Hi, welcome to Ranma Wiki! Thanks for your edit to the File:Shampoo.jpg page.

Hello
I was going through the list of anime wikis on wikia, and noticed the admin here was not active. Considering the amount of work you have done here, you should ADOPT it.

Follow up-

Hi, I'm Sxerks, from the Anime & Manga Hub

Now that this wiki has an active admin, would you add this link   to the bottom of your SIDEBAR. Its a link to the Anime & Manga Hub on Wikia.

We are currently working on adding basic pages as well as a list of anime wikis on wikia.

The Hub also serves as a place to link to common actors, artists, and anime terms like Rie Kugimiya which you can link to in your articles.

We Also have a monthly Anime/Manga spotlight on our Main Page. Read about it here.

Good luck with the new adminship!

Another follow up- You need a wiki logo, just upload a (216x155) png as "wiki.png" and it will replace the orange wikia logo in the sidebar.--Sxerks 17:58, December 13, 2009 (UTC)

Re: Can I have some help from you please
All the templates I've setup depend on various css, as well as other templates. Clean organization. I don't feel like copying and fixing individual templates, thats what I created the sync que for. The templates you are talking about on various wiki are likely all the ones inside of w:c:anime:Category:TagSynced which are synced by bot from anime to all the other wiki. Those other wiki also use the shared repo of css and js. You're welcome to have your wiki added to the sync que if you want. ~ NOTASTAFF Dantman(Local Talk &#8285; Animanga Talk)

Request a bot flag on AnimeBot from staff, I'll add it to the list, and you need to make these changes to the wiki:
 * MediaWiki:Siteid
 * Create this with "ranma"


 * MediaWiki:Sitename
 * Create this with "Ranma Wiki"


 * MediaWiki:Common.js
 * Add this to the top:

/* Include Global Anime-Common.js Information */ importScriptURI('http://anime.wikia.com/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Anime-Common.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&dontcountme=s&templates=expand'); MediaWiki:Common.css
 * Add this to the top:

@import "http://anime.wikia.com/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Anime-Common.css&action=raw&ctype=text/css&templates=expand";
 * MediaWiki:Sync groups
 * This should be a space separated list of tags from the list "anime manga games cards semantic" which are relevant to the wiki.

Once the bot flag is setup I can sync. ~ NOTASTAFF Dantman(Local Talk &#8285; Animanga Talk)


 * Yeah, I haven't done much related to Wikia at all lately... don't forget that all the templates are editable. You can edit w:c:anime:Template:ACGNetwork yourself. I was actually trying to erase the use of that template with the new animanga queue but I don't know if that'll ever be finished so go ahead and edit that template. I'll try to look back at adding wiki to the sync que later. ~ NOTASTAFF Dantman(Local Talk &#8285; Animanga Talk) 05:45, September 19, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks! I will...or I would anyway if I was an amateur.

What is the purpose of this wiki?
Before I spend much time on this, what exactly is the point of this wiki?

I have scanned a few pages and the ones that I have scanned seemed to be riddled with fanon or personal conjecture. There are virtually no references to canon or interviews on any of the pages.

If the purpose of this wiki is to present the facts then there is a lot of work that needs to be done. If the purpose of this wiki is to provide a place for fans to submit their own interpretations of what is not present in the canon (fanon) then I am not going to waste my time here.

Thanks.

Really Need a Layout Guide
I decided to spend a little time on the wiki today and realized that the layout of the character pages is all over the place. I did a little looking at other wikis and really liked the layout of the Bleach wikia articles. I also noticed that they have a published Layout Guide. I believe that it would benefit this wiki if we were to develop and post something very similar.

I laid out the Hikaru Gosunkugi page this way. Please take a look at it and some of the pages on the Bleach site and let me know.

As it stands right now our character pages are all over the place with no real standardization on wording or ordering of categories.

Also, I LOVE the scroll box that they have for their references and have a prototype made for this site. I am not real happy with the look right now, but will try to fix it later.

Hi. Sonic & Scrab Master. First time on this wikia. Huge fan of Ramna 1/2. Wanna be friends? Sonic & Scrab  Master

Re: Need help fixing a Template
I found a problem with an if statement, which was simply that it was missing its closing double-brace, so it was getting jumbled into the next part of the template. As it's written right now, it would look for the parameter "manga" to be set to anything; if it is, it prints the "Chapter Navigation" header; if not, it doesn't print anything. That would probably work better if it used the if statement against both the "next" and "previous" values, which is a bit more complex because it requires some boolean computations (something like ). As an FYI: those if statements and the ones like them are covered at ; the  is used to insert a "|" (i.e. when you're including a table chunk in an if statement, since using an actual "|" isn't possible because it would show up as a piece of the if statement); and the words in triple braces simply refer to parameters passed to the template when it's included on a page. Let me know if you need anything else done with it. Cheers, JeremyGU (t &middot; c) 05:45, July 30, 2010 (UTC)

