User talk:Herald of meridian

Welcome!
Congratulations on starting Steins;gate Wiki! It's a brand new project, so it needs a lot of love. Here are five tips to make your wiki great.


 * It's all yours right now -- enjoy it! Once your wiki takes off, lots of people will read what you write. Right now, nobody's looking over your shoulder yet, so feel free to try things out and make mistakes.


 * Make lots of short pages! The hardest thing about writing is looking at a blank page and not knowing where to start. It's a lot easier once you write down your first couple sentences. So take a deep breath, and jump in -- make ten really short pages, one right after another. Once you've started, you can build the pages up slowly, adding a little bit at a time.


 * Link your pages together! Links help you and your readers get from one page to another, so whenever you mention the subject of another page, use the "Add a Link" button to make a link to that page. You should also use the front page to link to all of the most important pages on your wiki. Describe what your wiki is about on the main page, and include links to help your readers find their way around.


 * Add pictures! A well-chosen picture can make a bland wiki page come to life. When you're writing a page, use the "Add a Picture" button to upload a picture from your computer onto the page.


 * When you're ready -- tell your friends! Once you've started a bunch of pages, linked them together and added some pictures, you'll be ready to start showing off your wiki to the world. You probably know people who are interested in the same thing that you are, so tell your friends to check out your new site. Those are your first readers and potential contributors, so give them lots of encouragement.

A good way to stay up-to-date with the latest news and events around Wikia is to visit our Staff blog. If at any time you get stuck, feel free to write to us through our contact form -- we're happy to help!

Have fun!

Wiki Header
Buon giorno, Herald. I see you're quite the Huke fan, running both a Steins;Gate and a BRS wiki simultaneously. But first things first, I need to know how did you get a header image for the wiki. Thanks in advance,  Proto  Stealth   01:20, June 12, 2011 (UTC)

I wonder if it'd be alright to ask if you can transfer ownership of this wiki to me. I have a wealth of information about Steins;Gate, I can read Japanese so I know a hell of a lot and I've been adding several articles over the last few days. I'd like to make this into a go-to database for Steins;Gate information, too.

Hey Herald!

Just so you know, I uploaded two picture files accidentally.

One is "" and the other is

The first one is a small version of the picture that's being used for episode 6.

The other one was gonna be the picture for epsiode 1, but then I decided not to use it.

I assume that you have the power to delete them if you so please, so... yeah. You can delete them if you want to.

Hey Herald!
Quick question. When you go to Media (at the top of the wiki), and then Visual Novel, do you know how to make it so that when you click on Visual Novel, it goes to the "Steins;Gate Visual Novel" page?

A thank you note
Thanks for the welcome and for making this wiki, Herald of meridian. ^_^ It's really helped me a lot with some parts I was unclear about after watching the anime.

Zeldakasumi (talk) 22:48, April 7, 2013 (UTC)

Hey Herald!
I made a blog post that responded to Zeldakasumi's blog post.

After creating it, I realized that I should have just responded by commenting at the bottom of the page.

You can delete the blog post I created.

Request for image deletion
Hey Herald of meridian,

I just updated the image map for the Committee of 300 page, but it took me a few tries to get the color to render correctly when the image is run through the wikia image previewer. I've finally gotten it right with the latest version, so could you please delete the old versions when you get a chance? Thank you!

Edit: Request concerning menubar

Hey Herald,

Would it be possible to change the "Content" tab of the menubar if you agree? Right now "Content" links to reviews of the series and doesn't have any sub links appear upon hovering. I would really like it if "Content" didn't redirect but linked to the content category page and had as sublinks the List of Steins;Gate Reviews article and the community blog page in the menubar.

If you agree to such changes but don't have the time, I wouldn't mind implementing them myself and cleaning up my previous image deletion request, if you would be willing to give my account the necessary admin rights.

P.S. Do you mind if we call you Herald, or do you prefer to be called strictly Herald of Meridian?

