Quick Comment
Hello, so I love the HTTYD wikia and often read it, I'm great with the cinimatic universe so it add's to that knowledge, but I don't know much about the books so it's interesting to read about them through your wikia. I noticed that for the characters a lot of the show information is summarized or even excluded from the page. One of these times is Snotlout and the Speed Stingers, although Snotlout hates them, which might be interesting, but not important, the real story is during The Next Big Sting from Race to the Edge, Snotlout at that one moment show's how corageous and selfless he can be. He risked his own life to protect the others, he might have not been able to fly away since Hookfang was half paralyzed, but he could have still tried to hide or run away, instead he led the dragon version of what most people would say are Velociraptors away from the others. I thought this was one of the most important moments for Snotlout's character development, it's rare to see Snotlout do anything for another alone, on his own accord, when it means risking his own life.

Hi! Thanks for welcoming me! I plan on trying to help this wiki for the new episodes. I did a TON of work for Finding Dory on the Disney wiki and it makes me happy to help the wiki, as I feel it is a great place to get information! I am also a HUGE Dragons fan, (you could probably tell by my username XD) and I'm glad to be here!

Thenightfurybaby (talk) 18:54, June 25, 2016 (UTC)

So Iv'e been reasing some more pages and doing a few minor edits, mostly just typos and things. I also wanted to reply to your post on my page. I've probably seen all the episodes and extra's at least three times each. I mean I'm watching the newest season of Race to the Edge for the third time right now, like Stoick said, "The boy's life has been dragons. It is dragons, and will continue to be." So I have a lot of imput on the different episodes and how they can help for both character development and dragon abilities. Furthermore I know my dragons and always learn more where I can. I will become the next Dragon Master, and unlike Hiccup I will ride my Skrill not a Night Fury.

Shadowgod1000 (talk) 06:49, June 28, 2016 (UTC)

There's only one known Night Fury, also the Skill is the fastest dragon when riding lightning, also it can recharge it's shots in a lightning storm. There's other reasons while a Skrill is a great choice, but that's not really important. And I just finished Race to the Edge for a third time so yeah, I know my stuff.

Shadowgod1000 (talk) 23:03, June 28, 2016 (UTC)

After watching the second film for about the seventh time, I noticed that I recognized the armor style of Drago's soldiers. (Not the ones wearing animal furs!) The helmets and body armor appear Kievan Rus or Finnish in nature. Should we do something with that?

Chagloo (talk) 03:25, September 14, 2016 (UTC)

What I meant was that I was wondering if we should mention that their tribe is Kievan Rus or Finnish based off of their appearance?

Chagloo (talk) 03:55, September 14, 2016 (UTC)

I know this is probably idiotic, but I have no idea how to create a gallery page.

Chagloo (talk) 19:09, September 21, 2016 (UTC)

I understand what you mean, but it doesn't let me add a category during first edit.

Chagloo (talk) 01:02, September 22, 2016 (UTC)

Hi, I was looking for stuff to do on the wiki when I came across this in Talk:Isle_of_Berk_(Franchise). What do you think of this idea? Do you believe that there just isn't enough information on these places and it should be left alone?

Chagloo (talk) 01:37, September 30, 2016 (UTC)

Manual of Style and other policies
I have been thinking recently about this wiki, and things it lacks. The major thing this wiki lacks are policy pages. For example there is no manual of style page for this wiki, and I think that it is very important to set up such a page to generalize how a page should look and how things should be done on a page. This has been bugging me for a while, ever since the issue of use of references came up with one user doing it one way, and all the other users doing it the other proper way. This got me thinking that we need to create a manual of style for this wiki. I was thinking of creating one, and I know that something like that has to be voted on, and agreed to before it becomes a set policy. P&#38;F fan92 (talk) 02:35, June 26, 2016 (UTC)

Whoowee, that was a doozy. I told you that I'd be working hard. I just did all that work on Family on the Edge. How's it look?

Thenightfurybaby (talk) 05:12, June 26, 2016 (UTC)

New Pages?
Hey, so I took the liberty of writing down all the lyrics of the songs in Tone Death. I actually made Heather's Lullaby into a page, but didn't know if you thought we should combine all of the songs into one page or have each one have a different page. Also, I didn't know if you wanted to simply call them things like "Snotlout's Song" or "Ruff and Tuff Duet" or actually come up with names together

Thanks!

Thenightfurybaby (talk) 01:35, June 28, 2016 (UTC)

Okay! They're fairly long, so I would maybe just put them all as seperate pages...Hiccup's song is actually quite lengthy once it's written down. And Heather's Lullaby is an offical page I made, although i have to revisit a few of the lyrics. Just asking permission!

Thenightfurybaby (talk) 23:13, June 28, 2016 (UTC)

"Noncanon" Dragons
They're non-canon in the way they only appear in online games, but not in the movies or shorts. Actually they can be considered canon, because they appeared in games based on the franchise, but they are non-canon because they didn't appear in it. Thorndrum (talk) 20:56, July 2, 2016 (UTC)

Canon
Then please tell Thorndrum that. I only added those noncanon things because that user claimed that rise of berk and school of dragon dragons that only appear on that were noncanon. And I'm not sure I agree with that assertion, though Thorndrum does have a point.

I am not used to this way of using talk pages. I have never had it where if someone writes on you talk page, that you have to write on their talk page. I guess I am going to have to get used to it. P&#38;F fan92 (talk) 00:49, July 3, 2016 (UTC)

Looking at the infobox on Hiccup's page I saw that some of the text blends in with the blue background of the infobox. It makes it somewhat hard to read. Just thought I would let you know. P&#38;F fan92 (talk) 00:31, July 4, 2016 (UTC)

On like every charrie infobox it says "appearence" instead of "appearance". Could you fix that? I don't want to try cause I don't want to mess up the coding or anything... XP Thanks! ;) Heathstrid   "Two axes are better than one!"    20:07, July 4, 2016 (UTC)

Yes, I meant character, sorry. ;P Heathstrid   "Two axes are better than one!"    16:16, July 5, 2016 (UTC)

Sorry, what did you mean don't put them like that? Don't italicize them? Sorry, I thought they should be italicized. :P Heathstrid   "Two axes are better than one!"    03:25, July 6, 2016 (UTC)

I see what you mean. I was just on visual editor, so I had no idea the coding had turned out like that. ;P Heathstrid   "Two axes are better than one!"    03:35, July 6, 2016 (UTC)

Oh yeah, also, what's up with the character infoboxes? Do they just need to be filled in or is there something wrong with them? Heathstrid  "Two axes are better than one!"    03:36, July 6, 2016 (UTC)

Okay. ;D I can help you with filling them out. :) Heathstrid   "Two axes are better than one!"    03:40, July 6, 2016 (UTC)

How to mark pages ...
Sooo, the battery on my laptop died and I have ordered a replacement, but it'll take about a week. I can use the computer at work, but don't have my books, etc there of course! And indepth editing is too hard on the phone. Basically this means I can't work on much. BUT I can update the Dragon info boxes on the book species pages (since the info is already there). Also, how would you like me to mark a page that I may come across that might need to be reviewed for deletion or needs more information/ is incomplete? I know there is Category:Candidates for Deletion and also the stub tag. Which do you prefer?

Ladybrasa (talk) 22:40, July 6, 2016 (UTC)ladybrasa

Hey!
So, your page has you as a "Dragon Master"! Perhaps I have missed some conversations (ha, and promotions), but does that mean you are a bearucrate? That would be pretty incredible! I went on vacation, and I've come back to find the wiki beautifully remodeled! I'm just curious who is responsible. Do you know? Was it you? If so, then congrats! It looks great. Also, if you are a new bearucrate, congrats, and I look forward to continue to working with you and the rest of the contributers. Toothless the Nightfury (talk) 03:30, July 10, 2016 (UTC)

Do you think we should make galleries subpages, like they do on most other wikis? I think it's kind of neater somehow. ;P Just a suggestion. ;) Btw, I love the Toothless icon you have on your username and stuff, how did you do that? *squeal* ^.^ XD

Hea th er   th e Ber ser ker      04:43, July 10, 2016 (UTC)

Hey there!

Do you still remember the system I suggested on your previous blog? The one about having several groups to pin point certain problems on the wiki? I was wondering if we could try that system out because I realised that our wiki is really out of format. Its a great wiki, but the problem lies with the little untidy errors in our formatting. For example, the infoboxes are really nice but as there are more than on of the same row titles a lot of users are writing info in the wrong boxes. Also, due to the large amount of people contributing to the galleries, it is very messy now. Furthermore, we have tons of transcripts that are incomplete or lack standardisation. Thus, I believe that this grouping system will work rather well now that we have found some problem areas in our wiki. I do hope you will consider this system. Thanks!

The Woolly Howl (talk) 10:21, July 10, 2016 (UTC)

Hea th er   th e Ber ser ker      16:45, July 10, 2016 (UTC)

Hey :) Is it too much to ask for if I ask you to place this forumthis forum under Site News at the home page? I would like it to be more known and publicised amongst the community to get more volunteers. I can understand if you don't wish to change it but I do hope you can consider :) And also, I wanted to ask if i should leave some messages on active users' talk pages perhaps also suggesting groups for them or would that annoy them? Thanks! ---The Woolly Howl (talk) 12:50, July 11, 2016 (UTC)

Book Dragon Species Page Updates
So I finally got the new battery for my laptop, yay!

I see you have been updating the Book Dragon Species pages. I will be going back over them, too. There are a couple things to fix. I did mention that any info in the source that is "hidden" (the information is bracketed in the code: ) was old stuff on the pages that I could not verify and may be false info. At the time, I didn't feel right deleting it, though in hind sight I should have, since it makes things more confusing. No one has stepped forward indicating the info is true.

Also, I see you are replacing the blockquote with a coding for quotes. It leaves a little blip for what the source is. On some pages you do put something down, and some you don't. For consistency, I'll go ahead and add a source there on the pages that don't have it, so there isn't a little random dash in place.

Also, some pages have the references linked to the appropriate wiki pages and some don't? It looks like you prefer them to have links, so I'll add those. Though the earlier pages are variable, it looks like you prefer no italics an no quotation marks around the book titles, so I will follow suite.

Also, I see you are applying the entire coding for the infoboxes, so I will emulate that. Wasn't sure if it effected appearance or not.

Please let me know if I misunderstood any of the changes you wanted to make!

Ladybrasa (talk) 18:46, July 15, 2016 (UTC)ladybrasa

I'm trying :P I haven't forgotten the other stuff I said I'd work on either. It'll just take time! Thanks! Ladybrasa (talk) 19:28, July 15, 2016 (UTC)ladybrasa

I just want you to know is that I realize we are using Template:Infobox character, and not Character Infobox, but CC-1990 is changing it from Template:Infobox character back to Template:Character Infobox. It seems to me that that user does not understand what we are doing, and I tried fixing other pages to correct Template but it does not work since how one template is set up is different than the other. I am hoping that the Infoboxes could be fixed back to what they are supposed to be. Also, could you leave a message for that user to remind him what Userbox we are using? Also of note is that CC-1990 is bunching up the infoboxes at same time he changing it back to the wrong infobox template. P&#38;F fan92 (talk) 20:51, July 15, 2016 (UTC)

I am confused, because I thoguht it was the other way around. I looked at the blog post and that is the way you had it. I thought the wayinfobox character was the way we are doing it with the colors we had. When did this change? P&#38;F fan92 (talk) 20:59, July 15, 2016 (UTC)

I remember originally the other one was the one that was there, and the coloring made it hard to see. But I guess the new is one is better. I guess I missed that there was another change. Now thinking about it, I guess you changed the coloring, and later changed which infobox was used. P&#38;F fan92 (talk) 21:10, July 15, 2016 (UTC)

Please answer me this: Who is posting my photos to the Gallery for Toothless cause I wanna know! And listen I just can't do this its to complicated for me to understand. Why don't you do it for me? Cause I don't know nothing about editing on this wiki and probably never will. Just please do me a favor and post my photos to their right gallery for me. --NightFuryFanNightFuryFan (talk) 00:47, July 16, 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for telling me who was posting my photos, I knew it was NightFuryLover31. Anyways I talked to her yesterday and she told me how to easily post photos to a gallery. All I just do is go to the gallery I want to post my photos to and what do you know, I got the hang of it now. And sorry I was a little mad last night but I'm better now thanks to NightFuryLover31. I owe her one. Now I know how to post photos to galleries more quickly. I did post alot of my photos to the galleries of certain episodes. So pretty much I was up all night editing the galleries of episodes. --NightFuryFanNightFuryFan (talk) 17:01, July 16, 2016 (UTC)

Can you tell me why you unitalicized the names of the series, in the first paragraph of every episode page? For your information, series names are supposed to be italicized per grammar rules, no matter where they pop up. Also, if a name of the movie, or the name of the series is linked, it should still be italicized, just as it is done when it not linked. Linked or not italicization is still needed. P&#38;F fan92 (talk) 22:37, July 16, 2016 (UTC)

Fire Type in infoboxes
Hi, I just wanted to request if you could move the fire type in the dragon infobox to under the class rather than way below. This is because it feels more appealing to viewers, just like it did before. But this is just my opinion. Lightning the Skrill (talk) 09:56, July 18, 2016 (UTC)

Hi, I just wanted to say that we shouldn't post School of Dragons user's characters or dragons in the gallery. Thanks. Lightning the Skrill (talk) 04:50, July 20, 2016 (UTC)

Just to clear up, Are the white infoboxes for dragon species and the blue infoboxes for characters? Lightning the Skrill (talk) 12:30, July 20, 2016 (UTC)

I mean that we shouldn't post images of people's dragons in School of Dragons. For example, if I want to post a picture of a Snow Wraith from School of Dragons in the gallery, then I shouldn't post a picture of MY OWN Snow Wraith in game, but rather a poster made by SoD. And so does that mean we need to change all the franchise dragon species' info boxes into blue? And btw I'm also new to replying to messages on other people's user talk.

Deleting Snotlout???

Hi!
can we be friends? Spinocroc123 (talk) 13:20, July 22, 2016 (UTC)

I've noticed that gallery pages are being renamed from Gallery: Name to Name/Gallery. I am not so certain about the renaming of those pages. Are you fine with the renaming of galleries? I do know that it would give a link back to the character or episode page right under the title of the gallery. I just am hesitant to go with the that way of naming a gallery. It just seems awkward to me. The only other wiki I really did edits on, the way we named galleries was the way that they have been named here, and now without much discussion that is being changed. My major problem comes in that by renaming Hiccup and Astrid's galleries for their pictures from the tv series and galleries, it takes away the link to go back to the main gallery page for those characters and instead links back to the character's main page. P&#38;F fan92 (talk) 18:25, July 22, 2016 (UTC)

Hi Annabeth and Percy. I changed the name of the gallery pages because otherwise the gallery template wouldn't work properly. If you would like to have a look at the template and change a few things, then here is the template: Template:Gallery. If you feel that what I've done is wrong, then I'm really sorry for the inconvenience. Life isn't about Finding Yourself. It's about Creating Yourself ! 22:17, July 22, 2016 (UTC)

Ok. Thanks. I'll do that next time. Life isn't about Finding Yourself. It's about Creating Yourself ! 00:04, July 23, 2016 (UTC)

I just thought about what we could do on the episode pages, specifically in the summary of the plot. I was thinking that it would be good to add pictures throughout the summary alternating sides. I feel this would help and would be a way to break up long summaries, and give people reading the pages something else to look at. For me it seems that having those pictures throughout the summary really would add to the page. It just came to me that we have not done that with the episode summaries we already have and it would be great to do so, and it would make our episode articles better. P&#38;F fan92 (talk) 02:19, July 25, 2016 (UTC)

Well that I am not quite sure of, but you can look in galleries for pictures, and then quite possibly upload pictures, if there are pictures that you might want to put there that have not been uploaded yet. There are some episodes that have a very limited amount of pictures in their galleries so those would need to have additional pictures uploaded. I would tend to try to have a good variety of pictures. Also that when a picture is put in the summary it has to belong in that part of the summary, as in that it came from that part of the episode. But other than that it is hard to set in stone how we decide what pictures we might use. P&#38;F fan92 (talk) 02:49, July 25, 2016 (UTC)

I have a quick question and it relates to a page that I am going to split up, and it is the last one I need to split up. That page is the Tuffnut Thorston page. I was going to split it up and change the infobox to the correct one. But as the name for the Book version of Tuffnut is named Tuffnut Junior, I am wondering if I should use that name in the page name, or if I should just Name it Tuffnut (Books) and Tuffnut Thorston (Franchise). This matters because I was also going to the add the tabber template once both pages were created. Also important is Snotlout's page, as I do realize that the name Jorgenson is only for the franchise and not for the books, but I pretty sure that if I rename it then the Tabber template will not work properly. P&#38;F fan92 (talk) 16:49, July 26, 2016 (UTC)

I am trying it out and it seems to not be working, either way I do it, it is does not work. On the Tuffnut Thorston page when I do Tabber|Tuffnut Thorston|Tuffnut Junior, two links to the Tuffnut Junior page show up, and when I do the reverse of that, two links the Tuffnut Thorston page pop up. The same thing happens on the Tuffnut Junior page. P&#38;F fan92 (talk) 17:25, July 26, 2016 (UTC)

I tested it out with the Fishlegs (books) and Fishlegs Ingerman (Franchise) pages, and it does not work. To me it seems that the first link that gets listed is for some reason ignored, meaning the template is not using it, but the second link does get used and is used as the link for both tabs, which it should not be doing.

