Jutsu Infobox
What needs to be done to the jutsu infobox for it to be ready for implementation? Also, is it gonna be manual edits or bot replacing info? Simant (talk) 06:02, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Well the first problem i notice is that under type there is only the ability to select one option, whereas i have seen jutsu with defensive and offensive. Simant (talk) 06:23, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
 * It looks like the problem with the range is that it is doing the array map first then the switch. So is the arraymap is just there untill the switch starts to work? so the problem is getting the variable into the switch statement? Simant (talk) 09:05, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
 * its working ok.. i just am still seeing the extra commas in front of it and not the text changing to "short to mid". is it my cache or something? Simant (talk) 09:21, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Another issue is that there appears to only be space for one parent jutsu, when some game jutsu's and harem technique have multiple parents, shadow clone and transformation. Simant (talk) 02:18, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

And when the infobox is being used in a artical, the "Shippūden" section code is written without the line over u, making all jutsus first appear in Shippūden. Jacce | Talk 16:44, October 1, 2009 (UTC)

You are probably right, all I meant was that when not choosing "Debuted in Shippuden", the box still said that it first appeared in Shippuden. Jacce | Talk 18:27, October 1, 2009 (UTC)

Something bugged up somewhere.. causing justu range after being inputted to be listed as uses kekkai genkai after using the formedit.Simant (talk) 21:29, October 1, 2009 (UTC)

Article of the month/week
Hi. I dunno if it is ok to compare with other Wikies, but I'll take my chances and do it. On Bleach wiki, on their main page they have an Article of the Month (which we could turn into article of the week or smth) for characters (but we could do it for jutsu, places etc as well). I dunno how the system works to create such a thing, but it would be nice to have it for newcomers who do not know what to search for first. - MadaraU (talk) 07:58, October 1, 2009 (UTC)
 * Now that you mentioned it, the random page feature does kind of render the article of the week feature useless. Thanks for the quick reply. - MadaraU (talk) 08:05, October 1, 2009 (UTC)

The Chap Is Out
Can we unlock the Fifth Mizukage article now?Saimaroimaru (talk) 07:27, October 2, 2009 (UTC)

Re:
Thanks for the info :) I like the jutsu icons that are on the new infobox, but i don't like them actually being in the info box. looks kind of weird to have all text in the infobox (other than the pic) and then have the release type icon and have it increasing the height of that row.  Just a suggestion.

Missing image
I know that the character infobox is tagged synced across multiple wikia; but I was wondering anyways if we could add the same Maintenance: Missing image tags to it like we have for the jutsu and episode infobox; Also perhaps a maintenance for missing translations to help ShounenSuki‎ (and others?) out. Simant (talk) 18:28, October 3, 2009 (UTC)

O-Parts Hunter Wiki
Is there in discussion a wiki for 666 Satan (O-Parts Hunter) Manga? I am asking it because I know you are not resuming solely to Narutopedia and I've seen on your info page that you are currently reading it. - MadaraU (talk) 20:36, October 9, 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes it is referred to as 666 Satan in Japan because the story pretty much revolves around this dude:)) I would never read the english volumes because judging from the very name of the manga (in the english version), it is heavily censored. Then again... I cannot read the Raw manga because I am no jap speaker/reader. I was left with only one option: to read the scanlations... AND BOY WAS THAT HARD!!! (read further to see why) You asked me if I would be interested in editing it. Hell yeah I would be, but having only the scanlations at my disposal would not make it a professional work (SOME SCANLATIONS ARE SO BAD that I am still wondering if I caught the full spirit of the manga - which is awesome by the way). If we were to be more who would work on the project (some of which could read raws as well) then something good (like Narutopedia) would come out of it. Anyways, if we were to revive the 666 Satan (Yes I would prefer this name more:P) Wiki we would have to correspond through mails or yahoo messenger (the talk style on wiki is mendokusai :) ) BTW I have not understood the last part of your message: B. Ichi. (is it a crypted reference to Bleach :)) ? ). - MadaraU (talk) 06:58, October 10, 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok, I'll see what I can do. - MadaraU (talk) 07:55, October 10, 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I am waiting on you then. - MadaraU (talk) 08:57, October 10, 2009 (UTC)
 * Good Job. I'll try to make an article for Jio once I get home from work. - MadaraU (talk) 15:43, October 12, 2009 (UTC)

Spoiler Warning message
Just wondering since it seems out of place, did you want the spoiler warning to appear here on Special:SpecialPages? Simant (talk) 19:42, October 10, 2009 (UTC)
 * Spoiler warning though should appear on this specialpage. Special:CreatePage :\ Simant (talk) 05:18, October 13, 2009 (UTC)

Re:Rollback
Hmm, I've seen you on a couple of other Wikis before, so I'll direct my questions to you. Is there a list of administrators and policies on this Wiki? Also, isn't rollback meant solely for the reverting of vandalism and not a tool to make quick edits? Thanks. Calebchiam Talk 07:00, October 11, 2009 (UTC)
 * Is there a process to select administrators? I noticed that Charitwo (a user that I know) is a sysop with 189 edits. Also, are there any behavioural policies, like a user treatment policy of sorts? I hope I'm not annoying you with all these questions ^^. Calebchiam Talk 07:21, October 11, 2009 (UTC)
 * Mm, that makes sense. Probably cuts down on a lot of the Wikidrama as well. Calebchiam Talk 10:09, October 11, 2009 (UTC)

Semantic MediaWikia and Semantic Forms
Hello Dantman,

I am Ten Tailed Fox (talk), a regular visitor to this wiki, as well as an administrator on both Naruto Fanon Wiki and Bleach Fan Fiction Wiki. I have just sent a request to Wikia to ask them to activate Semantic MediaWikia and Semantic Forms, so that we can set up a template, similar to how you here at Naruto Wiki did with your jutsu. The staff I spoke to at Wikia referred me to you. Can you possibly explain to me how to set up both Semantic MediaWikia and Semantic Forms?

