Welcome
Hi, welcome to ! Thanks for your edit to the User:SuperGilligan93 page.

Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything! CaduRyaq (talk) 04:36, July 13, 2016 (UTC)

No problem, I've been compiling a list for things but never had the time to fully implement it. I'll most likely jump on the stuff when I get a bit more time. Argorrath (talk) 21:59, July 15, 2016 (UTC)

RE:Rights
I cant give you deletion rights (idk even if the wiki got it from central unlike others) but you can go to CaduRyaq for your deletion requests. Argorrath (talk) 06:12, July 18, 2016 (UTC)

RE:Reappearances
No problem! The code is all good, but it's just a bit to much for the space. Argorrath (talk) 08:22, July 19, 2016 (UTC)

RE:Standardizing
Funny enough I was just taking notes from other wikias on how they normally use the info seperating for the article. Most I see contain a list in the order like; *Appearance*, *Biography*, *Personality*, *Gallery*, *Appearances*, *Trivia*, *REFERENCES* *NAVBOX*.

As for the Biography, I say we should go by the *Background*, *CHAPTER #*...etc cos it keeps a continuity of when they are important or not in the chapters themselves. How does that sound? I'm open to they have going on the biography but it could lead to some confusion of when it happens in the timeline.

Also, a look of the character infoboxes there, they are more concise and visually appealing imo to the ones we have. We could use that template and edit it for more efficiency. Argorrath (talk) 07:03, July 27, 2016 (UTC)


 * I think that formatting it in the following order along with the option to leave certain sections out (E.G. Equipment/Personal Effects for Vehra, because she doesn't have any notable equipment) should work pretty well, and that if we keep use of the Appearances Template but at the end of articles (I'll need to mod it for collapsible tables but that won't be hard) it will probably work out fine.
 * Proposed Layout:
 * "The Brief Summary" (no header)
 * "Appearance"
 * "Biography" (broken into sub sections like you mentioned to assist with continuity)
 * "Personality and Traits" (include Appearance and Equipment in there as sub categories)
 * "Behind the Scenes" (such as for Red's Name situation)
 * "Trivia"
 * "References"
 * "Appearances"
 * "Navbox"
 * P.S. I didn't realize how late it is, I guess I'll see what you say in the morning. I'll create a Layout Guide "Project page" tomorrow that we can work on together.
 * SuperGilligan93 (talk) 07:25, July 27, 2016 (UTC)
 * I like the edit you suggested for the *Personality and Traits* because it would go more in depth with the character (The no notable equipment is probably something we'll run into because a lot of characters have that kinda generic loadout (barring Natanis special clothes/Red's sword/keith's general outfit) but I like that. The behind the scenes might be a bit redundant with trivia but I assume the behind the scenes to be for much bigger things a simple trivia header couldn't fully explain. I like it all and yes it's way to late for me Argorrath (talk) 07:37, July 27, 2016 (UTC)
 * I've updated the Twokinds Wiki:Layout Guide (after copying much of it from the star wars wiki) to follow what we were able to agree on to the best of my ability. Feel free to make adjustments as you see fit. SuperGilligan93 (talk) 01:56, July 28, 2016 (UTC)
 * It all looks good, atm the aesthetic of the character infobox seems off and the MediaWiki:Wikia.css needs to be updates/used to upgrade my navboxes because they don't function exactly right. If you could modify the Wikia.css to include some line of navbox coding please let me know cos I have the code needed for it, thanks.Argorrath (talk) 03:48, July 28, 2016 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately I don't have rights to edit Special:CSS, otherwise I would have put the original colors in the Character boxes. I think it requires full Admin priveliges like what CaduRyaq has. I'll ask him about it. SuperGilligan93 (talk) 04:11, July 28, 2016 (UTC)
 * if you get a hold of him, I have the code needed for what he needs to add, also a further edit for the character layout should have a Relationship subsection (which might be sent to its own page if big enough). I say it should go:


 * "Personality and Traits"
 * "Relationships"
 * "Behind the Scenes"....etc, sound good?Argorrath (talk) 06:30, July 28, 2016 (UTC)
 * Done and Done, I even changed Kinship in the Infobox to Relationships to allow brief identification of relationships, preferring to put tribes, etc. in the Factions/Affiliation(s) section. P.S. It's getting to be that hour for me again, but I'll reach out to him to see if either of us (being pretty much the only other active editors) can get those permissions. Have a good night. SuperGilligan93 (talk) 07:21, July 28, 2016 (UTC)
 * He would have to grant access to everyone in order to have us add CSS ourselves. I directed him to MediaWiki talk:Wikia.css, which is where I posted my CSS for the infoboxes.

Some of the pages
Some of them feel a bit tacked on, like they don't really hold a thematical purpose ("Tan-"), while others are most likely just off side characters ("Travel", "Ol' Rinehold"). However those like King Torval, the parents of Z/N's Parents/Brahn's Daughter will most likely be expanded upon.

Maybe we should run some check that allows a character to warrant a page (cos Tallon/Reed/Sivritine are kinda short). Like, they get a page if (Rough draft):
 * Given "screen" (you see them in the foreground/in front) of the page
 * Name clearly stated
 * "Ample" amount of lore

I propose we might make a "Minor Characters" page and move Tan-, Travel, Z/N's Parents and Ol' Rinehold to this page. These 3 could leave said page and become fully independent once more lore/screen time is shown on them despite some off hand lines. Argorrath (talk) 07:51, July 30, 2016 (UTC)


 * Good point. I'll hurry and do that, (redirecting the links in the Navbox to their section of Minor Characters). I'll also add a "Minor Characters" section to the Navbox to contain them. At least you don't delete first and ask questions later like people do on some other wikis I've worked on. SuperGilligan93 (talk) 16:26, July 30, 2016 (UTC)
 * No problem, and I assumed this would be a scenario that would just grow. As the comic will probably hint at more minors, and letting the creator know what might happen tot he article for future use. A Argorrath (talk) 17:15, July 30, 2016 (UTC)
 * Additionally. I think that if a character appears more than twice, that they should also be considered for their own article. Brahn's daughter has appeared 3 or 4 so far as an example, where N&Z's parents have been mentioned once or twice and "shown" only once.  I'm mostly done making the transition to the minor character's article. SuperGilligan93 (talk) 17:34, July 30, 2016 (UTC)
 * I just added a "Article Requirements" section to the Layout guide, trying to prevent my recent "Bad Behavior" :-) from happening with other users in the future". SuperGilligan93 (talk) 19:25, July 30, 2016 (UTC)

This
Know whats causing this: this?Argorrath (talk) 01:36, August 1, 2016 (UTC)


 * Thanks for pointing that out. It was this:
 * [Source]
 * in the Navbox I missed when porting it over to the "portable" Navbox format. I corrected the link so it will route to the actual Infobox.
 * By the way, what do you think of the height info I found? SuperGilligan93 (talk) 01:53, August 1, 2016 (UTC)
 * I think the height info is valid, but we shouldnt stray to far from the source of the comic. Cos Tom does like his random moments to sketch. But the height one is valid. Argorrath (talk) 02:23, August 1, 2016 (UTC)
 * I agree. Hence the citation of the chart in Infobox. We wouldn't want people just inserting what they think is true and passing it off as such. SuperGilligan93 (talk) 02:43, August 1, 2016 (UTC)
