Template queue
Hey Simant, since you're a template person too, want to help with one of the things being worked on here?

Eventually I want to replace the sync que with a brand new one. Templates are being copied over from anime to here and at the same time cleaned up, and the documentation is being separated. Like how w:c:anime:Template:Wikipedia was changed to Template:Wikipedia. The templates are cleaned up a bit (no more ACGNetwork template, and instead of it for sitename use), and documentation is moved to a subpage. ~ NOTASTAFF Dantman(Local Talk &#8285; Animanga Talk)
 * For the most part all of them... anything good. ~ NOTASTAFF Dantman(Local Talk &#8285; Animanga Talk)

re:Special:Chat
I don't know how many people even use irc. That's an interesting idea, I wonder if they could even do it. There are a lot of other things that would be helpful, but I don't know how much effort they would want to put into it.

On another note, the link to http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/Special:RunQuery/Weapon_query showed me, got me thinking about something I wanted to do at another wiki. Specifically generating tables based on SMW data, I have like 1000 pages(example)with data and manually create tables. Would it be possible, and could there be preset links to different table versions that users wouldn't have to select items?--Sxerks (talk) 23:15, March 27, 2013 (UTC)


 * Now that I think about it, the original list I created should be replaced by something similar. --Sxerks (talk) 17:16, March 28, 2013 (UTC)


 * That looks really good. I suppose the full table would be better but how many row can be displayed on a single page without problems.  We'll have to add form check boxes for "has animanga footer on front page" "has nav menu link back to hub" and "is available for adoption", and add those to the table.  The foreign language and dups aren't necessary as they should just be on the article page,  ut a column for fan fiction locations should be.  The locations don't need the full url or the w:c, it could just be the word "Link", I don't think there would be a need to sort that column.--Sxerks (talk) 20:51, March 28, 2013 (UTC)

re: Wiki Info
Looking at the stats that it gives, the only real useful one is "articles". Being able to get that automatically would be nice. If it got it on the article pages would it be added to the SMW data? And how much of a load would it add to the giant table query? "Special:WikiStats" has the creation date but isn't in that query. --Sxerks (talk) 22:59, March 29, 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, please do.--Sxerks (talk) 19:18, March 30, 2013 (UTC)

re:Series Template
The series template/form does need an updated look, the current one was simplified after the Wikia skin change.

The series articles are for a certain series including all the manga and anime for it. There really shouldn't be any related series (like off-shoots) combined even if they point to the same wiki. Do you have an example of one you found?
