This is the place to propose and discuss any amendments to the [[Brickipedia:Manual of Style|Manual of Style]] or suggest new policies. To make a new proposal, please [http://en.brickimedia.org/index.php?title=Brickipedia:Forum&amp;action=edit&amp;section=new make a new section at the bottom of the page]. Please see [[Brickipedia:Forum/Archive|the archives]] for past discussions - [[Brickipedia:Forum/Archive/2014|2014]], [[Brickipedia:Forum/Archive/2015|2015]], 2016 ([[Brickipedia:Forum/Archive/2016/1|Jan - Feb]], [[Brickipedia:Forum/Archive/2016/2|Mar - onwards]]).<br /> <br /> For recent updates to the site and any policy changes, please see [[Brickipedia:Site updates]].<br /> <br /> -----<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Changes to appearances sections==<br /> {{Archive|content=<br /> This is just something that's been bugging me for a while, but never got around to proposing.<br /> ===Appearances sections for minifigure pages with lots of variants and appearances===<br /> Appearances sections on many minifigure articles like the main Ninjago characters are getting left behind. I think part of this is because it's a long list, and there are little notes next to everything... it just looks a mess to me. I think it would be much better to group the appearances by each major variant- as it's really only new variants coming out, you can see right away what needs to be added, and it's also more useful if you want to see what set a specific variant appears in. There's an example [[Cole#Appearances|here]] (as opposed to [http://en.brickimedia.org/index.php?title=Cole&amp;oldid=1036027#Appearances here]- note that it's missing about 5 sets on the list). {{User:NovaHawk/sig}} 00:32, 29 June 2016 (UTC)<br /> :Sure. I think that it might be useful to indicate years (i.e. Trainee (2006 - 2007, 2009)) as well as variants. Even just one of those is probably a more sensible way a person will browse than by set number. I do wonder how well this would work for minifigures like Batman who have an absurd amount of one-offs and &quot;New hat!&quot; variants. [[User:Berrybrick|Berrybrick]] ([[User talk:Berrybrick|talk]]) 00:40, 29 June 2016 (UTC)<br /> :Per Berry. [[User:Edward Nigma|&lt;font color=&quot;lime&quot;&gt;LCF&lt;/font&gt;]] &lt;sup&gt;([[User talk:Edward Nigma|&lt;font color=&quot;#6600FF&quot;&gt;talk!&lt;/font&gt;]])&lt;/sup&gt; 01:15, 29 June 2016 (UTC)<br /> : You mean years in the heading (eg, DX (2011-2012))? That'd be fine with me. @Batman- that's why I said &quot;major&quot; variant- eg, Cole's ghost airjitzu is grouped with his normal airjitzu, it just has {{C|ghost}} next to it, you could do the same thing with the different-shaped cowls. I get what you mean for one-off suits, though I still think it'd be slightly better this way overall :S {{User:NovaHawk/sig}} 03:50, 29 June 2016 (UTC)<br /> :I like the new layout, but Friends has unique (throwing a random leg piece and torso together) variations for each set. So that'll look messy regardless {{User:Soupperson1/Sig}}<br /> :: Just had a look at all the variants/appearances on Emma, and yeah it'd be pretty pointless on Friends since nearly every set would have its own heading :S I don't think there needs to be a fixed rule for when to use this formatting, just more of a &quot;use when it makes sense to use it&quot;-type thing {{User:NovaHawk/sig}} 03:14, 9 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> ::: I guess it could apply to most themes par City, Creator and Friends. {{User:Soupperson1/Sig}}<br /> <br /> ===&quot;Mentions, depictions and portrayals&quot; section===<br /> I've had a problem with the appearances section ever since it came out, and wasn't sure how to fix it. Take [[Lloyd]]- his kimono suit comes as a physical minifigure in [[5002816 LEGO Ninjago: Character Encyclopedia]]. Technically, at the moment this should be listed under &quot;Book appearances&quot;, along with novels and other encyclopedia which just mention him or have a picture of him. There's no real way we have to indicate whether a minifigure actually appears or is just mentioned. I think the way to fix this might be to have a subsection of appearances just for video games, books, etc. It'd look something like:<br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> ==Appearances==<br /> * [[9443 Rattlecopter]] {{C|ZX}}<br /> * [[9457 Fangpyre Wrecking Ball]] {{C|ZX}}<br /> * [[5002816 LEGO Ninjago: Character Encyclopedia]] {{C|Kimono}}<br /> ===Gear appearances===<br /> ;Key chains<br /> * [[850442 Lloyd ZX Key Chain]]<br /> ;Clocks<br /> * Lloyd clock<br /> ===Mentions and portrayals===<br /> ;Video games<br /> * ''[[LEGO Ninjago - The Final Battle]]''<br /> ;Television<br /> * ''[[Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu]]''<br /> ** Season 1<br /> *** &quot;[[Rise of the Snakes]]&quot;<br /> ;Books<br /> * [[5002816 LEGO Ninjago: Character Encyclopedia]]<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> Note I've also got a &quot;gear appearances&quot; section for things which physically appear as Lloyd, but aren't 100% a minifigure. Also, the character encyclopedia appears twice because he both appears as a physical minifigure and is pictured/mentioned in the book. {{User:NovaHawk/sig}} 00:32, 29 June 2016 (UTC)<br /> :This makes sense, but I'm not sure about the name. I think its &quot;mentions&quot; which gets me, and then aren't portrayals and depictions the same thing? I'd just pick either of those, personally. I'm just nitpicking your brilliance though. :P [[User:Berrybrick|Berrybrick]] ([[User talk:Berrybrick|talk]]) 00:44, 29 June 2016 (UTC)<br /> ::Oh yeah, I meant to say I had no idea what to name it :D And yes, they're the same, I won't take you through the crazy process I went through to have both there :P Removed one of them, if you like the other feel free to change it {{User:NovaHawk/sig}} 00:56, 29 June 2016 (UTC)<br /> :I think that our current handling of &quot;mentions and portrayals&quot; is sufficient. Lloyd appears in the book, yes, but shouldn't it already be clear that there is a section for his physical appearances? Perhaps the &quot;appearances&quot; section should be renamed to &quot;Set appearances&quot; or &quot;Physical appearances&quot;? I believe that the problem would lie more with the generic nature of the lone word &quot;Appearances&quot;, not the other way around. [[User:Edward Nigma|&lt;font color=&quot;lime&quot;&gt;LCF&lt;/font&gt;]] &lt;sup&gt;([[User talk:Edward Nigma|&lt;font color=&quot;#6600FF&quot;&gt;talk!&lt;/font&gt;]])&lt;/sup&gt; 01:24, 29 June 2016 (UTC)<br /> :Well the book sections are bound to be incomplete :P {{User:Soupperson1/Sig}}<br /> :Looks good, organized and nice instead of jumbled up - good idea you brought up! I didn't think of this and it'll help make articles better :) @Berry: I'm fine with &quot;mentions&quot; personally - the only synonyms I could find/come up with were either too long or too complex - &quot;acknowledgements&quot;, &quot;utterances&quot;, &quot;recognitions&quot; - while &quot;mentions&quot; is short and sweet. :P Also expanding on LCF's suggestion (or maybe I'm repeating, I don't know) - I personally think this structure would be better since it's less repetitive:<br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> ==Appearances==<br /> ===Sets===<br /> ===Gears===<br /> ===Mentions &amp; portrayals===<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> The reader already recognizes the top section is about appearances, so you can just say the prefix without the &quot;appearances&quot; suffix as it's already defined.<br /> [[User:SamanthaNguyen|SamanthaNguyen]] ([[User talk:SamanthaNguyen|talk]]) 06:33, 9 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> ::It's not that I don't like the word &quot;mentions&quot; but that I'm not sure that listing where a character is mentioned in a section called &quot;appearances&quot; makes much sense. I can see that that was totally unclear though. :P [[User:Berrybrick|Berrybrick]] ([[User talk:Berrybrick|talk]]) 14:41, 9 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> }}<br /> * Anything come of this discussion? [[User:CJC95|CJC95]] ([[User talk:CJC95|talk]]) 19:54, 17 August 2016 (UTC)<br /> * Just need some clarification on the bottom section before I take this away and write it up- should we have a &quot;sets&quot; subheader as suggested by Sam or just have sets directy under appearances as is currently done? {{C|totally agree about removing the redundant &quot;appearances&quot; though, if anyone has any objection to that please say so below}} {{User:NovaHawk/sig}} 04:25, 15 September 2016 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == Reevaluating &quot;subtheme&quot; ==<br /> <br /> Also, &quot;supertheme&quot; and &quot;toyline&quot;.<br /> <br /> I am not sure in what official capacity the term &quot;subtheme&quot; has ever been used. In my experience, it has mostly shown up on fansites like Brickset and Bricklink where it is used for organization. I wouldn't be surprised to find the term in some official materials, like [[The LEGO Book]], but I would expect that that would be more so because of the of the way that fans use the word. Essentially, [[Black Falcons]] was a revamp of the [[Castle]] theme, and that's what makes it a subtheme. &quot;Black Knights is a Castle theme.&quot; Considering that the sub- prefix means &quot;beneath&quot; or &quot;under&quot;, this makes sense. Castle, in turn, would be an &quot;umbrella&quot; or &quot;supertheme&quot; which also encompasses [[Royal Knights]], [[WolfPack]], and even, though we don't seem to consider it one for some reason, [[Nexo Knights]]. Though I don't know what our current organization is, under this reasoning, City would be a &quot;subtheme&quot; of the Town &quot;supertheme&quot;. This will sometimes show up when themes which we probably would not call &quot;super&quot;, like Adventurers or Alpha Team, get rebranded as &quot;Jungle&quot; or &quot;Deep Sea&quot;. The original version of the theme (just plain Alpha Team) usually gets treated as the &quot;supertheme&quot; because it has nothing particularly special about it (Adventurers being an exception because of the clearly defined desert setting in its first year). This doesn't make much sense because, even if we haven't got a name for it, the first year of Alpha Team releases is as much of a subtheme as the second. In short, a subtheme is a variation on a theme.<br /> <br /> As far as modern themes are concerned, we don't really do this any more from what I can tell though; we don't record an Outlands subtheme for Legends of Chima or a Rebooted one for Ninjago. The only place that we see subthemes now is with licensed themes. [[The Desolation of Smaug]] being a subtheme of [[The Hobbit]] theme. This doesn't always make a ton of sense though. I've noticed recently that [[Toy Story 3]] is a subtheme of [[Toy Story]]. The equation seems to be that since the name of the first movie is the name of the franchise, then the sets based on that first movie are not sub to the franchise like the sets based on the other movie are.<br /> <br /> The third point that I wanted to address is toylines, which we usually classify by the building elements they use. I think that this is should be more about what sort of product they are delivering. For example, [[Constraction]] is a building system, not a toyline, so we would classify BIONICLE, Galidor, etc. sets as part of an Action Figures, Constraction Figures, [[Ultrabuild]], or whatever toyline. Collectable Minifigures would be one. I think that sets like [[71241 Slimer Fun Pack]] should be considered part of a Dimensions, Video Games, or Toys to Life toyline with Ghostbusters as the theme. And [[Ideas]] would be handled a similar way, I think. Probably things like the new [[BrickHeadz: Batman and The Joker|BrickHeadz]], too, and maybe Mighty Micros and MicroFighters. Ninjago spinners and Chima speedorz would be toylines. Friends and Elves would be &quot;Girlz only no boys allowed!!1!1&quot;. The question I guess is sort of how to go about this because if I would consider Ideas a toyline, then what toyline would &quot;normal&quot; sets like City and non-spinner Ninjago classify under? &quot;Classic&quot; or &quot;what it's always been&quot; I guess, unless we wanted to equate superthemes like Town, Castle, and Pirates to toylines, which might make sense.<br /> <br /> So yeah, that's my overanalysis. Accept it or not, I think that we need to question what &quot;theme&quot; means. Because right now, it seems to have less to do with a rebrand or &quot;new take on an old classic&quot; and more to do with what kind of sets are being released under the same banner. And I think that leads to some messy organization. Admittedly, it's not usually too bad, but I think that we can do a lot better.<br /> <br /> With what I am thinking this will, for example, join all [[Ghostbusters]] products from across the [[Ideas]]/[[Dimensions]]/[[Ghostbusters|Sets]] divide while still allowing it to remain part of those things.<br /> <br /> Feel free to ask questions. I understand that my thinking isn't always so easy to follow, and even if you can, there are sure to be a lot of &quot;what about thises and thatses?&quot;. I'll work on a more precise plan in the mean time. [[User:Berrybrick|Berrybrick]] ([[User talk:Berrybrick|talk]]) 16:45, 16 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> :Okay I am not exactly sure what you are proposing. We could first do what Bricklink does and sort everything under whether its a set, book, video game etc. Having that additional category may be helpful. Then each theme could include sets, video games, clothing etc.<br /> <br /> :What comes to mind is allowing sets to have more than one theme, so the Dimensions pack would be in the Dimensions and the Ghostbusters themes. It solves the problem, but it makes sorting more confusing.<br /> <br /> :Maybe we should make a new category for things which span more than one theme/system.<br /> <br /> :*[http://www.bricklink.com/catalogTreeCat.asp?catID=166 LEGO Education] (Dacta), at school a few years ago we had old TECHNIC Dacta. But looking at Bricklink, there is also Dacta which uses System, DUPLO and Jumbo Bricks.<br /> :*Not just different systems, but themes also. There are Town, Castle and Creator sets that are still Dacta.<br /> :*Dimensions and Ideas are the same. There are different themes under each of these &quot;themes&quot;.<br /> <br /> :Maybe we should stop thinking of Education/Dacta, Ideas, Brickheadz and Dimensions as themes and instead as lines, like you said. So a set can still only be part of one theme, but can also be part of one of these additional categories.<br /> <br /> :You mentioned Speedorz, I don't understand what is wrong with having those under Chima, as on the boxes they say Chima Speedorz. The Town theme is long gone now, so really I suppose City sets actually replaced the Town theme. I need to think it through more, maybe draw up some diagrams showing all the different themes.<br /> <br /> :I don't know if that reply helps much, I'm not very good at collecting my thoughts together! [[User:Lachlan|Lachlan]] ([[User talk:Lachlan|talk]]) 20:38, 16 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ::Thanks for responding. :) I'm not proposing anything yet (I need to collect my thoughts), I just wanted to get people thinking about the way we categorized based on theme and toyline. I'm glad you seem to be. :P<br /> ::*I had forgotten all about Dacta. That would be classified a toyline, at least in my thinking. That way it can encompass different themes, but those themes could still have regular products. Sort of like Ghostbusters having sets in its own theme, Ideas, and Dimensions. Does that make sense?<br /> ::*Speedorz would still be under Chima. I'm thinking that the banner on set pages which currently goes like [{System -&gt; Legends of Chima -&gt; Speedorz}] would instead be more like [{Speedorz -&gt; Legends of Chima -&gt; {subtheme}]. We could keep thinking of them as a subtheme and it wouldn't be the end of the world (especially since only Chima gets them), but I suppose my thought there comes more from thinking that we ought to do something about subtheme coming to mean &quot;special kinds of sets within regular theme&quot; rather than &quot;rebranded version of the theme&quot;.<br /> ::*On City/Town: Yeah, I'm not sure how clear I was, but the thing about Black Falcons was that that more or less replaced Castle, and then Black Falcons was in turn replaced by something else. We treat Castle, Space, and Pirates as superthemes and (almost) every new incarnation as a subtheme. By that logic, City would be a subtheme of the supertheme Town (or we could even call the supertheme City if people wanted to; though Town is more historical). Supertheming is a practice that, at least for those four themes, I like, but it has sort of started to teeter off with the way that people have started to think of subthemes.<br /> ::*I'd be happy to see what you come up with. I'm afraid that whatever we do though, it'll be a lot of work, but I think it will be worth it for a more organized site.<br /> ::[[User:Berrybrick|Berrybrick]] ([[User talk:Berrybrick|talk]]) 22:15, 16 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> <br /> *Wow.

I think we should think of DUPLO as a theme still. Most other sites, including LEGO.com, do, and we should be consistent with that. [[Special:Contributions/96.51.149.32|96.51.149.32]] 01:46, 17 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> ::::If we want to imitate LEGO then I guess I haven't got a leg to stand on, but what I'm imagining (which hasn't been fully drawn up yet, but can best be seen in [[User:Berrybrick/Theme notes|these notes]]) but considering DUPLO a theme would kind of compromise it. I guess that if there is really nothing better to put in the theme box DUPLO can go there--since that is probably what'll happen with TECHNIC anyway--but with the magic of wikilinks, it really won't be at the loss of any functionality or maneuverability. All of the articles which are linked to and from [[DUPLO]] now would be then. Searches and browsing will hardly change, and of the items which would be getting a status change, DUPLO is probably among those which will be effected the least. [[User:Berrybrick|Berrybrick]] ([[User talk:Berrybrick|talk]]) 03:08, 17 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> <br /> *I've put down [[User:Berrybrick/Theme notes|some notes]] that might help you all understand what I am thinking.

Just please make sure I see it. :P [[User:Berrybrick|Berrybrick]] ([[User talk:Berrybrick|talk]]) 23:04, 16 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> ** Well. That was long :P Not sure what to think about the toyline idea yet- &quot;toyline&quot; was intended to be what you call &quot;system&quot; in your notes when the set header was created, so this would be a whole other category. Put me down for a neutral for now, I probably need to reread it again :)<br /> ** The whole subtheme thing started because the online LEGO Shop originally used to group stuff into subthemes, eg check the sidebar [https://web.archive.org/web/20040727121429/http://shop.lego.com/product.asp?p=7124 here]. The whole Toy Story both being a supertheme for all Toy Story movies and a Toy Story 1 subtheme is probably a mistake on our part. Although for some reason I seem to remember that Cars and Toy Story used to have bars that went &quot;Cars&quot; for Cars 1 sets and &quot;Cars &gt; Cars 2&quot; for Cars 2 sets. I could be wrong though. I'm pretty certain PoTC used to have a bar that went &quot;Pirates of the Caribbean&quot; for POTC 1-3 sets and &quot;Pirates of the Caribbean &gt; Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides&quot; for the 4th though. [https://web.archive.org/web/20040720044606/http://shop.lego.com/leaf.asp?cn=30&amp;d=7&amp;t=3&amp;Type=4 Spider-Man] on the other hand did seem to group them separately- Spider-Man was one theme, Spider-Man 2 was another. So that was definitely our mistake. Now I think of it, POTC/Toy Story/Cars may have been listed the same was as Spider-Man was and we handled it badly {{User:NovaHawk/sig}} 01:23, 17 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> ***Yeah, I would have dropped that bit about sequel nesting had I thought ahead more. :P It's not a big deal. We don't have to do anything about it right now. And @Toylines, I guess that I saw the term used in a different capacity yesterday and sort of ran with it.... Anyway, thanks for the correction about where subthemes come from. I guess I just didn't expect that they would be so thoroughly added retroactively. Part of my text wall was that we don't seem to identify subthemes by the same conventions anymore, and I would sort of like to get back to that, which is why I was distinguishing toylines (and hopefully not making it more confusing by making them something new :P). I hope that makes a reread easier. :P [[User:Berrybrick|Berrybrick]] ([[User talk:Berrybrick|talk]]) 03:08, 17 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> <br /> I suppose the level of organisation we can achieve depends on whether you want to keep the theme names &quot;official&quot;. Looking at the Toy Story sets, all the boxes say Disney on them, so this is how I would organise it:<br /> *Disney &gt; Toy Story ([[:File:7590 alt1.png]])<br /> *Disney &gt; Toy Story 3 ([[:File:7789 Lotso's Dump Truck box.png]])<br /> Nowhere on the Toy Story 3 box does it imply that Toy Story 3 is a subtheme of Toy Story (although after reading the text above maybe the LEGO website did).<br /> <br /> I may be taking this a bit too seriously, but being a wiki admin for four years now makes me want to categorise everything correctly. So this is my suggestion for better organising of sets:-<br /> *'''What it is''' - Set, videogame, boardgame, t-shirt, pen etc etc.<br /> **'''System of construction''' (for the items above that include bricks) - [[System]], [[TECHNIC]], [[DUPLO]], [[QUATRO]], [[Modulex]], [[Jumbo Bricks]], [[Galidor]], [[Scala]] - '''one only per set''' (these are all different methods of construction, correct me if I'm wrong but AFAIK in every set the majority of bricks belong to one of these)<br /> *'''Theme''' - so [[Disney]] &gt; [[Toy Story]] - '''only one final theme per set''' (maybe not assigning a theme to every set might help organisation for generic DUPLO and TECHNIC sets)<br /> *'''Toyline''' (or whatever you want to call it) - [[Dacta]], [[BrickHeadz]], [[Collectable Minifigures]], [[Ideas]], [[Dimensions]] etc - Not related to theme, a set can belong to one of these as well as a theme.<br /> I know this will require a lot of work to re-categorise sets, but if we want the system to make more sense then that might be inevitable. Please consider this, I will now find some examples for this. [[User:Lachlan|Lachlan]] ([[User talk:Lachlan|talk]]) 10:43, 19 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> <br /> <br /> So, here we are. I'm going to use subheadings.<br /> ;Themes<br /> *What is a theme? Is it a general term for a grouping of thematically related sets? Sometimes we use it as such, but I think the best thing to go by is either a) what LEGO say or b) how LEGO brand it. So [[Airport]] is a no, for example. That was just made because its nice for a database to group Airplane related sets together.<br /> *&quot;So a set can still only be part of one theme,&quot; Disagree. Some sets get redefined themes midway through their existence, especially those in the &quot;box of bricks&quot; sort of category, when LEGO decides to rebrand it every couple of years, but still have the old sets to sell :P<br /> ;Subthemes<br /> *I agree that we only use subtheme because Brickset/Bricklink/etc do. Because, lets be honest, when I made pages at least, I just copied the information from them...<br /> *The issue with subthemes comes from this unofficialness. I was going to bring this months ago, but we use them as umbrella terms, like Berry says. The only reason we call those 80s Castle lines subthemes is because they are Castle based. So why not Nexo Knights? I don't know.<br /> *&quot;we don't record an Outlands subtheme for Legends of Chima or a Rebooted one for Ninjago&quot;. This is literally only because we make the pages before we know they are &quot;subthemes&quot;. If we were making them 10 years done the line we probably would :P<br /> *&quot;DUPLO and City list all their subthemes on their websites, otherwise things are in fact pretty vague for unlicensed themes.&quot; DUPLO has themes, not subthemes (although its confusing as they also have apparently themeless sets...). For what its worth, City website doesn't actually call them subthemes either.<br /> *&quot;Although for some reason I seem to remember that Cars and Toy Story used to have bars that went &quot;Cars&quot; for Cars 1 sets and &quot;Cars &gt; Cars 2&quot; for Cars 2 sets.&quot; It would say Cars for Cars 1 because Cars 1 was called Cars? :P Same with Toy Story<br /> ** Well yeah, I guess now you say it Cars &gt; Cars would look a bit weird. Guess we should have picked up on that and had &quot;Toy Story&quot; and &quot;Toy Story (subtheme)&quot; {{User:NovaHawk/sig}} 00:55, 23 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> ;Toylines<br /> *These are a historical relic here.<br /> *They were nominally to divide system based sets and duplo based sets. Even in the 90s boxes said System on them and stuff. But that doesn't mean its a linear thing. Lines are blurred. Is Architecture a system theme because its using system bricks? Or is it not because they are clearly different styles of set from the sets that used to say &quot;System&quot; on them.<br /> *Berry raises an interesting point about &quot;action figures&quot; and &quot;toys to life&quot; and stuff. I'm not sure my thoughts on it.<br /> *&quot;Okay I am not exactly sure what you are proposing. We could first do what Bricklink does and sort everything under whether its a set, book, video game etc. Having that additional category may be helpful. Then each theme could include sets, video games, clothing etc.&quot; This to an extent happens already. Its just instead of &quot;sets&quot; we are using System/DUPLO/TECHNIC/whatever for sets.<br /> *Education sets confuse things even more...<br /> <br /> ;Lachlan's idea at the bottom<br /> *The perils of writing this as I read them is that I didn't see this until I wrote all that stuff above.<br /> *Anyway, I'm interested in it. May I suggest we look at some sets (at random) to work out how they'd get classified, to ensure that this idea will work fully? <br /> <br /> [[User:CJC95|CJC95]] ([[User talk:CJC95|talk]]) 14:41, 19 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Another problem I have just noticed is that the early sets from the [[Bob the Builder]] theme are &quot;Explore&quot; sets, and the later ones are not, meaning the Bob the Builder theme actually has sets in two different themes, if that makes sense.[[User:Lachlan|Lachlan]] ([[User talk:Lachlan|talk]]) 16:08, 19 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> *According to the page, [[Explore]] was formed by merging DUPLO and Baby, and lasted two years, before it went back to being DUPLO. [[User:CJC95|CJC95]] ([[User talk:CJC95|talk]]) 16:33, 19 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Hm, how should I format this?<br /> :'''@Lachlan (post 2)''': This is very close to what I was thinking. Except &quot;What it is&quot; is what I was calling a Toyline. So my hierarchy would go like this:<br /> :*'''Toyline''' or '''What it is''' - &quot;Gear&quot; or &quot;Miscellaneous&quot; being used to lump together things like pens and T-shirts, though if we wanted those to be their own thing, I guess now would be the time to do it.<br /> ::*'''System of Construction''' - Thanks for that term; the parts it is made from, being System, TECHNIC, DUPLO, CCBS, or whatever. I should note that I don't envision this appearing on the banner because DUPLO, TECHNIC, and a lot of minor Systems are also what we could call themes or toylines.<br /> :*'''Theme'''<br /> :*'''Subtheme'''<br /> :If there is a supertheme applicable (like Castle to Black Falcons) that would be the theme, but I suppose the confusing thing is that you can get &quot;more sub&quot; and have a subtheme of a subtheme because subthemes and superthemes ''are'' themes; they are just sub- or super-. With that in mind, I don't think that there will be a problem of things being broken down too far. As an example, &quot;DUPLO &gt; Super Heroes &gt; Marvel &gt; Spider-Man&quot; (again an example; I'm not suggesting that we divvy up the Super Heroes line like that right now).<br /> :I'm not too worried about working out the subtheme nesting right now. Grouping all of the Disney sets (except Marvel and Star Wars, probably) under a Disney supertheme wouldn't be a bad idea though.<br /> :'''@CJC (14:41)''': I think we are on the same page, but you explain what is wrong with the system much more clearly than I did. Thanks.<br /> :'''@Lachlan (16:08)''': There are a couple of ways I can see to solve that using Toyline &gt; Theme &gt; Subtheme<br /> :*&lt;s&gt;We could consider Explore and Baby themes which are part of the DUPLO toyline and Bob the Builder an Explore subtheme. When the set is part of Explore, it would go &quot;DUPLO &gt; Explore &gt; Bob the Builder&quot;. When it isn't, it would go &quot;DUPLO &gt; Bob the Builder&quot;.&lt;/s&gt;<br /> :*Alternatively, we could consider Explore and Baby toylines. Then, &quot;Explore &gt; Bob the Builder&quot; or &quot;DUPLO &gt; Bob the Builder&quot; depending on the set.<br /> ::&lt;small&gt;I thought CJC was saying that DUPLO was Baby and Explore. If Explore is Baby and DUPLO, then it should be a toyline.&lt;/small&gt;<br /> :That was what I was trying to get across with the piece about Ghostbusters where right now we consider the Ideas and Dimensions sets as separate from the ones in the main theme. The idea is that different sets which are considered part of the same theme don't all need to be broken down in the same boxes to be together; they just have to fit one group, the theme, and the rest can be Venn diagrams.<br /> [[User:Berrybrick|Berrybrick]] ([[User talk:Berrybrick|talk]]) 19:25, 19 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> ::It's worth noting that (at least recently), those issues haven't been a problem on say, DC Super Heroes - The system, duplo and juniors pages all have that as a theme atm. [[User:CJC95|CJC95]] ([[User talk:CJC95|talk]]) 20:16, 19 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> :::I kind of have an issue with the Juniors pages because they consider DC a subtheme of Juniors when it isn't - at least not in the same way Black Falcons is a Castle subtheme - but the [[10545 Batcave Adventure|DUPLO]] and [[6858 Catwoman Catcycle City Chase|System]] ones are very similar to what I'm pushing for. [[User:Berrybrick|Berrybrick]] ([[User talk:Berrybrick|talk]]) 23:21, 19 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> ::Just a quick reply to Berrybrick as its getting late here, If people agree then I am happy to work on creating a Disney &quot;supertheme&quot;. That eliminates the Toy Story and Toy Story 3 problem. Although I didn't realise that Marvel was owned by Disney, and Star Wars has sub-themes itself so it could get messy. But I think it would be better personally. 21:40, 19 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> :::Would Star Wars come under Disney? If so, what about sets from before the Disney purchase? [[User:CJC95|CJC95]] ([[User talk:CJC95|talk]]) 21:46, 19 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> ::::There is already [[Disney]]. You could just turn that page into the supertheme. The history section nearly covers everything already, and I'd be happy to expand that a bit if you don't want to. I don't think that Star Wars and Marvel should be a part of it though because it's more about franchise than ownership, I think. The Disney stuff sort of crosses over with itself with things like the CMFs and Princesses (especially with Ariel in both) whilst Marvel and Star Wars stay self contained. Also, would want to include Pirates of the Caribbean, Prince of Persia, and Lone Ranger or keep it to animated stuff? And what about Disney Princesses and all of those DUPLO shows? I'd say include, though maybe group the DUPLO shows into a Disney Junior subtheme? I don't know. [[User:Berrybrick|Berrybrick]] ([[User talk:Berrybrick|talk]]) 23:21, 19 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> *Besides the TECHNIC/DUPLO thing we have now, what Brickset groups as miscelanious [http://brickset.com/browse/sets here] is ''mostly'' what I am talking about as a toyline, plus some other things like Juniors and probably most of the &quot;vintage themes&quot;, &quot;pre-school&quot;, and &quot;technical&quot;...I guess that most of the confusing stuff like Architecture, Creator, and Bulk Bricks could just stay under System. There really isn't a problem with that now. \_O_/ [[User:Berrybrick|Berrybrick]] ([[User talk:Berrybrick|talk]]) 04:27, 20 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> * I think whoever had the Toyline &gt; System of Construction &gt; Theme &gt; Subtheme is on the right track (I can't tell who's writing what in some areas). Plus it seems to be pretty much what we have but with an extra parameter so would be easier to change over. Not sure how I feel about Disney being a supertheme, I think it should be just for Disney stuff that doesn't already have a theme and stick Disney in the &quot;related themes&quot; field. Plus I like having Cars and Cars 2- that's how they were assigned officially and I think shorter lists make it easier to read. I think there was a suggestion above to scrap all subthemes- strongly against this. Firstly many of these were officially assigned, why not use them? But then there's ease of navigation to consider- say you were a casual reader looking for a Star Wars set, you didn't know what the set was called but you knew what movie it was from. Would you rather go through a list of 500+ sets in Category:Star Wars sets, but a list of 10-80 by looking at the subtheme category? @Berrybrick- I know what you mean about Juniors and Friends/DC/Marvel being treated as subthemes, that's an awkward one (I don't have any ideas on what to do) {{User:NovaHawk/sig}} 00:55, 23 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> :* Yeah, I've decided that Cars/Cars 2 doesn't really bother me. Sometimes you organize documents on a computer like that, so it's not a big deal. It might actually be confusing to do it any other way (aside from making Disney a supertheme, but I'm with you that I personally prefer that being separate, but that's only personally). I don't think there was a suggestion to scrap subthemes (aside from maybe things like [[Airport]]; CJC would have to comment on that), though I can see where you'd get that, it was more that our of idea of a subtheme has changed and become a bit inconsistent over the years and that we aren't using them to their full advantage because of it. But if I did happen to miss a petition to scrap them--again, I agree with you. I go through that process all the time. :P As for Juniors, my solution is to expand our definition of toyline to include things like Juniors because it's a ''line'' of ''toys'' that includes Friends and SH ''theme''d sets. :P So the banner would go Juniors (System) -&gt; Friends, or something like that. CJC seemed a bit iffy on that idea. I'd like your input too.

This relates to pages that are about identical minifigures but are two separate entities (ie, twins).

[[User:SamanthaNguyen|SamanthaNguyen]] ([[User talk:SamanthaNguyen|talk]]) 02:23, 21 September 2016 (UTC)<br /> * Here's my opinion, it may not make sense- I don't know why but I'm finding this strangely hard to explain :D<br /> ** I don't see why we need to make a special exception here- all our other pages done in a singular form, just because they're twins, doesn't mean they should be treated as one entity as they're still two individuals.<br /> ** There's the simple logistics of it- if the article is about two minifigures, how many should you say appear in the set? Kabuki Twins (two) could mean two groups of two. Then on the minifigure page for accessories- if you say the minifigure has two claws, does that mean two total (ie, one each) or two each?<br /> ** In the case of the Skull Twins and Kabuki Twins who don't have a backgrounds or personalities distinctly different from each other, it makes no sense to have pages like &quot;Kabuki Twin 1&quot; and &quot;Kabuki Twin 2&quot; since they'd be completely identical. Fred and George are different since they do, and also have separate video game characters as well.<br /> *** So why not use the plural on the &quot;xxx Twins&quot;? We're talking about minifigures here, not the characters, and apart from the background, the page should be &quot;out of universe&quot;. Since neither of these are Siamese twins, we're getting two separate identical copies of a single minifigure, just like we get two identical unnamed Stormtrooper minifigures or whatever so I don't see why this case needs to be treated differently.<br /> :Again, sorry if that makes absolutely no sense :P Basically, per Sam. {{User:NovaHawk/sig}} 02:30, 21 September 2016 (UTC)<br /> :Eh....<br /> :*Logistical stuff:<br /> ::*Concern about Appearance section is granted, though I don't think it is an insolvable problem.

If Batman comes with one batarang in a set but two in another, what do we do? I don't think we have to spell it out so much. Just put down &quot;Claws.&quot; Descriptors like quantity and especially color seem sort of arbitrary to me; there should be pictures (or at least links to relevant pages) which show exactly what they come with.<br /> :*&quot;Two separate identical copies of a single minifigure&quot;: I don't know if I can reply to this in any way which is meaningful because my brain goes to Platonism.... A lot of the Ninjago ghosts are the same minifigure but have different names across the sets, yet we still consider them separate even if they are functionally indistinguishable. Same thing with Fred and George.<br /> ::*Definitely agreed about the backgrounds being what would keep functionally identical twins on the same page; I'd agree to &quot;Kabuki Twin&quot; long before splitting them.<br /> :*What I think I disagree about is the philosophy behind the out of universe policy, at least here. With backgrounds it makes a lot of sense to me, but I tend to think of minifigures (at least ones with story roles) as being avatars or icons of the characters they represent, retaining a portion of that identity, and then communicating it through their design.<br /> ::*This is why, I think, we allow the Ninjago Ghosts to have their own pages and why we do not have an article for every separate variant of every minifigure (aside from practicality, of course).<br /> ::*And then, and this is what I was trying to articulate on the talk page earlier, being a Twin is ''part'' of that integral identity for the Kabuki Twins. That is an essential part of who they are. Like, I probably would say that they are &quot;one [inseparable] entity that is two individuals.&quot; Fred and George don't have that, and neither do the Stormtroopers. The Skull Twins may be a little different, for reasons noted on the article, so I could agree with the Stormtrooper analogy there, but it could probably go both ways. The Kabuki Twins are one indivisible character, but part of that character is being twofold; one personality, two bodies, perhaps.<br /> :Sorry if ''this'' makes no sense.

Keep in mind if you do go with option 2, there will be ''a lot'' of articles pointlessly linking to disambiguation pages because of what we're already established in those individual cases- think about all the pages linking to articles like [[Batman]], [[Spider-Man]], [[Harry Potter]] and [[Marvel]] to name a few off the top of my head- there are around 2000 pages linking to those four articles alone (I don't know if that's directly, but there are definitely a good portion of them that do). @Nigma: Not sure what you mean about &quot;currently mos-compliant&quot; since it's not even in the MoS. These are the I guess the &quot;current trends&quot; of what does seem to happen with names:<br /> ** Physical minifigures generally take precedence over obscure video game characters, eg, ([[Chen]] vs [[Chen (Indiana Jones)]])<br /> ** Themes generally take precedence over minifigures, eg, [[Indiana Jones]] goes to the theme, not the minifigure.<br /> *** The exception to this seems to be for minifigures which also appear in more modern themes, such as [[Batman]] and [[Spider-Man]] since they're minifigures in the current Super Heroes themes (as opposed to the links going to old discontinued themes)<br /> ** There are also cases where the page link goes to a disambig page, for example [[X-wing]] and [[Woman]], because there isn't any page going to be clearly more used.<br /> :Anyway, basically why I think option 1 is a better idea {{C|even if we did have a bot that could clean up the thousands of links if we went with the second option}} is that as far as I can see, there are two things that need to be considered here:<br /> :# '''Ease of a reader finding a page through searching''' - if someone enters &quot;Marvel&quot; into a search box, 99.5% of the time they're going to want to find out about the [[Marvel Super Heroes]] theme, not that Marvel is a comic book company. Why make them click an extra link for no reason? Even for cases like Batman, most people are going to be looking for the guy currently being sold in sets and the star of an upcoming movie, not for some discontinued theme from 10 years ago (some people searching may not have even been born when the theme came out). It's not like they can't find the other page(s) if they needed to, there should always be one of those &quot;&quot;Marvel redirects here. For other uses of the term, see Marvel (disambiguation)/For the company, see Marvel (company)&quot; type messages at the top of the page.<br /> :# '''Ease of editors being able to link to a page''' - While I think the above is much more important, even something as simple as &lt;nowiki&gt;[[Batman]] vs [[Batman (minifigure)|Batman]]&lt;/nowiki&gt; seems like an unnecessary amount of extra typing (especially if you're making multiple pages in a row).<br /> :I'm not actually sure if I'm even awake while I'm typing this, so I'm going to stop now in case it makes no sense :P {{User:NovaHawk/sig}} 04:31, 5 October 2016 (UTC)<br /> :I'll go with NovaHawk on this.

Given that the toggle to collapse/expand the sidebar already exists (for really small screens, ie. my mobile device in portrait mode, as opposed to in landscape mode), we could simply show it for all screen resolutions instead, which would then allow users to regain some precious screen space when viewing larger (=wider) pages, such as set listings. --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] ([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|talk]]) 19:58, 17 October 2016 (UTC)<br /> *** A related ticket (except for content sections @[[phab:T143511|T143511]]), although I support the idea of collapsable sidebars for all resolutions, would require some rethinking some of the header interface though, because we'll need a button somewhere on there for opening and closing the sidebar menu. As for images on mobile devices (even though I feel like all the data in ThemeTables could be displayed in a better way visually (that's for another day)) I think that we could use a media screen query(&lt;code&gt;@media screen&lt;/code&gt;) to define image sizes based on screen sizes.

At the moment we just seem to be classifying sets by what theme they're based on and making that a pseudo-subtheme of Juniors on an article-by-article basis.

I think the idea was to consider Juniors a toyline, and then things like Friends and Marvel would actually be the theme. Don't think I got much feedback on it other than &quot;I guess that would be alright,&quot; though, and it was obviously never implemented (nor did I finish figuring out how all of that ''would'' be implemented). [[User:Berrybrick|Berrybrick]] ([[User talk:Berrybrick|talk]]) 01:42, 18 October 2016 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == Guidelines on the background of comic book characters ==<br /> <br /> I've noticed, ''especially'' in the [[Batman]] article, that his &quot;background&quot; section is not only a mess, but a pool of backgrounds on several different &quot;Batmen&quot; (Earth-One, New Earth, Prime Earth). It also makes references to ''[[Wikipedia:The New Scooby-Doo Movies|Scooby-Doo Meets Batman]]''. There is no real guideline specifying what exactly should be done regarding the character, given the fact that there are so many different (major: Earth-One, New Earth, Prime Earth) variations, covered or not by LEGO media. Since [[76052 Batman Classic TV Series - Batcave]] includes the Silver Age, Earth-One (I believe) Batman, we should have a short description for that incarnation of Batman, one for the New Earth Batman, since the original Batman theme was released during its run and [[LEGO Batman: The Videogame]]'s Batcomputer facts are based around the New Earth canon, and Prime Earth due to New 52 elements being used in the [[DC Comics Super Heroes]] line and games. It would be confusing, but it is much more factual than implying that the New Earth Batman and Prime Earth [[Ace the Bathound]] teamed up with Earth-One [[Scooby-Doo|Mystery, Inc.]] to foil the Joker's plans. Or perhaps we should only have the LEGO media-only backgrounds for such characters. But regardless, a guideline ''will'' be necessary.

