Suggestions to combat spammers[edit]

Hey Sam, I was just thinking you could use SSL encryption on the login page. That might not take care of the problem completely but it will reduce the amount of spam. And in the Philippines and Indonesia make it such that only admins can edit temporarily Kash

You can also make it so that only mods can create new pages or something since the majority of spam comes from new pages being created. Also, I suggest India to be added on the "blocked" list for now. On other site, I've noticed, a lot of spam originate from India. I'll try to suggest more things and help out as much as I can. --Youri

India? Thats weird because I am from India and people hardly know about video games here so I sonder how they found out about this site. Kash

It's a weird thought, I know, but I'm guessing the spam originates from certain regions in India. They are known to do more telephone spam than internet, but it's still a thought. I'm from the United States and a lot of regional internet and telephone spam come from India sadly...
SSL encryption won't do anything, it's only available for protecting login credentials from man in the middle attacks. I'm see a mixture of new pages being created and existing pages being deleted for spam. I'm not convinced about making only mods able to create new pages as it introduces a fairly major block to extending anything on the wiki.
I'm thinking I might make you have a validated email address before you can make edits on protected pages, not just an account that has passed the captcha. That way if someone is going to spam then they have to sign up, pass the captcha, confirm their email address then edit the page. I'm hoping that this will be too many steps for them to bother.

TALK - 1 April 2011 (UTC)
I made this suggestion while Tekken-EX and I spoke of the annoyingly increasing spam on this site: I was going to suggest something like making a new website with the same content. As in copy / paste all the articles from here, make a new website EXACTLY like this one, and delete the old one being this site [if the plan does work and no spam appears within a week]. With Sam's new requirements added to the copy / new site, it should make spammers back down for a few months. I know that means erasing every user here, but if this suggestion is done, we should e-mail every mod about this so they can sign up for the new site. I really think the problem comes from virus that are on users' computers. Another thing is we probably have to tell every user editing this site to be very cautious on their computers and not get a single virus or erase temporary files almost every day. Told you it was sort of a silly suggestion...

Or you could just use the ConfirmEdit extention set to anything except "Simple Math". --Hecko 09:58, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

We're already running Recaptcha on signups. I'm wondering if it's been broken somehow recently. I'm going to implement ConfirmEdit with a question to name a tekken character, similar to the forums. Samuel 00:00, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
Ahh, interesting. Looks like Recaptcha has been broken which would explain the increase in spam. I'll add something more customised today. Samuel 00:01, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
Right, switched to a custom question captcha instead. It should be very easy to solve if you're a Tekken fan. If any more spamming occurs, please let me know and I'll start taking additional measures. Samuel 00:51, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
Haha, smart idea. Hopefully it works! --Tekken-EX 04:12, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

TALK - 20:55, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
Hmm....I just took a look at it. It is a good idea but I always keep getting the same question. Is there something wrong on my side or is there just one question? Because if spammers know the answer to the question they can make multiple accounts giving the same answer repeatedly.
The trouble is not the question but that the spammers use automated attacks from a bot net. Because they can automatically pass the ReCaptcha that's a problem, but they won't automatically be able to pass the question because it's unique. I am happy to add other questions if people have some suggestions. Samuel 23:05, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
It's pretty quiet without the spammers, you know... spamming. lol --Tekken-EX 13:43, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
Hey, User:KingErick2011(who seems to have a Gon fetish) vandalized some pages a few days ago. I don't think there has been any mods online, could you undo these?

