Please add a full summary for all the images you have uploaded, and will upload in the future. If you do not know how to make one, simply go to another image, press edit (but don't save), and alter the summary there to rightly describe your image. Please let me or another Administrator know if you need any further assistance! Diamonddeath (talk) 08:19, December 13, 2015 (UTC)

Righto then. Sorry for the inconvenience.Wikification (talk) 09:27, December 13, 2015 (UTC)

Wendy Naugus
So, are you suggesting that if, hypothetically, they put a character named Witchcart into the Archie comic alongside Wendy Naugus (without the plot device of additional relatives or alternate selves/realities in play), they would be so different that them existing side-by-side wouldn't be awkward at all? Witchcart had no defining characteristics other than being a VERY generic witch (and possibly just being a crazy old lady, but that's never officially confirmed or denied). Wendy may be a different species (maybe. the game never explicitly stated Witchcart was human, though it would be natural to assume that) but she still resembles Witchcart in every way that counts and fulfills the same exact role (literally, as the game's plot is canon to the comics) to the point that saying they should be considered seperate characters is, quite frankly, splitting hairs to the point of ridiculousness.

Look, I didn't make a fuss when you changed my first edit under "Background Information", I just wanted to highlight another possibility around the restrictions. Anyway, I don't feel like going on about this. I tried to make compromise with my last edit on that article, but since you're still not satisfied I'll remove my edits on the page. Don't think I'll be doing that every time though. Wikification (talk) 12:11, February 11, 2016 (UTC)

Okay, thank you. I'm sorry I blew up like that. It was very unprofessional of me. Though I stand by what I've said. But I promise to try to be more even tempered and professional in the future and not throw stupid tantrums like that. Honestly, I'm embarassed. Patrick666 (talk) 14:13, February 11, 2016 (UTC)

...Yeah, that's alright :). I dealt with things like this in the past. Although I'd like to put my edits of an alternate possibility back on the article, I'll continue to leave them off to avoid anymore conflict. Wikification (talk) 02:06, February 12, 2016 (UTC)

So... I went ahead and put that alternate possibility thing back into the background section (slightly reworded). I've had long enought to mull it over, and I realise that I was in the wrong and I was being unreasonable. Again, I'm sorry for acting like such a jerk.

Question
Why did you move pages to titles such as "Walter Naugus (Pre-SGW)" and "Ixis Naugus (Post-SGW)"? That wasn't really need at all... :/ ★ WindStar7125   Talk    Contribs  17:16, March 25, 2016 (UTC)

I know. X(

I thought I could fix things using redirects and renaming pages, but as you saw it just became one big cluster. I'm sorry about that. Just trying to help and failed. I'll let you handle things. Wikification (talk) 17:27, March 25, 2016 (UTC)
 * Oh, don't worry, I'm not mad, I was just a bit confused there ^^ Here, I'm asking an admin to try to fix it a bit. I added a new feature to the Parent Tab template, and I'll show you how to use it once things settle down first. :P ★ WindStar7125   Talk    Contribs  17:30, March 25, 2016 (UTC)

re: Missed one?
Lol oh boy. I did miss that one. Thanks! I guess I'll use it as an example. :P Okay. So I added new parameters to the Parent Tab template, called  and. Basically, it's for using the Parent Tab to link two different pages together, rather than just "Page" and "Page/Pre-SGW", it'll link together "Page" and "Page". If that makes sense, lol. Basically, let's say there are two pages that have roughly the same subject, but different names Pre-Super Genesis Wave and Post-Super Genesis Wave (Like Sonic's World and Mobius). Since "Sonic's World" is the Post-SGW article, use " " in the Parent Tab template to customize the link for the second tab (which links to the "Pre-SGW" article). "Mobius" is the Pre-SGW article, so use " " to customize the link for the first tab (which links to the "Post-SGW" article). With this, we'll no longer have to use redirects to make the tabs work. ^^ For pages with infoboxes, like Walter Naugus and Ixis Naugus, simply use " " inside the infobox on Walter's page, and " " in the infobox on Ixis' page. It's also important to never use the  and   parameters on the same page. ^^ I'll use King Acorn as an example to show you. :P 01:07, March 26, 2016 (UTC)

