Thank you for the kind words!! BTW, glad to see that you'll be doing some work for the wiki once again. If you have any questions about how things work (Though it's pretty similar to how it works at Wikipedia), let me know. Looking forward to see what you'll do here!!

== Pictures in Galleries ==
  
== RE: Template standardization ==
+
I understand what you mean, but if you don't mind I have an idea. In the episode pages that have galleries to display pictures from the episodes, how about I create a gallery page for the romantic couples for Shinichi and Ran and Heiji and Kazuha. However don't worry, I won't do anything until I hear what you think first. --[[User:Sbrady538|Sbrady538]] ([[User talk:Sbrady538|talk]]) 23:00, 24 April 2016 (CEST)
  
First of all, thanks for the initiative! :) Regarding the template, I'd convert it into a "DCW"-flavored layout (so that we're not too much like wikipedia in the way we present things - plus we like to focus on presentation, readability and attractiveness/user-friendliness in our own unique way). For example, songs have the pink color here in this wiki. It's alright, I'll have a quick look if you don't mind and see how nice I can make it look like. As for the documentation, we don't really use the Doc template here since we're certainly not as big as wikipedia (which does need to centralize a lot of their processes). We can simply include a "usage" section in the template itself in between &lt;noinclude&gt; tags, a bit like how it was done here: [[Template:InfoBox_Music]]. I hope that answers your questions! Btw, don't forget to edit [[Anokata]] to redirect the link to the song to its local page here. Keep up the great work! :) --[[User:Maurice|Maurice]] 20:22, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

:I don't have access to the movies/episodes right now, so I can't double check, but this is how I would decide. A character can only reoccur if they are the same character as the person from a prior appearance. A character is more than their appearance, they are also a personality who does certain things. Some characters like [[Azusa]] went through several character designs because the animators were forgetful, but she was always the same person: the main waitress at the Poirot who voiced by the same woman. On the other hand, certain background people may look the same because the animators recycled old designs rather than bothering to create new ones, but the characters are not meant to be the same people. These lookalikes are pure filler. A character is really only the same one if they have the same position and behave substantially similar to their previous appearances. It's a bit of a judgment call. I can tell you what I think for these two cases when I have access to somewhere I can watch the movies/episodes. I can tell you right now without seeing anything that I am very skeptical of Toshio Moroboshi, a character developed specifically for movie 6, showing up 2 movies earlier. That would be a violation of [[Wikipedia:causality|causality]]. It would be okay to mention in trivia that someone who looks like Toshio appeared two movies earlier in trivia, but I would not list it in his appearances page or recurring character page. The first is airing an interesting speculation, the second is declaring a fact.

It seems picture thumbnails on other pages are still messing up. Also it seems one of the [[User:Jimmy-kud0-tv2/Non-Canon_BO_images#Movie_20_Spys|guidebooks released this year had bad information]], which resulted in me uploading M20's Aquavit and Riesling's photos in the wrong file names. I tried to fix it by simply moving both of those existing images to temporary names and then uploading new pictures to the original file names, but that didn't seem to work and they are still showing the original pictures. I have uploaded the same correct image twice to each file name. The 116 size image is the correct male Aquavit image, and the 123 size image is the correct female Riesling image. If you do manage to fix it, then the image file names will need to be switched back to their original positions on a bunch of pages (like M20) that that one anon edited after he/she noticed that they were incorrect (example:Riesling character box has Aquavit file name so right name with picture). In addition I have also uploaded cleaner (less light reflection) versions of the volume 90 keyhole and detective that also haven't updated to the newest version on the pages they display on. --[[User:Jimmy-kud0-tv2|Jimmy-kud0-tv2]] ([[User talk:Jimmy-kud0-tv2|talk]]) 16:50, 22 August 2016 (CEST)

The way I see it is that the way Okiya reacted to Scar no getting shot leads me to believe they are not enemies but rivals. A enemy would be glad at the others misfortune. Okiya remark smiling "wolfs missing their prey". To me it seems like he was glad scar was not killed. if Scar had been Okiya's Enemy, I would have expected a remark like "Rats! he is still alive" Also suggesting Okiya is a rival to Scar is Okiya reaction to Conan about how Conan prevent Scar getting killed again with that smile. He seem glad

:This is something Maurice will have to do. I've tried the Wikipedia technique of forcing an update by appending ?action=purge to the end of a image, and while it works at first, it doesn't seem to stick. I think there is a maintenance cycle where Wiki purges its cache and then recreates the thumbnails. This isn't something in my league as far as I know.

