Spoilers
I was wondering, how far should we go with spoilers? And should we make a little thing that says, 'This article contains spoilers'?


 * Erm.. Whoever wrote this: I think it's a requirement to warn people about spoilers. So yes. For how far? As far as you want, as long as there's a warning called "Spoilers begin here" or something, even though some people read spoilers when they're not that far (like me ><). -Dubtiger, 6:31pm EST.


 * I'll copy my advanced spoiler template from en.anime to here and put up some info on spoilers. Use to start a spoiler section, and  to end a spoiler section. It'll start displaying correctly when I copy the template. Dantman (Talk) 10:18, 14 February 2007 (UTC)


 * There should be major spoiler warnings all over the place. I am only watching the Japanese episodes and I've managed to spoil myself while trying to learn about the past squads. I didn't need to know who is going to get killed by whom in the future. The way this site is anybody who isn't a managa reader has no business being here.

Main Page
I was wondering if I should slightly change the mission statment. I came up with it but when I looked at it when I came on I felt that it was saying that we don't like people who know nothing about Naruto who are the people that we want to TEACH about Naruto. Sorry that I haven't been on much French project. -LoneWolf 5
 * Well, then. Time for some disassembling: Dantman (Talk) 00:04, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

How about we move the wish thing after the goal and instert that we dislike vandalls? LoneWolf 5 18:05, 2 March 2007 (UTC)LoneWolf 5


 * I suggest not saying that you dislike vandals on the main page. It's obvious that they're not welcome, but pointing them out just encourages them to vandalise more since it becomes a game for them to try to annoy you more. It's better to Dissuade Interaction. Angela talk 19:23, 2 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I put the wish part after the part about naruto, anime, and manga fans as a way of stating that we want to include everyone, fans and non fans. Any other suggestions?Dantman (Talk) 21:43, 4 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I guess we'll use this. Dantman(CGANI)(talk 01:05, 11 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Let's go with it for now untill we can think of more things to add or changes that must be done. We need to change it quickly because I don't want to lose any more viewers because of my stupidity. LoneWolf 5 01:10, 11 March 2007 (UTC)LoneWolf 5


 * Wait! I got it. I know what we can hate now. 'We hate trying to figure out what to hate.' I came up with it last night. Lame, yes. Stupid, yes. I should hit myself on the head, yes. I should leave this site... maybe....LoneWolf 5 22:39, 12 March 2007 (UTC)LoneWolf 5


 * T_T But encyclopedias shouldn't hate anything. Except vandalism, but we're not supposed to mention that, Shhh... Plus that makes the intro statement to long. You don't half to leave. Everyone makes plenty of mistakes. As I remember reading in a poem in english class ("What Should He Tell That Son?" was the poem)(paraphrased of course because I don't have the poem or my paragraph here): "“A mistake is not an error until you refuse to correct it.”" ~Dantman(talk) 22:46, 12 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Leave....I'd only do that when I had no time left, I died, I felt that other people where doing a better job of correcting, I have no self esteem, I hate Naruto (*gasp*), the world ends, this site becomes the best Naruto site out there and thus needs no more editting. I'm just feeling alittle down about trying to find out something to hate. In fact, I'm really starting to hate... hate.LoneWolf 5 23:49, 12 March 2007 (UTC)LoneWolf 5


 * Don't worry about the site getting to good. That would not only take years. But is something that would never happen. And if you ever found that you ran out of things to contribute here. Remember that there is the entire WAP to think about. ~Dantman(talk) 05:24, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Backgrounds
Someone please change that god-awful leaf symbol orange background found all over the site. This seems like a nice wiki, but I can bear to look at it too long. It is a MASSIVE EYESORE! 70.236.28.233 22:21, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

What you sugest to change for? A blue bg with mist symbols, orange bg with sand, green with leaf, all? Seizure...? --201.36.213.8 22:38, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

I have no idea. It doesn't HAVE to involve a village. In any case, the current is kinda lousy IMHO. 70.236.30.181 01:35, 23 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Then come up with a new one... Wiki are about collaboration. If you want something changed, come up with something to change it to yourself. Don't just say this sucks and expect someone else to fix it for you. The core point of a open wiki is that every random person can come along and contribute to making it better. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) current discussion Aug 23, 2007 @ 03:04 (UTC)

OMG! It's awful! It looks like some little kid pajamas! Someone please take it off! And put NOTHING on the place. Why a freaking background image on a wikia?


