The template {{ WikiProject Anime and manga}} has a Yu-Gi-Oh switch, which classifies articles into categories like Category:Unassessed Yu-Gi-Oh! articles, Category:Unknown-importance Yu-Gi-Oh! articles and similar categories. Magicperson6969 has tagged these and similar categories for speedy deletion, but I have declined the speedy deletions as the categories are not empty. If these importance / quality assessment subcategories for the Yu-Gi-Oh workgroup are no longer needed, please edit {{ WikiProject Anime and manga}} so they become empty. If not, please make sure articles in Category:Yu-Gi-Oh! work group articles are looked at and get proper assessment categories. If you need help with this, please let me know. — Kusma ( t· c) 11:09, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
Having just "Category:Yu-Gi-Oh! work group" for the Yu-Gi-Oh! pages would be plenty, as the overall Yu-Gi-Oh! page amount is not that big (Kind of like the Dragon Ball work group, though that one has more pages). Magicperson6969 ( talk) 06:35, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

23:30, 1 December 2015 (UTC)I've gone through a bit of dispute with G S Palmer recently about whether ISBNs should be cited or not in tables. My argument is that citing the ISBNs (in addition to the already cited release dates for the volumes) has never been required in past FLCs for manga lists like List of Naruto volumes or List of Tokyo Mew Mew chapters, so I don't see a point in trying to go against a rather long-standing convention to not overcite the tables. I also believe that since the ISBNs are not likely to be challenged, they don't need another, redundant cite when the cite on the release date almost always already contains the ISBN within it, and anyone wanting to verify the ISBN can just go to the cite on the release date, or just click on the ISBN link itself and use Special:BookSources to verify it. So do ISBNs need a cite, or can we just leave it out like we've always done?-- 十 八 01:09, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

Should weight be given to reviews from sites which, while reliable sources, aren't known for comics/manga? I'm currently digging up sources for a draft of Nijigahara Holograph and the two sources I'm asking about are Wired, known for tech, and AV Club, known for televison/film. The authors themselves of the articles do write about comics so I'm not really worried about that, but rather if the inclusion of the sources would give them undue weight since they don't really specialize in the topic.

I noticed someone was just adding Category:Japan Self-Defense Forces in fiction to a bunch of anime and manga articles, many of which don't seem to actually be about the Japan Self-Defense Forces. The category seems appropriate for articles like Yomigaeru Sora – Rescue Wings or Gate (novel series) where the main characters are members of the Japan Self-Defense Forces, but the category has also been added to other articles where the characters are members of entirely different organizations (e.g., Neon Genesis Evangelion and Full Metal Panic!). I've removed the category from those two, but I suspect it isn't accurate for many of the other articles. Could someone please go through the rest of the articles in the category and remove ones which aren't actually about the self-defense forces? Calathan ( talk) 20:41, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

Now that a section on airdates has been added to MOS:ANIME, I think now would be a good time to fix articles which still use media dates; meaning, now should be the time to remove footnotes in articles unless necessary and change the media dates to actual airdates.

I have suggested a compromise and Lord Sjones23 has no objections with it.
I like this. For the Fullmetal Alchemist example, the committee is grouped together as Fullmetal Alchemist Production Committee (鋼の錬金術師製作委員会), followed by a long list (Ref: Media Arts DB). I'm going to assume this is the same committee for the anime series as well. For b though, it might be better to group them generally as Production Committee and give them the same footnote treatment. DragonZero ( Talk · Contribs) 10:27, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
Smile PreCure! is being marketed as Glitter Force in the Netflix / English version. Unlike most of the other dubs, this is a Yu-Gi-Oh!-level localization which means the names have been Anglicized.

So for example, if a person does not list a year of birth in his/her official profiles, but a reliable source (for our example, Crunchyroll) gives an age, would adding the year of birth given in the news article to the person's Wikipedia article be a BLP violation, or not? Narutolovehinata5 t c csd new 15:04, 6 January 2016 (UTC)
{{
Birth based on age as of date}}
so you don't have to pinpoint the year based on the news article. The template results in listing two years as possible birth years. Its only flaw is if the person's birthday occurs in that time between the interview and the writeup but if that is known then you'd have a more accurate source to begin with anyway.

