Claymore issue
Hey Sxerks, I wanna butt in on this Claymore problem. It's pretty obvious you should delete the "Claymore New Wiki" article, but I think the real problem is what wiki we'll advertise on the "Claymore" article. The new wiki has more pages, but a lot of those pages are really weird, scenes and stuff... Also, the old and more trusted wiki has been around way longer, although it isn't as flashy as the new one. You decide... 04:09, December 30, 2011 (UTC)

Sxerks? You'll have to decide something or this will drag on forever. 17:54, January 2, 2012 (UTC)

Dude, interaction! Now you're just like antisocial, taking care of things yourself and not letting anyone know about it. If I take the trouble of contacting you and showing you the problem, the least you could do is post on my talk page something like "Okay, got it, you're right. I'll just list the new wiki under external links and delete the page like you suggested." Not to be annoying or something, but I had to say something. 20:34, January 2, 2012 (UTC)

Block
Hey, can you please block this anonymous user? He's been vandalizing the wiki by inserting "Lesbians" tags on series articles. He even made an article about Lesbians. 23:06, February 3, 2012 (UTC)

The Law of Ueki Wiki
Hello Sxerks. I adopted The Law of Ueki wiki after seeing it was abandoned. I've already started creating and expanding pages there. However, there are many other wikis for The Law of Ueki: kosukeueki.wikia.com (7 pages), lawofueki.wikia.com (1 page), ueki.wikia.com (no pages), thelawofueki.wikia.com (1 page), and uekinohosoku.wikia.com (no pages). Some of them contain inappropriate images, btw. Is there a way to merge these wikis or to direct the visitors to the active wiki? 良牙 (talk ) 13:02, February 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that Sxerks. Should I send a single request listing all of the above wikis or separate requests for each wiki? 良牙 (talk ) 04:27, February 5, 2012 (UTC)

Spotlight question
Hey Sxerks, a little question concerning the spotlights. Do you have to be an admin of the wiki to put it up for spotlights or can you list whatever wiki you want? 15:35, February 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * It can be whoever(i've had to randomly pick some in the past), though usually to get the wordmark,favicon,footer,and nav requirements you would have to have an admin involved.--Sxerks 15:58, February 8, 2012 (UTC)

So if those requirments are already fulfilled, I can list those wiki's? 18:06, February 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * yep--Sxerks 21:26, February 8, 2012 (UTC)

Vandalism (again)
Hey Sxerks, the same guy who vandalized the Wiki two weeks ago (remember the lesbians) came back today. Can you block him again please? 12:17, February 18, 2012 (UTC)

Need SERIOUS help
I know I msged on School Days but in case you hang out here more often: Brandon has made it clear he wants to delete the ENTIRE school-days wiki simply because the visual novel its based on has sex scenes with an underage character. This happened because I was trying to get it adopted to delete sex pictures.

We know this is stupid because there are lots of great anime made from visual novels like this. Fate/stay's 15yo Emiya shiro for example with Saber, or Kanon. If School Days gets deleted, stuff like this would probably next. I'm hoping you might be able to help spread awareness of this issue on the wikia anime community? +y@talk 02:44, February 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * I know what you mean, so much for being open and giving the benefit of the doubt to staff to be reasonable. I'd like contact some other staff about this, am trying #animanga and #wikia on FreeNode but not much luck. His argument's totally weak. I've already brought up that Buffy Summers has illegal sex when she's 17 (AoC is 18 in California where show is set) yet we're not deleting Buffy.wikia. I don't even see anything in the Terms of Use that says he's okay to do this. I want to know who is "we" when he says that. +y@talk 03:16, February 19, 2012 (UTC)

No editors
Hi Sxerks. I tried everything to attract more editors to the Law of Ueki wiki: added the wiki's name to Admin Central:Main Page/Wikis that need editors, Forum:List of Anime and Manga Wikia and even asked for a makeover at the Content team request board. Still no editors :( What can I do to attract more editors? Would an animanga spotlight help? What are the requirements? 良牙 (talk ) 04:39, March 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks Sxerks. I'm applying for a spotlight. If I'm lucky enough, it might attract some editors. I will also post on some forums. I just hope sincerely that the wiki gets some new editors. 良牙 (talk ) 06:34, March 1, 2012 (UTC)

 * I saw it. Thank you very much 13:27, April 4, 2012 (UTC)

A few questions.
Well, I have two things I would like to talk about.