Thanks, he's blocked. I've also promoted you to mod status. Samuel 21:51, 5 September 2011 (PDT)

lol oh, great. Thanks :D

Tekkenpedia in another language[edit]

If you start a wiki in Japanese, I can help edit / contribute since I've studied Japanese since middle school [I'm only 17, so about 6 years]. I can also understand Spanish and Italian, but I'll only proof read those articles since I don't speak them much anymore. Being multi-cultured is fun~ --Youri

Thank you. I'll be in touch soon about this :)
I plan to slowly contribute to the Japanese site. I'm more than half-way done with translating the Main Page [since I editted it on a PC at school], and when I'm done, I'll slowly contribute to other important pages. Anyways, on this English site, I've noticed that IP users are able to edit again meaning soon spam will show its face. There are already crazy edits taking place.
Good catch, I disabled some of the editing restrictions by mistake. I'll reinstate for all wikis today. I know I keep banging on about this, but the biggest help to me is to get the following five lines translated, if you could just write the translations underneath them then I can move ahead with creating notices on the English pages. Translating the main page will also be a big help. If you login to the Japanese site, you should be an admin on there and able to edit the front page directly. I'm happy for you to do that. EDIT: Looks like you're already doing that for the character of the month. That's a huge help for me, thanks! Samuel 16:31, 8 June 2011 (PDT)

What about the German language? Since I could help translate, as I master the German language.

Ok! I'll setup a German version in the next couple of days and let you know when it's ready. Samuel 05:43, 10 June 2011 (PDT)

User lists[edit]

There are two user lists, Tekkenpedia:Staff and Tekkenpedia English:Staff. The second one is outdated, so, do you still wanna keep it or can it be deleted or redirected?

Remove the outdated one. Samuel 11:05, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

What in the world[edit]

I just found these pages in the recent changes. Healthy Weight Loss Show, Idaho Weight Loss Clinic, Diet Salt Reduce, Healthy Weight Loss For Adults. May I ask you a question? How much have the spammers increased since last month?

The accounts that created these pages have been deleted. It would be better if these pages were deleted as well. The above post was me. Kash

The pages have been deleted. Spamming had increased hence why all edits to the site now require a validated email address. If spamming continues despite of this then additional measures will be implemented. Samuel 22:08, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

Oh. I see, I hope the spammers go away.

Katsuhiro Harada[edit]

Should I create a page for Katsuhiro Harada??

Kash - Nobody is perfect. I'm a nobody.
TALK - 20:33, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
Well, this site is about the games so I would say no. But on the other hand, fans consider Harada as a source of information for the next installment so users could get some info on his Facebook and Twitter accounts. Let's just wait for Samuel's reply.
Hmm. I feel like if we have to add his page, we have to add pages for Namco, other people involved in the project. I'll throw this out a bit wider, anyone else have some thoughts? Samuel 23:02, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
I think it's vital since there isn't really much to find about him on the Internet.

www.tekkenzone.net 16:14, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
Hmm. I think just linking to wikipedia will do a better job of explaining who Harada is and who Namco are. I created Tekkenpedia because their was no way character pages, like the way they are now, could exist on the Wikipedia. I don't see any problem with the Harada or Namco pages though.
So in summary, if theirs content we want to put on the Namco/Harada page that we can't already put on Wikipedia, lets create them, otherwise link to Wikipedia. Samuel 22:37, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

Street fighter pages[edit]

Do you agree with the idea of having pages for confirmed SF x T characters? (Ryu,Chun-Li,Ken etc.)

Only if they actually have a confirmed story in the Tekken universe. We run the risk of this turning into a general fighting game character wiki. If we add Ryu, does that mean we also add any characters that he's fought in crossovers like Marvel Vs. Capcom? etc Samuel 22:45, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

I agree, we just have to wait and see how the story turns out.

Thanks[edit]

A page has just been created for Namco by the user Crasher as well as an infobox for company. Should it still be there or do you want to delete it?
Should be removed for now. Samuel 22:38, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

Scenario camapaign dialogues[edit]

Hey there! :) I'm pretty much new in editing these kind of articles (I'm used to editing sitcoms and shows) I was wondering If there should be a page showing scenario campaign dialogues, it doesn't have to show the screenshots, I know it's a little awkward asking but I usually ask an admin's permission before making a page.

