There is no html is involved because wikimarkup is its own thing for the most part. You can create a nice page simply by looking at a pre-existing page with elements you like using the edit button and copying the formatting text. It takes maybe about 10-15 minutes to figure out the basics by trial and error, and we have a sandbox to try things out in. You can use this reference for the really basic stuff and this reference for anything more complicated. The hardest things are the templates, infoboxes, and charts but all you have to so make a list of what you want in there and someone may make one.If I knew your user page name, I could copy your stuff into it and get you started.

Maybe the policy will change come a new arc. The anime section is supposed to be anime spoiler free, and manga spoilers should always be covered regardless of location.

DCW has never had a clear policy about anime spoilers in general discussion. Far more often than not anime spoilers are uncovered because a lot of plot sensitive threads are on the general board. It seems to be status quo at this point. The boards were initially set up with little separation as far as I can tell and then there is the wiki which is a spoilerific free-for-all.

I think it's a good idea. Why don't you make a test page for one of the chemicals you have done so far, like cyanide? That way you could establish the standards for the pages in a way you think would be most sane and useful, and people would have something to critique. As far as linking goes, all of the crime infoboxes try to specify the chemical cause of death so that would be a natural place to link.

Conan is relatively reckless. He does better in more normal settings, but he can't control himself around cases at all which leaves a trail of witnesses and strange scenarios. He's tried to get better about it when he knows there is overt danger, but still screws up when cases are involved. Also he has been handed an idiot ball in the latest chapters, especially 812-814, for the sake of plot. Okiya knew Conan was Shinichi back in the paper plane case, but didn't have the absolute proof. If Okiya had bad intentions he wouldn't have teased Conan about it so openly, instead hiding that he knew to use against Conan later. Also Okiya doing it with Sera nearby may suggest Okiya doesn't view her as an enemy.

DCTP eats my posts so often these days. I hate it when I forget to copy them before posting.

To keep the rumor mill down, I want to point out that Gosho only specified the name of the boss appearing, not necessarily the actual boss himself. This is the interviewEdit: I put all the reasonably sourced interviews about the boss in the wiki page for Ano kata. Do note the disclaimer. The shocked Haibara one isn't there because no one has found a stable interview to translate and I want to avoid that level of hearsay in the wiki.

We do under the title "annoying characters", but it didn't have a poll and it got a bit heated so I think a fresh start might not be a bad idea. Everyone, please play nice.

File 812-814 (Yusaku's Unsolved Case)
Chekhov MacGuffin replied to Black Demon's topic in Manga series
DCTP has been hit by the pile of people coming. That said, no linking or anything that might piss off lawyers, please. No surprises this file. Okiya knew about Conan's identity back in the paper airplane case and finally got decisive proof. He is just having fun harassing Conan now. Sera might make a move now she suspects Okiya. I just hope this means we are reaching the end of the Bourbon arc soon.... -
Split into spoiler and non-spoiler deduction threads?
Chekhov MacGuffin replied to Chekhov MacGuffin's topic in Manga series
The spoiler free thread should be created around the time of the Wednesday Japanese release with instructions not to post until the English comes out. I don't really care who makes the thread as long as the rules make it into the first post. I think DCTP's no spoilers at all in the spoiler-free thread rule is a good one. The spoiler thread can be labelled whatever as long as they are clearly different. I think enforcing spoiler boxes within the spoiler-allowed thread is still a good idea because someone might stumble into it inadvertently, misclick on it, or whatever. I hope this answers your questions. -
But more seriously, no one has any idea when they will air new episodes, if they do at all. Nothing recently has been posted about the Magic Kaito anime as far as I know.

Chekhov MacGuffin replied to Chekhov MacGuffin's topic in Manga series
I'll implement separate threads starting next case then. -

Chekhov MacGuffin replied to Chekhov MacGuffin's topic in Manga series
DCTP just implemented a spoiler free thread for this case!!! http://forum.dctp.ws/index.php?topic=8202.0 I think I would need some more interest before implementing the same thing here because only two posters have shown interest, so a thread wouldn't go very far. -
I hope the DCTP no manga spoilers topic stays open. I miss being able to work with people to solve cases, and there doesn't seem to be enough interest here to have a separate thread.

Chekhov MacGuffin replied to Chekhov MacGuffin's topic in Manga series
It doesn't look like there is much of an audience for people who want to try to solve cases using English only, so I guess there is no need for a separate topic. -

Chekhov MacGuffin replied to Chekhov MacGuffin's topic in Manga series
I don't think it will be possible to get people to accurately label their stuff. People have trouble with spoiler boxes as it is. True, it would break discussion in two, but it is pretty much broken now for the people not reading the spoiler boxes and the no spoiler people who are way behind the spoiler people's convos. I view it as a risk decreaser, but only if there are actually enough people to post in both threads. -
The chinese chapters are generally one chapter ahead of the English translation now so it is becoming hard for English-only manga people to discuss and make deductions in a thread that is one chapter ahead of them. I want to gauge how many people here are spoiler readers versus wait for the English types so I can judge whether it would be a good idea to create a separate deduction thread for non spoiler people.

Can't find Detective Conan Live Action!!!
Chekhov MacGuffin replied to ShiroKuro's topic in Detective Conan World
Ask about it in this thread: -
They stop changing the Black Org to random people after the shinkansen case, but they managed to botch the death of Akemi Miyano. Directing wise, I think it was poor idea to change the shinkansen case to remove the black org. They could simply move the case by writing an extra filler or two to replace the slot and saved the episodes for a season ender or something.

Most people don't think Scar Akai is Akai, but is an imposter in disguise as Akai, with Bourbon being the fan favorite guess. Most people think Okiya is Akai.Here is a hint, go back to the snipe-off between Gin and the FBI and look how Akai is holding his rifle in comparison to Gin who is known left-handed, and Chianti who is right-handed. Skip ahead to paper airplane case and look at Okiya. Then move ahead to the bank robber case last chapter and look at Scar Akai's gun handling.
