Since this is a small Wiki I don't think we need all this features Speysider included, it would be very useful on larger wikis.

As what Remnant said, I would like to propose the sub page, Delete/reason to be deleted as well since the reason can be given here. 06:24, February 16, 2013 (UTC)


 * Rifatmfarid, do you even know what that subpage is for ? It is for preformatted deletion reasons and makes for typing certain reasons easier.
 * Wiki size is irrelevant. I suppose keeping the quick deletion stuff that I added. --Speysider Talk Page 10:03, February 16, 2013 (UTC)


 * People can write their reasons for the deletion without needing the template, Speysider. 10:35, February 16, 2013 (UTC)


 * You clearly don't understand the point of the subpage. Delete/reason is for preformatted reasons. The delete template already supports user  reasons. For example, places a delete notice on the page with a preformatted reason of looking at the talkpage to find out why the page is deleted and  places a delete notice on the page with a user defined reason of Some reason. Please do not make random assumptions as if you know what things are for, without knowing the real reason for them. It does not help you or anyone else. --Speysider Talk Page 10:39, February 16, 2013 (UTC)

I don't really see the point of this template. It doesn't always mean if its resolution is high the quality is high as well, so there's always some exceptions to this. You can simply put "Only By A Similar Image Of Higher Quality" on the FUR template.


 * The template is not meant for that purpose. It is to tag images which match specific HD resolutions and to prevent people from uploading images in lower quality (for example, User A uploads an image in 1080p [1920x1080]. User B finds a similar image in lower quality. User B can't upload his image because User A put on it.) --Speysider Talk Page 10:39, February 16, 2013 (UTC)


 * To my awareness it does not literally prevent them. It just tells them not to. If they're the kind who'd upload bad images over good ones, I doubt this would make a difference.

Voting

 * 1)  Should be revised following the Wikis theme.
 * 2)  Delete.

 * 5)  What Remnant said.

Discussion
A pre-formatted message is easier and saves time typing. This templates should be revised making it simpler. Especially the ImageWarn, it only supports 1 image and the design should follow the Wikis theme to maintain consistency.


 * I oppose deletion of these templates. They make your time easier. --Speysider Talk Page 10:39, February 16, 2013 (UTC)

CSS import

 * @import "http://anime.wikia.com/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Anime-Common.css&action=raw&ctype=text/css&smaxage=86400&templates=expand";

Voting

 * 1)  Remove the import.
 * 2)  Remove.
 * 3)  Remove.  06:05, February 16, 2013 (UTC)
 * 4)  Keep.
 * 5)  Remove.

Discussion
It has some issues especially on Special:WikiActivity it adds ridiculous spaces. I'm against importing CSS for 2 reasons.


 * 1) May pose issues with existing CSS. We don't have control over the imported css, any changes on the css might cause problems.
 * 2) I want to maintain at least some originality. I've worked on some CSS in my test wiki and I'll probably open a discussion about a whole design change on this wiki when I'm done.


 * It won't pose any issues with current CSS. Plus, it is required for certain templates. --Speysider Talk Page 10:03, February 16, 2013 (UTC)

If we need any part of it in particular, we can take that part without all the byproducts.


 * It wouldn't be possible to take parts of the css. Also Remnant, where are you seeing these supposed massive spaces on WikiActivity, I can't see any. --Speysider Talk Page 10:32, February 16, 2013 (UTC)


 * This compared to this. It's not impossible, just tell me which template they are used on and I'll see what I can do.


 * ,, (my version that is),  and , to name a few. --Speysider Talk Page 10:47, February 16, 2013 (UTC)


 * All 4 are being discussed, I'll do it when we are finished.

Discussion
As Ultra said "I'd think that putting a redirect to a project page into the mainspace is not something that should be done. The mainspace is for articles and article redirects.". It's unnecessary and I think redirects should only be reserved for main pages.


 * They save you time not having to remember the namespace. I support keeping these redirects, as they are useful. --Speysider Talk Page 10:03, February 16, 2013 (UTC)

Twitter

 * TwitterWidget

Voting

 * 1)  Remove.  Adding K and GoRA Twitter.
 * 2)  I'm not sure exactly why the TwitterWidget is needed. I can live with the twitter functions on the site but I'd prefer that the featured twitter accounts be from official K related media, such as the official K and GoRA twitter accounts. They may be in Japanese but frankly, I don't see why this should be a reason to oppose the idea.
 * 3)  Official K and GoRA twitter accounts would be better.  06:05, February 16, 2013 (UTC)
 * 4)  I'm fine with K and GoRA's twitter's being added.

Discussion
I don't see any reason why Animanga Twitter should be featured. If anything we should use the official Twitter account of K and GoRA although both are in Japanese. I propose its removal.

Discussion
Again I don't see any reason why this this page should stay.


 * It is a page intended for you to describe the history of the site. There is no reason to delete it. --Speysider Talk Page 10:03, February 16, 2013 (UTC)

As I said before, the doesn't warrant a page like this. It's still new and building.

No rationale

 * 1)  Delete.
 * 2)  Delete.  08:30, February 16, 2013 (UTC)

Discussion
Same reason as the Delete Template.


 * Unless I'm wrong, all images here are to have license data and fair use rationale's ? This template is intended for the sole purpose of tagging images which do not have on them. As such, I oppose removal of this template. --Speysider Talk Page 10:03, February 16, 2013 (UTC)
