We Need a New Layout!
Since we are currently in the Animanga Wiki Spotlight for this month, we should spruce up the Wiki's CSS so that it looks relevant to the content. What do you think? I need some ideas too. Herald of meridian 08:37, April 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah totally, we should get rid of that Index stretching image and replace it with the Toaru Majutsu no Index logo, and the overall color scheme should at least be light bluish to complement the logo, just my 2 cents.---TheGreatEye 10:09, April 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'll be working on it and it will be available by tomorrow GMT+8. It can be subject to change if deemed necessary or if we need to add Railgun in it too. Herald of meridian 13:22, April 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * Copy the css for the sky theme and add it to MediaWiki:Monaco.css. Remove the "@group Main Page" section before you save it. Also need a favicon.--Sxerks 17:06, April 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * The new logo is up! I'll also open it for further discussion (like what you want to change or other suggestions). Herald of meridian 01:43, April 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * At the moment I don't see a change in the skin even though it has been changed, I've cleared my cache but it looks like the default sapphire skin to me, maybe there is a Wikia cache problem.--Sxerks 16:24, April 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * I haven't changed anything in the Monaco.css. :P I'm running out of ideas on how to change the layout (color schemes, etc.) and the only thing I've changed is the title of the Wiki in the main page (Toaru Universe Wiki) and the logo. The logo and the CSS should be discussed first. Herald of meridian 02:22, April 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * But you changed it yesterday, you add the sky css to the MediaWiki:Monaco.css, and changed the skin setting to custom. We should be able to see that change, the side bar should be blue at the moment. That's odd.--Sxerks 03:30, April 7, 2010 (UTC)

In Need of Some Ideas!
Guys, I'm working on the CSS for the Wiki and I'm currently running out of ideas. Currently, my ideas include shrinking the text of the article and the stuff on the side. I also want to make the header occupy just one line. Now, I need some suggestions on color and/or layout for the Wiki. -Herald of meridian 13:20, May 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * Check the recent changes for my theme tests(5 of them) they are all based off of the Red Wikia Obsession. I'm currently using the Aqua one on the Thief Wiki.--Sxerks 23:52, May 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hmm, I dunno... it would require the site to look dark. I was thinking of leaving the article page white while the other parts get their colors. I'll try experimenting later if that works. Herald of meridian 00:01, May 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * OK, use this one, it's based off of the official site, and part of the Wikia Forest theme. It's a start.--Sxerks 02:11, May 25, 2010 (UTC)

How about we put up a new title for every character stating who they defeat and lost to? --AcceleratorLastOrder 17:53, Sep 2, 2010


 * I don't understand. Cite some examples.---TheGreatEye 04:40, September 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * I think what he meant is that we should record the battles that happened within the story. For example, in Episode 02 of Toaru Majutsu no Index, Touma defeats Stiyl. I'm not sure about the format, but the Bleach Wiki has implemented this. heraldofmeridian♣ 07:43, September 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, you just have to put up titles like victories and defeats and put the characters names in point form --AcceleratorLastOrder 05:07, September 3, 2010 (GMT +8.00)
 * Should we make an article for each individual fight, like the Bleach Wiki?---TheGreatEye 06:49, September 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hmm, I have mixed feelings for that, particularly because we have a comprehensive and very detailed synopsis. We can just add a section for battles and note there which ones are fighting and the outcome. heraldofmeridian♣ 08:21, September 4, 2010 (UTC)

Frontpage suggestion
Well, this maybe a little out-of-line to me, but to put it bluntly, the front page seems rather dull and plain. I visited the Shakugan no Shana wiki, and kind of liked the look of their frontpage and I wanted to see something similar in the wiki, I'm talking about the Media and categories subsections in the Content section of the front page.

Is the idea of having small pictures above these things too absurd? I mean we want to draw in people to read and eventually contribute to this wiki aren't we? My suggestion is that we should at least remodel the Contents section as so it could pique the interest of anyone who happens to visit the wiki. What do you guys think?---TheGreatEye 22:57, June 4, 2010 (UTC)

First of all, I just modified the front page code so that I shows up on the WYSIWYG mode of the editor (it's hard to layout when you don't know how it turns out) and right now it should look almost the same as the one with complex code although with misaligned stuff. As for the stuff from Shakugan no Shana Wiki, I'll try to replicate that or do something else. Herald of meridian 01:09, June 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * Do you mind if I try my hand in editing the front page?..I've gotten a few ideas after browsing a few other wikis that I like to try out..---TheGreatEye 03:39, June 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * The main page isn't for testing, if you want to try something out to see how it looks use a sandbox under your user page: User:TheGreatEye/sandbox
 * --Sxerks 04:13, June 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't really know how to use that thing, anyway I've visited the Half-Life wiki and as you can see the the frontpage has a section for it's categories, what do you guys think about it?..---TheGreatEye 12:20, June 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * You just copy the entire contents of the main page to your sandbox page, and play with it there.--Sxerks 14:03, June 7, 2010 (UTC)

