Forum:Non-Canon Spin-Offs

Hola amigos,

today I am here to discuss a rather major issue which impacts the way this wiki is supposed to head to.

ಠ_ಠ That sounds really serious, doesn't it?

Anyways, to make this as short as possible, hahahahaha looking at it now, it really isn't short I think the way we are handling all the spin-offs appearing everywhere is extremely inefficient. We have barely enough active contributors to deal with the main series and its anime (hello, Eclipse Spirits arc still not being up to date?) and I believe not even Ice Trail, supposedly a canon series is completely updated.

There have been some people trying to make contributions towards these series (Fairy Girls, Sabertooth thingy, etc.) and their help is greatly appreciated, but for, uh, the betterment of the wiki, we should come up with a much simpler format to ensure that we are not left with half-updated articles, only a few character/magic/fight pages made, etc.

So, my suggestion is: Every spin-off series should have
 * A general page - As in, what the series is, its creator, brief description of plot, and a list of chapters/volumes. The latter could be a separate page too for all I care.
 * There should be a separate Characters page either for every difference spin-off, or for all spin-offs together. I'm leaning towards the latter. The point is, I think it's super retarded to have these characters mixed into the main series' list when they are non-canon - more than any anime filler will ever be, hell, they could be an alternate universe of sorts too.

And that's it.

Seriously.

No specific chapter pages. No specific character pages. No fight pages. No magic pages.

Really.

As long as all these spin-offs are running, there is no way in hell we'll be able to make articles for everything necessary the way we do it for the main series. They will never be up to date or in the quality we're looking for. And that makes things look super messy in my humble opinion. Characters from different series mixed up with others, half of them not having pages or them not being complete... yeah, no, ty.

We're Fairy Tail wiki, not Fairy Girls wiki or something like that. If anyone wants to make a separate encyclopedia for them, be my guest. However, we should be focusing on the main series (ECS says hello again) before making more work for us with these spin-offs. Yea, they are FT related material, but they are not canon, they are different universe, etc. They do deserve a mention on the wiki, but they shouldn't get the same attention as the main series. By far.

So, uh, discuss? If anyone has a different suggestion, do share. Later, we can gather everything for some voting or what, but for now, just share your opinion.

Misk out.
