==Official Info==
* An average eighth-grader, the kind you could find anywhere. Even her bow-wielding magical girl form projects an air of kind friendliness. Her choker bears an impressively-sized red gem.
* Ms. Aoki’s Design Check!: I drew her keeping in mind that as the main character she needs to be average, but also an exceptionally good girl. Hence her puffy, high-placed twin tails. The design and color of her ribbons took a lot of work, but in the end calmed down to something simple.
* Magical girl outfit: Madoka was drawn to be the very image of a magical girl. I added an almost fairytale-ish hints, so hopefully female viewers will be charmed by her as well. (Aoki)
* Full of tiny frills, with ribbons arranged at the neck, waist, and on the shoes. It’s perfectly “cute”, and seemingly unsuited for combat, but…
* School uniform: Designed to convey the classy image of a private girls’ school, while not being -too- normal. Its distinguishing point is the small hole at the nape of the neck. (Aoki)
* Of the heroines shown here, Madoka has the most childish body. Her legs are clad in pure, virginal white over-knee socks.
* Kyuubey, Homura and Mami confirmed that Madoka has great magical potential.

==Fun Facts==
*The first character of her last name (鹿) means "deer". The last character (目) means "eye."
*Her first name is written in hiragana, which has no particular meaning. However, when written in kanji, it can mean "round" or "tranquil" (円か).
*Madoka has many stuffed animals similar in appearance to [[Kyuubey]] in [[Madoka's House#Madoka's Room|her room]].

== How to edit sidebar links? ==

How do we edit sidebar links on the left? I'm trying to figure out how to add additional links under Content and Community Content. Can these sections be linked to categories? --[[User:Sayaka|Sayaka]] 17:17, 18 January 2011 (CST)
: A sysop has to edit [[MediaWiki:Sidebar]] and yes, it can link even to categories. -–[[Special:Contributions/89.24.197.43|89.24.197.43]] 11:28, 18 January 2011 (CST)
:: Sysop here, how do you want it to be? --[[User:Homerun-chan|Homerun-chan]] 18:43, 18 January 2011 (CST)

== Design and visuals ==
Design of the main page: any wishes? Or should it stay the way it is? --[[User:Madokaanon|Madokaanon]] 17:26, 18 January 2011 (CST)
: As stated on /a/, I think we should remove at least one of the thumbnails and put a big banner instead. I'm okay with staying with the original skin as long as the homepage doesn't look too boring (but not too messy either) --[[User:Homerun-chan|Homerun-chan]] 17:45, 18 January 2011 (CST)
::How about something like [http://i53.tinypic.com/oppmjr.png this] as a banner? Yeah I didn't put much effort in it and the size is also wrong since this is just and example, if we take something like that, we should remove the characters thumbnail as we have the characters in our banner. --[[User:Madokaanon|Madokaanon]] 17:57, 18 January 2011 (CST)
:::That madoka_logo needs to go, or at least not be positioned where it is. It just looks like clutter next to the character shot. –[[Special:Contributions/81.178.128.41|881.178.128.41]] 18:40, 18 January 2011 (CST)
::Yeah I like it. It's colorful and stuff so I think it might look good. May lack some text though --[[User:Homerun-chan|Homerun-chan]] 18:43, 18 January 2011
:::Needs more runes. --[[User:Nvm|Nvm]] 19:25, 18 January 2011 (CST)

:Its 6:03am, I'll do a layout for how I think the wiki should look tomorrow, not sure about the suggested image for a banner, its too rainbow. --[[User:Sayaka|Sayaka]] 13:04, 18 January 2011 (CST)

:: [http://wiki.puella-magi.net/File:Puella_magi_wiki_v1.png Simple skin idea for Puella Magi Wiki]; I've created a design mockup of how I think the site could look with a simple gradient header. The rest of the wiki colours could stay the same, I quite like the simplicity. --[[User:Sayaka|Sayaka]] 14:23, 19 January 2011 (CST)

::: Looks great, I think we should use it. --[[User:Madokaanon|Madokaanon]] 14:25, 19 January 2011 (CST)

::: Fund it. [[User:Mic2070|Mic2070]] 14:26, 19 January 2011 (CST)

::: Looks nice so far. Though you might want to do something with the tabs. —[[User:0x99|0x99]] 14:28, 19 January 2011 (CST)

::: Nice and colorful, but there's something wrong with the tabs on the left (too white, so they don't fit well). If possible, how about making them semi-transparent or using a color that fits better with the banner? Idk how much we can customize mediawiki though --[[User:Homerun-chan|Homerun-chan]] 14:41, 19 January 2011 (CST)

