Hi Dark! I just have a Viz membership :-I Is there anything you need in particular? Martialmaniac (talk) 22:27, February 15, 2018 (UTC)

Not trying to intrude, but there are some of the last chapters here posted by AHunterxHunterFan. A source for the older chapters is not necessary, I think. --Gorgo616 (talk) 10:57, February 18, 2018 (UTC)

I don't remember wishing you a happy birthday last year, but I think I've left it somewhat late. Do belated Happy Birthdays count if it's more than 3 months later? Pigzillion (talk) 21:19, February 23, 2018 (UTC)

Neon's Death
Hi, I have read the spoiler ffor the next chapter. Since her Hatsu, Lovely Ghostwriter have disappeared from Chrollo's Skill Hunter, then it is confirmed that she has met her demise at some point. Remember, if the original owners of the abilities die, unless their Nen has become stronger after death, then the abilities will vanished.

Lock pages?
Funny you should mention this, I wanted to lock said pages, but was hesitant to do so because well I thought it'd be overstepping it. Though if you decide to lock the pages for the PT, then go right ahead, just until the Viz translation comes out. As for Neon... it's going to be ambiguous until further clarification is given so we may have to lock that page for a while... if it gets out of hand in the future.

Fair enough.

Nomination for Moderator
Not that it's my place to be nominating someone, especially since I haven't talked it over with said person, but it's been on my mind for quite some time now and after carefully thinking over it I believe it's good to nominate Martialmaniac as an Content Moderator like Marcy is.

My reasons for nominating him, well he's not only active in this community, but his edits on this wikia have been exponentially valuable for providing informative content.

I'd go and say he should be an admin on here and if that's the case that if he wants to be one then by all means I give my seal of approval, but in thinking in his terms I think he wouldn't want the position due to his own personal reasons, which I can relate to and understand. So in that manner I chose the step down for him to have access to parts the wikia not available to regular editors on here.

Humble × Humble (talk) 00:55, March 13, 2018 (UTC)

You're welcome, I just felt that I was over stepping my bounds with the suggestion, but hey it is what it is. I also have someone else in mind to suggest for Content Mod, but I'll hold my tongue on who for now.

Humble × Humble (talk) 01:38, March 13, 2018 (UTC)

You and I both, wish for that not to happen... I don't want to rule out Mr.Genial or OPN, but I do hope they become active on here again.

Request for background
Hello again. I just uploaded a new background using the two images you provided. At the moment, it's showing a blank area at the top, but if you look at File:Wiki-background, you'll see there is no empty space at the top of the image. There might be an issue currently happening with the theme designer, so I'll look into that. JoePlay https://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/joeplayground/images/e/e5/FandomStaff.png (talk) 18:32, March 15, 2018 (UTC)


 * I figured out that the following bit of code on Wikia.css is the cause of the gap at the top that I mentioned:

body.background-dynamic:after, body.background-dynamic:before { bottom: 0 !important;
 * So I remade the background image to be 1,000 pixels tall and uploaded it. Now it completely fills the background area vertically. JoePlay https://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/joeplayground/images/e/e5/FandomStaff.png (talk) 15:09, March 19, 2018 (UTC)

Re: Black Whale plot
Ok I still have to catch up with the latest chapter, so I might help you with it afterward. But I have to voice my concerns: won't it end being the exact same replica as the "succession contest arc" page as both will narrate what's happening inside the black whale? I actually think it would be better if we just reverted some of my edits because there's a good argument in the previous presentation; people could just see all events that happened in a specific part of the ship instead of scurrying around walls of text in the succession contest arc.

