[edit] Return
Thank you to everyone who has already began creating articles for CCS! I'm sorry about not being here for a while (about a month or two... >.<), but school problems called.
Anywho, I'm back, if anyone is actually reading this. Erm... Yeah, if you are reading this... Which I hope at least one person is...
[edit] Tons of Tsubasa Info added due to 189 revelation...
Title says it all really, I've added and updated stuff from TRC now that TRC, xxxHolic and CCS are all linked tighter now. Ggctuk 15:06, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, I'm really sorry that I didn't thank you for all of your work on here Ggctuk. I've been here still (although I've been currently editing my userpage and that's about it) and checked over bits of your work. Again, thanks for all the work you've done. Jack
- You're most welcome. Anything to help rectify the revert wars on the Wikipedia side. I'm still figuring how to import the templates though (which many other Wikias have done but there's too many for me alone) Ggctuk 11:28, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Template importing
There's many templates left to import, I've already done loads but we need the lot of the others or the other's won't function correctly. Thankfully, we're about halfway there. Ggctuk 10:31, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
- Finished the navbox for the series. Please tell me what you think:
| {{{Title}}} | |
|---|---|
| Timeline of events | |
| Media | {{{Media}}} |
| Theme Songs | {{{songs}}} |
| Locations | {{{locations}}} |
| Main Characters | {{{characters}}} |
| Minor Characters | {{{characters2}}} |
To use the individual ones for each series, please use "Cardcaptor Sakura", "Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle" and "xxxHolic" (in double-pointed brackets ie {{ }} ). I don't have enough time today to implement them all into their respective pages. Ggctuk 10:23, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Main Page Layout
I've done some modifications to the main page but I've left it a little disorganised. Perhaps we could incorporate a table into the main page to make it look neater? Ggctuk 10:40, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Happy 100th Article!
At last, CCS is up to 100 articles! Happy 100th Article, CCS! Ggctuk 10:19, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
About two weeks late, but yay! Jack
[edit] FAQ
Just a quick questions, why isn't this Wikia called CLAMP － －？？ instead of Cardcaptors Sakura (haha, almost read it as CloudCaptor). Well not that I am against it, but........weird. --Ramu50 22:32, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
Problems
Some of the info like List of Episodes we can directly copy the info directly from Template:Cardcaptor Sakura from the official Wikipedia. However, the only problem is that I don't know why Wikia doesn't support {|class="wikitable". All Wikia should support this by default, I think I am going to contact the administrators on this one.
(minor issue) We actually don't need to recognize Wikipedia GNU FDL licensing as stated by Wikipedia GNU GFDL legal explanations, because Wikipedia itself have deleted a lot of article before on List of Episodes, Characters...etc from non-notable cartoons, magnas and other excuses made by WikiUser. Likewise if you go to Deletionpedia (a database that consists of deleted articles since 2007) you will find them. I found one on List of Tsubasa episodes (before, in more detail form). I will try to give the link, forgot where I save it. Since Wikipedia make no legal clarification on documents that are being deleted or do the license expires, nobody will be sued. And of course modifying ones' content is not violating copyrights, so no need worries. --Ramu50 23:01, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
- Don't copy that, the current table was made to fit the relevant articles. Wikipedia's was there to cover existing articles. Ggctuk 23:03, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
[edit] CardCaptor Sakura Page and Other Bits and Bobs
Considering it's the first link a user will probably see on this wikia, can we work on this page a bit? I think it's great that we're getting the images for the various countries and working on episodes and such, but the page which basically describes the main series in this wikia uses bits from Wikipedia and has a section labelled as a stub. Can we perhaps flesh it out in someway and maybe take out some bits with Wikipedia references and stuff? =)
As such, I've pretty much finished work on that To-Do List I promised. If somebody wants to start transferring over the bits from the To-Do List on the main page, that'd be great. Don't actually remove the To-Do List box however, as I want to decide on how to get a link working between main page and that page.
I'm also thinking about a Featured Article bit on the main page. Any thoughts about this? I'm thinking we can maybe start with Sakura Kinomoto (as that seems to be our best page) and maybe vote on a new featured article for next month after that and take it from there.
So, yeah, any thoughts about all this? --Jack 19:36, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
- *Agrees* Yeah, this is something I've been thinking about for a little while too. I'll try to work on the stub section, since it should be pretty easy, but I'm sure what I can do about the Wikipedia references right now. I also think the Main Page in general needs some work. But formatting Main Pages is kinda what I'm worst at though, so I'm not sure how much I can do to help, but I'll do what I can. (I think we should add some color and customize the skin to match though.)
- I think the Featured Article is a great idea, and that's actually not too hard (judging from what I've seen on other Wikias).
