DeletionEdit

I uploaded better images for the List of Final Fantasy XII Enemies so I am asking for the staff to delete the old images.

Find the images you replaced and open the edit form on the file's page. Insert the {{Dup}} template. In the first parameter input the filename of the replacement file that you uploaded for each image. 79.69.206.67 19:28, September 3, 2012 (UTC)

Actually, never mind. Sorry Murilo, you uploaded over the old images, so staff does not need to delete any images. My bad :/ (Cat + meow)(RC + Sbox) = FFW 20:17, September 3, 2012 (UTC)

MechaKaiser has requested that his walkthrough be deleted. (Cat + meow)(RC + Sbox) = FFW 14:50, December 11, 2012 (UTC)

Y Done. ScatheMote 22:04, December 11, 2012 (UTC)

A little while back all videos not in use were purged; since then, Wikia has made a Special:UnusedVideos page, which is full of useless videos. Kill them all? (Cat + meow)(RC + Sbox) = FFW 06:54, February 3, 2013 (UTC)

Mass amount of (insert celebrity name here) as (insert FFVII character name here) images needing deletion, please! Tia-Lewise 16:17, February 28, 2013 (UTC)

Requesting to delete this page SQUAREMUSICS because I'm intended to make User:Squaremusics, but it seems to be wrong. 13:02, April 10th, 2013 / (GMT +7).

Hold on, I'll just move that page to where it's supposed to be. Also, signiatures are done with 4 tildes here (~~~~). -- Some Color Mage ~ (Talk) 07:22, April 10, 2013 (UTC)

There's a ton of useless Uncategorizedimages that need killing. Might want to wait until the article they're on is deleted, though. (Cat + meow)(RC + Sbox) = FFW 04:23, April 25, 2013 (UTC)

RestorationEdit

Not sure why "Final Fantasy: Unlimited After" was deleted. --Shockstorm (talk) 02:32, December 6, 2012 (UTC)

I'm going to guess it was nuked because of this article text, this being one of two edits to the page (the second was putting a deletion template on it):

Final Fantasy: Unlimited After picks up where Final Fantasy VII leaves off. 
It is especially known for its crude humor (and being the first Final Fantasy game to have a paramount focus on comedy) in the vain of American Pie and Old School as well as incorporating pedophilic humor a la Lolita.

The game received negative reviews upon its initial release due to its defamatory remarks towards most of the women in the game as well as some very vulgar scenes of necrophilia (i.e. the protagonist using Anima's skull to perform fellatio).

Unlimited After was also the first Final Fantasy game to receive an M rating for its adult themes and for a hidden sex scene available after the final boss fight.

This game has been banned in the U.S., Nicaragua, Guatemala, Hungary, Cambodia, Ho Chi Minh City, Nigeria, Chad and Cuba.

Just a guess. Jimcloud 02:57, December 6, 2012 (UTC)

Merging/SplittingEdit

Pretty sure Zalera and Zalera (Summon) need to have their histories and talk pages merged. --Shockstorm (talk) 21:31, October 20, 2012 (UTC)

Y Done. Merged the main pages. Talk pages don't need to merged I don't think, but if you really think they should be, I can do it. ScatheMote 03:15, December 6, 2012 (UTC)

Hiroyuki Ito and Hiroyuki Itō need to be merged as somebody decided to do a cut/paste job instead of a move and now the history's split between the two pages. Not sure which page is supposed to be the correct spelling though. -- Some Color Mage ~ (Talk) 14:57, May 11, 2013 (UTC)

Y Fixed. ScatheMote 15:29, May 11, 2013 (UTC)

RenamingEdit

Check Category:Files to be Renamed please. --Shockstorm (talk) 06:25, November 21, 2012 (UTC)

Y(Cat + meow)(RC + Sbox) = FFW 06:28, November 21, 2012 (UTC)

