[edit] New format

~~a new version of the list is being assembled at List of Dragon Ball characters/T1 that will include all characters of the Dragon Ball series'.BCKILLa~~

New format implemented. BCKILLa 18:59, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I would like to see more references to the original names of the characters (the evil dragons, for instance). These newfangled dub names confuse me, since some of them are completely off the mark. --Julian Grybowski 02:29, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Agreed. This page is all over the place, with some characters being listed by their Japanese names, some by their American dub names, and some of them don't mention one or the other. Also, some key characters are missing, some need to be elaborated on, and some are just... strange. The S

[edit] Symbols

I think we need a new picture to represent characters who are in the anime but not the manga. Beowulph 18:45, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Do you mean filler characters? Sure. Infinare 19:06, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Page length

The page is way to large, I think we have to break it down.

May I suggest we try List of Dragon Ball manga characters and List of Dragon Ball non-manga characters? That should break it down by about 1/2 I think. Beowulph 16:21, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

That might help, but a great deal of information is just crap. Fallacies and dub names abound. Needs a lot of cleanup.--193.195.185.254 00:45, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

I'll give a few days and, if there are no objections, go ahead and change it then. Beowulph 01:03, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Supreme Kai

'Supreme Kai' is refrenced in many dragonball z pages but i cant find a page descibing who he is since i forgot. Anyone please provide me a link and one of us can make it easier for users to find information regarding this person. Tutmosis 02:52, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

He is the East Kaiôshin, the small purple-skinned character with the white mohawk that appears at the World Tournamnet, warning Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Piccolo and the others of the threat of Babidi and his plan to awaken Majin Buu. He later fuses with Kibito using the Potara earrings. He doesn't have a page to himself at this time.Voice of Treason 03:10, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

Please see Kaio. René van Buuren 12:31, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Proposal: Alphabetical Order

I think we should list all the characters in alphabetic order not when they appear (that can be put into the description). Please share your opinion. 00:17, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] this page is fucked

ive done a bit more, but this is gonna take a long time. gotta go. lots that need to be sorted at List of Dragon Ball characters/sorting. Plough | talk to me 23:13, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

I'll say. What happened? A lot of the movie villains are gone, and I don't mean gone to other cats either. Just out-and-out gone. Papacha 06:55, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

they are in List of other Aliens in Dragon Ball unless they are saiyans nameks or androids, or cooler who is on the freeza page

This page may not be allowed in Wikipedia. Please see WP:NOT guidelines, point two: Mere collections of internal links, except for disambiguation pages when an article title is ambiguous, and for structured lists to assist with the organisation of articles. I suggest making this a disambiguation page. -- ReyBrujo 18:55, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] seperate articles

I think that many characters deserve their own page. Characters like Recoome, General Tao, and Guldo are important enough to have their own article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Buster Sword (talk • contribs) .

i agree with Mercenary Tao having his own page, and i also think the Red Ribbon Army should, but not individual Ginyu Force members. Plough | talk to me 10:30, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

This page should be some sort of table or list. The page looks terrible as it is. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 201.114.97.174 (talk • contribs) .

[edit] Questions

1. How can I turn A word into a link? The blue ones.

2. How can I turn A word into a header? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 201.114.97.174 (talk • contribs) .

To create a wikilink, surround the word with square brackets. In example, [[Goku]] creates Goku.

To create a heading, use = surrounding the word, at the beginning of a line. In example, ==Title== will create a title heading, and ===Subtitle=== creates a subtitle of Title.

Thanks!!

[edit] More questions

How can I copy paste a table of characters, similar to the one of the characters of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?

I would like it with headers for:

image

name

1st appearance

last appearance

name in japanese.

and check cells for comic, movies, dragonball, dragonball gt, dragonballZ

oh, that's how you do lists!! hahahah. I just found out when signing.

I just realized this article has a table below. Still, howcome the page looks so "Un-wikipedic"? --201.114.96.112 03:45, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Links

How do I get links like "king" to work connecting to the King of the Dragonball world (the blue racoon) instead of to the page of the word "king"??

Gerardo Sanchez —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 201.114.96.112 (talk • contribs) .Irwin

To do this, you need to understand wikilinks: [[word]] links to word. [[word|something]] (note that there is a pipe between word and something) gives a link to word, but which reads something. You can thus link [[King of the Dragonball world]], or [[King of the Dragonball world|king]]. Note that you will have to replace King of the Dragonball world with the correct article name. If the name is in the same article, use # to denote that, in example, [[#King of the dragonball world|king]] will link to this article, to the section named King of the dragonball world. -- ReyBrujo 05:50, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Done

I'm done with the list I figured out how to solve my link problem on my own. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 201.114.96.112 (talk • contribs) .--201.114.96.112 03:43, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I want this article to have a table

Sort of like this: List of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles characters And I think it'd be great if it has mini pictures of the characters heads so that people can also identify them by fisically.