Create them, by all means. Samuel 22:34, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

Uploading Photos[edit]

There are a few issues I'd like to discuss:

First, when clicking a recent uploaded photo [from the past 2 days] to the file link, there is some error message instead of the photo itself. I don't know if that's just for my computer, but I tested it on older photos and they seem to work fine. I mostly took care of that problem by uploading newer versions of the files which seem to also work fine after I replaced them. I just wanted to bring that to your attention in case another error like that happens in the future.

Secondly, when users upload photos from a different site, I notice that some users don't bother with renaming the photos and it ends up in non-sense / gibberish making it hard to place that photo on another page for mobile users like me without copy / paste. I think this site should have certain rules when uploading photos from other sites like crediting the site they found the photo and giving the uploaded photo a specific name [like the video game it came from, character(s) on the photo, what is happening in the photo, etc.].

Sorry for intruding, I just like sharing ideas and such. -- Youri

Not sure about the first problem. I need to upgrade this version of MediaWiki to the latest version which might fix that. Secondly, rules about picture uploads would be good but it can be tricky to enforce them. TBH, I'm not too concerned with filenames as you can attach metadata to the uploaded image anyway. JunKazamaFan has some good examples of this with his uploads. Samuel 11:19, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
Hello. While I'm busy translating for your Japanese wiki [I'm still not on a good enough PC to put my translations up], I also still do edits here. Anyways, I've noticed that there's no longer a link to upload any photos on the site [unless I'm missing something]. Could you inform me where the link to uploading a file is if it still exists? -- Youri
Disabled it by mistake. Enabled now. Samuel 02:39, 27 June 2011 (PDT)

Soulpedia[edit]

What's up with Soulpedia? It has been the same since a long time.--Kash17:59, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

TALK - 13:06, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
I can see that. I went there for the first time a week back.
Well it never really caught on like the Tekkenpedia did, same with the other sites I started for Virtua Fighter and Martial Arts. At one point I had visions for a wiki farm much like Wikia has but I've pretty much given that up to run my knowyourgenre website instead. I'll always run the Tekkenpedia as the advertising income matches pretty much exactly the hosting costs of the site and it's fairly self policing which is good. The other sites are likely to expire when their domain registrations run out unless anyone else wants to take over the domain name and hosting. Samuel 06:58, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

Ah, shame, I had some good memories with that place, populating it with articles. TekkenMishimaForce 16:46, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

Jaycee[edit]

I found out her backstory,

http://www.godisageek.com/2011/06/e3-tekken-tag-tournament-2-exclusive-details-series-preview/

Sorry to say that probably won't have time to visit thesite, I've been prepping up for college for the past few weeks, that may be a suiable excuse from my absence. I'm really sorry about the pictures though, I downloaded most of those pics from a very long time ago, but most of them are from fightersgeneration.com, I tried to undo the uploads by simply reuploading most of the pictures to try replace the links (if i find them again) on the comments section but sadly I don't know how, for some reason when I try to reupload it won't let me add or edit the comments section. I'm truly sorry for the inconvenience (This totally sounded like a business letter sorry about that)

I'm not done yet ![edit]

This is superproxy24, well I'm surprised you made the filipino site go live though, kind of hoping you'll give it a few more days for me to edit :). Anyway I'm having a problem with editing, when I try to translate a link, it doesn't work, and when I work with the "profiles" of the characters the translations won't show... Do I have to translate that link first before editing or something?

