raezr posted:I added [[Category:All Pages]] to the infobox so it doesn't need to be added to every page, and I guess a side effect was that "Template" got included in that category. EDIT: I added a Macross Plus entry. I also hosed around with the Template. I just can't leave the drat thing alone so I'm sorry if some of these changes seem weird. My goal was to get rid of "Template" being included in the all pages category, and also providing some options for people using the infobox. Maybe it's just me being anal but seeing the infobox used incorrectly drives me crazy. It's easy to forget that just because you haven't included a field in the infobox doesn't mean it won't show up in the entry itself (Original Manga  ). Feel free to tear what I've done apart; I'm just trying to find some happy medium to make making new pages easier without as much maintenance needed after completion.

I started a Welcome to the NHK page, and I'll add more to it soon probably. Someone put something under 'If you like this...' because I can't really think of anything.

I signed up as Mercury Crusader (I will never tire of this username, ten years after the fact  ). I will probably contribute more obscure crap than anything else. Yes.I am now slightly enticed to make a Gundoh Musashi page... EDIT: I wrote a Galaxy Angel page. It only refers to the first season, however. I don't know if we should treat each "season" as a seperate series or not, but there you have it. Mercury Crusader fucked around with this message at 03:39 on Jan 28, 2007 |

The main purpose was to replace the recommendation thread. So say someone likes Pokemon and wants to find something like it... Ok bad example. but you get my drift. Don't bother with the description and stuff about the show but merely make the "If you liked this..."

Seriously guys, just remember that the primary reason for this wiki is to recommend series to people. If you're trying to make some gigantic conglomoration of pages about all the anime anyone here has seen (whether it sucked or not and whether or not everyone has already seen it) you're just going to end up making a lovely version of the ANN encyclopedia.

Yeah, part of the problem with the old recommendation thread was that almost every anime would, at some point, get put in. The supposed deterrents now are that the effort to write up a full entry, combined with registering (in the wiki and in this thread), is high enough that most of what does get put in is 'worthy.' If and when a voting system is put in, that's the other way to keep potential "bad" entries in check. I somehow doubt it'll become a problem anyway. I'll worry about all of this when there's an actual steady amount of new entries coming in

I made a page about Elfen Lied, because every so often you see a thread about it and it would be nice to have something to point them towards. Also I secretly hope people will put shows under the "If you liked this . . ." because that seems like the most important part of any page, that is, other shows that people will like if they like that show. I mean, it's nice to have a huge big page on Haruhi because most all of us love it, but it seems the best possible thing for such a popular show would be other shows people would like that are similar. Just listing shows doesn't seem helpful enough. Shouldn't there be like a sentence, maybe two, telling what it is about the show you are listing that makes it relevant? Say we have a hypothetical School Rumble page. Should we just list shows that have something in common with School Rumble, or should we say what it is about the show we are listing that would interest a fan of School Rumble in an easily digestable sentence? Like "Haruhi has wacky school adventures too" or "if you like the love triangles and don't mind an extra heaping of drama check out Honey and Clover." Not great examples but that's just off the top of my head.

One thing I do feel is that perhaps some pages are getting a little heavy handed on the description side...in the end, only a paragraph or two should really be necessary. The important information is the opinion of the user and the list of shows to link to in "If You Liked This." On that point, for example, is the Haruhi page too big? Do we really need large introductions for the characters? Going further, is having the "Short Outline" even necessary at all if it's going to be expanded in the next section? Maybe it would almost be better if we were to adopt the "Sum up an anime in one sentence" concept from that thread. This thread right now is being used to mostly just work out the kinks in the wiki and get new users approved...but certainly we could use it for other things. Such as help in generating shows for the "If You Liked This." For example, just WHAT shows would you put in that section for Haruhi? It feels strange leaving the most "important" part of the page blank.

For Haruhi "if you liked this...you'd like", I put School Rumble, Azumanga Daioh, and Kanon. To me it's more of a trend of what the fanbases like, because if you look at those shows listed, Kanon (the remake, actually) seems like the black sheep, but a lot of the fanbase gravitated toward it not because it's similar to Haruhi, but the fact that it had a Kyon-like character (voiced by the same guy) and was by Kyoto Animation. They also have school aged main characters with some humor and slice of life elements as well, so if you wanted to take similarity in genre, you can argue that they all share certain elements.

