Saiyuki Wiki Weekly Issue #1

Saiyuki Wiki is alive! It's invigorating to see editors actively at work and lively discussions taking place. Let's take a moment to do a quick review.

Saiyuki Discord

A huge shout-out and thanks to the mods over at Saiyuki Discord for offering to host a space for Saiyuki Wiki discussion. It's also a great place for general discussion amongst fellow fans. Everyone is welcome to join and participate, just be sure to read and abide by all Saiyuki Discord rules.

Discussions Enabled

The Discussions feature has now been enabled on the wiki. This is a space to gather and discuss the wiki as well as the Saiyuki series in general. Both wiki editors as well as fans visiting to look for info and a place to chat are welcome to post here.

Wiki Project Sign-Ups

For those who find it helpful to keep track of who is doing what, feel free to post here if there is a particular task on the wiki that you want to work on. This also makes it easy to see who you can collaborate with as you edit.

Editing in TabView

It seems that Saiyuki Wiki is currently using TabView in the main character articles. TabView is apparently no longer supported by Fandom.com. Editing these pages can be frustrating because you either need to open the tab in a new browser tab/window in order to edit, or, if this doesn't work, manually change the URL for the tab that you want to edit. The Saiyuki Wiki community is currently looking into a possible solution. Another option is to leave as is. If you have any knowledge in this area or have any suggestions, please do share.

Character Background in Articles

A question has come up regarding the formatting of character background info in articles. Some articles currently use a "Difference between the anime and manga" section format. Is this something that we should change? It's important to clearly differentiate these differences and to maintain the manga version as primary. Any thoughts on how to best achieve this are welcome.

'''Wiki Policy '''

I still have the rough draft on my to-do list as soon as I have the time to sit and work through it. The rough draft will be put up for community review/approval before being finalized and put into effect.

'''Community Appreciation '''

Top contributors this week are Leexian44 and Waifine! Thanks to the both of you, and many thanks to all the others who have make valuable contributions to the wiki this week, whether through edits or through sharing your thoughts in discussion posts.

'''Looking Ahead '''

There is still so much work to do on the wiki and the timing is perfect. I hope we can all use the excitement of the upcoming Zeroin anime to fuel our motivation for the wiki. Let's help draw in and retain new fans by making a clear resource that people can rely on. Please keep chipping away at your wiki projects and together we will work through any issues that come up.