RE: Image maps and navigation
Hello Herald,

Thank you for cleaning up those image files for me, and the new organization in the menu bar is great! It's much more convenient now. ^_^

As for my fandom, I think this is the closest I have ever gotten to otakuism. I started contributing on a whim, but it's a fun project; and the series is just so interesting. Feel free to give me however much or as little power as you think best. Any major changes, like to the menubar, I would want to discuss with you beforehand anyway. If you give me more power than a regular contributor, I will probably use it for cleaning up messes when I accidentally make them or come across them while contributing information of my own. However, since you seem open to taking care of occasional requests, I don't mind if you'd rather I stayed a general contributor.

I think your idea for a List of Known World Lines article is a great idea! Are you thinking of organizing the events by date as a sort of timeline? There are a couple of timelines floating around the web, but we are certainly missing a consolidated list over here that clearly lays out all the Steins;Gate series events. How are you thinking of organizing it? Using a bullet list, tabs, or perhaps a table? www.ibm5100.net has their timeline for the alpha and beta AFs in a table, which works but can also be a bit confusing. Of course, that's partially the entangled nature of the story's fault.

Are you thinking of noting in which media an event occurs? If it is possible to do so without bloating the page too much, it might be really handy, because none of the timelines I have seen so far, including the one I'm writing for the Committee of 300 article, notes in which visual novel or manga, etc. an event was depicted.

Of course, feel free to pull info from the Known activity by the Committee of 300 list if it can help you, though there might be occasional errors. I am going to start filling in more events from the Steins;Gate series, especially during 2010, soon. I'm also going to try restructuring the list to make use of both bullet lists and section tabs, in order to make it somewhat less bloated despite Okabe's time-leaping creating multiple minor divergences.

If I can help a bit with the List of Known World Lines article let me know. I will be done sometime this month with the original visual novel and was actually planning on trying to make an image graph of what days Okabe spent in which world line, just to make it clear for myself. If it turns out well, I was wondering where I could share it on this wiki. Do you think it would go well in the List of Known World Lines article? Don't worry, I won't be offended if you don't think so.

RE: RE:List of World Lines etc.
Ah, maybe I didn't word myself clearly. I meant, are you going to sort them by date underneath their respective world line number, or are you going to put them dateless but in the order they occur underneath their world line numbers; and not are you going to sort them first and foremost by their dates. And, like you mentioned before only the "important events in each world line" are necessary. I agree it would be too much if one got into the nitty-gritty details.

You example looks great, by the way! You already have plenty to do, but whenever you get around to the list, I'm sure plenty of people will find it helpful.

CSS request
Hello Herald,

When you get the chance could you maybe change the coloring for the Tabber extension? Right now, it is using the default blue and white Wikia colors. Thanks in advance!

Zeldakasumi (talk) 20:54, May 9, 2013 (UTC)

Edit:

Btw, and this is not meant to rush you in the slightest, just thought I'd include the link to the CSS markup for Tabber to make it easier whenever you get to this. Link Thanks again. :)

Page deletion request
Hello Herald,

I was making up some redirect pages for the characters names, mostly so that "familyname personalname" order of name writing would link to the character's page. However, I also redirected FB and just realized that might be a blatant spoiler to people using the search engine. Would you please delete the FB redirect page? Thank you! Zeldakasumi (talk) 00:25, May 11, 2013 (UTC)

Edit with New Request:
Hello Herald,

Due to a weird bug I decide to unimplement the Tab View extension on the Committee of 300 page. Could you please delete the now unused subpages Committee_of_300/Projects, Committee_of_300/Activity, Committee_of_300/Methods, and Committee_of_300/Accomplices when you get the chance? Thank you!

Wiki activity
Hi Herald,

I don't know if you can receive this message or not, but I'm still going to tell you that your wiki is has been a great one so far. I loved this series and I happened to know quite a handful bunch of info I'd like to add to the pages (and I did), but what struck my nerve was the fact that anonymous users kept replacing content with vandalism and/or their biased info, which in any sense would defeat the original purpose of this wiki.

So, I'm not implying anything, but could you please somehow lock the pages so that only registered users can edit them? Much appreciated.

