I guess I'm the only one who likes 3. But 5 would be my second choice anyway.

A guide/listing of the categories we decide to go with will be a good thing. I'll address the rest of that post later.

You have to remember that some of these categories likely would have been started years ago. Which is before any of us.

Even my earlier edits (I only came back here recently) were 2 years ago or so. I'll try to answer a few of these, somehow I never got a notification for it.Some of them might just be examples how I have it on the DM/Kai wiki, and not necessarily answers.

I guess because because you cant really draw anything else, so "card" is implied. I do use "Card Draw" as the category on my wikis though.

I would actually say something that discards a card from your own hand would probably be a "Self Discard".

Sacrifice for me would be split into 2 categories, that first one would be the "Choice Removal" and "Self Removal" for the methods you mentioned.

I've mentioned about this one before, and I think I've even removed a few cards from it. I'm for the removal of each of them.

That is a bad discrepancy, and likely just due to slang.

Could probably fuse it easily if no-one has any objects. If its all cards that say "Prevent X damage", just pick what name you guys like more. Damage Prevention does sound better to me.

I don't have a good answer to this one. Or at least, a suggestion other than your "damage" for cards like shock that can target both. Lava Axe is definitely "Direct Damage".

I was about to say probably not, but the Rarity template would be making the categories for any set automatically for each card that is in a cardpage. So any of the Duel Decks will have one. Unless you were meaning stuff that doesn't have its own unique symbol (like an old theme deck).

Was only referring to the policy part of it, not the code and other documentation.

Saying how the aforementioned

I didn't see it before...but now I can't un-notice the squigglyness of it.

If it was redone, I would possibly suggest a small color-pie dots next to it as well. (next to the word "wiki").

Yeah, normally the way to do a null edit was go through the regular edit, and publish without changing anything.

This changes 2 steps into 1, therefore making it twice as fast.

Yeah. Because of the current Draft test page Fertile Ground/Draft and Novablast Wurm that isn't properly using the cardpage template.

A lot of pages to edit either way, even with AWB.

It was 4k something.

edit: Checked AWB. 4403 pages use Template:Cardpage.

Regarding that tooltip thing, as it seems there is still always at least 1 image going to be on a page, it would still have something to call for the tooltip.

Stopping that "limits" issue is something that is definitely interesting to me (especially over on the DM wiki as well, certain cards end up having a LOT of reprints).

Having file: around each image was definitely annoying, particularly to set a standard size for the image displayed. There is a lot of variance over the cards on the wiki.

Right now I was lately working on cleaning up certain cardpages (missing CMCs, certain card type categories, and also looking at removing the ugly Template:Border).

But my main question is this, the current Draft template would be replacing the current Cardpage, is that correct?

Whether that's a yes or no, many pages would still need some form of conversion to the new style right? (even if that's just edits to the image/rarity section currently.)

A small fix: Take it out of the Cards category.

For cards that are both Red and white, it is always ordered .

mtg-hunter.com/?colours[0]=Red&colours[1]=White&size=24&p=4

edit: I fixed any inconsistent pages.

I can tell you that 3-color cards are inconsistent (based on the main-color of the wedge).

But I'll check for the 2-colored.

There are still going to be issues/inconsistencies with this "/ category" group of colors.

Obviously as agreed upon, you shouldn't have both White/Red and Red/White. But you guys also need to make sure to use the guild-order or the WUBRG order, and not both.

So these are the categories that should exist if it was guild order.

• Category:Red/White
• Category:Blue/Black
• Category:Green/White
• Category:Black/Green
• Category:Blue/Red
• Category:Red/Green
• Category:White/Black
• Category:Green/Blue
• Category:Black/Red
• Category:White/Blue

And other than the whole Hybrid/Multicolored thing I've already mentioned....theres the fact that / kinda makes a weird subpage of things. Something that was White/Red will show up under white, but not red. It can in categories...but the subpage thing is weird. That might only bother me though. shrugs.

So far, I've not uploaded many images on this wiki, just a few mana/guild symbols (unless I've forgotten something). (edit: Okay, and a few set symbol and random cards, here and there. Funnily enough, the credit I gave to the images on that page was to the guild logos which had been edited into .png by MtgSalvation.)

I don't think we need ALL the image licensing if some are just never going to be used.

I'd figure out what ones are necessary instead. Self, Public Domain, and an update to Fair Use is probably what we want.

points to here.

They are sorted by type, and were asked to admins by each wiki. My wikis I run appear on there 2 times, and hearthstone is there too.

I did apparently use c:kaijudo:Template:Fairuse a bit on the Kaijudo wiki, but that was on product/creature-images from their website, not for the cards themselves.

Guess I might have wikiwide attributing to do soon.

Its never really been addressed, funnily enough.

But I've even had support for both Duel Masters and Kaijudo wikis in-person from Wotc members, so if they had issue with the images, they could have brought it up. :)

I will note that even on the Hearthstone wiki which Raylan, the wikia star contributes to the most, doesn't have copyright tags on the last recent set of cards (and likely others too).

I did see the basic "fair use" on the first set though.

This file is copyrighted. It will be used in a way that qualifies as fair use under US copyright law.

Our version of the policy basically mirrors the yugioh form.

Neutral

well, any bot edits aren't on this account (and there was only a few hundred anyway) anymore.

Generally I'm an achievement crazy person in games (cough WoW), but on wikias, I never look at it.

I say keep it, as it does encourage new blood to edit. Its just a matter of making sure they don't edit like the way WOTF mentioned (random spam categories).

I further updated it to include hybrid costs and phyrexian mana.

Check out a card like Progenitus, Fable of Wolf and Owl or Act of Aggression and hover over the cost symbols to see what the template does.
