Things to do by hand

Fix links

• More Than Meets The Eye
• Matrix

Novel titles

You realize that Novel titles are supposed to be underlined?

• Episode titles are in quotes
• Franchise titles are italicized
• Book titles are underlined.

It's basic MLA style.

(Foregoing it in the quote templates might not be a bad idea, since it is distracting... but I'm just saying.) -Derik 14:53, 3 July 2009 (EDT)

[1]. And italicizing franchise titles is something we came up with. —Interrobang 16:39, 3 July 2009 (EDT)

Shattered Glass page moves

Don't move the last few by hand yet, or you'll mess up Derik's bot fixing all the links on them. --Jeysie 21:15, 6 August 2009 (EDT)

Kingdom Hearts

I just discovered that you used to edit at the KHwiki, where I am now a mod, but apparently stopped two years ago. As far as I can tell, there was nothing factually wrong with your edits, so I can't imagine that you were blocked; I guess you stopped being interested in the project or something, like I've done with wikipedia. However, if you would be willing, I would like to strongly encourage you to come back - in all fairness to the other frequent editors, most of them are there to bandy about on the talk pages and blogs, and only a few editors are actually working to clean up, expand, and correct the multitude of articles. We could really use your help, so if you ever feel like it, please don't hesitate to come over. Cheers!KrytenKoro 03:59, 7 August 2009 (EDT)

I was blocked because the only admin back then was a gigantic tool and I frequently disagreed with him. Sure, I'm willing to help, but I'd need unblocking. —Interrobang 12:13, 7 August 2009 (EDT)

I'll talk to one of the admins, and I'll notify you as soon as you're unblocked. Thanks!KrytenKoro 00:22, 8 August 2009 (EDT)

In the meantime, I've just registered a new account. I don't think anybody will notice or care, not is there an actual policy against this (or anything regarding what warrants banning, evidently). —Interrobang 01:08, 8 August 2009 (EDT)

The only non-vandal editor we've had to block while I've been there went crazy over something and started cussing at everyone, turned out to be lying about having sisters (which she was sockpuppeting as) and trying to get sympathy for being pregnant and other fake sob stories. And even then, the current admins spent weeks trying to defuse the situation. So, if you can survive at tfwiki, I can't possibly imagine you getting blocked at the KHwiki again.KrytenKoro 02:28, 8 August 2009 (EDT)

I didn't piss you off at khwiki, did I? You don't seem to edit anymore.KrytenKoro 00:53, 22 August 2009 (EDT)

No. I just haven't had a lot of motivation. —Interrobang 02:42, 22 August 2009 (EDT)

Would you happen to have the 358/2 Days Ultimania? Heartstation used to have scans, but their site crashed and they lost most of them. Specifically, I'm looking for a scan of the page that details the stats of Roxas's weapons.67.175.13.87 00:18, 8 January 2010 (EST)

Parentheticals and franchise of origin

...alright, you and Monzo need to talk, because we can't be re-moving these and changing all the links every three months.--Rosicrucian^Talk 01:50, 15 August 2009 (EDT)

It's okay. I just stopped adding 'em to the Bot's queue awhile ago when I noticed that the same pages kept moving back and forth. -Derik 02:55, 22 August 2009 (EDT)

Er- to clarify... that wasn't a judgment about right/wrong (though I tend to disagree with !?'s stance on the disambigs) it was a recognition that the pages keep moving. (Thought I should say something, 'cuz my comment could come off as rude otherwise. I try not to be be unintentionally rude.) -Derik 03:38, 22 August 2009 (EDT)

Yeah, okay

...I'm not gonna nuke any more of these for you until you start removing the links to them before you slap the template on them.--Rosicrucian^Talk 01:54, 7 September 2009 (EDT)

Don't blank image descriptions. If there's nothing there but "Importing Image File", add {{recovery|5|Needs description and copyright tag}}. This also removes it from Special:Uncategorizedimages. - SanityOrMadness 13:56, 12 September 2009 (EDT)

Watermarked images

I don't recall us ever having a policy against watermarked images. A watermarked image is better than none; at most, we should be marking them as "to be replaced". If there was a discussion about this, I missed it. -- Repowers 18:55, 13 September 2009 (EDT)

...yeah. Why are you doing this? --M Sipher 19:10, 13 September 2009 (EDT)

Because it's deeply lame to steal content from other websites and then essentially admit we're doing so? —Interrobang 19:41, 16 September 2009 (EDT)

"Roadhog"

I don't get why he had to be moved - in the comics, he's introduced as 'Randy "Roadhog" Horton', Randy being his name, "Roadhog" being his nickname. Why should we have to "pick one and stick with it"? --Emvee 13:41, 15 September 2009 (EDT)

It makes for ugly and silly titles. We don't do "Samuel James "Sam" Witwicky" or "Cyrus "The Colossus" Rhodes". Pick the most common name for the character, use it, and then expand the name in the article. —Interrobang 19:41, 16 September 2009 (EDT)

Okay, I get that, in which case I'd press for 'Randy Horton' since that's his name, or just plain 'Roadhog'. 'Roadhog Horton' doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Besides, if it's ugly, silly titles you're against, Randy "Roadhog" Horton has nothing on Rorza, the Rocket-cycle Racer from Rigel III - which is - again - exactly how he's introduced in the comic. --Emvee 09:22, 17 September 2009 (EDT)
