List of anime series
Alright, I can understand why not to add the Template:Al template to the Wiki, but why not the anime list? It was probably the source of most traffic on the old Wiki, along with the fact that having a list of anime is a very helpful thing to have. -PatPeter 06:19, May 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * An anime list on wiki is almost useless as better ones already exist.
 * Other lits are far more complete, and trying to make a local list complete is an endless task that takes away from setting up actual content.
 * Other lists are made to be navigated much better, any manual list here is practically useless since there is no ability to sort through it by anything but title (which is virtually useless as if you already know the title you're looking for the search bar will find what you're looking for far more effectively than looking through a list which is sorted in an unknown manor).
 * Our purpose is as a hub pointing to and encouraging creation of wiki. The only list we need is of stuff we've covered, red links don't point to wiki.
 * Hmm, in an analogy, "Reinventing the wheel is a waste of time and is of no benefit to anyone, unless you are able to make the wheel rounder...", we can't make that wheel any more rounder, we can only make it more square...

Alright, I completely agree, I myself am a programmer and use my code to manufacture code in a sense, no need to copypasta the same lines over and over again. I can see the same with the anime list, the only question I have is what is being used for a list of all anime? Special:Allpages? I wouldn't have copied over the old anime list if I had found the automated list first. -PatPeter 22:06, May 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * Special:BrowseData/Series was setup awhile ago, already linked to from the main page. ~ NOTASTAFF Dantman(Local Talk &#8285; Animanga Talk)
 * Wow that's an awesome page! Thanks for the link Dantman. -PatPeter 01:26, May 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * There is a list that was copied from the anime wiki in the Forum, you can use it to help create individual pages so that the Series page can be better populated and more useful. Note: there is a separate list in the Forum just for keeping track of Anime Wikis.--Sxerks 02:11, May 21, 2010 (UTC)