I am an Admin of the Chrome Shelled Regios wiki which is not really that active at the moment. I only have one other admin who is helping me fix up the wiki while I'm trying to go to the more techincal side of it. How would I increase activity?

Also I noticed that you have a bot here. I'm looking around for a general clean up bot. Do you know if there are any freeware bots that I can use available anywhere because I have absolutely no skill to make one myself. Was269 17:14, April 7, 2012 (UTC)

Infoboxes
Hi, so, I saw that this wiki is somehow connected to the infoboxes bot that changes the default infoboxes, like you did in Narutopedia, Inuyasha and Magico. I'm making Magico Fanon Wiki and I needed to know how to use those infoboxes... Please, answer as quickly as possible. Davidchola2 17:39, April 23, 2012 (UTC)Davidchola2

Admin
Wait, so I'm an admin now? Thanks a lot and all, but why wasn't I notified of this? Seems pretty important to me. But still, thanks for the trust :D 20:49, May 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * usually an email is sent when someone changes your status on a wiki. and your welcome--Sxerks 23:40, May 3, 2012 (UTC)

Blogs
Hey Sxerks, I noticed something's wrong with the blogs. If you look here, you can see that the heading of the blog (the line, edit and like button) are running over the right column. Also, on my latest blog (are you okay with this by the way?), there is already a comment, but it doesn't show. Can you by any chance fix this? 20:47, May 7, 2012 (UTC)

Yep, blogs fine, and looks like the formatting is fixed.--Sxerks 21:37, May 7, 2012 (UTC)


 * Okay, thanks :) 21:57, May 7, 2012 (UTC)

Sora no Otoshimono
I made it hoping that when the admins see it that they will import my work into that wiki. As there are other contributors, i didn't want to just go on their and change stuff. I did it to this page here and it caused a bit of a problem.

Hm
Are changes like this acceptable to do? Seems a bit sneaky. I noticed you restored the link but initially that edit removed it and pretended the other wiki didn't exist or something... Mysterious Girlfriend X uses the title of the original wiki, seems like an apt enough translation. When I type "Nazo no Kanojo" into Google translate I get "Her Mystery" so I'm not sure. Like Kanojo is 'she' and 'no kanojo' makes 'her'. Though that's just as pronoun, translate also lists girlfriend/sweetheart as alternative translations. +Yc 08:52, May 24, 2012 (UTC)

Licensing via bot
Hey Sxerks, long time no see. I'd like to ask you for some help. I've been an idiot on the KnB Wiki. There are already 974 files on my Wiki, but I didn't bother to license them. Seeing how you value that a lot and by encouragement from other users, I decided to finally make them legal images by adding the fair use license to every one of them. But for 974 files, that is way too much work to do manually. Am I right to assume that you added the majority of licenses over here by using a bot? How does that work exactly? Can I do that on my Wiki? What do I have to do?

18:26, June 17, 2012 (UTC)


 * Okay, I already made BereBot and e-mailed a request for flagging. I'll install AWB in a sec and I hope it'll work. I'll keep you updated, thanks for the help, really appreciate it :D.


 * 21:48, June 17, 2012 (UTC)

I'm confused with AWB. Is this where I'm supposed to be?

22:05, June 17, 2012 (UTC)


 * Nevermind, I downloaded, installed, logged in and tried out your guidelines. Now I just have to wait for my bot to be flagged so I can start the actual procedure. Thanks a lot for the help, I'm really happy I'm now able to use bots! :D


 * 22:30, June 17, 2012 (UTC)

Just one more thing. Whenever I click on "Source: Special page" and then on "Source: All files", it doesn't show a list of files, it show a list of all my pages. Any thoughts?

18:21, June 18, 2012 (UTC)


 * Never mind, I changed it to "All page" and namespace "File:", so works. Thanks for the help, it's all fine now.

anime wiki
Yes, the project is moving forward but has progressed beyond my department. I wanted to be absolutely sure there would be no conflicts or errors, and that we were taking the best possible course of action, so I passed it on to those who are better versed in this area. Should be the best outcome for all parties.