::: It should be possible to be transparent PNG gradients in for the tabs so they fade into the background, I'll make a gradient now to test. Have written [http://wiki.puella-magi.net/File_talk:Puella_magi_wiki_header_v1_wlogo.jpg instructions for modifying the layout/CSS] to use the background image. --[[User:Sayaka|Sayaka]] 14:51, 19 January 2011 (CST)

::: Good work on the change, I think it adds a bit of colour! Hope you like it everyone. Have made a transparent gradient for the tabs, and [http://wiki.puella-magi.net/File_talk:Puella_magi_wiki_tab_gradients.png instructions for skinning them]. --[[User:Sayaka|Sayaka]] 15:23, 19 January 2011 (CST)

:::: That one adds a bit too much transparent ghosting. so I modified it a bit.
:::: It should looks OK now. I think. Thanks for your hard work!
:::: Also, F5 if you don't see the new theme/tabs. --[[User:0x99|0x99]] 15:29, 19 January 2011 (CST)

::::: I like the way they fade out on the right-hand side but it looks kind of strange on the left. --[[User:E|E]] 16:15, 19 January 2011 (CST)

::::: I agree, the faded tabs look ok on the right, but they look washed out on the left - I think they should be more opaque with a defined top edge. --[[User:Sayaka|Sayaka]] 16:57, 19 January 2011 (CST)

::: I like it! The tabs seem a bit too tall to me, though I do like the gradients. Nice work! --[[User:E|E]] 15:25, 19 January 2011 (CST)

:The madoka small banner[http://www.madoka-magica.com/link/] would look good in the bottom right corner. See [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:FAQ#How_do_I_change_the_footer.3F] if it interests you, sysop --[[User:Mic2070|Mic2070]] 19:02, 18 January 2011 (CST)

I thought about a simpler design and as posted on /a/ here's some upgrade of the mainpage [http://i56.tinypic.com/2a77s6h.png], should we use it or shouldn't we? --[[User:Madokaanon|Madokaanon]] 14:28, 19 January 2011 (CST)
:I like this one. Use it! —[[User:0x99|0x99]] 14:31, 19 January 2011 (CST)
::Well, I saved it, if too many people have objections they could just change it back. --[[User:Madokaanon|Madokaanon]]

Coloring of the boxes, 0x99 and I both colored one box in another color because there were two pink boxes, so witch should be changed back to pink? --[[User:Madokaanon|Madokaanon]] 22:09, 19 January 2011 (CST)
:I think the current one works OK already. No need to change it back for the time being. --[[User:0x99|0x99]] 16:12, 19 January 2011 (CST)
:The yellow + blue combo on the community links first row looks kinda strange IMO. Maybe swap it with the other table? (so, having yellow for the Content links and blue for the Community links). Aside from that, I think it's okay --[[User:Homerun-chan|Homerun-chan]] 16:34, 19 January 2011 (CST)
::Tried swapped it around, not as good as I expected. --[[User:0x99|0x99]] 17:28, 19 January 2011 (CST)
:::Yellow looks good to me. I agree that both should be the same color, just for aesthetic quality. I previewed it with both yellow boxes and it looks pretty good in my opinion. Nothing huge, though. --[[User:E|<font color="#FF1483">'''e'''</font>]] 17:35, 19 January 2011 (CST)

i really dislike the background picture. plain one was more then enough . --[[User:Saveol2009|Saveol2009]] 16:23, 19 January 2011 (CST)
you could at least make the old design an option so i can change into it in my browser --[[User:Saveol2009|Saveol2009]] 16:37, 19 January 2011 (CST)
:I'm trying to turn it into a proper skin, currently it's just a bunch of CSS overrides inside [[MediaWiki:Common.css]]. It may take a while since I never wrote MediaWiki skin before. I'll update it here when it's done. --[[User:0x99|0x99]] 16:41, 19 January 2011 (CST)
::ok everything is fine then --[[User:Saveol2009|Saveol2009]] 16:44, 19 January 2011 (CST)
:::could you put up the old design until you will have the skin --[[User:Saveol2009|Saveol2009]] 16:49, 19 January 2011 (CST)
::::No, since you are the only one who complains about the skin and there are more people enjoying it, so you are the one who should wait, not the majority who likes it. --[[User:Madokaanon|Madokaanon]] 16:54, 19 January 2011 (CST)
:::::if the majority is madokaanon; 0x99; homerun-chan vs myself i guess then i should comply --[[User:Saveol2009|Saveol2009]] 16:59, 19 January 2011 (CST)
:::::: As 0x99 said, you can change the skin in your preferences to make it display differently for just you. --[[User:E|<font color="#FF1483">'''e'''</font>]] 17:10, 19 January 2011 (CST)