Thank you for your time,

Ten Tailed Fox (talk) 21:49, October 11, 2009 (UTC)


 * Thank you, I will contact you if I have any questions. Ten Tailed Fox (talk) 17:04, October 12, 2009 (UTC)

Akatsuki memebers' rings
I noticed that in the jutsu infobox the elemental natures' icons were scaled enough to be put inside the infobox. I was wondering if such a thing could be done with the Akatsuki rings and be put for each member inside their character box (or how it is called). I am guessing that first of all the pictures of the rings (or just the kanji on a circle colored with the color of the respective ring) ought to be drawn. Then again it could be said that it is not that important seeing as only a handful of people wore such rings, most of the ones who wore them are dead while the rings are not worn by anyone anymore, but then again the rings are an important part of what Akatsuki is (otherwise Zetsu would not have been sent to recover them). Perhaps the rings will play a bigger role in the future. Waiting on your opinion on this, Dantman. - MadaraU (talk) 06:41, October 12, 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok, tks for the answer. If only I'd had more time, I would draw the svg's myself :-< - MadaraU (talk) 09:02, October 12, 2009 (UTC)

Jutsu media
I modified the Template:Infobox/Jutsu so that if there is a debut in anime/manga, it will list it as jutsu media in that field. Now since semantics seems to need to be updated manually for each page, I was hoping you could send a bot to do null edits to all the jutsu pages, so they would update. Simant (talk) 01:49, October 13, 2009 (UTC)
 * *shrug* I just didn't see any cases where that wouldn't be true; Unless someone knows it debuted in anime and forgot which episode. But I guess we can go through and manually tag them all... Simant (talk) 02:26, October 13, 2009 (UTC)

Infobox
Our wikia has received the upgrades, but we still need a working infobox to go with it. I tried to replicate the one that is used here, however, for some reason it would not work. I need your assistance in creating a working, character and jutsu infobox that will work with the new upgrade. ~ NOTASTAFF Ryun Uchiha (Ten Tailed Fox, Getsueikirite-taichou) (talk) 02:37, October 13, 2009 (UTC)

Volumes
Converting Volumes to be semantic compatible. see Template:Infobox/Naruto/Volume and Form:Volume, do changes as you see fit. Simant (talk) 02:15, October 15, 2009 (UTC)

I was thinking of creating a new property:Volume number, but why not just change Property:Episode number -> Property:Release number, and have it work for both. Simant (talk) 15:56, October 18, 2009 (UTC)
 * K, then should I just create the new property:Volume number? or deal with it later. Simant (talk) 16:00, October 18, 2009 (UTC)
 * !! giving me issues on Hokage vs. Hokage!!, not displaying one of the !, and nowiki gives me more problems... probably because #set:&lt;nowiki&gt; ... Simant (talk) 17:57, October 18, 2009 (UTC)

Ninja rank
"This is getting tiresome, Village Head was never stated to be a Ninja Rank" -It is a rank, that ninja from multiple villages have. Is it necessary for it to be on a chart to include when we have multiple examples of it? It makes sense to be there. ZeroSD (talk) 10:48, October 18, 2009 (UTC)

Just so you know...
...i only said what i said because he harassed my friend by calling her a coward. i was making it even.

About the Giant Ram/Bull
I have modified everywhere in the Giant Ram's page to make it correct that it is a Bull, but I cannot correct the title of the page to make it Giant Bull. If you could... thanks. Also at species I've put cattle given that the bull is a male cattle. - MadaraU (talk) 08:55, October 21, 2009 (UTC)

Soft Redirect
I was wondering what you thought about protecting soft redirects, since it breaks the semantic system pretty bad when messed up, at least so only registered users can edit them. Simant (talk) 22:49, October 21, 2009 (UTC)
 * Also, it would be nice if Uzumaki Naruto! could be a redirect and have the semantic properties at the same time. since i'm linking the debut's to the episode/manga title in the character infobox. Simant (talk) 23:11, October 21, 2009 (UTC)

Primary jutsus
I think the section "primary jutsu" should be added to the characters' info box. I would suggest putting it maybe under the nature manipulation and above the list of known jutsus. I'm suggesting this because in the english manga (maybe also in the japanese) there is sometimes a page at the end with a naruto character on it. This page lists a few facts about the character. I have only read 2 pages like this and the only way I can find them is by buying mangas. I would rather read this info on the internet. So maybe everyone with a copy of any english naruto manga with a character fact sheet can contribute to this site.