Anyway, here are some thoughts:<br /> :::*[[BP:NOT]]<br /> :::*I think it makes sense, in a lot of cases (i.e. Star Wars, Harry Potter, Indiana Jones, Ninjago) for characters to have ''some'' account of their character development. Comic characters are a little different though, because most of the really notable ones have very little permanent canon beyond their origin.<br /> :::*Even doing it in the context of &quot;LEGO&quot; probably won't work: We've got different Batmans between the sets, video games, DVD specials, magazines, and the cinematic movies.<br /> ::::*If we had to pick one, I'd go with video games, at least primarily. They generally give most attention to the universe, I think.<br /> ::::*Speaking of which, if the article is tremendously messy, we could split the page into &quot;Batman&quot; and &quot;Batman (The LEGO Movie).&quot; That ''might'' mean doing the same for Robin, Batgirl, Joker, Alfred, and everyone else too, but some sort of notability policy might help take care of that.<br /> :::*My thought is that, for sanity's sake, a background should explain the character's place in the larger world as far as it is stable. For Batman, that would be his origin, what he's about, relations to characters like the Robins/Batgirl/Alfred, the Justice League, Gotham City, and his Rogues Gallery. How detailed do you get though?<br /> ::::*The issue is that this probably wouldn't make for a very good read. There might be some articles or websites we could find to get an idea of how to write like that, though.<br /> ::::*And then, what do we do with the video game and movie versions? They probably shouldn't be the plot summaries that they are now; save those for the game/movie articles themselves.<br /> :::So that's what I've got for now. Might have more thoughts later. [[User:Berrybrick|Berrybrick]] ([[User talk:Berrybrick|talk]]) 21:27, 22 October 2016 (UTC)<br /> ::::By &quot;in the context of LEGO&quot;, I didn't mean the sets, as those do not have a real, larger story. I was thinking perhaps backgrounds in relation to the ''LEGO Batman'' series of games and related media, ''The LEGO Movie'' and derived media, ''The LEGO Batman Movie'', the ''LEGO Justice League'' films and related media, and ''LEGO Dimensions''. Each one of those five topics have their own version(s) of Batman that would need separate sections. Those would certainly be relevant to Brickipedia, as would be articles on the ''Dark Knight'' film series (all three films have at least one set), and the 1966 TV series, which is also directly identified as such (unlike most other sets, it's just &quot;Batman&quot; from Earth-God-Knows-What). I don't think that separating the articles per-theme would be such a great idea, though. Sure, our article on Batman has a section that is essentially the synopsis of all of the hero missions of LBTVG, but I don't think that would do very well as the plot for LBTVG either. It's already too long and detailed, and would need to be expanded further and also need to accommodate the other half of the game, 15 villain missions. That's a personal opinion, however; we don't have a guideline as to [[User:Edward Nigma/Chase McCain|how long backgrounds must be]] and I don't think that's the main focus of this discussion anyway. [[User:Edward Nigma|&lt;font color=&quot;lime&quot;&gt;LCF&lt;/font&gt;]] &lt;sup&gt;([[User talk:Edward Nigma|&lt;font color=&quot;#6600FF&quot;&gt;talk!&lt;/font&gt;]])&lt;/sup&gt; 21:52, 22 October 2016 (UTC)<br /> :::::We have an objectivity issue on some articles, perhaps in part because of the way I used to write them. Articles don't need to be drowned in detail; that just makes things that are actually informative harder to pick out and causes the page to decay. We have this problem with descriptions too. The background I suggested, though it still has issues I would like to pound out, would tell people who he is without concerning itself with differences that are really quite arbitrary in all of those cases except for maybe ''The Dark Knight'' trilogy because of the way that series' world works (but I'd just ignore it; mention what it's based on in the description, and put an external link to where they can read about that and every other version, because BP:NOT). Batman is a very fluid character; trying to pin down all of these heads (by &quot;earths&quot;) is not necessary. The only version I think needs to be covered in any considerable detail as &quot;separate&quot; from our generibat is the TLM/TLBM version(s), which is why I suggested splitting the article into &quot;Batman&quot; and &quot;Batman (The LEGO Movie)&quot;--and only those two(--though I'm not really for the idea either). As for transposing the stories to the the video game (or whatever) pages; of course it wouldn't be a copy and paste and shouldn't be that detailed, but anything on the Batman article needn't walk through every (or any?) scene. Also, though it is ''really'' just creating another head, the sets do have conflict and therefore elements of a story (albeit basic); yes, it would be chaff to write lines about that one time he saved an alien princess from an amusement park of doom, so let's not do it, but maybe it would be useful if the background could somehow explain how he knows this Joker guy whose face keeps showing up everywhere? Or how he knows these Robin and Flash people who keep showing up?

Bruce went away and trained for a while and came back as Batman. He hired Robin as his sidekick and they like to fight bad people with weird faces like the Joker.&quot; Plus maybe a small paragraph with a subheading each for the Nolanverse and DCEU universes if deemed necessary? The summary from the video games is good, but the level-by-level account belongs in video game level articles and a smaller more abridged summary would be much better here {{C|although the LB3 summary could do with a ''slight'' expansion :P}}. No real opinion on splitting TLBM Batman, I'm ok either way.

This is a bit messed up. At the time the rule came in, there was only one &quot;content namespace&quot;- the mainspace (this is why the templates in the requests say &quot;''x'' edits, ''y'' mainspace&quot;- to check that ''y''&gt;500 for admin requests). However, we now have several namespaces defined as content namespaces in the code- Brickipedia News, Fan, Inventory, Review and Part (at the time the rule was made, &quot;Part&quot; was a part of the mainspace, and the Fan namespace didn't exist- Brickimedia Customs did). So, basically just wondering if we want to re-examine which namespaces should count toward admin requests since so much has changed since the original rule was made. {{User:NovaHawk/sig}} 11:16, 27 November 2016 (UTC)<br /> * Personally, I'd be happy to just make it 500 for any namespace excluding edits in the User/User talk/User blog namespaces. It seems a bit silly to me that edits in useful places like the template namespace don't count. {{User:NovaHawk/sig}} 11:16, 27 November 2016 (UTC)<br /> :*Sure. Per Nova. [[User:Berrybrick|Berrybrick]] ([[User talk:Berrybrick|talk]]) 13:47, 27 November 2016 (UTC)<br /> :* Agreed. [[User:SamanthaNguyen|SamanthaNguyen]] ([[User talk:SamanthaNguyen|talk]]) 16:45, 27 November 2016 (UTC)<br /> * I've changed my mind (again!). &lt;s&gt;As much as I don't agree with Reviews or Fan as being considered &quot;content&quot; (I still don't), however, I'd venture to say that it would be necessary for administrators to have experience with those two namespaces.&lt;/s&gt; However, editing Brickipedia News pages is reserved only for news reporters, administrators, and others with administrative rights, so I don't think that that should have anything to do with gaining administrative rights. &lt;s&gt;It would also be nice, like Nova said, for admins-to-be to have knowledge of templates and how they work (and thus, edits in the template namespace).&lt;/s&gt; I think it's necessary to keep the edit requirements. I don't think that we could UCS on whose request is to be considered valid or not. The entire purpose of the edit requirement is to prevent that sort of business from having to happen, but primarily, to ensure that the user in question is well-versed in managing the primary function of this wiki: mainspace articles. I would not mind that we broaden the usage of the term &quot;mainspace&quot; in this context to encompass the mainspace, inventory, and part namespaces. That is the only real &quot;content&quot; on this site (sorry Reviews and Fan - you're not ''real'' content). I get it, administrators do a lot more than just edit our articles (which is definitely not what administrative rights are required for). Like others have said, yes, it ''would'' be nice to have administrators-to-be having much more knowledge about other parts of the wiki, such as participating in discussions and working with templates, etc. etc. But how would we factor any of that into the URR process? The edit requirement is something simple, something minimal that displays that the user is dedicated enough to qualify for administrator.

On the other hand, I'm against hard-coded edit count requirements, but the fact is that Brickipedia ''is'' a wiki and we need good edits for the site to thrive. One of the strengths of any admin team, but especially ours, is diversity. We have different people with different strengths and interests, and we are all united by our dedication to making Brickipedia '''the''' LEGO wiki. You know how templates work? And you've even created a few new ones on your own? Splendid! You've verified pre-existing inventories and written new ones? Wonderful! Knowledge of both is definitely a plus for any admin candidate, but the lack of edits in a namespace shouldn't necessarily be something to be held against a candidate.&lt;br /&gt;For example, on [[shoutwiki:|ShoutWiki]] we have an extension which enables &quot;sharing&quot; the [[shoutwiki:Help:Contents|help pages from ShoutWiki Hub]] to any other English-language ShoutWiki wiki which does not yet have local help pages ([[shoutwiki:w:nintendogs:Help:Contents|such as this wiki, which was just created yesterday]]). Although this analogy doesn't apply quite as well to well-estabilished, big wikis like Brickipedia, you can see why most ShoutWiki sites probably have a rather small amount of help pages, if any.&lt;br /&gt;I agree with Nova in that edits in the User* namespaces shouldn't count, but as for the rest, why not? Article edits are important, but so is discussing with other editors about potential naming conflicts and such, so most edits to various talkspaces are probably meaningful, too. --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] ([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|talk]]) 20:56, 27 November 2016 (UTC)<br /> * I mean, in many ways Template/File etc are also &quot;content&quot; namespaces. So I'd just remove the content namespace part of it to just say &quot;500 edits&quot;. Then, if they do in the unlikely chance have 493 of those in User talk/User blog, then we can just not support it...

Currently it can only support up to 12 years, just want to know if I should bother to expand the number of years it could take before going ahead with it.<br /> <br /> ;Usage<br /> Make a template like normal nav templates with colours etc, using [[Elves]] as an example (so you'd use Template:Elves sets as the name).<br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> {{SetsByYear<br /> |header-background-color = 2A576C <br /> |link = Elves<br /> |link-2 = Set<br /> |pipe-2 = sets<br /> |link-color = FFFFFF<br /> |template-name = Elves sets<br /> |year={{{1}}}<br /> |theme=Elves<br /> |2015|2016|2017}}<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> The only different thing here are the bottom three rows. Don't touch the third-last row, that's what it needs to be. Second-last row is the theme (I'll need to work on something to get stuff working for things with subthemes like Star Wars). The last row is the important one- put down each year the theme had a set released.<br /> <br /> Then, go ahead and use as normal, eg, stick &lt;nowiki&gt;{{Elves sets|2017}}&lt;/nowiki&gt; at the bottom of an article, and it'll show all Elves sets released in 2017, with tabs for other years ([[Template:Elves_sets/test2|example]]).<br /> <br /> And that's it. You literally don't have to type any sets names anywhere and stuff will automatically update. All you have to do is add an extra year to the template when it's known that sets will be released in a future year.<br /> <br /> ;Bad stuff<br /> * Only supports 12 years at the moment (easily changed)<br /> * Sometimes at the moment, sets are broken into smaller categories, eg Star Wars sets are typically broken into sections like &quot;normal sets&quot;, &quot;microfighters&quot;, &quot;planets sets&quot;, UCS sets, etc. This doesn't currently support that, and without making categories, this can't be done reliably as far as I can tell. There would be a way to do manually exclude stuff and add it to a separate section, but that would require some coding knowledge.<br /> <br /> So basically- should we use this template are not?<br /> * If we do use it, where do we want to use it? I mean, it'd be pretty pointless for themes that have only been out for one or two years, should we start after a theme's been going for 4(?) years?<br /> <br /> {{User:NovaHawk/sig}} 06:06, 16 January 2017 (UTC)<br /> :I'll try to take a look at this later.

Our site has been virtually unreadable for weeks- it got a bit better for a while, but it's back to being terrible. We have about [[User_blog:NovaHawk/Editing_spree!|200 articles]] that need shop descriptions/updated images, and there's nothing I can do about it- I've been trying to add a single shop description since January 16 and keep getting the same error nomatter what article I try to edit.

I've never heard of them, but as long as you or someone on the technical team know they're reliable I don't see a problem with switching.

I think part of this is because it's a long list, and there are little notes next to everything... it just looks a mess to me. I think it would be much better to group the appearances by each major variant- as it's really only new variants coming out, you can see right away what needs to be added, and it's also more useful if you want to see what set a specific variant appears in. There's an example [[Cole#Appearances|here]] (as opposed to [http://en.brickimedia.org/index.php?title=Cole&amp;oldid=1036027#Appearances here]- note that it's missing about 5 sets on the list). {{User:NovaHawk/sig}} 00:32, 29 June 2016 (UTC)<br /> :Sure. I think that it might be useful to indicate years (i.e. Trainee (2006 - 2007, 2009)) as well as variants. Even just one of those is probably a more sensible way a person will browse than by set number. I do wonder how well this would work for minifigures like Batman who have an absurd amount of one-offs and &quot;New hat!&quot; variants.

That'd be fine with me. @Batman- that's why I said &quot;major&quot; variant- eg, Cole's ghost airjitzu is grouped with his normal airjitzu, it just has {{C|ghost}} next to it, you could do the same thing with the different-shaped cowls.

Take [[Lloyd]]- his kimono suit comes as a physical minifigure in [[5002816 LEGO Ninjago: Character Encyclopedia]]. Technically, at the moment this should be listed under &quot;Book appearances&quot;, along with novels and other encyclopedia which just mention him or have a picture of him. There's no real way we have to indicate whether a minifigure actually appears or is just mentioned. I think the way to fix this might be to have a subsection of appearances just for video games, books, etc. It'd look something like:<br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> ==Appearances==<br /> * [[9443 Rattlecopter]] {{C|ZX}}<br /> * [[9457 Fangpyre Wrecking Ball]] {{C|ZX}}<br /> * [[5002816 LEGO Ninjago: Character Encyclopedia]] {{C|Kimono}}<br /> ===Gear appearances===<br /> ;Key chains<br /> * [[850442 Lloyd ZX Key Chain]]<br /> ;Clocks<br /> * Lloyd clock<br /> ===Mentions and portrayals===<br /> ;Video games<br /> * ''[[LEGO Ninjago - The Final Battle]]''<br /> ;Television<br /> * ''[[Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu]]''<br /> ** Season 1<br /> *** &quot;[[Rise of the Snakes]]&quot;<br /> ;Books<br /> * [[5002816 LEGO Ninjago: Character Encyclopedia]]<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> Note I've also got a &quot;gear appearances&quot; section for things which physically appear as Lloyd, but aren't 100% a minifigure. Also, the character encyclopedia appears twice because he both appears as a physical minifigure and is pictured/mentioned in the book. {{User:NovaHawk/sig}} 00:32, 29 June 2016 (UTC)<br /> :This makes sense, but I'm not sure about the name.

In my experience, it has mostly shown up on fansites like Brickset and Bricklink where it is used for organization. I wouldn't be surprised to find the term in some official materials, like [[The LEGO Book]], but I would expect that that would be more so because of the of the way that fans use the word. Essentially, [[Black Falcons]] was a revamp of the [[Castle]] theme, and that's what makes it a subtheme. &quot;Black Knights is a Castle theme.&quot; Considering that the sub- prefix means &quot;beneath&quot; or &quot;under&quot;, this makes sense. Castle, in turn, would be an &quot;umbrella&quot; or &quot;supertheme&quot; which also encompasses [[Royal Knights]], [[WolfPack]], and even, though we don't seem to consider it one for some reason, [[Nexo Knights]]. Though I don't know what our current organization is, under this reasoning, City would be a &quot;subtheme&quot; of the Town &quot;supertheme&quot;. This will sometimes show up when themes which we probably would not call &quot;super&quot;, like Adventurers or Alpha Team, get rebranded as &quot;Jungle&quot; or &quot;Deep Sea&quot;. The original version of the theme (just plain Alpha Team) usually gets treated as the &quot;supertheme&quot; because it has nothing particularly special about it (Adventurers being an exception because of the clearly defined desert setting in its first year). This doesn't make much sense because, even if we haven't got a name for it, the first year of Alpha Team releases is as much of a subtheme as the second. In short, a subtheme is a variation on a theme.<br /> <br /> As far as modern themes are concerned, we don't really do this any more from what I can tell though; we don't record an Outlands subtheme for Legends of Chima or a Rebooted one for Ninjago. The only place that we see subthemes now is with licensed themes. [[The Desolation of Smaug]] being a subtheme of [[The Hobbit]] theme. This doesn't always make a ton of sense though. I've noticed recently that [[Toy Story 3]] is a subtheme of [[Toy Story]]. The equation seems to be that since the name of the first movie is the name of the franchise, then the sets based on that first movie are not sub to the franchise like the sets based on the other movie are.<br /> <br /> The third point that I wanted to address is toylines, which we usually classify by the building elements they use. I think that this is should be more about what sort of product they are delivering. For example, [[Constraction]] is a building system, not a toyline, so we would classify BIONICLE, Galidor, etc. sets as part of an Action Figures, Constraction Figures, [[Ultrabuild]], or whatever toyline. Collectable Minifigures would be one. I think that sets like [[71241 Slimer Fun Pack]] should be considered part of a Dimensions, Video Games, or Toys to Life toyline with Ghostbusters as the theme. And [[Ideas]] would be handled a similar way, I think. Probably things like the new [[BrickHeadz: Batman and The Joker|BrickHeadz]], too, and maybe Mighty Micros and MicroFighters. Ninjago spinners and Chima speedorz would be toylines. Friends and Elves would be &quot;Girlz only no boys allowed!!1!1&quot;. The question I guess is sort of how to go about this because if I would consider Ideas a toyline, then what toyline would &quot;normal&quot; sets like City and non-spinner Ninjago classify under? &quot;Classic&quot; or &quot;what it's always been&quot; I guess, unless we wanted to equate superthemes like Town, Castle, and Pirates to toylines, which might make sense.<br /> <br /> So yeah, that's my overanalysis. Accept it or not, I think that we need to question what &quot;theme&quot; means. Because right now, it seems to have less to do with a rebrand or &quot;new take on an old classic&quot; and more to do with what kind of sets are being released under the same banner. And I think that leads to some messy organization. Admittedly, it's not usually too bad, but I think that we can do a lot better.<br /> <br /> With what I am thinking this will, for example, join all [[Ghostbusters]] products from across the [[Ideas]]/[[Dimensions]]/[[Ghostbusters|Sets]] divide while still allowing it to remain part of those things.<br /> <br /> Feel free to ask questions. I understand that my thinking isn't always so easy to follow, and even if you can, there are sure to be a lot of &quot;what about thises and thatses?&quot;. I'll work on a more precise plan in the mean time. [[User:Berrybrick|Berrybrick]] ([[User talk:Berrybrick|talk]]) 16:45, 16 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> :Okay I am not exactly sure what you are proposing. We could first do what Bricklink does and sort everything under whether its a set, book, video game etc. Having that additional category may be helpful. Then each theme could include sets, video games, clothing etc.<br /> <br /> :What comes to mind is allowing sets to have more than one theme, so the Dimensions pack would be in the Dimensions and the Ghostbusters themes. It solves the problem, but it makes sorting more confusing.<br /> <br /> :Maybe we should make a new category for things which span more than one theme/system.<br /> <br /> :*[http://www.bricklink.com/catalogTreeCat.asp?catID=166 LEGO Education] (Dacta), at school a few years ago we had old TECHNIC Dacta. But looking at Bricklink, there is also Dacta which uses System, DUPLO and Jumbo Bricks.<br /> :*Not just different systems, but themes also. There are Town, Castle and Creator sets that are still Dacta.<br /> :*Dimensions and Ideas are the same. There are different themes under each of these &quot;themes&quot;.<br /> <br /> :Maybe we should stop thinking of Education/Dacta, Ideas, Brickheadz and Dimensions as themes and instead as lines, like you said. So a set can still only be part of one theme, but can also be part of one of these additional categories.<br /> <br /> :You mentioned Speedorz, I don't understand what is wrong with having those under Chima, as on the boxes they say Chima Speedorz. The Town theme is long gone now, so really I suppose City sets actually replaced the Town theme. I need to think it through more, maybe draw up some diagrams showing all the different themes.<br /> <br /> :I don't know if that reply helps much, I'm not very good at collecting my thoughts together!

I'm glad you seem to be. :P<br /> ::*I had forgotten all about Dacta. That would be classified a toyline, at least in my thinking. That way it can encompass different themes, but those themes could still have regular products. Sort of like Ghostbusters having sets in its own theme, Ideas, and Dimensions. Does that make sense?<br /> ::*Speedorz would still be under Chima. I'm thinking that the banner on set pages which currently goes like [{System -&gt; Legends of Chima -&gt; Speedorz}] would instead be more like [{Speedorz -&gt; Legends of Chima -&gt; {subtheme}]. We could keep thinking of them as a subtheme and it wouldn't be the end of the world (especially since only Chima gets them), but I suppose my thought there comes more from thinking that we ought to do something about subtheme coming to mean &quot;special kinds of sets within regular theme&quot; rather than &quot;rebranded version of the theme&quot;.<br /> ::*On City/Town: Yeah, I'm not sure how clear I was, but the thing about Black Falcons was that that more or less replaced Castle, and then Black Falcons was in turn replaced by something else. We treat Castle, Space, and Pirates as superthemes and (almost) every new incarnation as a subtheme. By that logic, City would be a subtheme of the supertheme Town (or we could even call the supertheme City if people wanted to; though Town is more historical). Supertheming is a practice that, at least for those four themes, I like, but it has sort of started to teeter off with the way that people have started to think of subthemes.<br /> ::*I'd be happy to see what you come up with.

I guess that if there is really nothing better to put in the theme box DUPLO can go there--since that is probably what'll happen with TECHNIC anyway--but with the magic of wikilinks, it really won't be at the loss of any functionality or maneuverability. All of the articles which are linked to and from [[DUPLO]] now would be then.

That was long :P Not sure what to think about the toyline idea yet- &quot;toyline&quot; was intended to be what you call &quot;system&quot; in your notes when the set header was created, so this would be a whole other category. Put me down for a neutral for now, I probably need to reread it again :)<br /> ** The whole subtheme thing started because the online LEGO Shop originally used to group stuff into subthemes, eg check the sidebar [https://web.archive.org/web/20040727121429/http://shop.lego.com/product.asp?p=7124 here]. The whole Toy Story both being a supertheme for all Toy Story movies and a Toy Story 1 subtheme is probably a mistake on our part. Although for some reason I seem to remember that Cars and Toy Story used to have bars that went &quot;Cars&quot; for Cars 1 sets and &quot;Cars &gt; Cars 2&quot; for Cars 2 sets. I could be wrong though. I'm pretty certain PoTC used to have a bar that went &quot;Pirates of the Caribbean&quot; for POTC 1-3 sets and &quot;Pirates of the Caribbean &gt; Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides&quot; for the 4th though. [https://web.archive.org/web/20040720044606/http://shop.lego.com/leaf.asp?cn=30&amp;d=7&amp;t=3&amp;Type=4 Spider-Man] on the other hand did seem to group them separately- Spider-Man was one theme, Spider-Man 2 was another. So that was definitely our mistake. Now I think of it, POTC/Toy Story/Cars may have been listed the same was as Spider-Man was and we handled it badly {{User:NovaHawk/sig}} 01:23, 17 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> ***Yeah, I would have dropped that bit about sequel nesting had I thought ahead more. :P It's not a big deal. We don't have to do anything about it right now. And @Toylines, I guess that I saw the term used in a different capacity yesterday and sort of ran with it.... Anyway, thanks for the correction about where subthemes come from. I guess I just didn't expect that they would be so thoroughly added retroactively. Part of my text wall was that we don't seem to identify subthemes by the same conventions anymore, and I would sort of like to get back to that, which is why I was distinguishing toylines (and hopefully not making it more confusing by making them something new :P). I hope that makes a reread easier. :P [[User:Berrybrick|Berrybrick]] ([[User talk:Berrybrick|talk]]) 03:08, 17 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> <br /> I suppose the level of organisation we can achieve depends on whether you want to keep the theme names &quot;official&quot;. Looking at the Toy Story sets, all the boxes say Disney on them, so this is how I would organise it:<br /> *Disney &gt; Toy Story ([[:File:7590 alt1.png]])<br /> *Disney &gt; Toy Story 3 ([[:File:7789 Lotso's Dump Truck box.png]])<br /> Nowhere on the Toy Story 3 box does it imply that Toy Story 3 is a subtheme of Toy Story (although after reading the text above maybe the LEGO website did).<br /> <br /> I may be taking this a bit too seriously, but being a wiki admin for four years now makes me want to categorise everything correctly. So this is my suggestion for better organising of sets:-<br /> *'''What it is''' - Set, videogame, boardgame, t-shirt, pen etc etc.<br /> **'''System of construction''' (for the items above that include bricks) - [[System]], [[TECHNIC]], [[DUPLO]], [[QUATRO]], [[Modulex]], [[Jumbo Bricks]], [[Galidor]], [[Scala]] - '''one only per set''' (these are all different methods of construction, correct me if I'm wrong but AFAIK in every set the majority of bricks belong to one of these)<br /> *'''Theme''' - so [[Disney]] &gt; [[Toy Story]] - '''only one final theme per set''' (maybe not assigning a theme to every set might help organisation for generic DUPLO and TECHNIC sets)<br /> *'''Toyline''' (or whatever you want to call it) - [[Dacta]], [[BrickHeadz]], [[Collectable Minifigures]], [[Ideas]], [[Dimensions]] etc - Not related to theme, a set can belong to one of these as well as a theme.<br /> I know this will require a lot of work to re-categorise sets, but if we want the system to make more sense then that might be inevitable. Please consider this, I will now find some examples for this. [[User:Lachlan|Lachlan]] ([[User talk:Lachlan|talk]]) 10:43, 19 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> <br /> <br /> So, here we are. I'm going to use subheadings.<br /> ;Themes<br /> *What is a theme? Is it a general term for a grouping of thematically related sets? Sometimes we use it as such, but I think the best thing to go by is either a) what LEGO say or b) how LEGO brand it. So [[Airport]] is a no, for example. That was just made because its nice for a database to group Airplane related sets together.<br /> *&quot;So a set can still only be part of one theme,&quot; Disagree. Some sets get redefined themes midway through their existence, especially those in the &quot;box of bricks&quot; sort of category, when LEGO decides to rebrand it every couple of years, but still have the old sets to sell :P<br /> ;Subthemes<br /> *I agree that we only use subtheme because Brickset/Bricklink/etc do. Because, lets be honest, when I made pages at least, I just copied the information from them...<br /> *The issue with subthemes comes from this unofficialness. I was going to bring this months ago, but we use them as umbrella terms, like Berry says. The only reason we call those 80s Castle lines subthemes is because they are Castle based. So why not Nexo Knights? I don't know.<br /> *&quot;we don't record an Outlands subtheme for Legends of Chima or a Rebooted one for Ninjago&quot;. This is literally only because we make the pages before we know they are &quot;subthemes&quot;. If we were making them 10 years done the line we probably would :P<br /> *&quot;DUPLO and City list all their subthemes on their websites, otherwise things are in fact pretty vague for unlicensed themes.&quot; DUPLO has themes, not subthemes (although its confusing as they also have apparently themeless sets...). For what its worth, City website doesn't actually call them subthemes either.<br /> *&quot;Although for some reason I seem to remember that Cars and Toy Story used to have bars that went &quot;Cars&quot; for Cars 1 sets and &quot;Cars &gt; Cars 2&quot; for Cars 2 sets.&quot; It would say Cars for Cars 1 because Cars 1 was called Cars? :P Same with Toy Story<br /> ** Well yeah, I guess now you say it Cars &gt; Cars would look a bit weird. Guess we should have picked up on that and had &quot;Toy Story&quot; and &quot;Toy Story (subtheme)&quot; {{User:NovaHawk/sig}} 00:55, 23 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> ;Toylines<br /> *These are a historical relic here.<br /> *They were nominally to divide system based sets and duplo based sets. Even in the 90s boxes said System on them and stuff. But that doesn't mean its a linear thing. Lines are blurred. Is Architecture a system theme because its using system bricks? Or is it not because they are clearly different styles of set from the sets that used to say &quot;System&quot; on them.<br /> *Berry raises an interesting point about &quot;action figures&quot; and &quot;toys to life&quot; and stuff. I'm not sure my thoughts on it.<br /> *&quot;Okay I am not exactly sure what you are proposing. We could first do what Bricklink does and sort everything under whether its a set, book, video game etc. Having that additional category may be helpful. Then each theme could include sets, video games, clothing etc.&quot; This to an extent happens already. Its just instead of &quot;sets&quot; we are using System/DUPLO/TECHNIC/whatever for sets.<br /> *Education sets confuse things even more...<br /> <br /> ;Lachlan's idea at the bottom<br /> *The perils of writing this as I read them is that I didn't see this until I wrote all that stuff above.<br /> *Anyway, I'm interested in it.

Except &quot;What it is&quot; is what I was calling a Toyline. So my hierarchy would go like this:<br /> :*'''Toyline''' or '''What it is''' - &quot;Gear&quot; or &quot;Miscellaneous&quot; being used to lump together things like pens and T-shirts, though if we wanted those to be their own thing, I guess now would be the time to do it.<br /> ::*'''System of Construction''' - Thanks for that term; the parts it is made from, being System, TECHNIC, DUPLO, CCBS, or whatever. I should note that I don't envision this appearing on the banner because DUPLO, TECHNIC, and a lot of minor Systems are also what we could call themes or toylines.<br /> :*'''Theme'''<br /> :*'''Subtheme'''<br /> :If there is a supertheme applicable (like Castle to Black Falcons) that would be the theme, but I suppose the confusing thing is that you can get &quot;more sub&quot; and have a subtheme of a subtheme because subthemes and superthemes ''are'' themes; they are just sub- or super-. With that in mind, I don't think that there will be a problem of things being broken down too far. As an example, &quot;DUPLO &gt; Super Heroes &gt; Marvel &gt; Spider-Man&quot; (again an example; I'm not suggesting that we divvy up the Super Heroes line like that right now).<br /> :I'm not too worried about working out the subtheme nesting right now. Grouping all of the Disney sets (except Marvel and Star Wars, probably) under a Disney supertheme wouldn't be a bad idea though.<br /> :'''@CJC (14:41)''': I think we are on the same page, but you explain what is wrong with the system much more clearly than I did. Thanks.<br /> :'''@Lachlan (16:08)''': There are a couple of ways I can see to solve that using Toyline &gt; Theme &gt; Subtheme<br /> :*&lt;s&gt;We could consider Explore and Baby themes which are part of the DUPLO toyline and Bob the Builder an Explore subtheme. When the set is part of Explore, it would go &quot;DUPLO &gt; Explore &gt; Bob the Builder&quot;. When it isn't, it would go &quot;DUPLO &gt; Bob the Builder&quot;.&lt;/s&gt;<br /> :*Alternatively, we could consider Explore and Baby toylines. Then, &quot;Explore &gt; Bob the Builder&quot; or &quot;DUPLO &gt; Bob the Builder&quot; depending on the set.<br /> ::&lt;small&gt;I thought CJC was saying that DUPLO was Baby and Explore. If Explore is Baby and DUPLO, then it should be a toyline.&lt;/small&gt;<br /> :That was what I was trying to get across with the piece about Ghostbusters where right now we consider the Ideas and Dimensions sets as separate from the ones in the main theme. The idea is that different sets which are considered part of the same theme don't all need to be broken down in the same boxes to be together; they just have to fit one group, the theme, and the rest can be Venn diagrams.<br /> [[User:Berrybrick|Berrybrick]] ([[User talk:Berrybrick|talk]]) 19:25, 19 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> ::It's worth noting that (at least recently), those issues haven't been a problem on say, DC Super Heroes - The system, duplo and juniors pages all have that as a theme atm.

I don't think that Star Wars and Marvel should be a part of it though because it's more about franchise than ownership, I think. The Disney stuff sort of crosses over with itself with things like the CMFs and Princesses (especially with Ariel in both) whilst Marvel and Star Wars stay self contained. Also, would want to include Pirates of the Caribbean, Prince of Persia, and Lone Ranger or keep it to animated stuff? And what about Disney Princesses and all of those DUPLO shows? I'd say include, though maybe group the DUPLO shows into a Disney Junior subtheme? I don't know.

There really isn't a problem with that now. \_O_/ [[User:Berrybrick|Berrybrick]] ([[User talk:Berrybrick|talk]]) 04:27, 20 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> * I think whoever had the Toyline &gt; System of Construction &gt; Theme &gt; Subtheme is on the right track (I can't tell who's writing what in some areas). Plus it seems to be pretty much what we have but with an extra parameter so would be easier to change over. Not sure how I feel about Disney being a supertheme, I think it should be just for Disney stuff that doesn't already have a theme and stick Disney in the &quot;related themes&quot; field. Plus I like having Cars and Cars 2- that's how they were assigned officially and I think shorter lists make it easier to read. I think there was a suggestion above to scrap all subthemes- strongly against this. Firstly many of these were officially assigned, why not use them? But then there's ease of navigation to consider- say you were a casual reader looking for a Star Wars set, you didn't know what the set was called but you knew what movie it was from. Would you rather go through a list of 500+ sets in Category:Star Wars sets, but a list of 10-80 by looking at the subtheme category? @Berrybrick- I know what you mean about Juniors and Friends/DC/Marvel being treated as subthemes, that's an awkward one (I don't have any ideas on what to do) {{User:NovaHawk/sig}} 00:55, 23 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> :* Yeah, I've decided that Cars/Cars 2 doesn't really bother me. Sometimes you organize documents on a computer like that, so it's not a big deal. It might actually be confusing to do it any other way (aside from making Disney a supertheme, but I'm with you that I personally prefer that being separate, but that's only personally). I don't think there was a suggestion to scrap subthemes (aside from maybe things like [[Airport]]; CJC would have to comment on that), though I can see where you'd get that, it was more that our of idea of a subtheme has changed and become a bit inconsistent over the years and that we aren't using them to their full advantage because of it. But if I did happen to miss a petition to scrap them--again, I agree with you. I go through that process all the time. :P As for Juniors, my solution is to expand our definition of toyline to include things like Juniors because it's a ''line'' of ''toys'' that includes Friends and SH ''theme''d sets. :P So the banner would go Juniors (System) -&gt; Friends, or something like that.

[[User:SamanthaNguyen|SamanthaNguyen]] ([[User talk:SamanthaNguyen|talk]]) 02:23, 21 September 2016 (UTC)<br /> * Here's my opinion, it may not make sense- I don't know why but I'm finding this strangely hard to explain :D<br /> ** I don't see why we need to make a special exception here- all our other pages done in a singular form, just because they're twins, doesn't mean they should be treated as one entity as they're still two individuals.<br /> ** There's the simple logistics of it- if the article is about two minifigures, how many should you say appear in the set? Kabuki Twins (two) could mean two groups of two. Then on the minifigure page for accessories- if you say the minifigure has two claws, does that mean two total (ie, one each) or two each?<br /> ** In the case of the Skull Twins and Kabuki Twins who don't have a backgrounds or personalities distinctly different from each other, it makes no sense to have pages like &quot;Kabuki Twin 1&quot; and &quot;Kabuki Twin 2&quot; since they'd be completely identical. Fred and George are different since they do, and also have separate video game characters as well.<br /> *** So why not use the plural on the &quot;xxx Twins&quot;? We're talking about minifigures here, not the characters, and apart from the background, the page should be &quot;out of universe&quot;. Since neither of these are Siamese twins, we're getting two separate identical copies of a single minifigure, just like we get two identical unnamed Stormtrooper minifigures or whatever so I don't see why this case needs to be treated differently.<br /> :Again, sorry if that makes absolutely no sense :P Basically, per Sam. {{User:NovaHawk/sig}} 02:30, 21 September 2016 (UTC)<br /> :Eh....<br /> :*Logistical stuff:<br /> ::*Concern about Appearance section is granted, though I don't think it is an insolvable problem.

That is an essential part of who they are. Like, I probably would say that they are &quot;one [inseparable] entity that is two individuals.&quot; Fred and George don't have that, and neither do the Stormtroopers. The Skull Twins may be a little different, for reasons noted on the article, so I could agree with the Stormtrooper analogy there, but it could probably go both ways. The Kabuki Twins are one indivisible character, but part of that character is being twofold; one personality, two bodies, perhaps.<br /> :Sorry if ''this'' makes no sense.

Why make them click an extra link for no reason? Even for cases like Batman, most people are going to be looking for the guy currently being sold in sets and the star of an upcoming movie, not for some discontinued theme from 10 years ago (some people searching may not have even been born when the theme came out). It's not like they can't find the other page(s) if they needed to, there should always be one of those &quot;&quot;Marvel redirects here.

Given that the toggle to collapse/expand the sidebar already exists (for really small screens, ie. my mobile device in portrait mode, as opposed to in landscape mode), we could simply show it for all screen resolutions instead, which would then allow users to regain some precious screen space when viewing larger (=wider) pages, such as set listings. --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] ([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|talk]]) 19:58, 17 October 2016 (UTC)<br /> *** A related ticket (except for content sections @[[phab:T143511|T143511]]), although I support the idea of collapsable sidebars for all resolutions, would require some rethinking some of the header interface though, because we'll need a button somewhere on there for opening and closing the sidebar menu. As for images on mobile devices (even though I feel like all the data in ThemeTables could be displayed in a better way visually (that's for another day)) I think that we could use a media screen query(&lt;code&gt;@media screen&lt;/code&gt;) to define image sizes based on screen sizes.

It also makes references to ''[[Wikipedia:The New Scooby-Doo Movies|Scooby-Doo Meets Batman]]''. There is no real guideline specifying what exactly should be done regarding the character, given the fact that there are so many different (major: Earth-One, New Earth, Prime Earth) variations, covered or not by LEGO media. Since [[76052 Batman Classic TV Series - Batcave]] includes the Silver Age, Earth-One (I believe) Batman, we should have a short description for that incarnation of Batman, one for the New Earth Batman, since the original Batman theme was released during its run and [[LEGO Batman: The Videogame]]'s Batcomputer facts are based around the New Earth canon, and Prime Earth due to New 52 elements being used in the [[DC Comics Super Heroes]] line and games. It would be confusing, but it is much more factual than implying that the New Earth Batman and Prime Earth [[Ace the Bathound]] teamed up with Earth-One [[Scooby-Doo|Mystery, Inc.]] to foil the Joker's plans. Or perhaps we should only have the LEGO media-only backgrounds for such characters. But regardless, a guideline ''will'' be necessary.

Anyway, here are some thoughts:<br /> :::*[[BP:NOT]]<br /> :::*I think it makes sense, in a lot of cases (i.e. Star Wars, Harry Potter, Indiana Jones, Ninjago) for characters to have ''some'' account of their character development. Comic characters are a little different though, because most of the really notable ones have very little permanent canon beyond their origin.<br /> :::*Even doing it in the context of &quot;LEGO&quot; probably won't work: We've got different Batmans between the sets, video games, DVD specials, magazines, and the cinematic movies.<br /> ::::*If we had to pick one, I'd go with video games, at least primarily. They generally give most attention to the universe, I think.<br /> ::::*Speaking of which, if the article is tremendously messy, we could split the page into &quot;Batman&quot; and &quot;Batman (The LEGO Movie).&quot; That ''might'' mean doing the same for Robin, Batgirl, Joker, Alfred, and everyone else too, but some sort of notability policy might help take care of that.<br /> :::*My thought is that, for sanity's sake, a background should explain the character's place in the larger world as far as it is stable. For Batman, that would be his origin, what he's about, relations to characters like the Robins/Batgirl/Alfred, the Justice League, Gotham City, and his Rogues Gallery. How detailed do you get though?<br /> ::::*The issue is that this probably wouldn't make for a very good read. There might be some articles or websites we could find to get an idea of how to write like that, though.<br /> ::::*And then, what do we do with the video game and movie versions? They probably shouldn't be the plot summaries that they are now; save those for the game/movie articles themselves.<br /> :::So that's what I've got for now. Might have more thoughts later. [[User:Berrybrick|Berrybrick]] ([[User talk:Berrybrick|talk]]) 21:27, 22 October 2016 (UTC)<br /> ::::By &quot;in the context of LEGO&quot;, I didn't mean the sets, as those do not have a real, larger story. I was thinking perhaps backgrounds in relation to the ''LEGO Batman'' series of games and related media, ''The LEGO Movie'' and derived media, ''The LEGO Batman Movie'', the ''LEGO Justice League'' films and related media, and ''LEGO Dimensions''. Each one of those five topics have their own version(s) of Batman that would need separate sections. Those would certainly be relevant to Brickipedia, as would be articles on the ''Dark Knight'' film series (all three films have at least one set), and the 1966 TV series, which is also directly identified as such (unlike most other sets, it's just &quot;Batman&quot; from Earth-God-Knows-What). I don't think that separating the articles per-theme would be such a great idea, though. Sure, our article on Batman has a section that is essentially the synopsis of all of the hero missions of LBTVG, but I don't think that would do very well as the plot for LBTVG either. It's already too long and detailed, and would need to be expanded further and also need to accommodate the other half of the game, 15 villain missions. That's a personal opinion, however; we don't have a guideline as to [[User:Edward Nigma/Chase McCain|how long backgrounds must be]] and I don't think that's the main focus of this discussion anyway.

