Races
Geist and Entity are seperate in the context of the games used, with Geist being the newer of the two. Please don't merge the pages. Great Mara 08:18, July 19, 2010 (UTC)

About Irei, Entity, and Geist
Bleurfin responded with this:

Hmm that's really confusing. I was close to suggesting that Irei and Entity be redirected to Geist. If the versions are different, then they should have an article each, or they could be a disambig? BLUER一番 12:50, July 19, 2010 (UTC)

And about colors for tables for Soul Hackers I was thinking, #5000AA, since it's kind of a purple/blue mix like the Soul Hackers cover they have on it's info page.

About Harut and Maroth/Maruts page
Harut and Maroth are seperate demons to Maruts. Maruts is a Hindu god, but Harut and Maroth (also known as Marut) are angels in Islamic lore. See here:. --Pinkgriffon 09:04, July 24, 2010 (UTC)

About Templates
I've been trying to fix the templates built like the Nocturne/Persona 3/Persona 4 templates to no effect whatsoever. Ever since the major Wikia update the cells with no info in them won't stay hidden. Any ideas? I tried looking through the links you provided to Coco and couldn't really understand any of it. Great Mara 02:06, April 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * Um... which templates in question? -- Inpursuit 02:12, April 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * Sorry, the stat templates, Template:SMTNstats, Template:P3stats, and Template:P4 stats. You can see somewhat what I mean in the stats section of the Legion page. Empty cells won't stay hidden. Great Mara 06:35, April 27, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Move page
Isn't it just called rename instead of move? --Cococrash11 03:33, May 19, 2011 (UTC)

Stat templates
Ideally yes, the idea was to phase out the skills section in articles ever since the stats templates had skill slots added. It takes a lot of time however and trying to make sure the skill descriptions all match up between pages. I was trying to focus on Stange Journey right now but I dunno. 9mm Pistol.png 02:25, June 28, 2011 (UTC)

Re:Request for modifying common.css
I agree on the effect of dark text on bright bg being much more easier on the eyes than vice versa. Would you like to suggest to me a specific color code so we can test this out? IMO, the wiki should maintain a different feel than the FFWiki, i.e. a more sombre or darker theme than FFWiki's bright and hopeful colors. Thanks  BLUER   一番   12:19, August 19, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Takejizaiten
If you can get a History together for the demon that isn't copy and pasted somewhere then go ahead. But just having the information without any information on the demon is really out of place. Message 01:49, May 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * That's fine. As long as the demon is included and it isn't a direct copy and paste from another website like wikipedia or mythology site it isn't a problem. UserGreatMara.pngge 02:01, May 11, 2012 (UTC)

Mediawiki
While I would like to try that out, I have absolutely no idea how to work with MediaWiki. Also, it looks like there's quite a bit more in ours than FF Wiki's so I don't know whether changing anything would have adverse effects on the wiki. Message 21:15, May 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * It shouldn't. -- Zahlzeit 21:34, May 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * And what would I be replacing on our wiki? All of the 'Infobox Template Style' with their 'Table Code' or would I just be adding the Table Code to the Css page? UserGreatMara.pngge 21:53, May 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * I didn't think you had to replace anything. Just add class codes and then make table templates that incorporate them, similar to the gallery templates we have on the P3/P4 pages now. -- Zahlzeit 22:32, May 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * Wikia.css only affects the local wiki style, it has not effect on other wiki. jfyi. And it only takes effect when you add "class=XXX" in the html/wiki element to call for the specific styling. -- Inpursuit (talk) 22:44, May 14, 2012 (UTC)

I put the Table Code segment from FF Wiki into our MediaWiki, but to be honest I have no idea if it will work at all. Message 18:39, May 15, 2012 (UTC)


 * What on Earth is all that? @_@ Also, Otherarrow and myself are only Admins, Bluer is the only Bureaucrat and the only one that can give admin rights. UserGreatMara.pngge 22:56, May 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * Where did you put the code? Link me. -- Zahlzeit 23:53, May 15, 2012 (UTC)

