Dams Denna, Pictures column and title fixes (27 October 2026)

Changes on 27 October 2026:

  • Added Dams Denna (exact anagram of Dan Madsen; letters checked: a a d d e m n n s both ways). Sources: Wookieepedia's Dams Denna article. New page Dan Madsen. The card's lore joke ("Linn'con memorabilia", Lincoln) is on Jokes#Dams Denna, not here, because Linn'con is a respelling of Lincoln, not an anagram.
  • Corrected two card links to the printed titles: Leesub Sirln (the old link read "Sirlin", which breaks the anagram of Leslie Burns) and Imperial Trooper Guard Dainsom (was the red link "Dainsom").
  • Added a Pictures column: every card face, plus the person's photograph where the person's wiki page already has one (Chuck Kallenbach, Cheryl Kallenbach, Jerry Darcy, Joe Alread, Justin Pakes, Kendrick Summers, Kevin Reitzel, Kyle Heuer, Maarten Logghe, Mark Tuttle, Rollie Tesh, Tim Courtney, Tom Braunlich, Tom Lischke, Warren Holland).
  • Still no usable photograph on the wiki for: Michael Girard, Eric Olson, Becky Higgerson, Bill Martinson and Jason Winter (only 50-pixel DecipherCon 1999 thumbnails), Bob Madison, Carol Wisely, Claudia Darcy, Curtiss Murphy, John Sarnecki, Jonathan Quesenberry, Keith Skipton, Leslie Burns, Mark Schaffer, Mike Gray, Rob Burns, Sandy Wible, Stacy Mollema, Dan Madsen. A photo hunt on SWCCG sources is still open. Comlink Cursor (talk) 17:12, 27 October 2026 (UTC)

Card Picture and Subject columns (27 October 2026)

The table now has two picture columns:

  • Card Picture: the original card face only.
  • Subject: a picture of the real person or thing the title scrambles, or an empty cell. Each file page names its source, a Preserved copy and its licence.

Subject pictures added on 27 October 2026:

Still blank, and why:

  • People with no photo that can be tied to them for certain: Michael Girard, Eric Olson, Becky Higgerson, Bill Martinson and Jason Winter (only 50-pixel DecipherCon 1999 thumbnails), Bob Madison, Carol Wisely, Claudia Darcy, Curtiss Murphy, John Sarnecki, Jonathan Quesenberry, Keith Skipton, Leslie Burns, Mark Schaffer, Mike Gray, Rob Burns, Sandy Wible, Stacy Mollema. Photos exist of a Curtiss Murphy (games executive) and a Mike Gray (Hasbro game designer), but nothing shows they are the Decipher people, so they are not used.
  • Private pets; no published photo of them is known: Raven (Blizzard 2, Nevar Yalnal) and Jasper (Djas Puhr).
  • Diaogana Dude (Niado Duegad): no picture of the subject is known.

Leesub Sirln and Imperial Trooper Guard Dainsom now have anagram= fields. Comlink Cursor (talk) 17:41, 27 October 2026 (UTC)

Explanations in the Relation column (27 October 2026)

Build notes:

  • Every row's Relation cell now opens with its old short label, then says who or what the subject is, how it ties to Decipher, and how the letters map, with a ref on each claim. New refs carry Internet Archive copies checked with ww_strict.py (run on Bill's PC, since archive.org refuses the box).
  • "Uses exactly the letters of" means a letter-for-letter count match, checked for every row.
  • Blondie (Debnoli) now uses File:Anagram reference - Blondie in his poncho in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.jpg, a 4K frame from Arrow Video's official sizzle reel showing the poncho and cigarillo. The older trailer close-up is no longer used on any page.

Data that may be faulty:

  • Snuggle Bear: Wikipedia says the bear was introduced in 1986, but the commercial in the Subject picture aired on 4 April 1985 (see the section above). The Relation cell gives 1986, as Wikipedia does.
  • The fan list's spellings don't always match the letters: Leslomy Tacema has one more E than Stacy Mollema; Velken Tezeri has an E where Kevin Reitzel has an I; Bachenhall has an H where Kallenbach has a K; Djas Puhr has D, U and H but no E compared with Jasper; Nabrun Leids is not an exact rearrangement of Braunlich; Pote Snitkin does not have the letters of Keith Skipton (no H, one K, an extra N); Loci Rosen matches Eric Olson, not the list's Olsen; and Niado Duegad matches Dianoga Dude, not the list's Diaogana Dude.

Missing data:

  • Pote Snitkin (Keith Skipton, marked uncertain) and Pucumir Thryss (Curtiss Murphy, relation "????"): none of the sources found says who they were at Decipher, so those cells only report what the fan list says.
  • Stacy Mollema, Claudia Darcy, Bob/Will Madison, Mike Gray, Raven and Jasper: the fan list is the only source found. Comlink Cursor (talk) 18:59, 27 October 2026 (UTC)

Niado Duegad row rewritten (27 October 2026)

The Niado Duegad row was rewritten with Bill's approval. Its Unscrambled cell now reads "Dianoga Dude", and the fan list's "Diaogana Dude" is treated as a typo because it has one A more than the card. Comlink Cursor (talk) 19:25, 27 October 2026 (UTC)

Blank Subject cells, updated (27 October 2026)

Checked on 27 October 2026 against the live Anagrams table (revision 168497, 19:32 UTC) and the wiki people snapshot taken the same day. This list replaces the two "still blank" lists in the first two sections above. Those lists still named Jason Winter as blank, and they left out the 50-pixel thumbnail of Carol Wisely.

Subject pictures added since those lists:

Rows still blank (19 rows):

Subject pages for the Unscrambled column (27 October 2026)

New pages, each linked from its Unscrambled cell:

Cells linked to pages that already existed: Cheryl to Cheryl Kallenbach (Chyler) and Mark McKay to Mark Tuttle (Warrant Officer M'Kae).

Titles: Blondie and Angel Eyes are the film characters, not the comic strip or the band, because the fan list's relation for both is "Good, The Bad & Ugly". Raven and Jasper carry "(dog)" and "(cat)" so the plain names stay free.

Preserved copies: the Internet Archive copies of the Collecting Encyclopedia (20261008192828) and of the Wikipedia pages for The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Man with No Name and Kenner Products are the ones checked in #Explanations in the Relation column (27 October 2026) above. The fan list and Snuggle copies were checked again for these pages.

Guess: Rennek's lore calls him a "Nerf herder", and Kenner ran the Nerf line after Parker Brothers handed it over, so the lore may be a second joke on the toy company.

For the Snuggle Bear date and the Dianoga Dude row, see #Explanations in the Relation column (27 October 2026) and #Niado Duegad row rewritten (27 October 2026). Dianoga Dude has no page of its own, because no real subject behind it is known.

The card pages do not carry anagram= fields for these subjects yet. Comlink Cursor (talk) 19:51, 27 October 2026 (UTC)

Imperial Helmsman row corrected (27 October 2026)

The Imperial Helmsman lore prints Warrant Officer Bachenkall (card data and the card page), an exact anagram of Kallenbach; the row now says so and treats the fan list's Bachenhall as a misspelling. Comlink Cursor (talk) 20:07, 27 October 2026 (UTC)

Imperial Trooper Guard Dainsom row (27 October 2026)

Possibly faulty data
