[edit] Do not delete my link

Xiaolin wiki is new and needs users so do not delete it,s external link Djf2014 16:01, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Please see Wikipedia's policy on external links. Your statement shows that you are advertising, which is a form of vandalism. Ryūlóng 20:43, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
In fact, several of the pages at that wiki are directly copied and pasted from the English Wikipedia. That violates the GDFL. Ryūlóng 07:36, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

GDFL? And I Edited them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Djf2014 (talk • contribs)

The GDFL is the license that allows Wikipedia to use its content. Unless you link the original articles on Wikipedia on the fan wiki, then the content should be removed from your wiki. Ryūlóng 21:24, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

How do i do that im a kid Djf2014 21:43, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

also My wiki does not sell products. Djf2014 21:48, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

It doesn't matter. You have to give credit to the editors of Wikipedia's articles that you directly copied and pasted from Wikipedia to your fansite. Do so by linking the Wikipedia articles the same way you linked your website to this article. If you do not give credit to the Wikipedia editors then it is a copyright violation. Ryūlóng 21:52, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Ill Try to make a template. But one Question how do I make a template? Djf2014 15:50, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

You don't need to make a template. Just copy the link to any Wikipedia page, and put it between [ and ] maybe give it a link to say "Wikipedia's page on..." whatever the page is for. No template necessary. Ryūlóng 20:25, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fourth Season

hey i hear that season four was announced is it true cus if it is you need to alter the season four section or delete it User:Hunter132 12:52, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Can you give a source to the season four announcement? As of now, there does not appear to be any information on a fourth season. If the new CW states that there will be a new episode of Xiaolin Showdown, then we will change the article to reflect that. Ryūlóng 20:41, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

yes i saw it on toywiz go to http://www.toywiz.com/ and scroll down til you see other categories it is alphabetical order so Xiaolin Showdown should be at the bottom click on it and up top on an ad bar it might say that it depends User:Hunter132 18:01, 11 August 2006

I can see that you are referring to this. Yes, it does appear that they may create a new season after all. I will add this into the article. Ryūlóng 01:03, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

That old from season 3 look at the date of the first episode of of season 3 and the date on that images

that may be but i still have more proof go to http://www.tv.com/ and type in Xiaolin Showdown scroll down some you should see a link that says episode list or something click it and you can go to season four User:Hunter132 19:24, 12 August 2006

But season four's entry is empty on tv.com, and it is editted like Wikipedia, by anyone (who registers). Ryūlóng 03:11, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

click on TBA it says coming soon which may confirm a fourth season

Before anyone begins to think that there most definitely won't be a new season, consider this fact: Postopia.com added a new Xiaolin Showdown game on its website (possible reason) and little info on two new Shen-Gong-Wu (the Fifi-Xiaogo & the Genie Moo) and had a new picture of a new Jack-bot! Considering this is a "real" website the information should/has to be completely true.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.111.145.96 (talk • contribs)

We won't know anything definitive for another couple of weeks, if anything at all. Ryūlóng 06:19, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, guys, but one person who was on the show, said that Xiaolin Showdown is out of production. http://forum.newsarama.com/showthread.php?t=80725 --Erased Paper 10:30, 22 August 2006 (UTC)


The episode airing on September 23 is Sizing Up Omi. However, they might start season four later on.

If you read the forum above, they said if fans pitch in for Xiaolin Showdown items such as dvds, they might consider a fourth season and they also said the shoe became a hit on Cartoon Network. Also, Teen Titans passed their fourth season which contained 52 episodes. Even if the show doesn't return to Kids WB, there's always Cartoon Network as the ratings have increased there. That's when I first watched it, because I thought it was silly at first when airing on WB. - BJ


I have successifully contacted WB about there being a fourth season or not. I recived an email from a one Gwen Moore(KPLR). This person contacted the adminastraters and they said "The show (Xiaolin Showdown) has been laid to rest." Which means the show's adminastration (Producer/creater/director/whoever) decided to end the production of the series eventhough CW wanted another season. Sorry guys and gals, but sadly this means Xiaolin Showdown is done...unless some third party producer desides to pick it up were it left off, kindof like what they did to Scooby Doo. So it might take 30-40 years, but it could come back! - Steven Kraml

Hi! I'm registered on Polish forum of Xiaolin Showdown Fans and we (I with users of that forum) are making a petition about 4th season. Do you want to join into our action for 4th season of XS?? If yes, please info in my Polish page (accept English).

