Power
I was just wondering if we could make catgories for "Power+" cretures and "Power-" or just power minus creatures like Brock, the Screw Soldier. I am not sure if there are any power minus creatures other then this creature to be honest that is why i come up with tis idea other wise if this is the only creature then we don't need to consider my idea. Thanx. Saad safa 21:11, April 26, 2012 (UTC)

I hope you have seen the message above well i found about 4 or 5 "Power -" creatures and plenty of "Power +" creatures. I think we should make categories for the creatures powers. I think categories should be named like "Power - (Minus) Creatures" and "Power + (Plus) Creatures". Saad safa 17:39, April 27, 2012 (UTC)

Plz let me know on what you think about the new categories i just made. Saad safa 02:40, May 2, 2012 (UTC)

- Not sure when I agreed to this. There was already another category system I was working on. Yami Michael 07:29, May 2, 2012 (UTC)

What other category were you planning? plz let me know. Because for category "Power - (Minus) Creatures" i could not think of any other name or way but for "Power + (Plus) Creatures" category they could have been shown as "Power Attackers". Since i have not put a lot of creatures in "Power +" category yet and halted on it it can still be amended so i would like to know your thaughts on it. Saad safa 14:36, May 3, 2012 (UTC)

Hey
Ore wa Kitsu

Thanks for the welcome, man. I watch Victory V! every Saturdays in TV Tokyo while waiting for BakuTech to air.

Ah, so another Japanese editor. Even cooler. :) Yami Michael 17:31, May 5, 2012 (UTC)

Traffic
Hi. Duel Masters Wiki looks great, although if you are hoping to get more traffic from the new show I'm not sure having a link to another wiki for the new show on your mainpage is the best thing..... Could you please drop the main page protection to only block edits from anonymous and new users?? I don't see any real vandalism history on the page. Let me know on my talk page when you have taken care of that. -- Wendy (talk ) 04:31, May 9, 2012 (UTC)

While based on a similar game, due to different game setup and characters, I thought it best to keep it separated, as it is a bit of a re-branding, and I would want cards from each game getting mixed up together in categories.

I can lower the protection on the page, although it was vandalized twice removing the page back in dec09/10. Yami Michael 12:58, May 9, 2012 (UTC)

Request for help
Hi Yami. I approved your request for a main page revamp, and I'm here to follow up with you. If you've seen a layout that you like at another wiki, please link me to it, and I'll start working on setting up a similar layout here. Of course, if you already have a specific idea of how you want it to look, let me know.

I'm never really decent on the creative side of things, but the mainpage is somewhat neglected here, so lets take a shot. While I dont want it completely like http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page ... I would like some general "news boxes", only of course, more of the blue/white style, one to show off the latest sets that I have listed already...and another side box or two for important links (like the anime series's I have listed in the menu bar up the top.

While it does seem a little weird to separate the wikis, I wouldn't mind a better notification or message to refer people to Kaijudo wiki as well, as while similar, the game/show is very different, and doesn't work category wise.

I dont really know what do to in terms of images to have a character section like the yu-gi-oh, while some characters have them...others are lacking. Might be best to just ignore that.

I did link some important links and sections for the boxes on the talk page for the mainpage.


 * Take a look at User:JoePlay/dev, where I have two versions of a section heading using a Google web font that's kinda similar to the font on the official logo. If you like the font, let me know which heading you like (dark blue text or white text on dark blue background), and I'll use it on the main page. JoePlay http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb33036/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (talk)  00:16, May 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * Man, now that's a tricky choice. I'm leaning towards the first one, and can always change it later on if I change my mind. Yami Michael 00:27, May 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * I just edited the main page, so take a look when you get a chance. I noticed that you guys use the wiki's blogs, so I added a blog listing to help fill out the right column. When editing in source mode, you can adjust the number of blog posts that appear and the length of the blog posts' text . Let me know if you want to me make any more changes.