::::That's not possible currently, since most people already agrees with the change. I'll be quick to put up the new skin in place. Promised! For the time being, you may want to change the skin to something else (e.g. MonoBook) in the [[Special:Preferences]] page in Appearances tab. --[[User:0x99|0x99]] 17:04, 19 January 2011 (CST)
::'''Done'''. If you want to use the old Wikipedia-like skin, choose '''Vector''' in the [[Special:Preferences]] page in Appearances tab. --[[User:0x99|0x99]] 01:29, 20 January 2011 (CST)

:::very much appreciated --[[User:Saveol2009|Saveol2009]] 07:43, 20 January 2011 (CST)
[[File:1295313727055.png|thumb|250px]]
This picture is much better and more fit for the default main page skin. if you web designers are gonna make one i will us it instead. --[[User:Saveol2009|Saveol2009]] 07:54, 21 January 2011 (CST)
:Could ever agree with something other do? I don't want another character shot out on the front page because we already have them in the banner. --[[User:Madokaanon|Madokaanon]]

== Refactoring the facts-speculations-finds pages ==

Some anons suggested that the theories page looks like a unattracting blob of text. Some other mentionned that it would be nice to be able to speculah'te over the trivia and observations. Yet another (or a samefag, that's not the point) started the Finds section because his content didn't fit anywhere else. So I think it's time to remodel all this a bit.
How about this:
*We rename the Trivia section to "Facts and Observations" or something of the like. On that page, we make a section per episode, then one subsection per observation. This subsection has the fact itself (matching with a pic if relevant), and a subsubsection where we write observations and speculations as one-liners, just like the Character pages. We should also make a visual difference between pure speculation and pure observations
*The texts in Shaftspeak are posted on the Runes page (or a subpage). For each interresting bit of text, we post a screencap, a translation, and observations/speculations. Same as before, one-liners are enough.
*The Theories page hence only has the general theories, the ones that combines pieces of speculations together. I think theories about Kamijou, for example, could be moved somewhere else (in the Characters page for instance)
*We can delete the Finds page since it's redundant with the rest.

How does that sound to you? --[[User:Homerun-chan|Homerun-chan]] 22:10, 18 January 2011 (CST)

:So by your suggestion, we gonna have
:# [[Facts and Observations]] as a merge between current Trivia and Finds
:# [[Speculah:Runes]] for runes deciphering for each episode
:# [[Speculah:Theories]] for general theories (move all Faust, etc. stuff into F&O)
:I have no problem up to this point, but I don't think character speculation should belongs in characters page. They should stay in one place, possibly sub section inside the Facts and Observation. --[[User:0x99|0x99]] 16:39, 18 January 2011 (CST)
::Well, now that I look at the speculah page carefully (my ISP is fucking up my connection at the moment so I had a hard time surfing on the wiki while writing this), there isn't much character-specific theories, aside from Kamijou (who didn't even get his own page to begin with). There are a few speculations on Homura's page however; that's more like what I was talking about (you know, small doubts/suspicions could go to the character's page, while longer theories would get their own page) --[[User:Homerun-chan|Homerun-chan]] 17:06, 18 January 2011 (CST)

:no problem as long as the content/the time i have invested is not destroyed P.S do you write the signature manually ? --[[User:Saveol2009|Saveol2009]] 22:56, 18 January 2011
::Just write four tilde after your comment and you'll be fine. --[[User:0x99|0x99]] 17:00, 18 January 2011 (CST)
:::thanks --[[User:Saveol2009|Saveol2009]] 17:04, 18 January 2011 (CST)
:::Thanks for the reminder by the way, I always forget about that --[[User:Homerun-chan|Homerun-chan]] 17:06, 18 January 2011 (CST)

Suggestion: all theories/speculah, but not facts/observations, should be tagged with the current episode number. Then when wikifags read them they will know how out of date they might be, and whether they might need updating with new information (at which point the ep# is updated) or deleted because subsequent episodes have disproven/obsolete.
Bonus question: SHOULD we delete them? or move them to a "Defunct speculah" section? [[User:Yil|Yil]] 12:23, 19 January 2011 (CST)
:dont you think speculah and the translations of the captured pieces from the anime could be done below each find as there is plenty of free space and so to not waste it http://wiki.puella-magi.net/Speculah:Finds --[[User:Saveol2009|Saveol2009]] 12:32, 19 January 2011 (CST)

