Sidebar

Looks like you have changed the navigation table on the left side. With these changes you destroyed the multi-language feature for the wikimedia-skin. I'd suggest either deactivating this function or to change back to the old setup. --Guenny 06:51, 28 Jun 2005 (EDT)

Interesting, I didn't know that. On the other hand do we need the multi-language skin feature? Everything here is assumed to be written in english and is designed for the english speakers. Anybody else have any comments on this? --Ruroshin 23:48, 28 Jun 2005 (EDT)

Broken characters

It sounds strange, I noticed that some CJK characters are broken in many pages. I tried to correct, e.g., the page of Sekai no Chuushin de, Ai wo Sakebu but two days later I found that those characters are broken again (the history does show that I am the last modifier). Although this wiki is designed for english speakers, I think it should keep names of titles/artists correct in their mother languages. Any idea? --Panasonic 11:32, 8 Feb 2006 (EST)

Panasonic, you should read the last page of the DramaWiki discussion topic: Official DramaWiki Topic on D-Addicts --Gryzze 12:02, 8 Feb 2006 (EST)

To answer Panasonic's question... We've settled on the idea that the kana names should be kept only in their primary articles, and to leave them out of any other articles linking to the primary. Trying to provide both the romaji and kana in EVERY SINGLE ARTICLE adds bulk to the database, and overall it is just redundant information that can otherwise be found in their primary articles. Also given the fact that every Japanese speaking person can read romaji. AND, the Japanese has their own drama wiki database at ja.wikipedia.org. So in the case of the article you were referring to, I'd remove the kana from all the artist references within the article. Groink 13:31, 8 Feb 2006 (EST)
