Wiki Suggestion

Post by Catahn »

So this is just one of my hairbrained "Wouldn't that be a nice feature" thoughts that went through my head. May be a great idea, may be the worst idea in the world. May be a great idea that is not worth the hassle to implement. I just figured I'd share it and see what you think.

My thought is what if there was a page, like the recent changes page, but instead of dealing with any and all changes it only dealt with chapter changes? So basically a person (like myself) could come to the site and instead of having to click on every series to see if it has been updated with a new chapter / partial chapter, I could go to a single page to see the change log on a chapter basis.

Only reason I suggest this is half the time I look at recent changes and there are too many changes listed for me to find what I am really looking for. Did Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei have a new chapter come out? Did the teaser project Tsurugi no Joou to Rakuin no Ko come out with a new chapter? Did Sword art online update at all?

Most of the time I look and my eyes gloss over due to the sheer quantity of changes. Often times a single chapter will be updated multiple times, with or without a new chapter release.

Again, I'm not saying it is bad, nor that my idea is practical / good. Just that I think it would be a nifty feature to have. Sorta similar to the way the online manga readers do it, though they don't really deal with edits or partials so much.

If my idea is flawed in any way please do tell me how it is. I like learning which can only come from feedback.

There is already something called "Related changes" at the bottom of the wiki side bar, under the "Toolbox" heading. Just click that at the project page. Not sure how accurate it is, but I think that list all the changes for links in that page.

I suppose what I was thinking of is more of an overview. Say a status for all projects (think a summary) instead of just a change log.

Like I said though, just a thought.