Zatch Bell Wiki
As one of the main creator of wikis you can understand the importance of reliable information. So Im asking, with your help, I'm wondering if you can get Zatch Bell wiki back up to date.The current admin isnt doing much and so far im appalled at the effort put into the wiki. Being one of my more favored shounen I expected work to be picked up quickly on it.That has yet come to pass, so with your help im hoping we can get something done despite my lack of knowldge on how to use a wiki.

Don't you remember?

how do i get the caution symbol next to deceased? this is my talk page http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:KiumaruHamachi (sorry - - ~ ~ ~ ~ doesn't work)
 * by the new infobox: do u mean this... or another one. Because i like the current infoboxes. And I have been trying to get that model for the longest and when i typed in Template:Infobox ill copy and paste fill in the right parameters and it will look like that.

http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:KiumaruHamachi
 * that infobox is the new infobox on the new wikis created in late 2008 to current. I think I have an idea. Change my style to Wikipedia. I think that might be able to work. Sadly, my view on Narutopedia will be wikipedia... oh well. http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:KiumaruHamachi
 * I meant my wiki... that i'm doing. Narutopedia will always be in its current style the style i like. I'm thinking of using Narutopedia's infoxboxes. But its only a test. http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:KiumaruHamachi

Opinion
Currently Template:CharacterJutsu, works, but it is a bit messy, opinion, comments, cleaning ideas? Simant (talk) 17:56, November 12, 2009 (UTC)

Hello
Sorry about the messy animation article - I figured the black background would be a lot easier on the eyes, but I guess it turned out kind of ugly. I'm new to this so I'm not really familiar with much of the code. If you know of a better way to format it than the basic table, I wouldn't mind redoing the whole thing.

Insane111 (talk) 20:58, November 12, 2009 (UTC)

Do I have a policy-grounded reason to be annoyed?
If you look at the uploads Xandotablets has done (Special:Contributions/Xandotablets), he has uploaded several anime images over the original manga images instead of uploading them in new files. TheUlitmate3 and I aren't agreeing on the legallity of this (Conversation: User_talk:TheUltimate3, User_talk:Hakinu). Could you give your voice in the matter? Thanks, ~Hakinu (talk 19:03, November 19, 2009 (UTC)


 * Basically to chime my reasoning in, I see this case as a loophole in the Policy.


 * Teh Loophole: In the same vain where a Scanlation image is replaced with a RAW image, an manga image can be replaced by a Anime image, as long as that image is exactly the same as the manga image it was replacing.
 * For example: The now defunct picture of Madara Uchiha's Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan image, it was replaced with the direct anime version of the image. Using the above loophole, the image could be changed with no problem.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 19:09, November 19, 2009 (UTC)

There's no loophole, that's just wikilawyering. "same image" in the policy refers to the precise same image, there can be no difference in where it came from. The reason that the policy is in place is because MW's history does not keep page text organized with the relevant version of the image. Thus if you upload an image covered under a different fair use rationale it messes up the page history because it's hard to separate what rationale was used for what image. Thus the spirit of the policy is "Don't upload an image over any image unless the images are covered by the exact same rationale."; Thus you can't upload images of different people (voids the description), you can't upload an anime image over a manga image (voids the source), you can't use an image from a chapter/episode/page/scene which is different than the original's (also voids the source). The purpose, resolution, and "replaceable?" fields don't really matter though. So yes, any of Xandotablets re-uploads that upload a anime image over a manga image should be reverted. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Nov 19, 2009 @ 20:08 (UTC)
 * I have another question, for images from episodes, is the fair use rationale valid if the episode number is missing? Simant (talk) 20:46, November 19, 2009 (UTC)
 * How do you want them to be tagged if they don't have the episode number? is there a template already? Simant (talk) 23:11, November 19, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh so I was Wikilaywering. Hm, I prefer to call it a Loophole >.> Alright then. Let's get er done.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 21:50, November 19, 2009 (UTC)

Request
Several of the users of my Naruto Fanon Wiki would like to use infoboxes like you have for your jutsu and your characters. Is there anyway you would be willing to put it on my wiki, or at least teach me how? I know it's a pain, and I apologize in advance, but it would be a great help to our wiki. Thank you for your time. ~ NOTASTAFF Ryun Uchiha (Ten Tailed Fox, Getsueikirite-taichou) (talk) 03:32, November 20, 2009 (UTC)

Oops
Hi, I was told by Simant to ask you about a Navbox for Akatsuki members, I use this wiki for information on akatsuki members alot and i knew it would make it easyer to go from page to page with a navbox. I made and placed a navbox on a few pages but they were deleted by Simant. Like i said, i'm new to this wiki so i dont know how things are done here. Is there some rule against navboxas? If there is I apologize for the mistake. Thanks--Zexion14 (talk) 20:30, November 22, 2009 (UTC)