I put the Table Code into the MediaWiki:Wikia.css but I don't even know where to start dealing with things like the FF Wiki's Common.css and trying to mimic them on ours. Message 01:05, May 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * I see. But like I said before, I literally can't give anyone admin rights. The most I can promote anyone to would be a chat moderator and no one uses the chat feature here. Bluerfn is the only one that can bestow admin rights on this wiki. UserGreatMara.pngge 02:05, May 16, 2012 (UTC)

Character Infobox Alignment
It was align right for a reason but now it looks much better. Good job. -- Zahlzeit 14:48, May 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * Well it doesn't really matter now because your change made the infobox not look as shitty as before. HOWEVER I'd love if the ":"s stayed because the text that precedes it aren't in boxes or anything, unless you would like to make it that way too. -- Zahlzeit 14:51, May 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * Yeah but we aren't Wikipedia, that is to say we have some autonomy in what we can do. Also unlike Wikipedia, the text in the infoboxes is kind of hard to distinguish like in here so the colons help. If we don't use it, which is a fine format too, then I'd love if we encased the preceding text into boxes like in the Catherine Wiki.
 * Actually in general we might want to restyle our infoboxes in a lot of ways using ideas from other wikis. Our current ones are kind of bad. -- Zahlzeit 15:00, May 24, 2012 (UTC)
 * A little better, but the left cell might as well be align left and be the same color as the series color while the font becomes a contrasting color, in this case being black. -- Zahlzeit 15:04, May 24, 2012 (UTC)
 * Even better, but I mean the whole cell align left so the left cell hits the left border of the infobox. It should be something similar to the Final Fantasy Wiki's infoboxes. Maybe a border should be added too. -- Zahlzeit 15:13, May 24, 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh really? So this is as left as we can get it without removing the spacing on the outer borders? Wow we took a step back in terms of aesthetics in my opinion.. I don't really know what to say. -- Zahlzeit 15:14, May 24, 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh this is much better. Can you round the edges so it matches the name space at the very top? I think that would top things off nicely. Also I noticed for some reason the value for "First Appearance" isn't in the center of the box, and instead at the top like in here. -- Zahlzeit 15:17, May 24, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yet again, better. Great job. Maybe the text in the now rounded cells should be centered, while the values should be more off to the right by 4+ pixels or so. -- Zahlzeit 15:28, May 24, 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh no, I mean the actual rounded boxes should be left, but the text actually might look better center within the left aligned boxes. If that's exactly what you meant then alright, I'll take your word for it.
 * And for the ~4 px I mean add that to the spacing between the left and right cells but if, again, that is what you meant then can't even one additional pixel be done? If not alright. I just thought it looked kind of scrunched up is all. -- Zahlzeit 15:34, May 24, 2012 (UTC)
 * Alright, fair enough then. And the text is going to stay left aligned? So this is the final product for now? -- Zahlzeit 15:48, May 24, 2012 (UTC)
 * For strict grammar accuracy, right? Hmm, I don't know actually. I think aesthetics wise it looks better. -- Zahlzeit 15:53, May 24, 2012 (UTC)

I think the label text should stay bolded though. As for the capitalization issue, I think it's worth polling about it. -- Zahlzeit 16:01, May 24, 2012 (UTC)
 * But, it isn't. -- Zahlzeit 16:07, May 24, 2012 (UTC)

Capitalization
Alright so the people have spoken. Make everything in capitals except for the AKA labels should be "Also known as..." where it applies. I already edited the Persona series templates so use that as a guide if you have to. -- Zahlzeit 03:15, May 25, 2012 (UTC)

Check the poll on the front page unless you want to wait or start a forum discussion. Either way I don't think the opinion will change on this, to be honest. -- Zahlzeit 03:19, May 25, 2012 (UTC)

Do you at least have a reason why or is this literally just because it's Wikipedia? -- Zahlzeit 03:24, May 25, 2012 (UTC)

