List of Clannad characters
I don't suppose anyone will clean this up? It's been tagged since 2008. Some guy (talk) 04:00, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

Protocol for in-article lists, such as voice roles for seiyū
I noticed while browsing several seiyū pages (example: Rina Satō) that many of them have different formatting in the section frequently titled Notable Voice Roles. Is there a standard for these lists? I'm particularly interested in the the headings used for different types of media (Anime/Video Games/Dubbing) and years, as well as how to list the appropriate character name along with the series title. Basically I just want to make sure I'm not accidentally making a mess someone else has to clean up later when I add things... --Entoaggie09 (talk) 04:02, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
 * As long as there isn't trivia and the headings are out-of-universe, it shouldn't be a problem. Try what works. DragonZero  ( Talk  ·  Contribs ) 09:30, 3 December 2013 (UTC)


 * WP:FILMOGRAPHY has some recommendations. It's mainly that the works are arranged chronologically or alphabetically (the latter for movie dubbing where year doesn't matter) in order to meet WP:WORKS Tables are suggested if there are a lot of roles that need to be organized. As for the specific questions, MOS:SECTIONCAPS says to write the header in sentence style so write "Video games" instead of "Video Games". And I would go by WP:COMMONNAME for titled works and character names, e.g. "Heaven's Lost Property – Tomoki Sakurai" instead of "Sora no Otoshimono – Sakurai Tomoki". But where there's a notable Japanese common name, you can retain that. e.g.: "Yu-Gi-Oh! GX – Asuka Tenjouin" instead of "Yu-Gi-Oh! GX – Alexis Rhodes". Sometimes the season is listed with a Japanese common name as with "Zero no Tsukaima: Princesse no Rondo  – Tiffania Westwood", but I agree it's whatever would least confuse.
 * On Japanese voice actors, it's optional whether you want to separate Anime TV series and specials from OVA. On English voice actors, I don't separate those categories as they are all produced in the same manner, and I treat most film dubs as direct-to-videos unless the dub had a significant theater premiere.

Wikipedia:WikiProject Anime and manga/Cleanup task force → WikiProject Anime and manga/Cleanup – prompted by previous discussion at WT:ANIME

I think this change should be undertaken for consistency with the other subpages of the WikiProject, which are similarly truncated for simplicity (there are more examples in the project navbox): • /Assessment (department)

• /Bleach (task force)

• /Biography (work group)

I understand that project page titles should be reflective of what happens there, but I think that "Cleanup" is sufficiently descriptive -- an unmodified "Cleanup" is already used in our WikiProject Anime and manga/Tab header. It can be argued that "Cleanup" is too broad of a name, but I think that page serves equally to store general guidelines about cleanup (#Cleanup guidelines) as it does to coordinate task force activity. I don't think that my proposed change will confuse anyone, and perhaps it will even make people who visit the page more inclined to read the guidelines and take a look at the categories/open tasks (in my opinion, with a project page name like "task force", users will be inclined to think "this is strictly for the participants here to read, not for me"). — Goszei (talk) 10:45, 6 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Support, mainly for the aforementioned consistency with the other subpages; I will also agree that there is a probability of some amount of users being turned away by titling such as "task force." Sarcataclysmal (talk) 03:26, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

post move cleanup
I closed the discussion above, and moved WikiProject Anime and manga/Cleanup task force → WikiProject Anime and manga/Cleanup. Even though I think I performed the "post move cleanup" completely, there are chances that I missed something. Kindly let me know if you come across something, and I will be glad to sort it out.