Conan interfered, and did not say something to Conan like "why do you do that" -sstimson-
 
:It's nice to see you stop by! <br>
 
:Going by the Endless Youth translation... "It's just a silly story about how some stupid wolves let their prey get away." <br>
 
:My interpretation of that quote was that [[Okiya]] was being ironic. If you go by the theory that [[scar Akai]] is Bourbon, Okiya noticed scar Akai was on the floor with him and that Chianti was set up to kill someone. Okiya realized that the person the BO was after was scar Akai, and that Gin and friends had made a mistake. Okiya knew scar Akai managed to safely get away without being shot because there was no panic about someone being shot outside the store. His comment was a sarcastic remark that the "stupid wolves" (BO) who were trying to kill their own agent by mistake not only let the guy they were trying to kill (scar Akai) get away, but they also completely overlooked the real Akai (Okiya). Okiya called it a silly story because the mixup made the BO look foolish.
 
:Okiya already figured out why Conan acted to keep scar Akai from being shot; Conan wanted to keep everyone safe without knowing the full situation. Also Conan is the type that wouldn't want to let anyone die, even a murderer or a member of the BO, and I think Okiya can appreciate that viewpoint.  
 
:Even if you go by the theory that Scar Akai is Bourbon and Okiya is Akai, it could be that Akai views Bourbon more as a "rival enemy" rather than a "mortal enemy" like Gin. We know that Bourbon hates Akai, but Akai might not view Bourbon with the same amount of hate. [[User:Chekhov MacGuffin|Chekhov MacGuffin]] 19:14, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
 
  
::I think by the time Conan "called" customers back in. He did not know Okiya was there. He assume Scar Akai is real Akai so he try to save him. -User 4869

::DCW burecratas should check this out ^. Cached images is an issue for me too. --[[User:Intervencion|Intervencion]] ([[User talk:Intervencion|talk]]) 10:09, 12 February 2019 (UTC)
:::I don't think Conan was sure who scar Akai was at the time. His "Could it..." "Could it be..." may be followed up by "Bourbon?" or "Vermouth?" because I'm sure, following the bank heist, Conan thinks it doesn't make sense that Akai was out of disguise in public and would happen to appear at a place where the FBI were. (Remember Conan knows Okiya is Akai) After the bank heist, Conan is probably leaning towards the real Akai not being a fool and that someone was impersonating him for some reason, probably a member of the Org. Conan's only info comes from the DB, so he might think scar Akai could be Vermouth who might act to save hm from the bank robber.
 
:::Back at the dept store, when Jodie grabbed him, Conan had a really nervous expression, but it changed when Jodie mentioned the coaster with the warning Akai's writing on it. I think Conan becomes confused because leaving a warning like that is something the real Akai might do, so he decides to protect whoever this scar Akai is now and figure it out later. Luckily Okiya steps in and clarifies things for Conan with his "I know that person from a long time ago" quote. Chekhov MacGuffin 17:17, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
 
  
== Can you Check something for me? ==
+
== Thumbnail errors ==
  
I made a new article :
+
It seems that the thumbnail errors only occur if the image uploaded has to be resized on the wiki's end. If an image is uploaded already at the size that one wants to display (pixel wise) then the image will still display correctly on the page it is linked to. For example, the person who tried uploading multiple versions of the Case photo for [[The Death God Jinnai Murder Case]] was not able to get it to display correctly because the Info Crimebox resizes the photo to a standard size of 290px. However I just reuploaded the image at 290px and it displays correctly on the page! I guess that will be the only way around the thumbnail issues until the problem is fixed. --[[User:Jimmy-kud0-tv2|Jimmy-kud0-tv2]] ([[User talk:Jimmy-kud0-tv2|talk]]) 01:58, 15 September 2016 (CEST)

+
:My understanding is that when a page calls for a resized image the wiki software does something like...
 +
:Originally-sized uploaded image --> function that resizes image --> save resize in the cache --> display resize from the cache when a wiki page calls for the image at that size
 +
:It only has to run this once and then can call the image from the cache after that, unless a new size is called for. The problem seems to be in step 2 or 3. I'm not sure which. I would not be surprised if it had something to do with the related problem we had where the image and the cached copies were not being updated when a new image was uploaded. You should PM Maurice with these findings. Good idea on the workaround for now.