Oh so you're thinking what I think you're thinking. I really don't know, doubting myself again. I'm torn on this one. I think I'll sleep on it and decide then but if I go all capitals anyway then I'll just do it without your help, no worries. Thanks for your help. -- Zahlzeit 03:35, May 25, 2012 (UTC)

Romanji
No need to add it. I just put it in italics and parenthesis. -- Zahlzeit 04:36, May 25, 2012 (UTC)

I guess? The problem I have with this is that the entire infobox tends to be unnecessarily huge. -- Zahlzeit 04:40, May 25, 2012 (UTC)

Hover Text
Alright, so you are free to keep the Romaji section in but if you are going to do hover text, only do it over "Revelations" because the current hover text doesn't extend over in definition to apply to "Name". -- Zahlzeit 04:48, May 25, 2012 (UTC)

Editting the Template
Sorry. Since no one volunteered to edit the P2 template like I asked I'm doing it and I usually need to play around with it until I'm satisfied so don't bother to edit it because it'll just be swept away. -- Zahlzeit 03:43, June 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * I mean right now anyway. Sorry again. -- Zahlzeit 03:48, June 11, 2012 (UTC)

If you have time, I want you to change something on the template. There's a reason why I had that zany "Type1", "Description1", etc. business for the Summoning Prerequisites section because sometimes there are other kinds of prerequisites for summoning. Could you bring those back, each on their own row? I think we'd only need five in total. Also are Material Cards and Tarot Cards supposed to be on the same row? I wasn't sure. -- Zahlzeit 17:44, June 11, 2012 (UTC)

Bots
You mentioned that we could ask for the assistance of bots to fix stuff on the wiki right? How would one go about doing that? I'm planning on asking them to remove all -moz- and replacing all instances of "Persona 3: FES" with "Persona 3 FES" and other stuff. -- Zahlzeit 20:03, July 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh all of what you said is troublesome, but makes sense anyway. Also isn't operating a bot simply writing a script? -- Zahlzeit 07:26, July 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * augggghhh forget that then. So discussion then we can ask for a bot that will do what we want? -- Zahlzeit 16:14, July 6, 2012 (UTC)

Pictures as the backgrounds for templates
Can you make heads or tails out of this at all? It would be immensely useful to employ on this wiki. « Zahlzeit 05:41, July 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * I just made a quick glance but does this actually allow you to use a picture as a background of a template, like say the character templates? Like for example, our current P2 ones are all purple but I'd like to replace that with the red "checkered" design of the portable versions using an image. « 1099769-p2ep tarot 16.png Zahlzeit 07:58, July 15, 2012 (UTC)

Imbalance?
What's so 'imbalanced' about it? Those Personas are noteworthy for belonging to specific characters, and that's how a lot of people will know them. I don't understand why you undid most of those edits when they make perfect sense. Cixer (talk) 00:42, September 24, 2012 (UTC)

Re: Spaces for section header
What's the difference with spaces for section header? It looks the same with or without the spaces. --Cococrash11 (talk) 21:29, March 17, 2013 (UTC)

Chojin/Ubergeist
Is the Ubergeist race named Chojin in the Japanese version of Strange Journey?--63.249.110.97 02:04, April 3, 2013 (UTC)
 * Of course. -- Inpursuit (talk) 02:05, April 3, 2013 (UTC)

Any ideas about the nature of demons?
In the MegaTen series, demons refers to simply spiritual/supernatural beings. But what describes their general being or essential nature? What is demonic? It's something I'm trying to answer lately. I've got a talk page topic about it.

http://megamitensei.wikia.com/wiki/Talk:Demon

Do you have any idea? GalaxiaWild (talk) 22:34, April 6, 2013 (UTC)

