You don't need to be an admin to create redirects. All you have to do is type #REDIRECT Pagename onto a page and it will automatically redirect. I did it anyways though, just a little tip for the future Haloman333-My Head Asploded! -| My Doomsday Theory 16:59, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

You seemed to be a hardworking and dedicated user. I am usually busy, so i have been neglectful of the wikia Haloman333-My Head Asploded! -| My Doomsday Theory 19:00, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Hahaha
You're a grammar nazi too eh?

The other user was right. It actually is Basque Gran. Just for future reference Haloman333-My Head Asploded! -| My Doomsday Theory 00:04, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Episode pages
Hey, you're an admin, right?

I've been creating/renaming and rewriting articles for all of the anime DVDs, and I was planning to move onto the episode articles (most of which need to be cleaned up), but I'm having a problem with deciding how the articles should be named. If you look at all of the episode articles, you'll see that the titles are not uniform &mdash; some of them just include the title, while some of them have the format "Episode #: "Title" (year)" &mdash; and if we're going to clean up the episode articles, we should start by making sure they have proper names.

Is there a preferred way of naming article pages? We have to make sure that whatever naming convention we choose is compatible with both the 2003 series and the 2009 series, but article names like Episode 2: "Body of the Sanctioned" (2003) just seem a little cluttered. I think we should shorten episode article titles to simply the title of the episode. If the episode title is already the name of another article &mdash; such as Hohenheim of Light &mdash; then we could add "(episode)" at the end of the title, and if two episodes in the two series ever have the same title, we could specify "(2003 episode)" or "(2009 episode)".

If you think the "Episode #: "Title" (year)" format is better, then that's fine, but all of the pages should be named that way, and the site stops me if I try to move too many pages in a short span of time. --Michaelbillings 00:32, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

More about titles and stuff

 * All right. I'll begin changing as many pages as I can. Unfortunately, I changed a couple of them to a "Episode #: Title" format without the year in parentheses, so I'll have to change those again. Moving all these pages around is going to create a lot of redirects...


 * Anyway, I don't have time to write summaries for every episode and whatnot, but my main goal is to make everything uniform and professional-looking. That means coming up with a standard way of naming articles. (When in doubt, I usually look at Wikipedia articles for reference.) I'd also like to go through as many pages as possible and clear up any ambiguities regarding the three storylines (manga, first anime, second anime), since a lot of character pages don't specify which series the information comes from.


 * On another note, although manga fans tend to prefer direct translations of character names and episode titles, I think we should primarily use the "official" English names and titles provided by Funimation, since this is an English wiki. There are a few notorious character names which aren't always translated consistently (Grand/Gran, Law/Loa/Roa, Sheska/Sciezka, etc.), but hopefully those can be worked out. The only thing that really bothers me is that in the English dub of FMA, they definitely say "Ishbal," whereas in the English sub of FMAB, the subtitles spell it as "Ishval." What's more correct? --Michaelbillings 02:34, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Ishval/Ishbal spellings

 * That makes sense. If it's spelled "Ishval" in the official English manga translation, then that should be the official spelling. Still, to avoid confusion, it should be mentioned on Ishval and any related pages that there are two acceptable spellings thanks to the 2003 anime. Also, in addition to keeping the episode titles and DVD volume titles the way they are, the "Ishbal" spelling should probably be used on any other pages which deal exclusively with the 2003 anime, if there are any. --Michaelbillings 02:54, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
