Forum:The Manga Wiki

The Manga Wiki has been void of editors for a month. And it's been a bit longer than that since I tried to contact the admin for that wiki and he still hasn't been back.

I intended to bring that wiki into the Wikia Anime Project (Which would become the Wikia Animanga Project), but paused at that idea because the admin suddenly showed up one day and made a minor change.

I'm wondering if I should just bring it into the project now, even though bringing it into the project will alter the stated goals of the project. (The Manga Wiki conversely is actually trying to be about Anime and Manga, even though there was already a Anime Wiki, now known as the Animepedia. The adoption of the wiki would mean all stuff on Anime would be moved to the Animepedia and the Manga wiki would only be about Manga. Though I don't see the purpose of two Wikia on the same subject.)

Though, this question also makes me wonder when I should think of the Con wiki I was thinking of in the end for the project. Currently I use the Animepedia as the head for the project, making global things come from there. But with the Manga wiki in the project (And possibly Comics and Cartoons in the future) using the Animepedia as the head wouldn't fit. The end goal was to have the Animepedia about anime, a Mangapedia about Manga, and (Ignoring the Commics and Cartoons for the moment.) the Conwiki which would be at the top of the project. The Conwiki would hold all the things such as the global CSS and JS, and the Shared Templates and Mirrored Images. The Conwiki would also hold the general information for Anime, Manga, etc... And could also hold the information on the Companies and people who create the Anime and Manga. I was also to build a system accompanying the wiki which would allow Anime:Naruto:Naruto Uzumaki to link to w:c:Naruto:Naruto Uzumaki, and Anime:Code Geass:Geass to link to Anime:Code Geass/Geass. Additionally, Con:Naruto or Con:Naruto:Uzumaki Naruto would link to a page generated on the Conwiki which would give links to the Animepedia's information, the Mangapedia's information, and in this case also link to the Narutopedia's information. (p.s. I have the first version of the linking working, though I'm having title changing issues.)

That speculation on special wikia sharing an articledatabase would've been interesting to. Though if I had the code to work with (Wikia's differs largely from normal MediaWiki) I'd probably work to build some shared-wikia features that could be applied so some wikia. Any opinions on any of the subjects? ~Dantman(talk) tricks Mar 29, 2007 @ 00:20 (UTC)
