Thnak you Rhu.. No I am not going to start changing everything. My goal right now is to try and inventory my out of control amount of decks which will take a while. At the same time, if i see any minor errors in the already listed decks, then no harm in making corrections. Maybe I'll start a thread to point out changes if I make any

Great idea about a thread to keep track of changes

Glad to see you helping clean and improve the entries! Please be sure you fully understand the FAQs and Guidelines though, and if you do then there shouldn't be a need for a detailed audit trail, but you could also use the tail end of the description field if you had occasional concerns with significant changes you made.

No problem... one of the things i wanted to do is add the company for some of those kickstarter projects instead of KS miscellaneous but after reading your answer in PM, it's all good as is until more decks come

EDIT: I corrected the Melies red entry as that deck is known as Voyagers and added the blue Voyagers deck which is a remake of the first version of the previous year. The first Melies deck was not a Voyagers deck. Now all 3 decks are properly in database

EDIT #2: Yes i finally get that printed is the number printed and not the manufacturer. Already updated the 3 entries I had just done

Pierre,

You added duplicates of the Four Beasts decks. I'm assuming you did a search before adding, but wonder if your search was for "SiShou" and not "Four Beasts". Sparkz added them in as "Four Beasts" and did not include "Sishou" in the title. When I first saw them, I thought they should have "SiShou" in the title, but then after thinking about it and the upcoming Hellsgate deck, I realized the name is "Four Beasts" and SiShou is going to be the production company. Either way, just letting you know you have some dupes.

Great catch! I updated the new ones to be marked for future deletion (after Pierre adds the prior decks to his collection) and copied his content over to an updated description of the original ones. I also modified the older deck names to include SiShou in parenthesis for clarity which is an option listed in the guidelines.

Yeah I was going to check that last night but forgot. There was another deck, I forget which now that I thought wasn't in but I eventually found it with a different word search. I was going to go back and check on the sishou decks but didnt get around to it. Will make sure going forward to use a bunch of different word search when I cannot find a deck. Knowing some of you guys, I bet everything is in there already

Need to add in more brands like 4PM Designs, Tomlinson, MPC, Legends, maybe Expert, perhaps Deckstarter/Art of Play, Cardicians/Shape Shifters, LUX, Edgy Bros, maybe Aliens Ink, Stockholm 17, Pure Imagination Projects, Erik Mana, Merz67 perhaps, Brain Vessel, Murphy's Magic, should I continue? lol

It's just to keep lists short and simple and make it easier to find stuff.

[ecNate]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then you end up with 100 brands which makes it impossible to even navigate the drop down. As a result, we are trying to only create new brands when there are at least 5 decks under that brand and perhaps it should be even more. Of course if v2 ever comes out that won't be an issue which is also why there hasn't been a huge push to try and figure it out.

You're probably right though, there's a few that could maybe use their own groups by now, especially since v2 doesn't look like it happened yet and might be a while off yet. Search still works though.

Maybe it would be best to replace the drop down menu with a grid type list instead, would be super easy to find if every company was just listed on a page.

Haha, v2 is coming. Working my arse off tonight on it, getting scripts ready to do a mass export/import of data so I can see how it handles big data

Here's a screenshot of your shiny new admin interface ecNate
