User talk:Retro7

Hi Retro7 -- we are excited to have Fairy Tail Wiki as part of the Wikia community!

Starting a new wiki can be overwhelming, but don't worry, the Wikia Community Team is here to help! We have put together a few guides to getting started. They say imitation is the best form of flattery so absolutely check out other wikis on Wikia for ideas on layout, ways to organize your content, etc. We are all one big family at Wikia and the most important thing is to have fun!


 * Our guide to Getting Started gives you 5 things you can do right now to set your wiki up for success
 * We also put together some Advice On Starting a Wiki which provides a more a in-depth look at some of the important things you should consider when building a wiki
 * If you are new to wikis in general than we recommend checking our new user FAQ

If you need help (which trust me we ALL do) you can access our full in-depth help at Help Wikia, or email us through our contact form. Also, you can visit our live #wikia chat channel any time. A lot of the veteran "Wikians" hang out here so its a good place if come if you want to get some advice or simply make friends.

Now, go edit! We look forward to seeing this project thrive!

Best wishes, Angela Beesley

Hello
Hi Retro7. I'm Wendy, a helper at wikia. It's good to see you starting to work on this wiki - I love your main page image. Don't forget to categorize the pages you create to help keep them organized! If you have any questions, or I can help with anything, please let me know on my talk page! -- Wendy (talk ) 23:30, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi there
Hello, this is Haru Mclean Namikaze, telling you that if you want to make a person a sysop, go to Special:UserRights, and check off the boxes of the searched person name to give them different status'. I'm pretty sure only Bureaucrats can do it. Good luck. The One and Only Haru Mclean Namikaze HaruElie | NaruHina | Kanji: ナミカゼ ハ ル マクリーン, Romaji: Namikaze Haru Makurīn

Hello...?
Hello, you're the admin of this wikia, right? I know you may be busy, but how much do you actually come on this anymore?

Of course I do Retro7 21:54, June 7, 2010 (UTC)

So you edit here often eh...?
You know, the other Wikia you started has faithful editors. I'm just here to say that could you possibly look into making some of them beauracrats. You've got peeps here ready to help out, man.

Dude, you're the only sysop/bureaucrat on this one too?! WTH!

Sorry!
I'm new to this wikia. Actually, I've never created a wiki account before, so I didn't know the rules and created a bunch of new articles.

Here are the ones I created: Kana Alberona| Magic and Abilities (I edited this one heavily to make it more broad... sorry! The Dragon Slayer page still exists, though!)| Ice-Magic| Oracion Seis| Light Team|

I don't even know if this is the right place to tell you all this... Again, I apologize for messing up.

I don't even know if this is considered the forum...

Its a discussion page actully though it pretty close to it. All the articles created on the wikia have one. But as for missing up. It's alright, nothing that can't be fixed later. We all usually misinterpret the information of the series. Just correct it when you find your mistake. No fuss no muss. Keep up the good work dude. Oh and for future ref, when on the discussion page each each mess with a (Retro7 02:24, 20 May 2009 (UTC)) This will tell me who you are and when the message was posted. K? Have any other question just tell me here Retro7 02:24, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Okay.. Thanks for understanding. Er, I don't know how to end my message with the time/date that I posted (is there an automatic thing to type, or do you have to type it all out manually?), but I do know how to end with my name =D User:Baithin

Ah sorry that came out wrong. Basically just type this--->(~) four times at the end of your messages and the site will the rest.Retro7 17:23, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Retro, COME ON d00d
You have a whole 'nother wiki that you're leading. Could you please come and look into what they're saying? Me and http://reborn.wikia.com/wiki/User:Mastermarth4 Mastermarth4] want to take some of your load off. Could you make us bureaucrats? A Wiki staff member left the instructions on your userpage or talk page. Mastermarth has nearly 350~ edits, and I've made close to 750~ edits. I think we're way more than qualified. The community's spoken out, and they like us too! So could you please pay a little more attention to your other commitment? Navyblack15 02:08, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

I know I know, am still trying to figure out how though (damn Wikia pretty vague on the instructions). Please have patience with me, once I do you two will be the first one I contact.Retro7 02:15, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

