[edit] Spoilers

I was wondering, how far should we go with spoilers? And should we make a little thing that says, 'This article contains spoilers'? —This unsigned comment was made by LoneWolf 5 (talk • contribs) on 15:21, 13 February 2007.

Erm.. Whoever wrote this: I think it's a requirement to warn people about spoilers. So yes. For how far? As far as you want, as long as there's a warning called "Spoilers begin here" or something, even though some people read spoilers when they're not that far (like me ><). -Dubtiger, 6:31pm EST.
I'll copy my advanced spoiler template from en.anime to here and put up some info on spoilers. Use {{spoiler|start}} to start a spoiler section, and {{spoiler|end}} to end a spoiler section. It'll start displaying correctly when I copy the template. Dantman (Talk) 10:18, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Main Page

I was wondering if I should slightly change the mission statment. I came up with it but when I looked at it when I came on I felt that it was saying that we don't like people who know nothing about Naruto who are the people that we want to TEACH about Naruto. Sorry that I haven't been on much French project. -LoneWolf 5

Well, then. Time for some disassembling: Dantman (Talk) 00:04, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
Original Revision 1 (Note: Refresh a few times to see how this works.)
We are the Narutopedia. We are the Narutopedia.
The community encyclopedia about Naruto.
We like people who are Naruto crazy. We love naruto, anime, and manga fans.
We don't like people who think that they know what Naruto is and don't. And wish to inform everyone else to.
Our goal, To become the best Naruto information site out there. Our goal; To become the best Naruto information site out there.
BELIEVE IT! BELIEVE IT!

How about we move the wish thing after the goal and instert that we dislike vandalls? LoneWolf 5 18:05, 2 March 2007 (UTC)LoneWolf 5

I suggest not saying that you dislike vandals on the main page. It's obvious that they're not welcome, but pointing them out just encourages them to vandalise more since it becomes a game for them to try to annoy you more. It's better to Dissuade Interaction. Angela talk 19:23, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
I put the wish part after the part about naruto, anime, and manga fans as a way of stating that we want to include everyone, fans and non fans. Any other suggestions?Dantman (Talk) 21:43, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
I guess we'll use this. Dantman(CGANI)(talk|CGANI) 01:05, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
Let's go with it for now untill we can think of more things to add or changes that must be done. We need to change it quickly because I don't want to lose any more viewers because of my stupidity. LoneWolf 5 01:10, 11 March 2007 (UTC)LoneWolf 5
Wait! I got it. I know what we can hate now. 'We hate trying to figure out what to hate.' I came up with it last night. Lame, yes. Stupid, yes. I should hit myself on the head, yes. I should leave this site... maybe....LoneWolf 5 22:39, 12 March 2007 (UTC)LoneWolf 5
T_T But encyclopedias shouldn't hate anything. Except vandalism, but we're not supposed to mention that, Shhh... Plus that makes the intro statement to long. You don't half to leave. Everyone makes plenty of mistakes. As I remember reading in a poem in english class ("What Should He Tell That Son?" was the poem)(paraphrased of course because I don't have the poem or my paragraph here):
“A mistake is not an error until you refuse to correct it.”
~Dantman(talk) 22:46, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
Leave....I'd only do that when I had no time left, I died, I felt that other people where doing a better job of correcting, I have no self esteem, I hate Naruto (*gasp*), the world ends, this site becomes the best Naruto site out there and thus needs no more editting. I'm just feeling alittle down about trying to find out something to hate. In fact, I'm really starting to hate... hate.LoneWolf 5 23:49, 12 March 2007 (UTC)LoneWolf 5
Don't worry about the site getting to good. That would not only take years. But is something that would never happen. And if you ever found that you ran out of things to contribute here. Remember that there is the entire WAP to think about. ~Dantman(talk) 05:24, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Backgrounds

