Forum:Entertainment calender

Right, this seems to be a new feature of the wiki. In my opinion it doesn't add anything of value to us, but takes away space on the page. It is nothing major, but I don't see a reason to keep it. I'm actually not sure if we are allowed to remove it (or if it is even possible), that's why I will contact main wiki and ask about it.

But before I do that I would like to gather opinions on the matter, maybe I'am the only one who doesn't like it?

I don't like the entertainment calendar and want it removed.

I would like it, if it regards manga and anime events.

I like the entertainment calender and I want it to stay.

I don't care.

Wikia doesn't care anyway what you guys think.

Are we sure it CAN be removed? I looked for an announcement about this but wasn't able to find one. Also this just seems to be affecting "entertainment wikias" such as ourselves, the simpsons one and bleach, but not smaller wikias or other wikias. 19:10, January 18, 2012 (UTC)

As I said, I don't know yet. But before I go and request stuff I would like to get a reasonable amount of feedback first. 19:13, January 18, 2012 (UTC)


 * If only it was about the wikias main subject... It just seems so "unrelated" to us. -_- One-Winged Hawk 19:18, January 18, 2012 (UTC)

The calendar cannot be removed, there were already complaints about this, since it's heavy American-centered and tv-movies based. It's still a beta feature so I hope will be improved, if they will organize better the theme (with manga/anime events in our case) it can become a valuable feature. If you want to find more, well... maybe not so "more", go here and here. I repeat again, this is not a feature that the admins can turn on or off, it's a Wikia-wide feature. I know this mandatory features sucks a lot, they make you wonder what can you really choose to do on your wiki.

If the calendar can be customised then its great! if not well oh well.

It's managed by Wikia staff, so you cannot directly edit it.

We can't do anything, c'mon. Its from the wikia. It looks bad but what can you do...

I just saw a comment of Dopp here saying:

"Hi All,

Regarding the Entertainment Calendar -- we just got the word that it's okay for us to disable it on request for the time being, while they work on ways to make the feature better. If you'd like it disabled, please give us the URL to your wiki, and we'll take care of it (or contact us at Special:Contact."

I guess all we have to do is reply to that comment linking One Piece Wiki to disable it since she already disabled it for the Kuroshitsuji wiki.
