Collective characters
Do you think that creating "collective character" profiles would be a good idea? For example, we never get to know the names of the rugby club members, but they do play a small role in the story. So should we create "rugby club members", "delinquent gangs" articles and so on?

Nuts4everafter 21:01, July 30, 2010 (UTC)

Yes, I think that'd be great. It was just that I didn't know whether it would be too strange to have a character named "Rugby Club" or "Delinquent Gang". But if you think it's okay, I'll get going with it. But we'll have a tough time with the seiyuus! By the way, I was also thinking of creating new articles for the clannad mabinogi and sorarado albums. Could you tell me how you extract those 30 second samples from the original song? I'd like to include some of them.

Nuts4everafter 21:14, July 30, 2010 (UTC)

It would be so great if you could do that for me! Movie Maker crashes often on my computer and, on the rare occasions when it doesn't, it takes a long time to save videos (I mean, when I was preparing the Air soundtrack, it took on average around 26 minutes to save a 4 minute one). As you know, I've posted like... all of the Clannad sountracks that exist on my YouTube account, so you can visit my profile to look for anything. To start with, I'd just need a sample of "Ana" and the six tracks of the original Sorarado album. If we see that this method works, we can continue with the rest of the soundtracks. Thank you very much!

Rounded borders
With regard to your recent changes to MediaWiki:Monaco.css, you should be aware that the "-moz-border-radius" declarations only affects Mozilla Firefox, and not Chrome, Opera, Netscape, Konqueror, or Safari, the other major browsers that support rounded borders.

For each of the "-moz-border-radius" attributes you specify, I would recommend you add an identically-defined "-webkit-border-radius" (Webkit) and "border-radius" (CSS3) declaration. To find the full code of what you need, I suggest you use http://border-radius.com/, since they all use different declarations for, say, "top-right".

Cheers, &#12294;  vonPreußen  &#65295;  talk 


 * Mozilla uses Gecko, so you'll still need to use the "-moz-border-radius" declaration. &#12294;  vonPreußen  &#65295;  talk 


 * The webkit setup looks well, but you've not added CSS3 declarations (which will likely become more useful once Internet Explorer 9 is released, since it's supposed to have "increased support" for CSS3). You also seem to have a disparity between "8px" and "0.8em" declarations (I assume you wanted the ones specified for the Mozilla ones for the following code).  The full code for your various sections should be, with simplified declarations for the latter half...

-moz-border-radius-topleft: 8px; -moz-border-radius-topright: 8px; -webkit-border-top-left-radius: 8px; -webkit-border-top-right-radius: 8px; border-top-left-radius: 8px; border-top-right-radius: 8px; background: #DDD; }      -moz-border-radius-topright: 0.8em; -moz-border-radius-topleft: 0.8em; -webkit-border-top-left-radius: 0.8em; -webkit-border-top-right-radius: 0.8em; border-top-left-radius: 0.8em; border-top-right-radius: 0.8em; }	background: #EEE; color: #333; -moz-border-radius-topright: 0.4em; -moz-border-radius-topleft: 0.4em; -webkit-border-top-left-radius: 0.4em; -webkit-border-top-right-radius: 0.4em; border-top-left-radius: 0.4em; border-top-right-radius: 0.4em; }
 * 1) page_tabs li {

 * 1) wikia_page, #page_tabs li.selected {

.rounded_corners, #wikia_page, #search_box, #link_box, #navigation_widget, #sidebar_1 dl, .community_details, .wk_blogs_title { -moz-border-radius: 0.8em; -webkit-border-radius: 0.8em; border-radius: 0.8em; } .rounded_corners, #page_bar { -moz-border-radius: 0.5em; -webkit-border-radius: 0.5em; border-radius: 0.5em; }

 * Ah, I see, though I'm not sure how that works :P
 * I'm also not sure what you mean by the templates; could you give me an example of one to look at, please? Thanks again, &#12294;  vonPreußen  &#65295;  talk 
 * Oh, wow. I'd never noticed they were supposed to be rounded :P  Erm... yeah, probably a good idea.  Though alternatively, if, say, a 9px curve is common amongst several templates (and I see it's used multiple times ust in that one), you could create a class on MediaWiki:Common.css to specify that and thn just apply it to the templates using ,  , etc.  That is to say, instead of adding a CSS3 declaration many times to that, simply add   to the common CSS, then specify  , etc., and then you could cut out all the style declarations there using the 9px cutoff. &#12294;  vonPreußen  &#65295;  talk 


