucci, and Jyabura/Jabra work either way, so, no beef, but Kaigun and Kaiheitai cannot be flip-flopped. Also, you insist on using "Marines", plural, which Oga has never spelled it as. He has only spelled it as 海軍 and as MARINE, singular. So it is either the Marine, no "s", or the Navy, that is, if this was truly intended to be an encyclopedia. I have no prejudice against the users here, but they seem altogether more aggressive and angry than on other wikis. Take Joekido for example. I sympathize with him after reading his story, but the only thing he seems concerned with is either making this site better than, or otherwise totally copying, Arlong Park. That guy who insulted Wikipedia and that other guy who said the fans know more than those who do research are no better. So tell me, is this an encyclopedia, or a fansite. Sorry for wasting your time, Rodtheanimegod4ever 01:46, 9 December 2006 (UTC)


 * This is early stages right now everything is work in progress. Our progress is slow though due to the lack of editors here (there are about 8 whereas wikipedia has many). Where do you get the idea we're aggressive? We have had a few deputes here previously, but we're all a nice bunch once you to get to know us. Right now I'm trying to get Project Wikipedia Rescue underway so all the info there is over here by next Friday. Its due to the problems on wikipedia. This isn't a fan site, but we're slow progressing thats all. Give us a couple of months and everything will be different (I can ensure you). One-Winged Hawk 08:53, 9 December 2006 (UTC)


 * The truth, if you are just here from Wikipedia to "help" us we don't need your help. The truth is we ARE One Piece fans trying to build a proper place to keep One Piece information. MARINE is just what is written on their signs, which when romanized wouldn't be plural, plus it's showing it's association, which is is a MARINE vessal, a MARINE, uhh, soldier which is A Marine. I keep having to tell people, it's a literal translation, not a perfect translation, also foreign countries have a Marine Corp similar to the Japanese Navy, and knowing Oda he did this on purpose since he likes other cultures. Also the Navy article on Wikipedia has changed, but I dunno for how long. Cody2526 09:10, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Regarding pluralization - I don't know if this matters, but in the Japanese language, nouns aren't conjugated to look plural. Thus, one ringo (apple) would be equated to two ringo (apples). Whether this matters is, again, up to debate. It's an English word, but it might not be used in a sense which we'd all be familiar with. If you wanted to say there were two "Marines", you'd use a counter - hitori for one person, futari for two people, etc. :3 Sephirona 20:04, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

My page layout plan: Part 2
The same Joekido in October gave the main page many category entry and now he's fixing it again to make it look like any common Wikia. I had successfully insert the navigation bar and the One Piece Universe bar at the bottom. Soon I will create tamplates for Do You Know, Featured page, news articles and a quote articles to make the page high quality and common. Joekido

Page Bug?
I have no links on the left column on this page... Is this a bug anyone? One-Winged Hawk 22:26, 13 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Wait I get it... Joekido, that new layout is causing the page to go weird in my browser, those links start after the page layout ends, they stretch down the page. I don't know if it does the same for you + others. I think if anyone is getting it you need to relook at it. One-Winged Hawk 22:28, 13 December 2006 (UTC)


 * A quick experiment on this page revealed the Template is the cause of the problem. Odd because on its own page, there is no problem, nor is there a problem when its not on this page. Joekido, if you can't solve this I will try and solve it for you in the couple of days, it can't stay like this.


 * I'm baffled by it myself... I'm leaning towards saying 'start again from scratch'. You have some bugs in this table, the coding for it is awkward at best. I don't want to interfere without your permission on this note, beyond a couple of simple coding fixes I've already done. But if this can't be solved fast restart from scratch may be the only option and one of us is going to have to step in to aid you if need be.


 * Try rereading the tables page on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Table One-Winged Hawk 23:22, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Really? It's was going crazy? "sigh" I'll try my best to fix it. You may help if you know better

Joekido

Wookiepedia has the similar bug and yes I used some code from that site only to give me the example. And I tell you I'm not an wikicode expert but I will check the link you post to learn more. If you know better and want to start at the strech, that's fine because I need help. Go head and do what you want if you know how to fix it.

Joekido


 * Hmmm.... You COULD do a test and see if that template works on another page... It *may* be a bug linked to this page alone. If it works on another page, then I have another idea. Make this main page a "intro" page and then have the main directory list using a link from this page to it.


 * So instead of:


 * Main pages -> other pages


 * It would be:


 * Intro Page (formerly main page) -> Main directly page -> other directories.


 * If it works, its fine and you wouldn't have to start from scratch. One-Winged Hawk 08:29, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Temporary revert
Okay I've had to revert the page while Joekido fixes that template. Joekido, can you supply some details here on what exactly you want? I can help if I know what you want to achieve. I don't know if I can cure that templates problem though, but I can try if you can't work it out yourself. One-Winged Hawk 21:25, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Okay, I will tell you exactly what I want and you can do the codes but before you set them you tell me if the templates are done so I can inspect it before we can release the templates.

