<p>Just a heads up as to what is going to be happening while on my bot account. The pages titled "Song featuring VOCALOID_Name" will be moved to "VOCALOID_Name/Notable song list".</p><p>
</p><p>This will match "VOCALOID_Name/Original songs list" and make things easier to find. There will be some redlinks but I will correct that when I'm done page moving as I don't intend to leave-behind redirects.</p>

<p>So as you may have noticed, the wikia has been going through some visual updates and changes. And with that we have been looking to update our background image. </p><p>So for the background image did you think it should be just the characters, the logo, or both? </p> <script>JSSnippetsStack.push({dependencies:["/extensions/wikia/AjaxPoll/css/AjaxPoll.scss","/extensions/wikia/AjaxPoll/js/AjaxPoll.js"],callback:function(json){AjaxPoll.init(json)},id:"AjaxPoll.init"})</script><div class="ajax-poll" id="ajax-poll-E4482C9615B24F4E4251264195522C77"><div class="header">Poll </div><div id="wpPollStatusE4482C9615B24F4E4251264195522C77" class="center"> </div><form action="#" method="post" id="axPollE4482C9615B24F4E4251264195522C77"><input type="hidden" name="wpPollId" value="E4482C9615B24F4E4251264195522C77"><div id="ajax-poll-area"><div class="pollAnswer" id="pollAnswer2"><div class="pollAnswerName"><label for="pollAnswerRadioE4482C9615B24F4E4251264195522C77"><input type="radio" name="wpPollRadioE4482C9615B24F4E4251264195522C77" id="wpPollRadioE4482C9615B24F4E4251264195522C77" value="2">characters </label></div><div class="pollAnswerVotes" onmouseover='span=this.getElementsByTagName("span")[0];tmpPollVar=span.innerHTML;span.innerHTML=span.title;span.title="";' onmouseout='span=this.getElementsByTagName("span")[0];span.title=span.innerHTML;span.innerHTML=tmpPollVar;'><span id="wpPollVoteE4482C9615B24F4E4251264195522C77-2" title="10.81% of all votes">12</span><div class="wpPollBarE4482C9615B24F4E4251264195522C77" id="wpPollBarE4482C9615B24F4E4251264195522C77-2" style="width: 10.81%; border:0;"> </div></div></div><div class="pollAnswer" id="pollAnswer3"><div class="pollAnswerName"><label for="pollAnswerRadioE4482C9615B24F4E4251264195522C77"><input type="radio" name="wpPollRadioE4482C9615B24F4E4251264195522C77" id="wpPollRadioE4482C9615B24F4E4251264195522C77" value="3">logo </label></div><div class="pollAnswerVotes" onmouseover='span=this.getElementsByTagName("span")[0];tmpPollVar=span.innerHTML;span.innerHTML=span.title;span.title="";' onmouseout='span=this.getElementsByTagName("span")[0];span.title=span.innerHTML;span.innerHTML=tmpPollVar;'><span id="wpPollVoteE4482C9615B24F4E4251264195522C77-3" title="15.32% of all votes">17</span><div class="wpPollBarE4482C9615B24F4E4251264195522C77" id="wpPollBarE4482C9615B24F4E4251264195522C77-3" style="width: 15.32%; border:0;"> </div></div></div><div class="pollAnswer" id="pollAnswer4"><div class="pollAnswerName"><label for="pollAnswerRadioE4482C9615B24F4E4251264195522C77"><input type="radio" name="wpPollRadioE4482C9615B24F4E4251264195522C77" id="wpPollRadioE4482C9615B24F4E4251264195522C77" value="4">both </label></div><div class="pollAnswerVotes" onmouseover='span=this.getElementsByTagName("span")[0];tmpPollVar=span.innerHTML;span.innerHTML=span.title;span.title="";' onmouseout='span=this.getElementsByTagName("span")[0];span.title=span.innerHTML;span.innerHTML=tmpPollVar;'><span id="wpPollVoteE4482C9615B24F4E4251264195522C77-4" title="73.87% of all votes">82</span><div class="wpPollBarE4482C9615B24F4E4251264195522C77" id="wpPollBarE4482C9615B24F4E4251264195522C77-4" style="width: 73.87%; border:0;"> </div></div></div>

<p>1st Place has just released some crossfade for the album IA/04 on their SoundCloud. I can't help but noticed that these tracks: </p>

• https://soundcloud.com/1stplace/01-stay-gold-song-by-cozmic-age
• https://soundcloud.com/1stplace/02-conqueror-song-by-sendra
• https://soundcloud.com/1stplace/03-song-by-koto-hamana-mes-kaido-sadaharu-yagi-edgar-hayao-konishi
• https://soundcloud.com/1stplace/04-life-love-peace-song-by-mondo-grosso

<p>are (mostly) written in English and the pronunciations is practically impossible if the Japanese VB are used to mimic them (notice how IA pronounced the [@r]). </p><p>What do you guys think? </p>

<p>96neko I love you! And she sang it straight without cracking any jokes! </p><p>https://youtu.be/1aRpIc_LLfQ </p>