Articles don't need to be drowned in detail; that just makes things that are actually informative harder to pick out and causes the page to decay. We have this problem with descriptions too. The background I suggested, though it still has issues I would like to pound out, would tell people who he is without concerning itself with differences that are really quite arbitrary in all of those cases except for maybe ''The Dark Knight'' trilogy because of the way that series' world works (but I'd just ignore it; mention what it's based on in the description, and put an external link to where they can read about that and every other version, because BP:NOT). Batman is a very fluid character; trying to pin down all of these heads (by &quot;earths&quot;) is not necessary. The only version I think needs to be covered in any considerable detail as &quot;separate&quot; from our generibat is the TLM/TLBM version(s), which is why I suggested splitting the article into &quot;Batman&quot; and &quot;Batman (The LEGO Movie)&quot;--and only those two(--though I'm not really for the idea either). As for transposing the stories to the the video game (or whatever) pages; of course it wouldn't be a copy and paste and shouldn't be that detailed, but anything on the Batman article needn't walk through every (or any?) scene. Also, though it is ''really'' just creating another head, the sets do have conflict and therefore elements of a story (albeit basic); yes, it would be chaff to write lines about that one time he saved an alien princess from an amusement park of doom, so let's not do it, but maybe it would be useful if the background could somehow explain how he knows this Joker guy whose face keeps showing up everywhere? Or how he knows these Robin and Flash people who keep showing up?

No real opinion on splitting TLBM Batman, I'm ok either way.

A general background that goes as far into detail as possible without crossing the story-specific boundaries. I wouldn't oppose that.

[[User:Berrybrick|Berrybrick]] ([[User talk:Berrybrick|talk]]) 13:57, 27 November 2016 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ==Requirements for admin==<br /> The minimum edit requirement for requests for admin rights currently reads &quot;500 content namespace edits&quot;. This is a bit messed up. At the time the rule came in, there was only one &quot;content namespace&quot;- the mainspace (this is why the templates in the requests say &quot;''x'' edits, ''y'' mainspace&quot;- to check that ''y''&gt;500 for admin requests). However, we now have several namespaces defined as content namespaces in the code- Brickipedia News, Fan, Inventory, Review and Part (at the time the rule was made, &quot;Part&quot; was a part of the mainspace, and the Fan namespace didn't exist- Brickimedia Customs did). So, basically just wondering if we want to re-examine which namespaces should count toward admin requests since so much has changed since the original rule was made. {{User:NovaHawk/sig}} 11:16, 27 November 2016 (UTC)<br /> * Personally, I'd be happy to just make it 500 for any namespace excluding edits in the User/User talk/User blog namespaces. It seems a bit silly to me that edits in useful places like the template namespace don't count. {{User:NovaHawk/sig}} 11:16, 27 November 2016 (UTC)<br /> :*Sure. Per Nova. [[User:Berrybrick|Berrybrick]] ([[User talk:Berrybrick|talk]]) 13:47, 27 November 2016 (UTC)<br /> :* Agreed. [[User:SamanthaNguyen|SamanthaNguyen]] ([[User talk:SamanthaNguyen|talk]]) 16:45, 27 November 2016 (UTC)<br /> * I've changed my mind (again!). &lt;s&gt;As much as I don't agree with Reviews or Fan as being considered &quot;content&quot; (I still don't), however, I'd venture to say that it would be necessary for administrators to have experience with those two namespaces.&lt;/s&gt; However, editing Brickipedia News pages is reserved only for news reporters, administrators, and others with administrative rights, so I don't think that that should have anything to do with gaining administrative rights. &lt;s&gt;It would also be nice, like Nova said, for admins-to-be to have knowledge of templates and how they work (and thus, edits in the template namespace).&lt;/s&gt; I think it's necessary to keep the edit requirements. I don't think that we could UCS on whose request is to be considered valid or not. The entire purpose of the edit requirement is to prevent that sort of business from having to happen, but primarily, to ensure that the user in question is well-versed in managing the primary function of this wiki: mainspace articles. I would not mind that we broaden the usage of the term &quot;mainspace&quot; in this context to encompass the mainspace, inventory, and part namespaces. That is the only real &quot;content&quot; on this site (sorry Reviews and Fan - you're not ''real'' content). I get it, administrators do a lot more than just edit our articles (which is definitely not what administrative rights are required for). Like others have said, yes, it ''would'' be nice to have administrators-to-be having much more knowledge about other parts of the wiki, such as participating in discussions and working with templates, etc. etc. But how would we factor any of that into the URR process? The edit requirement is something simple, something minimal that displays that the user is dedicated enough to qualify for administrator. [[User:Edward Nigma|&lt;font color=&quot;lime&quot;&gt;LCF&lt;/font&gt;]] &lt;sup&gt;([[User talk:Edward Nigma|&lt;font color=&quot;#6600FF&quot;&gt;talk!&lt;/font&gt;]])&lt;/sup&gt; 18:52, 27 November 2016 (UTC)<br /> ** Everyone has brought up some very fine points here. On the other hand, I'm against hard-coded edit count requirements, but the fact is that Brickipedia ''is'' a wiki and we need good edits for the site to thrive. One of the strengths of any admin team, but especially ours, is diversity. We have different people with different strengths and interests, and we are all united by our dedication to making Brickipedia '''the''' LEGO wiki. You know how templates work? And you've even created a few new ones on your own? Splendid! You've verified pre-existing inventories and written new ones? Wonderful! Knowledge of both is definitely a plus for any admin candidate, but the lack of edits in a namespace shouldn't necessarily be something to be held against a candidate.&lt;br /&gt;For example, on [[shoutwiki:|ShoutWiki]] we have an extension which enables &quot;sharing&quot; the [[shoutwiki:Help:Contents|help pages from ShoutWiki Hub]] to any other English-language ShoutWiki wiki which does not yet have local help pages ([[shoutwiki:w:nintendogs:Help:Contents|such as this wiki, which was just created yesterday]]). Although this analogy doesn't apply quite as well to well-estabilished, big wikis like Brickipedia, you can see why most ShoutWiki sites probably have a rather small amount of help pages, if any.&lt;br /&gt;I agree with Nova in that edits in the User* namespaces shouldn't count, but as for the rest, why not? Article edits are important, but so is discussing with other editors about potential naming conflicts and such, so most edits to various talkspaces are probably meaningful, too. --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] ([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|talk]]) 20:56, 27 November 2016 (UTC)<br /> * I mean, in many ways Template/File etc are also &quot;content&quot; namespaces. So I'd just remove the content namespace part of it to just say &quot;500 edits&quot;. Then, if they do in the unlikely chance have 493 of those in User talk/User blog, then we can just not support it...

After performing a page title search, I came across [[Brickipedia:Notability]], which was not linked to anywhere (in fact, [[Template:Notable]] is the only page on this entire site that links to that policy). It seems that CJC95 wrote it over five years ago, where it has not been edited since. I'm facing a dilemma here as I'm unsure as to whether the policy is even relevant anymore.

At that point, I also saw the [[Poster]] article and [[:Category:Poster]]. Some of the poster articles have set numbers. Others don't. The &quot;Poster&quot; article itself could be a LCP-2 article, but as I discovered that we have several poster-related articles that were questionable territory under [[Brickipedia:Notability|the notability policy]], whose existence is also questionable.

So I've made a template, {{tl|SetsByYear}}, which will just automatically display all sets in a theme by year. Currently it can only support up to 12 years, just want to know if I should bother to expand the number of years it could take before going ahead with it.<br /> <br /> ;Usage<br /> Make a template like normal nav templates with colours etc, using [[Elves]] as an example (so you'd use Template:Elves sets as the name).<br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> {{SetsByYear<br /> |header-background-color = 2A576C <br /> |link = Elves<br /> |link-2 = Set<br /> |pipe-2 = sets<br /> |link-color = FFFFFF<br /> |template-name = Elves sets<br /> |year={{{1}}}<br /> |theme=Elves<br /> |2015|2016|2017}}<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> The only different thing here are the bottom three rows. Don't touch the third-last row, that's what it needs to be. Second-last row is the theme (I'll need to work on something to get stuff working for things with subthemes like Star Wars). The last row is the important one- put down each year the theme had a set released.<br /> <br /> Then, go ahead and use as normal, eg, stick &lt;nowiki&gt;{{Elves sets|2017}}&lt;/nowiki&gt; at the bottom of an article, and it'll show all Elves sets released in 2017, with tabs for other years ([[Template:Elves_sets/test2|example]]).<br /> <br /> And that's it. You literally don't have to type any sets names anywhere and stuff will automatically update. All you have to do is add an extra year to the template when it's known that sets will be released in a future year.<br /> <br /> ;Bad stuff<br /> * Only supports 12 years at the moment (easily changed)<br /> * Sometimes at the moment, sets are broken into smaller categories, eg Star Wars sets are typically broken into sections like &quot;normal sets&quot;, &quot;microfighters&quot;, &quot;planets sets&quot;, UCS sets, etc. This doesn't currently support that, and without making categories, this can't be done reliably as far as I can tell. There would be a way to do manually exclude stuff and add it to a separate section, but that would require some coding knowledge.<br /> <br /> So basically- should we use this template are not?<br /> * If we do use it, where do we want to use it? I mean, it'd be pretty pointless for themes that have only been out for one or two years, should we start after a theme's been going for 4(?) years?<br /> <br /> {{User:NovaHawk/sig}} 06:06, 16 January 2017 (UTC)<br /> :I'll try to take a look at this later.

That said, if a move happened, I'd prefer it done well. What I don't think people really took away from the move proposal is that Brickipedia would be gaining a team that is experienced in running MediaWiki productions sites and that while you sort of already have two (well, okay, one - Jack) of our team member's attention, but Brickimedia isn't our focus.

I think part of this is because it's a long list, and there are little notes next to everything... it just looks a mess to me. I think it would be much better to group the appearances by each major variant- as it's really only new variants coming out, you can see right away what needs to be added, and it's also more useful if you want to see what set a specific variant appears in. There's an example [[Cole#Appearances|here]] (as opposed to [http://en.brickimedia.org/index.php?title=Cole&amp;oldid=1036027#Appearances here]- note that it's missing about 5 sets on the list). {{User:NovaHawk/sig}} 00:32, 29 June 2016 (UTC)<br /> :Sure. I think that it might be useful to indicate years (i.e. Trainee (2006 - 2007, 2009)) as well as variants. Even just one of those is probably a more sensible way a person will browse than by set number. I do wonder how well this would work for minifigures like Batman who have an absurd amount of one-offs and &quot;New hat!&quot; variants. [[User:Berrybrick|Berrybrick]] ([[User talk:Berrybrick|talk]]) 00:40, 29 June 2016 (UTC)<br /> :Per Berry. [[User:Edward Nigma|&lt;font color=&quot;lime&quot;&gt;LCF&lt;/font&gt;]] &lt;sup&gt;([[User talk:Edward Nigma|&lt;font color=&quot;#6600FF&quot;&gt;talk!&lt;/font&gt;]])&lt;/sup&gt; 01:15, 29 June 2016 (UTC)<br /> : You mean years in the heading (eg, DX (2011-2012))? That'd be fine with me. @Batman- that's why I said &quot;major&quot; variant- eg, Cole's ghost airjitzu is grouped with his normal airjitzu, it just has {{C|ghost}} next to it, you could do the same thing with the different-shaped cowls. I get what you mean for one-off suits, though I still think it'd be slightly better this way overall :S {{User:NovaHawk/sig}} 03:50, 29 June 2016 (UTC)<br /> :I like the new layout, but Friends has unique (throwing a random leg piece and torso together) variations for each set. So that'll look messy regardless {{User:Soupperson1/Sig}}<br /> :: Just had a look at all the variants/appearances on Emma, and yeah it'd be pretty pointless on Friends since nearly every set would have its own heading :S I don't think there needs to be a fixed rule for when to use this formatting, just more of a &quot;use when it makes sense to use it&quot;-type thing {{User:NovaHawk/sig}} 03:14, 9 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> ::: I guess it could apply to most themes par City, Creator and Friends. {{User:Soupperson1/Sig}}<br /> <br /> ===&quot;Mentions, depictions and portrayals&quot; section===<br /> I've had a problem with the appearances section ever since it came out, and wasn't sure how to fix it. Take [[Lloyd]]- his kimono suit comes as a physical minifigure in [[5002816 LEGO Ninjago: Character Encyclopedia]]. Technically, at the moment this should be listed under &quot;Book appearances&quot;, along with novels and other encyclopedia which just mention him or have a picture of him. There's no real way we have to indicate whether a minifigure actually appears or is just mentioned. I think the way to fix this might be to have a subsection of appearances just for video games, books, etc. It'd look something like:<br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> ==Appearances==<br /> * [[9443 Rattlecopter]] {{C|ZX}}<br /> * [[9457 Fangpyre Wrecking Ball]] {{C|ZX}}<br /> * [[5002816 LEGO Ninjago: Character Encyclopedia]] {{C|Kimono}}<br /> ===Gear appearances===<br /> ;Key chains<br /> * [[850442 Lloyd ZX Key Chain]]<br /> ;Clocks<br /> * Lloyd clock<br /> ===Mentions and portrayals===<br /> ;Video games<br /> * ''[[LEGO Ninjago - The Final Battle]]''<br /> ;Television<br /> * ''[[Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu]]''<br /> ** Season 1<br /> *** &quot;[[Rise of the Snakes]]&quot;<br /> ;Books<br /> * [[5002816 LEGO Ninjago: Character Encyclopedia]]<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> Note I've also got a &quot;gear appearances&quot; section for things which physically appear as Lloyd, but aren't 100% a minifigure. Also, the character encyclopedia appears twice because he both appears as a physical minifigure and is pictured/mentioned in the book. {{User:NovaHawk/sig}} 00:32, 29 June 2016 (UTC)<br /> :This makes sense, but I'm not sure about the name. I think its &quot;mentions&quot; which gets me, and then aren't portrayals and depictions the same thing? I'd just pick either of those, personally. I'm just nitpicking your brilliance though. :P [[User:Berrybrick|Berrybrick]] ([[User talk:Berrybrick|talk]]) 00:44, 29 June 2016 (UTC)<br /> ::Oh yeah, I meant to say I had no idea what to name it :D And yes, they're the same, I won't take you through the crazy process I went through to have both there :P Removed one of them, if you like the other feel free to change it {{User:NovaHawk/sig}} 00:56, 29 June 2016 (UTC)<br /> :I think that our current handling of &quot;mentions and portrayals&quot; is sufficient. Lloyd appears in the book, yes, but shouldn't it already be clear that there is a section for his physical appearances? Perhaps the &quot;appearances&quot; section should be renamed to &quot;Set appearances&quot; or &quot;Physical appearances&quot;? I believe that the problem would lie more with the generic nature of the lone word &quot;Appearances&quot;, not the other way around.

In my experience, it has mostly shown up on fansites like Brickset and Bricklink where it is used for organization. I wouldn't be surprised to find the term in some official materials, like [[The LEGO Book]], but I would expect that that would be more so because of the of the way that fans use the word. Essentially, [[Black Falcons]] was a revamp of the [[Castle]] theme, and that's what makes it a subtheme. &quot;Black Knights is a Castle theme.&quot; Considering that the sub- prefix means &quot;beneath&quot; or &quot;under&quot;, this makes sense. Castle, in turn, would be an &quot;umbrella&quot; or &quot;supertheme&quot; which also encompasses [[Royal Knights]], [[WolfPack]], and even, though we don't seem to consider it one for some reason, [[Nexo Knights]]. Though I don't know what our current organization is, under this reasoning, City would be a &quot;subtheme&quot; of the Town &quot;supertheme&quot;. This will sometimes show up when themes which we probably would not call &quot;super&quot;, like Adventurers or Alpha Team, get rebranded as &quot;Jungle&quot; or &quot;Deep Sea&quot;. The original version of the theme (just plain Alpha Team) usually gets treated as the &quot;supertheme&quot; because it has nothing particularly special about it (Adventurers being an exception because of the clearly defined desert setting in its first year). This doesn't make much sense because, even if we haven't got a name for it, the first year of Alpha Team releases is as much of a subtheme as the second. In short, a subtheme is a variation on a theme.<br /> <br /> As far as modern themes are concerned, we don't really do this any more from what I can tell though; we don't record an Outlands subtheme for Legends of Chima or a Rebooted one for Ninjago. The only place that we see subthemes now is with licensed themes. [[The Desolation of Smaug]] being a subtheme of [[The Hobbit]] theme. This doesn't always make a ton of sense though. I've noticed recently that [[Toy Story 3]] is a subtheme of [[Toy Story]]. The equation seems to be that since the name of the first movie is the name of the franchise, then the sets based on that first movie are not sub to the franchise like the sets based on the other movie are.<br /> <br /> The third point that I wanted to address is toylines, which we usually classify by the building elements they use. I think that this is should be more about what sort of product they are delivering. For example, [[Constraction]] is a building system, not a toyline, so we would classify BIONICLE, Galidor, etc. sets as part of an Action Figures, Constraction Figures, [[Ultrabuild]], or whatever toyline. Collectable Minifigures would be one. I think that sets like [[71241 Slimer Fun Pack]] should be considered part of a Dimensions, Video Games, or Toys to Life toyline with Ghostbusters as the theme. And [[Ideas]] would be handled a similar way, I think. Probably things like the new [[BrickHeadz: Batman and The Joker|BrickHeadz]], too, and maybe Mighty Micros and MicroFighters. Ninjago spinners and Chima speedorz would be toylines. Friends and Elves would be &quot;Girlz only no boys allowed!!1!1&quot;. The question I guess is sort of how to go about this because if I would consider Ideas a toyline, then what toyline would &quot;normal&quot; sets like City and non-spinner Ninjago classify under? &quot;Classic&quot; or &quot;what it's always been&quot; I guess, unless we wanted to equate superthemes like Town, Castle, and Pirates to toylines, which might make sense.<br /> <br /> So yeah, that's my overanalysis. Accept it or not, I think that we need to question what &quot;theme&quot; means. Because right now, it seems to have less to do with a rebrand or &quot;new take on an old classic&quot; and more to do with what kind of sets are being released under the same banner. And I think that leads to some messy organization. Admittedly, it's not usually too bad, but I think that we can do a lot better.<br /> <br /> With what I am thinking this will, for example, join all [[Ghostbusters]] products from across the [[Ideas]]/[[Dimensions]]/[[Ghostbusters|Sets]] divide while still allowing it to remain part of those things.<br /> <br /> Feel free to ask questions. I understand that my thinking isn't always so easy to follow, and even if you can, there are sure to be a lot of &quot;what about thises and thatses?&quot;. I'll work on a more precise plan in the mean time. [[User:Berrybrick|Berrybrick]] ([[User talk:Berrybrick|talk]]) 16:45, 16 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> :Okay I am not exactly sure what you are proposing. We could first do what Bricklink does and sort everything under whether its a set, book, video game etc. Having that additional category may be helpful. Then each theme could include sets, video games, clothing etc.<br /> <br /> :What comes to mind is allowing sets to have more than one theme, so the Dimensions pack would be in the Dimensions and the Ghostbusters themes. It solves the problem, but it makes sorting more confusing.<br /> <br /> :Maybe we should make a new category for things which span more than one theme/system.<br /> <br /> :*[http://www.bricklink.com/catalogTreeCat.asp?catID=166 LEGO Education] (Dacta), at school a few years ago we had old TECHNIC Dacta. But looking at Bricklink, there is also Dacta which uses System, DUPLO and Jumbo Bricks.<br /> :*Not just different systems, but themes also. There are Town, Castle and Creator sets that are still Dacta.<br /> :*Dimensions and Ideas are the same. There are different themes under each of these &quot;themes&quot;.<br /> <br /> :Maybe we should stop thinking of Education/Dacta, Ideas, Brickheadz and Dimensions as themes and instead as lines, like you said. So a set can still only be part of one theme, but can also be part of one of these additional categories.<br /> <br /> :You mentioned Speedorz, I don't understand what is wrong with having those under Chima, as on the boxes they say Chima Speedorz. The Town theme is long gone now, so really I suppose City sets actually replaced the Town theme. I need to think it through more, maybe draw up some diagrams showing all the different themes.<br /> <br /> :I don't know if that reply helps much, I'm not very good at collecting my thoughts together!

I'm glad you seem to be. :P<br /> ::*I had forgotten all about Dacta. That would be classified a toyline, at least in my thinking. That way it can encompass different themes, but those themes could still have regular products. Sort of like Ghostbusters having sets in its own theme, Ideas, and Dimensions. Does that make sense?<br /> ::*Speedorz would still be under Chima. I'm thinking that the banner on set pages which currently goes like [{System -&gt; Legends of Chima -&gt; Speedorz}] would instead be more like [{Speedorz -&gt; Legends of Chima -&gt; {subtheme}]. We could keep thinking of them as a subtheme and it wouldn't be the end of the world (especially since only Chima gets them), but I suppose my thought there comes more from thinking that we ought to do something about subtheme coming to mean &quot;special kinds of sets within regular theme&quot; rather than &quot;rebranded version of the theme&quot;.<br /> ::*On City/Town: Yeah, I'm not sure how clear I was, but the thing about Black Falcons was that that more or less replaced Castle, and then Black Falcons was in turn replaced by something else. We treat Castle, Space, and Pirates as superthemes and (almost) every new incarnation as a subtheme. By that logic, City would be a subtheme of the supertheme Town (or we could even call the supertheme City if people wanted to; though Town is more historical). Supertheming is a practice that, at least for those four themes, I like, but it has sort of started to teeter off with the way that people have started to think of subthemes.<br /> ::*I'd be happy to see what you come up with.

I guess that if there is really nothing better to put in the theme box DUPLO can go there--since that is probably what'll happen with TECHNIC anyway--but with the magic of wikilinks, it really won't be at the loss of any functionality or maneuverability. All of the articles which are linked to and from [[DUPLO]] now would be then.

Put me down for a neutral for now, I probably need to reread it again :)<br /> ** The whole subtheme thing started because the online LEGO Shop originally used to group stuff into subthemes, eg check the sidebar [https://web.archive.org/web/20040727121429/http://shop.lego.com/product.asp?p=7124 here]. The whole Toy Story both being a supertheme for all Toy Story movies and a Toy Story 1 subtheme is probably a mistake on our part. Although for some reason I seem to remember that Cars and Toy Story used to have bars that went &quot;Cars&quot; for Cars 1 sets and &quot;Cars &gt; Cars 2&quot; for Cars 2 sets. I could be wrong though. I'm pretty certain PoTC used to have a bar that went &quot;Pirates of the Caribbean&quot; for POTC 1-3 sets and &quot;Pirates of the Caribbean &gt; Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides&quot; for the 4th though. [https://web.archive.org/web/20040720044606/http://shop.lego.com/leaf.asp?cn=30&amp;d=7&amp;t=3&amp;Type=4 Spider-Man] on the other hand did seem to group them separately- Spider-Man was one theme, Spider-Man 2 was another. So that was definitely our mistake.

We don't have to do anything about it right now. And @Toylines, I guess that I saw the term used in a different capacity yesterday and sort of ran with it.... Anyway, thanks for the correction about where subthemes come from. I guess I just didn't expect that they would be so thoroughly added retroactively. Part of my text wall was that we don't seem to identify subthemes by the same conventions anymore, and I would sort of like to get back to that, which is why I was distinguishing toylines (and hopefully not making it more confusing by making them something new :P). I hope that makes a reread easier. :P [[User:Berrybrick|Berrybrick]] ([[User talk:Berrybrick|talk]]) 03:08, 17 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> <br /> I suppose the level of organisation we can achieve depends on whether you want to keep the theme names &quot;official&quot;. Looking at the Toy Story sets, all the boxes say Disney on them, so this is how I would organise it:<br /> *Disney &gt; Toy Story ([[:File:7590 alt1.png]])<br /> *Disney &gt; Toy Story 3 ([[:File:7789 Lotso's Dump Truck box.png]])<br /> Nowhere on the Toy Story 3 box does it imply that Toy Story 3 is a subtheme of Toy Story (although after reading the text above maybe the LEGO website did).<br /> <br /> I may be taking this a bit too seriously, but being a wiki admin for four years now makes me want to categorise everything correctly. So this is my suggestion for better organising of sets:-<br /> *'''What it is''' - Set, videogame, boardgame, t-shirt, pen etc etc.<br /> **'''System of construction''' (for the items above that include bricks) - [[System]], [[TECHNIC]], [[DUPLO]], [[QUATRO]], [[Modulex]], [[Jumbo Bricks]], [[Galidor]], [[Scala]] - '''one only per set''' (these are all different methods of construction, correct me if I'm wrong but AFAIK in every set the majority of bricks belong to one of these)<br /> *'''Theme''' - so [[Disney]] &gt; [[Toy Story]] - '''only one final theme per set''' (maybe not assigning a theme to every set might help organisation for generic DUPLO and TECHNIC sets)<br /> *'''Toyline''' (or whatever you want to call it) - [[Dacta]], [[BrickHeadz]], [[Collectable Minifigures]], [[Ideas]], [[Dimensions]] etc - Not related to theme, a set can belong to one of these as well as a theme.<br /> I know this will require a lot of work to re-categorise sets, but if we want the system to make more sense then that might be inevitable. Please consider this, I will now find some examples for this. [[User:Lachlan|Lachlan]] ([[User talk:Lachlan|talk]]) 10:43, 19 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> <br /> <br /> So, here we are. I'm going to use subheadings.<br /> ;Themes<br /> *What is a theme? Is it a general term for a grouping of thematically related sets? Sometimes we use it as such, but I think the best thing to go by is either a) what LEGO say or b) how LEGO brand it. So [[Airport]] is a no, for example. That was just made because its nice for a database to group Airplane related sets together.<br /> *&quot;So a set can still only be part of one theme,&quot; Disagree. Some sets get redefined themes midway through their existence, especially those in the &quot;box of bricks&quot; sort of category, when LEGO decides to rebrand it every couple of years, but still have the old sets to sell :P<br /> ;Subthemes<br /> *I agree that we only use subtheme because Brickset/Bricklink/etc do. Because, lets be honest, when I made pages at least, I just copied the information from them...<br /> *The issue with subthemes comes from this unofficialness. I was going to bring this months ago, but we use them as umbrella terms, like Berry says. The only reason we call those 80s Castle lines subthemes is because they are Castle based. So why not Nexo Knights? I don't know.<br /> *&quot;we don't record an Outlands subtheme for Legends of Chima or a Rebooted one for Ninjago&quot;. This is literally only because we make the pages before we know they are &quot;subthemes&quot;. If we were making them 10 years done the line we probably would :P<br /> *&quot;DUPLO and City list all their subthemes on their websites, otherwise things are in fact pretty vague for unlicensed themes.&quot; DUPLO has themes, not subthemes (although its confusing as they also have apparently themeless sets...). For what its worth, City website doesn't actually call them subthemes either.<br /> *&quot;Although for some reason I seem to remember that Cars and Toy Story used to have bars that went &quot;Cars&quot; for Cars 1 sets and &quot;Cars &gt; Cars 2&quot; for Cars 2 sets.&quot; It would say Cars for Cars 1 because Cars 1 was called Cars? :P Same with Toy Story<br /> ** Well yeah, I guess now you say it Cars &gt; Cars would look a bit weird. Guess we should have picked up on that and had &quot;Toy Story&quot; and &quot;Toy Story (subtheme)&quot; {{User:NovaHawk/sig}} 00:55, 23 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> ;Toylines<br /> *These are a historical relic here.<br /> *They were nominally to divide system based sets and duplo based sets. Even in the 90s boxes said System on them and stuff. But that doesn't mean its a linear thing. Lines are blurred. Is Architecture a system theme because its using system bricks? Or is it not because they are clearly different styles of set from the sets that used to say &quot;System&quot; on them.<br /> *Berry raises an interesting point about &quot;action figures&quot; and &quot;toys to life&quot; and stuff. I'm not sure my thoughts on it.<br /> *&quot;Okay I am not exactly sure what you are proposing. We could first do what Bricklink does and sort everything under whether its a set, book, video game etc. Having that additional category may be helpful. Then each theme could include sets, video games, clothing etc.&quot; This to an extent happens already. Its just instead of &quot;sets&quot; we are using System/DUPLO/TECHNIC/whatever for sets.<br /> *Education sets confuse things even more...<br /> <br /> ;Lachlan's idea at the bottom<br /> *The perils of writing this as I read them is that I didn't see this until I wrote all that stuff above.<br /> *Anyway, I'm interested in it. May I suggest we look at some sets (at random) to work out how they'd get classified, to ensure that this idea will work fully? <br /> <br /> [[User:CJC95|CJC95]] ([[User talk:CJC95|talk]]) 14:41, 19 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Another problem I have just noticed is that the early sets from the [[Bob the Builder]] theme are &quot;Explore&quot; sets, and the later ones are not, meaning the Bob the Builder theme actually has sets in two different themes, if that makes sense.[[User:Lachlan|Lachlan]] ([[User talk:Lachlan|talk]]) 16:08, 19 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> *According to the page, [[Explore]] was formed by merging DUPLO and Baby, and lasted two years, before it went back to being DUPLO. [[User:CJC95|CJC95]] ([[User talk:CJC95|talk]]) 16:33, 19 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Hm, how should I format this?<br /> :'''@Lachlan (post 2)''': This is very close to what I was thinking. Except &quot;What it is&quot; is what I was calling a Toyline. So my hierarchy would go like this:<br /> :*'''Toyline''' or '''What it is''' - &quot;Gear&quot; or &quot;Miscellaneous&quot; being used to lump together things like pens and T-shirts, though if we wanted those to be their own thing, I guess now would be the time to do it.<br /> ::*'''System of Construction''' - Thanks for that term; the parts it is made from, being System, TECHNIC, DUPLO, CCBS, or whatever. I should note that I don't envision this appearing on the banner because DUPLO, TECHNIC, and a lot of minor Systems are also what we could call themes or toylines.<br /> :*'''Theme'''<br /> :*'''Subtheme'''<br /> :If there is a supertheme applicable (like Castle to Black Falcons) that would be the theme, but I suppose the confusing thing is that you can get &quot;more sub&quot; and have a subtheme of a subtheme because subthemes and superthemes ''are'' themes; they are just sub- or super-. With that in mind, I don't think that there will be a problem of things being broken down too far. As an example, &quot;DUPLO &gt; Super Heroes &gt; Marvel &gt; Spider-Man&quot; (again an example; I'm not suggesting that we divvy up the Super Heroes line like that right now).<br /> :I'm not too worried about working out the subtheme nesting right now. Grouping all of the Disney sets (except Marvel and Star Wars, probably) under a Disney supertheme wouldn't be a bad idea though.<br /> :'''@CJC (14:41)''': I think we are on the same page, but you explain what is wrong with the system much more clearly than I did. Thanks.<br /> :'''@Lachlan (16:08)''': There are a couple of ways I can see to solve that using Toyline &gt; Theme &gt; Subtheme<br /> :*&lt;s&gt;We could consider Explore and Baby themes which are part of the DUPLO toyline and Bob the Builder an Explore subtheme. When the set is part of Explore, it would go &quot;DUPLO &gt; Explore &gt; Bob the Builder&quot;. When it isn't, it would go &quot;DUPLO &gt; Bob the Builder&quot;.&lt;/s&gt;<br /> :*Alternatively, we could consider Explore and Baby toylines. Then, &quot;Explore &gt; Bob the Builder&quot; or &quot;DUPLO &gt; Bob the Builder&quot; depending on the set.<br /> ::&lt;small&gt;I thought CJC was saying that DUPLO was Baby and Explore. If Explore is Baby and DUPLO, then it should be a toyline.&lt;/small&gt;<br /> :That was what I was trying to get across with the piece about Ghostbusters where right now we consider the Ideas and Dimensions sets as separate from the ones in the main theme. The idea is that different sets which are considered part of the same theme don't all need to be broken down in the same boxes to be together; they just have to fit one group, the theme, and the rest can be Venn diagrams.<br /> [[User:Berrybrick|Berrybrick]] ([[User talk:Berrybrick|talk]]) 19:25, 19 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> ::It's worth noting that (at least recently), those issues haven't been a problem on say, DC Super Heroes - The system, duplo and juniors pages all have that as a theme atm. [[User:CJC95|CJC95]] ([[User talk:CJC95|talk]]) 20:16, 19 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> :::I kind of have an issue with the Juniors pages because they consider DC a subtheme of Juniors when it isn't - at least not in the same way Black Falcons is a Castle subtheme - but the [[10545 Batcave Adventure|DUPLO]] and [[6858 Catwoman Catcycle City Chase|System]] ones are very similar to what I'm pushing for. [[User:Berrybrick|Berrybrick]] ([[User talk:Berrybrick|talk]]) 23:21, 19 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> ::Just a quick reply to Berrybrick as its getting late here, If people agree then I am happy to work on creating a Disney &quot;supertheme&quot;. That eliminates the Toy Story and Toy Story 3 problem. Although I didn't realise that Marvel was owned by Disney, and Star Wars has sub-themes itself so it could get messy. But I think it would be better personally. 21:40, 19 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> :::Would Star Wars come under Disney? If so, what about sets from before the Disney purchase? [[User:CJC95|CJC95]] ([[User talk:CJC95|talk]]) 21:46, 19 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> ::::There is already [[Disney]]. You could just turn that page into the supertheme. The history section nearly covers everything already, and I'd be happy to expand that a bit if you don't want to. I don't think that Star Wars and Marvel should be a part of it though because it's more about franchise than ownership, I think. The Disney stuff sort of crosses over with itself with things like the CMFs and Princesses (especially with Ariel in both) whilst Marvel and Star Wars stay self contained. Also, would want to include Pirates of the Caribbean, Prince of Persia, and Lone Ranger or keep it to animated stuff? And what about Disney Princesses and all of those DUPLO shows? I'd say include, though maybe group the DUPLO shows into a Disney Junior subtheme? I don't know. [[User:Berrybrick|Berrybrick]] ([[User talk:Berrybrick|talk]]) 23:21, 19 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> *Besides the TECHNIC/DUPLO thing we have now, what Brickset groups as miscelanious [http://brickset.com/browse/sets here] is ''mostly'' what I am talking about as a toyline, plus some other things like Juniors and probably most of the &quot;vintage themes&quot;, &quot;pre-school&quot;, and &quot;technical&quot;...I guess that most of the confusing stuff like Architecture, Creator, and Bulk Bricks could just stay under System. There really isn't a problem with that now. \_O_/ [[User:Berrybrick|Berrybrick]] ([[User talk:Berrybrick|talk]]) 04:27, 20 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> * I think whoever had the Toyline &gt; System of Construction &gt; Theme &gt; Subtheme is on the right track (I can't tell who's writing what in some areas). Plus it seems to be pretty much what we have but with an extra parameter so would be easier to change over. Not sure how I feel about Disney being a supertheme, I think it should be just for Disney stuff that doesn't already have a theme and stick Disney in the &quot;related themes&quot; field. Plus I like having Cars and Cars 2- that's how they were assigned officially and I think shorter lists make it easier to read. I think there was a suggestion above to scrap all subthemes- strongly against this. Firstly many of these were officially assigned, why not use them? But then there's ease of navigation to consider- say you were a casual reader looking for a Star Wars set, you didn't know what the set was called but you knew what movie it was from. Would you rather go through a list of 500+ sets in Category:Star Wars sets, but a list of 10-80 by looking at the subtheme category? @Berrybrick- I know what you mean about Juniors and Friends/DC/Marvel being treated as subthemes, that's an awkward one (I don't have any ideas on what to do) {{User:NovaHawk/sig}} 00:55, 23 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> :* Yeah, I've decided that Cars/Cars 2 doesn't really bother me. Sometimes you organize documents on a computer like that, so it's not a big deal. It might actually be confusing to do it any other way (aside from making Disney a supertheme, but I'm with you that I personally prefer that being separate, but that's only personally). I don't think there was a suggestion to scrap subthemes (aside from maybe things like [[Airport]]; CJC would have to comment on that), though I can see where you'd get that, it was more that our of idea of a subtheme has changed and become a bit inconsistent over the years and that we aren't using them to their full advantage because of it. But if I did happen to miss a petition to scrap them--again, I agree with you. I go through that process all the time. :P As for Juniors, my solution is to expand our definition of toyline to include things like Juniors because it's a ''line'' of ''toys'' that includes Friends and SH ''theme''d sets. :P So the banner would go Juniors (System) -&gt; Friends, or something like that. CJC seemed a bit iffy on that idea. I'd like your input too.

A couple of things:<br /> :*We did discuss the possibility of publishing editorials through Brickipedia News before. Either of those blogs could probably work there. I'd still choose to publish mine separately though, because some of them have a moralizing element (it might be small in these ones, but there are a couple of ideas I have which might be a bit larger) and I don't think that a LEGO news source ought to be doing that. Disclaimers are a thing for a reason though.<br /> :*In the main page section above, I almost suggested a list of recent blogs to replace the recent forums. That wouldn't be enough promotion, but here I am suggesting it now<br /> :*Creating a user blog isn't as intuitive here as it was at wikia. That would have to change if we want to promote people writing.<br /> :*I'll probably comment again later when I have more speed, but some things to consider: Should this be a part of the &quot;news&quot;?

This relates to pages that are about identical minifigures but are two separate entities (ie, twins).

[[User:SamanthaNguyen|SamanthaNguyen]] ([[User talk:SamanthaNguyen|talk]]) 02:23, 21 September 2016 (UTC)<br /> * Here's my opinion, it may not make sense- I don't know why but I'm finding this strangely hard to explain :D<br /> ** I don't see why we need to make a special exception here- all our other pages done in a singular form, just because they're twins, doesn't mean they should be treated as one entity as they're still two individuals.<br /> ** There's the simple logistics of it- if the article is about two minifigures, how many should you say appear in the set? Kabuki Twins (two) could mean two groups of two. Then on the minifigure page for accessories- if you say the minifigure has two claws, does that mean two total (ie, one each) or two each?<br /> ** In the case of the Skull Twins and Kabuki Twins who don't have a backgrounds or personalities distinctly different from each other, it makes no sense to have pages like &quot;Kabuki Twin 1&quot; and &quot;Kabuki Twin 2&quot; since they'd be completely identical. Fred and George are different since they do, and also have separate video game characters as well.<br /> *** So why not use the plural on the &quot;xxx Twins&quot;? We're talking about minifigures here, not the characters, and apart from the background, the page should be &quot;out of universe&quot;. Since neither of these are Siamese twins, we're getting two separate identical copies of a single minifigure, just like we get two identical unnamed Stormtrooper minifigures or whatever so I don't see why this case needs to be treated differently.<br /> :Again, sorry if that makes absolutely no sense :P Basically, per Sam. {{User:NovaHawk/sig}} 02:30, 21 September 2016 (UTC)<br /> :Eh....<br /> :*Logistical stuff:<br /> ::*Concern about Appearance section is granted, though I don't think it is an insolvable problem. Perhaps indicating &quot;both&quot; instead of &quot;two&quot; would do it.<br /> ::*I don't think that the Accessories concern is very legitimate though. If Batman comes with one batarang in a set but two in another, what do we do? I don't think we have to spell it out so much. Just put down &quot;Claws.&quot; Descriptors like quantity and especially color seem sort of arbitrary to me; there should be pictures (or at least links to relevant pages) which show exactly what they come with.<br /> :*&quot;Two separate identical copies of a single minifigure&quot;: I don't know if I can reply to this in any way which is meaningful because my brain goes to Platonism.... A lot of the Ninjago ghosts are the same minifigure but have different names across the sets, yet we still consider them separate even if they are functionally indistinguishable. Same thing with Fred and George.<br /> ::*Definitely agreed about the backgrounds being what would keep functionally identical twins on the same page; I'd agree to &quot;Kabuki Twin&quot; long before splitting them.<br /> :*What I think I disagree about is the philosophy behind the out of universe policy, at least here. With backgrounds it makes a lot of sense to me, but I tend to think of minifigures (at least ones with story roles) as being avatars or icons of the characters they represent, retaining a portion of that identity, and then communicating it through their design.<br /> ::*This is why, I think, we allow the Ninjago Ghosts to have their own pages and why we do not have an article for every separate variant of every minifigure (aside from practicality, of course).<br /> ::*And then, and this is what I was trying to articulate on the talk page earlier, being a Twin is ''part'' of that integral identity for the Kabuki Twins. That is an essential part of who they are. Like, I probably would say that they are &quot;one [inseparable] entity that is two individuals.&quot; Fred and George don't have that, and neither do the Stormtroopers. The Skull Twins may be a little different, for reasons noted on the article, so I could agree with the Stormtrooper analogy there, but it could probably go both ways. The Kabuki Twins are one indivisible character, but part of that character is being twofold; one personality, two bodies, perhaps.<br /> :Sorry if ''this'' makes no sense.

