Spoiler infoboxes
Would you be able to create some tabbed infoboxes similar to those you created for Forum:Character_Images_and_Infoboxes so we could switch between spoiler-free and spoilery versions of infoboxes? That way we can hide CC spoilers while also making up-to-date info quickly available. Thanks! &#x2605; S t a r s t u f f  (Owl me!) 02:50, June 11, 2016 (UTC)

Slufgorn in summer
I noticed that Pottermore states he was born in April, so he could not have been born in summer. I think this would make the earliest April 1882.--Rodolphus (talk) 07:15, June 11, 2016 (UTC)

Hi! Why did you undo the changes to the pages? That's information from the play and it was officially confirmed in other media already.


 * Hi, I like your tabbed infobox. But the deleted info from the play is not in the second infobox. Is that impossible to put it in? Or shall it not be done because of Rowling's wish "to keep the secrets"?  Harry granger   Talk    contribs  17:07, June 11, 2016 (UTC)

Cursed child spoilers
I've made a few edits, but I will refrain from spoiling the play. However, I hope this hush hush policy is only temporary. The additional tab for some characters would be redundant after a while, seeing how most information is identical. These things will become more or less public knowledge in the fandom and beyond after a while. Coming to the wiki in these times is actively seeking spoilers in my opinion.

Help

 * Hey! I was wondering if you could overlook something for me. You’re the only person that I have really spoke to on here yet and I trust you to be fair because I think I’m getting into an edit war and I don’t know what to do! I am also scared that because they have been on here longer than I have, they will be unfairly supported. :S


 * Yesterday, I made the page Isolt Sayre. I started with making an infobox and a small introductory paragraph. I saved it and when I did, I asked other users to take into consideration that I would be making a biography for the rest of the afternoon and that I would be grateful if no one else edited the page until I was done because my work would get deleted. Everyone here is giving up their free time to write things on here and I trusted that everyone would see it and be kind enough to let me write. I understand if it was some new user who only came on that same day to start adding things, but I thought already established users would check and not start making their own big biography too.


 * Unfortunately, I went to save my work having checked no one else had done anything – and save for a picture and alterations to the reference – no one had. But in that minute between checking and clicking publish, a well established user ignored me or didn’t check whether anyone else had said anything about not editing and started making their own biography before then ironically making the same warning I did asking no one to edit. I had spent several hours writing a full biography.


 * So I quickly salvaged what I could of what I wrote which was an entire biography compared to their half of a biography, and posted it above their work. Yes, some of it was now like Pottermore’s but I intended to alter those lines when I read through the page and remembered what I originally put. I thought they would copy and paste some of their work to mine and help me change those lines like other users started to do. Eventually, their paragraph got deleted and I assumed the problem was over.


 * Over the course of the evening, other users gave their free time up to help add to the page, alter lines and add links. But I get up this morning, and the user who was chose to write their own biography and ignore mine, deleted everything. Everything single thing that I did and what other people did has gone. The only thing that remains is the infobox. Even the introductory paragraph was changed when there was nothing wrong with what I wrote. I have had a few edits of mine on other pages changed because I altered something which didn’t need editing and I accept that. I didn’t have to change it and I understood why it was changed back but I don't understand why this has been changed! :)


 * So I’m a bit upset and may have a wrote a very long message on said user’s page. It’s not a mean one, but I had to say something because someone else had noticed and already asked why they massively deleted everything instead of editing what was already written and their response was that someone, meaning me, ignored their warning when they actually ignored mine first. But I’m afraid it might get taken the wrong way and the argument will continue and turn nasty so I regret adding to their talk page now and I don't want to be percieved as childish.


 * I am only upset because yesterday was a wasted afternoon. I spent so much time on it. I am not childish enough to delete everything they have now written. But I want to add some of what I wrote when I tweak what they have wrote. But I don’t trust them not to delete it again and the message I wrote will be read soon so I was hoping you or an admin you know well could be some kind of mediator before everything gets out of hand!