 * Yo! random person here, Use this pic with all the shinobi symbols its multi colored. I used it for my screensaver[]


 * That's to high resolution, if we added that then it would slow down loading of the site and scare away readers without a good high-speed connection. Not to mention that there would be copyright issues with using that image. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) current discussion Oct 12, 2007 @ 04:39 (UTC)

I agree that the backround needs to be changed though, why not have like a compitition and have the readers of the site submit drawn images either scanned or computer generated and then vot eon it or something... that could be cool and no copywrite issues--EmoHokage 14:17, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

Shipping article
may i suggest adding a shipping article to narutopedia? bulbapedia has it for pokemon characters and the naruto series holds ALOT of fan pairing and evidence of romance between characters. but its just a suggestion.


 * While I personally see it as very odd. (And borderline creepy, if you've seen the shippings I've run across) but whatever. As long as its not poorly written and crappy go for it.--TheUltimate3 02:08, 16 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Whoops rong one


 * I'm glad that shipping is being taken into consideration here, and I'd be glad to help any way I can. So when are these articles going to be started?--Kagimizu 19:05, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Pictures
I've been gazing around some files, and how come theres only one Image on an article? i've seen the wikipedia, and the wiki that i come from with alot of images.

Shikamario


 * First, is because pictures are hard to come by. Look at the article Naruto Jinchuriki Forms and you'll see quite a few, but I had to get images from the manga for them. If Answers.com hadn't updated, we could have a picture for every jutsu but alas, its not possible (as of now). If you can find pictures of jutsus, and more pictures of characters I don't see a problem with adding them.--TheUltimate3 20:57, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

okay, are u the admin of this sight?

Shikamario

No, I'm just an immigrant from Wikipedia, who knows how things work around here I suppose. As I already said, pics are hard to come by but if you do find any that rational them right, I don't see a problem with them.--TheUltimate3 21:34, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

I'm the one who adopted the wiki. But other than them being hard to come by, we also need rationales when someone uploads an image. I half to delete any naruto image that people don't add a proper rationale and fair use template to because keeping them would be a copyright violation. So we need someone who can find images, but will properly tag them as fair use and create a rationale. Otherwise they are completely useless to helping the wiki and moreofften than not actually make working on the wiki harder if they can't tag. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) current discussion Oct 31, 2007 @ 17:47 (UTC)


 * I have a whole folder of images, kept specifically for the Naruto wiki. One problem: 1) Its ALOT of them. 2) Its ALOT of them. 3) I am missing most of the jutsus, regretably.--TheUltimate3 22:36, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
 * If the need arises, I can go jutsu searching for appearances in the manga (in good resolution, of course). --Dubtiger 00:12, 2 November 2007 (UTC)


 * ^_^ I'd like to go image searching in episodes. But, of course I don't have the space for 251 episodes of the series. Heh, I need a big external drive. That would be much better than putting it on my computer. Heh, I could even take it to dads and watch, and even do the torrents when away. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) current discussion Nov 2, 2007 @ 05:32 (UTC)

so if you copied a video from youtube, what template would you put it on?

Shikamario


 * You wouldn't... Videos from YouTube are embedded and don't need attribution. But you wouldn't add those. Because any video from YouTube would be a fansub, dvd rip, or other form of illegally an imported episode. And putting it up here would be illegal and therefore you'll never see it done here and allowed. As for taking screenshots from YouTube, you won't. Because YouTube is about the absolute worst quality you'll find. If you're using a Video host to take screenshots you'll use a service like Stage6 or Veoh which actually keeps the full sized video and lets you download that and use that. Otherwise id advise using the torrents directly from the fansub groups. I won't lie in saying that most images come from fansubbed episodes. Quite simply because it's easier to do than using a bought DVD to capture a screenshot from, and also because most English people don't have DVD's which have the latter or Shippūden episodes. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) current discussion Nov 2, 2007 @ 05:30 (UTC)


 * Well' I have a question. How come some of these characters have apparently been shown in the anime, and yet no one has put up pictures to show them in their anime. I mean, if the pictures are clear and show their faces, why not take down the manga pictures and put up the anime ones, like you did with Kakuzu? One good example would be the, how you say, the Sanbi. If people have good enough pictures to show it's abilities, then why not change the Main Picture (the first picture someone sees on the article and is usually a face shot) to its Anime version?--Kagimizu 01:44, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

Naruto geography
Just a heads up, Wikipedia looks like they're going to be removing their article on Naruto geography (see wikipedia:Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Naruto geography (2nd nomination)), and I saw you guys didn't have a similar article here (at least not that I've seen yet). At the very least, the image in the article might make for a nice visual. Just thought I'd let someone know. -- Ned Scott 02:25, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

