Board Thread:Animanga Wiki/@comment-31038417-20180921165937

Addressed to the Admin, and others of responsibility for Animanga---

As Admin and B'crat of the A Silent Voice: The Movie Wiki, I posted a link to this wiki, featuring information about the movie, on Animanga. Someone posted a note on that link saying that the A Silent Voice: The Movie link needs to be merged with the Koe no Katachi Animanga link. I disagree for the following reasons---

The two wikis have are separate enough to warrant their own wikis. Koe no Katachi is a Japanese language ( abet written in English ) wiki, featuring the Japanese language manga. Why, even the title of the wiki is in Japanese---Koe no Katachi. The entire thrust and subject of the wiki is about the manga, with only a brief passing reference to the 'film' that was released. The wiki focuses on the manga chapters, the manga characters, the manga author, and covers only the story as told by the manga. The manga was created for a Japanese language audience, although the manga has been translated into English. Still, it is practically a 'manga only' wiki.

However, the wiki A Silent Voice: The Movie, is an English language wiki, with an English language title, and focuses on the 'film' that was almost completely ignored by the other wiki, that is, the English dubbed movie, "A Silent Voice: The Movie". This wiki tells the story that is, in many places, different in time line and subject matter, than the manga. The dubbed version of the movie was created for an English language audience. True, the characters are the same, but they are covered in different ways and in different settings between the manga and the movie. Enough of a difference that the movie warrants a separate wiki of it's own. Because of that fact, the movie deserves a separate link on Animanga to direct fans to a wiki that covers what Koe no Katachi does not, a wiki devoted to telling the story that the movie tells, not the manga, that is, A Silent Voice: The Movie.

Thank you for consideration of my thoughts, and I pray that you leave things as they are, with two separate links to two separate wikis, covering the two separate sections of interest, the Japanese manga Koe no Katachi, and the English dubbed movie A Silent Voice: The Movie.