You should just be able to edit a page and translate part of it, then click save. The front page you won't be able to edit because you don't have admin privileges, if you want to edit that page then let me know. Samuel 04:51, 27 June 2011 (PDT)
I really am, in all honesty, interested to be an admin, but i don't think I can update the site as much as i want. As I said before, I'm in my first year of college, and they all say studies first though. So I guess what I'm trying to sya is can I still be an admin even If I only update like twice a week? - still superproxy
Don't feel like you need to make constant updates on it, I'm more concerned with someone keeping an eye on spammers etc showing up on the site. I'll make you an admin, actually, if you could have a good at translating the front page first, that would be great! Samuel 16:45, 28 June 2011 (PDT)

Tekkenpedia Forum[edit]

Um, Samuel... just wondering... do the Tekkenpedia Forums still exist or have they been taken down? --Tekken-EX 01:04, 28 June 2011 (PDT)

I've got the database still but I took them down because TekkenNation and other places were doing a much better job of running the forums. I wanted to concentrate on the wiki side of it. Samuel 03:27, 28 June 2011 (PDT)
Oh, okay then. Thanks! :) --Tekken-EX 22:45, 28 June 2011 (PDT)

Looks like I clobbered that page by accident when I was setting up the Filipino version. I've removed the redirect but the history of the page seems to have vanished which is strange. So fair theirs:

...For fixing that log in error I had. I was a little lonely without this site for the past 2 or so weeks. Oh, and I might even be able to focus more on Japanese Tekkenpedia after this week since I finally have my own personal laptop to edit / translate stuff. Any news on the status of that site? --Youri Kamachii

Sites still there but it's not getting many edits. Plenty of traffic but not too many people getting on board with it. If you could look at translating some more then that would be ace, it's pretty boring work though I'd imagine. I wonder if I should pay someone to help out with the translations? Samuel 22:35, 23 September 2011 (PDT)

Main Page[edit]

Hey Samual. I've been toying around with the main page. Thought it might look a little tidier if the character of the month was smaller and only used head-shots. I also added a "Tekken News" section as I think a lot more people might visit more often if they were also getting news updates. It's just an example. Let me know what you think.User:Skikes/MainPage --Skikes 15:18, 11 October 2011 (PDT)

Hamachi (talk) 12:16, 31 January 2013 (CET)

Still haven't done it. I've been setting up more stuff on this server + freelancing work. Will get that template soon. Of course, I'd love to hear your feedback. You guys shape the direction of this site :) Samuel (talk) 22:04, 31 January 2013 (CET)

Oh, big thanks to you, here the atmosphere is not what Wikipedia, is more friendly. Okay.
1 - Create three navigation template's: for characters, for games and the rest (Films, Comics, Anime и т.п.)

Yep, that sounds good. It will make it easier to keep reading when you get to the bottom of the page.

2 - Creation and promotion of foreign versions TekkenPedia. I would also like to propose the creation of Russian TekkenPedia, I myself there to translate articles. And creating interwiki on articles.

I did try this about two or three years ago. The problem was that even though I had people that wanted to do the translations, and I even paid for some translations, the sites never got much traction. I would even detect someones language and try to redirect them to the new site. I think for now, I'm going to leave the language translations for a bit.

3 - Create articles about developers to Tekken.

You mean the programmers? I'm happy to do that. We could do an article on Katsuhiro Harada for example. I'm happy with that.

4 - Improve the stupid (sorry) captcha. When I reply to the question "Who is the father of Jin" and write "Kazuya Mishima" writing it I would not give to make corrections.

Yes, I realised I had the wrong answer in there now. It is now "who is the father of Kazuya". Haha, my mistake. If you've got some other questions you'd like to add to the mix, I'm happy to put them in.

Ok, this is all. Although I could forget something.
Hamachi (talk) 16:05, 1 February 2013 (CET)

Thank you for answering my questions.
1 - Yes. I would and he made ​​templates, but I'm not good at wiki markup.
2 - But it is still possible later, you create the russian version? I'm not the only one going to work on it.
3 - Yes. As a source for articles, you can use Tekken Takes Tokyo, there are many interviews with the developers and Katsuhiro Harada.
4 - Okay.
Hamachi (talk) 04:21, 2 February 2013 (CET)

I had a quick poke around the template on Wikipedia but I think it's relying on a few plugins that I don't have. I'll try and get something up and running at least for navigation. Samuel (talk)

