Spotlight
Hey Sxerks, is it alright if I could put up the new spotlights?--White Flash (Contact) 00:03, January 1, 2013 (UTC)

Voice Actors
Excuse me, but would you like me to make infoboxes for the voice actors? I know some sites where I'm able to get photos of them, and if I find additional info, I'd be happy to expand their articles. I just noticed they're rather lack-luster in many ways compared to other articles. Thank you. FallenShadow  &bull;   Talk   &bull;   Email
 * I'll see what I can do.--Sxerks (talk) 16:09, January 15, 2013 (UTC)
 * Just passing by, but I saw a couple of infoboxes that would be a nice fitting for the voice actor pages (English and Japanese). Here's what I have so far, hey Sxerks, whenever you have some free time can you check out ? It's a little complex for me, it has SMW coding.--White Flash (Contact) 18:48, January 21, 2013 (UTC)
 * Seems kinda complicated, where did you get it from. It shouldn't have SMW in it, don't know why it does.--Sxerks (talk) 22:46, January 21, 2013 (UTC)
 * I got it from Narutopedia.--White Flash (Contact) 22:52, January 21, 2013 (UTC)

Animangafooter
I was wondering if you would take a look at this. Also, I hope you don't mind me archiving 2012 talk page and starting 2013. 06:54, January 15, 2013 (UTC)
 * replied on that talk page.--Sxerks (talk) 16:09, January 15, 2013 (UTC)

Manhwa?
The Animangafooter contains 'Transfer Student Storm Bringer' which really isn't a manga. Can I or should I remove it? 04:52, January 16, 2013 (UTC)
 * we have manhwa here, so it's fine, just not cartoons and comics.--Sxerks (talk) 06:28, January 16, 2013 (UTC)

Old anime wiki
Sxerks, when wikia killed the old anime wiki they killed off a bunch of reference, licensing info, source data for the mascot being used, etc... without it being copied anywhere else.

I talked with a staff member awhile ago and he decided that restoring that needs a community discussion (https://docs.google.com/document/d/13kqQFc18Tsa96NMEtmCoSk1lFrOLH3aqDRoQ9Uy5m74/pub).

Though it looks like Wikia went and broke the forums here too. I'm not sure where to start a community discussion. ~ Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (Local Talk &#8285; Animanga Talk) 07:14, March 12, 2013 (UTC)


 * Ya, that was a while ago. Don't they usually make a database dump or archive of a wiki before they close it?


 * I didn't notice the Forums were messed up, since I never use them, but looks like "?action=purge" fixes them.--Sxerks (talk) 15:11, March 12, 2013 (UTC)


 * Else try adding.
 * Anyways not the reason why I am here.
 * Could anyone please remove this from Anime-Common.css:

Voice Actors
Would it be alright if I copied some iBox related templates here and made a Voice Actor template that put information into Semantic Properties? I'd think it be nicer than linking to wikipedia for voice actors on many anime wikis. And if wanted, spiff up some of the other templates. — S im A nt 21:17, March 12, 2013 (UTC)


 * It looks like some of the ibox templates are here, there was some work on VA templates if you look a couple header up on my talk page. Maybe contact those people and see what is in common. And yes, it would be better if things link here instaed of wikipedia.  As for Semantic properties, it would be ok as long as they didn't interfere with any of the current properties.--Sxerks (talk) 21:42, March 12, 2013 (UTC)
 * Should the Voice actor pages contain information about non-voice acting roles? — S im A nt 22:08, March 12, 2013 (UTC)
 * It's an article about the person, so any info on them appropriate.--Sxerks (talk) 22:58, March 12, 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi, apparently somewhere along the line this bug fix was omitted in the transfer between the old anime wiki. Could you place

.box.infobox dl dl, .box.infobox ul ul { margin-left: 15px !important; } in Mediawiki:Anime-Common.css. Thanks — S im A nt 21:34, March 13, 2013 (UTC)
 * I changed the template to be one for a person instead of only a voice actor. Could you take a look at Special:FormEdit/Person/User:Simant/Sandbox and tell me your thoughts about it. What is missing, etc. The css for the form is here — S im A nt 19:57, March 14, 2013 (UTC)


 * VA's like Rie Kugimiya have a lot of roles, and those make up most the the article, that info is too much for an infobox. Other than that, it looks good.--Sxerks (talk) 20:08, March 14, 2013 (UTC)
 * I can set the box to be collapsed so the voice actors, etc. only show if the user clicks it. Would that work? Edit: Also we can change the css so that the linespacing is less between items. — S im A nt  20:25, March 14, 2013 (UTC)
 * The infoboxes are just going to be too long, and the info really shouldn't be hidden. I think a default loaded template like Template:SeriesDefault would work in the article page with different sections like "intro text" then headers for each job type with a default comment of "remove this section if not applicable" under each header.--Sxerks (talk) 20:57, March 14, 2013 (UTC)
 * So should I either make the template that is like SeriesDefault part of the form, along with the text before it as part of the template, or not part of the form like http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Naruto:_Clash_of_Ninja#Playable_Characters? — S im A nt 17:49, March 15, 2013 (UTC)
 * Can it even be part of a form and display in a separate section of the page?--Sxerks (talk) 18:49, March 15, 2013 (UTC)
 * The problem is that the form puts the template before the main text of the page. So either the text content before the voice actors has to be in the form. Although I had a thought, if Variables extension was installed, I could try storing the values in that and using a simple template later in the page to reference the variable. Although the array extension may be better for this purpose, i'll play around a bit on a wiki that has them installed. — S im A nt 18:58, March 15, 2013 (UTC)
 * Probably just load it like the SeriesDefault is then, and not have it part of the form.--Sxerks (talk) 19:04, March 15, 2013 (UTC)
 * okay, did like you suggested, could you ask wikia to enable the Extension:Variables? — S im A nt 02:12, March 17, 2013 (UTC)
 * Ok, I got an email back that it has been enabled.--Sxerks (talk) 23:58, March 17, 2013 (UTC)
 * Check out User:Simant/Sandbox, Special:FormEdit/Person/User:Simant/Sandbox, if you want I can enabled it so edit with form shows up on category:Person. Also about the changes to Mediawiki:Anime-Common.css I asked for earlier, I made a mistake, while that works for stuff in infoboxes it doesn't work on the css class causing the problem itself (which is why my sandbox entries aren't indented). So remove the previous css and put in under where "/* Lists -Dantman */" is.

.list-noicon ul ul { margin-left: 15px !important;} , thanks. — S im A nt 04:30, March 18, 2013 (UTC)

We have a Category:People already in use (instead of person). Each of the Occupation check boxes should also add a corresponding category to the article.--Sxerks (talk) 05:32, March 18, 2013 (UTC)
 * I'd prefer to redirect a category to a semantic concept instead of a category. — S im A nt 04:45, March 19, 2013 (UTC)
