== DramaWiki Templates ==
Hrm which one do you think is better.

template 1:
{{CountryTable|J}}

or

template 2:
{{CountryTable2|J}}

or plain vanilla:
{{CountryTable3|J}}

I think plain vanilla looks best.<br>
How about adding a 'drama a-z' to the end of the list? --[[User:Egx|egx]]

Hmm, I like template2 or the vanilla because this way the mainpage gets more "compact".<br>
And regarding the 'drama a-z'... from what I've understood you can only create a TOC of a category on the category page itself. That's why you cannot put the TOCs on the main page. Our old indexes were manually created ones. But with the help of the categories the wiki will generate now all the lists for us. Much easier, IMHO.   --[[User:MoerkJ|<FONT COLOR="#008800">MoerkJ</FONT>]]<sup>[[User_talk:MoerkJ|✎ me a msg]]</sup> 11:26, 1 Apr 2005 (EST)

I think it should be possible to write a function to get the 'a-z' part created by a script too. --[[User:Egx|egx]]

This better? --[[User:Ruroshin|Ruroshin]] 18:13, 1 Apr 2005 (EST)
{{CountryTable3|J}}

Hmm, very confusing all this. But it seems to work somehow. Just two little things:
# I couldn't remove the border. (perhaps defined via class="toccolours plainlinks" ???)
# without the <nowiki>{{NAMESPACE}}</nowiki> tags the CountryTable3template works even on the talkpages. I just changed it for letter "N" because I don't know why it is needed.   --[[User:MoerkJ|<FONT COLOR="#008800">MoerkJ</FONT>]] [[User_talk:MoerkJ|✎ <sup>me a msg</sup>]] 19:11, 1 Apr 2005 (EST)

I like the border heh but yeah to get rid o it you remove the class. Yeah the NAMESPACE probably isn't needed because no namespace defined. I just copied it from wikipedia and modified it to work for categories outside the category page. --[[User:Ruroshin|Ruroshin]] 19:21, 1 Apr 2005 (EST)

== Script Writer ==

Something a bit unrelated to the discussion going here... Apparently, [http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=scriptwriter scriptwriter] or [http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=screenwriter screenwriter] are correct and [http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=script%20writer script writer] (notice the space) is not. Which one would you prefer?

:''scriptwriter - n : someone who writes scripts for plays or movies or broadcast dramas''
:seems good to me, lets go with that --[[User:Ruroshin|Ruroshin]] 08:44, 9 Apr 2005 (EDT)

hmm, I'd prefer just "Writer" because there are different kind of writing, e.g. story writing, screen writing, etc. These things are completely different procedures and can be done by different people. The screen writing is more a technical process which involves the provision of instructions for the actors and film crew. I'm not really sure but I think that in many cases the screen writing is done by other persons and the credits are more story writing related. But of course some writers do everything (story and screen writing). Just look at IMDb.com for examples. They give very detailed credits for who did which writing (original novel, adaptation for screen, story writing, additional writing etc.). So I think we should just stick to "Writer" when unsure. The original websites of the studios I visited don't give more specific info either. The same for Director/Producer. The often the sites credit "Producer" and not "Director". A director can be hired by a producer and the work can differ again. But in most cases I believe the producers also do the directing in TV productions. I use the credits as they are given on the original pages. Producer and Writer are more general terms, IMHO. Just my 2 cents. --[[User:MoerkJ|<FONT COLOR="#008800">MoerkJ</FONT>]] 12:55, 9 Apr 2005 (EDT)

== Why not indian/pakistani drama's ==
Indian drama series are very colourful and usually feature the latest fashion trends and advertise some as well. They are like normal series where the script is decided per episode.. There's like a new wave in the indian drama scene .. of social dramas .. by Ekta Kapoor

Pakistani dramas are quite well known as they are adaptations of novels, epic like stories and dramas written by contemporary writers. Some of them have the element of standup comedy.

:Get your own Wiki. Why invade in someone else's Wiki? Because DramaWiki generates a ton more hits everyday than other sites? [[User:Groink|Groink]] 18:58, 2 Oct 2006 (EDT)

==I THINK IT MUST BE CHANGED INTO "EAST ASIAN" DRAMAWIKI"==
Your only focusing into east asian dramas. It's not the whole asia thou. There are more popular dramas in asia like FILIPINO DRAMAS, INDIAN, MALAYSIANS, INDONESIANS... I agree he have to get his own wiki.. It wont work..

:I am an Indonesian and frankly, I agree with the above statement. If you focus on East Asian Drama, you should said East Asian Dramawiki, not Asian Dramawiki. Asia is larger than East Asia, you know.

:Second things, you put Singaporean Drama to this wiki. Yeah, I know lot of Singaporean speak Mandarin and Hokkien. However, it is still a south-east asian countries which also consist of non-eastern language speaker. When one day they had dramas which is not in eastern language (like Tamil, Hindi, or Malay), will you consider them to be included in your wiki?