Infobox[edit]

Can you teach me how to use the infobox for my user page please? --Devilster910 (talk) 20:27, 13 April 2013 (CEST)

Tekken Players[edit]

This might be a weird question, but do you personally know any arcade players from Australia, Samuel. Toilethead101 21:45 April 25 2013 (PHT)

i used to play quite a bit in Melbourne and know a few of the guys there, but I haven't been involved in the arcade scene since Tekken 5: DR. I also run tekken.org.au which has a few people on it now and again. The arcade scene is pretty dead though I think. Samuel (talk) 09:10, 28 April 2013 (CEST)
Oh ok, but do you have friends that still play in arcades (or at least, do you have their usernames). Toilethead101 16:57 April 28 2013
I could reach out to a few people. Are you in Melbourne? Samuel (talk) 13:28, 28 April 2013 (CEST)
Lol, I'm actually all the way in the Philippines. For some reason the team I'm in has Australian players and my leader's finding a way to add them in a facebook group or something. I was hoping you'd know a few of them, but then as it turns out none of them are actually in Melbourne. Toilethead101 22:24 April 28 2013 (PHT)
Ooh. Well Melbourne had an interesting mix of players. A few New Zealanders (me and another guy called Jake) lots of local Aussies and quite a few korean players (who generally dominated :) ). They do have a facebook group here but I'm not sure what it is as I don't have Facebook :(. You might be about to search for it though. Samuel (talk) 00:34, 1 May 2013 (CEST)

Yes for russian TekkenPedia?[edit]

So I can start translating articles for the Russian TekkenPedia? You do not mind it is created? I'll work on it!
Hamachi (talk) 18:28, 11 May 2013 (CEST)

Last time people expressed an interest I spent weeks setting the wiki up to support multiple languages and nobody bothered to do any work on it, I'm not really interested in repeating that experience. I'll tell you what, if you translate the following page to Russian:

Jin_Russian

Then I'll create the Russian version of the site. If you feel like it's taking a long time, there is about 100x more pages that need to be translated after that one...

  • Okay, I will translate articles for personal space, and when translated, I will write to you, and you will create a Russian version, ok? I just create one administrator there, that I could edit the main page, ok?
Hamachi (talk) 14:14, 14 May 2013 (CEST)
  • I started to translate. And the question, my friend Kirill (from Wikipedia) wants to help me with the translation, but he can not join because the IP address has been blocked. Its IP 173.245.51.177. You can follow any responses to do something, so he could check?
Hamachi (talk) 17:09, 14 May 2013 (CEST)
You only need to translate one page for now, don't do all of them! I just want to see if you're going to stick with it. Samuel (talk) 05:39, 15 May 2013 (CEST)
I'll look into the IP issue as well. Is it possible his computer has malware on it? Samuel (talk) 05:39, 15 May 2013 (CEST)
Can you get him to try and access the site, and leave me a message after passing the captcha? It looks like his computer has malware or is part of a botnet. Samuel (talk) 05:41, 15 May 2013 (CEST)
  • 1: Why do not need to translate all the articles at once? I initially thought it would be easier to translate all the articles, and then insert them into the russian version.

2 and 3: Ok, I'll ask him about it.

Hamachi (talk) 15:59, 15 May 2013 (CEST)
Well, I mean, I'm not going to stop you from doing it, but I wanted to see you just translate one article first so I could get a native Russian speaker here in Melbourne to take a look at the quality of it. I also wanted to see how interested you were in actually following through with doing the work or if you'd stop halfway through. Samuel (talk) 04:44, 16 May 2013 (CEST)
  • It is clear, but I just wanted to initially translate all the main articles, and then moved to the encyclopedia. Wow, there are Russian in Melbourne? And I will work, but can sometimes disappear (if I get sick or something. Example in a week I have exams in Russian language and algebra.) Then I will translate articles about Yoshimitsu and Sebastian.