I think I'll need some help here. A few months ago, consensus here determined that the airdates presented in articles should be whatever date they actually aired in, regardless if official sources say otherwise (see MOS:ANIME). This however, leads to two problems: 1. not all articles have been changed yet ( Attack on Titan still presents the "official" airdate rather than the actual one, and just a while ago I edited Nyaruko: Crawling with Love [may Miyu Matsuki rest in peace] to reflect this consensus), and 2. most anime articles aren't clear if the airdates they present are the actual airdates or the advertised ones. I suggest some kind of cleanup drive where editors will check articles, then check those article's sources, and determine if the airdates presented in the articles are the actual ones or not. If an article's presented airdate isn't the actual airdate, the article should be edited to fix it, with a footnote explaining the situation being added if necessary. If the article already has a footnote and an "official" airdate, the airdate presented to be changed while the footnote should be revised to reflect the change (similar to this edit I made). I raised this some time ago here, but there was little action taken, so here it is again. Narutolovehinata5 t c csd new 17:57, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

I would like to get a second opinion on a matter of contention I've run into on the Dance with Devils page. For the simulcast sub of this series, Funimation decided to change one characters' name from "Roen" to "Loewen". Since that is the "official" English translation, I thought it best to use that instead of the original spelling. However, 78.122.170.110 ( talk · contribs) and a number of others feel very passionately that this was a "mistake" on Funimation's part, and insist that the "Roen" spelling is the genuine one (see this and this diff). (I assume that this is probably due to those who want to stick with the spelling from their preferred pirate website). Anyway, after having to revert similar edits almost every other day for about the past month, I eventually added a hidden note explaining why we should use the Funimation translation, and urging anyone who wanted to change it to first bring it up for discussion on the talk page. Following this, 78.122.170.110 changed it again, calling the translation "a horrible mistake", and saying that using the "Loewen" spelling was "Lying to fans and giving them the wrong name". Could I get a bit of input from those who know what is usually done in situations such as this one? Thanks, G S Palmer ( talk • contribs) 14:51, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

There is currently a move discussion over at Talk:Kanon (disambiguation) on what the primary topic for Kanon should be. Since the visual novel is a good article, and has received the most coverage in independent reliable sources I assumed it would be the primary topic. The move proposer though is arguing that Kanon (Germen for Canon as a liturgy term) would also take prime focus. My take on it is that the sources for Kanon are mostly Germen but would be willing to go with a Kanon (disamb) if consensus is in favor of that. - Knowledgekid87 ( talk) 14:21, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

I've recently removed extra airdates for the uncut versions of episodes from their episode lists on three articles. (
example) This is in line with the parameter name, |FirstEngAirDate=
, as well as the
template documentation which states that it is the date the episode "was first aired", and contains the same wording for the |OriginalAirDate=
parameter as well. However this has proven controversial, with

Gibshamari (

reverting on the
basis of consistency with other articles that contain uncut air dates as well. Thus I would like to establish consensus first for remedying that throughout the affected episode lists. Personally I do not find that when an episode was first aired uncut would be of interest to readers of an encyclopedia, and that the episode lists are explicitly meant to hold the first air date only; the rest are superfluous. A preliminary search found seven lists this would affect:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7.

Over at Ajin: Demi-Human editors have been adding english titles. As the series is licensed by Netflix and won't appear until after the entire series has been broadcast in japan, no official titles have been made available.

I've noticed that in some anime episode lists (like List of Cross Ange episodes and List of The Testament of Sister New Devil episodes and List of High School DxD episodes), some of the episode summaries are overly long or too short (the episode summaries in the List of Ai Yori Aoshi episodes are mostly copied from TV.com). I would like to quote the relevant guideline from Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Television#Plot_section:
For season articles, there are a couple of ways to present plot information: in a basic prose section that gives season story arcs and main plot points or a tabular format that sections off each individual episode with its own brief plot section (approximately 100–200 words for each, with upwards of 350 words for complex storylines, with the provision that articles using {{ episode list}} should not exceed 200 words in accordance with the instructions for that template).
As such, I think we should standardize the length of the plot summaries in episode lists by trimming or expanding the summaries or even possibly rewrite some of the plot summaries from scratch where necessary. Thoughts? Lord Sjones23 ( talk - contributions) 18:51, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

