page: Guyver

[*Jess♥]

This is the discussion topic for the wiki article: Guyver

[*Jess♥]

Really nice work on this page !!

I especially like how we now have all links to where to buy the music.

thats pretty awesome!

[Bio-Boosted Dude]

How would we go about making that table at the top right of the page containing some quick facts? Ya know, the one that also usually would have the cover to a film, a move poster...

[*Jess♥]

the infobox?

there is a discussion thread about that as well.

I want to get the information fields ironed out before we start putting it on all the relevant pages.

or at least mostly ironed out.

if you want to put what we currently have onto the Guyver page, just check the template and copy the code from it changing the relevant bits.

[*Jess♥]

hmm...

I was thinking that we have a separate page for Guyver and Guyver the manga.. bbut maybe the basic 'guyver' page should be about the Manga because it is the original version?

[Bio-Boosted Dude]

I think the Main Page could be an overall overview about it... what the basic plot is in each adaptation- what Guyver is, zoanoids etc.

Then, in the real sections we can talk morea bout what goes on, differences to the Manga and such.

Ive start the OOC page with the crew... but it's got those horrible boxes around the names. i've kept editting it and messing aroiund with it but can't them to go away.

[*Jess♥]

ah! I thought it was interesting and different!

so it was unintentional!

I think it is because there is a space in front of each line.

I think thats what makes the box.

I agree about the main page, that makes sense.

there might be a problem with categorising it though?

thats why i had a doubt about it.. because it wouldn't fit smoothly into a category unless we made a category called concept or idea or something.

[Guest DekaRed]

i fixed it for ya bbdude

[Bio-Boosted Dude]

i've removed the crew section for the main Guyver page, as it was already on the OOC page.

Will look for more stuff to do soon.

[Bio-Boosted Dude]

Should we remove the screenshots from the main Guyver page and just give each section their own screenshots for the apprpriete adaptation?

[*Jess♥]

I'm not too sure on this one.

I think the screenshots apply, because they are of guyver...

that page is a bit random at the moment.

I wouldn't complain if you removed them.

[Bio-Boosted Dude]

I think we can decide what to put on the Main Page after we give the rest of the pages more substance then, eh?

[durendal]

I just took a peek of our Guyver Page after reading Mirabilis' suggestion. I have to say, the page seems to need a little re-orientation. Would anybody mind if I revamp the page a little? Nothing major, just relocating some stuff so it won't look disorganized.

Also, perhaps we can also apply the end page navigational template here. You know, like the one I made for the KR pages that have links to every titles that are related. Perhaps we can include in the navigation template links to the manga, TV, OVA, movies, Advocacy and etc.

Here's my proposal at the moment:

Main Page: Guyver

Guyver Side: Sho Fukamachi, Tetsuro Segawa, etc etc

Chronos Side: Alchanfel, Balcus, etc etc

Zeus Thunderbolt Side: Agito Makishima, Griselda, etc etc

Others: Apollyon, Valcuria, etc etc

Terms: Zoanoid, Hyper Zoanoid, Lost Number, Zoalord, etc etc

Location: Relics Point, Mount Minakami, Arizona HQ, Silha, etc etc

Media: Manga, OVA, TV series, Novel, Movies, etc etc

Advocacy: VDF, Volume 9, Volume 10, etc etc.

These are just at the top of my head. Perhaps you guys can come up with something better.

[*Jess♥]

I should say, most certainly, you can change the page as you see fit, as long as all information will fit in.

it needs to contain all the stuff from the guyvernet since the plan was to tie the two sites together more closely.

since mirabilis is eager to work with this, i think that we should also wait for his input on this.

I hope he is aware of this section of the site.

or rather.. I think that changes can be made but it can also be left open for reversing some things or changing some things in a different way.

I like the way you have laid that out.

it is echoing the visual datafiles in a way. I think that must have been intentional

[durendal]

Before I proceed, I thought about using this layout for the page:

=History - something like publication history

=Synopsis

=Character

==Protagonist - Just a gist of the characters, with each character having their own page. Similar for the rest of the characters below, or just a link redirecting to a page dedicated to the characters.

==Cronos

===Hyper Zoanoid Team 5

===12 Holy Commander

==Zeus Thunderbolt

==Others

=Terminology - Just the usual terms like Zoaforms, Zoanoid, Hyper Zoanoid, Lost Number, Zoalord etc. with short information and all linking to other pages for more detailed information. Information about the Guyver (like control metal, Bioboost Armor, etc) can also be placed here with links to other pages for more detailed information.