Honestly stuff like Leorio restocking the medicines seemed redundant to include in the page as it goes without saying that events like that happen in a clinic. It's not much of plot-related elements being omitted rather than redundancy and repetition and I felt that seeing the same paragraph repeated three times somewhere in the page. But I will leave the final decision to you.Eusstass (talk) 16:38, March 30, 2018 (UTC)

That seems plausible, but it might quickly turn into a mess especially with the first tier and the succession contest also being part of the article. Overall, if it's just a summary of the Black Whale structure/hierarchy's involvement with the main plot, then it's fine I guess but we need to be careful when things go out of hand and people decides to add every little detail.Eusstass (talk) 17:16, March 30, 2018 (UTC)

Re:Major Battles
If it's only about effort, there's no need to worry because I'm planning on completing them by my own. For the battle articles, I like the idea but it might be too much for now. Although I think it will be very beneficial especially for a series like HxH with its sheer fight complexity. Also the Hisoka vs Chrollo fight is kind of clattering the succession contest page so it might help to make a separate page for it in the future, and just briefly mention there the conclusion of the fight (kinda like the Phantom Troupe page). It's a big project and I'm interested in participating in it, but not anytime soon unfortunately. For the major battles, I've already skimmed through the HE arc and noted down all the battles. I should be done with it fairly soon.Eusstass (talk) 04:56, April 8, 2018 (UTC)

Long Pages
I have seen you mention that you believe Killua's page to be too long already; as a matter of fact, at some point I will expand the "Plot" section, because a lot of important details are missing. Our referencing system makes it impossible to do like on some of the other wikis, where they have multiple subpages for only one character, but maybe we can make each Arc subsection collapsible. Martialmaniac (talk) 11:58, April 9, 2018 (UTC)

I'm fine with things the way they are, I was just hoping you would nor suggest we trim down or stop adding stuff. Glad to know mine was a baseless fear.

Unrelated, but do you know how I can create archives for my talk page? It's HUGE. Martialmaniac (talk) 14:31, April 9, 2018 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll do that right away. Martialmaniac (talk) 15:07, April 9, 2018 (UTC)

Details in some Infobox Templates
Here are some of the details I mentioned about templates. They are not too much and are really just details, so the priority is low. Last consideration, some of these items may not be considered defects so just ignore them. --Gorgo616 (talk) 18:51, April 11, 2018 (UTC)
 * On the Bestiary Infobox & Group Infobox: "Romanji" → "Rōmaji"; and the rōmaji field should be italicized automatically.
 * On the Item Infobox: "Romanji" → "Rōmaji"; the rōmaji field should be italicized automatically; a "Kana" field should be enabled or created; and maybe a "Classification" field should also be added.
 * On the Location Infobox: the rōmaji field should be italicized automatically; a "Kana" field should be enabled or created; and the field that uses "|alias =" should also be enabled.
 * On the Music Infobox: the rōmaji field should be italicized automatically; and a "Kana" field should be enabled or created.
 * On the Omake Infobox: "Romanji" → "Rōmaji"; the rōmaji field should be italicized automatically; a "Kana" field should be enabled or created; and the field that uses "|alias =" should also be enabled.

Portable Infoboxes
Hey-O-Dark! I’m Ursuul, representing the Vanguard team. I wanted to talk to you about converting to the Portable Infobox tool on this Wiki. The tool makes it easy to create and maintain Infoboxes that work nicely on all devices, while keeping the existing desktop design intact. As you can see below (or here for a working example), conversion can potentially have very little visual impact on the desktop Infoboxes:

We could use the above-pictured theme to standardize the look of your infoboxes across the site for you, or we could instead preserve the existing look & feel of your infoboxes if that is preferred, while still successfully converting to the tool & providing this Wiki with many portability benefits.

Lastly, I wanted to talk to you about the JavaScript tabbers in use on this Wiki; they are not mobile-friendly. Portable Infoboxes have native support for these kinds of tabbers, & we could also help you replace the JavaScript tabbers in articles too. There are some portable alternatives available; one works identically to the way the old JavaScript tabbers did & another is an even more mobile-friendly gallery.