Revisiting Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Anime_and_manga/Archive_37#Comics_Worth_Reading_and_Pop_Shock_Culture_RS.3F, which questioned why THEM was reliable and someone said:
THEM Anime, similar to AnimeOnDVD/Mania.com, has been around a long time, at least ten years. Its reviews have been quoted by other reliable sources and it has some industry backing. They also do meet the requirements of having specific guidelines for accepting submissions with editorial oversight. It also does have published credentials/info on its writers and staff. The, now former, editor and chief Carlos Ross was featured on G4's Attack of the Show, including discussing several of his reviews. [13] -- AnmaFinotera ( talk · contribs) 01:25, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
Indeed this discussion was from 2009 and our approach to sources has changed. THEM has no hallmarks of editorial quality. It is written by hobbyists and has no institutional pedigree. Being around for a long time is not a marker of reliability, quoting might be (depending on the specific quote), but where is this editorial oversight policy mentioned? Perhaps a link to this discussion worked a half-decade ago, but this is not a reliable source by today's standards. czar 14:35, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
I'm quite familiar with the website and have come into contact with their reviews on occassion, including Carlos. Pretty sure I've seen their reviews quoted in journals that I've used for my own researches, as well as, more importantly, in advertisements by American licensors. They're also mentioned frequently by ANN and other reliable people in the American anime scene too. The site itself is definitely reliable, though they've had some new blood lately so I don't know if that applies to their newer reviewers as well.

Many of the series articles with separate character lists do not list the characters in the series article—why? If the characters are important to the series, they should be covered in the series article (at least in brief), no? And then split out summary style as needed? Many series articles have empty Character sections apart from a {{ see also}}/{{ main}} template that links to the separate character page. It would be more helpful for readers if these sections at least summarized that other article's contents. I don't see the logic by which character list articles receive special exemption from the summary style conventions. czar 18:45, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

Considering the difficulty of getting featured, how about replacing "All lists Featured" with "5% of articles and lists GA-Class or better" like WP:VG or just for articles considering the lists are already at 10%. (the list percentage could also be lowered) It would be more realistic and attainable. (and could always be increased if reached) Also, can you double check the code for the Stub and C class articles? Like I said before, the percentages shouldn't be the same, but rather should be cumulative if I'm understanding right. Opencooper ( talk) 21:40, 24 March 2016 (UTC)
All articles higher than Stub class: 69.1% complete | ||
Pertaining to the discussion to include the progression templates, I thought that we should make a push to destubify all anime and manga-related articles and turn those into Start-Class articles or better. Currently, we have 59.1% of articles higher than stub class and there's currently 5,155 stubs and is not an undoable task. Is anyone else interested in joining this project?

What would be good enough for Start? I've recently sourced Yuriko Chiba and Azusa Kataoka, but can hardly find any biographical information about them. I suggest the under construction tag for overhauls. I don't think there would be that many edit conflicts with 5000+ articles, and it might be good to share effort on some of them.

keep the main article focused while most of the plot fans want to see is on a character listThere's the rub. As a generalist encyclopedia, if we accept that there is not enough secondary, reliable source coverage to write an encyclopedic article on a set of series' characters alone, then we acknowledge that fans would be better served by another (specialist) wiki for this information. czar 14:09, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
So uh, if anyone's interested, List of Sword Art Online characters is being proposed for merger with Sword Art Online.

To help cleanup tagging efforts, I recommend {{

should be removed from current manga/anime episode lists as they are broadcast, and should be tagged for cases where the lists have fallen way behind broadcast. Optionally, we can try {{

