  • Welcome to Moegirlpedia, here is the discussion board. This page is for questions about how to use or edit Moegirlpedia or other things about Moegirlpedia.
  • We are all volunteers, so sometimes replies can take some time. Please be patient. Check back on this page to see if your topic has been replied.
  • You can click here to add a new topic.
  • For the Chinese discussion board, click here.

Welcome to the Moegirlpedia discussion board!

You can speak freely!

But don't use it as an excuse to attack other people.

Others, like us, are not perfect.

Please respect other people's comments.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Note on potential site closure

As you guys might have heard, Chinese Moegirlpedia users are debating over a new Term of Use. As a part of the debate, this English Moegirlpedia (along with the Japanese site) may de closed and its data deleted.

To be fair, English Moegirlpedia might not be touched at all -- it has little influence, and the new Term of Use might not have such a big impact on it. The sad reality is, this site might be spared simply by being forgotten. But for those of us that cares deeply about our creations, this risk can be too great.

I recommend everyone to backup their contributions locally in preparation for the worst.

I will be pinging editors who made edits in the recent 90 days here: @Ktmsobs,Yumeto,Twilight200703,Pumpkin 233,HUELIJAH,全职法师骨灰级粉丝,Dahesor,Wujx3433,Ravenclaw OIer,Deldim,SeerElijah,C0perf1eld.

Hope to see you guys through this little storm!

A Translating Group

I am pretty new to EnMGP, but I found that if we could form a translating QQ group, the items would be transated faster. --RedstoneDave 02:37, 15 February 2020 (CST)

@红石小蝈 There is indeed a semi-official QQ group. The Group ID is 650556408. -- Frank-san (Leave a message)02:22, 16 May 2020 (CDT)

About Template:NeedsTranslating and Template:Waiting for Translation

I think these two templates are very much duplicates in their function... Should we ditch the latter?--GYARI! GYARI! GYARI! ONE-SIX is no longer "公的驱逐舰"! Talk·Recent Edits 16:23, 16 February 2020 (CST)

How about redirecting Template:Waiting for Translation to Template:NeedsTranslating? KONNO Yumeto 21:55, 21 February 2020 (CST)
Kind of what I mean by ditching it. So yeah, (+)Agree. --GYARI! GYARI! GYARI! ONE-SIX is no longer "公的驱逐舰"! Talk·Recent Edits 17:24, 22 February 2020 (CST)

Done Seems like no one disagreed, so I've redirected Template:Waiting for Translation to Template:NeedsTranslating. -- Frank-san (Leave a message) 09:16, 16 May 2020 (UTC)

Petition for archiving threads

As they are too old to do any good, I petition for archiving all threads on this page that have no new messages after 1 January 2020; if this petition pass, this thread should be archived too.

As we have no clear policy on archiving nor active patrols or SysOps, I figure that an unanimous support from active editors can do the trick.

@红石小蝈 Please archive (cut-paste) all threads that have no responses later than 1 January 2020 to /Archive/Before_2020.

Notice: About User Group in En/Ja MoegirlPedia

En/Ja MoegirlPedia has been maintaining the same user group in Zh MoegirlPedia temporarily,which means that you are seen as a partoller, sysop or bureaucrat in En/Ja if you are partoller, sysop or bureaucrat in Zh, and vice versa.

But we suggest you use the discussion board in En/Ja MGP to apply for your rights if you edit there more.--wikibridgegirl(☯heaven's gate) 12:58, 29 February 2020 (CST)

Let me rephrase this.
"English and Japanese Moegirlpedia will be maintaining the same user group status as Chinese Moegirlpedia for now.
"This means that if you are a patroller, sysop, or bureaucrat in EnMGP or JaMGP, you will also be a patroller, sysop, or bureaucrat (and thus maintain the same user group status and rights) in ZhMGP; and vice versa (ZhMGP patrollers are also EnMGP patrollers, etc.)
"But we suggest that you use your local discussion boards to apply for these user group rights if you edit more on these locals. (So, use this board to apply for, say, patroller if you edit mostly in EnMGP. )"
--金萌桥姬, ZhMGP Sysop
Also, the same sysop noted that this "auto user group link", one may call, may be broken later. --GYARI! GYARI! GYARI! ONE-SIX is no longer "公的驱逐舰"! Talk·Recent Edits 23:17, 28 February 2020 (CST)

Petition for enacting policy

I hereby petition for the enactment of User:公的驱逐舰/Provisional_Policy/User_group_policy. This is a translated and adapted excerpt from the original Chinese Moegirlpedia policy to be used to govern the actions, responsibilities, applications, and removals of authorities and Good Editor status in English Moegirlpedia, necessary at this time as the user group rights are still linked between ZhMGP and EnMGP. If adopted, this policy draft should be moved to Project:Provisional user group policy and protected.