Countdown to Season 2
Wouldn't it be easier to have a countdown timer displayed on the main page, instead of constantly editing the main page every time just so one can change the number of days left for the next season to air? Just throwing it out there.---TheGreatEye 05:31, September 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * No idea on how to do it. @_@ heraldofmeridian♣ 08:45, September 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well I have limited control, but I think you can fare much better, here is the mediaWiki page for the countdown timer: link. ---TheGreatEye 09:00, September 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Even with that, I don't know how I would install it. D: Should I do a Special:Contact? heraldofmeridian♣ 12:24, September 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * I found and added a timer, it you don't see it Ctrl-F5 to refresh.--Sxerks 02:20, September 3, 2010 (UTC)

ISML Updates
Just throwing out this idea that if you guys don't know about ISML then look at this link, ISML Currently there in the Double Elimination Finals with Misaka Mikoto just emerging victorious over Aisaka Taiga, now shes up against Shana. Id like to request permission of posting this information about the tournament on the main page here in this Wikia as its character from Index it needs to be supported by their fans, hope you guys agree and thanx in advance. LLHayate-Kun 06:44, September 9, 2010 (UTC)

~LL~


 * ~LL~ OK Update from ISML Misaka lost to Akiyama Mio and now has to beat the winner of the next match out of Nakano Azusa or Shana


 * its a shame but oh well also


 * Index and Kuroko were featured as an exhibition match with Index beating Kuroko just thought that id throw that out there.


 * LLHayate-Kun 08:35, September 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * Another Update from ISML Shana has beaten Nakano Azusa by a close margin and Misaka Mikoto will now face Shana in a rematch for a place in the Final against Akiyama Mio


 * LLHayate-Kun 03:50, September 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Better yet Misaka Mikoto has beaten Shana once again and has a place in the Championship Match with revenge against Akiyama Mio will she come out on top in this match!!!

A Big Change for Ursula (now Orsola) Aquinas
In the AnimeSuki Forums, one user actually pointed out that Ursula to Romanize オルソラ is incorrect and the official Romanization used by Haimura in the guidebook is Orsola. Upon further investigation, they're right; Orsola is an Italian name (which corresponds to her citizenship) and actually is the Italian counterpart for the English name Ursula.

I've made the move for two articles, and I just need some help in changing some details. Can anyone help me out, and I'll be posting a notice on the massive change within the week. heraldofmeridian♣ 12:49, September 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well... This could take a while.---TheGreatEye 13:10, September 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * huh... wow looks like bakatsuki might have to change their translations too ... but i don't think they will but yeah Orsola it is. LLHayate-Kun 16:50, September 11, 2010 (UTC)

Just asking
to which volume of the light novels will season 2 reach?

hmmm well i can guess since Itsuwa will be introduced im thinking up 2 Volume 15 but maybe the more higher ups of this wikia have different answers and thanx for updating the front page for ISML XD.

LLHayate-Kun 08:00, September 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * Our best guess is the 2nd season will reach until vol.13.


 * But, it our guess seems to have flaws:


 * - Acqua of the Back appears, but with his maze which he shows only on the vol.16


 * - Appears Terra of the Left but using his guillotine showed on vol.14.


 * - Itsuwa is on a place which seems to be Academy City, when so far in the vol.11 was on Italy where the buildings are of an old style.

Petition to merge articles
This is my request, I want articles like Large Weapon, mobile suits, Six Wings and Jet fighters to be merged into one article called "Academy City Army" (or other name if there is any better).


 * Army is a branch of the military, so it would be apt if the article would be called Academy City Military, though those articles refer to Academy City technology and Academy City Army or Military describes the organization as a whole not just the technology they use.---TheGreatEye 21:40, September 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm on it; merging all Academy City machinery and merging it to Academy City Military. If someone has some idea as to how to add more details in the article, please do. heraldofmeridian♣ 00:36, September 27, 2010 (UTC)

Too Many Redirects?
I noticed while I was merging the Academy City Military articles together that there are so many redirects in the article roster. I was thinking of taking out some of the redirects, but it's best to ask you guys on which ones I should take out. heraldofmeridian♣ 01:11, September 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, you can start from Orsola and Agnese, and then what's linked to them. How many redirects are there anyway?--Teh Ping 16:35, September 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * We have 206 redirects, with 9 double redirects. heraldofmeridian♣ 00:44, October 1, 2010 (UTC)

So, just help me out here...
Okay, I requested for this latest poll in order to see which one we should do, the reason being that at least we have an idea of what to work on. Joay's just touched up on where Twi left off, but I don't know whether he would want to finish up SS1, so I left that out as an option. Maybe I should have left 17 and 18 as an option, but oh well...

And as for why I undid the edits, it's because the poll count got reset.--Teh Ping 16:35, September 30, 2010 (UTC)