RE spelling differences
Yes, that's fine! I am always happy to help. I have spell checked a lot of articles lately too. The words I have changed from US to UK spellings are the common way they are spelt in Britain. If in doubt, I find it useful to check by comparing the word from the way it is spelt in the New Oxford American Dictionary to the Oxford Dictionary of English. I took English Literature at University so I am very familiar with the differences between American English and our English so let me know if you need an opinion on any historical oddities!

Helping out
Do you mean as far as helping out with Cursed Child information? Well, nobody. I have been and always will be a fan, I just haven't been very active here recently. But of course I was in line last night like most others here imagined for a copy of the book of the play and I was up a good portion of last night reading it before going to bed.

 * Nah, I actually meant your request that you left on my talk page. And yeah, I know what you mean. I'm actually still something of a night owl myself. I probably could have read the entire book last night if I tried, but I didn't want to take it all in at once - sort of savor the moment, you know. It's definitely a real mind-twist of a story, isn't it? :) I imagine it must be spectacular to watch as a play, but of course, I'm in the U.S., so I guess I'll just have to wait and see if they do decide to do productions here.

 * Physical descriptors from highest canon only seems to be the only reasonable way, IMO. Doing otherwise seems like opening a Pandora's box for either endless and counterproductive information swapping ("No, but Daniel Radcliffe's this tall -- No! But Jamie Parker's this tall!"), or for out-of-universe notes being added to the infobox. If there's sufficient want, I'll open another vote, but I don't really think it's necessary. -- <font style="background:#FFFFFF;color:#333333;"> Seth Cooper <font style="background:#333333;color:white;"> owl post! 23:06, August 2, 2016 (UTC)

Timelines
Hey! I was wondering what the third and fourth timelines were. I want to help you list the differences only I am certain there were only two changed timelines before time got changed back to the original again. I think I may not being seeing the logic properly as the changes in time along with everything else is a lot to take in! Thank you! --Kates39 (talk) 20:44, August 2, 2016 (UTC)


 * I had a quick read through the play again, and the second and third timelines definitely need to be merged since they happen in the same timeline. The fourth timeline actually happens in the original timeline so I think it is best to rename it the original timeline. Delphi never manages to change anything so it's not a fourth changed timeline. I am happy change the page myself so you can see what I mean and work from there! (If that's okay with you - if you want to change it since you have been working on it that's fine!) I hope that made sense! :) --Kates39 (talk) 21:13, August 2, 2016 (UTC)

Hello,

So I've recently been having a look at possible jobs for bots, and have a few ideas in mind. I currently have a bot (ArrestoMomentumBot) in full working order over at the LOTR Wiki, and had a chat with Seth about getting it into working order over here. He seemed to think that it would be wise for me to apply for a Bot Flag, but thought that should have a chat to you first. I mean, if you think that doing all of the botting for this community is easy enough for you, then by all means, I won't apply.

I know the one for the in universe book but I couldn't find any for the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (companion book) or the films! How would I go about making them?

Authority vs Power
"In the text of the novels, 'Power' is used hundreds of time in regards to the rise of Voldemort and the Death Eaters.": True. "'Authority' is never used to describe their aims or intentions and the word 'dominion' is never used once in any book.": Authority is never used to describe their aims or intentions? Just because dominion is not used does not mean it is not applicable. "J.K. Rowling's words are far more precise so let's stick to them.": Even she may not use the most precise and accurate word choice at all times for everything.

