A few hoops to jump through
In order for me to get the soul gem video of Bowser and Donkey Kong you need to convince my dad on his channel called Broforcegaming since he's the one with the video capture technology and I'm 19 ( And keeping some light and dark adventure pack taunting me with it). I also mention that's he's was in the navy for 15 years and don't mention about me because he might lose his temper.
Hello Aura! I'm PortalMasterone from darkSpyro! I want to know how I can edit a character box.
Instant Spitfire (and a few other pages) Missing Photos
Hi Aura24! I just noticed that Instant Spitfire page are missing photos and I'm just wondering how you can upload those photos I recently added to Skylanders Wikia or maybe you can do that? I'm pretty new here so I don't know much about page editing, but I'm trying to do the best as I can to help. Thank you!

Hi. I'd like to let you know that Tessa has appeared in Skylanders: SuperChargers. I did leave information on the Woodburrow page stating her mentioning of it's inhabitants having to evacuate to get away from the Sky Eater. --Rtkat3 (talk) 17:55, September 29, 2015 (UTC)
Um hello in van. Pleased to meet you. I have a question that I've been wondering since supercharger's ending. Will this be the last skylanders game ever? I hope not but I would like your opinion bc the darkness was defeated and kaos lost his powers so idk what's next and I wanna know

Hello again, Aura. This may sound crazy and all, but I get the information from the characters' backgrounds and, how they act.PortalMasterLight (talk) 19:58, November 23, 2015 (UTC)
Hey, Aura! Perhaps you can repost Smash Hit's concept designs in his gallery and Splat's third character trailer. PortalMasterLight (talk) 11:12, December 17, 2015 (UTC)
- I'll decide later on. -- Aura24 (talk) 11:21, December 17, 2015 (UTC)
- Are you updating the character boxes for 2016? PortalMasterLight (talk) 12:52, December 17, 2015 (UTC)
- Pardon me, Aura, but what happened to the categories, character trailer, and gallery on Hammer Slam Bowser's article? I would highly appreciate you redoing them! His trivia disappered as well! Also, Merry Christmas. PortalMasterLight (talk) 19:57, December 22, 2015 (UTC)
- Yeahhhh about that. That was your doing~ ;3
- Pardon me Aura, but I thought Count Moneybone was voiced by Nolan North instead of Travis Willingham. PortalMasterLight (talk) 13:56, December 24, 2015 (UTC)

Gill Grunt's Mermaid Girlfriend
Hello!
I just wanted to ask why you removed my changes on the article of Gill Grunt's Mermaid Girlfriend.
When you play as Deep Dive Gill Grunt, you can talk to Buzz for the quests. Gill says, that he is still searching for her and Buzz answeres that he shouldn't give up his search, so it is a fact. Or am I wrong? o:
Bowser Jr. (talk) 15:57, October 2, 2015 (UTC)
- You didn't read the trivia correctly. While it still states that Gill Grunt is still looking for his girlfriend, but one of the producers of SSA made a claim that he found her, when it isn't the case. -- Aura24 (talk) 18:44, October 2, 2015 (UTC)
Oh, yes, I see... I'm very sorry about that!
- I have another story-based question, if it is okay for you.
- Did you play SuperChargers already? There is an level about the history of the Darkness, the Core of Light, the Hydra a.s.o. In the books are pictures of the SuperChargers, right? How can the SuperChargers find the Core of Light, when they are the newest Skylanders for now? I think it is a big plothole, what about you?