We need these:


 * Very top-center, must be a bus yellow color and red text

Width: 20%

Hight: 20%


 * Should be on the top-left of Mainpage-nav. The background should be bus yellow and red text

Width: 20%

Hight: 20%


 * Should be on the lowered centered. Background and text are the same and we need to be able to insert picture of the subject

Width: 80%

Higth: 80%


 * Should be left-bottom of the featured page with the same background and text color

Width: 80%

Hight: 80%


 * Should be on the right-bottom of the featured templates and the result is the same. You can restart it and try again with an fresh wiki code.

Width: 80%

Hight: 80%


 * Should be at the very bottom of the main page, at the bottom of Mainpage-opu and DoYouknow templates and should be at the the center

Width: 90%

Hights: 20%

Ask me of you have any questions and when your done, let me know so I can inspect first. Thanks.

Joekido

The last section is confusing... Whoas what happened there Joekido? O.o'

Simple, it's where we announce the release of the new chapters, or what happens to Oda or any situation in Shuiesha or the new episode Toei released or what ever happen to the production crew or any activities happening in this site or when Viz released the new Volumes or when a new Japanese Volume is released or whenever happens to 4Kids or what happens to the 4kids One Piece Production crew or what happen to One Piece around the world

For example:

DEC. 18, 2006: One Piece chapter 439 released

More example:

(Shuiesha announced One Piece Crossover) (4kids to stop dubbing One Piece?) (Greece cancels One Piece) (Oda fallen Ill?)

Joekido

Test Run
Okay! I'm giving Joekido's layout test run for one week since no one wants to discuss it. Its a temp. thing - I'll be wanting opinions at the end of the week on whether people like it or not. No opinion = I'll be breathing down your throat to know why.

If everyone is fine, it stays, is everyone hates it - it goes. There is still room for adjustments so if everyone is happy with it, I'll add some stuff then. But only then.

Okay here it goes! One-Winged Hawk 21:05, 16 January 2007 (UTC)


 * If reverted, old version can be found here:


 * Just so we don't loose our place. One-Winged Hawk 21:21, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I really like the layout of it, I think it looks really nice. One thing I really, really don't like about it, though, is the color. That's far too much of a bright color for the front page. Something lighter would be much better... Maybe something more neutral, like a light blue/purple/green would look fine? I don't know exactly, but the color really bothers me. ^^;; Other than that, though, I really like it. ^^ --Murasaki 23:01, 16 January 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm gonna let it sit here for a day before editing the colour. But I'll take it into mind. I'm waiting to see if anyone else says the same thing. :/ One-Winged Hawk 23:03, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

New layout
Well this has satisfied us for roughly 3 months now. As a starter main page, it was great. But its time we let this one go and try something thats:


 * Easier to adjust
 * Looks generally better
 * Easier to update
 * Decide the pros and cons of this one and move them over to a new one.

We need to all express some ideas on this matter. This is the first page everyone sees when they enter the site.


 * 1) Firstly, the main content part needs adjusting. I'm not saying loose this but this mode of traveling page to page is now redundant. We should collapse the pages linked around and recreate a better system.
 * 2) The Did you know section is really handy to put some points and info across, definitely keep it.
 * 3) Pictures? We have two. I'd like to see a moving image somewhere. But thats me. It just looks spiffy.
 * 4) Featured article. Great idea, however some problems. For one no one ever changes it.
 * 5) generally updates. Okay every Sunday, the first thing that needs to be done is this page needs to be updated.
 * 6) Quote of the day - I'd loose this
 * 7) Ads. Yeah sure we have the ads to the right, but what about our other ads? Okay we NEED to inter link to other One Piece sites. I know a lot of sites list somewhere on them a ad section but we don't have any.
 * 8) Wikipedia. Currently the only link we have is a one text link at the bottom I put in just to say "yeah it exists".

My thoughts. Since I'm not doing anything over Easter I'd like to tackle this problem most of all. One-Winged Hawk 08:18, 3 April 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm going to renew this discussion since it never happened... I've asked Jokeido if he'll be kind enough to design us a new one, but he doesn't seem to. So I'm going to have design it. Designing main pages is not my specialty, fixing them the best I can is... :/


 * So I'll begin today, if everyone can throw things by me I'll keep this discussion going. One-Winged Hawk 08:26, 22 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Some suggestions I guess.


 * As little red links as possible. They kinda don't look nice on a Main Page.


 * A different color scheme perhaps. The yellow background red text is good for small bars but it's not exactly good for a main page. Maybe try some colors related to pirates or the ocean. It's doesn't necessarily need to be black and white or blue to be related.


 * A big sign on top saying "Spoiler Warning" and stuff. It's hard for some pages to have a spoiler warning tag like Dragon's. I mean his full name alone spoils everything.


 * A better selection of Featured Articles. We may have to treat our featured articles like a store keeper treats his merchandise. A store keeper would always place his best wares on display rather than his worst. That way it would attract more customers even all he has is junk. The same goes for our articles.