 * Sxerks, I'm honestly not sure if this was communicated with you, but the intent is for this wiki to assume "anime.wikia.com" as it's primary URL. You can retain the site name and the old URL will forward to anime.wikia.com, but that was the plan in terms of SEO and other technical setup. Is this amenable to you and the other admins? I'm not going to proceed with the merge (and getting your approval here is the last step) until you all give your thumbs up to having that as the primary URL. --daNASCAT 20:39, July 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * Since the Wiki name describes that it's not just anime here, the subdoamin really doesn't matter to me. I'll wait for feedback from the other 2 though.--Sxerks 04:44, July 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * In my opinion, I'd rather have animanga as the primary domain. This Wiki clearly handles more than anime alone, we also have lots of manga- or light novel-only articles. Just because anime is more popular than manga, I don't think we should give in to that and disregard manga and light novel. In response to daNASCAT, I would prefer anime.wikia.com being redirect to animanga.wikia.com instead of the other way around. 16:04, July 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * Okie dokie, understood. We will keep animanga as the primary URL then and redirect anime to the URL. Just wanted to give you guys the option of keeping the better SEO URL as the primary (and if it ever comes up again, we can make 'anime' the primary in just a matter of seconds). We will do the URL redirect of anime here this afternoon. --daNASCAT 16:58, July 10, 2012 (UTC)

anime wiki merge
I knew about the change and was fine with anime -> animanga. Though I wish they would have given me more notice about the actual change. There actually was in fact some stuff on anime that should have been kept around for reference (ie: anime.wikia should have been moved to some place like anime-legacy.wikia instead of just deleted). I can't even read the conversation I had with staff on the topic on my talkpage there anymore since they just made it disappear. ~ Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (Local Talk &#8285; Animanga Talk) 04:32, July 12, 2012 (UTC)

Chest issues
Hi Sx, didn't know if you were watching the page, but the newest section at Forum:Toplessness is of note. I regret if I may be unable to edit Wikia's anime projects for a time. I guessed that adding snippets of a certain genre of anime was a controversial theme, but I had thought that an adequate amount of censorship had been done. Beyond that though, even the screens from Esper Mami were destroyed alongside them. Why this is done when the character is 35 years old boggles my mind. 99.250.152.225 05:33, September 12, 2012 (UTC)

Video blog post
Hey there, Just wanted to let you know I just put up a blog post that I would love your opinion on. Thanks! --Sarah (help forum | blog) 23:10, September 28, 2012 (UTC)

Ideas
I don't know if there's an automated way to have bots recognize this, or something we could put in manually, but I was wondering if maybe we could put in a see also or whatever section on pages if there are other anime titles which have similar titles? Like for example Fullmetal Alchemist > Full Metal Panic > Strawberry Panic! > Strawberry Marshmallow etc. or Candy Candy > Candy Boy > Golden Boy. Like in case people are looking for one title but misremember, or might be interested in seeing something with a similar-but-different title. Plus the portions in common (Fullmetal/Panic/Strawberry/Candy/Boy) between various series could potentially be disambiguation pages, like if people only remember one word from a title and type it in. +Yc 17:24, October 2, 2012 (UTC)


 * Also I was thinking, we have the Category:No Wiki in Category:Series which is created automatically. Is there a way for the series template to also create a Category:Wiki or a Category:Has Wiki or something like that for series articles which do have wikis? The reason for this is I think it would be a useful tool for people to be able to search in. For example, let's say someone has a series they like and wants to create a wiki about it. They search in 'no wiki' and do not find the name. But that doesn't necessarily mean that a wiki doesn't exist, rather it just means we haven't associated one with it yet. If someone doesn't see something in 'no wiki' they might think "oh shoot, I guess there MUST be a wiki'.


