Talk:Supernatural Wiki

Wiki.png and Wiki wide.png
You guys need something to replace the Wikia logo at the upper left hand corner and a Wiki wide image to promote your wiki. If you need help, I'm here to offer assistance. --Destron Commander 07:27, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

hey we ALREADY had a logo, where is it?? I was on vacation and I didn't get a chance to visit this wiki, and now when I saw it where is the logo I made?? I can make another one. note: here i found the wiki_wide: http://supernatural.wikia.com/wiki/Image:Wiki_wide.png. Why isnt it on the page??Umairnadeem 12:23, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

I think that when the Wikia pages got the new appearance about a month ago, the logo got removed. Kyle Nin 16:55, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

alright.. i think we have a problem. i did some research and found out that the req. logo sized was changed about a month ago, and the wiki_wide i have is too big because of the required size change. I got a new computer but now i dont have my graphics software (mac. fireworks) soo... itll take some time to be back on again.. sorrry. Umairnadeem 12:39, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Powers
Alright I keep seeing people putting in extremely powerful powers like Omnipotence in Gabriels powers.

Gabriel does not have Omnipotence. Omnipotence is having Unlimited Power, not even Lucifer and Michael have that otherwise Lucifer could easily step out of hell, snap his fingers and destroy everything including God and Death. People! You need to stop naming the powers things like Omnipotence, Omniscient and other powers like it. This also goes for powers like what the Antichrist had, I seen before that someone put Telekinesis and said that he created a Earth Quake by Clenching his fist, that's not Telekinesis, that's Terrakinesis. Most of the powers need to be renamed because a lot of their names are false. I'm gonna start renaming some of the powers, like I said before stop giving the characters false names and find the name that actually says what they are.

Calling All Active Users
I am a fairly new, but active member of the Supernatural wiki, and I've got a few things I'd like to contribute, and swear to keep my word.

The first thing I'd like to contribute is giving it a new look. I think now of all times seems to be quite a perfect time for revamping the wiki's blank standard look. I specialize in making designs for the skin and themes of sites like these, and I'd like to change things up a bit with this wiki. I'd also like to keep the information up to date and informative, without anything too spoiler-ish.

I've attemped to contact the last active Admin, or even bring the idea around to an active, but nobody's responding, and yet I've got a lot of good ideas I'd like to contribute to this Wiki. So I would like to take on the role of developing the Supernatural wiki further. Now, I'm calling all active users out there to discuss: who should the next Admin be for the Supernatural wiki?

 * Hi! I'm new on here as well and I completely agree with you: this Wiki needs a complete revamp. I've just checked out the Admins' Contributions and the latest edit from one of them is September. Perhaps we should try leaving a message on their Talk Pages. If they don't reply, then perhaps we should contact the Central Wiki. I would like to become an Admin as well.


 * I'll try leaving those messages.

 * Alright, sounds good to me. Do you know if there can be more than one admin per Wiki?
 * Thesilentpoethosea 16:05, November 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * There can be. On the Charmed Wiki, there are 3 Bureaucrats and 4 Sysops. I've sent the Supernatural Wiki Admins messages but none of them have replied me.

pagan god
What is your favorite pagan god? For me, it is the Vanir in season one's episode Scarecrow.

PLAGARISM

It has been bought to my attentiont that a number of the episode summaries on this site have been copied in their entirety from www.supernaturalwiki.com (many of which I wrote myself). Please remove this content and write your own summaries. Please note that the terms of the Wikia site state that "You may not submit content to the Service that you did not create or that you not have permission to submit."

Which is the best season of Supernatural?
6 seasons and still going strong,this show has changed a lot since first season.Season 6 is getting interesting and the executive producers have promised an awesome finale,but so far which season do you think is supernatural's best season? my favourite is the 2nd....what about you guys?

I honestly think season five was the best season, but season six is a special season to me. I really, really liked that season, and I look forward to season seven. Thesilentpoethosea 01:01, July 9, 2011 (UTC)

Creatures

Is 'creatures' the right term to describe God? as well as other beings under this list?

(Anonymius 19:57, September 18, 2011 (UTC))

Should I create a page named "Amortality"?
The word amortality means having never been born, and can't die.. To me, this seems like God and Death would be considered that, as they've always existed. Also, it's separate from immortality, in that immortals could've been born, they're just unable to die.. So, should I, or should not create this? -- ImperiexSeed, 10:01 PM, October 15th 2011

In the episode "Shut up, Dr. Phil" when Dean says "Clean up on Aisle Seven" after they discover the decapitated girl, is this a reference the movie "Se7en"? (The connection being a decapitated head)

Eve and Others Missing from Front Page
Is there a reason why so many other creatures are missing from the front page? Eve immediately comes to mind. But what about legends like Hookman, Kitsune, etc. Is it because listing all the monsters would make it too cluttered? If so, I still think at least Eve deserves a mention given that she was the "Big Bad" for Season 6.

--RobWinchester 17:04, October 22, 2011 (UTC)

I agree. I don't see any reason for her to not be there. It's already really cluttered, but considering she was an important antagonist (more than Doc Benton, for example), she deserves some sort of mention... Also, I removed a spam ad that was here. Jmflaig (talk) 03:23, September 7, 2012 (UTC)

Admin
I know several things about the concepts of designing, evil creatures, Wikia and high English, therefore I wish to aid with the website. Yet, my help is limited being just a guest, even with an account. So, if it not much of a bother, I would like to become an admin and maximize the potential this website has.

