| :I also wondered about them, I suppose that they are from the Time-Shifted Cards of Future-Sight, respectively, they were the first cards using them. --[[User:Hó-òh|<span style="color:#00DD66">Hó-òh</span>]] [[User talk:Hó-òh|<font face=" Monotype Corsiva">Diskussion</font>]] 04:15, 6 August 2008 (EDT)

| ::I think they need mention under the symbols that they are from Future Sight time shifted cards, then. --[[User:GeoMike|GeoMike]] 06:47, 6 August 2008 (EDT)
| |
| :::They are also used in [[Magic Online]] since v.3, so imo that's not necessary. [[User:Oracle of Truth|Oracle of Truth]] 07:17, 6 August 2008 (EDT)

| ==Time formatting==
| |
| Hi, what about time formatting, and where to discuss? If it's ok here and you mean general time formatting in our articles, then I'd suggest to keep it consistent with mtg.com, since we have tons of references that already use this format ;) . It is also less ambiguous to Europeans compared to other (shorter) options. [[User:Oracle of Truth|Oracle of Truth]] 19:19, 14 August 2008 (EDT)
| |
| :Awesome, a response! :D Well, I am used to European time templating, DD MM YYYY. But, another thing is, my buddy from Germany, is the comma. Should we have DD[space]MM[comma][space]YYYY or DD[space]MM[space]YYYY? :) <small>'''[[User:Magic Mage|<sup>M</sup><sub>M</sub>]]''' '''<sup>([[User_talk:Magic_Mage|talk!]])</sup>'''</small> 02:34, 15 August 2008 (EDT)
| |
| ::Usually there are no commas in European dates, they are separated by full stops (e.g. "15.08.2008" in Germany) or by slashes (e.g. "15/08/2008" in Great Britain). But as I said, we should really stick to the format Wizards uses, i.e. '''"Friday, August 15, 2008"''' (German equivalent would be "Freitag, 15. August 2008"). [[User:Oracle of Truth|Oracle of Truth]] 06:32, 15 August 2008 (EDT)
| |
| :::Oh s[bleep][bleep][bleep]... I remember taking your stance once upon a time. Yes, we outta keep with Wizards on this. Can you guys change it to that formatting, please? Sorry.
| |
| :::I would, but you know what's up. :-/

| :::Thank you, oracle of truth for all you've done, all you're about to do, and all you'll do. I guess this shall be my last edit before the sui-block works and stays. :P

| I see there's some discussion about copyright above. Is that why there isn't a page for every card? I can fairly easily knock together a program to create a magiccards.info-style page for each card and keep it up to date (although I don't have scans) if you like ... [[User:Bakert|Bakert]] 18:28, 17 August 2008 (EDT)
| |
| :That's not really an issue, at least for now. Duplicating magiccards.info is sort of pointless since both that site and this wiki are owned and hosted by [[Hannes]]. And as I [[Help talk:Card tags|said before]], currently there is a consensus not to this. [[User:Oracle of Truth|Oracle of Truth]] 20:55, 17 August 2008 (EDT)

| ::Thanks for the good luck, and no it's not ''that'' bad that you archived, it's just I already thought of a funny caption: "Big Bang till September 2008". Well, I'll change it someday. As for the templates, askref is broken beyond repair while the others should be adjusted. But we are in no rush, since they redirect to the right page except for the arcanas, that are missing between 2006 and 2008. I made some noise on Wizard's forums, but so far no response.

| |
| You mean on the Alara template? What? I derno, I didn't add any information on any pages of late, I think; I've just been doing cleaning-up. ??? As for the shards template, "shard" redirects to the Shards of some other thing, and "shards" was non-existent.
| |
| | |
| Shards of Alara (storyline) is not meant to be a "duplicate" page, as you say; instead, it's supposed to be a page that discusses the shards themselves, or the fact that Alara's split up into these shards. <FONT FACE="Arial Narrow"><small>'''[[User:Magic Mage|<sup>M</sup><sub>M</sub>]]''' '''<sup>([[User_talk:Magic_Mage|talk!]])</sup>'''</small></FONT> 13:55, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
| |
| :Well, that's what [[Alara]] is for, imo^^. But yeah you are right, in that case [[Shards]] shouldn't be a separate page either. So how about changing [[shard]] into a disambig, linking to a subsection of Alara and merge your article with it? [[User:Oracle of Truth|Oracle of Truth]] 14:02, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

| ==MediaWiki:Sidebar==
| |
| So, magiccards.info got added, huh.
| |
| | |
| I added Gatherer as it provides Oracle wording; my bad. Perhaps Hannes could add an additional search box under the search, for card searching.
| |
| | |
| As for MTG Salvation, well, ... I thought it could get a little more coverage by being in the thing. But, there's little point to that, being so out-of-date, I guess, heh. :P It's a bit of a shame the older guys with more access, like sneaky and votan, have left. It'd be inaccurate for me, or anyone, to recount Salvation's history. <FONT FACE="Arial Narrow"><small>'''[[User:Magic Mage|<sup>M</sup><sub>M</sub>]]''' '''<sup>([[User_talk:Magic_Mage|talk!]])</sup>'''</small></FONT> 15:35, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