 * These is all I got for now.Mugiwara Franky 12:55, 22 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Hmm... With featured articles, going by the "several articles" thing... How about this - A character, a place, a Devil Fruit, A crew/organization and one other page. Thats 6 featured articles and just about every type opf article we have. One-Winged Hawk 16:27, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

=Featured article=

Uhm, you all DO know we had the Gin article as a featured one for about a month or two (if not more).I believe more featured articles would be nice. User:New Babylon


 * Er well see... Erm... I'm kinda sort... Suppose to be working on the main page (hides). But your welcome to change it until then. You can retrieve the picky from the character guides on this page: Characters


 * Er... I better finish that main page this week! ^-^' One-Winged Hawk 20:48, 1 June 2007 (UTC)


 * ..........Well? User:New Babylon (a 15 day week.How interesting)


 * LOL, sorry I keep getting busy. Okay a finished version of the main page is now up. Two minor things that need to change about it:


 * Yellow top banner needs replacing with another just like it (will do that after this week if this is alright).
 * Contents and "did you know" - The situation with them is I'm putting redoing them on hold to see if everyone is fine with this for now.


 * On contents and Did you know... Listen. I need some help here. I just need a list of things we should and should not include. One-Winged Hawk 10:43, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

=Featured article V.2=

Hello. I'm here to bring up the ever-popular question about changing th featured article, which is the same for a few weeks now. And I know that It'll be OWH or AE to answer me, cause no one else here does (meaning on the main page talk page). I don't know how to change these things and I don't think almost anyone here CAN. So, a little candidate for the article:

Donquixote Doflamingo. I think Gin's doesn't exceed Dolfamingo's too much in length of importance.

User:New Babylon

Seeing this reminds me on how... I'm a week behind... Due to Internet probs (still not fixed, but at an acceptable level to get back to editing). I'll put up instructions, in theory this should be updated every Sunday:


 * 1) Go to template and open up in edit mode.
 * 2) Look for the correct picture on the Characters page in one of the guides (read italic text).
 * 3) Copy+paste it onto the templates current picture. This is the hard part. The rest is easy.
 * 4) As for text, thats usually just a copy+paste of the first few lines of the articles page. End it was "..." to imply there is more to read.
 * 5) The "read more" is just the characters page link, so replace the current one with the new one.

Its actually simpler than it seems. Once you've done it correctly once, future ones shouldn't be a problem. :) One-Winged Hawk 11:47, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

=Your WERY OWN Picture-Guy= Hello.As you have noticed,I have uploaded over 50 images.Regard me as you semi-official picture uploader. If there is a pic missing, then tell me and I'll try and find it-most of them are on the wikipedia, but for those that aren't I go to the Simple Gallery, or a german anime screenshot page. However, I have problems, because I have not been able to find any pages with the screencaps of episode 151 and for the current episodes- which is not SO bad, but it only means I'll have to get the screenshot from the manga. I WILL but you will have to understand that at times the images may be a bit low quality, depending on the scan.

To get back to the point-report a missing image/pic/flag and I'm on my way. Just put it into my talk page with the title "Picture Request 1(and following numbers)".

(PS:This is in the community café too, but as I wanted someone to read it........)

User:New Babylon


 * Well... We should really have a picture for each chapter/episode. Some already have images around the site so in a few cases, just copy and paste it here. But others... You need an image. Fancy that task? One-Winged Hawk 15:35, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

=Please Read= I'd like the community to read this. Thanks. Moonstone Alchemist

=New template look=

I hope you like it.If you don't I'll turn it back to normal.

User:New Babylon

Main page overhaul
Okay I've added the new main page layout. A little note, the contents and "did you know", Jowkido wants these separate but I have to keep the templates roughly the same so they remain "equal" as far as height goes. On that note I'll change that tomorrow (I'm busy, beyond a few things today). I know I have time to attempt that tomorrow.

It was intended to be separate but I wanted the two bits to be about equal, its hard to get those the same. I need to work that part out, I think I know how, so don't worry, I spotted some coding on wikipedia that can solve that. One-Winged Hawk 15:01, 31 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Side note: On the note of the contents page, I tried to match the contents listing into 4 groups of three according to their closeness. So since the story is found with the anime, manga and movies and grouped them together. The next line is the "basics" of the OP world, so locations, history and animals. The next is about the ppl in it so culture, arsenal, technology. And lastly, things related to the series but not part of its stories, so merchandise, VAs and international front. I think it makes it easier to handle slightly, but I don't know what ppl's opinions of that are of classifying them like this. One-Winged Hawk 15:11, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

I don't like it
Angel, I'm sorry to say but I don't like that design IMO and I would love revert it but knowing you, your as stubborn as I am so I'll say that the site picture needs to be put in, the "Do you know" section needs to be on separate table, the stat bar and navy bar was suppose to be at the top. However I will revert it until you fix it. Please don't revert it back. I understand that you're stressful, yet please don't let it hinder you.

Joekido 22:58, 31 August 2007 (UTC)


 * I am sorry... But I have to speak my mind here.


 * The big orange banner (which needs to have an image of sort added onto it, note its name is "temporary") replaces the icon. The "Did you know" and that is going to be done TOMORROW! I know you don't like it, but I'm not trying to cater for a single person here. As for the icon, we don't actually need it anyway. When the site logo is finished that will be all we need.


