User talk:Dantman

Hey Dantman
I've seen you in some of the recent blogs about Wikia's new look, so could you give me your take on this? I'm asking since the latest Staff blog just gave a timeline of November before its implemented Wikia wide112.135.111.142 (talk) 21:33, September 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oh, and your archive list goes: 1, 10, 2,3....112.135.111.142 (talk) 21:35, September 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hello! I am an admin at the Kingdom Hearts wiki's, and our community has pretty much decided that the new skin is intolerable. For example, several of our pages used information-rich tables, and the new skin makes them completely illegible; wikia's response seems to be, "Well, you can still just about read it." We are waiting to see whether wikia will realize that the new skin is a bad decision, but in the meantime, we'd still like to be preparing if we have to move to a new host. I saw your input in the forum, and you seem like the best person to ask for advice, and about what would be required for a move. It would be very helpful if you could join the discussion here, or if that's inconvenient, at least allow us to ask questions here.
 * Please respond on my talk page, since I am not able to regularly monitor outside wikis. Thanks! Why don't you try it just to see  what happens?  13:02, October 7, 2010 (UTC)

If it isn't obvious...
I'm a paranoid nut. I heard Wikia allows a free database dump, and I think that is something we should have on the back burner, if the new Wikia is complete garbage.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 21:46, September 30, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Welcome
Thanks for the warm welcome! I'll try to add some good info to this Wiki. But I was wondering a bit about the policies here, because I'm used to the rules that came with Warriors Wiki. So, maybe just lay down some of the basic policies for me? Arigatou, Dantman-sama! :) ScarletwindThe Uchiha's final Hope 03:59, October 2, 2010 (UTC)

Is it suppose to be easily accessible? Because other than going through the form page, I have no idea how other users are suppose to be able to find it. S im A nt 03:02, October 11, 2010 (UTC)

Kenjutsu
Hello, I am Demon of the Mist join to help out. While I was viewing the site, I saw it had Kenjutsu. But didn't say what it was a subcategory of. Even though in the Taijutsu definition it says "Taijutsu is simply put, hand-to-hand combat, or weaponry." So I would think its common sense for people to think Kenjutsu is a branch off. But I met someone who argued its not a subcategory. So I just think it should be added there for 100% assurance.

Unordered lists
Would it be within the ToU to change the css style for "ul.line-height" back to something reasonable? S im A nt 20:16, October 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * So would the proper change be from,

.box.style-jutsu td, .box.style-jutsu th, .box.style-jutsu ul li, .box.style-jutsu p { line-height: 1em; }

.box td th { line-height: 1em;} .box ul li p { line-height: 1.7em;}

S im A nt 02:44, October 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Got the css from Mediawiki:Wikia.css (about the fourth "wall" of code). S im A nt 04:22, October 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Heh, just trying to make it so semantic queries in the infoboxes that use the class="box ... " set the ul line-height to something reasonable, instead of like 3em. this was working how i wanted it to look. I just figured i'd try to add the other tags as well, especially the paragraph tag. S im A nt 05:22, October 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * I got it looking nice on my browser with my settings... now to fix it up for other browsers. Also, that vandal is annoying me, seems like he figured out he could create accounts on different wikia and come here. S im A nt 22:41, October 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yah, an anon vandal was spam creating survey pages 6+ hours ago. I protected site against anon user page creation, but noticed a spike in 0 edit user surveys (with the first of which having an ip and not even the users name...), so i beefed up protection to no account creation. They seem to have given up now i think. S im A nt 00:48, October 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Uh, 240+ surveys in a couple hours, all anons, within minutes of each other, also when i temporally took down protection a new survey was up within a minute. S im A nt 00:53, October 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Just check out the recent changes, you can see the times via wikia bot welcome message. I'm pretty sure it was a bot attack. S im A nt  01:01, October 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * I suppose it is possible it contained some real surveys, but some of the ip numbers seemed to have a pattern. S im A nt 01:23, October 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Like 91.187.103.60 and 91.117.173.206 editing within a minute of each other. seven ip's starting with 71. eight starting with 66. 12 starting with 82. etc. I know there are loads of possible ips, but for them to edit at the same time? S im A nt 01:33, October 22, 2010 (UTC)

editors
hey dantman! since you've been majorly editing on wikia,that makes you an editor,right? i have questions, is it hard to edit on wikia? are there times that there were certain replies on you talk page that you were hurt? how does it feel about being an editor? ..haha,sorry for these questions, just curious.. --Fran513 (talk) 07:33, October 22, 2010 (UTC)fran513

I just read a bit of the comments that users who took part in the Survey left, and noticed that some people thought that they would be forced to pay to view the site.

I know this is a talkpage,and all is supposed to be about 'naruto'or the narutopedia,but i just wanted to clear things up.Not that i'm judging you,don't get mad,but. . .on one of my contributions: "enhanced advertisement of narutopedia",i said on my reply on snapper2,that if it just can be,then okay. . .that means that i ended the discussion.

Table problem
Before I go through the trouble, I wanted to ask you if this is an acceptable solution for the table that was messed up on the Naruto Shippūden Animation Credits page due to Wikia's new style. Since you wouldn't let me remove the Kanji, how does turning it all into mouseover text sound?

