Congrats!

Congrats on your launch, from all of us at the Independent Fallout Wiki. Let us know if we can help in any way. Kate Aces (talk) 16:36, 30 October 2023 (UTC)

Affiliation request

This might be kind of an outdated concept, but I am a sysop of a wiki called fireemblemwiki.org, and I would like to affiliate our site with this wiki. Essentially, we would link to you on our affiliates page and interwiki link to you for Shin Megami Tensei stuff, and you would interwiki stuff to us for Fire Emblem stuff. Perhaps you could discuss this amongst the staff. Billy Mitchell (talk) 00:45, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

Not an outdated concept at all! As you can see, we have your interwiki set up, and we did plan to use it for TMS coverage. I will get back to you soon. What is your username on FE Wiki? Rman41 (talk) 00:57, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

PikaSamus (I think it is a terrible username, so I picked a different one here). Billy Mitchell (talk) 00:58, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

Noted, thank you. Rman41 (talk) 01:17, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

We have agreed to affiliate. We will have our affiliates page up tomorrow (today where I live?) and Fire Emblem Wiki will be one of its first inclusions. Rman41 (talk) 07:22, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

PDNn Images

Could I inquire as to why many of the images relating to PDNn were removed? Temmytoa (talk) 07:08, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

Sorry, was going to mention it to you but had a lot to clean up. We don't want entire full page scans of novels and manga on the wiki unless they are being actively used. This presents a copyright concern because this constitutes potentially most of what the content of those books actually are; essentially the same reason we don't allow audio files unless they will be used and are under 30 seconds. I kept the ones that were acceptable beyond that, such as the full-color artwork and those that were in-use on pages. Rman41 (talk) 07:11, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

That all makes sense and I do understand, but I would have appreciated being given a bit more time to put some of them into use first Temmytoa (talk) 07:14, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

I understand. It was an urgent concern, but I will try to give more heads up about it in the future. Feel free to reupload them as you need them. Rman41 (talk) 07:16, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

Alright. I will try to be more conservative in the future as well Temmytoa (talk) 07:18, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

@Temmytoa Oh, sorry two more things. The proper abbreviation for Detective Naoto is PDN, even for the novel. It and the manga share the code but link to different pages depending on the media type chosen in Template:Link. See Guidelines:Media Abbreviations. As well, for the same reason of copyright, I ask that you don't link to sites hosting the entirety of said material. Thank you. Rman41 (talk) 07:29, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

Okay, I was uncertain of what to do in that scenario, but I will go forward with this information. That last bit is also a good point, how should they be tagged instead? Temmytoa (talk) 07:43, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

Ideally you should claim yourself as the source by putting your user page. So User:Temmytoa in the source parameter. Rman41 (talk) 07:46, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

Understood 👍 Temmytoa (talk) 07:48, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
