Potential Insight to Apocrypha Servant list
Do we know if any of this is true or not? http://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?p=4476098 Zahadrin (talk) 03:44, December 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * It looks a bit too speculative to say anything definitive. It would be best to wait for a more proper translation. EGGS (talk) 12:18, December 16, 2012 (UTC)

Yggdramillennia
Sorry, its written both ways in the Apocrypha article, being Yggdramellennia for the group and Yggdramillena for most of the surnames. Anyway, save yourself the trouble, I'll go round the articles and fix up the links when I've renamed them all. Don't want to hassle ya with my unfinished work.

Right, think that's everything properly named and categorised more or less... Thanks for updating which war it is. I heard Apocrypha was still based in Japan, so a good thing I didn't bother trying to put that in, woulda been way off. Still, if there's anything else to write up, let me know.

Well some eidts have been made to Danik and Fiore already which I can't verify. So if you could keep an eye on them to avoid fanfiction articles I'd appreciate it. In the meantime, sleep is required. Hawkeye2701 (talk) 01:13, December 18, 2012 (UTC)

Apocrypha
Ah. My mistake, EGGS. Thank you for clarifying that. I was suspicious, because none of the other Masters had theirs listed. 63.230.196.208 21:04, December 19, 2012 (UTC)

I won't make any changes myself, because I don't know where to find the Apocrypha material, but a non-registered user changed Roche Flyn Yggdmillennia's gender to male. Arrancar109 (Talk)  00:15, January 9, 2013 (UTC)
 * Using Google Translate on the Japanese Wikipedia profile gave something along the line of androgynous boy, so I assume it's correct. EGGS (talk) 01:37, January 9, 2013 (UTC)


 * Ah. Thank you for clarifying, EGGS. I wasn't sure, which is why I didn't do anything. Arrancar109 (Talk)  21:54, January 11, 2013 (UTC)

Wiki background
Just letting you know that Wikia has fixed the gap on the Theme Designer's Moon wallpaper. The current background should be updated. — Wi Ki AN 17:27, January 20, 2013 (UTC)

Reality Marble info source
Quick question: where did you get that information on Reality Marble's generally being limited to the Caster class? I can't find a source anywhere.Gore17 (talk) 03:20, January 31, 2013 (UTC)
 * It's from Extra sometime during the Caster week. EGGS (talk) 16:20, January 31, 2013 (UTC)

Arcueid's Personalities
In EGGS, could not separate the personality of Arcueid in two more sessions, one for Red Arcueid and the other for Archetype: Earth, The same manner as Shiki Ryougi? This two personalities are vastly different from the current personality of Arcueid.
 * It would be fine to do so, so long as it isn't in broken English. It is not something you can accomplish, so please do not try again. I or someone else may get to it eventually. EGGS (talk) 22:39, February 4, 2013 (UTC)

Family
A mere suggestion but alot of type-moon characters are related so I think it would great to have a drop down box like the servant stats to show the list of spouses or family.
 * I've toyed around with something like that before, but it never comes out looking decent. If you think you can get something decent looking, feel free to go ahead with it. EGGS (talk) 17:15, February 6, 2013 (UTC)


 * I've played around with the drop down menu, check out Kiritsugu Emiya page and give me your opinion.Nikonu (talk)

Character ages?
Why aren't any of the character ages showing up on their profile sections? Is there any particular reason? It's just I've determined the ages of certain characters in Kara no Kyoukai and I've been trying to input their age on their pages. I noticed that other wikis have their age included depending on signficant events but for some reason, nothing seems to be happening when I try to add them on their pages.