  • Question: Are you familiar with people who have a European version of TTT2? Just as a reference to the description of the characters endings, ending with English subtitles, wishing to Russian versions were references to the ending with Russian subtitles. I'm can not record video, I don't have special device.
Hamachi (talk) 09:03, 18 May 2013 (CEST)
  • All I almost translated an article about Sebastian. It remains only to insert the official translation of quotations from TTT2.
Hamachi (talk) 16:14, 20 May 2013 (CEST)
Ok cool. I'll start putting some code in place for running the Russian version then. As I don't speak Russian, you'll have to run and admin the entire site, is that ok? What I think the best thing to do is, place links on each of the pages that have been translated with a "Read in Russian" link to the same page on the RU version. Samuel (talk) 06:04, 21 May 2013 (CEST)
Yes, I will be the administrator, and how differently I could edit the main page Russian version? You want to make a semblance of interwiki as in Wikipedia?
Hamachi (talk) 15:59, 22 May 2013 (CEST)
As different as you like I guess, if you feel the need to change things around. I'd like to keep the same logo between the sites, perhaps we could translate "Tekkenpedia" under it to Russian. Samuel (talk) 01:27, 23 May 2013 (CEST)
That is to say you want the logo instead of "Tekkenpedia" - "Теккенпедия"? This can be done, but I do not have normal editor, only paint.
Hamachi (talk) 17:06, 23 May 2013 (CEST)
That's fine, I've got photoshop and can make it up with that translation Samuel (talk) 08:25, 24 May 2013 (CEST)
Ok, thanks. I want to warn you. Next week i'll be busy, will be exams.
Hamachi (talk) 14:21, 24 May 2013 (CEST)
Hello I'm back. How are you doing with the logo?
Hamachi (talk) 09:10, 8 June 2013 (CEST)
Hey still juggling a bit of dev ops stuff with the server, the new drive is slowly coming back up to speed. Will get to the logo when things quiet down, it should only take me a few minutes to do it. Samuel (talk) 01:29, 10 June 2013 (CEST)
Ok. Do you remember my friend Kirill, who had problems with registration? It still fails to register, can i create account for it?

Admin Request?[edit]

Hey, how can I be an admin? --Devil Beam of Death! (talk) 17:37, 15 May 2013 (CEST)

Contribute good content to the wiki, be nice to others and demonstrate a willingness to stick around. I.e. work on the wiki for a few months then ask me again :) If you want something to do, I'd really like to get animated gifs of each move for each character from Tekken 1 onwards. Samuel (talk) 04:43, 16 May 2013 (CEST)

ok, plus I've been here for 3 months so about 2 more months? --Devil Beam of Death! (talk) 20:49, 16 May 2013 (CEST)

Site[edit]

Where's the site moving to? Toilethead101 08:45 May 31 (PHT)

Hey hey, nowhere unless people want it to. Wikia contacted me asking me if I was interested so I thought I'd pass it back to the community to decide. Honestly, I wouldn't want to take it anywhere near them ;) Samuel (talk) 07:10, 31 May 2013 (CEST)
I personally don't like Wikia as it often takes long to load and has some bugs. Plus there is already a Tekken Wiki on Wikia. I'd prefer how Tekkenpedia is now: separate Wikipedia-style site. --Hello (talk) 23:58, 22 June 2013 (CEST)

I'm with you Hello, Anyway I cant go to Wikia, I'm banned. D: --Devil Beam of Death! (talk) 20:58, 22 July 2013 (CEST)

Tekken Revolution[edit]

New information about TR!!! This is a new Tekken, with new gameplay. Stage's will be from TTT2, and until eight characters: King II, Paul, Lili, Marshall, Asuka, Steve, Alisa and Lars. The game will be available on June 11 for download from the PSN (exclusive to PS3) and will be free-to-play. Teaser trailer.
Hamachi (talk) 15:28, 9 June 2013 (CEST)