Template updates
Sorry to bother you, Aura, but I had tried to talk about this in the respective Talk pages with no response. Template:Npcnav and Template:Bossnav have either mistakes or weren't updated in certain parts(specific issues on the talk pages), and being admin only I wouldn't be able to fix it myself.
- What exactly is wrong with the templates that you see. -- Aura24 (talk) 17:09, October 24, 2015 (UTC)
- With NPCnav, the SF 3DS characters(Ferryman,Margaret etc it's on the talk page) are all missing, and in Bossnav the Giants 3DS bosses are shown as the same as Superchargers instead of the pirate bosses it actually has.--HauntedLorene (talk) 18:25, October 24, 2015 (UTC)
Hi aura thanks for the message I have some questions for you . Can you Describe how Reef Ripper's , Burn cycle's and Sky Slicer's powers in game . Can you unlock the High volt page because I have relevant info THANK YOUjball149
Details of SuperCharged Vehicles
Since the pages for SuperCharger Vehicles have been put up, would it be okay to also add how exactly they become SuperCharged whenever the Skylanders and their signature vehicles are combined? For instance, Deep Dive Gill Grunt gives his Reef Ripper a golden paint job or Hurricane Jet-Vac reversed the color schemes of his Jet Stream
No I mean how the vehicles attacks look like in game not what they look like when supercharged also I've noticed that if you supercharge a Vehicle (e.g. Hot Streak) it permanently stays supercharged the only way to revert this being to reset the Vehicle is this true?jball149 23:07, November 1, 2015 (UTC)
The Darkness's Gender
Kaos specifically refers to The Darkness as a "him" at the end of the SuperChargers if I recall correctly. --BCtheBoss (talk) 23:41, November 8, 2015 (UTC)
- No, the history books on The Darkness, Master Eon and even Kaos refers to The Darkness as "it". Even in the Kaos Diary entry 8 "It has a voice" refers to The Darkness with the pronouns "it". -- Aura24 (talk) 11:19, November 14, 2015 (UTC)
Images
Hi aura it's been a while and I have got a lot of superchargers in the time past.Last week I found good Quality images of Thump truck, Shield Striker, Missile-toe Dive-Clops, Buzz wing , Tomb buggy and a Chase variant of High volt. Would it be ok to add these pics to the wiki as I am trying to not get blocked again?. Also I would also like to know how do initiate boss races? and is there a difference between Xbox 360 superchargers and Xbox one superchargers? thanks jball149 22:50, November 12, 2015 (UTC)
I got a question for all of you is Skylanders consider and epic. When you think of an epic you mostly think of Star Wars or the Odyssey right well I think Video Games can also become Epics I can think of a few Halo, The last of us, Jack and Dexter, Earthbound, and the one I use the most The Legend of Zelda series. What do all of these have in common that makes them an epic and Should Skylanders be an epic that's the question I'm giving to you to figure this out. (Kill me (talk) 13:33, November 15, 2015 (UTC))

Info on Trap Team from Boys' Life
The December 2014 issue of Boys' Life contains a section on Skylanders: Trap Team. It features sections of gameplay and backstories of characters, as well as a few tidbits. Here's what I got from it.
- Other than a Skylander, Jawbreaker is also a motivational speaker and a maker of not-so-good soda.
- Wildfire's favorite color is "fire", and he loves convincing others that it's a real color.
- Wallop and his family were well-known for throwing tantrums.
- Pain-Yatta's backstory - "Silly yet monstrous, Pain-Yatta was a piñata that came to life after being placed on a magical device for too long. He's accrued a huge dental bill from having too many cavities."
- Broccoli Guy's backstory - "Born with a giant ego, he's the only villain who wrote an autobiography. A self-described self-help star to the entire vegetable community, he likes activities that start with the letter B, such as beekeeping and bocce."
- Wolfgang enjoys stamp collecting.
Yes, this is official.

About Brimstone & Boulders
They're refered to as the Fired-Up Frontman and the Percussion Pounder, respectively, which kind of implies that there's only one of each.CDiGanon (talk) 18:25, November 29, 2015 (UTC)
Details for Vehicles When They're SuperCharged
Hey there. I was wondering if it's okay to add the specific details for each Skylander Vehicle? For instance, the Barrel Blaster can only summon Diddy Kong when Donkey Kong is paired with it. And the Clown Cruiser receives two propellers on its wings only when Bowser is paired with it.
NightShadow-720 (talk) 02:29, December 8, 2015 (UTC)
Hey Aura I've got a theory about the Darkness I've deiced to post it on the disscion board so here's goes my theory. the reason why the Ancients couldn't send the Darkness back to his own world with the Dark Rift Engine. Here's my theory They can't because the Dark Rift engine couldn't be closed so the Ancients built the Core of Light to destroy the Dark realm but plan to destroy the Dark Rift Engine so the Darkness wouldn't come through but the explosion sent the ancients far from skylands to parts unknown. So What do you think of this theory?
I'm sorry
I'm sorry Aura for posting that blog it just that I don't like being ignored and I like the reply's because I know someone is reading my thought and posting their own options like is skylanders an epic that why I created that blog so people won't ignore me. (Kill me (talk) 03:37, December 17, 2015 (UTC))
I've don't support the dragons lair movie because if you take away the controls form a cinematic or diffcult game like say Dark Souls then you take away the enjoyment of what makes them special. Also I've should've have say I disagree with your theory I've didn't know what was I thinking at the time.

