Hey Ches, I don't meet the requirements to request beuracracy, but you do, so you need to follow the instructions in the link below.

http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Adoption_requests

Okay, I put the stuff through, so do I just wait or what? Chesknight (talk) 20:14, April 12, 2014 (UTC)

I assume so, just wait until they give you an answer. TheTopToon (talk) 20:18, April 12, 2014 (UTC)

Request
Hey, Ches. I'm Fireworks, the guy who resurrected the wiki when it was dead a year ago. I saw how you requested adminship here, and I'm wondering, if you're accepted, if I could get promoted to admin by you as well? Because the wiki has a pretty big, active community and it'll need more than one admin managing it. Fireworks888 (talk) 23:39, April 16, 2014 (UTC)

Greetings Fireworks, nice to meet you. I'm not entirely sure if I can promote you to admin. Not because I don't want to, but because I'm not sure if I'll be able to. As I told TopToon, I'm still new to the whole administration thing, so I'm unsure of it. What I'd suggest that you do is just keep making some good edits around the wiki (not stupid ones like when people say that Tails actually has "bombs shaped like your mother"), add some pictures to some articles (but if it's the thumbnail, there certain things that I don't think you should change (you can ask me about that if you feel like it)) and maybe edit your profile page a bit if you want to. That way you can give a good report if you request to become one. Sorry for my lack of knowledge, but I wish you good luck. (Also, thanks for resurrecting the wiki) Chesknight (talk) 18:22, April 17, 2014 (UTC)

I looked at your slideshow, though I think out of those five, I liked your idea of Pit vs. Sora the most.

Oh, forgot to leave my signature on your talk page section, but it is Maxevil (me) that let you know that I liked Pit vs. Sora.Maxevil (talk) 05:41, May 11, 2014 (UTC)

Just Letting you know
Godzilla was hinted after Fulgore VS Sektor so I don't want you to delete his page and all that.

I knew it was Godzilla, so I wasn't planning on deleting it. I'm just saiyan. Chesknight (talk) 15:47, May 17, 2014 (UTC)

Wily's Robot Master and Eggman's Badniks
I think since we given Bass and Metal Sonic pages why not the other Robot Masters and Badniks that we in it, just saying

Sure. I'll do the Badniks I guess. But let's not give them individual articles though. I don't think we to spread it that much. Also, I know that's you Dragonblood. Chesknight (talk) 16:35, May 24, 2014 (UTC)

Maxevil
You got an awesome gallery of Death Battle combatants to be, I should do the same thing myself using most of the combatants you were probably aware of, other than that it is an awesomer gallery.Maxevil (talk) 01:25, May 26, 2014 (UTC)

Just out of curiosity, Chesknight, what combatants (winner and/or loser) did you want to return for different Death Battle episodes?Maxevil (talk) 06:05, June 1, 2014 (UTC)

Well I'd like to see Samus Aran VS Master Cheif, Sonic the Hedgehog VS Rainbow Dash and Fox McCloud VS Tails the Fox for starters. I'd also like to see Ryu Hayabusa fight some Naruto ninja and Blanka. Chesknight (talk) 21:54, June 2, 2014 (UTC)

Nkstjoa
I understand that there aren't exactly any admins or head-of users on this Wiki, but I wanted to discuss a category and some trivia that I don't see the use of:

The fanboys rage on about category, as well as the few "this is one of 7 episodes that fanboys rage on..." in the trivia of some episodes.

Now I would personally prefer not having them. Besides me finding them pointless because after all, just about every single episode has ticked off someone, I don't find saying, "some [insert series] fanboys acted out, thus, the entire fanbase must act like this and should be treated in the same manner" makes the situation any better. I feel that we should have all the episodes and outcomes be in a neutral light.

Now I won't remove anything, but this is all just my personal opinion on the subject.

Nkstjoa (talk) 10:15, June 1, 2014 (UTC)

First off, thank you for coming to me about this. It feels good to know I'm appreciated.