<p>I know the timing is bad, sorry. </p><p>Since the Vocaloid wiki's song and album pages are rapidly expanding every week, I wanted to know if now would be the time to start figuring out category ideas. I was planning on reducing the amount of steps needed to maintain a producer page, so that means retiring the "Infobox Song" and "Infobox discography". </p><p>The Vocaloid Lyrics wiki already does something like this, but since they do not have producer pages they link back to this wiki as their source. </p> <script>JSSnippetsStack.push({dependencies:["/extensions/wikia/AjaxPoll/css/AjaxPoll.scss","/extensions/wikia/AjaxPoll/js/AjaxPoll.js"],callback:function(json){AjaxPoll.init(json)},id:"AjaxPoll.init"})</script><div class="ajax-poll" id="ajax-poll-B5629EB0AA7808F5BC42C20B9C9EEAEC"><div class="header">Categorize producer works? </div><div id="wpPollStatusB5629EB0AA7808F5BC42C20B9C9EEAEC" class="center"> </div><form action="#" method="post" id="axPollB5629EB0AA7808F5BC42C20B9C9EEAEC"><input type="hidden" name="wpPollId" value="B5629EB0AA7808F5BC42C20B9C9EEAEC"><div id="ajax-poll-area"><div class="pollAnswer" id="pollAnswer2"><div class="pollAnswerName"><label for="pollAnswerRadioB5629EB0AA7808F5BC42C20B9C9EEAEC"><input type="radio" name="wpPollRadioB5629EB0AA7808F5BC42C20B9C9EEAEC" id="wpPollRadioB5629EB0AA7808F5BC42C20B9C9EEAEC" value="2">Yes </label></div><div class="pollAnswerVotes" onmouseover='span=this.getElementsByTagName("span")[0];tmpPollVar=span.innerHTML;span.innerHTML=span.title;span.title="";' onmouseout='span=this.getElementsByTagName("span")[0];span.title=span.innerHTML;span.innerHTML=tmpPollVar;'><span id="wpPollVoteB5629EB0AA7808F5BC42C20B9C9EEAEC-2" title="91.94% of all votes">57</span><div class="wpPollBarB5629EB0AA7808F5BC42C20B9C9EEAEC" id="wpPollBarB5629EB0AA7808F5BC42C20B9C9EEAEC-2" style="width: 91.94%; border:0;"> </div></div></div><div class="pollAnswer" id="pollAnswer3"><div class="pollAnswerName"><label for="pollAnswerRadioB5629EB0AA7808F5BC42C20B9C9EEAEC"><input type="radio" name="wpPollRadioB5629EB0AA7808F5BC42C20B9C9EEAEC" id="wpPollRadioB5629EB0AA7808F5BC42C20B9C9EEAEC" value="3">No </label></div><div class="pollAnswerVotes" onmouseover='span=this.getElementsByTagName("span")[0];tmpPollVar=span.innerHTML;span.innerHTML=span.title;span.title="";' onmouseout='span=this.getElementsByTagName("span")[0];span.title=span.innerHTML;span.innerHTML=tmpPollVar;'><span id="wpPollVoteB5629EB0AA7808F5BC42C20B9C9EEAEC-3" title="8.06% of all votes">5</span><div class="wpPollBarB5629EB0AA7808F5BC42C20B9C9EEAEC" id="wpPollBarB5629EB0AA7808F5BC42C20B9C9EEAEC-3" style="width: 8.06%; border:0;"> </div></div></div>

<p>Hi everyone, I'm not sure if Mistery already posted this, but Vsinger (Vocaloid China) and Zyon RhythmGame have collaborated~ Their page needs 10,000 likes before their official launch in October in order for the game to be free on Google Play and the App Store! </p><p>It's (obviously) a music rhythm game that will feature the Chinese Vocaloid songs along with the Chinese Vocaloid characters and the company's own original characters. From what I've seen of the development video, the graphics and design of the game are overall quite eyecatching, and they are planning to release it so that no internet connection is needed to play! Sweet!  </p><p>Please go give their page a like! </p><p>Development Footage: Preview Video </p>

<p>Wiki projects:Translations page </p><p>For those who can translate or find informative links about Vocaloid development. </p>

• Template:Derivatives(x4). This was created August 22, 2014‎, and the intention was to replace the Example of Usage template on the VOCALOID articles so that it prevents people from adding more songs than required, as you can see a number of times people end up adding six to eight songs on a EOU template before anyone can catch it. The most recent being with Zunko's section.

<hr>

• Another reason is due to me wanting to tighten up the Examples of Usage section. Since there are people requesting more tabs (such as with the Kagamines), this will at least be easier to track.

<hr>

• The Derivatives(x4) functions the same as Derivatives, only there are more parameters to deal with, however, it is easy to figure out because I used one digit for each parameter (i.e. 1, 2, 3, and 4). So they only go up to four.
• The additions are triggered by adding "x", and this is only for Nico, YouTube, and SoundCloud (for embed; thus optional), and Etc (which is uncommon to use).

<hr>

• Each boxes color can change as one whole (using vcolor) or individually using its called parameters. By default they are all teal as Derivatives is shown to be.

<hr>

• Each box can also switch its thumbnail. I removed the capitalized version of this to at least reduce the need for them.
• In relation to this, the parameter known as " icon " will need to be unused for the time being, as I haven't figured out how to set it correctly.

<p>Much like I did with Music Work in Progress; the main WIP category is very jarring to look at, you don't know what specifically needs to be worked on unless you click. So I will sort out the Producer, Novels, and various whatevers so that everything goes into its own cat and has its own template. I hope this won't confuse anyone. </p><p><s>I will link the cats here when I am finished.</s> </p><p>These can now be found in Category:Site maintenance. </p>

• I moved Producer pages out of the "Outdated" category, given how many pages there are and depending on how active the producer is the information (mainly the content list) will always be outdated by some means. The ProducerWIP can state what needs to be done. Meanwhile, the Outdated category should be reserved for subject articles.
