re:Monaco.css logo picture
I will try to do as many as I can, but I need to find good transparent PNGs or other cut outs of each character.

For some reason the logo hasn't updated for me (even though I've done a force refresh), I assume you can see it though.

 * Thats great news, and yes, I can see the logo...TheGreatEye 14:31, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

The logo should be neutral with only the tittle of the site like the other wikia sites, also the with changes done it doesn't redirects to the main page anymore--Lero 16:59, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

GIFS
Hey dude, I think I already asked Miridian this, but i'm trying to get everyone's opinion. What do you think about certain images being replaced by gifs? such as tree diagram being destroyed or Touma dispelling an ability? I got told that each article only needs a single gif each, so are there any in particular that you would wanna see?

 * Animated gifs are most appopriate if they are to replace scenes were a lot of action is to take place, when a single frame is not enough to fully grasp an action. Such as Mikoto firing a more powerful version of her Railgun, Touma dispelling an attack (more specifically the second time Touma dispelled Stiyl's fire attack, you know the one from episode 2, where the screen freezes for a moment before Touma closes his hand), how Kaori applies her Nanasen, etc., I think you understand what I'm trying to say here.---TheGreatEye 19:29, September 6, 2010 (UTC)

Infoboxes
I'm not sure if you really need it, but thought I'd ask anyway.. Do you guys need better infoboxes than what you get as default? I created an Infobox for espers (Template:Esper Infobox) for you to check. I need to fix the Image thing, which, if added now will take up the whole page, but once I get that fixed I wanted to know what you think.

There are a few advantages that this infobox has over the ones being used now such as:
 * Auto categorization (Any page with this template will be automatically categorized to a category called "Espers")
 * If a field is empty it wont show (No need to add N/A as a method to prevent something like showing up in an empty field)
 * If there is no image available, the image field will be left blank, unlike the current one where if an image isn't given a default picture shows up
 * Point form for multiple fields (Eg if a user has 2 powers, you add 2 fields like:


 * Ability Name = Body Regeneration
 * Ability Name 2 = Onmyouji Arts

I'd like to know what you think. Due to the auto categorization feature I was thinking of having 3 infoboxes. One for Espers, 2 for Magicans and the 3rd for Normal Humans. In doing so, the infobox you add to the page will automatically Categorize the page under either Espers, Magicans or Humans respectively.
 * and it will show up on the page as
 * Onmyouji Arts
 * Body Regeneration

Can't we have just have one infobox, that uses the auto categorization function?

What am I trying to say is, can't we use the auto categorization feature to extract whether or not the character in question is a magician or an esper, and use the extracted data as a variable as so to determine on how the infobox would like and what information it would display? That way we would only need one infobox and not three.

And yes I like all the points you showed on how the infobox would look like.---TheGreatEye 11:43, October 25, 2010 (UTC)


 * That kind of coding is above me right now, but I'll see what I can do. But the only difference between the 3 infoboxes will be the Name. For example you can copy the infobox layout of a Esper and paste it into a Magicans, and All you'll have to do is change the name of the Infobox for Infobox Esper, to Infobox Magican. ..AlienGamer (Userpage ⁝ Talk) 22:52, October 25, 2010 (UTC)


 * I understand that, I just don't want the wiki to be cluttered with templates that practically do the same thing.---TheGreatEye 03:30, October 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * The image problem is fixed, and the template is up for testing. Well, that kinda coding is over my level right now, so i can just switch off the Auto-categorization function, and add all the fields to the same infobox. It'll have all the features that i mentioned above, other than the auto-categorization...AlienGamer (Userpage ⁝ Talk) 08:19, October 28, 2010 (UTC)