P.S i moved the contents of [[Speculah:Who is Kamijou]] to [[Kamijou]] should i just delete the former page ? --[[User:Saveol2009|Saveol2009]] 13:00, 19 January 2011 (CST)

:: [[Speculah:Who is Kamijou]] page deleted. -[[User:0x99|0x99]] 14:30, 19 January 2011 (CST)

== general ==

the banner that countdowns the time till the the new ep airs should link to [mms://hinamizawa.jp/livejptv this] stream. i think it has proven it self to be reliable. --[[User:Saveol2009|Saveol2009]] 13:45, 20 January 2011 (CST)
:Good idea. How did people find that link anyway? The index page of the site leads nowhere. Also, I believe mms://stream.gundam.eu/mbs is more reliable. (it's constantly up and has been available for a long time-- early last year, at least) --[[User:E|<font color="#FF1483">'''e'''</font>]] 17:41, 20 January 2011 (CST)
::when madoka started airing at mbs suddenly sound was out of sync with picture. also hinamizawa has a much bigger screen size. i found it in live watching thread. --[[User:Saveol2009|Saveol2009]] 19:21, 20 January 2011 (CST)
Are there people here who hang on IRC? Is there a need for an IRC channel? #puella-magi on rizon appears to be free as of now. --[[User:Piparkaq|Piparkaq]] 16:25, 20 January 2011 (CST)
* Scratch that, snagged it before somebody else does. Need more retards and speculah on IRC --[[User:Piparkaq|Piparkaq]] 16:29, 20 January 2011 (CST)
:good idea Piparkaq . we may commute much faster now. --[[User:Saveol2009|Saveol2009]] 19:21, 20 January 2011 (CST)

== Refactoring again ==

Now that [[Episode 3]] article is being created, I believe we should refactoring Wiki structure again, hopefully the last time, in this way to reduce some redundancy in editing and make some room for future expansion:

('''Note''': Articles not listed here are left untouched.)
;[[Episodes]], [[Episode 1]], [[Episode 2]], [[Episode 3]], ...
:Replacing [[Deciphering the runes#Translated screencaps|Translated runes]]
:Replacing episode section of [[Facts and Observations]]
:Possibly replacing episode section of [[Speculah:Images]]
:Any relevant details regarding the episode, including Urobuchi's trivia tweet, etc.
:External links to interesting articles discussion the episode.
;[[Library]] (someone should come up with a better name)
:Replacing [[Translated Official Documents]]
:Replacing general section of [[Facts and Observations]]
:If this one gets too production-centric, we might as well name it [[Production]]
;[[Articles]]
:Replacing [[Speculah:Theories]]
:External articles regarding overall plot, analyzing designs, series review, etc.
;[[Media]]
:Replacing [[Speculah:Images]]
:Replacing [[Speculah:Image Packs]]
:Replacing [[Speculah:Tube Dubber]]
:Replacing [[Teasers]]
;[[Threads]]
:Replacing [[Speculah:Threads]]

The point of this is to make the Wiki a bit more organized, with all relevant informations in one place. Editing should also be easier since the "what page should I this content belongs" problem should be no more. How does that sound? --[[User:0x99|0x99]] 01:07, 21 January 2011 (CST)

:"what page should I this content belongs" .never had this problem before. with all relevant informations in one place. impossible - what is not relevant to you might be relevant to others. for example new comers might have to struggle to comprehend the dry facts presented at some of the pages. i for one want to help them by making the content more interesting. --[[User:Saveol2009]] 09:45, 21 January 2011 (CST)
::Not relevant to me, but relevant to that episode. What I meant was it is better if we have an article structured like this:
:::'''Episode 1'''
:::*Summary
:::*Runes
:::*Findings
:::*Trivia
:::*External links
::Than three articles discussing about one episode. Maybe the general finding page will remain, if someone want overall view of references, however I think adding category, e.g. "[[:Category:Faust reference]]" might works better in this case. --[[User:0x99|0x99]] 04:00, 21 January 2011 (CST)
:::you may do that. infact i wouldnt want to limit your freedom of choice so you can edit as much as you like if it doesnt concern my work. --[[User:Saveol2009|Saveol2009]] 04:11, 21 January 2011 (CST)

