Styling

Aren't we going to use the old Theppn's style? I want to make sure because if it's true, I will reorganize pages with other formats to a same format that we always used at the old Theppn. Seph 08:24, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Yes, it's all following thePPN's format, so you're more than welcomed to updated any pages that don't follow the format :) EXodius 01:03, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Doing some testing of an addon that allows you to share/save links. I know thePPN didn't have this, hence why I'm hoping to get some input from everyone here on it EXodius 06:42, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

So the calendar addon was a bust, but does anyone here have any idea on what sort of coding was used to make the random blocks for featured artists and oricon charts? I'll be looking at wikipedia's code to figure out how it can be done, so don't be surprised if it doesn't look 100% accurate at first ;) --EXodius 20:10, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

I think the Theppn used templates for the featured artists and Oricon charts sections. Does anyone have a source code of an old Oricon weekly charts, I want to update them again. Seph 01:44, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Discography Table?

What is the story with the discography table layout here? This presents an inconsistency for this wiki. For example, on BoA we have her Korean and Japanese releases listed sequentially. Why don't we do that here for tommyfebruary6 and tommyheavenly6? I do think it would be nice at some point to have discography data sorted in tables/templates, but that would be a project for another day... Emifox032 23:05, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Check out this, as it's styled more like wikipedia. While I know we're not condoning the copying of articles from there, this block shows just how unified other artist blocks could look like. --EXodius 06:21, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

We don't use discography table for Japanese and Korean releases, they go into 2 separated sections, Kawase has one because she is releasing simultaneously in 2 stage names. Seph 06:47, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Weekly Articles

Glad you caught on, Seph! After trying addons and researching tons of code, I was finally able to figure out how thePPN had its articles on the front page each week! I just added the means of adding Oricon charts as well, so please let me know if you need it set up a certain way or anything. Thanks as always! --EXodius 13:46, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

I'll work on the Oricon weekly charts later. The Theppn had 2 Oricon charts, the top 10 and the top 30. I think you missed the top 30 on Main Page template, it is the line (Click Here for the Weekly Top 30 / Daily Charts) under the top 10 charts. For example, for this weeks, the small charts is Chart:Oricon Weekly for 2009 week 24 (used for the main page template) and the big charts is Oricon Weekly for 2009 week 24 (linked from the main page). And according to Oricon, this week is the 24th because Oricon 2009 started from December 22nd, 2008. Anyway, thank you, I hope we'll see a large Asian media wiki back again by the end of summer.
