Hi, I'm Dinoguy1000! I am an occasional contributor here (for the record, I have 16,677 edits - full list). Feel free to leave me messages; I'll respond as soon as I can. If you have questions about another wiki I edit on, you should leave me a message on my talk page there; for non-wiki websites and other stuff, it's probably best to email me.

Maintenance and cleanup Edit

AWB stuff Edit

So I don't have to keep working out how to do simple stuff - see also /awbtest.

Template replace Edit

{{Errata
|name=%%pagename%%
}}

replaced with 

{{Navigation}}

"Options" tab:

  • "Automatic changes" boxes all unchecked
  • "Find and replace" box checked; "Normal settings":
    • {{Errata\s\|name=\s*?%%pagename%%\s}} replaced with {{Navigation}}
      • \s = newline/whitespace
      • \| = pipe
      • \s*? = 0 or more whitespace characters, lazy match
      •  %%pagename%% = {{PAGENAME}}
    • "Regex" and "Enabled" boxes checked
    • all other boxes unchecked

Unofficial name Edit

'''''The Arabic name given is an approximation.'''''

(example only; there's quite a bit of variety in practice - see the range of regexes below) replaced with 

{{Unofficial name|Arabic}}

"Options" tab:

  • "Automatic changes" boxes all unchecked
  • "Find and replace" box checked; "Normal settings":
    • '*The \[\[Card Names\:%%pagename%%\|(.+?)]],? name given is an approximation\.'* replaced with {{Unofficial name|$1}}
      • '* = any number of consecutive ' (apostrophes)
      • \[ = opening square bracket
      • \: = colon (escaping it isn't strictly necessary but AWB doesn't like it unescaped)
      •  %%pagename%% = {{PAGENAME}}
      • \| = pipe
      • (.+?) = any word, 1 or more characters (lazy match)
      • ,? = 0 or 1 commas
      • \. = period (works without escaping, but could lead to weird results since an unescaped period actually matches any character)
    • '*The (.+?)\,? name given is an approximation\.'* replaced with {{Unofficial name|$1}}
      • \,? = 0 or 1 commas, escaped to keep it from matching in (.+?)
    • '*The (.+?)\,? (.+?)\,? (.*?)\,? (.+?)\,? (.+?)\,? and (.+?)\,? names given are approximations\.'* replaced with {{Unofficial name|$1|$2|$3|$4|$5|$6}}
    • '*The (.+?)\,? (.+?)\,? (.+?)\,? (.+?)\,? and (.+?)\,? names given are approximations\.'* replaced with {{Unofficial name|$1|$2|$3|$4|$5}}
    • '*The (.+?)\,? (.+?)\,? (.+?)\,? and (.+?)\,? names given are approximations\.'* replaced with {{Unofficial name|$1|$2|$3|$4}}
    • '*The (.+?)\,? (.+?)\,? and (.+?)\,? names given are approximations\.'* replaced with {{Unofficial name|$1|$2|$3}}
    • '*The (.+?)\,? and (.+?)\,? names given are approximations\.'* replaced with {{Unofficial name|$1|$2}}
    • "Regex" and "Enabled" boxes are checked (for all)
    • all other boxes unchecked

Card image uploading fun Edit

{{OCG-TCG card image
| name   = {{ subst:#replace: {{ subst:#explode: {{ subst:#replace: {{ subst:#replace: {{ subst:#replace: {{subst:PAGENAME}} | ' | ' }} | " | " }} | & | & }} | - | 0 }} | ***ABBR*** }}
| set    = ***ABBR***
| region = ***LN***
| rarity = {{ subst:#explode: {{ subst:#explode: {{subst:PAGENAME}} | - | 2 }} | . | 0 }}
}}
{{Watermark}}

Archetype searches Edit

This query is useful for looking for cards that a support card for an archetype will support: 

