Minor changes to KDrama formatting guides

I did some minor changes to the KDrama formatting guides which basically reflect the currently used formatting. Please have a look. Perhaps some of the general things can also be applied to the JDrama guides.

• General / Dateformat. Using consistent YYYY-MMM-DD format
• Artist / TV Show listing. Removed the listing of the actor's character/role because it is redundant and was rarely added. Although someone, who must have read the guide, started to this info recently. Maybe this should be made optional.
• Artist / Recognitions section. Got heavily changed because on the web you find only information about won awards. Appearances or nominations don't seem to be noteworthy enough for Koreans.
• KDrama / Air time format. Commented out the paragraph about the 24h-format, because 8:00 for korean morning dramas without AM could be confusing for readers who don't know about the time format. Also it seems that the AM/PM format is more common in Korea... well at least on the official drama websites. Happy Wiki'ing! --MoerkJ ^talk 12:21, 14 Aug 2008 (CEST)

That's great! Thanks for the update. FYI, I only wrote the Japanese version. The editors who work on the Korean articles copied the Japanese version, and then made changes pertaining to Korean. Groink 21:57, 14 Aug 2008 (CEST)

Birthday

Please do not use the existing articles as examples when developing your template. You had in your template "Birthday:" and that is totally incorrect. The official profile format is covered in this article: DramaWiki:Korean_Artist_Article_Formatting

My mistake... I did update my template to reflect the new formatting and accidently deleted the "Birthdate:" line and then retyped it incorrectly. Anyhow... thanks for the updated date format... Now I can remove June and ???? from my memory.

Artist / TV Show listing. Removed the listing of the actor's character/role because it is redundant and was rarely added. Although someone, who must have read the guide, started to this info recently. Maybe this should be made optional.

Guilty ... I will remove these actors' character/role as I edit pages.

Hello! We use "Birthdate" instead of "Date of Birth." How about death details? I see articles using either "Date of Death" or simply "Death." Which one would we retain? Or is there any other term we should use? I would just like to clarify before I continue editing. Thanks! --MochaValencia 16:12, 30 Aug 2008 (CEST)

I've been using "Death:" Groink 22:46, 30 Aug 2008 (CEST)

Got it. Thanks! --MochaValencia 18:02, 31 Aug 2008 (CEST)

Profile format

Is there a perferred way to name - Empas Profile / EMPAS Profile / Profile (empas)? Thanks Imian 17:51, 31 Aug 2008 (CEST)

Probably the last one is the best - Profile (empas) Groink 22:35, 31 Aug 2008 (CEST)

HK Dramas' Air Dates

I have a small concern about HK dramas (specifically TVB series). For example, Greed Mask's production year is 2003, the overseas launch was also 2003, but I believe the date aired in HK was years later in 2006. So would we use the 2006 date in the details section? I was also wondering if there can be a new option for HK dramas to add "Production period" or the like in the details section as well? Because with TVB series, some dramas may be warehoused and aired a few years after the production date. Or would you rather we just stick to putting the production period in the Notes/Trivia section on the respective drama's page? Also, I was wondering if we should change the overseas dates to the HK dates or keep it like that (The Slicing of the Demon)? Sorry for the bother & thank you~ --Ladys07 12:37, 14 Nov 2008 (EST)

I would use the air date as 2006, and in the trivia section write a note that the show was produced in 2003. Groink 07:37, 14 Nov 2008 (CET)
