To-do
This is a somewhat-random listing of stuff I plan on or promised to do at some point. Obviously, I like working on templates and chapter/manga lists... and unlike most to-do lists, if you've got something to be worked on that you think I might be interested in, you're free to list it here. Also, if I've previously agreed to do some task, but it's not done yet and not listed here, I've probably forgotten about it - do me a favor by reminding me! And lastly, just because a particular task is listed here doesn't mean I've "claimed" it; you're free to do it yourself if you want, in which case, you can strike or remove it from here; or, you can ask about collaborating with me - some of the larger projects are going to require quite a bit of collaboration. 「ダイノガイ千?!」? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000 21:36, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
In no particular order:
Chapter lists
Listed in rough order of decreasing priority, which is why lists only appear once here.
- Create (sandbox 1, sandbox 2, Tenchi Muyo! sandbox)
- List of Ranma ½ chapters
- Start chapter lists for various series my library owns (Mars, Dragon Knights, iD_eNTITY, Rebirth, etc.)
- Update with {{Graphic novel list}}
- List of Pokémon chapters
- No joke this is the very last chapters list needing to be reformatted :p Sorry, i'm too scared of Pikachu to deal with it. --KrebMarkt 13:44, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
- I'll have a look, but why are you scared of Pikachu? He's too cute to hurt you (unless your name is Ash Ketchum and you're just starting out on your Pokemon adventure)... =D 「ダイノガイ千?!」? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000 17:28, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
- No joke this is the very last chapters list needing to be reformatted :p Sorry, i'm too scared of Pikachu to deal with it. --KrebMarkt 13:44, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
- List of Pokémon chapters
- Source
- Add/expand/rewrite lead
- List of Air Gear chapters
- List of Dragon Half chapters
- List of Gin Tama chapters
- List of Hana-Kimi chapters
- You owe me few days of my life expectancy for this one ;) --KrebMarkt 14:46, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
- List of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure chapters
- List of MÄR chapters
- List of Oh My Goddess! chapters
- List of Samurai Deeper Kyo chapters
- You know the drill you write a lead and fill the chapters title holes. --KrebMarkt 13:44, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
- I don't think I can do much about the chapter titles (already looked and no Deeper Kyo in the library system =( ), but I'll get around to the lead eventually. 「ダイノガイ千?!」? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000 17:28, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