"Japanese archetype name here" site:yugioh.wikia.com "other card information" -"card game counterpart" -intitle:user
  • The quotes around the archetype string prevent Google from being too smart forits own good and sometimes not just searching for the Japanese text, but also the English translation, thus preventing lots of irrelevant results from appearing.
  • The "other card information" prevents SMW list pages from appearing, since most of those list the Japanese names of cards and thus will otherwise appear in the results. It also prevents character versions of cards from appearing, since they don't use {{CardTable2}}.
  • The -"card game counterpart" prevents Bandai, DDM, Capsule Monsters, etc. counterparts to OCG/TCG/anime/manga/VG cards from appearing in the results, since these generally don't get added to archetypes.
  • The -intitle:user prevents user pages from appearing in the results (in the offchance there's a card with the word "user" in its name, this would miss that, but a quick query suggests that isn't the case).

For archetypes with names that have Ruby text, it's generally more useful to search for the base text and Ruby text separately then to try both at once.

Unofficial names and lores Edit

I add the templates {{Unofficial name}} and {{Unofficial lore}} to card pages when I have reason to believe that the name(s)/lore(s) in question really are unofficial. Generally, I'll add these tags to card pages for cards which appeared in Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL (since that series has no official version yet), or cards which have not appeared in any anime/manga/video game (according to that card page) and have not had an English release (this means that most of my tagging is for English names and lores). If I tag something as unofficial that is actually official, please call me on it, and if possible, link me to somewhere that I can find similar official names/lores (e.g. if the English name is confirmed as official because the card appeared in an English video game, link me to a list of the English names of cards for that video game). Sources for official names include the obvious officially translated anime/manga/video games, but also extends to action figures, clothing, posters, commercials, press releases, etc.

Translators Edit

This is a list of users I know to be actively translating card information into other languages (the language/s they work in, linked to the relevant category/ies when applicable, follows their name). If you do similar work, or if you see an inaccuracy or omission in the list, please feel free to add or update the information. =)

To deprecate/delete Edit

Replacement SVGs to the right. Note that some of them are probably incorrect, since I'm listing them from memory (feel free to correct any you notice), and some obviously haven't been uploaded yet.

Haiku Edit

Manga, anime...
Card effects come and go, as
might a summer breeze
Motorbikes and cards
do not seem like they'd mix well.
First Ride incomplete.

Card lists Edit

Note: I'm probably going to just start from scratch; I've learned *a lot* about template coding since I created these.

Colors for rows:

Here's a test of some card list templates for users to use to show what and how many cards they have.

Todo Edit

  • Improve formatting and styling
    • TOTAL column bg should be a different color
    • totals should be bold
    • Allow user-specified styling (pretty simple to do, I hope...)
      • Default and user-specified even- and odd-row styles? (how will it work with auto-hiding rows?)
  • Add set total row (must be done set-by-set... ugh.)
  • Implement hidden rows and columns... (hidden columns work all-or-none for a given set)
    • when no copies of a card are owned (only in row, not in boosterrow or promorow (which will be replaced by row anyways))
      • No specific column naming (e.g. col1, col2, col3... instead of mu, m1, su, etc.)
    • for more specific collection nuances (e.g. Magic vs. Spell) (partially done... main and region headers play nice, as does row) (hmm... I've got to rework it, see above)
  • Ultimate Rares get their own rows (and/or sections) (actually, no set has magic/spell and UtRs (at least in the TCG, not sure about the OCG), so I can reuse the appropriate columns). How about errata/misprint cards?
  • Test thoroughly (i.e. make template for several sets, use own collection for a basis)
  • Move templates out of sandbox when done testing
  • Make a template for every set
    1. English-region
      1. Booster (and SE and SP) sets
      2. Reprint sets
      3. Duelist packs
      4. Videogame sets
      5. Tournament/Premium packs
      6. Duelist League sets
      7. Championship sets
      8. Any other promo sets
    2. Japanese-region
      1. see above
    3. any others