Family Tree
How far along the family tree do you want the infobox to list characters relations? Simant (talk) 20:18, October 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * Well i made the generations for the family tree go from grandparent to grandchild. It still needs to remove duplicate entries, since it displays children from both parents. Also a few bugs still such as displaying a extra line when Hiashi/Hizashi; Also for some reason Neji adds an extra line to the bottom that is a broken link... I might add a function to check the ages between character for younger/older siblings, twins, and such. Also, this family tree, and jutsu need to be sorted, preferably while in string format separated by commas, not sure how to do that on mediawiki, hoping you could tell me how to do the sort. Simant (talk) 01:16, October 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * Nope can't do that since its set up so they contain multiple queries. Simant (talk) 01:35, October 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * Perhaps install this Sort Extension? Simant (talk) 01:44, October 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * Well I suppose i could do it a horribly ugly way by using lots of OR statements in an ask statement. -.- Simant (talk) 02:04, October 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * Then again.. I'd probally have to seperate the manga only, anime only, from the normal jutsu list if i did it that way. Is that ok? Simant (talk) 02:06, October 27, 2009 (UTC)

RE: Advanced Templates
Um, well i was thinking since we were not going to have any of Species next to Summoning technique since the list would be automatically generated. We needed a space for affinity, and I figured why not use the space system as for media. But That edit was to separate the two, so that the word "only" would not appear when you typed something like Naruto Uzimaki~Toads It would Just show (Toads). Simant (talk) 20:10, October 17, 2009 (UTC)
 * On second thought I suppose it is kinda useless (right now) since we don't need the word "only" in there, but when we do the semantic properties it may be useful to differentiate the two. Simant (talk) 20:15, October 17, 2009 (UTC)
 * Yah, okay, got the part about the whitespace. But I'm not sure how to handle the switch without the ifeq statement. Simant (talk) 20:35, October 17, 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok I cleaned it up. Btw, was wondering how we were gonna handle semantic properties of characters that used jutsu in only one media, with other jutsu users in other media. Only way I could think of (without giving myself a headache) was making separate media properties for each user field such as Anime Users::Manga Users:: . and then doing combined searches with ask query. Simant (talk) 03:40, October 18, 2009 (UTC)


 * I was wondering if we could have the min/max chapters in a volume displayed like it was here but still using the inline query. I'm guessing you would have to do something with format=template, and stuff, but i'm not sure of the code to return min/max values from the property manga chapters (property not made yet). Simant (talk) 20:03, October 20, 2009 (UTC)
 * Pretty sure nothing skips in volumes, unlike in anime episodes, they should all be in order. (I would hope at least) ill take a quick look through them all and check, then if so, i'll start changing. Would you mind setting up the form, while im looking? Simant (talk) 21:30, October 20, 2009 (UTC)

Do you know of a way to pass a variable such as name through an ask query to the template:sandbox? Simant (talk) 21:25, October 22, 2009 (UTC)
 * Well if thats the case I may have to remove the user property all together to get the search to work, and have them all divided up into Properties such as, User Manga, User Anime, User Movie, User Game. Simant (talk) 01:07, October 23, 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok, I can easily move them back, inside the infobox. Is it ok to keep the icons for the hiden jutsu, and the kekkei genkai as well inside the infobox? Simant (talk) 16:51, October 24, 2009 (UTC)
 * Um, how do you feel about kekkei genkai that are also chakra nature, picture for both, or just one. Blaze Release: Kagutsuchi. Simant (talk) 17:32, October 24, 2009 (UTC)
 * Well i had an ask query before to eliminate the extra one in the titleicons, but removed it when transfering. Simant (talk) 17:35, October 24, 2009 (UTC)
 * I almost got the infobox jutsu search working for users. User:Simant/Sandbox 2, just gotta get rid of those line breaks, and do a sort, then do same thing that is done on jutsu pages with (anime only) etc. Though i'm not sure how to get rid of the line breaks, or if sort will work with them in there. Simant (talk) 18:07, October 24, 2009 (UTC)
 * I was wondering if you had any insight why there are 23 extra non-visible characters in front of the frist, and after the last lines in the code

from Template:Infobox/Naruto/Character, they only display as off (at the beginning) and on (at the end), and only if the code is put into a link. Its kinda serious perturbing... Simant (talk) 18:21, October 25, 2009 (UTC)
 * I figured it out for some reason there was SMW::off at the front of the text, and SMW::on at the end... now that i know what the exact values are i think i can just trim them off. this is probably a bug that should be reported... Simant (talk) 18:53, October 25, 2009 (UTC)
 * Quick question why doesn't this:

Return no results. Simant (talk) 00:50, October 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * So.. any ideas? Clearly I am missing something obvious about the syntax of the above query statement. Also, I decided I am gonna either:
 * A. Do a sort using string functions and switch statement. OR
 * B. Give up on trying to sort. And.
 * 1. Wait till someone makes a php sort that is acceptable. Simant (talk) 20:51, October 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * Well uh... first off family. Maybe I overcomplicated it, but I didn't see a simple way to do it with a single ask query. Data from family is set up to come back this way:

Hyuga Elder~Grandfather, Hiashi Hyuga~Father, Hanabi Hyuga~Sister, Hizashi Hyuga~Uncle, Neji Hyuga~Cousin Data from jutsu comes back basically the same way, and since I separated single media specific jutsu users from the user parameter, It can't really be combined easily or possibly at all. Simant (talk) 21:11, October 27, 2009 (UTC) Simant (talk) 21:11, October 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * I think I will try to do a bubble sort with two arraymaps using the string function... It would look too ugly if there were sections for only one result. By the way is Extension:ArrayExtension installed? Simant (talk) 21:25, October 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * This looks like what needs to be done. Help:ArrayExtension - Alter an Array Simant (talk) 21:29, October 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure by what you mean I did something wrong with the way I got the results of a Characters Jutsu/family. Since I couldn't pass variables into the query:

Simant (talk) 18:42, October 29, 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) For the Jutsu with one user only in a media, I instead appended the variable to the front of the results. Which makes the two queries separate and unable to do a sort together using the query sort feature.
 * 2) For the families. Did you want me to make a separate property for each relation? Otherwise if only using the parent property, special cases like godfather would have to be handled without the ask query which also can't be sorted using a single query. It could probably be made into a single query if each page had properties for each relationship, but then making it tag (such as Minato Namikaze (Father)) the type of relationship would be difficult if at all possible.

Character Age
I have been wondering why we are listing character age throughout a specify part in the series rather then just their age at debut. I don't think we have any cases of characters who stop aging (chronologically at least; otherwise maybe madara... but doesn't matter). This is disrupting my ability to create Template:CharacterAge, properly. Simant (talk) 22:23, November 2, 2009 (UTC)

Family Tree - Both Parents Checking - Half-Siblings
I'm trying to do a query with the parents, so it checks children from both parents, so that siblings can be marked as "half-siblings." The problem is, with the duplicates in the family from both parents, I don't know how to remove them without using a counter variable, which I have no idea how to create/change in mediawiki syntax. Any ideas/help would be appreciated. Simant (talk) 21:49, December 1, 2009 (UTC)
 * Figured out a way to remove duplicate info in an array using #arraysearch, and #arraydefine, but they are also both part of Extension:ArrayExtension which you didn't like..., but with that installed the infobox would be complete... Simant (talk) 02:14, December 4, 2009 (UTC)

Two new categories in the character infobox
What do you think about two new categories named Master(or Sensei) and Apprentice for each character? The student-teacher relationship is one of the most important in this story therefore these two categories could be added under the family category or something in order to better illustrate these ties which in the Narutoverse are just as important as family ties ( if not more important :D ). And if a character had more than one teacher (like Naruto) we can add them all just as we can add all the students each character had (if the respective teacher had any). - MadaraU (talk) 19:02, November 30, 2009 (UTC)

Permanent Resignation
Hello Dantman, it's been a while. What I'm about to write to you will be my last series of inquiries (and quite frankly, my last series of edits) as I've decided to resign from this wiki for good; I just couldn't see any future for me to continue working here. No offense, but I just couldn't stand seeing the numerous inconsistent Naruto facts found in the site (as a result of numerous faulty decisions made by the community). What's more, I've had my fair share of experiencing injustices done to me (i.e. having my contributed images deleted - despite them being in accordance to the wiki's rules), leading me to conclude that this wiki isn't just for me (despite Naruto being my favorite anime). So for the last time, I'm asking your help: How do I unsubscribe from this wiki (if possible)? This might be saddening for you, but I've completely made up my mind. I hope you could understand and help me out on this final plea.--Ethelion (talk) 04:31, December 12, 2009 (UTC)

Nine Tailed abilities should not be listed as techniques
Hey Dantman I just wanted to tell you that I think the Nine tails techniques that are listed in naruto's jutsu list should not be there because they are not connsistent techniques and they take up to much space. I propose you move there information to anouther technique like {Nine-Tailed Transformations} as added information.

Frustrating bug (don't know if it actually is that, but it seems like that)
Hai! The problem (bug) is on reverting. Mostly reverting article edits goes smoothly, but sometimes it says I don't have the premissions. The problem is more frequent when I try to revert on images. It pretends to have reverted, but it doesn't! I can see the possibility of just being the cache problem, but then why would there be need for someone else reverting it aswell? It's been going on for quite a while, and I didn't want to bother you with it, thinking it would pass/be fixed overnight. But it didn't..! Any ideas? :3 ~Hakinu (talk 00:44, December 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * Edit: This is an example of my revert seeming to be registred (it's also registred in the |article history.), but if you look at |the file history, you see that it was ShounenSuki who reverted the image, a minute later than me, according to the article history :\ ~Hakinu (talk 00:51, December 26, 2009 (UTC)

That would require making separate pages for each chapter which would also still have to be manually updated. We probably won't have a lot of content on each of those chapter pages. I was thinking of including the chapter title as part of the semantic properties of the volume that it is in. Then do something like   Simant (talk) 03:13, January 3, 2010 (UTC)

Character infoboxes update
I'm not sure if there is a forum where I can bring this up, and I was told this was a change we were implementing. From what I can understand, we're making changes on how character infoboxes are handled. Among these changes, some things, such as loyalty, kekkei genkai and chakra natures are going to the infoboxes. However, it seems that once the chakra nature is removed from the ninja icon template, a character is no longer listed as having that nature. Any idea if it is a bug or something yet to be fixed?

Capitalisation of "Path"
Some time ago, you seem to have decided that the path in, for instance, Deva Path shouldn't be capitalised, as you didn't consider it a proper noun.

