The issue of whether merging of like/same fields in tables like a DVD release table (eg. here and here) are misleading to readers or reduces the repetitiveness of the table has started at Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of Toradora! episodes/archive1.

Hi there, I just want some opinions on whether the 'Notable manga titles' section should be part of Hakusensha's article (or pretty much any publisher's article). Amaya Sakura ( talk) 11:59, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
FLC for One Piece's manga list has a disagreement on whether the end of the second paragraph should note how many volumes Madman has published or and whether adding that info, or the wording as it is now, would violate WP:UNDUE and or could be construed without the info to mean to the average reader that madman would also have the same number of volumes printed. 陣 内 Jinnai 20:34, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
User:ElfenNyu has been constantly editing List of Fullmetal Alchemist characters changing the name of List of Fullmetal Alchemist characters#Lin Yao's name to "Ling Yao" saying that such name is used in the 2nd anime adaptation. While that it's true, in the English manga and the guidebook from the series his name is Lin Yao. I tried talking with him in his talk page, but he ignores me. He is also doing that in other fullmetal alchemist articles like Edward Elric. Another problem is that he is using scanlation sites to source such changes. This is the second time (or more if I don't remember well) that I bring an issue like so sorry. Regards. Tintor2 ( talk) 18:38, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

Looking for some admin help. There are currently three versions to File:Twin Spica vol 1 manga cover.jpg, and I would like to have the first two deleted as they have been made obsolete by a better quality digital image from the publisher. The first two versions of the file come from different book scans which crop the original image slightly and produce different colors.

The article Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 article is pretty messed up. Because of its nature of having a Plot twist, there are some elements that that can pretty much mess up the story for the ones who haven't seen it. While observing WP:SPOIL on this article, an editor named User:DBailey635 keeps on acting like the king of an article and puts one character's apparent death everywhere on the page, not to mention that the episode synopses from episode 8 onwards are not fully summarized.

A few months ago, the editor Sxerks attempted to add in an open Wikia wiki link into the EL section of Minami-ke. Dinoguy1000 and I attempted to remove the link, in accordance with WP:ELNO point 12: Links to open wikis, except those with a substantial history of stability and a substantial number of editors. The wiki in question fails both these criteria, and the user Sxerks has returned to what seems to be little more than trying to advertise his wiki, if the wiki's history is any indication. I have also attempted to bring up these points on the talk page, but the user thinks that it would be easier just to dismiss the points of WP:ELNO by stating the criteria are "irrelevant" and shouldn't be applied.-- 十 八 19:03, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
While adding Romaji to Music of Cutie Honey I came to realise that {{ tracklist}} never envisaged very long track titles (see the article for my reasoning).

There is an IP editor complaining about an apparent hoax entry in ANN's encyclopedia.

This is just a notice that I have twice reverted an attempt to change the dates on Mobile Suit Gundam 00 from Anno Domini to Common Era within the past week.

I can only assume that the second editor is actually the same as the first editor.

I think Collectonian is right to say that the CN vs. AS discussion on Talk:Blood+#Network has moved beyond the scope of that article, though I do not see much point in moving it to e.g. the AS article, since it would likely eventually end up here. So lets just bring it here.
Based on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim FAQ "Adult Swim is Cartoon Network's late-night programming block" and "Adult Swim is a separate entity that is shown on Cartoon Network but has its own programming, marketing, branding, and web presence.".
I'm willing to concede the programming block argument. However, I feel that the "separate entity" portion has not been properly addressed for the following reasons:
One idea I had was updating the the block templates used in the articles. For example add a programming block field to the TV template, or "Nielsen Ratings based on: " field, or something like that. That seems like an easy way to address it (it's not like we need to devote sentences to what is basically going to be the same for several Anime out there).

I wanted to check if there's a consensus on name usage when writing about characters. It seems that we usually refer to characters by their given names.

