Sure thing! Here's our wiki wordmark:

Have a good day.

Of course, go ahead! Thanks for helping out.

Thanks so much!

Hey Undella,

I'll work with Lucas alongside on this wiki. I was wondering if I could make a few small changes to the mainpage:

1. I would suggest to replacethe slider with the navigation from the right side. Sliders aren't used a lot by visitors.
2. Also, I would suggest to move the twitter feed to the right rail to make more space in the community area.
3. Finally I would switch the "Poll" and the "Helping Out" area on the right rail. This way potential editors don't have to scroll down to find pages about how to help us.

Please let me know what you think about this!

Greetings, Raintalk

Hello,

Thank you for the suggestions. I like the second and third points, so you could change that if you'd like. However, could you elaborate on the first point a bit? What do you mean by that the sliders aren't used by visitors- do you mean mobile phone users perhaps? Desktop users do seem to like the feature, in which it makes the main page look more aesthetically pleasing as well as more organized.

Thank you in advance. :)

Hey,

compared to other areas of the mainpage it has a lower use rate than other elements. Take a look at this image. Even though the slider is at the top, most visitors scroll down to use the gallery/navigation elements of the mainpage.

If you really want to keep the slider (which is your choice of course), I would suggest to move the navigation from the right rail area below the slider to give it more space. Also, I would suggest to add "normal links" like Light Novel below the navigation images.

Also, if you want I can create a sandbox to show you how these changes would look like.

Please let me know what you think about it! :)

Greetings, Raintalk

I'd would be glad if you could make a sandbox. I think I want to keep the slider (I hope you understand and I hope it's not too much trouble), though you are more than welcome to make the other changes you have suggested. I like them too and look forward to see how it will look.

- Undella

I'll create a sandbox later today or tomorrow then and sure we can keep the slider. That's not a problem at all! :)

Greetings, Raintalk

Hello again!

I created the mainpage on my sandbox and added some CSS for it to your CSS. Without rightrail it would look like this. Please let me know if you dislike something or you want me to change something. :)

Also, if it would be fine for you, I would like to clear the maintenance reports on your wiki (like Special:WantedCategories and others). I already did some cleanup and I would like to do some more if this is fine with you. :)

Greetings, Raintalk

Oh wow, I love it! Thank you so much! My only concern is that when the 'Navigation' section is in the left rail, it appears to take too much place so it leans over to the right side (I hope that makes sense). It looked fine in your screenshot, so I don't if it's only a thing that's only happening to me. I'm also thinking of switching places with the 'Poll' and 'Twitter' sections.

And absolutely, that is completely fine!

Glad to hear you like it! It's probably because you had the right rail on (Discord server, recent acitivity and the chat module). This shouldn't be an issue on the actual mainpage. If you want, I can switch them. If there are no other concerns, would it be fine to implement those changes?

Okay, will do that tomorrow then probably. Will give myself a bot flag so I don't flood the recent changes!

Yes, feel free to change stuff as you'd like. Thanks once again for the hard work! :)

I just updated the mainpage - I'll go through the maintenance reports now. :)

Ah, thank you very much. It looks great. However, it still looks like this for me?:

Maybe I could change the pictures so they aren't so 'broad', if that doesn't mess up the actual main page?

Should be changed now!

It definitely looks better, but unfortunately it still remains partly the same. :/ Maybe it's just me that's being nitpicky, so yeah don't worry about it.

If you want, you can adjust the filze size to your liking at Template:Navigation.

Alright, thank you for all the help~

Hello again,

I wanted to clean Special:Uncategorizedimages and I noticed you only set up a few image categories. Would you mind me setting up some image categories for characters (and what else is needed). I think it's important to categorize all images on a wiki (just like pages) and would love to help you with that. On Violet Evergarden Wikia:Image Guidelines is only the category images mentioned.

Greetings, Raintalk

Yeah, I've thought about it too for a long time but never gone trough with it. So feel free to organize as you wish and I'd be happy to help you out as well!

Okay, great - I'll create some categories tomorrow and will try to categorize as much as possible.

Hey, I added all images to categories now. I hope you like the "systen" and you will keep using it. All images can be found at and it's sub-categories.