 * No worries, glad I could help. &#12294;  vonPreußen  &#65295;  talk 


 * Try putting it in MediaWiki:Common.css instead of MediaWiki:Monaco.css. It may also take a while for the cache to clear for template transclsuion once it's added. &#12294;  vonPreußen  &#65295;  talk 


 * Whoops... perhaps I wasn't clear.   is a class, not a style.  So you should specify it using , not  .  Sorry if I was unclear; it looks to be working once that's remedied. &#12294;  vonPreußen  &#65295;  talk

Kanji
Hi there. I'm creating the Rugby Club article, but right now I'm on a computer which doesn't support Japanese text, so all I see are small boxes where kana and kanji should be. I'll create the article and put the corresponding kana/kanji/whatever when I'm on a computer that can actually support Asian characters. I suppose it will be the same with every article I create/edit this weekend.

Nuts4everafter 22:02, July 30, 2010 (UTC)

Ana lyrics
Yes, fixing that would probably be a good idea. However, we really can't do anything about the horrible grammar, I guess. I'll be fixing it today. Do you think that creating a navbox for sorarado and sorarado append (i mean the two cds in a single navbox, like with the clannad original soundtrack navbox which had 3 cds. After all, append is like the sequel.) would be a good idea? Nuts4everafter 22:05, August 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * Okay. I'm writing the Roaring Ocean article right now, but I can't find an English translation anywhere. I know some Japanese myself and I am slowly translating it, but could you try and look to see if you come find some webpage with the translation? I'm still not too confident about my Japanese skills. Or, if you or another administrator know Japanese, could you revise the translation for me? Nuts4everafter 22:05, August 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * Arigatou gozaimasu~ Nuts4everafter 23:49, August 1, 2010 (UTC)

Light orbs?
Do you think it would be okay to make a page regarding them? They are important to the plot as they appear constantly, so I think it'd be good, but if not I understand.--Red 11 02:33, August 6, 2010 (UTC)

Interwiki
Wow, we have interwiki links! :awe: And yet there isn't a Japanese one (which I'd expect before a Vietnamese one, to be honest :P). &#12294;  vonPreußen  &#65295;  talk 
 * Hmm, I didn't know they had to link them. That should just be automatic ._. At any rate, I'm slightly disappointed with hor it's set up; compare http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/fr: (which directs to the French Wikipedia) and http://clannad.wikia.com/wiki/fr: (which gives a bad title error). At any rate, I don't think there are any more.  A quick Google search only shows the Vietnamese one, but as the French one hasn't even been indexed, I suppose there could be others. &#12294;  vonPreußen  &#65295;  talk 

Re: Question
It's a tough decision, however, I'd recommend leaving them in "supporting". To the majority of people who have not finished the series, them being in "main" would be confusing. In fact, I had to rewatch the last few episodes of After Story a few times before I fully began to comprehend their role. All in all, despite their importance, the fact that they are presented as separate entities - for good reason - and only appear minimally wants me to support their classification as "supporting characters".

On a side note, currently rewriting and expanding the After Story article :3 &#12294;  vonPreußen  &#65295;  talk 

AdminMessage
On another note, there is a serious problem on Clannad Wiki:About. While it does not seem to affect Firefox, it does affect Opera (due to my migration to Ubuntu I'm no longer able to test on Internet Explorer, but I imagine some issues would arise there, though likely to a varying degree). I'm not entirely sure what the problem is, but as AdminMessage is locked, I'm unable to test solutions. If you have Opera, you may wish to look into it; otherwise, I'd like to request the aforementioned template's protection be reduced to semi-protection so I can mess around with it and hopefully solve whatever the issue is. Thanks, <span style="font-family:'Adobe Fangsong Std R','Arial Unicode MS';">&#12294;  vonPreußen  &#65295;  talk 
 * Well, I'll take a look at those and see if I can't find what's causing it.
 * On an entirely different note, I was going to make a vector logo for the Clannad ~After Story~ page when I couldn't figure out what font it was written in. When WhatTheFont proved useless, I did some digging and have settled on Eras Bk BT as the font closest to the one used for the Latin letters - though not the wave dashes, which I'm stll searching for the font used.  Just thought I'd leave a note in case you ever found the need for it. <span style="font-family:'Adobe Fangsong Std R','Arial Unicode MS';">&#12294;  vonPreußen  &#65295;  talk 
 * Also, could you kindly delete File:Clannad After Story Logo.svg? Wikia's cache sucks <_< <span style="font-family:'Adobe Fangsong Std R','Arial Unicode MS';">&#12294;  vonPreußen  &#65295;  talk 
 * Oh boy. I came across an error with MediaWiki:Common.css, which specifies