List of Final Fantasy: Airborne Brigade Weapons should be moved to List of Final Fantasy: Airborne Brigade Weapons and links leading to the "List of Final Fantasy: Airborne Brigade Weapons" should be fixed to Airborne Brigade page; the second part of the task is for a bot, I guess.—Kaimi (999,999 CP/5 TP) 18:46, December 1, 2012 (UTC)

ProtectionEdit

Hiroyuki Ito - There is a lot of see-sawing going on here. I don't care who's right, but the edit warring needs to stop. Jeppo (Talk | contribs) 18:14, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

BlocksEdit

24.98.211.155 making the "ShitForBrains" article. Informed Jimcloud but thought I should say here too. Tia-Lewise 20:10, September 22, 2012 (UTC)

Suspecting Vivianeartha007 to be a spambot, but only because of the userpage. I could be wrong. Tia-Lewise 10:26, October 18, 2012 (UTC)

Blocked. ScatheMote 11:20, October 18, 2012 (UTC)

68.52.196.196 - continues to ignore requests to use the preview button and stop removing content. --Shockstorm (talk) 01:18, October 24, 2012 (UTC)

I suspect User:Annewbiz and User:Teenwerewolf to be the same user. Waiting for a response from Teenwerewolf, but sockpuppetry may be afoot. Tia-Lewise 17:07, November 5, 2012 (UTC)

Y I've locked the page for a day. The person doesn't seem to mean harm, but the edit warring is counterproductive. ScatheMote 22:34, November 28, 2012 (UTC)

I figure a block will go through the second an admin shows up, but just to make sure: 74.63.86.220: Repeated page blanking, harassing other users and ban skipping. Should probably also extend the block on vandal's original IP as well. -- Some Color Mage ~ (Talk) 09:06, December 27, 2012 (UTC)

S'alright. Probably for the best I got out of there before I said something I shouldn't have done. Tia-Lewise 15:26, March 19, 2013 (UTC)

MiscellaneousEdit

Final Fantasy DimensionsEdit

Final Fantasy Dimensions should be moved from "Future Releases" to "Recent Releases".Keltainentoukokuu (talk) 15:53, October 11, 2012 (UTC)

Still should be moved.Keltainentoukokuu (talk) 19:35, October 19, 2012 (UTC)

Not sure what you mean, Kelt. Link? — Yuan^Salut_Acta 08:02, October 21, 2012 (UTC)

MediaWiki:Wiki-navigation - the Oasis header thingie uses this. That's what she means. (Cat + meow)(RC + Sbox) = FFW 15:57, October 21, 2012 (UTC)

Look down - I did it before you posted. :p — Yuan^Salut_Acta 01:28, October 23, 2012 (UTC)

._. Whoops (Cat + meow)(RC + Sbox) = FFW 01:33, October 23, 2012 (UTC)

The Oasis look: it has a drop down menu which has links to various games and Dimensions is still in "Future Releases". I don't know what is the link to edit it, however.—Kaimi (999,999 CP/5 TP) 08:09, October 21, 2012 (UTC)

Y Ah, I see. Done. — Yuan^Salut_Acta 08:42, October 21, 2012 (UTC)

Bravely Default: Flying FairyEdit

Seeing that we cover Bravely Default: Flying Fairy, we should include that in the Oasis look's "Recent Releases", no?—Kaimi (999,999 CP/5 TP) 13:29, October 22, 2012 (UTC)

Y — Yuan^Salut_Acta 01:28, October 23, 2012 (UTC)

ChatEdit

Forum:Fora Rules and Wiki Directory has an error right in the second line:

"Always be civil. Flaming is strongly discouraged, and repeated offences will net you tests and possibly a ban."

Tests should be warnings since we no longer use the test system. Also, in the directory:

" #FFWiki (general discussion), #wikia (main Wikia IRC channel), #wikia-vstf (if someone needs blocking and the staff are not around)."

