message: I've been looking at redoing Template:Infobox Anime convention for the past couple of days. I mainly want to prevent text from poorly wrapping when it is too wide for the table cell--particularly the location. I also like to make the image and official_website parameters optional. But with 38 pages currently using the infobox, this isn't something I'm going into lightly.
To currently see what I'm doing with the infobox, you can check out my Sandbox--TheFarix 04:00, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Template:Infobox Anime convention has been revised, however, I have made it backwards compatible so that it will not break the old infobox that most articles are still using. I would like some input on the instructions on how to use the new infobox. Currently those instructions are still in my Sandbox. Feel free to revise the instructions if you think that something needs to be reworded for clarity or see a spelling or grammar mistake.--TheFarix 15:08, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

message: Mitsukai and I have been discussing the basic requirements that a convention should meet before it can be placed on the list of anime conventions. However, we would like to have more input from others. Please leave your comments at Talk:List of anime conventions.--TheFarix 02:22, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

message: Should the Participants section be moved to its own page or something? I'm sick of fixing up the columns so they're equal sizes - Squilibob 05:08, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Sounds good to me. (^_^) --日本穣 20:18, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: So move it to Wikipedia:WikiProject Anime and manga/Participants or is there some sort of template we can use to automatically sort and list such information? - Squilibob 04:13, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Create :Category:WikiProject Anime and manga participants, then change  to add anyone who uses it into the category.--TheFarix 15:08, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Category made! Gerard Foley 15:22, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It would have been better had my idea received more discussion and support first.--TheFarix 18:16, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Be Bold. It's a small change that is easy to undo. Gerard Foley 23:56, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It's just that in hindsight, :Category:Participants in WikiProject Anime and manga may have been a better name.--TheFarix 00:44, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It's never too late or too hard to change it. - Squilibob 00:51, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

text: Excellent, good idea. removed and add removal however. - Squilibob 00:21, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: A-D has been notified. I'll wait a bit before notifying any more people before I get accused of spamming, or someone else can notify some that are left. ;) --TheFarix 00:30, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

text: E-M done. - Squilibob 01:17, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

text: I actually compared the old list to who has already been placed in the category. I'm still debating if the old list should be kept for "historic" reason, just moved over to the category like WP:WSS did. --TheFarix 01:32, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

message: While sorting through some of the articles to see which ones can be destub, I happened across several articles that have been double stubbed with both  and . Since the two are closely related, I've made the category for {{ a subcategory for :Category:Anime and manga stubs. The question I have is, can the stubs be trimmed down to just one? In this case, to just . Are there any real benefits to stub these articles with both  and ?--TheFarix (Talk) 23:07, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, there is little benefit as  is really just for anime productions, that's why anime company stubs aren't put under the anime stub. Alternatively you could make a new type of stub just for anime seiyǔ and instead use that. --Squilibob 07:55, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Would that be redundant? After all, a "Japanese voice actor" would likely be an anime seiyǔ as well. The two seems to closely related to justify a separate stub.--TheFarix (Talk) 11:55, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I was assuming that movies dubbed into Japanese would have Japanese voice actors that would be put into the same category. --Squilibob 12:06, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  To Do list 

message: I've been thinking about how best to reduce :Category:Anime. The current scheme has been to divide everything into Anime series, Anime OVA, and Anime films. However, I don't think this will be enough, especially with the possibility of several anime being cross categorized in at least two if not all three categories. As an alternative I propose sorting based on the anime's genre:
:Action anime, Adventure anime, Comedy anime, Drama anime, Fantasy anime, Harem anime, Historical anime, Horror anime (already created), Magical girl anime, Martial arts anime, Mecha anime, Mystery anime, Romance anime, School anime, Science fiction anime, Sports anime
The naming scheme follows Horror anime which already exists. With more categories, problems with a single category growing too large because of cross categorization should no longer be a problem. --TheFarix (Talk) 22:57, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That sounds good, there will still be cross categorization but the categories will be much smaller in size. --Squilibob 23:59, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm still going to wait a couple of days before creating any of the categories. That should allow others to propose alterations to my scheme. --TheFarix (Talk) 00:49, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

text: The categories have been created. I'm already in the proccess of recategorizing some of the anime, But there are plenty that I don't know which genre they should go it. --TheFarix (Talk) 13:00, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: At :Category:Anime by genre. The existing Shōjo and Shōnen categories might have to be renamed. Especially since the shōjo article is now called shōjo manga. --Squilibob 13:10, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That article should probably be moved back to Shōjo as it encompasses both anime and manga. What was the reason of moving it to Shōjo Manga in the first place? --TheFarix (Talk) 13:41, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Don't know, it was mentioned in this talk. From the articles I've redirected, most do in fact relate exclusively to shōjo manga. --Squilibob 15:04, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Maybe because editors of anime articles never thought to link to it. Still, I don't think the renaming is justified. --TheFarix (Talk) 15:13, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

text: What are we doing with :Category:Anime series now? Can we use that for anime that are part of a series or are standalone anime, OVAs and movies still going to be included. Are we trying to reduce that too or not? --Squilibob 15:04, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm leaving it alone. But when I can remember, I move it before the genre categories. --TheFarix (Talk) 15:13, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

text: New :Category:Supernatural anime created because I noticed quite a few anime that didn't fit very well into either fantasy, mystery or horror. Examples are Tsukuyomi - Moon Phase, ×××HOLiC, Karin, E's Otherwise and Psychic Academy. --TheFarix (Talk) 16:31, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

text: Category:Anime is now at 428 articles and dropping. That is smaller then :Category:Anime series, which has 474 articles. Some of the articles will probably stay in :Category:Anime because they are too general to but in a subcatagory.
Anyways, I've just finished G and will probably start on H later. But I need some rest first. Fill free to sort the articles I skipped over or correct anything I miscategorized. --TheFarix (Talk) 23:49, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

text: I can't believe that you've done so many already. --Squilibob 02:19, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That's what I get when I don't get called out to work today. It's tedious, but not all that hard. I do great when I don't spend time tinkering with the articles. ^_^; Oh well, I'm going to plow through the L's and then call it a night. --TheFarix (Talk) 03:06, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reducing size of [[:Category:Anime]] 

message: There are a lot of requested articles I've been finding and cataloging over on Wikipedia:Requested articles/Japan, far more than appear in this category. Feel free to add more to this page, too. I've been going through the various related lists and listing all of the redlinks there. I've also created a bunch of redirects from some requests to the articles that already exist. --日本穣 04:44, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
