Knight Mare Glitch

That glitch does work (at least in the Wii version), I have literally tested it on every glitch gate in the game and it works.

  • Then add a source or specify. The way it is written is incredibly misleading, on X360 she bounces off even in the Dark gates until they're fully open, so who knows other consoles. No one recorded videos with her doing it on Youtube either, which would be helpful for people trying to test it out. (also there were a few other edits you undid on Knight Mare that were related to other things but it's nothing major, just watch out if you use undo)

Helloooooooo? It's a Dark Gate, of course she'll bounce back! In the Midnight Museum level, bring her to the Magic Gate and perform her secondary attack. You'll see I'm not lying. Also, not every glitch on this wiki has a source to back it up y'know.

  • I meant even them. The gates said to be glitched in DS are the Dark gate in Know-it-All Island, doesn't work; Magic gate in Chompy Mountain, doesn't work; Light gate in Future of Skylands; doesn't work. I don't have Midnight Museum to test that one and I didn't have time to test the Magic gate in Nightmare Express, but again, it doesn't work on one console - it's better than to put a source or explain it nicely where it worked than to mislead someone into using her where it doesn't.

Like I said, it could just be for the Wii version. Still, if you don't wanna believe me then that's your problem.

  • If it is just the Wii version,edit as such. I didn't say I don't believe you, I said writing 'it works with Knight Mare' is misleading as hell. I was planning on getting her anyway but if someone bought her just for the glitches on a different it'd be one messy talk page to login to. Not too hard to add another paragraph(not trivia since it's still the glitch itself) and say it works on X gate on Y level with Z method on K console.
  • So it's better to at least disclose it wasn't tested fully by the fans. It's not a big deal if people are discussing it on a forum or whatever, but a wiki has no point if it's not accurate. And yeah, it's silly to buy skylanders just for the exploit, but people actually do it and are actually willing to complain if they don't get what they want - better to at least avoid an argument.Since no one did anything, I'll go and edit the articles myself to reflect this, now I have the time.
Dunno what versions the glitch works with Knight Mare. I don't have the time for it either as I just opened them legit. It shouldn't be this big of a deal as it's an exploit. If you don't plan on getting the Skylanders it's kinda a moot point on getting the Soul Gems if it's someone that is going for 100% anyways.WickedRogue (talk) 02:05, July 22, 2015 (UTC)

Power Blue Figures

Have you seen this video on YouTube? - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOi-u_WDShk%7C

It's been confirmed that the following Power Blue figures are real:

Power Blue Double Dare Trigger Happy
Power Blue Gold Rusher
Power Blue Splat
Power Blue Splatter Splasher

--NightShadow-720 (talk) 16:27, February 12, 2016 (UTC)

  • Why should this concern me? I'm not an admin to edit in those pages, I visit DarkSpyro forums and those figures were found yesterday by someone there already.HauntedLorene (talk) 18:25, February 12, 2016 (UTC)

I already put it up on my blog http://skylanders.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Cutiesaurs/Skylanders_support_for_autism.(Kill me (talk) 18:28, February 12, 2016 (UTC))

  • I'll say it again, this doesn't have any reason to concern me. I already saw this on DarkSpyro, spamming it on talk pages isn't going to make me read things again.

Spyro/Ninjini Relationship non-canon proof link

Can you please give me the link to the writer of the books who confirmed that none of the books he wrote (including the one with Spyro and Ninjini's Relationship) are considered canon? Black Rhino Ranger (Or BRR for short) (talk) 17:55, February 29, 2016 (UTC)

Battlecast template

I added the Battlecast template to the Abilitiesbox. -- Aura24 (talk) 18:16, April 19, 2016 (UTC)

