Should we make a page similar to this? https://powerrangers.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Redecoed_Sentai_Rangers Darth Paul (talk) 07:32, February 17, 2020 (UTC)

No, I do not see the need for such a page. In Sentai the concept of a redecoed Ranger is a lot more unique because such Rangers usually only make one-off appearances. Looking at the latest revision of the page before it was marked for deletion, there's nothing unique about most of the so-called "redecoed" Riders listed. Sharing of base body types is a lot more commonplace in Rider because of powers stemming from a shared source. It would be weird to say that Punch Hopper is a redeco of Kick Hopper, or for instance saying Rider 2 is a redeco of Rider 1. I'd guess that kitbashed suits like the future Riders from Zi-O would still count, but their suit modifications are a lot heavier for them to be classified as just "redecoes".

Villain descriptions[]

Kaden105 (talk) 00:51, April 13, 2020 (UTC)

Hi I was wondering if you guys would be willing to update the Villain pages, give them a little more detail, such as a detailed description of their clothing because I saw on the Final Fantasy wiki there are detailed descriptions on the characters clothing and I would like to see a similar approach on this wiki.Kaden105 (talk) 00:51, April 13, 2020 (UTC)

Changing the kamen rider wiki logo[]

Now that bandai and toei introduce a Brand name of the kamen rider franchise which is this one : 

Will anyone be interested in changing the wikia logo to match the brand one along with the logo?Johnny1234343 (talk) 06:54, June 26, 2020 (UTC)

We're currently designing possible new logos over at our Discord server. Stay tuned!

KR French[]

Hello, can I use this wiki content to make a French Kamen Rider Wiki? I ask because I've been warned for plagiarism on the RangerWiki.

Jay D. Ashe (talk) 22:39, September 9, 2020 (UTC)

No... using all content that originally from this wiki and copy-paste into your own wiki will be consider as plagiarism (like using the same picture on every page and same content on every section on respective page) Remainedfear (talk) 01:41, September 10, 2020 (UTC)

Actually Jay, I recommend speaking to User:Maharaja O Earth for advice. He got permission to create a Hindi version of the Kamen Rider Wiki. From what I know, you need the support of the admins to create an interlanguage Wiki. OverlordBaron (talk) 01:46, September 10, 2020 (UTC)

if you want to make interlanguage wiki of Rider Wiki, you have to use different picture and character history must be different from Rider Wiki Remainedfear (talk) 01:48, September 10, 2020 (UTC)

To be fair, based from the conversations I've read about Maharaja O Earth's Hindi page, he can use character history and pictures, as long as they're signed with admin approval. Just speak with Maharaja or Rgiacobbi1 about it. OverlordBaron (talk) 01:53, September 10, 2020 (UTC)

I'll approve it, but make sure other admins are okay with it. I am also highly recommending that this doesn't start until after the Hindi-version is done. Rgiacobbi1 (talk) 01:57, September 10, 2020 (UTC)

Dear Jay, from what I learned from admins and the already existing Russian-version, using images from this wiki won't count as plagiarism as long as that wiki is related to this one. While creating the wiki, just make sure while creating the Wiki that you set the link to 'kamenrider.fandom.com/(the shortcut for language)' and not anything else, like Hindi version has /hi and Russian version has /ru. Maharaja O Earth (talk) 04:20, September 10, 2020 (UTC)

Oh, and I forgot to type. After French wiki is complete ask an admin to file a request in Community Wiki for linking both of them. That would make everything clear. And Rgiacobbi1, Hindi-version can take time. I am the only one here who knows Hindi (or at least is interested in working on it) and I have commitments in real life as a student. If French-version is approved, Jay shouldn't wait. Maharaja O Earth (talk) 04:50, September 10, 2020 (UTC)

KR Wiki Hindi[]

Hi dear admins. As you all know, I am currently working on the Hindi-version. I have created about 10 pages as of now. I wanted to ask if I should apply for Interlanguage links at Community Central or anyone of you would do so to link English, Russian and Hindi versions with each other. Please let me know. :)

Maharaja O Earth (talk) 17:33, September 24, 2020 (UTC)

Anyone there? Maharaja O Earth (talk) 14:33, September 25, 2020 (UTC)

3 requests/queries[]

I was thinking about asking a few things from Administration. I think I should ask all of them together. Normal users are free to express their views as well. Maharaja O Earth (Talk, Contributions) 06:04, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Revival of Forums[]

I went through the forum closure discussion and I agree that it was a correct decision under those circumstances. But things have changed. I believe we can revive forums as they will connect fans together. RangerWiki's forums are going on and we can see that they cause no major issues. Maharaja O Earth (Talk, Contributions) 06:04, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Closure of wiki forums was a FANDOM decision when the UCP update hit. Nothing can be done about that. Rgiacobbi1 (talk) 06:23, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

I think there is some miscommunication. I am talking about something like this. Maharaja O Earth (Talk, Contributions) 06:42, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Oh that, my bad. That will have to be considered by admins. Rgiacobbi1 (talk) 06:50, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Wow. Thanks for considering my request and reviving Forums. Maharaja O Earth (Talk, Contributions) 03:52, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

We brought the forums back more along the lines of feedback from our FANDOM Representatives more so than your request, but we brought them back, so enjoy. Rgiacobbi1 (talk) 04:11, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

Moderators[]

Although KR Wiki has plenty of admins, I was wondering if addition content moderators can be appointed as well. Those who were earlier nominated for administrative positions as well as other active and old users can serve well. Maharaja O Earth (Talk, Contributions) 06:04, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

That is not something being considered at this time. Rgiacobbi1 (talk) 06:23, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Discussion pages[]

I and many other users believe that there should be discussion pages where we can discuss wiki related issues. Message walls exist but they are not good enough. For example, message walls have stopped supporting wiki-text due to UCP and discussing color-gradients for Riders became difficult. I have tried to solve it through an UNOFFICIAL discussion place but it will be better if an official place was made available. Maharaja O Earth (Talk, Contributions) 06:04, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

The only options available are the message walls on user profiles and the Tokupedia discord linked to the right. There are a lot of behind-the-scenes level discussions that users who are not part of it miss out on about the Kamen Rider Wiki and other hub wikis, so I highly encourage joining the server to receive more interactive discussions about the wikis. Rgiacobbi1 (talk) 06:23, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Database Dump[]

I noticed on https://kamenrider.fandom.com/wiki/Special:Statistics that the database dump is 6 years outdated, and in that time many new updates have occurred in the fandom and the wiki itself. I am requesting a new dump of this, if this is not possible that is fine. I apologise for taking up your time or if I'm using this board incorrectly but I wanted to see this oversight rectified. --- IronTune (talk) 12:15, 11 May 2023 (UTC)

I've just requested for an update. Fandom should generated the updated dump within a week. Thanks.