We would be happy to set any of these up for you if you like them, since Hunterpedia has been identified as a high priority for FANDOM. If you have any questions or if this is the wrong place for this discussion, be sure to let me know; I’d like to hear what you think! We’d really like to start working on your Wiki, but we would appreciate your consent to proceed. Thanks!

Yes, as you can see above we can preserve the gradient in the Infoboxes if desired. We could use that same green gradient for all infoboxes, or go template-by-template keeping the styles the same as they were before conversion; up to you.

As for the tabbers, are you referring to galleries such as Gon Freecss/Image Gallery? If so,  can be restyled to look & work very similarly to what you use now, albeit a bit more portable. However, I didn’t originally anticipate that you also used these kinds of tabbers in gallery pages to such an extensive degree, so I’ve asked the team what the best portability approach might be. I’ll get back to you on that when I have a response.

Sincere apologies for the long wait! After discussing it, we have some suggestions to improve your community long term: I’d love to hear what you think of these actionables, & also your final thoughts on the Infoboxes too, so that we may begin working on the portability solution that works for your Wiki!
 * We’d like to switch from JavaScript tabbers to wherever possible in order to standardize your code & provide better performance on all platforms. Here is a working example of Gon Freecss/Image Gallery with all of the old JavaScript tabbers replaced; as you can see there is very little desktop difference.
 * That said, pages that are almost entirety images such as /Gallery pages aren’t searchable (especially when made with non-standard JavaScript) & weaken SEO, so they’re best avoided in general.
 * Instead it’s best practice to distribute images in article text. When there are too many images for that, galleries in the article itself are ideal. Switching to new image galleries can make that very simple, allowing you to collapse up to 3,000 images in a single gallery that does not take up much space at all (unless you want it to show more, via | example).
 * Tabbers in general were designed / intended for text. Galleries therefore are more optimal for images, so the tabbers in articles can work better as gallery slideshows (working example) which we could help you convert to via bot if you would like.

No problem about the wait, I took a while myself! We’ll begin working on the Infoboxes ASAP then (progress can be seen here), & though I know you don’t like the New Image Gallery format, would you at least be open to us replacing JavaScript tabbers with wherever possible? & would you be ok with slider galleries over using inline tabbers for images? (it’s different from the New Image Galleries)


 * Hey there! I will be assisting Ursuul with this project, particularly with the Nonportableinfobox conversions. I'm looking forward to working with this wiki and improving its mobile compatibility! Please let me know if you have any questions. ~TheGoldenPatrik1 (Talk) 17:21, May 21, 2018 (UTC)


 * Hello again, just letting you know that all of the drafts have been brought over (the legitimate ones have “View the draft” beside them) which you may review & approve at your leisure. You didn’t specify whether you wanted 1:1 conversion or whether you would be ok with a universal style, so we went with the universal. If you’d prefer that be changed, let us know!


 * “…is it possible to keep the original color schemes of each infobox?” That’s what I meant by 1:1 style, as in each converted infobox will have the same style (aesthetic) as the old infobox. Universal would be to have every single infobox have one style for consistency, even if they don’t always match the old style. I will get to work writing CSS themes so that the infoboxes will retain their individual, original color schemes as you ask.

I will get to work converting to regular tabbers then as well.


 * So sorry again for the protracted delay! I have expanded MediaWiki:Themes.css so that all of the Portable Infoboxes should have the same aesthetic appearance as the non-Portable Infoboxes. If you would like to go ahead with the conversion, do let me know (since I’ll have to convert the JavaScript tabbers around the same time to make sure nothing breaks).


 * Awesome, I’ve gone ahead with the conversion like you said; your Infoboxes are now Portable & the native  is now the standard here. If you notice any bugs or weirdness, be sure to let me know & I’ll do what I can to get things squared away. Thanks Darcy, & thank you TheGoldenPatrik1 for helping out as well!


 * Yes absolutely, or you can ask any of the other Vanguard members, or you can ask on the Portability Hub. Although I think you’ll find that the Infobox Builder tool (used whenever you make brand new Infoboxes) will make things easy for you.