All the best,

Kratos Jr.

Archangels
I dont like the fact that two archangels die, lets hope they (or at least Gabriel) are being resurected by God in the following seasons. Gabriel was a cool character that I think is important. This is just my point of view. Anyone else who thinks the same?


 * Yeah, I loved him too. But....unfortunately, I don't see him coming back. -- ImperiexSeed, 2:49 PM, June 30th 2012


 * He should though, God resurrected Castiel at least twice, so why not one his Archangels? they are kinda like literal Brothers and have seen god, Raphael (who never mentioned Gabriel and vice-versa was abit of a jerk and killed cass once and maybe god dislikes that) was like i said, a jerk, but Gabriel is one of the only angels to appreciate humanity which would make god proud, and Gabriel sacrificed himself for sam and dean, they are Gods true children kinda, say he should be resurrected.
 * IndigoRider (talk) 02:00, August 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * Castiel's been resurrected because he's God's favorite, for probably his fierce loyalty/devotion and humanity. Similarly to Michael, Raphael's willing to do anything to bring about paradise on Earth by Michael defeating Lucifer, and Raphael completely lost faith in God, so I don't see God resurrecting him, although Cas, in absorbing all of Purgatory's souls, did claim to be a new better God, mocking his very name, but yet God saved him yet again, so I guess he could resurrect any one of them. Gabriel, however, was true and sincere, I thought. -- ImperiexSeed, 11:27 PM, August 14th 2012

Sources for Anna Milton
Could someone please provide the sources for some of the conjecture on Anna Milton's page? Specifically, the statement, "Her character was intended to replace Castiel, who was supposed to be killed by Alastair in "On The Head Of A Pin", as Dean's angelic guide. Due to Castiel's immediate popularity with critics and fans alike, much of Anna's role was given to him instead and she was eventually removed from the series entirely. "

I have never before heard this in the year I've spent being a part of the Supernatural fandom. That is in no way to say that it isn't true or likely; rather, I would appreciate the sources from which this came so I may investigate further.

(I am new to this wikia business, and I hope I'm doing this right. Jmflaig (talk) 02:22, September 7, 2012 (UTC))

Sources in General
Pardon the douple-posting, but I felt this warranted a new topic, separate from the Anna Milton one.

Looking through this Wikia, I've noticed that there are a lot of unsubstantiated pieces of so-called "trivia". Some of these are most likely from "behind the scenes", stated during interviews or conventions. I know that it will be a lot of work, but I propose that we begin adding sources to such things. For example, if Misha Collins mentions something major and previously unheard of at ChiCon, please mention that (and, if available, provide links to where you obtained such information).

Regarding comments made about one character from another, I think we should mention which episode said comments were made in. For example, from Dean Winchester's Trivia section, I would very much like to know which episode Sam declared that Dean knows "all of Clint Eastwoods (sic) movies".

Although it will be difficult, I also propose removing anything that a source cannot be found for. Deletion would not be necessary if there's some way to simply hide it from what non-registered users can view. Basically, let's cite our sources. This will make it much easier to look at quotes and quips in-context; it will also raise the standard and the validity of what gets published. Jmflaig (talk) 02:40, September 7, 2012 (UTC)

Consistency in "Trivia" and "Notes" Sections; Add a "Conjecture" Section
Provided I don't think of anything else, this should be my last consecutive post on the Talk page (for now).

I've noticed that on some character pages, a "Trivia" section is present; on others, a "Notes" section is present. As a first order of business, I propose we specifically define which each category should contain and keep everything consistent.

Next, I propose that we establish a new section, aptly titled something like "Conjecture". This section is where unsubstantiated theories would be placed. A few examples of what I mean are the following posts on Anna Milton's page, under the "Notes" section: Both of the above can be argued for against and without any canon answer. Therefore, they are purely theory and conjecture, and should be in such separate section. Jmflaig (talk) 02:59, September 7, 2012 (UTC)
 * "Some fans argue that Michael merely destroyed Anna's vessel and sent her back to Heaven rather than kill her. Support for this claim include her wings not being shown (angels who have been permanently killed off are sometimes shown with their wings burnt into their surroundings) and other characters not referring to her as being dead. However, she has not since reappeared and not all angels that are killed have their wings shown: all of the lower-level angels, Balthazar, Raphael, and Hester also do not show their wings."
 * "Her debut in Season 4 as a fallen angel without power arguably sets up Castiel being depowered from being cut off from Heaven in Season 5. However, there are some discrepancies: Anna loses all of her grace at once yet still retains some of her powers over twenty years later whereas Castiel loses his grace more gradually but ends up completely powerless by the fifth season finale. It may be that she retained some of her power because she was Castiel's superior and thus more powerful, similar to how Lucifer lost none of his powers when he fell. "

My only disagreement with your proposals is the addition of a "Conjecture" section as speculation (i,e. theories) is generally prohibited on this wiki aside from talk pages or blogs. To quote ImperiexSeed, "Look, all speculation does is twist concrete info into something that's based on opinion or preference, which isn't helpful.", and I firmly agree with that statement as I believe for any wiki to be fully accurate, editors can not blur the line between fact and speculation. 108.225.237.8 08:29, September 7, 2012 (UTC)
