Talk:Omakes

Too long
I think we should start thinking about breaking this page into its 7 ingredients. Either that or we create separate pages for the bigger segments with only a short description and main article links in this page. When I say bigger segments I mean the Arrancar Encyclopedia, Kon-sama's Ultimate Shinigami Illustrated Guide and mostly the Shinigami Illustrated Picture Book.

Did you do the show-hide tags WD ? That was a good idea. I approve and I think that's one way of keeping this big page. Let's not forget that the pages were separate before and the result was a distinct lack of maintenance. This big page, if nothing else, is relatively well maintained and never goes out of date by more then a couple of weeks. That being said, the wiki has changed since the big page came into being. We have a Omake nav and those nav do good job of drawing attention to "off-the beaten track" pages - which the omakes largely are. So I think the show-hide tags are good fixes and I am not entirely in favour of breaking the pages-up again as I can't be sure they won't be neglected. But the wiki has changed since then so...

I see your point, but who's to say a no longer active omake segment doesn't warrant a less-frequently-maintained page? Kinda like an episode from 6 years ago. It's not like the "off the beaten track" segments get much attention anyway these days, it's mostly the active segments that get attention. Like you said, with the omake nav tag even the forgotten heroes of yore will get at least some attention. WD  Converse  23:05, January 21, 2011 (UTC)

Well as I said, I am not against breaking the page up again and so I thought about what we could do with the page broken-up that we can't do with the page together. Since I love infoboxes, I obviously though of a infobox and so decided to implement what I was thinking of in Arrancar Encyclopedia page. I haven't removed anything from the Omake Page because at this stage we are still just talking. But looking at the Arrancar Encyclopedia, it is quite substantial and most of the omakes, save for maybe the Quincy Encyclopedia, will be substantial enough to not look like a stub. We can also add trivia sections and the likes should there be a need for such. Anyway, let's leave this up for a bit and see what kind of feedback we get. We'll then decide what to do.

 * I agree that this page has grown quite long and detailed, perhaps too long for just one article. The show hide tags was a good idea, but there is sense in splitting the article up once again. There are links to each in the navbox already. The Arrancar Encyclopedia demo page looks good. No qualms with it having its own article. I'd like for more people to comment on this to see if anyone has any potential problems, but I have no objections to splitting it. 12:03, January 22, 2011 (UTC)
