Talk:RangerWiki

Umm...I'm not starting this! I'm just the first to realize there is nothing here...ummm....- KFan II

To Administrator of this Wiki: If you want, I can take over this and put this Wiki into action. I was hoping to start the Power Rangers Wiki here. If you are interested, contact me on RangerBoard. My name is "Evil_Green_Ranger" just P.M. me if your interested. If you don't have an account there just talk to me here.

Major additions
Hey all. Having found this wiki, have spent some time tidying it up, adding the encyclopedia on the front page and all-round sorting. I hope no-one thinks I am trying to take over. I am merely trying to set up some basics, so we can get a community here with some foundations to work with. Anyone with any comments feel free to get in touch -- MiChaos 15:46, 12 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Administration
Hi, since the founder of this wiki is inactive, i've requested to become sysop. I want to combine this wiki, with the two other german and french wiki. To make the greates multilingual power rangers resource site.

everyone who has comments or ideas, please talk to me

--Serpen 22:46, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

I belive you should post this on the founders talk page and wait for a response before posting it here! -- Awar 12:42, 24 May 2007 (UTC).
 * Hi, since that date, i already am the sysop, i tried to contact the founder for a month. But his profile hasn't even a email stated, so it's impossible to reach him anyway. And he hasn't edited (possible even visited) anything on wikia for years. --Serpen 11:36, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Then leave a message on his or her talk page if there is one, and do as you see fit to impove this Wiki! -- Awar 13:56, 29 May 2007 (UTC).
 * I've already written there for a long time, but that even doesn't matter: he is completely inactive and I haven't taken away his admin rights, I've he wants to come back, he still could do everything. Yes and I want to improve this wiki and have already set up a better structure than before (Categories, Tidying up etc) --Serpen 20:22, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Links at Wikipedia
I am tired of having to remove links to this Wikia at Wikipedia. There is currently only a link at Power Rangers and that is really the only place that the link needs to be. If you want to introduce your Wikia at Wikipedia, please use a logged in account and contact the WikiProject.— Ryūlóng ( 竜龍 ) 21:17, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry if I've make some stress about the Wiki Articles, I just added the links to the pages which contain also other links, like rangercentral and the Jungle Fury Article because the Power Rangers Universe Wiki has currently more information about it. Why stay the other links in the some season articles? And why removing GekiRanger.net from the Jungle Fury Article??? Won't create an account for just adding links and the links priority of a signed user isn't higher than an ip. --Serpen 09:53, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Gekiranger.net (and Junglefury.net) are fansites that plagiarize Wikipedia articles.— Ryūlóng ( 竜龍 ) 23:49, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Wow, big accusation. I really know those sites since a few days and i'm not familar with the english wikipedia power rangers articles, however i know that this wiki starts as a cheap copy of wikipedia articles. But in my eyes the gekiranger site seems to have some more information than wikipedia. However, i stop adding links to this wikia to wikipedia articles. --Serpen 00:06, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
 * The Digimon Wiki went and deleted all the Digimon articles on Wikipedia and did a soft redirect to their articles instead since they had information that Wikipedia wouldn't allow. That's always an option for us, I suppose... --Gear-Richie 20:46, January 28, 2010 (UTC)

Comment?
You do realize this show is completely ripped off of Japanese TV. WHy not inform people of the show's true origins?
 * There is a complete Sentai Section for those informations and many articles list those articles under See Also. --Serpen 22:52, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Dear Power Rangers, I love your shows! That's why I made every type of morpher for evey type of ranger team out of paper. (exept the morphers for power rangers jungle fury) But I use the morphrs only when I play any type of power rangers game.

Your fan, Ramy Shahin

Banner ads
We have a problem. It now appears that banner ads are showing up all over the pages, mainly at the top. What is causing this? WhiteLight95 15:59, 17 June 2008 (UTC)WhiteLight9
 * That's a gift of the new global Wikia Skin. The Wikia Staff now puts the advertisments inside the page. But i see nothing of it because I'm using Firefox with an Adblocker, so if you also would disable these ads, load FF with Adblock Plus. (Mozilla Servers are at the moment a little slow) --serpen 18:27, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Switching to the new parser
Hi,

We are currently making preparations for the next wiki software upgrade. While we expect this to have little or no effect on most wikis, it may cause some pages on this wiki to render poorly. To help reduce or eliminate these issues, please see the Central Forums for more details.

Thanks - sannse (talk) 13:02, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi, on most wikis, it may cause some pages on this wiki, is that the standard text or does it mean on this wiki are some bad pages, if so, please give examples. --serpen 16:46, 11 February 2009 (UTC)


 * This message went to all the wikis that look to have problems from our tests. There is more info on the Central Forum linked above, along with links to specific pages that may have problems. Each of the pages listed has a difference, but not all the differences mean an effect on the final page. I suggest you copy the list to a wiki page, and then you can delete any you have checked -- sannse (talk) 21:03, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

Misnomer
Sentai do not have "Megazords", they have giant robots. Ergo, said category is a misnomer.