There I think that did it. If it hasn't, please message me again and I'll check into it. Retro7 17:42, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Sorry to bother everyone
I figured here would be one of the most visited discussion pages, so I have a question for everyone. For the Fairy Tail Guild page, where it lists all the members, I'm trying to get at least pictures, if not separate pages, for all of the minor characters. I'm trying to find all the guild cards and putting them next to their names. If it's not too much trouble, can someone else help me get some pictures to add, as well as all the members who aren't up there yet? User:Baithin

Nevermind... I think I got everybody :O If anyone notices a Guild Member that I missed, please let me know. User:Baithin

great work on the FT page im leaving to train right now but i will check if someone is missing tomorrow =). User:Gray_CS

I'm going to get started on creating the Ur page. If there are any mistakes that anyone notices, please fix them!^^ Baithin 19:03, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Hitman reborn
Hey Retro7, whats up? We, Navyblack15 and I would like to become admins of the Reborn Wiki and take a load off your shoulders. Since he and I have joined, the pages on this site have tripled in number. We can help maintain the site while you are off doing whatever you do. With admin privileges, we can delete the unneeded pages and organize the site (you would be surprised at how much organization the site needs). You don't have to do it all, your not god, we don't expect you to, we expect to take into consideration the well-being of the Reborn! wiki and help us help you. Thank you for your time and I hope to hear from you soon, rather than in another month, I don't think I would last...

Your fellow wiki-er, Mastermarth4

Need Some Help?
Hey you're in charge here right? I have helped build this site for awhile and I wanted to know how I fix the names sometimes. I know Fairy Tail has issues still with the names a lot so when I learn a real name/surname of a character, how do I fix said character's page?

I offer my services to help clean the site up (I pretty much do it for D Grayman wiki)

Ah sure thing Retro7 23:43, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

"Your[sic] not god"

 * I'm just back again to say that I see you're still the only sysop/bureaucrat. Maybe you should do one or two promotions to admin? It seems like you've got a team just as committed as your other one. See ya for now. Navyblack15 03:09, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Problem
how do you add other title in magic and abiltys

Upgrade Time
Hello Retro7, I am User Talk:Shock Dragoon (The guy who created the Charbox/Quote/Synopsises/Episode List), and I have noticed that were going to have to upgrade soon with the anime coming out. People always mess uo the Charbox on me.

How do I become an administrator so I can protect the template pages? I am an administrator at ravemaster.wikia if it means anything. I basically helped build the site.

Also, shouldn't we upgrade the site to include the names given in the english manga (I know this has been debated to death) but it does say that those are the offical translation. You know, Lluvia is actually Juvia and Gazille is actually Gajeel and such. We're going to have to make this jump sooner or later and it will be easier to do it now before the anime comes out.

Fairy Tail will be popular and more people will visit the site and we're going to have to moderate it like me and GohanRULEZ at ravemaster.wikia which is technically our sibling site.

Thanks

Yoza ShockDragon, sorry for not responding sooner, life and all. But firstly, thanks for all your hard work on the wikia. I really notice it in the update page and really appreciate your contributions. Secondly for the administrator, I have to do that myself since am the founder of this wikia. And trust me dude you've totally earned it, so I'll get on that. As for the naming yes we should include the English names but not make them the main naming for the pages. Basically do it like the One Piece Wikia and their translation (i.e: Romanized name, translated name). Hopefully this'll clear up a few thing with the translators. That said hope you continue helping with the site and if you got any other questions, please don't be afraid to ask. Retro7 22:43, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

I see what you mean too, however, I have noticed that romanization/japanese names on a Charbox annoy people. Like I said above some of the mistranslated are somewhat cooler but it's sort of like if you made a series and no one was using the right names for your characters andmissed out on the meaning of the name. I say we should just Hiro himself says they are offical so there is nothing we can do for being stubborn and, basically sore losers (man Mist Gun is really Mystogan? Translaters were really off there). Also, did you see my "Guild Wars" page I made? That has to be my best work yet! It is awesome. Shock Dragoon


 * Don't mean to intrude, but who's said that those names in a Charbox annoy people? I don't see the big problem with them. Also, I actually created the Charbox page though I copied the format from OP wikia - with their permission, of course. Dalyup! 09:09, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for the promotion, I will not let you down now. Shock Dragoon

Adminship
Ack, I don't know how to say this without sounding pretentious. Being as active and contributory as Shock Dragoon (I think we're the top two actually), I feel that'd it would be a good idea for me to made an administrator along with him. I believe we live under different clocks (myself UK, I think Shock's USA) so there would always be one of us around to check for vandals, for example. I'd also try improve it best as possible at the same, and I'm starting to understand this confusing wikicode. Dalyup! 17:44, 24 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Hmm, forgot about this. Can I have an answer any time soon? Dalyup! 17:27, October 12, 2009 (UTC)

question about one of your trivia facts on fairy tail wikia
i noticed that on lucy's triva page that she mentions that there is a draco steller spirit key and i was wondering what chapter that was in?