I was wondering whether or not mentioning figures and merchandise is acceptable for Anime/manga articles. I've seen that in the guideline for characters it's actually a good reference point about the notability of a character. But, does this also apply to non-character articles? I specifically mention this for some mecha anime and manga series, since several of them are attached to them as part of their business model, for example, a lot of the most recent series from the Soul of Chogokin toy line. So if it is acceptable to mention such types of merchandise, how long should it be and in which section? Of course, if it's unacceptable, there is no need to mention that. Jfgslo ( talk) 16:46, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dragon Quest Retsuden: Roto no Monshō - i'm posting this AfD as arguments are being made that may affect many series. Specifically that high sales figures (for long-running series) should be enough to show notability. There has even been discussion of revamping the notability guideline based on this. 陣 内 Jinnai 19:12, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
Voted delete for the first and keep for the second. I never mentioned sales, number of volumes or duration of the publication as my rationales. Sales are relative. A 6K tall mountain is something if it's in the Alps but not much worth hype if it's in the Himalaya. -- KrebMarkt 06:18, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
It would have been nice if someone had mentioned this discussion to me since I was one of the main people arguing for the manga in question to be kept. I was arguing to keep primarily on the basis that Dragon Quest Retsuden: Roto no Monshō seems to be one of the most successful manga ever released by Enix/Square Enix, with the raw sales numbers being a secondary reason why the series seems notable. While Enix/Square Enix don't publish as much manga as some larger publishing companies, they have published enough over the years that I would think one of their top series must be notable. Personally, I think that WP:BK is insufficient for manga, and that a sales guideline should be added (either to WP:BK or as a separate added notability guideline for manga). I know that User:Collectonian is strongly opposed to this idea, and he was the main person who opposed adding such a guideline to WP:BK when it was discussed on the talk page there. However, I think he is mistaken in his assumption that any notable manga would have coverage in reliable sources that we here can find. A lot of these manga seem to have signs that they should be notable, such as long runs and high sales, but still lack reviews. Rather than the lack of reviews being a sign that these series really aren't notable after all, I think the lack of reviews is a sign that even notable manga aren't always reviewed in Japan, or the reviews aren't kept online where they are accessable. I personally think that we could come up with some acceptable guideline for considering manga notable in addition to what is in WP:BK. For example, something such as having at least 5 volumes with sales of at least 500,000 copies per volume, which I think most people (not necessarily most people here on this talk page, but most people on Wikipedia in general) would consider clearly notable. I would at least like to see some such guideline proposed and put to a larger discussion, as I feel that the articles being kept or no-concensused at AfD is evidence that many people think the current guidelines are insufficient. I also think that modifying the guidelines for manga (or for WP:BK in general) would bring them more in line with other notablity policies on Wikipedia. For example, the guideline for music allows sales figures, while the guideline for athletes makes an assumption that anyone who is successful enough to reach the top level is notable even if coverage can't be found (someone who took 1 at bat in Major League Baseball seems clearly less notable to me than a manga that sold millions of copies). There are also de-facto policies where every real community, every major geographical feature, and every high school are kept at AfD on an assumption that they are notable even if coverage can't be found, as coverage of places in some countries may be hard to come by. I think a similar case could be made that manga in Japan lacks coverage compared to similarly notable works from other contries (though for manga, unlike places and high schools, it is clear that not every manga is notable). Calathan ( talk) 15:44, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
Is anyone against me giving this term back its own article? It seems "off" that it was merged with Yaoi, considering that they are mostly not the same thing (one is more about the emotional, the other is more about the physical; though they do sometimes cross paths). I feel that having the term Shōnen-ai redirect to Yaoi only creates confusion by making some people feel that they are the same thing. The redirect of Shōnen-ai does not even redirect to the Shōnen-ai section in the Yaoi article. Editor Malkinann, who proposed and made the merge, gives this reason for making the redirect that way: "it's not a good idea to redirect it to the section on shonen-ai, as there is a tension between shonen-ai as classics and shonen-ai as 'light yaoi'. the section only treats classic shonen-ai.)" What do I think of that? Well, now...any manga or anime considered to be shonen-ai will instead point to Yaoi. Even with Shōnen-ai having a small section within the Yaoi article, it makes it seem as though Shōnen-ai is simply some subgenre of Yaoi. Though the term Shōnen-ai has had negative connotations in Japan, due to its previous association with pederasty, a lot of American manga/anime fans distinguish between Shōnen-ai and Yaoi; as we know, they usually take Shōnen-ai to simply be about the emotional...and Yaoi to feature more of the physical (such as kissing and sex, though it is sometimes also about the emotional). Yes, some people (especially males) call any type of homoromantic male relationship "Yaoi," but that does not mean that these two articles (Shōnen-ai, and Yaoi) should be merged.
Shotacon and Bara (genre) still have articles, and I do not see why Shōnen-ai cannot/should not have its own article either. It needs a little fixing up, such as with more references, but it is a solid enough article. Sure, it is small, but so is the Shotacon article. Both can likely be significantly expanded. Flyer22 ( talk) 16:56, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
The terms yaoi and shōnen-ai are sometimes used by western fans to differentiate between the contents of the genre. In this case, yaoi is used to describe titles that contain sex scenes and other sexually explicit themes and shōnen-ai is used to describe titles that focus more on romance and do not include explicit sexual content.

