Grand Order
Hello EGGS

Work is progressing on Grand Order. More of the tables are close to template-ready level. I was going to put in sections for certain Singularities resulting from certain FGO events. Do you have any preferences as to where they are put?

I was checking for references earlier for Camelot's Setting information. I haven't been able to find the page on Nasu's blog which was the source given for the background information, so I might have to check the individual chapter summaries for references.

 * Events can probably just go in a secondary section. If you need the English version, you can find it here. EGGS (talk) 23:45, August 4, 2017 (UTC)
 * OK. With regards to the events, how about putting them under 'Singularities (Secondary)', with 'Singularities' or 'Singularities (Primary)' for the main ones and a Singularities anchor under the first? (also, EoR:EX to Secondary?)
 * That version was the one I was using to construct Camelot's Setting section, however I haven't yet been able to reach the blog page which it was translated from.
 * Also, what is your opinion regarding this move:, ?
 * Inept Wiki User (talk) 11:18, August 6, 2017 (UTC)
 * Probably just "Other singularities" would be fine to differentiate them. Nasu's blog is all screwed up in going back to older pages. You might need to use something like the Wayback Machine. I would say that the info should be on both of those pages. We can probably scrap the nihongo templates on the FGO page and just link to the singularity sections though. EGGS (talk) 23:03, August 6, 2017 (UTC)
 * Understood. The anchors are in place for the links. With regards to the version on the FGO page, would you like the previous stuff just with the Nihongo templates removed or a small condensed paragraph listing the primary singularities? Inept Wiki User (talk) 20:25, August 7, 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes, basically the same thing without the templates. EGGS (talk) 23:45, August 9, 2017 (UTC)
 * Quick question regarding events. Among this list, are there any non-singularity ones? Inept Wiki User (talk) 23:49, August 11, 2017 (UTC)
 * You'd have to go through each individually to check. They widely vary. I think Prisma is a Reality Marble, same with the Bunyan event. EGGS (talk) 14:24, August 12, 2017 (UTC)

Affiliation
Heya! I'm Otaku, an Admin on Type Moon Fate Fanon (http://tmfatefanon.wikia.com/wiki/Type-Moon_Fate_Fanon_Wiki). I was wondering if our two wiki's could become Affiliates? Fate Fanon could use advertisement to increase user count, and it would make it easier for people to find. Cya! Otakuknight 79 (talk) 00:48, August 22, 2017 (UTC)
 * I guess. EGGS (talk) 01:23, August 22, 2017 (UTC)

Sequence Morgan > Secace Morgan
You know that redirect page for Sequence Morgan? Can you rename it to Secace Morgan? I can't change it and an admin is required to do that. Let me know if you did it!

 * See Secace Morgan EGGS (talk) 01:23, August 22, 2017 (UTC)


 * Thanks! For that one, can you somehow remove the anti-unit and A rank NP categories since that was mistakenly labelled?
 * N/A 01:27, August 22, 2017 (UTC)Clyton
 * It looks like it might be both? I think the profile has one and the in-game NP status has a different one. No clue if that is mistake, or if one is the gun itself and the other is the combo attack? EGGS (talk) 01:33, August 22, 2017 (UTC)
 * Oh ok I see I see. Then yeah, even then you should remove it as that's about Secace Morgan. I'll put in the Anti-Unit/A rank for Secace since that's what it is referring to.

Demons
Hey EGGS. I was just wondering if anyone's thinking about doing something about using "Ma" for 魔 on the Demons page. 魔 is kind of a wide concept in a lot of TM works so I think it at least deserves its own English word. Zodiac21 (talk) 13:52, August 23, 2017 (UTC)
 * Yeah, not really sure how to handle the whole demon thing. It's so convoluted. They're not really the same thing, but do you think designating one kind as demon and one kind as devil might help? The whole page really needs to be nuked and done over from scratch. EGGS (talk) 19:01, August 23, 2017 (UTC)
 * I actually had that done before and changed 魔 to demon and 悪魔 to devil (as it is in F/HA iirc) but Fallacies had a problem with it and changed it all back. Maybe we should just change 魔 to something like "Fiend" since in terms of actual Japanese-to-English translation, 悪魔 to demon is correct and "devil" in English is almost always used in the singular case. Zodiac21 (talk) 03:40, August 24, 2017 (UTC)
 * That might fit. Certainly better than everything being called demon and way better than leaving it untranslated. EGGS (talk) 02:38, August 25, 2017 (UTC)

So, about those portable infoboxes ...
Hey hey :)

I'm a part of the Community Technical team here at FANDOM—and one of the co-sponsors of the Vanguard team. Last year, a couple of our members dropped by to help you with the conversion of your infoboxes from non-portable wikitext to portable XML.

I wanted to touch bases with you again today to see if we could get the process restarted. Since it's been about a year now, maybe we could begin by examining a few changes I made to Flightmare's designs from back then. (I also added a little code to your MediaWiki:Wikia.css in order to make MediaWiki pages and pre text in general show up a bit better on a black background. It was impossible to read parts of MediaWiki pages, since they have were displaying, on some lines, black text on a black background.)

If you go to User:CzechOut/Test, you'll see the current state of comparison between the two boxes.

While I've read your comments from 2016, maybe a fresh eye and a new round of comments would be helpful here in 2017. So let me just start with new questions.

How far off are we from what you'd like to see? What specific things can we do with the PI to help your community? -- CzechOut 21:04, August 28, 2017 (UTC)
 * If there is a way, I would like to integrate the Servant parameters sections, but I believe they said that wouldn't be feasible last year. Don't know if anything has changed since then. Some pages already use Template:Character2. I'm not sure how different it is from your version. Also, if you're familiar with templates, Template:WPlink has very weird spacing on mobile view. Any idea why? EGGS (talk) 22:12, August 28, 2017 (UTC)
 * Okay, I'll take a look at the Servants' parameters sections with fresh eyes. No promises that a new solution will be forthcoming, but I'll certainly look over the next few days.


 * As for WPlink, the problem was that it was misclassified. A "context-link" is something like Main -- where you intend for there to be a little space before and after a single line of text.  WPlink is meant to be an inline template, producing text that's integrated into a sentence. So I changed it to "Citation or reference", purged the page I was looking at, and everything snapped back into place. It may take up to 24 hours for all transclusions of WPlink to work properly, for caching reasons.


 * You may find it helpful to read community:Help:Template types to better understand how all the classifications work in Mercury. After all, template classification is done solely for the benefit of mobile devices. Your choice of template type makes no difference to your desktop view at all. -- CzechOut 23:39, August 28, 2017 (UTC)

Text size increase
Any idea why the Text Size on the Noble Phantasm Pages for the names and titles in the name box suddenly got larger so the long titles no longer fit? Zahadrin (talk) 00:35, August 30, 2017 (UTC)
 * Probably recent changes by the person in the section above. Might just be able to add a smaller secondary header instead of putting it all in the main one. EGGS (talk) 19:44, August 31, 2017 (UTC)

Minor Stuff
Hello EGGS

With regards to the character infoboxes, a number of them which have images under tabs are not displaying them on this end. Are they not displaying on your end as well?

 * Which pages are you not seeing them on? EGGS (talk) 19:57, September 15, 2017 (UTC)
 * It depends on which browser you are using; with Internet Explorer, images are missing and not appearing. Whereas google chrome seems fine. Nikonu (talk) 21:11, September 15, 2017 (UTC)
 * It would seem that was the case. Inept Wiki User (talk) 19:34, September 16, 2017 (UTC)
