Supratim1986 wrote: The only Wikia wide change i made yet, is rename character pages as per the Official LN translation, and removing redirects (most of the redirects i removed were of misspelled names or double redirects, so they had to go either way). Some redirect pages should be made with intentional misspelling to make it easier to navigate. It's always convenient for viewers if the wiki automatically redirects you even if you misspelled or made a typo.

Supratim1986 wrote: As for the names of the LN Volume article pages (the only one on which i did extensive renaming) in a way i restored their name as it was originally done by the older Staff (the older staff also named it the same way as a i did). So, its sort of back to square-one, and if needed changes can be made depending on need. You put emphasis on consistency yet you name articles accordingly to official translation for characters but not LN titles. ?? :D ??

Supratim1986 wrote: Also, i am not stress proper naming, i am stressing on shorter links and naming of pages/images in a sequential order so that they can be arranged and managed properly. Also, the thing about ".png" images, i am mainly doing it because quite a few Wikia's also have the same policy of ".png", since they are lossless compression, and preferably better than ".jpg". The LN titles are as consistent as it gets when it comes to naming. It's literally the title with a number at the end of it. Just how difficult can it get to manage them.

"Other wikis did it" is a very poor argument. I could say the same for not following a consistent image format and the argument will still apply.

But i do know that this is the Arifureta wikia, and there isn't really a need to name every thing with the full name itself, since i would be including Japanese, English and Korean as stuff as well (found out that this series is also officially released in Korean, so do plan to include the Cover images atleast). Considering that there would be multiple pages redirecting to a single one, there absolutely isn't any reason to have arbitrarily shortened article names as the main article as well. Considering that, it's better to reinforce objectivity by following official titles.

Also, this is an English wiki thus its content should be localized to English. Very few Japanese and Korean people will be using this. They have their own wiki sites to rely on.

The volumes have the printed names as "Boruto: Naruto Next Generations", but none of their article names or links are named with the full name. Same with the Bleach Wikia as well. They are only using the specific name of the Volume itself (not the whole name). The reason i chose those two because, they are some of the biggest Wikia's around. Also, both those wikia have the ".png" image upload policy. While some wikis indeed do have strict policies on image uploading, it doesn't mean that this wiki should as well. Be it PNG or JPEG, there are no practical differences between the two when it comes to being used for wikia.

And he the only older contributor on this wikia who is still active. Good luck fixing a wiki with just two people.

As for the "achievement points", those don't matter to me as i don't even bother with them, and if possible can disable them (don't really see the point for those really).

As for the category of "Light Novel Volumes" (which i think you are referring to here), i initially cleared it out as there was already the "Light Novel" (you can confirm with the history), but then when i did a search on Google, that category was showing up as one of the top results. So, i decided to restore it, since it was like a broken Search link. It's ironic that you're using "google search" as an argument.
