Forum:2 Questions

Hey! I was wondering if you guys would be able to help out with a couple of questions. First, is it just manga to be promoted on the Wiki or does it include Korean Manwha too? I was going to create an article on Veritas but it turns out its a manwha, so I thought I better check before I create it.

Second, it seems there are quite a few anime wiki that encompass a whole bunch of anime (e.g the Go Nagai wiki). So should a page be created for Go Nagai and all the relevant series (Devilman etc) be redirected there, or should a page be created for each series, all linking to the same wiki? Thanks in advance!

 * For the Manwha, I think there already are a couple articles. I think it's ok, there's not that many and is centric to eastern style, unlike western cartoons and comics.
 * 2nd: I think a page for each series and link to the same wiki. Yotsuba & Azumanga, and Minami-ke & class 5-2 have separate articles and link to the same wiki.
 * And good job! filling in the articles, I see we are finally above 200 now.--Sxerks 16:02, June 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks for answering! And no problem, the list of wikis you did in the forum helps a lot so thanks for that! Ilyanathundersage 19:06, June 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm find with Manwha, just keep it to eastern stuff. Western comics and even anime-inspired animation don't really fit here. ^_^ I'm interested in a Manwha or two, Laon really grabbed me. And for the latter, we keep series separate and link to whatever wiki is relevant. ~ NOTASTAFF Dantman(Local Talk &#8285; Animanga Talk)


 * What counts as anime then? Asian animation, "anime inspired," Japanese animation, or what the Japanese consider anime? The anime section says it's Japanese animation, but any type of Asian cartoon, per se, is allowed--whether it follows the same anime style that Westerners view as anime or not. There's an Avatar the Last Airbender page in here, but we don't consider that anime because it's made in America? What about other American "cartoons" that are drawn in the anime style by Japanese (or any other allowed) anime creators, or even the French anime inspired shows? What are those considered, cartoons? --Imanie 03:27, June 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * What counts as anime then? The definition is basically now any random persons opinion.  But for this wiki probably any animation or manga originally produced in east Asia or maybe originally written in some form of kanji.  "Anime inspired," is just that, inspired, so it should be listed on the non-existent Cartoon and Comics Hub.  The Avatar page shouldn't be here either.--Sxerks 19:20, June 11, 2010 (UTC)

When were Yotsuba+Azumanga and Minami+5-2 sharing wikis? That's odd, I'd give them individual ones. I'm all for having wikis to celebrate a franchise of great work brought together by a single author, but those always seemed like distinctive universes to me.

When we shove them together we end up having to categorize more, like 'characters in azumanga' and 'characters in yotsuba' for exampel. +Yc 18:54, August 18, 2012 (UTC)


 * Yotsuba and Azumanga were merged a long time ago, reason: same author, limited content, azumanga is done so a stand alone wiki would get vandalized more. As for Minami-ke, there was no merge, I just added 5-2 and That Future is a Lie to the wiki because of the same reasons.  Having more categories isn't a problem, as it is structured on the main page and in the nav.--Sxerks (talk) 20:55, August 19, 2012 (UTC)
