Talk:One Piece Party

Following Precedent
Back with the Chopperman spin-off (did that ever get more than one chapter?), it was decided that a spin-off that wasn't drawn by Oda was not worthy of putting on our wiki. Have we changed our minds? I haven't picked a side yet, but I'm all for opening discussion. In any case, we should give both spin-offs the same treatment. 16:31, February 21, 2015 (UTC)

The Loguetown Novel has its own page, surely this should have its own page also.82.42.188.15 16:44, February 21, 2015 (UTC)

Well, IMO since they are spin-off of One Piece, they can stay although it doesn't mean they have to. As long they get just one page each, I'm fine with them. They will be something like Shonen Jump.

Well today, Luffy, as he appears in One Piece Party, was added to his gallery. I suppose that's another conversation entirely. Maybe this should be moved a forum, "Treatment of Spin-Offs" or something to that effect. 17:32, February 21, 2015 (UTC)

This wiki should cover all things One Piece, and this is an official spin-off. It should get full coverage. "Not drawn by Oda" is a bad argument, since the anime, movies, games etc. aren't made by him either. 18:06, February 21, 2015 (UTC)

I can agree with that, but as long we don't start creating chapter pages of that series and also I don't like adding images from that series to canon articles. We should really keep all of that on this page alone.

I disagree, I think chapters pages would be fine. Now that it's being scanlated, people are going to read it and they're going to come to this wiki for info. And we add movie images to canon articles' galleries too, so I don't see anything wrong with that. 18:47, February 21, 2015 (UTC)

But that's another series, it's not One Piece. No poin in making pages other then this. Make a wiki about One Piece Party then.

I'd be OK with chapter pages, but perhaps the best way to make them would be as subpages? Like "One Piece Party/Chapter 1" instead of "One Piece Party Chapter 1" which the latter kinda looks weird to me 22:19, February 21, 2015 (UTC)


 * We don't know how long the spin-off will last, so I'm against having chapters as subpages. 22:23, February 21, 2015 (UTC)

It's a spin-off, Levi. Not an unrelated series. It uses One Piece characters, One Piece setting, One Piece jokes etc. Why make another wiki for it when everything is the same? It's not canon to One Piece, but neither are movies or games.

Regarding the subpage idea, I agree with Jade. The chapters would be best as their own separate pages. The naming is still up in the air, Kaido. We could call them "Chapter 1 (One Piece Party)" or "Party Chapter 1". 22:29, February 21, 2015 (UTC)

We should cover all things One Piece, so pages for this should exist. In terms of chapter pages, I would say no. Let's just merge only short summaries into this page for each of them for now. Depending on how long it goes for, we could subpage/makre separate pages for it later. For now, one page is best.

If we have images of video games appearances (or in the case of the Pirate Warriors series, too many, we should have one per character for these. I do not however think we should have more than one image per character for this series. No need to track costumes for a spinoff. 22:31, February 21, 2015 (UTC)

Subpages are normal pages so you may as well make them on their own. Returning on the original question: then why we didn't do the same for Chopperman? I think for our wiki we need simply to have a page about the series, not all related sub articles. Make another wiki about the spinoff and the we can link it. Here's an example: Rock Lee's Springtime of Youth Full Power Ninja Chronicles on Naruto wiki and the dedicated wiki.

I don't see why we should divide One Piece content into separate wikis. Regarding Chopperman, I don't know anything about the discussion for that or the thought process behind the decision to exclude it. But it might be difficult to do much for it since it's not scanlated. 23:10, February 21, 2015 (UTC)

Also, I'd like to mention that this is a bi-monthly manga, so there'd only be six pages per year if we have separate chapter pages. What harm would they do? 01:11, February 22, 2015 (UTC)
