User talk:Foo2

The AniDB wiki search results for the Namespace...

The following search results point at HTML code remnants that could" be translated to wiki code (<b> or <i>; fixed those). Others point to a possible use of link templates (ANIDB.NET and ANIDB.INFO), etc. Hopefully these search results will help make the wiki more consistent.

Update: Removed the mostly fixed and outdated search results.

indent

changed code in 3 places from

{{indent|{{#if: {{{3|}}} | {{{1}}}}}}}

to

{{#if: {{{3|}}}|{{indent|{{{1}}}}}|}}

--foo2 07:07, 6 May 2009 (UTC) Does that make a significant difference? It does not call indent with "empty" argument, if 3| does not exist, so you are right, its probably better.

Annoyance edits

Please don't edit user's talk pages for stupid things like this. Changing a user's talk page causes a "You have new messages" alert to pop up, which is pointless when you're just changing the type of apostrophe in a comment. You shouldn't be editing other people's comments anyways. Thank you. -- HiEv 00:18, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

Tag Groups

[00:33:18] <@DerIdiot> ok as kei already noticed
[00:33:26] <@DerIdiot> added alias and groups for anime tags
[00:33:31] <@DerIdiot> system is identical to the chartag one
[00:34:54] <@DerIdiot> groups are merely meant to be used for administration
[00:36:19] <@nwa> now someone needs to go through the blacklist and change some tags to aliases :P
[00:37:15] <%ninjamask> tell foo2 about it
[00:37:35] <@DerIdiot> also adding tags for which an alias exists should automatically set the real tag
[00:37:43] <@DerIdiot> if a user tries to set the alias

Hope the strictly administrative value of such groups will at some point "leak" into the anime pages in some way. But this is pretty nifty. And I am actually quite surprised how many anime tags are actually char-related... woha... I had underestimated the number by far.

I'll take a look at the aliases, but I am still getting a "feeling" for how the groups are actually to be applied in some cases, and what exactly the advantaged of aliases are. I remember that we blacklisted quite a few tags that had similar meaning to a more used "main" tag, those would qualify as aliases I guess...

Blacklisted tags I had added are now aliases of main tags... in the cases that still made sense. The problem are the rest of the blacklisted tags, they are mostly "junk" AFAICT:

• Either they are blacklisted duplicates of categories, so should not be an alias anyway.
• Or they are junk blacklisted because the charDB duplicates the data, i.e. especially producer and seiyuu names etc.
• Or they are some other "junk" that was intentionally removed as tags and thus blacklisted.

So presently I have a hard time finding anything left of value as an alias to existing main tags. Suggestions appreciated.