== Soft redirects ==
[[Image:Scar Akai gun manga vs anime.JPG|thumb|right|150px|In the the anime version of the Teito bank heist case, scar Akai's scar and the skin where the duct tape which had covered his eyes are visible. In the manga, it is much more ambiguous; the gun and the shadow of the hat scar Akai is wearing hide the scar and the part of his face where the tape had been removed from his eyes. If Scar Akai is someone wearing a mask this could result in an anime error. ]]
 
  
What is your opinion of "Next Conan's hint" from Episode 503 (which is bullet) since in next episode (504) only time bullets were use is when Kir shot Akai. Can it be interpret as "The bullet is fake"
+
Given that the Anime still hasn't even touched on the Haneda Kouji case yet, nor have they even gotten to the Envelope case, I'm wondering if things like the identity of the Middle Bro, Father Akai, and Shukichi's mention of Kouji need to have spoiler soft redirects similar to the one seen on the page: "[[Bourbon]]". An then reverting some of the Akai family pages so that they link to those soft redirects rather than directly linking to those pages, so that the Anime only people don't get way too much information for just clicking on a single link. --[[User:Jimmy-kud0-tv2|Jimmy-kud0-tv2]] ([[User talk:Jimmy-kud0-tv2|talk]]) 22:37, 24 September 2016 (CEST)
You appear to avoid to mention non-conan scene when Okiya appear in the same time as Kaitou Kid to prove Okiya is not Kid. I wonder if you discard the Hint thing for the same reason.

:Yeah, I tend to avoid using things from the anime as evidence since it is unreliable for hints. They make mistakes like turning Fusae Campbell and Billy into generic looking shadow people when they followed the detective boys, and even recently messing up scar Akai's shooting scene. (See picture at right) The bullet could be a hint that Akai was going to "die", or that a "silver bullet" was involved, or maybe Gosho tipped off the animators and it really was a hint the bullets were blanks.

You asked someone in the DCTP chat box for the source of the Agasa and Miyano family meet time line thing, I've scanned all 4 pages now. Just a note, since the comment from Agasa about meeting them is actually pointing to the spot between 25 and 27 years ago, then shouldn't it be ~26 years ago that they met ?

Okay, I get the point. However, personally I would recommend establishing '''Plot Overviews''' on their own entry pages, as I think that for sone characters these would get too extensive, even in abbreviated form, for the main description to hold comfortably. A link (for instance "See: Conan Edogawa key situations" or something) leading to those entries would be suggested.<br>In addition, I think it would also be better if the '''Character Background''' included a brief summary of how the character was introduced to ''Detective Conan''. I noticed that you re-added the sections describing how '''Heiji Hattori''' had first met and eventually found out about Shinichi/Conan's secret to the '''Plot Overview''' section. From the narrative style angle, I personally say: not recommendable. The character's introduction should blend into the respective '''Background''' as smoothly as possible, and then the '''Plot Overview''' can flesh out the details of he first meetings and then pick up from there. At least, that's how I would have done it.<br>And by the way, one last message: The section you re-added to [[Sango Yokomizo]]'s '''Personality''' section about him having never learned to swim is already included in the '''Background''' section and is therefore a bit superfluous.[[User:Daniel46|Daniel46]] 17:21, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

{{clear}}
:Precisely what I'm talking about! For instance, Heiji's and Kazuha's backgrounds should in any case include how they first met Conan and company and how friendly relationships were established, something I have relocated to the Background sections in some cases. Finer and more details should be contained in the Plot Overviews, like, for [[Ai Haibara]], her encounters with the [[Black Organization]], how her love interest - if she really gets one - evolves in the series etc., while the gist of it should be mentioned in the Background section, if it significantly shapes her character evolvement. I think the summarization work I've done so far should serve as an adequate example for this style.[[User:Daniel46|Daniel46]] 18:29, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