Hey Annabeth! I was just wondering if we should create separate pages for every gallery? Something like those of the main characters like Hiccup and Toothless. This ensures more consistency among the pages. Most wikias take on this format of linking the page to the gallery and I think we should adopt this system. What do you think? --The Woolly Howl (talk) 09:51, July 28, 2016 (UTC)

Hi! It's a bit like the Gallery: Toothless. It's easier to organise with all the subheadings and since we have a couple of pages like that for major characters, it will be more consistent. By the way, what happened to the page on Hiccup? Why does it say its under speedy deletion? Thanks! --The Woolly Howl (talk) 04:52, July 29, 2016 (UTC)

Red Death
It seems to be possible that the dragons worked for the Queen for protection as they will give her food to be safe from humans longest they do thier duties.

As Dragon island was never found by humans for years until Hiccup had founded by the Night Fury.

Which made more sense as the dragons didnt fight the humans in the HTTYD as the Queen burst out of the island to fight Stocik men since it clearly as she was able to kill most of the people on berk. Flameterry (talk) 23:49, August 2, 2016 (UTC)

A user moved the page Edge of Disaster, Part 2 back to the name Edge of Disaster Part II, and in this circumstance I can't move it back to that name, due to the redirect existing. Could you move that page back to the name you had moved it to before and get rid of the redirects that were created? P&#38;F fan92 (talk) 21:17, August 4, 2016 (UTC)

Per our discussion a little while ago, I think I have covered all the Books relating to the HTTYD Original Books and Franchise. They are on the following pages: How to Train Your Dragon (series), Comics, and Books Related to the HTTYD Franchise (though the page title is a bit much). These three pages would be linked on a drop down menu from the menu bar at the top.

However, I see that the menu bar at the top has changed recently, too ... I think there should be some way for a Wiki visitor to find all the 1000+ pages on this wiki. We would just need a good way of organization of all these pages and ways to get to them other than just searching.

Let me know your thoughts or if I need to fix something!

Navigation and Survey, maybe?
So, as yet I'm not sure about ideas for navigation organization. What I was wondering is what features/info groupings of this Wiki do visitors go to the most? As in: Is it Dragon Species? TV Episode info? Characters? Other things? Whatever they are, those should be made easy to get to as soon as our Wiki page loads. I'm not sure if you are able to view this information?

I was also wondering if it would be helpful to do a kind of inpromptu survey on the SOD forums. I have a log-in there, and its a reasonable sampling of HTTYD fans who most likely at least know of our Wiki. I could make a thread and just ask what info they find most useful, or how Navigation could be improved, or things to that effect. What do you think?

Ladybrasa (talk) 22:11, August 5, 2016 (UTC)ladybrasa

So just glancing at the popular pages Page, it seems the most visited are dragon species pages, specific character pages, and Movie/TV show pages (I wonder how many visits are from us editors?). Not Books, Music, Games, or Other :(  but those are still important broad categories, I think? Maybe not music? So under "Media" on that main Nav bar at top, it could be similar to what it is now, but have: Movies, Film Shorts, TV Shows, Books, Games, and Other which could contain the Live Spectacular and the Music pages. Am I missing any Media? Maybe a link to the Fanon also? That's all I got right now. If this sounds acceptable, I can work on spiffing up any pages or creating them.

I'll work on posting a survey of sorts on the SOD forums today, also.

so you deleted my pages, i see. im now getting angry. by User:ExtintAnimalStudier

I just want to let you know that some of the transcripts for the early episodes, shorts and film need to be fixed so they are formatted correctly. As they are right now, the text is all squeezed together with the use of to make it be seperate for those viewing the transcript outside the editor. That is not the best way to do things on a transcript or any page for that matter. The text should be separated like, character who speaks and a colon with proper marking to make it bold print, then what the character says, and then hit enter twice and then the same thing as before. This is much more convenient and in the end will make it easy to repair transcripts, which those with bunched up text are harder to edit. It also looks better to spread out the text while editing. I just fixed up the transcript for Animal House to be the way the transcript should be. It took awhile, and I am not sure how many transcripts will a similar reformatting. P&#38;F fan92 (talk) 15:19, August 24, 2016 (UTC)

That one person who I have mentioned, but not by name, is continuing to change pages from the proper way to the unproper way. Take Astrid's page for example, he has add reference links for internal links, little by little. I want to fix up that page and the many other pages that have been messed up by that user, but I fear it will do no good as I have fixed what he has done before only for him to change it back. I personally have not let a message on a talk page but one of the other admins who is inactive right now did. I have when undoing the edit left reasons most of the time for why I am undoing the edit. It has not done any good. He never responds to anything, he never has changed what he does. This have driven me crazy for a long time, and something needs to be done. I don't know what got in his head, or why he thinks using reference links for internal sources is ok, and I am left with nothing I can possibly do myself, and this is just going to continue to go on. I know there is a lot to fix, and I am willing to take the time, as I have ample time to fix up the wiki, and I will continue to have ample time to fix up the wiki for the at least the next several months. But this problem is one that is going to keep me from being able to efficiently do the other things I have planned to do on this wiki. By the way I feel that it is time to say that the user I am talking about is CC-1990. I know you might already know this, but I just want to make sure. I am very wiki minded and I want what is best for this wiki, and to clean up and add to the wiki what needs to be added to get it closer to what we want this wiki to be.

Internal References
I got your message message. The only reason i did that was because i thought at the time, the article did not need that many headings. I thought it would be a nice thing to do. I can understand with giving specials, but giving each episode it own sections seems to be a wast time, since the character could just have a small role in the episode. I just wanted to make this wiki be as good as Wookieepedia. That's how i got the the idea for those templates I use when references things.

I noticed you reverted my edit, stating to please not remove the headers. I checked my edit, and I had mistakenly messed up the headers, which I apologize for. I also noticed you undid my revision of the page as well, and reverted the text back to its original form. What was wrong with it?

Hey Annabeth! I've been working on the galleries for the dragon species and I think I'll be done wit them all in about a week, give or take a couple days. After this, I'm planning to moving on to clean up some of the formatting and content for the dragon species' main pages. I was thinking that since the formatting is really messy, we should stick to one fixed 'template' for these pages. What do you think about this order:

(Quote in template)

Official Description--(Various descriptions in the 'Quote' Templates)

Physical Appearance--(Inclusive of its Titan Wing apearance, or its subspecies')

Abilities

Weaknesses

Behaviour & Personality

Training

Appearances

Notable Dragons of the Species

Trvia

Gallery

Notes and References

Please let me know what you think about this order. Hopefully the pages will become more organised after this and we can eventually move on to the characters and other problematic pages. And apologies for this space-consuming message >.< Thanks! ---The Woolly Howl (talk) 11:02, September 21, 2016 (UTC)

Little busy I'm sorry for my inactivity in recent times but during the last days I have some responsibilities to do. But don't worry in the end I find time to come. I have free weekend (probably) so i try apper. Greetings from Whispering Death (talk) 17:57, September 21, 2016 (UTC)

Hey Annabeth! Regarding the format I was talking about, do you think we should include the section 'Development' below the official descriptions? A lot of wikias have this section for their characters and it focuses mainly on how the producers work the characters from scratch and I feel that it would be really cool and informataive to add it in. This ssection would definitely be more significant in the character pages, but some dragons have really great development process and concept art behind it. Considering that these info can be quite hard to find unless you own like the concept art books, I guess it'll be a plus point for the wikia. What do you think about it?

And by the way, congrats on 2000 edits! It's really a lot and personally, I'm really glad that you, as an admin, are putting in lots of effort and commitment. It was a bit of a rare sight last time. ---The Woolly Howl (talk) 12:18, September 26, 2016 (UTC)

With all the Galleries that have been created lately, it got me thinking about how we can improve on linking from a page to it's gallery. I think the way we do it now is not the best way. On other wikis a template is used that allows a user to take a picture of the person's whose page it is and put it in the template, and allows for a user to include other information that might be necessary. The result has the picture with the words under it that say the image gallery for (Person/Dragon) may be viewed here. Through that one would click the word here which would take them to the specific gallery that was designated in the template. An example is []. I think doing it this way is better than the way we do now. Using the same picture that says gallery isn't that great, and I think by doing the way I am suggesting here, that we can add a variety of pictures while at the same time having a link be where we click on a word to go to the gallery, rather than on the picture. If we do this, it will take some time to change it on every page that has a link to a gallery page, but I think the change would be worth it, allowing us to have a picture of the person or dragon, instead of the same old picture that says gallery on it. P&#38;F fan92 (talk) 21:20, September 26, 2016 (UTC)

I'll get the template copied over tomorrow. As for choosing pictures, when replacing the current link to galleries, with this template, each page will have a different picture, and it would be best for it to have only that specific character whose page it is in the picture if possible. When changing from the current way we link to galleries, to the template I will be adding tomorrow, an example of what picture we would use is when we add that template on Hiccup's page it would have to be a picture of Hiccup, on Astrid's page a picture of Astrid, etc. The template itself will not have a picture, just a place where a file name can be placed, with of a course a different picture for each page the template is on. P&#38;F fan92 (talk) 01:30, September 27, 2016 (UTC)

Hey Annabeth! I'm not very sure where to find an example, but I guess you can check out wikias like the Disney Wikia or the Marvel Cinematic Universe Wiki. These are all top wikias on the WAM chart and I think that it would be really beneficial to have a 'role model' wikia to look up to. Most of the characters, movies and scenes on these wikias have a section in which they talk about how the producers work on the characters' appearance, explore their personalities and stuff on how the character or element of the story become what it is currently. We can start by getting information of 'The Art of...' books, interviews etc. I think there was an interview, I can't really remember which but I'll try to find it, in which Dean actually talked about how they designed the dragons to ensure they were realistic in terms of science, animation and concept. Yep, and I'll remember to centre the gallery image on th pages. Apologies about that! ---The Woolly Howl (talk) 06:59, September 27, 2016 (UTC)

Hi! Terribly sorry for this really minor issue of mine, but how do I change the gallery image to fit in the centre? The settings keep blocking me from changing its alignment to the centre and can't figure out how to using both the classic and visual editor. Really sorry for this unnecessary trouble, but I'm really not the most tech-savvy person around. ---The Woolly Howl (talk) 07:48, September 27, 2016 (UTC)

The new template is a go. As of now the only way to use it is the way I did it om Astrid and Hiccup's page. I only added a name of the picture I chose to use after the word galleries when put the template on the page, as adding anything else makes it not work. As in, Galleries|name of file, of course with brackets around it is the way it has to be done. P&#38;F fan92 (talk) 15:11, September 27, 2016 (UTC)

Those ideas are very interesting. The only thing that holds it back is the fact that an infobox, as you said, can only have one picture. That being said I am not completely sold on the idea the other person suggested. One, I have never seen it done that way. Two, I think the gallery section should not gotten rid of, and the template I created used in that section. While the idea is interesting, I am opposed to it. It isn't a bad idea, it is just one that I am not familiar with and one I think is just unusual to use. I don't get why exactly it would be better to combine the link to the gallery with the infobox rather than keep the gallery section and use the template I added to this wiki there. I will, however, not make any more changes in the gallery section of pages until a decision is made for what we use. Of course, I like my idea better to use the template I created in the gallery section of pages. P&#38;F fan92 (talk) 14:35, September 28, 2016 (UTC)

Well, thanks for clearing that up, I did not realize that you had just used the same picture. Anyway, I do think a vote on this a great idea, as that would give more people a chance to give their opinions on one or the other, and choose which one they think we should use. The infobox way could not be used on the Astrid and Hiccup's Relationship page, since that page has no infobox, if we were to use the infobox way. Also, on the main gallery pages like Hiccup's gallery page, and Astrid's gallery page, their galleries have been separated into multiple gallery pages, and the links to them are on their main gallery page, and in those cases the galleries template would have to be used on it's own. I just would have to figure out how to make it work properly, and I will take a look at how they did it on the wiki I got the template from for how they did it in those cases, as it is not just a plain and simple add just, Galleries|Picture, format in that case. P&#38;F fan92 (talk) 16:12, September 28, 2016 (UTC)

I was looking at some pages and saw that on those page that use Template:Infoxbox, that their infoboxes were not popping up properly. I am not exactly sure how to fix that, but it does need to be fixed. One example of the issue would be the infobox on the How to Train Your Dragon 2 page. Also, one other thing is that that template you created, the character infobox 2, and character infobox 3 are only for characters, and as such would only cover the character pages, and not the dragon pages, the episode pages, the specials and movies pages. What I was suggesting with galleries template, was for all the pages that have links to galleries, use that template in some way to link to the galleries, instead of the current way we do it. When it comes to using the galleries template on the episode pages, and movies and shorts, the picture that should be used in the template should be the title card, and those pages with the title cards in the infobox already should be changed to a different picture from the episode, film, or short. In that way the episode, films, and short pages would just use the galleries template, and would not need a infobox created for them. But for dragons, if we were to go with having the galleries template in the infobox, a new infobox would have to be created for dragons to include that. Of course it might be easier to just be use the galleries template in the galleries section instead of creating a new infobox for the dragons. P&#38;F fan92 (talk) 18:57, September 28, 2016 (UTC)

I am working on infoboxes for those who worked on the movies and series. I was thinking of creating an infobox for Actors, and an infobox for all the rest of the people that do not fall under that category. I wanted to know what you thought about that? The infoboxes happen to be messed up on the pages of people who have them, since the default infobox is used. P&#38;F fan92 (talk) 18:44, September 30, 2016 (UTC)

I have a question about what CC-1990 has put at the bottoms of pages. What I noticed him putting there was a thing called default sort, and he had put the name of the character in it last name first. I did notice some time ago you were getting rid of some of the default sort things at the bottom of pages. I am with fine with that since we never used that before, and I just want to know if I should get rid of the default sort things at the bottoms of all the pags he added it on. Also, CC-1990 when adding infoboxes to pages continues to bunch them up when adding them, and sometimes the infoboxes have the information out of order. He as well is putting the first line of the page on the same line as the last line of the infobox, as seen when you are in source mode. It irritates me when he bunches those things up and does not properly space them, and I always go and fix them when I see that happen. I have seen other users put infoboxes on pages all bunched up, as well as putting the first line of a page on the same line as the last line of the infobox. I think this here is an example of why we need a manual of style for the pages as soon as possible. P&#38;F fan92 (talk) 03:14, October 1, 2016 (UTC)

Hey Annabeth! Regarding the developmnt section, I was wondering if you could check out these videos, Evolution of the Thunderdrum and Evolution of Whispering Death. These particular two videos have information that are quite relevant to the species' design, realism, animation progress etc. Another interview that's particularly interesting is  Animator's Corner, which investigates mainly on the story board development as well as the technical bit of animation, so I'm assuming that this video wil help when moving on to the characters' pages. I will also be basing the content on that section on the concept art and the content from the Art of HTTYD books. And also, I happened to swoop by the Rise of the Guardians Wikia and they happen to have a section on that, titled Conception and Creation. As another Dreamworks film, I'm hoping that it would be a more relevant sample for us to examine. While I haven't actually started on this section (I'm mainly cleaning up the article's organisation which is way less time consuming) due to  exams, do you think the content here is fine? Was this what you might have expected when I first proposed this idea? I should begin around 11 October, after my last paper. Thanks a million! ---The Woolly Howl (talk)10:07, October 3, 2016 (UTC)

Hey! Haha it's alright. I'm not pressured into it at all. It's perhaps just that I take a lot of pride in my work and I feel really uncomfortable looking at incomplete stuff. Downsides of being a perfectionist I guess... But thanks, and no worries! The Woolly Howl 04:49, October 4, 2016 (UTC)

I do like the idea of having a twitter thing on the side of the main page. I will search for an official HTTYD account we could use at some point tonight. P&#38;F fan92 (talk) 21:09, October 4, 2016 (UTC)

I did not realize that a page for Endeavour already existed so I created one. Can you delete the page I created? It's Endeavour without the u.7SevensevnMW (talk) 20:27, October 5, 2016 (UTC)7SevensevnMW

Hello there! :)
Hello there! It is so good to see you again! Did you have a good summer? I really missed being on this Wiki. I wanted to ask something. Will you help me find a new signature? ~Eliza White

Siggy :)
Hi, I would like my siggy to be, "Danielle White, The Queen of Gumdrops and Gingerbread, is here to make your day shine!" with Danielle White is dark blue shade with Chalkduster font, and the other words in green shade, in Cherry Cream SOda Font."

Just a quick question. For the page about the Green Death, it currently says in the infobox that his last appearance was in How to Steal a Dragon's Sword. But this was in a story set way in the past and his actual last appearance was in How to Train Your Dragon which he died in at the end.7SevensevnMW (talk) 22:32, October 5, 2016 (UTC)7SevensevnMW

Background
Why the wikia background is changed to old? Old ya is much better.