Greetings, Raintalk

I love it! Thank you once again, and I'll be sure to keep using the "system". :)

Hello,

I personally don't like it when people copy my CSS, templates and stuff, since every Wiki should have its individual design. Additionally, some of the CSS from this Wiki was given to me from another person, so I'm not sure if I can give you the codes.

But if you're really desperate and need to build up your wiki, I guess it's fine as long as you credit us. Check out our MediaWiki:Wikia.css page and MediaWiki:ImportJS page. If you have more questions, feel free to ask me. :)

Yeah, I've heard about it. :( There's seriously some messed up people in the world. My thoughts and prayers go out to the people and families involved.

Ishidate is reported to be safe, though no official confirmation as yet. This incident was absolutely shocking and devestating. I also pray for everyone involved in this horrific event.

I will be happy to affiliate with the Overlord Wiki.

Here is our wordmark: 

Here is our wiki's wordmark:

Hello, sorry for my late response!

It's exactly as you said, the "status" label reffers to the character's status, as in if they're alive or deceased. So it will be appropriate to change it from "active" to "alive". Sorry for making it so confusing!

No need to apologize, thank you for the clarification!

On second thought, I think it would be more suitable for the Hibike! Euphonium Wiki to have the "status" refer to the "active/inactive" meaning as there is only one deceased character in the series (that I can think of) - Taki's Wife. It would be redundant to have 99% of the characters having an "alive" status, since the series does not incorporate violence or death, but having an "inactive" status would inform users that the character has graduated from the school or left the band and therefore will not be playing an active role in the current series. What do you think?

Yep, that sounds good to me.

Cool!

Hello and thank you Yuji! :D

So yeah, I made some research and it seems like what you're saying is accurate. I think the best and most organized choice would be that we, like one of the things you suggested, rename the whole page to Enchaine with the Enciel Kingdom as a section.

Alright, let's do that.

Hello Aphrodite Belleza,

At the moment, this wiki is not particularly in need of admins/content mod, but I'm open for giving out those position. You seem to be reliable and have experience, so I'm definitely not against the idea, but I would like to see more from you before giving that position. I hope you understand.

Alright, I will help to edit the articles here when I have the time. Thank you for your quick reply~😃

Hello again,

I mentioned how I am quite familar with coding, so I would like to recommend some CSS you can add into the wiki, hope you can accept them~:

This would make the activity feed in Special:WikiActivity pretty-looking.

/* Activity Feed customization – From The Promised Neverland wiki */
.activityfeed > li {
	background-color: #E6E6FA;
	border-left: 5px solid #E6E6FA;
	border-radius: 3px;
	box-shadow: 0 2px 4px rgba(0, 0, 0, .2);
	margin: 0.5em;
	overflow: hidden;
	padding-left: 3em;
	transition: all 0.3s;
}
.activityfeed > li.activity-type-edit {
	border-left-color: #FF8C00;
}
.activityfeed > li.activity-type-edit:hover {
	border-left-color: #EE82EE;
}
.activityfeed > li.activity-type-new {
	border-left-color: #FF4343;
}
.activityfeed > li.activity-type-new:hover {
	border-left-color: #c92424;
}
.activityfeed > li.activity-type-talk {
	border-left-color: #538FC5;
}
.activityfeed > li.activity-type-talk:hover {
	border-left-color: #3564BA;
}
.activityfeed > li.activity-type-categorization {
	border-left-color: #0fd4c5;
}
.activityfeed > li.activity-type-categorization:hover {
	border-left-color: #02a397;
}
.activityfeed > li:hover {
	background-color: #D8BFD8;
	box-shadow: 0 2px 4px rgba(0, 0, 0, .5);
}

This one can make the left and right vertical corners of the wiki glow, only visible in desktop mode.

/* Site glow */
.WikiaPage {
    border: 2px solid #DA70D6;
    box-shadow: 0px 0px 28px #DA70D6;
}

If you hover a cursor to any links, a box containing info and a pic of that linked article will appear:

/* Link Preview - From Attack on Titan Wiki */
.npage-preview {
    background: plum;
    border: 1px solid #444;
    box-shadow: 0 0 10px #333;
    overflow: hidden;
    padding: 10px;
    position: fixed !important;
    top: 5px !important;
}
.npage-preview-noimage {
    display: none;
}

The polls will look like this if you add the following code in.

