Re:New admins
Hi, real life calls so I can't reply fully right now, though I would very much like to. Just to let you know that I've seen your message, but I won't be able to reply for the next 4 days, so you will have to wait till then. Calebchiam Talk 15:07, June 2, 2013 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I've been pretty busy for the past 2 weeks (only regained internet access last week) but that's no excuse for leaving a message unanswered that long, so for that, my sincere apologies.
 * Alright first of all, on principle, I won't consider giving adminship to the users you mentioned unless they consent to the request themselves (i.e. accept your nomination or request it from me directly). Whether or not I would give it to them if they did consent is another matter which I'll address if they ever do request it.


 * So for your case, I'll just consider the basic criteria as per usual. I see sustained editing since March, so that shows commitment, great. Good amount of edits, and reasonably proficient in editing. That being said, you haven't been in any conflicts with other users (which is a good thing) but I am not sure what level of judgment you would display in such situations. As a sysop, you'll be required to settle disputes in a neutral fashion, so your level of judgment is the most important criteria.


 * So here's a not-so-hypothetical scenario: One user berates another for supposedly targeting and revising his edits specifically. Address 2 scenarios: (1) The 2nd user isn't following the 1st user's edits and is merely making changes to whatever he sees fit. (2) The 2nd user is following the 1st user's edits. The assumption in both cases is that the edits made by the 2nd user are useful revisions that improve the Wiki. How would you resolve this conflict?


 * There's no one right answer, so don't be too flustered about it, I just want to see how rational your judgment is and how you think. Cheers. Calebchiam Talk 00:47, June 17, 2013 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. Although for the 1st scenario, instead of referencing the idea that the ends justify the means (which is not always a good moral reference for action), you could just remind the user that the whole idea of a Wiki is predicated on a belief in collaborative editing, etc. In any case, yeah, your judgment seems quite alright. Please familiarise yourself with the policies (there are more, but I haven't gotten around to adding them) and this guide article to know what is expected of you. When you've read them and agree to abide by them in your admin duties, message me again and I'll sysop you. Thanks. Calebchiam Talk 03:14, June 18, 2013 (UTC)

Don't worry about it
Don't worry about it, we all make mistakes. Although to be honest I recomend in future you try basing points on topics your unsure about on more realiable sources. General MGD 109 (talk) 22:28, June 2, 2013 (UTC)

I, too, would like to give my congradulations, RaghavD. I am glad we finally have an Admin who believes in neutrality on the wiki like myself. 108.247.147.25 23:36, June 20, 2013 (UTC)

I don't see any problems with adding one, in all but one sense. How would the countdown go, exactly? As there are more than one time zone, I would say if there would be one, it would be a countdown, in terms of days. As this way, an exact hour and minutes countdown, would only directly play towards one time-zone, which would be a bit, bias.&#91;&#91;User:Twilight Despair 5&#124;&#93;&#93; (&#91;&#91;The God of Creation&#93;&#93;) (talk) 17:41, June 21, 2013 (UTC)

What, I mean is that, in the US alone there are four time zones. But, that is a minor problem at best. But, I am not an admin only the Chat Moderator, so I don't know how much say I have on this, as iit is something that is outside making an article on the wikia.&#91;&#91;User:Twilight Despair 5&#124;&#93;&#93; (&#91;&#91;The God of Creation&#93;&#93;) (talk) 17:58, June 21, 2013 (UTC)

Hey
Hey, I'm a new user. Just wondering is this image perfect for the infobox picture of the Lilith article?



http://images.wikia.com/merlin1/images/e/ea/Superman-Logo-Signature-QaYYum.png ~Tom   Welling~ http://images.wikia.com/merlin1/images/e/ea/Superman-Logo-Signature-QaYYum.png 15:53, June 21, 2013 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for telling me! :) Yes, I agree now Gurgatory (talk) 00:29, June 27, 2013 (UTC)

re:infobox
Sure. As much as I can. What about it? FTWinchester (talk) 13:00, June 28, 2013 (UTC)