Hey! I'm just dropping by to ask a question about the dragon species page. For the section under 'Appearances', most of the pages mention the species becoming available in the games School of Dragons and Rise of Berk. However, I noticed thatt there isn't much information to be included, mostly one-liners on the species being made available in the gamplay and specific individuals, and this makes that section almost redundant. I was thinking about including the stats for the games, but wouldn't that be a little off topic? Our focus isn't really on the game mechanics. However, I think that we should still include it because afterall, it is canon, and it would be really unfair to include their appearances from all the shorts, episodes and even the live spectacular. So, what should we do to that section? ---The Woolly Howl (talk) 13:51, October 10, 2016

So about my question, should the Green Death's last appearance be considered to be in How to Train Your Dragon or How to Steal a Dragon's Sword?Lavamelon (talk) 03:20, October 11, 2016 (UTC)lavamelon

Why is it that book titles aren't italicized on this wiki?Lavamelon (talk) 20:14, October 11, 2016 (UTC)lavamelon

Okay, thank you for clarifying the italicizing thing. But what I was asking was that should the Green Death's last appearance be considered How to Train Your Dragon or How to Steal a Dragon's Sword. The page currently says How to Steal a Dragon's Sword, but should that be considered an appearance as the Green Death was blown up at the end of How to Train Your Dragon.Lavamelon (talk) 21:22, October 11, 2016 (UTC)lavamelon

Thanks!Lavamelon (talk) 22:37, October 11, 2016 (UTC)lavamelon

Ok sure! So I guess we have to stick with the same format for the appearance then. And about the signature, yes please! Thanks a million. I really appreciate that! :o) - The Woolly Howl (talk) 01:50, October 12, 2016 (UTC)

Hey! I would like just one text, so its just one colour and font. I would like the font to be be Mistral and its colour, White Smoke. Once again, thank you so much! The Woolly Howl (talk) 02:36, October 13, 2016 (UTC)

I have a couple of things I want to mention.

1) I am considering splitting up some of Hiccup's gallery pages even further, as well as some of Astrid's gallery pages. I am also considering splitting up the gallery for Astrid and Hiccup's relationship. My goal in doing this is to make sure the galleries are a reasonable length. I have thought about this the last couple days and I really feel that doing this is necessary and will those gallery pages more manageable.

2) I was also thinking we could make a Where can I see it? page like this one. I feel it will provide information that we are not providing already, as in where we can watch certain episodes and films, and where we can purchase episodes and films.

3) The infobox on the DreamWorks Dragons: The Series is not showing right now since the infobox it is using is Template:Infobox. I am not sure exactly what we would call the infobox we would need to create for that page.

4) I was wondering if we should create an infobox for DVDs which would be called Template:DVD Infobox.

5) One last thing is that there is that no where on the wiki are the extras listed that are on Itunes Extras (come with purchase of HD versions of HTTYD and HTTYD2 on Itunes), Blu Ray, and DVD. I was wondering if we should create pages for those extras, one for the HTTYD extras, and one for the HTTYD2 extras. In it we could list all the extras and give some details about them, and then have use symbols and such to mark whether an extra is available on the DVD, Blu-Ray or The Itunes Extras that come with purchasing the HD version of the films on Itunes.

Sorry for the long post here, I just had a few things that I had to get out and ask you, and you have not been available on chat the last couple of days at the times I have been available. P&#38;F fan92 (talk) 03:12, October 13, 2016 (UTC)

There are a few pages that have been created for DVDs. This category lists all those pages.

I was just wondering if we should do it or not. The reason I asked is because another user used the shorts infobox on the Dragons: Mystery of the Dragon Eye page, and that is a DVD that contains select episodes from Season 1 of Race to the Edge, not a short. P&#38;F fan92 (talk) 17:23, October 13, 2016 (UTC)

What I was thinking is we should have at page for listing the DVDs all on one page, sort of like this. I was also thinking that having a merchandise portal where can have links to pages that list a specific type of merchandise. Which the DVD page would be one, a page listing all the stuffed animals and action figures would be another, and any games would be listed on another page, and then the links to those and other pages would be put on a page kind of like this. This is just an idea but I think we need to keep track of the merchandise that is available. P&#38;F fan92 (talk) 17:35, October 13, 2016 (UTC)

Hey Annabeth! Just wondering if you have read my previous message on my preferences on my custom signature. It's been a few days so I thought you haven't read it since it's lost somewhere between other more important messages. If you have, I donn't mean to rush you. Just take your time and focus on the more important matter first. Just wanted to check. Thanks! The Woolly Howl (talk) 06:39, October 16, 2016 (UTC)

Why are there two pages for How to Seize a Dragon's Jewel? 1 and 2Lavamelon (talk) 21:57, October 17, 2016 (UTC)lavamelon

Why is it that the infobox template is all messed up? It only shows a gray box with the name of the thing.Lavamelon (talk) 02:58, October 19, 2016 (UTC)lavamelon

I meant just the basic infobox. The template litterally just says infobox.Lavamelon (talk) 21:43, October 20, 2016 (UTC)lavamelon

Count-down timers
Not sure if the count-down timers are just something I missed or they are new? Just wanted to say I like them :) I know Berk's Grapevine has some, but I think these are good for visitors and fitting for our wiki!

Ladybrasa (talk) 01:18, October 21, 2016 (UTC)ladybrasa

Hey Annabeth! I was just wondering if we should actually have a template for the Dragon Species Galleries and Character Galleries. The other galleries, like those for episodes and movies, have that little succession box template at the bottom of the page since it's in chronological order. I'm not quite sure how it works for the character galleries, but I think that a navigation box like Template:Dragons at the bottom of these gallery pages would be good. It's a little inconvienient for readers and editors to scroll all the way to the bottom of the page, then click the categories and look through them. Perhaps a template similar to the above, but for the galleries would be useful? ---  The Woolly Howl  10:25, October 21, 2016 (UTC)

Hi! Do you mind checking out the dragon species gallery template I created, Template:Dragon Species Gallery. If it's alright I'll be adding it to the respective dragon species galleries. --- The Woolly Howl  05:35, October 22, 2016 (UTC)

Hi! Can you add "Food" at Dragon Infobox? I know that all of the dragons eat fish but some of them eat something else. For example: Razorwhip's food: Seaslugs, Death Song's food: Other dragons, Typhoomerang's food: Eels, and so on.

Httyd big fan (talk) 05:41, October 23, 2016 (UTC)

I also got to ask, that if we're not allowed to italicize titles while they're linked, can we put "quotation marks" at the beginning and end?Lavamelon (talk) 22:19, October 23, 2016 (UTC)lavamelon

Also you didn't answer my question about the infobx after I cleared up your question. I realized that I put internal references, as I forgot to link them. I'll do that now.Lavamelon (talk) 01:13, October 24, 2016 (UTC)lavamelon

I think there is need for the creation of an object infobox.Lavamelon (talk) 17:10, October 24, 2016 (UTC)lavamelon

Please understand what I said in chat~ Nicole Keyfel

Hey Annabeth! I was wondering if it would be a better idea to create a row for Template:Dragon Infobox on known individuals of the species. Right now, there's a 'Known Individuals' section right below the 'Appearances' section, which I find really redundant as most of them are mentioned above. By adding that row in the infobox, we can type in the name of the individual and where it appears in in brackets behind it. For example, on that row for the infobox on the Armorwing page, editors type in 'Bandit (Snotlout Gets the Axe and Dragons: Rise of Berk). Hopefully this works out? --- The Woolly Howl 07:46, October 25, 2016 (UTC)

I believe that all the pages in the Category: Objects need an object infobox. Some of the categories within the infobox can be owner(s), date made, first appearance, ect.Lavamelon (talk) 17:12, October 25, 2016 (UTC)lavamelon

Why did you ban me? I am an innocent user, I promise. Please unban me from chat. You do not understand. I am a new, innocent user. That user was actually bullying me on other chats too. Please unban me. You are a sweet user and I know it. If you are sweet, please unban me. Nicole Keyfel (talk) 03:56, October 26, 2016 (UTC) Nicole Keyfel

Oh, sorry! I'm not exactly the clearest person. But I have edited Template:Dragon Infobox, do note the extra row labeled 'Known Individuals', and started adding them to the respective dragon pages. Please do check Armorwing and the other first few dragon pages in alphabetical order out. Is it alright? Personally, it seems a tad bit odd to be in front of the size photo. --- The Woolly Howl 09:58, October 26, 2016 (UTC)

Hi! So sorry, please ignore my previous message. I re-edited the infobox, such that there is a completely new section in the infobox called 'Known Individuals'. Please do take a look at Armorwing to Changewing. I think it looks better like this, but I find that some can be too wordy and chunky, for example, the one in the Changewing page. Please do let me know what you think about it. --- The Woolly Howl 11:03, October 26, 2016 (UTC)

Hi! I just completed clearing up the format and galleries for the dragon species pages, so I'll be working on the Developement section and the character pages soon. Could you please check out Template:Character List to see if this template is alright? I'll add them to the bottom of every character's page when I start work on them.

Is it appropriate to add a link to a gallery page within an infobox like here Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III (Franchise), or a template at the bottom that links to the gallery like here Toothless (Franchise)?---Lavamelon (talk) 22:53, November 11, 2016 (UTC)lavamelon

heyy

Sigh... I just don't understand. I only italicize titles because it's proper grammar. Those titles weren't linked. How did I mix dragon species with characters?

What is it with categories on this wiki? I feel they are so vague and confusing. Searching though all these feels like category-ception. I feel like there should be ONE category for everything appearing in How to Train Your Dragon (franchise and books), How to Train Your Dragon (film), How to Train Your Dragon 2, DreamWorks Dragons: The Series, Dragons: Riders of Berk, Dragons: Defenders of Berk, Dragons: Race to the Edge, How to Train Your Dragon (book series), How to Train Your Dragon (book), How to Be a Pirate, How to Speak Dragonese, How to Cheat a Dragon's Curse, How to Twist a Dragon's Tale, A Hero's Guide to Deadly Dragons, How to Ride a Dragon's Storm, How to Break a Dragon's Heart, How to Steal a Dragon's Sword, How to Seize a Dragon's Jewel, How to Betray a Dragon's Hero, and How to Fight a Dragon's Fury. Also there should be one category for characters and one for dragons that appeared in each of those. Also the Riders of Berk, Defenders of Berk, and Race to the Edge ones should be sub-categories of DreamWorks Dragons. Phew... typing that was exhausting.---Lavamelon (talk) 22:28, November 14, 2016 (UTC)lavamelon

Also I've noticed that there are mutiple categories for certain topics. For example, Category:Book Dragons and Category:How to Train Your Dragon (series) dragons both exist. I suggest deleting Book Dragons. I will move all the ones from Book Dragons to How to Train Your Dragon (series) dragons.Lavamelon (talk) 00:07, November 15, 2016 (UTC)lavamelon

Well... if you say so. Personally I like the sound of How to Train Your Dragon (series) dragons more than Book Dragons.---Lavamelon (talk) 02:08, November 15, 2016 (UTC)lavamelon

Hey Annabeth! Recently, I've been editing a bit of the charater pages, and I wanted to clarify some stuff.

1. For the references section, only external references should be included, right? Internal links should not be included in our references?

2. For the Biography section, would it be better to italicise the episode names? In addition, if the character was let's say, only mentioned in an episode, the heading should be labeled as 'Early Life' or 'Background', instead of the episode name, since the Biography should be in his 'perspective'.

3. Regarding point 1, I realised that some wikias, and even wikipedia, has this pop-up that appears when the mouse hovers over the reference. I personally find ithis much easier for both editors and readers, perhaps we could include this in the wiki somehow?

I just needed to clarify some of these. Please do let me know what you think! Thanks! --- The Woolly Howl 08:35, November 15, 2016 (UTC)

Can you add a "Source" part to the Template:Ship Infobox please?---Lavamelon (talk) 21:14, November 15, 2016 (UTC)lavamelon

Oh, and a gallery part too, please.---Lavamelon (talk) 21:16, November 15, 2016 (UTC)lavamelon

Hey! Remember the pop-up reference I was talking about? Do take a look atthis. If I'm not wrong, only an admin can install this template since it has to be installed into the wikia itself. Perhaps you could look into this? --- The Woolly Howl 09:12, November 16, 2016 (UTC)

Thanks so much! The references look amazing! Just to check, I'm assuming that all our references should follow a proper format. Are we supposed to used like APA, or the Chicago format etc.? --- The Woolly Howl 05:10, November 18, 2016 (UTC)

They're basically proper formats for referencing. Anywyas, I think that we should use the APA format, which is basically just [Author. (Date and Year of publication). ''Article Title. Retrieved from ''URL.] It's more universally used, so if you're ok with it, I'll used it for the references. --- The Woolly Howl 06:44, November 18, 2016 (UTC)

Is there a way for normal users like me to remove categories from a page? If so, how? In the meantime, can you tell me if the category "Movie Dragons" for just movie dragons or franchise dragons in general. I looked at the pages in the category, and I found plenty of dragons that have not appeared in any of the movies.---Lavamelon (talk) 23:08, November 18, 2016 (UTC)lavamelon

Hey! Recently, I was thinking about splitting the Navbox for Template: Dragons, as it is quite hard to navigate around when it's in alphabetical order, and to segregate the Books and Franchise species. So I created Template:Franchise Dragons Navbox. I think it is clearer this way. What do you think about it? If you are ok with it, I'll create one for the Book species. --- The Woolly Howl 11:58, November 19, 2016 (UTC)

How much content does an article need to no longer qualify as an "Article Stub"? Also, what is "Complex Code"?---Lavamelon (talk) 00:19, November 20, 2016 (UTC)lavamelon

Hey Annabeth! Thank you so much! I have completed the template for the book dragons here. They don't have official icons, which is kinda sad. I just wanted to ask you if you think it would be better if we changed the icons for the franchise one to those by Rise of Berk. Attached is just one of them. I think it would look much better, but the problem is that there isn't one for the Tracker Class and Unknown Class. So, should we stick to our current one, or change it?--- The Woolly Howl 10:20, November 20, 2016 (UTC)

Can you please add a "side3" to Template: War?---Lavamelon (talk) 23:07, November 20, 2016 (UTC)lavemelon

Can you change it so there is a clear distinction between book and franchise stuff in this Template:Tribe Infobox? Like for example, can you rename "Chieftains" to "Franchise Chieftains"?---Lavamelon (talk) 05:04, November 23, 2016 (UTC)lavamelon

How many pages do I have to create before creating a new page just to list all the pages I created is justified?---Lavamelon (talk) 08:35, November 24, 2016 (UTC)lavamelon

Hey hi! Just wondering, how do you use the new pop-up citations? The ones on Monstrous Nightmare (Franchise) don't work, but those on other pages wdo work. But on Night Fury, the references all work, apart from Reference 2. Do you have to like manually insert them into every page or something? But then again I don't see any special templates whatsoever. And my references seem to be correct and consistent, so the ability for it to pop-up shouldn't change. GAH this confuses me.. --- The Woolly Howl 15:37, November 24, 2016 (UTC)

Hey! I've created two templates, one for the Books, and one for the Media of the Franchise. Do you think the heading is too jarring against the logo? --- The Woolly Howl 15:38, November 26, 2016 (UTC)

Why is "film" uncapitalized in How to Train Your Dragon (film), but "Book" is capitalized in How to Train Your Dragon (Book)?---Lavamelon (talk) 19:04, November 26, 2016 (UTC)lavamelon

Can you add a gallery part to the Template:Series Infobox? Also, umm... I'm pretty sure renaming pages doesn't create red links. I've renamed several pages and saw that links to those pages on other pages didn't create red links. An example of this would be in Book of Dragons (Short).---Lavamelon (talk) 02:43, November 27, 2016 (UTC)lavamelon

Hey! I've changed the template heading to a lighter colour, intead of #222222, I changed it to #555555. Do you think it's aright? I don't really want to stray away from our current 'theme' of navboxes. Also, I for the logos, I'm not very sure what's going on because I already centeralised the file, but it still isn't exactly in the middle. --- The Woolly Howl 02:52, November 27, 2016 (UTC)

Hey! I was thinking about this, instead of having that colour gradient for the header of out navboxes, should we use the texture for the edit, publish add a new page etc. buttons? I think it would look pretty cool, and matches the look of our pages. I think this most icons would look relatively okay against it too. --- The Woolly Howl 10:37, November 27, 2016 (UTC)

Two things I was thinking: one, can you create a template for points of interests on the Isle of Berk, kinda like this Template:Barbaricisarchlands. I noticed that there are a lot of locations in that template that aren't actual islands, but instead locations on Berk. Two, why is it that I can't seem to add any of the categories I create to any pages, such as: Category:Northern Wanderers.---Lavamelon (talk) 00:10, November 28, 2016 (UTC)lavamelon

Hey! Yeah, I can totally understand, I'm a visual learner too. I can try to create it, but do you mind giving me the link/file name of the texture for the button? --- The Woolly Howl 01:12, November 28, 2016 (UTC)

I'll help you distinguish between what's an island and what's a point of interest. Can't you design like the template I linked in the last message, Template:Barbaricisarchlands. Also thanks for the category help!---Lavamelon (talk) 01:27, November 28, 2016 (UTC)lavamelon

I'm telling you, all the categories I create are just REFUSING to be added to any pages. I tried adding Category:Northern Wanderers to Eggingarde by copy and pasting the name, but it just wouldn't work. I did this in both VisualEditor and ClassicEditor numerous times.---Lavamelon (talk) 01:39, November 28, 2016 (UTC)lavamelon

It just wouldn't work. I couldn't hit "Add Category" or add it in ClassicEditor.---Lavamelon (talk) 02:04, November 28, 2016 (UTC)lavamelon

Hey! So I've came out with a rough example of the template over here. But for this particurlar one, I've got trouble coding the margins and the collapse/expand button for the main header. --- The Woolly Howl 04:24, November 28, 2016 (UTC)

Thanks! So are we using it on this wikia? I still think it's best to figure out the margins and the exand button. --- The Woolly Howl 05:02, November 28, 2016 (UTC)

Hey! This wikia doesn't really have a template for disambiguation, and most articles with smilar names or content just have 'This is the page for { – }, you may be loooking for { – }' on top.