Interesting, doesn't look like we have a page for it yet. I'll wait a bit to see if the community creates it otherwise I'll add it. Is it canon? I'll add a link from the homepage as well. Samuel (talk) 01:31, 10 June 2013 (CEST)
It's probably not canon, just Namco decided to experiment with gameplay. I myself will create an article when will time.
Hamachi (talk) 14:58, 10 June 2013 (CEST)
I create Tekken Revolution article.
Hamachi (talk) 10:37, 16 June 2013 (CEST)

Request[edit]

Hello Samuel! I just got a request: please get rid of these questions everytime we edit a page.

I know and understand the purpose why you added these questions: to avoid spamming and people who don't know about Tekken. However, these questions appear for EVERY user, thus including registered users.

My suggestion is, please keep these questions for unregistered users only, and maybe registered users who've made less than x edits (similar to Wikipedia's policy of semi-blocked pages, where unregistered and newly-registered users can't edit these pages). This will make life a lot more easier for registered users who are proven to not be spammers or bad editors. Newly registered users should receive these questions once, and if successful on every edit, should no longer get these questions everytime these users edit.

Thanks. --Hello (talk) 23:56, 22 June 2013 (CEST)

Sounds interesting, still number of edits thing will be a debatable issue. Toilethead101 08:14 24 June 2013 (PHT)
Interesting, it should only occur when you register an account, or make an edit from an account that is not registered. If you're signed up and logged in, you shouldn't be getting them. I'll check it out. Samuel (talk) 03:36, 23 June 2013 (CEST)

Tekken Rus[edit]

Hello Samael, do you mind if I talk here with my friend Kirill on Russian? And how's the Russian version of the logo? If you do not have the time to create it simpler I another friend of mine, ok?
Hamachi (talk) 14:48, 2 July 2013 (CEST)

No problem. Feel free to let your friend do it. Sorry I haven't got around to it yet, things are quite busy here. Samuel (talk) 06:49, 3 July 2013 (CEST)
  • Ok, thanks!!! No problem, I will ask for help with the logo from my friend Spillik.
Hamachi (talk) 07:17, 3 July 2013 (CEST)
  • Um ... can you give me the logo file?
Hamachi (talk) 15:57, 3 July 2013 (CEST)

Tekken Revolution vote[edit]

Hi Samael. Voted on Fasebook? For what character voted?
Hamachi (talk) 03:44, 22 July 2013 (CEST)

Hah, I don't use Facebook anymore so I didn't vote. That was for the new character though right? I thought the Salmon should have won. I've just been in Tokyo the last few days where I actually managed to have my first few arcade games of Tekken for a long time. Good to battle a few people over there (although I didn't play anyone really good). Fun times! Samuel (talk) 04:12, 22 July 2013 (CEST)
Yes, for the new character. Won vampire and I'm very happy about that! :)
Hamachi (talk) 04:20, 22 July 2013 (CEST)

You can do that by pressing the Edit button in the pattern, not editing template, but the section in the article? Template:Installment
Hamachi (talk) 05:54, 22 July 2013 (CEST)

Hi! Can you make me an administrator, so I can update the main page?
Hamachi (talk) 08:42, 24 July 2013 (CEST)

No problem, what do you want to update though? Samuel (talk) 09:39, 24 July 2013 (CEST)
Hamachi (talk) 15:19, 24 July 2013 (CEST)
Done! Samuel (talk) 04:27, 25 July 2013 (CEST)
Thank you. Oh how I have everything in the watch list has changed, there were some new features. Now I update the main page.
Hamachi (talk) 05:33, 25 July 2013 (CEST)

Notes[edit]

I added in Tekkenpedia notes, like a Wikipedia! Example.
Hamachi (talk) 15:48, 25 July 2013 (CEST)

Looks good dude! Samuel (talk) 06:22, 26 July 2013 (CEST)
