Keep track of items for sale on Amazon JP? See links on main page for now. Perhaps an admin would like to tack on referrer codes?

What do you mean exactly? Create a page with all the products and links to the Amazon page?
That's basically what I meant. By referrer codes I meant this Oatmeal 10:31, 18 January 2011 (CST)

Fanarts

Do we, will we, have any restriction on posting fanart in character galleries? (bandwidth, legal, otherwise?) --Sayaka 13:14, 21 January 2011 (CST)

Did not notice this post, I don't think we should include fanarts in wiki. --0x99 22:12, 25 February 2011 (UCT)

Review?

Just wondering, is there any point in keeping the changes that have been done in the wishlist? Easier review? --Homerun-chan 22:08, 25 February 2011 (UCT)

Yup. So that you can know someone has already finished this task, rather than it being removed from the wishlist for unknown reason. Cleanup after a week should be enough. --0x99 22:12, 25 February 2011 (UCT)

Theories illustrations

The theories that still need some illustrations are :

Remove false character speculahs?

"Clean speculah section in character pages and remove those proven false by canon." - why should we delete them? I think what has been speculated is somewhat valuable information. Just like we still have false speculahs on Theories page, I think we should keep false speculahs on character pages, just mark them with red X's or maybe even move into separate sections ("Speculations proven wrong") or something like that.
But yeah, I agree that it needs cleaning either way... --KFYatek 14:41, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

Going over the character pages, it looks like the only ones that really need cleaning up are Homura and Kyuubey's. (The other pages have relatively small and accurate speculah sections.) It's been a while since this conversation, but should we get started on setting up "Speculah proven wrong" sections? Momoism 18:00, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
In accordance with the guidelines used throughout this wiki, I changed the entry to "(...) and properly tag those proven false (...)". As discussed in other talkpages, all speculah are usually considered useful information, and should just be marked as debunked if relevant. Still have to make a template for these tags though. --Homerun-chan 21:24, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
First try at a theory categorization. I fear the headers will be too big/visible for the actual pages. Opinions? (it's still a work in progress, remember) --Homerun-chan 21:44, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

TV / NicoNico / BD Differences

I think it would be a good idea to make a page which shows the differences between the different versions of each episode. Maybe as a seperate page or on the page for each episode. Keksus 03:20, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

KFYatek is at it. See the page in his namespace (I don't have a link right now, will post it this evening) --Homerun-chan 07:49, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

Documents Pages Need Re-organization

I'd like to see someone take on the two pages for Documents. They badly need it re-organized so it's easier for people to find things...plus, it's a popular section for fans. Right now, everything is just getting dumped in the Discussion page because no one knows what else to do. I really don't know how to do proper wiki formatting but I can assist on what sources came from where and when etc. on the majority of the stuff if someone is willing to look through and set up a proper structure. Also adding the benefit of having the information set up well will help with people doing research for analysis and speculah. I anticipate more interviews coming down the line where things in the anime will be explained. --randomanon 19:27, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

I have the reverse problem. I'm willing to restructure it when I have the time, but I'm too lazy to skim through the documents to sort them out. So maybe you can do the sorting, and I (or whoever wants to help of course) do the formatting?
Also, how about splitting that page in subpages? It's already pretty long right now, and it's not gonna get any shorter with all the stuff that's in the talkpage ... --Homerun-chan 20:01, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
Urgh, well organization and formatting are not my strong points and I'm already far behind on my queue for the Madoka things I do in my spare time...I can't commit time right now to an overhaul, only assist with some of the research end of what came from where. Hopefully someone else will be willing to step up to the plate. I do see subpages would make sense, like one for all the tweets. --randomanon 21:14, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
Regarding the (sub)pages, how about we split them like this:
  • Interviews with the script writer (Urobuchi)
  • Interviews with the staff (Shinbo, Inu Curry, Miyamoto, Ume-sensei, ...)
  • Interviews with the voice actresses
  • Tweets
("Tweets" getting its own page; the rest either staying as sections of the general page, or becoming subpages too)
Then of course we'd find a way to keep track of the source, the date/month when the article got published and a summary (as it is now). Probably order them chronologically, or by theme...
That way it shouldn't be too hard to organize if someone gives us the sources, and it doesn't seem to hard to find an article back either. --Homerun-chan 09:19, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
Are there enough interviews with Urobuchi to make a separate page just for it? Aren't there any interviews featuring both Urobuchi and Shinbou, for example? The idea is good, but I think there are quite a few things that can go wrong. --KFYatek 11:50, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

Cleaning up the list

There are some stuff that are old as fuck in this list, so maybe we should remove them?

Through the Looking-Glass theory from 2ch.
I for one don't even know what that is, but given that it sounds like speculah and dates back from early February I don't think it's really capital to have it ...
Update all romanization to Hepburn romanization.
Isn't it done yet?
Pages to update after the finale
Are they all up-to-date yet?
Put all we know about Walpurgis Night (be it the real thing, anime speculah, references from real-life works, and so on) on this page
Can we consider it done yet?

Also, reorganizing that list by order of priority... --Homerun-chan 20:05, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

1- Agreed. Got no clue what that is...
2- ...Can't comment this, I'm not the man to ask
3- As far as I can see, yes, even though they might be in the middle of a huge clusterfuck, it's there. Unless we consider tagging all speculahs as of the last episode info as part of this.
4- I believe so. --BrickBreak 21:17, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
About the romanizations
As far as I know the wiki, most romanizations are either in proper, "Wikipedia-style" Hepburn, ie. with long vowels as ā, ī, ū, ē, ō, eg. Shinbō, Kyōsuke, Kyūbē, Tōkyō, Ōsaka etc. - or in what I'll call "fansub-style Hepburn", with long vowels written directly as they are written in kana, eg. Shinbou, Kyousuke, Kyuubee, Toukyou, Oosaka etc. The only notable occurences of a different romanization system are: Kyubey's and Jubey's names - understandable, since it's sort of an official spelling; transliteration of Japanese written in runes - also understandable, since we use the spelling used by authors directly.
Moreover, from my observations, "fansub-style Hepburn" is used in normal text, while proper Hepburn is used with the "nihongo" template. So the situation is not so bad and quite consistent. I'm not advocating neither on switching to proper Hepburn everywhere, since macrons are hard as hell to type on most keyboard layouts (BTW: tip for Linux guys with US or very similar keyboards: try AltGr+} (or AltGr+Shift+] if you prefer) and then the letter), nor to "fansub-style Hepburn" everywhere, since the proper one look more professional and gives a familiar look and feel to all users of Wikipedia ;) So I personally think it can be considered done, but YMMV.
Through the Looking Glass
I don't have a clue what the "Through The Looking Glass" theory is; it's probably long obsolete, but it still would be nice to have it for the sake of completeness. I thought I can give a try translating it, digged into 2ch archives, found that it is discussed in thread 71, made some rough looks with Google Translate and... well, it got to me that it won't really be easy for me, because I just... haven't read anything from Carrol's Alice universe. Shame on me, I know.
So well, when someone feels like it, it can still be translated for the sake of completness, But I consider it such a low priority that yes, it shouldn't be prominently displayed on the wishlist.
The rest
They won't ever be really complete, but yes, they are complete enough to be removed from here, I think. Organizing the pages should be there, though.