  • Thanks! Don't mind me using the wrong card pictures while I'm seeing how it works, was checking if the pictures would stretch or something because they're pretty big. Did you ask for permission to Lamoracke from DarkSpyro for the cards he has saved already? HauntedLorene (talk) 21:48, April 19, 2016 (UTC)
He doesn't exactly own the card images or anything. This is a community effort to add details and images of the cards into the articles. -- Aura24 (talk) 21:52, April 19, 2016 (UTC)
Well, he did go all the way to get these no matter how hard to roll(like the Villain cards) before the full launch, but you have a point. I'll just tell him we're using it and thank him for the effort, he deserves at least that. Also, how to remove the Battlecast tab for Skylanders not in that game, or add just that tab to Villains? HauntedLorene (talk) 21:55, April 19, 2016 (UTC)
Hm, I have no clue how. But you can leave the tabs be until I add replacement text. Also be sure to shrink the images down to about 206px. -- Aura24 (talk) 21:59, April 19, 2016 (UTC)
If all else fails, for villains and the elements I could always use the gallery. Dunno about pictures so small though,the original size is around 600x900px - 250x350 still keeps a visible picture, it's hard to distingish any smaller than that. Updated Ampli-flier on Spyro's page as an example.
Found a mistake in it,too. The sixth and third cards have the same name so they display the same picture. The size I set the pictures to,however,keeps them in rows of 3 really nicely.HauntedLorene (talk) 17:03, April 21, 2016 (UTC)
Fixed. -- 18:01, April 21, 2016 (UTC)

Welcome to Admin

I've bestowed upon you admin rights after seeing how worthy you are to be one. These rights include the ability to edit blocked pages, protect pages from editing, blocking rulebreakers and much more. ;) We hope you will use your new privileges in good use. -- Aura24 (talk) 20:54, June 18, 2016 (UTC)

  • Thank you so much, Aura, I'm honored! I'll do my best! HauntedLorene (talk) 22:43, June 18, 2016 (UTC)

Enemies

Excuse me, Haunted Lorene, but what footage did you see of the Splatterpillars? Please let me know. PortalMasterLight (talk) 14:34, June 24, 2016 (UTC)

  • I probably missed it if any footage actually had the full cutscene saying their names, but I put two and two together when "Splatterpillar" was mentioned in a few articles about the mushroom level and it showed up here though it gets dispatched easily. It also appears for a few seconds in some of the Ember gameplay from a few channels but it's far in between. It's also why I didn't take a screenshot yet, since this video isn't direct feed and the others the enemy is too hard to see.HauntedLorene (talk) 16:39, June 24, 2016 (UTC)

Templates

Over at DS, you mentioned a need for templates here. If you have any specifc ones in mind, let me know, and I'll see what I can do. The need for new templates for Imaginator powers was pretty obvious, since they don't fit with the existing character template. I guess one for Vehicle upgrades/mods may be wanted?

I might make separate versions of the different sections of Abilitiesbox (Console/Wow-Pow/Battlecast/3DS, and also make a new one specifically for the SuperChargers' level-based stat boosts in SC: Racing), so that redundant tabs can be excluded. For instance, Thrillipede currenty only has useful info in a single tab.

Obviously, this won't override the existing template, so in order to make the changes, someone would have to go out and edit the pages. I can do this myself for all unlocked pages, and let you know which locked pages may benefit from the revised system. And in the process of updating, I'll see which missing power images I can contribute with.

Princess Nightmoon (talk) 16:14, July 21, 2016 (UTC)

P.S.: Sorry, didn't know you had started posting the Battle Class template already. I just separated Secret Techniques from the rest, thinking it wouldn't have been utilized yet, which probably removed parts of what you posted (and resulted in some junk code for the Secret Techniques variables). Again, sorry o.o;

Princess Nightmoon (talk) 17:07, July 21, 2016 (UTC)

