Yo
yo did u hear about the earthquake and tsunami that hit japan right?

Yeah, it's a tragedy. Fortunately, Japan is more prepared for this sort of thing than most other places in the world, but this was still a horrible thing to happen.Turambar1  19:15, March 12, 2011 (UTC)

Removed Characters
Well, I must admit that I really created "Raluca". xD But I remember I found Tara and Tabitha on a youtube video, but it got deleted. In fact, I don't have any proof.

Also, how did you find the character names for Thug and Tsunoda? They did not appear aswell.

~lemon69

That's all right. I felt like I had seen "Tabitha" used for that character somewhere, but I haven't been able to find it in any official source. I found "Thug" and "Tsunoda" in the second set of credits at the very end of the AN simulcast episodes. Most of the names that aren't found in the manga were found there.Turambar1  23:49, March 24, 2011 (UTC)

Um, well, may you somehow link me to your source? O;

My source is the physical episodes, so I can't actually link to them. You can go to horriblesubs.org and look in their archives or search on nyaa.eu and find the horrible subs episodes. Actually, if you don't want to download, the Anime Network now has them for free on theanimenetwork.com. "Tsunoda" will be in episode 3 and "Thug" will be in episode 4. The voice cast part of the credits starts at about the 23:54 minute mark, so look there. If you have any more questions, I'll be happy to help.Turambar1  13:32, March 26, 2011 (UTC)

Um yeah, I'll check later. Also, can you find the name of that girl with glasses from episode 3? She's a follower of Shido.

I don't think she has a name. I've already made pages for all of the unique names found in the credits. All of the other names are generic stuff like "Student" or "Girl". Most characters just never had names to begin with which is something we've struggled with here; especially when trying to decide what names to give to the mall survivors.Turambar1  19:24, March 26, 2011 (UTC)

I see. Then, can we add those characters to this wiki, with names like "Unknown Koichi Shido Follower", and names like those? :3

Well, we can't really give a character without a name their own page unless they're important to the plot and have an official title like "Thug", but the idea I have for characters like that is to include them on group pages. Under the members section, we can list all of the named characters as well as unnamed ones with pictures beside each for identification. This way, however, the characters will only get a paragraph or two, so the description is limited. We may find a method of creating pages for these characters later, but for now, I think we should use the group pages. If you want to start the page for "Shido's Group", you can use the format on our Highschool of the Dead Wiki:Layout Guide. If you just want to fill in stuff for the unnamed girl(s), that's fine. Don't worry about making mistakes; I'll go through later and change/correct anything if needed.Turambar1  20:01, March 26, 2011 (UTC)

I think I'll do it. Or.. do you want to?

By the way, do you know that man with a white dress who was like the servant of Souichiro Takagi? He appeared in episode 12. Well, I found his name in a manga chapter. His name is Yoshioka. Check chapter 11, page 17. Also, can you create his character page? I'm not so good at creating character pages. :3

Thanks for catching that. I think I meant to create a page for him a long time ago but never did it. I'll create both pages, but I'm not going to start adding to them yet. You can start filling them in if you want. We don't have any group pages to use as a reference yet, so just fill in the information however you like. I'll go through and correct it later if I need to.Turambar1  20:34, March 26, 2011 (UTC)

Okayy, so you create them and I complete them with text. :3 Got it.

Yeah, they should be ready now. You can add images to the Shido's Group page if you want. Whether you upload new images or use the images already here is up to you. When you create names for the unnamed characters, use something that clearly identifies them like "Female with Glasses" or something.Turambar1  21:13, March 26, 2011 (UTC)

Chapter 29
Hello. Hey dude, I've noticed you uploaded the name for the new chapter and was wondering where'd you got it. Is it out now? At least in English? You know, I'm Mexican but have no problem reading in English. If you could provide me with an address I would be very thankful.

In other aspects, I know I said I would be working on the weapon pages, but I'm a bit busy with school now and won't be able to do so until Wednesday and Thurday. I'm sorry for that. Anyway, I'll watch all the chapters again as soon as possible to get information. Thanks anyway. Silver-Haired Hero 23:34, March 12, 2011 (UTC)

It was released by HOTDcups on http://torpedotits.blogspot.com/

Don't worry about the weapons pages if you're busy, but if you'd like to help update a page for the new chapter go to this post in the forums.Turambar1  00:08, March 13, 2011 (UTC)

Thank you so much!! Dude, I've readed it already! It was worth the waiting althrough I would've liked more fanservice and gore, but the story's going well. I'll start editing the weapon pages and creating the one for Rei's dad spear and Rei's yummy-mommy if there's no problem with it. Silver-Haired Hero 01:36, March 13, 2011 (UTC)

Hold off on creating the new pages for now. We can create those when the other main pages have been updated. I'm not sure how long that will take because it looks like I'm updating alone as of now.Turambar1  01:43, March 13, 2011 (UTC)

Cool, but I can proceed with the weapons as planed, right? Silver-Haired Hero 01:45, March 13, 2011 (UTC)