I just had to undo a couple edits by CC-1990, where he added reference links for internal references, when reference links are only meant for external references. He never listens, and even telling him not to do it he does it time and time again. I am not sure what to do about it. I am very hesitant to block him but he is repeatedly doing what we said not to do. P&#38;F fan92 (talk) 17:26, November 30, 2016 (UTC)

I like the new message that pops up in the bottom left when someone leaves a message on your wall. Only problem is that is not clickable, which is a little bit annoying. P&#38;F fan92 (talk) 02:46, December 1, 2016 (UTC)

I never thought too much about that myself, but now that it is that way, I would have to agree with your reasoning for making it say that when we get messages from another user. P&#38;F fan92 (talk)

Can we get Badges and Achievement Points?---Lavamelon (talk) 03:59, December 4, 2016 (UTC)

I have some for you. Some of them are from http://dreamworks-dragons.wikia.com/. You can have for the joing the wiki badge: "Welcome to Dragon Training!" or "There were dragons when I was a boy". For the one user page edit you can have: "My name's Hiccup." One location edit can be: "This is Berk." One edit on a dragons article can be: "First Catch Your Dragon." One hundred edits can be "Chief of Berk." Five hundred edits can be: "Becoming a Hero the Hard Way." One Thousand edits can be "King of the Wilderwest." One message on someone else's talk page can be "Dragon mail!" I'll look for more.---Lavamelon (talk) 04:52, December 4, 2016 (UTC)

For one object edit: "New Tail!" For five object edits: "Endeavor." For ten object edits: "Inferno." Twenty edits on objects: "Awesome Sword-Fighter." For contribute five days: "See you tomorrow." Five hundred edits on dragon articles: "Dragon Master." One thousand edits on dragon articles: "Dragon Whisperer." Also I think one hundred edits should be "I'm not one of them" and two hundred-fifty edits can be "Chief of Berk." Five edits should be "COME ON! IS THAT THE BEST YOU CAN DO?!"---Lavamelon (talk) 05:10, December 4, 2016 (UTC)

For fifty locations edits: "What happened here?" For one hundred locations edits: "Alpha comes to Berk." For two-hundred fifty locations edits: "land-that-does-not-exist." For five hundred locations edits: "Was it worth the archipelago in flames?" For five dragon edits: "Inside the dragon nursery." For ten dragon edits: "Welcome aboard dragon rider." For fifty edits: "Heart of a chief and the Soul of a dragon." Five hundred character edits: "A Hero is forever."---Lavamelon (talk) 05:42, December 4, 2016 (UTC)

Also the plantsvszombies calls "Achievement Points," "Sun." I was think Achievement points can be called "Sheep" on this wiki. Like you know, in a game of Dragon Racing.---Lavamelon (talk) 22:56, December 5, 2016 (UTC)

Hey Annabeth! I've noticed that a lot of wikias have 'default' userboxes, where users can directly add a template to their profile. For example, the disney wikia had a collection of userboxeshere and I've done some on my profile page. I think it would be pretty snazzy if the wikia had userboxes like this. Perhaps like some for watching the movies, merchandise owned, characters etc, basically for users to personalize their pages. --- The Woolly Howl 14:18, December 7, 2016 (UTC)

Hey, could you show me how you made the countdown on the home page? Or did someone else do that? Cause that's totally cool and I'd really like to make one for Trollhunters wiki. :}

What's the progress on the badges? Also which of these two do you prefer for external linking, the Context-link template: or the Infoicon template: ? Yes I know the templates say your name, but that's because that's the name of the page they are on.---&#91;&#91;User:Lavamelon&#124;Lavamelon&#93;&#93; (talk) 22:21, December 7, 2016 (UTC) (And yes I know my signature is all messed up,that's because I tried to create a custom one all by myself and accidently screwed it up.)

Oh, that's so cool! Do I have permission to add userboxes into that page? --- The Woolly Howl 00:46, December 8, 2016 (UTC)

That's great! So what do you mean by repeated? Also what's your stance on the external linking question I asked you? Also, that would be really great if you fixed my signature! I would be really grateful.---&#91;&#91;User:Lavamelon&#124;Lavamelon&#93;&#93; (talk) 12:20, December 8, 2016 (UTC)

I'm getting the pictures and quotes in to you now!---&#91;&#91;User:Lavamelon&#124;Lavamelon&#93;&#93; (talk) 05:28, December 9, 2016 (UTC)

Hi! What do you think about featuring articles? I know that we have featured pages on the Main page. But just to clarify, is there a difference between those on the main page, those in Category:Featured Articles and How to Train Your Dragon Wiki:Featured Articles, because the pages 'featured' arre different? It's a little confusing there. And I was wondering if the wikia should place more emphasis on featuring the articles, and perhaps highlight more pages. I think that it would be good to have a few pages to 'set a standard' for other wiki pages and a better template as our current template isn't particularly clear. Let me know what you think! --- The Woolly Howl 07:17, December 10, 2016 (UTC)

There are two pages for the Fat Consul. The first and older one: Fat Consul. The second and newer one: The Fat Consul.---&#91;&#91;User:Lavamelon&#124;Lavamelon&#93;&#93; (talk) 01:11, December 11, 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for designing me the signature! Also, I've been getting quite confused in the past few days. Can you define for me "internal reference"?--- lavamelon ( talk ) 04:21, December 17, 2016 (UTC)

Wait, so why can't we include references that link to other pages on the wiki?--- lavamelon ( talk ) 06:29, December 17, 2016 (UTC)

Wait so... all the references in say... this page Heather, shouldn't be here?--- lavamelon ( talk ) 21:04, December 17, 2016 (UTC)

Wait... what? So then what would we put in place of those references. All other wikis I've seen do this. Take a look at these pages Tony Stark and Oliver Queen--- lavamelon ( talk ) 02:26, December 18, 2016 (UTC)

Also, what is the proper way to name tribe pages? Like this, Hairy Hooligans, or like this, Berserker Tribe? I mean with the tribe name and then an "s" to signify plural, or the tribe name and then the word "Tribe."--- lavamelon ( talk ) 22:14, December 18, 2016 (UTC)

But that's confusing, the Hairy Hooligans are also called the Hairy Hooligan Tribe. And the Berserker Tribe is also called the Berserkers.--- lavamelon ( talk ) 22:35, December 18, 2016 (UTC)

Okay.--- lavamelon ( talk ) 22:42, December 18, 2016 (UTC)

Has the ban on linked italicized words been finally lifted?--- lavamelon ( talk ) 06:57, December 19, 2016 (UTC)

Huh, I've been seeeing more and more. I don't know, do you think you can lift it? What's wrong with italicized words that are blue? Oh, and references. So ALL those episode template references need to go? Why? Every other wiki does things this way. Did you look at those pages I sent you? I want to talk to you about this because I want to completely revamp the "Biography" sections on all the character articles. Also, can you delete Metacritic Media? I meant for it to be a template page, but forgot to type template. I have now made a template page--- lavamelon ( talk ) 19:41, December 19, 2016 (UTC)

I know that, but I just wanted to prove that there's nothing wrong with referencing episodes and other media pages. I brought this up because as I discussed with The Wolly Howl, I want to revamp the Biography sections. Rather than having the subheadings say the name of the media, it says something like instead of How to Train Your Dragon, it says "Ending the Dragon War." And instead of Legend of the Boneknapper Dragon, it would say, "The Hunt for the Boneknapper." Then after that, references are put referencing the media. Literally every other wiki I've been on does things this way (and I've been on a lot of wikis). I want to do this not because other wikis do it, but because I truly believe it is superior to how we currently do things. But first, I need your golden stamp of approval.--- lavamelon ( talk ) 22:51, December 19, 2016 (UTC)

Hi Annabeth! Can I get your input on my last message? Also, I know you're probably tired of doing stuff with badges, which is why I gave you two weeks without any word on them. However... I hate to say it... there's still a lot more I want to do with them. I don't want ANY of the default names and pictures. None whatsoever.--- lavamelon ( talk ) 13:24, December 21, 2016 (UTC)

Okay... but I don't like putting the name of the media in the headings of the biography section. Putting the names of relevant events and then references to the media is way better. For the badges can you start by renaming the founder badge to "Boot in the Bog"? And have the image be this ? Try to get the map part in, the words on the rigth aren't necessary.

The Founder badge is called "The Creator", I think.--- lavamelon ( talk ) 17:47, December 21, 2016 (UTC)

Can you change the leave a message on someone else's talk page badge to this?--- lavamelon ( talk ) 23:04, December 22, 2016 (UTC)

I don't have the picture of the dragon as I stole the picture from the Polish wiki, lol.--- lavamelon ( talk ) 04:48, December 23, 2016 (UTC)

What does "The XML in the uploaded file could not be parsed" mean?--- lavamelon ( talk ) 14:59, December 23, 2016 (UTC)

I tried uploading some images and I couldn't becuase of that. Oh and why exactly can't you change the talk page badge? Also, do you want to use wordbubbles on talk pages to spruce things up? Here's an example Template:Wordbubble/Lavamelon. You would still sign with the four tildes after putting it in.--- lavamelon ( talk ) 15:37, December 23, 2016 (UTC)

Hey Annabeth! Do you think that it would be a good idea to upload audio files for Dragon roars and add it to the infobox. If I'm not wrong, the Polish wikia does it and I think it's really cool. I can retrieve the roars for almost all the dragons species, so let me know what you think! --- The Woolly Howl 10:37, December 24, 2016 (UTC)

Great! But several dragons, including the Night Fury, have multiple distinct calls. The Night Fury's main roar is pretty distinct, but for the Terrible Terror, the calls, though different, vary a lot and there is no one call that it uses the more frequently. Perhaps more than one audio file? I'm nkt quite sure for that. Also, I'll probably give you a link in two days, cause I'm on a 17 hr flight home tomorrow. Sorry! --- The Woolly Howl 15:43, December 24, 2016 (UTC)

So... what do think about wordbubbles? Also, why exactly can't you use the badge image I sent you? I stole it directly from the Polish Wiki, so it should work.--- lavamelon ( talk ) 04:28, December 25, 2016 (UTC)

Yeah, I've been extremely busy too recently. Anyways, if the badge image doesn't look good, you ca change it back right?--- lavamelon ( talk ) 08:34, December 25, 2016 (UTC)

Damn, I will steal the image again. If that doesn't do the trick, just change it back.--- lavamelon ( talk ) 00:07, December 26, 2016 (UTC)

Hey Annabeth! I got a file here for Toothless' roar in HTTYD. But then again, he has his alpha roar in HTTYD 2 which is a little different, along with other sounds like purrs, growls and gurgles. The roar definitely has to stay, but I/m wondering if we show scrape the other sounds or use more than one.

Also, my friend just taught me how to create a map, and I've been working on a template for the Barabric Archipelago. It's currently incomplete, but I would appreciate if you'd check it out here. Thanks! --- The Woolly Howl 02:04, December 26, 2016 (UTC)

Does it not work? I'm not sure, cause it works fine on my device. Why don't you try going to the file's page. --- The Woolly Howl 05:17, December 26, 2016 (UTC)

All right, how's this: ?--- lavamelon ( talk ) 16:57, December 26, 2016 (UTC)

Here is a badge for 25 dragons edits,. And here is the new lukcy edit. . Also, what is the max number of edits you can get bagde for? 2,000 edits? 4,000 edits? I've seen some pretty high numbers, so 500 edits is definetly not the highest.--- lavamelon ( talk ) 17:09, December 26, 2016 (UTC)

Oh yeah, call the 25 dragon edits badge: "Flame-eaters".--- lavamelon ( talk ) 17:17, December 26, 2016 (UTC)

Also, can you rename Defunct Templates to Category:Defunct Templates?--- lavamelon ( talk ) 00:42, December 27, 2016 (UTC)

So sorry, can you rename Templates: HumanCharactersNavboxBooks to Template: HumanCharactersNavboxBooks?--- lavamelon ( talk ) 01:50, December 27, 2016 (UTC)

Hey! I'm not sure what's going, on, as the audio works on all my other devices. But if you take a look the one on the Polish wiki here, it's how the audio should go. Hopefully this one works for you. --- The Woolly Howl 02:10, December 27, 2016 (UTC)

Oh my Gods!!! Why won't the badges work?! Sigh... I don't understand. Why don't you instead of uploading new versions of the badges, just replace the badges in the code with the badges I sent you? Or is that not how it works? Do badge file names have to be Badge-#-#.png something like that?--- lavamelon ( talk ) 02:21, December 27, 2016 (UTC)

Hey Annabeth! Could you please help me? i'm not sure what's going on, but everytime I add a category to a page by scrolling down and adding it via the categpry bar, all the categories (apart from the ones I just added) disappear. And when I was adding new Navboxes for the Barbaric Archipelago pages, the categories below also vanished. I have to go into the source editor in order to add them back without deleting anything. Is this supposed to happen? Am I like doing anything wrong? It's getting a bit on my nerves and I'm worried about forgotting to add several categories back. Would appreciate if you could help me. Thanks! --- The Woolly Howl 02:24, December 27, 2016 (UTC)

Finally... I hope. I think got the answer to why all the badges I steal from the Polish Wiki are all messed up when we incorporate them. I think in the past, wikia made it so that badges were 90x90, but now they're 128x128. So I went into paint and here we go, , and. If that doesn't work... I will be one sad, sad man.--- lavamelon ( talk ) 03:14, December 27, 2016 (UTC)

Wait don't add those last ones except for the black sheep one! And, now I don't think that was the problem, just nevermind that. I got the new new new badges here: and. I am now officially done with those three badges... I think.--- lavamelon ( talk ) 03:34, December 27, 2016 (UTC)

I doubt it's an open code. But I just set my preferences to open Source Mode automatically when I edit. It seems ok now, I think. I hope it's just my account, not the pages or the wikia, if not there'll be tons of categories to fill up. Thanks! - The Woolly Howl 03:54, December 27, 2016 (UTC)

Can you seriously not get it so that the Fireworm's head is outside the badge?--- lavamelon ( talk ) 07:18, December 27, 2016 (UTC)

Hey Annabeth! Can you remove the redirects of Hookfang to Hookfang (Franchise)? As well as Berk to Isle of Berk (Franchise)? Also, Barbaric Archipelago to Barbaric Archipelago (Books)? Fixing red links isn't a problem, and by removing these redirects, you will bemaking sure they aren't typed any longer.--- lavamelon ( talk ) 17:30, December 27, 2016 (UTC)

Wow! I haven't been thinking much lately. I once again misnamed a page. Can you please rename Practices to a category page?--- lavamelon ( talk ) 17:47, December 27, 2016 (UTC)

I have to ask you something, should these templates that were created by CC-1990 be put into Category:Defunct Templates. These are the templates: Template: RoB Ep., Template: DoB Ep., and Template: RttE Ep.--- lavamelon ( talk ) 21:30, December 27, 2016 (UTC)

Also, I have to ask, do you prefer scales or gradient? I spoke to Whispering Death, and asked him to change the headings to scaly like on the Polish Wiki. He said he will, but "tonight." So because I'm such a nolstalgia guy, I created the category, Defunct Templates. So now, instead of having him change the current heading to scaly, I want him to create a new template called ScalyHeading and put Template:Heading into Defunct Templates, and have all the headings replaced with the scaly. But now the problem arises where I need all the headings on the main page, Manual of Style, and everything else changed to scaly, but the main page is locked. So what do you prefer? And can you change all the headings to scaly on the main page, or briefly unlock it so I can do it (it's VERY tedious). Also, when you look in the history of your user page, you can see the amount of messages you've gotten in the little speech bubble, are those counted by the amount of sigantures on the page or the amont of edits in the edits history? Oh yeah, don't forget to respond to my last message.--- lavamelon ( talk ) 21:58, December 27, 2016 (UTC)

And what about those reference templates, and Whispering Death hasn't created the new heading yet, so nothing I can do about that.--- lavamelon ( talk ) 04:30, December 28, 2016 (UTC)

Hey Annabeth! If you want to see the little speech bubble, go in to you PROFILE's history. Also, do you want to replace talk pages on articles with comments? I like comments way better for articles. However, I still want talk pages for users.--- lavamelon ( talk ) 23:25, December 28, 2016 (UTC)

Yes, but if comments are used, there will a lot more people talking about the subject of the page. I feel with talk pages, you have to click the little icon to go onto another page. While with comments, they're on the same page. For example, if someone asks a question on an article talk page, it probably won't be answered unless someone who REALLY likes that topic clicks on the link, while with comments, if someone who is just reading an article scrolls all the way to the bottom, the question will be answered.--- lavamelon ( talk ) 23:56, December 28, 2016 (UTC)

Oh yeah... sorry. I created it as a category, but I didn't want to get banned from creating pages, as there are a LOT pages I want to create. Anyways, I did create a category, so just delete it.--- lavamelon ( talk ) 01:58, December 29, 2016 (UTC)

Hey! Just a quick question, if we ever quote information from other wikias, do we have to add them as a reference? Or have a wikia affliation of sorts?- The Woolly Howl 02:14, December 29, 2016 (UTC)

Can you make the tabber between Outcast Lands and Outcast Island work on both pages? I saw the tabber on Baggybum the Beerbelly and Spitelout Jorgenson worked even though the pages have completely different titles, and didn't include the words "Books" and "Franchise."--- lavamelon ( talk ) 03:44, December 29, 2016 (UTC)

Hey Annabeth! Thanks for looking at the template though I didn't ask you to. I didn't really want to approach you at first since there were so many messages left recently and I didn't want you to be overwhelmed. Anyways, as you can see in Template:ROBStats, the tabber works fine at first. But the moment I put the code in, the info can't be shown, the other tabbers disappear. I've tried a few other dumb things to 'test' it, like inserting a template a userbox or Navbox, but they don't work. And the most infuriating thing? The only legitamate 'code' that works in it, is another tabber. Why on earth would I want a tabber in that tabber?! Anyways, thank you so much for taking a look at it. And like I said, I know that more people are approaching you and stuff these few days, so don't beat yourself up over this template. It's not too urgent. - The Woolly Howl 01:57, December 30, 2016 (UTC)

That's not what I meant. I mean, I want it to not look like a little badge inside a big badge, while its head is being shown. I know it can be done.--- lavamelon ( talk ) 00:58, January 1, 2017 (UTC)

Hey Annabeth! It's been a while since I've approached you about the Template:ROBStats. I still can't figure out how to include the code for the information table into the tabber.