I'm no expert, but I believe it can be changed to match the background of the wiki. First you have to edit the infobox template in source mode (it's usually automatically on source mode), and most templates have a "style" portion. It's followed by six-character codes that stand in as color codes (i.e. #111111), or in some cases, you could use key words if the wiki/code recognizes it. All the elements have to be individually modified (i.e., the border, the space, the text), which gives you flexibility in designing the template. A quick google search can get you a list of essential/commonly-used color palette. As for the breaks, I'm trying to find out why there are breaks. Give me a few to test it out (I'm working as an anon on the wiki as I post this). FTWinchester (talk) 03:56, June 29, 2013 (UTC)

So I've modified the template a bit, with much help from other templates from other wikias. I can't affix the image limit without messing up the whole template (I'm really stumped about it, so I just removed the imagewidth limit altogether, which appears to work fine). As for the color of the text, I've tried to approximate the colors of the wiki, but you could change them. Here's one of the many hex code references you could use. In the first line of the code, you have the "background-color" -- which I've currently set to violet, on the third line, you have another "background-color", which I've set to red, and finally, the "color" immediately after it I've set to yellow.

For the breaks, instead of trying to find out what creates the break, I've just tried a different approach, which allows you to just input the data, without having to name every title/field (i.e., without having to type 'Ex Partner', and then the name of the Ex Partner on the next field). The disadvantage of what I've done is it would be incomplete if you need more fields. This could be easily remedied by simply editing the template source code to include additional fields you may need. Simply copy the part starting with:


 * |- style="vertical=align:top;"

all the way down to (except change the parantheses into brackets; I only changed them into parantheses because they would be read as source codes and thus would not be displayed for you to read here in the talk page):


 * ((field placeholder))

and supply the necessary field title. For example, I've added the field 'Known Relatives', which did not exist in the previous form of the template. Say for example you wanted to add the field 'Alias', the new code you'll have to add would look like this:


 * |- style="vertical-align: top;"


 * ((#if: (((Alias|))) | ((!)) valign=top ((!)) "'Alias"' ((!!)) (((Alias))) ))

There, I hope it helps. FTWinchester (talk) 04:59, June 29, 2013 (UTC)

Let me check if I can trim it down. FTWinchester (talk) 05:05, June 29, 2013 (UTC)

I've trimmed it. Just adjust it accordingly. It's in the second line (technically a continuation of the first line section on "style"), with the data of "width". Just adjust the number to your liking. FTWinchester (talk) 05:08, June 29, 2013 (UTC)

No problem. I hope it's nothing I can't fix. FTWinchester (talk) 05:17, June 29, 2013 (UTC)

re: Eve
I though they were included already? Or did you mean the wiki's main page? FTWinchester (talk) 13:11, July 3, 2013 (UTC)

Personally, I think his status as a deity needs a qualifier, as he is, technically, an archangel. Whereas all other beings in the Deities tab were legit deities. I mean I have no problem with you adding Lucifer, so long as there's a way for readers/visitors to know that Lucifer was actually only an archangel and was only considered a god by most demons. FTWinchester (talk) 13:16, July 3, 2013 (UTC)

I've modified Lucifer's overview info so it's clear that he was being deified. That should clear my reservations. I'm just not sure if other contributors would agree to having him on the 'Deities' tab. But for me, I've no problem about it (since I've already made it clear on his page as to why he was being considered a deity). FTWinchester (talk) 13:19, July 3, 2013 (UTC)


 * Now that we're on the topic, I was thinking if you could add the tie-in novels in the 'Browse' section on the main page, along with the 'TV series', 'Comic series', and 'Anime series'. FTWinchester (talk) 13:29, July 3, 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks. About the slider, I'm not really sure. I've been meaning to study how it works but it's an admin-access only. In any case, I think you've already edited it? FTWinchester (talk) 12:26, July 4, 2013 (UTC)


 * The regular templates, anyone can edit--that I'm sure, as I have created the info banner templates we are using right now. However, I couldn't seem (or never gave much time) to access the slider in the homepage, because whenever I try to edit the homepage template, I can't see any codes/text/links or what not save for some two alignment codes. I got nothing, so I really don't know how I can help. Sorry, man. FTWinchester (talk) 18:04, July 4, 2013 (UTC)