DementedP (talk) 07:59, March 17, 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't think there is an age parameter. You can add one by editing Template:Character, but I'd just stick them in the birthday parameter instead in cases where they have one listed. EGGS (talk) 16:16, March 17, 2013 (UTC)

Character Quotes
Hello, but can I ask if are character quotes suppose to be in character pages? Since, mostly, all anime/manga/game characters have quotes right? I'm just asking/suggesting. Dynasty101Warriors 06:03, April 2, 2013 (UTC)
 * If you mean a dedicated quote section, stuff like that and trivia are just unnecessary fluff. All such sections do is bring about people sticking in each quote they find witty instead of something substantial. If you mean specific, meaningful quotes to headline the article or a section of it, those are fine. EGGS (talk) 16:59, April 2, 2013 (UTC)

Kara no Kyoukai Plot Summaries Replacement
I just realized that while a lot of info is included on the main "Kara no Kyoukai" page  to summarize the plot in each movie, there's incomplete information (most of which I can tell are from Wikipedia). So instead, I'd like to propose the idea of using plot blurbs that only mentions the premise of each movie without flooding it with a huge summary for each film. It's a lot less busy, and it could work as a better alternative than literally outlining what happened in each movie (not to mention the fact that some bits of info are incomplete on the current page). I found these official blubrs of each film from the Rightstuf page that sells the official DVD (directly link by Aniplex USA as their main distributor), in which it details the premise of each film without spoiling anything: http://www.rightstuf.com/1-800-338-6827/catalogmgr/fekV5UitF-n9pxGAxZ/browse/item/96513/4/0/0

What do you think? Should we switch the current plot summaries with the ones in that link instead? I personally think they work better in giving an idea about the plot of each movie without spoiling much of it, not to mention they're the best well-written blurbs I've seen for the films. People can just visit the individual pages of each character if they want to know what happens (or they can just watch the movies) and this also helps to avoid having so much clutter on the main page. I mean even on the Tsukihime and Fate/Stay Night page they only have the premise without utterly summarizing the story so I think it should be the same for Kara no Kyoukai in this case.

EDIT - Alternatively, if you don't like the short length of those blurbs, I can offer the text used in the official booklet from the recent DVD release of the movies. The booklet offers a good summary and/or premise of each film, and they're a bit longer too. Up to you though, if you think the ones on that site are good enough for us to use and replace the current lengthy summaries, then that's cool, but if you think that we need something longer, I can offer the official text pages used in the Aniplex DVD release since I own a copy anyway.

 * It's fine to shorten the summaries, but they shouldn't be directly copied from elsewhere (unless it's a Wiki with the proper content licenses and whatnot). EGGS (talk) 20:12, April 14, 2013 (UTC)


 * The link I gave is the official distributor that Aniplex links to on their "Garden Of Sinners" site if one wishes to purchase the official DVD, so I think that's pretty legit in that regard (the site is also Aniplex USA's main distributor for anime BD/DVDs eg. Bakemonogatari, Fate/Zero, etc.) If you're not comfortable enough with using the short summaries given on that site, there's also the alternative I proposed, which is to basicallly use the plot summary/teaser of each film that was included within the booklet of the official DVD boxset itself. If you can't decide, I can provide a sample of the plot summary from the booklet to give a better idea of how it's written in comparison to the short summaries on that site.  DementedP (talk) 00:22, April 15, 2013 (UTC)
 * I just meant the text shouldn't be directly copied. It's better for it to be at least semi-original when taking info from non-wiki sites. If you use the summaries as a base, and then add enough relevant stuff to make it notably different, that would probably be good enough. EGGS (talk) 00:45, April 15, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for your appreciation. :D

Actually, my main source would be Beast's Lair, where many players have played Fate/Extra CCC already.Jc778778 (talk) 13:15, April 23, 2013 (UTC)

Gilgamesh tabs?
I've noticed Type-moon wikia has separated every incarnation of Gilgamesh. While they are different incarnation, they are the same identity. I'm suggesting we should create a parent tab template, this way we can separate tabs for profile, roles and abilities.

Example for tabs: http://bleach.wikia.com/wiki/Ichigo_Kurosaki

Tell me what do you think?