With the exception of the Village symbols, I saved the entire article here.--TheUltimate3 02:48, 5 November 2007 (UTC)


 * I deleted that one. The image has been uploaded and I imported the article. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) current discussion Nov 5, 2007 @ 17:00 (UTC)


 * Dang. Looked more complete than the current on up. Regardless, I archieved it as a subpage so I (or anyone) can move the numerous Lands we know of to it. Please don't delete it...--TheUltimate3 22:12, 5 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Looks like only the first 100 versions were imported. -- Ned Scott 02:16, 6 November 2007 (UTC)


 * I know, but I don't feel like hunting down more. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) current discussion Nov 8, 2007 @ 18:34 (UTC)

You can help by creating the nonexistent community portal page. HAHA!!! Madara uchiha99 18:48, 13 December 2007 (UTC)Madara uchiha99


 * Heh, never had a use for it. They classically were used for discussions, but we just use the Forum. Hmmm... Got an idea. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) current discussion Dec 14, 2007 @ 03:02 (UTC)

Nindo!!!
I think on this page there should be a reason why we do this stuff and what our goal is and the steps we must take on the way. It should probably go like this: -- If we're going to be a wiki, we need to all work together.

We need to help each other, provide information, and upload images to keep up with the flow of an active manga.

So don't be shy! Start editing now! We are always welcoming to those who are willing to use their spare time to help the benefit of Naruto fans.

And we will never give up until we've reached our goal, because that's our Nindo; our ninja way!

WTF
so why do all the articles end up being a page or so down when there is so much space atop? I don't understand, but then again I haven't been on this pedia much. So can we fix that?--SxeFluff 06:04, 7 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Due to the new monaco skin, there had to be changes to this revision and needed to be a two-columned format (correct me if I'm wrong) and so Dantman came up with this one. ~Kakashi Namikaze (talk) 22:22, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

oh. well it sounds like a good idea, given the tolerance of blank spots. Good to know--SxeFluff 16:29, 8 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Articles? The main page has been fixed up... But if for some reason article content is pushed down leaving a big white block in the upper left of the article area, please notify me. If that's the case there may be some incompatibility between our infobox code and Wikia's new skin. For that kind of thing I'd have to track down the issue and find out why it's doing it. It likely would have something to do with floats and float clearing, they can get tricky sometimes. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) current discussion Jul 8, 2008 @ 18:00 (UTC)


 * Maybe it has to do with the adds, in the new skin, I remember reading something at Wikia.com about the new skin having adds, either as a banner or as an add block. Omnibender 18:05, 8 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes, that is what I mean by the system. It's possible that our floats, their floats, and any clear: ...; in the page could conflict. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) current discussion Jul 9, 2008 @ 05:53 (UTC)

Cloud titleicon
Can anyone get a titleicon of Kumogakure's symbol for the ? ~Kakashi Namikaze (talk) 14:01, 14 July 2008 (UTC)


 * We use the SVG's we already have for those. I've added Cloud to the loyalties for Kumogakure. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) current discussion Jul 14, 2008 @ 19:10 (UTC)

hyuga missing-nin
who was the Raikage talking about in chapter 417 when he said why is konoha taking so long with uchiha they certainly dealt with hyuga swiftly enough. He wasn't talking about a missing nin he was talking about the incident with neji's father. He was surprised that the leaf had let sasuke roam free just because his from a prominent family.

The hebrew Naruto-pedia
As you have seen there are links from some pages on the English naruto-pedia to the hebrew one, and the opposite. So, the only "missing-link" is the one from the main page to the hebrew naruto-pedia's main page.

The page is protected so only sysops here can change it, and this is a request from one of the sysops here to add the next line:.

Thanks,

Info Boxes
Something is wrong with the info boxes the ages are not appearing in the age section instead they appear in whatever section is above it. is anyone else having this problem? also why don't we place the kekkei Genkai in the jutsu area? Viral Master


 * The Jutsu section is just for a limited set of jutsu, currently we list kekkei genkai using the titleicon. The new infobox will have a special parameter for kekkei genkai.
 * It might be related but the /Personal sub-box of the infoboxes was vandalized twice earlier on. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Jan 19, 2009 @ 16:27 (UTC)

Featured Article?
Has there been any talk about adding a Featured Article section to the main page? I could do it and have it done as soon as given 'permission', so to speak, without disturbing the flow of the page. --SuperN 16:18, 12 March 2009 (UTC)