Similar to the most recent discussion at WikiProject Square Enix, I'm thinking that we should cut down all of the cleanup tags to zero. Currently, 4,640 articles have tags, with a total of 7,295 issues. Please do your part: if you see a tag, fix it and remove it. Some are very simple like adding title to references, or archiving references; some of you are also excellent writers, and we have some intro sections and some plot sections that could use your help. If everyone does a few, it will all be done, and will be a milestone for us like no Stubs will be. Here are some Featured Articles and Featured Lists with cleanup tags:
So, there's only one FA and five FLs, let's get that down to zero! Any thoughts or objections? Lord Sjones23 ( talk - contributions) 17:24, 24 March 2016 (UTC)
That was fast! Now we have just two more featured lists left, and we'll have zero tags for it. Also we have 52 good articles that need cleanup, minus the other two that might have to be merged ( Big the Cat and Blue Dragon). We need to shorten that to zero also. Lord Sjones23 ( talk - contributions) 23:22, 24 March 2016 (UTC)
And with that, our FA and FL cleanup is almost done! Nice work. There are two more FLs left for cleanup.
Lord Sjones23 ( talk - contributions) 01:10, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
Here's the full list of our GAs with tags on them. Just like the FAs and FLs, to help them keep their status we should have zero tags on these as well. Here they are:
So, we have 52 GAs total like I mentioned earlier. Think we can do this? Lord Sjones23 ( talk - contributions) 03:23, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
What about demoted GAs? Some of them are still good enough that it shouldn't be hard to bring them back up to standards. Sailor Moon comes to mind; there's plenty of sources about it which could be used to bring it back to GA-status; in fact, with all the coverage it's gotten, it could be a possible FA in the future.

The IP editor 68.132.38.134 keeps removing anime articles from Category:Post-apocalyptic television series with a stated reason of "It belongs to the Post-apocalyptic anime and manga category". I've tried to explain on his talk page that both categories are needed, but the he doesn't seem to agree. I've been having a hard time understanding what he is getting at since he is only communicating through edit summaries. However, I'm thinking from his latest edit summaries, and because he made Category:Post-apocalyptic anime and manga be a sub-category of Category:Post-apocalyptic television series (and also a subcategory of Category:Post-apocalyptic films), that he wants to keep Category:Post-apocalyptic television series as only directly including live-action shows. However, I just don't think the way he is categorizing things works, since lots of things in Category:Post-apocalyptic anime and manga aren't TV series (since that category also include manga, anime OVAs, anime films, etc.). I think the best way to categorize these pages is to just have them in both Category:Post-apocalyptic anime and manga and Category:Post-apocalyptic television series. I suppose an alternative would be to create a new Category:Post-apocalyptic anime television series, and make that be a subcategory of both Category:Post-apocalyptic anime and manga and Category:Post-apocalyptic television series, but I don't see any reason to do that rather than just categorizing them in both categories. Anyway, if anyone could help out with these articles (see the IP editors edit history for the articles involved) or give any opinions on what should be done, that would be helpful.

It's been a while since I've had to deal with this, but can I revert these edits on the grounds of fancruft? Here is some context. This user argues that this protagonist with weak emotions should have his physical attractions to a character noted. He also added insignificant events like "oh, they shared an umbrella", and has backed off from that point after I noted it.
The thing is, this character has noted other characters physical attractiveness before, and I believe this user is really stretching the importance of things here.

23:30, 1 December 2015 (UTC)I've gone through a bit of dispute with G S Palmer recently about whether ISBNs should be cited or not in tables. My argument is that citing the ISBNs (in addition to the already cited release dates for the volumes) has never been required in past FLCs for manga lists like List of Naruto volumes or List of Tokyo Mew Mew chapters, so I don't see a point in trying to go against a rather long-standing convention to not overcite the tables. I also believe that since the ISBNs are not likely to be challenged, they don't need another, redundant cite when the cite on the release date almost always already contains the ISBN within it, and anyone wanting to verify the ISBN can just go to the cite on the release date, or just click on the ISBN link itself and use Special:BookSources to verify it. So do ISBNs need a cite, or can we just leave it out like we've always done?-- 十 八 01:09, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

Should weight be given to reviews from sites which, while reliable sources, aren't known for comics/manga? I'm currently digging up sources for a draft of Nijigahara Holograph and the two sources I'm asking about are Wired, known for tech, and AV Club, known for televison/film. The authors themselves of the articles do write about comics so I'm not really worried about that, but rather if the inclusion of the sources would give them undue weight since they don't really specialize in the topic.

I noticed someone was just adding Category:Japan Self-Defense Forces in fiction to a bunch of anime and manga articles, many of which don't seem to actually be about the Japan Self-Defense Forces. The category seems appropriate for articles like Yomigaeru Sora – Rescue Wings or Gate (novel series) where the main characters are members of the Japan Self-Defense Forces, but the category has also been added to other articles where the characters are members of entirely different organizations (e.g., Neon Genesis Evangelion and Full Metal Panic!). I've removed the category from those two, but I suspect it isn't accurate for many of the other articles. Could someone please go through the rest of the articles in the category and remove ones which aren't actually about the self-defense forces? Calathan ( talk) 20:41, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

I like this. For the Fullmetal Alchemist example, the committee is grouped together as Fullmetal Alchemist Production Committee (鋼の錬金術師製作委員会), followed by a long list (Ref: Media Arts DB).