- Split
- General/misc cleanup
- Misc
- Poke around List of Saint Seiya manga volumes and its sublists/sections and see if I can do any good there
- Get back to work on List of Maison Ikkoku chapters
- Finish up my initial sweep through List of Shaman King chapters and see if there's anything else I feel like doing on it
- Revisit my up-to-now largely neglected chapter lists (List of Battle Angel Alita chapters,
List of Hoshin Engi chapters, List of Hot Gimmick chapters, etc.) to clean them up, source them, and just generally bring them up to date - Copy a bunch of chapter list titles from my watchlist to here and then go through them to see if I feel like editing any of them
Other lists
Find out what's up with List of fantasy anime (e.g. exactly what the inclusion criteria are) - or just what the project would like to see done with it - then work on a new layout/general cleanup- been discussed, and a new layout devised, but no one's applied it yet- Perform a full, proper, complete update of List of manga series by volume count and List of anime series by episode count, then hunt down sources for the total number of volumes/chapters/episodes (volumes, at least, should be pretty easy)
- Actually, going a slightly different route - for the manga list, adding magazine + schedule, publisher, serialization start and end dates, and publication start and end dates - format isn't set in stone, and I'd really like to add author/illustrator as well, but the table is getting crowded enough as-is (although I plan on better incorporating the volume/chapter count into the rest of the table) - also, not sure on how this will port over to the anime list just yet
- Work on splitting List of manga licensed in English, then work on sourcing (giant project)
- Write up a mockup lead first (followup to Talk:List of manga licensed in English#Padding the lead)
- Start similar lists for other languages (French, German, Spanish, etc.) - maybe KrebMarkt would be willing to help?
- Starting with Manga outside Japan - specifically, KrebMarkt has suggested starting on a Manga in France, and it sounds like there's more than enough to support such an article - from there, List of manga licensed in French is a natural sublist split
- After that, create List of licensed manga as a pseudodisambiguation page, linking to the individual language lists, and listing those languages without enough titles to get their own lists yet
- Redirect List of manga to Lists of manga and create that as a disambiguation page for a bunch of manga lists that have up till now been largely disjointed - or, redirect both to Outline of manga, which can then act as a more general introduction to the whole concept of manga, its history, and related topics
Work on List of manga magazines (follow-up on /Archive 2#List love)- largely done, I think- Start work on a series of lists under List of anime licensed in English (several already exist, but need to be broadened, expanded and cleaned up, or have their scopes clarified (List of anime theatrically released in America, for example, is woefully incomplete, ridiculously narrow, and just generally in horrible shape), and they all need to be interlinked)
- Then do similar work for anime licensed in other languages (once again, see if KrebMarkt would be willing to help out)
- And again, Anime outside Japan
- Then link them all together from List of licensed anime, similar to the main licensed manga list above
- At some point in all that (or, more likely, throughout all that), explore, clean up, expand, and (where necessary) create counterparts for all the other lists in Category:Anime and manga lists
- Then do similar work for anime licensed in other languages (once again, see if KrebMarkt would be willing to help out)
- And again, List of anime, Lists of anime, or Outline of anime (see also Wikipedia:WikiProject Outline of knowledge/Drafts/Outline of anime)
Templates and categories
Finish, test, and deploy the HTML version of {{WikiProject Anime and manga}} (will probably have to start over with a fresh copy of the current code)Done and then someFind out if G.A.S will still be able to make the {{Animanga by year category header}} AWB run (probably not); if not, see if I can poke TheFarix into doing it. Neither has the time to do it, so I filed a request at Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/Tasks#Template:Animanga by year category header 9although it looks like that page isn't very active; I may just file a bot request in the endAfter the AWB run (or maybe before it, with some modifications to {{Animanga by year category header}}), turn {{Anime by decade category header}} and {{Manga by decade category header}} into wrappers for Animanga by year- Speaking of which, look at other chrono cat templates in Category:Chronology categories navbox templates and Category:Works-by-year templates and see about coding up a generic metatemplate
- Knock together some template headers and footers for {{Episode list}} and {{Japanese episode list}}, similar to those for {{Graphic novel list}}
- Clean up {{Episode list}}'s documentation, just like I did for {{Japanese episode list}}'s documentation
- See if I can find more participants for Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Anime and manga/Cleanup task force#Template cleanup
On the topic of cleaning up navboxes, hit up {{Rave Master}}- TFD navboxes (double-check first): {{Air Gear}} (4 links),
{{Akira}} (4 links - TFD), {{BECK: Mongolian Chop Squad}} (4 links),{{Black Cat}} (4 links - TFD), {{Blue Submarine No. 6}} (3 links - TFD), {{Burn Up}} (4 links - TFD), {{D.N.Angel}} (4 links),{{Elfen Lied}} (4 links - TFD), {{Ergo Proxy}} (4 links - TFD), {{Fairy Tail}} (3 links), {{FLCL}} (4 links), {{GetBackers}} (5 links), {{Gurren Lagann}} (5 links, 1-2 to be merged),{{Megamanntwarrior}} (unused/3 links - speedied), {{Mobile Suit Gundam Wing mobile units}} (unused - speedied), {{NavigationBox Mazinger Mechas}} (unused - speedied), {{O-Parts Hunter}} (4 links), {{Outlaw Star}} (4 links), {{Paranoia Agent}} (4 links), {{Robot Romance Trilogy}} (3 links), {{Samurai 7}} (4 links), {{Samurai Champloo}} (4 links), {{Slam Dunk}} (4 links), {{ToHeart series}} (3 links), {{Tokyo Mew Mew}} (4 links), {{Trigun}} (3 links),{{UC Series Coding}} (pointless template better served by prose coverage if at all - TFD), {{xxxHolic}} (4 links), more small boxes
- Do more work towards Template talk:Infobox animanga#Template consolidation and see if I can find some new participants
- See about creating a header for Animanga class/assessment categories based on Wikipedia:WikiProject Japan/Assessment/Category header - Nihonjoe might be willing to help, since he created the WPJapan header
- Do some random cleanup/work on the templates at Wikipedia:Userboxes/Anime and manga
- Fill out {{Anime and manga}} as a core subject navbox (with appropriate redirects, of course)
- Sort through Category:Anime soundtracks and give everything proper sortkeys (also, ask about preferred naming conventions for soundtrack lists and whether the cat should be broadened to explicitly include manga)
Programming
- Do more work on my Delsort.js script, and try to find some other people who may be interested in helping me with it (follow-up to #delsort.js (and amdelsort.js))
- Start doing work on User:Dinoguy1000/scripts/userlinks.js (take some from Wikipedia:WikiProject User scripts/Scripts/User tabs)
Start on a script to replace fullwidth characters with their ASCII equivalents (stealing stuff from CodeFixer and Advisor; work off the chart at User:Dinoguy1000/Cheatsheet#Fullwidth character table)FullwidthReplacer
delsort.js (and amdelsort.js)
- General
- figure out how to get auto summaries to ignore section links (steal code for this from User:Drilnoth/codefixer.js)
- make sure it doesn't add the same summary twice (shouldn't be hard)
- come up with something better than
prompt()
for getting the list name - looks horrible on IE (ultimately, will migrate to Twinkle's interface) - list of default delsort lists, plus a user-configurable list that can augment or completely replace the default list
- AfD pages
- confirm it's an actual AfD discussion page
- check the AfD is still open
- check for identical delsort notices on the AfD page
- after this, start generalizing to other discussion types
- Delsort pages
- confirm the page exists - if not, refuse to add the delsort notice to the discussion
- make sure the discussion isn't already listed on the delsort page
Unsorted/misc
- Now that I know where in the magazine contributors are credited, hunt down Wikipedia articles that cite Shonen Jump and properly credit column/feature authors
- Follow-up on /Archive 1#FLCL DVD
Finally do something to show off my first barnstar, and find and link to that particular discussion in the archivesUser:Dinoguy1000#Awards- Start a discussion on prettifying WP:ANIME's front page some
- Start a discussion concerning multiple English releases of manga series
- WP:ANIME newsletter (maybe)
- Outreach in general
Look at Manga outside Japan - it's in dire need of cleanup and sourcing- look up, more on this under "other lists"- Sort this whole list and figure out what kind of priority I want for each task, so I have some general roadmap to doing items (instead of just picking out random stuff (even though I'll probably still be picking randomly XD )) (partially done)
A manwha needing attention, ready weapons
See: Witch Hunter (manhwa) & List of Witch Hunter Manwha Characters
Wrong infobox, wrong book cover & images thanks scanlation power, wrong images licensing....
For more see that user edits to get them all.
That series is probably notable thanks to its licensing in France.
Family diner for me so no hope for extended editing tonight in France which those articles would require.