div.thumb { margin: 2px; margin-left: 6px; }
 * Unfortunately, this only works for thumbs floating on the right-hand side, as the left-floated image here shows the margin on the wrong side. You should be able to fix this as follows:

div.tleft margin: 2px; margin-right: 6px; }

div.tright margin: 2px; margin-left: 6px; }
 * Hope this works. <span style="font-family:'Adobe Fangsong Std R','Arial Unicode MS';">&#12294;  vonPreußen  &#65295;  talk 
 * You're welcome. I've also fixed the issue with AdminMessage - it was either the left-float that was unnecessarily applied to the content that was the problem, or it was the fact the content was surrounded by a "span" despite being multi-lined ("div" would have been the correct tag, regardless).  I did notice another disparity between Opera and Firefox which was not caused by the "bug" or the fix, however.  In Opera, the body text is center-aligned; in Firefox, it is left-aligned.  Not sure which you intended it to be, but if you care, it should be able to be remedied by encasing the content parameter in  . <span style="font-family:'Adobe Fangsong Std R','Arial Unicode MS';">&#12294;  vonPreußen  &#65295;  talk 
 * Hmm, that seems to override the "justify" setting in Special:Preferences <_<. Well, I'll see if I can't find a way to overcome that in a sandbox and get back to you. As for being a sysop, I hardly edit enough here to qualify.  Not that I have the best references anyway :p <span style="font-family:'Adobe Fangsong Std R','Arial Unicode MS';">&#12294;  vonPreußen  &#65295;  talk 
 * If you don't mind making a final change to that, since I can't: remove the "div" I told you to put in, and also remove the "center" tags you have around the outside of the infobox css template - they're causing it to be centered in the first place, and are unnecessary as you've already centered the table using the 20%-width column in front of it. That should prevent the centering in Opera and not override the justification setting.  Cheers, <span style="font-family:'Adobe Fangsong Std R','Arial Unicode MS';">&#12294;  vonPreußen  &#65295;  talk

Meaningful Ways to Pass the Time
Hey Pika,

I noticed your recent edits to Meaningful Ways to Pass the Time, and I wondered if it wouldn't be better to add the option to add multiple files to the infobox instead. For an example of how that works code-wise, see here, and the result here.

Just for your consideration, anyway. Cheers, <span style="font-family:'Adobe Fangsong Std R','Arial Unicode MS';">&#12294;  vonPreußen  &#65295;  talk 


 * Certainly. I'll add them in in a few minutes. <span style="font-family:'Adobe Fangsong Std R','Arial Unicode MS';">&#12294;  vonPreußen  &#65295;  talk 


 * And done :) <span style="font-family:'Adobe Fangsong Std R','Arial Unicode MS';">&#12294;  vonPreußen  &#65295;  talk 

Sample files to redirects
As I don't see the purpose of having many, many identical sample files uploaded, would you consider deleting File:Sample.svg and then redirecting those files to File:Example.svg the same way File:Example.jpg (the file inserted when one clicks the "insert file" button) has been? It would make more sense, I think. I'm going to be making an SVG version in the same method as the others (though likely just with an embedded PNG image as the background) since it seems to be an appropriate motif for this Wiki.
 * File:Sample.png
 * File:Sample.gif

Cheers, <span style="font-family:'Adobe Fangsong Std R','Arial Unicode MS';">&#12294;  vonPreußen  &#65295;  talk 
 * And delete Example.jpg, please. I fail at life ._. <span style="font-family:'Adobe Fangsong Std R','Arial Unicode MS';">&#12294;  vonPreußen  &#65295;  talk 
 * Thanks. PNG files can be embedded into an SVG using the data:URI scheme with base64 encoding, the same way I specified my customizations to the wiki logo at User:Michael von Preußen/monaco.css (you can see the "address" of the logo under the   specification). On a (slightly) related note, is there a particular reason you removed the background accents from MediaWiki:Monaco.css?  Just curious. <span style="font-family:'Adobe Fangsong Std R','Arial Unicode MS';">&#12294;  vonPreußen  &#65295;  talk 
 * Yeah, it's odd. They were working fine for me before when I was running them through my user CSS.  Then when you added them back into Monaco, I removed them from my user CSS, and they were working fine.  Then you removed them and I tried to put them back in, and they started blocking stuff off -_-.  <span style="font-family:'Adobe Fangsong Std R','Arial Unicode MS';">&#12294;  vonPreußen  &#65295;  talk 