 * Look, we've got a main page no one has really done anything to in anys. I'm working on fixing up a professional looking one to replace the poorly done one we had that gives a bad impression about the organisation on the site. I'm not getting the fed back I need here so I'm working blind, I can't just write this to suit one person anymore (you). If I'm trying my best, I'm trying my best. I figured "Get someone done" so we had something to work with.


 * I work on a lot of testing, your reverts annoy me, I don't get the chance for everyone to see what I've done so far and react good or bad to it. One-Winged Hawk 23:29, 31 August 2007 (UTC)


 * The mainpage looks better than what it was before I guess. I guess you can call it a work in progress. Anyway, it's best to test things and then improve them later if needed. Also, it maybe a good idea to ask other users directly to give their opinions on this. This, like the site's logo, really needs some attention.Mugiwara Franky 01:55, 1 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Now this is the response I wanted to hear. Okay, I'll ask when I try to separate the did you know and contents section later. :) One-Winged Hawk 08:10, 1 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Before I forget... On the big orange banner, I was thinking, if we get the logo subject sorted the best step might be to design that banner to match the logo. Its just an idea... One-Winged Hawk 08:21, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Ok, I'll just cut some slack here and let Angel handle it.

Joekido 02:50, 1 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Its amazing what half an hour peace at home and a nearly asleep state of mind can achieve. There you go, even managed to slot the icon back in. The second part surprised me, but checking over wikitables on wikipedia I managed to work out the best way to get it back in there. It had caused some problems before. Which is nice since our main page looks just a little less like a giant orange peel now.


 * Speaking of colours. I did orange for traditional reasons and be cause I didn't know any better colours, but if anyone wants to change it, they are free to do so. The colours are meaningless to me. One-Winged Hawk 21:29, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Cartoons and Comics Footer
The One Piece Wiki is part of the Cartoons and Comics Hub on Wikia. The hubs are trying to get Wikia's entertainment wikis more linked with each other. It's not mandatory, but it would be appreciated if someone could add the footer to the bottom of the Main Page using. It'll look something like this:


 * ~Dantman -local (talk) Sep 15, 2007 @ 23:30 (UTC)


 * Consider it done. One-Winged Hawk 07:31, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

=New FA=

Well,did Purin-Purin this week and also FINALLY found blue in the template color.Does anyone know the combinations for specific colors? User:New Babylon

Do You Know Update
There was a reason why I wanted Angel to have it in a box instead of merging it with the page. It need to be updated now, all we need is to create a archives for the previous "Do You Know" articles and put a new one. Since One Piece is becoming more like Star Wars and it has many "Do You Know" facts so I think it should start updating it every 3 or 4 weeks so let's start planning on the next fact

Joekido 09:26, 3 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Can you limit them to just 3 or 4... The two templates are not aligned and that contents/archieves bit is disrupting the page. One-Winged Hawk 15:58, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Request page
We really need a request page for images.Like Governor or Randolph.

User:New Babylon

Reason for deleting the footer
Someone vandalize the Wikia footer template by posting a picture of some goofy nerdy girl with a caption saying "do it fraggot" so I delete it until it's fixed and I will voice my compliant about this and beg the staffers to protect the template.

Joekido 23:26, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

= Is there a place where people around here actually GO?=

I mean, I'm feeling like I'm alone here half the time. I mean, I've done over 25 featured articles and I had ONE comment, by Angel. Now, I'm not pushing ANYBODY, BUT seeing as I do this for the site, I'd be really glad if SOMEBODY would come to Template Talk:Featured Article and actually say if he likes my choices or not.

I actually GAVE UP on VOTING a LONG time ago and decided to post F.A.'s as an absolute Monarch, HOWEVER, with NO REPLIES WHATSOEVER I feel that people just don't care. In fact, I was the only one who asked when we had Shanks as a F.A. for 2 months or so. I mean, I came to the site a years after it started, yet Shanks was the THIRD Featured Article. That kinda bugs you.

Also, I have questions to ask regarding some articles-however, if I place em there, I can wait up till several days before someone responds. Now,this isn't as bad as over at Wikipedia, where you had to wait a MONTH at some articles and others, who have had comments posted by me during the time when I posted (before I was f**ked up by the staff, who deleted one of my articles, at which I sat for an hour and a half just writing summaries, plus uploading images, etc. They deleted it solely on the grounds that it was "not notable" (a result based on the fact that it is a CZECH book and not an ENGLISH one (whereas there were tuns of kept and untouched english book stubs, which, compared to my own article, wouldn't even deserve a place in a book encyclopedia entry and that the czech Wikipedia does not cover it. Well, considering the czech wikipedia does NOT cover 90 % of what it should and is located down there at the bottom of the barrel article number-wise, with Burmeese and Bavarian Dialect Wikipedia). After deleting many of my one piece images and deleting my created pages (what IS strange is that short series and one-movie only characters have, in the majority, their OWN pages, even if they appeared for what, 8 hours, whereas One Piece characters have been around for 10 years-please TELL ME-WHICH IS MORE NOTABLE?), I just decided that I don't care anymore. I mean, even serious historical research lists, like my List of Monarch deposed in xth century series, got targeted twice. EVEN THOUGH there was a list for 20th century. THAT was it for me, actually. But thats not what I wanna talk about.