The Weasley twins are two people that are not functionally identical - they're two distinguishable (perhaps not visibly) people, unlike the Skull Twins and Kabuki Twins.

Keep in mind if you do go with option 2, there will be ''a lot'' of articles pointlessly linking to disambiguation pages because of what we're already established in those individual cases- think about all the pages linking to articles like [[Batman]], [[Spider-Man]], [[Harry Potter]] and [[Marvel]] to name a few off the top of my head- there are around 2000 pages linking to those four articles alone (I don't know if that's directly, but there are definitely a good portion of them that do). @Nigma: Not sure what you mean about &quot;currently mos-compliant&quot; since it's not even in the MoS. These are the I guess the &quot;current trends&quot; of what does seem to happen with names:<br /> ** Physical minifigures generally take precedence over obscure video game characters, eg, ([[Chen]] vs [[Chen (Indiana Jones)]])<br /> ** Themes generally take precedence over minifigures, eg, [[Indiana Jones]] goes to the theme, not the minifigure.<br /> *** The exception to this seems to be for minifigures which also appear in more modern themes, such as [[Batman]] and [[Spider-Man]] since they're minifigures in the current Super Heroes themes (as opposed to the links going to old discontinued themes)<br /> ** There are also cases where the page link goes to a disambig page, for example [[X-wing]] and [[Woman]], because there isn't any page going to be clearly more used.<br /> :Anyway, basically why I think option 1 is a better idea {{C|even if we did have a bot that could clean up the thousands of links if we went with the second option}} is that as far as I can see, there are two things that need to be considered here:<br /> :# '''Ease of a reader finding a page through searching''' - if someone enters &quot;Marvel&quot; into a search box, 99.5% of the time they're going to want to find out about the [[Marvel Super Heroes]] theme, not that Marvel is a comic book company. Why make them click an extra link for no reason? Even for cases like Batman, most people are going to be looking for the guy currently being sold in sets and the star of an upcoming movie, not for some discontinued theme from 10 years ago (some people searching may not have even been born when the theme came out). It's not like they can't find the other page(s) if they needed to, there should always be one of those &quot;&quot;Marvel redirects here. For other uses of the term, see Marvel (disambiguation)/For the company, see Marvel (company)&quot; type messages at the top of the page.<br /> :# '''Ease of editors being able to link to a page''' - While I think the above is much more important, even something as simple as &lt;nowiki&gt;[[Batman]] vs [[Batman (minifigure)|Batman]]&lt;/nowiki&gt; seems like an unnecessary amount of extra typing (especially if you're making multiple pages in a row).<br /> :I'm not actually sure if I'm even awake while I'm typing this, so I'm going to stop now in case it makes no sense :P {{User:NovaHawk/sig}} 04:31, 5 October 2016 (UTC)<br /> :I'll go with NovaHawk on this.

By default it generates images which are 50px in size, or simply put, too small to be useful to anyone.

That's an intermittent JavaScript issue, which sometimes happens (regardless of your platform); refreshing the page fixes it pretty much always.&lt;br /&gt;I somewhat agree with your conclusion about the images on mobile devices, although I'd be inclined to blame [[mw:Skin:Refreshed|the skin]] rather than the images &amp;mdash; not being able to collapse/expand the sidebar on demand&lt;sup&gt;[sic]&lt;/sup&gt; on mobile devices is problem, as there's less screen real estate than on a laptop (think about it, a 5-6&quot; mobile device vs. 10-15&quot; laptop screen vs. 27&quot; desktop screen...). Given that the toggle to collapse/expand the sidebar already exists (for really small screens, ie. my mobile device in portrait mode, as opposed to in landscape mode), we could simply show it for all screen resolutions instead, which would then allow users to regain some precious screen space when viewing larger (=wider) pages, such as set listings. --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] ([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|talk]]) 19:58, 17 October 2016 (UTC)<br /> *** A related ticket (except for content sections @[[phab:T143511|T143511]]), although I support the idea of collapsable sidebars for all resolutions, would require some rethinking some of the header interface though, because we'll need a button somewhere on there for opening and closing the sidebar menu. As for images on mobile devices (even though I feel like all the data in ThemeTables could be displayed in a better way visually (that's for another day)) I think that we could use a media screen query(&lt;code&gt;@media screen&lt;/code&gt;) to define image sizes based on screen sizes.

It also makes references to ''[[Wikipedia:The New Scooby-Doo Movies|Scooby-Doo Meets Batman]]''. There is no real guideline specifying what exactly should be done regarding the character, given the fact that there are so many different (major: Earth-One, New Earth, Prime Earth) variations, covered or not by LEGO media. Since [[76052 Batman Classic TV Series - Batcave]] includes the Silver Age, Earth-One (I believe) Batman, we should have a short description for that incarnation of Batman, one for the New Earth Batman, since the original Batman theme was released during its run and [[LEGO Batman: The Videogame]]'s Batcomputer facts are based around the New Earth canon, and Prime Earth due to New 52 elements being used in the [[DC Comics Super Heroes]] line and games. It would be confusing, but it is much more factual than implying that the New Earth Batman and Prime Earth [[Ace the Bathound]] teamed up with Earth-One [[Scooby-Doo|Mystery, Inc.]] to foil the Joker's plans. Or perhaps we should only have the LEGO media-only backgrounds for such characters. But regardless, a guideline ''will'' be necessary.

Anyway, here are some thoughts:<br /> :::*[[BP:NOT]]<br /> :::*I think it makes sense, in a lot of cases (i.e. Star Wars, Harry Potter, Indiana Jones, Ninjago) for characters to have ''some'' account of their character development. Comic characters are a little different though, because most of the really notable ones have very little permanent canon beyond their origin.<br /> :::*Even doing it in the context of &quot;LEGO&quot; probably won't work: We've got different Batmans between the sets, video games, DVD specials, magazines, and the cinematic movies.<br /> ::::*If we had to pick one, I'd go with video games, at least primarily. They generally give most attention to the universe, I think.<br /> ::::*Speaking of which, if the article is tremendously messy, we could split the page into &quot;Batman&quot; and &quot;Batman (The LEGO Movie).&quot; That ''might'' mean doing the same for Robin, Batgirl, Joker, Alfred, and everyone else too, but some sort of notability policy might help take care of that.<br /> :::*My thought is that, for sanity's sake, a background should explain the character's place in the larger world as far as it is stable. For Batman, that would be his origin, what he's about, relations to characters like the Robins/Batgirl/Alfred, the Justice League, Gotham City, and his Rogues Gallery. How detailed do you get though?<br /> ::::*The issue is that this probably wouldn't make for a very good read. There might be some articles or websites we could find to get an idea of how to write like that, though.<br /> ::::*And then, what do we do with the video game and movie versions? They probably shouldn't be the plot summaries that they are now; save those for the game/movie articles themselves.<br /> :::So that's what I've got for now. Might have more thoughts later. [[User:Berrybrick|Berrybrick]] ([[User talk:Berrybrick|talk]]) 21:27, 22 October 2016 (UTC)<br /> ::::By &quot;in the context of LEGO&quot;, I didn't mean the sets, as those do not have a real, larger story. I was thinking perhaps backgrounds in relation to the ''LEGO Batman'' series of games and related media, ''The LEGO Movie'' and derived media, ''The LEGO Batman Movie'', the ''LEGO Justice League'' films and related media, and ''LEGO Dimensions''. Each one of those five topics have their own version(s) of Batman that would need separate sections. Those would certainly be relevant to Brickipedia, as would be articles on the ''Dark Knight'' film series (all three films have at least one set), and the 1966 TV series, which is also directly identified as such (unlike most other sets, it's just &quot;Batman&quot; from Earth-God-Knows-What). I don't think that separating the articles per-theme would be such a great idea, though. Sure, our article on Batman has a section that is essentially the synopsis of all of the hero missions of LBTVG, but I don't think that would do very well as the plot for LBTVG either. It's already too long and detailed, and would need to be expanded further and also need to accommodate the other half of the game, 15 villain missions. That's a personal opinion, however; we don't have a guideline as to [[User:Edward Nigma/Chase McCain|how long backgrounds must be]] and I don't think that's the main focus of this discussion anyway.

Articles don't need to be drowned in detail; that just makes things that are actually informative harder to pick out and causes the page to decay. We have this problem with descriptions too. The background I suggested, though it still has issues I would like to pound out, would tell people who he is without concerning itself with differences that are really quite arbitrary in all of those cases except for maybe ''The Dark Knight'' trilogy because of the way that series' world works (but I'd just ignore it; mention what it's based on in the description, and put an external link to where they can read about that and every other version, because BP:NOT). Batman is a very fluid character; trying to pin down all of these heads (by &quot;earths&quot;) is not necessary. The only version I think needs to be covered in any considerable detail as &quot;separate&quot; from our generibat is the TLM/TLBM version(s), which is why I suggested splitting the article into &quot;Batman&quot; and &quot;Batman (The LEGO Movie)&quot;--and only those two(--though I'm not really for the idea either). As for transposing the stories to the the video game (or whatever) pages; of course it wouldn't be a copy and paste and shouldn't be that detailed, but anything on the Batman article needn't walk through every (or any?) scene. Also, though it is ''really'' just creating another head, the sets do have conflict and therefore elements of a story (albeit basic); yes, it would be chaff to write lines about that one time he saved an alien princess from an amusement park of doom, so let's not do it, but maybe it would be useful if the background could somehow explain how he knows this Joker guy whose face keeps showing up everywhere? Or how he knows these Robin and Flash people who keep showing up?

He hired Robin as his sidekick and they like to fight bad people with weird faces like the Joker.&quot; Plus maybe a small paragraph with a subheading each for the Nolanverse and DCEU universes if deemed necessary? The summary from the video games is good, but the level-by-level account belongs in video game level articles and a smaller more abridged summary would be much better here {{C|although the LB3 summary could do with a ''slight'' expansion :P}}.

This is a bit messed up. At the time the rule came in, there was only one &quot;content namespace&quot;- the mainspace (this is why the templates in the requests say &quot;''x'' edits, ''y'' mainspace&quot;- to check that ''y''&gt;500 for admin requests). However, we now have several namespaces defined as content namespaces in the code- Brickipedia News, Fan, Inventory, Review and Part (at the time the rule was made, &quot;Part&quot; was a part of the mainspace, and the Fan namespace didn't exist- Brickimedia Customs did). So, basically just wondering if we want to re-examine which namespaces should count toward admin requests since so much has changed since the original rule was made. {{User:NovaHawk/sig}} 11:16, 27 November 2016 (UTC)<br /> * Personally, I'd be happy to just make it 500 for any namespace excluding edits in the User/User talk/User blog namespaces.

I don't think that we could UCS on whose request is to be considered valid or not. The entire purpose of the edit requirement is to prevent that sort of business from having to happen, but primarily, to ensure that the user in question is well-versed in managing the primary function of this wiki: mainspace articles. I would not mind that we broaden the usage of the term &quot;mainspace&quot; in this context to encompass the mainspace, inventory, and part namespaces. That is the only real &quot;content&quot; on this site (sorry Reviews and Fan - you're not ''real'' content). I get it, administrators do a lot more than just edit our articles (which is definitely not what administrative rights are required for). Like others have said, yes, it ''would'' be nice to have administrators-to-be having much more knowledge about other parts of the wiki, such as participating in discussions and working with templates, etc. etc. But how would we factor any of that into the URR process? The edit requirement is something simple, something minimal that displays that the user is dedicated enough to qualify for administrator.

On the other hand, I'm against hard-coded edit count requirements, but the fact is that Brickipedia ''is'' a wiki and we need good edits for the site to thrive. One of the strengths of any admin team, but especially ours, is diversity. We have different people with different strengths and interests, and we are all united by our dedication to making Brickipedia '''the''' LEGO wiki. You know how templates work? And you've even created a few new ones on your own? Splendid! You've verified pre-existing inventories and written new ones? Wonderful! Knowledge of both is definitely a plus for any admin candidate, but the lack of edits in a namespace shouldn't necessarily be something to be held against a candidate.&lt;br /&gt;For example, on [[shoutwiki:|ShoutWiki]] we have an extension which enables &quot;sharing&quot; the [[shoutwiki:Help:Contents|help pages from ShoutWiki Hub]] to any other English-language ShoutWiki wiki which does not yet have local help pages ([[shoutwiki:w:nintendogs:Help:Contents|such as this wiki, which was just created yesterday]]). Although this analogy doesn't apply quite as well to well-estabilished, big wikis like Brickipedia, you can see why most ShoutWiki sites probably have a rather small amount of help pages, if any.&lt;br /&gt;I agree with Nova in that edits in the User* namespaces shouldn't count, but as for the rest, why not? Article edits are important, but so is discussing with other editors about potential naming conflicts and such, so most edits to various talkspaces are probably meaningful, too. --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] ([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|talk]]) 20:56, 27 November 2016 (UTC)<br /> * I mean, in many ways Template/File etc are also &quot;content&quot; namespaces. So I'd just remove the content namespace part of it to just say &quot;500 edits&quot;. Then, if they do in the unlikely chance have 493 of those in User talk/User blog, then we can just not support it...

So I've made a template, {{tl|SetsByYear}}, which will just automatically display all sets in a theme by year. Currently it can only support up to 12 years, just want to know if I should bother to expand the number of years it could take before going ahead with it.<br /> <br /> ;Usage<br /> Make a template like normal nav templates with colours etc, using [[Elves]] as an example (so you'd use Template:Elves sets as the name).<br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> {{SetsByYear<br /> |header-background-color = 2A576C <br /> |link = Elves<br /> |link-2 = Set<br /> |pipe-2 = sets<br /> |link-color = FFFFFF<br /> |template-name = Elves sets<br /> |year={{{1}}}<br /> |theme=Elves<br /> |2015|2016|2017}}<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> The only different thing here are the bottom three rows. Don't touch the third-last row, that's what it needs to be. Second-last row is the theme (I'll need to work on something to get stuff working for things with subthemes like Star Wars). The last row is the important one- put down each year the theme had a set released.<br /> <br /> Then, go ahead and use as normal, eg, stick &lt;nowiki&gt;{{Elves sets|2017}}&lt;/nowiki&gt; at the bottom of an article, and it'll show all Elves sets released in 2017, with tabs for other years ([[Template:Elves_sets/test2|example]]).<br /> <br /> And that's it. You literally don't have to type any sets names anywhere and stuff will automatically update. All you have to do is add an extra year to the template when it's known that sets will be released in a future year.<br /> <br /> ;Bad stuff<br /> * Only supports 12 years at the moment (easily changed)<br /> * Sometimes at the moment, sets are broken into smaller categories, eg Star Wars sets are typically broken into sections like &quot;normal sets&quot;, &quot;microfighters&quot;, &quot;planets sets&quot;, UCS sets, etc. This doesn't currently support that, and without making categories, this can't be done reliably as far as I can tell. There would be a way to do manually exclude stuff and add it to a separate section, but that would require some coding knowledge.<br /> <br /> So basically- should we use this template are not?<br /> * If we do use it, where do we want to use it? I mean, it'd be pretty pointless for themes that have only been out for one or two years, should we start after a theme's been going for 4(?) years?<br /> <br /> {{User:NovaHawk/sig}} 06:06, 16 January 2017 (UTC)<br /> :I'll try to take a look at this later. At bullet point 2, shouldn't be that hard I believe, I'll try to come up with something.

I'm not closing it off or anything, but in the event that it doesn't pass, I think we need to look at a server upgrade or switch hosts ASAP so I'm just getting the discussion started now. Our site has been virtually unreadable for weeks- it got a bit better for a while, but it's back to being terrible. We have about [[User_blog:NovaHawk/Editing_spree!|200 articles]] that need shop descriptions/updated images, and there's nothing I can do about it- I've been trying to add a single shop description since January 16 and keep getting the same error nomatter what article I try to edit. If we could get pricing info for an upgrade (I'm guessing only {{ping|Ajraddatz}} could find this out?), or how much it would cost to host on a more reliable server, that'd be a great start. {{User:NovaHawk/sig}} 00:09, 21 January 2017 (UTC)<br /> **For pricing info with our current host, you can view [http://ramnode.com/vps.php this page].

However I don't know much at all about hosting so I'm not really qualified to comment. But as far as I can tell Kumsufi is offering better specs at a cheaper rate aren't they? I've never heard of them, but as long as you or someone on the technical team know they're reliable I don't see a problem with switching. Except, are they based in Canada or France (the flags are there, not sure why). Would that affect speeds with US users (who I'm guessing are our main audience)? {{User:NovaHawk/sig}} 11:49, 21 January 2017 (UTC)<br /> **** Maybe by like (a fraction of) a ms or two. Kimsufi is part of OVH who are a big name in the dedicated server and hosting world. They've got a world wide fiber network. ShoutWiki has a server with Kimsufi (for staff tools, repository hosting, support, etc. All our non-user facing stuff.) and the Uncyclopedia move was or still is to Kimsufi.

However, these days I wouldn't shed a tear if Brickimedia in its current form simply fell apart, and I'm not sure I'm interested in ''volunteering'' my time to do the move myself. That said, if a move happened, I'd prefer it done well. What I don't think people really took away from the move proposal is that Brickipedia would be gaining a team that is experienced in running MediaWiki productions sites and that while you sort of already have two (well, okay, one - Jack) of our team member's attention, but Brickimedia isn't our focus.

I think part of this is because it's a long list, and there are little notes next to everything... it just looks a mess to me. I think it would be much better to group the appearances by each major variant- as it's really only new variants coming out, you can see right away what needs to be added, and it's also more useful if you want to see what set a specific variant appears in. There's an example [[Cole#Appearances|here]] (as opposed to [http://en.brickimedia.org/index.php?title=Cole&amp;oldid=1036027#Appearances here]- note that it's missing about 5 sets on the list). {{User:NovaHawk/sig}} 00:32, 29 June 2016 (UTC)<br /> :Sure. I think that it might be useful to indicate years (i.e. Trainee (2006 - 2007, 2009)) as well as variants. Even just one of those is probably a more sensible way a person will browse than by set number. I do wonder how well this would work for minifigures like Batman who have an absurd amount of one-offs and &quot;New hat!&quot; variants.

Take [[Lloyd]]- his kimono suit comes as a physical minifigure in [[5002816 LEGO Ninjago: Character Encyclopedia]]. Technically, at the moment this should be listed under &quot;Book appearances&quot;, along with novels and other encyclopedia which just mention him or have a picture of him. There's no real way we have to indicate whether a minifigure actually appears or is just mentioned. I think the way to fix this might be to have a subsection of appearances just for video games, books, etc. It'd look something like:<br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> ==Appearances==<br /> * [[9443 Rattlecopter]] {{C|ZX}}<br /> * [[9457 Fangpyre Wrecking Ball]] {{C|ZX}}<br /> * [[5002816 LEGO Ninjago: Character Encyclopedia]] {{C|Kimono}}<br /> ===Gear appearances===<br /> ;Key chains<br /> * [[850442 Lloyd ZX Key Chain]]<br /> ;Clocks<br /> * Lloyd clock<br /> ===Mentions and portrayals===<br /> ;Video games<br /> * ''[[LEGO Ninjago - The Final Battle]]''<br /> ;Television<br /> * ''[[Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu]]''<br /> ** Season 1<br /> *** &quot;[[Rise of the Snakes]]&quot;<br /> ;Books<br /> * [[5002816 LEGO Ninjago: Character Encyclopedia]]<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> Note I've also got a &quot;gear appearances&quot; section for things which physically appear as Lloyd, but aren't 100% a minifigure. Also, the character encyclopedia appears twice because he both appears as a physical minifigure and is pictured/mentioned in the book. {{User:NovaHawk/sig}} 00:32, 29 June 2016 (UTC)<br /> :This makes sense, but I'm not sure about the name.

In my experience, it has mostly shown up on fansites like Brickset and Bricklink where it is used for organization. I wouldn't be surprised to find the term in some official materials, like [[The LEGO Book]], but I would expect that that would be more so because of the of the way that fans use the word. Essentially, [[Black Falcons]] was a revamp of the [[Castle]] theme, and that's what makes it a subtheme. &quot;Black Knights is a Castle theme.&quot; Considering that the sub- prefix means &quot;beneath&quot; or &quot;under&quot;, this makes sense. Castle, in turn, would be an &quot;umbrella&quot; or &quot;supertheme&quot; which also encompasses [[Royal Knights]], [[WolfPack]], and even, though we don't seem to consider it one for some reason, [[Nexo Knights]]. Though I don't know what our current organization is, under this reasoning, City would be a &quot;subtheme&quot; of the Town &quot;supertheme&quot;. This will sometimes show up when themes which we probably would not call &quot;super&quot;, like Adventurers or Alpha Team, get rebranded as &quot;Jungle&quot; or &quot;Deep Sea&quot;. The original version of the theme (just plain Alpha Team) usually gets treated as the &quot;supertheme&quot; because it has nothing particularly special about it (Adventurers being an exception because of the clearly defined desert setting in its first year). This doesn't make much sense because, even if we haven't got a name for it, the first year of Alpha Team releases is as much of a subtheme as the second. In short, a subtheme is a variation on a theme.<br /> <br /> As far as modern themes are concerned, we don't really do this any more from what I can tell though; we don't record an Outlands subtheme for Legends of Chima or a Rebooted one for Ninjago. The only place that we see subthemes now is with licensed themes. [[The Desolation of Smaug]] being a subtheme of [[The Hobbit]] theme. This doesn't always make a ton of sense though. I've noticed recently that [[Toy Story 3]] is a subtheme of [[Toy Story]]. The equation seems to be that since the name of the first movie is the name of the franchise, then the sets based on that first movie are not sub to the franchise like the sets based on the other movie are.<br /> <br /> The third point that I wanted to address is toylines, which we usually classify by the building elements they use. I think that this is should be more about what sort of product they are delivering. For example, [[Constraction]] is a building system, not a toyline, so we would classify BIONICLE, Galidor, etc. sets as part of an Action Figures, Constraction Figures, [[Ultrabuild]], or whatever toyline. Collectable Minifigures would be one. I think that sets like [[71241 Slimer Fun Pack]] should be considered part of a Dimensions, Video Games, or Toys to Life toyline with Ghostbusters as the theme. And [[Ideas]] would be handled a similar way, I think. Probably things like the new [[BrickHeadz: Batman and The Joker|BrickHeadz]], too, and maybe Mighty Micros and MicroFighters. Ninjago spinners and Chima speedorz would be toylines. Friends and Elves would be &quot;Girlz only no boys allowed!!1!1&quot;. The question I guess is sort of how to go about this because if I would consider Ideas a toyline, then what toyline would &quot;normal&quot; sets like City and non-spinner Ninjago classify under? &quot;Classic&quot; or &quot;what it's always been&quot; I guess, unless we wanted to equate superthemes like Town, Castle, and Pirates to toylines, which might make sense.<br /> <br /> So yeah, that's my overanalysis. Accept it or not, I think that we need to question what &quot;theme&quot; means. Because right now, it seems to have less to do with a rebrand or &quot;new take on an old classic&quot; and more to do with what kind of sets are being released under the same banner. And I think that leads to some messy organization. Admittedly, it's not usually too bad, but I think that we can do a lot better.<br /> <br /> With what I am thinking this will, for example, join all [[Ghostbusters]] products from across the [[Ideas]]/[[Dimensions]]/[[Ghostbusters|Sets]] divide while still allowing it to remain part of those things.<br /> <br /> Feel free to ask questions. I understand that my thinking isn't always so easy to follow, and even if you can, there are sure to be a lot of &quot;what about thises and thatses?&quot;. I'll work on a more precise plan in the mean time. [[User:Berrybrick|Berrybrick]] ([[User talk:Berrybrick|talk]]) 16:45, 16 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> :Okay I am not exactly sure what you are proposing. We could first do what Bricklink does and sort everything under whether its a set, book, video game etc. Having that additional category may be helpful. Then each theme could include sets, video games, clothing etc.<br /> <br /> :What comes to mind is allowing sets to have more than one theme, so the Dimensions pack would be in the Dimensions and the Ghostbusters themes. It solves the problem, but it makes sorting more confusing.<br /> <br /> :Maybe we should make a new category for things which span more than one theme/system.<br /> <br /> :*[http://www.bricklink.com/catalogTreeCat.asp?catID=166 LEGO Education] (Dacta), at school a few years ago we had old TECHNIC Dacta. But looking at Bricklink, there is also Dacta which uses System, DUPLO and Jumbo Bricks.<br /> :*Not just different systems, but themes also. There are Town, Castle and Creator sets that are still Dacta.<br /> :*Dimensions and Ideas are the same. There are different themes under each of these &quot;themes&quot;.<br /> <br /> :Maybe we should stop thinking of Education/Dacta, Ideas, Brickheadz and Dimensions as themes and instead as lines, like you said. So a set can still only be part of one theme, but can also be part of one of these additional categories.<br /> <br /> :You mentioned Speedorz, I don't understand what is wrong with having those under Chima, as on the boxes they say Chima Speedorz. The Town theme is long gone now, so really I suppose City sets actually replaced the Town theme. I need to think it through more, maybe draw up some diagrams showing all the different themes.<br /> <br /> :I don't know if that reply helps much, I'm not very good at collecting my thoughts together!

I'm glad you seem to be. :P<br /> ::*I had forgotten all about Dacta. That would be classified a toyline, at least in my thinking. That way it can encompass different themes, but those themes could still have regular products. Sort of like Ghostbusters having sets in its own theme, Ideas, and Dimensions. Does that make sense?<br /> ::*Speedorz would still be under Chima. I'm thinking that the banner on set pages which currently goes like [{System -&gt; Legends of Chima -&gt; Speedorz}] would instead be more like [{Speedorz -&gt; Legends of Chima -&gt; {subtheme}]. We could keep thinking of them as a subtheme and it wouldn't be the end of the world (especially since only Chima gets them), but I suppose my thought there comes more from thinking that we ought to do something about subtheme coming to mean &quot;special kinds of sets within regular theme&quot; rather than &quot;rebranded version of the theme&quot;.<br /> ::*On City/Town: Yeah, I'm not sure how clear I was, but the thing about Black Falcons was that that more or less replaced Castle, and then Black Falcons was in turn replaced by something else. We treat Castle, Space, and Pirates as superthemes and (almost) every new incarnation as a subtheme. By that logic, City would be a subtheme of the supertheme Town (or we could even call the supertheme City if people wanted to; though Town is more historical). Supertheming is a practice that, at least for those four themes, I like, but it has sort of started to teeter off with the way that people have started to think of subthemes.<br /> ::*I'd be happy to see what you come up with.

I guess that if there is really nothing better to put in the theme box DUPLO can go there--since that is probably what'll happen with TECHNIC anyway--but with the magic of wikilinks, it really won't be at the loss of any functionality or maneuverability.

The whole Toy Story both being a supertheme for all Toy Story movies and a Toy Story 1 subtheme is probably a mistake on our part. Although for some reason I seem to remember that Cars and Toy Story used to have bars that went &quot;Cars&quot; for Cars 1 sets and &quot;Cars &gt; Cars 2&quot; for Cars 2 sets. I could be wrong though. I'm pretty certain PoTC used to have a bar that went &quot;Pirates of the Caribbean&quot; for POTC 1-3 sets and &quot;Pirates of the Caribbean &gt; Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides&quot; for the 4th though. [https://web.archive.org/web/20040720044606/http://shop.lego.com/leaf.asp?cn=30&amp;d=7&amp;t=3&amp;Type=4 Spider-Man] on the other hand did seem to group them separately- Spider-Man was one theme, Spider-Man 2 was another. So that was definitely our mistake.

We don't have to do anything about it right now. And @Toylines, I guess that I saw the term used in a different capacity yesterday and sort of ran with it.... Anyway, thanks for the correction about where subthemes come from. I guess I just didn't expect that they would be so thoroughly added retroactively. Part of my text wall was that we don't seem to identify subthemes by the same conventions anymore, and I would sort of like to get back to that, which is why I was distinguishing toylines (and hopefully not making it more confusing by making them something new :P). I hope that makes a reread easier. :P [[User:Berrybrick|Berrybrick]] ([[User talk:Berrybrick|talk]]) 03:08, 17 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> <br /> I suppose the level of organisation we can achieve depends on whether you want to keep the theme names &quot;official&quot;. Looking at the Toy Story sets, all the boxes say Disney on them, so this is how I would organise it:<br /> *Disney &gt; Toy Story ([[:File:7590 alt1.png]])<br /> *Disney &gt; Toy Story 3 ([[:File:7789 Lotso's Dump Truck box.png]])<br /> Nowhere on the Toy Story 3 box does it imply that Toy Story 3 is a subtheme of Toy Story (although after reading the text above maybe the LEGO website did).<br /> <br /> I may be taking this a bit too seriously, but being a wiki admin for four years now makes me want to categorise everything correctly. So this is my suggestion for better organising of sets:-<br /> *'''What it is''' - Set, videogame, boardgame, t-shirt, pen etc etc.<br /> **'''System of construction''' (for the items above that include bricks) - [[System]], [[TECHNIC]], [[DUPLO]], [[QUATRO]], [[Modulex]], [[Jumbo Bricks]], [[Galidor]], [[Scala]] - '''one only per set''' (these are all different methods of construction, correct me if I'm wrong but AFAIK in every set the majority of bricks belong to one of these)<br /> *'''Theme''' - so [[Disney]] &gt; [[Toy Story]] - '''only one final theme per set''' (maybe not assigning a theme to every set might help organisation for generic DUPLO and TECHNIC sets)<br /> *'''Toyline''' (or whatever you want to call it) - [[Dacta]], [[BrickHeadz]], [[Collectable Minifigures]], [[Ideas]], [[Dimensions]] etc - Not related to theme, a set can belong to one of these as well as a theme.<br /> I know this will require a lot of work to re-categorise sets, but if we want the system to make more sense then that might be inevitable. Please consider this, I will now find some examples for this. [[User:Lachlan|Lachlan]] ([[User talk:Lachlan|talk]]) 10:43, 19 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> <br /> <br /> So, here we are. I'm going to use subheadings.<br /> ;Themes<br /> *What is a theme? Is it a general term for a grouping of thematically related sets? Sometimes we use it as such, but I think the best thing to go by is either a) what LEGO say or b) how LEGO brand it. So [[Airport]] is a no, for example. That was just made because its nice for a database to group Airplane related sets together.<br /> *&quot;So a set can still only be part of one theme,&quot; Disagree. Some sets get redefined themes midway through their existence, especially those in the &quot;box of bricks&quot; sort of category, when LEGO decides to rebrand it every couple of years, but still have the old sets to sell :P<br /> ;Subthemes<br /> *I agree that we only use subtheme because Brickset/Bricklink/etc do. Because, lets be honest, when I made pages at least, I just copied the information from them...<br /> *The issue with subthemes comes from this unofficialness. I was going to bring this months ago, but we use them as umbrella terms, like Berry says. The only reason we call those 80s Castle lines subthemes is because they are Castle based. So why not Nexo Knights? I don't know.<br /> *&quot;we don't record an Outlands subtheme for Legends of Chima or a Rebooted one for Ninjago&quot;. This is literally only because we make the pages before we know they are &quot;subthemes&quot;. If we were making them 10 years done the line we probably would :P<br /> *&quot;DUPLO and City list all their subthemes on their websites, otherwise things are in fact pretty vague for unlicensed themes.&quot; DUPLO has themes, not subthemes (although its confusing as they also have apparently themeless sets...). For what its worth, City website doesn't actually call them subthemes either.<br /> *&quot;Although for some reason I seem to remember that Cars and Toy Story used to have bars that went &quot;Cars&quot; for Cars 1 sets and &quot;Cars &gt; Cars 2&quot; for Cars 2 sets.&quot; It would say Cars for Cars 1 because Cars 1 was called Cars? :P Same with Toy Story<br /> ** Well yeah, I guess now you say it Cars &gt; Cars would look a bit weird.

Even in the 90s boxes said System on them and stuff. But that doesn't mean its a linear thing. Lines are blurred. Is Architecture a system theme because its using system bricks? Or is it not because they are clearly different styles of set from the sets that used to say &quot;System&quot; on them.<br /> *Berry raises an interesting point about &quot;action figures&quot; and &quot;toys to life&quot; and stuff.

I should note that I don't envision this appearing on the banner because DUPLO, TECHNIC, and a lot of minor Systems are also what we could call themes or toylines.<br /> :*'''Theme'''<br /> :*'''Subtheme'''<br /> :If there is a supertheme applicable (like Castle to Black Falcons) that would be the theme, but I suppose the confusing thing is that you can get &quot;more sub&quot; and have a subtheme of a subtheme because subthemes and superthemes ''are'' themes; they are just sub- or super-. With that in mind, I don't think that there will be a problem of things being broken down too far. As an example, &quot;DUPLO &gt; Super Heroes &gt; Marvel &gt; Spider-Man&quot; (again an example; I'm not suggesting that we divvy up the Super Heroes line like that right now).<br /> :I'm not too worried about working out the subtheme nesting right now. Grouping all of the Disney sets (except Marvel and Star Wars, probably) under a Disney supertheme wouldn't be a bad idea though.<br /> :'''@CJC (14:41)''': I think we are on the same page, but you explain what is wrong with the system much more clearly than I did. Thanks.<br /> :'''@Lachlan (16:08)''': There are a couple of ways I can see to solve that using Toyline &gt; Theme &gt; Subtheme<br /> :*&lt;s&gt;We could consider Explore and Baby themes which are part of the DUPLO toyline and Bob the Builder an Explore subtheme. When the set is part of Explore, it would go &quot;DUPLO &gt; Explore &gt; Bob the Builder&quot;. When it isn't, it would go &quot;DUPLO &gt; Bob the Builder&quot;.&lt;/s&gt;<br /> :*Alternatively, we could consider Explore and Baby toylines. Then, &quot;Explore &gt; Bob the Builder&quot; or &quot;DUPLO &gt; Bob the Builder&quot; depending on the set.<br /> ::&lt;small&gt;I thought CJC was saying that DUPLO was Baby and Explore. If Explore is Baby and DUPLO, then it should be a toyline.&lt;/small&gt;<br /> :That was what I was trying to get across with the piece about Ghostbusters where right now we consider the Ideas and Dimensions sets as separate from the ones in the main theme. The idea is that different sets which are considered part of the same theme don't all need to be broken down in the same boxes to be together; they just have to fit one group, the theme, and the rest can be Venn diagrams.<br /> [[User:Berrybrick|Berrybrick]] ([[User talk:Berrybrick|talk]]) 19:25, 19 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> ::It's worth noting that (at least recently), those issues haven't been a problem on say, DC Super Heroes - The system, duplo and juniors pages all have that as a theme atm.

Also, would want to include Pirates of the Caribbean, Prince of Persia, and Lone Ranger or keep it to animated stuff? And what about Disney Princesses and all of those DUPLO shows? I'd say include, though maybe group the DUPLO shows into a Disney Junior subtheme? I don't know. [[User:Berrybrick|Berrybrick]] ([[User talk:Berrybrick|talk]]) 23:21, 19 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> *Besides the TECHNIC/DUPLO thing we have now, what Brickset groups as miscelanious [http://brickset.com/browse/sets here] is ''mostly'' what I am talking about as a toyline, plus some other things like Juniors and probably most of the &quot;vintage themes&quot;, &quot;pre-school&quot;, and &quot;technical&quot;...I guess that most of the confusing stuff like Architecture, Creator, and Bulk Bricks could just stay under System. There really isn't a problem with that now. \_O_/ [[User:Berrybrick|Berrybrick]] ([[User talk:Berrybrick|talk]]) 04:27, 20 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> * I think whoever had the Toyline &gt; System of Construction &gt; Theme &gt; Subtheme is on the right track (I can't tell who's writing what in some areas). Plus it seems to be pretty much what we have but with an extra parameter so would be easier to change over. Not sure how I feel about Disney being a supertheme, I think it should be just for Disney stuff that doesn't already have a theme and stick Disney in the &quot;related themes&quot; field. Plus I like having Cars and Cars 2- that's how they were assigned officially and I think shorter lists make it easier to read. I think there was a suggestion above to scrap all subthemes- strongly against this. Firstly many of these were officially assigned, why not use them? But then there's ease of navigation to consider- say you were a casual reader looking for a Star Wars set, you didn't know what the set was called but you knew what movie it was from. Would you rather go through a list of 500+ sets in Category:Star Wars sets, but a list of 10-80 by looking at the subtheme category? @Berrybrick- I know what you mean about Juniors and Friends/DC/Marvel being treated as subthemes, that's an awkward one (I don't have any ideas on what to do) {{User:NovaHawk/sig}} 00:55, 23 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> :* Yeah, I've decided that Cars/Cars 2 doesn't really bother me. Sometimes you organize documents on a computer like that, so it's not a big deal. It might actually be confusing to do it any other way (aside from making Disney a supertheme, but I'm with you that I personally prefer that being separate, but that's only personally). I don't think there was a suggestion to scrap subthemes (aside from maybe things like [[Airport]]; CJC would have to comment on that), though I can see where you'd get that, it was more that our of idea of a subtheme has changed and become a bit inconsistent over the years and that we aren't using them to their full advantage because of it. But if I did happen to miss a petition to scrap them--again, I agree with you. I go through that process all the time. :P As for Juniors, my solution is to expand our definition of toyline to include things like Juniors because it's a ''line'' of ''toys'' that includes Friends and SH ''theme''d sets. :P So the banner would go Juniors (System) -&gt; Friends, or something like that. CJC seemed a bit iffy on that idea. I'd like your input too.

Also is it possible to split it up into animals, non physical by the other templates we have? And lastly is it possible to make a set version or is that too harsh on the server? {{User:Soupperson1/Sig}}<br /> :(I usually just remove galleries like that.

