<p>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.</p><p>
</p><p>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?</p><p>
</p><p>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?</p><p>
</p><p>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.</p>

<p>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. </p>

<p>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?</p>

<p>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.</p><p>
</p><p>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.</p>

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

<figure class="article-thumb tright show-info-icon" style="width: 180px"> <figcaption> </figcaption></figure>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. <div style="clear:both; margin: 0; padding: 0"></div> <figure class="article-thumb tright show-info-icon" style="width: 180px"> <figcaption> </figcaption></figure>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. <div style="clear:both; margin: 0; padding: 0"></div> <figure class="article-thumb tright show-info-icon" style="width: 180px"> <figcaption> </figcaption></figure>And similarly, the beginning of its translation. Which is of course not perfect, but Google Translate never is. <p>Unfortunately still no way to do this outside of the mobile app, but oh well. </p><p>Also, "It is a manner story of a hot girl child who touched it all" is one of my new favorite Google Translate-isms. </p>

<p>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. </p><p>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. </p><p>First, there's DEFAULTSORT. Use it like </p><p>{{DEFAULTSORT:Morning Musume DVD Magazine Vol.002}} </p><p>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). </p><p>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. </p><p>[[Category:Morning Musume DVD Magazines|Morning Musume DVD Magazine Vol.062a]] [[Category:ANGERME DVD Magazines|ANGERME DVD Magazine Vol.0010a]] </p><p>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). </p><p>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. </p>

<p>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. </p>

<p>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. </p><p>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. </p>

<p>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. </p><p>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 </p>

• http://fukumuramizuki.morningmusume18.com
• http://hirose.kobushifactory.com
• http://rikoyamagishi.tsubakifactory.com

<p>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 <i>haruna</i> for Morning Musume which could be Iikubo or Ogata. </p>

<p>A big thing missing in many of these pages is the tracklist--which we can often <i>see</i>, 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. </p><p>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. </p>

<p>Satou Masaki's frings + Luna Lovegood's haircolour = Sofia Soti Perez </p>

<p>We use Template:MB for producing standardized boxes featuring a member's name and a recent image of them. Something I've been wondering is if we should have a similar template without the box? </p><p>Reason being things like the List pages. Morning Musume Jealousy Jealousy images come out, and soon enough there's Ookiihitomi making like 30 small edits to pages both for the individuals and group to update to the latest picture. Another way to go about things would be to put this theoretical template on each page instead, {{Theoretical|Kaga Kaede}} on List:Kaga Kaede Pocket Morning Weekly Q&A and List:Kaga Kaede Discography Featured In. Then the template itself would have a list similar to MB, with lines like </p>

|Haga Akane = HagaAkane-JealousyJealousy-full.jpg
|Kaga Kaede = KagaKaede-JealousyJealousy-full.jpg
|Makino Maria = MakinoMaria-JealousyJealousy-full.jpg
|Morning Musume = JealousyJealousypromo.jpg

<p>So rather than making changes to ~30 pages, it would be changing ~15 lines on a single page. </p><p>Something like this should not be too difficult to set up (besides the one-time switchover on each of the affected pages), but since I'm never the one doing these mass changes it wouldn't really affect me. Those of you who <i>do</i> do this sort of thing, would this make your lives easier or just be another bothersome method to learn? </p>

<p>Since a few people showed interest in adding some sort of random quote to the front page, I figured I should test how it might look. Here are some of the results. </p> <div style="clear:both; margin: 0; padding: 0"></div> <figure class="article-thumb tright show-info-icon" style="width: 180px"> <figcaption> </figcaption></figure>Just straight up using the Quote template in the same way as on the individual member pages looks pretty decent. No picture, though. <div style="clear:both; margin: 0; padding: 0"></div> <figure class="article-thumb tright show-info-icon" style="width: 180px"> <figcaption> </figcaption></figure>Pyo-kiyo suggested using the MB template, but I don't think that'll work very well. The size just doesn't quite work either to be beside or above/below the quote, and since it's not like a regular image the text doesn't flow around it. <div style="clear:both; margin: 0; padding: 0"></div> <figure class="article-thumb tright show-info-icon" style="width: 180px"> <figcaption> </figcaption></figure>Using a regular image thumbnail and ditching the Quote template doesn't look bad. Anoter advantage over using the MB template is we could go with images from the same period as the quote, like here I've used a December 2015 Maria pic to go with the November 2015 quote. You can't tell in this image, but her name in this test is a link, it's just hidden similar to the section heading links on the page. <div style="clear:both; margin: 0; padding: 0"></div> <figure class="article-thumb tright show-info-icon" style="width: 180px"> <figcaption> </figcaption></figure><figure class="article-thumb tright show-info-icon" style="width: 180px"> <figcaption> </figcaption></figure>Since I was testing possibilities I did also try having a much wider quote at the top of the page above everything, but I don't think it really works. I'm kind of glad, because I'd really rather not shove down everything in the large part of the front page down too.

<p>I've been linking certain things on some of the H!P members pages to places on other wikis (such as the AKB48 one or the J-Pop one) when necessary to provide the reader with easier access to said page. I've been doing this for a while now and my edits haven't been removed and I'm assuming that it's okay. But I just want to make sure in case the majority of the users aren't okay with it. </p>

<p>We generally try to make page names for releases as close to the official version as possible, but I feel like this is a place where we should make an exception, since the official version is handled so inconsistently. The differences seem to be more about what some UP-FRONT cover artist's whim was on a particular day than any real intent. So we end up with all these different kinds of capitalizations in names. </p><p>DVD MAGAZINE vol.4 DVD Magazine vol.16 DVD MAGAZINE Vol.1 DVD MAGAZINE VOL.10 </p><p>If I wanted to link to the 13th volume of Morning Musume DVD Magazine, as is there's no way for me be sure which version it would use. So I propose we stick to a standard version like "Magazine Vol." all the time. They do seem to use all-caps MAGAZINE more frequently so I can understand if others think that is the way to go, but as long as we're choosing between inconsistencies I vote for the one that reads most sensible in English. </p><p>From an English point of view I'm also not crazy about the number coming directly after Vol. without a space, but they're at least consistent with that so I'm willing to be stuck with it. </p><p>I list them separately in the title because there are volumes outside of just DVD magazines and I wonder if we should include those, too? Like Morning Musume ~Best Shot~ vol.1 or even Cutie Queen VOL.1. That latter is an especially good example, I think, because not even the two covers agree on capitalization; one uses VOL.1 and the other uses Vol.1. </p>
