[edit] Previous and Next links on some pages

What are these? --nihonTalk 00:32, 1 February 2008 (CST)

Added the BackAndForth extension as an additional browsing option. It's simple to disable if we decide it adds too much clutter.
--LLin 10:48, 1 February 2008 (CST)
I could see it being useful to browse around the main pages on the site, but it seems odd to have it on pages like the Team Ghiblink page. --nihonTalk 19:50, 1 February 2008 (CST)

[edit] 2008-04-23 - Upload page broken?

I was just going to do some more work and the upload page seems to be broken? Mrgazpacho 06:59, 23 April 2008 (CDT)

Oh hang on... the link in the toolbox on the front page (http://www.nausicaa.net/wiki/Special:Upload) is correct; other pages link to "http://www.nausicaa.net/wiki/Wikipedia:Upload" which doesn't work. Mrgazpacho 07:25, 23 April 2008 (CDT)
There's some strange skin and/or php interaction that's causing the Wikipedia namespace to appear. I added a redirect as a quick fix. --LLin 11:36, 23 April 2008 (CDT)

[edit] Categories

As usual, taxonomy continues to be my greatest bugbear... for one-off things like the Lasseter-San, Arigato and Studio Ghibli Museum DVDs, do we need to bother creating a whole Main Page > Availability > Video > Actual DVD info page, or should we just cut straight to the Main Page > DVD? Mrgazpacho 10:52, 25 April 2008 (CDT)

The level of redirection would be annoying. If there's only videos I say just point directly to the DVD page since, well, very little availability of the other goods. ^_^ FYI, in the process of re-categorizing the shorts. --LLin 10:57, 25 April 2008 (CDT)
OK - although in the Museum's case, I just remembered that they have an English-language book(let) so I'll need a main availability page anyway. But I get the general approach to keep it as simple as possible. Mrgazpacho 11:03, 25 April 2008 (CDT)
  • For the People category, is there a way to categorize a page down to a specific person? I just added the new Italian book on Takahata, and I'm able to put in the People category, but only to that level. Is there a way to see Takahata on a page as a category? Eishagishi 21:12, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
Edit: I think you want to add a link to the "Category:Isao Takahata" category page Mrgazpacho 23:41, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Hi Chris,
    That's what I presently have on that book page Art of Emotion, The (Italian). But the link acts like there is no Isao Takahata category. Same thing on the category page - it looks like the category for Isao Takahata hasn't been created yet. An article for him shows up under the People category but that's it. I've tried various alternate ways of typing the link (first name first, last name first, etc.) but so far no joy.Eishagishi 02:03, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
I just created the Isao Takahata Category page. It works much the same way as any other page, except if you use the template "{{catmore}}" it fills in all the details automatically. Mrgazpacho 03:38, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the tip Chris. I went ahead and created a Kazuo Oga Category page.
--Eishagishi 01:25, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Proposing a sub-category name change - [[Takahata films]] becomes [[Isao Takahata films]] for uniformity. No pages presently use this sub-category, though I would like to use it for the Art of Emotion, The (Italian) book.
    --Eishagishi 21:30, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
Sounds good. I believe it was originally setup that way since there's only one Takahata in the Ghibli univerise. Then again there was only one Miyazaki for awhile until Goro hit the scene so expanding the category name makes sense.

[edit] Japanese

For cut-n-pasteable Japanese characters, I found it easy to go to CDJapan, look up the DVD in English and then click on a link (hopefully most pages have a similar one) to go to a page with Japanese information. Mrgazpacho 16:00, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Additional video page URLs needed?

Looks like I need a couple of URLs for some new-to-the-site Porco VCD listings. There is a second Chinese-language PAL VCD, and a Korean-language one that I would like to add. Both are legit releases AFAIK. Please take a look at Porco Rosso (videos) for the entries I'm working on. Need some suggestions for naming too while we're at it.

Also, I can't seem to find any listings for a German-language Porco VHS release. Can you point me in the right direction? TIA!
Eishagishi 18:55, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Hi Paul;
    The Korean URL looks OK, but it looks like "PAL" is the name of the company for the second Chinese VCD... is it also by IVL? Perhaps you could name the company if it is different, or move the "IVL" URL to be "IVL - NTSC" or some other distinguishing characteristic... Mrgazpacho 04:11, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
  • I believe the German VHS is a typo, I'm pretty sure it's just a DVD release. I agree with Chris' suggestions on naming, the Korean one is ok while the Chinese one needs a differentiating note somewhere. --LLin 04:57, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Deleting orphaned pages

Couple of things - one question and one point out:

  • Q: How do I delete orphaned pages?
  • You can delete an orphaned page by using the delete "tab" at the top of the page... Mrgazpacho 10:36, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
Thanks Chris. Looks like I don't have that privilege. I've got a short list of mistakenly made Porco pages to delete...
Eishagishi 21:12, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
If you list them out one of us can give 'em the boot. Or if you're ready for the leap to administrator I think you'll be able to use the power wisely. ^_^
--LLin 05:33, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
Administrator powers... MwaHahahahaha... 'er, sorry. (^_^);;
--Eishagishi 01:25, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
Thanks, rolled back the spam