This relates to pages that are about identical minifigures but are two separate entities (ie, twins). I think we only have three cases- [[Fred Weasley|Fred]] and [[George Weasley]], the [[Skull Twin]]s and the [[Kabuki Twin]]s. {{User:NovaHawk/sig}} 01:30, 21 September 2016 (UTC)<br /> * Per my comment on the talk page, the other twins are actually distinguishable because they have different personalities, backgrounds, and actual different first names. So:<br /> ** If the twins can be distinguished, have different pages.<br /> ** If the twins can't be distinguished, have one page. [[User:SamanthaNguyen|SamanthaNguyen]] ([[User talk:SamanthaNguyen|talk]]) 02:23, 21 September 2016 (UTC)<br /> * Here's my opinion, it may not make sense- I don't know why but I'm finding this strangely hard to explain :D<br /> ** I don't see why we need to make a special exception here- all our other pages done in a singular form, just because they're twins, doesn't mean they should be treated as one entity as they're still two individuals.<br /> ** There's the simple logistics of it- if the article is about two minifigures, how many should you say appear in the set? Kabuki Twins (two) could mean two groups of two. Then on the minifigure page for accessories- if you say the minifigure has two claws, does that mean two total (ie, one each) or two each?<br /> ** In the case of the Skull Twins and Kabuki Twins who don't have a backgrounds or personalities distinctly different from each other, it makes no sense to have pages like &quot;Kabuki Twin 1&quot; and &quot;Kabuki Twin 2&quot; since they'd be completely identical. Fred and George are different since they do, and also have separate video game characters as well.<br /> *** So why not use the plural on the &quot;xxx Twins&quot;? We're talking about minifigures here, not the characters, and apart from the background, the page should be &quot;out of universe&quot;. Since neither of these are Siamese twins, we're getting two separate identical copies of a single minifigure, just like we get two identical unnamed Stormtrooper minifigures or whatever so I don't see why this case needs to be treated differently.<br /> :Again, sorry if that makes absolutely no sense :P Basically, per Sam. {{User:NovaHawk/sig}} 02:30, 21 September 2016 (UTC)<br /> :Eh....<br /> :*Logistical stuff:<br /> ::*Concern about Appearance section is granted, though I don't think it is an insolvable problem. Perhaps indicating &quot;both&quot; instead of &quot;two&quot; would do it.<br /> ::*I don't think that the Accessories concern is very legitimate though. If Batman comes with one batarang in a set but two in another, what do we do? I don't think we have to spell it out so much. Just put down &quot;Claws.&quot; Descriptors like quantity and especially color seem sort of arbitrary to me; there should be pictures (or at least links to relevant pages) which show exactly what they come with.<br /> :*&quot;Two separate identical copies of a single minifigure&quot;: I don't know if I can reply to this in any way which is meaningful because my brain goes to Platonism.... A lot of the Ninjago ghosts are the same minifigure but have different names across the sets, yet we still consider them separate even if they are functionally indistinguishable. Same thing with Fred and George.<br /> ::*Definitely agreed about the backgrounds being what would keep functionally identical twins on the same page; I'd agree to &quot;Kabuki Twin&quot; long before splitting them.<br /> :*What I think I disagree about is the philosophy behind the out of universe policy, at least here. With backgrounds it makes a lot of sense to me, but I tend to think of minifigures (at least ones with story roles) as being avatars or icons of the characters they represent, retaining a portion of that identity, and then communicating it through their design.<br /> ::*This is why, I think, we allow the Ninjago Ghosts to have their own pages and why we do not have an article for every separate variant of every minifigure (aside from practicality, of course).<br /> ::*And then, and this is what I was trying to articulate on the talk page earlier, being a Twin is ''part'' of that integral identity for the Kabuki Twins. That is an essential part of who they are. Like, I probably would say that they are &quot;one [inseparable] entity that is two individuals.&quot; Fred and George don't have that, and neither do the Stormtroopers. The Skull Twins may be a little different, for reasons noted on the article, so I could agree with the Stormtrooper analogy there, but it could probably go both ways. The Kabuki Twins are one indivisible character, but part of that character is being twofold; one personality, two bodies, perhaps.<br /> :Sorry if ''this'' makes no sense.

One thing I want to point out, somewhat unrelated - why are Fred and George Weasley relevant here? The Weasley twins are two people that are not functionally identical - they're two distinguishable (perhaps not visibly) people, unlike the Skull Twins and Kabuki Twins.

Keep in mind if you do go with option 2, there will be ''a lot'' of articles pointlessly linking to disambiguation pages because of what we're already established in those individual cases- think about all the pages linking to articles like [[Batman]], [[Spider-Man]], [[Harry Potter]] and [[Marvel]] to name a few off the top of my head- there are around 2000 pages linking to those four articles alone (I don't know if that's directly, but there are definitely a good portion of them that do). @Nigma: Not sure what you mean about &quot;currently mos-compliant&quot; since it's not even in the MoS. These are the I guess the &quot;current trends&quot; of what does seem to happen with names:<br /> ** Physical minifigures generally take precedence over obscure video game characters, eg, ([[Chen]] vs [[Chen (Indiana Jones)]])<br /> ** Themes generally take precedence over minifigures, eg, [[Indiana Jones]] goes to the theme, not the minifigure.<br /> *** The exception to this seems to be for minifigures which also appear in more modern themes, such as [[Batman]] and [[Spider-Man]] since they're minifigures in the current Super Heroes themes (as opposed to the links going to old discontinued themes)<br /> ** There are also cases where the page link goes to a disambig page, for example [[X-wing]] and [[Woman]], because there isn't any page going to be clearly more used.<br /> :Anyway, basically why I think option 1 is a better idea {{C|even if we did have a bot that could clean up the thousands of links if we went with the second option}} is that as far as I can see, there are two things that need to be considered here:<br /> :# '''Ease of a reader finding a page through searching''' - if someone enters &quot;Marvel&quot; into a search box, 99.5% of the time they're going to want to find out about the [[Marvel Super Heroes]] theme, not that Marvel is a comic book company. Why make them click an extra link for no reason? Even for cases like Batman, most people are going to be looking for the guy currently being sold in sets and the star of an upcoming movie, not for some discontinued theme from 10 years ago (some people searching may not have even been born when the theme came out). It's not like they can't find the other page(s) if they needed to, there should always be one of those &quot;&quot;Marvel redirects here. For other uses of the term, see Marvel (disambiguation)/For the company, see Marvel (company)&quot; type messages at the top of the page.<br /> :# '''Ease of editors being able to link to a page''' - While I think the above is much more important, even something as simple as &lt;nowiki&gt;[[Batman]] vs [[Batman (minifigure)|Batman]]&lt;/nowiki&gt; seems like an unnecessary amount of extra typing (especially if you're making multiple pages in a row).<br /> :I'm not actually sure if I'm even awake while I'm typing this, so I'm going to stop now in case it makes no sense :P {{User:NovaHawk/sig}} 04:31, 5 October 2016 (UTC)<br /> :I'll go with NovaHawk on this.

By default it generates images which are 50px in size, or simply put, too small to be useful to anyone.

Given that the toggle to collapse/expand the sidebar already exists (for really small screens, ie. my mobile device in portrait mode, as opposed to in landscape mode), we could simply show it for all screen resolutions instead, which would then allow users to regain some precious screen space when viewing larger (=wider) pages, such as set listings. --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] ([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|talk]]) 19:58, 17 October 2016 (UTC)<br /> *** A related ticket (except for content sections @[[phab:T143511|T143511]]), although I support the idea of collapsable sidebars for all resolutions, would require some rethinking some of the header interface though, because we'll need a button somewhere on there for opening and closing the sidebar menu.

It also makes references to ''[[Wikipedia:The New Scooby-Doo Movies|Scooby-Doo Meets Batman]]''. There is no real guideline specifying what exactly should be done regarding the character, given the fact that there are so many different (major: Earth-One, New Earth, Prime Earth) variations, covered or not by LEGO media. Since [[76052 Batman Classic TV Series - Batcave]] includes the Silver Age, Earth-One (I believe) Batman, we should have a short description for that incarnation of Batman, one for the New Earth Batman, since the original Batman theme was released during its run and [[LEGO Batman: The Videogame]]'s Batcomputer facts are based around the New Earth canon, and Prime Earth due to New 52 elements being used in the [[DC Comics Super Heroes]] line and games. It would be confusing, but it is much more factual than implying that the New Earth Batman and Prime Earth [[Ace the Bathound]] teamed up with Earth-One [[Scooby-Doo|Mystery, Inc.]] to foil the Joker's plans. Or perhaps we should only have the LEGO media-only backgrounds for such characters. But regardless, a guideline ''will'' be necessary.

They generally give most attention to the universe, I think.<br /> ::::*Speaking of which, if the article is tremendously messy, we could split the page into &quot;Batman&quot; and &quot;Batman (The LEGO Movie).&quot; That ''might'' mean doing the same for Robin, Batgirl, Joker, Alfred, and everyone else too, but some sort of notability policy might help take care of that.<br /> :::*My thought is that, for sanity's sake, a background should explain the character's place in the larger world as far as it is stable. For Batman, that would be his origin, what he's about, relations to characters like the Robins/Batgirl/Alfred, the Justice League, Gotham City, and his Rogues Gallery. How detailed do you get though?<br /> ::::*The issue is that this probably wouldn't make for a very good read. There might be some articles or websites we could find to get an idea of how to write like that, though.<br /> ::::*And then, what do we do with the video game and movie versions? They probably shouldn't be the plot summaries that they are now; save those for the game/movie articles themselves.<br /> :::So that's what I've got for now. Might have more thoughts later. [[User:Berrybrick|Berrybrick]] ([[User talk:Berrybrick|talk]]) 21:27, 22 October 2016 (UTC)<br /> ::::By &quot;in the context of LEGO&quot;, I didn't mean the sets, as those do not have a real, larger story. I was thinking perhaps backgrounds in relation to the ''LEGO Batman'' series of games and related media, ''The LEGO Movie'' and derived media, ''The LEGO Batman Movie'', the ''LEGO Justice League'' films and related media, and ''LEGO Dimensions''. Each one of those five topics have their own version(s) of Batman that would need separate sections. Those would certainly be relevant to Brickipedia, as would be articles on the ''Dark Knight'' film series (all three films have at least one set), and the 1966 TV series, which is also directly identified as such (unlike most other sets, it's just &quot;Batman&quot; from Earth-God-Knows-What). I don't think that separating the articles per-theme would be such a great idea, though. Sure, our article on Batman has a section that is essentially the synopsis of all of the hero missions of LBTVG, but I don't think that would do very well as the plot for LBTVG either. It's already too long and detailed, and would need to be expanded further and also need to accommodate the other half of the game, 15 villain missions. That's a personal opinion, however; we don't have a guideline as to [[User:Edward Nigma/Chase McCain|how long backgrounds must be]] and I don't think that's the main focus of this discussion anyway. [[User:Edward Nigma|&lt;font color=&quot;lime&quot;&gt;LCF&lt;/font&gt;]] &lt;sup&gt;([[User talk:Edward Nigma|&lt;font color=&quot;#6600FF&quot;&gt;talk!&lt;/font&gt;]])&lt;/sup&gt; 21:52, 22 October 2016 (UTC)<br /> :::::We have an objectivity issue on some articles, perhaps in part because of the way I used to write them. Articles don't need to be drowned in detail; that just makes things that are actually informative harder to pick out and causes the page to decay. We have this problem with descriptions too. The background I suggested, though it still has issues I would like to pound out, would tell people who he is without concerning itself with differences that are really quite arbitrary in all of those cases except for maybe ''The Dark Knight'' trilogy because of the way that series' world works (but I'd just ignore it; mention what it's based on in the description, and put an external link to where they can read about that and every other version, because BP:NOT). Batman is a very fluid character; trying to pin down all of these heads (by &quot;earths&quot;) is not necessary. The only version I think needs to be covered in any considerable detail as &quot;separate&quot; from our generibat is the TLM/TLBM version(s), which is why I suggested splitting the article into &quot;Batman&quot; and &quot;Batman (The LEGO Movie)&quot;--and only those two(--though I'm not really for the idea either). As for transposing the stories to the the video game (or whatever) pages; of course it wouldn't be a copy and paste and shouldn't be that detailed, but anything on the Batman article needn't walk through every (or any?) scene. Also, though it is ''really'' just creating another head, the sets do have conflict and therefore elements of a story (albeit basic); yes, it would be chaff to write lines about that one time he saved an alien princess from an amusement park of doom, so let's not do it, but maybe it would be useful if the background could somehow explain how he knows this Joker guy whose face keeps showing up everywhere? Or how he knows these Robin and Flash people who keep showing up?

Bruce went away and trained for a while and came back as Batman. He hired Robin as his sidekick and they like to fight bad people with weird faces like the Joker.&quot; Plus maybe a small paragraph with a subheading each for the Nolanverse and DCEU universes if deemed necessary? The summary from the video games is good, but the level-by-level account belongs in video game level articles and a smaller more abridged summary would be much better here {{C|although the LB3 summary could do with a ''slight'' expansion :P}}. No real opinion on splitting TLBM Batman, I'm ok either way.

A general background that goes as far into detail as possible without crossing the story-specific boundaries. I wouldn't oppose that. But I feel like splitting the articles would only draw in more questions as to how it should be done for everyone, such as &quot;why are we splitting it for this theme and leaving all the others in one article?&quot; I agree that the article is too long, but I don't think that splitting it is the answer.

[[User:Berrybrick|Berrybrick]] ([[User talk:Berrybrick|talk]]) 13:57, 27 November 2016 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ==Requirements for admin==<br /> The minimum edit requirement for requests for admin rights currently reads &quot;500 content namespace edits&quot;. This is a bit messed up. At the time the rule came in, there was only one &quot;content namespace&quot;- the mainspace (this is why the templates in the requests say &quot;''x'' edits, ''y'' mainspace&quot;- to check that ''y''&gt;500 for admin requests). However, we now have several namespaces defined as content namespaces in the code- Brickipedia News, Fan, Inventory, Review and Part (at the time the rule was made, &quot;Part&quot; was a part of the mainspace, and the Fan namespace didn't exist- Brickimedia Customs did). So, basically just wondering if we want to re-examine which namespaces should count toward admin requests since so much has changed since the original rule was made. {{User:NovaHawk/sig}} 11:16, 27 November 2016 (UTC)<br /> * Personally, I'd be happy to just make it 500 for any namespace excluding edits in the User/User talk/User blog namespaces. It seems a bit silly to me that edits in useful places like the template namespace don't count. {{User:NovaHawk/sig}} 11:16, 27 November 2016 (UTC)<br /> :*Sure. Per Nova. [[User:Berrybrick|Berrybrick]] ([[User talk:Berrybrick|talk]]) 13:47, 27 November 2016 (UTC)<br /> :* Agreed. [[User:SamanthaNguyen|SamanthaNguyen]] ([[User talk:SamanthaNguyen|talk]]) 16:45, 27 November 2016 (UTC)<br /> * I've changed my mind (again!). &lt;s&gt;As much as I don't agree with Reviews or Fan as being considered &quot;content&quot; (I still don't), however, I'd venture to say that it would be necessary for administrators to have experience with those two namespaces.&lt;/s&gt; However, editing Brickipedia News pages is reserved only for news reporters, administrators, and others with administrative rights, so I don't think that that should have anything to do with gaining administrative rights. &lt;s&gt;It would also be nice, like Nova said, for admins-to-be to have knowledge of templates and how they work (and thus, edits in the template namespace).&lt;/s&gt; I think it's necessary to keep the edit requirements. I don't think that we could UCS on whose request is to be considered valid or not. The entire purpose of the edit requirement is to prevent that sort of business from having to happen, but primarily, to ensure that the user in question is well-versed in managing the primary function of this wiki: mainspace articles. I would not mind that we broaden the usage of the term &quot;mainspace&quot; in this context to encompass the mainspace, inventory, and part namespaces. That is the only real &quot;content&quot; on this site (sorry Reviews and Fan - you're not ''real'' content). I get it, administrators do a lot more than just edit our articles (which is definitely not what administrative rights are required for). Like others have said, yes, it ''would'' be nice to have administrators-to-be having much more knowledge about other parts of the wiki, such as participating in discussions and working with templates, etc. etc. But how would we factor any of that into the URR process? The edit requirement is something simple, something minimal that displays that the user is dedicated enough to qualify for administrator. [[User:Edward Nigma|&lt;font color=&quot;lime&quot;&gt;LCF&lt;/font&gt;]] &lt;sup&gt;([[User talk:Edward Nigma|&lt;font color=&quot;#6600FF&quot;&gt;talk!&lt;/font&gt;]])&lt;/sup&gt; 18:52, 27 November 2016 (UTC)<br /> ** Everyone has brought up some very fine points here. On the other hand, I'm against hard-coded edit count requirements, but the fact is that Brickipedia ''is'' a wiki and we need good edits for the site to thrive. One of the strengths of any admin team, but especially ours, is diversity. We have different people with different strengths and interests, and we are all united by our dedication to making Brickipedia '''the''' LEGO wiki. You know how templates work? And you've even created a few new ones on your own? Splendid! You've verified pre-existing inventories and written new ones? Wonderful! Knowledge of both is definitely a plus for any admin candidate, but the lack of edits in a namespace shouldn't necessarily be something to be held against a candidate.&lt;br /&gt;For example, on [[shoutwiki:|ShoutWiki]] we have an extension which enables &quot;sharing&quot; the [[shoutwiki:Help:Contents|help pages from ShoutWiki Hub]] to any other English-language ShoutWiki wiki which does not yet have local help pages ([[shoutwiki:w:nintendogs:Help:Contents|such as this wiki, which was just created yesterday]]). Although this analogy doesn't apply quite as well to well-estabilished, big wikis like Brickipedia, you can see why most ShoutWiki sites probably have a rather small amount of help pages, if any.&lt;br /&gt;I agree with Nova in that edits in the User* namespaces shouldn't count, but as for the rest, why not? Article edits are important, but so is discussing with other editors about potential naming conflicts and such, so most edits to various talkspaces are probably meaningful, too. --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] ([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|talk]]) 20:56, 27 November 2016 (UTC)<br /> * I mean, in many ways Template/File etc are also &quot;content&quot; namespaces. So I'd just remove the content namespace part of it to just say &quot;500 edits&quot;. Then, if they do in the unlikely chance have 493 of those in User talk/User blog, then we can just not support it...

I was puzzled by the existence of the article, and scoured the policy pages over page notability, but found nothing. After performing a page title search, I came across [[Brickipedia:Notability]], which was not linked to anywhere (in fact, [[Template:Notable]] is the only page on this entire site that links to that policy). It seems that CJC95 wrote it over five years ago, where it has not been edited since. I'm facing a dilemma here as I'm unsure as to whether the policy is even relevant anymore.

At that point, I also saw the [[Poster]] article and [[:Category:Poster]]. Some of the poster articles have set numbers. Others don't. The &quot;Poster&quot; article itself could be a LCP-2 article, but as I discovered that we have several poster-related articles that were questionable territory under [[Brickipedia:Notability|the notability policy]], whose existence is also questionable.

So I've made a template, {{tl|SetsByYear}}, which will just automatically display all sets in a theme by year. Currently it can only support up to 12 years, just want to know if I should bother to expand the number of years it could take before going ahead with it.<br /> <br /> ;Usage<br /> Make a template like normal nav templates with colours etc, using [[Elves]] as an example (so you'd use Template:Elves sets as the name).<br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> {{SetsByYear<br /> |header-background-color = 2A576C <br /> |link = Elves<br /> |link-2 = Set<br /> |pipe-2 = sets<br /> |link-color = FFFFFF<br /> |template-name = Elves sets<br /> |year={{{1}}}<br /> |theme=Elves<br /> |2015|2016|2017}}<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> The only different thing here are the bottom three rows. Don't touch the third-last row, that's what it needs to be. Second-last row is the theme (I'll need to work on something to get stuff working for things with subthemes like Star Wars). The last row is the important one- put down each year the theme had a set released.<br /> <br /> Then, go ahead and use as normal, eg, stick &lt;nowiki&gt;{{Elves sets|2017}}&lt;/nowiki&gt; at the bottom of an article, and it'll show all Elves sets released in 2017, with tabs for other years ([[Template:Elves_sets/test2|example]]).<br /> <br /> And that's it. You literally don't have to type any sets names anywhere and stuff will automatically update. All you have to do is add an extra year to the template when it's known that sets will be released in a future year.<br /> <br /> ;Bad stuff<br /> * Only supports 12 years at the moment (easily changed)<br /> * Sometimes at the moment, sets are broken into smaller categories, eg Star Wars sets are typically broken into sections like &quot;normal sets&quot;, &quot;microfighters&quot;, &quot;planets sets&quot;, UCS sets, etc. This doesn't currently support that, and without making categories, this can't be done reliably as far as I can tell. There would be a way to do manually exclude stuff and add it to a separate section, but that would require some coding knowledge.<br /> <br /> So basically- should we use this template are not?<br /> * If we do use it, where do we want to use it?

I've never heard of them, but as long as you or someone on the technical team know they're reliable I don't see a problem with switching.

I think part of this is because it's a long list, and there are little notes next to everything... it just looks a mess to me. I think it would be much better to group the appearances by each major variant- as it's really only new variants coming out, you can see right away what needs to be added, and it's also more useful if you want to see what set a specific variant appears in. There's an example [[Cole#Appearances|here]] (as opposed to [http://en.brickimedia.org/index.php?title=Cole&amp;oldid=1036027#Appearances here]- note that it's missing about 5 sets on the list). {{User:NovaHawk/sig}} 00:32, 29 June 2016 (UTC)<br /> :Sure. I think that it might be useful to indicate years (i.e. Trainee (2006 - 2007, 2009)) as well as variants. Even just one of those is probably a more sensible way a person will browse than by set number. I do wonder how well this would work for minifigures like Batman who have an absurd amount of one-offs and &quot;New hat!&quot; variants. [[User:Berrybrick|Berrybrick]] ([[User talk:Berrybrick|talk]]) 00:40, 29 June 2016 (UTC)<br /> :Per Berry.

That'd be fine with me. @Batman- that's why I said &quot;major&quot; variant- eg, Cole's ghost airjitzu is grouped with his normal airjitzu, it just has {{C|ghost}} next to it, you could do the same thing with the different-shaped cowls. I get what you mean for one-off suits, though I still think it'd be slightly better this way overall :S {{User:NovaHawk/sig}} 03:50, 29 June 2016 (UTC)<br /> :I like the new layout, but Friends has unique (throwing a random leg piece and torso together) variations for each set. So that'll look messy regardless {{User:Soupperson1/Sig}}<br /> :: Just had a look at all the variants/appearances on Emma, and yeah it'd be pretty pointless on Friends since nearly every set would have its own heading :S I don't think there needs to be a fixed rule for when to use this formatting, just more of a &quot;use when it makes sense to use it&quot;-type thing {{User:NovaHawk/sig}} 03:14, 9 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> ::: I guess it could apply to most themes par City, Creator and Friends. {{User:Soupperson1/Sig}}<br /> <br /> ===&quot;Mentions, depictions and portrayals&quot; section===<br /> I've had a problem with the appearances section ever since it came out, and wasn't sure how to fix it. Take [[Lloyd]]- his kimono suit comes as a physical minifigure in [[5002816 LEGO Ninjago: Character Encyclopedia]]. Technically, at the moment this should be listed under &quot;Book appearances&quot;, along with novels and other encyclopedia which just mention him or have a picture of him. There's no real way we have to indicate whether a minifigure actually appears or is just mentioned. I think the way to fix this might be to have a subsection of appearances just for video games, books, etc. It'd look something like:<br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> ==Appearances==<br /> * [[9443 Rattlecopter]] {{C|ZX}}<br /> * [[9457 Fangpyre Wrecking Ball]] {{C|ZX}}<br /> * [[5002816 LEGO Ninjago: Character Encyclopedia]] {{C|Kimono}}<br /> ===Gear appearances===<br /> ;Key chains<br /> * [[850442 Lloyd ZX Key Chain]]<br /> ;Clocks<br /> * Lloyd clock<br /> ===Mentions and portrayals===<br /> ;Video games<br /> * ''[[LEGO Ninjago - The Final Battle]]''<br /> ;Television<br /> * ''[[Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu]]''<br /> ** Season 1<br /> *** &quot;[[Rise of the Snakes]]&quot;<br /> ;Books<br /> * [[5002816 LEGO Ninjago: Character Encyclopedia]]<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> Note I've also got a &quot;gear appearances&quot; section for things which physically appear as Lloyd, but aren't 100% a minifigure. Also, the character encyclopedia appears twice because he both appears as a physical minifigure and is pictured/mentioned in the book. {{User:NovaHawk/sig}} 00:32, 29 June 2016 (UTC)<br /> :This makes sense, but I'm not sure about the name. I think its &quot;mentions&quot; which gets me, and then aren't portrayals and depictions the same thing? I'd just pick either of those, personally. I'm just nitpicking your brilliance though. :P [[User:Berrybrick|Berrybrick]] ([[User talk:Berrybrick|talk]]) 00:44, 29 June 2016 (UTC)<br /> ::Oh yeah, I meant to say I had no idea what to name it :D And yes, they're the same, I won't take you through the crazy process I went through to have both there :P Removed one of them, if you like the other feel free to change it {{User:NovaHawk/sig}} 00:56, 29 June 2016 (UTC)<br /> :I think that our current handling of &quot;mentions and portrayals&quot; is sufficient. Lloyd appears in the book, yes, but shouldn't it already be clear that there is a section for his physical appearances? Perhaps the &quot;appearances&quot; section should be renamed to &quot;Set appearances&quot; or &quot;Physical appearances&quot;? I believe that the problem would lie more with the generic nature of the lone word &quot;Appearances&quot;, not the other way around.

In my experience, it has mostly shown up on fansites like Brickset and Bricklink where it is used for organization. I wouldn't be surprised to find the term in some official materials, like [[The LEGO Book]], but I would expect that that would be more so because of the of the way that fans use the word. Essentially, [[Black Falcons]] was a revamp of the [[Castle]] theme, and that's what makes it a subtheme. &quot;Black Knights is a Castle theme.&quot; Considering that the sub- prefix means &quot;beneath&quot; or &quot;under&quot;, this makes sense. Castle, in turn, would be an &quot;umbrella&quot; or &quot;supertheme&quot; which also encompasses [[Royal Knights]], [[WolfPack]], and even, though we don't seem to consider it one for some reason, [[Nexo Knights]]. Though I don't know what our current organization is, under this reasoning, City would be a &quot;subtheme&quot; of the Town &quot;supertheme&quot;. This will sometimes show up when themes which we probably would not call &quot;super&quot;, like Adventurers or Alpha Team, get rebranded as &quot;Jungle&quot; or &quot;Deep Sea&quot;. The original version of the theme (just plain Alpha Team) usually gets treated as the &quot;supertheme&quot; because it has nothing particularly special about it (Adventurers being an exception because of the clearly defined desert setting in its first year). This doesn't make much sense because, even if we haven't got a name for it, the first year of Alpha Team releases is as much of a subtheme as the second. In short, a subtheme is a variation on a theme.<br /> <br /> As far as modern themes are concerned, we don't really do this any more from what I can tell though; we don't record an Outlands subtheme for Legends of Chima or a Rebooted one for Ninjago. The only place that we see subthemes now is with licensed themes. [[The Desolation of Smaug]] being a subtheme of [[The Hobbit]] theme. This doesn't always make a ton of sense though. I've noticed recently that [[Toy Story 3]] is a subtheme of [[Toy Story]]. The equation seems to be that since the name of the first movie is the name of the franchise, then the sets based on that first movie are not sub to the franchise like the sets based on the other movie are.<br /> <br /> The third point that I wanted to address is toylines, which we usually classify by the building elements they use. I think that this is should be more about what sort of product they are delivering. For example, [[Constraction]] is a building system, not a toyline, so we would classify BIONICLE, Galidor, etc. sets as part of an Action Figures, Constraction Figures, [[Ultrabuild]], or whatever toyline. Collectable Minifigures would be one. I think that sets like [[71241 Slimer Fun Pack]] should be considered part of a Dimensions, Video Games, or Toys to Life toyline with Ghostbusters as the theme. And [[Ideas]] would be handled a similar way, I think. Probably things like the new [[BrickHeadz: Batman and The Joker|BrickHeadz]], too, and maybe Mighty Micros and MicroFighters. Ninjago spinners and Chima speedorz would be toylines. Friends and Elves would be &quot;Girlz only no boys allowed!!1!1&quot;. The question I guess is sort of how to go about this because if I would consider Ideas a toyline, then what toyline would &quot;normal&quot; sets like City and non-spinner Ninjago classify under? &quot;Classic&quot; or &quot;what it's always been&quot; I guess, unless we wanted to equate superthemes like Town, Castle, and Pirates to toylines, which might make sense.<br /> <br /> So yeah, that's my overanalysis. Accept it or not, I think that we need to question what &quot;theme&quot; means. Because right now, it seems to have less to do with a rebrand or &quot;new take on an old classic&quot; and more to do with what kind of sets are being released under the same banner. And I think that leads to some messy organization. Admittedly, it's not usually too bad, but I think that we can do a lot better.<br /> <br /> With what I am thinking this will, for example, join all [[Ghostbusters]] products from across the [[Ideas]]/[[Dimensions]]/[[Ghostbusters|Sets]] divide while still allowing it to remain part of those things.<br /> <br /> Feel free to ask questions. I understand that my thinking isn't always so easy to follow, and even if you can, there are sure to be a lot of &quot;what about thises and thatses?&quot;. I'll work on a more precise plan in the mean time. [[User:Berrybrick|Berrybrick]] ([[User talk:Berrybrick|talk]]) 16:45, 16 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> :Okay I am not exactly sure what you are proposing. We could first do what Bricklink does and sort everything under whether its a set, book, video game etc. Having that additional category may be helpful. Then each theme could include sets, video games, clothing etc.<br /> <br /> :What comes to mind is allowing sets to have more than one theme, so the Dimensions pack would be in the Dimensions and the Ghostbusters themes. It solves the problem, but it makes sorting more confusing.<br /> <br /> :Maybe we should make a new category for things which span more than one theme/system.<br /> <br /> :*[http://www.bricklink.com/catalogTreeCat.asp?catID=166 LEGO Education] (Dacta), at school a few years ago we had old TECHNIC Dacta. But looking at Bricklink, there is also Dacta which uses System, DUPLO and Jumbo Bricks.<br /> :*Not just different systems, but themes also. There are Town, Castle and Creator sets that are still Dacta.<br /> :*Dimensions and Ideas are the same. There are different themes under each of these &quot;themes&quot;.<br /> <br /> :Maybe we should stop thinking of Education/Dacta, Ideas, Brickheadz and Dimensions as themes and instead as lines, like you said. So a set can still only be part of one theme, but can also be part of one of these additional categories.<br /> <br /> :You mentioned Speedorz, I don't understand what is wrong with having those under Chima, as on the boxes they say Chima Speedorz. The Town theme is long gone now, so really I suppose City sets actually replaced the Town theme. I need to think it through more, maybe draw up some diagrams showing all the different themes.<br /> <br /> :I don't know if that reply helps much, I'm not very good at collecting my thoughts together! [[User:Lachlan|Lachlan]] ([[User talk:Lachlan|talk]]) 20:38, 16 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ::Thanks for responding. :) I'm not proposing anything yet (I need to collect my thoughts), I just wanted to get people thinking about the way we categorized based on theme and toyline. I'm glad you seem to be. :P<br /> ::*I had forgotten all about Dacta. That would be classified a toyline, at least in my thinking. That way it can encompass different themes, but those themes could still have regular products. Sort of like Ghostbusters having sets in its own theme, Ideas, and Dimensions. Does that make sense?<br /> ::*Speedorz would still be under Chima. I'm thinking that the banner on set pages which currently goes like [{System -&gt; Legends of Chima -&gt; Speedorz}] would instead be more like [{Speedorz -&gt; Legends of Chima -&gt; {subtheme}]. We could keep thinking of them as a subtheme and it wouldn't be the end of the world (especially since only Chima gets them), but I suppose my thought there comes more from thinking that we ought to do something about subtheme coming to mean &quot;special kinds of sets within regular theme&quot; rather than &quot;rebranded version of the theme&quot;.<br /> ::*On City/Town: Yeah, I'm not sure how clear I was, but the thing about Black Falcons was that that more or less replaced Castle, and then Black Falcons was in turn replaced by something else. We treat Castle, Space, and Pirates as superthemes and (almost) every new incarnation as a subtheme. By that logic, City would be a subtheme of the supertheme Town (or we could even call the supertheme City if people wanted to; though Town is more historical). Supertheming is a practice that, at least for those four themes, I like, but it has sort of started to teeter off with the way that people have started to think of subthemes.<br /> ::*I'd be happy to see what you come up with.

I guess that if there is really nothing better to put in the theme box DUPLO can go there--since that is probably what'll happen with TECHNIC anyway--but with the magic of wikilinks, it really won't be at the loss of any functionality or maneuverability. All of the articles which are linked to and from [[DUPLO]] now would be then. Searches and browsing will hardly change, and of the items which would be getting a status change, DUPLO is probably among those which will be effected the least.

That was long :P Not sure what to think about the toyline idea yet- &quot;toyline&quot; was intended to be what you call &quot;system&quot; in your notes when the set header was created, so this would be a whole other category. Put me down for a neutral for now, I probably need to reread it again :)<br /> ** The whole subtheme thing started because the online LEGO Shop originally used to group stuff into subthemes, eg check the sidebar [https://web.archive.org/web/20040727121429/http://shop.lego.com/product.asp?p=7124 here]. The whole Toy Story both being a supertheme for all Toy Story movies and a Toy Story 1 subtheme is probably a mistake on our part. Although for some reason I seem to remember that Cars and Toy Story used to have bars that went &quot;Cars&quot; for Cars 1 sets and &quot;Cars &gt; Cars 2&quot; for Cars 2 sets. I could be wrong though. I'm pretty certain PoTC used to have a bar that went &quot;Pirates of the Caribbean&quot; for POTC 1-3 sets and &quot;Pirates of the Caribbean &gt; Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides&quot; for the 4th though. [https://web.archive.org/web/20040720044606/http://shop.lego.com/leaf.asp?cn=30&amp;d=7&amp;t=3&amp;Type=4 Spider-Man] on the other hand did seem to group them separately- Spider-Man was one theme, Spider-Man 2 was another. So that was definitely our mistake. Now I think of it, POTC/Toy Story/Cars may have been listed the same was as Spider-Man was and we handled it badly {{User:NovaHawk/sig}} 01:23, 17 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> ***Yeah, I would have dropped that bit about sequel nesting had I thought ahead more. :P It's not a big deal. We don't have to do anything about it right now. And @Toylines, I guess that I saw the term used in a different capacity yesterday and sort of ran with it.... Anyway, thanks for the correction about where subthemes come from. I guess I just didn't expect that they would be so thoroughly added retroactively. Part of my text wall was that we don't seem to identify subthemes by the same conventions anymore, and I would sort of like to get back to that, which is why I was distinguishing toylines (and hopefully not making it more confusing by making them something new :P). I hope that makes a reread easier. :P [[User:Berrybrick|Berrybrick]] ([[User talk:Berrybrick|talk]]) 03:08, 17 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> <br /> I suppose the level of organisation we can achieve depends on whether you want to keep the theme names &quot;official&quot;. Looking at the Toy Story sets, all the boxes say Disney on them, so this is how I would organise it:<br /> *Disney &gt; Toy Story ([[:File:7590 alt1.png]])<br /> *Disney &gt; Toy Story 3 ([[:File:7789 Lotso's Dump Truck box.png]])<br /> Nowhere on the Toy Story 3 box does it imply that Toy Story 3 is a subtheme of Toy Story (although after reading the text above maybe the LEGO website did).<br /> <br /> I may be taking this a bit too seriously, but being a wiki admin for four years now makes me want to categorise everything correctly. So this is my suggestion for better organising of sets:-<br /> *'''What it is''' - Set, videogame, boardgame, t-shirt, pen etc etc.<br /> **'''System of construction''' (for the items above that include bricks) - [[System]], [[TECHNIC]], [[DUPLO]], [[QUATRO]], [[Modulex]], [[Jumbo Bricks]], [[Galidor]], [[Scala]] - '''one only per set''' (these are all different methods of construction, correct me if I'm wrong but AFAIK in every set the majority of bricks belong to one of these)<br /> *'''Theme''' - so [[Disney]] &gt; [[Toy Story]] - '''only one final theme per set''' (maybe not assigning a theme to every set might help organisation for generic DUPLO and TECHNIC sets)<br /> *'''Toyline''' (or whatever you want to call it) - [[Dacta]], [[BrickHeadz]], [[Collectable Minifigures]], [[Ideas]], [[Dimensions]] etc - Not related to theme, a set can belong to one of these as well as a theme.<br /> I know this will require a lot of work to re-categorise sets, but if we want the system to make more sense then that might be inevitable. Please consider this, I will now find some examples for this. [[User:Lachlan|Lachlan]] ([[User talk:Lachlan|talk]]) 10:43, 19 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> <br /> <br /> So, here we are. I'm going to use subheadings.<br /> ;Themes<br /> *What is a theme? Is it a general term for a grouping of thematically related sets? Sometimes we use it as such, but I think the best thing to go by is either a) what LEGO say or b) how LEGO brand it. So [[Airport]] is a no, for example. That was just made because its nice for a database to group Airplane related sets together.<br /> *&quot;So a set can still only be part of one theme,&quot; Disagree. Some sets get redefined themes midway through their existence, especially those in the &quot;box of bricks&quot; sort of category, when LEGO decides to rebrand it every couple of years, but still have the old sets to sell :P<br /> ;Subthemes<br /> *I agree that we only use subtheme because Brickset/Bricklink/etc do. Because, lets be honest, when I made pages at least, I just copied the information from them...<br /> *The issue with subthemes comes from this unofficialness. I was going to bring this months ago, but we use them as umbrella terms, like Berry says. The only reason we call those 80s Castle lines subthemes is because they are Castle based. So why not Nexo Knights? I don't know.<br /> *&quot;we don't record an Outlands subtheme for Legends of Chima or a Rebooted one for Ninjago&quot;. This is literally only because we make the pages before we know they are &quot;subthemes&quot;. If we were making them 10 years done the line we probably would :P<br /> *&quot;DUPLO and City list all their subthemes on their websites, otherwise things are in fact pretty vague for unlicensed themes.&quot; DUPLO has themes, not subthemes (although its confusing as they also have apparently themeless sets...). For what its worth, City website doesn't actually call them subthemes either.<br /> *&quot;Although for some reason I seem to remember that Cars and Toy Story used to have bars that went &quot;Cars&quot; for Cars 1 sets and &quot;Cars &gt; Cars 2&quot; for Cars 2 sets.&quot; It would say Cars for Cars 1 because Cars 1 was called Cars? :P Same with Toy Story<br /> ** Well yeah, I guess now you say it Cars &gt; Cars would look a bit weird. Guess we should have picked up on that and had &quot;Toy Story&quot; and &quot;Toy Story (subtheme)&quot; {{User:NovaHawk/sig}} 00:55, 23 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> ;Toylines<br /> *These are a historical relic here.<br /> *They were nominally to divide system based sets and duplo based sets. Even in the 90s boxes said System on them and stuff. But that doesn't mean its a linear thing. Lines are blurred. Is Architecture a system theme because its using system bricks? Or is it not because they are clearly different styles of set from the sets that used to say &quot;System&quot; on them.<br /> *Berry raises an interesting point about &quot;action figures&quot; and &quot;toys to life&quot; and stuff. I'm not sure my thoughts on it.<br /> *&quot;Okay I am not exactly sure what you are proposing. We could first do what Bricklink does and sort everything under whether its a set, book, video game etc. Having that additional category may be helpful. Then each theme could include sets, video games, clothing etc.&quot; This to an extent happens already. Its just instead of &quot;sets&quot; we are using System/DUPLO/TECHNIC/whatever for sets.<br /> *Education sets confuse things even more...<br /> <br /> ;Lachlan's idea at the bottom<br /> *The perils of writing this as I read them is that I didn't see this until I wrote all that stuff above.<br /> *Anyway, I'm interested in it. May I suggest we look at some sets (at random) to work out how they'd get classified, to ensure that this idea will work fully? <br /> <br /> [[User:CJC95|CJC95]] ([[User talk:CJC95|talk]]) 14:41, 19 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Another problem I have just noticed is that the early sets from the [[Bob the Builder]] theme are &quot;Explore&quot; sets, and the later ones are not, meaning the Bob the Builder theme actually has sets in two different themes, if that makes sense.[[User:Lachlan|Lachlan]] ([[User talk:Lachlan|talk]]) 16:08, 19 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> *According to the page, [[Explore]] was formed by merging DUPLO and Baby, and lasted two years, before it went back to being DUPLO. [[User:CJC95|CJC95]] ([[User talk:CJC95|talk]]) 16:33, 19 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Hm, how should I format this?<br /> :'''@Lachlan (post 2)''': This is very close to what I was thinking. Except &quot;What it is&quot; is what I was calling a Toyline. So my hierarchy would go like this:<br /> :*'''Toyline''' or '''What it is''' - &quot;Gear&quot; or &quot;Miscellaneous&quot; being used to lump together things like pens and T-shirts, though if we wanted those to be their own thing, I guess now would be the time to do it.<br /> ::*'''System of Construction''' - Thanks for that term; the parts it is made from, being System, TECHNIC, DUPLO, CCBS, or whatever. I should note that I don't envision this appearing on the banner because DUPLO, TECHNIC, and a lot of minor Systems are also what we could call themes or toylines.<br /> :*'''Theme'''<br /> :*'''Subtheme'''<br /> :If there is a supertheme applicable (like Castle to Black Falcons) that would be the theme, but I suppose the confusing thing is that you can get &quot;more sub&quot; and have a subtheme of a subtheme because subthemes and superthemes ''are'' themes; they are just sub- or super-. With that in mind, I don't think that there will be a problem of things being broken down too far. As an example, &quot;DUPLO &gt; Super Heroes &gt; Marvel &gt; Spider-Man&quot; (again an example; I'm not suggesting that we divvy up the Super Heroes line like that right now).<br /> :I'm not too worried about working out the subtheme nesting right now. Grouping all of the Disney sets (except Marvel and Star Wars, probably) under a Disney supertheme wouldn't be a bad idea though.<br /> :'''@CJC (14:41)''': I think we are on the same page, but you explain what is wrong with the system much more clearly than I did. Thanks.<br /> :'''@Lachlan (16:08)''': There are a couple of ways I can see to solve that using Toyline &gt; Theme &gt; Subtheme<br /> :*&lt;s&gt;We could consider Explore and Baby themes which are part of the DUPLO toyline and Bob the Builder an Explore subtheme. When the set is part of Explore, it would go &quot;DUPLO &gt; Explore &gt; Bob the Builder&quot;. When it isn't, it would go &quot;DUPLO &gt; Bob the Builder&quot;.&lt;/s&gt;<br /> :*Alternatively, we could consider Explore and Baby toylines. Then, &quot;Explore &gt; Bob the Builder&quot; or &quot;DUPLO &gt; Bob the Builder&quot; depending on the set.<br /> ::&lt;small&gt;I thought CJC was saying that DUPLO was Baby and Explore. If Explore is Baby and DUPLO, then it should be a toyline.&lt;/small&gt;<br /> :That was what I was trying to get across with the piece about Ghostbusters where right now we consider the Ideas and Dimensions sets as separate from the ones in the main theme. The idea is that different sets which are considered part of the same theme don't all need to be broken down in the same boxes to be together; they just have to fit one group, the theme, and the rest can be Venn diagrams.<br /> [[User:Berrybrick|Berrybrick]] ([[User talk:Berrybrick|talk]]) 19:25, 19 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> ::It's worth noting that (at least recently), those issues haven't been a problem on say, DC Super Heroes - The system, duplo and juniors pages all have that as a theme atm. [[User:CJC95|CJC95]] ([[User talk:CJC95|talk]]) 20:16, 19 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> :::I kind of have an issue with the Juniors pages because they consider DC a subtheme of Juniors when it isn't - at least not in the same way Black Falcons is a Castle subtheme - but the [[10545 Batcave Adventure|DUPLO]] and [[6858 Catwoman Catcycle City Chase|System]] ones are very similar to what I'm pushing for. [[User:Berrybrick|Berrybrick]] ([[User talk:Berrybrick|talk]]) 23:21, 19 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> ::Just a quick reply to Berrybrick as its getting late here, If people agree then I am happy to work on creating a Disney &quot;supertheme&quot;. That eliminates the Toy Story and Toy Story 3 problem. Although I didn't realise that Marvel was owned by Disney, and Star Wars has sub-themes itself so it could get messy. But I think it would be better personally. 21:40, 19 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> :::Would Star Wars come under Disney? If so, what about sets from before the Disney purchase? [[User:CJC95|CJC95]] ([[User talk:CJC95|talk]]) 21:46, 19 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> ::::There is already [[Disney]]. You could just turn that page into the supertheme. The history section nearly covers everything already, and I'd be happy to expand that a bit if you don't want to. I don't think that Star Wars and Marvel should be a part of it though because it's more about franchise than ownership, I think. The Disney stuff sort of crosses over with itself with things like the CMFs and Princesses (especially with Ariel in both) whilst Marvel and Star Wars stay self contained. Also, would want to include Pirates of the Caribbean, Prince of Persia, and Lone Ranger or keep it to animated stuff? And what about Disney Princesses and all of those DUPLO shows? I'd say include, though maybe group the DUPLO shows into a Disney Junior subtheme? I don't know. [[User:Berrybrick|Berrybrick]] ([[User talk:Berrybrick|talk]]) 23:21, 19 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> *Besides the TECHNIC/DUPLO thing we have now, what Brickset groups as miscelanious [http://brickset.com/browse/sets here] is ''mostly'' what I am talking about as a toyline, plus some other things like Juniors and probably most of the &quot;vintage themes&quot;, &quot;pre-school&quot;, and &quot;technical&quot;...I guess that most of the confusing stuff like Architecture, Creator, and Bulk Bricks could just stay under System. There really isn't a problem with that now. \_O_/ [[User:Berrybrick|Berrybrick]] ([[User talk:Berrybrick|talk]]) 04:27, 20 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> * I think whoever had the Toyline &gt; System of Construction &gt; Theme &gt; Subtheme is on the right track (I can't tell who's writing what in some areas). Plus it seems to be pretty much what we have but with an extra parameter so would be easier to change over. Not sure how I feel about Disney being a supertheme, I think it should be just for Disney stuff that doesn't already have a theme and stick Disney in the &quot;related themes&quot; field. Plus I like having Cars and Cars 2- that's how they were assigned officially and I think shorter lists make it easier to read. I think there was a suggestion above to scrap all subthemes- strongly against this. Firstly many of these were officially assigned, why not use them? But then there's ease of navigation to consider- say you were a casual reader looking for a Star Wars set, you didn't know what the set was called but you knew what movie it was from. Would you rather go through a list of 500+ sets in Category:Star Wars sets, but a list of 10-80 by looking at the subtheme category? @Berrybrick- I know what you mean about Juniors and Friends/DC/Marvel being treated as subthemes, that's an awkward one (I don't have any ideas on what to do) {{User:NovaHawk/sig}} 00:55, 23 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> :* Yeah, I've decided that Cars/Cars 2 doesn't really bother me. Sometimes you organize documents on a computer like that, so it's not a big deal. It might actually be confusing to do it any other way (aside from making Disney a supertheme, but I'm with you that I personally prefer that being separate, but that's only personally). I don't think there was a suggestion to scrap subthemes (aside from maybe things like [[Airport]]; CJC would have to comment on that), though I can see where you'd get that, it was more that our of idea of a subtheme has changed and become a bit inconsistent over the years and that we aren't using them to their full advantage because of it. But if I did happen to miss a petition to scrap them--again, I agree with you. I go through that process all the time. :P As for Juniors, my solution is to expand our definition of toyline to include things like Juniors because it's a ''line'' of ''toys'' that includes Friends and SH ''theme''d sets. :P So the banner would go Juniors (System) -&gt; Friends, or something like that. CJC seemed a bit iffy on that idea. I'd like your input too.

