Now, why can't you do it? There's literallyessentially no people here. I can't read Japanese. You've got a Fandom Wiki link. If the copyrights match, then by all means, copy it. Wiki means cooperation; we are not obliged to do what you say.

I mean, I can help you clean it up; even transferring to Chinese Moegirlpedia, if that suits you. But I am not quite interested in making that entry for you. I've got like, school. --ONE-SIX, not "公的驱逐舰", whatever that means (blush) Talk · Recent Edits 00:08, 25 August 2019 (CDT)

You know what? You lucked out. That fandom wiki is CC-BY-SA compatible. I copied it for you, but clean up will take some time. Do what you can; it's what you wanted. Again, the way a wiki function is that whoever wants something happen, makes it happen; or it will not.

Also, I removed the <big> tag because we can read you message just fine. --ONE-SIX, not "公的驱逐舰", whatever that means (blush) Talk · Recent Edits 12:12, 25 August 2019 (CDT)

ReCaptcha error?

Hi, I set up a new account that I may use as my primary account later in EN MGP. Being a new account, I was asked to complete a reCAPTCHA. However, the reCAPTCHA did not show up.

I am using Chrome 76.0.3809.100 on macOS 10.14.4. As this can potentially prevent all new users from ever editing, I hope someone can address it.

Since I don't know who will be here, I will ping @Baskice @云霞 @Nostalgia.

Ask A Question About Adding the English Voice Actor\CV And Her English Voice to English Entry Page Of Mikoto Misaka

Hi One-Six:

I am dying to ask a question, would you mind telling me could you add English Voice Actor\CV And Her English Voice to English Entry Page Of Mikoto Misaka ? If you don't add it, I will add it instead of you. https://en.moegirl.org/Mikoto_Misaka

Regards, SeerElijah

--SeerElijah 08:05, 2 September 2019 (CDT)

Hi,

If your are only addressing me, you may want to use my private talk page instead.

I want to clarify again that this is a wiki-type project. Nobody is getting paid; we are here merely because of our love of a certain area.

I am really not familiar with A Certain Scientific Railgun; I am also quite busy recently. I cannot help much on that. But if you are willing to help, I will be very personally grateful: EnMoe really need contributors. You can be one.

Sorry that I can't help. Wish you good luck on editing; If you have questions, come ask me. I will try to help with the basics as much as I can.

Cheers for EnMoe. --ONE-SIX, not "公的驱逐舰", whatever that means (blush) Talk · Recent Edits 14:35, 25 September 2019 (CDT)

Ask A Question About Add Entry Page Of English Anime Licensing and Dubbing Companies

Hi One-Six:

All things considered that every one are very interested in English Dubbed Animes, so would you mind telling me can I add a entry page of English Anime Licensing and Dubbing Companies?

Regards, SeerElijah

--SeerElijah 07:14, 2 September 2019 (CDT)

Hey,

Don't ask, but do.

Be courageous. As long as you know the basics of Wiki editing, everyone will appreciate your help. We can fix issues as they come up, so don't be shy. (But don't be too bold either...)

What do you want to build though? a list of all dubbing company, or just a page dedicated to a certain one? This is a new topic in EnMoe, so you could be setting up a precedent.

You may want to refer to existing English and Chinese Moegirl pages for some typesetting example. Good luck!

Cheers for EnMoe. --ONE-SIX, not "公的驱逐舰", whatever that means (blush) Talk · Recent Edits 14:41, 25 September 2019 (CDT)

Hi:

If you could translate Dubbing Page From Chinese Moegirlpedia in Simplified And Orthodox Chinese Characters or Simplified Chinese Characters To English (Both UK English And USA English ) And Add The List Of Names Of Anime Licensing, Subbing And Dubbing Companies , that would be extremely fantastic!

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.

English Moegirlpedia Backup Plan

Hello, fellow editors.

As we all know, the English version of moegirlpedia may face site closure.

As an attempt to preserve all articles on it, I have created a github repository: [1].

This repository will act as a backup for the English version, and if the site do close, we will have a chance to, say, build another one on another server, or simply use github as the main site.

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.

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)

Notice of change of account

Let it be known that on this fifth day of March, 2020, in order to make it easier for everyone here to type my name and to voluntarily separate EnMGP and ZhMGP activities and privileges, User:公的驱逐舰 hereby switches his primary account operated on English Moegirlpedia from the aforementioned to User:One-Six.

You can expect immediate cessation of activities on EnMGP from User:公的驱逐舰.

Because it is easier that way, User:One-Six will continue to edit subpages of User:公的驱逐舰.

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.

Should we prevent non-confirmed users from adding any external links?

It appears that most spam accounts are one-time use accounts that add auto-generated "bio" and a link to whatever external site they are spamming about to their user page; occasionally they create new pages that is just word vomit and (again) link to external site.

Preventing non-confirmed users from adding any external links should curtail these spams.

中文
看起来，大部分spam账户都只用一次；它们只在自己的用户页张贴一段自动生成的“自我介绍”和一个spam链接。偶尔它们会创建新页面；内容通常是一堆无太多意义的字词和（同样地）外部链接。 阻止非确认用户添加任何外部链接应该可以减少这类spam账户的破坏。

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)

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.

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.

@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.
