Hyrule Warriors Weapon Template
It's done. Just wait until the site loads the changes completely. By the way, are you busy at the moment? I need someone who can gather plenty of information on the clothes used for My Fairy in Hyrule Warriors Legends. If you have time to spare, would you consider doing it for the wiki? All we need are images of the various dress parts, their individual stats, and location if possible (though it's fine to focus on just the first two). I'll help with creating the table for them once the data is available. Humble Novice (talk) 03:48, April 4, 2016 (UTC)


 * That's good to hear. Let me know when you're ready to submit the data so we can set it up in the My Fairy page. Also, I definitely think we should put the fairy wear images into this category: Hyrule Warriors Wear Images. Humble Novice (talk) 04:04, April 4, 2016 (UTC)


 * I'm not opposed to that, though you'll have to run by that with Kyosei just to be sure. If it's not too much to ask, can your friend do renders of the NPC enemies and allies as well? We'll be happy to credit her for each one. Humble Novice (talk) 05:51, April 4, 2016 (UTC)


 * Sounds great! Please send her my thanks. Humble Novice (talk) 06:16, April 4, 2016 (UTC)


 * Thanks for uploading some of the fairy dress parts. I'll try to gather as much info on the remaining parts as I can in the near future. Humble Novice (talk) 03:38, April 13, 2016 (UTC)


 * Is your friend still busy doing those Hyrule Warriors models for the wiki? Humble Novice (talk) 09:19, May 19, 2016 (UTC)


 * I'll see what I can do with rearranging the weapon template once June 30 comes. In the meantime, could you perhaps find and upload images of the DLC fairy dress parts? I'll be too busy completing another project of mine for the wiki since there's so much to cover in so little time. Humble Novice (talk) 17:39, June 23, 2016 (UTC)


 * I think it's too early to reconfigure it just yet considering that the game is getting another update soon. Humble Novice (talk) 14:32, September 24, 2016 (UTC)


 * I'll try to do so at a later time. Right now, some things need my attention at the moment. Humble Novice (talk) 04:04, October 31, 2016 (UTC)

Eiketsuden
what little they have said about it at least, is a fantasy title and we're not sure if it's structured in the same way as the other games yet. Play it safe until more information is known please. Sake neko (talk) 20:06, April 6, 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm more concerned because it's not being presented in the same manner as the main games whatsoever. How do you know for certain that the screenshot doesn't relate to the free battles? Are they really affiliated with Shu or just important NPCs that you can use for free battles? We don't know yet. They haven't flashed around the usual without a doubt so-and-so affiliations yet so that's why it's wiser to wait. There's nothing wrong with where they were before because that's the truth of the matter. Sake neko (talk) 20:18, April 6, 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the sincere apology. I wasn't really expecting one at all though I do appreciate it. It's a welcome change. Sake neko (talk) 00:44, April 7, 2016 (UTC)

Hello
Can I ask you for something?AlexHoskins (talk) 13:36, May 31, 2016 (UTC)

Re: Greetings
When you have time, can you send an PNG photo in the Heroes Wiki (hero.wikia.com)? I tried to do it myself, but I couldn't because of my iPad problem. Sorry.--AlexHoskins (talk) 12:23, June 23, 2016 (UTC)


 * I don't mean to sound rude, but couldn't you do that yourself using a public computer? Pestering Ixbran won't solve the problem since he's not as active here as he used to be. Humble Novice (talk) 17:37, June 23, 2016 (UTC)

Oh, sorry, my mistake. It won't happen again.--AlexHoskins (talk) 17:39, June 26, 2016 (UTC)

My Fairy Wear Images
Yes, these images will do just fine. I'll try to organize the table as fast as I can, though it may take some time to keep it up to date. Humble Novice (talk) 12:00, September 23, 2016 (UTC)

Re:Nominated articles
I don't see the point in hyping a something that was barely announced. There's not much you can say about this game. Musou Stars is already on the main page as it is anyways. Kyosei (talk) 01:57, October 1, 2016 (UTC)
 * I still think I'd rather use the featured articles to highlight some of Koei's more obscure properties/characters. I wouldn't really consider Joan to be in that category. Kyosei (talk) 03:37, October 1, 2016 (UTC)
 * Actually nominated articles that don't cover "popular" topics get quite the boost in hits. It's more to encourage people to read about other things Koei does that they may not normally read. Something that's already popular doesn't really need it. Kyosei (talk) 12:16, October 1, 2016 (UTC)

Musou Stars Stub
There's no need to make a stub template for this title when it isn't even a proper series yet. Kyosei and I already agreed to keep different templates for popular IPs because it makes things easier for our editors. For instance, one of our least used stubs is found in 50 or more pages, enabling us to segment some of the work pile. That being said, you can't just create unique and underused templates for games you happen to like. There's no justification in doing so. Thus, it's fine to use the general template for Musou ☆ Stars-related articles. Humble Novice (talk) 18:36, October 6, 2016 (UTC)

Re: Ganondorf's Boss Costume
No it doesn't. There's way more colors, and different shades of colors in that costume than the (bright) colors that the Cuccos have. The only Zelda character who has all the colors featured on the Ganondorf Boss recolor is HW!Gohma.