Re: Deja vu
Yeah, I had my suspicions from his edits themselves, but what kind of confirms it for me is his "streamlining signature" edit summary when editing talk pages. What I can't figure out is how he's managing to circumvent his bans; if you check his block logs (both J7 and KilerBird), we, the admins, disable account creation, so he's not creating new accounts here. The only logical conclusion I can reach is that he's finding wikis from which he hasn't been banned, creating accounts there, and returning here. -- <font face="Comic Sans MS" color="red">Cubs Fan <font face="Comic Sans MS" color="white">(Talk to me)  22:23, August 16, 2016 (UTC)

Redirects
Hey! I think it may be a good idea to create a Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (film series) page. However, it appears someone made a page with that name once and then decided to make it a redirect to the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (film) page. However, that page is just for only one of the films. There will be two more which will need their own pages. I think we need a page that sums up the entire series, just how we have one for the Harry Potter (film series). I tried to make the page but since it's a redirect, I can't seem to do it. How do I remove the redirect so I can make the title it's own page? I don't want to mess things up too much! Thank you! --Kates39 (talk) 10:43, August 31, 2016 (UTC)

RE: Hogwarts staff individual infobox
Hey there!

Thanks for pointing that out! The reason behind this is because the blood status bit is now using a switch function to determine which category and blood status to display.

This works 100% fine on pages such as Neville Longbottom where the only thing contained in the blood paramater is Half-blood or Pure-blood. However on pages such as Minerva McGonagall there is a tag preventing the switch function from properly working. I'm currently working on a fix. :)

RE: Title template
Hey there,

I did take a look at his talk page before I began removing the template and as SuperSajuuk said, it looks like it's nothing more than a legacy fix. I also saw that Seth never replied to Sajuuk's message regarding removal of Template:Title, so combined with the fact that the template does not affect the page at all I figured it would be safe to remove it.

Credence
I don't recall a statement from Rowling that Credence has a large role to play in future films. All I can remember is this summary of an Entertainment Weekly article, where it's stated that Credence is "apparently a character that becomes notable in the Harry Potter universe," but it's from a year ago, when information on the film was just starting to come out. Chances are that the filmmakers decided to change Credence's fate after the article was written, or the article's author(s) simply got their facts incorrect. Every indication from the movie/script is that Credence is dead. &#x2605; S t a r s t u f f  (Owl me!) 09:00, November 21, 2016 (UTC)

Actors Nationalities
Wikipedia nationality guidelines do not state that only English actors should be labeled as British. If we are to follow the same style across the whole wiki then all English actors should have their nationality listed as English and not British as have been done with Scottish actors. Either change the English actors to English, or have all British actors listed as British. Continuing to have only some of the United Kingdom actors/actresses listed as British and the others as their respective Union nations is inconsistant, controversial and seen as very political.

Thanks for your thoughts on the issue. In my opinion I would prefer all British actors to be labeled as British. It certainly is a controversial issue, which is why I tend to stear towards the practice of one label, despite the recommendation of not enforcing uniformity. Due to conflicting opinions I would refer to official and legal definitions of nationality within the United Kingdom which is those who are a citizen of the UK are a British national. English, Welsh, Scottish and N Irish are seen as ethnicities and not nationalities, therefore labelling nationality as English or Scottish etc is, while perhaps satisfying some feelings of some groups, is not factually correct by official standards. It's using incorrect information to pander to one side of the issue, while ignoring those on the other. That being said, if it is indeed impossible to stick to the official nationality of British for UK citizens, then the second best option would be to use the individual countries for everyone i.e all English actors as English. I think the biggest issue here is having everyone from England labeled as British and everyone from Scotland labeled as Scottish appears to invoke a political statement, not to mention appears inconsistent with styling. Your thoughts? Albion85 (talk) 04:40, December 2, 2016 (UTC)


 * On the whole, I agree with Wikipedia's UK Nationality guidelines. I think specifying the consistency, when it's easily verifiable, is the best approach, but there's no need for 100% uniformity since enforcing that seems to only bring about counterproductive edit warring over something that's frankly trivial. -- <font style="background:#FFFFFF;color:#333333;"> Seth Cooper <font style="background:#333333;color:white;"> owl post! 12:55, December 2, 2016 (UTC)

Quidditch Chocolate Frog Card
Hello!

Primarily, sorry for my poor English.

