Wikipedia:DELSORT/ANIME listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Wikipedia:DELSORT/ANIME. Since you had some involvement with the Wikipedia:DELSORT/ANIME redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion (if you have not already done so). Bridgeplayer (talk) 00:15, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

In fact it's in the 30 June log Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2010_June_30#Wikipedia:DELSORT.2FANIME --KrebMarkt 06:48, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for spotting this; curious that! Bridgeplayer (talk) 16:16, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads-up; I've commented there. =) 「ダイノガイ千？！」^{? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000} 17:03, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Request userfy

Hi,

I want an userfied copy of GE – Good Ending that was deleted after this AfD. Can you put it here. Thanks a lot. --KrebMarkt (talk) 13:16, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

Y Done. =) 「ダイノガイ千？！」^{? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000} 05:31, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

I came here to thank you for this edit. And a belated happy birthday from me. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 15:39, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

No problem, and thanks. =) I was actually wondering if those links shouldn't simply be combined into one which defaults to leaving no redirect, and if the provided edit summary ("moving editnotice of moved page") shouldn't be changed somehow. Thoughts? 「ダイノガイ千？！」^{? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000} 00:02, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

Yes, good idea to combine the links. I just did a test and the LeaveRedirect=0 is just ignored for non-admins, so that would work fine. The edit summary seems clear enough to me. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 08:22, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Combined. I wasn't 100% sure what to do with the last sentence, but went ahead and just removed it. 「ダイノガイ千？！」^{? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000} 16:55, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Looks good to me. By the way, glad to see you contributing a bit more actively again! — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 21:44, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

I'm not doing so intentionally; I've been working over at the Yu-Gi-Oh! Wikia, and in the course of borrowing from Wikipedia, have been addressing some things over here that I notice. I'm actually about to make a mass RFD nomination concerning redirects to {{Documentation subpage}} with the aim of helping template re-users. 「ダイノガイ千？！」^{? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000} 22:03, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

Excellent idea. Leave {{doc subpage}} please (I use that one!) — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 22:07, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

I wasn't going to do anything until I'd finished investigating each redirect; I've been caught up in all the history surrounding Wikipedia:WikiProject template sharing for the past couple hours (good intentions gone bad can quite easily look worse than even the worst vandalism!). 「ダイノガイ千？！」^{? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000} 22:09, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

Nominated; see Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2010 August 13#Template:Doc discussion. Now to tag all those redirects... 「ダイノガイ千？！」^{? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000} 22:42, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

Cyborg 009 and Kikaider series

just wondering how the chapters were going. you think they are notable enough to have their own article?Bread Ninja (talk) 07:58, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

I stopped work on the list once I exhausted Tokyopop's published volumes (they published 10 volumes, but I don't know how many of the original Japanese volumes they cover), but Cyborg 009 itself is definitely a notable series, so per WP:SPINOUT (which we use to cover all of our chapter/episode lists, as long as the main series is notable), a separate chapter list would be fine. Just in case you missed/forgot it, by the way, the chapter list I was working on is at User:Dinoguy1000/Chapter lists#Cyborg 009; if you use that as a base for a full chapter list, please drop me a note saying so. =) 「ダイノガイ千？！」^{? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000} 00:10, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

I was thinking about a few things. Such as maybe adding a wikitable for the voice actors of Cyborg 009 since it seems to have a variety of them. I still need to work on ANdroid Kikaider, but it's really difficult because i dont know where to find reliable sources for the tokusatsu series. I was wondering if you knew.Bread Ninja (talk) 18:32, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

You may want to ask at the project about the voice actors; that's not my purview. I'm also just as clueless as you are for good sources for tokusatsu. 「ダイノガイ千？！」^{? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000} 00:10, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

Apparently there are no more english volumes of Cyborg 009 after vol.10. the series can obviously be notable, but it would be probably be more difficult to find the first original anime and it's remake. Most likely the second remake will be easier. And also have to figure out if the first anime, anime remake and second anime remake all have a consistent episode list. For now, i will fix the structure. the only thing i wont do is remove the voice cast, but other than that i will reformat the article in a better prose and summarized the character section.

As for Android Kikaider, i will find someone who is can find notable sources and improve the article. But luckily there is Android Kikaider (anime). I'm sure this would be easy to find too.Bread Ninja (talk) 07:44, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

Correct, Tokyopop dropped the series after volume 10, though I'm not sure why (probably just not selling enough for their taste or something, though). Good luck; that article needs a lot of work. =) 「ダイノガイ千？！」^{? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000} 00:01, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

Your comment on Template:Pokemon

Some articles are in the evo lines like Abra, Kadabra, and Alakazam and Koffing and Weezing because their reception fits all of them. It covers the whole line, and makes them notable as a whole. Articles such as Charmander, Charmeleon, and Charizard are kept apart because their reception has to do with them as individual, and they would probably be difficult to merge, and would break Charizard's GA. _Blake ^{(Talk·Edits)} 13:49, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

This user is retired.Bread Ninja (talk) 13:53, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

If you look at his contributions you will see he has made edits. Being retired doesn't mean you fall of the face of the earth. You just don't edit as much. Dino made a comment in an edit summary, and I was replying to it. _Blake ^{(Talk·Edits)} 15:49, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

i would agree, with semi retired. But retired would be even less than what you're suggesting. Such as one or two edits a month if not more.Bread Ninja (talk) 16:00, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