What do you think about this?
A few hours ago I was debating the likelyhood of any Love Hina chracters other then the two we have achieving notability. Mutsumi possibly, but it depends on the coverage. However Kaolla Su just showed up in the template and linked the character list. I have no doubt that Su will never demonstrate independant notability, what's your opinion? I'm for redirecting or afd'ing as I don't see any chance of any real coverage. Dandy Sephy (talk) 11:45, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
- Saw the same myself. Given the source cited, and the (unusual) fact that this character never had an article before, it seems appropriate to redirect it back to the list. G.A.Stalk 12:49, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
- I'm probably not the best person to ask on notability issues, especially for character articles. However, there's nothing in her article right now to suggest notability, and if you say she's not notable, I have no reason to doubt you (especially with all the work you've put into the Love Hina articles =) ). I'd have to agree, then, that the best course of action is probably simply to redirect it back to the character list. 「ダイノガイ千?!」? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000 17:17, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for the vote of confidence :) I looked at 20-30 pages of reviews, features and such on ANN, Mania and a couple of other reliable sites at the weekend for stuff to add and her name was only ever mentioned in passing (and rarely at all). Dandy Sephy (talk) 17:24, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

- She doesn't really do much, a couple of chapters aside. Well, aside from jump kicking Keitaro in the head for no reason at all :p I've redirected and left a note on the users talk page. Is it worth setting up redirects for the other residents/mutsumi? Dandy Sephy (talk) 17:57, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

- Heheh, in that respect, then, are you sure there aren't any other redirects for Su? Her name seems to be spelled more than one way in English (with or without a macron, and personal name-surname/surname-personal name) - or am I just confusing her with Ku Fei from Negima? 「ダイノガイ千?!」? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000 18:07, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

