Goals
A more of a NTS on what I want to do on the Wiki when I have time:
 * 1) Fill in the Fate/Kaleid Noble Phantasm Pages with gifs of them being used in the anime.
 * 2) Add in the participating Servants in all the Grand Orders' Holy Grail Wars in the Fate/Grand Order article.
 * 3) Fill out all Servant pages' story summaries, appearance descriptions and ability sections (starting with Fragments Servants, then Apocrypha and Strange Fake Servants as there are already translated works out on the web on these).

Redirecting
If you want to redirect CDA, just use clear out the page and use #Redirect Pagename. Keep the categories for organization. When linking to sections like CDA, try to use a redirect. That way, if the section is ever split out we can just change the redirect without having to change every instance of it. I would switch the section of ADA to "Variations and techniques", merge in Fax Caelestis, and add in a section for Nero Bride's "Nuptiae Domus Aurea" even if it's not really a separate NP.

 * When linking to sections in pages like Noble Phantasms, it would be best to link from the redirect rather than link to the section. Like in the case of Zabaniya, if it's ever decided to split them out, it won't be necessary to go around changing every link that goes to that section. In the case of needing to change something like a title translation, we can use "what links here" for the redirect and much more easily find which links need to be changed. Also, words that aren't proper nouns don't really need to be capitalized. It's not a big deal either way, but something like "potion of youth" or "steel pole" don't need to be fully capitalized. For common words like "magical energy", I generally wouldn't bother capitalizing every single instance of it either, but that's more of a preference thing. I wouldn't bother going back to change everything, but just something for the future. EGGS (talk) 19:22, March 17, 2017 (UTC)


 * Alright thanks for letting me know man! I'll keep these in mind. By the way, is there a way to go to the actual pages of the redirects so I can add the categories to it? For example, adding techniques to Triple-Linked Crane Wings since if I add it in the Kanshou and Bakuya page, it'll be like adding techniques to the swords Kanshou and Bakuya instead.

 * You can add "?redirect=no" to the end of the link, or click on the redirect and then go to the top of the page and you'll see "Redirected from [redirect]". Just click that link. EGGS (talk) 20:15, March 17, 2017 (UTC)

Berserker
On the Berserker article, you accidentally combined some entries, like Nightingale and Ibaraki. You may want to consider using the text editor rather than the visual editor. EGGS (talk) 19:02, March 24, 2017 (UTC)

Just noticed that you just TLS Mata Hari's and Boudicca's profiles from the Mats. I just wanted to express my gratitude for you going out of your way to do that, as someone who is unable to read Japanese being able to actually read more about these characters is just awesome. While this is a little embarrassing,  I just wanted to let you know of my appreciation for this. Thank you for your work and I hope to see more.

Minor Question
Out of curiosity, Clyton, did you intend to leave the 'nowiki's in the galleries? Inept Wiki User (talk) 23:52, April 27, 2017 (UTC)
 * It's a side effect of the Visual Editor, same with bumping the references down a line. EGGS (talk) 00:19, April 28, 2017 (UTC)
 * Had a feeling that might be the case. Annoying, isn't it? Inept Wiki User (talk) 00:24, April 28, 2017 (UTC)

More Minor Questions
Hello Clyton

Would it be OK to ask you something concerning the Skill lists from earlier?

Inept Wiki User (talk) 13:43, June 21, 2017 (UTC)

Yeah, what's up?

N/A 22:42, June 21, 2017 (UTC)Clyton

With regards to the lists I started making a little while back for analysis of Skills, which you commented on, I've finally finished the first phase of construction and have got all of the NIAs and singular instances into the tables (at least I hope that is the case for now). There are still a number of tweaks required for Details/Notes, the lists for group-specifics and body/soul-bases and a few changes for the access/modification section. At the moment though, I'm too burned out to continue construction for the time being.

Apologies for asking this, but so far as you can see, are there any examples which have been missed from the NIAs and individual-specific lists, and have any errors crept in? Also, are there any notable discrepancies that you'd like to point out or suggestions to raise before I continue with construction?

Inept Wiki User (talk) 00:47, June 22, 2017 (UTC)

I think everything's fine. I didn't notice any errors during my scan over it. Don't have any suggestions really.

Article text
Could you try to make the text more "encyclopedic" when adding it? Just adding the straight wording from the materials often reads weirdly in the context of an encyclopedia. In practice, it really should be changed to make it so it's your own wording while very specific phrases are in direct quotes, but I would settle for just changing certain sentences to read better. Direct text should be added to the reference pages in the Encyclopedia section instead. EGGS (talk) 00:02, July 18, 2017 (UTC)

I wouldn't mind doing it but only after the encyclopedia references are added to the pages since I'm not well-versed in making and adding them. So until that, I'm adding the direct text as a placeholder until someone edits it after. Also, since my translations for the mats aren't really placed anywhere else on the web (I'm translating them personally on my documents then adding the direct text onto the wiki), I would have to continue doing this so that others can see the official text before making the encyclopedia references.

 * You can add it as a reference on the page itself with . Someone can always port them to the other page later. EGGS (talk) 02:54, July 18, 2017 (UTC)

The (long awaited) identities of Riyo's Servants
Hello Clyton,

I'm a regular on Fate-related wikia and I appreciate all the works you and the others are doing (for some reasons you even have information the Japanese wikia doesn't have, which is very surprising considering the popularity of this series is high, well, in its native country!) Anyway, straight to the subject if you will :

Can you provide sources for the True Names of the 3 Servants by Riyo please? I tried to made research myself but my Japanese is a bit limited and I can only find speculative blog entries, dated from June, not even early July or later.

Thank you in advance !