So for example, if a person does not list a year of birth in his/her official profiles, but a reliable source (for our example, Crunchyroll) gives an age, would adding the year of birth given in the news article to the person's Wikipedia article be a BLP violation, or not? Narutolovehinata5 t c csd new 15:04, 6 January 2016 (UTC)
{{
Birth based on age as of date}}
so you don't have to pinpoint the year based on the news article. The template results in listing two years as possible birth years. Its only flaw is if the person's birthday occurs in that time between the interview and the writeup but if that is known then you'd have a more accurate source to begin with anyway.

I think I'll need some help here. A few months ago, consensus here determined that the airdates presented in articles should be whatever date they actually aired in, regardless if official sources say otherwise (see MOS:ANIME). This however, leads to two problems: 1. not all articles have been changed yet ( Attack on Titan still presents the "official" airdate rather than the actual one, and just a while ago I edited Nyaruko: Crawling with Love [may Miyu Matsuki rest in peace] to reflect this consensus), and 2. most anime articles aren't clear if the airdates they present are the actual airdates or the advertised ones. I suggest some kind of cleanup drive where editors will check articles, then check those article's sources, and determine if the airdates presented in the articles are the actual ones or not. If an article's presented airdate isn't the actual airdate, the article should be edited to fix it, with a footnote explaining the situation being added if necessary. If the article already has a footnote and an "official" airdate, the airdate presented to be changed while the footnote should be revised to reflect the change (similar to this edit I made). I raised this some time ago here, but there was little action taken, so here it is again. Narutolovehinata5 t c csd new 17:57, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

I would like to get a second opinion on a matter of contention I've run into on the Dance with Devils page. For the simulcast sub of this series, Funimation decided to change one characters' name from "Roen" to "Loewen". Since that is the "official" English translation, I thought it best to use that instead of the original spelling. However, 78.122.170.110 ( talk · contribs) and a number of others feel very passionately that this was a "mistake" on Funimation's part, and insist that the "Roen" spelling is the genuine one (see this and this diff). (I assume that this is probably due to those who want to stick with the spelling from their preferred pirate website). Anyway, after having to revert similar edits almost every other day for about the past month, I eventually added a hidden note explaining why we should use the Funimation translation, and urging anyone who wanted to change it to first bring it up for discussion on the talk page. Following this, 78.122.170.110 changed it again, calling the translation "a horrible mistake", and saying that using the "Loewen" spelling was "Lying to fans and giving them the wrong name". Could I get a bit of input from those who know what is usually done in situations such as this one? Thanks, G S Palmer ( talk • contribs) 14:51, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

basis of consistency with other articles that contain uncut air dates as well. Thus I would like to establish consensus first for remedying that throughout the affected episode lists. Personally I do not find that when an episode was first aired uncut would be of interest to readers of an encyclopedia, and that the episode lists are explicitly meant to hold the first air date only; the rest are superfluous. A preliminary search found seven lists this would affect:
1

Over at Ajin: Demi-Human editors have been adding english titles. As the series is licensed by Netflix and won't appear until after the entire series has been broadcast in japan, no official titles have been made available. The titles being added appear to be direct translations of the Japanese and are either taken from the fansubs, or from places such as[MyAnimeList. G S Palmer has been removing them, which I more or less support, but I'm not aware of anything saying what we we should do in these situations. Do we have a view on this, and if not, should we?