::Perhaps it's a misunderstanding or a poor choice of expression from my part, but I think just the same. I've just included a summarization of how Conan managed to dissuade Vermouth from pursuing Ai anymore in Shiho's/Ai's Background section. Exactly HOW this was achieved can be dealt with in detail in the Plot Overview, if one would want to cover this. Likewise, I think the appearance of Subaru (suspected Bourbon) is likewise worth a subsection which I have called "The boling point" in the Background part, since I think this encounter is highly significant. Exactly how significant it acutally turns out must be found as the series continues. I hope it won't be too long before Aoyama finally comes to a resolution, though; after all, DC has been running on for 6 years already![[User:Daniel46|Daniel46]] 18:43, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi, I want to point out that two years ago you blocked an Italian IP, but the block had the unfortunate effect of also preventing me from editing this wiki, even though my IP is completely different to that of the person you wanted to block. I tried writing from other computers, from two different Italian regions, but all of them were blocked. The ban was meant to last one year, but aftet that you prolonged it for one more year, .until it finally expired yesterday. If you ever need to block an Italian IP again, I hope that you can find a way of doing it without other unregistered users being involuntarily affected by the ban. --[[Special:Contributions/185.93.230.10|185.93.230.10]] 14:54, 9 March 2018 (CET)--

I have a problem with the Voice Cast of some episodes (in occurence episode 536, 627-628, 652-655 and 602). I posted it also on Skyechan's talkpage but she (or he?) didn't answer me.

== Dark Blizzard soliloquy images all wrong ==
 +
 
 +
Can you delete all the soliloquy images starting from 2019-02-18? I have no idea where Dark Blizzard is taking them from but they’re not the original pictures, maybe they’re compressed or something I don’t know nor do I care. I have saved all of the original pictures but the wiki is stupid and is telling me “this is a duplicate” when I try to replace Dark’s ones (I may be doing something wrong idk). They’re not duplicates, Dark’s are missing a lot of metadata, have different colors, and different file sizes. So can you just go ahead and delete all these so I can upload the originals? A few of his dates are wrong too but that’s besides the point.

: Sorry. Well the page looked abandoned. Deleted them for you. The older ones were taken from external source. The last 2 were taken from official Conatsu website and yeah they aren't compressed. Do tell me if any change is required. Since you uploaded new version of the first one, it was kept that way. Thank You.

:: You’re right your last 2 uploads are good. I tried replacing the other ones and most seem to be fixed, but I don’t think you deleted your 03-01, 03-08, and 03-15 versions? Those are still wrong despite my attempt to replace them. 04-27 too actually.

:: As far as the rest of the page goes I stopped reading Conan a few years ago and my upkeeping of the page has been dwindling ever since. I still follow the Conatsu site to always save the images because I know those disappear rather quickly and I don’t want them to be lost. I delay updating the wiki though just because I’m lazy I guess.--[[User:ALAKTORN|ALAKTORN]] ([[User talk:ALAKTORN|talk]]) 02:11, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

::: If you mean that it still shows the old version, it's fine. It is a common problem with the wiki's caching system. It will show the right image after a few days. And, I will be updating that page if it goes outdated for weeks. In that case, just tell me if anything is wrong.

Re:Do we know the boundaries of the next season yet?

Not yet, to my knowledge. --Skyechan (talk) 16:52, 16 April 2016 (CEST)

We do know, I think. I mean post was made when Season 26 didn't end yet so I'm assuming they meant S26's. --Intervencion (talk) 10:09, 12 February 2019 (UTC)

Pictures in Galleries

I understand what you mean, but if you don't mind I have an idea. In the episode pages that have galleries to display pictures from the episodes, how about I create a gallery page for the romantic couples for Shinichi and Ran and Heiji and Kazuha. However don't worry, I won't do anything until I hear what you think first. --Sbrady538 (talk) 23:00, 24 April 2016 (CEST)

Captured in Her Eyes

I've talk about Superintendent General Hakuba and Toshio Moroboshi background appearance in "Trivia". What do you think? --79.16.7.86 17:05, 5 May 2016 (CEST)

