Welcome
Hi, welcome to TYPE-MOON Wiki!

Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything! -- EGGS (Talk) 09:46, June 26, 2012

Tabs
I've seen the experimentation you've been doing with tabs and subpages and such over on the Karna related pages, and while I do appreciate the effort, I personally disagree with the idea. I feel the result doesn't look very good, and the page won't flow well with the rest of the wikiing, if you get what I mean? Karna/etc is rather cumberstone to type out and link in other pages, especially since whenever a character is referred to, more often than not, it is to a specific version of the character. For example, we'd probably get no links towards the Karna parent, with them instead going to the specific versions. Also, while Servant characters can be based on the same Heroic Spirit, they are technically not the same character. The Karna in F/A is technically a separate character from the Karna in CCC, even though they are the same Heroic Spirit and use the same design as a base, so I feel uncomfortable with treating them as if they were just variants of the same character. (and that is not even getting into the two Arthurs who are completely different genders or the two Vlads who are nearly nothing alike) Not to mention this whole tabs and subpages thing will primarily apply solely to Servants who appear in multiple settings, and thus the pages with the tabs would look out of place next to most of the pages on the wiki.--Otherarrow (talk) 15:03, May 7, 2013 (UTC)


 * I can see how it could work well in theory, but it doesn't really function that well in application. There are linking issues and searching issues, only a few characters using it would make it seem out of place, and they are technically different characters as Otherarrow said, making it potentially more confusing than helpful. I think disambiguation pages and mentioning them in the lead is enough. EGGS (talk) 15:59, May 7, 2013 (UTC)


 * Well it was worth a shot to see if the tabbing system works, lets keep the tabbing template for now, just in case if we're going to use it in future.Nikonu (talk) 11:43, May 8, 2013 (UTC)

Data Collection
Given that the majority of the Plus Period entries are just updated Data Collection entries that vary only slightly, I figure it would be best to just combine them using the switch template (like A-B-A(JP)-B(JP)). "I Don't Understand" seems to be the only unique Data Collection entry, so it would cut down on have to double up on pages where both versions actually contain something relevant.

Name
Are you sure it's being used in the context of a name there? The word being used is simply "Buddha" in Google Translate, with some alternate suggestions of that name. The actual name is "釈迦牟尼" according to JWikipedia. EGGS (talk) 13:54, January 27, 2015 (UTC)
 * The Fate/EXTRA material refers Buddha as, but it also refers it as enlightened one. As for 釈尊, Google is sort of right; I think google refers him as the Gautama Buddha which is Sakyamuni sage of the Sakyas. Nikonu (talk) 14:31, January 27, 2015 (UTC)

Unknown Mess ups
Hey not to be Ratting or anything but There's this unknown, 76.232.41.49, making funny edits on the Shirou Emiya page. Palantian (talk) 12:21, May 11, 2015 (UTC)
 * It's best to report this to EGG.Nikonu (talk) 13:11, May 11, 2015 (UTC)

Command Seals
Hey Nikonu, I noticed you're the one that adds the Command Seal pictures, So I was wondering if you could do one for Atram Galiast. Hawkeye2701 (talk) 20:07, May 13, 2015 (UTC)
 * The one on Atram page is presentable for now. It's best to wait for the animation material book for a better quality. Nikonu (talk) 21:51, May 13, 2015 (UTC)


 * Ah, I never realised that's how we got them. Fair enough. Thanks for the reply.Hawkeye2701 (talk) 22:24, May 13, 2015 (UTC)

GO Art
If you feel like it, here's a collection of all the GO character stages: Imgur. EGGS (talk) 15:17, July 31, 2015 (UTC)
 * Cool, I haven't seen all the artworks but I'm really digging Benkei illustration. I'll cropped them when I have a bit more time. Nikonu (talk) 15:34, July 31, 2015 (UTC)

Extra material
Those entries are still in editing, so it would probably be best to hold off on using them until they've placed them on their site proper. EGGS (talk) 18:09, August 16, 2015 (UTC)

Hello!

It seems that after you edited the Kuonji Alice page the "switching between the character pictures" broke. If I go into the edit history and compare the last two edit it becomes possible to switch again.

I would restore it but I don't know how.

Fate/Apocrypha Ruler picture
Why you denied Fate/Apocrypha's design of Ruler from character's infobox? Napul (talk) 18:19, September 8, 2015 (UTC)
 * Since Fate/grand Order has illustrated Ruler in various clothing, posting Fate/Apocrypha illustration seems out of place. Nikonu (talk) 21:50, September 8, 2015 (UTC)


 * That's pretty absurd reason. It's like you said that we should delete Aoko's Tsukihime design because there is now her desing from Mahoyo. Ruler's Apocrypha design is still one of her main designs. It definitely should be posted as well. Napul (talk) 22:19, September 8, 2015 (UTC)


 * I didn't delete the image, it's in the appearance section. Secondly, I'm the user who provided uploaded the image in the first place and it took time to crop the image, I'm not stupid enough to delete it in the first place. Argh it pointless to argue with you since you've already undo the page. Nikonu (talk) 07:00, September 9, 2015 (UTC)
 * The image reflecting the primary work of the character (Apocrypha in Joan's case) generally should be the main image unless an alternative shows the character better (i.e. Enkidu's updated Grand Order art compared to the 2008 art). EGGS (talk) 14:35, September 9, 2015 (UTC)

Cropped Images
Will you be uploading Leonidas and Sanson from the images I loaded up a while ago? Zahadrin (talk) 19:32, September 9, 2015 (UTC)

Tabs (2)
Using tabs for alternate versions would be fine, but those wikis that split up tiny sections of content onto different pages are annoying. For ones where they could share sections like "Identity", it could just use the transclude section function like with Saber and Saber Alter's Heaven's Feel Section. EGGS (talk) 16:53, September 11, 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm can't really see any benefit to making them sub-pages. The tabs on other wikis help for quick switching between relevant, directly connected pages, but these are just being used to switch to versions separate enough that they're mostly not going to share any content. Functionality-wise, it doesn't really change anything for the better or worse, so I'm not really sure if the current naming scheme needs to change. EGGS (talk)

Fate/GO Encyclopedia
Any translated info on Caligula, Edward Teach, Saint Martha, or Marie Antoinette yet? Zahadrin (talk) 08:31, December 3, 2015 (UTC)

Character template
Rather than bother trying to edit that template, we should just move it to a portable template like Template:NP. The only issue is that it won't allow for anything like Template:Servant. EGGS (talk) 18:23, May 17, 2016 (UTC)