Categories.
When you want to change or "move" a category, be sure to go back and change it everywhere the category appears. You changed "Aeria Species" to Aerials...and then didn't change it anywhere else or even make the new category. See the problem here? Be sure to keep this in mind for next time.--Otherarrow (talk) 04:24, April 12, 2013 (UTC)
 * OK, now I learn that you didn't properly change any of the species categories you altered. You just changed it on the one page and expected the wiki to magically change the rest for you. Why did you change it anyway? I can get some cases where there are out and out wrong names (such as Aeria/Aerial) but "Beast Species" to "Beasts" is, well, I'll be honest, a worse change, as the category is no longer clear on what it is. I'm changing these back. Geez. You didn't think this through at all.--Otherarrow (talk) 04:27, April 12, 2013 (UTC)
 * I want to get rid of that race/species from the category name because there are so many duplicated race categories has been created, for example, category:Deity Race and category:Majin Clan. But it turned out to be too cumbersome to be all done by hand. It would be better to apply bot, but it requires admin privilege, and I'm not any sysops. -- Inpursuit (talk) 04:33, April 12, 2013 (UTC)
 * We need Race and Species because, well, sometimes a Race name is also a Species name, such as Dragon the Race and Dragon the Species. It describes that the category is actually used for. The "Japanese Name Clan" thing just needs to be deleted/replaced outright though, but I feel that doesn't relate to the "Race and Species" thing. Just that whoever set up these categories didn't do so very well.--Otherarrow (talk) 04:51, April 12, 2013 (UTC)
 * You may make request of bot operation on Wikia Community. I can't be involved in that thing cause I'm no sysops. -- Inpursuit (talk) 05:05, April 12, 2013 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. You get me on the Race and Species thing though, right? Just making sure we are on the same page.--Otherarrow (talk) 05:13, April 12, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Removal
I've removed the text you indicated. Can you please verify that things are working correctly? Great Mara (talk) 05:32, April 24, 2013 (UTC)
 * Okay. That's done. Was it only the tr, td section that needed the #222222? Great Mara (talk) 05:52, April 24, 2013 (UTC)

To clarify, I should copy everything from /* Table code */ down including colors in MediaWiki:wikia.css and use it to replace everything in MediaWiki:monobook.css from /** customized table style **/ on down? Or /** wikitable **/ on down? Great Mara (talk) 19:17, April 29, 2013 (UTC)
 * That's done. Let me know if there are problems, please. Great Mara (talk) 15:54, April 30, 2013 (UTC)

Pointless div on DSV2 navitemplate
For some reason, without the pointless div, the title header for the navigation template isn't center-aligned. Is there anyway to make it work aside from having the pointless div?  BLUER   一番   04:53, May 21, 2013 (UTC)

Customtable color coding
The colors for some tables are showing up in weird colors on the wiki and I was wondering if you could take a look at the codes and see if anything is wrong. On my sandbox the Strange Journey table showing up as a pale green color but in the visual side of the oasis editor it is showing up as the correct shade of blue. Great Mara (talk) 06:29, May 22, 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't think that worked or I just did something wrong. I added:

/*LEAVE THIS IMPORT ABOVE EVERYTHING ELSE*/ @import url("http://megamitensei.wikia.com/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Common.css&usemsgcache=yes&ctype=text/css&smaxage=86400&action=raw&maxage=86400");

To the top of the Wikia.css and all the templates on the wiki went to blackish-gray with a lighter gray border. I undid it but I'm still waiting for it to take on my browser. Great Mara (talk) 07:04, May 22, 2013 (UTC)

Gallery box
Could you help us with something? I've been trying to get rid of the white spaces like in Category:Persona_4_Arena_Images in image galleries for the categoryspace for so long, but I can't seem to find where it should be changed. I'd like the color to be of the darker shade like in the image gallery box.  BLUER   一番   14:37, May 22, 2013 (UTC)
 * I forgot to mention that it's in the Monobook skin.  BLUER   一番   15:10, May 22, 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't have right to test around the css code, but after checking with Firefox' "inspect element", I would advice you to remove all  definitions from MediaWiki:Monobook.css. Also remember that the definition of   is duplicated in MediaWiki:Common.css which you should move the other   definitions upper and remove the lower duplication of  . -- Inpursuit (talk)  15:39, May 22, 2013 (UTC)