Battlecast Template
Since we don't have a release date for Battlecast but pictures surfacing and the 2016 hint(and unlike big games an app could release on January), would it be a right time to start having spaces in the pages for Battlecast card effects or we'll wait for launch? Stealth Elf, Spitfire and Spyro are already known and could be used as reference; and at first I thought about suggesting using the Upgrade template but the pictures might be too big, something with a huge image space and text right next to it would fit pages batter.--HauntedLorene (talk) 14:05, December 31, 2015 (UTC)
Donkey Kong and Bowser Supercharged quest and challanges
Hey Aura I was thinking that if you wrote down the Superchargers quest and/or challenge could I do one for Bowser and Donkey Kong? Since I've got both of them and complted quest of Donkey Kong so could I do it? (Kill me (talk) 14:53, January 2, 2016 (UTC))
Hey,I am sorry I put random pics on Splat's page. You see, they already had those random pics in with the pics I selected and I did not realize they would put those pics with the ones I had.

Why not because I'm just giving you an homage for the game idea I'm making since we have something in common which is the art and buety of games like Ori and the blind forest or Undertale.
In the vehicle navigation bar, could you include the Clunker and the Blunder Bucket and have that category as "Pandergast's Vehicles" or "SuperChargers Racing Exclusive Vehicles"? Black Rhino Ranger (Or BRR for short) (talk) 19:58, January 23, 2016 (UTC)

Past/Present tense
Hey, I'm new here. I've already edited a few pages (albeit just grammar errors), and I read the Manual of Style and whatever the other thing I got from you was. One of them said that, for character pages that is, their description at the top needs to be written in present tense. In most cases, that I've seen at least, past tense would make more sense.
I will follow the guidelines, but I just wanted to point that out.
Bubbaets9101 (talk) 04:53, March 29, 2016 (UTC)
- Looks like I have to make changes to the outdated Style page. -- Aura24 (talk) 07:23, March 29, 2016 (UTC)
- I looked at the new version, Aura; shouldn't it also be in past tense for the characters, not just the skylanders?
- Sorry for being for nit-picky, it just bothers me. -- Bubbaets9101 (talk) 03:13, March 30, 2016 (UTC)
Duplicate Figures Reply
Hm. I see what you are saying, however it hardly does what I have been putting together. Something I have been very disappointed to fail to find on this wiki is a simple listing of all the Figures+Variations. Not even any given Skylander Page is complete, and to have to check each page filled with non-game-play info to try to find this info is very frustrating. Additionally, the Figures page fails to list all Variants (such as Eon's Elite), or be properly fully-detailed in what those variants even mean in-game (such as how much of a stat-change is involved). The page I have been working on will actually have all that information; basically, it's the collector's useful checklist (seriously, I had to go through numerous sites to find both the complete collection of every possible figure as well as understand what the heck all the different Variants even mean in-game! This site is sadly over a year out of date for useful info.), which I would have believed would be desireable for a community like this one. If this is truly organized information that is not desired, then just send me another message so I know, and I will abandon this attempt. Sorry if this sounds rude, I'm truly trying to contribute a useful addition to the community, while helping make the organization of data less disorganized. Jarie スイクン 23:28, March 29, 2016 (UTC)
Shutting down comments
Hi Aura, such a big fan of your youtube channel and your different videos. Anyway yesterday I noticed you closed off the comments on my blog. I must admit I'm hopping mad and the reason you gave is not good enough, users on the site are allowed freedom of space with their blogs as long as they stick within the rules of the wiki, of which I believe I wasn't breaching any.I know you're an admin but that still shouldn't give you the right to edit on someone else's blog without permission and without valid reason. MrQuest17 (talk) 12:40, April 8, 2016 (UTC)MrQuest17
- I gave a valid reason. You are posting content in different blogs that come from the same source. Please stick to one blog regarding Eric Rogers' tweets on Skylanders Academy to avoid making too many topics. You can still edit your blogs, I only disabled commenting on one of them since you already made a blog post that came from the same exact source. I'm not being mean here, just telling you that you have to keep all the same source material in ONE blog post to avoid clutter. -- Aura24 (talk) 15:34, April 8, 2016 (UTC)
Battlecast template?
Now that Battlecast was officially released in Australia and NZ and about to come out in the UK, is it possible for us to get some template for the cards in their appropriate pages(elements, skylanders,villains,actually I should create an article for Non-Elemental eventually) already? It doesn't need to be anything fancy, I was thinking of something like the Heroic Challenges list, but showing card image, card title, text and its ingame effect(since some show something entirely different to the art), with appropriate spacing of course. I don't know how to code in Wikia,so sorry if this sounds really amateurish.
Lamoracke in DarkSpyro has a few dropbox folders with all the Battlecast cards with mostly good quality including for villains(which are unavaliable for decks), so if needed asking permission to him is a way to get half the work done already.HauntedLorene (talk) 13:51, April 16, 2016 (UTC)
- We are still pondering how a template for Battlecast can work out, similar to the Wow Pow template or a entirely new one. -- Aura24 (talk) 20:42, April 17, 2016 (UTC)

