Alright I... create a discussion?? We talk about Toei Recycling. Toei recycles Armor, clothing, objects, etc. In addition to Recycle, modify and repaint. What do you think about Toei recycling?
Long skirt of Kaori Rokumeikan/White swan from "Choujin sentai Jetman" in 1991. The outfit was reused in "Tokusou robo Janperson" ep18 in 2 years later. The Outfit was worn by Kaoru Saegusa.
what did you think?
I would like to submit some info to the Ryukendo Wiki, but it seems to be locked. Are there any admins who would be able to unlock this wiki for editing?
Let's not kid ourselves. There's really not much of a reason for these two shows to have their own wikis.
1. They go weeks or sometimes even months without edits.
2. Inazuman consists of 2 seasons, while Zubat is only 1 show.
3. Should they be moved here, they'd probable get more edits and views, since as it stands, these two shows are no more or less special than other Toei Toku shows. The only claim they seem to have is that they showed up in Kamen Rider's 40th anniversary movie.
4. It wouldn't take much time. There's not even 200 pages between the two wikis.
Kikaider can stay though. That wiki contains enough content to warrant a place amongst our wikis.
Would it be possible for the character templates on the toku wikis,to be edited so that the links to their 'List of appearances' page is optional depending on whether they actually have/need one or not? Because there is a ton of red links on Special:WantedPages for these pages with characters that only appear in one or two episodes when only a fraction of characters have these pages.
Well as I posted, I'm letting you guys assume control of the Twitter page for now.
What we need is to discuss intervals on how long an admin can use it so we can take turns sharing it for info and talking to people. We could get more done this way as we would be able to get certain objectives done for a wiki.
I've finished my discussion with F.J. Desanto for 009 Wiki for now. So now say, Digifiend could use it to interview Power Rangers actors, writers or producers to get data for that wiki. I've also followed blog and news sites to get details from them. (Also a few popular toku fans and companies.)
Thoughts?
This discussion is for where we should place this template and is an extension of this discussion on KR Wiki.
Check articles for article templates and infoboxes. You can find the correct templates in these notable examples:
For episodes- Roboborg (episode)
For Heroes- Ryan Steele
For Arsenal- Dolgrian
For villains- Grimlord
The above text, which appears on the front page, was copied from Metal Heroes Wiki, so all the links are red, it's about time we update that to link to pages on this wiki instead.
We need to update that Tokupedia hub footer at the bottom of the Wiki main pages.
The Kikaider Wiki and Wikizilla sections could be updated to reflect their movies this year when they come as well. There are also some Tokupedia Wikis that have Ultraman as Zero instead of Ginga.

Kanpai Senshi After V - Cheers Warriors After Five. Should we cover it? Seems to be a Sentai parody, about a group of senshi who go to the pub after their fights.
A month ago, Wikia announced a parent filter that could be installed on entertainment wikis such as ours.
http://kamenrider.wikia.com/wiki/MediaWiki:ParentFilter
http://powerrangers.wikia.com/wiki/MediaWiki:ParentFilter
http://metalheroes.wikia.com/wiki/MediaWiki:ParentFilter
Despite the name, its function is to inform parents of the content in a certain franchise in a short summary rather that scour the entire wiki to learn about it. Giving it ratings, stating the content in the media in question (sex, violence, drug use, profanity etc.) and labeling the media by category. (video games, movies, TV, comics)
http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:574893
I made inquiries as to how it works and if a custom template can be made for our wikis so we can use it to inform parents of budding otaku as to what their kids are into.
The administrative staff can chime in their questions and thoughts on it in the above link and you can discuss below.
I clicked on the Kamen Rider wiki but all that does is load to the image of the icon in the photo gallery. All our wikis seem to be doing this! Is anyone else experiencing this right now?
I understand lml908's intentions to redirect the pages as each individual character and their shows have their wikis but I thought our intention was to have this be a crossover database, thus keeping the information is vital. However, he acted on his own without consulting us or if he did, he did not give us time to consider it or post it where we could see it on the forums. As such I am restoring and locking all those pages so only we can edit them.
I have now noticed that the some of the editors that come here are copying information from wikipedia and pasteing it on here...
This is unacceptable because it is the lazy way to build a wiki and discredits the people who worked on those articles. Your thoughts?
As per: this thread
" Hello! I'm Chris. I'm one of the admins of the new Tokupedia hub which stemmed from RangerWiki, Kamen Rider and Metal Heroes and is helping to develop some newer wikis. I was wondering if you'd be open to a partnership, so we can centralize all Tokus and develop an alliance of sorts. We can also help you organize the wiki if you'd like. Currently the members of the Hub are:
Main series:
Under development:
Let me know what you think. Hope to speak with you soon. By the way we also noticed that Ultraman.wikia.com is under Godzilla but they do not use the URL. Perhaps we can request that it be transferred to you."
Wendy just gave us the keys to Tokupedia. As such I have:
Transferred active admin duties from RangerWiki Digi, Digifiend (sysop) and Nbajammer, Gaeaman (admin)
Granted admin status by virtue of IZ and KR wikis Zeromaro and MrThermomanPreacher
Granted admin status for getting the toku ball rolling Aldo the Fox
Congrats guys.
This wiki is about the Japanese-originated genre "Tokusatsu". Tokusatsu (特撮?) is a Japanese word that literally means "special effects." It is primarily used to refer to live-action Japanese film and television dramas that make use of special effects. The term "tokusatsu" is a contraction of the Japanese phrase "tokushu satsuei" (特殊撮影?), meaning "special photography". In production, the special effects director is given the title of "tokushu gijutsu" (特殊技術?), Japanese for "special techniques" or "tokusatsu kantoku" (特撮監督?), which is Japanese for "special effects director", the title usually used by English language productions. Tokusatsu entertainment is often science fiction, fantasy, or horror, but movies and TV shows in other genres can sometimes be classified as tokusatsu as well. The most popular types of tokusatsu are kaiju monster movies (the Godzilla and Gamera film series), superhero TV serials (the Kamen Rider and Metal Heroes series), and mecha dramas (Giant Robo). Some tokusatsu television programs combine several of these subgenres (the Ultraman and Super Sentai series). Tokusatsu is one of the most popular forms of Japanese entertainment, but most tokusatsu movies and television programs are not widely known outside Asia.