I don't have access to the movies/episodes right now, so I can't double check, but this is how I would decide. A character can only reoccur if they are the same character as the person from a prior appearance. A character is more than their appearance, they are also a personality who does certain things. Some characters like Azusa went through several character designs because the animators were forgetful, but she was always the same person: the main waitress at the Poirot who voiced by the same woman. On the other hand, certain background people may look the same because the animators recycled old designs rather than bothering to create new ones, but the characters are not meant to be the same people. These lookalikes are pure filler. A character is really only the same one if they have the same position and behave substantially similar to their previous appearances. It's a bit of a judgment call. I can tell you what I think for these two cases when I have access to somewhere I can watch the movies/episodes. I can tell you right now without seeing anything that I am very skeptical of Toshio Moroboshi, a character developed specifically for movie 6, showing up 2 movies earlier. That would be a violation of causality. It would be okay to mention in trivia that someone who looks like Toshio appeared two movies earlier in trivia, but I would not list it in his appearances page or recurring character page. The first is airing an interesting speculation, the second is declaring a fact. Chekhov MacGuffin talk 20:43, 5 May 2016 (CEST)

Picture previews are messing up again

It seems picture thumbnails on other pages are still messing up. Also it seems one of the guidebooks released this year had bad information, which resulted in me uploading M20's Aquavit and Riesling's photos in the wrong file names. I tried to fix it by simply moving both of those existing images to temporary names and then uploading new pictures to the original file names, but that didn't seem to work and they are still showing the original pictures. I have uploaded the same correct image twice to each file name. The 116 size image is the correct male Aquavit image, and the 123 size image is the correct female Riesling image. If you do manage to fix it, then the image file names will need to be switched back to their original positions on a bunch of pages (like M20) that that one anon edited after he/she noticed that they were incorrect (example:Riesling character box has Aquavit file name so right name with picture). In addition I have also uploaded cleaner (less light reflection) versions of the volume 90 keyhole and detective that also haven't updated to the newest version on the pages they display on. --Jimmy-kud0-tv2 (talk) 16:50, 22 August 2016 (CEST)

File name for female Riesling
File name for male Aquavit
This is something Maurice will have to do. I've tried the Wikipedia technique of forcing an update by appending ?action=purge to the end of a image, and while it works at first, it doesn't seem to stick. I think there is a maintenance cycle where Wiki purges its cache and then recreates the thumbnails. This isn't something in my league as far as I know. Chekhov MacGuffin talk 21:54, 22 August 2016 (CEST)
DCW burecratas should check this out ^. Cached images is an issue for me too. --Intervencion (talk) 10:09, 12 February 2019 (UTC)

Thumbnail errors

It seems that the thumbnail errors only occur if the image uploaded has to be resized on the wiki's end. If an image is uploaded already at the size that one wants to display (pixel wise) then the image will still display correctly on the page it is linked to. For example, the person who tried uploading multiple versions of the Case photo for The Death God Jinnai Murder Case was not able to get it to display correctly because the Info Crimebox resizes the photo to a standard size of 290px. However I just reuploaded the image at 290px and it displays correctly on the page! I guess that will be the only way around the thumbnail issues until the problem is fixed. --Jimmy-kud0-tv2 (talk) 01:58, 15 September 2016 (CEST)

My understanding is that when a page calls for a resized image the wiki software does something like...
Originally-sized uploaded image --> function that resizes image --> save resize in the cache --> display resize from the cache when a wiki page calls for the image at that size
It only has to run this once and then can call the image from the cache after that, unless a new size is called for. The problem seems to be in step 2 or 3. I'm not sure which. I would not be surprised if it had something to do with the related problem we had where the image and the cached copies were not being updated when a new image was uploaded. You should PM Maurice with these findings. Good idea on the workaround for now. Chekhov MacGuffin talk 18:50, 15 September 2016 (CEST)

Can you fix the Thumbnail errors

The Thumbnail errors still ongoing and not yet fixed. Can you fix the Thumbnail errors. --Mohammedalkhater (talk) 02:33, 15 September 2016 (CEST)