You see-I wanted to find the FIRST Romance dawn-the one with Silk and Crescent Moon Galley-and you know what? Half of what pops up as "Romance Dawn v. 1" and is NOT a simple "listing" (that I love when you search for some actual WORK and all you can find is tons of "lists", being the most meaningless stubs, listing only the authors name and works WITHOUT any links where to find them) is actually Romance Dawn v. 2. OP Manga v. 2 does not have it, nor does the failed experiment that is V. 3 (where I originally went, but which ended with not only loosing 99% of the chapters and only having TB arc, but being currently ca. 15 chapters behind) nor the original V.1 (which I think Kinda disappeared)

So this is my actual request, with a bit of rambling.

User:New Babylon


 * Angel has no opinions on the FAs... Only that your doing a great job and that she wants not to interfere and cause you hassle. Angel has been busy lately in life and hasn't had much time for wikipedia nor the wikia. Angel's life sucks!


 * Romance Dawn V.2... Angel says can find that on the MSN site... V.1 of that site Angel thinks it was, listed as "One shot" or something. Angel has V.1 of RD on my computer, but its a bit big... To upload. Angel has MSN, you have MSN? Angel can send you it. But Angel warns you - its never been translated. :(


 * Angel has no idea why she speaks in third person, only that it must be because she is bored. One-Winged Hawk 11:40, 3 January 2008 (UTC)


 * No-Romance Dawn VERSION ONE. One Piece Manga v. 2 has Romance Dawn VERSION TWO. I am NOT looking for the romance dawn with Ann and Spiegel the Hexagon-BUT for the one with Silk and Crescent Moon Galley. Do you have THAT one? New Babylon 12:46, 3 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Aye and I said I have that one... Just not in English. If you can find a translator, I'll be happy to give it to you. :( One-Winged Hawk 14:41, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Okay, today we've reached our 30th Featured Article on the main site.

I think this would deserve a celebration.

 * There has been 30 of them? Wow... I wasn't paying attention enough to notice that! O.o One-Winged Hawk 19:35, 6 January 2008 (UTC)


 * You know, I think I'm gonna do one of those star things they have on wikipedia and put it up on all 30 as "former featured articles", cept I plan to make special ones for every tenth. The 100th must be celebrated in some awesome way. If only this site would have a forum adjected to it. New Babylon 13:47, 7 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Make the stars special... OP styled (I don't know how, but thats not my problem, maybe blue like Franky's with a face of a character on it or something spiffy like that :P). One-Winged Hawk 15:10, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Links n' stuff
So as cool as One Piece and this Wiki are, I have 2 major issues with the site.


 * 1) alot of verbs ,especially is and are, dont have the right tense.
 * 2) (No clue why this bothers me, but it should be fixed anyways) ALOT OF FRIGGIN' LINKS ARE RED AND THEREFORE LEAD NOWHERE!!!!! like when people link "Bleach" because it's mentioned once in an Anime artile or somethin'...fix it PLEASE!!!--SxeFluff 10:59, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

I'm lookin thru articles an fixing some too :]--SxeFluff 12:31, 15 July 2008 (UTC)


 * well I can answer about half of those red links;


 * Some are place holders, like the chapter ones. We just haven't gotten round to them but need them there for when we do.  There are 500+ chapters now.  When I was doing them I found myself fighting a loosing battle since I didn't have time to do them and no one was aiding me.  They take longer then you'd think. And I'm not even going to look at episodes. :-O
 * Some are old, broken or forgotten links that haven't been spotted.
 * A few don't deserve to exist.


 * As for tense... I don't know. So many different writers have come and, so many pages to monitor, few people read guidelines we have (its like beating a rubber egg with a spoon made of jelly sometimes). When we started we were lucky to have 100 pages.  Joekido had a dream to make it 5,000 pages big.  But I found myself having a go at him because by the time we reached 1,000 we had pages for the sake of pages.  Some thing don't deserve to have pages.  There are many lost links.  Trying to piece them together is hard sometimes, espically since most of the orginal core editors are now gone, BF, MF, NB and myself are all thats left.  I think even Joe's gone now.  :-/