Measurements in the profiles
I've tried to stay silent on this, but I felt I should ask. A number of the character profiles have been updated to include measurements of speculated weight, lifting capacity, height, speed, etcetera... however, while the displays these measurements have been made from are based on actual scenes from the manga and anime, the measurements themselves and the calculations that they were derived from are all the results of fan-speculation. Thusly, do they have a place here, seeing as how they are very open to interpretation and not canonical facts? It is an undeniable fact that, say, female Ranma was capable of lifting a boulder large enough that she could use it to wedge open the jaws of the Orochi's main head and swam underwater while carrying it quickly enough that she was able to use it to prevent the Orochi from eating Akane, but precisely how much it weighed or how strong this makes Ranma has never been precisely stated by the original author. This series is not like the Marvel Universe, where there are official comments from the author noting that "this character can lift up to 617 tons" and the like.

I intend to stick to writing up the Ranma anime episodes, where I belong, so I leave this matter in your hands. On an aside, the user DaveA vaguely reminds me of an editor from TVTropes.org who called himself "Antvasima"... said editor more or less got himself banned (then took up a new identity, "SensuBean", and got into trouble again) because of highly opinionated edit warring over the Ranma 1/2 articles on that website. I'm not saying that they are Antvasima, in fact I'm pretty sure they're not, but I felt you should be aware that I had my suspicions.

RE: RE: Measurements in the profiles
I wasn't sure where I was supposed to go to make this reply, so forgive me if I put it in the wrong place. Thank you for weighing in with your official answer on the subject; I have promised myself I will not provoke troubles by making any edits to the character profile pages, so I will leave it to you in regards removing the measurements and persuading DaveA not to enter them again. I also don't think that DaveA neccessarily is Antvasima, or a bad person either way, but the similarities made me suspicious, and I just thought I'd let you know in case things do start turning sour so that you would be able to head things off. Part of the reason I intend to avoid making future edits to the character profile pages is to avoid causing an edit war.

As for not signing in myself, before, I wasn't aware I needed to do so or how to do so, so please accept my apologies for that.Ranime Codexer 21:16, October 15, 2010 (UTC)Ranime Codexer

thx
Thx 4 the welcome on my talk page :) --Boris Baran 08:27, January 30, 2011 (UTC)

G.O.D.M.A.
Good Old Days Martial Arts is only shown in one episode, but that shouldn't make it hard to find pictures of it in action. I'll also need pictures of Tamari Kaminarimon if were to have her profile started here. Please and thank-you! --MysteryGirl 23:31, February 25, 2011 (UTC)

thx for the new pic.--Boris Baran 23:18, February 26, 2011 (UTC)

Spotlight Request
Hi. For the most part Ranma Wiki looks great and congratulations on resuscitating it. That said, you appear to have copied over a bunch of Dantman's tagsync anime pages and templates, but not gotten it working yet. Could you please talk to him about getting it working properly on your wiki? Having so many broken pages is distracting. Once that is in place let me know on my talk page and I will check the wiki again; offhand the only other issues I saw were a few uncategorized pages and that you need to customize the skin so if you get the templates working I think it would be a great wiki to spotlight. -- Wendy (talk ) 01:36, February 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi. There are still a bunch of broken pages (eg. Property:Gender) -- I think they are all the tagsync ones actually.  Could you clean those up?  There are also a small handful of uncategorized pages.  It looks like you customized the skin a bit so that's great :).  Let me know when that's done and I'll do one last check (mostly to make sure you have enough non-stub content; it's hard to figure out with the property pages), but I think the wiki will be good at that point.  -- Wendy  (talk ) 06:26, March 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * Oh good. I'm glad you got everything straightened out. Much more fun to browse now!  I have added the wiki to the approved spotlight list.  -- Wendy  (talk ) 03:12, March 16, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Tagsynced Pages
You might as well just remove the tagsynced messages from them. I'm not running that bot anymore, Wikia has made doing any techy stuff here too much of a hassle. ~ NOTASTAFF Dantman(Local Talk &#8285; Animanga Talk) 21:20, February 27, 2011 (UTC)

Property Pages
You can delete those, those are property pages for semantic animanga wiki, I don't know why they ended up synced here. ~ NOTASTAFF Dantman(Local Talk &#8285; Animanga Talk) 20:15, March 5, 2011 (UTC)

Wikia Anime on Twitter
Hello, I'm Kate from the Wikia Content team. We are trying to create a WikiaAnime Twitter group, where all of the amazing wikis can come together and share their most exciting information, and hopefully get a lot of new users! To join, all you need to do is post this Twitter button and tweet list on your main page.



Then you can visit the Anime Twitter Suggestions Page and post tweets you'd like to see, with links back to your wiki.

Please share this with your other members and admins and see if it's something they'd be interested in joining! Let me know if you have any questions, and we hope to see you there!