This relates to pages that are about identical minifigures but are two separate entities (ie, twins). I think we only have three cases- [[Fred Weasley|Fred]] and [[George Weasley]], the [[Skull Twin]]s and the [[Kabuki Twin]]s. {{User:NovaHawk/sig}} 01:30, 21 September 2016 (UTC)<br /> * Per my comment on the talk page, the other twins are actually distinguishable because they have different personalities, backgrounds, and actual different first names.

[[User:SamanthaNguyen|SamanthaNguyen]] ([[User talk:SamanthaNguyen|talk]]) 02:23, 21 September 2016 (UTC)<br /> * Here's my opinion, it may not make sense- I don't know why but I'm finding this strangely hard to explain :D<br /> ** I don't see why we need to make a special exception here- all our other pages done in a singular form, just because they're twins, doesn't mean they should be treated as one entity as they're still two individuals.<br /> ** There's the simple logistics of it- if the article is about two minifigures, how many should you say appear in the set? Kabuki Twins (two) could mean two groups of two. Then on the minifigure page for accessories- if you say the minifigure has two claws, does that mean two total (ie, one each) or two each?<br /> ** In the case of the Skull Twins and Kabuki Twins who don't have a backgrounds or personalities distinctly different from each other, it makes no sense to have pages like &quot;Kabuki Twin 1&quot; and &quot;Kabuki Twin 2&quot; since they'd be completely identical. Fred and George are different since they do, and also have separate video game characters as well.<br /> *** So why not use the plural on the &quot;xxx Twins&quot;? We're talking about minifigures here, not the characters, and apart from the background, the page should be &quot;out of universe&quot;. Since neither of these are Siamese twins, we're getting two separate identical copies of a single minifigure, just like we get two identical unnamed Stormtrooper minifigures or whatever so I don't see why this case needs to be treated differently.<br /> :Again, sorry if that makes absolutely no sense :P Basically, per Sam. {{User:NovaHawk/sig}} 02:30, 21 September 2016 (UTC)<br /> :Eh....<br /> :*Logistical stuff:<br /> ::*Concern about Appearance section is granted, though I don't think it is an insolvable problem.

If Batman comes with one batarang in a set but two in another, what do we do? I don't think we have to spell it out so much. Just put down &quot;Claws.&quot; Descriptors like quantity and especially color seem sort of arbitrary to me; there should be pictures (or at least links to relevant pages) which show exactly what they come with.<br /> :*&quot;Two separate identical copies of a single minifigure&quot;: I don't know if I can reply to this in any way which is meaningful because my brain goes to Platonism.... A lot of the Ninjago ghosts are the same minifigure but have different names across the sets, yet we still consider them separate even if they are functionally indistinguishable. Same thing with Fred and George.<br /> ::*Definitely agreed about the backgrounds being what would keep functionally identical twins on the same page; I'd agree to &quot;Kabuki Twin&quot; long before splitting them.<br /> :*What I think I disagree about is the philosophy behind the out of universe policy, at least here. With backgrounds it makes a lot of sense to me, but I tend to think of minifigures (at least ones with story roles) as being avatars or icons of the characters they represent, retaining a portion of that identity, and then communicating it through their design.<br /> ::*This is why, I think, we allow the Ninjago Ghosts to have their own pages and why we do not have an article for every separate variant of every minifigure (aside from practicality, of course).<br /> ::*And then, and this is what I was trying to articulate on the talk page earlier, being a Twin is ''part'' of that integral identity for the Kabuki Twins. That is an essential part of who they are. Like, I probably would say that they are &quot;one [inseparable] entity that is two individuals.&quot; Fred and George don't have that, and neither do the Stormtroopers. The Skull Twins may be a little different, for reasons noted on the article, so I could agree with the Stormtrooper analogy there, but it could probably go both ways. The Kabuki Twins are one indivisible character, but part of that character is being twofold; one personality, two bodies, perhaps.<br /> :Sorry if ''this'' makes no sense.

Keep in mind if you do go with option 2, there will be ''a lot'' of articles pointlessly linking to disambiguation pages because of what we're already established in those individual cases- think about all the pages linking to articles like [[Batman]], [[Spider-Man]], [[Harry Potter]] and [[Marvel]] to name a few off the top of my head- there are around 2000 pages linking to those four articles alone (I don't know if that's directly, but there are definitely a good portion of them that do). @Nigma: Not sure what you mean about &quot;currently mos-compliant&quot; since it's not even in the MoS. These are the I guess the &quot;current trends&quot; of what does seem to happen with names:<br /> ** Physical minifigures generally take precedence over obscure video game characters, eg, ([[Chen]] vs [[Chen (Indiana Jones)]])<br /> ** Themes generally take precedence over minifigures, eg, [[Indiana Jones]] goes to the theme, not the minifigure.<br /> *** The exception to this seems to be for minifigures which also appear in more modern themes, such as [[Batman]] and [[Spider-Man]] since they're minifigures in the current Super Heroes themes (as opposed to the links going to old discontinued themes)<br /> ** There are also cases where the page link goes to a disambig page, for example [[X-wing]] and [[Woman]], because there isn't any page going to be clearly more used.<br /> :Anyway, basically why I think option 1 is a better idea {{C|even if we did have a bot that could clean up the thousands of links if we went with the second option}} is that as far as I can see, there are two things that need to be considered here:<br /> :# '''Ease of a reader finding a page through searching''' - if someone enters &quot;Marvel&quot; into a search box, 99.5% of the time they're going to want to find out about the [[Marvel Super Heroes]] theme, not that Marvel is a comic book company. Why make them click an extra link for no reason? Even for cases like Batman, most people are going to be looking for the guy currently being sold in sets and the star of an upcoming movie, not for some discontinued theme from 10 years ago (some people searching may not have even been born when the theme came out). It's not like they can't find the other page(s) if they needed to, there should always be one of those &quot;&quot;Marvel redirects here. For other uses of the term, see Marvel (disambiguation)/For the company, see Marvel (company)&quot; type messages at the top of the page.<br /> :# '''Ease of editors being able to link to a page''' - While I think the above is much more important, even something as simple as &lt;nowiki&gt;[[Batman]] vs [[Batman (minifigure)|Batman]]&lt;/nowiki&gt; seems like an unnecessary amount of extra typing (especially if you're making multiple pages in a row).<br /> :I'm not actually sure if I'm even awake while I'm typing this, so I'm going to stop now in case it makes no sense :P {{User:NovaHawk/sig}} 04:31, 5 October 2016 (UTC)<br /> :I'll go with NovaHawk on this.

By default it generates images which are 50px in size, or simply put, too small to be useful to anyone. This results in the user basically ''having'' to go to the set's page to see a more useful image, which in turn leads to user frustration (as well as at least ''slightly'' increased load on the server due to &quot;unnecessary&quot; page loads).<br /> <br /> I'd guess full HD (1920x1080px) is a rather common display resolution these days, in both computers &amp;mdash; whether desktop or laptop &amp;mdash; and in smartphones; exceptions exist, though, especially in the lower-end segment of smartphones.

Given that the toggle to collapse/expand the sidebar already exists (for really small screens, ie. my mobile device in portrait mode, as opposed to in landscape mode), we could simply show it for all screen resolutions instead, which would then allow users to regain some precious screen space when viewing larger (=wider) pages, such as set listings. --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] ([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|talk]]) 19:58, 17 October 2016 (UTC)<br /> *** A related ticket (except for content sections @[[phab:T143511|T143511]]), although I support the idea of collapsable sidebars for all resolutions, would require some rethinking some of the header interface though, because we'll need a button somewhere on there for opening and closing the sidebar menu. As for images on mobile devices (even though I feel like all the data in ThemeTables could be displayed in a better way visually (that's for another day)) I think that we could use a media screen query(&lt;code&gt;@media screen&lt;/code&gt;) to define image sizes based on screen sizes.

It also makes references to ''[[Wikipedia:The New Scooby-Doo Movies|Scooby-Doo Meets Batman]]''. There is no real guideline specifying what exactly should be done regarding the character, given the fact that there are so many different (major: Earth-One, New Earth, Prime Earth) variations, covered or not by LEGO media. Since [[76052 Batman Classic TV Series - Batcave]] includes the Silver Age, Earth-One (I believe) Batman, we should have a short description for that incarnation of Batman, one for the New Earth Batman, since the original Batman theme was released during its run and [[LEGO Batman: The Videogame]]'s Batcomputer facts are based around the New Earth canon, and Prime Earth due to New 52 elements being used in the [[DC Comics Super Heroes]] line and games. It would be confusing, but it is much more factual than implying that the New Earth Batman and Prime Earth [[Ace the Bathound]] teamed up with Earth-One [[Scooby-Doo|Mystery, Inc.]] to foil the Joker's plans. Or perhaps we should only have the LEGO media-only backgrounds for such characters. But regardless, a guideline ''will'' be necessary.

Anyway, here are some thoughts:<br /> :::*[[BP:NOT]]<br /> :::*I think it makes sense, in a lot of cases (i.e. Star Wars, Harry Potter, Indiana Jones, Ninjago) for characters to have ''some'' account of their character development. Comic characters are a little different though, because most of the really notable ones have very little permanent canon beyond their origin.<br /> :::*Even doing it in the context of &quot;LEGO&quot; probably won't work: We've got different Batmans between the sets, video games, DVD specials, magazines, and the cinematic movies.<br /> ::::*If we had to pick one, I'd go with video games, at least primarily. They generally give most attention to the universe, I think.<br /> ::::*Speaking of which, if the article is tremendously messy, we could split the page into &quot;Batman&quot; and &quot;Batman (The LEGO Movie).&quot; That ''might'' mean doing the same for Robin, Batgirl, Joker, Alfred, and everyone else too, but some sort of notability policy might help take care of that.<br /> :::*My thought is that, for sanity's sake, a background should explain the character's place in the larger world as far as it is stable. For Batman, that would be his origin, what he's about, relations to characters like the Robins/Batgirl/Alfred, the Justice League, Gotham City, and his Rogues Gallery. How detailed do you get though?<br /> ::::*The issue is that this probably wouldn't make for a very good read. There might be some articles or websites we could find to get an idea of how to write like that, though.<br /> ::::*And then, what do we do with the video game and movie versions? They probably shouldn't be the plot summaries that they are now; save those for the game/movie articles themselves.<br /> :::So that's what I've got for now. Might have more thoughts later. [[User:Berrybrick|Berrybrick]] ([[User talk:Berrybrick|talk]]) 21:27, 22 October 2016 (UTC)<br /> ::::By &quot;in the context of LEGO&quot;, I didn't mean the sets, as those do not have a real, larger story. I was thinking perhaps backgrounds in relation to the ''LEGO Batman'' series of games and related media, ''The LEGO Movie'' and derived media, ''The LEGO Batman Movie'', the ''LEGO Justice League'' films and related media, and ''LEGO Dimensions''. Each one of those five topics have their own version(s) of Batman that would need separate sections. Those would certainly be relevant to Brickipedia, as would be articles on the ''Dark Knight'' film series (all three films have at least one set), and the 1966 TV series, which is also directly identified as such (unlike most other sets, it's just &quot;Batman&quot; from Earth-God-Knows-What). I don't think that separating the articles per-theme would be such a great idea, though. Sure, our article on Batman has a section that is essentially the synopsis of all of the hero missions of LBTVG, but I don't think that would do very well as the plot for LBTVG either. It's already too long and detailed, and would need to be expanded further and also need to accommodate the other half of the game, 15 villain missions. That's a personal opinion, however; we don't have a guideline as to [[User:Edward Nigma/Chase McCain|how long backgrounds must be]] and I don't think that's the main focus of this discussion anyway.

Articles don't need to be drowned in detail; that just makes things that are actually informative harder to pick out and causes the page to decay. We have this problem with descriptions too. The background I suggested, though it still has issues I would like to pound out, would tell people who he is without concerning itself with differences that are really quite arbitrary in all of those cases except for maybe ''The Dark Knight'' trilogy because of the way that series' world works (but I'd just ignore it; mention what it's based on in the description, and put an external link to where they can read about that and every other version, because BP:NOT). Batman is a very fluid character; trying to pin down all of these heads (by &quot;earths&quot;) is not necessary. The only version I think needs to be covered in any considerable detail as &quot;separate&quot; from our generibat is the TLM/TLBM version(s), which is why I suggested splitting the article into &quot;Batman&quot; and &quot;Batman (The LEGO Movie)&quot;--and only those two(--though I'm not really for the idea either). As for transposing the stories to the the video game (or whatever) pages; of course it wouldn't be a copy and paste and shouldn't be that detailed, but anything on the Batman article needn't walk through every (or any?) scene. Also, though it is ''really'' just creating another head, the sets do have conflict and therefore elements of a story (albeit basic); yes, it would be chaff to write lines about that one time he saved an alien princess from an amusement park of doom, so let's not do it, but maybe it would be useful if the background could somehow explain how he knows this Joker guy whose face keeps showing up everywhere? Or how he knows these Robin and Flash people who keep showing up?

He hired Robin as his sidekick and they like to fight bad people with weird faces like the Joker.&quot; Plus maybe a small paragraph with a subheading each for the Nolanverse and DCEU universes if deemed necessary? The summary from the video games is good, but the level-by-level account belongs in video game level articles and a smaller more abridged summary would be much better here {{C|although the LB3 summary could do with a ''slight'' expansion :P}}.

However, we now have several namespaces defined as content namespaces in the code- Brickipedia News, Fan, Inventory, Review and Part (at the time the rule was made, &quot;Part&quot; was a part of the mainspace, and the Fan namespace didn't exist- Brickimedia Customs did).

The entire purpose of the edit requirement is to prevent that sort of business from having to happen, but primarily, to ensure that the user in question is well-versed in managing the primary function of this wiki: mainspace articles. I would not mind that we broaden the usage of the term &quot;mainspace&quot; in this context to encompass the mainspace, inventory, and part namespaces. That is the only real &quot;content&quot; on this site (sorry Reviews and Fan - you're not ''real'' content). I get it, administrators do a lot more than just edit our articles (which is definitely not what administrative rights are required for). Like others have said, yes, it ''would'' be nice to have administrators-to-be having much more knowledge about other parts of the wiki, such as participating in discussions and working with templates, etc. etc. But how would we factor any of that into the URR process? The edit requirement is something simple, something minimal that displays that the user is dedicated enough to qualify for administrator. [[User:Edward Nigma|&lt;font color=&quot;lime&quot;&gt;LCF&lt;/font&gt;]] &lt;sup&gt;([[User talk:Edward Nigma|&lt;font color=&quot;#6600FF&quot;&gt;talk!&lt;/font&gt;]])&lt;/sup&gt; 18:52, 27 November 2016 (UTC)<br /> ** Everyone has brought up some very fine points here. On the other hand, I'm against hard-coded edit count requirements, but the fact is that Brickipedia ''is'' a wiki and we need good edits for the site to thrive. One of the strengths of any admin team, but especially ours, is diversity. We have different people with different strengths and interests, and we are all united by our dedication to making Brickipedia '''the''' LEGO wiki. You know how templates work? And you've even created a few new ones on your own? Splendid! You've verified pre-existing inventories and written new ones? Wonderful! Knowledge of both is definitely a plus for any admin candidate, but the lack of edits in a namespace shouldn't necessarily be something to be held against a candidate.&lt;br /&gt;For example, on [[shoutwiki:|ShoutWiki]] we have an extension which enables &quot;sharing&quot; the [[shoutwiki:Help:Contents|help pages from ShoutWiki Hub]] to any other English-language ShoutWiki wiki which does not yet have local help pages ([[shoutwiki:w:nintendogs:Help:Contents|such as this wiki, which was just created yesterday]]). Although this analogy doesn't apply quite as well to well-estabilished, big wikis like Brickipedia, you can see why most ShoutWiki sites probably have a rather small amount of help pages, if any.&lt;br /&gt;I agree with Nova in that edits in the User* namespaces shouldn't count, but as for the rest, why not? Article edits are important, but so is discussing with other editors about potential naming conflicts and such, so most edits to various talkspaces are probably meaningful, too. --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] ([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|talk]]) 20:56, 27 November 2016 (UTC)<br /> * I mean, in many ways Template/File etc are also &quot;content&quot; namespaces. So I'd just remove the content namespace part of it to just say &quot;500 edits&quot;. Then, if they do in the unlikely chance have 493 of those in User talk/User blog, then we can just not support it...

I was puzzled by the existence of the article, and scoured the policy pages over page notability, but found nothing. After performing a page title search, I came across [[Brickipedia:Notability]], which was not linked to anywhere (in fact, [[Template:Notable]] is the only page on this entire site that links to that policy). It seems that CJC95 wrote it over five years ago, where it has not been edited since. I'm facing a dilemma here as I'm unsure as to whether the policy is even relevant anymore. Whatever policy changes this site has undergone (at least, to my knowledge), have excluded the policy.

I was puzzled by the existence of the article, which I eventually placed a delete template on, tagging it as LCP-2 and not notable. I didn't publish it, however, and made an AFD in which I jokingly mentioned how we didn't have [[The Avengers Poster|an ''Avengers'' poster]] (surprise, we did!). At that point, I also saw the [[Poster]] article and [[:Category:Poster]]. Some of the poster articles have set numbers. Others don't. The &quot;Poster&quot; article itself could be a LCP-2 article, but as I discovered that we have several poster-related articles that were questionable territory under [[Brickipedia:Notability|the notability policy]], whose existence is also questionable. I suppose the only way to figure out what to do with those articles is to create a discussion.

For example, on [[41237 Batgirl Secret Bunker]], the t's in the &quot;This is a description...&quot; and the e's everywhere else are missing their horizontal lines for me. Now, the issue does not appear if using Vector (perhaps other skins too, I did not make a comprehensive test), or if zooming in past (what is for me) the default zoom on a desktop. So is it only for me that this occurs on default zoom? Or might this be the case for a large number of readers?

So I've made a template, {{tl|SetsByYear}}, which will just automatically display all sets in a theme by year. Currently it can only support up to 12 years, just want to know if I should bother to expand the number of years it could take before going ahead with it.<br /> <br /> ;Usage<br /> Make a template like normal nav templates with colours etc, using [[Elves]] as an example (so you'd use Template:Elves sets as the name).<br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> {{SetsByYear<br /> |header-background-color = 2A576C <br /> |link = Elves<br /> |link-2 = Set<br /> |pipe-2 = sets<br /> |link-color = FFFFFF<br /> |template-name = Elves sets<br /> |year={{{1}}}<br /> |theme=Elves<br /> |2015|2016|2017}}<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> The only different thing here are the bottom three rows. Don't touch the third-last row, that's what it needs to be. Second-last row is the theme (I'll need to work on something to get stuff working for things with subthemes like Star Wars). The last row is the important one- put down each year the theme had a set released.<br /> <br /> Then, go ahead and use as normal, eg, stick &lt;nowiki&gt;{{Elves sets|2017}}&lt;/nowiki&gt; at the bottom of an article, and it'll show all Elves sets released in 2017, with tabs for other years ([[Template:Elves_sets/test2|example]]).<br /> <br /> And that's it. You literally don't have to type any sets names anywhere and stuff will automatically update. All you have to do is add an extra year to the template when it's known that sets will be released in a future year.<br /> <br /> ;Bad stuff<br /> * Only supports 12 years at the moment (easily changed)<br /> * Sometimes at the moment, sets are broken into smaller categories, eg Star Wars sets are typically broken into sections like &quot;normal sets&quot;, &quot;microfighters&quot;, &quot;planets sets&quot;, UCS sets, etc. This doesn't currently support that, and without making categories, this can't be done reliably as far as I can tell. There would be a way to do manually exclude stuff and add it to a separate section, but that would require some coding knowledge.<br /> <br /> So basically- should we use this template are not?<br /> * If we do use it, where do we want to use it? I mean, it'd be pretty pointless for themes that have only been out for one or two years, should we start after a theme's been going for 4(?) years?<br /> <br /> {{User:NovaHawk/sig}} 06:06, 16 January 2017 (UTC)<br /> :I'll try to take a look at this later.

The guy is definitely a Grand Admiral, his uniform etc. and I think he is a new character. I think he's going to be the main villain of the film, the one commanding all the stormtroopers and such. I think it's going to be an action heavy and combat centered movie, considering the fact that people from the military were hired to be stormtroopers. The guy in black - I wouldn't be surprised if it is the emporer. If that's the case, I think it'll only be for one scene, kind of like Snoke in TFA. Hey, that's an idea, maybe the hooded figure is Snoke :O Don't underestimate Disney. You've probably picked up on it, but at the very end when Jyn turns to face the camera you can hear some very iconic breathing noises, and the music that follows is a mix of the force theme and the imperial march.<br /> I wasn't expecting that much footage from a teaser trailer considering what we got for TFA, but I guess they had to show a lot to make sure people don't think it's Episode VIII (watch the reviews come in and see people complain about how Rey, Finn and Kylo aren't in it). I think they may have showed a bit too much from the climax of the film though. It seems that a massive shuttle exploding like that could be a major plot point...<br /> I think it'll be a good movie. Hopefully the characters get decent archs, it would be a shame if they didn't - we already know the outcome of the main plot. (for that reason I've gone into full spoilerphobe mode, so watch your step :P) {{User:Brikkyy13/sig1}} 06:43, 12 April 2016 (UTC)<br /> : I like all these names, and I'm 100% sure that the character in the background is half Wookie half Sontaran :P I want to know what AT-ACT stands for, and how it's any different from the classic AT-ATs. I'm really digging the new TIE Striker and U-Wing, or specifically how awesome it'll be to have those in LEGO :P See, I told you! That movie gets better every time I see it. I went full nerd, saw it 8 times in theaters :P {{User:Brikkyy13/sig1}} 06:50, 19 May 2016 (UTC)<br /> :: I remember when the trailer dropped MSW reported that the AT-ATs (should I be calling them AT-ACTs?) looked like the ones from Rebels. I didn't know there were AT-ATs in Rebels, or that they were even different (then again, I'm way behind on rebels so I probably just haven't gotten up to it). I'd say trust their judgement because they're bigger Star Wars nerds then you could ever hope to be :P A lot of people have been thinking that the Strikers are prototype Interceptors. That makes a lot of sense to me, and it probably is legit. Hey, at least it's not a Q-Wing! (I tried to link to a YouTube video, the site blocked me with a spam filter :P look it up) People are saying that it's a troop transport, but I think the pictures make it look way bigger than it actually is. I still think it's a one-man ship. I saw someone say it looks like &quot;the product of a three way between an A-Wing, X-Wing and Zam Wessel's airspeeder&quot; XD If you want to talk about stuff being big an easy to hit, let's talk about B-Wings :P Do you have a link to Sir von Lego's post about that? I guess I missed it. {{User:Brikkyy13/sig1}} 00:44, 21 May 2016 (UTC)<br /> ::: Oh ok. Now that definitely seems way to big and easy to hit :P hopefully the actual ship will have the turning wings. I decided to go back and watch Rebels :P just got up to the first episode with AT-ATs (AT-ACTs? :P) and now I see a clear difference. The cockpit definitely has different detailings (guns, more squared off too the back), and there's one clear difference on the underside of the main body, it's missing the large cylender thingy (you know, the thing that's represented by a podracer engine on the LEGO versions :P). Oh right, duh should have checked there first.

Yeah it is a bit disappointing that a lot of the footage is recycled. At least we got some great new stuff from the making of reel. Yes, I do watch rebels, the trailer looks so awesome! I will say that I don't like the idea of Ezra being tempted by the dark side, considering that we've seen way to much of that type of story already, but hopefully it plays out interestingly. {{User:Brikkyy13/sig1}} 07:17, 18 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> : The thing that gets me the most in big series (like SW) is when villains die before their character can be used to it's full potential. I think TFA would've been 1000 times better if the resistance didn't destroy Starkiller base. On that Starkiller note, starwars.com has the vote going for the next black series figure again, Galen Marek is a choice. Mara Jade is also on the list, sorry to say that shes losing the vote last time I checked. Never read Aftermath, won't read Life Debt until I do.

[[User:Berrybrick|Berrybrick]] ([[User talk:Berrybrick|talk]]) 00:49, 12 August 2016 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == RE: trailer ==<br /> Did you and I watch the same trailer? I'll start by saying that this is actually a full trailer, not a teaser, which I think is fantastic. They're going to route of not showing much, just like TFA. Other than the generic action shots (which look pretty cool, CGI looks great) the thing that I like the most is the cinematography. The film seems to mostly be shot from eye level perspective, and it makes for some great imagery (like the TIE crashing into what I assume is an AT-ACT cockpit, or the Death Star eclipsing the sun). It seems to be very different from anything we've seen in Star Wars before. If this film takes the right risks, which it should, it'll pay off.<br /> <br /> The one thing I didn't like: Vader had no reason to be in it. Reminds me of The Joker from the fist Suicide Squad trailer. {{User:Brikkyy13/sig1}} 06:15, 12 August 2016 (UTC)<br /> * I think the fact that it doesn't show &quot;anything new&quot; story wise is pretty cool, it keeps the mystery. But yes, show me the movie already! :P (it might be too soon, but I think that Rogue One will be better than TFA - mainly for the fact that it won't be fan-servicy and will try to be its own thing). Yeah that TIE shot does feel like it's right out of Rebels, but I still think it's pretty epic. The TIE looks really intimidating. I don't recal a rocket launcher being used in any of the other 7 films (still getting used to saying that there's 7 :P), but maybe a Clone used one in the background of one of the battles. {{User:Brikkyy13/sig1}} 09:54, 12 August 2016 (UTC)<br /> * My view is the complete opposite to yours. We know what's going to happen in the end, so everything else should be a surprise. I agree though, it should be a character driven film with great action scenes - it looks like it won't disappoint on that front. It would be really cool if Jyn just shoots the pilot Indy style, but I'm kind of hoping she jumps onto the tie a la Anakin and Zam Wessel. Random kind of unrelated fact that you may or may not have known: when shooting Raiders of the Lost Ark in Cairo, they shot the chase sequence in chronological order over 3 days. Everybody got food poising from the catering, including Harrison Ford. The script originally called for Indy to get into a fistfight with the swordsman, but Ford had aggressive diarrhea and was not up for it. When the crowd split to reveal the swordsman, Ford improvised with his gun. Spielberg liked it so he left it in :P {{User:Brikkyy13/sig1}} 11:27, 12 August 2016 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == Re: ==<br /> Oh that leaker guy pmed me on Eurobricks after I asked him about it. :P {{User:Soupperson1/Sig}}<br /> <br /> == Funding LEGO Island's Wes Jenkins ==<br /> <br /> I came across this while browsing RRU: &lt;u&gt;rockraidersunited.com/topic/7361-please-help-wes-jenkins/&lt;/u&gt; Not sure if anyone here is a LEGO Island fan, or has cash to spare, but I thought I should share this for whatever purpose it could serve before the (incredibly-near) August 19th deadline.

That's okay ^~^ The presentation went pretty well, now that that discussion phase is done (it went from Nov 7 to Nov 20, and then the proposals were organized by the WMF Community Tech team), it's voting time! Currently so far, at: [[metawikimedia:2016 Community Wishlist Survey/Categories/Editing#Improve the History UI]] there's about 7 supports, 1 oppose, and 1 neutral. It's been improving so far and there's (hopefully!) going to be more voters voting on that proposal so that it could get more attention by the WMF staff :D So, it's actually not done yet because there's multiple phases, which I'll show you: (from the [[metawikimedia:2016 Community Wishlist Survey]] page ): <br /> #Submit, discuss and revise proposals: Nov 7-20, 2016<br /> #Community Tech reviews and organizes proposals: Nov 21–27<br /> #Vote for proposals: Nov 28–Dec 12 (current)<br /> #Results posted: Dec 15<br /> #Screening and assessment of top wishes by Community Tech team: end of December<br /> #Presentation of the initial assessment: Early January 2017<br /> #Working on wishes: January–December 2017!<br /> <br /> Hopefully it reaches one of the top wishes! That'd be pretty sweet :) (Also if you're wondering, I really just removed the stuff about it from my user page since from what I know, no one from here is eligible to vote, since it requires 200 edits across one or more Wikimedia projects, e.g MediaWiki.org, Wikimedia Commons, Wikisource, etc.) <br /> <br /> Oh and I forgot to tell ya, but I also made a watchlist proposal called [https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=2016_Community_Wishlist_Survey/Categories/Watchlists&amp;diff=16098789&amp;oldid=16098786#Watchlist_folders Watchlist folders], which got merged into [[metawikimedia:2016 Community Wishlist Survey/Categories/Watchlist#Watchlist priorities or Multiple watchlists|Watchlist priorities or Multiple watchlists]].

Nixels appear in one set from each Mixel tribe.<br /> <br /> == Description ==<br /> Nixels are generally small creatures in the Mixel universe, and are coloured exclusively black and white. They share several common features, such as a white, sphereical, printed face; a black, squarish body; small black arms; and small black nonfunctional legs. Small variations are present in each of the three known Nixels, such as size, building technique, pieces, and shape. Two different faces are currently in production; two of the Nixels, although their bodies are different, share the same face.<br /> <br /> == Background ==<br /> The Nixel's origin, although with that of the Mixels and their world, is largely unknown. Likely, both groups are separate species, and cannot 'mix' together. Presumably they came into existence around the same time as the Mixels. However, at some point along their existence, the Nixels developed a hate for all things colourful and creative, and banded together to destroy all things Mixel in their universe. They are lead by [[King Nixel]] and military commander Major Nixel.<br /> <br /> == LEGO.com Description ==<br /> {{QuoteLEGO.com<br /> |Product page URL=http://www.lego.com/en-us/mixels/explore/story/nixels<br /> |Description from LEGO.com=Nixels are annoying and destructive little creatures who are spread all over the land of the Mixels. They live to tear down and break apart the world around them, including any cool combinations that the Mixels create. In fact, there is nothing the Nixels hate more than when two or three Mixels combine together and get super powers. So the Nixels have made it their mission in life to put and end to such crazy creativity all together. And the only way to do this is to hide and destroy the cubits which enable the Mixels to combine in the first place. One Nixel can do little harm. But when they swarm together they can break apart a Mixel in seconds.

The guy is definitely a Grand Admiral, his uniform etc. and I think he is a new character. I think he's going to be the main villain of the film, the one commanding all the stormtroopers and such. I think it's going to be an action heavy and combat centered movie, considering the fact that people from the military were hired to be stormtroopers. The guy in black - I wouldn't be surprised if it is the emporer. If that's the case, I think it'll only be for one scene, kind of like Snoke in TFA. Hey, that's an idea, maybe the hooded figure is Snoke :O Don't underestimate Disney. You've probably picked up on it, but at the very end when Jyn turns to face the camera you can hear some very iconic breathing noises, and the music that follows is a mix of the force theme and the imperial march.<br /> I wasn't expecting that much footage from a teaser trailer considering what we got for TFA, but I guess they had to show a lot to make sure people don't think it's Episode VIII (watch the reviews come in and see people complain about how Rey, Finn and Kylo aren't in it). I think they may have showed a bit too much from the climax of the film though. It seems that a massive shuttle exploding like that could be a major plot point...<br /> I think it'll be a good movie. Hopefully the characters get decent archs, it would be a shame if they didn't - we already know the outcome of the main plot. (for that reason I've gone into full spoilerphobe mode, so watch your step :P) {{User:Brikkyy13/sig1}} 06:43, 12 April 2016 (UTC)<br /> : I like all these names, and I'm 100% sure that the character in the background is half Wookie half Sontaran :P I want to know what AT-ACT stands for, and how it's any different from the classic AT-ATs. I'm really digging the new TIE Striker and U-Wing, or specifically how awesome it'll be to have those in LEGO :P See, I told you! That movie gets better every time I see it. I went full nerd, saw it 8 times in theaters :P {{User:Brikkyy13/sig1}} 06:50, 19 May 2016 (UTC)<br /> :: I remember when the trailer dropped MSW reported that the AT-ATs (should I be calling them AT-ACTs?) looked like the ones from Rebels. I didn't know there were AT-ATs in Rebels, or that they were even different (then again, I'm way behind on rebels so I probably just haven't gotten up to it). I'd say trust their judgement because they're bigger Star Wars nerds then you could ever hope to be :P A lot of people have been thinking that the Strikers are prototype Interceptors. That makes a lot of sense to me, and it probably is legit. Hey, at least it's not a Q-Wing! (I tried to link to a YouTube video, the site blocked me with a spam filter :P look it up) People are saying that it's a troop transport, but I think the pictures make it look way bigger than it actually is. I still think it's a one-man ship. I saw someone say it looks like &quot;the product of a three way between an A-Wing, X-Wing and Zam Wessel's airspeeder&quot; XD If you want to talk about stuff being big an easy to hit, let's talk about B-Wings :P Do you have a link to Sir von Lego's post about that? I guess I missed it. {{User:Brikkyy13/sig1}} 00:44, 21 May 2016 (UTC)<br /> ::: Oh ok. Now that definitely seems way to big and easy to hit :P hopefully the actual ship will have the turning wings. I decided to go back and watch Rebels :P just got up to the first episode with AT-ATs (AT-ACTs? :P) and now I see a clear difference. The cockpit definitely has different detailings (guns, more squared off too the back), and there's one clear difference on the underside of the main body, it's missing the large cylender thingy (you know, the thing that's represented by a podracer engine on the LEGO versions :P). Oh right, duh should have checked there first. Silly me. {{User:Brikkyy13/sig1}} 10:39, 21 May 2016 (UTC)<br /> Shoretrooper sounds kind of cool :P<br /> I had no clue LEGO stuff leaked out of rogue one.

Yeah it is a bit disappointing that a lot of the footage is recycled. At least we got some great new stuff from the making of reel. Yes, I do watch rebels, the trailer looks so awesome! I will say that I don't like the idea of Ezra being tempted by the dark side, considering that we've seen way to much of that type of story already, but hopefully it plays out interestingly. {{User:Brikkyy13/sig1}} 07:17, 18 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> : The thing that gets me the most in big series (like SW) is when villains die before their character can be used to it's full potential. I think TFA would've been 1000 times better if the resistance didn't destroy Starkiller base. On that Starkiller note, starwars.com has the vote going for the next black series figure again, Galen Marek is a choice. Mara Jade is also on the list, sorry to say that shes losing the vote last time I checked. Never read Aftermath, won't read Life Debt until I do. A friend who read Aftermath said it was alright, but it was kind of all over the place.

