Seiyuu wikis [Renaming wikis]

I ran into these four erroneously entitled seiyuu wikis. Since the seiyuu tags do have some posts each, I guess the wiki pages should be renamed (no commas) rather than removed.

• fukui,_yukari
• inoue,_marina
• kakihara,_tetsuya
• konishi,_katsuyuki

Wiki pages cannot be renamed they just have to be recreated under the proper name.

Changed your subject line since I'd like to use this thread discuss what would be proper in seiyuu wikis in general.

I want to hash that out before I move those over to the correct tags.

I'm just thinking:

Name in Japanese, short list of their 2-4 most common roles uploaded to danbooru, see also link to the seiyuu_joke tag, and maybe one or two sample posts linked with explanation of what the seiyuu_joke is.

That sounds good. Most important is the list of notable roles, as it's essential for identifying seiyuu jokes.

Yeah, I just want to keep the list rather short since ANN or Wiki are going to have far more comprehensive and up to date lists than we would.

Aye. Though a good guideline seems to be "update as new jokes get posted".

Should seiyuu tags be character tags? Most of the seiyuu tags on danbooru are currently character tags, but they're not technically characters, but they're also not technically artists, and they're definitely not copyrights, so...?

Character tags apply to both fictional and real characters. See albert_yi, for instance.

Barring creation of a model tagtype character is the next best thing.

You can think of char: as (non-artist) "people" in some ways. It's just that 99%+ of the time that's going to mean a fictional character in an anime/manga/game/novel/visual novel. So yeah, char: typing seiyuu is appropriate.

Especially true in cases like Lucky Star, where the voice actors make an actual in-show appearance.

I redid fukui_yukari along the lines of what I had suggested above, if anyone wants to take a look. Wasn't a lot to go on with her really, in fact I'm surprised how small some of the seiyuu tags are.

If anyone wants to take a shot on doing something similar with the other seiyuu, go ahead. Else I'll try to get to them at some point later.

Fine, nice to see you could make use of the thread. :)

Does that mean, the next time I find something similar I should create a new page, cut-and-paste the content, and go to "Pointless Wikis" (forum #24575) with the "leftovers"?

Yeah, pretty much. Say you moved [tag] to [proper tag]. (With double brackets to link to the pages, obviously.)

I would like to see a real people color tag.
of course I am far more aware of western names than japanese names.

If we are going to have another color tag type, I think there are better things to start with than real people. The metatag thing, for one, would be more useful. As is usually the argument against it though, too many colors/types makes all the colors less usable.