- It may help to check redirects to the main article and some of the other articles as well; redirects can end up pointing in strange places, and there aren't many people who bother cleaning them up (in our project, at least). 「ダイノガイ千?!」? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000 18:31, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
- I'll add it to the list. Only the main article, keitaro and Naru pages, character list, episode and chapter lists, merge to/start album list, start Game list and check all the redirects left to do *dies*. Dandy Sephy (talk) 18:35, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
- Heh, just take it one task at a time - no one can do everything you've listed, but if you break it up and take your time, you'll be through it all faster than you realize. =) 「ダイノガイ千?!」? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000 18:38, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
- Well, I can't do anything on the main article until it's copy edited... I'm hoping it's ready, I keep finding new issues whenever I think it's done. Naru's page complete rewrite I started sandboxing in feb, I think i've only gone back to it twice since, and for minor things. I'm not touching it until I finish rereading the manga to make life easier (which i'm doing slowly and I'm up to vol10). Not that it's worth moving to mainspace until i do the anime section - which requires rewatching the show first. I just want the main article finished and I'll feel better :P Dandy Sephy (talk) 18:44, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Bread Ninja
I like your opinions on some of Bread Ninja's comments. At Talk:Sailor Moon#a few questions, she is starting to become disruptive. And the whole discussion at Talk:Neon Genesis Evangelion: Angelic Days#Unreferenced and Talk:Neon Genesis Evangelion (anime)#Manga and anime of nge is overly confrontational and shows an unwillingness to accept a consensus that differs from her own opinions. —Farix (t | c) 21:50, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Titled/Entitled
I don't really understand the motivation of a recent edit you made to the Haruhi Suzumiya page. Sure, titled is just as correct as entitled, and entitled can mean something else. However I don't see how this results in "entitled being confused with titled". There is no confusion, in this context, it simply means titled. Consequently, I'm not really sure why one would feel any motivation to change the word entitled to titled. As far as I can tell, it essentially amounts to personal preference, and that's hardly grounds for a wikipedia edit of any sort. Elostirion (talk) 19:39, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
- Entitle means to bestow a title upon something. This is its primary definition, and the other definitions are infrequently enough used as to potentially cause confusion when "entitled" is used as it was on the article. Basically, the usage of "entitled" in the sense "this object is called this" has not entered the general lexicon yet. This is not the first time I have made this change on pages, nor is it the first time I have edited a page specifically to make this change, but it is not something I typically go out of my way to find and correct - I simply correct it as I see it and feel like editing the page. If you'd like to talk to someone about pointlessly editing articles just to be a grammar cop, and who goes out of his way to make the change, I'd suggest you go talk to User:Giraffedata about his insistence on changing or removing "comprised of", which is what most of his edits amount to. 「ダイノガイ千?!」? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000 19:48, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
- I understood that such was your motivation, however I'm not convinced that it "has not entered the general lexicon yet". Besides the fact that the first definition for entitle offered in the American Heritage dictionary is "To give a name or title to", and the first definition offered by the OED is "To furnish (a literary work, a chapter, etc.) with a heading or superscription", I can also refer (if compelled) to several articles in the press that have used entitled rather than titled. If anything, the OED suggests that the primary meaning of entitle is to give a title to a book or other literary work, and offers examples of the use of entitled in such a sense as old as Chaucer (please do look at the link). Elostirion (talk) 20:04, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
- The distinction to be made, though, is between "giving a title to something" and "providing the title of something". "Entitle" is an action verb; when used, it suggests that the provided title is being given to the object in question. "Title", on the other hand, merely suggests that the title in question simply is the object's title. I think both words can really be used wither way ("he titled the book ..." vs. "the book is entitled ..."), but, at least to me, this usage of "entitle" simply doesn't sound right, and goes against how I learned to use the word. The first link you provided supports this as well, after a careful reading. I can't access the OED dictionary; it asks for a login and I have no interest in trying to register an account there. 「ダイノガイ千?!」? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000 20:10, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
- Sorry about the OED thing, I noticed that too late. I'm currently at a university and so I managed to gain access without logging in. I understand what you're saying, and I suppose you're entitled to feel that way. Elostirion (talk) 20:13, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
- That's no problem. Also, glad you understand where I'm coming from; I was finding it remarkably difficult to clearly and accurately explain what I thought and, IMO, I may have come off rather brusque above as well - sorry if I did. =) 「ダイノガイ千?!」? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000 20:19, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

- You're talking about one of the links User:Lightmouse/monobook.js/script.js adds to the toolbox, right? Unfortunately, Lightmouse's dateformat script doesn't convert ISO dates. I instead use my own script (based on one by Remember the dot, with various improvements suggested by User:GregU), which performs quite admirably for the task. =) 「ダイノガイ千?!」? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000 18:13, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

//Date converter from ISO to MDY/DMY ([[User:Dinoguy1000/scripts/ISO date format unifier.js]]) importScript('User:Dinoguy1000/scripts/ISO date format unifier.js');