- EDIT: Okay, I kinda slapped something together for the Featured Article. Feel free to edit as you see fit. Right now it would probably look a little like this:
Featured Article 
Sakura Kinomoto is the heroine of CLAMP's anime and manga series Cardcaptor Sakura. Sakura is a fourth grader who one day finds a book in her father's library, who is an archaeologist. When she opens it, the Cards contained within are released. Thus, it becomes her duty to re-capture all the Cards. Along the way, Sakura finds an ally/rival in Syaoran Li, a transfer student from Hong Kong who came to capture the cards for himself. (more...)
- I didn't add it to the front page yet because I assume you probably want to fix it up or make room for it or something. --HopeHime4 21:21, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
- Doesn't seem too bad to me. I might have a fiddle round with it in a bit (if not today, tommorrow) and maybe change bits around a bit. It looks pretty good to me though (the only thing I think we should have extra is maybe a link to where we can vote for a FA, but I'll think about what to do with that in a bit). --Jack 11:20, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Breathing life back into the dead horse...or something...
So, my life has been taken over recently by AS exams, auditions and a variety of other things which, you know, have consumed my time since my last edit back in April - although I've not edited much anyway.
First point I'd like to make is that I'm thinking about having a play about with rights - this wiki isn't really that big, and two sysops seems a lot to me. This is, of course, not meant to offend anybody (because, you know, Ggctuk deserves to be a sysop more than myself from all the work) - it's just that unless we suddenly burst into life, there aren't enough edits being made which really require that many people checking out them to make sure they're okay.
Secondly, CardCaptor Sakura Wiki:To-Do List. The large To-Do List on the front page is nice and all, but it looks slightly messy. I created this to clean up the front page and give us room to put other things in (so it wasn't all cluttered up) - over the course of this week, I'll start moving things over unless somebody else would like to do so. Of course we'll have maybe a smaller box.
Thirdly, Cardcaptor Sakura Wiki:Spoiler Policy. I created this over a year ago, in the hopes that, as a community, we'd come to a decision. So far, I have yet to see any votes (although I really should have voted myself, but considering I was the one who created the spoiler policy...it'd be like somebody giving me the decision to put myself onto a college course or not by simply saying yes or no...or something). I'm not forcing anyone to vote, but if I could at least have some feedback on what people thought about the idea, that'd be nice. Again, I'll give it a few days, but if nobody votes, I'm going to stop it being a tentative thing, and make it an actual policy or something that I'd like people to follow from now on.
I'm not nagging at anyone here. I've not done much around this place as is (so, really, I need beating with a metal pole to be fair), but I think it's a shame that it finally started looking like we were getting somewhere back at the beginning of April, then it all feel to pot. I'd not mind so much if people commented on what I did and said that they thought it was a stupid idea, but no one overly has said anything, so I'm currently just wondering whether people are reading what I'm writing and just ignoring it and hoping I'll shut up and go away or something? Again, I'm not getting at anyway, because I'm not one to talk about activity. And, as such, apology to HopeHime4 - I haven't forgotten about your Featured Article box - I will do something with it when I clean up the main page this week.
Apologies if I have upset or angered anybody with this. And sorry for the bad spelling - it's like just gone midnight and I'm pretty nackered from a rather punishing workload for my next audition. Jack 23:10, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
- That's okay. Actually, I think we need more viewers. I did discover a TRC wiki a while back and wondered if we could do some sort of merger with them. It might bring more users in, and we could then have more done o the wiki. Ggctuk 08:02, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
- I apologize for my recent inactivity as well. But, you know, I had exams and finals, so there really wasn't much time for wiki editing. Anyway, that's all over now and it's summer break, so I'll have a lot more free time now. I remember seeing a TRC wiki earlier and I think I edited some of their articles, so a merger might be a good idea, although I kinda remember that a lot of the articles were really similar to what we have. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not though. Also, I've been trying to advertise the site a little by posting around CCS/TRC/xxxHolic forums and adding a link to the site in my signature. That way I'm not being obnoxious and spamming the forums with advertisement, but the link to the site still shows up every time I post. It's actually really effective (it worked really well for my novel translation group) so if you guys participate in any forums you might want to try adding a link to your signature too. --HopeHime4 21:31, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
- I've gone and started doing that on anime sites I visit (can't do it on all). Yeah, I think a merger would be a good idea. Even if they have much the same material, some of what we have is bound to be different. Not just that, as I said, it might bring more visitors to the wiki. Ggctuk 21:41, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
- I would recommend a merger, although they seem to have copied straight from our articles (had a look at a couple, they're identical to ours save for the images). Hence, it's regardless that this is the same material. Should I suggest a merger? Ggctuk 21:46, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
I've been off the wiki for a while because I've had things to do, and another project, but I'm just saying that now I'm back, and I intend on resuming work over the next couple of weeks. Ggctuk 18:58, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Video Removal
There have been several video removals from YouTube, which now means the videos we have in the Songs section of the site will no longer work. Some videos still function but have had embedding disabled as per request (it happens when a video 'Matches Third-Party Content'). We need to find some new videos to replace them.
