Chart Template
Hi. Is it possible to add the Chart Template here? It would be interesting to have some family trees, maybe a page about it... I have some ideas. Narsha (talk) 19:02, September 7, 2015 (UTC)
 * Yeah, those. I'll contact Dantman first, thanks. If he gives an okay, I'll bring it to the community to approval. Narsha (talk) 19:50, September 7, 2015 (UTC)
 * Dantman replied. I made this edit to show you what I wish to do, somehow... of course it need to improve. The boxes and lines were made by me using the codes of the Chart Template (in another wikia). I used the characters that are below their respective trees as titles. The trees are more to show in-laws relationships since the infoboxes only show direct blood relationships and lovers. What do you think about it? Is it a good idea or is it better to stop? And, if I start a community discussion about it, what is the place? Clans' talk page or the forum? Thanks for your help and sorry for taking your time. Narsha (talk) 20:48, September 10, 2015 (UTC)


 * Agree with Dantman. One way it could be implemented is by creating a tree for each non-trivial clan and adding it to each member of the clan (~30 trees I guess). Thats the way most wikis implement the family tree.
 * But imo, The relations don't really grow very complex in naruto like say in a novel series like ASOIAF. The infobox already lists all the important relations that the reader would be interested in. Its too much work for too little return.--~Ultimate Supreme  06:19, September 12, 2015 (UTC)

 * Of course. But I'm still hoping for that Naruto online game to be playable outside of China first. I doubt that it means three new games and, if we indeed get at least one, we'll get one of the three, and get a vote, just like people voted on the word "STORM"--Omojuze (talk) 04:43, September 18, 2015 (UTC)
 * Best guess would be: not enough time to implement the system. They are shooting for a lot: Kaguya on her own should be pretty hard to implement, given her battlefield change ability. Also, wall climbing as well.--Omojuze (talk) 04:48, September 18, 2015 (UTC)
 * Oh that's what I forgot!! Yes, not it does :D To answer your previous question, not this year.. I'm moving to Denmark next year, off to school, if I make it that is, and even If I won't, I'm still leaving, so... Maybe some time in the future, but I hope I find a way to at least try it out.

And I believe you, Xenoverse looks gorgeous, when I see that game I think to myself - why am I not liking DBZ as much as I used to back in the day?!! >.<--Omojuze (talk) 21:33, September 18, 2015 (UTC)

 * Ok thanks. Also with the DBS Champa Arc, it's actually a bit interesting so far. It's as comedy-based as it is action, like how funny it was to see Beerus and Champa fighting over sweets. --SSJ2AJB (talk) 01:17, December 13, 2015 (UTC)


 * Know what you mean lol. I'm kinda looking forward to this tournament, though I wish Gohan could participate. He kept going from being badass to bookworm since this whole started. --SSJ2AJB (talk) 01:27, December 13, 2015 (UTC)


 * Yeah they really downgraded Gohan's abilities over the years. He was my favorite character too (and still is). At least they finally made him a Super Saiyan 4. --SSJ2AJB (talk) 01:47, December 13, 2015 (UTC)


 * I think that's with Android #18 absorbed. --SSJ2AJB (talk) 01:58, December 13, 2015 (UTC)


 * I'd flip out if they start handing out SS4 and SSGSS forms to every Saiyan out there. Though at the same, I'd hope to play as one of them in the video games. --SSJ2AJB (talk) 02:15, December 13, 2015 (UTC)


 * Nah, I kinda lost interest in DBZ games after the Raging Blast series, though I do watch the gameplays of Xenoverse sometimes. I miss gameplay elements like beam struggles or physical clashes, which is pretty much why I still like playing the Budokai/ Budokai Tenkaichi series. What about you? --SSJ2AJB (talk) 02:32, December 13, 2015 (UTC)

Exactly! I've been hoping for a long time they would make a BT4 or Raging Blast 3, especially the latter because just two games in a series just feels empty to me. The current games: yeah they're good, but not enough to top the BT series. --SSJ2AJB (talk) 02:52, December 13, 2015 (UTC)


 * Though the story mode of Xenoverse is pretty cool. --SSJ2AJB (talk) 02:53, December 13, 2015 (UTC)


 * Yeah lol. I didn't really mind replaying the story over and over (in fact I loved it, since each game had better gameplay than the last). But nice that there was finally some originality in the game instead of in the anime series. --SSJ2AJB (talk) 03:00, December 13, 2015 (UTC)