=Adaptations - here is where the other media is located.

=Merchandise

=Translations - Obviously where the advocacy and the text translations comes in.

=External Links

I hope this will merit everyone's approval.

[*Jess♥]

yeah that looks good to me. more detailed and it looks very sensible.

although i'm not sure about a specific sub-heading for team 5 or the council.

I actually think it would be nice to have a note about them and perhaps a link to their own page.

[durendal]

I just added a few short descriptions for characters, just to start the ball rolling. As well as place holders should other people want to create pages for said characters.

Also, I'm thinking of fixing the guyver synopsis page, just to make the page look coherent.

Additionally, should we have editing guidelines for the guyver page in terms of formatting and content? Having different people work on different pages would have some pages somewhat inconsistent. I also noticed that the zoalord pages contain spoilers. Perhaps a warning tag may be in order?

With the volumous amounts of information that will be put into this project, I'm still thinking on a navbox for the guyver pages, similar to that of the zoalord navbox.

[*Jess♥]

that all sounds good.

I'm not sure about making guidelines for the pages.

I'm actually reluctant to do anything like that because up til now, there has been nobody editing them. now we have some guys doing a great job and there is a possibility that it may bring more people. certain guidelines may prove discouraging.

all the pages can always be edited afterwards for consistency. and i'm sure that once somebody starts doing a page, we can always ask them if they would like to make it more consistent or if they would mind if somebody else did it.

feel free to do some editing on the synopsis page.

I would like it if all the page were presented like book 1 with the title of the chapters.

I just don't have access to the japanese books to translate the titles. otherwise i would have done it already.

oh, and i went over the names. moved a few pages and corrected the links in places that i could see.

maybe we could have a page dedicated just to spellings...

[durendal]

Well, I've added the publication history as well as other characters. I'll continue to update this as time permits me. Also, should we keep what's written on the terminologies refering zoanoids as a piece of paper? I find it funny, yet somehow it kinda relates to the relation of the zoaforms. And zoalord as Michael Angelo of the Sistine Chapel?

[*Jess♥]

yeah that was a very effective way of describing the meaning of the different labels.

we get so much confusion about it, I think it's a very good thing to have.

[durendal]

Well, I've re-configured the guyver synopsis page. (hope nobody minds). It now includes placeholders for information like release dates and ISBN number for the japanese and english release, as well as the title for the books. Also added chapters that are not yet in full volume, although the chapter numbering might need a little correction. All that's left to do now is to fill up the missing information.

I'm still thinking if I should link the chapters to the page of each book. Like clicking on chapter 10 will link you to the summary of chapter 10 on the book 2 page. You know, using the "#" reference. But the page for each books needs a little more work. A task that I am not equipped to do since I have never read any of those chapters.

Will continue to work on this to further improve the overall presentation.

[*Jess♥]

cool, the ISBN is an excellent touch.

however, I think that would be more suited to the merchandise page, would you agree?

unless you think that there could be some way to combine these?

also, I think that the link to the actual synopsis could be clearer but I could try and do that myself when i get chance.

i like the idea of linking the chapters.

[durendal]

Phew, took me a good while to edit the synopsis page. I've cleaned up a lot of the formatting and included the Japanese titles for each volumes. I can say that the synopsis page now looks more reader friendly.

With regards to the ISBN, I'm not sure how we can link it to the merchandise page right now, since the merchandise page only lists what came out when with no further information. I think we should keep the ISBN as is and link it to the particular merchandise on the merchandise page. However, we will need to rework the merchandise page to make the ISBN link practical, like containing sites where that particular item may be purchased, dimensions, weight, etc. Again, I'm not equipped to take on this task as I have absolutely little to no merchandise relating to guyver. But don't worry, I think we will get to that part eventually. Let's just think macro and work on it one small step at a time.

Hey, this is kinda fun.

[*Jess♥]

ok so you decided to keep the ISBN here. I think in that case, we can work on a way of embedding this in the merchandise page.

I need to make note of the anchors in this page. the anchors were linked to from the zoanoid files.

I don't want to disrupt your tables so I have needed to find a new way of making the anchor.

edit:

since, for whatever reason, anchors do not work, I have found that i have had to split the large table into small separate tables.

I found that this made a very large contents table, so I have suppressed the contents for the synopsis page.

I added the missing ISBN for the 1st 3 chuangyi books.

I have the japanese book 25 so I will translate the chapter titles for that one.

[durendal]

Oh My! My apologies, I did not realize that you were using anchors for that page. In any case, the page now looks much better and easier to edit.