This way the article would be a useful general Dragonball characters guide. Can someone help me?--201.114.96.112 19:12, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Experiment

Name	A.K.A.	Comics					Video Games	Action figure
Son Goku	Kakarotto Son Gokou Son Gokuh Goku-Sa	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
Pilaf	Emperor Pilaf	Yes	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Cameo	Yes
Piccolo	Pikkoro Ma / Demon Jr. The Child of Katattsu Kamicolo	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
Bulma Briefs	Buruma Bloomers Lena	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Cameo	Yes

[edit] Nevermind

I found out on my own... But right now I don't have the time to finish filling the info... Can someone else finish it?--201.114.96.112 20:57, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Well, that is how most things are generally done here, experiment at the sandbox, learn, and then edit the article ;-) I suggest you to create an account, it is better if you plan on doing many modifications, or very important ones. By the way, I removed the head images from the table above, as our Fair use criteria is strict: we can't use fair use images in talk pages. In a similar fashion, you won't be able to create a table with the character thumbnails, as that goes against the Fair use criteria as well. That explain why the TMNT list of character does not have images in the table. -- ReyBrujo 21:22, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Same size

Is the a way to keep the tables the same size??--201.114.96.112 09:12, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Freeza related characters

There is no real reason to separate the Freeza R.C. from other aliens. Before any of my edits, the RR robots were not separated from the other androids and the red ribon were not separated from the regular humans.--201 23:03, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

I also aded the word aliens to namekians and saiyans, it is more specific.--201 23:05, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Somebody just refer to my edits as vandalism. Why would I vandalize my own creation? I'm just clarifying wich characters are aliens. Saiyans, Namekians and Freeza's are all aliens. Regular readers don't know that.

We aren't doing Red Ribbon related characters or Gralic Jr. related characters, I think in this context, even though there is a "Freeza related charactes" list, it is out of place to put them in a separate table, they are not even the same race. They also appeared in a row, so it's kind of implied they are together, just like in Red Ribbons case.--201 20:26, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

If someone is unaware that Saiyans and Namekians and Freeza are aliens, they can follow the links to the articles on those subjects and discover the fact on their own. Adding "aliens" is not needed. This article is just meant to serve as a table of characters in the articles referred to, not to reorganize the character groupings.

Daishokaioshin 20:31, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Well, I'd know that, you moron. I created the tables From 0!!--201 20:35, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

It doesn't matter whether you created the articles or not. Also: Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on the contributor; personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks may lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. - Daishokaioshin 20:42, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

I can respect the Saiyans and Namekians, But the freeza table if not merged, should be a section of othr aliens.

Why not Gralic Jr. or RR related characters? The villains are organized according to sagas, here the organization is races, and Freeza related characters are no a race.--201 20:38, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Garlic Junior is a minor character from a movie and a couple of filler episodes, but if you want to create an article for Garlic Junior Related Characters simply click the red link and start editting. Likewise for Red-Ribbon Army Related Characters. And I don't think we're organizing according to Sagas, unless I am mistaken. We are organizing according to the articles that exist.

Daishokaioshin 20:42, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

We?? who's we, kimosabe? I started this from 0 with some help from Takuthehedgehog, who I think put the images. Of course, I'm not implying ownership. What I mean to imply is that, if there is a Freeza related characters table is because when I created it, I didn't realize that those aliens were not really a race. Observe carefully the other tables. All tables are listing characters by race regardless the saga or their boss. Other aliens is the table for characters from unknown alien races, just like freeza's crew.

Prior to the tables, there were only some list I made and prior to that this page was just a bunch of useless headers. The Freeza characters was my mistake to begin with.--201 02:32, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The article is too big

Maybe each table should be moved to the respective sub-list and this article should be re-formatted so that it looks lige a general index and not the horrible sequence of headers it was before.--201 05:36, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Saiyans	Humans	Animals	Namekians	Aliens	Freeza Aliens

Androids	Majins	Slump	Deities	Fussions	Other

Something like that + the character navigation infobox.--201 05:54, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Although I do think that the format we're using now is fine, I'd have to agree that the article is getting a bit lenghty. Do we have to add every single character to the page? Characters like the farmer from the beginning of Z, Ikose and Idasa, and other extremely minor characters don't really have to be there and only chracaters with at least SOME importance should be here. It would help shorten the article drastically. Sasuke -kun27 11:46, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I think characters here have to at least be memorable.--201 07:54, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

I think this page should be shortened too. It was a good length, a few days ago. However, now its gotten so big that my computer can't load all of the images anymore. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 151.196.165.237 (talk • contribs).

I think it's time to decide what characters stay and what characters we send packing. We have subpages that include pretty much every DB/DBZ/DBGT character to ever appear, we don't need all of them here. You want to see more characters, view the "List of..." pages. For example, characters like Denderotto and Gotan don't need to be added because they only make one extremely minor appearance. Should we start deleting some of the minor characters?

P.S. - I noticed some of your previos edits (referring to the IP user) and it would be greatly appreciated if you didn't make one edit at a time, but instead hit the "Edit This Page" button and made several of those edits at once. It's just easier to follow that way. Thanks! Sasuke -kun27 22:12, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Recoome and Guldo appear in GT and movie 12

In DBGT Goku is watching tv and the news announcer is saying how all these odd occurences are happening, with all these people coming from nowhere. Then we see many villains escaping such as Recoome, Guldo and many others. All that happened in the episode called "A Dangerous Union" Super 17 Saga dvd volume 9.

In Fusion Reborn when Frieza is telling everyone to attack Gohan the first person to fly in front of him pretty fast is Recoome. User:Recoome

I went back and checked and your right. They entire Ginyu Force is in Fusion Reborn and Guldo and Recoome are in GT. Sasuke -kun27 22:53, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Is this page really needed?

The page seems pretty pointless as it currently looks. I really don't think we need to list every character and totally demolish the fair use policy. It sould just link to the separate character lists with a brief description of each one. Nemu 00:24, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Well...

I'm placing ALL of the images to the linked pages. Dragonball1986 13:25, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
