Hey, sorry for replying so late. Of course you can become an admin! The more the merrier! :) BTW, I think it's Homra, based on what the sign on their HQ marks.

RE:Request for Aesthetics
Hello, White Flash. herald_of_meridian here. Just dropping by to say that I have a tentative plan for this wiki's background. (Please visit my wiki to check out the design). I think black as article background color is okay, but I have to consider changing the button colors to any grayish color or blue (the latter to match the link text).

Tell me if you want something changed. heraldofmeridian♣ 03:12, September 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * I checked the quality of the PV (resolution-wise) and I don't think it would be good to use the PV because it's 320p; it would be too blurry. Aside from that, I'm pleased that you liked the concept. heraldofmeridian♣ 12:43, September 11, 2012 (UTC)

is the logo. heraldofmeridian♣ 13:25, September 12, 2012 (UTC)


 * This is actually the problem with having an anime series with only one letter as a title, so I improvised. heraldofmeridian♣ 00:44, September 13, 2012 (UTC)
 * Done. heraldofmeridian♣ 12:38, September 13, 2012 (UTC)

WOW! :D
I log off for a few days and come back on and this wiki has transformed into something even more epic! I love it. Thanks for your help :)

Oh, and about that picture. It seems that the man on the left with the long hair is the Silver King. His name is Adolf K. Weissmann. I'm not to sure what the other guy's name is though, but I heard he's the Gold King.

EDIT: Turns out the other guy's name is Kokujyouji Daikaku (weird name lol) and he's a whooping 95 years old!

Rules
Hey, White Flash. About your message... I never actually thought about making a page of rules because I know that wikia users out there know the basics: no vandalism, racist comments/posts, no spamming etc. But still, should I make one? Hmmm... what do you think?

Image Galleries
Hey. I was wondering if it was okay to create image galleries for the characters; instead of just placing random images of them on the actual article, we can put in the galleries. Since the anime will premiere shortly this week, and given the likely possibility that more images will be uploaded not too long after, I would think it'd help organize things better.

Re: Rules
Hey, White Flash. Just wanted to tell you that I started a page of rules here. Just check it out to see if you want to add anything!

StarCrossedWonderland (talk) 04:40, October 4, 2012 (UTC)

Policies and Standards
Hey there, White Flash.

I took a look at the rules that have been established so far for this wiki and while they make sense, they're pretty basic and are rather widely open to interpretation.

In my opinion, it'd be best to devise a set of rules specific to individual sections of the wiki, such as userpages, talk pages, blogs and the chat. I'm pretty good with guidelines and such so with your permission, could I work on some rules for them.

Another user, Glass Heart and I spoke about this and we both feel this would be a big help for the wiki. She wanted to include rules on article standards, images and the like and I think she definitely understands the need for them.

I'll create a tentative list and show you so that you can check it out and submit it for approval to whomever you feel the need to. Please get back to me on this.

Thank you. 15:23, October 4, 2012 (UTC)

I'll be giving you a link as soon as I'm finished with my part.

Also, I created a category called Imags of Reishi Munakata by accident. I created the proper one afterwards. If you could, please delete the first, mistaken one.

Request
Hello! I'd like to recommend Glass Heart for administrator on the wiki. The rules states that one can't nominate themselves but technically I'm the one nominating her so that's legitimate, right? XD Anyway, Glass is a pretty experienced editor; admins 3 wikis, rollbacks and chat moderates 1. So you know she's familiar with these things! She can help a lot with things like page protection, blocks, page renames, deletions, ect. Basically all that administrative stuff that has to be done to maintain things here! Plus she's a great editor and knows good coding so I definitely think you should consider! She can handle rollback rights but I really think she could do more as an admin. You guys could use an extra hand in a couple of weeks when people start flocking here more!


 * I would like to second this nomination. Having worked with her across multiple Wikis, I have seen her work and I am sure she would be a good and capable admin.  13:09, October 6, 2012 (UTC)

Wiki Wordmark change
Hello again, thanks for editing the navigation. Anyway, can you also change the Wiki Wordmark to this?

Also, why are you ignoring our messages? It's kinda rude, imo.

Btw, in the "Community Tab" it's K Project Wiki:Administrators and K Project Wiki:Policy, that's the wiki name space not K Wiki.


 * I guess so, are you planning on contacting Central to add "K Wiki" name space and if it's possible to delete "K Project" namespace?


 * I think they'll do it.


 * I am currently asking around to verify if it's possible.

Refresh
Hey White Flash.