/* Poll - From The Promised Neverland Wiki */
 
div.ajax-poll {
    background: #D8BFD8; 
    text-align: left; 
    border:3px solid #F7FFEF !important; 
    padding:3px; 
    vertical-align:top; 
    border-radius: 1em 2em 1em 2em !important;
}
 
.ajax-poll > .header, div.ajax-poll > label, .pollAnswerName, .ajax-poll div {
    color:#F7FFEF;
}
 
.pollAnswerVotes, .pollAnswerVotes div {
    border-radius:20px;
    color:violet;
}
 
.pollAnswerVotes div {
    background-color: #EE82EE !important;
    border:0;
    border-right:0 !important;
}
 
.pollAnswerVotes {
    background: #9400D3;
    border: 2px solid #F7FFEF !important;
    font-size: 1px;
    height: 19px;
    left: 0;
    line-height: 19px;	
    width:95% !important;
}

All of the above should be added here. I took all of the CSS from The Promised Neverland wiki and I changed the colors to various hues of violet and purple. If you are not satisfied with the colors you can tell me, I'll change them.

Hope this helps~ I am still a new fan of this anime/light novel so it would be a while for me to actually edit the articles once I am more familar with the series.

I like them! I want to change the colors though, so they match the wikis format better, but I think I'll be able to do it myself. Thanks a lot for helping out! :)

Welcome~

Oops, one last thing I forgot to tell you:

For the link preview one, the following code need to be added into this page in order for the one I sent you yesterday to work.

dev:LinkPreview/code.js

Additionally, here are a few more CSS/JS I recommend:
Add the following into ImportJS, you can check here, it's a useful feature.

dev:ReferencePopups/code.js

Add this and you can add guidelines/rules for users who want to comment on articles, then create this to add guidelines if you wish. For more info you can visit my wiki for reference. This would allow the people in the comment section to stay civil.

dev:CommentGuidelines/code.js

Links will glow if users hover their cursor to any of them:

/** Link glow **/
a:hover {
	text-shadow: purple 0 0 3px;
        color: #FFFFFF !important;
	text-decoration:gold;
	-webkit-transition: all .4s linear 0s;
	-moz-transition: all .4s linear 0s;
	-ms-transition: all .4s linear 0s;
	-o-transition: all .4s linear 0s;
	transition: all .4s linear 0s;
}

If one uses his/her cursor to highlight any text, the text highlighted will not be the default color dark blue but a customized one. So following the theme color of Violet Evergarden wiki, it will be purple:

/* Highlighting Text */
::selection {color: white; background: purple;}
::-moz-selection {color: white; background: purple;}

When one visit the home page, the logo will be animated, here's an example, look at the wiki's top left logo when you enter its home page.

/* Logo Animation */
@keyframes ngnl-zero-animation {
    0% {
        filter: drop-shadow(0px 0 20px white) drop-shadow(0px 0 20px white) drop-shadow(0px 0 20px purple) drop-shadow(0px 0 30px purple);
        opacity: 0;
        transform: scale(.9);
    }
    25% {
        filter: drop-shadow(0px 0 20px white) drop-shadow(0px 0 20px white) drop-shadow(0px 0 20px violet) drop-shadow(0px 0 20px violet);
    }
    70% {
        filter: drop-shadow(0px 0 20px white) drop-shadow(0px 0 20px white) drop-shadow(0px 0 20px purple) drop-shadow(0px 0 20px purple);
        opacity: 1;
    }
    90% {
        filter: none;
    }
    100% {
        transform: scale(1);
    }
}
.page-Violet_Evergarden_Wiki .wds-community-header__wordmark {
    animation: ngnl-zero-animation 3s linear 0s 1 normal forwards;
}

There are a lot more CSS features I wish to share. But I felt that if I do, you might find it annoying since sharing all of them will result in this message thread to be too lengthy haha. Nevertheless, I am looking forward to your reply on this.

I like all of these features. But I think it's enough with CSS features for now, you have shared a lot so I appreciate it though. Thanks once again!

Hi!

I'm afraid to say that this anime already has a discord server, a fairly large one on top of that. But thanks for the offer, anyways!