Hey! Just a minor thing, could you please take a look at Template:BarArchMapBooks? Why there a link below that says 'Retrieved from..."? I can't find anything in the code that causes it. - The Woolly Howl 08:17, January 3, 2017 (UTC)

There are two pages for the Purple Death from the books. This one is years older and has far more content and is written better: Purple Death (Books). This one was created just last year and has far less content: Purple Death. Also, can you remove the redirects from Caliban Caves to Caliban Caves (Franchise), as well as Bloodsplit Bay and Bloodsplit Bay (Franchise) to Bloodspilt Bay (Franchise). The name is Bloodspilt Bay, not Bloodsplit Bay. Also, The Hysteric Tribe to Hysteric Tribe.--- lavamelon ( talk ) 00:54, January 6, 2017 (UTC)

In the Manual of Style Categories part, what do you mean by "If you create a category, please capitalize every word of what you titled it."? Does that mean that Category: How to Be a Pirate Dragons is correct rather than Category: How to Be a Pirate dragons? I want to know this because I'm trying to create categories for A Hero's Guide to Deadly Dragons, and I want to create one for dragons that appeared in the book, but it seems weird titling it Category: A Hero's Guide to Deadly Dragons Dragons.--- lavamelon ( talk ) 03:03, January 6, 2017 (UTC)

Hey Annabeth! Thanks for agreeing to the Headers template. Could you please add the code here (from below the section 'Telko' onwards),to the MediaWiki:Wikia.css page? When you upload it onto this wikia's css page, do make sure that it is under the 'Class' heading. It's a tad bit long, and I can't paste it here without uploading a ton of images onto this page. Sorry about that! Thanks a million!- The Woolly Howl 15:48, January 6, 2017 (UTC)

Thanks a lot! I,lol probably start on the headers tomorrow morning, cause it's really late here. Also, do I directly add the header to the main page after finishing up? Cos it isn't protected... - The Woolly Howl 15:55, January 6, 2017 (UTC)

Hi! I can't seem to be able to create the headers, and I think it has to do with the CSS page. Do you think you could unlock it for me so I can make amendments? Just for today, and I'll tell you once I'm done. - The Woolly Howl 00:07, January 7, 2017 (UTC)

Hey Annabeth! Can we use that I'm pretty sure is fanmade until DreamWorks releases an official one. I can't use the image taken form IMDb because it isn't the right size. - lavamelon  ( talk ) 00:41, January 7, 2017 (UTC)

Crap, I realized that the edit buttons are out now. Could you please change the css page by pasting the code I sent you just now? I edited that code already. I'm so sorry! But then the Header images don't turn up again and it's back to square one. Where does that icon appear in, just wondering? - The Woolly Howl 05:30, January 7, 2017 (UTC)

Also, I've just edited the main page to add the headers (which will probably disappear, i guess, when you change the css code). I have mixed feeling about the colour and theme, though. - The Woolly Howl 09:44, January 7, 2017 (UTC)

Can you rename File:47201 405964856132688 2122515518 n.jpg to Map-HTSADS 1 please?--- lavamelon ( talk ) 03:33, January 8, 2017 (UTC)

Wait, so you've seen the birthday calendar thingies? - lavamelon  ( talk ) 18:39, January 8, 2017 (UTC)

Yeah, I'm glad you like it. Can you help me change the background color though? I don't know how. Oh, and I decide which headers are used based on which I feel fit that month. Like how January, February, and March have wintery headers. - lavamelon  ( talk ) 18:48, January 8, 2017 (UTC)

Noted. So sorry for the trouble. The " problem is probably cause of loops when I use VisualEditor, but I'll take note of there. Thanks for informing me! - The Woolly Howl 23:31, January 8, 2017 (UTC)

Yup! - lavamelon  ( talk ) 01:02, January 9, 2017 (UTC)

So the actual calendar is done, but now how to make it so that people can get to it easily, and how to make it to give a Happy Birthday message on a user's talk when its their birthday. "So many questions, and not enough answers."

- HTRADS Anyways, so yeah there's that, take a look at the code here and here and here, if you figure out how to do those things, well... create the templates and I'll decorate them. - lavamelon  ( talk ) 01:37, January 9, 2017 (UTC)

Okay, so that third link I sent you is the talk page message, and the second one is the thing automatically sends a message to someone's talk page on their birthday. I was thinking of rather than having the zombie on the right, we have the illustration of Hiccup from the first page of A Hero's Guide to Deadly Dragons when he is standing on a tall cliff and the wind is blowing really fast. I can't figure out the code for the second one. - lavamelon  ( talk ) 21:49, January 9, 2017 (UTC)

Add what manually, the happy birthday talk page message? That would be very tedious, especially since more and more people will want to have their name put onto the calendar. - lavamelon  ( talk ) 22:11, January 9, 2017 (UTC)

But how will you know when it's a user's birthday? Will you check the calendar every morning? If the PvZ Wiki can figure out how send automatic messages on someone's birthday, so can we. - lavamelon  ( talk ) 22:16, January 9, 2017 (UTC)

Hi! So I've been quoting a lot of info from the Rise of Berk wiki, and I think it would be safer to include this template, Template:ROBWiki. Do you think we should use it? - The Woolly Howl 10:22, January 10, 2017 (UTC)

Wikipedia links
Hi! I just want to quickly talk about the Wikipedia links on the wiki. I know there aren't a lot of them, but there are some such as the Night Fury page. What I don't like about the link is that the link includes "on Wikipedia", which can make the sentace a bit awkward. I was wondering if you made the link like that and if you could change it a little. Thanks. Lightning the Skrill (talk) 11:11, January 10, 2017 (UTC)

Hey! Perhaps you missed out my last message on Template:ROBWiki, can I have your response on that? Thanks! - The Woolly Howl 09:28, January 11, 2017 (UTC)

Can you delete How to Steal a Dragon's Sword dragons and Oceans and Seas? - lavamelon  ( talk ) 00:35, January 13, 2017 (UTC)

Hey! Do you mind helping me renaming Category:Oceans and Seas to "Water Bodies"? I think it would be a more appropriate name if we include stuff like beaches, coves etc. Thanks! - The Woolly Howl 14:13, January 13, 2017 (UTC)

Also, I've noticed a problem with images in infoboxes recently. Take a look at this page: Isle of the Skullions. Also, can you get that tabber thing working properly. I created redirects. I don't know anything anymore. - lavamelon  ( talk ) 00:13, January 18, 2017 (UTC)

Never mind on that last redirect message. - lavamelon  ( talk ) 00:21, January 18, 2017 (UTC)

Why do you have such a huge problem with italics and quotation marks used on titles? I don't understand. Is it visually unnapealing? Nobody else seems to have the same problems. I just want to use proper and professional grammar on this wiki. Writing the title of the media and not doing anything to the words is just straight up unproffessional. That seems too casual as well. I just... don't know what to say anymore. - lavamelon  ( talk ) 02:04, January 19, 2017 (UTC)

So sorry. Anyways, thank you. - lavamelon  ( talk ) 02:29, January 19, 2017 (UTC)

Hey! So Lava and I were talking about adding a portal to the main page. What do you think about this? I'm planning to add more icons, such that there's twelve, then a link below labelled 'More' that directs them the the category. Also, yes, I know that the icon borders are different, I'll fix that soon. Do et me know what you think about it. --- The Woolly Howl 09:03, January 19, 2017 (UTC)

Sorry. Hello, Annabeth. I did not mean to move my profile. There was something called "ajax rename" and I was curious on what it was, so I clicked on it, and it moved my profile page.

Can you change all the Currently Used Infoboxes to have colons after the data thing? - lavamelon  ( talk ) 23:13, January 23, 2017 (UTC)

Hi! I just wanna bring your attention the the pages in Category:Cast and Crew. How relevant do the info there have to be about HTTYD? I personally doubt that we need to include stuff like their biography, their entire filmography portfolio and other information irrelevant to HTTYD. Cast f course, we'll be including bits of their vital information, eg date of birth, and a short background in the intro paragraph. However, I think we do need to find more info on them and their contributions to the production of the films. What do you think about this? Should we cut down and narrow the info on these pages? - The Woolly Howl 10:51, January 24, 2017 (UTC)

What happended to Template:Header16? - lavamelon  ( talk ) 21:10, January 24, 2017 (UTC)

Hello Annabeth and Percy!

I just want to say that I am from Austria so excuse me if my english is bad. I am a huge httyd fan and it is a pleasure for me to be here. I admire this wiki for its plenty of informations. I want to ask you where you get all the informations from. e.g. in the article "fire types". From where do you for example know what the Zipplebacks' gas contains.

I'd be thankful for an answer! :)

Um... weren't you going to add How to Fight a Dragon's Fury to the mobile page? Right in between Dragons: Race to the Edge, Season 4 and How to Train Your Dragon 2. - lavamelon  ( talk ) 14:38, January 27, 2017 (UTC)

It's okay, you can take your time for anything. And anyways, P&F fan already added it. - lavamelon  ( talk ) 22:19, January 27, 2017 (UTC)

It should be this one: http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/howtotrainyourdragon/images/b/b7/Valka_mountain_concept_art.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20170128143755 and I've uploaded it already. - The Woolly Howl 14:39, January 28, 2017 (UTC)

My talk page
Hey A&P, this is Toothless. Haven't been on in a while (ha, work and school... very uncool), but I noticed that my talk page has been set as a candidate for deletion. Is that correct? I'd like to keep my page if at all possible (thought I wouldn't be against cleaning it up). I looked to see if I could remove the category, but I'm having trouble. When you have the time, could you give me a little help and let me know what to do with the situation? Thanks. Toothless the Nightfury (talk) 03:37, January 30, 2017 (UTC)

Hi! I just nominated Night Fury on the How to Train Your Dragon Wiki:Feature Article Voting page. And I'm a little confused with how it goes. I think it would be slightly easier that under the Subheadings on the type of article, we create a sub-subheading with the nominated page name, and then create the sections in bold Nominated by, Reason by Nominator, then we tab by adding a ":", Support, Oppose and Comments. And anyone can write under the support and oppose section and sign off with the four tides. So it will go something like this:

Dragon Article Nominations (Subheading)

Night Fury (Sub-Subheading)

Nominated by: The Woolly Howl

Reason: Reason


 * Support:
 * Oppose:
 * Comments:

I personally think it's cleaner like that, and allows for more discussions. What do you think? - The Woolly Howl 06:54, January 31, 2017 (UTC)

Taxi Timberjack
Latley I have begun making pages for dragon characters that did not already have one on this wikia, such as Dammen's Timberjack and Dammen's Boneknapper. However, I was unsure about making a page for the Taxi Timberjack in School of Dragons. Do you think he needs a page, or is he too minor? Or is there a chance that he was Stokehead all along? Lo g o   Dra go n Cre ator      23:24, February 2, 2017 (UTC)

One thing I have noticed on pages is excessive linking. In the Infoboxes, a page should be linked on the first time it appears, in the infoboxes, and unlinked if it appears again in the infobox. For the regular page, a page should only be linked to the first time it appears and not again, the one exception that headings, such as those in relationship sections should be linked even if the name was linked prior to that. Another exception is if the page is long enough that a reminder link becomes necessary 2/3 or 3/4 of the way down the page. To determine how long a page has to be before there is a possibility of reminder links, it would be best to look at how many bytes a page is. Two examples of pages that would have to have reminder links starting 2/3 or 3/4 of the way down the page, are Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III and Astrid Hofferson. Other than that a page should be linked on a page only the first time it appears on the page, with it not being linked again on the page if it appears again. I feel that the linking has become excessive and that has to be reigned in, and has to be added to the Manual of Style. P&#38;F fan92 (talk) 03:10, February 3, 2017 (UTC)

Hi again, Annabeth and Percy!

The How to Train Your Dragon wiki was included in the now-retired Book wiki footer. A new children's literature footer has been created, and I was wondering if I could place it on the main page, since this site meets all the new requirements for inclusion.

Hey! Are you aware of the entire 'Submaripper Fiasco'? Could you please take a look at this thread? A uniamous decision still hasn't been made about the pages. So what would you rather us do? - The Woolly Howl 07:11, February 6, 2017 (UTC)

Why are so many new users not getting welcome messages? I keep seeing more and more. I don't know if I am just making this problem up or not. But just go to the community tab and click on each of the profiles of the new users and you will see what I mean. - lavamelon  ( talk ) 23:29, February 8, 2017 (UTC)

Um... okay then. But this is becoming a problem, as new users aren't getting the rules or the Manual of Style. This leads to users uploading files like this. One that image has a BS name. Two, it has on top of black bars, all the stuff like a duration bar, a play button as well as a bunch of other crap. Oh, and don't delete it, I'll crop the unnecessary parts out and upload a new version. - lavamelon  ( talk ) 04:06, February 9, 2017 (UTC)

Hi! I've just completed (well, kinda) the Portal and you can see it on the main page, I'm just waiting for the last two images from Lava. But I need a little help with this template. I can't seem to figure out what's wrong with it because on the main page, with you click either of the portal images, they direct you to the other template page. It appears that the "  " display tab doesn't work, but I've checked both the Portal template and the css page and it seems to be correct. Could you help figure me this out? - The Woolly Howl 08:15, February 10, 2017 (UTC)

No worries, I've asked for help on the Community Central and hopefully we'll get this fixed soon! - The Woolly Howl 00:06, February 11, 2017 (UTC)

What do you think of what I just did with the main page? I think it looks much better, especially the "create" thing. The headers that Woolly created can work very well as backgrounds too. - lavamelon  ( talk ) 21:33, February 11, 2017 (UTC)

Hey! As mentioned in your Discussion post, I've compiled a list of memorable quotes from the Franchise over here. There's quite a lot, but I think the more, the merrier. So do skim through them and edit them however you wish to. I've only completed those for the films, shorts and Riders of Berk so far. Hope this helps. - The Woolly Howl 09:24, February 20, 2017 (UTC)

I have been thinking about this since yesterday, and I am going to ask you about it now. I was wondering if I could create a list of kisses page. I have actually worked on it, and have what the page would be like saved in a notepad document ready to go if you approve. There are some wiki's that have a list of kisses page, and I thought since we have plenty of kisses to make a page like that make sense, and should have more over the next two seasons of RTTE and the third film, that we should have a page for list of kisses. I have included the cheek kisses in creating what the page would look like if we created it now, but did not remember to include the almost kisses. Anyway, I feel like it would be nice to have a page where we list the kisses that have happened in the franchise. HiccstridFan92 (talk) 18:38, February 28, 2017 (UTC)

Hello, I am hoping you could delete these two pages: Tripleheader Rageblast and Murderous Dragon. I'm recommending the former because there is a much more detailed page, Rageblast. Rageblasts can come with 2, 3, or 4 heads, so "Tripleheader" is misleading (despite a species "card" being labeled as such!). The latter page is something that doesn't exist in the Books, and am not sure where that information even came from. Thank you!

Hey! I've recently relook Ed at the portal and tried contacting several admins/editors regarding my trouble with the portal. But all of which are either inactive or couldn't help me. And because I've been delaying this whole portal thing, I wish to complete it asap. Do you happen to know any users from the Community a Wikia would have experience with MediaWiki pages or sliders/portals? Do you mind recommending them to me so that I can contact them? I'd appreciate it lots. This portal, ever since I saw it again, has been driving me nuts. --- The Woolly Howl 12:42, March 17, 2017 (UTC)

Importing Images from Other Wikis
Hello, hope things are going well for you!

It seems we are using quite alot of images from the ROB Wiki, or rather, will be. Thanks to ongoing efforts of Woolly Howl, she is getting our Wiki updated with ROB info, especially concerning all the searcheable islands in that game. I think it was also her who has added ROB reference templates and templates for game play info. The pictures we need to accompany these edits are the exact same as the ROB Wiki already has. We can download and then upload their pics to our Wiki. However, this seems redundant and time-consuming, and honestly, I personally feel a little like 'cheating' (only if ROB hasn't given their permission - yes I know Wiki pics are for common use, but ...).