Oh yeah, go ahead with that. Let me know if you need any help.Turambar1  01:49, March 13, 2011 (UTC)

Uuhhh...I've just noticed there's no article for the MP05 used by Saya. Can I create it? Or better, you create it and put in an image and I'll do the rest. Thanks! Silver-Haired Hero 02:01, March 13, 2011 (UTC)

Brainstorm!! I've checked some of the gun pages to update and noticed the quote from Sato, which is kind of a vague description about what Kohta have said about that gun. So I got a question: should we create a section called 'Description' OR 'Kohta's Description'? The latter would be more usuful since we are posting only Manga/Anime data and no real-world data, in my opinion anyway. Silver-Haired Hero 02:14, March 13, 2011 (UTC)

I honestly just put the author's quote in to take up space. Instead of a new section, you can just start a sentence with "According to Kohta..." or "Kohta says..." and give the description from there. I started the page for the MP5SFK, so it should be ready whenever you want to work on it.Turambar1  02:33, March 13, 2011 (UTC)

OK. Thanks for the page add. I'll really work now. I now know I said so three days ago and haven't done anything important yet, but this one's for real. Also, I added a Trivia for the Springfield Rifle, would you mind checking it out please? Silver-Haired Hero

Yeah, that's acceptable trivia. That actually may be a good one to add to Rei's page as well. On the MP5 page, you put the plot summary in the "Overview" section, but it's no big deal. I'll move it for you.Turambar1  04:14, March 13, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, I was reading the chapter 6 because, you know, the guns. There's no way I was reading it again because of the bath scene. No way. And I noticed that in Chapter 7 Alice pees over Takashi, being the first time he's covered with pee, being the second in Chapter 28. I think that's worth a Trivia, too.

Also, I noticed I accidentaly moved around the text of your talk page. I was going to try and put it back as it was, but remembered that you Editors in Chief have the power tho bring back old versions of a page. Sorry about that. I'll go sleep now, its almost midnight here. Thanks. Silver-Haired Hero 04:26, March 13, 2011 (UTC)

Don't worry about it; that stuff happens. Actually all users have the power to undo edits. The power we have is rollback, which I only use in extreme situations or for obvious vandalism as it completely removes the edit from the history. That is kind of a fun fact about Takashi. I may add it to his trivia later.Turambar1  04:32, March 13, 2011 (UTC)

yo
yo turambar sorry for getting on hOTD wiki while drunk, thanks for giving me the warning to remind me not to do stupid stuff like that again

I've been in that situation, so I can't really condemn you for it. There wasn't any major damage done anyway, so I can forget about it as long as it doesn't become a regular occurence.Turambar1  17:33, March 17, 2011 (UTC)

Walking Dead?
Hey if your a fan of Highschool of The Dead, i suggest you read the comic book series The Walking Dead or watch the television series. It has a similar plot to HOTD, but has a much darker tone to it;it follows a sherrif waking up from a coma and finding out the world is overunned by zombies, now him & and a group of survivors must survive the long trip to reach areas not affected by the outbreak. My uncle showed it to me and i was immediately hooked, its a great story with deveolping characters reacting to whats going on. if you don't have the time then suggest buying the complete first season of the Walking Dead tv series.

I was going to start watching that when it first came on, but I forgot and it was to late to get into it. I may read the comic books, though I don't read many western-style comics.Turambar1  02:43, March 18, 2011 (UTC)

oddly enought this is a black & white comic book(similar to HOTD), it gives it a much grittier tone to the store. even though you don't read many western style comics, i recomeend you read this one for sure.

Wikia Anime on Twitter
Hello, I'm Kate from the Wikia Content team. We are trying to create a WikiaAnime Twitter group, where all of the amazing wikis can come together and share their most exciting information, and hopefully get a lot of new users! To join, all you need to do is post this Twitter button and tweet list on your main page.

<twitteruser username=WikiaAnime limit=3 />

Then you can visit the Anime Twitter Suggestions Page and post tweets you'd like to see, with links back to your wiki.

Please share this with your other members and admins and see if it's something they'd be interested in joining! Let me know if you have any questions, and we hope to see you there!

Reply discussions
Good Afternoon,

I might sound like an ding-dong but how do reply to a discussion? Sorry I'm new to this and I wanted to answer the OVA discussion you posted today. Thank you. Ochrolv 20:16, April 29, 2011 (UTC)

Click the "Edit" button at the top of the page just like you did on this page. Then you just type your reply under the last one. Let me know if you need help with anything else.<font color="darkred" size="2px">Turambar1  21:18, April 29, 2011 (UTC)

