Character listings

Hello there. I noticed with your edits to the Shin Megami Tensei IV: Demonic Gene and Prayers pages that you removed the Characters link with a bullet point list of characters instead. These actually should just be links to the manga's character list page, as defined in the manga page boilerplate and our article writing guidelines. Some pages allow for short character lists, but when we deliberated on the matter, we felt that manga and novels should have separate character listings just as with the games. Regardless of how short they are. The contribution is still really appreciated of course, thank you! I am just letting you know for future reference. Please do not remove the Character links, but add the characters to the separate page. Thank you. — RustyVanBurace (talk) 17:09, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

Okay, thanks for informing me. I will have to do the same on the Persona 5: Mementos Mission page. Effect-kun (talk) 20:19, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

Nomeclature

Hey, I noticed that when you edited the Bethel page to add information to the Nomenclature section you created a subsection called "Origin", but I wanted to let you know that that's unnecessary. You can just put that information above the "Names in Other Languages" template.

I see. The reason I added it that way is as I've noticed that a lot of pages for the characters in Shin Megami Tensei IV and Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse have the nomenclature section stylized that same way, so I just wanted to make it consistent.Effect-kun (talk) 02:34, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

I'm not certain who started that, but I've heard a few people mention that as well. We'll try to look into it. Thanks for understanding though, have a nice day!

omg i might have started that on accident when I copypasted the whole origin section from Magatsu-Izanagi to Nahobino cause of how many shared Kojiki sources there were （；´д｀）ゞ Cabbage (talk) 02:55, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

Mem Aleph's SJR section

Hello. I was browsing edits and saw that you added stuff to Mem Aleph's Strange Journey Redux game appearances section, and I don't think it's totally accurate. Firstly, I think that the use of the word hypocrisy is a bit unnecessary and informal if you get my meaning. I also don't think there's any hypocrisy in the situation to begin with as, going back through the interaction with her on the New Chaos route, coexistence between demons and humanity isn't in contention there. Rather, the argument that causes her to attack the the party is Jimenez suggesting that the world they're trying to create lacks "possibility", and then that causes her to say possibility is bad. I do think this is kinda incoherent and vague as to what it means, but I definitely don't think that coexistence is what they disagree on (In fact both in sjr and in the original game mem aleph is in support of coexistence, even if its a bloody coexistence). Just wanted to discuss this with you to see how you got this interpretation and get on the same page as I think this should be changed. Thanks. — RaccoonPestic (talk) 23:02 September 5th, 2024, (UTC)

Sorry about any confusion, I'm just kind of putting that stuff as placeholders for now so at least content is there. If you want to reword it to make it more clear you absolutely can, what I've put there is just a start. -01:14, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

Ah ok. No worrries, just wanted to make sure. I would reccomend maybe puttimg a stub for placeholder sections with the reason saying needs clarification. Keep up the good work otherwise ;) — RaccoonPestic (talk) 19:07 September 6th, 2024, (UTC)

Gourmet Detective

Just wanted you to know I reverted your edit regarding Gourmet Detective Goro Akechi. The manga for this series predates Persona 5 and a shared character name isn't enough to solidify that it is a reference (unless Masahiro Sakurai was a Smash reference after all?). Additionally, the point about them both being detectives is moot as both Goro Akechis are based on Kogoro Akechi. -- Mistiryshak (talk) 17:20, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

Ah, my bad. I didn't know that was originally a manga. I just saw people talking about it on Reddit here. -Effect-kun (talk) 18:06, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

No worries, just figured I'd give you an explanation for the revert since rollback doesn't let me add a comment. -- Mistiryshak (talk) 18:19, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

Origin Categories

Hi there! I appreciate you creating some origin categories, but I'd like to ask you to hold off for a bit. At the moment this is a staff initiative and we are in still in the preparation phase; we are working hard to ensure that the terminology and categorization is respectful of real-life cultures and people while also being accurate, and our guidelines on the matter are still unpublished. For this reason I am also going to be removing the Buddhism category as that is a whole can of worms that we are still trying to figure out because it has so many sects and regional differences that in the context of Megaten are important to differentiate. We're more than happy to hear suggestions, however. -- Mistiryshak (talk) 14:41, 26 May 2025 (UTC)

Alright, thanks for telling me. -Effect-kun (talk) 14:42, 26 May 2025 (UTC)

Schwarzwelt Investigation Team

Just a heads up, I split the Schwarzwelt Joint Project and Schwarzwelt Investigation Team pages. Figured you should know just in case since I see you doing work on a lot of the SJ pages as well.ଘ(੭ˊᵕˋ)੭* ੈ‧˚✩‧₊˚ ♡
Capes (talk) 20:09, 6 December 2025 (UTC)

Yeah, thanks for the heads up, I noticed. Also thanks for making the pages for Hammerschmidt and the Next-Generation Amphibious Assault Ships! -Effect-kun (talk) 20:13, 6 December 2025 (UTC)

Portrait Graphics in SJ/SJR

Hi there! Might be weird but there is something I wanted your take on. See when I was organizing through demon galleries I came to Doppelganger there was something that confused me. The demon had two things labeled as a "Portrait Graphic," the square box used in the menus from SJ and a half body graphic used in the cutscenes from SJR (I'm not sure how to directly the images but you see if you check out the link for Doppleganger).

For me, I feel that these should not be both labeled as "Portrait Graphic" as they seem quite different and that one them should be changed to something else like "Icon" or just "Graphic". Though since I have only just started playing Strange Journey, I wanted to get your opinion on it since you seem a lot more familiar with the games, Thanks! Starmine (talk) 23:24, 24 August 2026 (UTC)

(sorry for any spoilers since you said you just started the game)

It looks like File:SMTSJR Doppelganger Portrait Graphic.png was uploaded by User:Devil Buster, so I don't know about that, but for files from the original the original SJ, I think it's fine to leave it as is, especially because SJ doesn't really have any "portraits" otherwise (for example see Gore § Gallery) as opposed to Redux. Renaming the original SJ ones to just "graphic" might be applicable, but I don't have the authority to mass-rename files. -Effect-kun (talk) 23:40, 24 August 2026 (UTC)

That's good to know! Now I'm wondering do the square box "portrait graphic" from SJ exist in Redux? Cause my main concern was if both the half body graphics and the box graphic ones are both labeled as "portrait graphic" in the same game, then one should be switched, but if they don't exist within the same game, then yeah it would be totally fine to leave them both as is. Starmine (talk) 00:44, 25 August 2026 (UTC)

Ah, now I see. Yes, I can confirm that the two styles of the portrait graphics don't exist in the same game, if that was your concern. -Effect-kun (talk) 01:12, 25 August 2026 (UTC)

Yeah it was. Thanks for all the answering all my questions, it really helped! Starmine (talk) 04:19, 25 August 2026 (UTC)