Black Lagoon
Dear Dinoguy1000. I would agree with yours decision to clean the note from Black Lagoon#Design if you were consecutive.
1. The text which has remained in this section is written (as well as my note) not by scientific style, and does not contain references to authoritative sources, however you have not paid to it attention.
2. The citing fact in a serial of films is obvious more, than that information which remained in article after your editing, however you have not paid to this attention.
3. By wiki-rules, described product itself is a source, though not the authoritative.
I am convinced that the information added by me does article Black Lagoon more full and more clearly for the reader. I ask you not to delete the obvious information, but to help with style editing.
I ask to excuse me for my English language.--Toropyga (talk) 22:03, 20 October 2009 (UTC)Toropyga
- If I understand correctly, the information you are wanting to add draws a comparison between Black Lagoon and films, right? If this is the case, the information must have a source, otherwise it is personal synthesis and cannot be included on Wikipedia. I'll admit that the rest of the article needs cleanup, and there is plenty of other unsourced information on it already, but that does not let you add more unsourced information. Also, don't worry too much about your English, just take a bit of time to try and make sure you're clearly explaining yourself. =) 「ダイノガイ千?!」? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000 19:36, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
-
- I have understood your claims. After the remark from BrokenSphere I have corrected the initial text. Now this remark does not compare a serial to other films. It only specifies in the fact of citing (I hope, you not begin to deny). Citing is a distinctive sign of this serial. I consider that this information is necessary for keeping in article. For the spectator it is the obvious fact, and for the person, not looking a serial (to such person article in the wiki is intended) it gives a fuller appreciation about a serial.
- Once again I pay your attention to a difference between absence of a reference to the source and the serial description, based on the serial. Perhaps you are confused with a word "reception"? I thought of reducing the remark. But a variant "In a serial are plentifully quoted of adventure films", to me has seemed, not too informative. %)))
- So. 1. I am assured that the similar remark does article fuller, interesting and allocates the given serial from a number of the other. 2. I consider that the reference as I result the obvious fact in this case is not necessary, simply I describe a serial. 3. I ask not to delete from article the important information, and to help with correction of its style.--Toropyga (talk) 21:02, 21 October 2009 (UTC)Toropyga

- I may help with the article some, but I can't promise anything - there's already quite a bit of work I've promised to do elsewhere on Wikipedia, and I generally don't do work unless I feel like it (call it a character flaw). ;) 「ダイノガイ千?!」? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000 21:06, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

User:Dinoguy1000/scripts/fullwidth2ascii.js
I am not sure if you have done this already, but would you consider removing the katakana middle dot from this script? The Katakana middle dot (・) is almost exclusively used in Japanese text, and your script currently treats it merely as a fullwidth interpunct (·). This tends to cause problems when your script is used to modify lists of Japanese television program episodes where the Katakana middle dot is used exclusively, replacing it wholesale with the English interpunct, making titles difficult to read within the Japanese text items (compare [4] with [5]). The katakana middle dot is not an interpunct, and there is in fact a separate halfwidth middle dot character (・). I have merely been replacing the improperly placed interpuncts as I find them, but if you could prevent this mistaken replacement in the future, this would be much better for the encyclopedia.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 06:39, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
There is no such thing as a full width interpunct. The katakana middle dot is a unique entity and is not a full width interpunct, as there is a separate half-width character to be used with half-width katakana. Could you please modify this script so people stop replacing katakana middle dots with interpuncts?—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 08:42, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
- Aah, sorry, I forgot about this. =/ Not that I'm arguing against you, but you're the first person who has raised an issue with the katakana middot replacement, in spite of this script being advertised in a couple of places (WT:ANIME in particular). In addition, I have noticed that sometimes the katakana dot is used in place of a period (typically to represent an ellipsis), so it's probably not completely clear-cut. I'll disable the replacements for now, but I'd appreciate having input from native Japanese speakers on the issue. Also, while you're here, are there any other replacements that you think should be changed or disabled, or do you know of any replacements which could be added? 「ダイノガイ千?!」? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000 08:52, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
- I don't really see the middle dots being used as an ellipsis. I just know that automatically the ellipsis is aligned with the mid line if the text is encoded in Japanese (like the following: …), which is different from "···". I can't think of any other replacements other than if you are replacing the ideographic space, and there would be the fullwidth exclamation marks and question marks if they're in the middle of statements instead of at the end, or the fullwidth ~.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 22:26, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
- Actually, I see that aligned on the baseline, same as a regular ellipsis: … vs. … The other replacements you mentioned are all already made by my script, so no new stuff there. =) 「ダイノガイ千?!」? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000 18:59, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