Monaco
Alright, I've found the issue with the background accents and I believe I've fixed it. When I made the note to you about setting the  ID to , that was an error on my part. While that did solve the issue with the blocked links, it also forced the Wikia logo branding behind the accents (which seemed to have been what prompted you to remove them?). Since you can't lower an element further than than, the solution became raising the element that was being blocked by the accent, lowering the accent to  , and restoring the Wikia branding to. While the very real question remains as to why on earth the accents were raised to  to begin with, this code applied to MediaWiki:Monaco.css should solve the issues being faced: background-image: url(http://images.wikia.com/common/releases_201008.2/skins/monaco/forest/images/forest_left.png); height: 431px; margin-right: 450px; top: -51px; width: 300px; z-index: 0; }
 * 1) Change the z-index of, specified under the   heading, to.
 * 2) Re-add the background-accents using the following code:
 * 3) background_accent1 {

background-image: url(http://images.wikia.com/common/releases_201008.2/skins/monaco/forest/images/forest_right.png); background-position: 400px 0; height: 433px; top: -51px; z-index: 0; } <ol> Add the following code:</li></ol> z-index:2; }
 * 1) background_accent2 {
 * 1) wikia_page {

You can always import the changes into your personal stylesheet to test it first, if you feel it necessary, by adding the code above and specifying the  s-index using: z-index:1; }
 * 1) wikia_header {

Now, while entirely unrelated except for the element of styling, I'd also like to suggest you add the following code to MediaWiki:Monaco.css, to extend the functionality of Wikia's default code. This will extend the rounded corner effect on the user tabs (like My Home, User Page, User Talk, etc.) at the top of user pages, as well as the rounded corners on the search form, to CSS3-compliant browsers: border-top-left-radius: 0.8em; border-top-right-radius: 0.8em; }
 * 1) user_masthead_tabs li {

border-radius: 0.5em; }
 * 1) searchform {

Now, the following code edits something on all browsers: namely, if you look at the "Latest activity" feed along the left, you'll notice that the "outer border" on it has rounded corners on both the top and the bottom; however, the "inner border" only has the rounded corners effect on the top, resulting in the bottom corners appearing to jab outwards. This will extend the rounded borders to those corners on all browsers, as well as eliminating the bottom rounded corners on the outer searchbar holder, to preserve the consistent appearance of the sidebar pieces (the second part of the code, not sure if you'd want to do this gobally or not, so I figured I'd include it here and let you choose). One thing I for some reason cannot get to be fixed is the square corners on the bottom inside of the navigation widget. The others all change fine, that one refuses to. If you have any ideas for that, let me know. For now, though, you can pick and choose what you want to globally implement from here: .widget_contents { -webkit-border-bottom-right-radius: 0.8em; -webkit-border-bottom-left-radius: 0.8em; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 0.8em; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 0.8em; border-bottom-right-radius: 0.8em; border-bottom-left-radius: 0.8em; }

-webkit-border-bottom-right-radius: 0em; -webkit-border-bottom-left-radius: 0em; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 0em; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 0em; border-bottom-right-radius: 0em; border-bottom-left-radius: 0em; }
 * 1) search_box {

Hope this has been helpful, <span style="font-family:'Adobe Fangsong Std R','Arial Unicode MS';">&#12294;  vonPreußen  &#65295;  talk 


 * Thanks for the look, I'll check on that, as well as the ep template. As for Opera, it does not as of 10.61 support gradient declarations.  When it begins to, I'll be sure to get the code needed to render it, as it will either use the CSS3 recommendations or have its own trial specifications, neither of which are presently included in the code. <span style="font-family:'Adobe Fangsong Std R','Arial Unicode MS';">&#12294;  vonPreußen  &#65295;  talk

With this edit, I told it to set absolutely everything to have round borders by default.  And everything did go to round borders... except that element.  With all the options I've tried, Opera confirms that the border-radius property is being passed on to it.  It's just... choosing to ignore it, or something. -.- <span style="font-family:'Adobe Fangsong Std R','Arial Unicode MS';">&#12294;  vonPreußen  &#65295;  talk

Come edit the new wiki; if you do it here people won't see it, probably due to this editing hell.  Look, now, at this immoral page, and see our reasons for moving!".
