Re: Why not fix Candidates for Deletion?
We don't have good cleanup, or a specific template for bad wp copies. As for the "job" of an "admin". No-one has any jobs, responsibilities, or obligations on a wiki. "Admins" are nothing but users who demonstrate they know enough about the wiki and can be responsible with the permission flag. You can't expect that every single time some editor makes a poor edit an admin is going to spend a bunch of time on each page writing a better article. Tagging the page at the least gives the ability for the pages in need of improvement or rewriting can be found again. ~ NOTASTAFF Dantman(Local Talk &#8285; Animanga Talk)

RE: Cleaning up the Wiki and Being a Bureaucrat
SMW isn't working on any Wikia wiki right now, Wikia is having issues with it and the 1.16 upgrade so they disabled it... again. Probably best to just get used to Wikia once in awhile messing SMW up.

I don't really see anything in your list that requires sysop permissions, much less bureaucrat. If you see something that needs cleaning up, then go ahead and clean it up. If you think you can fix the series template, then fix it, it's not protected. If you see something that needs deleting, then tag it for deletion. The quick (ours) and speedydeletion (from Wikia's templates) categories are empty, and Category:Candidates for Deletion is only populated by pages which were tagged because they were a bad Wikipedia copy before we had the template which they should be switched to use, and one template that I'd like to delete, but is annoyingly being used on a lot of old ugly stuff. So there isn't much to "delete" for a sysop. If you see something without any tags on it that should be deleted, that's what we have the delete template for.

The job of a sysop is simply supposed to be to do the things like deletion, protection, and banning that the community needs or requests. The best way to get the flag is to demonstrate you understand the wiki's own local policies and how it works, edit normally, and tag so many pages that actually need deleting for deletion and make so many valid requests for modifications to a protected page that the people already with the flag get tired of handling the requests and feel it's easier to just give you the flag so you can do them yourself. ~ NOTASTAFF Dantman(Local Talk &#8285; Animanga Talk) 10:33, January 17, 2011 (UTC)

?
Hey Herald, I saw you answering my question over Tycio's talk page and I was wondering if you can help me again, do you know the characters in this image? I know there's Hatsune Miku, Lelouch, the guy from Fullmetal Alchemist but who are the other two in white?--White Flash (Contact) 01:34, November 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks a ton. It's been driving me insane trying to figure out who those characters are.--White Flash (Contact) 14:01, November 1, 2012 (UTC)

Affiliations
Hi Herald, I was thinking if your wikis; Angel Beats, Shakugan no Shana, Toaru Majutsu no Index, Black Rock Shooter, and Kore ha Zombie desuka would like to affiliate with K Wiki and Samurai 7 Wiki?--White Flash (Contact) 05:25, November 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * It'll just be a normal affiliation. So is
 * Toaru Majutsu no Index Wiki
 * Shakugan no Shana Wiki
 * Black Rock Shooter Wiki
 * Kore ha Zombie Desuka Wiki
 * up for the affiliation?--White Flash (Contact) 14:17, November 6, 2012 (UTC)

New Theme
Hey Herald, since I saw the new logo you made for Animanga, I was thinking if you could do a new theme?--White Flash (Contact) 04:28, November 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * Okay I got the colors now here's my idea of the theme. We can have main characters from popular anime such as Ichigo and Naruto or have something like this having Japan, Lelouch vi Lamperouge and Setsuna F. Seiei all in white as the background. What do you think?--White Flash (Contact) 07:17, November 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * Hmm, well that's all I can think of, what do you have in mind?--White Flash (Contact) 07:41, November 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * I think Sxerks would know. As for the Halloween Spotlight, yeah, I'll remove it.--White Flash (Contact) 08:01, November 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * Check my talkpage Sxerks left a message about the new theme.--White Flash (Contact) 05:54, November 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * Who was the one who create the pics of our mascot?--White Flash (Contact) 17:52, November 12, 2012 (UTC)
 * So our idea for a new theme failed?--White Flash (Contact) 01:19, November 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * We really need more users to have them share their ideas of a new theme. For the front page, do you have any thoughts on how it should look?--White Flash (Contact) 05:37, November 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, I haven't had any ideas in the past couple of days with school work and all ლ(ಠ益ಠლ) I was thinking if we could ask Tycio to have his thoughts of a new theme and front page?--White Flash (Contact) 05:35, November 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * Okay here's something, what if we have the word "Anime" on the left side and "Manga" on the right?--White Flash (Contact) 06:02, November 23, 2012 (UTC)

RE:List of Anime/Manga Wikia
The Forum list was initially for just listing wikis that existed so that local pages could be made, in order to bring this wiki up to speed. I haven't edited it in a year or more and basically have abandoned manually updating it.

I have thought about auto updating it using the info added to the article pages, but I'm not sure how possible it is, and would probably have to talk to Dan in regards to either Wikia's API access or scanning a wiki-dump in order to generate a table.

As for the outdated info, I think page count can be retrieved in other ways than manual. As for the descriptions and such, they are mostly copied from wikipedia, and will probably always be out of date compared to them.

Re: VRO
Already made you an admin. I'm still interested, it's just that I've been rather busy lately, but I do plan to edit there once the Anime is aired of course.--White Flash (Contact) 01:51, December 3, 2012 (UTC)

New Main Page Idea
Okay, I found something that is very interesting; Assassins Creed Wiki's main page is really good and I have a few perfect ideas: What do you think?--White Flash (Contact) 17:08, December 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * The main page: Where it says "Games" "Series" "Community" "Admin" and the "Project Aperture Redux'ed" we can change it into "Anime" "Manga" "Anime News".
 * Animanga Wiki Chat: We should let other users know of our IRC, Wikia's Chat isn't much of a feature we should use since no one bothers to go there.
 * Featured Article: We can have a featured article for pages like Naruto, Bleach etc.
 * We could run a Anime Facebook Fan page. Post Anime/Manga related stuff.
 * Touhou Project Wiki has a slidebar, we could use that to replace the tabber codes for our seasonal Anime.
 * So, any thoughts?--White Flash (Contact) 15:45, December 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * I just found this, it's really impressive; Dead Space Wiki's mainpage. I was thinking about a future/advanced Animanga Wiki look lol.--White Flash (Contact) 02:46, December 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm all out of ideas, I think the Assassin's Creed Wiki's mainpage would a better fit. The theme however, I'm lost. Do you have any thoughts?--White Flash (Contact) 23:44, December 21, 2012 (UTC)

Series template
Noticed you were most recent editor of Template:Series. I notice this has sort of an if/else condition coded into it which adds Category:No Wiki when the wiki field is left empty and a project isn't associated with it.

Do you know if it would be possible to add Category:Has Wiki or something along those lines when a wiki is present? Just like a contrary category for viewing everything which has a project. I think this would be helpful in doing a visual comparison of the alphabetical list of series pages with wikis to the Wikias list on the forums. +Yc 21:16, December 23, 2012 (UTC)
