Hi this is just an alt account for Torchickens as I feel locked out of my account and password reset doesn't work. The name is a reference to Sirius and Cooler Suns in astronomy. I was too passionate a long time ago I burnt out and became lazy for the sake of my health. So Torchickens... no more fiery Capricorn like cynical slow turtle Scorpio haha :) I will forward it to Tappy eventually when I feel in good health as not to burn out, and tbh AUselessMage deserves more honour than me for their fan translations behind the scenes.

Request on Torchickens Page (follow up)

Hi there, a few weeks ago, I asked a question on your alt account's talk page about updating the main page's news section to mention the first 3 Starfy games coming to Nintendo Switch Online. Is it still possible to edit that page with this account, or is there anyone else I could ask this question to? I'm aware that this wiki has become somewhat quiet. --Logangsta (talk) 07:59, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

Sure, thank you so much ^^ I'll try and look into why no one can seemingly edit when I get back as I'm in hospital right now or you could pass it around NIWA to save this wiki. Yeah, so if you press details on Nintendo Switch Online, a few information was changed such as Ogura to a ruffian. The games here in the UK are called on my NSO account Densetsu no Stafy 1, Densetsu no Stafy 2, Densetsu no Stafy 3 when you press X (details) while Starfy himself is still called Starfy, etc. SiriusDevoured (talk) 13:36, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

It's really messy like that and something similar would probably happen if Mother 3 was released for NSO eventually for Nintendo Co.'s preferred localisation rather than translation. SiriusDevoured (talk) 13:40, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

I don't want to be taking sides though, as localisation is still well to protect the audience playimg, for younger players may not want their parents seeing Ogura as a demon (misunderstood fierce deity kami) and Evil as an arch demon (aku kami.. kind of like the Cartoon Network character Aku from Samurai Jack. It's complicated but also an obfuscation of the worldview. SiriusDevoured (talk) 13:50, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

You can test if you can edit normal pages. It might be just a glitch on password reset and me being locked as non autoconfirmed. SiriusDevoured (talk) 13:55, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

I'm able to edit normal pages. The first thing I did when I made this account was edit the games involved with the NSO announcement. HOWEVER I wasn't able to upload any files. Also, what do you mean by "pass it around NIWA to save this wiki"? I don't know if admin privileges pass over between wikis. What I'll do in the mean time is simple. I'll try uploading some files (and let you know if it works) and try to message other admins the request I sent you. I hope you get your account back! --Logangsta (talk) 23:45, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

Quick update, I've gone to the Contact Us page on the main NIWA website and sent them a message about bug-checking the password reset. I'm just waiting for them to write back. I also had three ideas that could help get your account back.

1. 1 I noticed that you're also an admin on the Nintendo Wiki, so perhaps the password you use there might be the same here?

1. 2 If you're part of the Discord server, you could always try to get help there.

1. 3 Send a message, like I did, to the NIWA.

I hope that this helps! --Logangsta (talk) 00:02, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