  • The only template that's really necessary right now is a generic Battlecast one for element and villain spells since the Skylander one can't be separated, everything else probably can be created on the spot by anyone who knows the code. You're better off speaking with Aura about this, because I don't know one bit D: And about the Secret Tecniques, yeah, had them on Battle Classes already, and I did post on your blog that I was going to. Please be a bit more careful next time since there are times with no admin on to fix these.HauntedLorene (talk) 18:22, July1 21, 2016 (UTC)
​​(Heh, I may be a little bit too used to having admin powers myself...) I had mentioned on the template pages that they aren't quite finished, but since they're in use now, I won't make any more drastic changes like that.
At the time I made the template, I didn't know there was a different page for Secret Techniques, so when you mentioned that, I wanted to make it possible to get those separately. Since, like the original abilitiesbox template, the coding used doesn't allow for splitting up, due to the formatting.
​But yeah, I'll talk to Aura about it next time I'm on. Princess Nightmoon (talk) 19:53, July 21, 2016 (UTC)

Starcast

How do we know that Starcast has multiple arms, not being critical, I'm just wondering.Wilfur The Wicked (talk) 23:46, July 30, 2016 (UTC)

  • Dark52 on DarkSpyro just posted clearer scans of the leak. We don't know if he has 3,4 or even more arms, but you clearly see 3 and what looks like a fourth under one of them now. HauntedLorene (talk) 00:20, July 31, 2016 (UTC)

Kaos Sensei

They confirmed kaos as a sensei.Wilfur The Wicked (talk) 21:43, August 6, 2016 (UTC)

  • But not Battle Class or anything else, just like the new Senseis it's not going to make a difference adding that now because there's no info other than he's there. Also, please add new Headings when you make a new message here, it's easier to find it :3 HauntedLorene (talk) 00:53, August 7, 2016 (UTC)

Secret Techniques

Since we now know that each Battle Class only receives 1 Technique from Senseis, 1 from the Class' Doomlander, and the rest from leveling, is there even a point to keeping the page, considering they're already covered in greater detail over at the Battle Classes page?

  • I think there's no point, but it's better to change it to a redirect than just delete the page. Noticed some people are really confused over what they do so pointing them in the right direction is the better thing to do.HauntedLorene (talk) 19:12, August 17, 2016 (UTC)

SuperChargers Secret Achievements/Trophies

Wasn't sure what to do about the Secret Achievements/Trophies in SuperChargers, so I didn't add the SuperChargers list to the page yet. Should we just include everything anyway, or should I set up a show/hide toggle for them? - Princess Nightmoon (talk) 17:29, August 21, 2016 (UTC)

  • It's long past the spoiler period so I don't think it matters for SuperChargers, so just having them all visible is fine, but once the Imaginators list comes out we'll need to have a toggle for them for sure. Same reason why Cradle of Creation and The Lair of Kaos (Imaginators) are not on the Levelnav yet; too big of a spoiler for pre-release and people will run into that in other pages. HauntedLorene (talk) 17:42, August 21, 2016 (UTC)

Block Halloween Chopscotch

Hi. Can you kindly block the "Halloween Chopscotch" page until futher notice. I mean thanks to a leak from this website [1], there is a confirmation that Chopscotch is having a variant but we do not know the variant's real name and I worry that the high traffic will cause an inaccuracy on its name due to how impatient the editors are. Black Rhino Ranger (Or BRR for short) (talk) 19:58, August 31, 2016 (UTC)

  • Yeah, I was hoping a name would show up soon so I could protect the right page, but I think younger users will get to it before we even discover that.HauntedLorene (talk) 20:32, August 31, 2016 (UTC)

Talking about Sky Chi and the Darkness

Hey I found some videos that shows off Tawn Kown crow and Barbella Sky Chi should we put the detail in? Also do you think the Darkness will return in future Skylanders game? (Kill me (talk) 15:21, September 15, 2016 (UTC))

  • Only part of them is shown, I'll hold off on that until we see the whole Sky-Chi. The Darkness was sealed away, I don't really know. HauntedLorene (talk) 15:46, September 15, 2016 (UTC)

