Welcome

Hi, welcome to Katawa Shoujo Wiki! Thanks for your edit to the User talk:Schiffy page.

Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything! Schiffy (talk) 21:49, June 16, 2013 (UTC)

Categories

By all means, please do so. I put most of those categories there to do my best at leaving Special:Uncategorizedpages empty. Feel free to go through Special:Allpages or Special:Categories and fix whatever you see fit, adding or removing categories wherever you see it necessary. Schiffy (Speak to me|What I've done) 21:53, June 16, 2013 (UTC)

Oh, of course that's fine. User subpages aren't counted towards things like pagecount, and I use one as well. Schiffy (Speak to me|What I've done) 22:03, June 16, 2013 (UTC)
So, great job so far, and I like the idea of a character template. As for those two images, I'm not sure why, as they aren't protected, so it may be a Wikia issue. Just tell me what you want those two categorized under and I'll put them there.  SchiffyTalk to meView my work23:43,6/16/2013 UTC
For a template, if you can, a simple collapsible template separated into sections such as the main characters (5 girls, Hisao, Kenji, and Misha), and another with some of the secondary/minor characters (Mutou, Nurse, Nomiya, Jigoro, Meiko, Akira, etc.), maybe separate that into two sections if you want. As for the plot summaries, yeah, alot of those still have to be done. I will find the time to work on them, and a few character pages have to be filled out as well. I'll get to what I can.  SchiffyTalk to meView my work01:55,6/17/2013 UTC

No worries, I'm not asking for anything crazy or complicated. Anyway, it looks great so far. Keep up the good work, and no rush.  SchiffyTalk to meView my work03:00,6/17/2013 UTC

Alright, I understand, given the time of year and all. And since this is such a small wiki, leniency is pretty easy to practice. When you're on a wiki for the Big Manga Three, as I like to call them, (Bleach, Naruto, One Piece), the admins can't really afford to be lenient given the high possibility of vandalism (which we get here, but it's all pretty manageable). Anyway, since you made the base templates, I can manage working on the last one and putting characters in and such, so you don't have to worry about that quite as much.  SchiffyTalk to meView my work03:09,6/17/2013 UTC
Well, you can be sure it took me by surprise, but being such a small wiki, seeing someone want to help out is great. I really appreciate the work you put in.  SchiffyTalk to meView my work03:16,6/17/2013 UTC
You mean like the game CG's or backgrounds and such? Not a problem. However, I think Wikia might have something against the explicit ones, so I have to ask you to hold off on anything in that regard until I do some checking.  SchiffyTalk to meView my work23:52,6/18/2013 UTC
Again, we're talking like game GC's and sprites and all that stuff? Because that's fine. I'm going to go check w:c:community and see if I can get an answer on those ones, though.  SchiffyTalk to meView my work23:58,6/18/2013 UTC
And the post is up.... please allow 6-8 weeks for a response....  SchiffyTalk to meView my work00:21,6/19/2013 UTC
Oh, it's all out. Just, some plot summaries on here need to be finished. I'm okay at doing that, but I feel I'd either use far too much detail or far too little.  SchiffyTalk to meView my work00:42,6/19/2013 UTC

Image deletion

I took care of it, but I think you can move images (i.e. rename) without admin powers. Frankly, I want to give you admin powers, but I only have sysop, so I can't. Only the person in the bureaucrat user group can do that. I plan to talk to him if I can find him on.  SchiffyTalk to meView my work15:11,6/21/2013 UTC

Images continued

I actually have a slightly better idea, one that will, in the long run, avoid page cluttering. I'm going to transfer a tabber template over to this wiki, and that way, each character and route can have an image gallery in the form of a sub-page. It should probably only take me a short time to fully work in, as other wikis have the template already made that I can transfer over.  SchiffyTalk to meView my work17:28,6/21/2013 UTC

That's pretty easy to do, that's to Ctrl+X and Ctrl+V. I already did it with Shizune, so the rest should be easy. I can do the rest of the character pages. If you want to do the same thing to the route pages, and just add the CG's that go to those routes to the sub-pages, feel free. I also got an answer on the "explicit" CG's. Turns out, Wikia does have a global policy, and those images won't pass. Everything else will, though.  SchiffyTalk to meView my work17:41,6/21/2013 UTC
Sorry about the confusion. CG's has more or less become a colloquial term for anything that shows up in the "Gallery" section of the game's extra's menu. For example, some of the images you've uploaded, but not the sprites or general backdrops. Anyway, what I did so far is give each character an image gallery sub-page. The different plot pages don't have that yet. So for example, a page like "Lilly's Route/Image Gallery" could have the gallery pictures that show up throughout her route, and Lilly's character page image gallery could have any images with her that might be important.  SchiffyTalk to meView my work17:55,6/21/2013 UTC
Frankly, they could go in both. Because the image gallery's are separate pages, some of the images being in more than one isn't a problem. For example, the image with Hisao walking with Shizune and Misha that you uploaded could go in image galleries for Shizune, Misha, and Shizune's Route, where sprites like Misha in the "Bush Cheney" shirt would probably just go in her own.  SchiffyTalk to meView my work18:01,6/21/2013 UTC

Oh, and for the record, I have a folder with all the sprites on my computer, without the backgrounds behind them.  SchiffyTalk to meView my work18:03,6/21/2013 UTC