 * We already have Narutopedia:Random Feature which is on the main page. If that thing never gets updated, you really think with wiki is up to the task of featuring articles? ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Mar 12, 2009 @ 17:15 (UTC)
 * I don't mind updating the featured page between one of the approved pages. SuperN 17:18, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Editing Blocks

 * Hey there, I'm just wondering about something. I've noticed that some articles that were previously blocked are now open for editing (Kakashi, Sasuke, etc.). Now, what bugs me is that while I was editing Minato's article (How he could be revived if his soul is sealed within Naruto) and it was suddenly blocked, while I was editing! So, are people with that privelage aware of wether or not someone else is editing, or can they do that all willy-nilly? Jacce, you were the one who blocked it, so, could you please explain this tiny issue.--Kagimizu 20:12, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

He probably done it cause people were adding too much speculation. Also your edit might of been deleted anyway because of that speculation.--Inferuno Ryuu 20:17, 13 March 2009 (UTC)


 * It's impossible to know if anyone is currently editing an article. MediaWiki does not give out this info, and it would actually be quite hard to implement. Remember that any improvements you want to make can be put on the talkpage. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Mar 14, 2009 @ 10:15 (UTC)


 * Alright, now I have a question for you: How do you feel about shipping articles?--Kagimizu 16:15, 14 March 2009 (UTC)


 * See Forum:Pairings, discussion was done and the community decided to remove anything related to shipping from the wiki. That kind of stuff can be taken to the Naruto Fanon Wiki. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Mar 15, 2009 @ 13:27 (UTC)


 * Okay. The stuff I wanted to put on Minato was in the trivia, the part about his possible would-be appearence during the Konaha Invasion arc (That trivia I myself added, prior to signing up). I was going to mention how he would've been able to be resurrected, if his soul was sealed within his own son. Could someone maybe add that on for me?--Kagimizu 18:27, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Indirect Results
Okay, I'm confused. When I went to the Mobius Encyclopaedia (Archie Sonic [Sonic The Hedgehog] Wiki) I found that it showed my username, complete with a userpage! So, when I signed up for one wiki, am I signed up for all of them? And if not, what the hell does Archie Sonic (my favorite video game series turned comic) have to do with Naruto (my favorite anime series)!?!?


 * Wikia uses a shared user table. So yes, when you signup for an account on a Wikia wiki, you are signing up for a user account that goes across all of wikia, not just an account for that individual wiki. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Mar 15, 2009 @ 23:04 (UTC)


 * Yeah, guess I figured that out when the Yu-Gi-Oh! Wiki alerted me to a new message on this wiki. It also showed my username on the Sonic News Network (Sonic Wiki). Guess I don't have to worry about for having to sign up for all of these wikis!....Okay I was gonna try and think of a bad (or good) joke for this moment, but I'm drawing a blank. Anyone got any ideas?:)--Kagimizu 23:13, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

Beta - Testing?
I've noticed that when I go to articles other than Talk Pages, there is an 'add category' bit at the bottom. When I checked it out, it said something about beta-testing. So, I have a few questions:

1. Can everybody do this beta-testing?

2. If not, is the beta-testing pick-and-choose, or random?

3. If it's pick and choose, why the heck would you pick one of the newest Users, and not someone who's done more for the wiki?

4. Are there any side-affects I should be watching for?

Could someone answer these questions, and also tell me if they come off as big-headed or rude, 'cause that is the last thing I want. Thank You.--Kagimizu 19:08, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Clans
I have a question about-you guessed it-clans. If two people from different clans, say, Hyuga and Inuzuka (Yes, I know what that example says, look at my User Page and you'll see why), got together and, umm, had a baby, eh-he, would that child be raised in the traditions of both clans, or one or the other? If it's on or the other, how would it be decided? I just thought this was a question worth asking, and there's no Talk Page for Clans, so I put the question here.--Kagimizu 00:10, 21 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Probably depends on who the father is. If the father is a Hyuga, then the child will be raised as a Hyuga and vice versa if the father is a Inuzuka. Now, if the child had a Kekkei Genkai, then it will most likely be raised around that. But who knows.--TheUltimate3 00:35, 21 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Okay, but you have to admit, the Byakugan would be really useful for Inuzuka techniques, like Fang over Fang, and What I think is called 'Wolf Fang', you know, what Kiba and Akamaru used against Sakon and Ukon.--Kagimizu 16:49, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

Watch List.....Ooops!
Hey, I'm having a problem with this 'watchlist' function. Whenever I seem to edit something, I guess it's added to the watchlist. The problem is, I ended up with 64 messages!!!!! How do I keep this from happening????!!!! Please.--Kagimizu 16:52, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