Previous wiki still being updated
It seems that people are still making edits to the previous HOTD wiki instead of coming here. Is there a way to redirect that wiki here? You may need to have Wikia staff help out on this. I also noticed that when I Google "highschool of the dead wiki" or even "high school of the dead wiki" that the other wiki comes up as the 4th result. This one isn't even coming up. BrokenSphere (Talk) 19:18, June 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes, I'm aware of this. I used to leave people messages to tell them to come here, but it didn't seem to work. Most of the edits there are vandalism or other meaningless things that would likely be reverted here, though it looks like there are more meaningful edits lately. I've thought about contacting Wikia to have it either removed or redirected, but I don't think they would do that if there are active users. I suppose I could still try, though. Another solution I thought of was having someone here adopt the other wiki and either ask Wikia to delete it or delete all articles, files, and other content, and then make the main page redirect here. It could take a couple weeks to get Wikia to allow you to adopt it, so the user would need to be dedicated. I think we're on the third page in a Google search, but more specific searches sometimes list us on the first page. I don't know why we're so far down the list. I'll see if I can do something about it.<font color="darkred" size="2px">Turambar  20:36, June 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * I would suggest using Special:Contact about this. Wikia sites can be removed if requested. My apologies, as I didn't knew about this wiki at first...>n< Mckrongs 10:37, June 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * Wikia staff can redirect the other wikis to here. If someone clicks on hotd.wikia or hsotd.wikia it will automatically redirect to this one. And I just found a 4th one - highschoolofthedeadpage.wikia! BrokenSphere  (Talk) 01:16, June 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'll go ahead and contact Wikia to see if they will do that. There's actually a fifth one at highschoolforthedead.wikia. I listed ours as the main one at the Animanga wiki, though.<font color="darkred" size="2px">Turambar  20:00, June 19, 2011 (UTC)

Bizarre contents box
Sorry to bother you with this but, I looked all over and couldn't figure out where to post this. There seems to be somehing weird with the contents box on the Saya Tagami caracter page. There's a paragraph inside the box. I have no idea how to use wiki so instead of screwing something up, I figure its probably best to let you handle it. Risser 216.110.247.58 08:52, July 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you for bringing that to my attention. It looks like some text was inadvertently changed to the header font when one of the images was added. It should be fixed now.<font color="darkred" size="2px">Turambar  13:19, July 4, 2011 (UTC)

Wiki Chat
Hey Turanbar I was wondering when are you going to add the new Wiki Chat that most of wikis have, so all the users on HOTD wiki can chat.

22:24, July 4, 2011 (UTC)~
 * I didn't know about that. It looks like it was just added to wikis a few days ago. I've activated it, so we now have a chat. It's through the Wikia Labs, though, so it could still have bugs to be worked out. Thanks for bringing this up.<font color="darkred" size="2px">Turambar  03:39, July 5, 2011 (UTC)

Shortening forum posts
Hey Turambar,

I've been curising in some of the forum posts and I realized that some of them are getting a bit too long. Do you think there could be a fix to this? I don't want to erase anybody's posts, but rather have like an "expansion" option.

15:01, July 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * I suppose we could use the show/hide template. We could also add older posts to an archive page, which is what I did with my talk page, though I don't think all of the forum discussions are important enough to do this with. The only problem would be that it may discourage people from reading the discussion before they reply, and they could bring up things that have already been dealt with. Then again, if the discussion is already very long, most people probably won't take the time to read it anyway. Let me know which forum topics need this the most, and I'll see what can be done.<font color="darkred" size="2px">Turambar  15:31, July 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * Such topics include the Takashi choice one, the how will Saeko die one, etc.
 * Yeah I get what you mean...and it's not like we can delete any posts too...
 * LOL such a dilemma -_- 04:33, July 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * All right, I used the show/hide template on those two. There are other long topics, but I don't see a reason to do this on posts which have been inactive for a while.<font color="darkred" size="2px">Turambar  05:08, July 14, 2011 (UTC)

Other vs. Supporting characters
What would the difference between the two groups be? BrokenSphere (Talk) 20:17, July 22, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'd like to get rid of the Main/Supporting Characters categories. "Other Characters" simply means they don't fit into one of the other groups. It's a tentative title.<font color="darkred" size="2px">Turambar  20:20, July 22, 2011 (UTC)

HOTD Universe categroy
How do you feel about renaming this Highschool of the Dead Universe? More because it sounds more encyclopedic than abbreviating and it avoids the question as to whether the official abbreviation is HOTD or HSOTD. BrokenSphere (Talk) 20:46, July 22, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm fine with that. It just seemed a little lengthy when I created that category. The official abbreviation is actually H.O.T.D., so it makes even more sense to not use the informal abbreviation. We can move further category discussion to the forum thread.<font color="darkred" size="2px">Turambar  20:58, July 22, 2011 (UTC)

IP self-reverting vandalous edits
This IP has made some vandalous edits which they later reverted, but I still think they need to be warned or talked to. BrokenSphere (Talk) 22:01, September 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I noticed that. I usually don't bother warning unregistered users because they usually don't even realize they have a talk page. If the user is too problematic, I ban them, but this case isn't that bad since the user reverted the vandalism. I'll go ahead and give the user a warning.<font color="darkred" size="2px">Turambar  01:09, September 17, 2011 (UTC)