 * True that. --SSJ2AJB (talk) 04:01, December 13, 2015 (UTC)

Re: Star Wars: The Force
I would say yes, but regrettably I haven't done serious in depth study (yes I said study lol) of Star Wars in quite some time. But yes I am quite a big Star Wars fan who plans to see the Episode 7 tomorrow night (Thursday).--TheUltimate3 (talk) 02:35, December 17, 2015 (UTC)
 * After having watched Episode 7, yeah the movie is fine. It is not without minor issues from me but overall it is my new top Star Wars movie (For the record: 7, 3, 5, 4, 6, 1, 2). They did not use George Lucas' script, and I think Abrams rewrote the new script from scratch so overall it's a great film.
 * My opinion of the Prequels are that they are not nearly as terribad as the overwhelming majority of Star Wars fans believe them to be. That is not to say they are necessarily great as a whole. The dialogue is super weak, the plot is unfocused, and the characters are for the most part forgettable and this relates back to the last point about the plot. But as I stated before, Episode 3 was my favorite Star Wars film until this one, because despite all of that, I came out of the theater having super enjoyed it. It also helps that I was 9 when the Prequels started and 15 when they ended so I was quite literally the target audience for it, as opposed to the 30-40(?) year olds who were the target audience when the films first came out. That being said, I understand a lot of the issues the Prequels, as I mentioned above and they are not unfounded. The Dialogue is super weak, and laughably bad, the plot was super unfocused because a large part of it dealt with "Big Picture" things as opposed to the more character focus of the Original Trilogy. And I am happy to say that Episode 7 does this correctly, a greater focus is on Character development, not Plot Development. There is a difference. Overall, had the Prequels had the exact same plot, but a director who had someone rewrite his script so the characters talked like actual people and had the story revolve around character and not Grand Scope politics game, they would have been fine I wouldn't have to say "I like the Prequels" in hushed voices.
 * And finally, I loved both Clone Wars series. Ahsoka was a bit grating at first, she seemed like the snarky kid they add to the movie who things they are a way bigger deal than they actually are, but always seem to come out right in the end for like the first season, before adjusting it actually felt like she was the student learning under a master. And the Genndy Tartakovsky Clone Wars cartoon showed General Grevious as he should have been in Episode III and the 3D Clone Wars so that'll always be up there in my book.--TheUltimate3 Akimichi Symbol.svg (talk) 13:00, December 18, 2015 (UTC)
 * My favorite parts are really the ones where other people are the focus and not Obi-Wan or Anakin. Ahsoka really started to shine after I think after season 2, so episodes that tended to focus on her were very enjoyable. Episodes that also dealt with the actual war and not some strange Sith plot where also really high on my list as were things involving the Clones. But hands down, the duel between Darth Sidious vs Maul and Savage Opress was the best lightsaber duel in all forms of media.--TheUltimate3 Akimichi Symbol.svg (talk) 11:53, December 21, 2015 (UTC)

re: admin/sysop
Interestingly, when I first started using Wikia long ago, I always used the term "admin" and never sysop. Over the years though, my opinion changed, primarily because of the fact that I'd been administrating internet forums alongside the odd Wikia contribution: due to the differences between the admin of a wiki and the admin of a forum, I began to adopt the technical (and more accurate) word "sysop" for those who had the sysop flag on a wiki (simply because the user group at the core code level of MediaWiki calls it "sysop", not admin, though the front end text can be changed) and adopted "admin" exclusively for use on non-wiki sites. This is because an admin on a forum has a lot of control over the site that a sysop on a wiki does not. Below I go into detail about two main reasons why I do this.

The main reason for my decision to use the word "sysop" is mainly because it's generally accepted that a hierarchy exists on an internet forum, because you "earn your way" to becoming a moderator or administrator of a forum and it is MUCH harder to revert rogue moderator actions (you can do it, but there is no "quick way" like you can with wiki edits). On forums, there are no "bots" and there's no way to automate the reversion of rogue moderator actions, which means other moderators and administrators must manually look through the moderator logs and go through every single action and revert them, which is VERY time consuming: in a wiki environment, a user need only set up a bot (giving it the bot flag) and revert the bad contributions, without anyone noticing that anything happened.

