From Master Detective Archives: RAIN CODE
Hello!
I hope I'm making a response to your original message and not a completely new thing, haha. I'm actually chanzilla369 from the RAIN CODE subreddit. Even though it took me some time, I finally joined the wiki as a member.
Anyway, I have a quick question. Even though Halara Nightmare was officially revealed yesterday, should I add how they were "teased" in the first promo art of the game (if you zoom in near the right corner, you can see their head and part of their upper body) in the trivia section or is that too minor to add? Sorry if that's a silly question. ForensicForteAnalyst (talk)
- Hello again! You did create a brand new message, but that's no issue at all - tbh, Miraheze really doesn't indicate how to use Talk pages :x (I might consider looking into explaining that!)
I think I see what you're referring to - the background of the Wiki, right? I think it's okay to add, because they were the only now recognisable main character beside Yuma and Shinigami! Ninjan (talk) 14:58, 25 February 2023 (UTC)- Oh, I didn't know that. As you can tell, I'm still trying to figure out how Miraheze works, haha. Sorry for the late reply by the way. Other things came up. Anyway, you're right in that I was referring to the background. Alright, I'll add that when I get the chance. Anyway, I have another question. I was thinking of creating a new page for the World Detective Organization, but I'm wondering what category it would be under. I was thinking of making a new category for organizations (where I can also put the Amaterasu Corporation under in), but I'm not sure if it's completely necessary at this time. Should I just make the new category for organizations or should I put the World Detective Organization under characters? ForensicForteAnalyst (talk) 20:17, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
- No pressure! And I think the WDO should be put in a new "Organizations" category (which yes, should be used for the Amaterasu Corp. later too!). It's okay if the category only contains one page for now. I don't think it makes sense to use the Characters category for the time being, since the organization should represent more in-game than just "a group of characters." Ninjan (talk) 20:46, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
- I made the new category! I'll make sure to use it for Amaterasu too when the official description comes out. You make a good point about that. Thank you for help and suggestions! I also started a new page for the World Detective Organization and started a template for organizations for the infobox, but I've been having trouble with parsing the infobox. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong with it. I'm also wondering if I should add more to the infobox. Sorry for any hassle that comes from this. (talk) 00:25, 27 February 2023 (UTC).
- Thank you for your contributions! Unfortunately, it was a bit difficult to tell what was wrong with your infobox, so since I wanted to rename it anyway (to match the singular the Character infobox uses), I remade it from scratch. Just in case, you can create infoboxes with Special:InfoboxBuilder! (You can always access it via "Special pages" in "Tools" on the left of the Wiki.)
You have nothing to worry about! Since the Wiki has few editors and content to add, this is basically stress-free for me :P The ideal time to be learning! Ninjan (talk) 19:24, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

Couple questions[edit]
Hello again! I have a couple of questions about the wiki's standards for future reference. 1) Should images have written descriptions describing their content/providing context with a link to the source under references (for example, like this page, but with more informative captions: https://raincode.miraheze.org/wiki/Desuhiko_Thunderbolt), or should sources and descriptions be included on the file page itself to leave the gallery clean? 2) How much information about a character, organization, concept, etc. is "enough" to make a stub? 3) Which promotional screenshots are worth adding? There are quite a few more available than are on the wiki, but I don't want to flood the files. Thank you! Yumaco (talk) 09:59, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
- Hi! I'm adding a random title to your message to differentiate it from former conversations, haha.
1) Ideally, images inside galleries should have a short description of what it is, contains, or where it comes from, meant for the reader. I don't have a specific set of rules for how they should be phrased, but the idea is to tell the reader what they're looking at, to some extent. If by source, you mean reference, ideally it should be included too, but if the promotional screenshot is one that is often used by Spike Chunsoft, it's not the end of the world if it's not always included (since they'll be game content anyway).
2) For the time being, I would say that as long as the character/whatever it is has an official image and an official description, it's okay to create a Stub. I'd just consider that pages with the most information are more "urgent".
3) I don't see any issue with uploading any promotional screenshot that you wish to use on a page, for the time being at least! We are definitely missing a bunch atm.
I hope this all makes sense, thank you for your contributions, I'll take a look at them all soon! Ninjan (talk) 21:12, 28 February 2023 (UTC)- Thank you so much for answering all of my questions and reviewing and correcting the pages I've edited! I'm sorry for the late reply. About question 1), yes, by source I mean a reference link to whatever official page the image was taken from. The exception for promo screenshots from the game itself make sense; I'll focus on adding references to original artwork and game assets with future uploads. The rest of your answers are clear, but I have one last question: what should we do about merchandise? On the English-speaking Danganronpa Wiki, I've seen pages that cover certain collaboration cafés, but they don't catalogue every small release because there are so many (and probably because so much of it just recycles the game sprites). Should the RC wiki only include images of merch that have original illustrations, like the ones you've added, and maybe figures? Thank you again for your time and effort maintaining the wiki.

- I'm thankful for your interest in the Wiki! Don't worry about Infobox illustrations btw, there isn't really a good way to add a reference, so long as they're clearly the main official illustration(s) for the character in question. As for merch - so far my logic is to use the images we have of merch as an opportunity to host official/new illustrations that weren't public otherwise. I don't think there's a need to put any montage of the characters' models next to each other in page galleries, since the models themselves are already on the page. (I could make an exception if a model were never made public - let's say, for example, if Yomi's model were never made available by the time the game comes out other than on one of those "montages".) If we host pages about merch or collabs, I'm definitely of the opinion that it should rather be if they introduce new official images. Ninjan (talk) 02:47, 8 March 2023 (UTC)

Moderation[edit]
Hello.
I'm just writing to let you know that I'd love to be given the moderator role, and I'd be happy to accept your invitation. Also, I typed in British English by habit, my apologies.
- And granted! Thank you. I gave you the "administrator" role, because there's little information about the moderator role, and it seems to be limited to an extension that this Wiki doesn't use. If you want to learn more about what rights this grants you, you may refer to this page. (I'm in both Bureaucrats and Administrators, while you're currently in Administrators.)
Please consider signing your messages on message walls - I wrote a tutorial here, please let me know if anything is unclear! No worries about using British English, it happens to me too and it's really not the end of the world.
You probably saw me mention that I don't plan on staying when the game comes out, which is why I'm more than happy to entrust administration/moderation rights to another active user. Since I'm used to editing Wikis and I'm the one who set up this one, feel free to ask me if you need help understanding anything. Since you now have admin rights, I can recommend creating a User page so people can click it if they need you, but there's no pressure or urgency to do that. Ninjan (talk) 14:45, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
Interlanguage links[edit]
You have my permission as a bureaucrat on the arquivosenigma Wiki to request the addition of interwiki/interlanguage links between our Wikis. DGshoe (talk) 17:46, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
