Forum:Village in Distress: A new E-Ranked Mission!

If you're wondering where I got the name, it's a parody name of Episode 69; "Village in Distress: A New A-Ranked Mission!"

Since they are definately the most needed thing to be worked on, this is a project for working on starting out the Character Articles. This is not a project for creating new content, but starting the base of the wiki by copying content that Wikipedia already has onto the wiki. Below is a table which should be filled up with a list of all the characters which Wikipedia has an article or section about. In the list we have the Name of the character as a link to the place where they are located. There is also a link to the location that the content should be put. And a column for redirects which should link to that page. Then there is the claiming column, to stop editors from bumping into either other's edits before you start on one of these articles you should use tides ( ~ ) to sign your name in the claiming column for the article you are going to copy from Wikipedia, and of course a column to place Done into when you've completed the task. Just because the community is still new to the copying of the articles there's also a column which I'll sign after I've read over an article to make sure nothing was missed.

Remember to follow the steps at How to copy from Wikipedia. Also note that there is a new Ann template. The difference between it and Wikipedia's is that instead of a Ann anime, and Ann manga template we just have an Ann template and the first parameter is either anime or manga. Wikipedia likes to use the id= and title= params, but it's ok here just to place the id in the param after anime/manga, and the title after that. ~Dantman(talk) current discussion Apr 4, 2007 @ 01:43 (UTC)

So basicly we just get new content from wikipedia, use ann temnplate, and make redirects? Random123 19:14, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Basically, and of course we follow How to copy from Wikipedia. That Ann thing is something in Animepedia's guide that I should copy to here to. The objective of this project is to copy all the existing Wikipedia stuff now while we have little content so that we don't half to merge to much existing content into what is copied later. ~Dantman(talk) current discussion Apr 5, 2007 @ 21:53 (UTC)

I'd like to note that Wikipedia's articles are all written out-of-universe, and in the future we're going to be editing all the articles (except the ones on real people) to be in-universe. That's one big difference between the future of the wiki and Wikipedia. ~Dantman(talk) current discussion Apr 6, 2007 @ 03:49 (UTC)

If this is e rank, than what would we do for an A rank mission? Random123 21:15, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

I've also seen e- rank used as traning missions for acadamy students with no pay or cost in some fanfictions. either way, i should mention that the wikipedia articles should be looked over before posted. example the article for the game "broken bond" (don't know how to cite, sorry) conained certain mentionings but compleatly missed things that some fans would consider important to know. hell some people over on wikipedia should know. anyway just be on the lookout for articles that are missing relivent info -yagi takeru