 * Edit* i found the chapter where natsu wants a dragon spirit but lucy doesnt say theres a draco key. she says that sprits aren't sparring partners, or something along those lines. so i deleted the segment until proven fact

Hello Admin
Hi, I'm Sxerks, from the Anime &amp; Manga Hub

I'm asking admins of Anime-related wikis if you would add this link   to the bottom of your SIDEBAR. Its a link to the Anime & Manga Hub on Wikia.

We are currently working on adding basic pages as well as a list of anime wikis on wikia.

The Hub also serves as a place to link to common actors, artists, and anime terms like Rie Kugimiya which you can link to in your articles.

We Also have a monthly Anime/Manga spotlight on our Main Page. Read about it here.

I've add this to both your and Shock Dragoon talk pages.

Looks like you need a logo(Wiki.png).

Change an Article Name
Hi, I'm an Unregistred Contributor. Can you change the name of the article of Lyon from Reitei Lyon to Lyon Bastia please? Thank you!

Wondering about episodes
I was wondering if you knew any codes to get episodes info boxes, like this one http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Enter:_Naruto_Uzumaki! ... I'm willing to update the episodes section but I need an episode info code for it. So I was wondering if you had any or knew any to make one.

Thank you :)

Names
Names like Gerard and Edoras have been recently confirmed as Jellal and Edolas, but the articles on this page still have these spellings. I am trying to change all "Gerards" to "Jellals" and i was wondering if you could tell all the users that these are the spellings to be used.

Sidebar Logo
Um, Hi, If I made a logo for the sidebar, would you put it there?

-Dimomarg

Sure we've been trying to get a logo for a long while now Retro7 19:43, April 27, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, the new logo is ready.
http://i40.tinypic.com/t69zxz.png there. If you need logo stuff for the wiki, feel free to ask me.

-Dimomarg


 * Update*: Figured out how to upload it myself, and did it. please protect it.

Ah thanks so much for the logo dude. Really appreciate it. Make us look much more official now. Really once again, thank you! Retro7 16:11, May 17, 2010 (UTC)

JapanFan
The fairytail.japanfan.net admin (or whatever the boss' title is) wanted to know if you would mention here that his site has the episodes and manga there. I mainly saying this cause I recently started using the site and I recommend it, it's got up to date episodes, and the most recent chapter. - WhiteArmor - (Talk) - 10:07, May 14, 2010 (UTC)

Hello?
Are you still working here? I've left a message on your talk page and you didn't answer, and you've been gone for a while. - WhiteArmor - (Talk) - 00:35, May 17, 2010 (UTC)

Still here sorry for taking so long to get back with ya. School finals and all. I saw the site and would love to link to this wikia. Any fansite of Fairy Tail is a friend of ours. Retro7 16:07, May 17, 2010 (UTC)

OK, I've added the link to the Episodes and Volumes and Chapters pages. - WhiteArmor - (Talk) - 00:53, May 18, 2010 (UTC)

 * Currently there are 50th episodes, list of them you can be seen on Episodes page.
 * Still, I don't like your former contribution. I don't understand the reason, why you delete pictures and add few, which doesn't have connection with character. If it will repeat, I will be forced to consider this as vandalism, a give you a ban. You can regarded this information as a warning.

Hi there!

I have a little question to ask and I hope u can reply.

New Policy Voting Going On
Hello, there is a voting going on currently about a few new policies being added to our wiki. I am encouraging all users to vote and the results of the discussion will be posted on our Community Corner(Wiki Activity Side bar). I sent this message to many users through the use of a bot program on my computer so there is no need to respond to me directly on my talk page. I look forward to all of your votes, thanks.

Vote
Thanks for your vote, but why did you add all of that black and yellow span stuff to the page, it took me a while to delete all of that.

I didn't do that, the site must be generating it. Retro7 20:55, May 21, 2011 (UTC)

Okay, thanks.

hey how about we don;t see the major battle for zancrow and kain??
