Canon material
Ok, am I missing something here? How many episodes have already aired? I think there's only one, and it definitely didn't have all the information posted on this article. What's the source for all these minutiae? ―  T hailog  15:25, December 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm pretty sure someone has just been adding info based on what happened in the comics, despite the fact that YJ may be very different from the mainstream DC universe. Some stuff comes from interviews, although Greg Weisman has pointed out that they aren't necessarily reliable. So I tend to think we should be phasing out the unsourced elements in the near future. -- Supermorff 15:38, December 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * I figured. That used to happen in the DCAU Wiki all the time. Sometimes it still does. Editors think they need to fill every gap with comics canon, even if it's inconsistent with the animated universe. That's why we have a conjecture policy. Maybe it should be imported over to here. ―  T hailog  15:45, December 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * Maybe, or some of it anyway. I don't think we need the same templates, though. A little note in the infobox next to the 'name' should be sufficient. Greg Weisman also suggested some sort of distinction between the canon stuff and non-canon stuff from, e.g. interviews, although I think as long as the interviews are referenced as such then it's not such a huge issue. -- Supermorff 15:53, December 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * It sounds doable. We have a template for questionable material that highlights the text and has a hover note. Maybe we could use something similar here, but more subtle? ―  T hailog  16:06, December 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * I already made a template here, but it doesn't link anywhere yet since we don't have a policy page about it. -- Supermorff 16:26, December 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * I see. But that is for unsourced material, I was thinking of a way to make non-canon, sourced, material stand out from regular text(=canon). ―  T hailog  16:35, December 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * Ah, I gotcha. Yeah, we had a thing like that at GargWiki too: http://gargoyles.dracandros.com/Template:CIT . Makes text bold and blue. -- Supermorff 17:29, December 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * Ah, nice. That's what I was going for. We should use that too. What does CIT mean? ―  T hailog  17:37, December 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * Sorry, that's a Weisman-ism. "Canon-in-training". Mainly things from Ask Greg that haven't shown up in canon material - probably true but subject to change. Not sure blue is a good colour, though, since it'll be very similar to the links on the site. Can't use red either for the same reason. Yellow/gold? Orange? Green? Purple? I don't know. -- Supermorff 17:43, December 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * Green... green is good. Nice work! -- Supermorff 18:13, December 5, 2010 (UTC)

Test
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.


 * Does it stand out alright? ―  T hailog  18:14, December 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * It looks good, but maybe it does need to stand out a bit more. Tad more saturated, or lighter? -- Supermorff 18:20, December 5, 2010 (UTC)

Lighter:

Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah link, blah blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah blah blah.

Darker:

Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah link, blah blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah blah blah.

Orange:

Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah link, blah blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah blah blah.

Yellow:

Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah link, blah blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah blah blah.

Of the above, I like them all except 'Orange', which blends in a little too well with red links. -- Supermorff 18:33, December 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * That wouldn't be a problem if we decided to go with orange. I could easily change the color of red (and blue) links inside the CIT template. I'd just need access to the CSS, or someone to do it for me. ―  T hailog  18:41, December 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * ... You can do that? Awesome. But if we're trying to narrow it down, we might as well not go with orange anyway. -- Supermorff 18:45, December 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * We can do almost everything with CSS. A pain in the ass sometimes, but it's our friend. Though, I'm not a fan of orange neither. I'm kinda liking the yellow one, or lighter green. The former stands out better. ―  T hailog  18:48, December 5, 2010 (UTC)

Dick o Tim
Are we sure this Robin is meant to be Grayson? His skill set matched Tim Drake more. --Roguebfl Talk 01:42, January 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * It was confirmed to be Grayson, I can't remember where now, maybe look in the sources section. I'm out of the house at the moment, but once I get home I will find you a link. Will94  (Talk - TTFF - Teru) 04:31, January 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * For a completely canon source, issue #0 of the comic has Alfred refer to him as "Master Dick". -- Supermorff 18:37, January 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * Given the drop zone episode where they choce a lead declears he's 13, and Bane's on the scene, and Robin knows who he is, that fits with Drake not Grayson. --Roguebfl Talk 03:16, January 29, 2011 (UTC)


 * Well, this is a completely different universe with its own timeline, so that argument doesn't really hold. The spin-off comic, which is written by series creator Greg Weisman and staff writer Kevin Hopps, refer to Robin as "Master Dick". That is a canon reference. If you want something clearer (but not necessarily canon), we'll have to go direct to the creators. Here and here, Greg Weisman specifies that Robin is Dick Grayson. Here he explains that this is Earth-16 and not tied to previous continuity. If that's not sufficient, well then I have nothing more to give you. But Robin is Grayson not Drake. -- Supermorff 09:14, January 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * You guys are all kind of close, but no. That's not how we know it's Dick Grayson. On the Cartoon Network website, on the Young Justice Page there's a profile for all the characters. Robins confirms his secret idenity as Dick Grayson. Peter 10 18:39, May 14, 2011 (UTC)

Words
I don't know if this is something worth mentioning, maybe, but has anyone else noticed he tends to mess with words a bit? Like, in the first episode, he's heard underwhelmed and overwhelmed, and wonders why no one is just whelmed. He then uses whelmed as a word throughout the rest of the episode. He's done the same to disconcerted (concerted) and I think disturbed, but the last one I'm not sure about. -- Aliana * Anima della tundra! 10:52, February 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yeah, he said 'turbed' a couple of times. Mention it if you like, because it seems like a thing he does a lot. -- Supermorff 23:13, February 4, 2011 (UTC)

Okay first of all, is all of Robin's abilities copied and pasted from the Teen Titans Robin? I've read over it, some of it is true, and the others are NOT. Someone needs to fix it because....it looks pretty bad.


