Re: Importing anime and manga over from Wikipedia before its destroyed
The old Animepedia used to go deeper into series, however that wiki never managed to pick up, Animanga's focus is acting as a hub, and encouraging new topic focused wiki. For all those deletion requested pages that are too detailed for Wikipedia and not "notable" enough, those pages would make for good starts importing into new wiki. I'd recommend anyone interested in specific pages going up for deletion start up new wiki here on Wikia and import the page, they would make good starts for new wiki, and the Animanga wiki would be happy to include a link to the wiki in a short series article. As for the series which are not large enough to fit in their own wiki, I'd recommend starting up a wiki, say "Obscure Manga" or something and starting off by importing all the articles about less-known series that are planned to be deleted. If anything grows large enough it can move off that wiki and into it's own. ~ NOTASTAFF Dantman(Local Talk &#8285; Animanga Talk) 05:37, July 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * There is a wiki for importing all deleted wikipedia articles, that would be the Annex and you don't need to be an admin to use the import function there.


 * I don't think adopting manga.wikia.com is the answer, the annex would be a better temporary place for them, and just link to the annex from a short article here. If there are mangaka or terminology article that are going to be delete they should be fully added here though.--Sxerks 14:33, July 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * As for me though, the Annex is too unorganized, as it also hosts non-manga articles, which we certainly don't need. I also want to point out that for an Anime/Manga Hub, we're severely lacking articles (at my first visit, I was expecting about 2,000 articles here, but we barely broke through 300; Final Fantasy has 13,000). I say someone should at least start adding manga series articles as well and/or make our list of anime/manga series articles more visible in the sidebar.
 * Hey, this Wiki's two years old and I hope that all of us should get going to improve this one. I hope no one is offended by anything I have said. :) heraldofmeridian♣ 14:53, July 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * They've had plenty of time to do something with manga.wikia.com, and failed to do so. Abandoning it, and just using it as a redirect, makes no sense at all.  Thus the reason for my adoption request.  I would add to it significantly.   D r e a m Focus  18:19, July 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Two years old? Animanga was created last year, and wiki don't pick up very fast, especially these over-broad wiki. This is a fairly good pace so far. As for comparing it with ffxi, they've existed for 6 years, and ffxi is very big, with lots of articles, and only one topic that makes it hard to split it into multiple wiki... Of course they're larger than a broad animanga hub that's only existed for a year, and promotes creation of separate wiki for focused topics. ~ NOTASTAFF Dantman(Local Talk &#8285; Animanga Talk) 00:01, July 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * I assumed the age of the project using the mascot's age, which was created in 2008. And I hope I'm not too picky with developing this hub. Just don't want it to lose its pace in the long run. heraldofmeridian♣ 01:48, July 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * I imported over five thousand things so far from the Wikipedia to the Manga wiki. I just noticed that the animanga Anime/Manga Hub wasn't listed in the side bar, so I added it.  All the articles up for deletion at  that should be saved, manga published in notable manga magazines for instance, I went ahead and ported over their entire histories.  Glad to have the chance to save some of it, since honestly, not a day goes by when they don't try to destroy something.   D r e a m Focus  23:30, July 14, 2010 (UTC)