Hisoka color images
Hi DC, do you happen to know where I could find the colored version of Volume 34? I'd like to add images of the Hisoka vs. Chrollo fight to show the several different uses of Bungee Gum made there. Martialmaniac (talk) 14:41, April 24, 2018 (UTC)

Discussions
Hi -_Darkchylde; I'm Amanda with FANDOM's community development team! How would you feel about moving the character gallery up above the slider? We've learned through click patterns that that's usually where users go first and thought it'd be better if that was the first thing they saw while on the wiki. I'm also contacting you to see if you are interested in turning on Discussions.

In case you are unaware of the feature, Discussions was introduced last year to help communities engage with users and fans. It lives in its own space on the wiki and allows users to interact with other members of the community. It is also mobile friendly, and gives mobile users a chance to contribute and engage with the community, and possibly turn them into wiki editors as well. You can read more about Discussions here.

For more information on migrating forums to Discussions, you can check out this blog over on Community Central that explains everything in detail.

If you have some concerns, Discussions and Forums can exist side-by-side in case you do not want to migrate just yet. However, eventually all Forums will be migrated over to Discussions, so getting ahead of the curve is never a bad idea.

Let me know what you think, and if you want to proceed I can get the ball rolling. Witnessme (talk) 16:33, May 2, 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for getting back to me! You know the slider at the top of the page? I'm proposing we move it down so that we can move the character gallery up.

And great! I'll go ahead and enable discussions then. Thanks! Witnessme (talk) 16:32, May 3, 2018 (UTC)

WSJ by Viz
Hey Dark, just want guidance/advice on how I should refer to WSJ by Viz. Should I add NA (as in North America) alongside the name or USA? I also italicized WSJ by Shueisha to signify that it's Japanese, or should I also put JP? Thanks! - Hahaharuhi! (talk) 11:41, June 11, 2018 (UTC)

Thank you! :) Also, about the image sizes on the chapter articles, should we stick to the default size found in the infobox or input 250px? I think more articles utilize the default vs. with 250px. And thanks for the input, I'll add JP later. WSJ by Viz also started publishing HxH only from 341 onward, and it's released on the same day as Japan (except for Chapter 347), so maybe I should remove them ?? Since yeah the release date is getting a little crowded. - Hahaharuhi! (talk) 04:37, June 12, 2018 (UTC)

Re: Timeline
Thank you! I'm frankly down with whatever as long as it looks decent and above all it is efficient, so go right ahead! I'll go back to the stubs because coding is definitely not my forte. Martialmaniac (talk) 02:52, June 17, 2018 (UTC)

Seraph of the End Affiliation
Hi, this is a good Wiki, in particular the 'News feed' box on the right of the page, there's great detail on the manga and anime. Seraph of the End is also an established and great Wiki, in particular are the 'Differences with the manga' section at the end of each episode, please find attached an example here:

[//owarinoseraph.wikia.com/wiki/The_World_of_Blood_Legacy_(Episode) https://owarinoseraph.wikia.com/wiki/The_World_of_Blood_Legacy_(Episode)]

I feel fans of either will enjoy the other respective series. In addition, and looking at the bigger picture, the more detailed each Wiki is the better for fans of anime in general and the Fandom site overall. With this in mind if you would care to facilitate an affiliation with the Seraph of the End Wiki? Whilst I am not an Admin, I can point you in the direction of ShadowRyu Kei. If you would like to share Hunter x Hunter's Wiki header wordmark, our Admin can do the same to finalize the affiliation between these two great sites and series.