First of all, Ganondorf's pants are brown. You already mentioned that Gohma is brown so you can see where I'm going with this.

Second, his skin, his upper suit, and his armor are both different shades of gray, which are all colors found on Gohma's legs, on it's shield, and on it's large metal-like claws (and those claws even shine extremely brightly with the correct lighting).

Third, his bottom cape: It's a somewhat brownish red with yellow-orange lines, much like the colors of Gohma's main body.

Fourth, Ganondorf's head and chest jewelry's red is the eye color of Gohma when it's not vulnerable to an arrow, in addition to the blood veins in it's eye. the fact that the jewelry in the middle of them is blue is a reference to how Gohma's red iris is overtaken by the blue from inside out when it's eye turns vulnerable. The blue gems on the gauntlets on the other hand is a nod to the fact that Gohma appears to have a gem of similiar color embedded into his shield.

Fifth, Ganondorf's eye color changes to a shade of blue, much like Gohma's eye color when you can hit her with an arrow. The brightness of the eyes is yet another reason as to why it's Gohma and not the Cucco being referenced because the Cuccos's eye color, while blue, is much, much darker.

Sixth, the yellow outlines on the armor is a reference to how the skin around Gohma's eye is yellow, but if looked at the back, the outline becomes orange along with the armor's gray color being more visibly pronounced, which again harkens back to Gohma's body and leg colors.

Lastly, the hair, the fur, and the chestplate symbol is white (or close to it), taken from Gohma's sclera of course.

All of the costumes in the Boss Pack are supposed to go as a set. They all complement one another as recolors of Ganon + the four normal Giant Bosses. To say that Ganondorf is supposed to be a Cucco because that would make him go in a set with Link would be hit-and-miss, especially since that would leave Zelda all alone, resulting in an incomplete set (since the ones who got the costumes was the Triforce Trio and the Sorceress Duo, the three most important mainline Zelda characters and the two most important HW-original characters).

Ganondorf's costume may look like a Cucco at first glance when you're fighting in areas with bright sunlight, but that comparison soon flies out of the window once you get to the more dimly lit stages and see colors that definitely should not be on a costume ostensibly themed after a Cucco.

Also, I cannot trust you to be objective about this. You talk as if Boss recolor!Ganondorf = Cucco has been confirmed and nothing will ever challenge that claim.

Ryu Hayabusa
Honestly, Ryu's DOA5 render is fine since the game actually uses it during intermission scenes. The updated one is merely an action pose that doesn't show much of his overall appearance. Humble Novice (talk) 07:17, December 7, 2016 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much for your understanding. Come to think of it, what do you think of the wiki's current state? To me, things have been rather slow these days since Sake's departure. I was thinking of recruiting new editors to help out with adding new content. But at the same time, I fear most of them might not live up to our standards, or worse, sow unnecessary discord. Still, having reliable members around would do wonders to this site. So what do you think? Humble Novice (talk) 07:51, December 7, 2016 (UTC)


 * Actually, I was thinking more along the lines of editors who can create new articles or add more info to existing ones. The wiki's layout is fine as it is which leaves us with only two concerns: content and activity. Nothing would make me happier than to see this site grow into something greater, yet time is not always on our side. There's also the issue of bolstering interest in new members, many of which have either lost interest due to the wiki's flaws or the rigidity of the rules. My current solution is to specifically recruit people who have the following traits: free time on their hands, a very good grasp on the English language, extensive knowledge on Koei titles, and an agreeable personality. Humble Novice (talk) 09:10, December 7, 2016 (UTC)


 * A change in design is fine and all, but the colors we currently have are actually practical and make editing easier on the eyes. The wiki's palette choice (approximately 70% white, 20% black, and 10% red) visually represent Koei best and we already have template bars to provide individuality for each game series. I know it looks bland from your point of view, but a minimalist approach is sometimes for the best. If the site had a theme changer for viewers, then it'd be a different story entirely. On another note, some of the unused features on this site have given me a couple of ideas. I'll let you and Kyosei know once I'm done ironing out the details. Humble Novice (talk) 10:09, December 7, 2016 (UTC)


 * I'm referring to some of the features this wiki hasn't been using like article comments, chat system, things that provide more interaction between editors. At the moment, I'm trying to decide which one would make a good fit here, though it's tough to weigh the pros against the cons in doing so. Humble Novice (talk) 18:38, December 7, 2016 (UTC)

Haruka Artwork
I don't understand why you replaced Hajime and Darius's clear in-game artworks with flawed scans. The previous ones show their full appearance just fine. Humble Novice (talk) 11:00, December 21, 2016 (UTC)
