Stage48 Wiki - Organization & Discussion

Can someone either fix or remove position changes on http://stage48.net/wiki/index.php/AKB48_45th_Single_Senbatsu_Sousenkyo_〜Bokutachi_wa_Dare_ni_Tsuiteikeba_ii?〜 ? They are not even misleading, this is an eyebrow-raising circus...

Edit: OK, sorry, I think I have finally caught the idea that these are position changes, not positions in previous election, as I have assumed, but wouldn't that be good to mention in a visible place the meaning of the part in brackets? Got me working for a while, dunno if I'm just too tired to think...

 

@kk127 fixed Tsuttsun's page

 

Added heights on some STU members. More to come soon.

 

Hi everyone! I just made a post about the possibility of the Wiki getting separated from Stage48 here. I know I'm just a distant lurker right now, but even from far away I'm still concerned about the whole situation and I will do what's possible to help. Migrating means depending on our own money and our technical-savviness, so...yeah, needs to think a lot about and demands effort. By now, I think making a backup of the Wiki48 is essential (like it has been pointed out by @rka, @Puni and @goratnik). Anyone has data from what is already backed up? Anyway, sorry for popping up from nowhere. And thank you everyone, so glad the Wiki is still up for good

 

I moved Ino Miyabi to Iino Miyabi, according the name in the AKB48 website.

 

I think the wiki shouldn't use the long vowels as it's confusing to people who don't speak Japanese.

For example Mutou Tomu v Muto Tomu. If someone sees the first they're likely to try and pronounce the 'u' at the end to make it like 'mu-to-u' instead of 'mu-to'.

The alternative would be to have the letters with the hyphen over like 'ō' though for me it's not really necessary.

 

@OshimaYuko the best way would be to strictly follow Hepburn, as it is the romanization supposed to be used by foreigners (we don't have Japanese passports or anything) - in the version that could actually be written by anyone, that is, limited to latin alphabet, as it is allowed (I honestly have no idea what the code for "ō" is or how is it called in the Unicode table).

So if the reading is むとう とむ, then romanization should be Mutou Tomu.

 

I agree somewhat, but I still think it would be confusing to people who don't speak Japanese. It also brings up the question of where you should stop, Hepburn has Tokyo/とうきょう as "Tōkyō" which would be romanised in normal letters as Toukyou, but for me that is difficult to read at first as my mind automatically goes for the English pronunciation to begin with.

A good compromise I think would be to have a little part next to the opening line with the "ō" type stuff and then maybe the kana as well. Similar to how it is done on the normal wikipedia, here is an example for someone else called Muto.

Sort of like

"Muto Tomu (武藤十夢[むとう とむ] Mutō Tomu) is a member of AKB48's Team K."

But a bit more polished.

 

Learn or die.

Seriously. What is the point in pronouncing, if you don't know, how to do this? Wiki should be always correct, not serve confusion stemming from ignorance.

@sscrla A letter with French president, OK, got it

 

I agree with you somewhat but still think it will be difficult for new people. Either way the same standard should be held to all of the pages.

But I feel we're just going in circles so I'll stop here lol.

 

My problem with writing names wrong for the sake of the "newbies" is that at the end everyone get the names wrong instead of just a few people. One example that bothers me:
http://stage48.net/wiki/index.php/Mogi_Kasumi http://stage48.net/wiki/index.php/Mogi_Shinobu
Different kanji and apparently different sound but someone that looks at the wiki could end up thinking that both of them have the same name (as i did sometime ago).

 

Uhm, hi, first post in here, uhm, is there any chance to update the BNK girls with their new images? Or are we waiting for the official site to upload them? Each of their Facebook pages recently updated, and there are plenty of group shots for them.

 

Can anyone add CKG48 to the sidebar?

 

I updated the setlists/pages for the following:

• NMB48 Request Hour Setlist Best 235 2016
• NMB48 Concert 2016 Summer ~Itsu Made Yamamoto Sayaka ni Tayoru no ka?~

and created the pages for the following:

• NMB48 Kenkyuusei "Todokanasou de Todoku Mono" Stage
  
• NMB48 5th Anniversary Live Concert (this was a really fun concert and I totally recommend watching this if you have time).

Do let me know if anyone spots any errors so I can correct them (Or you can correct them yourself if you can lol)

I also plan to update the setlists/pages for the NMB48 6th Anniversary Live and for Watanabe Miyuki's Graduation Concert over the next week or so, so if by chance anyone is actually planning to update them already, do let me know.

 

@Tenada: I'm wondering why is there this inconsistency:

Also about trivia: they did not perform regularly after the shuffle being applied, but they were subbing in performances afterwards. Example: Ayaka subbed for Mion on 170404; I don't know about other cases, missing quite a few performances. Might have been just this one, so in this case it should be explicitly mentioned.