Alright then. But just so it's clear, we can still use the original method (as in name/Pre-SGW) for characters, groups, etc, that have the same names in both timelines (example: Sonic the Hedgehog for the new world and Sonic the Hedgehog/Pre-SGW for the old world) right, or do you have something else in mind of that? Wikification (talk) 01:56, March 26, 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes, that won't change. :) We'll still use that method. 02:00, March 26, 2016 (UTC)

Article Merge/Tabbing Request
Hey, major kudos for all the work you've been doing lately! Would you consider merging the Egg Army and Dark Egg Legion pages and giving them the same treatment? We feel they should've been considered one and the same to begin with and we dunno how they ended up as separate pages. Thanks! TheFatPanda (talk) 20:41, March 30, 2016 (UTC)


 * It appears WildStar7125 has already done that for you. Sorry I didn't respond to you sooner. Wikification (talk) 23:38, March 30, 2016 (UTC)

All that Editing
Wow, thanks for all the help with editing those articles. As a result, I am promoting you to Admin :D I still don't understand how to do it, though. Can you show me? Diamonddeath (talk) 18:13, April 1, 2016 (UTC)
 * Congrats on getting admin rights man ^^ I really think you deserve it :D 18:48, April 1, 2016 (UTC)

You both got them, so congrats to the both of you, and thanks so much for all your hard work! Diamonddeath (talk) 18:48, April 1, 2016 (UTC)

Thank you both very much for the kind words, and congrats to WindStar7125 for becoming one one too, he's really helped out here. But although I really appreciate being made admin, I didn't really want to become one myself. Let's just say that there are some responsibilities to being an admin I probably won't live up to in the future. Of course I will still continue to make edits and contributions here, though I'd prefer to do it as a user than an admin, despite the benefits. Wikification (talk) 03:53, April 2, 2016 (UTC)


 * Well, after giving it some more thought, I've decided to remain as an admin for now. I'd probably be contributing to the articles mostly, but I might sort some problems out on here if they happen to surface, and when I get the time. Wikification (talk) 14:12, April 3, 2016 (UTC)


 * I see. Good to hear! If you ever want to become a different user level, just let me know, but I think you're able to do it yourself now if I'm not mistaken. Diamonddeath (talk) 18:50, April 9, 2016 (UTC)

Split Article Titles
I'll post this here because no one seems to be checking the forum:
 * The major reason I want to rename it is because I want the articles to be understandable for new readers/fans. A new reader/fan joining the book after the reboot won't know what "Post-SGW" and "Pre-SGW" mean, regardless if they know there was a reboot. Even if it used the full title of "Post-Super Genesis Wave" and "Pre-Super Genesis Wave", a new reader/fan might not know what those are or what they even mean. So, I thought it would be way easier to understand for new readers/fans if the split articles were given titles that helped to better define what they actually are. Some ideas for titles that are self explanatory and not confusing for "Post-SGW" are "Current Timeline", "New Timeline", and "Current" and for "Pre-SGW" are "Previous Timeline", "Old Timeline", "Original Timeline", and "Pre-Reboot".

