On https://souleater.fandom.com/wiki/Little_Ogre it says that the black room is a reference to the Red Room in David Lynch's television series Twin Peaks but wouldn't Little Ogre be a potential reference to Igor and the Velvet Room from Persona as well especially with Little Ogres appearance?
What's on your mind?

Hello everyone!
Earlier today, Fandom released a minor design update to the VisualEditor, both the Visual Mode and the Source Mode (aka 2017 editor), to help simplify it and make it more intuitive. I recommend reading this blog for detailed information, but here are the short details.
Renamed some of the tools (e.g. "paragraph" is now "normal text")
Shuffled some icons around (e.g. the back and forward arrow buttons are now located on the far left rather than the middle)
Hid some less-essential tools from view to make the initial editor view less overwhelming in all its glory (the tools are still accessible in dropdown menus)
For the 2017 source mode: we removed the options available from the menu icon (those three stacked horizontal bars) -- If you want those back, you can customize your toolbar to access them from there)
For the 2017 source mode: we used the menu icon to replace the gear icon
The blog has some helpful pictures as well. Let me know if you have any comments, concerns, or constructive feedback! Happy editing! :D
Just Updated
Hi guys! Wanted to quickly inform you about notifications being wonky again. They're apparently not ready for the new year either.
Yesterday, older notifications were missing and users were unable to click on them. Fortunately, new notifications are now going through. The bell icon is showing the wrong count until user gets a new notifications. Users still have no access to notifications that happened during the incident plus older notifications until a complete fix (which is being worked on). "Mark all as read" is still be wonky as well.
Thank you again for your patience as we look into this issue. With that being said, since I cannot see older messages from my holiday break, I'm afraid I am missing some so feel free to ping me again if I have not responded to your message! I will also be going through my message walls again to see if I missed any pokes there.
As always, feel free to reach out on Discord (vector_sigma) if needed since I'm permanently online :) Hope you guys had a great holiday season!
Hi guys! Just wanted to give you all a quick update.
As some of you may have learned, notifications were broken from approximately 5 pm EST to 5 am earlier today. Web-notifications weren't be sent out properly, and then they weren't being removed afterwards. I'm happy to say that the issue is now resolved ^^ Thank you for your patience.
If any of you pinged me last night, feel free to poke me again! I'll be going through my message walls and checking manually. I was a bit busy extinguishing fires in Community Central last night (and it's finals week for me, rip).
As always, feel free to reach out on Discord (vector_sigma) if needed since I'm permanently online :)
Hi guys! Got another short update for you guys.
The Thanks extension is now available for all wikis after several months of testing. You may have seen this on other wikis, but this will allow users to "thank" individual edits by other users by clicking the (thank) button next to each individual edit. Users will receive a notification that you thanked their edit. It's basically a quick way to provide encouragement for edits.
You can disable these notifications in your preferences. Admins can enable/disable the extension on the Admin Dashboard, just like message walls and blogs. You can view all the logs for Thanks under Special:Log/thanks.
Hello everyone!
I'm sure most of you have noticed the little site notice appearing on the wiki about the MediaWiki 1.39 update. I just wanted to give a little bit more information about it.
What's being updated? Mostly coding underneath the hood. There will be no major design changes. Consider it like replacing the battery of a car - the car will still be the same outwardly, but it just needs some updates underneath.
All Fandom wikis will be updating to MediaWiki 1.39 in the coming month. I don't have an exact timeline at this moment, but expect it to happen in mid-March or April. During the migration to 1.39, the wikis will be set in read-only mode. It shouldn't take more than 30 minutes (major wikis could need more hours). One week before migration, a banner will appear on communities to let you know the migration is scheduled. For one week after the migration, a similar banner to let users know the community is now on the new version.
Most importantly, if you experience any bugs after the move, please either report them to the admins (who will then forward them to me) or directly to me either on my message wall or Discord. We've done our best to squash and take note of any bugs in our testing phase, but any additional pokes would be greatly appreciated!
Please check out the help page on Community Central for a changelog and further information. ^^
Ok, so means I'm a rookie at Soul Eaterpedia doesn't mean that I'm a fandom rookie- this can just be the other fandoms that I'm in, but most of the character images that I see are typically either shots from the Manga (eg. Maka, Kid, Crona), or the Anime (Liz, Patty). How come transparent/white background JPG or PNG images aren't used on this wiki often? Just wondering.
<p>Hello to anyone reading this!
</p><p>I know it's been ages since I've even opened up a discussion but as the <i>Soul Eater:The Perfect Edition</i> and it's release draws near, I believe it's time to re-evaluate how we place information on the wikia. There are some changes to come that I am trying to implement. These include the following:
</p>
- Implementing color-coded infoboxes for characters of various races. Right now, I have yet to figure out how to do so now. We once had this but the portable infobox migration has robbed me of the method I formerly used.
- More specific information on info-boxes. With the help of art books, guidebooks, and other media, there's enough justification to add such things to the infoboxes.
- Once the Perfect Edition omnibus for Soul Eater releases, this wiki will use it's updated terminology whenever we encounter such! I already pre-ordered some of the editions!
- How do you feel about infoboxes's current profile pictures. I have experimented this myself over the past year. Do you prefer anime or manga pictures? Should we include both?
- How do we go about addressing character's power and abilities? Our current formatting has a major issue of causing text to act strangely when there's too much information. Death and Maka's page suffers from this especially. I have ideas on how to address it.
- What're some changes you wish to see and why? And perhaps how?
(Edited by JayAaerow)
<p>It's been quite a while since I've updated anything from the forums but I am going back over the arc pages and decided to put forth some changes to them:
</p>
- The Deal Arc will be worked to merge with different arcs and ridded of altogether as I am working to limit the amount of conjecture arcs depending on where it fits best.
- For a more cleaner appearance, no longer is it necessary to separate <i>Soul Eater</i> and <i>Soul Eater NOT!</i> arcs on character pages.
- I will be removing the anime-only arcs, Eibon Investigation Arc and Arachnophobia vs DWMA Arc. They will be reworked into Internal Investigation Arc,Operation Capture Baba Yaga Castle Arc, and the newly to-be-created Kishin Battle Arc.
- War on the Moon Arc and War on the Moon II Arc will be combined, though the pages will be separated under headings of part one and two to support the titling.
- Monotone Princess will be receiving it's own "arc page" and treated as an anime-only story arc much like how the Kishin Battle arc will be, as it will be the only anime-only story arc since I cannot justify adding it to the Operation Capture Baba Yaga Castle arc.
- Some characters will have the newly made Chotto Arc on their page when I get around to making the page.
- And finally, some audio dramas may receive their own "arc page".

