User talk:Herald of meridian

Welcome
Hi, welcome to To Aru Majutsu no Index Wiki! Thanks for your edit to the To Aru Majutsu no Index Wiki page.

Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything! -- Zekblue (Talk) 13:46, September 22, 2009

Starter Pages
The 2 admins haven't been too active here, but..

I was going to seed this wiki with starter pages about a week ago but a discussion came up on its Wikipedia Talk page about the correct spelling of "Toaru - To Aru". And I didn't want to have to move a pages and images.

I was going to do pages like this, like I did on the Minami-ke Wiki:
 * Toaru Majutsu no Index Episode 01
 * Toaru Kagaku no Railgun Episode 01
 * Toaru Majutsu no Index Light Novel Volume 01
 * Toaru Majutsu no Index Manga Volume 01
 * Toaru Majutsu no Index Manga Chapter 001
 * Toaru Kagaku no Railgun Manga Volume 01
 * Toaru Kagaku no Railgun Manga Chapter 001

But there is always the Character pages that can be done, and not be impacted by the name spelling.--Sxerks 16:15, October 31, 2009 (UTC)


 * There is a reason for the inactivity... Really. Anyway, regarding the proposal to change from To Aru Majutsu no Index to Toaru Majutsu no Index it's probably best to wait and see if the propose for the change gets pass or not.


 * Just for reference, I think it best if this wiki was done in a similar style/template as TYPE-MOON. - Zekblue 06:55, November 1, 2009 (UTC)


 * That wiki only seems to have Character pages.--Sxerks 02:17, November 25, 2009 (UTC)

Title conflicts and start pages [Response]
I think there's no problem with the To aru/Toaru conflicts in Wiki. I too had a typo in the main page of Shakugan no Shana Wiki which I managed to fix by making another article with the fixed name in it. Though I also understand that conventions are the bigger concern that the space between 'to' and 'aru'.

On the starter pages, I'll support the remaining active admin's decision to wait for the move from the Wikipedia discussions, but I hope I hear from you guys later when the decision from Wikipedia has been finalized. :) Herald of meridian 09:57, November 1, 2009 (UTC)


 * Seems as though the "to aru" to "toaru" hasn't been finalized. The talk is still up in the air and is back to square one. Hopefully, the proposal would be finalized soon. For now I'll work on updating the Character page. - Zekblue 08:05, November 7, 2009 (UTC)


 * It has now been finalized as "Toaru"--Sxerks 02:17, November 25, 2009 (UTC)

Character, Kanzaki Kaori Talk page
Lets talk here:

http://toarumajutsunoindex.wikia.com/wiki/Talk:Kanzaki_Kaori

Move Request
Could you move File:1266051651802.jpg to "File:Toaru Kagaku no Railgun E19 21m 43s.jpg"
 * --Sxerks 02:58, February 22, 2010 (UTC)

Moving Pages
When moving pages, please dont always supress the redirect. Redirects exsist to redirect the user to the page if he types in a similar name for the character. So always supressing it is kinda a pain when u do a search...AlienGamer (userpage ⁝ talk) 07:18, March 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * Nah, no prob, just kinda annoyin wen the name i searched with yesterday, doesn't work today. But redirects dont cluster the wiki that much..It's an aid for searching after all...AlienGamer (userpage ⁝ talk) 08:11, March 4, 2010 (UTC)

Spoilers
Thanks for the help from before. A new request, is it possible to have text that is in spoiler tags, or need to be highlighted to see the text? I want to add information from Volume 20, but some of the things are meant to be dramatic and I don't want to spoil the surprise.


 * You can always use this code to hide spoilers. Herald of meridian 12:47, May 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well that's is a good idea to use something like that WiliamZ 12:53, May 24, 2010 (UTC)WiliamZ
 * Well the fact of reading thing from Vol.20 are already spoilers but if you feel comfortable by using the code, yeah go ahead.
 * Well the fact of reading thing from Vol.20 are already spoilers but if you feel comfortable by using the code, yeah go ahead.
 * Well the fact of reading thing from Vol.20 are already spoilers but if you feel comfortable by using the code, yeah go ahead.

