In need of help for a Kabuki project[edit]

Hello! I'm currently working on some Kabuki themed projects to enhance this theme on Wikipedia. I'm currently looking for people to help me on the task. Among the things I'm not good at is creating infobox templates and I want to create two: one for the kabuki houses, and one for the actors. I'm still not sure because I just started on the subject but I'd like some feedback on it (good/bad idea ? Further kabuki themes improvment for the WikiProject?) Anyone wants to help? Thanks! 12:39, 3 December 2022 (UTC) OtharLuin (talk) 12:39, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Request[edit]

Some time ago, WikiProject film decided to overturn the very old rule that all films had to be in base "Country films" categories even if they were otherwise subcategorized for genre, as that was resulting in categories that had become far, far too large and needed to be controlled for size. Accordingly, Category:Japanese films needs to be cleaned out, with all of its remaining contents moved to subcategories instead of being filed in the parent category -- but the category still has over 500 films in it, a lot of the ones I've seen don't contain enough genre information in the article for me to know what genre category to move it to at all, and so many of the sources are in Japanese that I can't turn to the footnotes to determine a genre either since I don't have the ability to read that language. Accordingly, since people here might have more personal knowledge of the films and more ability to read the sources than I have, I'm asking for some assistance from this WikiProject in getting that category cleaned up. Thanks. Bearcat (talk) 14:40, 14 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Bearcat: Hey there! Just did all the A's. Hopefully I can do more in the future. Holidayruin (talk) 08:21, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