This doesn't matter. The fact is, TODAY he made an edit. I was replying to his edit. Being retired doesn't mean its against the rules to contact them or anything. If you were trying to tell me that he might not reply to this for a while because he is retired, anybody can see from the top of the page that he is retired. You don't need to repeat it. _Blake ^{(Talk·Edits)} 17:00, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

@Bread Ninja: Calm down, I may be retired, but I still check my talk page here roughly weekly... =)

@Bws2cool: Yep, I knew that some of the evo lines were already treated in one article, and of course I'm not suggesting to start blindly merging/expanding individual species articles to cover the whole evo line. Think of it more as me wondering if the feasibility of this was ever discussed, or if any specific proposals were ever made (and if not, then also as a spark for such discussion). ;) 「ダイノガイ千？！」^{? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000} 18:16, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

User:Templarion

Just got a request from User:Templarion asking to unprotect her userpage, as she is "not dead yet". I see you protected it per WP:DWG. Just a bit curious as to what's going on here... — GorillaWarfare ^talk 07:02, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

It's been quite a while since I did that, but as I recall, I looked around as much as I could when I came across the note on her user talk page and couldn't find any evidence that she wasn't deceased (something I'm quite happy to hear, regardless of the fact I never worked with her prior to her on-wiki disappearance...). I'll head over and apologise. =) 「ダイノガイ千？！」^{? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000} 18:44, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

Regarding syntaxhighlight in CSS files

To answer your question in your edit summaries; the tags are only there to ensure proper formatting during preview of those pages while editing. — Edokter • Talk • 01:07, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

Aah, makes sense. Please tell me there's a bug report for that? 「ダイノガイ千？！」^{? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000} 01:08, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, not that I know of. There probably is. — Edokter • Talk • 01:19, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

All right, I may look for one (and file it myself if I don't find any). 「ダイノガイ千？！」^{? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000} 02:59, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

bugzilla:10871 =D 「ダイノガイ千？！」^{? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000} 03:03, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

See also bugzilla:4801#c6 (which is currently reopened). Helder 18:21, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

Previewing scripts/styles will actually load them so that you're truly previewing the styles or script you changed. So I don't think there's a bug report for that. 93.104.42.42 (talk) 02:24, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

Doing some quick testing, it doesn't look like that works for CSS/JS in MediaWiki skin files. Even if it did, though, the original markup should still be reproduced above (or below, depending on your preferences) the edit box on preview, and when the SyntaxHighlight extension is installed, that output should be automatically styled without the need for explicit <syntaxhighlight>/<source> tags around the whole thing. 「ダイノガイ千？！」^{? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000} 02:59, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

This was requested on Bug 27397. Helder 15:07, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

Yep; I've been watching it for a while now. =) 「ダイノガイ千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 22:37, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

Template:Deltab

User scripts should be in user .js subpages. Anyone can edit {{deltab}} at the moment, which could result in maliciousness for those users who inadvertently subst: a malicious script. Since you're the most recently active contributor (although "retired"), do you want to take the "official" copy into your userspace? (By the way, I always interpret "retired" as "gone forever". I commend you for continuing to check your talk page in your retirement!) — This, that, and the other (talk) 09:47, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

Not sure if that is possible, considering that it is a template after all. I would recommend asking for page protection per Wikipedia:High-risk templates. G.A.S^talk 11:41, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

It would be better for someone to create (and maintain!) a script version of DelTab which is customizable in the same way Twinkle and Friendly's tagging system is, which would remove the need for people to subst: a copy of deltab into their .js file. I was looking to work on such a version back when I was still actively working on DelTab and delsort.js, but quickly found myself in over my head. =P (on that note, I'd like to see what a jQuery-based version of delsort.js would look like...) 「ダイノガイ千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 17:11, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

On Wikipe-tan and deletion

For those of you who were arguing to delete Wikipedia:Wikipe-tan because of some variant of the idea that we shouldn't be documenting Wikipedia's "darker" moments, I invite you to look at the mainspace articles covering the Seigenthaler incident and the Essjay controversy (oh, and there's the whole Criticism of Wikipedia thing, too).

Twinkle and delsort

Hey, Dinoguy. I see that you are mostly-retired now, but I was wondering about your delsort scripts. I remember that you were working on integrating deletion sorting into Twinkle, but I don't think anything ever came of it. I personally don't know anything about JS, but I do know that they are re-writing a Twinkle/friendly hybrid from scratch for MW 1.17. If you do have any scripts that might help integrate delsort into the new Twinkle, even if you aren't going to be around, WP would be very appreciative. Thanks! ▫ JohnnyMrNinja 07:37, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

Hey JohnnyMrNinja, as you said, I never really got anywhere on integration with Twinkle, but all my work is still accessible at User:Dinoguy1000/scripts/amdelsort.js and User:Dinoguy1000/scripts/delsort.js (the more tested of the two), and I made a point of trying to keep the original {{Deltab}} up-to-date with my improvements, too. I don't think it'd be that hard for someone with knowledge of JS and an understanding of the rewrite going on to take that work and run with it. Cheers! =) 「ダイノガイ千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 12:43, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

Note that, in particular, though, I never updated these scripts to work with and take advantage of jQuery, so that still needs to be done. 「ダイノガイ千？！」^{? · ☎ Dinoguy1000} 12:46, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

OK, thanks! ▫ JohnnyMrNinja 14:47, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

Your recent edit of wikipe-tan seems to have upset another editor Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Scouting#Wikipedia:Wikipe-tan, just thought I would let you know so you could have a say in it. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 14:43, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