I'm getting increasingly annoyed at the fact that I can't expand Haruhi Fujioka further. I'm thinking about eventually getting it to GA (though no hurry :p). According to this old blog post, there exists an old issue of Pafu Magazine that contains incredibly interesting information about Ouran Koukou Host Club and Haruhi in particular. I really want to verify this information, and get some basic information like author and date, so I can add the information to the articles.
Does anyone have access to the "2003 rankings issue" of boy's love-magazine Pafu? If you do, could you verify the information or take some pictures so I can verify it myself? I would be eternally grateful. ~ Mable ( chat) 14:36, 18 February 2016 (UTC)

I've noticed that in some anime episode lists (like List of Cross Ange episodes and List of The Testament of Sister New Devil episodes and List of High School DxD episodes), some of the episode summaries are overly long or too short (the episode summaries in the List of Ai Yori Aoshi episodes are mostly copied from TV.com). I would like to quote the relevant guideline from Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Television#Plot_section:
For season articles, there are a couple of ways to present plot information: in a basic prose section that gives season story arcs and main plot points or a tabular format that sections off each individual episode with its own brief plot section (approximately 100–200 words for each, with upwards of 350 words for complex storylines, with the provision that articles using {{ episode list}} should not exceed 200 words in accordance with the instructions for that template).
As such, I think we should standardize the length of the plot summaries in episode lists by trimming or expanding the summaries or even possibly rewrite some of the plot summaries from scratch where necessary. Thoughts? Lord Sjones23 ( talk - contributions) 18:51, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
Hi, I'm Justin. For a school project I decided to research the magazine Weekly Shōnen Jump. However, reading the article it struck me just how promotional it sounds. It really reads as an advertisement. Question, why isn't there any criticism of the magazine in the article? As far as I'm concerned there's been plenty of criticism from both Western and Japanese magazine sources about Jump's heavy dosage of ecchi content, violence, and connections to terrorism. Why isn't any of this in the article? Please add some criticism to Weekly Shōnen Jump to stop it reading like an advertisement! Crazy Boy Justin ( talk) 06:08, 10 March 2016 (UTC)

Revisiting Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Anime_and_manga/Archive_37#Comics_Worth_Reading_and_Pop_Shock_Culture_RS.3F, which questioned why THEM was reliable and someone said:
THEM Anime, similar to AnimeOnDVD/Mania.com, has been around a long time, at least ten years. Its reviews have been quoted by other reliable sources and it has some industry backing. They also do meet the requirements of having specific guidelines for accepting submissions with editorial oversight. It also does have published credentials/info on its writers and staff. The, now former, editor and chief Carlos Ross was featured on G4's Attack of the Show, including discussing several of his reviews. [13] -- AnmaFinotera ( talk · contribs) 01:25, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
Indeed this discussion was from 2009 and our approach to sources has changed. THEM has no hallmarks of editorial quality. It is written by hobbyists and has no institutional pedigree. Being around for a long time is not a marker of reliability, quoting might be (depending on the specific quote), but where is this editorial oversight policy mentioned? Perhaps a link to this discussion worked a half-decade ago, but this is not a reliable source by today's standards. czar 14:35, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
I'm quite familiar with the website and have come into contact with their reviews on occassion, including Carlos. Pretty sure I've seen their reviews quoted in journals that I've used for my own researches, as well as, more importantly, in advertisements by American licensors. They're also mentioned frequently by ANN and other reliable people in the American anime scene too. The site itself is definitely reliable, though they've had some new blood lately so I don't know if that applies to their newer reviewers as well.

Many of the series articles with separate character lists do not list the characters in the series article—why? If the characters are important to the series, they should be covered in the series article (at least in brief), no? And then split out summary style as needed? Many series articles have empty Character sections apart from a {{ see also}}/{{ main}} template that links to the separate character page. It would be more helpful for readers if these sections at least summarized that other article's contents. I don't see the logic by which character list articles receive special exemption from the summary style conventions. czar 18:45, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
I'm thinking about adding a progression template for this project using Template:Progression rainbow and I think the four major milestones should be "All articles FA or FL class", "All articles GA, FA or FL class", "All articles higher than Stub class", "All articles higher than Start class" and "All lists featured". I'm using WP:VG and WP:SQUAREENIX as models for the achievements. I think it would be beneficial for this project to achieve these milestones. Thoughts? Lord Sjones23 ( talk - contributions) 17:43, 24 March 2016 (UTC)
Considering the difficulty of getting featured, how about replacing "All lists Featured" with "5% of articles and lists GA-Class or better" like WP:VG or just for articles considering the lists are already at 10%. (the list percentage could also be lowered) It would be more realistic and attainable. (and could always be increased if reached) Also, can you double check the code for the Stub and C class articles? Like I said before, the percentages shouldn't be the same, but rather should be cumulative if I'm understanding right. Opencooper ( talk) 21:40, 24 March 2016 (UTC)
All articles higher than Stub class: 69.1% complete | ||
Pertaining to the discussion to include the progression templates, I thought that we should make a push to destubify all anime and manga-related articles and turn those into Start-Class articles or better. Currently, we have 59.1% of articles higher than stub class and there's currently 5,155 stubs and is not an undoable task. Is anyone else interested in joining this project?

