the recent edit to Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun

I asked WT:ANIME about the change to romaji. To this edit, as you didn't tell what was the reason why it was changed back. The link is to here. Unblue box (talk) 17:36, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

MOS:INFOBOXPURPOSE

Please, stop adding links to sections within the article in the infobox. The MOS is quite clear about this and I have been warning you about this for a long time in the edit summaries. Xexerss (talk) 11:33, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

@KANLen09: You have been warned several times about this and you keep doing it. Stop with that provocative and non-cooperative attitude or you will be reported at WP:ANI. Xexerss (talk) 18:58, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

I just feel like I need to clarify something: does it ever matter if say, the Japanese and English translations of the same article, need to be replicated down to the wire, or just focus on the information based on the source citings? KANLen09 (talk) 03:00, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

You mean if an article in the English Wikipedia should have the same content as the Japanese Wikipedia article? Consider that standards and guidelines may vary from one language edition to another, and although we have Template:Expand Japanese, it explicitly states: "Do not translate text that appears unreliable or low-quality. If possible, verify the text with references provided in the foreign-language article." Apart from very specific content, such as plot, character descriptions, and such (see WP:PLOTSOURCE), it is fundamental to provide references to verify the content, and thus avoid WP:OR. In short, what should be prioritized are references and verifiability (verifiability, not truth), and not replicate other Wikipedia editions just for replication's sake.

ANI notice

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Xexerss (talk) 07:16, 22 December 2023 (UTC)

Cast info

There is no need to change the source of staff when it is the official website of the anime, for example in this edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Classroom_of_the_Elite_(season_3)&diff=prev&oldid=1193393633 I don't know why you changed it, but it's always encouraged to use the official website of the anime for staff information when available; when an anime series doesn't provide that info for example Fluffy Paradise which you added "Information is taken from the ending credits of each episode.", then we use the ending credits. Because there is no other way to find that info and source it.

As for Classroom of the Elite, this is the official website that you changed. Check what is written after the synopsis of the episode: http://you-zitsu.com/story.html Parham.es (talk) 16:50, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

I'm trying to say that not every anime need to take its staff info from the ending creadit, As a matter of fact it's better to use the anime's official website if it gives the information. Parham.es (talk) 17:14, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

Ah yes, because I saw that there were like shows with multiple different formats, so I got confused whether should we stick to one that's already available or the edit that I made (which was just the general one).

Episodes will normally have their synopsis written for them, plus the staff involved as well, so I'm well aware of that, and usually will just stick to the former. KANLen09 (talk) 01:04, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

List Solo Leveling episodes

Firstly, the credits you added for episode 1 are just animation directors (作画監督), not chief ADs (総作画監督) (basically the directors above those directors). For that episode chief ADs are not credited, thus it's not applicable. Secondly, the episodes are officially listed with zeros in single digits, and since there is no MOS rule against it that's why it was added. And last but most importantly, do not break line episode staff names individually when you don't have to, as there is plenty enough table space on this template for it to remain on one single line. All this action does is inconsistently bulk up the episode boxes for no good reason. I hope this helps as to why I reverted your edit, because I felt like trying to explain all this on an undo revision summary wasn't going to be enough.

Ok, noted with thanks. It felt cumbersome trying to edit the already convoluted episode table, so I'll try my best not to tamper much with the original format. KANLen09 (talk) 06:17, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

@GalaxyFighter55 one question in this same vein, just raising this for your inference.

For series like Ishura which has all 3 positions (Writer, Storyboard, Ep director) listed on the official anime page, can it still be edited to fill these information into the episode table? KANLen09 (talk) 12:12, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

@KANLen09: If the ED, WR or SB artist is just one person by themselves on every episode (most commonly the episode writer is the series writer themselves; its a rarer case among ED or SB artists) its recommended you omit that field from the table as it'd just be spamming the same name on every single episode and wasting table space that could be better used elsewhere. In Ishura's case, Kenta Ihara (series writer) is the only episode writer, so that field is omitted for repetitiveness.--GalaxyFighter55 (talk) 19:14, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

Ok, I get your point. No wonder I felt like "How come there is a column missing" when it's all very repetitive. You raised a good point that can help me streamline the episode tables from now on, thanks for the help. KANLen09 (talk) 19:31, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

@KANLen09: Important question Kan, why do you continue to excessively align the sections up to the NativeTitleLangCode and line break (br) staff names? (the latter of which is told you not to do above)? The purpose of the section alignment is for source code editor readability only, and since all anime have NativeTitleLangCode because nearly all episodes are originally titled in Japanese to begin with, there's no need to line it up with it as its 4 full extra bytes per line. On just 2 cours worth of episodes per article this amounts to around an average of 1,300 unnecessary excess bytes. As for line breaking staff names, just don't do it. You can literally go on any non-anime episode list and that's not how its coded. If there is horizontal space available, there is absolutely no reason to do that. This example page is watchlisted by the very creator of the episode template and that's how they're supposed to be. Only line break in any situation that avoids bulking up the episode box above 2+ lines if possible.--GalaxyFighter55 (talk) 04:43, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

Sorry, I wasn't aware of the whole bytes thing. I just assumed that the line break will work essentially the same as how other people would've seen it. Even in most of the previous edits that I've done, the methodology is always the same, not realizing that the "insignificant" bytes do count as well to the overall structure and loading of the pages in general. Will take note of this going forward. KANLen09 (talk) 16:41, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

Episodes section

Hello KANLen09. Some time ago we discussed this thing about MOS:INFOBOXPURPOSE, and I thought we had come to an understanding on this, so why are you again adding links to the Episode sections in the articles, like with this edit or this other one? Xexerss (talk) 22:26, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

So unless the episode list is redirected to another page, then this will be applicable? KANLen09 (talk) 09:55, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
