Moving and Merging of articles
There is a Maná article that has been created called ¿Dónde Jugarán los Niños? (Special Edition). By conventions, original album articles should only contain the original album and if there are any edited editions of the original album it can be mentioned on the main article itself. This is my point here in regards to the article above and I hope that what i said this is true in the conventions. I want to merge ¿Dónde Jugarán los Niños? (Special Edition) to ¿Dónde Jugarán Los Niños? which is the main article at the moment.

Another point to make is that ¿Dónde Jugarán los Niños? is now a REDIRECT article instead of the main article. I would like to move ¿Dónde Jugarán Los Niños? to ¿Dónde Jugarán los Niños? because 'los' in Spanish means 'the' as by convention 'the' must always be lower case. But I cannot do this because ¿Dónde Jugarán los Niños? already exists. I remember moving "Los" to "los" but now because Manafan5]] has moved "los" to the Special Edition article, it has messed things up a bit and it seems that I cannot undo what he has done. How can I set this right so that the special edition will be merge to the main article and the main article will say "los" not "Los"? Thank you. Xangel (talk) 16:25, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
 * You can find out the full information about this at Help:Merging and moving pages, including how to request discussion on a move/merge (if you need it), how to request help carrying out a move/merge, and how to carry out the move or merge yourself. However, in short:
 * Renaming the main article needs the help of an administrator, because the rename would be over a page with history. You can write page to move from on the page to move to, and an administrator will move (rename) the page for you to give the lowercase title.
 * You can carry out the merge without an administrator's help, but it's more difficult to do. Basically, you have to copy the relevant text from the article you're merging from to the article you're merging to, explaining where you're merging from in the edit summary (you must say where you're merging from for copyright reasons). Then you simply redirect the article you merged from to the article you merged into, correcting any double redirects that this creates (check the what-links-here of the article you merged from for redirects you'll have to retarget).
 * If you think the merge needs discussion before you make it, place page to merge to on the page you plan to merge from, and page to merge from on the page you plan to merge to, to request users to discuss it. If you think the page move requires discussion, you can request it at Requested moves.
 * Hope that helps! --ais523 17:17, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Template:Template
I have been looking around wikipedia on Album Articles and I have found a whole mess of things considering the track listings. The mess I am referring to are the disorganized tables that includes immense information such as the producers, writers, length, and featured artists (take Usher's 8701 as an example) and Track Listings that are not in tables but with assorted information the track titles (take Usher's Confessions. Now I have been reading WP:ALBUMS and found the Track Listing table with Before These Crowded Streets having an example Track Listing table. My question then is, if I do come across Album Articles in wikipedia, can I organize the entire Track Listing into the Track Listing table format as in Before These Crowded Streets, even if considering there is limited information (Maximum the Hormone's Buiikikaesu as an example) and for the sake or organizing?

 * I don't see why not. If you think that a different format would make it easier to read, then go ahead. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 18:14, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Reporting an abusive editor
I just looked up Animal liberation and it had been tampered with by an anonymous user it seems (User:Redirect fixer is the user who made the last edit). For issues like this how do I report on a user and what are the consequences for the abuse?

P.S. also check out the history on Animal rights. There are two other users DVD R W and Vangerdahast. -- Xangel (talk) 08:55, 16 September 2008 (UTC)


 * They get blocked immediately after they're found and the stuff is usually fixed; apparently this wasn't, thanks for pointing it out. You can always undo the redirect fixer edit in cases like this. You can report ongoing vandalism to WP:AIV or more complex stuff to WP:ANI, although usually these types are noticed and blocked quickly. Tombomp (talk/contribs) 08:59, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Music of Kingdom Hearts
This is a reply to what you left on my talk page. Always remember, guidelines are just that, not a rule. If you think the article needs to break it, then go right on ahead, find a compromise! I personally think that the old tables also looked better, but I realize that the new format I did does have it's appeals, and that "looks better" is not an absolute truth. You have to find the right solution...

I hope we can find something cool for Music of Kingdom Hearts.

For the Music of Kingdom Hearts article, we might have some trouble, because you use actual section titles, whereas the Music of FF pages just simulate them; see the difference between. Tracklist and ===Tracklist=== One way to solve this issue is to use the style="margin-top:-2.5em;" to have the table crawl over your title, making it look, like it is a part of it.

You run into problems doing this, with transparency in FireFox, and IE not showing columns without content

One of the solutions to this is to use wikitables. Since MoKH is not like that of MoFF, there are other solutions. Consider using this:

Track listing
Notice how it is also a subsection.

I think using this would definitely help the article, while keeping that look you like.

We tried it for FFVII, with a 4-Disc variant, and this was the result :. Check it out.happypal (Talk | contribs) 17:25, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

bond
I notice you were changing all references of bond to Bond. This is incorrect, bond should be lowercase. I just thought I'd let you know. i said 08:12, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually, it does not say that. Manual of Style (capital letters) says that if it goes by a lowercase or mixed capitalization, then it should be lowercase. i said 08:52, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Hm. The two guidelines contradict one another. I'll ask about it. i said 09:04, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

I Apologize
Hello Xangel, I was just reading your talk page (discussion) and I realize what mistake I made. I really didnt pay attention when I first started creating articles. Again, Im sorry!!! Manafan5 (talk) 08:47, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Tracklist template (Pink Floyd's The Wall)
You changed The Wall (Pink Floyd album) so it uses the Tracklist template. I posted concerns about it on the article's talk page. Please comment there, and let us know if there was a reason for making this change, and if you know of any way of resolving my concerns while still using the template. --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 17:31, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

P.S., I also posted a note on the Albums Project talk page to let them know that they are possibly recommending the use of this template without realizing it! I'm not sure if they are even aware of it. --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 17:51, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

P.S. again, I looked at it some more, and found how to fix the problems I was seeing. I'll let the others know. --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 18:25, 13 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Hello, this is the editor who used the Tracklist:Template for The Wall article. I did it for the sake of organizing it and make it look pretty despite the lack of information it has. So then I'm just asking, are you totally fine with the tracklist right now? Are there any concerns for this? If there is let me know since I just did out of my own will. I've done this for numerous articles already.--Xangel (talk) 09:58, 14 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks for asking, yes, I'm fine with it. I had a wobbly (as they say in Britain) at first, but after I figured out how to change it to the way I wanted, I think it should stay.  As I posted on the Wikiproject page, I don't think the musicians project intended to promote this template in their instructions, and they are looking into that issue. --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 13:12, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

Duplicate templates, and moved template
This isn't much of a fuss, but I was checking out Template:Tracklist and I noticed its been moved. Now I see two duplicate templates known as Template:Track listing and Template:Tracklisting. To be frank I don't know why "Tracklist" was moved to "Track listing", but in the history it stated it was moved due to "recent convention". I don't understand what this means and I would like to be pinpoint to this convention, but shouldn't it be moved back to "Tracklist"? It shouldn't have been moved in the first place, because its a template, its supposed to be a tool for editing purposes. Also I would like to redirect "Tracklisting" to "Track listing", or otherwise "Tracklist" which I most prefer. Xangel (talk) 23:47, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Template:Tracklist was redirected back in 2010, with the explanation that we prefer not to use abbreviations in template names, especially when the full text is not much longer. Your point about Template:Tracklisting absolutely correct as that appeared to be an unnecessary duplicate so I have switched it back to a redirect.  7  05:25, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