On to the subject, this category is made for the more imfamous battles, the ones that are most noticeable when looking for the goddamn fanboys. Basically we're not gonna be like "One person thought Bucky O'Hare should have won. INTO THE FIGHTS PEOPLE B*TCH ABOUT YOU GO!" The category is just meant to represent the battles that get the most rage and hate, not for dissing the fanbases. In other words, it's not there to offend people, just to represent which fights have the most whiners. O.K? Chesknight (talk) 21:54, June 2, 2014 (UTC)

Thanks. I appreciate the response.

Yeah, I kinda blew it out of proportion. My bad.

Anyway, moving to a different topic... actually two.

1. Would a page based on the Death Battle Q&A's be a good idea? Though chances are it would just be asking for people to mistake it as a page where they can ask the Death Battle team questions.

2. Basing this on what the PlayStation All-Stars Wiki did in the past, you, me, or another user here could post a user blog called the Official Death Battle Wiki Wishlist, where people can comment the battles they want to see, and those with the most can be featured. I'm sure we'll get plenty of rematch requests, but otherwise it could lead to some interesting match ideas, and it could get the community involved.

Either of these two ideas sound good? Nkstjoa (talk) 22:55, June 2, 2014 (UTC)

1. I'm not 100% sure about the Q&A idea. A lot of those questions were just "What's going on with you guys and Youtube", "What were your favourite fights", "What made your w**ner move more", etc. Basically it's not the most important of stuff, so I personally wouldn't make one.

2. Yeah I feel like that would be a good idea. This place needs more community anyways. You know we're not that good when only one or two people have complained about Goku VS Superman. But I think we'd have to keep it down a bit, put in a rule like "No more than 5 requests per user at a time".

Also, what exactly do you mean by featured? Making a new blog for people to vote on the winner?Chesknight (talk) 00:04, June 3, 2014 (UTC)

By featured, I mean just simply listing them on the blog itself. They wouldn't be competing with each other; they'd just be there as the ones people want to see the most.

And I don't know who here has admin abilities, but then when it's finished, we can have a link to it on the Community tab so people can get to it easily, like the All-Stars Wiki did.

Nkstjoa (talk) 00:10, June 3, 2014 (UTC)

Theme Designer
I recently thought about us all making some minor modifications to the Wiki, in particular the wordmark (thing that says Death Battle Wiki). Anyway, to flair it up, I came up with an image for it, but seeing as how none of us are at a high-enough status to use the theme designer except for the founder himself, I was wondering if there's anything that we can do about it or if we're stumped. Nkstjoa (talk) 07:02, June 9, 2014 (UTC)

Well, I suppose I could try to request adminship again. But I would need to get enough support for it before I can ask. So I'll make a blog about it later maybe, try to get some support and then we'll see what happens.Chesknight (talk) 10:51, June 9, 2014 (UTC)

You have my vote. And maybe we can also vote on Death Battle combatants for the badges.

Nkstjoa (talk) 11:17, June 9, 2014 (UTC)

You know Nkstjoa, That logo you gave to this wiki looks amazing, but I was hoping that the word 'Wiki' would be in a bloody design considering that Death Battle does show bloodvcoming from combatants. Just a thought though.Maxevil (talk) 22:08, June 9, 2014 (UTC)

Well to be fair Max, he's using paint to make these pictures so there it would be kind of difficult to do.Chesknight (talk) 23:48, June 9, 2014 (UTC)

That's okay, because like I said, it's just a thought.Maxevil (talk) 01:50, June 10, 2014 (UTC)



Wishlist on Home Page
With your permission, I was wondering if I could post a link to the Official Wiki Death Battle Wishlist onto the Home page of the Wiki for the time being until you're admin.

Nkstjoa (talk) 06:04, June 13, 2014 (UTC)

Chesknight, I think Nkstjoa, has a bright idea myself. I would permit him to do that if I were you.Maxevil (talk) 06:15, June 13, 2014 (UTC)

You can do that. It will make people want to check it out and leave more suggestions.


 * Chesknight (talk) 10:36, June 13, 2014 (UTC)

It is done. I also went ahead and added a link to your admin blog, so hopefully you'll get more votes in.

Nkstjoa (talk) 11:49, June 13, 2014 (UTC)

Need the Support
It's been a week and only two people (myself included) have voted.