Yeah... that's a pain alright. Blame Wikia for that one. If need be, There could always be a notice saying such and having an external link to the rest. They said the wiki can't have the images, they didn't say anything about a link to them.  SchiffyTalk to meView my work18:09,6/21/2013 UTC
Here's what I was thinking. If you look in the editor at say, Shizune's page for example, you'll see the Tabber template at work. The way it's set up, the names of the tabs link to the current page's sub-pages with that name. The routes could have the same thing. The page that it's linking to, let's use for example "Shizune's Route/Image Gallery" would have to be created, but once it is, the tab with that link will go to that page. And then that gallery would have whatever images may apply.  SchiffyTalk to meView my work18:15,6/21/2013 UTC
That shouldn't be too hard. It can just be separated by the section headings by using multiple ='s  SchiffyTalk to meView my work18:30,6/21/2013 UTC

Congradurations!

(Title intentionally misspelled)

Since I now have been handed bureaucratic rights, I have given you a surprise. Enjoy it.  SchiffyTalk to meView my work01:37,6/24/2013 UTC

Sorry, I don't swing that way..... Anyway, yeah, with all the help you've put in in such a short time, you deserve it. I've noticed you're an admin on at least one other wiki, so I figure you've been given the "don't abuse it" bit before.  SchiffyTalk to meView my work01:49,6/24/2013 UTC
There's really no major policies here like some larger wiki's have. Basically, just try as best as you can to keep the place free of vandalism, that's what I've been doing mostly, along with filing out missing info wherever you find it necessary, and yada yada, et cetera et cetera. I also notice you've been using the fair use template. I'm not entirely sure how necessary it is, given that the game is licensed under Creative Commons and not under any DMCA policies, but that's your call. Oh, and feel free to fuck around with the theme designer if you want. I tried a while back, couldn't get anything to look good.  SchiffyTalk to meView my work02:10,6/24/2013 UTC
Like I said, your call. Frankly, I think I'm just gonna go and make a similar template for Creative Commons licensing, since KS isn't really bound by DMCA policies.  SchiffyTalk to meView my work02:23,6/24/2013 UTC
Just use {{CreativeCommons}} and you're set.  SchiffyTalk to meView my work02:27,6/24/2013 UTC

Hisao Image Gallery et. al

Yeah, it's fine. I see no reason for it not to be there. I'm all for the idea of splitting it into sections for each act in each route, and I have a simple way to go about it.  SchiffyTalk to meView my work22:43,6/26/2013 UTC

Also, as for that Emi image, you must have noticed that I didn't get rid of it. I don't like the policy, but we have to go by it. That image however, nothing wrong with it.  SchiffyTalk to meView my work22:44,6/26/2013 UTC

"Make an account first"

Let me tell you, I want to know how to set the wiki to tell people to sign in before editing, but I think you have to go through Community Central to do that.

Anyway, I don't mind anonymous users editing, but I agree that larger edits should be made by someone signed in....  SchiffyTalk to meView my work03:05,6/28/2013 UTC

I'm not scolding you or anything, don't worry. Like I said, I agree.  SchiffyTalk to meView my work03:17,6/28/2013 UTC

Probably should have linked this a while back

This, for future reference, is the thread I started asking about that global image policy. So far, nothing I have seen that has been uploaded seems to be a problem (yes, that image of Hanako is extremely meaningful and very important to the story), but I figured you should have a link to that thread available for your own interpretation.  SchiffyTalk to meView my work17:35,6/28/2013 UTC

Yeah, I know it doesn't say anything about external links, I came up with that myself. I figured that at some point, though not immediately, a notice along the lines of "Wikia doesn't allow certain images due to the explicit content found within Katawa Shoujo" with a link to the images we can't show here, and a warning stating that they are explicit. Again, nothing immediate, that's just an idea. And as for Hanako.... yeah, you'd have to be some kind of emotionless monster for that not to hit you. So far, her's and Lilly's routes are the only ones I've actually replayed.  SchiffyTalk to meView my work17:54,6/28/2013 UTC
Secretly? Oh no, it's confirmed.
Hisao: (hearing that Lilly anticipated and welcomed the possibility of having sex in the bath) I knew it. You're just as dirty-minded as I am.
Lilly: That's a rather crude way of putting it.
Hisao: Oh? And you would suggest?
Lilly: I merely have a healthy adolescent sex drive.
Hisao: So in other words, dirty-minded.  SchiffyTalk to meView my work18:13,6/28/2013 UTC

Re: Routes

Yeah, I should give it a crack, too. One of the toughest ones is going to be Rin's, if you've ever either played it or seen a breakdown of it. That's going to be one hell of a project.  SchiffyTalk to meView my work00:04,6/29/2013 UTC

Image

Hey, yeah sorry about that i thought i put the image in my profile. But if you do need to delete it it's fine by me. Kinda new to this Wiki thing.

Endofone (talk) 08:33, July 16, 2013 (UTC) Endofone

Actually delete the photo. I figure this is a Wiki so there's no need for fanart.

Activity

Yeah, I don't worry about it too much. I'm not quite as active myself, as this wiki doesn't need as much attention as some larger ones anyway. I've been mostly fixing up anonymous edits and such, so it's really not a huge issue.  SchiffyTalk to meView my work18:24,8/12/2013 UTC
