Nate RFB posted:As in, the best stuff to use to watch fansubs? I think it might be a bit unnecessary, but it can't hurt either. It'll be nice for newbies and for when standards inevitably start shifting again. It can also have little stuff like "the subtitle option doesn't work like you may think it does, select the Mplayer control window and hit "b" to bring them up".

Embedded_Image posted:Intering. If you type in "Yu-Gi-Oh" it will take you to the correct page. If you type in "yu gi oh" it returns nothing. How hard is it to add closest matches to the search results? That's because I didn't feel like building umpteen redirects. I went with the two most common spellings instead. Likewise, I'm working on Zeta Gundam right now, and will probably have a redirect from Z-Gundam, but probably won't bother with making redirects from Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, because almost nobody types out the full thing like that. And I don't want to spam up the database. Of course, if you want to add some redirects, go ahead. They're are easy and the same as any other Wiki.

I got a Death Note page up but it needs a lot of work. I've never read the manga or seen the movie, nor am I too familiar with shows like this (the two series in the "You May Like..." section were complete guesses on my part.) I just wanted to get something up there to attract the better informed.

Can we add video games based on anime? I have a review I wrote for the Bleach GC game then decided to do nothing with it that I could change a bit and add to the site. Also, how about a list of all the shows added?

I have a review I wrote for the Bleach GC game then decided to do nothing with it that I could change a bit and add to the site. One question I have is making an index...couldn't we just make a "Recommendation Index" page, and update it with each new entry? Seems to my primitive wiki mind that that might be the best way to organize it. Since if you go to "All Page" you'll get some repeated entries, and some pages which aren't related.

In as Furyk. Awesome idea.Nate RFB posted:It's up to everyone, but honestly I'd rather keep it simple and just have it be for shows. There could be a section for stuff like Melty Blood and the like though, so it's not out of the question. Agreed. If we're going to do this, let's focus only on anime and manga first. If we're going to expand it, let's expand it once we've got some content. FuryK fucked around with this message at 01:12 on Jan 17, 2007 |

Pierson posted:This crossed my mind when I looked at All Pages and saw about six of them were redirects for Yu-Gi-Oh. I've got no problems with it. We'd just need to go through the pages every so often and update it. I think this works. One possible situation we could run into is with repeated entries for stuff that has both anime and manga equivalents. I had to think about where to place Death Note, since the entry itself is written to apply to both the anime and manga series. Sometimes it's fine and the entry can apply for both...but there will be plenty of situations where someone may want to write an entry for a specific version. I guess it's up to each person's discretion.

raezr posted:Something that would be easier is just to categorize each article ([[Category:Anime (TV)]] for example) so mediawiki will automatically sort them and we won't have to manually add them to a list. This is the best I could come up with. Is there an easier way to, say, populate a list within another page with the members of a category?

We'll just have to use the index to link to each category, I guess. We should probably discuss what categories to use... Format categories should be pretty easy: Anime (TV), Anime (OVA), Anime (Movie), and Manga For Genre categories, we should probably at least have the basics: Drama Comedy Sci-Fi Horror Romance Mystery And then a few anime specific ones, perhaps? Slice of Life Mecha Harem Shounen Fighting ? Any more/less?

Nate RFB posted:Any more/less? While it's unwieldy to add too many genres (you just end up wondering what the hell to pick for your show), you may want something for historical stuff, like Saiunkoku or Otogizoushi or whatever. A number of shows probably fall under "fantasy" as well (Scrapped Princess, Nausicaa?).

I suggest we have specific tags as well sorting by genre. Something to help me avoid MOE shows along with maybe ultraviolent, yaoi, yuri, mindfuck, so good its bad, and a few other tags following the same principle.

Embedded_Image posted:Magical Girl At some point we'll probably ask people to use one of the categories in some rules list or something. There's no harm in people including more genre's or categories, but they just won't show up on whatever index page we decide to link these all together with. How's this: Drama Comedy Sci-Fi Horror Romance Mystery Sports Fantasy Slice of Life Mecha Harem Shounen Fighting Magical Girl Any more than that might be pushing it.

Signed up as Beansy. EDIT: Would it be a bad idea to copy information wholesale from wikipedia for some series? Obviously the purpose of this wiki is not just information but also qualitative recommendations, but for the information part, wikipedia already has some hella-comprehensive guides there for a lot of series (like literally 70+ different pages for the Naruto-verse).

The Template has been updated a bit, as well as the Index (now with HOT HOT internal wiki category linking action). I think this is a pretty good ground work for folks to start churning out pages. The only thing left is the voting system which can be implemented whenever.

Nate RFB posted:Magical Girl, Sports, and Fantasy would probably work. I don't think Burning Passion or Mindfuck work because those are more like aspects of shows rather than a genre. I know where you're coming from; the category page would look extremely sloppy if it just listed every sub-category of every niche genre. Then again, if this is primarily an anime recommendation engine, don't you think it would be really helpful for people to just be able to go to a page for a show and find other "mindfuck" or "girls with guns" shows, even if there are only a handful of shows in that category? We could make the more niche genres get listed in that "Anime Specific Genres" section after the main genre list. Or, we could even make those really narrow genres not appear on the main index, and only accessible through searching or through clicking on them from an anime's page. I think it'd be really useful. On another topic, it seems like pages are being created rather slowly... maybe this site doesn't need to be private? The massive goon prank rush might not be as big as you think, and the ability to edit & create without having to make a post here and wait might be a bigger enticement than you think.

I just want to avoid being too specific with the genres. If we're not careful we could go the way of ANN and have stuff like "Serious" and "Supernatural" and "Psychological." Not that those are bad or anything, but I think it's being too specific. "Girls With Guns" however is pretty good; it's a specific niche as you said. I'm glad it's been added. The reason we're using approved registration is to avoid drama with people loving with the wiki. This isn't like TVIV where just about everyone is just about on the same page with respects to other shows. I think it's a safe assumption that an anime fanbase, even in a place like ADTRW, is pretty divided on a lot of shows. It's the same reason why the Haruhi threads were being massively voted down for a while from the banners; people outside of ADTRW were coming in each time a new one popped up. Besides, we have 49 users so far; that should be a plenty good enough start for a while. I guess people are just waiting (  ) for the wiki to be finalized.

I made some changes to the Template to try to make its instructions for the categories more clear, but I really don't know if it's that much of an improvement. I'm trying to make it easier for people to start making entries. EDIT: Ahh, there's the Haruhi page.