#wikia is all but dead, as Wikia has moved their stuff to ##wikia and w:Special:Chat (which only works in Oasis). (Cat + meow)(RC + Sbox) = FFW 20:55, October 20, 2012 (UTC)

Y — Yuan^Salut_Acta 08:02, October 21, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks Yuan. (Cat + meow)(RC + Sbox) = FFW 15:57, October 21, 2012 (UTC)

Airborne BrigadeEdit

The Oasis nav, the Manual of Style, and the classcodes need to be updated for this rename by Square Enix. (Cat + meow)(RC + Sbox) = FFW 18:58, December 1, 2012 (UTC)

Y Done. I didn't change the classcodes since I didn't think it was necessary, but I will change them if sufficient reasoning to change them is brought up. ScatheMote 21:12, December 1, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks. But I have one small nickname: the game is called Final Fantasy: Airborne Brigade not Final Fantasy Airborne Brigade. (Cat + meow)(RC + Sbox) = FFW 21:33, December 1, 2012 (UTC)

Ummm, it's now Final Fantasy Airborne Brigade without the colon (:): don't know if it was changed already, but might as well inform you.—Kaimi (999,999 CP/5 TP) 11:49, December 15, 2012 (UTC)

Y (Cat + meow)(RC + Sbox) = FFW 17:04, December 15, 2012 (UTC)

All the BravestEdit

Please add Final Fantasy: All the Bravest to the "Recent Releases" in the Oasis look. Thanks in advance.—Kaimi (999,999 CP/5 TP) 21:49, January 16, 2013 (UTC)

Y Added Final Fantasy All the Bravest as the link you provided was a redirect. (Cat + meow)(RC + Sbox) = FFW 22:43, January 16, 2013 (UTC)

*facepalm* Scathe beat me to it and I didn't even notice. (Cat + meow)(RC + Sbox) = FFW 22:44, January 16, 2013 (UTC)

"Most visited articles"Edit

The top navigation bar used to have a "Popular Pages" section under Directory that showed the wiki's most visited pages. Now it has changed to "TopContent" that leads to a non-existent article.Keltainentoukokuu (talk) 12:44, January 23, 2013 (UTC)

Oasis is being screwy for me. Does that fix it? Basically Wikia removed one of their SystemMessages (at "MediaWiki:TopContent") and changed another one... which has hashes in its title which means we can't edit it. JBed (talk) 13:00, January 23, 2013 (UTC)

Well it no longer goes to a non-existent page, but it doesn't have a drop down menu and it's not the same list that was here yesterday. XP Lightning Returns was supposed to be the most visited article and it's not near the top of the list at all. Maybe that's like "most visited of all time" as opposed to the "most visited right now" that it was before.Keltainentoukokuu (talk) 14:40, January 23, 2013 (UTC)

Oh. Okay, I think I know the problem. Basically, as I said they have system messages with hashes in that we can't edit. [link]. These message auto-generate content. Which is why we can't edit them.

But it has stopped working and it is just generating the text give there. I can't see any of this because Oasis isn't working.

So for now this is the best we can do until it starts working. The fault is not on our end (supposing other wikis have the same issue, I can't check). JBed (talk) 14:48, January 23, 2013 (UTC)

No, wait, Oasis is working again. Aaaand it works on other wikis. I'll investigate further. JBed (talk) 14:55, January 23, 2013 (UTC)

I'll give it a couple of days to fix itself, and then I'll report it to central if it's still being dumb. It's just decided not to work on this wiki, while other auto-generated dropdowns do and it does work on other wikis. JBed (talk) 15:27, January 23, 2013 (UTC)

Future ReleasesEdit

Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster could probably be added to the topnap under "Future Releases".Keltainentoukokuu (talk) 13:40, March 26, 2013 (UTC)

Y Done. (Cat + meow)(RC + Sbox) = FFW 13:45, March 26, 2013 (UTC)

Doesn't show up for me...Keltainentoukokuu (talk) 15:55, March 26, 2013 (UTC)
