Page dedicated to coordinating and discussing the Februiary 2014 category revamp project. DarkoNeko talk 08:53, 2 February 2014 (CST)
Description
The Categories revamp project (CRP) aims to make finding light novels much easier, and make the left sidebar readable while we're at it. It will be a better way to manage the several lanauges we're hosting.
CRP will ultimately allow to search novels at least in the following ways :
- by name
- by language
- by author
- by imprint
- by status
- by Genre
- ...and more if you have pratical ideas ! (by illustrator ? By year of first publication ?)
Progress
- Categorisation by Name
- adding a language subcategory of category:light novel in all main pages of novels
- Status : Finished.
Done mainly by Darkoneko, Cautr, Cloudii, etc (add your name if applicable)
- Categorisation by language
- managed under category:Language. Subcategories (i.e. category:german) are now used as parent of a light novel category (i.e. category:Light novel (German)) rather than directly.
- Status : Almost finished.
- Categorisation by author
- managed under category:author. Added on the main page (usually english) of each novel.
- Status : Finished ?
Done mainly by Stellaroze and Kuroihikari (add your name if applicable)
- Categorisationby imprint
- managed under Category:Publisher Label (which already existed). Added on the main page (usually english) of each novel.
- Status : ongoing.
As the category already exists (tho, should be rename it to lowercase Category:Publisher label ?), we mainly have to ensure it's present for all novel and complete where needed.
- Categorisation by status
- managed under category:Project status
- Status : ongoing
In opposition to the other categories who are for the readers, this one is more oriented for maintenance (the wiki's contributors).
Currently, we just linked together the existing status categories : Abandonned, completed, hosted, inactive, prending authorisation, teaser.
- We'll probably have to rename some of them for consistancy (my bot can do that).
- We'll probably have to creating an "ongoing project"/"active project" (name to be debated) category
- Architecture isn't definitive, to be debated.
- Categorisation by genre
- managed under category:Genre
- Status : in discussion
This one was created by user:Saganatsu independantly from us. So far only a few projects have been added.
- I have to say that I'm not too fan of the current subcategories naming.
- To avoid abuses/misuses, we have to decide in advance on a fixed set of genres. Discussion on this in a section below.
Notes
To avoid duplicates : the Genre, imprint and author categories are only added once by Light novel rather than once per project/language. I'm not 100% happy with that but I don't see a better solution right now.