 * We've picked up a lot of new editors in the last 6 months to replace them, the wikia is getting there. The most dominate problems is people editing and not referencing. I put the refs in when I find them, but I've little time for them these days.--One-Winged Hawk 18:25, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi :) I haven't been here very long, but from what I've seen so far, all the people who contribute to this site are working their hardest to improve everything. One Piece is a massive series and there's a reason it's so popular, so it makes sense if articles take a longer time to reach perfection. I, like you, began editing small grammar and spelling mistakes - at first anonymously. Then I figured I'd join, since I don't like lurking. :3 Given there are some people whose edits do more harm than good...there are so many theories and such, since OP's storyline is so intricate...but I think that, in general, the people who're editting here aren't trying to mess things up on purpose. There are arguments, but the fact that people stay and continue testifies to how great a series OP really is. I saw things weren't perfect, so I wanted to pitch in and help too. That's why this encyclopedia will succeed, even if it doesn't look perfect immediately. We already have more good content than a lot of other wikias that started way before this one. `-` Sephirona 20:52, 15 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Considering we're one of the bigger wikias out there be thankful. This wikia was around before the Naruto one and I seem to recall last time I sneeked a peek at it it was a lot smaller and a lot more useless... Then again, once upon a time we were like that.  All Wikias go through stages.  When you compare the pages to how they once were, they are 7/10 when they used to be 3/10.  --One-Winged Hawk 22:15, 15 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I'll say one thing, though I'd prefer it if it had taken a lot longer for better quality reason, Joekido's dream to see us bigger then the Star Wars wikia has made us where we are now. Even if it has given us a never ending load if problems, we must credit him undoubtly for that.  --One-Winged Hawk 22:32, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Also plenty of articles have the same link to the same place too many times. Like the Pirate King article has links for One Piece, Gold Roger with 5 and 3 links respectively, even though the article is only half a page. Sorry if I seem naggy, but I also find this wiki to have high hopes and high standards.--SxeFluff 22:54, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Imma take some of those links in that article down By the way.--SxeFluff 22:55, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

The Link for the One Piece site "OnePieceLine" in the One Piece Sites section is useless as OnePieceLine no longer exist, instead it is OnePieceFans.com that is the continuation of the site.--RamenCreation 05:19, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

New Babylon 11:03, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Fixed
The bug with the happenings template was fixed:


 * 1) You can't slap one template on another with 50+ new lines and hope for the best, tepmlates are unforgiving like that.
 * 2) The Contents template needed to be adjusted so it could "float" feeely on the page without restrictions of alignment.

Someone should have tried speaking to the rest of the community and explain how they were doing things. I was also disappointmed someone else hadn't fixed this. Com'on... I only did the orginal layouts as temp layout. Writing a layout for a main page, though I can do it, strains me since I have to figure out what was done to it previously and what I have to do to it now to make it world.

Ah... Forget it... If I sound annoyed sorry, its not annoyance just disappointance. I'm actually annoyed because site maintance last night didn't let me fix the problem until this morning. I had seen what was wrong here 12 hours ago. It can't be helped... X-D --One-Winged Hawk 07:01, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Oda's e-mail

I think he might know english. Chibbo Matto


 * Okay you signed your commnets. You still didn't sign your name right though... ~, but thats not a problem too much since at least you signed, however please don't edit other people comments.


 * From his words in one SBS, no he doesn't. He insisted that e-mail be sent in English.  He did get a lot of French letters when a forums bulk sent, which he did reply, with some help from someone else.  But he knows only some one-off stuff from the impression he leaves in reguarding all languages.  I have no doubts he hasn't picked up the basics of some languages, what with the amount of research he has put into this.  However, I don't think it would be wise to presume he *knows* English.  --One-Winged Hawk 21:49, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Okay, thanks. Anyway, anyone knows how to contact him somehow? Chibbo Matto A.F.G.S. 23:01, 5 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Oh yes! You can send letters to the SBS bit of OP... Erm... But your going to have to ask at ARlong Park forums or something for more.  You must get the adress of the Japanese SBS, not the US translation.  --One-Winged Hawk 01:41, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

updates
Since the current events have gotten bigger and bigger as time passes by, I've moved it to the main section of the page, where it can expand all it wants and not leave us with that huge white gap. Incidently, I'm calling into question the need for the anouncements template, which should only be used for announcing important info release. Like a new data book, a game, a movie, a interview... Etc. Curent events deals with manga and anime.

Also I moved the site info back to the bottom of the page where its suppose to be... Did I move that, I can't think why I'd move it up the page. Regardless its back where it shuld have been. O_o' One-Winged Hawk 20:01, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Warning about the tables
Okay, I won't stress how much I hate rich text, esp. now its been responisble for ****ing things up on our main page! Basically, for now, don't edit anything on it, therich text is converting the coding for the tables. I'm going to see if this is a one off event or something. One-Winged Hawk 20:09, 15 July 2009 (UTC)


 * New stupid act rich text is doing; adding new lines between the various tables on the page. Seriously, this is like the 3 website like this to add rich text and like the other two, I'm loathing this every minute.  >_< One-Winged Hawk 06:48, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

I give up.
I just wanted to add tr wikia but I ended up vandalising the page. But it is not my fault. I didn't change those things, I even roll it back, it change everything again. Well, sorry for this, but I didn't mean to do it.