What would be good enough for Start? I've recently sourced Yuriko Chiba and Azusa Kataoka, but can hardly find any biographical information about them.

keep the main article focused while most of the plot fans want to see is on a character listThere's the rub. As a generalist encyclopedia, if we accept that there is not enough secondary, reliable source coverage to write an encyclopedic article on a set of series' characters alone, then we acknowledge that fans would be better served by another (specialist) wiki for this information. czar 14:09, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
So uh, if anyone's interested, List of Sword Art Online characters is being proposed for merger with Sword Art Online.

To help cleanup tagging efforts, I recommend {{

Similar to the most recent discussion at WikiProject Square Enix, I'm thinking that we should cut down all of the cleanup tags to zero. Currently, 4,640 articles have tags, with a total of 7,295 issues. Please do your part: if you see a tag, fix it and remove it. Some are very simple like adding title to references, or archiving references; some of you are also excellent writers, and we have some intro sections and some plot sections that could use your help. If everyone does a few, it will all be done, and will be a milestone for us like no Stubs will be. Here are some Featured Articles and Featured Lists with cleanup tags:
So, there's only one FA and five FLs, let's get that down to zero! Any thoughts or objections? Lord Sjones23 ( talk - contributions) 17:24, 24 March 2016 (UTC)
That was fast! Now we have just two more featured lists left, and we'll have zero tags for it. Also we have 52 good articles that need cleanup, minus the other two that might have to be merged ( Big the Cat and Blue Dragon). We need to shorten that to zero also. Lord Sjones23 ( talk - contributions) 23:22, 24 March 2016 (UTC)

Lord Sjones23 ( talk - contributions) 01:10, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
Here's the full list of our GAs with tags on them. Just like the FAs and FLs, to help them keep their status we should have zero tags on these as well. Here they are:
So, we have 52 GAs total like I mentioned earlier. Think we can do this? Lord Sjones23 ( talk - contributions) 03:23, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
What about demoted GAs? Some of them are still good enough that it shouldn't be hard to bring them back up to standards. Sailor Moon comes to mind; there's plenty of sources about it which could be used to bring it back to GA-status; in fact, with all the coverage it's gotten, it could be a possible FA in the future.

The IP editor 68.132.38.134 keeps removing anime articles from Category:Post-apocalyptic television series with a stated reason of "It belongs to the Post-apocalyptic anime and manga category". I've tried to explain on his talk page that both categories are needed, but the he doesn't seem to agree. I've been having a hard time understanding what he is getting at since he is only communicating through edit summaries. However, I'm thinking from his latest edit summaries, and because he made Category:Post-apocalyptic anime and manga be a sub-category of Category:Post-apocalyptic television series (and also a subcategory of Category:Post-apocalyptic films), that he wants to keep Category:Post-apocalyptic television series as only directly including live-action shows. However, I just don't think the way he is categorizing things works, since lots of things in Category:Post-apocalyptic anime and manga aren't TV series (since that category also include manga, anime OVAs, anime films, etc.). I think the best way to categorize these pages is to just have them in both Category:Post-apocalyptic anime and manga and Category:Post-apocalyptic television series. I suppose an alternative would be to create a new Category:Post-apocalyptic anime television series, and make that be a subcategory of both Category:Post-apocalyptic anime and manga and Category:Post-apocalyptic television series, but I don't see any reason to do that rather than just categorizing them in both categories. Anyway, if anyone could help out with these articles (see the IP editors edit history for the articles involved) or give any opinions on what should be done, that would be helpful.

It's been a while since I've had to deal with this, but can I revert these edits on the grounds of fancruft? Here is some context. This user argues that this protagonist with weak emotions should have his physical attractions to a character noted. He also added insignificant events like "oh, they shared an umbrella", and has backed off from that point after I noted it.
The thing is, this character has noted other characters physical attractiveness before, and I believe this user is really stretching the importance of things here.
