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..
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.
Hrm which one do you think is better.
template 1:
| |||||||||
or
template 2:
| TV Drama | Actor | Actress | Singer | Director | Script Writer |
or plain vanilla:
Actor | Actress | Singer | Producer | Director | Writer | OST
| TV Drama: | 0–9 A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z |

I think plain vanilla looks best.
How about adding a 'drama a-z' to the end of the list? --egx
Hmm, I like template2 or the vanilla because this way the mainpage gets more "compact".
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. --MoerkJ✎ me a msg 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. --egx
This better? --Ruroshin 18:13, 1 Apr 2005 (EST)

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 {{NAMESPACE}} tags the CountryTable3template works even on the talkpages. I just changed it for letter "N" because I don't know why it is needed. --MoerkJ ✎ me a msg 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. --Ruroshin 19:21, 1 Apr 2005 (EST)
Script Writer
Something a bit unrelated to the discussion going here... Apparently, scriptwriter or screenwriter are correct and 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 --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. --MoerkJ 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.