 * That looks absolutely amazing. It looks like everything is there in plain view, and it seems easy enough to edit for later changes. Cant thank you enough, and cant think of anything else that's needed. I imagine if needed or if it could fit, a listing of manga in a column is easy enough? It would be added the current columns or even fitted by changing col2 to col3? Yami Michael 19:08, May 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * Cool, I'm glad you like the new look. :) And yeah, you can just add another column using col-3. Template:Col-3 didn't exist, so I just created it. JoePlay http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb33036/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (talk)  22:17, May 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * Perfect. After staring at the main page a lot, it does seem to not be missing anything, so thanks again for the help. Glad I finally got around to contacting you guys. Yami Michael 22:27, May 11, 2012 (UTC)

Spotlight Request
Hi. I've added the wiki to the approved spotlight list. That makes sense about it being a game revamp; it just seemed a little odd on the face of it to have another wiki link right there. I'm glad you are getting a mainpage makeover -- that will be a nice addition :). -- Wendy (talk ) 01:17, May 10, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, I will have some minor interaction between the sites...but I cant have the cards sharing category, and changing their names would just make it odd. The makeover should help indeed. :) Yami Michael 01:19, May 10, 2012 (UTC)

Duel Masters Comics
I'm not even sure, as its hard to even call the Scholastic books "comics", but then again, I dont have a proper name for them.
 * The Scholastic Comics series of Duel Masters Comics. What should i name the main page. Should i name it like " Tokyo pop Cine manga" because they also have a name on some of there volumes as "Scholastic Reader" or "Duel Masters Comic: Season 1" maybe. Need your opinion.
 * I am about to add the template to those pages so i want decide the series main page name before i do this step.
 * Lastly i want to merge all three comic series" Dreamwave", "Tokyo-Pop" and "Scholastic" and list them on the main page like manga. I want to simply name the page as "Duel Masters Comics". Saad safa 20:37, May 12, 2012 (UTC)

Chapter Book is what was used for them on google books, and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chapter_books seems to be appropriate. Using that just causes even more separation though, so I dunno. Yami Michael 20:47, May 12, 2012 (UTC)
 * I am thinking of the name like we did in the manga like for this series 1 since it is the the second series. So would it be ok to name it "Duel Masters Comic: Series 2" or just "Comic Series 2".
 * Ill have to think about this one, just leave it for a few hours/today. Yami Michael 21:34, May 12, 2012 (UTC)
 * OK i wanted to say this as well inregards with Dreamwave Comics. Why we added a category for" Dreamwave Comics". It is just comics, it doesn't make sense having this series kept in a saperate category. I think we should finish the "Dreamwave" category and keep everything in one single "Comics" category like manga and since they are not a lot they they should be much convenient to have them all at one place rather then different places. Your view plzSaad safa 21:56, May 12, 2012 (UTC)
 * I was just using it temporarily as it was using "Dream Wave" before it. Yami Michael 21:57, May 12, 2012 (UTC)

Characters
Have to run work for my work now. But i think all the major characters will need a major re-work. Enjoy the manga see you later. Saad safa 05:49, May 14, 2012 (UTC)

Really like the new character template for the DM-Victory characters. Nice idea of having one. User:Saad safa

I had one sitting around for Duel Masters Flash...but it always seemed like crap because of the other lack of DM Flash info. I guess I could use Template:Duel Masters Flash Characters though. Soon I'll have another one for Victory V (Working on character names...), but older seasons are gonna be difficult and messy for sure, and some cards are gonna have too many templates, lol. Yami Michael 01:06, May 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * While I'm working on the few character things...can you look at Talk:Saku_Senshu and Talk:Moku Senshu? Yami Michael 01:08, May 20, 2012 (UTC)

Japanese Searches
I usually use this wiki to search for cards based on their Japanese name because I like to look up Japanese decklists...but with this new Wiki update, it doesn't handle the characters anymore and just ends up being gibberish. Do you think there is any way to fix this?

TheKaijudoChannel 17:19, May 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * I noticed that earlier as well, as I do it commonly too. Gonna be looking into it, and haven't seen a work around atm. Wikia changed a few search related things recently, making it mostly better, but no foreign characters would make me sad. :( Yami Michael 17:40, May 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * http://community.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Dopp/New_Global_Search,_plus_Updates_to_Local_Search#comm-386338 If they dont respond to that, I'll send in a tech support ticket tomorrow as well. Yami Michael 17:50, May 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * Update, and its already being worked on. Woo. :)
