fanlisting
Should there be some information on Fanlistings?

Maybe. Fanlistings, as stated by TFL, do not have to contain extra content besides the general rules, members, join form, etc. Thus, fanlistings are not exactly fansites in the usual definition. I might add something to it though.--Haley 21:15, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Suggestions For Clean Up
One of the...No THE one thing that bugs me the most is probably the "typical navigation" section, which I find entirely pointless.

Perhaps that merging the few paragraphs about typical content could also be good, along with some rewording/clarification. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Puceron (talk • contribs) 01:53, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Fansites! (warning: opinion, pining and original research)
For me, fansites define my early experience with the WWW, especially those with really poorly designed layouts, usually made by teenagers (like myself, back in the day). It's a shame I don't frequent them any more. I'm sure contemporary fansites are still all over the internet, as well as remnants of abandoned websites (with those lovely and awful late-90s/early-00s web designs) and GeoCities (R.I.P.) mirrors. And let's not forget fanlistings! I'm sure I'm not the only person who remembers fanlistings as being nothing more than vanity websites for two groups: 1) for amateur web designers who've just discovered CSS and Adobe Photoshop to flex their new-found web 1.5 skills, and 2) for people to add their contrived web handle to frivolous website listings in order to feel like they are a part of this new cultural phenomenon. I miss those days. - 220.245.253.81 (talk) 13:47, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

Interesting, but the talk pages usually are associated with trying to improve the article. 67.160.117.123 (talk) 22:59, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

Fan Site Kits
Regarding Fan Site Kits, since it goes hand in hand with the Fan Site topic, should we add that too? I can't find any good information that defines Fan Site Kits and what it offers/mainly supply. I think it'd be a good idea to add in; for those who really knows what's it about.

 * Hi, I've included below my contribution about Fan Site Kits but do not know which section of the article to include them in.
 * Admins, please feel free to update the main article where you feel is appropriate:


 * Fan Site Kits may sometimes be provided by official game and/or anime companies from their websites, with the latter rarely. Most would state their own policy of use of the copyrighted materials provided with the compliance within the set guidelines and permissions. New content may also be added periodically. Some companies may even welcome suggestions for expanding the kits' content.
 * The kits are usually available in the format of WinZip files, where the media can be extracted for use.
 * The materials provided would usually range from trademarks and logos to product images and artwork, for example, concept art, box-art, screenshots and avatars, to name a few.

Remove or improve the History section
It's just a paragraph about their decline which already appears in the lead section of the article Sanack2008 (talk) 15:45, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