Re: New Pages
Well for rituals and spells, there's fleshing out of the 66 seals, with special focus on the Rising of the Witnesses, Raising of Samhain. There's also summoning Zeus, binding reapers--those sort of stuff, plus those listed on the page 'Ritual'. I can't even list everything right now because that would mean going through all the rituals since season 1. We need as many active users as possible. Thanks, man. FTWinchester (talk) 05:55, July 16, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah that's also one of my problems because he was so far the only pagan deity ever summoned. Although on the other hand, I don't think I'm in favor of letting the 'Ritual' page continue. After all, that would mean we'd be cramming everything in there. Also, clustering and categorizing them would need some consensus. The demon summoning was easy, because they all summoned demons, and angel summoning was logical because it was a counterpart to the demon summoning. However, I suppose a page on summoning Zeus could stand on its own. Once we start fleshing out those pages on other rituals (especially summoning rituals) it won't look so weird. Besides, Caleb agreed everything is worthy of documentation. If you're still in doubt, take a look at these pages 1 and 2. If those two objects warrant pages on their own, then I believe rituals (which served more purpose in terms of lore and plot development) have all the more reason to have their own pages. FTWinchester (talk) 06:09, July 16, 2013 (UTC)

Also, technically, to be fair, the page about the Spear of Destiny I created would also fall among those pages/objects I cited, for apparent lack of purpose in the show. However, in my defense, the artifact did hold real-world lore reflections and thus, would have had some significance/relevance to the show. FTWinchester (talk) 06:11, July 16, 2013 (UTC)

By the way, it's also awesome of you to expand on the animated series pages. I've been waiting forever for a contributor who gave time for that. If I only had a copy then I might have. Anyway, back on topic, this is what I had in mind when I opened up the discussion on improving our pages on Rituals and spells. FTWinchester (talk) 06:14, July 16, 2013 (UTC)

Exactly! Don't you just get all excited when you browse a wiki and see tons of lore under just one category? That's why I was gunning for us to improve our categorizations. And I know we could do something similar, if not better, because both shows were about good guys hunting/slaying demons and vampires and stuff. Also, thank you for correcting me. I've only read about two or three tie-in books, so I may have missed several others. I think your idea is a good one. Could I just add that we use the 'MixedCanon' template before the section of Hel starts? FTWinchester (talk) 06:28, July 16, 2013 (UTC)

Uhh, yeha. Sorry if I confused you. I just meant I used the buffyverse wikia's categorization as an inspiration because both shows were similar. Everything else after that was about Hel in the summoning page. FTWinchester (talk) 13:22, July 16, 2013 (UTC)

I also just realized Veritas was another pagan deity that was summoned. FTWinchester (talk) 04:16, July 18, 2013 (UTC)

If in case you are locking the page, please don't forget to temporarily add the template Locked on the page. Thanks. FTWinchester (talk) 12:35, July 22, 2013 (UTC)

Response
Hi Raghav! These categories are superfluous, very very very superfluous. They aren't 'categorising' anything at all, especially since there are more directed categories (i.e: Season 1 episodes, etc), that's why I think they need to go. Powerhouse wikis like Survivor Wiki and Merlin Wiki have got rid of them because of this, and I think the same should happen here. #DownWithTheNonsenseCategories :P http://images.wikia.com/merlin1/images/e/ea/Superman-Logo-Signature-QaYYum.png ~Tom   Welling~ http://images.wikia.com/merlin1/images/e/ea/Superman-Logo-Signature-QaYYum.png 14:30, August 3, 2013 (UTC)

If you say it should be discussed among the community (perhaps w/ a poll as well, to yield the true consensus), I wouldn't stop you. Just that I've worked with some of the highest qualified users around Wikia and they would agree with me. P.S, please meet me on chat if you can. :) http://images.wikia.com/merlin1/images/e/ea/Superman-Logo-Signature-QaYYum.png  ~Tom    Welling~   http://images.wikia.com/merlin1/images/e/ea/Superman-Logo-Signature-QaYYum.png 14:37, August 3, 2013 (UTC)