Skin
I think you need to go into your preferences and set the skin to Custom, because it's not showing up.--Sxerks 15:26, May 25, 2010 (UTC)


 * I set it to Custom already, even before your message. It doesn't want to be overridden. Herald of meridian 00:07, May 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * I know you did a month ago or so, try it again, there might have been a glitch.--Sxerks 02:51, May 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Still nothing. D: Herald of meridian 04:01, May 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * That is odd, definitely a glitch. Do a Special:Contact and say that the monaco-custom setting is not working.
 * --Sxerks 04:34, May 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * I noticed your tried the settings again, have you contacted the staff about it?--Sxerks 02:33, May 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * I did, and still nothing. I've contacted them again about this. Herald of meridian 05:20, May 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * Looks better now. Looks like something was wrong with the MediaWiki:Common.css file.--Sxerks 02:36, June 16, 2010 (UTC)

Mature rating warnings?
Is there some sort of tags that warns people that certain things on this wiki might not be a 'G' rating? I'm planning to put up a summary of Volume 20 Chapter 3 soon, and it's not exactly 'G' material (though it's not R-18 either). That might help too when I get around to doing volume 15 and 19 summaries, since that tend to get a bit bloody, for example like 'Black Lagoon' anime/manga. Flere821


 * Now that you've opened that topic, I was about to implement badges for users and articles. I'm not in my own computer though. I'll try to make some badges when I come back. Herald of meridian 02:58, June 8, 2010 (UTC)

Questions
How do you change the picture of a infobox? (those box at the top right saying info of the charcater) I tried URL and it didn't worked. thnx! --AcceleratorLastOrder 17:35, Sep 3, 2010


 * You have to upload it to this Wiki. First, save the picture on your computer, then use the Upload image link below the main menu or here. heraldofmeridian♣ 11:59, September 3, 2010 (UTC)

GIFS
I was wondering if certain article pictures could possibly be replaced by GIFS, such as the Orihime-1 satelite being destroyed, or even Touma dispelling an ability. What do you think?Me, who else? 23:38, September 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, of course, but just one GIF per article is enough. heraldofmeridian♣ 02:02, September 5, 2010 (UTC)

Thanx
Just want to say thanx again lol i was wondering why news ISML hasnt spread over in this wikia and i like the news article you have a way with words XD i'll be sure to give my own contributions to Toaru Universe as much as i do in the Hayate no Gotoku Wikia. LLHayate-Kun 13:33, September 9, 2010 (UTC)

Anieze to Agnese
Still haven't considered yet? There really shouldn't be a debate about it since it's the officially given name. Edit away. Imagker 06:15, September 17, 2010 (UTC)

Additional Pages Under Science Terminologies
Yep. I'm referring to the addition of terms like 'Dual skills' and 'Multi-skills' regarding Harumi-sensei's case and explanations.DLG.Master 12:58, September 26, 2010 (UTC)

Season 2 Episode summaries
Will you be doing the rest of the Season 2 summaries?---TheGreatEye 04:50, October 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * No certainty in that, but I did make synopses for the majority of episodes for Railgun. heraldofmeridian♣ 05:08, October 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * Wow the summaries rather fast. Well, i going to be the one that correcting any mistakes if it is OK?WiliamZ 05:13, October 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * Go ahead. :) But if you screw up, Imma smack you. Just kidding. XD heraldofmeridian♣ 05:21, October 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * If you can do it, it would keep my attention of finishing the episode summaries of the previous season.---TheGreatEye 05:55, October 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok, you can focus on Season One, TheGreatEye. I just hope that we cut down on pictures. I noticed how a lot of them can clutter the article area. heraldofmeridian♣ 05:59, October 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * I try to only add images that have some importance, or something that hasn't been seen before. If there are too many they can always be made smaller 120px or 90px in a gallery or something.