[[User:Berrybrick|Berrybrick]] ([[User talk:Berrybrick|talk]]) 00:49, 12 August 2016 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == RE: trailer ==<br /> Did you and I watch the same trailer? I'll start by saying that this is actually a full trailer, not a teaser, which I think is fantastic. They're going to route of not showing much, just like TFA. Other than the generic action shots (which look pretty cool, CGI looks great) the thing that I like the most is the cinematography. The film seems to mostly be shot from eye level perspective, and it makes for some great imagery (like the TIE crashing into what I assume is an AT-ACT cockpit, or the Death Star eclipsing the sun). It seems to be very different from anything we've seen in Star Wars before. If this film takes the right risks, which it should, it'll pay off.<br /> <br /> The one thing I didn't like: Vader had no reason to be in it. Reminds me of The Joker from the fist Suicide Squad trailer. {{User:Brikkyy13/sig1}} 06:15, 12 August 2016 (UTC)<br /> * I think the fact that it doesn't show &quot;anything new&quot; story wise is pretty cool, it keeps the mystery. But yes, show me the movie already! :P (it might be too soon, but I think that Rogue One will be better than TFA - mainly for the fact that it won't be fan-servicy and will try to be its own thing). Yeah that TIE shot does feel like it's right out of Rebels, but I still think it's pretty epic. The TIE looks really intimidating. I don't recal a rocket launcher being used in any of the other 7 films (still getting used to saying that there's 7 :P), but maybe a Clone used one in the background of one of the battles. {{User:Brikkyy13/sig1}} 09:54, 12 August 2016 (UTC)<br /> * My view is the complete opposite to yours. We know what's going to happen in the end, so everything else should be a surprise. I agree though, it should be a character driven film with great action scenes - it looks like it won't disappoint on that front. It would be really cool if Jyn just shoots the pilot Indy style, but I'm kind of hoping she jumps onto the tie a la Anakin and Zam Wessel. Random kind of unrelated fact that you may or may not have known: when shooting Raiders of the Lost Ark in Cairo, they shot the chase sequence in chronological order over 3 days. Everybody got food poising from the catering, including Harrison Ford. The script originally called for Indy to get into a fistfight with the swordsman, but Ford had aggressive diarrhea and was not up for it. When the crowd split to reveal the swordsman, Ford improvised with his gun. Spielberg liked it so he left it in :P {{User:Brikkyy13/sig1}} 11:27, 12 August 2016 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == Re: ==<br /> Oh that leaker guy pmed me on Eurobricks after I asked him about it. :P {{User:Soupperson1/Sig}}<br /> <br /> == Funding LEGO Island's Wes Jenkins ==<br /> <br /> I came across this while browsing RRU: &lt;u&gt;rockraidersunited.com/topic/7361-please-help-wes-jenkins/&lt;/u&gt; Not sure if anyone here is a LEGO Island fan, or has cash to spare, but I thought I should share this for whatever purpose it could serve before the (incredibly-near) August 19th deadline.

(e.g &lt;code&gt;background-color: #fff;&lt;/code&gt; instead of &lt;code&gt;bgcolor=&quot;#fff&quot;&lt;/code&gt; As for ugliness, I actually happen to disagree and think that it's more readable, but oh well. :P (Fun fact, did you know that lowercasing helps performance? Not by much but here it is if you want to check it out. http://www.websiteoptimization.com/speed/tweak/lowercase/ It's pretty minor but I just prefer writing in lowercase.

That's okay ^~^ The presentation went pretty well, now that that discussion phase is done (it went from Nov 7 to Nov 20, and then the proposals were organized by the WMF Community Tech team), it's voting time! Currently so far, at: [[metawikimedia:2016 Community Wishlist Survey/Categories/Editing#Improve the History UI]] there's about 7 supports, 1 oppose, and 1 neutral. It's been improving so far and there's (hopefully!) going to be more voters voting on that proposal so that it could get more attention by the WMF staff :D So, it's actually not done yet because there's multiple phases, which I'll show you: (from the [[metawikimedia:2016 Community Wishlist Survey]] page ): <br /> #Submit, discuss and revise proposals: Nov 7-20, 2016<br /> #Community Tech reviews and organizes proposals: Nov 21–27<br /> #Vote for proposals: Nov 28–Dec 12 (current)<br /> #Results posted: Dec 15<br /> #Screening and assessment of top wishes by Community Tech team: end of December<br /> #Presentation of the initial assessment: Early January 2017<br /> #Working on wishes: January–December 2017!<br /> <br /> Hopefully it reaches one of the top wishes! That'd be pretty sweet :) (Also if you're wondering, I really just removed the stuff about it from my user page since from what I know, no one from here is eligible to vote, since it requires 200 edits across one or more Wikimedia projects, e.g MediaWiki.org, Wikimedia Commons, Wikisource, etc.) <br /> <br /> Oh and I forgot to tell ya, but I also made a watchlist proposal called [https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=2016_Community_Wishlist_Survey/Categories/Watchlists&amp;diff=16098789&amp;oldid=16098786#Watchlist_folders Watchlist folders], which got merged into [[metawikimedia:2016 Community Wishlist Survey/Categories/Watchlist#Watchlist priorities or Multiple watchlists|Watchlist priorities or Multiple watchlists]].

The guy is definitely a Grand Admiral, his uniform etc. and I think he is a new character. I think he's going to be the main villain of the film, the one commanding all the stormtroopers and such. I think it's going to be an action heavy and combat centered movie, considering the fact that people from the military were hired to be stormtroopers. The guy in black - I wouldn't be surprised if it is the emporer. If that's the case, I think it'll only be for one scene, kind of like Snoke in TFA. Hey, that's an idea, maybe the hooded figure is Snoke :O Don't underestimate Disney. You've probably picked up on it, but at the very end when Jyn turns to face the camera you can hear some very iconic breathing noises, and the music that follows is a mix of the force theme and the imperial march.<br /> I wasn't expecting that much footage from a teaser trailer considering what we got for TFA, but I guess they had to show a lot to make sure people don't think it's Episode VIII (watch the reviews come in and see people complain about how Rey, Finn and Kylo aren't in it). I think they may have showed a bit too much from the climax of the film though. It seems that a massive shuttle exploding like that could be a major plot point...<br /> I think it'll be a good movie. Hopefully the characters get decent archs, it would be a shame if they didn't - we already know the outcome of the main plot. (for that reason I've gone into full spoilerphobe mode, so watch your step :P) {{User:Brikkyy13/sig1}} 06:43, 12 April 2016 (UTC)<br /> : I like all these names, and I'm 100% sure that the character in the background is half Wookie half Sontaran :P I want to know what AT-ACT stands for, and how it's any different from the classic AT-ATs. I'm really digging the new TIE Striker and U-Wing, or specifically how awesome it'll be to have those in LEGO :P See, I told you! That movie gets better every time I see it. I went full nerd, saw it 8 times in theaters :P {{User:Brikkyy13/sig1}} 06:50, 19 May 2016 (UTC)<br /> :: I remember when the trailer dropped MSW reported that the AT-ATs (should I be calling them AT-ACTs?) looked like the ones from Rebels. I didn't know there were AT-ATs in Rebels, or that they were even different (then again, I'm way behind on rebels so I probably just haven't gotten up to it). I'd say trust their judgement because they're bigger Star Wars nerds then you could ever hope to be :P A lot of people have been thinking that the Strikers are prototype Interceptors. That makes a lot of sense to me, and it probably is legit. Hey, at least it's not a Q-Wing! (I tried to link to a YouTube video, the site blocked me with a spam filter :P look it up) People are saying that it's a troop transport, but I think the pictures make it look way bigger than it actually is. I still think it's a one-man ship. I saw someone say it looks like &quot;the product of a three way between an A-Wing, X-Wing and Zam Wessel's airspeeder&quot; XD If you want to talk about stuff being big an easy to hit, let's talk about B-Wings :P Do you have a link to Sir von Lego's post about that? I guess I missed it. {{User:Brikkyy13/sig1}} 00:44, 21 May 2016 (UTC)<br /> ::: Oh ok. Now that definitely seems way to big and easy to hit :P hopefully the actual ship will have the turning wings. I decided to go back and watch Rebels :P just got up to the first episode with AT-ATs (AT-ACTs? :P) and now I see a clear difference. The cockpit definitely has different detailings (guns, more squared off too the back), and there's one clear difference on the underside of the main body, it's missing the large cylender thingy (you know, the thing that's represented by a podracer engine on the LEGO versions :P).

Yeah it is a bit disappointing that a lot of the footage is recycled. At least we got some great new stuff from the making of reel. Yes, I do watch rebels, the trailer looks so awesome! I will say that I don't like the idea of Ezra being tempted by the dark side, considering that we've seen way to much of that type of story already, but hopefully it plays out interestingly. {{User:Brikkyy13/sig1}} 07:17, 18 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> : The thing that gets me the most in big series (like SW) is when villains die before their character can be used to it's full potential. I think TFA would've been 1000 times better if the resistance didn't destroy Starkiller base. On that Starkiller note, starwars.com has the vote going for the next black series figure again, Galen Marek is a choice. Mara Jade is also on the list, sorry to say that shes losing the vote last time I checked. Never read Aftermath, won't read Life Debt until I do.

[[User:Berrybrick|Berrybrick]] ([[User talk:Berrybrick|talk]]) 00:49, 12 August 2016 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == RE: trailer ==<br /> Did you and I watch the same trailer? I'll start by saying that this is actually a full trailer, not a teaser, which I think is fantastic. They're going to route of not showing much, just like TFA. Other than the generic action shots (which look pretty cool, CGI looks great) the thing that I like the most is the cinematography. The film seems to mostly be shot from eye level perspective, and it makes for some great imagery (like the TIE crashing into what I assume is an AT-ACT cockpit, or the Death Star eclipsing the sun). It seems to be very different from anything we've seen in Star Wars before. If this film takes the right risks, which it should, it'll pay off.<br /> <br /> The one thing I didn't like: Vader had no reason to be in it. Reminds me of The Joker from the fist Suicide Squad trailer. {{User:Brikkyy13/sig1}} 06:15, 12 August 2016 (UTC)<br /> * I think the fact that it doesn't show &quot;anything new&quot; story wise is pretty cool, it keeps the mystery. But yes, show me the movie already! :P (it might be too soon, but I think that Rogue One will be better than TFA - mainly for the fact that it won't be fan-servicy and will try to be its own thing). Yeah that TIE shot does feel like it's right out of Rebels, but I still think it's pretty epic. The TIE looks really intimidating. I don't recal a rocket launcher being used in any of the other 7 films (still getting used to saying that there's 7 :P), but maybe a Clone used one in the background of one of the battles. {{User:Brikkyy13/sig1}} 09:54, 12 August 2016 (UTC)<br /> * My view is the complete opposite to yours. We know what's going to happen in the end, so everything else should be a surprise. I agree though, it should be a character driven film with great action scenes - it looks like it won't disappoint on that front. It would be really cool if Jyn just shoots the pilot Indy style, but I'm kind of hoping she jumps onto the tie a la Anakin and Zam Wessel. Random kind of unrelated fact that you may or may not have known: when shooting Raiders of the Lost Ark in Cairo, they shot the chase sequence in chronological order over 3 days. Everybody got food poising from the catering, including Harrison Ford. The script originally called for Indy to get into a fistfight with the swordsman, but Ford had aggressive diarrhea and was not up for it. When the crowd split to reveal the swordsman, Ford improvised with his gun. Spielberg liked it so he left it in :P {{User:Brikkyy13/sig1}} 11:27, 12 August 2016 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == Re: ==<br /> Oh that leaker guy pmed me on Eurobricks after I asked him about it. :P {{User:Soupperson1/Sig}}<br /> <br /> == Funding LEGO Island's Wes Jenkins ==<br /> <br /> I came across this while browsing RRU: &lt;u&gt;rockraidersunited.com/topic/7361-please-help-wes-jenkins/&lt;/u&gt; Not sure if anyone here is a LEGO Island fan, or has cash to spare, but I thought I should share this for whatever purpose it could serve before the (incredibly-near) August 19th deadline.

That's okay ^~^ The presentation went pretty well, now that that discussion phase is done (it went from Nov 7 to Nov 20, and then the proposals were organized by the WMF Community Tech team), it's voting time! Currently so far, at: [[metawikimedia:2016 Community Wishlist Survey/Categories/Editing#Improve the History UI]] there's about 7 supports, 1 oppose, and 1 neutral. It's been improving so far and there's (hopefully!) going to be more voters voting on that proposal so that it could get more attention by the WMF staff :D So, it's actually not done yet because there's multiple phases, which I'll show you: (from the [[metawikimedia:2016 Community Wishlist Survey]] page ): <br /> #Submit, discuss and revise proposals: Nov 7-20, 2016<br /> #Community Tech reviews and organizes proposals: Nov 21–27<br /> #Vote for proposals: Nov 28–Dec 12 (current)<br /> #Results posted: Dec 15<br /> #Screening and assessment of top wishes by Community Tech team: end of December<br /> #Presentation of the initial assessment: Early January 2017<br /> #Working on wishes: January–December 2017!<br /> <br /> Hopefully it reaches one of the top wishes! That'd be pretty sweet :) (Also if you're wondering, I really just removed the stuff about it from my user page since from what I know, no one from here is eligible to vote, since it requires 200 edits across one or more Wikimedia projects, e.g MediaWiki.org, Wikimedia Commons, Wikisource, etc.) <br /> <br /> Oh and I forgot to tell ya, but I also made a watchlist proposal called [https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=2016_Community_Wishlist_Survey/Categories/Watchlists&amp;diff=16098789&amp;oldid=16098786#Watchlist_folders Watchlist folders], which got merged into [[metawikimedia:2016 Community Wishlist Survey/Categories/Watchlist#Watchlist priorities or Multiple watchlists|Watchlist priorities or Multiple watchlists]].

The guy is definitely a Grand Admiral, his uniform etc. and I think he is a new character. I think he's going to be the main villain of the film, the one commanding all the stormtroopers and such. I think it's going to be an action heavy and combat centered movie, considering the fact that people from the military were hired to be stormtroopers. The guy in black - I wouldn't be surprised if it is the emporer. If that's the case, I think it'll only be for one scene, kind of like Snoke in TFA. Hey, that's an idea, maybe the hooded figure is Snoke :O Don't underestimate Disney. You've probably picked up on it, but at the very end when Jyn turns to face the camera you can hear some very iconic breathing noises, and the music that follows is a mix of the force theme and the imperial march.<br /> I wasn't expecting that much footage from a teaser trailer considering what we got for TFA, but I guess they had to show a lot to make sure people don't think it's Episode VIII (watch the reviews come in and see people complain about how Rey, Finn and Kylo aren't in it). I think they may have showed a bit too much from the climax of the film though. It seems that a massive shuttle exploding like that could be a major plot point...<br /> I think it'll be a good movie. Hopefully the characters get decent archs, it would be a shame if they didn't - we already know the outcome of the main plot. (for that reason I've gone into full spoilerphobe mode, so watch your step :P) {{User:Brikkyy13/sig1}} 06:43, 12 April 2016 (UTC)<br /> : I like all these names, and I'm 100% sure that the character in the background is half Wookie half Sontaran :P I want to know what AT-ACT stands for, and how it's any different from the classic AT-ATs. I'm really digging the new TIE Striker and U-Wing, or specifically how awesome it'll be to have those in LEGO :P See, I told you! That movie gets better every time I see it. I went full nerd, saw it 8 times in theaters :P {{User:Brikkyy13/sig1}} 06:50, 19 May 2016 (UTC)<br /> :: I remember when the trailer dropped MSW reported that the AT-ATs (should I be calling them AT-ACTs?) looked like the ones from Rebels. I didn't know there were AT-ATs in Rebels, or that they were even different (then again, I'm way behind on rebels so I probably just haven't gotten up to it). I'd say trust their judgement because they're bigger Star Wars nerds then you could ever hope to be :P A lot of people have been thinking that the Strikers are prototype Interceptors. That makes a lot of sense to me, and it probably is legit. Hey, at least it's not a Q-Wing! (I tried to link to a YouTube video, the site blocked me with a spam filter :P look it up) People are saying that it's a troop transport, but I think the pictures make it look way bigger than it actually is. I still think it's a one-man ship. I saw someone say it looks like &quot;the product of a three way between an A-Wing, X-Wing and Zam Wessel's airspeeder&quot; XD If you want to talk about stuff being big an easy to hit, let's talk about B-Wings :P Do you have a link to Sir von Lego's post about that? I guess I missed it. {{User:Brikkyy13/sig1}} 00:44, 21 May 2016 (UTC)<br /> ::: Oh ok. Now that definitely seems way to big and easy to hit :P hopefully the actual ship will have the turning wings. I decided to go back and watch Rebels :P just got up to the first episode with AT-ATs (AT-ACTs? :P) and now I see a clear difference. The cockpit definitely has different detailings (guns, more squared off too the back), and there's one clear difference on the underside of the main body, it's missing the large cylender thingy (you know, the thing that's represented by a podracer engine on the LEGO versions :P). Oh right, duh should have checked there first. Silly me. {{User:Brikkyy13/sig1}} 10:39, 21 May 2016 (UTC)<br /> Shoretrooper sounds kind of cool :P<br /> I had no clue LEGO stuff leaked out of rogue one.

Yeah it is a bit disappointing that a lot of the footage is recycled. At least we got some great new stuff from the making of reel. Yes, I do watch rebels, the trailer looks so awesome! I will say that I don't like the idea of Ezra being tempted by the dark side, considering that we've seen way to much of that type of story already, but hopefully it plays out interestingly. {{User:Brikkyy13/sig1}} 07:17, 18 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> : The thing that gets me the most in big series (like SW) is when villains die before their character can be used to it's full potential. I think TFA would've been 1000 times better if the resistance didn't destroy Starkiller base. On that Starkiller note, starwars.com has the vote going for the next black series figure again, Galen Marek is a choice. Mara Jade is also on the list, sorry to say that shes losing the vote last time I checked. Never read Aftermath, won't read Life Debt until I do.

[[User:Berrybrick|Berrybrick]] ([[User talk:Berrybrick|talk]]) 00:49, 12 August 2016 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == RE: trailer ==<br /> Did you and I watch the same trailer? I'll start by saying that this is actually a full trailer, not a teaser, which I think is fantastic. They're going to route of not showing much, just like TFA. Other than the generic action shots (which look pretty cool, CGI looks great) the thing that I like the most is the cinematography. The film seems to mostly be shot from eye level perspective, and it makes for some great imagery (like the TIE crashing into what I assume is an AT-ACT cockpit, or the Death Star eclipsing the sun). It seems to be very different from anything we've seen in Star Wars before. If this film takes the right risks, which it should, it'll pay off.<br /> <br /> The one thing I didn't like: Vader had no reason to be in it. Reminds me of The Joker from the fist Suicide Squad trailer. {{User:Brikkyy13/sig1}} 06:15, 12 August 2016 (UTC)<br /> * I think the fact that it doesn't show &quot;anything new&quot; story wise is pretty cool, it keeps the mystery. But yes, show me the movie already! :P (it might be too soon, but I think that Rogue One will be better than TFA - mainly for the fact that it won't be fan-servicy and will try to be its own thing). Yeah that TIE shot does feel like it's right out of Rebels, but I still think it's pretty epic. The TIE looks really intimidating. I don't recal a rocket launcher being used in any of the other 7 films (still getting used to saying that there's 7 :P), but maybe a Clone used one in the background of one of the battles. {{User:Brikkyy13/sig1}} 09:54, 12 August 2016 (UTC)<br /> * My view is the complete opposite to yours. We know what's going to happen in the end, so everything else should be a surprise. I agree though, it should be a character driven film with great action scenes - it looks like it won't disappoint on that front. It would be really cool if Jyn just shoots the pilot Indy style, but I'm kind of hoping she jumps onto the tie a la Anakin and Zam Wessel. Random kind of unrelated fact that you may or may not have known: when shooting Raiders of the Lost Ark in Cairo, they shot the chase sequence in chronological order over 3 days. Everybody got food poising from the catering, including Harrison Ford. The script originally called for Indy to get into a fistfight with the swordsman, but Ford had aggressive diarrhea and was not up for it. When the crowd split to reveal the swordsman, Ford improvised with his gun. Spielberg liked it so he left it in :P {{User:Brikkyy13/sig1}} 11:27, 12 August 2016 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == Re: ==<br /> Oh that leaker guy pmed me on Eurobricks after I asked him about it. :P {{User:Soupperson1/Sig}}<br /> <br /> == Funding LEGO Island's Wes Jenkins ==<br /> <br /> I came across this while browsing RRU: &lt;u&gt;rockraidersunited.com/topic/7361-please-help-wes-jenkins/&lt;/u&gt; Not sure if anyone here is a LEGO Island fan, or has cash to spare, but I thought I should share this for whatever purpose it could serve before the (incredibly-near) August 19th deadline.

That's okay ^~^ The presentation went pretty well, now that that discussion phase is done (it went from Nov 7 to Nov 20, and then the proposals were organized by the WMF Community Tech team), it's voting time! Currently so far, at: [[metawikimedia:2016 Community Wishlist Survey/Categories/Editing#Improve the History UI]] there's about 7 supports, 1 oppose, and 1 neutral. It's been improving so far and there's (hopefully!) going to be more voters voting on that proposal so that it could get more attention by the WMF staff :D So, it's actually not done yet because there's multiple phases, which I'll show you: (from the [[metawikimedia:2016 Community Wishlist Survey]] page ): <br /> #Submit, discuss and revise proposals: Nov 7-20, 2016<br /> #Community Tech reviews and organizes proposals: Nov 21–27<br /> #Vote for proposals: Nov 28–Dec 12 (current)<br /> #Results posted: Dec 15<br /> #Screening and assessment of top wishes by Community Tech team: end of December<br /> #Presentation of the initial assessment: Early January 2017<br /> #Working on wishes: January–December 2017!<br /> <br /> Hopefully it reaches one of the top wishes! That'd be pretty sweet :) (Also if you're wondering, I really just removed the stuff about it from my user page since from what I know, no one from here is eligible to vote, since it requires 200 edits across one or more Wikimedia projects, e.g MediaWiki.org, Wikimedia Commons, Wikisource, etc.) <br /> <br /> Oh and I forgot to tell ya, but I also made a watchlist proposal called [https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=2016_Community_Wishlist_Survey/Categories/Watchlists&amp;diff=16098789&amp;oldid=16098786#Watchlist_folders Watchlist folders], which got merged into [[metawikimedia:2016 Community Wishlist Survey/Categories/Watchlist#Watchlist priorities or Multiple watchlists|Watchlist priorities or Multiple watchlists]].

The guy is definitely a Grand Admiral, his uniform etc. and I think he is a new character. I think he's going to be the main villain of the film, the one commanding all the stormtroopers and such. I think it's going to be an action heavy and combat centered movie, considering the fact that people from the military were hired to be stormtroopers. The guy in black - I wouldn't be surprised if it is the emporer. If that's the case, I think it'll only be for one scene, kind of like Snoke in TFA. Hey, that's an idea, maybe the hooded figure is Snoke :O Don't underestimate Disney. You've probably picked up on it, but at the very end when Jyn turns to face the camera you can hear some very iconic breathing noises, and the music that follows is a mix of the force theme and the imperial march.<br /> I wasn't expecting that much footage from a teaser trailer considering what we got for TFA, but I guess they had to show a lot to make sure people don't think it's Episode VIII (watch the reviews come in and see people complain about how Rey, Finn and Kylo aren't in it). I think they may have showed a bit too much from the climax of the film though. It seems that a massive shuttle exploding like that could be a major plot point...<br /> I think it'll be a good movie. Hopefully the characters get decent archs, it would be a shame if they didn't - we already know the outcome of the main plot. (for that reason I've gone into full spoilerphobe mode, so watch your step :P) {{User:Brikkyy13/sig1}} 06:43, 12 April 2016 (UTC)<br /> : I like all these names, and I'm 100% sure that the character in the background is half Wookie half Sontaran :P I want to know what AT-ACT stands for, and how it's any different from the classic AT-ATs. I'm really digging the new TIE Striker and U-Wing, or specifically how awesome it'll be to have those in LEGO :P See, I told you! That movie gets better every time I see it. I went full nerd, saw it 8 times in theaters :P {{User:Brikkyy13/sig1}} 06:50, 19 May 2016 (UTC)<br /> :: I remember when the trailer dropped MSW reported that the AT-ATs (should I be calling them AT-ACTs?) looked like the ones from Rebels. I didn't know there were AT-ATs in Rebels, or that they were even different (then again, I'm way behind on rebels so I probably just haven't gotten up to it). I'd say trust their judgement because they're bigger Star Wars nerds then you could ever hope to be :P A lot of people have been thinking that the Strikers are prototype Interceptors. That makes a lot of sense to me, and it probably is legit. Hey, at least it's not a Q-Wing! (I tried to link to a YouTube video, the site blocked me with a spam filter :P look it up) People are saying that it's a troop transport, but I think the pictures make it look way bigger than it actually is. I still think it's a one-man ship. I saw someone say it looks like &quot;the product of a three way between an A-Wing, X-Wing and Zam Wessel's airspeeder&quot; XD If you want to talk about stuff being big an easy to hit, let's talk about B-Wings :P Do you have a link to Sir von Lego's post about that? I guess I missed it. {{User:Brikkyy13/sig1}} 00:44, 21 May 2016 (UTC)<br /> ::: Oh ok. Now that definitely seems way to big and easy to hit :P hopefully the actual ship will have the turning wings. I decided to go back and watch Rebels :P just got up to the first episode with AT-ATs (AT-ACTs? :P) and now I see a clear difference. The cockpit definitely has different detailings (guns, more squared off too the back), and there's one clear difference on the underside of the main body, it's missing the large cylender thingy (you know, the thing that's represented by a podracer engine on the LEGO versions :P). Oh right, duh should have checked there first. Silly me. {{User:Brikkyy13/sig1}} 10:39, 21 May 2016 (UTC)<br /> Shoretrooper sounds kind of cool :P<br /> I had no clue LEGO stuff leaked out of rogue one.

Yeah it is a bit disappointing that a lot of the footage is recycled. At least we got some great new stuff from the making of reel. Yes, I do watch rebels, the trailer looks so awesome! I will say that I don't like the idea of Ezra being tempted by the dark side, considering that we've seen way to much of that type of story already, but hopefully it plays out interestingly. {{User:Brikkyy13/sig1}} 07:17, 18 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> : The thing that gets me the most in big series (like SW) is when villains die before their character can be used to it's full potential. I think TFA would've been 1000 times better if the resistance didn't destroy Starkiller base. On that Starkiller note, starwars.com has the vote going for the next black series figure again, Galen Marek is a choice. Mara Jade is also on the list, sorry to say that shes losing the vote last time I checked. Never read Aftermath, won't read Life Debt until I do.

[[User:Berrybrick|Berrybrick]] ([[User talk:Berrybrick|talk]]) 00:49, 12 August 2016 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == RE: trailer ==<br /> Did you and I watch the same trailer? I'll start by saying that this is actually a full trailer, not a teaser, which I think is fantastic. They're going to route of not showing much, just like TFA. Other than the generic action shots (which look pretty cool, CGI looks great) the thing that I like the most is the cinematography. The film seems to mostly be shot from eye level perspective, and it makes for some great imagery (like the TIE crashing into what I assume is an AT-ACT cockpit, or the Death Star eclipsing the sun). It seems to be very different from anything we've seen in Star Wars before. If this film takes the right risks, which it should, it'll pay off.<br /> <br /> The one thing I didn't like: Vader had no reason to be in it. Reminds me of The Joker from the fist Suicide Squad trailer. {{User:Brikkyy13/sig1}} 06:15, 12 August 2016 (UTC)<br /> * I think the fact that it doesn't show &quot;anything new&quot; story wise is pretty cool, it keeps the mystery. But yes, show me the movie already! :P (it might be too soon, but I think that Rogue One will be better than TFA - mainly for the fact that it won't be fan-servicy and will try to be its own thing). Yeah that TIE shot does feel like it's right out of Rebels, but I still think it's pretty epic. The TIE looks really intimidating. I don't recal a rocket launcher being used in any of the other 7 films (still getting used to saying that there's 7 :P), but maybe a Clone used one in the background of one of the battles. {{User:Brikkyy13/sig1}} 09:54, 12 August 2016 (UTC)<br /> * My view is the complete opposite to yours. We know what's going to happen in the end, so everything else should be a surprise. I agree though, it should be a character driven film with great action scenes - it looks like it won't disappoint on that front. It would be really cool if Jyn just shoots the pilot Indy style, but I'm kind of hoping she jumps onto the tie a la Anakin and Zam Wessel. Random kind of unrelated fact that you may or may not have known: when shooting Raiders of the Lost Ark in Cairo, they shot the chase sequence in chronological order over 3 days. Everybody got food poising from the catering, including Harrison Ford. The script originally called for Indy to get into a fistfight with the swordsman, but Ford had aggressive diarrhea and was not up for it. When the crowd split to reveal the swordsman, Ford improvised with his gun. Spielberg liked it so he left it in :P {{User:Brikkyy13/sig1}} 11:27, 12 August 2016 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == Re: ==<br /> Oh that leaker guy pmed me on Eurobricks after I asked him about it. :P {{User:Soupperson1/Sig}}<br /> <br /> == Funding LEGO Island's Wes Jenkins ==<br /> <br /> I came across this while browsing RRU: &lt;u&gt;rockraidersunited.com/topic/7361-please-help-wes-jenkins/&lt;/u&gt; Not sure if anyone here is a LEGO Island fan, or has cash to spare, but I thought I should share this for whatever purpose it could serve before the (incredibly-near) August 19th deadline.

That's okay ^~^ The presentation went pretty well, now that that discussion phase is done (it went from Nov 7 to Nov 20, and then the proposals were organized by the WMF Community Tech team), it's voting time! Currently so far, at: [[metawikimedia:2016 Community Wishlist Survey/Categories/Editing#Improve the History UI]] there's about 7 supports, 1 oppose, and 1 neutral. It's been improving so far and there's (hopefully!) going to be more voters voting on that proposal so that it could get more attention by the WMF staff :D So, it's actually not done yet because there's multiple phases, which I'll show you: (from the [[metawikimedia:2016 Community Wishlist Survey]] page ): <br /> #Submit, discuss and revise proposals: Nov 7-20, 2016<br /> #Community Tech reviews and organizes proposals: Nov 21–27<br /> #Vote for proposals: Nov 28–Dec 12 (current)<br /> #Results posted: Dec 15<br /> #Screening and assessment of top wishes by Community Tech team: end of December<br /> #Presentation of the initial assessment: Early January 2017<br /> #Working on wishes: January–December 2017!<br /> <br /> Hopefully it reaches one of the top wishes! That'd be pretty sweet :) (Also if you're wondering, I really just removed the stuff about it from my user page since from what I know, no one from here is eligible to vote, since it requires 200 edits across one or more Wikimedia projects, e.g MediaWiki.org, Wikimedia Commons, Wikisource, etc.) <br /> <br /> Oh and I forgot to tell ya, but I also made a watchlist proposal called [https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=2016_Community_Wishlist_Survey/Categories/Watchlists&amp;diff=16098789&amp;oldid=16098786#Watchlist_folders Watchlist folders], which got merged into [[metawikimedia:2016 Community Wishlist Survey/Categories/Watchlist#Watchlist priorities or Multiple watchlists|Watchlist priorities or Multiple watchlists]].

The guy is definitely a Grand Admiral, his uniform etc. and I think he is a new character. I think he's going to be the main villain of the film, the one commanding all the stormtroopers and such. I think it's going to be an action heavy and combat centered movie, considering the fact that people from the military were hired to be stormtroopers. The guy in black - I wouldn't be surprised if it is the emporer. If that's the case, I think it'll only be for one scene, kind of like Snoke in TFA. Hey, that's an idea, maybe the hooded figure is Snoke :O Don't underestimate Disney. You've probably picked up on it, but at the very end when Jyn turns to face the camera you can hear some very iconic breathing noises, and the music that follows is a mix of the force theme and the imperial march.<br /> I wasn't expecting that much footage from a teaser trailer considering what we got for TFA, but I guess they had to show a lot to make sure people don't think it's Episode VIII (watch the reviews come in and see people complain about how Rey, Finn and Kylo aren't in it). I think they may have showed a bit too much from the climax of the film though. It seems that a massive shuttle exploding like that could be a major plot point...<br /> I think it'll be a good movie. Hopefully the characters get decent archs, it would be a shame if they didn't - we already know the outcome of the main plot. (for that reason I've gone into full spoilerphobe mode, so watch your step :P) {{User:Brikkyy13/sig1}} 06:43, 12 April 2016 (UTC)<br /> : I like all these names, and I'm 100% sure that the character in the background is half Wookie half Sontaran :P I want to know what AT-ACT stands for, and how it's any different from the classic AT-ATs. I'm really digging the new TIE Striker and U-Wing, or specifically how awesome it'll be to have those in LEGO :P See, I told you! That movie gets better every time I see it. I went full nerd, saw it 8 times in theaters :P {{User:Brikkyy13/sig1}} 06:50, 19 May 2016 (UTC)<br /> :: I remember when the trailer dropped MSW reported that the AT-ATs (should I be calling them AT-ACTs?) looked like the ones from Rebels. I didn't know there were AT-ATs in Rebels, or that they were even different (then again, I'm way behind on rebels so I probably just haven't gotten up to it). I'd say trust their judgement because they're bigger Star Wars nerds then you could ever hope to be :P A lot of people have been thinking that the Strikers are prototype Interceptors. That makes a lot of sense to me, and it probably is legit. Hey, at least it's not a Q-Wing! (I tried to link to a YouTube video, the site blocked me with a spam filter :P look it up) People are saying that it's a troop transport, but I think the pictures make it look way bigger than it actually is. I still think it's a one-man ship. I saw someone say it looks like &quot;the product of a three way between an A-Wing, X-Wing and Zam Wessel's airspeeder&quot; XD If you want to talk about stuff being big an easy to hit, let's talk about B-Wings :P Do you have a link to Sir von Lego's post about that? I guess I missed it. {{User:Brikkyy13/sig1}} 00:44, 21 May 2016 (UTC)<br /> ::: Oh ok. Now that definitely seems way to big and easy to hit :P hopefully the actual ship will have the turning wings. I decided to go back and watch Rebels :P just got up to the first episode with AT-ATs (AT-ACTs? :P) and now I see a clear difference. The cockpit definitely has different detailings (guns, more squared off too the back), and there's one clear difference on the underside of the main body, it's missing the large cylender thingy (you know, the thing that's represented by a podracer engine on the LEGO versions :P). Oh right, duh should have checked there first. Silly me. {{User:Brikkyy13/sig1}} 10:39, 21 May 2016 (UTC)<br /> Shoretrooper sounds kind of cool :P<br /> I had no clue LEGO stuff leaked out of rogue one.

Yeah it is a bit disappointing that a lot of the footage is recycled. At least we got some great new stuff from the making of reel. Yes, I do watch rebels, the trailer looks so awesome! I will say that I don't like the idea of Ezra being tempted by the dark side, considering that we've seen way to much of that type of story already, but hopefully it plays out interestingly. {{User:Brikkyy13/sig1}} 07:17, 18 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> : The thing that gets me the most in big series (like SW) is when villains die before their character can be used to it's full potential. I think TFA would've been 1000 times better if the resistance didn't destroy Starkiller base. On that Starkiller note, starwars.com has the vote going for the next black series figure again, Galen Marek is a choice. Mara Jade is also on the list, sorry to say that shes losing the vote last time I checked. Never read Aftermath, won't read Life Debt until I do. A friend who read Aftermath said it was alright, but it was kind of all over the place.

[[User:Berrybrick|Berrybrick]] ([[User talk:Berrybrick|talk]]) 00:49, 12 August 2016 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == RE: trailer ==<br /> Did you and I watch the same trailer? I'll start by saying that this is actually a full trailer, not a teaser, which I think is fantastic. They're going to route of not showing much, just like TFA. Other than the generic action shots (which look pretty cool, CGI looks great) the thing that I like the most is the cinematography. The film seems to mostly be shot from eye level perspective, and it makes for some great imagery (like the TIE crashing into what I assume is an AT-ACT cockpit, or the Death Star eclipsing the sun). It seems to be very different from anything we've seen in Star Wars before. If this film takes the right risks, which it should, it'll pay off.<br /> <br /> The one thing I didn't like: Vader had no reason to be in it. Reminds me of The Joker from the fist Suicide Squad trailer. {{User:Brikkyy13/sig1}} 06:15, 12 August 2016 (UTC)<br /> * I think the fact that it doesn't show &quot;anything new&quot; story wise is pretty cool, it keeps the mystery. But yes, show me the movie already! :P (it might be too soon, but I think that Rogue One will be better than TFA - mainly for the fact that it won't be fan-servicy and will try to be its own thing). Yeah that TIE shot does feel like it's right out of Rebels, but I still think it's pretty epic. The TIE looks really intimidating. I don't recal a rocket launcher being used in any of the other 7 films (still getting used to saying that there's 7 :P), but maybe a Clone used one in the background of one of the battles. {{User:Brikkyy13/sig1}} 09:54, 12 August 2016 (UTC)<br /> * My view is the complete opposite to yours. We know what's going to happen in the end, so everything else should be a surprise. I agree though, it should be a character driven film with great action scenes - it looks like it won't disappoint on that front. It would be really cool if Jyn just shoots the pilot Indy style, but I'm kind of hoping she jumps onto the tie a la Anakin and Zam Wessel. Random kind of unrelated fact that you may or may not have known: when shooting Raiders of the Lost Ark in Cairo, they shot the chase sequence in chronological order over 3 days. Everybody got food poising from the catering, including Harrison Ford. The script originally called for Indy to get into a fistfight with the swordsman, but Ford had aggressive diarrhea and was not up for it. When the crowd split to reveal the swordsman, Ford improvised with his gun. Spielberg liked it so he left it in :P {{User:Brikkyy13/sig1}} 11:27, 12 August 2016 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == Re: ==<br /> Oh that leaker guy pmed me on Eurobricks after I asked him about it. :P {{User:Soupperson1/Sig}}<br /> <br /> == Funding LEGO Island's Wes Jenkins ==<br /> <br /> I came across this while browsing RRU: &lt;u&gt;rockraidersunited.com/topic/7361-please-help-wes-jenkins/&lt;/u&gt; Not sure if anyone here is a LEGO Island fan, or has cash to spare, but I thought I should share this for whatever purpose it could serve before the (incredibly-near) August 19th deadline.

(e.g &lt;code&gt;background-color: #fff;&lt;/code&gt; instead of &lt;code&gt;bgcolor=&quot;#fff&quot;&lt;/code&gt; As for ugliness, I actually happen to disagree and think that it's more readable, but oh well. :P (Fun fact, did you know that lowercasing helps performance? Not by much but here it is if you want to check it out. http://www.websiteoptimization.com/speed/tweak/lowercase/ It's pretty minor but I just prefer writing in lowercase.

That's okay ^~^ The presentation went pretty well, now that that discussion phase is done (it went from Nov 7 to Nov 20, and then the proposals were organized by the WMF Community Tech team), it's voting time! Currently so far, at: [[metawikimedia:2016 Community Wishlist Survey/Categories/Editing#Improve the History UI]] there's about 7 supports, 1 oppose, and 1 neutral. It's been improving so far and there's (hopefully!) going to be more voters voting on that proposal so that it could get more attention by the WMF staff :D So, it's actually not done yet because there's multiple phases, which I'll show you: (from the [[metawikimedia:2016 Community Wishlist Survey]] page ): <br /> #Submit, discuss and revise proposals: Nov 7-20, 2016<br /> #Community Tech reviews and organizes proposals: Nov 21–27<br /> #Vote for proposals: Nov 28–Dec 12 (current)<br /> #Results posted: Dec 15<br /> #Screening and assessment of top wishes by Community Tech team: end of December<br /> #Presentation of the initial assessment: Early January 2017<br /> #Working on wishes: January–December 2017!<br /> <br /> Hopefully it reaches one of the top wishes! That'd be pretty sweet :) (Also if you're wondering, I really just removed the stuff about it from my user page since from what I know, no one from here is eligible to vote, since it requires 200 edits across one or more Wikimedia projects, e.g MediaWiki.org, Wikimedia Commons, Wikisource, etc.) <br /> <br /> Oh and I forgot to tell ya, but I also made a watchlist proposal called [https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=2016_Community_Wishlist_Survey/Categories/Watchlists&amp;diff=16098789&amp;oldid=16098786#Watchlist_folders Watchlist folders], which got merged into [[metawikimedia:2016 Community Wishlist Survey/Categories/Watchlist#Watchlist priorities or Multiple watchlists|Watchlist priorities or Multiple watchlists]].