A couple of months ago, there was an update to the referencing system that allows for list-defined references. I know in a few cases, using list-defined references may be idea. One is to prevent the main citation containing the reference from being inadvertently deleted when there are multiple citations to the the same reference. Another is to sort a list of references in a more logical order, such as chronologically or alphabetically. Or in the case of episode lists, make the code a little bit easier to read. — Farix ( t | c) 21:25, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

I'm looking for someone who is willing to give a somewhat thorough GAN review of Twin Spica in the next few days. I realized I have just over a week before traveling for the holiday season and would like to be able to directly address any questions reviewers may have before I'm reduced to sporadic Internet. This is an interesting series because there were practically no English sources on it, and I had little to start with. Even scanlations are stalled at less than a third of the series. I was lucky enough that Vertical Inc announced a licensing agreement in September, so a few preview analyses were made. That license won't be published until May, and neither of the two adaptations have been licensed either. (Virtually nothing covering the original English broadcast.) This article has potential though, and I aim to at least get it into FAC by the time the first English volume is published. Thanks in advance! Arsonal ( talk) 10:51, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

Since several Wikipedia-Books are Anime/Manga-related, could this project adopt the book-class? This would really help WikiProject Wikipedia-Books, as the WP Anime & Manga people can oversee books like Seasons of YuYu Hakusho much better than we could as far as merging, deletion, content, and such are concerned. Eventually there probably will be a "Books for discussion" process, so that would be incorporated in the Article Alerts. I'm placing this here rather than on the template page since several taskforces would be concerned.

I've recently wanted to start cleaning up some manga magazine articles on my watchlist, and after looking at Shojo Beat, the idea struck me that the project may benefit from a serialization template which makes inputting the information easier, and would also standardize the serialized manga of the many manga magazines attached to this project. Currently, most manga magazine articles have maybe a basic history (if that) and a huge list of serialized titles. Looking over Hana to Yume is a good example of this.
Now, while the table used in Shojo Beat is a good example, I would also like to add in an optional field for the illustrator if it is different from the author, or otherwise change the column to "creator(s)" and merely label them as (author)/(artist) if applicable. Or have two columns, author and illustrator, and in the case where there is one author just make it so that the two columns are merged for that particular series. I think the genre column could be optional too, and the completed column would only be applicable to non-Japanese manga magazines, I believe. So what do you think?-- 十 八 08:33, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

I wanted to get the opinion of other editors on the status of Crunchyroll licenses. There are several anime series it licenses that have not been licensed by any other companies, e.g. the currently airing Kemono no Souja Erin. In other cases, there are some series that have been dual licensed to Crunchyroll and another company that releases it in home video format. In writing articles about the various anime solely licensed to Crunchyroll, is it preferable to use their translations of fictional names and concepts or to use direct Hepburn romanization and translation? Reliable sources may rely on these translations for their reviews, but the website also seems to have a reputation of not having a consistent quality with translations.