 * But actually, there are some series (I just created ones for Golden Boy and Candy Candy and Barefoot Gen for example) we will lack pages for, so if people could search a 'wiki' category and FAIL to find the series they want to make a wiki for, that may be a better indication of the actual lack of a wiki for a topic, since they would also fail to find articles which don't exist yet. There being 808 total series and 268 'no wiki' at the moment, that would mean 'series' would end up being much larger (500+) but still easier to search through than the 'series' category. Plus someone searching 'series' for a name, if they found it, would still have to visit the article to see if there's a wiki or not, whereas an automated presence in 'wiki' would tell them there already is. +Yc 21:40, October 2, 2012 (UTC)

Another benefit to a 'has wiki' category would be that we could visually compare the entries there to the List forum page and see if there are entries present on 1 but not the other. I know I haven't added the series I created articles for to that list yet. It's difficult as it's not as easy to code (userfriendly) as the article creation template is.

One way it could be done, possibly, is if there were a means of counting/numbering the entries on the list page in some kinda automated way. For example, there are 6 wikis in List so perhaps there could be a narrow column which assigns those numbers (which would change as new entries are put in). Then we could, under the Table of Contents at the top of the page (A-Z) list the number of entries under each letter (perhaps in a table on its own, which might look prettier) and then, having the numbers lined up like that, we could manually add up the number of entries under each letter to get a grand total for the list page and compare it to the automatically tallied number of 'Has Wikis' to see how they compare, and if unequal, find the differences.

I'd be willing to do that if it gets the okay. +Yc 22:06, October 2, 2012 (UTC)

Naming
Is there a fair use template which can be used for all images? Also, I would like to create a wiki and page here for Best Student Council. But I am wondering, should I do it at Best Student Council, or should I do it at Gokujō Seitokai or Gokujou Seitokai? Do we usually use 'ou' rather than 'ō'?

Thought about making the GS wiki at w:c:Seitokai but that is taken so will probably use w:c:Gokujo. whoops just discovered there's already a w:c:BestStudentCouncil, will see how that works out first I guess. Could potentially redirect a URL there.

Just used w:c:Gokujyo for Gokujyo which is similar. SaHa actually just translated the first chapter of 'jyo', lol. +Yc 08:01, October 3, 2012 (UTC)

Keeping track
TBH, for the ones I make but am inactive on due to not remembering (usually the ones I planned to watch and build as I watched but didn't get around to yet), the way I remember is the e-mail wikia sends if there's a month of staff inactivity ;) A list would be nice but it feels like advertising/bragging which I don't really want to do especially considering the state some are in. Your wikis are generally pretty well developed so thaz diff'rent. The first step I guess would be to make sure each wiki is connected to a page here. Doing that not but I might've possibly missed some early on since my focus was the footer template and not the articles or list here. With the change from A-Z to genre that's shifted though.

I guess I could just link to the actual pages here though. That'd probably be a more suitable way since it's easier to link internally on the animanga project, and once on page I'd remember which (if there are multiple wikis) is the one to work on. A good way to keep track of potential mergers or new wikis on same topic too.

Right now I redirect my name page to my contributions page so that there is a 1-click option for visiting it. Otherwise it would require 2 clicks, to open either the user or talk on the drop-down menu on the other right.

It makes me wonder, could there be a way to add User's contributions to the top-right drop-down menu as well, as then I could free up the userpage for list. +Yc 22:46, October 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks, that was ridiculously easy, I'd pretty much ignored that whole 'customize' bar until now (only used 'my tools' for admin stuff). +Yc 23:16, October 6, 2012 (UTC)

So hey. Long time no see. I'm just letting you know that I revoked my own admin rights. It's been a long time since I was really active, so I feel like I shouldn't be an admin. I may come back to edit some more, I may not ( ._.). Kay bye. 17:45, October 9, 2012 (UTC)

Move template
Didn't seem to have a Template:Move here, do you know the best way to go about applying to move Shirokuma Café to Polar Bear's Cafe?

 * For just on the 31st? on the front page?--Sxerks (talk) 23:18, October 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, there's a few Anime Wikis I know that would fit with Halloween, there's Soul Eater, Highschool of the Dead and Rosario + Vampire.--White Flash (議論 01:53, October 29, 2012 (UTC)
 * For some reason the horror tag search isn't working, but I know there are more like School Days and Another. But, ya, we can add a bunch to the right column features on the main page. I put a couple up, add whichever ones you want, doesn't matter how many.--Sxerks (talk) 05:10, October 29, 2012 (UTC)

Wikia's Time to Play
Hey Sxerks,

Wikia is rolling out a fun new initiative for the holiday season called “Time to Play” where we ask our wikis what page they’re most proud of. We want to know which page you would want to have represent. There will be an official blog going out on Nov. 1 but we wanted to reach out to you early and see if you were interested in participating now.