The other main reason for my decision is that rights on a wiki are less dangerous than they are in a forum environment. If I were to give someone the sysop flag on a wiki, then it's easy for me to take that way quickly or even to revert bad edits they've made (even easier if they vandalise community JS due to the JS Review Tool blocking any attempts to add malicious code there). But in a forum environment, it is much harder to deal with rogue administrators, as a rogue admin with the wrong administrator permissions set on their account for the forum's Admin Control Panel, can cause a LOT of damage (an example of something that a rogue forum admin could do is change the URL and cookie settings, essentially making the whole forum unusable to every forum member without a database backup, which will lose posts if the backup is not recent). A rogue sysop on a wiki doesn't have anywhere close to this level of access to harm a wiki, because MediaWiki has no "admin control panel" to automate the changes, so unless they've got FTP or cPanel access to the localsettings.php file, they cannot harm the wiki in the way that a rogue forum admin could, making a sysop's bad actions simpler to revert.

I hope this explains everything about why I use sysop on a wiki and not the word admin. Feel free to post on my talkpage if you have further queries or questions! :D --SuperSajuuk (talk) 20:51, April 1, 2016 (UTC)
 * Actually some wiki's on Wikia do allow bureaucrats to grant bot flag (but it's extremely rare, the only known case I know of is the Runescape Wiki). The default action is to allow bureaucrats to remove the bot flag (but not grant) from bad bots, but not many wiki's have this (the wiki's which don't either requested that feature to be removed, or Wikia Staff took it away due to abuse, or the wiki is bugged).
 * You would be correct in saying that Wikia Staff are the administrators (in essence like a forum admin) of the service. While forum admins can each be limited in what they can do (through admin perms, which limits what features they've got access to (most admins tend to just have forums, users and groups rights, only the "super admins" tend to have every other feature), limiting abuse and rogue admins breaking the site), Wikia Staff have essentially full control of every wiki.
 * I think the reason a lot of users tend to call the sysops "admins" is because either they don't understand that sysops don't actually have full access to things, or because Wikia Staff repeatedly call them "admins" so that Staff don't need to get involved when a sysop is doing things that aren't in the best interests of the wiki. Both are just as bad as each other and does not help when you try to explain that a sysop is just a regular user with some extra buttons and doesn't have a lot of additional access: whereas an admin on a forum could quite easily do what they want without anyone noticing (the only users who would notice if an admin is abusing their position is if another admin with the right access can view the admin and mod logs, which non-admins cannot view: different on a wiki where the community can see everything as it's publically logged). --SuperSajuuk (talk) 21:26, April 1, 2016 (UTC)
 * I realised that I failed to mention one difference between admins and sysops. When a sysop "blocks" a user from the wiki, all they do is revoke editing abilities, but the user can still read everything (so they can still watch on and laugh when a wiki is going downhill): but a "ban" enacted by a forum moderator revokes "everything" (you can't even view the site and some forums even remove the ability to log out to prevent the user socking the ban, though the level of what is revoked by the ban is customisable by forum administrators).
 * Don't worry about forgetting, it's easy to do when so many wiki's are just the same generic setup with limited customisation. :p --SuperSajuuk (talk) 21:33, April 1, 2016 (UTC)
 * Yep, you are completely correct. A lot of terminology that is used on "forums" are usually confused on a wiki, so when someone "blocks" you on a wiki, people take it the wrong way and think it's more harsh than it really is, when in reality, a block on a wiki is just saying "stop editing, but read the wiki anyway". On a forum, it's a "we don't want you back here and we don't want you reading anything we post, piss off" type notice :p --SuperSajuuk (talk) 21:38, April 1, 2016 (UTC)
 * I agree, though the implementations that exist for some forum software (thinking vBulletin 3.x here) aren't that great and they don't always work since clearing cookies causes you to get logged out anyway (the only method that would work is to have a system where the notice appears regardless of the user being logged in or not, ie not setting a cookie, which is difficult to pull off without such things being intercepted with an adblocker).
 * The only way it could be done is if Wikia made every wiki use it's own user database, rather than an SSO hacky solution so that one account works everywhere (and in which causes blocks to be completely pointless in general). --SuperSajuuk (talk) 21:54, April 1, 2016 (UTC)
 * I did see that discussion come up a lot of times on Central Wiki (and even on the Wikia Community discord server), but luckily for me, I don't see it since ad blocker is necessary for me to actually use the Internet with my 3mbps connection :p (though despite that, I absolutely abhor ads being placed in the middle of content, it's just dumb as that isn't what content is for).
 * And yes, the fandom nonsense is bullshit and I CSS'd it off my experience the minute I saw it. I like my Wikia experience pre-global navigation nonsense :p --SuperSajuuk (talk) 22:14, April 1, 2016 (UTC)