There's a lot of cleanup that needs some work here. Not only are there multiple character articles, there are multiple character lists with lots images and bio templates in the lists and a lot of excessive detail and articles on in-universe elements that don't have any real-world relationship. Normal spinouts:
The episodes actually could be split into their seasonal releases. At the very least I don't think the OVAs need to be merged here as that's 70 something episodes with them. The TV episodes should be moved though and a master list be created.
The only ones that might have any chance of their enough notability would be the indivisual characters listed. Given these were created before the US DVD releases some research should be done before merging those. The rest i doubt it. 陣 内 Jinnai 08:29, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
User:Dsdsasds added a point about MyAnimeList on Clannad (visual novel), but I do not believe the website meets WP:RS, and since it was not listed at WP:ANIME/RS, I decided to make a thread here to make it clear if it is to be considered reliable or not for inclusion.-- 十 八 01:29, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
Looking at the above post, it's source on anime description is indeed unreliable. In fact most of their sources are quotes from wikipedia articles. However what source I'm using from the web, is the score of the anime ranked by thousands of anonymous users, not its reviews nor it's anime description. Dsdsasds ( talk) 01:38, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
It is able to prove itself easily that the scores obtained is indeed judged by the thousands of users. This can be seen as even it's own wikipedia article, MyAnimeList had said that 'The website was created and is actively maintained by Garrett Gyssler, who goes by the alias of "Xinil". Currently, there are thirty-eight staff members who update the anime and manga databases, moderate the community, and post news stories.[1] As of July 14, 2009, MyAnimeList claims to have registered over 200,000 users, of whom over 13,000 sign in every day.' And if you read the last sentence, there is 13k users signing in, thus it is not surprising it can reach 17k of votes on its ranking. Wikipedia had acknowledged it 13k users claiming, and thus had it added on it's wikipedia article. Unless you can actually edit the article that the article meant that the claim was a lie from MyAnimeList itself from the start, I do not find the web anywhere near suspicious/lie. Anyway, I'm a member of the website for 2 years and I do not consider the site a fraud at all, It's system was true and neat to me all this years. You may however view the last sentence as unreliable source as it is a mere quote of me, but I have my own reason for being so determined why I think the source is reliable. For the copyright issues, they had references linked back to the wikipedia issue at the end of the description, that is how I'm able to know the description for anime they used are source cited from wikipedia. The score of clannad obtained claimed was not a user content as well. If you scroll down to it's statistic, you will see that the score is now Scored: 9.011 (scored by 19211 users) and it's changing constantly depending on the the vast number of users editing on the MyAnimeList cPanel. You may create a new free account yourself, and rank the anime yourself and see if the changes apply to see the proof for yourself. I hope you can reconsider my entry, and sorry for the numerous edits. Dsdsasds ( talk) 01:51, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
Absolutely not. The vetting for user submitted content is minimal, and I've seen many, many mistakes for what should be supposedly obvious information. ANN's encyclopedia isn't considered reliable, so MAL's submitted content certainly isn't. And I say that as someone who maintains a account there for keeping track of what I have or haven't seen/read. I still question the notability of the site even having an article (not to mention the ridiculous lack of neutrality in its creation), but theres no chance it will be considered a reliable source. And user revews have never been reliable sources, no matter how they are collated (and being ever changing, they aren't practical to use). Once again, this is something we don't allow with ANN's user reviews (part of a much larger site which we do use information from if its not user submitted), theres no chance of it happening here.

I think Collectonian is right to say that the CN vs. AS discussion on Talk:Blood+#Network has moved beyond the scope of that article, though I do not see much point in moving it to e.g. the AS article, since it would likely eventually end up here. So lets just bring it here.
Based on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim FAQ "Adult Swim is Cartoon Network's late-night programming block" and "Adult Swim is a separate entity that is shown on Cartoon Network but has its own programming, marketing, branding, and web presence.".
I'm willing to concede the programming block argument. However, I feel that the "separate entity" portion has not been properly addressed for the following reasons:
One idea I had was updating the the block templates used in the articles. For example add a programming block field to the TV template, or "Nielsen Ratings based on: " field, or something like that. That seems like an easy way to address it (it's not like we need to devote sentences to what is basically going to be the same for several Anime out there).

I was wondering whether or not mentioning figures and merchandise is acceptable for Anime/manga articles. I've seen that in the guideline for characters it's actually a good reference point about the notability of a character. But, does this also apply to non-character articles? I specifically mention this for some mecha anime and manga series, since several of them are attached to them as part of their business model, for example, a lot of the most recent series from the Soul of Chogokin toy line. So if it is acceptable to mention such types of merchandise, how long should it be and in which section? Of course, if it's unacceptable, there is no need to mention that.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dragon Quest Retsuden: Roto no Monshō - i'm posting this AfD as arguments are being made that may affect many series.

Voted delete for the first and keep for the second. I never mentioned sales, number of volumes or duration of the publication as my rationales. Sales are relative.