Long Jump Glitch in Skylanders: Trap Team?
So, recently I found this glitch involving certain villains in Skylanders: Trap Team. These two villains seem to have a "long jump" glitch that when used properly can find secret areas, shortcuts or even break the game as a whole. This glitch might even be used to find other glitches! I found many uses for this glitch and like to share them with someone who might be able to perform these glitches like I did. A perfect example of one of the glitches being put to use is being able to completely skip the Bruiser Cruiser villain fight in Chompy Mountain. The glitch varies on which villain you are using for this.
If using Dr. Krankcase: Some Skylanders and Villains do NOT have the ability to preform certain attacks while jumping. This is false, for there is a small window of time where the player can exicute an attack while jumping, which can lead to some strange bugs on its own. Dr. Krankcase is one of the most broken. Jump and press the first attack button at ALMOST the same time (this is hard on some consoles, easier on others). Now do this on the right side of the arena. If done successfully, you can get to the river-like area near it and skip the Chompy Coil. Don't worry about that, you can safely continue through the level without that coil anyway.
If using Rage Mage: Like said above, Rage Mage is also broken. Jump and attack at the same time (this is noticably easier than Dr. Krankcase. Infact, depending where you use the glitch, sometimes you don't even have to jump at all). Do the same thing said above and BOOM! So long, Bruiser Cruiser!
I really think you should at least try this out and see if this works. Unfortunatly, I can't record this material to show proof of the glitch being possible. But give it a try! :)

Block all Doom Raiders pages
Is it okay if you block all Doom Raiders pages until all the info about Skylanders Imaginators has been revealed. People have been saying that all Doom Raiders are appearing as senseis of that game without any source of evidence (only evidence I've seen so far are the Golden Queen, Wolfgang and Pain-Yatta) and I worry this could lead to high editing traffic.

