Revision as of 22:19, 8 June 2006
About me:
I'm a 25 year old white male living in Tucson, Arizona. Over five years I have studied about two and a half years worth towards degree in Computer Science.
I've enjoyed anime fansubs and manga scanslations for several years now, and I've often wanted to contribute to the community. As I don't speak Japanese and my photoshop/video editing skills are pretty meagre, I've not been able to do much so far. I have scanned several chapters of the Twin Spica Manga, but only one chapter has been translated so far (more may come this summer!).
Anyway, after being bitten by the Haruhism bug I found this project via the AnimeSuki forums. I've been very impressed by some of the contributors, many of whom have worked on other translation projects that I have enjoyed in the past. I have pretty decent spelling and grammar, so I'm going to contribute as much as I can to the editing of these novels. Being something of a programming geek, I'm also interested in doing interesting things in the Wiki, such as the navigation templates demoed below.
Navigation demo:
- Er, recent changes have broken my older demo stuff. I've removed it to get to the good stuff that was farther down. --BlckKnght 13:19, 8 June 2006 (PDT)
I've created a new fully automatic navigation box, Template:AutoNavBox. Currently it should work from each chapter of volume 1, and I set it to treat this page as if it was chapter 5. Here's a demo:
The code: {{AutoNavBox}}
The result: Template:AutoNavBox
To add additional pages, edit Template:Volume to specify what volume the page is in, Template:Next Page to say what comes next and Template:Previous Page to specify what comes before. Leave out of the previous or next templates pages that do not have anything before or after them, respectively (such as the first and last chapters of a volume).