[edit] Fan theories

Please do not add information to the article based on your personal interpretation of the show, or things you've heard other fans say. This is original research and is not allowed in Wikipedia. This means no talking about stories that could have been written, unless you can source one of the series writers or producers. Just remeber this is an encyclopedia, not a fan site. Jay32183 21:01, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "New" episodes on Cartoon Network

I keep seeing this get added to the article, but it isn't true. Check the TV Guide listings and you'll see the episode airing Monday is Oil in the Family. I don't know why CN is calling them new, but they are not. Jay32183 19:44, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

  • Because their new to Cartoon Network Goodgirldv9898 10:54 28 Janruary 2007
  • Cartoon Network isn't airing any new episodes anymore. This should be modified or removed now.--69.214.1.75 00:19, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Showdown Types

I'm seeing a separate article at the bottom of the page for "Shen Yi Bu Dare", which kinda bothers me. Shouldn't we have a page that maps out the types of Showdowns and possible the rules associated with each one? I'm talking about varients like Shen Yi Bu Dare, Showdown Trio, 8-way Showdown, etc. There are also side rules that can be included, such as playing against someone who is made up of more than half Wu. 68.228.38.225 05:06, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your suggestion! When you feel an article needs improvement, please feel free to make those changes.

If you're not sure how editing works, check out how to edit a page, or use the sandbox to try out your editing skills. New contributors are always welcome.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 05:30, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
In this case, make a section somewhere on this page for that :)—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 05:31, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Clean-up

This article needs a lot of work. We need to add details on the development and reception of the series. We need to make this not read like a fan guide, which probably means the list of techniques needs to go. The plot summary needs to be cleaned up so it doesn't read like a recount of history. Lots of references would be good too. Jay32183 07:24, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

I have restructured the article to more closely fit Wikipedia standards of organization, cleaned up some sections (like the lead paragraph) and added some information on cultural references outside the series. Hewinsj 18:49, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
I've been doing some good with the article, just not sure what to do with the "mystical elements" section. Some of it might be worth keeping but it mostly looks like fancruft which is frowned upon. Hewinsj 15:23, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
I think you're right. We may want to bring in some one who is unfamiliar with the series to see what a non-fan thinks of that sections importance. Jay32183 18:57, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sorry

I made a page by accident entitled Xiolin Showdown. I misspelled Xiaolin and created the page. Please visit. --Mikemoral

Note: this was my first Wikipedia encyclopedia article. Please delete it some one and again sorry.

add {{db-author}} to the top of the page. An admin will get to it. Jay32183 00:15, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
All fixed.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 00:55, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Images

Some of the images on the main article were speedy deleted for not having copyright info. Would anyone care to replace them if fair use rationale could be given? Hewinsj 06:04, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Like-A-Rock.jpg

Image:Like-A-Rock.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Reducing Fancruft

Do we need to keep the extensive list of supporting characters? List of Xiaolin Showdown characters does a pretty good job of covering them. I'm thinking Master Fung and Grand Master Dashi are the only people mentioned on the show enough to warrent staying in the main article. Also, do we need to keep the Other Magic Besides Shen Gong Wu? I can't think of anything in that list that occurs significantly enough to be notable. Hewinsj 16:04, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

I'm also against the "Other Magic Besides Shen Gong Wu" section. It's going into too much plot detail for talking about the series. Jay32183 18:13, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
Cool. I'll give it a day or two more, and if no one objects I'll pull them. Hewinsj 15:18, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Untitled comment

Someone please add " Category:Cartoon Network shows " in Xiaolin Showdown please.--XiaolinFan1 22:26, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
