Dead Pages II?
Code does not seem to be used at all, superfluous?

Page is not linked to, delete?
Accidentally redirected the "dead" Mylist_report to MyList_report. Pages seem to be dead?
The link called "generic files" is broken on the page:

Possible Candidates for a Rename
These are obviously strictly cosmetic suggestions:
- [[Category:Myplace]] -> Category:MyPlace
- [[Category: Anidb Clients]] -> Category:AniDB Clients

Discussion
The following are only ideas that may have some merit, maybe not.
ProfileLink
IMO, the {{ProfileLink}} template
is ugly using the generic "[1]" in the template. And it is a bit strange that the "profile image" actually leads to the image's page, instead of directly leading to the profile on the AniDB page. In all it is IMO confusing to actually have 3 links:
- link to wiki profile page
- link profile image's page on wiki
- link to profile on AniDB
[[profile]] ([[Image:Button profile.gif]] [http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=profile]) profile ([1])
Alas placing the image *in* the AniDB link does not properly work:
[[profile]] ([http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=profile [[Image:Button profile.gif]]]) profile (
Maybe replacing the generic "[1]" with text will make things clearer:
[[profile]] ([[Image:Button profile.gif]] [http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=profile on AniDB]) profile (
Though it's still not elegant that the profile image leads to the image's wiki page.

- changed for now, added the "on AniDB" --foo2 15:38, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
Text Modules vs. Templates
To me templates are wiki source code that uses variables in some way, are used as compact aliases. I noted that several of these "templates" are simply text modules (without variables):
- http://wiki.anidb.net/w/AniDB_Definition:_Romanisation/Table
- http://wiki.anidb.net/w/WebAOM/Header
- http://wiki.anidb.net/w/Template:Avdump-gui
- http://wiki.anidb.net/wiki/index.php?title=Template:Awards
- http://wiki.anidb.net/w/Template:ProfileLink
Maybe one could add a new category specifically for such variable-free text blocks called e.g. Includes or Text Modules.
Alas I am not quite sure the inclusion of "non-templates" is actually permitted in the wiki?

√ Help:Editing page
FYI - You said the Help:Editing article was never in use, but actually that page is linked to every time anyone goes to edit a page. Try editing a page and you can see the "Editing help" link at the bottom of the page goes to that article. -- HiEv 17:06, 10 January 2008 (CET)
- yes. i noticed that a while after my statement. -- Ninjamask 02:48, 11 January 2008 (CET)
√ Old anidb.info entries - a list
I found the rest of the anidb.info links. Use the wiki search, and look for "anidb" (*with* the double quotes), list 500 entries, to quickly find the pages.
* Content:Anime You can find the [http://anidb.info/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=addanime add anime] * Anime Hint * [http://anidb.info/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=hint2 Anime Hint] * My reviews * [http://anidb.info/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=myreviews MyReviews] * Main See [http://anidb.info/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=main&sub=why Why signup?] for a quick overvi ... * Mass update * [http://anidb.info/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=mylist&do=mch Mass Update] * Top 10 Rating column, [http://anidb.info/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=animelist&orderby=rating&orderdir=1 * Bugtracker The [http://tracker.anidb.info ...] is based on the [http://tracker.anidb.info/ tracker]. * How does Anime Hint work * [http://anidb.info/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=hint2 Anime Hint] * Which raw groups to credit quality-assurance; *[http://anidb.info/g488 SaiyaMan] * Short links looks like this: http://anidb.info/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=animelist&adb.search=Hachimitsu&do.search=se ...

√ Locked Page Editing
Here a few suggestions on words that might be made conform to the rest of the wiki:
anidb -> AniDB x1
anidb -> AniDB x6
referer -> referrer
Eyecatch -> eyecatch (code, though Eyecatch also works)
Please note: -> Please note (in {{eyecatch| code)

√ Dead Pages?
Is this a dead page? Since there "still" is no content on it?
- content needs to be written
The link "dump" [[/AniDB_O%27Matic_-_Documentation/dump|dump]] on
is broken. Seems like the "dump" page was previously deleted.
- deleted
This page is still empty, is it dead and can be deleted?
- content needs to be written
The "news item" link is broken:
- fahrenheit said he will work on it tommorow

√ Possible Candidates for a Page Rename
Moved Pages
- [[Autocreqing]] - Autocreqing-> Auto-creqing
http://wiki.anidb.net/wiki/index.php?title=Autocreqing - [[Mylist export template guidelines]] - Mylist export template guidelines -> MyList export template
see page: http://wiki.anidb.net/wiki/index.php?title=AniDB_forumguidelines - [[Mylist export]] - Mylist export-> MyList export
see page: http://wiki.anidb.net/wiki/index.php?title=AniDB_forum - [[Mylist reports]] - Mylist reports-> MyList reports
- done --foo2 21:19, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
- [[FAQ:Mylist]] - FAQ:Mylist -> FAQ:MyList
- done -- ninjamask
Leaving as they are
[[Mylist:comment]] - Mylist:comment -> MyList comment
see page: http://wiki.anidb.net/wiki/index.php?title=Comments[[mylist:watched]] - mylist:watched -> MyList watched
[[mylist:source]] - mylist:source -> MyList source
[[mylist:comment]] - mylist:comment -> MyList comment
[[mylist:storage]] - mylist:storage -> MyList storage
All redirect to "Mylist:" but would be nicer to use "MyList ", IMO.

√ Main Page - "Guidelines" rename?
On http://wiki.anidb.net/w/Main_Page the Guidelines section:
- AniDB:Review Guideline -> AniDB: Review Guideline
- AniDB:Review Comments -> AniDB: Review Comments
- Dates -> AniDB: Dates
- AniDB Definition:Romanisation -> AniDB Definition: Romanisation
might be renamed to AniDB Guidelines to shorten the link names there (reduce the then redundant "AniDB" prefix):
- Review Guideline
- Review Comments
- Dates
- Definition: Romanisation
Well, maybe. --foo2 15:09, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
