Forum:Ice Trail and Zero

Okay, I have some legitimate concerns with Ice Trail and Zero. The wiki is supposed to be consistent, which we arguably are not as of late, and on the wiki, we have characters that have histories that are extensive and cannot have, say, Ice Trail as a separate part of their synopsis, but can have it in their history (e.g. Gray). Hades is a good example of someone who cannot have Zero in their synopsis because he has a history that has things occur well after he leaves Fairy Tail and things Zero most definitely will not cover (his leaving of FT, naming of Makarov as master, teaching Ultear, etc.).

We cannot have a bunch of characters having the information given as a synopsis and then make an exception for others because a couple characters have too detailed a history. It's either one or the other; there cannot be any in between because this is the same exact content that we are dealing with throughout. I understand the underlying concern is something sounding similar to, "Well, if we have it as history then it's not like they're part of the story," but to that I have to say that this occurs before the story we are supposed to prioritize. We can write a condensed version of what happened and then, if people are really curious about what happens specifically, they can read the chapter summary, the chapter itself (again), or read any events or fights that may be written. It's honestly not a difficult thing to do.

Originally I supported the idea of having the content for Ice Trail and Zero as being thrown into a synopsis format, but that was on a trial basis. I see now that it doesn't work for every page, which it needs to. I think we should honestly revisit the idea of putting the content for both series in the history sections of the characters they pertain to; if the character doesn't exist, boom. They get made with their role in a history section. It is conflicting content, and I also remember a comparison being made to Magi wiki, but if you really look close, what they have for Sinbad no Bouken also directly goes against the history section. What I mean is that, say, for Sinbad, he has his history of things that occur after Bouken, but then everything that actually constitutes as his history is thrown under Bouken's synopsis, which is messy, unprofessional, and just plain, in my opinion, weird. Anyway, lay it down. 03:43, December 20, 2014 (UTC)