Has anyone noticed that the page for "Soul Evans/Relationships" has been deleted?
Is there a way we can bring that back, as there was useful information on that page?

<p>I've gotten around to thinking of how to entice new editors and contributors into easing their way into the Soul Eater Wiki and it occured to me that there is little to no way of understanding or learning how to conviently gain the skills neccessary to really know how to edit! So that's why starting now and moving over into the next week, I will type up a guide on the wiki!
</p><p>Doing so also requires me to go and edit categories, templates, etc. so that the'yre easy and convenitent to use for others. In addition to this, I will also be going back and updating the guidelines, policies, and anything that is required for the framework for the community. I have played backseat moderator for far too long and not enough "training" like I think should be implemented to a degree. At least to go off and do things on your own!
</p><p>If you have suggestions, questions, or anything you think can help me achieve my object, let me know.

<figure class="article-thumb tright show-info-icon" style="width: 180px">
<figcaption> <p class="caption">Guidebook page on Tsubaki's weapon forms.</p> </figcaption></figure>So looking through the Soul Eater Guidebook, I found a page in which all the normal weapon transfomations were under a banner that roughly translate to something like "Tsubaki Mode Change". The reason we're going to start using these as names is because within Yen Press, the naming of Tsubaki's weapon transformations are sometimes "Mode: *Weapon*", "Demon Shadow Weapon Tsubaki Mode: *Weapon*, and others. Since this is expressed within the book under a COMMON title, it's best to use that for titling purposes.
<p>However, I don't mind if the alternative titles are used during a summary, description, etc. It's only important when highlighting a character's special abilities (Black Star's abilities page) at most.