Someone please change that god-awful leaf symbol orange background found all over the site. This seems like a nice wiki, but I can bear to look at it too long. It is a MASSIVE EYESORE! 70.236.28.233 22:21, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

What you sugest to change for? A blue bg with mist symbols, orange bg with sand, green with leaf, all? Seizure...? --201.36.213.8 22:38, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

I have no idea. It doesn't HAVE to involve a village. In any case, the current is kinda lousy IMHO. 70.236.30.181 01:35, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Then come up with a new one... Wiki are about collaboration. If you want something changed, come up with something to change it to yourself. Don't just say this sucks and expect someone else to fix it for you. The core point of a open wiki is that every random person can come along and contribute to making it better. ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) current discussion Aug 23, 2007 @ 03:04 (UTC)

OMG! It's awful! It looks like some little kid pajamas! Someone please take it off! And put NOTHING on the place. Why a freaking background image on a wikia?

Yo! random person here, Use this pic with all the shinobi symbols its multi colored. I used it for my screensaver[[1]]
That's to high resolution, if we added that then it would slow down loading of the site and scare away readers without a good high-speed connection. Not to mention that there would be copyright issues with using that image. ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) current discussion Oct 12, 2007 @ 04:39 (UTC)

[edit] Shipping article

may i suggest adding a shipping article to narutopedia? bulbapedia has it for pokemon characters and the naruto series holds ALOT of fan pairing and evidence of romance between characters. but its just a suggestion.

While I personally see it as very odd. (And borderline creepy, if you've seen the shippings I've run across) but whatever. As long as its not poorly written and crappy go for it.--TheUltimate3 02:08, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
Whoops rong one

[edit] Pictures

I've been gazing around some files, and how come theres only one Image on an article? i've seen the wikipedia, and the wiki that i come from with alot of images.

Shikamario

First, is because pictures are hard to come by. Look at the article Naruto Jinchuriki Forms and you'll see quite a few, but I had to get images from the manga for them. If Answers.com hadn't updated, we could have a picture for every jutsu but alas, its not possible (as of now). If you can find pictures of jutsus, and more pictures of characters I don't see a problem with adding them.--TheUltimate3 20:57, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

okay, are u the admin of this sight?

Shikamario

No, I'm just an immigrant from Wikipedia, who knows how things work around here I suppose. As I already said, pics are hard to come by but if you do find any that rational them right, I don't see a problem with them.--TheUltimate3 21:34, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

I'm the one who adopted the wiki. But other than them being hard to come by, we also need rationales when someone uploads an image. I half to delete any naruto image that people don't add a proper rationale and fair use template to because keeping them would be a copyright violation. So we need someone who can find images, but will properly tag them as fair use and create a rationale. Otherwise they are completely useless to helping the wiki and moreofften than not actually make working on the wiki harder if they can't tag. ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) current discussion Oct 31, 2007 @ 17:47 (UTC)

I have a whole folder of images, kept specifically for the Naruto wiki. One problem: 1) Its ALOT of them. 2) Its ALOT of them. 3) I am missing most of the jutsus, regretably.--TheUltimate3 22:36, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
If the need arises, I can go jutsu searching for appearances in the manga (in good resolution, of course). --Dubtiger 00:12, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
^_^ I'd like to go image searching in episodes. But, of course I don't have the space for 251 episodes of the series. Heh, I need a big external drive. That would be much better than putting it on my computer. Heh, I could even take it to dads and watch, and even do the torrents when away. ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) current discussion Nov 2, 2007 @ 05:32 (UTC)

so if you copied a video from youtube, what template would you put it on?