And we'll be ready!|Kai at the end of &quot;[[Rise of the Spinjitzu Master]]&quot;}}<br /> <br /> '''Kai''' is the [[Ninjago]] red ninja of fire [[minifigure]] first released in [[2011]]. [[Sensei Wu]] entrusted the map to the golden weapons to Kai's father. He is the brother of [[Nya]]. He was a blacksmith before apprenticing himself to [[Sensei Wu]]. Kai is fiery in both fighting style and temper, and a very independent character. However, he eventually gained control over his impulsive tendencies.<br /> <br /> == Description ==<br /> === Variants ===<br /> Kai, like the other ninja, has several different variations.<br /> [[File:Kai Ninja of fire.jpg|right|100px|Kai]]<br /> ==== Trainee ====<br /> Kai's original costume, which appeared in several sets in 2011, is almost entirely red. His legs are red, printed with a dark red sash, which is also printed on his hips. His torso is also red, with black hands. It is printed with several dark red sashes, which are connected to a gold badge, that looks rather like a lion. His face is yellow, and shows a determined expression. It has several red scars running across it. He wears a red ninja wrap.<br /> <br /> ==== DX ====<br /> [[File:KaiDX.png|100px|left|Kai DX]]<br /> <br /> Kai's DX variant is, fairly similar to his regular version, but with notably different printing. The DX version's lower section, like those of the regular one, are printed with a sash on the legs and hip, but, unlike its predecessor, it has a fiery dragon tail printed on it. The torso is pure red, with black hands, and a fiery dragon printed on it in gold. On the back of the torso, is printed Kai's name. The face and wrap used on the variation are identical to those used previously.<br /> [[File:Kendokai.jpg|100px|right|Kendo Kai on a spinner]]<br /> <br /> ==== Kendo ====<br /> This version of Kai, first introduced in [[2012]], has Kai's basic legs-that is, red, printed with a sash. The torso has black hands, and is covered with kendo armour, but, underneath, is exactly the same as that used by Kai's basic variant in 2011. His head is, again, the same that is used by his basic variant, but, instead of a ninja wrap, he wears a kendo helmet, which bears a distinct resemblance to a grilled hockey mask.<br /> [[File:KaiZX.png|100px|left|Kai ZX]]<br /> ==== ZX ====<br /> Kai's ZX variant has red legs printed with the bottom of a tunic, and a red torso (with dark red arms and black hands), printed with a tunic, dark red armour, and a dark red belt (with an unidentified silver tool in it). He wears around his neck a sheath-like object, which katanas can be stuck into. His face is he same as that used in all his prior variations, but his wrap is notably different, as it has a large gold ornament attached to it's front. &lt;br /&gt; Another version of the ZX suit is available, that has a large jetpack attached to it's back in place of the scabbard.<br /> <br /> ==== NRG ====<br /> [[File:NRGKai3.png|105px|right|NRG Kai]]<br /> NRG Kai has red legs, a red torso with a large explosion printed on it, and a red face with a rather demonic expression. His wrap is similar to the one used by his ZX form, but has a thinner ornament that resembles fire.<br /> <br /> === Kimono ===<br /> [[File:PWRKai.jpg|left|150px]]<br /> Kai wearing his elemental robes appears in [[Island of Darkness]] and is exclusive to the set [[70500 Kai's Fire Mech]].<br /> <br /> === Techno Robes ===<br /> [[File:Kai 2014.png|right| 125px]]<br /> Kai wears his Techno Robes when fighting the [[Nindroid]]s. [[OverBorg|Cyrus Borg]] made the suits with facial recognition scrambling technology. His torso features firey design and he has unprinted legs. His mask only covers half of his face allowing his hairpiece to be included in a set for the first time ever. <br /> === 2015 ===<br /> In 2015, Kai gets two new robes, Jungle which are red, with his Fire symbol, and a ZX wrap with another fire symbol, and a tournament outfit which uses the techno robe bandanna.<br /> [[File:70745-kai.jpg|right|125px]]<br /> <br /> In his '''Deepstone Robes''' Kai has black robes with red straps holding a fire badge in place.<br /> [[File:70735-kai.jpg|left|125px]]<br /> ==== Microfigure ====<br /> As a Microfigure, Kai is exclusive to the set [[3856 Ninjago]]. He is composed of a single red piece, which is moulded with bumps to represent arms and legs, and printed with his red clothes, a gold badge, and a sash, as well as the small portion of his face visible under his wrap.<br /> [[File:Kai stage 1.png|right|Kai as a blacksmith]]<br /> <br /> ==== Alarm Clock ====<br /> <br /> As an alarm clock (the set [[9003097 Kai Minifigure Clock]]), Kai is very similar to his basic form from 2011, but he is considerable larger, made out of a single part (although his limbs can be moved), and has a digital clock-face in his chest.<br /> <br /> ==== Blacksmith ====<br /> Kai as a blacksmith only appears in the televised version of Ninjago,Set The Four Weapons Blacksmith Shop from 2011, and in [[LEGO Battles: Ninjago]]. He has fairly basic legs, a white torso printed with a heavy-duty apron, his basic face, and in the video game, brown [[Exo-Force]] hair.<br /> <br /> == Background ==<br /> === Before the Ninja ===<br /> {{Quote|It's called Four Weapons, not For Browsing. So either buy something, or go peddle your insults someplace else!|Kai to Sensei Wu before becoming a ninja}}<br /> Before Kai became apprenticed to [[Sensei Wu]] as a ninja, he and his sister [[Nya]] worked in their [[2508 Blacksmith|family blacksmith shop]], ''Four Weapons'', which had previously been owned by their (now deceased) father.<br /> <br /> <br /> === Introduction to Spinjitzu ===<br /> [[File:BS-1.png|100px|right|The ''Four Weapons'' shop]]<br /> Once, when Kai and his sister, [[Nya]] were working the ''Four Weapons'' blacksmith shop, they were approached by [[Sensei Wu]], who showed disdain for the weapons they made, claiming that they would be useless in the art of stealth.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite episode/PMM|1|101}}&lt;/ref&gt; He also said that they were fit weapons for a samurai, but useless for a ninja. Kai drove him off, but he then disappeared when Kai turned his back. Moments later, a dark cloud appeared over the village, which local farmers were the first to notice. On the edge of a hill, a large vehicle (the [[2506 Skull Truck|Skull Truck]]) appeared along with many motorcycles, all with skullkin aboard them, notably [[General Nuckal]], [[Kruncha]], and [[Samukai]]. The farmers attempted to attack the skullkins, only to run away at the last second. Then, Kai, wearing hand-crafted samurai armour, helmet, and sword, engaged the skullkin in battle, with [[Nya]] joining in. Kai was nearly killed by Samukai, only to be saved by Sensei Wu, who reappeared just in time. He was not able to save Nya, who was kidnapped under the orders of [[Lord Garmadon]]. Sensei then told Kai the history of Ninjago.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite episode/PMM|1|101}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> After telling Kai the story, Sensei told Kai that his father had a map made by Wu, showing the locations of the hidden Golden Weapons, and also that Garmadon had struck a deal with [[Samukai]], and that Wu was Garmadon's younger brother. Kai at first refused to get involved, until realizing he wouldn't stand a chance against the skullkin on his own.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite episode/PMM|1|101}}&lt;/ref&gt; &lt;br /&gt; <br /> He then trained in [[2504 Spinjitzu Dojo|Wu's monastery]], and, after completing his training, awaited a final test, but is told he had already learned spinjitzu.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite episode/PMM|1|101}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;br /&gt; <br /> Later that night, Kai was ambushed by three ninja,&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite episode/PMM|1|101}}&lt;/ref&gt; and the ensuing battle causes him to be thrown out onto the training grounds. Kai activated the training course and the obstacles disarmed his attackers. Moments later, Sensei Wu stops the fight, revealing that the three are his other students. Sensei then uses spinjitzu to transform their black costumes into outfits corresponding with their element. The four are introduced to each other: [[Cole]], the black ninja of earth; [[Jay (Ninjago)|Jay]], the blue ninja of lightning; [[Zane]], the white ninja of ice and a seer with sixth sense; and Kai, the red ninja of fire. Introductions were cut short as Wu announced the search for the golden weapons had now begun.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite episode/PMM|1|102}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> === The Search for The Golden Weapons ===<br /> {{Quote|Watch out evil. I burn.|Kai}}<br /> Their first destination of the ninja was the Caves of Despair, where the Scythe of Quakes was hidden. Here, Kai raced off in hopes of finding his sister. Instead, he nearly was caught by the skullkin [[Krazi]], who would have raised the alarm, but the other ninja got there in time, and shoved his Bone weapon into his mouth. As the four captured the Scythe, they were attacked by [[Samukai]] and a whole legion of skullkin. [[Jay (Ninjago)|Jay]] noticed that the enemies were just like the training course, and after going through the motions Wu taught him, he summoned a tornado of energy corresponding with his element, lightning. In so doing, he performed spinjitzu, and was quickly copied by the others. Samukai and his legion retreated, as they saw the [[2509 Earth Dragon Defence|Earth Dragon]], guardian of the Scythe appear behind the ninja. In desperation, Kai used the scythe, despite Wu's instruction not to use the weapon's power, as no mortal could handle it. A rift appeared in the cave ceiling, and the ninja managed to escape. Wu became quite angry at Kai for using the weapon's power.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite episode/PMM|1|102}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> As the ninja were aboard a boat, sailing to reach the desolate frozen planes in which the Shurikens of Ice were to be found, Wu taught them the most powerful move in spinjitzu: the Tornado of Creation.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite episode/PMM|1|103}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;br /&gt; The boat arrived at it's destination, crashing into the island, and the ninja entered the frozen plains. The group yet again escape [[2260 Ice Dragon Attack|a dragon guarding the weapons]], and, as [[Zane]] was frozen upon contact with the shurikens, the others used him as a snowboard.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite episode/PMM|1|103}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> With the shurikens being in their possession, they continued on. At the Floating Ruins, they climbed a giant chain to the Nunchucks of lightning, retrieving them, but being forced to jump off of it to escape the [[2521 Lightning Dragon Battle|lightning dragon]]. The four survive this experience because of special inventions made by Jay, backpacks that spawn wings.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite episode/PMM|1|103}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> The ninja were at such a high altitude when they jumped, that they were able to fly to all the way to the Forest of Tranquility, the location of the Sword of Fire. After a long day's work, everyone fell asleep. Kai was then awoken by none other than Nya. She ran away, and Kai chased her through the forest, eventually entering [[2507 Fire Temple|the Fire Temple]].&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite episode/PMM|1|103}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> [[File:2507-1.png|thumb|left|The Fire Temple]] Nya was then revealed to be an illusion created by [[Lord Garmadon]] to lure Kai there. He exploits the fact that Kai had forgotten his sword, and that the real Nya is hanging from chains above a pit of lava. Garmadon tells him the only way to save Nya is to pull the Sword of Fire out of the rock it is stuck in. Kai obtains the sword, cuts Nya free, and was then confronted by solid shadows. Wu arrived, and attempted to take them out, but then the Fire Dragon appeared. Sensei decided to make a sacrifice, and jumped on a rock that was headed down a lava fall so he may bring the sword to the Underworld. Kai tried to ask Sensei if there was another way, and blamed himself for going after Nya alone, but was is too late-Wu was in the Underworld.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite episode/PMM|1|103}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> === Battle with Lord Garmadon ===<br /> {{Quote|You thought I was hot before. Well now I got a dragon, and I'm really on fire!|Kai DX}}<br /> [[File:kai4.png|thumb|right|Kai with the Sword of Fire]] The other ninja then traveled to the Fire temple, where [[Zane]] sensed the Sword of Fire was. Kai and Nya then appeared with the Fire Dragon. After the others got the dragons of their respective elements to assist them, they go to the underworld, where they then battle an army of skullkin and giant spiders, using the Tornado of Creation. Kai and the other ninja then entered Garmadon's throne room where they witnessed [[Samukai]] defeat Wu. Samukai then grabbed the Sword of Fire. He planned to destroy Garmadon with the weapons, but soon disintegrates from all of the power streaming into him from all the Golden Weapons, and in his place is created a portal which Garmadon goes through, and escapes the underworld. When he is gone, Sensei Wu informed the ninja that he will return one day. The four ninja then return to Kai and Nya's village, where they are welcomed by Nya and the villagers as heroes.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite episode/PMM|1|104}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> === Awakening of the Serpentine ===<br /> After a long period in inactivity following Garmadon's escape, Kai and the other ninja went to investigate a report of his return. They went to Jamonicia village and see [[Lloyd Garmadon]], his son, terrorizing the villagers. After the ninja defeated him and left him to the villagers, Kai found a scroll telling of the coming of the mysterious [[Green Ninja]], the most powerful ninja of all. He asks himself if it is possible that he will become him. To determine, he challenges the other ninja to a fight. After beating [[Jay]], he faced off against [[Cole]], during which his sword nearly burned down the entire monastery. Afterwords, Sensei Wu announced that the the Serpentine, an ancient and dangerous race of snake people are back, and are terrorizing Jamonicia village. The ninja return there, and encounter the Hypnobrai tribe of Serpentine, who have been awakened by Lloyd. Kai's appearance in this battle is limited, and shows that his Spinjitzu is too unstable to control. After the battle, he asks Sensei Wu to teach all of them the secrets of the golden weapons.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite episode|1|101}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> [[File:9446-3.jpg|thumb|right|The ''Destiny's Bounty'']]<br /> Afterwards, he and the other ninja made fun of [[Zane]] for his odd behavior. Zane then discovered Lloyd Garmadon's tree-house, and lead the other ninja their. After Cole, who was hypnotized by [[Skales]] of the Hypnobrai, is pitched against the others, Kai refuses to use his sword in fear of destroying the entire place. After Sensei Wu un-entrances him, they return to see the monastery in flames. Kai is the first to turn on Zane. After Zane flies off, Kai and the other ninja take shelter, and then see Zane approaching them. After he explains that he flew off to see his falcon, he leads them to their new home, the ship [[9446 Destiny's Bounty|Destiny's Bounty]].&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite episode|1|102}}&lt;/ref&gt; &lt;br /&gt;<br /> <br /> Later, on the ship, [[Jay (ninjago)|Jay's]] parents, [[Ed]] and [[Edna]] Walker, come to visit. Jay manages to get them to leave, but promises to visit them at their junkyard the next day. He and the other ninja then go there, only to find the place overrun with members of the Fangpyre tribe, another breed of Serpentine, once again awoken by Lloyd. Kai and the other ninja defeat the Fangpyre, and Nya creates an anti-venom to their poison.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite episode|1|103}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> During training a day or so later, Sensei Wu asks the ninja a riddle: &quot;What is the best way to defeat an enemy?&quot; Kai answers &quot;to train&quot;, but is incorrect.<br /> Later, the ninja discover that Lloyd, with the aid of the Serpentine [[Pythor P. Chumsworth]], have taken over the Boarding School for Bad Boys, from which Lloyd was expelled. The ninja arrive at the school, and rescue the captured students. The ninja corner Pythor and Lloyd on the roof, and Pythor steals Lloyd's map (which shows the locations of the other tribe's tombs), and escapes, leaving Lloyd to the ninja. Later that night, after Lloyd has fallen asleep, Sensei revealed that the answer to his riddle was &quot;To make them your friend&quot;.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite episode|1|104}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> === Samurai X ===<br /> At Sensei Wu's orders, Lloyd played various tricks on the ninja, one of which mixed up Kai and Zane's uniforms in the laundry, turning Zane's pink. Shortly after this, Nya discovered and revealed the location of the tombs of the Constrictai and Venomari. The ninja split into two teams, Kai and Jay teamed up to find the Venomari Tomb, and Zane teamed up with Cole to find that of the Constrictai. On their mission, Kai and Jay were attacked by Pythor and the Venomari (The Venomari spit venom into his eyes not only making him a bit Waco., but also makes him see what he fears: elves, and gingerbread people), but were saved by [[Samurai X]], who then drugged them with knock-out gas.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite episode|1|105}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To stop the Serpentine tribes uniting, the ninja traveled to Ninjago city, where the Serpentine had gone. However, they were all captured except Zane, who later freed them, and used the Shurikens of Ice to help them escape.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite episode|1|105}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> One day, a package arrived for the ninja, containing new ZX suits, which the ninja put on. Nya then told the ninja that the Serpentine had invaded the Mega Monster amusement park. However, by the time they got there, they find the serpentine tied up and helpless. It was then revealed by several onlookers that a samurai captured the snakes. The ninja then decide that whoever finds out the identity of Samurai X first should become the green ninja.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite episode|1|106}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Later, Kai is forced to baby-sit Lloyd. Determined to find out the identity of the samurai, he leaves him at an arcade. Later, back at Destiny's Bounty, Sensei Wu asks where Lloyd is, and Kai realises that he is missing. He and the other ninja are then sent to find him.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite episode|1|106}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;br /&gt; They discover his tracks sometime later, and, by following them, find the city of Ouroborous, where Pythor has just taken over the tribes of Serpentine. Naturally, the ninja try to rescue Lloyd, but are captured, and forced to fight Samurai X. [[File:NyaReveal.png|thumb|right|[[Nya]] reveals herself to be Samurai X.]] After a long fight, the ninja and the samurai agree to work together to escape. The samurai uses the rockets in her mech-suit to escape, and the ninja grab on, and are flown to safety. However, after they have been dropped off, the mech-suit malfunctions, and falls to the ground. Kai, who was separated from the rest of the group, went to investigate, and discovered that the samurai was none other than Nya. However, Nya swears him to secrecy, asking him not to tell anyone the truth about her.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite episode|1|106}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> === The Great Devourer ===<br /> In the course of a battle against the [[Treehorn]]s, [[Zane]] discovers that he is a robot, and unlocks his full potential, becoming an NRG ninja. The same day, [[Sensei Wu]] tells a story of [[The Great Devourer]], a giant evil snake, and how its venom corrupted [[Lord Garmadon]] when he was young. Wu then leaves the ninja to find Garmadon. While he's gone, Jay and Cole discover their full potentials too, so Kai is the only one left who doesn't. That makes him think he will become the Green Ninja. When he puts sensei's green ninja suit on, Wu arrives and he quickly hides. Wu brings Garmadon to the ship saying that he turned good and that he is there only to protect Lloyd. Kai doesn't trust him and attacks him. He locks them both inside a room where they finght with Golden Weapons. He thinks that if he defeats him, he will discover his full potential. Cole breaks the door and stops their fight. Later Kai discovered his full potential when he saved [[Lloyd Garmadon]] instead of going after the fang blade. When they get back to the ship, Golden Weapons react near Lloyd and he is revealed to be the Green Ninja.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite episode|1|107}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> === Back in Time ===<br /> Once taking the golden weapons, [[Lord Garmadon]] goes to the Golden Peaks, the birthplace of the golden weapons and combines their power creating a Mega Weapon. The Mega Weapon then gave Garmadon the power to grant him any whish but drains his power every time he uses it. In the episode &quot;Wrong Place, Wrong Time&quot;, Lord Garmadon uses the Mega Weapon to go back in time and make it so that Lloyd would never become the green ninja. The ninja later find out about his plan and jump into the portal Garmadon created with his Mega Weapon to stop him. The ninja get back in time and fall through a portal. They find themselves in the village of [[Ignacia]], at the time Wu came to Kai's shop and even before Skulkins attacked the land. They catch old Wu and explain him about the situation. This time, skeletons don't kidnap Nya and Kai from the past has no will to become a ninja. Wu then leads him and Nya to the monastery. Ninja decide to dress like skeletons and kidnap Nya so past Kai can get a reason to become the ninja. They did that, and Garmadon took Nya to the Fire Temple. Present Kai reveals himself to his past self, and they work together to defeat Garmadon. They success by destroying the Mega Weapon and Kai, along with other ninjas comes back safely.<br /> <br /> === Rebooted ===<br /> The Ninja remained on the comet until Lloyd inspired them to use their elemental powers and Arturus' remains to create a new ship, using Zane's heart as a power source. They manage to escape the comet and use their elemental shields upon entering the atmosphere to land safely in their vehicles where they reunite with P.I.X.A.L., Nya, Garmadon and Wu. They soon received a message from Borg urging them to head for the Temple of Fortitude, a place where the Overlord and the First Spinjitzu Master battled long ago, where he has a weapon that could defeat the Overlord.<br /> <br /> Using his Kai Fighter, Kai managed to get into New Ninjago City which the Overlord has turned into an inescapable fortress. Nya was soon taken down in her Samurai Mech and the Ninja diverted course to rescue her, only to encounter the Golden Master himself. He used a massive Spinjitzu tornado to try and destroy them, but they reach the temple in time, blocking the Golden Master by using the shield against him. There, Cyrus presents them with the ultimate weapon—a diet pill. Though it doesn't do what its intent is, the pill has a side effect of shrinking its consumer's entire figure. Garmadon recalls that when he and Wu were still young, they use to play Temple Gate Tiger; a game which involved Wu hitting an object with his staff, and the brothers would never lose. He and Wu assure the Ninja that if they are able to get them close enough, then they would hit the pill straight into the Overlord's mouth.<br /> <br /> Kai and the other Ninja don armour of the the Stone Warriors, which will protect them against the Golden Master just as the shield begins to break. The Ninja race into Ninjago City as the Overlord hurls objects at them, but with the armour, they do not slow. The senseis throw the pill towards the Overlord, but Pythor sacrifices himself and swallows pill instead. As a result, Pythor becomes miniscule and is chased away by the Falcon. Outraged by their attempt, the Golden Master tangles Kai and the ninja in his webs with his Golden Power, though Zane manages to escape. The Ninja of Ice asks his friends to support him one last time, and Kai bounced him to the Golden Master and he grabed the armour. Eventually Kai and the others were freed and begged Zane to let go, but the Ninja of Ice continues to freeze the Overlord, forcing Kai and the others to take refuge underground. When they deemed it safe to emerge, they find the city has become a frozen wasteland and come across the last remnant of their friend. At Zane's memorial, Kai gave a eulogy expressing his belief that Zane was powered by brotherhood, as that's how Zane powered him. As he finishes, snow began to fall, and the Ninja and their senseis gather around the statue. (&quot;[[The Titanium Ninja]]&quot;)<br /> <br /> === The Tournament of Elements ===<br /> [[File:Kai35.png|180px|thumb|right|Declared as victor]]<br /> With Zane gone, the team became fractured and eventually Kai quit being a ninja in favor of fighting in an underground Slither Pit as &quot;The Red Shogun.&quot; After a fight wherein he easily defeated [[Kruncha]], he was visited by Lloyd who attempted to get the Master of Fire to return to his former way. Kai at first refused, though after a visit to Zane's statue, he met up with Lloyd, Jay, and Cole at Mr. Chen's Noodle House. Shortly after Kai objected to Lloyd's idea of adding a new ninja to replace Zane, [[Eyezor]] stormed in seeking trouble. The ninja soon found themselves united against the thugs as they battled them using food, until they retreated into an alleyway. The Ninja pursued, but all they found was a poster declaring Zane to be alive and an invitation to [[Master Chen]]'s tournament of elements. <br /> <br /> [[File:KvK351.png|180px|thumb|left|Facing Karlof]]<br /> While at first suspicious, the Ninja decided to accept and boarded [[Clouse]]'s ferry along with the other contestants and Garmadon, who had followed Lloyd. On the ride to the island, Garmadon explained to them of the Elemental Masters. When Kai noticed [[Karlof]] harassing [[Skylor]], he intervened, though he quickly found himself in a duel between the Master of Metal that carried them all over the ship. Neither side won however, for Clouse broke up the fight as they were in sight of the island. (&quot;[[The Invitation]]&quot;)<br /> <br /> === Memory loss ===<br /> Soon after, the Ninja relocated to the mountain of Spinjago to live. At one point, Kai retold their adventures on Chen's island, though over-exaggerated his role and how things actually played out. (&quot;[[LEGO Ninjago: Shadow of Ronin]]&quot;)<br /> <br /> {{clear}}<br /> <br /> == Variation history ==<br /> Kai's original variation was a basic &quot;ninja suit&quot;. It has no special powers, and was given to him by Sensei Wu. His second variation, his DX version, was a special suit, received after he has met his dragon, and found the Sword of Fire. His kendo variation, used after that, was his regular variation, but with extra armour, for use in training. His ZX version arrived mysteriously in the mail, and is an upgraded version of his regular suit. In the episode &quot;The Green Ninja&quot; Kai unlocked his full potential and turned into his NRG variant by saving [[Lloyd Garmadon]] in the Fire Temple instead of getting the fangblade. His Elemental Robe was unlocked when the ninja made it to the [[70505 Temple of Light|Temple of Light]] and Lloyd struck the &quot;instrument of peace&quot;.<br /> <br /> == LEGO.com descriptions ==<br /> === Original Version ===<br /> {{QuoteLEGO.com<br /> |Not a product description?(Y, N)=Y<br /> |Description from LEGO.com=<br /> <br /> '''Kai''' <br /> <br /> '''Weapon of choice:''' Sword &lt;br /&gt;<br /> '''Elemental color:''' Red &lt;br /&gt;<br /> '''Strength:''' Attack<br /> <br /> Kai is like fire; he's wild and dangerous. He's quick to act, quick to attack, and quick to get into big, big trouble. He's very good at finding trouble.<br /> <br /> Kai can't wait for anything. He jumps headfirst into a pool before checking to see if there's fire in it. He hopes there is…he wants to fight it.

He has a strong sense of justice and will fight anything, bend any rule and burn any bridge on his path.<br /> <br /> Kai learned the value of teamwork the hard way but change is hard when you're used to doing things YOUR way. Once in disbelief of his purpose, Kai now feels destined for greatness and will do anything to fulfill his destiny. Sometimes without thinking things through or telling is team mates first. &lt;br /&gt; Will he learn how to control the fire that burns inside him?<br /> }}<br /> <br /> == Gallery of Variants ==<br

The guy is definitely a Grand Admiral, his uniform etc. and I think he is a new character. I think he's going to be the main villain of the film, the one commanding all the stormtroopers and such. I think it's going to be an action heavy and combat centered movie, considering the fact that people from the military were hired to be stormtroopers. The guy in black - I wouldn't be surprised if it is the emporer. If that's the case, I think it'll only be for one scene, kind of like Snoke in TFA. Hey, that's an idea, maybe the hooded figure is Snoke :O Don't underestimate Disney. You've probably picked up on it, but at the very end when Jyn turns to face the camera you can hear some very iconic breathing noises, and the music that follows is a mix of the force theme and the imperial march.<br /> I wasn't expecting that much footage from a teaser trailer considering what we got for TFA, but I guess they had to show a lot to make sure people don't think it's Episode VIII (watch the reviews come in and see people complain about how Rey, Finn and Kylo aren't in it). I think they may have showed a bit too much from the climax of the film though. It seems that a massive shuttle exploding like that could be a major plot point...<br /> I think it'll be a good movie. Hopefully the characters get decent archs, it would be a shame if they didn't - we already know the outcome of the main plot. (for that reason I've gone into full spoilerphobe mode, so watch your step :P) {{User:Brikkyy13/sig1}} 06:43, 12 April 2016 (UTC)<br /> : I like all these names, and I'm 100% sure that the character in the background is half Wookie half Sontaran :P I want to know what AT-ACT stands for, and how it's any different from the classic AT-ATs. I'm really digging the new TIE Striker and U-Wing, or specifically how awesome it'll be to have those in LEGO :P See, I told you! That movie gets better every time I see it. I went full nerd, saw it 8 times in theaters :P {{User:Brikkyy13/sig1}} 06:50, 19 May 2016 (UTC)<br /> :: I remember when the trailer dropped MSW reported that the AT-ATs (should I be calling them AT-ACTs?) looked like the ones from Rebels. I didn't know there were AT-ATs in Rebels, or that they were even different (then again, I'm way behind on rebels so I probably just haven't gotten up to it). I'd say trust their judgement because they're bigger Star Wars nerds then you could ever hope to be :P A lot of people have been thinking that the Strikers are prototype Interceptors. That makes a lot of sense to me, and it probably is legit. Hey, at least it's not a Q-Wing! (I tried to link to a YouTube video, the site blocked me with a spam filter :P look it up) People are saying that it's a troop transport, but I think the pictures make it look way bigger than it actually is. I still think it's a one-man ship. I saw someone say it looks like &quot;the product of a three way between an A-Wing, X-Wing and Zam Wessel's airspeeder&quot; XD If you want to talk about stuff being big an easy to hit, let's talk about B-Wings :P Do you have a link to Sir von Lego's post about that? I guess I missed it. {{User:Brikkyy13/sig1}} 00:44, 21 May 2016 (UTC)<br /> ::: Oh ok. Now that definitely seems way to big and easy to hit :P hopefully the actual ship will have the turning wings. I decided to go back and watch Rebels :P just got up to the first episode with AT-ATs (AT-ACTs? :P) and now I see a clear difference. The cockpit definitely has different detailings (guns, more squared off too the back), and there's one clear difference on the underside of the main body, it's missing the large cylender thingy (you know, the thing that's represented by a podracer engine on the LEGO versions :P). Oh right, duh should have checked there first. Silly me. {{User:Brikkyy13/sig1}} 10:39, 21 May 2016 (UTC)<br /> Shoretrooper sounds kind of cool :P<br /> I had no clue LEGO stuff leaked out of rogue one.

Yeah it is a bit disappointing that a lot of the footage is recycled. At least we got some great new stuff from the making of reel. Yes, I do watch rebels, the trailer looks so awesome! I will say that I don't like the idea of Ezra being tempted by the dark side, considering that we've seen way to much of that type of story already, but hopefully it plays out interestingly. {{User:Brikkyy13/sig1}} 07:17, 18 July 2016 (UTC)<br /> : The thing that gets me the most in big series (like SW) is when villains die before their character can be used to it's full potential. I think TFA would've been 1000 times better if the resistance didn't destroy Starkiller base. On that Starkiller note, starwars.com has the vote going for the next black series figure again, Galen Marek is a choice. Mara Jade is also on the list, sorry to say that shes losing the vote last time I checked. Never read Aftermath, won't read Life Debt until I do.

[[User:Berrybrick|Berrybrick]] ([[User talk:Berrybrick|talk]]) 00:49, 12 August 2016 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == RE: trailer ==<br /> Did you and I watch the same trailer? I'll start by saying that this is actually a full trailer, not a teaser, which I think is fantastic. They're going to route of not showing much, just like TFA. Other than the generic action shots (which look pretty cool, CGI looks great) the thing that I like the most is the cinematography. The film seems to mostly be shot from eye level perspective, and it makes for some great imagery (like the TIE crashing into what I assume is an AT-ACT cockpit, or the Death Star eclipsing the sun). It seems to be very different from anything we've seen in Star Wars before. If this film takes the right risks, which it should, it'll pay off.<br /> <br /> The one thing I didn't like: Vader had no reason to be in it. Reminds me of The Joker from the fist Suicide Squad trailer. {{User:Brikkyy13/sig1}} 06:15, 12 August 2016 (UTC)<br /> * I think the fact that it doesn't show &quot;anything new&quot; story wise is pretty cool, it keeps the mystery. But yes, show me the movie already! :P (it might be too soon, but I think that Rogue One will be better than TFA - mainly for the fact that it won't be fan-servicy and will try to be its own thing). Yeah that TIE shot does feel like it's right out of Rebels, but I still think it's pretty epic. The TIE looks really intimidating. I don't recal a rocket launcher being used in any of the other 7 films (still getting used to saying that there's 7 :P), but maybe a Clone used one in the background of one of the battles. {{User:Brikkyy13/sig1}} 09:54, 12 August 2016 (UTC)<br /> * My view is the complete opposite to yours. We know what's going to happen in the end, so everything else should be a surprise. I agree though, it should be a character driven film with great action scenes - it looks like it won't disappoint on that front. It would be really cool if Jyn just shoots the pilot Indy style, but I'm kind of hoping she jumps onto the tie a la Anakin and Zam Wessel. Random kind of unrelated fact that you may or may not have known: when shooting Raiders of the Lost Ark in Cairo, they shot the chase sequence in chronological order over 3 days. Everybody got food poising from the catering, including Harrison Ford. The script originally called for Indy to get into a fistfight with the swordsman, but Ford had aggressive diarrhea and was not up for it. When the crowd split to reveal the swordsman, Ford improvised with his gun. Spielberg liked it so he left it in :P {{User:Brikkyy13/sig1}} 11:27, 12 August 2016 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == Re: ==<br /> Oh that leaker guy pmed me on Eurobricks after I asked him about it. :P {{User:Soupperson1/Sig}}<br /> <br /> == Funding LEGO Island's Wes Jenkins ==<br /> <br /> I came across this while browsing RRU: &lt;u&gt;rockraidersunited.com/topic/7361-please-help-wes-jenkins/&lt;/u&gt; Not sure if anyone here is a LEGO Island fan, or has cash to spare, but I thought I should share this for whatever purpose it could serve before the (incredibly-near) August 19th deadline.

(e.g &lt;code&gt;background-color: #fff;&lt;/code&gt; instead of &lt;code&gt;bgcolor=&quot;#fff&quot;&lt;/code&gt; As for ugliness, I actually happen to disagree and think that it's more readable, but oh well. :P (Fun fact, did you know that lowercasing helps performance? Not by much but here it is if you want to check it out. http://www.websiteoptimization.com/speed/tweak/lowercase/ It's pretty minor but I just prefer writing in lowercase.

That's okay ^~^ The presentation went pretty well, now that that discussion phase is done (it went from Nov 7 to Nov 20, and then the proposals were organized by the WMF Community Tech team), it's voting time! Currently so far, at: [[metawikimedia:2016 Community Wishlist Survey/Categories/Editing#Improve the History UI]] there's about 7 supports, 1 oppose, and 1 neutral. It's been improving so far and there's (hopefully!) going to be more voters voting on that proposal so that it could get more attention by the WMF staff :D So, it's actually not done yet because there's multiple phases, which I'll show you: (from the [[metawikimedia:2016 Community Wishlist Survey]] page ): <br /> #Submit, discuss and revise proposals: Nov 7-20, 2016<br /> #Community Tech reviews and organizes proposals: Nov 21–27<br /> #Vote for proposals: Nov 28–Dec 12 (current)<br /> #Results posted: Dec 15<br /> #Screening and assessment of top wishes by Community Tech team: end of December<br /> #Presentation of the initial assessment: Early January 2017<br /> #Working on wishes: January–December 2017!<br /> <br /> Hopefully it reaches one of the top wishes! That'd be pretty sweet :) (Also if you're wondering, I really just removed the stuff about it from my user page since from what I know, no one from here is eligible to vote, since it requires 200 edits across one or more Wikimedia projects, e.g MediaWiki.org, Wikimedia Commons, Wikisource, etc.) <br /> <br /> Oh and I forgot to tell ya, but I also made a watchlist proposal called [https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=2016_Community_Wishlist_Survey/Categories/Watchlists&amp;diff=16098789&amp;oldid=16098786#Watchlist_folders Watchlist folders], which got merged into [[metawikimedia:2016 Community Wishlist Survey/Categories/Watchlist#Watchlist priorities or Multiple watchlists|Watchlist priorities or Multiple watchlists]].

At one point in his life, the [[First Spinjitzu Master]] granted him powers, and he became the first Elemental Master of Fire.&lt;ref name=&quot;SDCC2015&quot;&gt;[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-UxxG8zNEc&amp;t=28m44s LEGO® Ninjago Panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2015 #LEGOSDCC - YouTube]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> As a member of the Elemental Alliance, he fought to protect the people of {{b|Ninjago|world}} during the Serpentine Wars. At one point, with the Elemental Masters of [[Maya (Ninjago)|Water]], [[Elemental Master of Light|Light]] and [[Elemental Master of Gravity|Gravity]], he attempted to defend a village from an [[Anacondrai]] attack led by [[General Arcturus]], but the masters were defeated. However, the Elemental Alliance, led by [[Wu]] and [[Garmadon]], sons of the First Spinjitzu Master, regrouped and fought against the Anacondrai army on an open battlefield. The Masters quickly gained the upper hand and had the Anacondrai on the run, until [[Chen]] intervened, and managed to turn the Elemental Masters against each other, with the [[Elemental Master of Earth]] attacking the other Masters. The Anacondrai then regrouped and won the battle. Later, when seeing a snake charmer, Garmadon realized that the Serpentine could be controlled with music. The Elemental Masters along with the sons of the First Spinjitzu Master used flutes to control the Serpentine and locked all of the Serpentine away in tombs except for the Anacondrai generals, who were banished to the Cursed Realm.<br /> <br /> Later, in fear of his own demise, Sensei Wu made a map of the locations of the Four Golden Weapons and gave it to his friend. Kai's father later died and passed his blacksmith business to his son, who also inherited his elemental fire powers, while Nya got her water powers from her mother, Maya.<br /> <br /> == Appearances ==<br /> * [[70627 Dragon's Forge]]<br /> <br /> === TV appearances ===<br /> * ''[[Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu]]''<br /> ** Pilot Episodes<br /> *** &quot;[[Way of the Ninja]]&quot; {{C|mentioned only}}<br /> ** Season 1<br /> *** &quot;[[The Royal Blacksmiths]]&quot; {{C|mentioned only}}<br /> ** Season 4<br /> *** &quot;[[Spellbound]]&quot; {{C|flashback}}<br /> ** Season 5<br /> *** &quot;[[Winds of Change]]&quot; {{C|mentioned only}}<br /> *** &quot;[[Ghost Story]]&quot; {{C|mentioned only}}<br /> *** &quot;[[Curse World, Part I]]&quot; {{C|mentioned only}}<br /> ** Season 6<br /> *** &quot;[[Misfortune Rising]]&quot;<br /> <br /> === Video games appearances ===<br /> * ''[[Spinjitzu Smash DX]]''<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{reflist}}<br /> <br /> ==Gallery==<br /> &lt;gallery&gt;<br /> ElementalMasterofFire.png<br /> KaiFather.png<br /> Kai%27sFatherYoung.jpg|Kai's father when he was around Kai's age<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> <br /> {{Ninjagofigs}}</div> 198.91.90.240 https://en.brickimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bricks&diff=1077755 Bricks 2017-02-27T11:28:45Z <p>198.91.90.240: created using createpage.js</p> <hr /> <div>#REDIRECT [[Brick]]<br /> 101010110001010001000101001010010010010101100000101000010100101010001010101010101010100101010100010101010010101010101101010100100101001010100001011101010101010</div> 198.91.90.240 https://en.brickimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:47.186.111.33&diff=1077696 User talk:47.186.111.33 2017-02-27T02:30:13Z <p>198.91.90.240: /* Feedback on Krux */</p> <hr /> <div>&lt;div style=&quot;width:98%; color: black; background: #00A1C7; border-radius: 10px; margin-left: 1%; border: 2px solid #00A1C7&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;width:100%; color: white; font-size: larger; padding-bottom: 0px&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;span style=&quot;margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 6px; display: inline; font-size: 135%; color:white; padding-bottom: 20px;&quot;&gt;Welcome!&lt;/span&gt;<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;padding-left:6px; padding-right: 6px; background: #BFDBEE; border-bottom-left-radius: 8px; border-bottom-right-radius: 8px; padding-top: 4px&quot;&gt;<br /> Welcome to '''Brickipedia''', a member of the [[m:|Brickimedia Network]].

Hope that helps, {{User:NovaHawk/sig}} 23:10, 26 February 2017 (UTC)<br /> **{{ping|NovaHawk}} I believe the issue the anon was pointing out is that the images are switched. Acronix is depicted in [[:File:70626-krux.png]] while Krux is depicted in [[:File:70626-acronix.png]]. As a result, all the Brickimedia pages pair Krux's image with Acronix's name and vice versa. [[Special:Contributions/108.181.149.186|108.181.149.186]] 01:42, 27 February 2017 (UTC)<br /> *** Are you sure about this? The [http://images.brickimedia.org/2/26/70626-box.png boxart] shows Krux as the one with the black right arm and Acronix as the one with the red right arm {{User:NovaHawk/sig}} 02:08, 27 February 2017 (UTC)<br /> **** Well, I did a bit of research, and it seems that clips on YouTube are naming Krux Dr. Saunders (so grey eyebrows) and Acronix has the orange/red eyebrows. Search for &quot;Kai vs Krux&quot; on YouTube, for example. [[Special:Contributions/198.91.90.240|198.91.90.240]] 02:30, 27 February 2017 (UTC)</div> 198.91.90.240