I noticed that you were trying to re-organize national Quidditch teams articles because of Chocolate Frog Cards in HP6 DS/PSP. I just want warn you that some names and tiltes are different from Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup. For exemple, worst is Japanese team cards : the card Tamotsu Iwamoto shows in fact Ryotaro Tanaka, Ryotaro Tanaka ' s card shows Noriyuki Sato, Noriyuki Sato ' s card shows Keiko Takahashi and Keiko Takahashi ' s card shows Tamotsu Iwamoto. You can heard/see right names/characters in the Quidditch World Cup video game. Shinra (parlotage) 21:33, January 8, 2017 (UTC)

Would it be possible to use your bot to replace instances of Category:Patronus Forms with Category:Patronus forms?

Errol Hawkworth
We can assume that children have the same surname as their father unless there's some evidence to suggest otherwise (e.g., the parents are conclusively known not to have been married, or they gave their children hyphenated surnames like we now know that Ron and Hermione did).

As for Emmett, unless he's explicitly identified in the game's text as Errol Hawkworth's father, it's possible that he was Ernest's maternal grandfather, and thus not a Hawkworth. In which case we'd just have the article on him located at Emmett. &#x2605; S t a r s t u f f  (Owl me!) 19:19, March 8, 2017 (UTC)

 * A user made has made a complete muck of the birth categorization system, adding Category:20th century births to the articles of characters whose specific year, or at least decade, of birth is known. This, of course, is redundant and has made a mess of the century categories, which are reserved for characters whose century of birth, but not specific decade or year, is known. I could really use some help going through this and trying to put things back in order if you've got the time. &#x2605; S t a r s t u f f  (Owl me!) 09:52, March 9, 2017 (UTC)


 * I manually cleaned up the "20th century births" category. Some of the other birth categories might need to be cleaned up, though, and it's looking like the Category:Individuals by year of Sorting and Category:Individuals by year of death and their children will need to be seen to as well.


 * I can't think of an instance where both higher- and lower-level birth/death/sorting categories (e.g. "Category:20th century births" and "Category:1970s births") would need to be included in an article. If we're able to pinpoint a specific character's birth to the late 1970s based on new information, for instance, then there's no longer a need to list them under "Category:20ths century births." That category is for when we only have enough info to pin a birth down to a specific century. Or where when a character was born at the turn of a decade and we can't pinpoint on which side they fall. Like many of the students in Harry's year. We don't know if Lavender Brown was born in 1979 or 1980, and it wouldn't be appropriate to categorize her under both "Category:1970s births" and "Category:1980s births," since someone cannot have been born in two decades (excepting, perhaps, the very rare baby born at 12AM on New Year's Day, which I doubt applies to Lavender). So she has to default to "20th century births," even though her birth falls in one of two specific years.


 * Nationality categories are a bit more complicated. It's possible for two child categories to apply to a character in the case of emigration (e.g., "Category:French individuals" and "Category:English individuals" for Fleur Delacour, who moved to England from France upon marriage).


 * I'd love to be able to delegate the job of removing redundant categories to a bot. My only concern is that the bot wouldn't be able to discern where to place a category within the alphabetic ordering used for to organize categories, and would just slap it onto the end like a lot of new editors do. &#x2605; S t a r s t u f f  (Owl me!) 20:33, March 9, 2017 (UTC)

 * I proposed cleaning up Category:Creatures a while back. I do think it could benefit from an effort to reduce redundancy, but, at the same time, I think there's a benefit to cross-listing articles in both parent and child cats that might not apply elsewhere. The Ministry of Magic divisions categories (Category:Beasts, Category:Beings, Category:Spirits) seem speculative in a lot of cases, i.e. we don't have official canon confirmation that certain creatures fall under certain categories, we're inferring their classifications based on their similarity or dissimilarity to known beasts, beings, and spirits. Thus I think it would be impossible to to completely empty the top-tier level Category:Creatures into the MoM division cats.


 * Might be better to try to impose an organization scheme similar to Category:Individuals, where there's various thematic container sub-categories. Like "Creatures by classification", "Creatures by species," "Creatures by range," etc. &#x2605; S t a r s t u f f  (Owl me!) 07:10, March 10, 2017 (UTC)