I can't fix it. The thumbnails not showing up are caused by a malfunction of the wiki software that builds and maintains the pages. That is something the owner of the software, Maurice, must fix. I don't have the database source code, I'm just a mod. Chekhov MacGuffin talk 18:32, 15 September 2016 (CEST)

Soft redirects

Given that the Anime still hasn't even touched on the Haneda Kouji case yet, nor have they even gotten to the Envelope case, I'm wondering if things like the identity of the Middle Bro, Father Akai, and Shukichi's mention of Kouji need to have spoiler soft redirects similar to the one seen on the page: "Bourbon". An then reverting some of the Akai family pages so that they link to those soft redirects rather than directly linking to those pages, so that the Anime only people don't get way too much information for just clicking on a single link. --Jimmy-kud0-tv2 (talk) 22:37, 24 September 2016 (CEST)

I have not seen people complain too much, but your idea sounds proactive and kind. I support it. Chekhov MacGuffin talk 05:36, 25 September 2016 (CEST)

The Black Chronicle

You asked someone in the DCTP chat box for the source of the Agasa and Miyano family meet time line thing, I've scanned all 4 pages now. Just a note, since the comment from Agasa about meeting them is actually pointing to the spot between 25 and 27 years ago, then shouldn't it be ~26 years ago that they met ? I kept seeing people say "27 years" in the chat box. --Jimmy-kud0-tv2 (talk) 02:03, 6 January 2017 (CET)

I noticed that !27 discrepancy too, so I was making an attempt to translate to confirm the events, which I am very slow at. I'll continue doing what I can.

Chikara name

I noticed that you said that the source of his name has bothered you. It seems his name appears in episode 785 (air date July 18, 2015) even though it did not appear in the manga version of the same scene (opening the sealed move envelope). if we want to take that as confirmation that it is indeed his name going forward.--Jimmy-kud0-tv2 (talk) 02:53, 27 April 2017 (CEST)

Hideous Anime Aggregate Site Watermarks?

Hey Chekhov, it's been a while. Glad to see the place is still up and running! Quick question for you. I noticed a strange category while reading the Masumi Sera page. [[Category:This page has images with hideous anime aggregate site watermarks]]. There are a few pages that have this category. Do you know anything about it? --Jigsaw (talk) 05:26, 14 August 2017 (CEST)

No Chekhov, but DCW images should be watermarkless. TV watermarks are accepted but let's say a watermark with the name of the anime site on it moving around that's something DCW don't want. I'll check out that category someday and see if there's anything to do. --Intervencion (talk) 10:09, 12 February 2019 (UTC)

Delete image

So I made the mistake of relying on Google translations for a minor character I saw listed in the credits of an episode. As it turns out, the translation was flawed and the character in question has no name. Would you mind deleting this file for me when you get a chance? Thanks! --Jigsaw (talk) 05:01, 28 August 2017 (CEST)

Problem with blocking an Italian IP

Hi, I want to point out that two years ago you blocked an Italian IP, but the block had the unfortunate effect of also preventing me from editing this wiki, even though my IP is completely different to that of the person you wanted to block. I tried writing from other computers, from two different Italian regions, but all of them were blocked. The ban was meant to last one year, but aftet that you prolonged it for one more year, .until it finally expired yesterday. If you ever need to block an Italian IP again, I hope that you can find a way of doing it without other unregistered users being involuntarily affected by the ban. --185.93.230.10 14:54, 9 March 2018 (CET)--

Episodes 536, 627-628, 652-655 & 602

Hi Chekhov! I have a problem with the Voice Cast of some episodes (in occurence episode 536, 627-628, 652-655 and 602). I posted it also on Skyechan's talkpage but she (or he?) didn't answer me. It (because I don't know Skyechan's identity) said it helped me fix it on episode 651 but it didn't work on these three. Thanks for helping (if you can). Nakamura.

Normal Characters

I'm thinking of creating pages for each normal characters and other minor law enforcement characters. I know I'll first need approval. I saw they put pages for normal characters in Conanwiki.org. Do you think it's appropriate?

Go ahead :P Wiki's moto is "be bold" as in don't feel shy to create something. Recurrent characters is better to have pages, but it doesn't hurt to have really minor characters to have its page. --Intervencion (talk) 10:09, 12 February 2019 (UTC)
