      • 2012-06-16 16845, 2012

      • CatCat
        it's sort name is "keroro allstars" so should it be split at all?

      • 2012-06-16 16857, 2012

      • warp
        ok, so the first bit outside the parantheses says "Keroro Allstars" and inside the parens it's the list of characters?

        probably

      • warp wouldn't know.
      • 2012-06-16 16813, 2012

      • CatCat omits it.
      • 2012-06-16 16820, 2012

      • CatCat
        it could be added back if necesary
      • 2012-06-16 16818, 2012

      • CatCat
        when it says, "Music, Arrange" then is this person both the composer and the arranger then?
      • 2012-06-16 16839, 2012

      • warp

        imean, ever since dreaded sg5 we have strived to reduce duplication i nthe database
      • 2012-06-16 16850, 2012

      • CatCat
        and yet people find up new ways of making duplicancy and redundancy
      • 2012-06-16 16850, 2012

      • reosarevok can imagine some people would like to have a page that lists all stuff released as a character, even when voice actors change
      • 2012-06-16 16851, 2012

      • CatCat
        hmm
      • 2012-06-16 16858, 2012

      • warp
        I can see some value in tracking the character as a separate artist if it is being voiced by different people on different recordings.
      • 2012-06-16 16808, 2012

      • CatCat
        i mean i could understand that in cases where the "character" had a "live of it's own" so to speak
      • 2012-06-16 16827, 2012

      • CatCat
        i think we said the same thing :P
      • 2012-06-16 16836, 2012

        but in general I would prefer to have these in the database as CatCat just did.

      • reosarevok
        I can't really see a problem with having those artists
      • 2012-06-16 16815, 2012

      • reosarevok
        I mean, we do have performance name artists

      • 2012-06-16 16831, 2012

      • reosarevok
        warp: asking people to use legal name as X for every release is ludicrous
      • 2012-06-16 16843, 2012

      • reosarevok
        And basing the artists on something that's not legal name won't work
      • 2012-06-16 16809, 2012

        Hmm, how useful would you find a sidebar that appears to the side of edit forms and contains relevant documentation?
      • 2012-06-16 16837, 2012

      • jacobbrett
        I'm hoping it would encourage less experienced editors to actually read the docs...
      • 2012-06-16 16837, 2012

      • warp
        jacobbrett: most edit forms have a lot of room for that in the part of the screen where stuff like the artist credit editor opens.

        jacobbrett: would it be sufficient to display context sensitive documentation when you focus a particular input?

        (so, like the artist credit editor something opens, but it doesn't contain any controls -- just information)

        jacobbrett: or would you prefer more static information which applies to the entire form?

        warp: Yeah, I was thinking along those lines...for now it'd be a Greasemonkey script that puts doc pages into an iframe...maybe pre-loading for all relevant fields then switching CSS display on and off when needed.

        I'd think one doc should work for an edit page, ideally.

        I might see how it works out in practice first, then decide what exactly should be displayed.
