== category revamp, etc. ==

Hi,

I'm Darkoneko, one of the "usually inactive" custodians of this wiki. I'm kinda allergic to forums and generally prefer to laze in a corner of our IRC channel, so you might not have heard of me before. Either way, sorry for the late introduction.

I've started with a few people a great revamping of the category system. It was pointed to me that you had similar projects in mind, so I'm there to enlist your help :)

One of my goals is to easily allow readers to search novels by name, publisher, language, genre, and status (finished/active/stalled...). For that purpose, a list of categories will be listed in the sidebar instead of the current enormous and unreadable list.


Here's what has been done / on track : 
[[:Category:Root]] : the Root of all <s>evil</s> categories.
*[[:category:Author]] : each author has his/her own category, which contain the main page of each of their novels (so far it's always the english version)
*[[:category:Light novel]] : each language has its own subcategory to allow easy search by language.
*[[:category:Original novel]] : for the few we host. They're all in english so no need for subcats.

*[[:Category:Project status]] : maintenance category. Most subcats already existed.
 

We are in dire need of title standardisation, so your proposal on [http://www.baka-tsuki.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=8839 there] interests me. Tho, the problem is what to use as the initial title. In your exemple, everything takes for base the english title (A simple survey) rather than the japanese one, which strikes me as weird. But translators might not like any change on that :)

More to come a bit later

:Good morning !

:I need a way to properly separate teasers from full projects. Right now since only the sidebar novels were given the category light novel, it's their separation. We'll probably need a dedicated category later.
:For the sidebar languages, good idea. It's either that or linking by default  to the english category. to be decided
:I've seen you started categorising the visual novel. It's the right idea, however, could you rename it to [[:Category:Visual_novel]] for consistency with the [[:Category:Light_novel|other]] [[:Category:Original_novel|categories]] ?
