Re: Saber-toothed cat
Ooooook. Saber-toothed cats do exists >.>;. I'm sorry. I had never heard of them before >.<. When they said that, I imagined my black cat fluffy with HUGE fangs... It just didn't sound right :) - Eri Honjo ( talk ) 21:01, November 1, 2012 (UTC)

Izayoi?
Quick question, does Sesshomaru's relationship section really need a part for Izayoi? It was already there, and its a stub, but I don't even see the point of it being there at all.

HalberdBanryu (talk) 02:48, November 16, 2012 (UTC)HalberdBanryu

Izayoi... Again.
I know we're not supposed to get into edit wars, but I removed the Izayoi section on Sesshomaru's page like we talked about, and then someone put it back, in a new format with terrible grammar. Am I allowed to keep taking it down when someone puts it back, or is that getting into an edit war?

HalberdBanryu (talk) 01:39, November 19, 2012 (UTC)HalberdBanryu
 * (talk page stalker) I have reverted the edits. Don't worry, Sesshomaru has never met or even spoken about Izayoi, so there's no need for a sub-section dedicated to his relationship with her. Ryoga Godai (talk)  07:05, November 19, 2012 (UTC)

Relationships?
Does every character who despises Naraku deserve a section under relationships about Naraku? Sango & Miroku's articles say what Naraku did to them... But not their relationship, blahblah... Should there be a separate section for Naraku in their relationships? I feel like a lot of the relationship sections on character pages aren't about "relationships" but they merely summarize the interaction between two characters. How do you feel about this?

Also I added 4 relationship sections to Naraku's page... Could you look them over when you have the time? Thanks.

Chapters?
Err, I feel like I'm bugging you a lot, sorry if I'm being a pest.

I'm going to start writing chapter pages. I've already written like, ten of them this evening. I plan on writing all the ones we don't have. I wanted to ask the purpose of the summary section. I've only been writing the synopsis, because saying the same thing twice seems redundant.

Synopsis: This happened. This happened. This happened.

Summary: This happened, so this person did this, which caused this to happen.

Six of one, half-dozen of the other. Also, do chapter summaries need the character-name-here every time? JINIE was going through and doing that, but I didn't see why that was necessary.

Much Appreciated.

That was actually pretty helpful, thanks Suzaku! Still, with about 500 chapters total, half of which aren't even on the wiki yet, I'm not going to write any summaries, lol. Too much work. But hopefully soon we'll have pages for every chapter with nice synopsises.

How does one change the boxes underneathe certain characters? Like for example if you go to Inuyasha or Sesshomaru's page at the bottom, the thing that has "Yokai, Hanyo, Allies, Enemies, items"... all that. It doesn't appear in source mode. How can I edit/create those?

What goes in the "PIECE" section of the chapter pages? The same number as the volume number?

HalberdBanryu (talk) 21:10, December 5, 2012 (UTC)HalberdBanryu
 * (talk page stalker) 'piece' refers to chapter's number in the volume. For example, The Exterminators is the 8th chapter of volume 9, so it's piece 8 :) Ryoga Godai (talk)  03:46, December 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * Ah, okay. I wrote a whole bunch of chapter articles today, I'll have to go back and fix that. Thanks for the info!

 * Also, Suzaku, you once told me that you weren't the person in charge of Chapter pages. Who is, then? Because I am thinking about going through all of them and changing some of the format, once I finish writing all of them anyway, which isn't too far away. Who would I talk to about that?
 * HalberdBanryu (talk) 04:20, December 6, 2012 (UTC)HalberdBanryu
 * Sorry for replying again, Rowan Salazar is in charge of the Chapter pages. Unfortunately, it seems she's on a hiatus atm. Ryoga Godai  (talk)  04:46, December 6, 2012 (UTC)

Basically, I want to put an end to the summary section (except in cases like Chapter one, The final chapter, the chapter where Sesshomaru is introduced, when Naraku is introduced, etcetera, so we can talk just a little about the characters when they're introduced and things like that.)

I haven't been writing synopsis' like "clear concise points", they're more like... Scene summaries? So basically like what was originally defined for Chapter and Synopsis, but mixed together. I think its more efficient and isn't as repetitive as when we synopsis-ize(?) and summarize. Anyway, admins can do whatever, but thats how I'm going to write all the ones I create. :P

Reply.
http://inuyasha.wikia.com/wiki/Chapter_162 is mine, compared with something like http://inuyasha.wikia.com/wiki/Chapter_4. So instead of having one synopsis with absolutely no detail (super-generic), and one summary with tons of detail, we just have one item that's kind of in between. And you're saying I shouldn't write any more chapter pages if I'm not going to do a summary? Because the pages I write are all actually good, not like when people create new pages and then add a sentence, I actually add tons of stuff, and count the number of frames/pages every time I make a page as well.

Also I just fixed something, don't know if I should have... Chapter titles that in my english editions are things like "Kikyo" and "Tokijin", "Tetsusaiga" ... I changed the Titles to Kikyō, Tōkijin, Tessaiga, etc. Even if that isn't the official English chapter title, I would give it the Japanese spelling, correct?

On Chapter 265, the pictures are being super annoying to me, could you make it look nice? Everytime I try and mess with the pictures, something weird happens to the page. I've never dealt with pictures on the chapter pages before, but its getting frustrating... Thanks very much, Suzaku!

HalberdBanryu (talk) 04:31, December 11, 2012 (UTC)HalberdBanryu

Hey Suzaku! I'll stop being a pest after I get the hang of writing the chapter pages, sorry, but it'll be worth it once we have all the chapters done, I promise! Anyway... The Band of Seven arc is completed, (yay) so I was wondering if you would browse through them, see the format, and give me the final go-ahead to change the chapter-page layout to what I've been doing, since it makes much more sense. Also, in terms of images on the pages, I was thinking every chapter page should have the title page, just like Chapter 1 does, and then have one (or two at the most) images that are particularly important/critical for following the story-line, like I did with Chapter_278 so people would see Naraku's new body. I also wanted to ask you, if we're going to abandon the summary altogether, which is what we agreed on, what should I do when I go back and improve/rewrite the chapters that introduce main characters? Simply give a brief description of the character, and then leave it up to the reader to go their character page to learn more? Because I don't want to say too much about character-personality in the synopsis's, but it should still make sense with just the chapter page, right?

On an unrelated note, do you want any help with Ryūra's page?

I haven't found any trivia to use. In the chapters with Haori and Rasetsu, I mentioned that in the manga they don't get names and in the Anime they do. Would the trivia be things like "In the anime, this happened where as in the manga blahblahblah" or "This didn't happen in the anime" or something like that? I've found that pointing out translation mistakes in the manga doesn't work because there are so many editions, and I haven't seen any weird art mistakes like "Tenseiga wasn't on Sesshomaru's hip in this frame" or something. I'll try and add some, but so far I haven't found any trivia worth noting that isn't noted somewhere else. I'll fix the character boxes and add brief sentence summaries, though.

PS I tried to add the cover page to Chapter_237, and it looked weird because its rectangularly shaped, where as Chapter 1 was a square that took up two pages. How do you want to fix that? Should I just crop it with MS paint or something? I uploaded the picture, its the most recent one, you try it and tell me if making it look alright is possible, lol.