How did you find Mysticat's catchphrase?Wilfur The Wicked (talk) 02:39, September 16, 2016 (UTC) From the Package (Kill me (talk) 02:41, September 16, 2016 (UTC))

Recent toy packaging: https://raru.co.za/cover/2016/09/12/5048282-l.jpg?v=1473689008 -- Aura24 (talk) 04:54, September 16, 2016 (UTC)

Names

Umm..... where did the names come from like Ro-Bow? Black Rhino Ranger (Or BRR for short) (talk) 05:14, September 16, 2016 (UTC)

  • The list was also found by two separate users, so 100% legit. We can also guess who is who by process of elimination - though with so little info on most of them I think only Ro-Bow and Tidepool would be worth creating for now. HauntedLorene (talk) 11:49, September 16, 2016 (UTC)
Toys'R'Us The numbers on the left are their web numbers. Out of the entire list, only the starter packs (and Cozmo, out of the 3 non-Skylanders items) are currently on the website, though. Chain Reaction, Buckshot and Tidepool were also found on a separate web store Princess Nightmoon (talk) 05:36, September 16, 2016 (UTC)

Question About Editing: Source vs. Visual

G'day Haunted Lorene! Clok-Roo reporting.

I got the point you were trying to make about editing pages, but you may have to explain it to me in more detail.

Thing is, I'm accustomed to editing in Visual mode. Is there really any big difference?

The Primordial Clok-Roo (talk) 13:45, September 21, 2016 (UTC)

  • Source mode is essential for further edits of some parts of the pages(tabbers, templates, special code), and Visual tends to screw up a lot of those if you edit directly into it; most commonly putting it all together and just being confusing to read. Visual is best to quickly edit text and create headings or galleries, which appear as normal in source. Not an expert on this unfortunately, but it's most obvious when trying to copy text from elsewhere; visual just screws it all up with weird font coding but source actually keeps it in place. Nightmoon or Aura might be able to explain this better. HauntedLorene (talk) 13:54, September 21, 2016 (UTC)

Imaginator Possibilities Trivia

G'day HauntedLorene! Clok-Roo again!

I've got some trivia I want to add to the Imaginators page, but because:

  1. I'm not allowed to edit the page.
  2. I can't seem to reach the 'Talk' section.

I thought I might tell you directly and you could add it for me.


The trivia I have is this:

  • There are more possibilities for Imaginators than there are known stars in the universe.

And here is the link that proves it. Go to the time at 2:20. (Best if you watch the whole thing, though)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qk42iQtkl8A

The Primordial Clok-Roo (talk) 06:52, September 22, 2016 (UTC)

  • That one from the Cartoon Network ad is veeery buzzword-y,and while true, doesn't really amount to much. If someone actually did really approximate math by multiplying every part amount and every size, then it'd be interesting trivia. HauntedLorene (talk) 08:41, September 22, 2016 (UTC)

Umm... no offense, but did you actually watch the video? It's got absolutely nothing to do with Cartoon Network. The guy is an Australian that was invited to Skylander HQ to test play the Crash Bandicoot figure when it was announced (how it went unnoticed by us for so long is pretty surprising). And we hear the fact from an actual person that works there.

BUT if you feel as though it isn't trivia worthy... OK then. I'm not going to push you. Just thought I might clear up a misinterpretation.

The Primordial Clok-Roo (talk) 13:13, September 22, 2016 (UTC)

  • My mistake, sorry. Something happened and I thought you sent me the video about the Creator App that showed up on Vimeo yesterday, and they say something similar there. Still, my point about the trivia stands - better than some comparisons to the universe, seeing someone do the math once the game is out, which is in just three weeks anyway, is much better.HauntedLorene (talk) 19:24, September 22, 2016 (UTC)

Sensei Shrine Cutscenes

Can you give me a leak to the Sensei Shrines please?Wilfur The Wicked (talk) 02:25, October 1, 2016 (UTC)