I would like to ask you to reconsider this decision. The names of the individual Paths of Pain are proper nouns. The path is an integral part of their names and should be treated as such, which includes capitalising them. It is the same reason why the emperor in the posthumous names of the emperors of Japan are capitalised as well. You cannot call the Meiji Emperor only. He is always the. The same goes for the Paths of Pain: you cannot call the Deva Path. He is always.

The path is an integral part of the name of the bodies and should be capitalised as such. --ShounenSuki (talk 20:44, January 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, path shouldn't just be capitalised indiscriminately. When on its own, used not as a proper noun, but as a descriptive noun, it should not be capitalised. For example, take the following sentences: "The Deva Path is one of the Six Paths of Pain. This path has the ability to control gravitational and repulsive forces."
 * Also, I am all for title case. I get annoyed every time I see the word arc without a capital A in (sub)titles... --ShounenSuki (talk 18:04, January 14, 2010 (UTC)

Your Input is Required
Dantman, would you be so kind as to give your input on the matter at hand in this conversation? It is about a matter we already discussed once before, but which ended in a not too desirable solution: the handling of the ANBU rank in character infoboxes. --ShounenSuki (talk 03:55, January 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * Dantman? *poke poke* --ShounenSuki (talk 13:09, January 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm not 100% sure what you mean by separate rows for Ranks of: "Ninja, ANBU, Samurai, etc." I was thinking that ANBU should be merged with Ninja, as for doing a query on ranks, we could try to find a way to set ANBU to a NULL value when being searched. For Samurai, there are no rank "subcategories," So it would be kinda weird to have a box with a title, Samurai Rank: Samurai. Simant (talk) 18:54, January 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * On a side note, almost done with conversion of characters just a few oddballs left. Teuchi and ayame have debuts that are databook, should that be moved to trivia and then put manga chapter? Unnamed ANBU Captain has multiple characters packed into one. And about 6 other characters like Shura have jutsu/tools that aren't created yet. Also, I feel kinda weird putting Awakened Hinata in a character infobox. Simant (talk) 18:02, January 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Also, i am slightly confused with what is going on with apostrophes in properties. Before they needed to be converted to their ascii code, but now they don't... was there an update? Simant (talk) 23:53, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

Spam/vandalism filters
Something is off with them. When I tried to undo several revisions that an IP made, which made Sasuke's page look quite outdated, through editing and saving an old revision (I couldn't rollback because someone else had edited the page), the filter kicked in and said that it picked up vandal things in the articles, namely obscene language and vulgarity. I found it odd and when I tried to save it, I'd end up in a loop page asking me if I was sure I wanted to save that edit. I had to copy and paste parts of an old revision, making about five edits to the page so I could restore it to its last good version. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 21:15, January 22, 2010 (UTC)

There is also the matter of this discussion. It seems to have died as well, although I think you could also simply call it finished. Should the Ē article remain as it is, or is it all right to move it to A? (The same goes for articles like Jei and Shī, of course)

SMW caching on Naruto
Hey Dantman!

I'm trying to locate the heaviest Semantic queries on Narutopedia in order to later convert them into Concepts, that can be cached properly. Currently Narutopedia is one of the heaviest hitters when it comes to consumed DB time, which should really not be the case. Plus, caching will make the wiki considerably faster.

If you could point me to any of the more complex queries on this wiki, I'd be much obliged.

Also planning to ask admins on community portal in a sec, but I'm sure you'd be the best man to help with this, so it would be great if you could chip in!

Some Protected pages need more information!
The Kakashi page, for example, in the infobox, he has five elements not four, the one not on the list is wind, for rasengan. By protecting it, you're preventing users from editing it!

Not enough edits
Hia. There's a problem with people's interpreting of the userpage policy's paragraph about no edits. SuperN (in particular, I can't say if others also do it) is tagging user pages with a deletion notice saying they don't have enough edits. When I've been looking at this, they do have edits, but they are all reverted for different reasons, by different people. So the question is if this counts as no edits or not. A recent example of this situation you find with User:Diabolik.kant. Looking forward to a clear-up :) ~Hakinu (talk 21:15, March 17, 2010 (UTC)

100 is too high, even 3 edits is good if the user has actually genuinely contributed to the wiki. Userpages are for users who are trying to improve the wiki, that's what the edits part is about. Count doesn't matter much, it's the content of the edits, if they're actually trying to improve an article it counts, compare that with the amount of edits they make on discussions that don't belong on the wiki, and personal things like their userpage...

Shelldone is on the border, he is contributing, but it should be noted to him that he shouldn't be responding to month old talkpage comments.

Diablik.kant, is hard to say on... He's made 2 or 3 contributions, however his level of literacy is a real problem to the wiki, and comments like this are real issues for the personality of a contributor. Looking over todays edits alone, he's done nothing but make talkpage posts that don't belong on the wiki (and todays edits are a significant portion of his edits).

So it looks like Shelldone has potential to be a good contributor to the wiki, and his userpage is fine. I don't know about Diablik.kant's userpage, however he himself is nothing but a catalyst for trouble, his personality is very close to the kinds of users that forced us to come up with these policies in the first place. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Mar 17, 2010 @ 22:07 (UTC)

Doujtsu and Fuin jutsu Add-ons.
Hello, I was wondering. I added very important aspects to both Dojutsu and Fuinjutsu on both disscusion pages of doujutsu and fuinjutsu. If you could look them over and add them in that would be great, thanks.