<p>So many of our pages on this wiki have the "Demon" before an item is stated per the naming that comes from the manga. However, one could notice that in each page with the japanese kanji within it, it always usually has "魔法" that, in which is "Magic". Pronounced "Mahō" (Mah-hoe) in japanese, it outright translate to "Magic".
</p><p>However, for whatever reason, Yen Press uses "Demon" instead and not for a reason as far as I know. So I'm seeing If the community doesn't really care for this or would rather do what the anime does and simply use "Magic" since it is factually correct and this wiki aims to be factually correct!
</p><p>Thoughts?
</p>

<p>It's been a while since I used the forums but I decided to highlight a subject today: Story Arc pages. Now, I'll be checking on them myself but no longer are we going to be doing certain things for these pages in hopes that the pages will be easier and simplier to put together!
</p>
- No more summaries! Already we have to go through various summaries for the episodes, chapters, character, etc! Doing an entire arc? Too much! Instead, we'll only indicate what chapter/episodes are contained in a section (Whereas it was in the infobox before) and let the Episode/Chapter page do the rest of the talking!
- Make sure trivia is not regurgitating information on a specific episode page!
- I might rid of the anime/manga difference section altogether. We already have a Differences in the Soul Eater media page and the chapter/episode pages also do this. The point is to reduce the idea of being redundant and make pages easier to follow and easier to edit as editors! Less work on us!
(Edited by JayAaerow)
<p>It's been over a freaking year since I've attempted to communicate with the community at all! No matter. Lets gets down to it!
</p><p>So, I've decided that like the Attack on Titan and other animanga wikis, we will go about seperating the anime and manga into various different pages. This is because I've always found it difficult to seperate these things. Having tried so many methods, I thought to outright seperate them this time! So there will be three continuities we will be addressing:
</p>
- Manga Continuity- The manga continuity is our main canon continuity! This includes the mangas of Soul Eater and Soul Eater NOT! as well as the drama CDs!!!
- Anime Continuity- Our anime continuity will focus only on the Soul Eater anime and Montone Princess since apparently, it does fit within the anime and follows it's rules!
- NOT! Anime Continuity - This applies to the anime of Soul Eater NOT! articles. This is because it doesn't quite fit in either of the continuities.

<p>Alrighty! Just a quite note that I've finally done changed up part ofthe appearance of the wikia to a newer look. I hope you all like it as a nice surprise but I'm sure we'll run into the issue of coloration of infoboxes. If you catch some, please let me know so I can fix it. Let me know right here or my talk page.
</p>
(Edited by JayAaerow)
<p>After some time of scouring the Soul Eater How to Make a Death Scythe Guidebook, I see that out categorization of pages relating to this is different from the categorization present within the book from the wiki. There's various unique/non-existent categories compared to the wiki such as:
</p>
- Unknown Arts
- Spiritual Arts
- Special Arts
- Special Magic
- Special Form
- Tricks
- Spells (This is used in the manga)
- Deathblow This is the equivalent to the section "Powers and Abilities"
- When referring to variants, it's called a "Power Up" instead.
- Special Weapon (Referring to Weapon Forms)

<p>So I would like to announce that I've recently became Bureaucrat (finally!) and that's thanks to all you good people on this wiki! I'm glad realy happy that my "vision" and "direction" recieves so much ununamious support. So thank you!
</p><p>With that said, I've chosen my new administrator. Although normally this is done in votes, because this community is too small....I hope you can trust me and my decisions. Currently, I feel there's two people whom are eligible. And I've chosen one out of the 2. The other may find themselves promoted If the community becomes larger as a result of our efforts. :)
</p><p>But until then the new administrator is: Soul-Dwelling. After all their hard work, level of collaboration on and OFF SITE even and their support and knoweldge....I felt they deserved this promotion and I hope everyone comes to support my decision. They sorely passed the contributing limit and have been around long enough to be eligible.

<p>Simple question here: How long do you think an inactive admin/bureau. can be before they can be removed? My personal view is three months. However, since I'm revising our policies, I'm making sure the community agrees or has a stricter/looser view on this. Thoughts?

<p>Alright. So after crusing around social media and finding that many people griple, complain, and/or point out that they're spoiled from simply visiting the wikia, I've manage to insert a code into the Wiki's javascript in which from this point on: A page with the category "spoiler" added to it will block off the page with a spoiler warning prompt. I'll need my editors to go about various articles and when crucial information is reveal on a character's page, to put a "Spoiler" category in it. You're pretty smart editors IMO so I'll trust your judgement in a case-to-case basis.
</p><p>Another thing: I've changed up the board naming and some of them are missing....this is some sort of bug and glitch! I'll have to contact wikia so...yeah. There's that I have to tell you.
</p><p>Lastly, I'm going to go back and revise some of our rules/guidelines. I intend to put up an inactive administrator rule so those whom are inactive and are in a position like me can get replaced or whatnot whenever the time comes or whatever. I will also establish a guideline on how to customize your pages with our user infoboxes and whatnot to give a more personal touch to pages. So yeah.
</p><p>That's about it. Keep up the good work.
</p>