I just want you to know that I'm nearly done with the policy work, but given how much editing goes on here, would you mind adding this js to the MediaWiki? It's an auto refresh for Wiki Activity and would be a ton of help.

/* Any JavaScript here will be loaded for all users on every page load. */ /* Auto Refresh */ AjaxRCRefreshText = 'Auto-refresh'; AjaxRCRefreshHoverText = 'Automatically refresh the page'; ajaxPages = ["Special:RecentChanges","Special:WikiActivity"]; importScriptPage('AjaxRC/code.js', 'dev');

Thanks.

Hello. In addition to the JavaScript above, could you also add the one for collapsibles? It's pretty convenient to use.

/* Collapsible */ importScriptPage('ShowHide/code.js', 'dev'); //    /**         Toggles the display of elements on a page Author/contact: Austin Che http://openwetware.org/wiki/User:Austin_J._Che See http://openwetware.org/wiki/OpenWetWare:Toggle for examples and documentation */ // indexed array of toggler ids to array of associated toggle operations // each operation is a two element array, the first being the type, the second a class name or array of elements // operation types are strings like "_reset" or "" for the default toggle operation var togglers = new Array; var allClasses = new Object; // associative map of class names to page elements function toggler(id) {   var toBeToggled = togglers[id]; if (!toBeToggled) return; // if some element is in list more than once, it will be toggled multiple times for (var i = 0; i < toBeToggled.length; i++) {       // get array of elements to operate on        var toggles = toBeToggled[i][1]; if (typeof(toggles) == "string") {           if (toggles.charAt(0) == '-') {               // treat as an element ID, not as class toggles = document.getElementById(toggles.substring(1)); if (toggles) toggles = new Array(toggles); }           else toggles = allClasses[toggles]; }       if (!toggles || !toggles.length) continue; var op = toBeToggled[i][0]; // what the operation will be       switch (op) {           case "_reset": for (var j in toggles) toggles[j].style.display = toggles[j]._toggle_original_display; break; case "_show": for (var j in toggles) toggles[j].style.display = ''; break; case "_hide": for (var j in toggles) toggles[j].style.display = 'none'; break; case "": default: // Toggle for (var j in toggles) toggles[j].style.display = ((toggles[j].style.display == 'none') ? '' : 'none'); break; }   } } function createTogglerLink(toggler, id) {   var toggle = document.createElement("a"); toggle.className = 'toggler-link'; toggle.setAttribute('id', 'toggler' + id); toggle.setAttribute('href', 'javascript:toggler("' + id + '");'); var child = toggler.firstChild; toggler.removeChild(child); toggle.appendChild(child); toggler.insertBefore(toggle, toggler.firstChild); } function toggleInit {   var togglerElems = new Array; var toggleGroup = new Array; // initialize/clear any old information togglers = new Array; allClasses = new Object; allClasses.watch = undefined; allClasses.unwatch = undefined; // make list of all document classes var elems = document.getElementsByTagName("*"); var numelems = elems.length; for (var i = 0; i < elems.length; i++) {       var elem = elems[i]; if (!elem.className) continue; elem._toggle_original_display = elem.style.display; var togglerID = -1; var elemClasses = elem.className.split(' '); // get list of classes for (var j = 0; j < elemClasses.length; j++) {           var elemClass = elemClasses[j]; if (! allClasses[elemClass]) allClasses[elemClass] = new Array; allClasses[elemClass].push(elem); // all the special classes begin with _toggle if (elemClass.substring(0, 7) != "_toggle") continue; if (elemClass == "_togglegroup") toggleGroup = new Array; else if (elemClass == "_toggle") toggleGroup.push(elem); else if (elemClass.substring(0, 12) == "_toggle_init") {               // set initial value for display (ignore the original CSS set value) // understands _toggle_initshow and _toggle_inithide var disp = elemClass.substring(12); if (disp == "show") elem.style.display = ''; else if (disp == "hide") elem.style.display = 'none'; elem._toggle_original_display = disp; }           else if (elemClass.substring(0, 8) == "_toggler") {               if (togglerID == -1) {                   togglerID = togglers.length; togglers[togglerID] = new Array; togglerElems[togglerID] = elem; }               // all classes are of form _toggler_op-CLASS // figure out what class we're toggling // if none is specified, then we use the current toggle group var toBeToggled; var hyphen = elemClass.indexOf('-'); if (hyphen != -1) toBeToggled = elemClass.substring(hyphen+1); else {                   toBeToggled = toggleGroup; hyphen = elemClass.length; }               var op = elemClass.substring(8, hyphen); togglers[togglerID].push(new Array(op, toBeToggled)); }       }    }    // add javascript links to all toggler elements for (var i = 0; i < togglerElems.length; i++) createTogglerLink(togglerElems[i], i); } function owwsitesearch(f){ f.q.value='site:http://openwetware.org/wiki/'+ f.base.value+'++'+f.qfront.value } addOnloadHook(toggleInit); //

Policies
Hi there! First, thanks for adding the JS to the MediaWiki. Second, thanks again for letting Ultra and I write what we would want for the policies. At least on Ultra's behalf; though you didn't confirm explicitly that I could help as well, seeing as Ultra's shared his part of the policies with me, I presume that will be alright with you.