Special:Contact reply
Hi Herald, I'm Brandon from Wikia. I got your Special:Contact message and I'm replying here, per your request. Are you still having trouble editing and creating pages? If so, would you be able to provide a screenshot of what you're seeing? I have a pretty good idea of what it is that you're seeing, but I'd just want to make sure. Also, can you reply on my talk page? That way I'll know when you're replied. Thanks! :) - Brandon Rhea (talk) 19:54, October 20, 2010 (UTC)

Hey
Could you check the discussion here? Its a bit long, but bear with it...AlienGamer (Userpage ⁝ Talk) 21:28, October 28, 2010 (UTC)

Editing problems
Right now everytime when I try to edit a page on this wiki the background is nearly black and I can't quite see what I am typing. Can this be fixed? I was going to add more info on the Angel Fall arc LN version but I don't think I can work with the current problem. Flere821 02:49, November 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * Checked my other wikis, and they are fine. Weird. I think I should do another Special:Contact. heraldofmeridian♣ 03:23, November 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * For some odd reason, that editing problem seems to be gone now >.> So we don't have to worry about that anymore. Flere821 22:53, November 6, 2010 (UTC)

Light Novel Volume 12-13 Arc Naming Poll Request
Well meridian it seems that you have archived the previous poll, as such I kindly request for you to set up a poll on the front page for people to vote on what the proper arc name of the 12-13 Light Novels would be, as seen on this page. The reason being is that we have reached a deadlock and seems not one of editors that were part of the discussion is willing to vote on it, as such I am hoping for the general public to choose instead.

Here are the choices along with the names of the one who suggested it:


 * Academy City Invasion Arc (suggested by Suzuku)
 * 0930 Incident Arc (suggested by Fukitscold)
 * Vento's Invasion Arc (suggested by heraldofmeridian♣)
 * Vento of the Front's Invasion Arc (suggested by Wilfriback)
 * September 30th Incidents Arc (suggested by Flere821)
 * September 30 Arc (suggested by TheGreatEye)

The polls should be closed and archived up around December 11th.---TheGreatEye 03:38, November 11, 2010 (UTC)

Index PSP Game and other issues
Yeah, since the Toaru Majutsu no Index (PSP game) was just released I was wondering if we could make an announcement or a small reminder on the front page on how desparetly need editors for it, in fact we should encourage more editors to sign up, and we really need them right now.

Also, I believe we should separate the Featured Article section from the Current Episode that is airing.---TheGreatEye 19:27, January 26, 2011 (UTC)

RE: Last Undo
You removed the links to the chapter articles. And a page that is only an infobox isn't a good article. remember to revert your testing when done or use a sandbox. --Sxerks 22:04, February 25, 2011 (UTC)

Collapsible list
Copy and pasted the source code for a collapsible list from Wikipedia. During testing, it seems that this wiki does not support collapsible frames (if I am using that term correctly), and I have seen currently running wikis that use collapsible list templates without problems, and it seems that they have edited their common.css and common.js for them to function.

As such, I come to you in need of your assistance. Is there any way we could enable collapsible list into this wiki?---TheGreatEye 08:21, February 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * There's just a code snippet that is needed to add collapsible tables support. I just added it, so try to create some collapsibles on the Sandbox. If it does not work, try to clear your cache and try again. If it's stubborn, contact me. (It just takes one line to integrate collapsibles, but I'm not sure if I need to copy that CSS property for collapsibles.) heraldofmeridian♣ 08:33, February 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * Ah, thank you I'll begin testing as soon as time allows.---TheGreatEye 13:11, February 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * Tested it and it doesn't seem to work. I tried searching for solutions, and then I found this page addressing the problem. Any thoughts regarding this?---121.54.35.202 06:41, March 2, 2011 (UTC)

Wikia Anime on Twitter
Heads up, Kate.moon of the Wikia Content team, just sent me a message regarding trying to create a WikiaAnime Twitter group.

Here is her message in full:


 * Hello, I'm Kate from the Wikia Content team. We are trying to create a WikiaAnime Twitter group, where all of the amazing wikis can come together and share their most exciting information, and hopefully get a lot of new users! To join, all you need to do is post this Twitter button and tweet list on your main page.