- Hey Aura, I was wondering if you could add the categories related to Skylanders: Imaginators to the Doom Raiders pages, as well as the Skylanders: Lost Islands Characters categories if it's missing (this includes Pain-Yatta), information on the pages regarding Skylanders: Imaginators, as well as adding the Reformed Characters category to the pages expect for the Chompy Mage and Pain-Yatta. Please take this into consideration. PortalMasterLight (talk) 02:52, June 3, 2016 (UTC)

A missed opportunity?
I notice no one from E3 ever mention Imagintors for the 3DS. Why aren't they making it for the 3DS? I think it was a miss opportunity since you can use the touch screen to make your own imagintors I don't know who will be the villain or what the story will be about (but I think there will be a new villain). Because think of the possibility you can do with the 3DS do you think imgatoirs for the 3DS was a missed opportunity Aura? (Kill me (talk) 11:44, June 15, 2016 (UTC)) I need to change my link.
Wrong Sensei class
You enlisted Tri-Tip is a Brawler class sensei. That's not true. If you look at the pedestal of his figure, the symbol is a picture of an axe. The axe means he's a Smasher (you might wanna re-look at your E3 videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfU3qC2NR38 ). If it's a Brawler, it has a fist symbol like King Pen. Black Rhino Ranger (Or BRR for short) (talk) 23:06, June 16, 2016 (UTC)
Academy bit
Maybe you could add this to Spyro's Skylanders Academy page, "Spyro's voice actor in this continuity of the series, Justin Long, also voices Alvin from the Alvin and the Chipmunks film series. PortalMasterLight (talk) 18:27, July 7, 2016 (UTC)

A Small Suggestion
Hi. Since Hood Sickle has recently been revealed to be a Sensei in Imaginators, I would like to make a suggestion. For every non-Doom Raider villain Sensei, I would like to suggest renaming their pages to "Villain Name (villain)" to "Villain Name (character)", since the term villain no longer describes them as they are Skylanders now.

You forgot something for Chopscotch which is here species is Ghoul it said so in her bio. (Kill me (talk) 19:41, July 23, 2016 (UTC))
Abilitiesbox Tabs
I've updated the Abilitiesbox template with some display logic, so that the Battlecast tab only shows up on the 23 characters with cards, the Wow Pow tab only shows up on Series+ cores (Series 2 only show 1 wow pow, Series 3 only show 2 wow pows, only Gill Grunt shows all 3 wow pows), and the SuperChargers don't have 3DS tabs.
The seven S3 Battlecast characters (5 of which are protected) did not need updating, everyone else (except Senseis, due to protection) have been. But since Swap Force use a different template, which is protected, I'd like to know if you could update it with this simple change:
/Add this:/ {{#ifeq: {{{battlecast|}}} | true |
/Above this:/ {{!}}-{{!}}Battlecast=
/And below/ '''{{{rarity6desc|rarity6desc}}}'''<br>
/this part,/ {{{card6desc|card6desc}}}
/add this:/ {{!}}} | }}
I've already added the battlecast=true tag to Wash Buckler (the only Battlecast Swapper), so when you make the change, he will keep the tab, while all the other Swap Force will lose it (it also won't appear on the template page, but you can confirm that it works by going to Wash Buckler's page).

- Not sure if you missed it, forgot, or just haven't gotten around to it yet, but since the Swap Force Template is protected, I can't add the simple tag check, so I need a mod to do it in order for the 15 non-Battlecast Swappers to not display a pointless tab anymore. Code detailing above. Princess Nightmoon (talk) 20:24, July 24, 2016 (UTC)
3DS Powers (SWAP Power tags missing...)
I'm in the process of collecting all missing 3DS power descriptions. I have all missing primaries, secondaries and level requirements, just need to finish upgrading everyone to get the rest, at which point I'll binge-update. As you may have noticed, I've also added previews of the Trap Powers for all Trap Masters (with the help of the Abilitiesbox template, checking for =true, so that no other pages are affected, thus do not require edits), since they don't have a power description, but is still part of their move set.
Important: However, what I can't do is add SWAP powers and descriptions (Bottom Half move, activated with [L] button), since you removed those tags when you edited the Swap Force Abilitiesbox template... (Which, BTW, did not need an adaptive 3DS tab, since all Swappers have 3DS movesets.) Would be nice if you could add those back.
(I kind of wish you'd made it accessible to registered users, like the normal Abilitiesbox. I get why you'd be hesitant to open up something like that. Yet at the same time, the normal one is open and still standing, so there doesn't appear to be much risk to it. Especially since Swap-Force is getting more and more irrelevant.)