Advertisement? (It's Annoying)
Hi. It's happened three times now that while I or my brother are browsing this website, another tab on our internet pops open with a dialogue box that claims our computer has been infected with malicious software and that we must click "okay" to download an anti-virus program. As far as I can tell, I think it's an advertisement because it looks nothing like my anti-virus software I already have installed on my computer. It's getting annoying as I have to exit my browser to avoid any possible virus downloads, and I can't spend too much time browsing here because of it popping up after I've looked through a few pages. If it's really an advertisement, would it be possible for you to contact the Wikia people about it? And if it isn't, is there something that can be done to prevent it from happening again? Thank you very much. --76.243.38.183 23:32, 31 July 2009 (UTC)CelestialSushi

Your computer is infected. Get a new virus scanner. I recommend Drunk Samurai 07:03, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi again. The thing popped up again last night and closed my internet browser when I was trying to look at the episode list part of this website. I spoke with someone recently about this and he (being all too familiar with viruses as he said his computer is infected often) said that it definitely sounds like a virus-embedded advertisement or something to that effect. I really don't think it's my computer doing this because as far as I know, computers aren't supposed to give you "warning" pop-ups that tell you to click the link to download anti-virus software.--76.243.38.183 15:08, October 16, 2009 (UTC)CelestialSushi

Making a link to a complaint forum on the Main Page
Considering there are some people who don't just talk to us about the problems of the site and just whine in other forums, would it be helpful if there was some sort of link to the Site Problems forum, or any other form of complaint forum for that matter, on the main page. It would help people locate where to express their complaints much to an extent instead of mouthing off behind our backs.Mugiwara Franky 12:49, December 1, 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah, that will have to be done tomorrow if I do it. I've got this afternoon = busy. I think it should be a link possibly to part of our forums, a new page entitled "complaints" or something.  To be honest, we loose a lot of credit over the stupidity of those who KNOW how wiki works and DON'T take advantage of how it works.


 * Its like their afriad of us sometimes. :-/ One-Winged Hawk 12:53, December 1, 2009 (UTC)


 * For some of it, it seems more like there is a lack of communication or at least a proper place to express it. A visitor complaints forum would be a good place for both them and us as it may lighten the misunderstandings that happen between this wikia and them.Mugiwara Franky 13:04, December 1, 2009 (UTC)


 * Judging by the reactions on AP, its a complete waste of time.

One Piece game
Hey guys, this isn't any kind of advertisement; a friend of mine named Leone and I were thinking of making a One Piece based text based rpg and if gets successful we plan to make a 3d version (please note that 3d games take years of planning coding so don't think it'll be easy but we'll work hard for this amazing community that I have been inspired by over the last few weeks.) and no this won't be some stupidly planned game that just ends up getting sued for infringement because we were idiotically ripping off too much stuff from One Piece, no that is not what we're aiming for and that is not what's going to happen.

This is an activity of sorts for all you ONE PIECE LOVERS (myself included) for all of you who want to help make this game by supplying us with accurate information and good ideas based on the game and mind you as I said we are not looking to get sued we just want to make a fun game of everyones favorite manga & anime. So all of you creative thinkers out there with a penchant for bright and enlightening game play ideas on One Piece and how the game should function, please send an application to either myself or my associate Leone Mitchel vist me on my talk page or sent Leone and e-mail; chadmitchellleone@yahoo.com.

The Death of Portgas D Ace
I think we should add something (a special template, a flag on half-staff or a black ribbon) to the main page in order to commemorate this. El Chupacabra 16:56, February 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * While that maybe for respect and all but the current events would probably be enough. Plus it's starting to get abit out of hand saying Ace is Dead all over the wikia, especially since the next chapter or any other chapter after that may have something that could change the situation.Mugiwara Franky 18:05, February 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Just a note here: as a fan of the anime and not the manga i'm pretty mad at that commemoration coz it constitutes a MAJOR SPOILER, don't you think???? 41.234.150.82 19:52, February 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Spoiler issues aside, I've wondered about that should we not consider the current chapter events as true until further revealed or explained in future chapters? Even if Ace is resurrected a 100 chapters down the road does not change that on the current standing he is dead.--Uncanny Ultrabeast 20:10, February 14, 2010 (UTC)

Joekido 07:59, March 4, 2010 (UTC)

Some personal notes about Main Page
1) Main Page seems a bit overloaded. Must all the links to other sites be here? Maybe we can put them on a separate page and just link to it (for example, from the sidepanel).

2) Another disadvantage is imho that most part of Main Page is addressed to an "editor", and only little part to "one who wants to explore the world of One Piece" - only the "Contents" block, which unfortunately links to some pages that need serious rewriting (e.g. Atlas). Ruxax 11:41, April 23, 2010 (UTC)

RIP
Don't you think it is enough time for RIP Whitebeard to stay on the main page? Ruxax 20:04, May 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * Why was it created in the first place??? We've never celebrated a character death before. One-Winged Hawk 21:16, May 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * The RIP template was created by El Chupabara when Ace died. After that it was used for Whitebeard. Respectful I guess but enough time has indeed passed for it to be removed.Mugiwara Franky 23:35, May 9, 2010 (UTC)

Names
I'd just like to say that I really think this site is terrible with names. They erase every correction I make, i.e. Sir Crocodile, Sanjuan Wolf, and Monkey D Luffy.

