Talk:List of yaoi anime and manga

Separating subjects
While the page is called "List of yaoi anime and manga", almost every example listed (at least in regards to original work, discounting possible adaptations that already exist) is a manga, and there's not a single anime. Then there's 1 light novel, 3 novels, and 5 video games. One could make the case that novels and light novels fall into the "manga" category, but the same definitely can't apply to video games. Thus, despite the title, we have 5 games and 0 anime. Given this, the page could be renamed to "List of yaoi works", but regardless of whether that happens or not, I'd suggest moving all the manga into their own section.

This would be especially useful in making sure the table includes as much information on each title as possible. The table could be changed and become more similar to how the manga of Clamp are listed at their own page: include the start and end dates of each, the publisher and magazine it was published in, as well as how many volumes it had.

One issue with this is how adaptations would work. In the case of Given, for example, would the anime and upcoming movie be listed as separate projects and in separate sections? One under an "Anime" section, and one under a "Film" section? PanagiotisZois (talk) 19:05, 11 June 2020 (UTC)


 * My sense is that simple is best for these sort of incredibly broad lists. If you want to reorganize this page that is your prerogative, but per your last point, I feel like you'll run into more of these sort of exceptions the more detailed you try and make it.

 * Probably. This is a dynamic list after all that can changed at any moment. I guess a way to keep this whole process and reorganization simple is to just focus on the examples listed here, and once that is done, then start adding new examples. PanagiotisZois (talk) 19:21, 11 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Maybe add an additional column to the chart(s) that notes any notable adaptations of the material? Morgan695 (talk) 21:05, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

Other media
For the other media section, the creators sometimes differ from the people in charge of the manga/anime adaptation. For example, Shinobu Gotoh is the original creator of Takumi-kun, but Kazumi Ohya and Billy Takahashi illustrated the manga adaptation. Which name should it be listed under, and should we include a new column for the adaptation?

Furthermore, should we list the year of the original creation or the years the manga/adaptation were produced? lullabying (talk) 21:12, 28 July 2020 (UTC)


 * I think it's fine to list multiple creators, but it might be opening a can of worms to list years in cases where a work has multiple adaptations. Morgan695 (talk) 00:16, 29 July 2020 (UTC)


 * I guess we shouldn't for now and just go with the original year of the source material. Most of them already have their individual articles anyway where any release dates or authors involved in whichever adaptations are included. lullabying (talk) 08:13, 7 August 2020 (UTC)