Do you think we should keep waiting for more people to join or make another blog?

Nkstjoa (talk) 15:24, June 17, 2014 (UTC)

I'd rather just wait. I'm willing to wait to become an admin. Besides, we're still managing without one for the time being.Chesknight (talk) 15:26, June 17, 2014 (UTC)

Couple Ideas
I have a few ideas, which I'll break up into three groups:

1. You may have seen it on Hayabusa vs. Strider and Shao Kahn vs. M. Bison, but I've added musical cues, as well as the name of the song played. I think that would be awesome since some people, myself included, have sometimes wanted to find out what the specific songs are.

2. Category ideas for characters involving sprite models (names pending): 3. This'll have to wait until you're admin, but for the badges, we can have them be based on Death Battle combatants. I'd think it would be cool to have most of them based on the two combatants in a single episode, as opposed to just, say, the victors. And just a thought, but the platinum badge for someone going on for 365 days straight could be Alien Savior with Goku and Superman. Nkstjoa (talk) 19:29, June 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * Character with professional sprite: those with sprites taken from actual games
 * Character with fan-made sprite: those with sprites created by fans (ex. Mugen sprites)

Responses to your ideas:

1. Okay I think that would work. Let's just hope combined we know all the songs that were used in all the fights.

2. I'm not really sure about that one, but you can go ahead and do it.

3. I like that idea. Deciding which characters get which badge could be difficult, but other than that it seems pretty good. Chesknight (talk) 17:56, June 22, 2014 (UTC)

Alrighty then. I'll put down any more music that I recognize, will do what I can for sprite and model categories, and I'll come up with a few more suggestions for badges. Nkstjoa (talk) 19:29, June 22, 2014 (UTC)

Templates
While doing my edits, I notice only a few Death Battle episode and combatant pages have templates.

Should we enforce them and spread them to every page or would you prefer we put the templates aside for now?

Nkstjoa (talk) 06:23, June 30, 2014 (UTC)

And kind of off-topic, yet on topic, should we have a spoiler policy? Like should we keep the spoiler-filled parts of the pages covered unless the person decides to look at it? Or are we better off showing it since people coming to this wiki have probably seen an episode or two? Nkstjoa (talk) 08:51, June 30, 2014 (UTC)

I don't think the templates are really nessecary since they're saying stuff we've already covered like the character's series, if they won, etc. The spoiler thing I don't really know about. I don't think we need one due to the rule we already put up on the homepage. Chesknight (talk) 15:32, June 30, 2014 (UTC)

A little something...


Here's a little something for you from me.

What do you think? Nkstjoa (talk) 19:01, July 5, 2014 (UTC)

DUDE. As of now, you are officially my favourite user on this wiki. (No offence to everyone else). Anyways I think I'll use this in my Pit analysis blog on Screwattack if you don't mind (I'll credit you of course)

Glad to hear you like it. And go right on ahead with it on Screwattack. Nkstjoa (talk) 23:28, July 6, 2014 (UTC)

I've finally finished it up and posted it, so go check it out if you want to.

http://www.screwattack.com/news/death-analysis-skyworlds-multi-weapon-wielding-god-slaying-angelic-messanger-goddess-light

Chesknight (talk) 21:36, July 10, 2014 (UTC)

Hi, Chesknight, I read your Death Battle analysis on Pit at screwattack.com and thought that it was amazing, and was also looking forward to reading the analysis on Sora, either way on wether you do or don't fr Sora, I would place my bets that Pit would win because I'm more of a Nintendo fan than a PS fan (despite Kingdom Hearts having some games for Nintendo's potable consoles), plus the weapons that I tried getting altogether in my head, and personally, even if she won't be in Pit's fight, it would be the 'loverly' Lady Palutena; I hope you keep up the good work. Maxevil (talk) 22:30, July 10, 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for compliments Max. I would like to do a Death Analysis on Sora, but I've honestly only played one Kingdom Hearts game (Dream Drop Distance) and for things like these you can't solely rely on wiki pages.