The point is to recommend series to people, but I disagree with some of what you're saying. Even if everyone has already seen Cowboy Bebop, I think it's still very useful to have a page for it. The way I imagine this site being used is that you go there, look up an anime you have enjoyed, and follow the recommendations from there. That way, even if the show isn't something you'd generally recommend to people, it still has a place on the site. In fact, the more popular, "everyone has seen it" shows might even be MORE useful to put in, especially if the "You might also like this" pages are also created. Nate RFB posted:One thing I do feel is that perhaps some pages are getting a little heavy handed on the description side...in the end, only a paragraph or two should really be necessary.

Do we really need large introductions for the characters? Maybe you're right. I honestly do feel that, at the absolute max, 1 or 2 paragraphs is the most you really need for the purposes of this show. We don't really need a list of character bios here. Probably, the more concise you can get the info down to, the better; if you can get it to one sentence, awesome, although mandating that might be a little restrictive. So, what do we really need on an ADTRWiki page? Maybe the recommendations should come even before the short description. The short description is good... but I don't think we need the main outline at all. Go to wikipedia if you want detailed information - maybe a link like that should be on the links at the bottom.

If we are going to put in pages for anime that is generally accepted as "everyone's seen it" and/or "horrible, avoid it" we should keep those entries down to a few lines outside of the reccomendations box, and note as to what it's been classified as.

I also think this is why we need the Description before the Opinions; it's harder to talk about why a show is great without some sort of explanation before hand to set the reader up. I don't think I'm wording this very well, but I just can't help but shake the feeling having the opinion first would make the entries sound weird. I like to be able to make references to what the show is about, explained prior by a description, in my opinion paragraphs.

Nate RFB posted:A description of some kind is necessary, I think. To really sell a recommendation I think you need to talk about what the show is about, outside of one or two sentences. It's just that you don't that to be too long. SO basically I think a paragraph or two that's longer than the Short Outlines but shorter than the Plot Description is the proper medium. I find that one of the best ways to get a "feel" for a show is just to read the op in the show's respecitve thread. Keeping this in mind might make for concise summaries of the show while also adding more of a dynamic sense to the description. Basically write about the show like you actually find it interesting, but don't go out and summarize the whole first episode or something crazy. As such 1 or 2 paragraphs might be small but really all you need is an introduction to the rest of the article.

It certainly has a small number of Sci-Fi elements, but I don't think that places it in the Sci-Fi genre. I would have to place Galaxy Angel in the Mecha and Drama genres as well with that way of thinking.

I'd like to put in something about the NHK manga, but I'm not sure what to do format-wise. Does it deserve its own page separate from the anime? If so, do I rename the current page to "Welcome to the N.H.K. (anime)" and make a disambiguation page, or keep it as it is now and add a line at the top linking to [[Welcome to the N.H.K. (manga)]]?

Here's Aim for the Top 2!. I talked to doomisland earlier about maybe renaming the Gunbuster page to "Aim for the Top! Gunbuster," just to make it clear this is a sequel to it. But I think it's fine since the two are usually better known by simply "Gunbuster" and "Aim for the Top 2!"

It's great to see the wiki expanding, but I have a feeling it could be growing faster. I could be wrong, but I think at this stage, making a list might go a long way. It could be right here in this thread, or maybe even in the wiki itself. Somewhere on the front page have a link to a list of top-priority shows that should be added as soon as possible. It doesn't even have to be something that a lot of thought is put into, it just needs to be something to get everyone started. Since the wiki is so small at the moment, any new article added will be noticed and because of that I bet that some people are nervous about putting something up. You can even see it a bit in this thread. People are wondering if we should put up an Eva article. On one hand nearly everyone has seen it so no one will really need the description to figure out if they want to watch it, but on the other hand, since so many have watched it, it could be a good branching point for people to find other shows that they might like. So I say we get rid of that uncertainty. Just make an official list of shows that we want added. I think it'll work. Everyone who wants to can claim a show that they want to add to the wiki. And it might take an additional list or two, but I think eventually we'll get things kick started. And once the wiki gets to that point, things should just go smoothly on their own. The abundance of articles will draw in more people. It will be big enough so that when someone makes a new page it doesn't feel like "OMG everyone is staring at me do this, aren't they?" And with more entries we'll hopefully attract more viewers and more contributors. And hopefully people will realize that they don't need to be a huge anime fan who reads ADTRW everyday to contribute. They just need have seen a couple of shows and have the ability to write a few coherent sentences. And who knows, I realize I've been kind of like  but I think something like this may work. I really hope so, and I hope I'm not coming off as