Anyway, it seems there is a way to use their images without having to down/up load theirs. There is a fandom help page here:

http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Shared_images

Long story short - is this something we can do between our Wiki and the ROB Wiki? If so, it sounds like something you would have to arrange. I'm not sure I quite understand it, and certainly don't have the authority to do so.

Thank you!

Hey it's me, just wanted to tell you that Bellanightfury is still uploading photos with black lines, I tried messaging her last time, and she hasn't replied since then. Also I'm having an issue, when I look at a photo, I view the full image. But when I try to go back by hitting the back arrow on my iPad, it takes me to the Fandom App. Probably because the label for it is on the top of the page on the wiki for me. Is there any way to fix that? --NightFuryFan (talk) 22:36, March 20, 2017 (UTC)NightFuryFan

Hi Annabeth,I want to talk to you when you have the time on /discordapp.com thanksHope Lowis (talk) 18:08, March 22, 2017 (UTC)

i thank yur help

Hey! Just a quick question. I noticed a few images from the comics and books, and I just wanted to check how strict we are on the piracy issue. I know many wikis have strict bans against images unless the words are blanked out due to copyright and piracy issues, unless revealed publicly in a sneak peek from an official source. So, what policies do you think should be implanted on the Wiki and are there any measures to be taken? --- The Woolly Howl 05:59, March 25, 2017 (UTC)

Oops. I wondered why the text looked different in those three pages. It was unintentional, but I'll be more careful in the future. 😳

A request
Dear Annabeth and Percy,

Hi there! I am from the httyd chinese wiki, I am taking part in building a httyd wiki in chinese.  I think it will be a great honor for me if you can add our link on the english wiki, the URL: http://howtotrainyourdragon.huiji.wiki/ ,  I will appreciate it if you could agree my request. Of course I have put the link of english wiki on the main page, I will also glad to add more wiki's links in other languages.

We have begun to work on it since last October, in the past 6 months the website has grown up and the templates are almost finished, we are now focus on writting the entries and upload the pictures. During the July and August the Chinese students will have a two-month-long summer vacation, at that time we can get more users. But now, we also have many work to do and it will be hard but enjoyable.

By many reasons, it is not very convenient for the most of our editors and users to edit and visit wikia, so we decided to build the wiki at another wiki farm named "Huiji wiki", which also have CC BY-SA 3.0 License, and some famous chinese wikis are on it such as "a Song of Ice and Fire" and  "the Lord of the Rings" etc. And we will also ask the permission and sign the author's name when using their works.

Sorry about my terrible poor english, becaues i am not a native english speaker :P, so if you have any question, I would glad to talk about it. Thanks for taking times!

Best wishes,

Reply about "Chinese Wiki"
Thanks for reading my request.

The interwiki link will not work if we are in different wiki farms, only if we ask stuff to change the code for us, but we will never know how they think about this...(some of the website managers said we can change them in "special:interwiki")

To add the link in the main page we can try to use this below: Chinese Wiki so it will looks like Chinese Wiki

In huiji they provide a template to build a inter-wiki-farm link such as pagename So we can offer our users the English version conveniently.

If you want to build a link to zh-wikia site, there will be no problem. But I hope you can build the link to huiji. It might be a little difficult to link EVERY pages between the two wiki farms. Or maybe using template can work but I am not sure. But I think it is unnecessary now:P.

About the two different wikis in wikia:
Actually, in Taiwan, Hongkong, people use traditional chinese, and in China mainland and maybe Singapore, people use simplified chinese, when the title"How to train your dragon" was translated into these two version of chinese, the traditional one is "驯龙记"(means "a story about training a dragon"), and the simplified one is "驯龙高手"(means "dragon training master"), both of the two names is being used between chinese-spaeking httyd fans, so here are two of chinese wikias:P, (I did not really familliar with how wiki works at that time...so I used this make a kind of "redirect" ).

After that I found many of my friends in China can't visit the wikia site, so I have to build it in another wiki farm.

(In fact, the characters and dragons names are also different, and some fans translate them by themselves and didn't follow the official translations, which is a big challenge for me to build a Chinese wiki with using only one of these different translations XD)

Mycro (talk) 23:56, March 30, 2017 (UTC)MycroftQin

So, User:MycroftQin and I were talking, and we were wondering what you'd hink about a template like this, to be placed at the top of the main page. This helps ensure that his wiki can be included and I think this is a better way to engage viewers speaking other languages, instead of having it sitting inconspicuously at the bottom of the page. What do you think? I understand if you aren't too fond of this method. Mycroft says that he doesn't mind shifting all the information to the proper Wikia site, as a last resort.

If you don't mind, I'd like to add that background, along with another, to the MediaWiki page. What angsty code names -- 'Funeral' and 'Nighmare'... /*Funeral*/ .Funeral { background: url(https://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/howtotrainyourdragon/images/6/69/HTTYD2_GalleryImage32.png/revision/latest?cb=20170105013012); border: 1px solid blue; } /*Nightmare*/ .Nightmare { background: url(https://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/howtotrainyourdragon/images/0/0b/ConceptartJws.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20150902095437); border: 1px solid blue; }

Also, I'd like to try importing some portal elements to the Wikia, as I realised that the MediaWiki pages on my testing wikia can be somewhat unresponsive and relies on some imported elements from Javascript, that this wiki already has, and I wanted to try out if the template and article links actually work. Hopefully nothing goes wrong if I don't test it out on the main page, so I'll create a sandbox extension for my userpage. Is that fine by you? I won't do anything rash (*casually sets laptop on fire*) to the wiki pages without your permission first. --- The Woolly Howl 11:27, April 6, 2017 (UTC)

Thanks! Also, do check out Template:Languages, which accompanies Template:Main Page Language, and the bottom of Night Fury. This template helps to link each article to its respective translated page on the other wiki. What do you think? --- The Woolly Howl 13:54, April 6, 2017 (UTC)

How do you add a profile picture?

Hey! Maybe my previous messages got lost somewhere in the sea of messages, but could I have your green (or red) light for the language template for specific pages and for the portal? --- The Woolly Howl 08:04, April 7, 2017 (UTC)

Thanks a million! Oh, and for the portal, can I make a request? Would you mind promoting me to the admin status for a while so that I can have access to the MediaWiki pages while the portal is being created? I think it would be easier for the both of us that way, and hopefully the Night Fury icon incident last year *shudders* won't repeat again. You can go ahead and remove the rights after I'm done. Is that fine by you? --- The Woolly Howl 14:52, April 7, 2017 (UTC)

I saw that The Woolly Howl asked for temporary admins rights so she could edit the media wiki pages. I am thinking she deserves to be an admin with all she has done, including with updating the templates, and adding the Nav boxes. She is very active and all the edits she does are very helpful for the wiki. I think she should be given admin rights and not just temporarily. I think it would be nice to have another administrator on board, particularly one that is active, such as The Woolly Howl is. HiccstridFan92 (talk) 16:34, April 7, 2017 (UTC)

Thank you so, so much for this amazing opportunity! This was really much more than I expected, haha. Looking forward to working with you guys!--- The Woolly Howl 22:33, April 7, 2017 (UTC)

Hi! I was thinking about whether we can have a request page, called 'How to Train Your Dragon Wiki Report a Fault', or something. Mainly because I realised that our pages have a lot of views, and significantly less editors, even registered ones. And some pages have users commenting mistakes below but not editing. These comments are often neglected, ignored, or simply unnoticed by the Wikia editors. As such, it is rather common to see pages with huge errors but no progress is taken, or even worse, they stay unmarked with Improvement Templates. And before I had rights to delete pages, I realised a huge number of pages marked up for deletion, but never deleted. And not to mention red links and deleted images whatsoever. And I can understand if some people are uncompelled to edit. So I think that it would be useful if we can set up a page or section linked to the main page, which allows viewers to, if they spot a mistake or wish for a certain page/file to be created, to comment in a common space. Let me know what you think! --- The Woolly Howl 02:14, April 9, 2017 (UTC)

No problem! I understand! --- The Woolly Howl 03:11, April 9, 2017 (UTC)

Everything that has happened to this wiki! I am so impressed! - lavamelon  ( talk ) 22:14, April 12, 2017 (UTC)

Hi! Just a quick question out of curiosity. Why do some pictures added to pages not show up on the Recent Wiki Activity page? For example, when the template Template:ROBStats, when added to an article, the Recent Changes page only feature a few out of the many photos that are added to it via the template. Not that it has been creating any large problems whatsoever, I was just wondering and because I've created a new signature based on a file and didn't really want it to keep showing up on the Activity Feed. 07:07, April 15, 2017 (UTC)

Sure, thanks! I'll add the URL instead of the code. Oh, and sorry about the header thing. I actually edited my message via an existing subheader added by another user, so that I didn't have to scroll all the way down when using the main edit button at the TOP of the page. Sorry about that. --- 14:28, April 15, 2017 (UTC)

Oh, alright! Sorry, just to check, if I were to leave the URL as my signature, is there a way I can link the image to my user page without adding anything or resize the image without having reupload the image? --- 23:45, April 15, 2017 (UTC)

Would this be a spam page?
Hiiiii!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi! A few questions, when does the tag 'New Editor' come off a user page? And also, what do you think about affliating with other wikis, hopefully to boost visitors? 00:11, April 19, 2017 (UTC)

Hey it's me, I just wanted to tell you the reason why I've been gone for a while. The reason is because I've got nothing focused really upload to the wiki, and I'm waiting for the next season of Race to the Edge, so that way I could post more photos daily. And also I don't know if you noticed, but Bellanightfury is still uploading photos to the wiki with black lines. However she has posted a few of them in the Toothless Race to the Edge Season 3 gallery. And I really don't know what we're gonna do about her. Before she actually started posting photos to the wiki without black lines, but eventually stopped. I'll let you decide what to do with her. --NightFuryFan (talk) 00:59, April 19, 2017 (UTC)

Huh, that's strange. Because User:Ladybrasa has had that tag for quite a while. Anyways, for affliation, perhaps the DreamWorks wikias first, or animated films? But I don't think we need to have a specific category. 01:32, April 19, 2017 (UTC)

And just to let you know, she has contributed to the wiki recently. And uploading photos is the only thing I'm good at.

ToothlesstheNightFury21 (talk) 21:54, April 21, 2017 (UTC)Hello, I have a question. Can I put my Night Fury OCon the HTTYD Fanon wiki? (ToothlesstheNIghtFury21)

Hey! Just to finish where we left off on the chat, anyways, HiccstridFan and I have been talking about the Community To-do List and we feel that it receives too little attention, even though they are the wiki's 'top priorities' right now. Hardly anyone work on it, especially because some are harder or more tedious, eg. transcripts. Right now, only a handful contribute to these pages, but progress seems a tad bit slow. But at the same time, we don't want it to seem as if we are forcing them into fulfilling a must-do list. I've seen several wikis embark on projects based on their to-do list, with a small group of editors and an appointed leader taking charge of a particular aspect. This seems to be quite productive in those wikis, as every project has at least 3 to 5 people working on it and they stay rather on-task. In addition, editors who make great contributions to the project receive badges in the form of userboxes, or are featured on the user spotlight, as such, many are encouraged to edit according to the list. However, I do think that our wiki isn't active to a point where we can harbor so many editors into working on a project. We're interested in what you have to say about this. I'm open to all suggestions, but I'm pretty set on increasing awareness and activity regarding the list. https://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/howtotrainyourdragon/images/0/04/TheWoollyHowlSig2.gif/revision/latest?cb=20170430071121 (talk)  08:57, May 3, 2017 (UTC)

Hey! HiccstridFan and I decided to try the project scheme out, and if it doesn't harbour enough support, we'll just delete the page. What's the worst that could happen? Do check How to Train Your Dragon Wiki:Projects out! And if you wish to talk more about this, I'll be on the chat from 14:00 to 14:45 of May 4 and 11.30 May 4 to 00:10 May 5 (UTC), if you're free. https://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/howtotrainyourdragon/images/0/04/TheWoollyHowlSig2.gif/revision/latest?cb=20170430071121 (talk)  11:39, May 4, 2017 (UTC)

Hi! I've created a page that listed down all the Wiki Community staff over here, so that it is easier to link pages which mention 'Staff' instead of simply a particular user right. And I think that it would be good if newer users can refer to it to see which of the Staff is in-charge of / focuses on, so they know the best person to look for when they need help. Would you mind filling in your template on that page? Under, perhaps a short introduction, what you focus on as a user with rights and what people can find you for, etc. Thanks! https://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/howtotrainyourdragon/images/0/04/TheWoollyHowlSig2.gif/revision/latest?cb=20170430071121 (talk)  22:23, May 7, 2017 (UTC)

Sure, I'll rename it! I thought that adding 'Community' in front of it would be clear enough, but oh well. https://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/howtotrainyourdragon/images/0/04/TheWoollyHowlSig2.gif/revision/latest?cb=20170430071121 (talk)  09:25, May 8, 2017 (UTC)

Hey, I've been thinking about this for a while. On second thoughts, I think that we shouldn't carry out the project system. There simply isn't enough manpower on this wiki. There's only about 10 truly active members, and there's no guarantee all will partake in these projects. But in hopes of encouraging users to use the to-do List, I was wondering if we could bring in one of the aspects of the initial project scheme--User Spotlights. I think that it would be effective if we got to select a featured user every month, who has made significant improvements to the Wiki, based on the To-do List. I feel that this gives them more freedom to edit and is less restricting. At the same time, I think it's a great way to encourage higher edit counts on articles that truly need them. What do you think about it? https://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/howtotrainyourdragon/images/0/04/TheWoollyHowlSig2.gif/revision/latest?cb=20170430071121 (talk)  14:44, May 11, 2017 (UTC)

Do you think we should remove the "Site Navigation" heading and have navboxes just plopped at the bottom of articles like every other wiki? Also, do you think we can delete the categories that are literally just media names, and show everything that appeared in them? Like I don't think Category:How to Train Your Dragon should exist. Deleting these would straighten up our categories a lot, as they're unnecessary and our wiki is constantly growing. - lavamelon  ( talk ) 22:27, May 11, 2017 (UTC)

The Site Navigation heading. You know what I'm talking about right? - lavamelon  ( talk ) 23:00, May 11, 2017 (UTC)

Take a look at this page: Toothless (Franchise). The Site Navigation heading is on virtually every page. I put it there. I made it a rule that every page with a navbox has a Site Navigation heading. Most wikis don't do this. Recently, I've been thinking it's better without. - lavamelon  ( talk ) 23:21, May 11, 2017 (UTC)

No, the navbox stays. Just the heading directly above it goes. Check the page again. - lavamelon  ( talk ) 23:30, May 11, 2017 (UTC)

Glad you agree! I'll begin the "Great Headings Purge" lol. - lavamelon  ( talk ) 23:51, May 11, 2017 (UTC)

Didn't you lift the ban on internal references a while ago? Is that still in effect? I don't know, I remember you said so on my talk page that they're okay. - lavamelon  ( talk ) 20:40, May 13, 2017 (UTC)

Yeah, I remember you said so on my talk page. - lavamelon  ( talk ) 02:23, May 14, 2017 (UTC)

Yeah, I just wanted to double check. - lavamelon  ( talk ) 03:53, May 14, 2017 (UTC)

I was thinking that a category that should be created and added to all applicable pictures is Category:candidates for renaming, since there are a lot of pictures that need renaming that are improperly named, and by having other users add that category to those pictures it will allow us, the admins, to at some point to go right to the category page and work on renaming pictures that need to be renamed. I know it will be a lot of work and that it is not our first priority on this wiki, as there are other more important things to do, but getting something in place to categorize such pictures will be helpful whenever we get to renaming pictures. HiccstridFan92 (talk) 12:00, May 14, 2017 (UTC)

I apologize if it is not appropriate to comment on other's conversations, but I'd like to note that I like HiccstridFan92's idea of a category for improperly named pics (and like he said, get around to it when ya'll can). I've attempted to organize just a few galleries and found it difficult, because there isn't any indication on some pics what media they may be from. I ended up just making an uncategorized heading on those pages. :(   I've also noticed that some pics have ridiculously long titles and are used for promoting other websites and such, which I feel is inappropriate.

I posted this on Woolly Howl's page and now I am posting it here: I was thinking specifically about categories, and categories for pages. One type of category I was thinking of doing was character categories such as. The point of a category like this is to put in on pages that relate to the character, such as their own page, the pages of their quotes, on the page of their dragon, any objects of theirs, their own galleries, and any other pages such as relationship pages and the galleries connected to them, of which Hiccup and Astrid are the only ones that have anything like that right now.The page with quotes about their relationship would be a part of that as well. As for the episode pages I know there are categories that are called "episodes focused on (Put Name of Character here)", and I was thinking since that they are there, maybe the type of categories I mentioned at the top of this message would not be put on those type of pages. I mean I don't feel like it is right to put categories such as on episode pages. One other thing about the character categories is that they could also be put on categories relating to them, like for would be added to. I feel like adding the character categories would be very helpful. I thought of this because the other wiki I have done a lot of editing on, but not too much recently has the type of category I am talking about and I really like those categories.

