Talk:List of Anime and Manga Wikia

wikis in other languages to be listed too?
hi there Sxerks, nice work, looks like this list will require high maintenance :). Just a thought, I know there are many anime-manga wikis with other languages in wikia, this list seems English-centric? Any plans to include the same wikis in other language on this hub? thanks Gin-san (Talk) 16:01, September 11, 2009 (UTC)


 * Ya, with the floodgates open on creating new wikis, there will probably be lots of "1 page" empty wikis out there. Having to goto the main wiki and search for each title is sure a pain.  I really just got it started (in the hope that others would randomly add links), I'm sure there are many more out there that I didn't search or have time for.  We really need to get this wiki out there as a cross-promotional tool because it's really too much work for just a few people.


 * As for other languages, I just added obvious ones that I could tell what they were. I don't see a problem with adding other languages to the list, though maybe they have their own Animanga-like hubs?  It may become a bit of a mess, I think Gundam has like 50 wikis or something.--Sxerks 17:30, September 11, 2009 (UTC)


 * hmmm, true. Btw, dunno whether these (ENG only) qualify:

and quite a number listed here w:c:entertainment:Wikia_Entertainment not shown in the list. Gin-san (Talk) 21:43, September 11, 2009 (UTC)


 * I just added all on your list, (had kanzaka under Slayer) and Transformers is, well, I don't know. I remembered looking at the Entertainment Wiki many weeks ago just forgot about it. --Sxerks 00:10, September 12, 2009 (UTC)


 * LOL, transformers now have manga and anime versions.
 * btw, do you want to use the Special:Statistics for the number of articles? I can do up a simple template if you want to test it out, for Gintama, and maybe DGM first. Gin-san (Talk) 07:28, September 12, 2009 (UTC)


 * some more potential candidates:

http://avatar.wikia.com/wiki/Avatar_Wiki (american anime???), hmmm, it is Nickelodeon cartoon, I don't know

http://ajshimcomics.wikia.com/wiki/Ajshim_Comics - korean manga artist???

http://ja.anime.wikia.com/wiki/メインページ ~ Japanese version seems quite updated

for deletion? some of the wikis have page layout all messed up on FF browser:

http://ani.wikia.com/wiki/Anime_Wiki_Wiki

http://anikireview.wikia.com/wiki/Anime_Review_Wiki


 * I was thinking about the, but I didn't think that you could get that info across-wiki. And I think I might try a table format for each section of the list.--Sxerks 14:12, September 12, 2009 (UTC)


 * ya, template refuse to render, but I hate to give up just like that, LOL ! "Z" section combed through already:

A note on other languages. I don't think other language wiki should be referenced on wiki. This is the English wiki, so people coming here are looking for English wiki. Anyone wanting to hub other language animanga wiki should start an animanga wiki in that language to hub wikis of that language. ~ NOTASTAFF Dantman(Local Talk &#8285; Animanga Talk)


 * hmm, I thought Sxerks's idea to include small links to other lang sites is useful, especially for those less common languages in Asian region such as Arab, Indonesian Bahasa Melayu (I think I recall seeing 1 or 2 only so far), which may not justify having a hub? In that case, those poor wikis will forever be "hub-less"? Since we are doing the ground work here, if they are listed, hopefully the Eng wiki will take note and include the relevant different lang interwiki-links when they see the list. Of course the site admin shouldn't kill himself trying to update the list, perhaps a disclaimer can be included. Having so many hubs in different languages can be quite resource-taxing, no? Esp since some users are multi-lingual, which I am sure both you and Sxerks are. I can tackle both Eng, Chinese, and limited Jap. But of course as contributors I will just follow the framework set up by admins, just thinking out loud ... :) Gin-san (Talk) 17:09, September 19, 2009 (UTC)


 * As far as this Forum page is concerned it can have any links (I've only added other lang wikis that have had a logo and hundreds of pages) it's just a list after all. This is a english-centric hub, other languages could inter-link and show up in a the language bar on the side.  In reference to the "series template" it might not hurt to have one link to the main wiki page on Wikia.com like I did on the Forum page with the "Other" links(Though the PageName used here may not be the same there).  And BTW I'm not really multi-lingual(unfortunately) only partially.--Sxerks 17:30, September 19, 2009 (UTC)

Running through Wikia central's list for animanga sites
so this is the list I am running through to filter out the animanga sites w:wikia:List_of_Wikia/A. Boy, you are right about those 1-page wikis, it's a mess out there :). I spent 3 hours to cover only letter 'A' :P. Worse still, some are turning up in Goggle searches, which gives Wikia a very bad name, I feel. Maybe WIkia should adopt WIkipedia's policy of speedy deletion, they threaten to strike off 1 of my articles barely 10 sec after I created it, LOL. Gin-san (Talk) 13:37, September 12, 2009 (UTC)

new category?
Akira, Sword of the Stranger, Freedom Project are not exactly ...? Gin-san (Talk) 18:47, September 18, 2009 (UTC)


 * I think "Series" is meant in a generic sense like individual intellectual properties or franchise. It is automatically part of the series template. Though a category may needed for a voice actor, or artist infobox tmeplate.--Sxerks 20:38, September 18, 2009 (UTC)


 * can extra parameters be included in the template to indicate feature film, or OVA? just thinking out loud ...Gin-san (Talk) 20:43, September 18, 2009 (UTC)


 * I think you can add "tags" that can do that, but take a look at it Template:Series and see if there is a good place to add those "type" for categories in. That might mean updating the Form used to create it also.--Sxerks 21:17, September 18, 2009 (UTC)


 * LOL, if it involves the form, then I better not touch it, I don't know how to do ,  tags. Gin-san (Talk) 21:27, September 18, 2009 (UTC)

what is the scope of Animanga?
before I go off on a tangent totally LOL, I would like to find out what exactly is the scope that this animanga hub intend to cover. Is it only providing intro to wikis already on the wikia? Or is it going to be the-all-encompassing encyclopedia gateway including series/movies that no one may ever start on wiki on wikia (hint: super old series like Kochikame, Doraemon, Sazae-chan etc)? Because I suspect some like Moribito:Seirei no Moribito may never get their own wiki on wikia, and if animanga only features existing wikis or wikis that will likely be set up (read: new series), then no point in me creating articles for all these 'old stuff' LOL Gin-san (Talk) 20:41, September 18, 2009 (UTC)


 * That was my question to Dantman and his reply. Basically I would leave the articles short for anime/manga for now.  In the future the community might decide to use subpages(or something) to expand on the topics.  Of course, artists, actors, terminology would get full pages here.  In the end it is meant to cover everything anime/manga related, and act as a (hub/common reference) to other wikis, so no problem adding the oldies.--Sxerks 21:17, September 18, 2009 (UTC)


 * A summary of older series should be fine (perhaps an external link to Wikipedia in the External links section), even if it may never get a wiki the big "This series has no wiki, ..." message at the top is a great reminder to someone that they can start a new wiki for a series if it doesn't exist. ~ NOTASTAFF Dantman(Local Talk &#8285; Animanga Talk)


 * if no wikipedia link, official web site links tend to be in, surprise! Japanese. Do you want these official web link included in that case? Gin-san (Talk) 17:10, September 19, 2009 (UTC)


 * A Wikipedia link, and links to all the official sites both English and Japanese, anime and manga, etc... would be good. If a site is in Japanese put after the link after a space, this is our more flexible equivalent of Wikipedia's  . ~ NOTASTAFF Dantman(Local Talk &#8285; Animanga Talk)