Battlecast Update
Aura, is it possible to add a new row to the Battlecast cards? The new Battlecast update introduced at least one new card to several characters, possibly everyone. I'd give it a try myself, but I'm so confused by the wiki code I don't want to break any of the other admins' hard work :C HauntedLorene (talk) 18:32, August 3, 2016 (UTC)
Vandalism
There is a user who is vandalising the wiki (http://skylanders.wikia.com/wiki/User:%D0%A3%D1%84%D0%BA%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B2%D1%89%D1%81) CrimsonChaos99 (talk) 20:12, August 4, 2016 (UTC)
- Not Aura, but gotcha covered. Give me a second to rollback the pages. HauntedLorene (talk) 20:18, August 4, 2016 (UTC)
Template Cleanup
Just wanted to report that I got rid of a LOT of junk templates. Both ones used by a single user on a single page, and unused/outdated/redundant/pointless ones. So I guess that was a productive first day as a content mod.
Also merged all Imaginator____box parts into a single Abilitiesbox variant and updated the few pages utilizing them, before deleting the old now-redundant templates. Princess Nightmoon (talk) 19:46, August 8, 2016 (UTC)
Wordmark
I made an Imaginators-themed wordmark for the wiki, if you want to use it during the run of Imaginators. Princess Nightmoon (talk) 14:53, August 9, 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks. Also, regarding the edits, you don't have to keep spamming the same message over and over as your edit summary. ^^; -- Aura24 (talk) 16:18, August 9, 2016 (UTC)
- Sorry about that, just a habit, I guess >.<
The Dread-Yacht one in particular was mainly because I was annoyed with a double redirect being used on so many pages. - Princess Nightmoon (talk) 17:12, August 9, 2016 (UTC)

villian pages
why do u have to rename all of the trap team villian pages to the cherecter pages??? Stitchadder911 (talk) 20:28, August 10, 2016 (UTC)
- I didn't rename all of them? -- Aura24 (talk) 20:44, August 10, 2016 (UTC)
- then who did??? Stitchadder911 (talk) 00:59, August 11, 2016 (UTC)
Why are Broccoli Guy and Chill Bill characters then?Wilfur The Wicked (talk) 15:54, August 11, 2016 (UTC)
- Chill Bill is labeled (character) because he returns in Imaginators as the host of Troll Radio. Broccoli Guy's page is still labeled (villain) for now, but he may be moved due to possibly being a co-host or guest on the radio station. Princess Nightmoon (talk) 16:09, August 11, 2016 (UTC)
- There's going to be guests?Wilfur The Wicked (talk) 17:27, August 11, 2016 (UTC)
- I only know that apparently Broccoli Guy is heard on the Troll Radio at some point in Imaginators. Whether it's just a brief guest appearance or he's a full-fledged co-host, I'm not sure. He may be the only one, but it would be cool if Troll Radio featured some guest clips of other villains telling what they've been doing since the events of Trap Team.