- ROFL! LOL! Hahahaha! I have just figured out who my friendly IP-stalker is! Lately I have noticed there is an IP-user that goes around fixing things on pages some minutes after I have done edits to the pages. I have wondered who he is. So today I thought I would leave him a message on his IP-user talk page and ask him to pop in to my talk page to say hi. But when I took a closer look I figured out who it is: It is you! Funny! But why do you often edit as an IP-user?

- Yep, that's me (and you can see more of my IP stalker numbers at User:Dinoguy1000/Vetted IP edits =) )! Basicaly, I edit Wikipedia from a variety of computers, and so I don't always feel like logging in to make an edit (or, due to the large number of userscripts I have enabled, logging in would simply result in ridiculously slow loading times (on a related note, would you care to have a look at your new messages history script to see if you could get it working on Vector?)). On the upside, this ensures that I am constantly aware of the editing experience as an IP address, but on the downside, it's not so conducive to template work, since templates are so often full- or semi-protected (not much I can do about that, though). I actually find it all rather interesting. =D 「ダイノガイ千?!」? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000 22:55, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

- Yeah, I too often log out, or more commonly start up one of my other browsers, and check how things look when not logged in.
- And it is time you bypass your browser cache. Since you asked so nicely, I have now fixed so my "new messages user script" is working also in the Vector skin.
- --David Göthberg (talk) 02:51, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

- Aah, thanks for updating that script, the absence of the history link in the messages bar has been annoying me for some time now (I've been having to use popups instead)! And, for all the scripts that actually work in Vector without any adjustment, this is one of those which most surprised me when I found out it didn't work. As for your script itself, did you ever try simply doing something like the following (keeping in mind that I'm only a beginner JS coder, so I may be making some fundamental mistake here)?
var messdiv = document.getElementsByClassName( "usermessage" ); /* new messages bar should always be the first match, since all "joke messages" bars must be placed in the content area - this doesn't preclude the possibility of other scripts faking the bar for some reason, but I doubt we can do much about this without looking through all found elements */ /* probably overzealous match length, but it can always be cut down later (and waaay overzealous character escaping, but I can never remember exactly what needs to be escaped and what doesn't) */ if messdiv[0].innerHTML.match( "You have <a href=\"\/w\/index\.php\?title\=User_talk\:Dinoguy1000\&\;redirect\=no\" title\=\"User talk\:Dinoguy1000\">new messages<\/a>" ) { var messdiv = messdiv[0]; var link = document.createElement( "a" ); ...

- Problem is that some of us have old slow computers. And getElementsByClassName() is a very heavy function. Our javascript gurus here at Wikipedia used to warn the rest of us to avoid using getElementsByClassName(). It is not a part of the language, it is a large function in wikibits.js. And it searches through all elements on the page. While getElementById() is very efficient. So it is much more efficient to go to the nearest id which is "contentSub" in most skins, and then do some steps down to the message with the class "usermessage".
- But I don't know much javascript. The two small scripts I have done is the extent of my javascript knowledge.
- By the way, this is why we see to that the MediaWiki system messages each have a CSS id, not just a class, so scripts can easily find them. Oh, that reminds me, I should suggest that we add
<span id="mw-newmessages"></span>
to MediaWiki:Youhavenewmessages. It's actually in my to-do list. I got tons of stuff in that text file... - --David Göthberg (talk) 05:59, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

- Aah, I didn't know getElementsByClassName() was so slow (I did know it was a wikibits.js function, though). The id will be nice, it'll allow you to greatly simplify your script and will also allow other people to do various things (wait, now I'm just reiterating the benefits of using unique ids for this type of stuff... ;P ). 「ダイノガイ千?!」? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000 06:23, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

Excel Saga
Are you still thinking of making an article for the anime specifically? I ask because I've started hacking away at the existing article, and a lot of the material could be removed from the current article more easily if there was a anime specific article. It might be a good idea to dump the previous version into a sandbox. There was too much focus on the anime in the current article, which is all the more apparent now I;m reading the manga. I have the anime dvds available to me, and the manga has a ton of translation/production notes so I can sort out plenty of production info for both versions. Dandy Sephy (talk) 00:15, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
