Talk:One Piece Wiki

Introduction
Well, I'm bringing this up in order to help make this Wiki a better place for fans, I will start expanding information on characters and the orginisations. Note: I will use the best known terms, and I abhor the 4Kids dub. (Justyn 09:36, 8 October 2006 (UTC))

A small note from me
I apologise for the layout change on our discussion page here... I'm trying to make everything eaiser to find then how we have it on Wikipedia... Basically, putting all the comments and suggestions togther. So we have 'Current Issues' right now (name changable), and then related stuff as sub headlines in that part... I don't want to avoid the mess we have on wikipedia's main One Piece Page. If you hate this idea, you change change it back. Angel Emfrbl 20:38, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Current Issues
As of right now, I would recommend that we just focus on the articles of the Straw Hat Pirates and the other already existing ones. Creating too many new pages too quickly would make it more difficult that it needs to be to improve the already existing pages.

Tasks needed to be done Sigmasonic X 07:53, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Clean up existing pages to remove uneccessary links and expand the information.
 * Conclude what the differences between the articles here and the Wikipedia One Piece articles should be.
 * Create a consistent format for the pages.

Stuff to be Included
Alright, some suggestions on pages I think would be better suited here than at Wikipedia:


 * List of One Piece bounties
 * List of One Piece animals
 * List of One Piece episodes
 * All pages in the One Piece story arcs category
 * List of One Piece games
 * All pages in the One Piece episodes category
 * List of One Piece music
 * One Piece timeline
 * One Piece anime (English adaptation)
 * One Piece manga (English version)
 * List of One Piece locations
 * The movie pages:
 * One Piece: The Movie
 * Jango's Dance Carnival
 * Clockwork Island Adventure
 * Dream Soccer King!
 * Chopper's Kingdom on the Island of Strange Animals
 * Dead End Adventure
 * Take Aim! The Pirate Baseball King
 * Curse of the Sacred Sword
 * Baron Omatsuri and the Secret Island
 * The Giant Mechanical Soldier of Karakuri Castle

That's all I can think of for now... (This is MurasakiSeiko from Wikipedia, if anyone cares. ^^;;)


 * The games list is safe on wikipedia. Its been checked.  But doesn't matter, you could get away safely with it being here and on wikipedia.  82.34.192.189 14:52, 12 October 2006 (UTC) <Note this reply was made by Angel Emfrbl... Who hasn't signed up to Wikia yet.  Sorry I forgot about that!

Added Pages
I'm currently working on getting the Story Arc pages here. Also, please see here for details on what should be added to this wikia. Sigmasonic X 05:27, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

One comment
I'd just like to say that, no matter how much you want to, it's probably not the best idea to put the attack page link on the One Piece table on Wikipedia. It really looks bad, is unprofessional, and just doesn't need to be there.

However, if you get this wiki really nice and detailed, I'm sure you could link to it from the One Piece article, and people could easily find the attack list, as well as all the other information you could most likely offer better here than on Wikipedia itself.

Layout
Before we get too deep in things... Lets start by redoing all the pages as we upload them here. For exmaple: the character pages - create a 'standard' format we can use for ALL One Piece pages.
 * A introducetion to the character (usually 'about this character'
 * Stats (usually at the side of the page, but I'd like them to be part of the page for some reason... Though I'm not quite sure of it). In this section:
 * Age
 * Birthday
 * Faction
 * Ocupation
 * Dream
 * Voice Actors
 * Japanese/English names
 * Etc these are examples
 * History
 * Etc, you get the idea.

If we do this, it will make life a LOT easier. Angel Emfrbl 20:25, 12 October 2006 (UTC)


 * I just fiured out why I felt we do not need those side panel states... The space is tighter here on Wikia oppose to Wikipedia. Basically, the page looks CRAMPED.  Angel Emfrbl 20:30, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Here's my idea for the format of the character pages. Of course, sections that don't apply to a character don't have to be included. I think this format should be followed by all characters, even minor ones, though in the case of characters with little information, the sections shouldn't, well, be in seperate sections. They should still be in order, however. This should also be applied to the Wikipedia pages. However, the Wikipedia pages should not include "Major Battles" and some of the "Statistics"Sigmasonic X 07:56, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Introduction
 * Ex: Monkey D. Luffy is captain of the Straw Hat Pirates and is the main protagonist of the series.
 * Statistics, like Emfrbl's above. Some other possible information could be "First Appearence", "Most Recent Appearence", "Friends", "Enemies", etc.
 * Personality
 * Abilities and Powers, includes "Forms" and general themes of attacks.
 * Ex: Zoro's attacks tend to gain in power depending on the number of swords used, and they all contain puns.
 * History, only talks about events that take place before the main timeline of the series--in other words, before Luffy became a pirate.
 * Present Story (tenative title), talks about what the characters did in the actual present story. For example, while Zoro's vow to Kuina would be included in "History", his fight with Mihawk would be placed here.
 * Current Events, events in recent chapters involving the character that aren't important enough for "Present Story".
 * Major Battles
 * Trivia
 * Related Articles
 * References
 * External Sites, character fansites and the like.
 * Ex: Sigmasonic X is an editor at Wikipedia and a regular poster on several message boards. He was born in the 80s, is a nerd, and can fire energy blasts. When he was a child, he was killed by the moon but was reserrected as a robot. In episode 69 he had sex with a hippo, changing his life forever, and in the recent Ch. 426589 he fought Pedo Bear and lost. Some major foes he fought include, in order, Lord Endionex (ch. 2456) and Pedo Bear (ch. 426589). He once appeared in a videogame called "Dragon Wii vs. The Grand Man in a Pan".

Also, here's what I think we should do with attacks. First, split the attacks into these pages: Basically, break the already existing sections into their own pages. Also, every character with named attacks will be included, not just with 5+. The reason for splitting the page apart lies in the new attack format. For each attack: Sigmasonic X 07:56, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Individual Pages for each Straw Hat
 * Straw Hat Allies
 * East Blue Pirates
 * Grand Line Pirates and Others
 * Navy
 * Baroque Works
 * Cipher Pol
 * Rokushiki (it already has its own page)
 * Literal English Name Translation
 * Japanese Name followed by Kanji, followed by Japanese Anime Name if different
 * English Manga Name
 * English Anime Name
 * First Use
 * Most Recent Use
 * Description, noting any variations used
 * Ex: Gomu Gomu no Pistol has been used both with Luffy stretching his arm behind him first and without.
 * Analysis, analyzes attack and shows how attack viewed
 * Ex: Despite only being used once in canon and failing that one time, Ten-Thousand Worlds (forgot Japanese name, which would be used in this case) is considered one of Zoro's most powerful attacks and is often portrayed as such in One Piece videogames.

Feel free to edit it, or veto some section


 * I just like to say this is a great effort so far guys! I'll try and help this week with my spare time, however next weekend I'll be busy.  There is a lot here though, I might add, and not everyone will be easily able to edit these pages... We'll have to see how it goes.


 * Wikipedia is getting on my nerves right now... All major edits to a page, new pages etc... They get slammed by someone for one reason or another (sometimes I swear there is no way to make a page truly encyclpedic without someone cribbing on it!). At least we have the freedom here to edit as we please!  :D  Angel Emfrbl 19:22, 15 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Should we have a directory that lists all the One Piece Pictures? I know several Wikipedia pages (I swear people pick on anime pages on purpose on wikipedia!) that have it and no one complains.  Angel Emfrbl 20:10, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
