Images and Name Order
Hello there and welcome to Megami Tensei Wiki! It's great to have you here and I'm glad to see you've been making some helpful edits. I'm leaving a message on your talk page to address you regarding two things:
- Name Order
One of our other users mentioned concern over you changing last name to first name in the page content of Ayato Katsuragi. Megami Tensei Wiki has no specific guidelines on how names are to be rendered within an article's body, and thus this change was not necessary. Our guidelines do specify western name order for article titles, but within the game itself the character is almost exclusively referred to as Katsuragi (in fact, only one character calls him Ayato) and thus it adds more confusion to the reader when the name is changed from last to first within the article body. Generally, while not an explicit guideline, it is best to refer to characters the way they are most commonly referred to in-context (i.e. Six rather than Shingo in the case of Shingo Sako or Koshimizu rather than Hayao for Hayao Koshimizu) in order to reduce reader confusion. When in doubt, I recommend using an article's talk page to ask other users which name would be preferred rather than deciding on your own.
- File Guidelines
I'm glad to see you uploading some files relating to Majin Tensei and I'm always glad to see more official art. That said, I recommend taking a closer look at our filename and file type guidelines. For example, File:MJT1 Manual Heroine Heal.jpg should instead be File:MJT1 Manual Heroine Heal Artwork.jpg and File:MJT1 Heroine Normal Sprite.png is actually a Screenshot, as this is not a sprite rip. Lastly, the file category (i.e. Artwork, Sprite, Map, etc.) should always be last in a filename, so File:MJT1 Hero Sprite Far.png is incorrect (there's a technical reason for this too - we do something on the backend so that sprites display correctly, and it relies on reading the file name to do so). These are small errors that everyone makes at some point, so I wouldn't worry to much about them, but a quick review of the guidelines should iron out a lot of these issues.
All that said, we hope you continue to contribute and enjoy your time with Megami Tensei Wiki! --

Hi Mistiryshak, thank you for this helpful message! 💃 I will be sure to read up on the guidelines for artwork and revert my name order changes. Hope you’re having a good day! Booky (talk) 15:44, 18 April 2025 (UTC)
Quick update: Just checked the Ayato Katsuragi page and it looks like the first names were mostly reverted! 💃 Booky (talk) 16:51, 18 April 2025 (UTC)
Regarding Giten Megami Tensei Edits
Hi I'm Hee-Ho, I'm the one doing most, if not all the edits related to Giten Megami Tensei, I wanted to inform you that I appreciate the edits you're doing, but there's some things you have to keep in mind, when writing the edits be sure to only use the names used in-game to refer to characters, although I assume you know how to deal with this.
I wanted to propose you something, perhaps, if you're interested, you can help me upload sprites of the PC-98 or Windows version to the site, I have them all thanks to a tool Kirinn from SuperSakuraTools made for both versions, so if you want you can help me, they're a lot of sprites and I need some help with the uploads. Let me know if you're interested!

Hi Hee Ho! It is great to see all the hard work you are doing on the Giten pages, and I will keep in mind names! Sprite ripping sounds interesting and it'd be nice to help you out, but unfortunately I know very little right now about that kind of stuff... However, I wish you luck in this!! 💃 --Booky (talk) 06:22, 22 April 2025 (UTC)
I think you misunderstand me, I have all the sprites ripped already and they're transparent, if you want to help me to upload them feel free to join the discord server of the wiki, since they're all there.
Oh, ok! I'll have to think about it since I'm kinda busy right now, but it'd be nice to help out!! Booky (talk) 06:25, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
Niceee, let me know when you can work on it!! I also have to sent you the devil dictionary so you can corroborate which demons share sprites, since a few of them share sprites.