Clash of Rivals Wiki, tips, help, etc.
I made a wiki specifically for a Naruto Fanfiction series I wrote. Stop right there. This isn't going to be some "omg 1 luv teh n@RUT0" Stuff. No, this is asking if you'd be willing to give me a few tips, help etc. The reason is, I have little experience with making a wiki from the ground up. I'm more of the type of person who edits wikis, not makes them entirely. Plus, I only have one person helping me (and even he is doing so casually, when he feels like it) I've noticed that I may've done something wrong with the Categories and was wondering if you could look at it, and help me out, because I'd like my wiki to be as professsional looking and well organized as Naruto wiki, so I figured, who better to turn to than you! (I'm one of the admins at the Abridged Series wiki and have a ton of dif stuff I'm doing at once so if my reply to your reply is delayed, forgive me) If you can help me out at all, I'd appreciate it alot.--Chipmonk328

Check for missing CSS on my wiki (please)
Hello Dantman (i don't know how much you long online),
 * Can you check my wiki to see if I got any missing CSS? w:c:shadowrain Because me and another admin can't figure out what is missing. The infoboxes aren't coming up. Or if anybody understand CSS and the Animanga Infoboxes, can you help me and the other admin out?!? I hope to hear form you real soon! --KiumaruHamachi (talk) 17:07, May 6, 2010 (UTC) KiumaruHamachi

Lightbox
Do you got any idea how to make this work?  - S im A nt 20:16, May 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * I was thinking it would be nice to have a little search icon next to jutsu/characters/etc, that referenced the Property:Picture and displayed a "preview." From what i can see of how lightbox works, it wouldn't load with the page, only after clicked. That code is modified from what I saw when i viewed the source of stuff around a thumbnail that had lightbox working with it, so i figured it's just a link around the image, why can't we put the link around a different image. - S im A nt 13:40, May 7, 2010 (UTC)

You can't have a userpage!
Hello Dantman! I came to this wiki because I like Naruto! But, you can't have a userpage?! Thats atrocious! I'm sorry but, a userpage is used so users can express themselves! I don't quite get the policy, as users who have as many edits as you do, don't have pages. There are alot of red links and that boils me. Please hear me out and maybe end this policy! --Auror. plus the great Andrachome (talk) 07:17, May 27, 2010 (UTC)

Emergency
The Naruto Wiki was hacked and many Bureaucrats are gone. We need you to promote an Administrator to Bureaucrat status or promote the users who got demoted by the hacker.Saimaroimaru (talk) 02:05, May 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Really? Are you sure?--TheUltimate3 (talk) 02:07, May 28, 2010 (UTC)

Yes Seireitou a head admin was hacked by angry hacker.He demoted all the mods well the active ones which cause the wiki staff to lock sei's account. The hacker has been dealed with but we have no one to restore the adminsitration. Ten is gone for personal reasons and lavi is rarely on like many once a few weeks. Hmm Sei said he wanted Saimaroimaru(yes me i become a mod eventually) and Takeshi57 to be head admins. If you want proof heres a link to the fanon chat.http://narutofanon.chatango.com/Saimaroimaru (talk) 02:14, May 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * I think he means the naruto fanon wiki... - S im A nt 02:28, May 28, 2010 (UTC)

I do mean the fanon wiki, Dantman is list as one of it bureaucrats.Saimaroimaru (talk) 02:31, May 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Promote who? Just about everyone has already had their permissions restored. Dubtiger appears to be LaviBookman, Itachisharkak has been inactive, and Takeshi57 was promoted, demoted, and then promoted and demoted within the same month by the same person. I'm not touching either of the latter, or giving out bureaucrat flags without community consensus on the wiki. And I don't take questionable external chat systems for verification of anything. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) May 28, 2010 @ 07:20 (UTC)

LAvi took care of it Tak and Me are co-head admins.Nice to know your were of no help.Saimaroimaru (talk) 14:35, May 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * I have no obligation to help with something that cannot be confirmed as accepted by the community when I am not an active administrator on the wiki, however I DO have an obligation to not make use of my permission flags when something smells fishy. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) May 30, 2010 @ 18:15 (UTC)

Doesn't matter anymore what you or Naruto wiki thinks anymore, Lavi took care of it. Nice to know you've abandoned it.Saimaroimaru (talk) 18:05, May 31, 2010 (UTC)


 * If it means anything, based on what he said, it was in the best interest of Dantman, and everyone for that matter to not go promoting people all willy-nilly without documented reason to. It'll be like me returning to the Bleach Wiki with my admin power and just demoting the entire staff and promoting a bunch of randoms.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 18:27, May 31, 2010 (UTC)

Well Lavi fixed the situation. End of Discussion. Have a good day.Saimaroimaru (talk) 18:34, May 31, 2010 (UTC)

WHY DUDE
Why did you delete my talk page, what did i do?