So, basically, I want the titles to be user friendly to new fans/readers. As an informative online encyclopedia, we should try to be as easy to understand as possible, especially for something first seen in the article such as an article title. which shouldn't be using acronyms in the first place. I don't want to turn people off with confusion. Diamonddeath (talk) 18:52, April 9, 2016 (UTC)


 * I'm not against this idea (even although I prefer it as it currently is). However, it's possible that there might be a lot of editing involved if we did change it, as many old continuity pages already have /Pre-SGW in their titles and that might lead to some confusion as to making the template do what you want it to do, Unless WildStar can come up with something. (Edit: Scratch that, after looking at it again, it should be very easy to change the name without any complications. :))


 * Also, as for tag names, I suggest calling the new timeline "Current" or "Current Timeline" and the old timeline "Original" or "Original Timeline". Wikification (talk) 20:22, April 9, 2016 (UTC)

re: image problem
Fixed. Simply insert  in category pages that have that problem. 18:28, April 16, 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I'll start doing that to category pages if start looking too funny :). Wikification (talk) 18:33, April 16, 2016 (UTC)

Tab timeline articles
Just a thought, wouldn't it make more sense to put the two timeline articles under tabs? TheFatPanda (talk) 22:19, April 17, 2016 (UTC)
 * Good thinking. WildStar's already done it. Wikification (talk) 22:26, April 17, 2016 (UTC)
 * Lol, "WildStar" ^^ 22:33, April 17, 2016 (UTC)

Oops, sorry...WandStar ;). Wikification (talk) 22:47, April 17, 2016 (UTC)

Help with categories
Hey, if you haven't noticed I've recently been going around adding some new categories to issue pages: the months they were released. This is for use with the new "In this month..." feature on the front page. If you don't mind, would you help me pick up the slack on these? I've already added the catergories to everything except the Sonic X issues and every Sonic issue after issue 60. It'd be a great help! TheFatPanda (talk) 23:36, April 19, 2016 (UTC)
 * I would, but I don't know the months each comic were released in. I'll see if I can find out and then aid you in this. Wikification (talk) 09:56, April 20, 2016 (UTC)
 * Oh you don't need to do all of them, just evening out the sheer bulk is fine. Thanks, I'll handle any you may have missed ^^ TheFatPanda (talk) 15:39, April 20, 2016 (UTC)

Genesis Wave article
Hey, could you split Genesis Wave into two articles please? Thanks! TheFatPanda (talk) 01:22, April 25, 2016 (UTC)

Captain Metal
How do you suppose we should handle Captain Metal's article? TheFatPanda (talk) 03:01, April 29, 2016 (UTC)


 * Probably the same way as the Mecha Sally article. We already have dual pages for Metal Sonic. Edit: Now that we have a dual reality icon, I guess we can use it on the article, even though the character appears more in one continuity then the other. What do you think? Wikification (talk) 03:05, April 29, 2016 (UTC)
 * It's hard to say since, by all accounts, his existence doesn't make sense in the context of the Super Genesis Wave. TheFatPanda (talk) 03:35, April 29, 2016 (UTC)
 * Well, how about this: Captain Metal goes with the Post-SGW timeline because that is when that version of the character is introduced. However, perhaps we should delete his history as Metal Sonic V3.3 on the Captain Metal article and instead leave a link on the page leading to Pre-SGW/Metal Sonic article to show his existence as Metal Sonic V3.3 there.
 * As for Mecha Sally (might as well), she goes with the Pre-SGW timeline because she only as a memory or a vision in the Post-SGW timeline. If we label her as duel, it would sort of mean that all memories that the Post-SGW Freedom Fighters have about the Pre-SGW timeline would also be duel. Wikification (talk) 04:29, April 29, 2016 (UTC)


 * Sure lets go with that =P TheFatPanda (talk) 22:23, April 30, 2016 (UTC)


 * Alright then. Wikification (talk) 05:06, May 1, 2016 (UTC)

Reaquested page splits
Hey, sorry to bother you again, but I just wanted to direct your attention to these three pages that I believe could do with being split: Thanks again! TheFatPanda (talk) 23:53, April 30, 2016 (UTC)
 * Prime Zone
 * Multiverse
 * Zone


 * I'm not sure about the first two, but I have split the Zone article. Wikification (talk) 10:30, May 1, 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks! But why can't you do the other two? TheFatPanda (talk) 21:52, May 1, 2016 (UTC)