Don't know how old this is or who posted it, but we have separate articles for the Sentai's "Mecha." --Gear-Richie 15:45, January 28, 2010 (UTC)

Megazord Weights
A lot of pages for Megazords have their mass as part of the info- where exactly does this info come from? 58.174.227.190 12:38, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

If I'm not mistaken, I believe that information came from the Megazord toys that have random information about the zords themselves on it. How canon this information is can't really be confirmed, but that's all the information we've got. --Gear-Richie 21:59, January 19, 2010 (UTC)

pink rangers
3 section of it under charactes on the menu it needs be only one

Timeline
The timelines in RPM are confusing...... --User:SuperSaiyanKirby 22:07, 22 September 2009

Admins needed
Hi all, it looks like the admins haven't been active on this wiki in the last couple of months. I'd suggest that the active editors discuss which user(s) you trust to use the admin tools, then drop a note at http://adopt.wikia.com with a link to this discussion, and we can give the admin rights to the people you agree on. Thanks! — Catherine (talk) 17:50, January 19, 2010 (UTC)

Admin nominations and discussion here
Has nobody nominated anyone yet? Any volunteers? I'd be willing since I've been around a while, and I'm eligible under Wikia's terms. --Gear-Richie 20:10, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

I checked your page man. Got my vote. Hell, I'd volunteer myself, but I've probably not been here long enough to be trusted that well.Ozu Miyuki 19:29, January 25, 2010 (UTC)

I'll put my hat in the ring if necessary. Mugenhunt 20:52, January 25, 2010 (UTC)

That makes two of us so far. But the announcement did say user(s). Despite the banner on top of the pages, we're not getting much of a response. Is anyone else up for it? --Gear-Richie 05:08, January 27, 2010 (UTC)

Well, since I don't think anyone else is going to volunteer, I will. I do realize I have not been here long, but I think I could do the job. So long as you other two don't care, I'd like to do this.Ozu Miyuki 05:38, January 27, 2010 (UTC)

I hereby nominate Gear-Richie and Ozu Miyuki for the position of Admin over the Power Rangers Wiki. You two sound level headed enough and willing to make this wiki work. If you need my help lemme know, but I think you two will be fine. Mugenhunt 07:50, January 27, 2010 (UTC)

Alright. If Richie accepts, so will I.Ozu Miyuki 19:50, January 27, 2010 (UTC)

Sounds good to me. I accept as well. Look forward to working with you all. My only question is whether or not we should wait longer to apply for the position, or do it right away. We may have other editors that want to voice an opinion. --Gear-Richie 01:51, January 28, 2010 (UTC)

They've had plenty of time to do that. There was a bullentin that was shown on every page. I say we go ahead and do it, so we can start cleaning this place up a bit better. Ozu Miyuki 03:21, January 28, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, I've submitted the request on both our behalves. Now we just wait for a response. --Gear-Richie 03:33, January 28, 2010 (UTC)

Problem with new black background
I have noticed that the new black background makes it difficult to read notices put up in an attempt to improve articles, such as "I'm sorry, Rangers, but we simply do not have enough information to proceed."

Please, either fix the problem, or change the background back. I would much prefer the latter, as it has worked fine, so far.Dstebbins 22:27, April 24, 2010 (UTC)

I'll contact Sena and let him/her know. That was the person who changed it. Ozu Miyuki 00:58, April 25, 2010 (UTC)

Wikia's new look
How many people are going to switch to the new look? I've done it, and it's gonna take some getting used to. Ozu Miyuki 21:32, October 11, 2010 (UTC)

An update. It seems you can edit the New Look for whatever colors, designs you so desire. I currently run a full moon background, with violet themed pages. Once the switchover is permanent, a new Theme will be created and installed. For anyone wanting to play with the Theme, and come up with your own, here is where to go. Special:ThemeDesigner. Note this page only works under the new Wikia Look. Ozu Miyuki 21:30, October 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * It also only works if you're an administrator or Wikia staff. Digifiend 20:09, October 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh. Well damn, that kinda sucks. Ozu Miyuki 23:23, October 18, 2010 (UTC)

Link colour
I really like the new layout, there's just one issue- the colour of links (and in connection menu items) doesn't show up very well on the grey, since they're dark blue. Perhaps a change to a very light blue, so it'll be easier to read? Dave B 03:31, November 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Fixed. Digifiend 08:55, November 11, 2010 (UTC)

Cestro's Race
In almost every mention of "Cestro of Aquitar", he is referred to as "African American". This is far from accurate, as he is not from Earth, let along from America. He's not an American citizen, and his decendants most likely were never even human, let alone from the Earth continent of Africa. He is simply a dark-skinned Aquitian, and should be treated as such.

Fanon
Can we please move all the fanon stuff here to a new Power Rangers Fanon Wiki? --MrThermomanPreacher 21:29, March 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * What fanon? Please name some examples of what you think shouldn't be here. Digifiend 01:18, March 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * Those blog posts about Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Reboots and fake Power Rangers movies. It would be better to have them on a Fanon Wiki than here. --MrThermomanPreacher 17:06, March 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, the blogs are really just for fans to have some fun anyhow and are not truly a wiki page, so I don't see the point in moving them to a seperate space. DigiRanger  17:29, March 11, 2011 (UTC)

Race
Can we remove all of the "This person was the nth X-colored ranger" things in Trivia? If the show doesn't make a big deal about race, why should we?--Xepscern 00:02, June 16, 2011 (UTC)

Answers Wiki
 

I've spotted a Power Rangers Answers Wiki and a Power Rangers Fanon Wiki, should we include these on the Main Page as related sites. --MrThermomanPreacher 17:04, June 27, 2011 (UTC)