 * Twitterbutton.png
 * 


 * Then you can visit the Anime Twitter Suggestions Page and post tweets you'd like to see, with links back to your wiki.


 * Please share this with your other members and admins and see if it's something they'd be interested in joining!
 * Let me know if you have any questions, and we hope to see you there!


 * Kate.moon 01:03, March 2, 2011 (UTC)

I am completely ignorant regarding twitter and since you have access to the wiki's twitter, I am handing this over to you.---TheGreatEye 06:07, March 2, 2011 (UTC)

Editing of the profile pic for Kamijou Touma (and Accelerator)
Hi, it's regarding the profile pic for Kamijou touma in the wikia. It was me who uploaded the new profile pic into the wiki. But it's up to you which pic do you prefer, although i am curious to hear why you honestly do not prefer the newer profile pic for Kamijou Touma. And also, can we finalise the profile pic for Accelerator as well, as i have uploaded 2 new pictures of Accelerator which can be used as a profile pic. Thanks.

AirLance 08:29, March 23, 2011 (UTC)

RE: Touma's Profile Image
I'm aiming for pictures of him in his winter uniform, but i cant find any. I will try and find some from the entire season two, and i'll upload it to the photo database when i find decent ones.

RE: Recommending new profile pictures for Touma.
I've just found a new picture for Touma. This is one of the best profile picture i can find for Touma. If not, I might have to wait for future episodes to be able to find some other better pictures. I have yet uploaded the picture of Touma into his profile image.

--AirLance 09:59, March 24, 2011 (UTC)

SS Poll
Just curious who started the pole about which side stories would you like to see translated?Lero 04:14, April 1, 2011 (UTC)

Why the Railgun SS2 was included? I've noticed the votes drastic increase when it only has 2 parts published so far.Lero 01:40, April 2, 2011 (UTC)

All of a sudden, more users
There seems to be a huge influx of new users in the past couple of days, and I'm rather wary of them, especially the accounts that were created within minutes of each other. Is this perhaps an April Fool's prank, after all the accounts most of the accounts were made in April the 1st? If it is, I suggest that we disable account creation every April the 1st.TheGreatEye 06:11, April 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * I have checked the roster of registered users and I don't think we have any problems with that. As for Unregistered ones, we'll just have to keep on the lookout. I'll revert any forms of vandalism that I can distinguish and the others should edit false info. heraldofmeridian♣ 06:31, April 2, 2011 (UTC)

Twitter
Hi there,

I hope you remember me; I'm Kate, and I work for Wikia. I have a huge favor/request to ask of you. It's been sort of a project of mine to highlight all of our amazing anime/manga wikis through the Wikia Anime Twitter account. I've been running it for a long time now but have been asked to pass it along to our awesome anime Community so they can take over and tweet also. Because the Twitter account is really important to me and is garnering followers at a very fast rate, I want to entrust it to admins I trust and know support Twitter.

I've asked Bereisgreat (you've probably seen him around) and he's been doing an AMAZING job the last month. He's been doing this on his own and I was really hoping that you would like to contribute! It would just be keeping the Twitter account active and running by circulating as many awesome anime/manga wikis as possible with whatever information is current, relevant, exciting, etc.

I would love if you could help out but if you don't have time, it's absolutely no pressure and no problem at all. If you are interested, please let me know and I'd love to discuss it more with you!

Thanks!

Welcome bit
The reason that the welcome bit was moved to the left column as so that it doesn't conflict with the right column ad. Right now with it centered the middle ad is being overlapped in some browsers and in other browsers it's pushing the content way far down. Can we please change this to being in the left column? - Wagnike2 16:58, October 13, 2011 (UTC)

Hi. Is it fine to use articles from this wiki to translate it @ ru.toarumajutsunoindex.wikia.com?