Anyways, isn't that wanting Pit to win, not thinking that he'll win? I'm a big fan of the two of them but I see this one going to Sora. His magic doesn't run out if uses like Pit's, has arguably the better weapon (assuming he gets the Ultima Weapon keyblade and Pit only gets the Palutena Bow) and the biggest thing, Sora relies on outside help a lot less than Pit.

Chesknight (talk) 23:28, July 10, 2014 (UTC)

Okay, even though your bet (as well as your dream Death Battle) would come true, and even the score of Video Game swordsmen between Nintendo (like Link and Pit) and Final Fantasy (like Cloud Strife and Sora, and half of the Kingdom Hearts majority is part of the Final Fantasy world), at least Pit has someone that makes me appreciate him for at least bit, his deity for a foster mother: Lady Palutena. (Just kidding about the foster mother part, though, but still)Maxevil (talk) 00:41, July 11, 2014 (UTC)

Two things:

1. Nice job on your blog. And if you or anyone here would like tips on how to make the fake thumbnails, I'd be happy to show everyone the steps.

2. For the community suggestion poll, I have a suggestion that we can do from time to time that would mix things up from the usual "[Character A] vs. [Character B]". We can do something like, "Which character would you like to see fight [Character A]?" (ex. Ryu, Vergil, etc.).

And just throwing this out there, but another question I've been tempted to throw out there is "If James Bond was in a Death Battle, which version of him would you like to see?"

For now, I'll leave it to you or Maxevil to come up with the next poll. I'm anticipating it.

Nkstjoa (talk) 02:02, July 11, 2014 (UTC)

Well, Nkstjoa, to answer the James Bond question, I would go for the version from the very first 007 movies, if that counts asan answer to your James Bond question, that is, which I hope it is.Maxevil (talk) 02:23, July 11, 2014 (UTC)

Well Maxevil, I was thinking of there being four answers to the Bond question: The Original Bond (1953-2004), The Modern Bond (2006-present), Why not both?, and I DON'T CARE WHICH! I JUST WANT A BOND!

And Chesknight, since you know way more about Pit than I do, how would you like to add to Pit's page on the Death Battle Fanon Wiki? Nkstjoa (talk) 06:33, July 11, 2014 (UTC)

Sorry I was sleeping there. Anyways I like the idea of a third poll for "who should (A) fight?". Community is always good.

For the James Bond thing though, it's a good idea but here's my problem. What Death Battle normally does for characters is make a composite of them if the two or more versions are similar enough. An example this is Tails. They brought in more than just his stuff from the games, we also saw some stuff from the cartoons and comics because it's essentially the same character. A time where they didn't do a composite is with He-Man and Lion-O. They both have cartoons other than their '80s but they only used those versions because the 2002 He-Man and 2011 Lion-O were completely different characters. So in order for that poll to work, we could only use characters who's different versions are similar enough to make a composite.

Also I might add Pit to the Death Battle Fanon Wiki. I dunno. Chesknight (talk) 09:30, July 11, 2014 (UTC)

One idea I had was "Who would you like Ryu to fight in Death Battle?" His choices: Scorpion, Liu Kang, and Jin Kazama. But that's just my idea, so you guys feel free to share yours.

So on the James Bond note, if we were ever to post a poll on him, we should remove the Why not both? answer since both are radically different?

Please do Chesknight. It's boring on the Fanon Wiki without anyone around. And feel free to join in if you'd like Maxevil.

Nkstjoa (talk) 22:55, July 11, 2014 (UTC)

My first idea for the Fanon Wiki would be a Despicable Minion, which means I would also add in details from Minion Rush to the Death Battle info of the Despicable Minion, same thing for Mickey Mouse, but with his cartoon adventures, the Kingdom Hearts series, and even Epic Mickey's 1 and 2. Just my ideas for the Fanon Wiki, though.Maxevil (talk) 03:43, July 12, 2014 (UTC)

If you think Tails Can beat Luigi. Then I'll Accomadate you on that

14:56, July 13, 2014 (UTC)

Well Maxevil, you're more than free to add pages for your combatants and What-If? Death Battles. Just be sure to check and see if any that you want aren't already on there.