If you wanted to participate, a “Time to Play” badge would go up on the right rail of the mainpage that links users to the page that you choose, while the footer will live on that same page that links to hub pages eg. http://www.wikia.com/Entertainment for Time to Play goodies. You can see how the badge looks by clicking here and how the footer will appear by clicking here.

We will feature on http://www.wikia.com/Wikia in one the three biggest spots that we reserved for “Time to Play” participants on a rotating basis, as well as a feature on the hubs.

Let me know if you have any questions, I hope you decide to participate! Kate 18:40, October 31, 2012 (UTC)

Sysop
Hi Sxerks just wanted to say thanks for giving me a sysop flag.--White Flash (Contact) 22:02, November 3, 2012 (UTC)

New Theme
Hey Sxerks, I spoke with Herald about having a new theme for Animanga, and he'd be interested in making one, if you want you could provide some ideas for the theme.--White Flash (Contact) 07:06, November 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * Hmm, well the only theme I find interesting would be Bleach Wiki's. That's all I could think of.--White Flash (Contact) 05:52, November 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * You can check out these themes made by the Community Development Team here. heraldofmeridian♣ 06:36, November 12, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks Herald. I like Nikkita's theme and it did gave me a thought. What if we could have our mascot doing a pose on the left side and the Otaku kanji on the right?--White Flash (Contact) 07:38, November 12, 2012 (UTC)

RE:List of Anime/Manga Wikia
Need help from the other users in updating our grand wiki roster. The list of wikis to be added is slowly building up, and none of our affiliates are updating their wikis through the roster.

By the way, do you think we should simplify the wiki to cover just the series and the wiki/s that cover it? If none of the other users are able to update their wiki info in the Animanga Wiki, we would just end up with tons of outdated information.

If only we have a lot more registered users to help us out... heraldofmeridian♣ 08:17, December 2, 2012 (UTC)


 * Automation would be nice. heraldofmeridian♣ 23:24, December 2, 2012 (UTC)

Question regarding adding a wiki
Hello, Sxerks.

Sorry if this sort of thing has already been asked or answered somewhere before - I thought I'd better ask to be safe.

I'm currently an administrator for the Mouretsu Pirates Wiki. I've been wondering whether it would be OK to add an Animanga Footer to the main page on the Mouretsu Pirates Wiki and add it to the Forum:List_of_Anime_and_Manga_Wikia on the Animanga Wikia. However, I've found an entry for the series, spelt Moretsu Pirates instead, with a different wiki linking from there as the main wiki and the Mouretsu Pirates Wiki listed as a duplicate (though that might have been the case about two-thirds of a year ago, the Mouretsu Pirates Wiki is now considerably larger and more developed than the wiki listed as main).

Does this mean I should not add it to the wiki list and does this prevent me from adding the footer to the Mouretsu Pirates Wiki?

Thanks, Inept Wiki User (talk) 18:02, December 7, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks, Sxerks. I've added the footer to the Mouretsu Pirates Wiki main page. The current main wiki for Moretsu Pirates was last edited in April - would you say it is abandoned? Also, if I were to switch its place with the Mouretsu Pirates Wiki, would I need to change the article name to match or is it alright to leave it as it is with just a redirect? Thanks again, Inept Wiki User (talk) 19:18, December 7, 2012 (UTC)

RE: "Series with Wiki" Category
Is there a difference between adding articles to a category the old-fashioned way and using the form? Oh, and a question: is it possible to rewrite the Series form so that it uses Wikia tables instead of div</tt> elements? I wanted to make the Series template better looking by replacing the <tt>hr</tt> tags with borders using CSS. heraldofmeridian♣ 00:34, December 25, 2012 (UTC)

File deletion
Hey, can I ask you to delete this file please? Thanks. 03:07, December 30, 2012 (UTC)

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)
