We've got infobox templates for CDs, concerts, groups, members, photobooks, games, auditions--but there's usually something else. Recently I was noticing that the various TV and web shows don't. I could probably whip up something quick, but other people have done a lot more editing work on those pages so would probably have better ideas of what's most important or how to arrange things.

For that matter, radio shows don't have one either. Maybe the needs for that one would be similar enough to share one with the video shows?

Time aired? Show length? Where it's broadcast? Start and end date? Hosts? For some long-running shows this stuff may not be constant, so would it be more important to be complete or show the current status of things? Or both in separate sections? Chronology showing what shows one replaced or was replaced by, even though they may not be linked in other obvious ways?

Anyway, let it be known what you want. No big rush--it's hard enough to notice stuff in this section, and we've survived years without this so far.

I'm not sure how to fix it, but the concert infobox does not accommodate three acts, so W's concert chronology on the page for Hello☆Pro Party~! 2005 ~Matsuura Aya Captain Kouen~ does not display alongside Matsuura Aya and Melon Kinenbi's concert chronology.

Hi have made a wikia for my rp agency and have borrowed some of h!p wikia's stuff, most works but can't seem to get the group's name into the groups info as I see on the member info boxes here, it simply says script error but not sure how to fix that, the same with HideWikiLinks and age in years,months and days with a weird error as well ;3; any that can help?

Since a lot of OG members tend to have Instagram over Twitter, I made an Instagram template that I pretty much copied from the Twitter one.

Also, for the sake of having more tiny icons under the links section, I made the Template:BlogLink which only works for Ameba, LINE, and GREE blogs right now.

Hello everyone!

It's been a while since Discussions have been used, so I decided to announce it here. =D

Following the recent inactivity of two of our admins here, we have decided to choose one new admin from the lines of our active users.

In the past there were auditions for this purpose, however, they happened to decline in popularity, so we did not bring them back for this case.

After short discussion we decided to aproach one of our most active users, Ookiihitomi, who agreed on becoming an admin.

Once again, congratulations on becoming an admin and welcome to the team, Ookihitomi!

Hello, everyone. I'm finally ready to share a project I've been wanting to make a reality for a few months. Most of the work has been done in the past few days, as these things usually happen, haha. There is a TLDR at the bottom if you just want the links and to see how the sorters work.

As of right now, I've finished and updated all the current and some former Hello! Project groups - any others are subject to consideration given that their discography is a bit limited (example, W; sorry Josh) or soloists with perhaps less demand (example: Goto Maki). In the future (perhaps very soon), I'm planning on making a single sorter containing all past and present members of Hello! Project, as it seems silly to make individual ones for each group in some cases. Request at will, and I'll see what I can do!

TDLR; Explanation below

Steps:

1) Choose between two songs until you reach 100% completion. The length of time it takes depends on the amount of songs involved. (For example, Berryz Koubou took me 185 battles and perhaps 7-10 minutes while watching a movie.)

That's all there is to it! If you DO NOT want ties at all, do not choose "I Like Both" or "No Opinion. The screenshot I've provided shows the end result.

This blog links to all existing sorters I've made. Click on the image or name of a group to go there. DO NOT NAVIGATE AWAY WHILE SORTING OR YOU WILL LOSE YOUR PROGRESS. helloprojectsort.tumblr.com

If you've paid attention to the intro text on the front page you may have seen this coming, but since it's easy to look past the same unchanging text after many many views it kind of snuck up on me. Today makes 10 years since Hello! Project Wiki was founded!

Our connections to the beginning are pretty tenuous at this point. The founder and editors from the early days (and early years really) are long gone. Few pages that existed at the time would look anything like their modern counterpart, though the basic setup of today's front page still has a lot in common with what it looked like on day one. helloproject.wikia.com/wiki/Hello!_Project_Wiki?oldid=3040

On to decade two!

Hey guys. As you can see here, someone from Fandom has contacted us about interest in turning on Discussions, a newer feature that's been in the works for some time and is intended as the eventual overall replacement for Forum and more, but at this time is possible to make coexist.

You can read some more about it in an old Fandom staff post about it here or the Discussions FAQ.

It's been a while since I even thought about Discussions so I don't have an immediate comment, but as I'm about to head out for work I thought I'd at least pop this up so anyone else can respond about it more quickly than I'm ready to.