It would have been nice if someone had mentioned this discussion to me since I was one of the main people arguing for the manga in question to be kept. I was arguing to keep primarily on the basis that Dragon Quest Retsuden: Roto no Monshō seems to be one of the most successful manga ever released by Enix/Square Enix, with the raw sales numbers being a secondary reason why the series seems notable. While Enix/Square Enix don't publish as much manga as some larger publishing companies, they have published enough over the years that I would think one of their top series must be notable. Personally, I think that WP:BK is insufficient for manga, and that a sales guideline should be added (either to WP:BK or as a separate added notability guideline for manga). I know that User:Collectonian is strongly opposed to this idea, and he was the main person who opposed adding such a guideline to WP:BK when it was discussed on the talk page there. However, I think he is mistaken in his assumption that any notable manga would have coverage in reliable sources that we here can find. A lot of these manga seem to have signs that they should be notable, such as long runs and high sales, but still lack reviews. Rather than the lack of reviews being a sign that these series really aren't notable after all, I think the lack of reviews is a sign that even notable manga aren't always reviewed in Japan, or the reviews aren't kept online where they are accessable. I personally think that we could come up with some acceptable guideline for considering manga notable in addition to what is in WP:BK. For example, something such as having at least 5 volumes with sales of at least 500,000 copies per volume, which I think most people (not necessarily most people here on this talk page, but most people on Wikipedia in general) would consider clearly notable. I would at least like to see some such guideline proposed and put to a larger discussion, as I feel that the articles being kept or no-concensused at AfD is evidence that many people think the current guidelines are insufficient. I also think that modifying the guidelines for manga (or for WP:BK in general) would bring them more in line with other notablity policies on Wikipedia. For example, the guideline for music allows sales figures, while the guideline for athletes makes an assumption that anyone who is successful enough to reach the top level is notable even if coverage can't be found (someone who took 1 at bat in Major League Baseball seems clearly less notable to me than a manga that sold millions of copies). There are also de-facto policies where every real community, every major geographical feature, and every high school are kept at AfD on an assumption that they are notable even if coverage can't be found, as coverage of places in some countries may be hard to come by. I think a similar case could be made that manga in Japan lacks coverage compared to similarly notable works from other contries (though for manga, unlike places and high schools, it is clear that not every manga is notable).

Is anyone against me giving this term back its own article? It seems "off" that it was merged with Yaoi, considering that they are mostly not the same thing (one is more about the emotional, the other is more about the physical; though they do sometimes cross paths). I feel that having the term Shōnen-ai redirect to Yaoi only creates confusion by making some people feel that they are the same thing. The redirect of Shōnen-ai does not even redirect to the Shōnen-ai section in the Yaoi article. Editor Malkinann, who proposed and made the merge, gives this reason for making the redirect that way: "it's not a good idea to redirect it to the section on shonen-ai, as there is a tension between shonen-ai as classics and shonen-ai as 'light yaoi'. the section only treats classic shonen-ai.)" What do I think of that? Well, now...any manga or anime considered to be shonen-ai will instead point to Yaoi. Even with Shōnen-ai having a small section within the Yaoi article, it makes it seem as though Shōnen-ai is simply some subgenre of Yaoi. Though the term Shōnen-ai has had negative connotations in Japan, due to its previous association with pederasty, a lot of American manga/anime fans distinguish between Shōnen-ai and Yaoi; as we know, they usually take Shōnen-ai to simply be about the emotional...and Yaoi to feature more of the physical (such as kissing and sex, though it is sometimes also about the emotional). Yes, some people (especially males) call any type of homoromantic male relationship "Yaoi," but that does not mean that these two articles (Shōnen-ai, and Yaoi) should be merged.
Shotacon and Bara (genre) still have articles, and I do not see why Shōnen-ai cannot/should not have its own article either. It needs a little fixing up, such as with more references, but it is a solid enough article. Sure, it is small, but so is the Shotacon article. Both can likely be significantly expanded. Flyer22 ( talk) 16:56, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
The terms yaoi and shōnen-ai are sometimes used by western fans to differentiate between the contents of the genre. In this case, yaoi is used to describe titles that contain sex scenes and other sexually explicit themes and shōnen-ai is used to describe titles that focus more on romance and do not include explicit sexual content.