Thedutchsniper (talk) 13:42, May 25, 2017 (UTC)

I left this message on Woolly's talk page, and I am leaving it here too: I was thinking that we should make a page where we compile the cast and crew's birthday, an in it have it ordered by month. When trying to update a cast or crew member's age it is tough to find out who has a birthday when and remember when the birthday's are for the cast and crew. It for one would be a page that could be used to help with remembering when the cast and crew birthday's are, and to help keep on top of updating the ages. It does not need to be like the birthday list is for community members. On the other wiki I am an admin on a cast and crew birthday's list was made and was put on the main page and updated every month. I am not saying we have to do that, but I do think we need to make a cast and crew birthday list. HiccstridFan92 (talk) 23:16, May 25, 2017 (UTC)

I have a noticed a new category being added to a lot of pages the last couple of days. The category is Category:How to Train Your Dragon Franchise. The category page has not been created through. I just want to say that I think the category is redundant and unnecessary. I just want to say it adds to the big bunch of categories at the bottom of pages.

Hey, so I wish to remove my comments posted under Astrid's profile page. I tried it myself but it didn't work.

Also, is it allowed to post character hate on these profiles? I have never seen anyone post negative comments until now. I feel like discussions is a more appropiate place to discuss the character rather underneath the profile page. I'm talking about Dusk Iron's unnessecary comment on Astrid's page. I think these pages should hate free personally. --AlexaDragons (talk) 19:33, July 18, 2017 (UTC)

I have nothing against them expressing their opinion, I just thought it's not the right place to post either love or dislike comments. I always thought the comments were meant for the editors on here to communicate about the page setup and what should be changed/added next. Thinks like that. I thought the discussion app was meant for.. well.. discussions and personal opinions. None of the other character profiles have any kind of personal opionions posted underneath them. I don't know, it just makes this wikipedia less professional. Richard Hamilton mentioned visitng this wikia and finding it too fan-biased in the past. Anyway, thanks for removing my comments.

I just want to let you know about Youngtrainer. He keeps on uploading an excessive amount of images. Just look at his most recent edit on Gallery: Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III (Franchise) / How to Train Your Dragon (film). He uploaded 21 pictures from the scene with Hiccup sitting by a rock and taking a bite of fish Toothless gave him. That is way too many pictures. Out of those only a handful are needed. Youngtrainer is really bothering me with his excessive uploads of pictures, and it really needs to stop. I am considering giving him a warning about that and then blocking him for a short time if he continues uploading excessive amounts of pictures for certain scenes and dragons and the like. I can't remember when but I did leave him a message about excessive uploads on pictures, and other things to do with them, and I remember he was a bit snarky and a bit rude in his response, and I was insulted by it, but I did not let it get to me. I really hope to go through the pictures he uploaded and delete all the unnecessary pictures. I mean really not every second needs a picture for it, and with how many pictures he has uploaded it will take a long time to go through and trim down the pictures substantially. The other thing that bothered me is that he does it as I said above for specific things instead, with dragons being the main one instead of going through the entire episode and taking screenshots throughout the episodes. In one way it makes his excessive picture uploading more irritating with how he does it. I mean it is not bad to make sure there are pictures for each dragon, but the way to do that is to get screenshots for the episode itself, and then put the pictures you got for the episode in all the appropriate galleries they belong in. Anyway, with how frequently he has been uploading pictures lately I am really getting irritated by the continual uploading of excessive of amounts of images for what he specifically uploading for. It also makes looking at a gallery a bit annoying with pictures that have very small differences, all together, and in my opinion the galleries look worse when you have too many pictures from small scene. Sorry for the long message, but I have let this go on a long time and I have now been pushed to where I believe it is time to do something about it and hopefully put and end to excessive picture uploads.

Hey, just wanted to mention that there is a new editor (Morgankirk4444) who has joined today and made 26 edits to the Sand Wraith page that was unverifiable information. At least two other established editors had to undo the edits. Thanks Lady Brasa (  talk  )  22:47, August 1, 2017 (UTC)

Hey there Annabeth and Percy, I am sorry for reporting a lot of the messages from one of the discussions I started. There is a wiki rule that says spam is not allowed on the wiki, and two users had an off topic conversation on that discussion which they probably should have used discord for instead of in a discussion, which is why I reported the messages. Sorry if I may have misunderstood the rules at all and sorry if it looked like I was reporting a heap of messages for no reason. Adelaidefan8 (talk) 12:52, August 13, 2017 (UTC)

G'day, How are ya doing? I just wanted to let you know that there has been a little bit of censored swearing in the Discussions recently. There is a wiki rule saying that swearing (including censored) is not allowed on the wiki or in the discussion, so will you, as admin please go into the recent discussions, and deal with all the messages and threads that have been created that have swearing in them?

Explain about some things that happened in the talk page.
First, sorry about my bad English because there might be some mistakes of grammar and other things.

So the thing is serval hours ago I had a unpleasant talk with a user (Isabelator) in a post in the wiki talk. It seems that I really did something wrong and rude.

Although what I want to do is a self-mockery but what I did is so rude (as they said)that made people unhappy.

Then I and Isabelator talked about this in discord, I apologized sincerely, he or she is so kind and forgive me, so there is nothing matter.

At last, sorry about my behavior, I think I know the meaning of the word “horrible” and how to talk about other cultures in a international website.

Thanks for your reading.

Good day.

Hey there,

I didn't really know what to do about this situation but lately I've seen a user saying some stuff that could possibly hurt people's feelings. Their name is Isabelator. Some examples are here "The Sand Wraith is a piece of rubbish." - http://howtotrainyourdragon.wikia.com/d/p/3120688743317508356"This quiz is stupid, and only has the basic dragons. ''The dragon that best suits me is the Scauldron. I did a quiz that actually had more dragons. More ranges." - http://howtotrainyourdragon.wikia.com/d/p/3120688743317508220and this one on one of my posts that kinda hurt me because I care about it,"Maybe. Idk. Idc." ''<span style="color:rgb(58,58,58);font-size:13px;">http://howtotrainyourdragon.wikia.com/d/p/3120688743317508361  <span style="color:rgb(58,58,58);font-size:13px;">On the last one I didn't really know how she meant it so I asked but I am still pretty upset. I don't know if I'm beings ensitive because I can be a pretty soft egg but I just wante dto look out for otehrs. I didn't intervine because I didn't want to cause drama. I know your really busy but if you could just take a look and tell me what you think that would be great. No need to rush though. ~ Duska and Moonstar

Hi! SO sorry for the trouble. I have revert all my edits on MediaWiki:Chat.css back to its original, but the side rails are still empty in the chatroom. I'm assuming that you designed the chatroom, so perhaps you could take a look at it?

Hi Annabeth and Percy

I noticed that you messaged Woolly Howl about the Chatroom being buggy. That is a side effect of the css I suggested to Woolly Howl about making the logo a higher definition. The flaw is that it doesn't work on the Chat because it has a seperate CSS page. So I suggested a fix which I haven't been able to test on my own Septimus Heap Wiki since it has no chat and the other admin who has now left hated the old chat - Unfortunately the code I suggested for the logo didn't work but the chat is probably a mess if Woolly used css for the background. Since the code I suggested didn't work for the Chat's logo. I'm suspicious that Chat.css is either buggy or has restrictions...

Hope that helps

Hello! I hav recently revised the mainpage and to kick start the Snoggletog season, especially since we haven't had one in a while, I think we should have a new featured page. I have reserved a space for it in the main column already. However, the previous rounds of voting were rather unsuccessful. As such, I think that we should try blog posts. So far, most blog posts regarding wiki changes have been very active, eg. those categorised under Site News as well as our Dragon Fight Club matches. If we have a blog post monthly, officially announcing the start of every voting session, I believe that we should we able to receive more responses. What do you think? https://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/howtotrainyourdragon/images/0/04/TheWoollyHowlSig2.gif/revision/latest?cb=20170430071121 (talk)  02:44, November 30, 2017 (UTC)

Hey, I don't really use the Discussion section of the Wikia, but I have seen and commented on a few posts recently. User Sean Aguila has been posting images that have been stolen from elsewhere and claiming they are new dragons for RTTE Season 6. He has not commented on previous posts pointing out that it is stolen artwork, and has posted more. Is there something that can be done? Of the pics I know who the artist is, I have notified her. However, we aren't sure what else to do.

The pics which I know the artist are:

 Tauriel of Mirkwood ( talk ) 04:42, December 11, 2017 (UTC)

Hello! Are you free anytime to chat about this month's featured user? Also, do you think we should involve the content mods in this discussion? I feel that Httyd big fan and AlexaDragons have been very active and work with other users a lot, thus would give great insight on who to feature. Furthermore, you seem more busy these days. I'm also won't be as active until net month and having more users to discuss with HiccstridFan would be great.https://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/howtotrainyourdragon/images/0/04/TheWoollyHowlSig2.gif/revision/latest?cb=20170430071121 (talk)  05:15, December 13, 2017 (UTC)

Glad your back! Anyways, HiccstridFan and I were talking on the chat today and we have decided on a few things that I hope we can get your opinion on. Do let me know what you think! Thanks! https://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/howtotrainyourdragon/images/0/04/TheWoollyHowlSig2.gif/revision/latest?cb=20170430071121 (talk)  13:11, December 15, 2017 (UTC)
 * 1) HiccstridFan and I have decided to choose the monthly User Spotlights n the first instead of the fifteenth. I don't even know what state of mind I was in to pick 15.
 * 2) As mentioned a while ago, we wanted to involve the content mods on deciding on the User Spotlight. The both of us wish to start this for the next round of user featuring, which will take place slightly before 1 January. We won't start unless we get the green light from you.
 * 3) Lastly, as Httyd big fan mentioned, the other content mods and admins have decided on featuring articles ourselves. I was hoping that if you agreed with (2), we could have monthly staff discussions before the first of every month to talk about featuring users and articles. This will make it much easier for a larger group of people to discuss, instead of how us three admins used to have separate conversations on User Spotlights and have to constantly relay messages to each other. Granted we may not be able to find a time that fits all of us but we can easily notify the rest now that we have more than 3 people.

Should we involve User:Whispering Death and User:Toothless the Nightfury? Or would you like me to ask then first? https://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/howtotrainyourdragon/images/0/04/TheWoollyHowlSig2.gif/revision/latest?cb=20170430071121 (talk)  23:43, December 15, 2017 (UTC)

Sure thing. Would you like to initiate and organise the monthly discussions. I find it only fitting for you, as a bcrat, to lead us in the mo thly discussions. That’s if you’re free, of course.

Hi!

Sorry to bother you, but you seem to know a lot about wikis. I want to implement a countdown like the one on the main page on the Edge Chronicles Wiki. I found this template you apparently made. I have no idea of CSS or anything, but I know some HTML stuff. I wanted to ask if
 * we could just steal this template and use it the Edge Chronicles wiki
 * we would need to ask staff to enable java-script on the wiki to use the template
 * we need to change something else on the wiki

If you have any objections or I am asking for too much, then don't worry. Thanks a lot!

Due to recent issues on the Discussion Boards and my having to report a post and/or contact a member of staff for assistance, I'd like to offer my services as a Discussions Moderator, if accepted. I have experience admining pages and a group on FB, and can be firm when needed. I know I don't always talk much here, but I do check into the wiki (and discussions) multiple times a day. I'm hoping I can just help keep an eye on things and hopefully get the discussions back to civilized order. Thank you for the opportunity to make this request.

Hi, since your talk page is really hard to read, I'd suggest archiving part of it. Thanks. Cheetawolfnitrotyper (talk) 18:03, February 8, 2018 (UTC)

As of yesterday, Youngtrainer is back at adding excessive amounts of pictures, doing what we told him not to do. I don't know what to do, but it is obvious that he is not going to listen. I am concerned because the new season is one week away and I don't want excessive pictures from all of the episodes for the new season, also the final season. I don't have time to deal with deleting excessive pictures right now, but once I get the chance I will, but having more excessive pictures to delete is not helpful.

On another note, thanks for the birthday wish, and for putting the fact that it was my birthday yesterday in the notifications, as well as creating a discussions post stating the fact as well. HiccstridFan92 (talk) 14:55, February 9, 2018 (UTC)


 * You're an administrator, so what you should do is to block that user for for a temporary period of time.you wouldn't really need consensus to do this. ∼∼∼∼

Sorry for the late reply. About Dublyn's promotion, I don't mind. Though I haven't been online for quite a while, based on past experiences, she has been really mature and sensible on the Discussions. So sorry I haven't been active for the past month(s). School has been a total train wreck and I've been sorted into a class full of geniuses so I need the time to get my act together. I don't see myself returning till the June break. As for the background, I was supposed to change it around mid-Feb but unfortunately, I really don't think I have the time to do so. If you wish to do so, please change it back to the original one. I was planning on changing the background to this--the changes revolve primarily around the toolbar, navbar and page background, and if you have the time you can conduct a poll for the community about it and start working on it, etc. It's really up to your own discretion about what you wish to do to the background and layout. If you don't have the time, I can always delay this revamp till June. Once again, really sorry for leaving you, the other staff and the community hanging. It is really irresponsible, on my part, but I really do not have the time to work on the community as of now. I might drop by a few times over the course of the next few months. Good luck with running the wiki.

So, I know about the problem with Youngtrainer and I talked to him and he said that he will not upload that many images, but he would like to take care of the images from the new season (by that I think he meant that he would like to upload most of the images, since he's not very good at editing other things). He also said that he would like to collaborate with others who are willing to talk to him.

Hi Annabeth. There are two users on here who are behaving like trolls at the moment. They keep undoing my edits and making multiple edits at once so it's difficult to revert them. Would you mind taking a look at this, thanks. --  AlexaDragons   ( talk ) 09:45, February 14, 2018 (UTC)

It's mainly Blu100-Jewel100. I'm not sure what SprattieGaming's intentions were but he certainly wasn't helping the matter. --  AlexaDragons   ( talk ) 13:28, February 14, 2018 (UTC)

Hi Annabeth,

I'm writing to ask if you know why pictures in Discussions keep disappearing. It's happened at least 4 times in the last week and it appears to happen randomly, but it seems to most often happen after I move the post to a more appropriate category (usually Fanon or Spoilers). Seems implausible that the OPs keep deleting them themselves. Is there a trick to prevent this that I haven't learned yet?

Also, if you haven't seen her posts already, this user says she's a friend of the abusive user from a few weeks ago who was blocked for causing all sorts of ruckus in Discussions and blog posts, and keeps trying to pass on "messages" from him. She's been bullying Httyd big fan on her talk page and causing more problems in Discussions. Thankfully lately I've been online shortly after she starts something so I've managed to keep on top of the situation so far, but you might want to take a look.

Thanks Annabeth!

User to Ban?
Hi Annabeth and Percy,

It appears that User:Hope Lowis claims to have their birthday on May 22, 2006. If COPPA rules applies here (being at least 13), you should probably block the user until May 22, 2019 for breaking COPPA and admitting to be underage. 

Thank you. Cheetawolfnitrotyper (talk) 13:31, February 21, 2018 (UTC)

Edit request on Media-wiki:Wiki Navigation on February 21, 2018
Sorry if I'm spamming you, but...

On the Media-Wiki:Wiki navigation, one of the links links to Windwalker (books). However, the actual page is at Windwalker (Books), so that should be changed. Cheetawolfnitrotyper (talk) 17:25, February 21, 2018 (UTC)

Deletion Review
Since you don't think that the page 1st Chief of Berk is necessary, we could start a deletion review for it. Cheetawolfnitrotyper (talk) 17:50, February 22, 2018 (UTC)

Excessive Uploads
Hi Annabeth and Percy,

There is a problem on this wiki with excessive picture uploads. The entire conversation can be found here. I suggest that you go check it out. Thanks. Cheetawolfnitrotyper (talk) 14:33, February 23, 2018 (UTC)

Edits to the How to Train Your Dragon Wiki:User Right Groups page
Hi, I have been making changes to the page linked above. I do think that the moderators section should be merged into one table, with an extra column stating what their moderator role is. It doesn't seem necessary to have a ton of one-column tables.

Also, I added explanations to some of the areas on the page. Cheetawolfnitrotyper (talk) 17:57, February 23, 2018 (UTC)

Hi! About the featured articles I first talked with Woolly since it was her idea in the first place and she agreed that we should change them at the beginning of every season (spring, summer, autumn, winter). Are you okay with that? If so, since March is only a few days away, what pages should we feature? I was thinking that the featured other should be Dragons: Race to the Edge, Season 6.

 Tauriel of Mirkwood ( talk )  13:02, February 25, 2018 (UTC)

So, Alexa suggested the Dramillion or Bewilderbeast for the featured dragon and Viggo or Johann for the featured character. I was thinking that the Dramillion and Viggo would be the better choices. What do you think?

 Tauriel of Mirkwood ( talk )  16:39, February 25, 2018 (UTC)

Is this a bug?
Whenever I'm on Discussions, and I hover over the "Explore" menu, the "Videos" category appears to be removed. Cheetawolfnitrotyper (talk) 13:25, February 26, 2018 (UTC)

Also, will there be a way to categorize featured articles? Cheetawolfnitrotyper (talk) 13:38, February 26, 2018 (UTC)

What I meant was that the featured articles should be "featured" on the main page. This is an example of a featured article column on another wiki:

http://fliplinestudios.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Featured_Column

And then that template gets put on the right side of the main page. Cheetawolfnitrotyper (talk) 17:39, February 26, 2018 (UTC)

Also, why, do we have to have the entire infobox (with blank data), when it isn't very useful? It appears in the Manual of Style. Thanks. Cheetawolfnitrotyper (talk) 21:05, February 26, 2018 (UTC)

No, I am referring to infoboxes in general. Cheetawolfnitrotyper (talk) 04:01, February 27, 2018 (UTC)

Eruptodon
Hi Annabeth and Percy,

If you have watch 'out of the frying pan' then you will notice that there is a painting of a Past eruptodon and its egg in the eruptodon egg chamber. I have looked at it and I am convinced that this might be the mother of the old great protector and the egg is the old great protector, possibly the statue of the eruptodon is of this dragon, can I create a page on her? Or would if just be a theoretical page?