User Right: Bot
Sorry about the minor discussion above, but my last 2 posts here were of a different nature. (Moved below, which in hindsight is what I should have done in the first place. Not sure why I didn't.) - Princess Nightmoon (talk) 17:54, August 12, 2016 (UTC)
I realized this a bit late, but I should request the bot user right while cleaning up the remaining redirects (well, the ones I have permission to edit, there are some redirecting blogs left too, which as mentioned previously, I can't edit at my current user rights level), since they are used by many pages. To prevent flooding the recent changes (which unfortunately has already happened... but it would prevent further flooding). I will of course turn it back off once I'm done. Princess Nightmoon (talk) 10:24, August 12, 2016 (UTC)
- Will also be useful for sorting out some of the disorganized branches of the category tree without flooding recent changes. There's a bit of background mess on this wiki... At least I've sorted out the majority of pointless redirects. (Currently below 250. When I started, it was over 1000.) - Princess Nightmoon (talk) 13:08, August 12, 2016 (UTC)
- According to the main user rights, an account has be made for the bot. http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Help:User_rights#Bots -- Aura24 (talk) 22:04, August 12, 2016 (UTC)
- Alright, looks like I got my wikis mixed up a bit. MediaWiki's manual on bots mentions "The 'bot' permission may also be temporarily granted to human editors flooding Recent Changes". It also mentioned a related "Flooder" user group, which also doesn't seem to be in Wikia. Oh well, sorry for bothering you, then. - Princess Nightmoon (talk) 04:25, August 13, 2016 (UTC)
Categorization
While Wikia doesn't appear to have a standardized categorization policy, it would be beneficial to take a page out of Wikipedia's policy: "each categorized page should be placed in all of the most specific categories to which it logically belongs. This means that if a page belongs to a subcategory of C (or a subcategory of a subcategory of C, and so on) then it is not normally placed directly into C. For exceptions to this rule, see Eponymous categories and Non-diffusing subcategories below."
(Though, like it says, exceptions should be made for non-diffusing categories. The examples of which including sub-categories of race, gender, religion and similar, so this would apply to all Skylanders keeping the Skylanders category, even if they also have more specific sub-categories of Skylanders, mainly Element, gender, special team and so on.)
For instance, pages in Category:Skylanders: SuperChargers Characters should not also be in Category: Skylanders: SuperChargers, due to one already being a sub-category of the other, and the Skylanders page should not be categorized in the categories for each game, because not all Skylanders are playable in every game (this should rather be handled by sub-categorizing specific Skylander types under the games they are playable in).
There are also examples of conflicting categories, such as Category:Insect Skylanders being a sub-category of both a branch leading from Category:Playable Characters and a branch leading from Category:Non-Playable Characters.
Excessive categorization is extremely prevalent on this wiki, so since it appears to be the norm, I'd just like to confirm that it's okay for me to begin trimming and reorganizing this tangled mess, before starting on this massive task. I'd hate to start on it, only for it to be undone later. So far, I've only untangled a few problem categories causing infinite loops, and haven't started on actual articles yet. - Princess Nightmoon (talk) 03:58, August 15, 2016 (UTC)
- I'll take lack of response as a no. - Princess Nightmoon (talk) 11:36, August 16, 2016 (UTC)
- In regards to related pages: "At the bottom of each page, there is a set of 'Related Pages' images to help guide visitors from one page to another; these are chosen based on category tags on each page. The more specific the category tags are, the better these suggestions will be" -Wikia. And considering the main wikia (community.wikia) is properly categorized in the way I've mentioned, the messy way it's done here is not "kinda how it works on wikia". Sure, each wiki has its own conventions, but messy categories and excessive categorization is definitely not a convention that should be kept IMO.
- I might provide a proposition for a more organized category tree and a comparison to the current one. I'll let you make the call whether we should keep the current mess or not. (Looks like there are issues on the Spyro wiki as well. For instance, "Female Characters" is both a subcategory and super-category of "Male Characters" (and thus, vice versa). They are also subcategories and super-categories of "Characters". I don't even...) - Princess Nightmoon (talk) 17:47, August 16, 2016 (UTC)
- If there is a more organized method for the categories, show me the difference please. -- Aura24 (talk) 17:57, August 16, 2016 (UTC)
- I will, though it'll take some time to compile. However, the main issue is the excessive amount of redundant categories in articles. For instance, Kaos has ~20 redundant categories. Such as Category:Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure and Category:Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure Characters, since both are super-categories of Category:Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure Bosses. - Princess Nightmoon (talk) 18:54, August 16, 2016 (UTC)
- If there is a more organized method for the categories, show me the difference please. -- Aura24 (talk) 17:57, August 16, 2016 (UTC)
(Getting long, so resetting the margin)
Yes! It's a bit too much to explain in short, due to how categories work when you get advanced with them (though going advanced ironically makes it simpler once it's all done), but that is the end goal of fixing up the category tree. Unfortunately, there's no simple way of changing categories across articles, so that'll be a major project once the tree is all sorted out. I'll be combing through pages as thoroughly as I can, though. - Princess Nightmoon (talk) 20:23, August 16, 2016 (UTC)