A couple of months ago, there was an update to the referencing system that allows for list-defined references. I know in a few cases, using list-defined references may be idea. One is to prevent the main citation containing the reference from being inadvertently deleted when there are multiple citations to the the same reference. Another is to sort a list of references in a more logical order, such as chronologically or alphabetically. Or in the case of episode lists, make the code a little bit easier to read. — Farix ( t | c) 21:25, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

I was lucky enough that Vertical Inc announced a licensing agreement in September, so a few preview analyses were made. That license won't be published until May, and neither of the two adaptations have been licensed either. (Virtually nothing covering the original English broadcast.)

I've recently wanted to start cleaning up some manga magazine articles on my watchlist, and after looking at Shojo Beat, the idea struck me that the project may benefit from a serialization template which makes inputting the information easier, and would also standardize the serialized manga of the many manga magazines attached to this project. Currently, most manga magazine articles have maybe a basic history (if that) and a huge list of serialized titles. Looking over Hana to Yume is a good example of this.
Now, while the table used in Shojo Beat is a good example, I would also like to add in an optional field for the illustrator if it is different from the author, or otherwise change the column to "creator(s)" and merely label them as (author)/(artist) if applicable. Or have two columns, author and illustrator, and in the case where there is one author just make it so that the two columns are merged for that particular series. I think the genre column could be optional too, and the completed column would only be applicable to non-Japanese manga magazines, I believe. So what do you think?-- 十 八 08:33, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

I wanted to get the opinion of other editors on the status of Crunchyroll licenses. There are several anime series it licenses that have not been licensed by any other companies, e.g. the currently airing Kemono no Souja Erin.

In writing articles about the various anime solely licensed to Crunchyroll, is it preferable to use their translations of fictional names and concepts or to use direct Hepburn romanization and translation?

Power was restored about 4 1/2 hours ago with cable internet restored just a few minutes ago. It will take a while before I am fully caught up in the discussions. — Farix ( t | c) 23:32, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
Because Farix removed autolinking back in June, there are about 1068 articles using the template which will need to be fixed so the articles of the voice actors are linked to. Also, the documentation for the template was never updated and still states that it will autolink the names used in it. I nominate Farix to do it since he's the one who created this mess.

It seems we need some help editing the List of Fairy Tail characters article. The article has been tagged with in-universe style and source issue problems since last year. I'm looking for any secondary information in addition to sources and the likes to add to the character descriptions. As well, any help in regards to reworking character bios would be appreciated.