 * Well, we're a wiki. Why not edit it yourself? -- Supermorff 18:31, February 6, 2011 (UTC)

Good point.

However, I'm not that good at elaborating, which is why I think someone else should do it. I dont think me doing it would be such a good idea.

Why will Robin ( Richard John "Dick" Grayson) have no Love intrest? Why can't he with be with Artemis because both of them don't have powers? But he might levitate to walls.

youngjustice robin
So not to be a downer here but they neverrevieled which robin this is on the show i havent read the comics so i dont know but im highly douting the fact that it's dicki ... in my opion its probably Jason and maybe tim. I really think its Jason because they didnt tell us his name and i think they would have told us dick or Tim


 * Read here, Rassilon of Old  (Talk - TTFF - Teru) 06:56, March 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * In addition, it has been stated that he's Dick in episode 5, episode 8, issue 0, and issue 1. All canon references. -- Supermorff 09:40, March 20, 2011 (UTC)

False.
This robin is in fact the 3rd robin, Tim Drake. NOT DIck Greyson. DIck was the first robin and was part of the teen titan that happened long before Young justice. Greyson comes back last as night wing and is the leader of a new generation of teen titans. Tim drake later goes on to become Red Robin. Who ever wrote this did not read up on the facts

You have to be kidding me. It has been stated in multiple episodes, multiple YJ comics, like five times on this talk page, and even by the creator himself. It is Grayson. Rassilon of Old (Talk - TTFF - Teru) 01:47, March 31, 2011 (UTC)

Flying Graysons
Dick Grayson's Circus family is now part of continuity with the Young Justice Free Comic Book Story Face Your Fears -- Oknight 12:17, May 10, 2011 (UTC)

Robin's Real Scret Identity
For everyone arguing over which Robin this one is, here's proof that it's Dick Grayson:

Friendship page?

 * That image was already on the page, but thanks. -- Supermorff 19:21, May 14, 2011 (UTC)

could someone do a kid flash and robin friendship page?

Early Life Update?
Issue six of the YJ comic shows that Dick not only watched his mom, dad, older cousin, and aunt die in the fall but his uncle fell, survived, and is still alive and paralyized (thus unable to care for him). I think the fact that this version of Dick Grayson has a living relative that could pop up later, even in the form of responsibility, is important. I added this info once and it looks like it got deleted. Should we add it again or is there a policy on this that I'm not up on?


 * Add it again but make sure you add the reference as well. -- Supermorff 09:03, July 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * I thought you wanted users signing in? -- Anythingspossibleforapossible 13:42, July 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * That would be nice, yes, but we're not going to remove valid, sourced information just because it was added anonymously. -- Supermorff 19:33, July 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * Obviously I meant this talk page not Robin's main page. I was only pointing out that you were quick to mention that I hadn't signed in and had to give me a somewhat condescending lesson with an illustration of what to do, and yet you seem perfectly fine about this user not signing in. -- Anythingspossibleforapossible 00:08, August 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm very sorry you thought it was condescending. I can't recall the incident in question, but the only reason I would recommend that an anonymous IP should register a username is because I'd seen them do a lot of really good work and I thought they should get credit for it. I'm perfectly fine about anonymous users in general not signing in. -- Supermorff 18:50, August 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * My apologies for causing any kind of strife! That was me earlier, I thought I was logged in but the Facebook connect thing randomly times out I guess and didn't let me know. I'll re add the info when I get home from work tonight. -Summer.bradshaw

Robin's De-Prefixing: New Section?
Can I add a section on this? His habit of removing prefixes from words to make up his own terms seems to come under Personality, but I had a look at Kid Flash's page, which has a separate section just listing the souvenirs he's collected so far. It's quite major but not really reflected here at the moment.

Richard
On his info box it says that the name Richard isn't in-universe canon. Although they named him Richard in the fifth comic book.


 * Issue #6, actually. Which is the seventh comic book. :) --Tupka 217 (talk 11:45, April 12, 2012 (UTC)

Robin's Age
Isn't Robin 14 by now? He's now a freshman in high-school different than how he was in middle school near the beginning when Wally previously said he was 13.


 * No. This has been answered on Ask Greg to oblivion. Look up "freshman" with the search option, you're bound to get your answer. And he's nowhere (yet) referred to as a 14 year old, so we still list him as thirteen. --Tupka 217 (talk 07:52, April 19, 2012 (UTC)

Due to the 5-year gap he would be 18. Everything on his page says he's 13. -- Anythingspossibleforapossible 12:13, April 29, 2012 (UTC)


 * Still discussing it. --Tupka 217 12:15, April 29, 2012 (UTC)

Update
I think someone should update the more recent events that Grayson has taken place in. Regular Guy 23:27, April 23, 2012 (UTC)


 * No kidding. That requires content editors, and at the moment, there are maybe four (two of whom just started out) who work on character bios. You're free to help out; just read the MoS first. --Tupka 217 15:27, April 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * Okay, sure. I usually don't edit main characters pages, but I'll do it. Irregular Guys are my enem--friends! - ٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶


 * Robin is done. But you're welcome to do Kid Flash. --Tupka 217 07:55, April 28, 2012 (UTC)

Move
So, move to Nightwing and create a new page for the new Robin? All links to this page will have to be pipe linked... ―  T hailog  15:21, April 28, 2012 (UTC)

A Robin ll page. Regular Guy 20:07, April 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * Discussion here. ―  T hailog  20:08, April 28, 2012 (UTC)

Drywall vs. Concrete
For the record - and I'm not saying I'm proud of this - I HAVE indeed punched drywall, and I have punched concrete. And it makes a big difference to the HUMAN HAND. Trust me. Gweisman 23:24, May 31, 2012 (UTC)