Shikamario

You wouldn't... Videos from YouTube are embedded and don't need attribution. But you wouldn't add those. Because any video from YouTube would be a fansub, dvd rip, or other form of illegally an imported episode. And putting it up here would be illegal and therefore you'll never see it done here and allowed. As for taking screenshots from YouTube, you won't. Because YouTube is about the absolute worst quality you'll find. If you're using a Video host to take screenshots you'll use a service like Stage6 or Veoh which actually keeps the full sized video and lets you download that and use that. Otherwise id advise using the torrents directly from the fansub groups. I won't lie in saying that most images come from fansubbed episodes. Quite simply because it's easier to do than using a bought DVD to capture a screenshot from, and also because most English people don't have DVD's which have the latter or Shippūden episodes. ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) current discussion Nov 2, 2007 @ 05:30 (UTC)

[edit] Naruto geography

Just a heads up, Wikipedia looks like they're going to be removing their article on wikipedia:Naruto geography (see wikipedia:Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Naruto geography (2nd nomination)), and I saw you guys didn't have a similar article here (at least not that I've seen yet). At the very least, the image in the article might make for a nice visual. Just thought I'd let someone know. -- Ned Scott 02:25, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

With the exception of the Village symbols, I saved the entire article here.--TheUltimate3 02:48, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

I deleted that one. The image has been uploaded and I imported the article. ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) current discussion Nov 5, 2007 @ 17:00 (UTC)
Dang. Looked more complete than the current on up. Regardless, I archieved it as a subpage so I (or anyone) can move the numerous Lands we know of to it. Please don't delete it...--TheUltimate3 22:12, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
Looks like only the first 100 versions were imported. -- Ned Scott 02:16, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
I know, but I don't feel like hunting down more. ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) current discussion Nov 8, 2007 @ 18:34 (UTC)

[edit] You can help

You can help by creating the nonexistent community portal page. HAHA!!! Madara uchiha99 18:48, 13 December 2007 (UTC)Madara uchiha99

Heh, never had a use for it. They classically were used for discussions, but we just use the Forum. Hmmm... Got an idea. ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) current discussion Dec 14, 2007 @ 03:02 (UTC)

[edit] Nindo!!!

I think on this page there should be a reason why we do this stuff and what our goal is and the steps we must take on the way. It should probably go like this:

If we're going to be a wiki, we need to all work together.

We need to help each other, provide information, and upload images to keep up with the flow of an active manga.

So don't be shy! Start editing now! We are always welcoming to those who are willing to use their spare time to help the benefit of Naruto fans.

And we will never give up until we've reached our goal, because that's our Nindo; our ninja way!

[edit] WTF

so why do all the articles end up being a page or so down when there is so much space atop? I don't understand, but then again I haven't been on this pedia much. So can we fix that?--SxeFluff 06:04, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Due to the new monaco skin, there had to be changes to this revision and needed to be a two-columned format (correct me if I'm wrong) and so Dantman came up with this one. ~Kakashi Namikaze (talk) 22:22, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

oh. well it sounds like a good idea, given the tolerance of blank spots. Good to know--SxeFluff 16:29, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Articles? The main page has been fixed up... But if for some reason article content is pushed down leaving a big white block in the upper left of the article area, please notify me. If that's the case there may be some incompatibility between our infobox code and Wikia's new skin. For that kind of thing I'd have to track down the issue and find out why it's doing it. It likely would have something to do with floats and float clearing, they can get tricky sometimes. ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) current discussion Jul 8, 2008 @ 18:00 (UTC)
Maybe it has to do with the adds, in the new skin, I remember reading something at Wikia.com about the new skin having adds, either as a banner or as an add block. Omnibender 18:05, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
Yes, that is what I mean by the system. It's possible that our floats, their floats, and any clear: ...; in the page could conflict. ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) current discussion Jul 9, 2008 @ 05:53 (UTC)

[edit] Cloud titleicon

Can anyone get a titleicon of Kumogakure's symbol for the {{Ninja loyalty}}? ~Kakashi Namikaze (talk) 14:01, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

We use the SVG's we already have for those. I've added Cloud to the loyalties for Kumogakure. ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) current discussion Jul 14, 2008 @ 19:10 (UTC)