Here is the example (mouse over the names)

Mujini Anano
Found a character sheet under that heading. It's a stub and I would've left it alone, but it doesn't even give a reference to what game and it seems rather unlikely a dead ninja with a full name would come up in conversation without any sort of context. Thinking about this it seems likely to be a fake entry so I was gonna go look into it and ask for it's deletion if nothing turns up. - Hakweye2701

Okay, looked it up on google, even wikied every Naruto DS game I could individually. There it nothing to be found on this character. - Hawkeye2701

Clans Page
Hello. I don't mean to be a pain, so if that is the case, I sincerely apologise, but I already brought it up to Omnibender that the clans page is missing it's anime only clans section. I'd be happy enough to fix it myself, but I don't have all the data and I'm not sure if there's a back up or something to restore it. Also I'm not sure if it is at all related to the current issue with the jutsu lists. (I'm not very good with computers. ^^;) Anyway, to get back on the point, can I expect that to be repaired, or failing that, has anyone got a list and I'll start filling it all in again?

Thanks for the quick reply. If there's anything I can do to help, please let me know. - Hawkeye2701

RE: Blogs
Whoops! Sorry ^^; Like I said, I didn't kno the details about how blogs work on Narutopedia. I made the blog so as to get more feedback about the assistence me, Sonic News Network, and Sonic Fanon Wiki are offering to Narutopedia in terms of moving.--Kagi mizu -Seeya 'round 02:53, November 27, 2010 (UTC)

Recent changes script
You think it's possible to implement a script that refreshes the recent changes page, similar to how they do in the Harry Potter wiki? I don't know if it's just a script or an extension, but I find it very useful. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 15:48, November 28, 2010 (UTC)

Additional Jutsu
Hello, I don't know if your the one to contact about this, but I frequently come here to look at jutsus to use for RPs, etc. And I was watching an episode of Naruto (Specifically Episode 178, Season 5, Naruto Shippuden) and I noticed in it a jutsu that I never heard of before called: Fire Style (Release): Synergy Jutsu. I looked in the Fire Release Jutsu list and I didn't find it there, nor did I find an edit button to add it into the list. So I thought I would inform one of the admins, and since you were the first to show up in the admin list, I thought it'd choose you.

Thank you very much, and I hope that if that jutsu isn't in the list, I helped to provide a new one.

An offer, from someone who wants to help his home wiki
Dantman, do you want to move Narutopedia? To possibly get back Monaco, while not losing any article history, user contributions, and usernames/passwords? Well, a friend of mine known as NerotheHedgehog is having wikis moved through his father, with those very standards met. User ranks, the one thing that can be replaced no issue, aren't saved however. While I'm sure you have many, MANY questions, including technical specifics, I'm afraid I can't answer them (not a computer specialist ^^|), but while I'm unable to answer those questions, the offer is very much real and sincere. Any questions you have, you can ask Nero's dad through him on here or here. This offer is most indeed sincere and honest, and as Narutopedia was the first wiki I signed up to, it would be a personal honor if Narutopedia would be willing to move alongside us. The details aren't fully set, but the idea is that a "MegaWiki" would be created, with articles summarizing and linking to each and every wiki among the moved wikis, allowing for full independence for each and every wiki, as well as equal face-time, display, and advertizement. I hope that you, and the rest of Narutopedia, would be willing to look into this offer of mine, and see if it is acceptable. Thank you.--Kagi mizu -Seeya 'round 07:48, December 18, 2010 (UTC)

Nono, this move would be done by a proffessional. What's more, while SFw's move has taken severe delays, after its successful move, moving other wikis would hardly be an issue; I highly doubt there would be performance issues. As for Narutopedia's popularity, I'm sure that if Narutopedia moved, making it well-known would take care of that. There's also an alternate, more "rough" idea I have for wikis concerned about that. Plus, Narutopedia would regain Monaco and all of its functions. Also, this could help improve Narutopedia's traffic and popularity; Wikia has lost about 20-25% of its traffic, so seperating from them and regaining Monaco could be a big help. No loss of data or history would also help big-time, because there wouldn't be any starting from scratch. I don't expect you guys to make a decision right away (believe me, you have plenty of time), so I'd really like for this whole suggestion to be brought up to the rest of the Narutopedia community. It would be great if Narutopedia moved as well, especially on a personal level for myself, as I'm a big fan of the Naruto franchise itself, and often come to Narutopedia; being able to see Narutopedia in Monaco (and AD FREE, I might add) and under its own control would be amazing. I sincerely hope you and the rest of Narutopedia take this offer into consideration.--Kagi mizu -Seeya 'round 08:11, December 18, 2010 (UTC)

Well, we never know until we try, right? Also, Nero's dad is the head of his own company or something that specifically deals with online stuff (which comes with the downside of paying clients being a delay for moving wikis). Sonic Fanon Wiki, having over 9000 articles (no mention of the meme, please) is successfully being moved, so it's quite possible Narutopedia could be moved as well. As for bringing this up during the community discussion, it more or less wasn't really paid attention to. So, I figured going to the bureaucrat and founder of Narutopedia could be a little more helpful, though obviously it would have to be discussed with the community as a whole.--Kagi mizu -Seeya 'round 08:41, December 18, 2010 (UTC)

Å«
There have been several articles created over the last few weeks that have titles identical to existing articles (example). The only difference between them is that the "ū" is replaced by "Å«". I assumed it was wikia's fault, and now I know I'm correct. If you go to the main wikia site and search for something that will send you to this wiki ("Naruto" for example), the "ū" links are all bad. Could you bug the appropriate people to fix this? ~SnapperTo 18:56, January 11, 2011 (UTC)

 * P.S. If I understand what you're saying about how the jutsu are generated on the characters' pages, then if Hōki is in the list of users on the Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique page, then he should have it in his list of jutsu; but he doesn't. Is that just an error or am I not getting what you were saying?