Mini Giants

What do you mean "trivia needs to be about just that character"? Seriously, it's like any other trivia that includes other Skylanders, and it's a subgroup of Minis, not a trait of all Minis (there is NO distinction made in-game or on this site between Mini Giants and Mini Non-Giants, anywhere.)! So, make this kind of information obvious (or heck, visible at all) to all us players that aren't like you die-hard know-it-alls who hate having information where everyone can find it. And simply putting it on the Mini page as a teeny sidenote doesn't help (which, heck, it's not, so you basically just removed the only mention of it on this entire site, I've looked on the only page that it is otherwise relevent, and nope, no mention) it's an entirely unlisted ability of those, and as such can be rather giant news for the majority of players who like the Minis. (Also, slightly sorry about the sarcasm/emphasis, I'm rather sick of how this wiki seems to be actively made to be less useful for gamers when it is the complete and fully-clear resource of all information for the game... or SHOULD be. Maybe I'm just spoiled by the hard work that goes into making Smash Wiki and Bulbapedia the gaming monster support that they are, but that's the standard I expect from a gaming wiki.) Jarie スイクン 14:05, October 10, 2016 (UTC)

  • "The Minis take after their bigger counterparts, in both personality and abilities."
Right there on the minis page. Would you consider being able to break Bomb Walls an ability? I certainly would. Surprisingly, we're not keeping information up under lock and key around here. Just because you didn't understand the extent of a statement doesn't mean we're trying to keep it a secret.
Spoiled is certainly an accurate description of your behavior; nearly every edit you've made to this wiki has been full of rudeness and disrespect. Sorry we don't hold up to the standards of Bulbapedia, but a wiki with thousands of users is obviously going have some things that a wiki with less than one hundred doesn't.
TechSkylander1518 (talk) 15:21, October 10, 2016 (UTC)
    • Actually, if we followed Bulbapedia's standards, we wouldn't have half of these trivia sections.Let's get the Butterfree trivia as an example - one trivia for the anime alternate color, one for their importance in the anime, one for sharing a category with Beautifly, and comparison to Beedrill. There's no trivia about how it looks like Venonat, no trivia about how it's the first Bug/Flying with psychic moves, or how it's the first of the several butterfly pokémon(list with every single one optional). They go for brevity there, no matter how much "important info" is "withheld". Because it's trivia, fun facts, and not really important for everyone. We don't really put such a limit since it's fun, but some trivia sections are growing pretty huge as a result. HauntedLorene (talk) 16:32, October 11, 2016 (UTC)
  • That's a lot of hostile words.
  1. If it's a significant number of Minis(four is good), it goes on Minis page.
  2. If it's a single mini, it goes on that mini's page.
  3. If one mini is missing that info, it goes on that mini's page and the regular mini page.
  • I'm not every editor on this site but I've seen enough cluttered trivia about EVERY single ninja on EVERY single ninja's page, and that's pointless, just like every 3 sub trivias about how it's ironic that everyone has two eyes(this is an exaggeration). I'd love to allow more stuff to be added, but when everything is a gateway for dozens of users to just shove whatever sentence they feel like because they're young kids and there's an actual lack of dedicated fans on the fandom, I have to be a little harsh. A little, I mean a lot, because some people also insist on those edits like we're in the wrong side for wanting a clean paragraph. I'm not spoiled, I'm bothered by having to clean up after everyone. Maybe when there's enough users who can write proper articles I can be lenient, but 10 or 15 isn't that number. HauntedLorene (talk) 21:28, October 10, 2016 (UTC)

Chompy Mage

01:43, October 21, 2016 (UTC) I think you should mention on the Chompy Mage page about how he can create a force field on the first battle, and how he can teleport

  • I think I should mention I haven't touched the wiki in over a week except for some isolated articles because of spoilers and I don't know if I'm getting the game this month. Use the place you want to be edited's talk page.HauntedLorene (talk) 07:43, October 21, 2016 (UTC)