:This site also put '''Agnes Monica''' as Taiwanese Actress categories instead of Indonesian actress. C'mon!!! What would you feel if someone from Hollywood said '''Bruce Lee''' was an american actor? What would you feel if someone from America said '''Chow Yun Fat''' is an American actor? What if one day, Agnes Monica play in Hongkong Drama? Would you put her as Hongkong Actress, also?

:In the past, '''Cynthia Rothrock''' starred in many HK movies. Would you say she was a HK actress? Have you understood the problem I saw? [[User:Kunderemp|Kunderemp]] 04:39, 26 May 2007 (CDT)

::I've just look at Michelle Yeoh entry on wikipedia and it was said she was 'Hongkong based' actress. [[User:Kunderemp|Kunderemp]] 04:47, 26 May 2007 (CDT)

I can't help but laugh at this. First, it isn't called "______ DramaWiki" - it is called "DramaWiki." Second, you do not know the history of D-Addicts, the parent web site that sponsors DramaWiki. From Day 1, the focus on D-Addicts has always been: Chinese, Taiwanese, Singaporean, Korean and Japanese. D-Addicts relects this, and therefore DramaWiki reflects this. If you people are so animate about promoting other Asian TV dramas, '''go start your own web site!!!!!!''' It is like me running a Windows web site with Linux and Macintosh people trying to force me to support them as well. Every web site has a right to draw the line when it comes to content. Respect this rather than arguing about it. [[User:Groink|Groink]] 05:06, 26 May 2007 (CDT)

==WHY NOT INCLUDE FILIPINO DRAMA?==
They have the best drama in asia. Award winning actors (INTERNATIONALLY) and award winning soap operas (INTERNATIONALLY) Stories are interesting and can relate into everyones life. Teleseryes and fantaseryes are now spreading thru asia and latin americas. And Pangako Sa'yo got the highest rating in southeast asia.

:This wiki is exclusively for East Asian dramas, you can notice that there are no South East Asian dramas in here. Hopefully, some one can create a South East Asian drama wiki, and that would include not only Filipino dramas, but also Malaysian, Indonesian, etc. [[User:Marienella|Marienella]]

== Navigation Bar, Searches + Forums ==
Wasn't sure where to put all this, so the talk page of the homepage seems the most appropriate. First off, hi all! I just joined to post one synop (though I'm sure I'll find more to add as time goes on), however I did have some suggestions for the site.
* Put the wiki search above the Google search on the navigation bar. I, like I'm sure others, tried using the Google search to find things on the wiki only to find this wouldn't work (as well); and scrolling down to type in the wiki search is just inconveniant (did I mention I can't spell without a spellcheck?) and having it below all the ads and other things, away from the important links hides it.
* Put a "Wiki" section to the forums for wiki related inquiries, announcements, and random other wiki related talks. I first went to the forum to see if there was a place for this kind of post, but found there was none (or if there was I didn't see it...).
Anyways, those are my two suggestions for the wiki. Cya around! [[User:KawasakiNinja|KawasakiNinja]] 11:14, 13 Jul 2007 (CDT)

:1. We prefer people to use Google over the Wiki search. This is to save on CPU usage on the server. Google bots through DramaWiki on a regular basis, so searches are very complete. 2. You can find the forum link for DramaWiki under [[Current events]] on the left column of any DramaWiki page. [[User:Groink|Groink]] 13:33, 13 Jul 2007 (CDT)

::1. Makes sense I guess. Never hosted a site/wiki before, so don't know exactly all the numbers around that. How much extra usage is taken up by using the wiki search vs. linking to it through google? Or even using the google search, does that use up the server the wiki's on? Just curious.
::2. The link is above, not under. But I was refering to having a section of the Forum for talking about wiki stuff. Unless you're all fine with having discussions like this going on the main page talk, then I guess there's no real need. But it might make it easier for people to use the forum when discussing things about the wiki, making any announcements the admins might want to make, or just general wiki related questions. Again though, not sure how much general talk you get for the wiki. [[User:KawasakiNinja|KawasakiNinja]] 11:45, 14 Jul 2007 (CDT)
:By under "Current events" he doesn't mean literally under it. If you click current events, it'll take you to the page with the link to the DramaWiki discussion on d-addicts. --[[User:Pinkpineapple|Pineapple]] 13:29, 14 Jul 2007 (CDT)

::Ah, cool. I was thinking a full section instead of just one thread (makes it a little easier to organize) but still good that it's there. :) [[User:KawasakiNinja|KawasakiNinja]] 11:15, 15 Jul 2007 (CDT)

==Synopsis==
Tanaka Masatoshi is having troubles getting into medical school, something he blames on all the time he spent on synchro two years earlier (see [[Water Boys]]). While on a research trip to a remote southern island of Japan, he is forced into coaching a newly formed three member boys synchro team. Tanaka has to come to terms with his past and begins questioning his future, while the three boy synchro team dream of life off of the island.