Change of Format
I believe that this wiki should be written as an in universe wiki meaning that we treat the story as if it actually happened and never refer to a character as a character rather if they existed in real life. Crimsonterminator1000 (talk) 00:51, June 7, 2010 (UTC)

Concepts
Seems to me like some pages are getting skipped on the job queue (maybe during server maintenance or something...), and never getting put back on; This could be the reason that certain pages duplicates never get fixed after months. Also, is Concept:Characters suppose to be sorted like that, is that a result of defaultsort on those pages? - S im A nt 18:01, June 7, 2010 (UTC)

Assistance with Infobox
Hello Dantman, I am Seireitou. You might know me from a few of the fanon and fanfiction wikias, like Naruto Fanon and Bleach Fan Fiction. Anyways, I have been getting to work on Fullmetal Alchemist Fanon and I could really use the infoboxes you use here. I am having trouble, and I hope you might be able to assist him in establishing the infoboxes. The link to my wikia is: http://fullmetalalchemistfanfiction.wikia.com/wiki/Fullmetal_Alchemist_Fanon_Wiki

I would really be grateful for the help. Thanks again. --Seireitou-shishō (瀞霊冬川平) 03:47, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

Abuse Filter
Do you think there is a way to use it to prevent people to change the language in the articles, like this. I has become a quite popular trend. Jacce | Talk | Contributions 15:39, July 3, 2010 (UTC)

I don't recall seeing a logged in user doing that. Jacce | Talk | Contributions 07:14, July 4, 2010 (UTC)

Could you also add something to prevent this type of edits. It has been done by both IP and users. Jacce | Talk | Contributions 06:56, July 16, 2010 (UTC)

I'm new to this but...
But I'm trying to get the hang of it and have posted some quality images which illustrate exactly what the text is talking about just to turn around and have someone come behind me and delete them. WTF? I'm trying to help make this wiki better and if I'm doing something wrong, you should tell me what I'm doing wrong so I can change it because just to go back and see my work gone pisses me off and really makes me not want to contribute anything.--Mikhal Martin (talk) 03:47, July 4, 2010 (UTC)

Blocking
Since I have little idea what a range block is, maybe you can help me. For the past month an anon has been adding made-up stats to a variety of character infoboxes. Blocking an individual address works until the anon's next visit, at which time they have a new, usually very different address. I've left a couple discourteous messages on talk pages, but they're not accomplishing anything. Do you see any particular connection between and subsequent solution to: These are just addresses used to edit Infobox:Guren. If you look at each addresses' contributions and the histories of other pages they have edited, you'll likely find addresses I haven't listed.

User:Omnibender has suggested semi-protecting every character infobox. I think that would be impractical unless it's possible to just protect a namespace, and I otherwise plain dislike the idea. So, can you provide any help? ~SnapperTo 07:18, July 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * So, out of curiosity, is it possible to protect a namespace, or does any sort of protection need to be done individually? ~SnapperTo 22:10, July 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * Them's quick results. Thank yous to yourself and staff. ~SnapperTo 02:31, July 20, 2010 (UTC)

Properties
I had to fix a minor bug with the manga debut property and it unset the rest of them. I have also been wanting to change the property type of Property:Appears in to string, but that would "break" a lot of stuff until the properties were repopulated. Also, those duplicates in the concepts still aren't going away... Is it possible for you to run that smw data rebuilding thing? Thanks. S im A nt 20:37, July 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay... so you did it? Because I don't have the permissions to do it. S im A nt 00:40, July 25, 2010 (UTC)

Administraitors
Can you ever become a Administraitor on Narutopedia? How can you become one. Are there any Goals you must reach first EXAMPLE: you must have a edit count of over 1000 to become a Administraitor or, can I NEVER EVER become a Administraitor on Narutopedia. Desai1234 (talk) 01:42, July 28, 2010 (UTC)

Administration is not a game, worthless things like edit counts are never a factor in who gets flags. Administrator is a misleading term, we have sysops, our "admins" are just users, part of the community that have demonstrated strong understanding of the wiki's polices, a good tie to the community, and a flag was given to them when it was apparent that giving them those permissions would improve the state of the wiki... A good sysop doesn't even show a desire to be one before they get the flag. 98% of the time the users who ask what it takes to be an admin are the opposite of the people that get the flag. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Jul 28, 2010 @ 03:31 (UTC) 03:31, July 28, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. I am not like the others, I am going to be a big help to this wiki, whether I'm a admin or not. I love the Anime Naruto and Naruto Shippūden and I want to help others learn more about it. I just want to help Desai1234 (talk) 04:05, July 28, 2010 (UTC)

How
Everytime I leave a answer on a article's talkpage, my question is usually answered within a hour. Even if its a talk page that nobody goes on. Is there a page where it lists the messages left on talkpages? like for images -> (http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Special:ListFiles) Desai1234 (talk) 08:03, July 28, 2010 (UTC)

Well there are two things to keep in mind. First thing, talkpages are just articles, so every edit you make to one shows up in Special:RecentChanges which is regularly watched by a lot of users. Besides that our community portal also lists the 10 most recently updated talkpages and forum topics. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Jul 28, 2010 @ 09:34 (UTC) 09:34, July 28, 2010 (UTC)

Section Transclusion
I've been trying to transclude section headings based on the transclude section documentation, but doesn't seem to work. I noticed it uses the #section tag, is that part of Labeled Section Transclusion, but because #lsth/#section-h (which is in that template) doesn't even run so i'm guessing it's not (fully?) installed/updated.
