Conclusions from Google Form Survey
I have finished reading through the results of the mini-form survey. While there weren't too many, the anonymous feedback that was received helped immensely with future planning for admins. In terms of things agreed upon, a few minor character pages were asked for revamping. A page was also requested for an unnamed character in Lio-hen. Main character wise, Kray was found to need some expanding. As for the universe tab, events and location are the main issues. A few other ideas included separate pages for Deus X Machina's versions, gallery pages for the mechs and trivia organizing. The latter I may have a few ideas with. There weren't any complaints involved with the layout. To deal with all of these, here's the order of focus for myself.

Plagiarism on other wikis
Some time ago, I noticed that a wiki I previously had experiences with, Shipping Wiki, had taken information for their page on the fandom ship Galolio. To those who are unsure what that is, it's basically a romantic pairing of Galo and Lio. I am not discussing that however. What I am discussing is the blatant stealing of information for their page, where multiple paragraphs are nearly word for word the same. At first, I felt I was overreacting due to my negative history with them from several discomforts, but then decided to compare with screenshots. This speaks for itself (warning for Promare spoilers in the image).
Besides the occasional change of wording, many of the sentences on the page are nearly identical.
While one could argue that t…
Google Form Survey regarding Future Wiki Plans
To see what specifically needs fixing in the future and to allow for brainstorming with future endeavors, I have decided to make a Google Form Survey regarding some questions. Some of these are things that can be fixed or added by anyone while others refer to admin exclusive abilities such as the theme or main header. As to why I am not using Wikia's implemented poll system, the questions here feature a few short/long answer questions alongside multiple choice. Furthermore, this is to prevent me having to make multiple blog posts or polls as well as have anonymous answers for fair criticism.
With that said, please consider the rules on the Wiki when answering questions, specifically those regarding harassment or discrimination. If you inste…
Updating Achievements
As some of you may of noticed, achievements have been kept as the defaults for a year now. However, I decided to go ahead and update them. Now, most of the names have been changed to a Promare theme while many of the icons have been replaced with screenshots or official art. Currently, here are the icons I will still need to update. Any unlisted means I already did or don't plan to.

Wikia Update and Glitches
It has come to my attention that a variety of pages have began to have glitches thanks to the recent update to Wikia's new format. So far, it appears to only be affecting gallery pages. As of now, Aina and Varys' gallery pages have been fixed. I will momentarily get to work and check the rest. If there any other pages currently being affected that have not been fixed, please comment below and I will see what I can do as an admin.
Edit: Apologies, I accidentally turned off comments through the new set up for wikias. Thank you to those who notified me.
New Admin
Hello there everyone. Today I would like to announce that I am now one of the admins for the Promare Wiki. I believe my wip blog post for to-dos also mentions this. I don't know the exact words to say, but I would like to thank those who have enjoyed my edits or have benefited from any changes I've made. Thank you.
List of Image Categories (So Far)
I'm making this blog post as a reference for myself when adding photos to the wiki. When uploading wiki related photos, unless the image is for blogs or user pages only such as an icon, we might want to categorize images so its easier to go through. Thus, before that, it's best to explain two different ways to add categories first:
- Click on 'Add New Image' on the right of the wiki's header. When prompted, add the source image. In the summary area, add the categories.
- After adding the image to the Wiki, go to the image's link. At the bottom should be a category section. Click on 'add category' and type in your desired category.
As to why I didn't add the prompt in the image section, that one doesn't have a summary section. Rather, it has a ca…

Rasputin: An Analysis.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
There lived a certain man in Russia long ago
He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow
Most people looked at him with terror and with fear
But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear
He could preach the Bible like a preacher
Full of ecstasy and fire
But he also was the kind of teacher
Women would desire
Ra ra Rasputin
Lover of the Russian queen
There was a cat that really was gone
Ra ra Rasputin
Russia's greatest love machine
It was a shame how he carried on
He ruled the Russian land and never mind the Czar
But the kazachok he danced really wunderbar
In all affairs of state he was the man to please
But he was real great when he had a…
HEY YA!

galo thymos: an analysis.
galo thymos is one of the most genuinely stupid men i have ever met. he has the impulse control of a puppy on its very first walk. he never dares think before he speaks and god forbid he have to answer a question more taxing than "pizza or bbq wings for dinner?" i'm impressed that he's managed to live into his 20s, considering his IQ is equal to his age.
that said, i adore him and if anyone is mean to him other than myself i'll personally remove their head from their body and have it mounted over my fireplace.
Why I Don't Think
No thoughts, Head Empty.

Wait!
I have a thought!