Could this be the old eruptodon when she was an egg? Because Mala says we have been waiting generations for our great protector to have an heir and we no she has had that position for 40 years and that probably puts her age at around 50. And for Vikings because they had children at around 15 means that she would have been born about 4 or 5 generations ago. Mala also saints that years ago the tribal elders used to sacrafise themselves for the good of the tribe. So actually my theiory isn't that bad. What do you think?

Batch Delete
HiccstridFan92 explained on my talk page that he uses this tool called “Batch Delete” to delete a ton of files at once. I might need it for my wiki, because that wiki gets frequent spam attacks, if you look at our deletion log. So, I was just wondering how I could enable it for my use. Thanks. Cheetawolfnitrotyper (talk) 03:44, March 3, 2018 (UTC)

For some reason, I can't seem to find the Media-wiki page that would allow me to create messages like the one here on the bottom right:

Best Annabeth and Percy, A few days ago I posted a edit of The Screaming Death. When I wanted to view the comments, I saw that my photo was deleted. I want to know what was rong with the picture or just why the picture needed to be deleted. I have respect for every reason but I wanne know so I don't make the mistake again. I hope you send me back, Flightmare32.

Hi Annabeth,

I've been trying to communicate with User:Loannoah about speaking English but my efforts are being ignored. We had a Spanish speaker a while back whom I got through to and started using an app to translate. He's been able to get involved because of that. I was hoping this case would have a similar result, but doesn't look like it will. I best leave it in your hands at this point.

--🍀 Dublyn~ (  talk  ) 11:10, March 30, 2018 (UTC)

Apologies for bothering you again, but concerning the user I wrote to you about a few hours ago, I just noticed they have two accounts on top of refusing to speak English. Their other one is User:Loannoa.

--🍀 Dublyn~ (  talk  ) 16:06, March 30, 2018 (UTC)

Because they both showed up at the same time, and both have been posting and commenting exclusively in French (most of which I deleted). And after I deleted one of the posts, they tried again under the second user name, and reposted it word for word. Aside from the one letter difference, they look identical. I didn't even notice there were two accounts at first. I can tell it's the same person behind both.

I believe this page needs editing because it states that station7 is an admin but he isn't (anymore) http://howtotrainyourdragon.wikia.com/wiki/How_to_Train_Your_Dragon_Wiki:Administrators and I don't have the rights to edit it--Dragonnewt (talk) 18:38, April 12, 2018 (UTC)

This user is making counterproductive edits and reverts, renaming pages to gibberish, and asking another user for their password. Needless to say their user name is also inappropriate. At further investigation, the user they're attempting to intimidate is a bureaucrat of another Wiki, from which the abuser has been blocked.

--🍀 Dublyn~ (  talk  ) 21:14, April 22, 2018 (UTC)

Hi again, Annabeth, HiccstridFan took care of the abusive user, so you can disregard the above. 😊

Very briefly, may I humbly ask for Rollback rights? Having such would have made dealing with this abusive user's edits much easier, and will make the next issue much easier to handle. HiccstridFan told me that he approves, and to pass his approval on to you.

Thank you.

Hi Annabeth,

After the issues last night, there appears to be a misunderstanding, and the wrong "HiccstridFan" was given a global block. I've already contacted Fandom Staff about the mistake, but I'm not sure if I contacted them correctly, much less if they'll take me seriously. We may need your help to get our other admin back online.

--🍀 Dublyn~ (  talk  ) 17:38, April 24, 2018 (UTC)

Hey, I have a few things I need to talk to you about, and I think it would be best to talk about them in chat. I am available anytime this afternoon and evening to talk on chat. HiccstridFan92 (talk) 18:09, April 29, 2018 (UTC)

Hi Annabeth, I would like to request to be a Content Mod. I often have to ask others to do things like delete images or pages, and it'd be simpler if I could just do it myself. Also, it would be helpful to have a 'title' when asking other users to follow rules or something of a 'policing' nature. Thirdly, it might be helpful to have the Rollback rights, as sometimes I am on when others are not to quickly take care of any vandalism. If you don't think Content Mod is a good idea, then maybe just the Rollback rights? Please let me know what you think.

Thanks! Lady Brasa (  talk  )  23:30, April 29, 2018 (UTC)

Hi, is it possible if you could semi-protect my user talk page? I don't get a lot of relevant messages anyways, and I am getting sick of being notified that I have a new message on my talk page when it turns out it is either just some spam post or a troll asking for my password (that's deleted, but I still get notified of it). Thoughts? Cheetawolfnitrotyper (talk) 12:29, April 30, 2018 (UTC)

Thank you so much!

Lady Brasa (  talk  )  23:59, April 30, 2018 (UTC)

What I meant was the autoconfirmed protection level, so that new users cannot edit it (or message me, as I described in my last post). Anyways, you don't have to do it now if you don't want to, because I contact vstf of the recent troll situation here, and they globally blocked the accounts (and most likely the IP addresses as well).

Hello I’ve found this page http://howtotrainyourdragon.wikia.com/wiki/How_to_Train_Your_Dragon_3 made by http://howtotrainyourdragon.wikia.com/wiki/User:Cevdet_efdal_coban and it’s useless

When I messaged you about the page it said it was created 20 mins ago--Dragonnewt (talk) 15:41, May 10, 2018 (UTC)

The person who created it, created it today, but because they did not make it a blog and named it the same as a page that was there before, before it was renamed, all the comments from that page were included on that page. That person was trying to make a blog, but created a page in the main namespace. I have moved those pages to blogs before, since the person was trying to create a blog, and did not know how to. The best is to just move the page to the proper namespace, or even just delete it. HiccstridFan92 (talk) 15:59, May 10, 2018 (UTC)

I deleted said page, and then tried something with the page that had been there before, renaming it back to it, and then renaming it back to the current title. It did not work to move the comments to that page. I guess those comments are now just lost to having that page gone. I might look into it further. But as I said before, that page was someone wanting to create a blog but instead creating a main space page, using the title of a page that had been on the wiki, before that page was renamed, and of course by doing so, that brought all the comments that had been on the page back with it. HiccstridFan92 (talk) 16:14, May 10, 2018 (UTC)

I just figured out what happened and what should have done when moving the page. When the page was moved the person neglected to check the move subpages of the talk page, which would have moved the comments. I am going to try something, and will require me to recreate the How to Train Your Dragon 3 page, delete How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World page, and move the recreated page there, and then delete it, and then restore everything together, and hopefully restore all the comments as well. HiccstridFan92 (talk) 16:22, May 10, 2018 (UTC)

I decided against trying to do what I said I would try to do. I don't think it is worth the time to merge the comments from one page with the comments on the currently used page. HiccstridFan92 (talk) 16:34, May 10, 2018 (UTC)

The troll has returned, so whichever of you is first available to block him.

I was just thinking about the third film and what to do when the third film comes out in other countries in the month before it is released in the US. The spoiler template Woolly Howl made looks nice, but simply does not work, I believe in having a template at the top so people know the article has spoilers, without having to scroll down to see that, which one would have to do with Woolly's tempate. Also, I think creating a spoiler button that hides the information, like this one from a wiki I go to but don't edit on, should be done as well. I think it is a neat idea, to hide spoilers for something being released elsewhere first, and thus allowing someone to have the choice to look at the spoilers if they want, and prevent those from seeing spoilers they don't want to see, that will come when it is released in February in a country outside the US. This wiki is technically, the US wiki, and uses US airdates when it comes to the release dates of episodes and films. In my opinion, while the template Woolly created is fine, it really is not the best thing to use, as hiding spoilers is better than putting something above and below where the spoilers are, plus the spoilers can be throughout multiple sections, including the trivia section, where not all the information in it will necessarily be spoilers. This is my idea about handling spoilers, and I will conduct a vote about the best way to handle spoilers, and see what the opinion is on my idea, because it is important with a proposed change like this to conduct a vote, to see what people think about this idea. I am bringing this up now, as we prepare for more information about the third film to be released, ahead of the third film's release, early nest year. HiccstridFan92 (talk) 03:25, May 23, 2018 (UTC)

Featured Articles - Summer 2018
Hi! As you know, we are only a few days away from the beginning of summer, meaning that a new set of Featured Articles needs to be discussed. Last week I was cleaning up Heather's page, so, if I may, I suggest her as the Featured Character, considering that she is a very popular character in the Httyd Fandom. However, I have been a little more busy than usual and I haven't thiught about the Featured Dragon and Featured Other. Do you have any ideas?

 Tauriel of Mirkwood ( talk )  09:26, May 27, 2018 (UTC)

Well, meanwhile, Ladybrasa suggested a book dragon and we're between the Doomfang and the Common or Garden Dragon (Books). And for the Featured Other, Dublin suggested Cressida Cowell. And everyone agreed with Heather the Featured Character.

Hi! There is a petition going on about new season of Dragons race to the Edge. If you haven't signed it yet please do so in the following link:

https://www.change.org/p/dreamworks-tv-show-after-how-to-train-your-dragon-2-and-before-how-to-train-your-dragon-3

Httyd big fan told me that you can give her admin rights now even though she will be inactive for the next week, with being really inactive the next couple of days. Also, she is going to change her username, so she wants you to wait to give her admin rights until she has had her username changed. Also, she told me that the inactive admin Toothless the Nightfury said that he did not need to be an admin anymore, and she asked me to ask you to remove the rights from that user, and from the user Whispering Death, who has been inactive, and I remember you said that they were only supposed to temporarily be an admin because they were doing something that required admin rights. HiccstridFan92 (talk) 01:35, June 5, 2018 (UTC)

Also, as most of these pages are incredibly lengthy, I have noted a major inconsistency with linking. A recap: the current policy in the Manual of Style is to link only the first mention of article name, unless the page is really long, then links should appear once more around the 3/4 mark of the page. However, I have noticed a few problems. Also, it might be tedious for users who want to add new information to check through the entire page, which explains why there is so much inconsistency.
 * 1) Some captions have links, others do not. Are image captions considered 'part of the article'?
 * 2) Templates like Quotes and ROB/SOD templates are a confusing bit. Should links appear here too?
 * 3) Lengthy pages are quite subjective, exactly how long must the article be to have reminder links?

Hence, I would like to propose this: Do let me know what you think about this. --https://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/howtotrainyourdragon/images/0/04/TheWoollyHowlSig2.gif/revision/latest?cb=20170430071121 (talk)  14:28, June 10, 2018 (UTC)
 * 1) First mentions of an article under every main section, those denoted by == should be linked. This does not include sub-sections.
 * 2) Quotes and captions should never be linked, regardless of whether links have appeared in the article body.
 * 3) First mentions in data templates, so things like the ROB/SOD templates, should always be linked, regardless of whether links have appeared previously in the section or article.

The video you just shared
Dublyn found it first and discussed it with Hiccstridfan92, and that's when I found out about it. This user started to get aggressive over Rescue Riders speculations a few months back and I eventually asked Hiccstridfan92 to delete page until DWA officially confirmed the show, which they still have not done yet. He agreed to do that. Because Dublyn locked a particular thread on the Discussion Boards to avoid further arguements, this user got angry and decided to make a video about the whole thing to ridicule us. Both Dublyn and I agreed to not give this any more attention. I'm not sure why it is being posted here now. --  AlexaDragons   ( talk ) 17:23, June 11, 2018 (UTC)

Hi Annabeth,

Following up with what Alexa just said above, the video she is referencing is actually a different one than the one you posted. However the creator of the video just posted about this new "news" two days ago. The creator of the video has been very confrontational in the past with both Alexa and myself. She's been on my radar for a while, and it might be best to not encourage her by sharing her videos here.

--🍀 Dublyn~ (  talk  ) 17:42, June 11, 2018 (UTC)

Hi Annabeth,

There's two videos in question here. The first; which she made a few months ago after fighting with Alexa, and I put a stop to it and left her a message on her talk page explaining why her behavior was inappropriate; was the one where she talked about both of us in a degrading manner. She said we could stop her from talking on the wiki and discussions, but we can't stop her from making a video on YouTube about the situation. She also "threatened" to create a second wiki account if she were banned. If you want to see it, you can still find it easily on her YouTube channel, as it has Alexa's name right there in the title. As for how I found it, I stumbled upon it by chance really. I do a web search for any news regarding HTTYD daily, and the day after the events on the Wiki happened, that video popped up in my search results. I recognized Alexa's name right away and immediately knew what it was about. I was surprised to see she also talked about me.

The second video; the one she created a few days ago which you posted in Discussions; I assume is just speculation and theorizing about Rescue Riders being confirmed and about Hiccup, Astrid, and the other core characters being a part of it. I'll admit I haven't watched it so I don't know for sure what all she says. Which leads to the subject on wether she's still active here: yes she is. She created a post only a few days ago discussing the same topic which the video that you posted did. I also see her comment on posts now and then. I really must admit that most of the time she's well behaved. It was just that one time a few months back that was unacceptable. As for the authenticity of the "breaking news" regarding Rescue Riders, I actually tweeted in response to the tweet in question asking for some clarity, but unfortunately never got a response. So I saw the tweet myself, and know it doesn't really confirm anything that we didn't already know; that being that Rescue Riders is real and in production as we speak.

Apologies for the long message, I'm just attempting to shed some light on this situation since you were unaware of it. As Alexa said, I did tell HiccstridFan all about it in further detail a few months back.

--🍀 Dublyn~ (  talk  ) 09:08, June 12, 2018 (UTC)

As Dublyn explained above ^^, this user is still active on the Discussion Boards. I admit while I didn't let myself get bothered by her hateful video, her presence on the boards now makes me slightly uncomfortable and I rather avoid interacting with her again. I find her to be very unpredictable, and not just because of this one incident, so I think it's better for me to play it safe. I also agree with Dub that it's better to let this be for now, or at least for as long as she stays well behaved.

Back in July 2016, Doug Sloan tweeted about Jack Thomas leaving RTTE to run his own show. This was later confirmed by Jack in an interview with Everything Geek Podcast where he revealed that he was now two weeks into the production of a new show for DreamWorks that Netflix had put him charge of. He didn't say much about the show except that it would be aimed at a younger demographic and it would not be as dark as RTTE. He also said in that interview that he wished DreamWorks would let them do a series between the second and third movie, but as far as he knew, they were not allowed to do that. If that ever were to happen, he said it would be a continuation of Doug and Art's show and that he would not be a part of it. That interview took place in September 2016. After discovering that DreamWorks had trademarked the name 'Rescue Riders', Max from GV found an interview with Jack that confirmed his next project was an upcoming series called 'Dragons: Rescue Riders' and that it was slated for Netflix in 2019. This interview was from May, 2017. The show had by then been in production for several months. In 2018, shortly after the release of the last season, CG Supervisor Alex Brennan tweeted that their story (Netflix’s Dreamworks Dragons) was over but there was plenty more that lied ahead in the world of Dragons, which yet again gave the impression that Rescue Riders would be a different type of show. (There's also a few other tweets out there, one which gives us some vague details on what characters that could be involved but I'm not if that person is referring to RR or another future dragons related show since we know they are working on more than one project).

However, since DWA have never officially announced the show, it means they can still pull the plug on it if they want to. Jack Thomas had previously done a show called "Star Wars: Detours" which was never given an official release and it's possible the same thing could happen to any other show that's still in the production stage. This is why the status of RR is very uncertain, despite what one voice actor may claim. DWA have also trademarked other show and movie titles in the past that never saw the daylight. So all we can do right now is wait for the official word. I hope this clears up some confusion. :) --  AlexaDragons   ( talk ) 11:02, June 12, 2018 (UTC)

Httydbigfan messaged me overnight, saying she was back and was ready to be given admin rights. She didn't end up being able to change her name, due to some issue so she is keeping her name the same for now. Also, she wants her name to be colored forest green. HiccstridFan92 (talk) 13:37, June 13, 2018 (UTC)

Hi Annabeth,

It's been a busy morning in Discussions. 😒

The main thing I want to bring your attention to is this thread. If you'll remember, this user was blocked back in February for terrorizing the Discussions and bullying/intimidating Httyd big fan on her talk page and blog posts. It was because of this user that I requested the Discussions Mod position. They later had a friend create an account and post on their behalf, including many graphic fan art of mutilated/dead dragons, and when she was confronted about it, was threatening to kill herself. Do you remember all this? Well, if you'll see the Discussions thread I shared above, the blocked user has created another account and has returned. And is even claiming not to be "socking". Remembering their behavior in Discussions and blog posts months back, this concerns me. On behalf of the entire Discussions boards, I'd appreciate if you looked into this situation.

Think you.

Hi Annabeth and Percy. The user Header as keeps making weird posts that are related but have no way of generating discussion and they’ve already been told by Dublyn to watch post limit and I thought I’d bring this up with you. Sorry to bother you. 🎵 Nuttetuff (  talk  ) 🎵 10:57, July 16, 2018 (UTC)Nuttetuff