Featured article
What do you think of this set-up? I have abandoned the prospect of mimicking Wikipedia's daily Featured article, as it would require more work, (specifically maintenance and archiving). Although, the featured article is overshadowed by the Keep in mind—Helping out section in the main page, and I suggest moving it to a Toaru Majutsu no Index Wiki namespace and simply link it to the main page.

You should also choose your featured articles in advance as well.-TheGreatEye 12:55, February 20, 2012 (UTC)

Main page
Salutations. If you check this page out, one can see that I have copied the main page's contents, though it looks a bit different. This is concerning remaking the main page as so the user can easily navigate the wiki immediately after looking at the front page. I have also restructured it as so the featured article and the newest episode/manga chapter (if one so chooses, since I disabled it for now) can be displayed more prominently. For the external links, twitter, and what-not, I took it out of the column-based structure, so now it wouldn't look crunched up. I'm thinking we should cut down the news to only three, and I'm planning to get rid of the Helping Out section, since it is just a clutter.

What say you?---TheGreatEye 08:53, February 21, 2012 (UTC)


 * Take note that as a high-traffic wiki, we should follow the two-column main page layout convention advised by Wikia. The layout looks good, but I can't judge until the two-column page is put into consideration. heraldofmeridian♣ 13:04, February 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * I can scarcely believe that, since for the most part I have gotten rid of an entire section already to reduce the clutter of text, and that the only thing that had radically changed was the head, and some of the sections taken out of the two-column division, which I believed was wisely warranted -- the top was already outside the division in the first place. I don't believe that this lay-out is a problem for traffic, especially when I requested the removal of too much news in the news section to accomadate this change, as well as my suggestion of removing another section.
 * Now, I believe in following these standards Wikia has put up, and I'd like for you to link them to me, but we should be at least a little liberal here, since space is something we don't have thanks to Wikia wasting it.---TheGreatEye 14:12, February 21, 2012 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately the 2 column is still 1 column when it comes to ads, as an ad placement would shift the entire page done. As opposed the original which would only shift the right column. the helping out section should stay, but can easily be reduced in size. The external link could be moved to the Index and Railgun overview pages.--Sxerks 18:57, February 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * Now seeing this in Internet Explorer, yes I can see the obnoxious box that appears at the top right. Can at we least transfer the featured article to the left, and the reduced news section to the right?---TheGreatEye 00:27, February 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * By the way, since the anime's second season is long finished, we can take that episode update section out. Also, we should add an update on the latest manga chapter on the left side (both Index and Railgun), probably below the news section. heraldofmeridian♣ 02:38, February 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * I have to think about how to implement that. By the away, I concede to your points regarding this two-column set-up, but still, I would like to implement those links and some of those changes that are featured in my sandbox.---TheGreatEye 03:54, February 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * The manga chapters could be done in the format that I do on the Minami-ke wiki and maybe on the right column.--Sxerks 04:26, February 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * Still liked a confirmation though before doing anything. Also, wouldn't it be more efficient if we had that section as a template that can be transcluded in the main page?---TheGreatEye 05:06, February 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * Go for it, it can always be tweaked, or reverted. We probably should have a template for each section, including the obsolete ones like the episode update.--Sxerks 16:27, February 22, 2012 (UTC)

Resetting indents. Templates is good, actually. Changes can be done without editing the main page too much, and each of the templates used can be protected to avoid vandalisms (of course, the main page needs to be protected as well). Also, reorganizing entire sections would be a cinch. heraldofmeridian♣ 00:50, February 23, 2012 (UTC)


 * I shall see what I can do.---TheGreatEye 04:40, February 23, 2012 (UTC) EDIT: I'm making these templates now, and I'm requiring those missing manga chapter articles.---TheGreatEye 05:56, February 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * Well crap. @_@ That's easy though, although a vast majority of them would be relatively empty articles. We still need someone who can help me add synopses on each and single one of both series' manga chapter articles. heraldofmeridian♣ 13:38, February 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * Here's a tip, copy-paste the synopses/summaries from the Index anime and the editing the copied text as one sees fir. In the first season, I am up to Three Stories Arc, and have yet to come up to Kazakiri Hyouka's. And have we not completely written all of the second season?
 * The Railgun chapters is a bit more problematic though.---TheGreatEye 00:24, February 24, 2012 (UTC)