1. Sir Crocodile is most likely Crocodile's full name, or at the very least Sir is his title every time he is fully introduced (he's one of the rare characters to have a formal introduction twice) his name is written サー•クロコダイル, which translates to Sir Crocodile. But every time I change this, it is changed back. I'm willing to admit that it might be a title, but if that is the case then they should remove the Don from Don Krieg's page. Because Don is definitely not part of Krieg's name. He's just Krieg, check out his Wanted poster that's all that their is written. P.S. Almost every Japanese site spells Crocodile's name out as サー•クロコダイル when introducing him (including the official Japanese One Piece site).

Here's a message a left the user KDom after he reversed my edits concerning Sir Crocodile's name:

"Well if you read the original Japanese raws when he is introduced you can see that his name is spelled　サー•クロコダイル chapter 155、 the Japanese site when introducing him also calls him サー•クロコダイル: http://www.j-onepiece.com/chapter02/story/story5_1.html. Characters occasionally, including Nico Robin, call him サー•クロコダイル. I was inclinded to think that this was only a title as a Royal Shichibukia until I read chapter 540 in the original Japanese, which still introduced him as サー•クロコダイル. Having the title Sir after being revoked of his status as a Shichibukai. Also this isn't a title of the Shichibukai at all. When Jinbei is introduced, his name is simply stated as ジンベエ not サー•ジンベエ. So I'm inclined to go with the original Japanese manga over the character book. What do you think?"

2. Sanjuan Wolf. For some reason someone on this site thinks Sanjuan Wolf name should be San Juan Wolf. If that was the case then his name in Japanese would have been spelled サン•ファン•ワルフ, but it isn't it's spelled サンファン•ワルフ. Every character in the original text of One Piece has the spaces in their names separated by the marker •, even in speech bubbles. Even titles such as Captain or Don are separated by the mark •. So why is サンファン•ワルフ translated San Juan Wolf? Because of the places? Well he's not those places, his name is very simular but until we see a Wanted Poster showing the correcting spelling we should all assume there is no space.

3. Monkey D Luffy. Actually this goes to towards the entire D clan. For some reason this site feels the necessary to put a period after every D in the D clansmen's names. Here why that is wrong. If you put a period after the D it signifies that it has been shortened. The D is not shortened. That this entire name. Luffy's full name isn't Monkey Delware Luffy, It's Monkey D Luffy. The periods after the Ds are errors. No one in the series has stated anything for us to believe that there is more to the name than just D. It is true that the name D might stand for something but the name itself is just D, until proven otherwise. P.S. technically speaking Luffy's name is spelled out Monkey•D•Luffy. That's how it's spelled on his wanted poster dots and all. His wanted poster is the only one shown that has those dots.

Edit: I forgot to include my strongest point for the D not having a period. Read chapter 574, when Portgas D Rouge names her son, she says Gol D Ace. Now when naming your child don't you think that you would say his whole name, and not just an initial? That's because she did.

So I implore this site to fix these errors, as I have tried and have been stopped every step of the way. Mr.S 13:14 May 25, 2010 (UTC)

1. See Crocodile talk page.

2. This is how the 'San Juan' written in Japanese.

3. D is a middle initial.

No one in the series has stated anything for us to believe that there is more to the name than just D. Oda stated. Tipota 13:47, May 25, 2010 (UTC)

1. Ok, all that proves is that I haven't been the first to point out that Crocodile's surname is most likely Sir. Which raises the questions of why there is no mention of Sir at all in his page.

2. You are still ignoring that every character's name in One Piece is spaced by •. And by the way San Juan is spelled multiple ways in Japanese the most common being サンフアン and サンワン. Both of which are different from the One Piece character's name サンファン. Katakana is a far than perfect phonetic alphabet used to try and convert foreign words into Japanese to make them easier to say by native Japanese speakers. Just because a character's name is spelled out similar word in Katakana doesn't mean they are have the exact spelling when translated into the roman alphabet and vice versa (see the multiple San Juan spellings above). So that argument is null if you ask me.


 * Chopper does not have a dot between the 2 Tony and we do not write it Tonytony. Since the D are a very particular case I don't think they should be considered. In the romanisation you gave there isn't a dot either. It's obviously a reference to the spanish surname, so I think it settles the case. Kdom 20:23, May 25, 2010 (UTC)

3. Please state in which volume that the SBS states that Oda says this. I'll go to a Book Off tomorrow and check it out. But even then, if it does stand for something that doesn't mean that it's an initial. My full middle name can be Seph, and I was named after Sephiroth. That doesn't mean my name is spelling of the name Someone Seph. Somebody. If it is true that the D is an initial I'm very curious that no character seems to be aware of what the rest of the name means. And if they aren't aware of it then that would mean that it is currently just D. Maybe their will be an event later that will cause characters to somewhat change their names adding to the D.  But as of now nothing suggests in the manga that their is anymore to D than just D.  Again I could be wrong but I would like to read the original Japanese SBS where he says there is more to the name than D.Mr.S 14:46, May 25, 2010 (UTC)Mr.S
