Welcome
Greetings and welcome to Narutopedia. We do hope that you will stay for a long time. Enjoy your stay as we work to become the best Naruto info site out there. BELIVE IT! -The Greeting Team

Names
Actualy, a name order hasen't been decided yet, the discussion is still going on at Forum:Names. Dantman (Talk) 07:19, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Infobox?
What's with the fake infobox page? Dantman (Talk) 01:30, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
 * That's just the format of how to write one into a page. But don't worry about infoboxes, I'm working on a new infobox system on the animepedia and when the infoboxes are complete a bot is going to copy them over here just like with a number of other templates that are on here. But for now, why not entertain yourself with Userboxes. Dantman (Talk) 01:51, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Links
Actualy, Fourth Hokage shouldn't be changed to Hokage, and Sauske should stay as sauske to. Once the Forum:Names discussion has been completed I will be building a bot which will keep name standards. One of the things it does is make sure that all 3 forms of the romanized name, the japanese name, the english name, and all the nicknames that the character goes by have a redirect to, or are the article about the character. Sauske will link to the article about sauske, and as for Fourth Hokage, the Fourth Hokage is an individual character, an article will be created about him. As for Kyubi, forms such as Nine-Tailed Demon fox will also all link to the correct article. So it's best not to change things like that. The only time where a link should point to something different than it's text is when you are doing something like saying a summoning tecnique in the context of the article and using the pipe(|) to make that link to the article about the Jutsu (All Jutsu will have their own articles in the future to.

Templates
I should introduce you to the template. It's similar to wikipedia's Nihongo template, but it has some different syntax and extra uses. The use of it is multiple forms of a word. The first 3 parameters are English Word, Japanese word, and then Romanized Japanese word. I even have it inside of the editbox. Oh, btw. Hyuuga is actualy Hyūga but the ū is converted to it's longer form. It's basicly romanized without the accents. But what your doing is fine, though, don't work to hard on little things like that. I could have things like that done in a short time without any noticeable things showing up in the recent changes, or any user interaction. Dantman (Talk) 05:05, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Greeting Team
I'd just like to say...woah. When I first started going around and doing the greeting team thing I never knew that others would pick it up. I've relized that I've been kinda selfish about this wiki considering that back in the old days I was the main (if not only) contributer. I'm now starting to relize that I can't be so controlling. After all, I'm NOT the admin and I'm no longer the top contributer....I think that YOU have that spot now. I now that this may sound weird after I beat my self up...but I'm really glad that even when I'm away that this wiki can still stand on its own and that the Recent Changes page will ALWAYS have RECENT changes on it.

 * Nope, you still have a few more edits LoneWolf 5. You're still in the rankings. Greeting Team, eh. Maybe I'll build you guys a greeting template sometime. Dantman (Talk) 05:17, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Really? You don't think that the whole Greeting Team thing isn't overly sappy and might stop people from actually coming? LoneWolf 5 17:39, 1 March 2007 (UTC)LoneWolf 5
 * Nah, wikipedia does it a little bit. Dantman (Talk) 21:54, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Userbox
Hey, can I replace that subst'ed userbox copied from wikipedia with the naruto ranks userbox created for the Wikia Anime Project. It's got a little different wording, but that wording is what makes it so that people don't confuse user's having fun with userboxes, with those using it to represent actual status tags.

Rules Page
The Rules page actualy spans multiple pages. I've got some Policy pages done, but I'm also still thinking on how to do this with multiple projects. I'll get to it soon enough. Dantman (Talk) 23:26, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