Last year I showed some images from the Google Translate mobile app's ability to translate images live. The results were more funny than useful. HOWEVER, I've learned of something that was possible even back then but I just plain missed it, which ups its usefulness considerably. By pressing the icon seen at the bottom left of my screenshots there, it's possible to load up a saved image rather than having a live camera view. This allows you to use a much clearer source image, and not have to worry about it changing what it thinks it's seeing every time your hand twitches. For this example I still just used a decent photo taken with my phone, so it's not even the best case scenario.

It then highlights the parts of it where it thinks it detects readable text and lets you choose, or just hit Select All, which I did. Here's the text it detected, or at least the beginning of it.

And similarly, the beginning of its translation. Which is of course not perfect, but Google Translate never is.

Unfortunately still no way to do this outside of the mobile app, but oh well.

Also, "It is a manner story of a hot girl child who touched it all" is one of my new favorite Google Translate-isms.

I've been using this wiki a long time, but one thing I never messed with until now was more advanced options for sorting things in categories--mostly because just leaving things as they are by default is usually fine. But looking in a DVD magazine category and seeing things like Vol.5 ending up ordered between Vol.49 and Vol.50 is a bit icky, not to mention instances where a group has had an altered name.

I'm working on the existing DVD magazine entries right now, so no need to worry about them. But for other similar cases and future new pages, here's how it works. There are two ways to go about it.

First, there's DEFAULTSORT. Use it like

{{DEFAULTSORT:Morning Musume DVD Magazine Vol.002}}

I don't think placement on the page really matters, but I've been leaving them right at the bottom under the categories. What this does is tell the system "In all categories, use THIS text for sorting instead of the page name." In the above example, Morning Musume DVD Magazine Vol.2 will no longer be listed right before Vol.20 (and in the far future, Vol.200).

The second way is to provide an alternate sorting name for specific categories. Where would this be useful? I used it for a collaboration DVD Magazine between two groups, so it could end up in chronological order in both groups' lists.

[[Category:Morning Musume DVD Magazines|Morning Musume DVD Magazine Vol.062a]]

[[Category:ANGERME DVD Magazines|ANGERME DVD Magazine Vol.0010a]]

Now in Morning Musume's list it will come after Vol.62, and in ANGERME's list it will come after S/mileage Vol.10 (the extra 00s I used to put all the S/mileage ones before the ANGERME ones).

Realistically since most things that have volumes don't get to double digits, they'll all end up sorting fine without anything being done to them. Triple digits (Morning Musume) and name changes (Morning Musume, S/mileage) requiring more extensive changes are even more rare.

I know I am an outlier in that I sometimes scan images, for things there aren't discography pages for or where the discography images are old and awful. Does anyone else ever scan? I'm kind of curious whether the reason there's not more is lack of having interesting things to scan, lack of scanners themselves, or just that it seems like too much of a hassle.

Some time back we toggled on the Fandom/Wikia chat, but I don't think it ever got much use. I idled there for a while, but long term it wasn't worth leaving a tab for it open all the time.

I'm wondering if anyone thinks it might be worthwhile to set up something like a Discord server? It's something that seems to be increasing in popularity and I've started using it for some other purposes in the last few months--so even something like long-term idling would be simpler for people like me who are already running the desktop or mobile app anyway.

Some of you may remember that I keep a few H!P group domain names registered: both factories and the yearly Morning Musume. I consider this "benevolent squatting", since UP-FRONT doesn't care to grab them themselves and when others register them they either don't point to anywhere much interesting or are just trying to be resold.

Previously I've had the domains pointing to group's pages here, or with language codes used as sudbdomains going to the other languages' wikis, or things like youtube. going to the YouTube channel. Recently I had another idea for expansion: member names. So now you can go to

fukumuramizuki.morningmusume18.com

hirose.kobushifactory.com

rikoyamagishi.tsubakifactory.com

and end up at the appropriate member pages. This works for morningmusume18.com, kobushifactory.com, and tsubakifactory.com. For all current members it should work for last+first, first+last, just first, or just last--with the exception of where there'd be a conflict like just plain haruna for Morning Musume which could be Iikubo or Ogata.

A big thing missing in many of these pages is the tracklist--which we can often see, but lack the kanji skills to properly type out. While searching for some info related to one magazine a bit ago, though, I ran across a relevant section of a Japanese wiki. It lists most or all of the magazines and pamphlets through July 2011, and though it's far from comprehensive, it also has the tracklist for many of them.

I'm a little hesitant to just trust some third party info source, but at least in the cases where we can see it matches the back cover or DVD menus this seems pretty good.