: cont. what i advice is for the first layer - " the surface " - could be like the traditional wiki with dry facts and content everybody agrees on but i d like that at least my pages/work should be spared by branching of the surface. like that Gertrude lair page might be referenced for example at characters/ gertrude so if you decide to remove the links from the main page its not orphaned and unknown. --[[User:Saveol2009|Saveol2009]] 04:07, 21 January 2011 (CST)
:: No I'm not replacing those stuff. This is mostly focused on episode contents, e.g. rune deciphering, findings. They're not being removed, just reorganized so they're a bit easier to find. --[[User:0x99|0x99]] 04:20, 21 January 2011 (CST)
:::if you will not then some one else will but then again it might be for the better. thats why i advice it to strip it all already - take what you want from that page instead of moving it. --[[User:Saveol2009|Saveol2009]] 04:33, 21 January 2011 (CST)
:I think the outline makes a lot of sense, especially for the Episodes. Splitting up the translated runes episode by episode makes a lot more sense. Facts and Observations probably should just be merged into these episode pages too. I'm not sure that we need to split off Translated Official Documents into its own section, it seems fine in its current section with the other translated official info from the official website which is in the Glossary, Location, and Characters pages. [[User:Oatmeal|Oatmeal]] 04:07, 21 January 2011 (CST)
::Facts and Observations probably should just be merged into these episode pages too. again this is someones work. not mine tho so idk i imagine it might be painful for the creator of the page to have his work striped off and basically annihilated. so if you want to get rid of that page from the surface you may do that. take the fact you want from this page and reference it to there. --[[User:Saveol2009|Saveol2009]] 04:18, 21 January 2011 (CST)
:::No contents are being "striped off" or "annihilated", they're just being moved. --[[User:0x99|0x99]] 04:23, 21 January 2011 (CST)
::::merger is pretty much stripping off because otherwise it will grow too big --[[User:Saveol2009|Saveol2009]] 04:26, 21 January 2011 (CST)
:::::If we don't move them into episode page today, [[Deciphering the runes#Translated screencaps|Translated runes]] and [[Facts and Observations]] will grow too large to require a split anyway. Again, no contents are removed, they're just being moved into other article. Also, characters, locations, glossary, etc. are left untouched. --[[User:0x99|0x99]] 04:36, 21 January 2011 (CST)
::::::no they wont grow if you remove the links from sidebar. the new edits will happen on the episode section --[[User:Saveol2009|Saveol2009]] 04:55, 21 January 2011 (CST)
::If we look at [[Translated Official Documents]], I think the one about Mami's special move belongs to [[Episode 2]], and about Kyubey "cuteness" belongs to [[Episode 3]]. Stuff that are left on that page are mostly production-related documents. If we also merge [[Facts and Observations]] into episodes, then the only thing left in that page would that section about ''Puella Maga'', which I believe can falls into "Trivia" or "Note" section inside the document article instead. (Drop "Translated Official" and it works, I guess.) --[[User:0x99|0x99]] 04:36, 21 January 2011 (CST)

==Official Info==
* An average eighth-grader, the kind you could find anywhere. Even her bow-wielding magical girl form projects an air of kind friendliness. Her choker bears an impressively-sized red gem.
* Ms. Aoki’s Design Check!: I drew her keeping in mind that as the main character she needs to be average, but also an exceptionally good girl. Hence her puffy, high-placed twin tails. The design and color of her ribbons took a lot of work, but in the end calmed down to something simple.
* Magical girl outfit: Madoka was drawn to be the very image of a magical girl. I added an almost fairytale-ish hints, so hopefully female viewers will be charmed by her as well. (Aoki)
* Full of tiny frills, with ribbons arranged at the neck, waist, and on the shoes. It’s perfectly “cute”, and seemingly unsuited for combat, but…
* School uniform: Designed to convey the classy image of a private girls’ school, while not being -too- normal. Its distinguishing point is the small hole at the nape of the neck. (Aoki)
* Of the heroines shown here, Madoka has the most childish body. Her legs are clad in pure, virginal white over-knee socks.
* Kyuubey, Homura and Mami confirmed that Madoka has great potential

==Fun Facts==
*The first character of her last name (鹿) means "deer". The last character (目) means "eye."
*Her first name is written in hiragana, which has no particular meaning. However, when written in kanji, it can mean "round" or "tranquil" (円か).
*Madoka has many stuffed animals similar in appearance to [[Kyuubey]] in [[Madoka's House#Madoka's Room|her room]].

==Fun Facts==
*In Japanese, his name is a mixture of hiragana and katakana.
*People still argue as to how to write is name. Is it Kyubey or Kyuubey?

==Speculations==
*Many fans believe [[Speculah:Kyuubey_is_Evil_Theory|Kyuubey is evil]] and believe he/she should not be trusted.
*According to the same theory, it is likely that Kyuubey is the messenger of a greater entity that has its own agenda.
*Some think Kyubey's real form is that of a red devil and his/her white fur acts as a cover as indicated by tears rather than bleeding in Episode 1.