And I went ahead with adding the James Bond poll. Nkstjoa (talk) 22:24, July 13, 2014 (UTC)

Do you guys think we should have four polls up on the homepage? One for the upcoming fights, one for the community suggestion of the week, one for "who should (insert character here) fight? A, B, C or other?" and then the one for "which version would you like to see?" Chesknight (talk) 00:29, July 20, 2014 (UTC)

Your call Chesknight. I'm up for it. Nkstjoa (talk) 01:12, July 20, 2014 (UTC)

Well this is sort of a team project between the two of us Nkstjoa (the wishlist I mean), so I thought I should have your input. So far we've done Deadpool VS Deathstroke, Pit VS Sora and Lora Croft VS Nathan Drake for the fights right? I think I know which characters I'll pick for the polls. Chesknight (talk) 01:19, July 20, 2014 (UTC)

Sounds good, but I think we ought to hold off on character versions, at least for a while. Bond was the only idea I had. Nkstjoa (talk) 02:12, July 20, 2014 (UTC)

Two things:

1. Strange glitch going on with the Zangief page. For some reason, he doesn't appear in any categories and none of the categories he's in are listed on the page. Don't know what the issue is, since the code for the categories are there in his page, so just so you know.

2. Poll question idea: two Marvel vs. DC battles I'd like to see are Lex Luthor vs. Iron Man and Deadpool vs. Deathstroke. Now as of now, no DC comics (or Warner Bros for that matter) characters have beaten a Marvel character and I have an interesting question:

Q: Can DC Comics win either Lex Luthor vs. Iron Man or Deadpool vs. Deathstroke?

DC Comics wins Lex Luthor vs. Iron Man

DC Comics wins Deadpool vs. Deathstroke

DC Comics wins both

DC Comics wins neither

Just a thought. Nkstjoa (talk) 09:27, July 25, 2014 (UTC)

1. I wouldn't worry too much about the Zangief page. We had the same glitch on Leonardo page but it kinda worked itself out. 2. That seems like a good idea, but let's just wait until it comes time to switch up the other community polls, then we'll put in that one Chesknight (talk) 12:53, July 25, 2014 (UTC)

Here's two more fake thumbnails for you. Nkstjoa (talk) 11:36, July 27, 2014 (UTC)



Awesome again! You should really make a tutorial blog on how to make these. I'm sure there are other people besides me who would like to make these, and you said that you just used Paint, right? (Which I'm pretty sure everyone has) Chesknight (talk) 13:58, July 27, 2014 (UTC)

I was just thinking about that. Once I figure out how I'll show the steps, I'll post it right away. Nkstjoa (talk) 21:19, July 27, 2014 (UTC)

It is done. Check it out! Nkstjoa (talk) 19:52, July 30, 2014 (UTC)

Link to Death Battle Wiki Forum
Recently took a look at the forums on the Death Battle Wiki and it has the new Forum format. Now since the forum here is basic and none of us here know how to update it and the Fanon Wiki's forum is updated, but completely empty, how does having a link to the forums on the main page sound?

That way, we can all have discussions that don't fill up the character and Death Battle pages.

Check it out: http://deathbattlefanon.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Forum

Nkstjoa (talk) 04:24, July 17, 2014 (UTC)

It's been a week, so what do you think? Nkstjoa (talk) 05:16, July 26, 2014 (UTC)

0 threads, 0 posts. Ssiigghh.... -_- Chesknight (talk) 13:11, July 26, 2014 (UTC)

I know, right? The founder of the Fanon Wiki went through the trouble of getting the updated forum style, yet that Wiki is completely barren save for you, Maxevil and I.

The forums on that Wiki would be great, since everything's already set up. Then we can have less "They should do [insert What-If? Death Battle]" or "They were wrong about [insert Death Battle]" comments filling up the comments on Death Battle pages. Nkstjoa (talk) 22:01, July 26, 2014 (UTC)

I'd probably be doing more work over there (mostly on Pit VS Sora) if it weren't for the "NOE MAKEING FITES" rule. Writing a Death Battle sounds really cool, but we're not allowed to... Chesknight (talk) 22:19, July 26, 2014 (UTC)

I know this is a bit late, but honestly, you're free to give writing a Death Battle... battle a shot if you'd like.

