Image categories
Hi! Argy, could you tell me about this image category-thing? Is it simply for categorizing images found on pages, or do you want to create image galleries separate from the articles themselves? The former would seem somewhat unnecessary, considering that images of Pokota, for example, are all found in the Pokota article, thus are already categorized implicitly. --Pip25 16:18, 13 August 2008 (UTC)


 * I am intending to use the image categories as both a way of categorizing images located in articles and images that don't necessarily belong in an article but are related. For instance, the Category:Pocota images category would hold several types of images: 1) screenshots of Pocota from the anime, 2) scans of Pocota from the manga, 3) official production art. The production art, for example, isn't always practical to include in the article, but it is relevant to research and canon. In any case, anime screenshots can span across different episodes (see EP01 (Slayers TRY) for examples), so characters will appear in images more often than just in their own articles. --Argy 21:45, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi there Argy! There has been some controversy regarding Jillas' full name in his new article at KanzakaDex. As you introduced the name in the manual of style, could you tell us where can we find it so it can be cited? (See the talk page for details.) --Pip25 16:18, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Argy, Orochidayu found a tidbit on your Slayers Uncensored site regarding Chaotic Blue's human form. Did you get that from an official source or was that just a rumor? It would be nice to put a more direct citation to that page. --Pip25 08:20, 5 October 2008 (UTC)


 * I don't remember where it came from, sorry. It's probably best to regard it as a rumor. --Argy 16:05, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Is this a real spell? Because I can't find it anywhere on here.
Aqua Kaleido (Japanese: 水片鏡アクア・カレイド )

 * Possibly, though it's a crossover game, so some of the skills might not be Slayers-related. I would suggest not creating an entry for it unless we can find it used or listed anywhere else (guidebooks, stories, etc.) --Pip25 (talk) 18:32, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
 * It is a real Slayers spell, it doesn't appear on any guide as it first appeared on novel 16. It's literally a new spell Amelia created with the help of Saillune's Sorcerer's Guide, although in the novel it's used to block the Laser Breath of one of the new Zanaffers. --shansito (talk) 21:00, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Oooh, interesting! Then we'd definitely need an article for it I think. If we only knew what category it belongs to... --Pip25 (talk) 22:16, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
 * We can guess it probably belongs to Water magic, both for the "Aqua" and 水 mizu/water on it's name, but that's all we have so it wouldn't be 100% sure. I list it under a generic "other spells with official names" section (along with other 19 spells...) =P --shansito (talk) 22:50, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

Dragon Slave, Sword of Light, Visfarank & Dynast Breath in Tales of the Rays.
Can we add these videos, since their official sources?


 * Dragon Slave
 * Sword of Light
 * Visfarank
 * Dynast Breath

 * We are pretty much walking a tightrope with these images and videos, since none of them are licensed by the wiki (obviously), we can only link them with the fair use rationale. Thus I would suggest that we only add such videos to articles that were missing a good demonstration of the spell/magic item in question. These four articles in particular I think have plenty of material already. --Pip25 (talk) 08:53, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

Is this official English localization?
—NDS123 (talk) 10:11 pm 8 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Japanese
 * English
 * Um, yes, the second is indeed from the English dub, why? --Pip25 (talk) 23:44, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

How about this one?
Dragon Slayer (Japanese: 竜を滅せし者ドラゴン・スレイヤー ) —NDS123 (talk) 9:36 am 24 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I think this move is called "Dragon Slayer" because Xelloss got this exact title back in the Kōma War (though he does not like it very much) and the guy in the video is using Xelloss' costume. So it's not actually a spell, but a reference. Pip25 (talk) 20:56, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