Neon Genesis Evangelion (anime) is using the fansite Evamonkey in Neon Genesis Evangelion (anime)#Further reading for an unknown reason (it seems like a guide). The fansite's administrator himself states he is a fan of the series and a student. I removed it but it was reverted because of the things it contains. I tried discussing it with User:Gwern, but no clear reason was given. Regards. Tintor2 ( talk) 23:40, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
Is the newly added Anime Barnstar wanted, given the two existing Anime awards?
If not, should one or both of the existing awards be listed among the topical barnstars at WP:Barnstars?
Note: The new barnstar was created in bad faith but I have re-defined it to standard barnstar language, "The Anime Barnstar is awarded to those who make outstanding contributions to Anime-related content." I was unaware of the two other awards when I did that.
Note 2: The image in this barnstar is the subject of a deltion discussion, Wikipedia:Files for deletion/2009 December 22#File:Anime barnstar.png davidwr/( talk)/( contribs)/( e-mail) 23:04, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
There's a lot of cleanup that needs some work here. Not only are there multiple character articles, there are multiple character lists with lots images and bio templates in the lists and a lot of excessive detail and articles on in-universe elements that don't have any real-world relationship. Normal spinouts:
The episodes actually could be split into their seasonal releases. At the very least I don't think the OVAs need to be merged here as that's 70 something episodes with them. The TV episodes should be moved though and a master list be created.
The only ones that might have any chance of their enough notability would be the indivisual characters listed. Given these were created before the US DVD releases some research should be done before merging those. The rest i doubt it. 陣 内 Jinnai 08:29, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
User:Dsdsasds added a point about MyAnimeList on Clannad (visual novel), but I do not believe the website meets WP:RS, and since it was not listed at WP:ANIME/RS, I decided to make a thread here to make it clear if it is to be considered reliable or not for inclusion.-- 十 八 01:29, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
Looking at the above post, it's source on anime description is indeed unreliable. In fact most of their sources are quotes from wikipedia articles. However what source I'm using from the web, is the score of the anime ranked by thousands of anonymous users, not its reviews nor it's anime description. Dsdsasds ( talk) 01:38, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
It is able to prove itself easily that the scores obtained is indeed judged by the thousands of users. This can be seen as even it's own wikipedia article, MyAnimeList had said that 'The website was created and is actively maintained by Garrett Gyssler, who goes by the alias of "Xinil". Currently, there are thirty-eight staff members who update the anime and manga databases, moderate the community, and post news stories.[1] As of July 14, 2009, MyAnimeList claims to have registered over 200,000 users, of whom over 13,000 sign in every day.' And if you read the last sentence, there is 13k users signing in, thus it is not surprising it can reach 17k of votes on its ranking. Wikipedia had acknowledged it 13k users claiming, and thus had it added on it's wikipedia article. Unless you can actually edit the article that the article meant that the claim was a lie from MyAnimeList itself from the start, I do not find the web anywhere near suspicious/lie. Anyway, I'm a member of the website for 2 years and I do not consider the site a fraud at all, It's system was true and neat to me all this years. You may however view the last sentence as unreliable source as it is a mere quote of me, but I have my own reason for being so determined why I think the source is reliable. For the copyright issues, they had references linked back to the wikipedia issue at the end of the description, that is how I'm able to know the description for anime they used are source cited from wikipedia. The score of clannad obtained claimed was not a user content as well. If you scroll down to it's statistic, you will see that the score is now Scored: 9.011 (scored by 19211 users) and it's changing constantly depending on the the vast number of users editing on the MyAnimeList cPanel. You may create a new free account yourself, and rank the anime yourself and see if the changes apply to see the proof for yourself. I hope you can reconsider my entry, and sorry for the numerous edits. Dsdsasds ( talk) 01:51, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
Absolutely not. The vetting for user submitted content is minimal, and I've seen many, many mistakes for what should be supposedly obvious information. ANN's encyclopedia isn't considered reliable, so MAL's submitted content certainly isn't. And I say that as someone who maintains a account there for keeping track of what I have or haven't seen/read. I still question the notability of the site even having an article (not to mention the ridiculous lack of neutrality in its creation), but theres no chance it will be considered a reliable source. And user revews have never been reliable sources, no matter how they are collated (and being ever changing, they aren't practical to use). Once again, this is something we don't allow with ANN's user reviews (part of a much larger site which we do use information from if its not user submitted), theres no chance of it happening here.

Based on the previous discussion and the request on my talk page, I finally got around to creating {{ Serialization list}}. Note that the template currently is just a rough draft, and is open to being changed - in particular, I'm wondering if the English, kanji, and romaji titles should be placed into separate columns or whether a different background color for ongoing series would be preferred (and I'd also appreciate someone else writing some stub documentation ;) ). Thoughts? 「 ダイノガイ 千?!」 ? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000 03:06, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
|Completed=
in calls of {{
Serialization list}}, though now that you mention it, I still have to add a bit to {{
Serialization list/header}} to allow the column's header to be removed as well. 「

Talk⇒Dinoguy1000 09:42, 23 December 2009 (UTC)|Last=
or |Completed=
; it is solely determined by whether |Ongoing=
is set or not(and, conversely, |Ongoing=
doesn't have any effect on the output of |Last=
or |Completed=
). {{Serialization list}} would handle SB's list just fine; I'll convert it in a minute to demonstrate. =) 「

|Ongoing=
can be blanked to remove the highlighting, if you really want to leave the empty parameter in a page's source. I also changed "Series" to "Title" per your suggestion; I had misgivings on that choice from the start (and kanji/romaji has been in there from the start; see above). ;P
|Genre=
. This field is problematic enough on the main articles and often become centers of original research. Unless that is we make it a habit of explicitly referencing the genre in the articles and/or table. —

Further tests to the template show that the "Completed?" column still does not disappear even if the field is removed. See Template:Serialization list#Japanese magazines. Also, when both the "author" and "illustrator" fields are used, the illustrator's name is shifted over to the "genre" column.-- 十 八 02:08, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
{{Serialization list/header | Completed = no}}
, and for adding the "Illustrator" column, use {{Serialization list/header | Illustrator = yes}}
- these can both be combined, BTW. Sorry for not updating the documentation appropriately! =) --