Re:Translations
Hello Darcy! Alright. Speaking of which, can you make the Arabic text start from right instead of left?
 * No, I mean editing the template itself so it would (automatically) start the Arabic translation from the right to left...like this
 * without the need of using codes to adjust the text within the character's page. I've tried doing it myself but I lost half of my coding skills, thanks to college :'(
 * Very well. Thanks! and sorry for the trouble XD

Ext. Team template
Hi Dark! I noticed you made a template for the roles of each member during the palace invasion. That is an excellent idea, but my only worry is that the descriptions would actually be quite lengthy. Everyone had one or even several tasks originally, and they changed throughout the invasion (e.g. Ikalgo: his original role is unclear, seemingly to help Gon and Killua against Neferpitou; he was later assigned to finding Palm, and, should that fail, Morel told him to mislead the other Ants; but he ended up fighting Bloster and Welfin, and later dealt with the hostage crisis). I think the average might be three lines per character, but often more than that. I'll use the template for now, but do tell me if it's better to remove it. Martialmaniac (talk) 12:14, September 4, 2018 (UTC)

Thank you! Of course, change it however you like. I'm leaving the references in the template for last. Martialmaniac (talk) 14:25, September 4, 2018 (UTC)

Hello, sd. How are you? I'm Usui, administrator of the Spanish HxH wiki. The reason of my message is to ask you if there is not some kind of problem in which I put interwiki links in the articles, since I have usually put them and it would be nice for me that there is also here, at least in the most relevant pages. Thank you for reading. Luck :)

Hi Darcy! I see you’re doing a lot of work here, replacing the character template name... But why did you change the name anyways? 09:43, September 15, 2018 (UTC)

Aha. So we’re replacing almost every template like that? For example: Template:Nav/Amateur Hunters becomes Hunterpedia:Nav/Amateur, or should I stop thinking of giving you a hand?! LOL! But no. If I didn’t get the renaming formula, I still will be replacing the template’s name in the articles. Cause you know, that’s a lot of work. You shouldn’t be doing it all by yourself ;) 09:57, September 15, 2018 (UTC)

Hunterpedia Without Borders
Hi Darcy. I'd been reading about the community apps and I think it is worth asking the staff to consider Hunterpedia for an app. If you agree, you might want to read this before. I actually wanted to bring this topic to you since Ducksoup published his blog (the last link) but I was so busy back then...

We should have an app, I mean, one piece wikia does and we don't?!?! lol. 12:35, September 17, 2018 (UTC)

From Earth to Darcy, can you hear me?? 10:16, September 19, 2018 (UTC)

Don’t worry ^^. Yes, use this page, Add or remove Features is suitable, I think. I’m really excited to have an app for our community 😆! 12:03, September 19, 2018 (UTC)

Pics
Hey Darcy! I made a provisionary edit in Rihan's Nen ability template (removed the gallery to see how it looks only with the two images inside it - the first one in the end was just a naked Rihan). I would also like to see if we can add the panel where the Predator swallows the GSB. If you liked it better before, feel free to undo, of course! Speaking more broadly, do you think that we should wait until the Viz version comes out to upload images, since they're cleaner? Martialmaniac (talk) 12:31, September 21, 2018 (UTC)

Yeah, I do think the slideshow makes it clearer, it's just... so... ugly, and it would also leave a big portion of the image column empty. But if others are in favor of it and/or it is useful on multiple pages, I'd of course support it. Martialmaniac (talk) 18:32, September 21, 2018 (UTC)

Hello Darcy! I’ve just uploaded the logo and I hope it’s up to your expectations.

How do I make it fit?
Sorry Darcy, do you have any idea how I can make it so a character's image fits the size of their portrait in a gallery, and not vice versa? I'd like to fix some of the ones in the gallery of Zazan's Squad, but I have no idea how to do that short of shrinking the images and reuploading them. Martialmaniac (talk) 22:23, December 19, 2018 (UTC)

Thanks! I was asking because some images would be too incomplete (or redundant) in a 1:1 ratio, but if there's no other way, I'll try that. Just to be clearer, I meant this gallery. Martialmaniac (talk) 01:02, December 20, 2018 (UTC)