Talk page
Yeah, about that. I know I tried to keep my post as objective as possible, but given the history of interaction with a certain contributor and his/her style of conversing, I'd rather leave it as is, than to risk another flame war. I'm seriously tired of those kinds of conversations here in the wiki, and I hate holding grudges. It's not worth it--especially in something like a wikia. I like going here to contirbute, but I have more to life than this. I don't want to get so upset over something like this. Thanks for asking, though. FTWinchester (talk) 06:00, August 7, 2013 (UTC)

Re:Merchandise
I'm not the final authority on stuff that goes on in the Wiki, so this is really up for discussion. But IMO, merchandise is fine. Novels should come with plot synopses and all; it's part of canon. DVDs are alright too, though we should probably group them all under one article. Cheers. Calebchiam Talk 14:56, August 21, 2013 (UTC)

Re:ParentFilter
Hello! Glad to hear that you created the parent filter, but, when you said you created a template, do you mean you edited the MediaWiki page? The program launch means a MediaWiki:ParentFilter page was created on every wiki for users to fill out. To link people to that page, I would just add a link or button on the main page and/or nav bar! Please let me know if this answers your questions or not :) Grace (profile)•(talk) 17:04, September 18, 2013 (UTC)


 * The format looks good! It should be on this page though. You can just copy and paste, and then fill it out with the proper information. Grace (profile)•(talk) 17:12, September 18, 2013 (UTC)

No worries! I double checked for you and that is accurate :) I just went ahead and removed video games and film for you, so now you just have the TV template to fill out. Hope that helps! Grace (profile)•(talk) 17:27, September 18, 2013 (UTC)


 * Sorry about that! It seems that you might have actually been doing it right the first time, lol. The MediaWiki page is, in fact, directions for creating a parent filter page (as in article page). You should create a Parent Filter Template and then copy and paste the code from here onto that template. Once that is done, what would be best is creating a page called Supernatural Wiki: Parent Filter OR you can put it on the MediaWiki page like they did here. To answer your last question, availability should be where this show is available. In Adventure Time's case, they put Cartoon Network, iTunes, etc. Hope that all makes sense! Grace (profile)•(talk) 17:43, September 18, 2013 (UTC)

Ok, great! Thanks for bearing with the confusion :D Page looks great! Grace (profile)•(talk) 17:51, September 18, 2013 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately, that tab is uneditable (unless through a CSS hack or something)! Aside from the nav bar, the only thing I can recommend would be to put a button or something on the main page to make it more visible. This could be just a text link somewhere or an image button people can click on to get to the parent filter, whichever you prefer! Grace (profile)•(talk) 18:02, September 18, 2013 (UTC)

Re:Angels
The category includes angels with (i) immense power, (ii) special role and/or (iii) high rank (political/organizational power, not innate ability). The conditions are and/or. Virgil is a "Weapons Keeper of Heaven" and described as the "nastiest" angel under the command of Raphael--indicating at least two of the conditions applying to him (or even all three, arguably). Ion, Nathaniel and Esper, I also had doubts at first, but, this is Ion's line about their group: "You soldiers, down in the garrison, at least they let you believe the lie. Upstairs, working for Naomi, working in intelligence, we had no option but to live in the dirt. She never reset me completely." They were in the intelligence division, and described as "upstairs", also the term frequently used to connote higher angels who knew of Heaven's plans to let the Apocalypse continue. The line of Ion clearly connotes the soldiers or 'grunts' are below the rank of the intelligence division. Angels working in the intelligence division are not (i) immensely powerful, but they do satisfy (ii) specialized roles and (iii) high rank. Not as high as the archangels, but obviously higher than even garrison leaders. But I'm open to discussion. FTWinchester (talk) 17:54, September 21, 2013 (UTC)

General already convinced me to remove the Intelligence Angels, save from Naomi. I hope that is okay for you. Thanks. FTWinchester (talk) 05:34, September 22, 2013 (UTC)

 * Since there is already a section gets repetitive. David Kaique (talk) 14:54, September 25, 2013 (UTC)