Now, I'll be listing several policies... and all are quite lengthy... so be warned, lol. Apologies in advance if I write too much then you'd like. Most of these I adapted from that of my own wikis though I changed some things specifically for here.


 * 1) Well yeah, that's pretty general since this is a site that contains official information nothing fanbased whatsoever. I thought I included that but from the looks of it things got taken out. :/
 * 2) Sounds good with me.
 * 3) An image solely in an image gallery doesn't serve actual use on the wiki. If its used on articles and even userpages, talk pages, blogs, then it has some relevant use on the wiki. Having it in the image galleries is the same as simply having it float around the place, to be honest.
 * 4) Well, firstly, who said we actually need to convert it to a different file? Second, there can be some good use for these animations such as showing off abilities and techniques, like Kuroh's unique trait with his hand or Izumo's use of fireballs generating from the sparks of his cigarette. And third, while it's true GIFs do tend to lose the quality in images, that doesn't mean it's the same for all. I've seen GIFs without little or even any quality loss.


 * That's not true. You said yourself after that the site is not an image repository. Now, images aren't a bad thing and they help illustrate articles. I'm sure we both know that. The galleries are to organize the article images, allowing readers to find them easily, not to distribute every single file that users upload with no place on the wiki outside the galleries. Especially low-quality images.


 * GIFs show the full use of the ability which I find more preferable. Now, about the last point, I've never had that issue at all, and actually, I very am skeptical about the internet connection affecting GIF quality. The quality of the GIF depends on how it's made. The only possible issue that people with slow internet connection could have with them is the article page loading slower. Having good GIFs is not a bad thing.


 * Very well then. I still disagree as GIFs aren't very problematic themselves... but I'll go along with things.

Deletion
K (series) is an article for both Anime and Manga. K which you just deleted is the anime page, like how K: MoR has one.

Please undo the deletion so I can add this:

List of K episodes.

Okay, I'll create a merged page but can you at least undelete those two for now so I can copy the info. After I'm done you can delete it.

Lol don't worry about it. Also I don't think making an episode is necessary, since there are only few, same goes for the chapters.

I'm done you can delete it now, since my english is bad I can't edit aside from templates. Anyway, can you edit the Nav change the Media section to: *K (series)|Media

**K_(series)#Anime|Anime ***K_(series)#Anime|K ***K_(series)#List_of_Episodes|Episodes

**K_(series)#Manga|Manga ***K_(series)#Manga|K: Memory of Red ***K_(series)#List_of_Chapters|Chapters

Navigation
Please change Reisi's name from Reishi → Reisi on the navigation.

RE: Photoshop
Been using photoshop for more than a year now, I mostly use it for painting and coloring. I also do photo manipulation but I'm not that good at it.

Mainpage
Can you semi-protect the mainpage so we can edit it?

Monobook Skin
Currently, the wiki's Monobook skin lacks design compared to the Oasis default so do you mind sending a request here about making one for us? I have some suggestions as to what we can use for the theme, if you'd like some secondary thoughts on it.

Well, the Monobook skin should look relatively similar to the Oasis one. These are just some general things that need covering and most of them are what we should include if we want visually similar looks for both skins, though I added some personal choices for myself (which I think look good for it).
 * # 000000 sidebar headers, #FFFFFF text within the headers, #0148C2 links.
 * Same logo.
 * Different background though I'm not sure what to use. Since Monobook's layout is considerably different than Oasis, this one would just look awkward. I would recommend if someone could make a different background with a different theme, though not too different from the current one in Oasis.
 * Rounded borders. Personally, I'd go with silver, possibly outset too at best.
 * Same thing with the borders applying to the search bar and the "Go" and "Search" buttons beneath it.
 * Transparency, also on sidebars.

Btw, Remnant is doing a redesign for the Main Page for the Monobook skin and to finish things up, he needs you to add the following CSS to MediaWiki:Common.css. div.ajax-poll { width:auto !important; }

Reminder
This XD