I hope for unanimous consensus from the current community.

About "Surname-Given Name" or "Given Name-Surname"

As the title, Japanese characters like Misaka Mikoto are written as Mikoto Misaka in MGP, and that's a little wierd.

So shall we discuss about it?

Some possible ways (Using Hatsune Miku as example):

  1. Hatsune Miku
  2. Miku Hatsune
  3. HATSUNE Miku
  4. HATSUNE MIKU

--RedstoneDave 06:06, 18 March 2020 (CDT)

@红石小蝈 I personally Prefer "Familyname Givenname" for Japanese names (follow convention of the original language). Some Japanese characters use "Givenname Familyname" to follow English naming traditions; I think we can make them redirects, save for the rare circumstance that you have the equivalent of "White Steven" and "Steven White" both existing. I believe no one make name all caps unless they came all caps.
This is why we kinda need a Manual of Style, man. --COVID be gone! One-Six A.K.A."公的驱逐舰" Talk·Recent Edits 17:11, 15 May 2020 (CDT)
(+)Agree I would prefer "Hatsune Miku" or "Luo Tianyi" and redirect the rest. I also support the idea of a manual; it's absolutely necessary when it comes to things like this. There are so many things lacking in EnMGP… -- Frank-san (Leave a message) 07:31, 16 May 2020 (UTC)

What's wrong with the Edit???

Is there something wrong?

@玄微子

Is there something wrong with Moegirlpedia?

I have not been able to access all the pages (including the Mainpage) of the Chinese encyclopedia since this morning.

At present, I can only open the Moegirlsaikou Foundation official website, English Moegirlpedia and Japanese Moegirlpedia.

I opened the review elements, the findings suggest that such a mistake "Mainpage: 1 Failed to load the resource: the server responded with a status of 503 ()". It looks like the server is overloaded .

I tried to restart my computer, but it didn't work to change my browser, so I'm here to ask for your help.

(my English is not very good, I used the machine translation on the Internet......)

I hope Moegirlpedia still in operation...

Request to Merge Template:Quoted from other wikis and Template:FromOther

I created Template:Quoted from other wikis yesterday, copying from the Chinese Moegirlpedia. However I have just found out about Template:FromOther today. Comparing the content of both templates I realised that there are some slight differences, not only in the wording but also in the content. I'm not sure which one to keep, so I'm posting here to see what everybody thinks about this.-- Frank-san (Leave a message) 08:19, 15 May 2020 (CDT)

@Leranjun Notice that we already had Template:From_other_wiki. I will recommend merging those two since their parameters are the same (you can even move the document page, like, right now: your doc is much better than the older one); but I will very much like to see migration to Template:FromOther eventually. There is still transclusion; can you fix those? --COVID be gone! One-Six A.K.A."公的驱逐舰" Talk·Recent Edits 17:05, 15 May 2020 (CDT)

Request to Delete Template:Quoted from other wikis

As seen in the previous discussion, these two templates have been merged, so it's unnecessary to keep Template:Quoted from other wikis anymore. -- Frank-san (Leave a message) 07:24, 16 May 2020 (UTC)

Signature time zone was set to UTC now due to a bug.

Hi girls and guys,

we found a bug that preventing timezone settings in user Special:Preferences to take effect. Therefore all users' signature time become CDT as localtimezone were set to US central time before. We now change that settings to UTC0. We are not sure why user timezone settings were not taking effect, and trying to fix that.

ijou -- Baskice(talk) 07:32, 16 May 2020 (UTC)

Seems like it's working on the Chinese site, but not here. (There is an option to use user-defined time in signature there, but I don't see the option here in the preferences panel.) --Moegirlpedia:~ Leranjun$ Home · Talk · Contrib 03:14, 17 May 2020 (UTC)

Template Similar to zh:Template:MarkAsResolved?

I was archiving all the posts on the discussion board the other day, and found out it's really hard to tell apart unnecessary posts from currently active ones without reading the contents. I'm just wondering if there is a template that can explicitly show whether or not a discussion topic is resolved, like zh:Template:MarkAsResolved.

中文

上次我在整理归档讨论版的时候,发现很难一下区分需要归档的和当前活跃的讨论串。我想知道有没有类似中文站zh:Template:MarkAsResolved的模板,能直观地显示一个讨论串是否已经被解决。