Slideshow
Seems that all the slideshows that were previously working has somehow stopped, I can't seem to find the reason why, and I assume that it's wikia's fault.---TheGreatEye (talk) 08:45, September 8, 2012 (UTC)

Just a heads up.
I will be really busy in real life come the following days, so i'll apologize in advance that I will unable to join in the foray in updating the wiki with NT5 information.---TheGreatEye (talk) 08:29, October 7, 2012 (UTC)

On featured article
Some problems have come up, and I am quite sure now that I will not be able to make the feature article tomorrow, as such, I am asking for this task to be done by you.---TheGreatEye (talk) 05:14, October 31, 2012 (UTC)

On backgrounds
Terribly sorry, but I seem to be incapable of finding the code that leads to the background of this theme to be in this brownish gradient. As you may know, I have uploaded an image of Academy City that I would like to use as a background, and would like to know how it would like. Editting around in Photoshop I have managed to make an approximate of what it would look like, but since it is my own edition I am not quite sure:

I would like to request for you to modify the css that I have been editting (MediaWiki:Common.css) as so it would display the background. Moreover, I'd like for your opinion on what it looks like as well as your views on changing the background of this Wiki, which I come to see as bland and a detriment to attracting people.---TheGreatEye (talk) 08:17, November 10, 2012 (UTC)

Hi Herald of meridian. Thanks for your comment on my profile. Actually, Me and my associate have a Toaru Majutsu No Index Role play site and were wondering if we could Affiliate with you here at the wiki. That way we could share member base and increase the productivity of both sites. here i have our link back for you to look over our forum and Decide for yourself. (i also left this note for galaxyTM)

Helping Out
Hello! I hope you liked the edits I made to the Vivid Red Operations wiki! I was hoping to maybe make some changes to this wiki as well; specifically, maybe creating new headers and adding a few picture to break up the text on the main page and also giving this wiki a new skin. It's already looking great and has a lot of content so I would not make any major changes.

TheGreatEye asked that I get permission from more than one admin which is why I am leaving this message for you. Let me know if you're ok with the suggested changes and feel free to let me know what you want or do not want done :)

Grace 19:36, December 17, 2012 (UTC)


 * I've made a few changes, but feel free to edit or revert whatever you would like :) Grace 00:06, December 19, 2012 (UTC)

Wiki background
You know, I struggled with wanting put a Valentine's themed background, but yours works much better.TheGreatEye (talk) 09:38, February 13, 2013 (UTC)

All things must come to an end, and make way for the new.

 * My days here are now at an afternoon, for I am sure I can no linger here in a consistent manner. It has been pleasure to work for this place, but life has begun singing of laments of a life wasted, though I beg to differ. Who now has the will to contend against the ever expanding world of Toaru Majutsu no Index when we have gone. The days of the old admins have passed long ago, and no longer have they shadowed these halls, and you, good Messieurs, have waned away as well. I had hoped that through example, our efforts shall inspire others to create, but it seems it is of little results, and I shall not hope any longer. When I go, I determined that I shall leave the wiki to its own devices and machinations, and dearly I wish for many wonderful things from it from the users when I pay small visits to my old friend. But I do not wish to do so anymore. Leaving is an inevitability, yes, but so are memories from which the spirit lingers, and the wiki share the same spirit, which is to write about the world of Toaru Majutsu no Index, and the many things and people in it that we have come to love.


 * As such, I propose to call the people who lurk in the shadows and those who are named and ask of them to take up the leadership of this wiki before we gone away, for our dominion is at an end, we have grown old and tired, and many things occupy our mind as do all those poor mortal souls who lingered far too long in the precious fields of Elfland. I do hope you shall consider this request. We need new admins, bureaucrats, etc.TheGreatEye (talk) 05:00, February 14, 2013 (UTC)
