Forum:Merchandise Section Revamp

.*blows the cobwebs away* Right, so I think it's about time someone addressed this. Our merchandise section One Piece Merchandise is a mess. It's incomplete and unorganized in terms of content. A fresh coat of paint would be nice especially. Also, there's no clear cut procedure when adding certain merchandise such as figures. For example there is official merchandise for Film Gold found here http://tinyurl.com/j3eq885 ,yet no standard way to add them. Should we create their own page for them? Some people have suggested personal infoboxes for them as well. If you take the time to visit the Merchandise FAQ you will find this message on the page "Sorry for the mess, this section needs to be cleaned up due to some parts being irrelevant or wrong" That's a sign that we need to make a serious change. We're an encyclopedia and people might come here to actually look certain merchandise up. Perhaps we could make a merchandise team to add to our existing wiki crews. Surely, we have people on this site who are experts when it comes to this. So leave your thoughts on the matter below Roranoa Drake II (talk) 18:58, July 15, 2016 (UTC)

That page has been a mess for years and nobody has seemed to care enough to sort it. Some of the actually merchandise pages themselves aren't to great either. 19:23, July 16, 2016 (UTC)

Not sure if that many people care about the merch, to be honest. Since most of it is Japan-only anyway. Making a crew would be useless since the crews always die. 19:28, July 16, 2016 (UTC)

I don't know much about merch. I don't know how much there is, what types, etc. But I would assume that reason clearer guidelines aren't out there is because the types of merch are just too varied for one clear format. I think it would be possible to maybe get something more official out there.

Honestly, I'm willing to basically let whoever wants to organize these pages do whatever they want to reach that goal. I don't think any kind of major decisions need to be made by a group of people for this. It's just so disorganized that the act of organizing it is just basic editing in my eyes. Drake, were you thinking you needed input, or approval from this forum? 21:22, July 17, 2016 (UTC)