Bureaucracy and wiki disorder
Hi Herald,

There is this user whom you've granted bureaucracy, Reading Steiner. They have been working with an anonymous user in swapping some of Steins;Gate original content with their so-called "official translations". I don't know about you, but a translation is only a rewording of the original content, thus is not an acceptable replacement of the material it was translated from, but Steiner have accepted this and agreed to let that anonymous account replace a few important things, hence the "Congroo vs Kongroo" dispute.

I suggest you voice your opinion, you are the wiki founder so you should have the final say on how things should be. Also, I am a quite frequent editor up here, might I ask for more *ahem* priveleges on things? There isn't much I can do aside from editing, I could not accept vandalism and would like to be the one to put a stop to that. I'm not implying anything, just asking.

Katz 03:26, December 22, 2013 (UTC)

Re:Steiner
Hi Herald,

Alright, since you've said that I will not bother Steiner for the time being, but let me tell you one thing, I am living in Japan, I have a few connections with Nitroplus and 5pb. so if there's any biased/unconfirmed "translations" other than the disputed page that, if I happened to discover, I WILL voice my concerns. As far as I know, Nitroplus and 5pb. never authorized the Kongroo version of the quote, I even asked the S;G writer chief and he said he has never heard of changing it like so.

For the mean time, I would like you to put a lock on the Ruka Urushibara page, since this page is becoming a hub for biased misinformations by anonymous editors. Please, just lock it so that only registered users can make changes. Much appreciated

Katz 03:53, December 22, 2013 (UTC)

Congroo
Hi Herald,

Alright, so the K word can stay I suppose, for now. A representative from 5pb. told me that JAST USA, the English translators of the game "asked for permission" before changing, but only on Northern American copies, the native Japanese re-releases and movies still recognizes Congroo as the official term, so I will stop the debacle here since it is semi-legit to use that word.

And thanks for the Ruka page attention, much appreciated.

Katz 07:00, December 22, 2013 (UTC)

Heya. I see there's a link to both a Chaos;Head wikia and a Robotics;Notes wikia. I've recently made another ChaoS;HEAd wikia, so I'm asking that you please refer to my wikia. I've a lot more information, pages, pictures, etc than the other one, and I'm actually playing the ChaoS;HEAd game, so I know my info. I'll do the same for you, of course, when I figure out how lol.

Thanks.

Some changes
Hello Herald,

It's been awhile. I hope you are doing well. I was gone suddenly and for a long while, but I'm back again to slowly work on adding some new content to this wiki and update the Committee of 300 article. I've made some changes to the titles list on the front page and might make some more as I add new titles. If you disagree feel free to change them back.

Visual Novel

Hello, I like to know where I can download the visual novel of Steins Gate in Spanish or English.

Thanks
Thanks for your greeting. I've been playing Dragon's Dogma for a while and, a little over a month ago, started contributing to the wiki. My avatar is one of the characters in the game who is modeled after Phantasy Star II's Nei.

I played Stein's; Gate when it first came out and consider it to be the best Visual Novel I've played. The game's genre with branching paths is ideally suited to the time paradox plot. The use of the cell phone is far more sophisticated than traditional menus and adds greater complexity to the game. The phone can send text, music, photos, videos, in addition to making regular calls. Choosing whether to answer or not and how to respond adds to the challenge. Moreover, it is an integral part of the plot in contrast to an intrusive menu.

I recently got the Vita version of the game and plan to play it right after I finish Dragon's Dogma. With a couple of English language versions of the game on the PS3 and Vita, I think your wiki will become quite popular. Allgorhythm (talk) 15:21, January 23, 2015 (UTC)Allgorhythm

Mistaken Edit?
Hello Herald,

An anon contributor edited the Future Gadgets page twice. I wanted to undo the edits, because it looks like they made a mistake twice in the text and also by removing the "Terminology" category. However, I can't remember for sure -and I don't remember in which part of the VN this came up, in order to check- whether the name of of the parody of Metal Gear was "Metal Moar" or "Metal Moad".

What do you think? Is it alright to undo the edits?

File deletion request
Hello Herald,

Can I ask you to please delete File:World_line_flow_chart.pdf? M.A.D.company and I had some trouble with uploading the chart to the wiki and eventually found a different solution. Thanks in advance! Zeldakasumi (talk) 09:57, August 11, 2015 (UTC)