And just so you know, I don't have Other Possible Outcome there for pleasing fanboys; just in case there's anything I overlooked. Nkstjoa (talk) 03:32, August 7, 2014 (UTC)

Yeah, that's something I kind of don't like... Anyone could come along and be like "Oh, no. Instead of throwing a psychic knife, Silver lets Mewtwo hit him." but I suppose I'll at least try making some introductions so...Chesknight (talk) 14:54, August 7, 2014 (UTC)

I'm surprised that I never thought about it until now, but there is a way we can have multiple versions of the battle on one page.

Just before you post the introduction to your fight, put your name in front of it to indicate that it's your version of the battle.

Hope that helps. Nkstjoa (talk) 00:21, August 8, 2014 (UTC)

I suppose it should. Then there's just the matter of the post fight analysis. Chesknight (talk) 20:17, August 8, 2014 (UTC)

I suppose the post fight analysis is the one thing that we couldn't do on the Fanon Wiki, unless in a super rare case all parties were able to agree on which character was victorious.

Other than that, did you check out by how to on fake thumbnails? Was it alright? 96.229.2.81 00:49, August 9, 2014 (UTC)

I'm having a bit of trouble at some parts, but I'm steadily figuring it out. Chesknight (talk) 19:56, August 9, 2014 (UTC)

I just made a recent update to it with a better thumbnail picture for one-on-one battles that makes the rest of the work easier. Hope it helps. Nkstjoa (talk) 21:11, August 9, 2014 (UTC)

In case you want to add some more characters and Death Battles to the Fanon Wiki, Maxevil, DeathBattleMike and I have added a bunch more to it. Nkstjoa (talk) 07:14, August 16, 2014 (UTC)

About the Poll on the Main Page
My Apology. I didn't know, I should have asked before doing it. I thought anyone could add whatever polls every week. If you want, you can change it.

It's alright  if you didn't know. Just put your own suggestion in Nkstjoa's blog and I'll put it up when I think it's okay.Chesknight (talk) 01:24, August 3, 2014 (UTC)

Hope you don't mind, but I went ahead and put down a new Character Opponent Selection Poll based on Vergil.

Probably could've asked around for potential opponents, but I gave it my best shot. Nkstjoa (talk) 00:09, August 5, 2014 (UTC)

Seems pretty alright to me. I only had 4 options set up for Mega Man.Chesknight (talk) 00:51, August 5, 2014 (UTC)

I hope you don't mind, but I added Donkey Kong to your Bowser poll. Nkstjoa (talk) 21:08, August 11, 2014 (UTC)

May I make a Poll suggestions for next week? For the Community Fight Suggestion of the Week, how about Dante vs. Bayonetta and for the Character Opponent Suggestion Poll, The Hulk and these could be the choices on the poll. Broly (Dragon Ball Z), Doomsday (DC Comics), Juggernaut (Marvel Comics) and Asura (Asura's Wrath).

Alright to the both of you. Chesknight (talk) 22:01, August 11, 2014 (UTC)

Here's an idea for the character opponent suggestion poll: who should face Solid Snake?

I can't really think of anyone in particular that I'd really like to see him fight, so how about we all throw around some ideas? Nkstjoa (talk) 05:36, August 25, 2014 (UTC)

Do you think for this week that you guys could do my Bayonetta vs. Dante and The Hulk choices polls suggestions?

To Nkstjoa: While I do like the idea of Solid Snake, Sam Fisher is about as far as I can go when thinking up opponents.

To DeathBattleMike: Bayonetta VS Dante seems alright for this week. But I need some more opponent suggestions for the Hulk, probably only 1 or 2. So far I've got Asura and Broly. Chesknight (talk) 14:13, August 25, 2014 (UTC)

on there official facebook page due to HDD Choas the battle is postponed for a later date so it might not be the next battle

That actually makes sense. They said earlier on that they'd be having a female voice actor for the fight after Godzilla VS Gamera *cough cough* Toph *cough cough*. Chesknight (talk) 14:32, August 16, 2014 (UTC)
