Stage48 Wiki - Organization & Discussion

Yeah, that's how I meant it! We should still have the full name visible as well!

Also, my uncle married to Thai woman and lives in Asia now; and for a long time, I only knew her by her nickname. It's just more common to call each other by nicknames than legal first names, their nicknames aren't on the same level as other countries'.

 

I also have a question about the Thai infobox, should we leave it as is or an update should be done?

I'm also thinking of doing the same with the members of MNL

NMB48 has just released a video of 9th Gen members saying their catchphrases - unfortunately my listening skills of Japanese are not good enough to transcribe for the Wiki but would somebody like to try?


if the video does not show watch the video here

 

Could you explain what sort of update you've got in mind?

 

I can see why this happened. In Japanese, both "ling" and "lin" would be written as リン, so it can be confusing at times. Anyhow, I made the request changes and also updated the associated pages. Please let me know if anything is still wrong.

 

I don't know about that one. I also noticed it but I refrained from changing it in fear something could go wrong.

 

Looks like files cannot be moved due to following error message:

(also can't remove files placed in [[Category: Delete]], I believe it has something to do with the same permission error that prevents us from uploading files for.. how many years in a row?)

Other files with same misspelling:

Should we still have their full names in Thai at the top of the infobox?

Also, a bit unrelated to the question...
I feel like I'm starting to forget how do you upload pictures on the wiki...though I know that we're just gonna drag the files on the top

 

Hello happy people!

- Some Hinatazaka46 members had their height updated.

- A thing I noticed: AKB48 has Nogizaka46 listed under "Rival Groups" (shouldn't it be singular?^^) on their Wiki page, but Nogizaka46 doesn't have AKB48 listed as Rival Group in return. What do you think about adding it?
- On the member pages, all active members are listed in bold - except Ma Chia-Ling (Link)

That's it (for now) Thank you for your work

 

Please tell me this is some kind of attempt at sarcasm.

 

So...you want their nicknames in all caps?

 

For members whose first name is identical with the nickname, is it really necessary to put "Cherprang (Cherprang Areekul)" or "Cherprang Areekul (Cherprang)" or whatever other version? The name she is most known by is Cherprang, and that is there, just not a second time.

The question was more whether the intro line should be changed to "Cherprang Areekul is a member of..." instead of how it is now, or whether we should change other members' pages to line up with what her page looks like now. I don't think changing the titles/links was really a discussion.

Just so you know, changing the name of a page on the wiki means having a duplicate (redirect) page, which is why we tend to only really make changes if they're absolutely necessary (i.e. entirely wrong spelling).

 

There is absolutely no need nor reason to include a member's given name a second time when it happens to be her nickname.

If we used nicknames as primary, the member's full name could be included afterwards in parenthesis for clarity and potential disambiguation.
If we used full(ish) names as primary (as we do now), nicknames can be included to aid in both searching and recognition as most fans won't be familiar with said full name.
The primacy of the nickname in real life would be an argument for making the nicknames primary if the risk of name collision didn't require including the full names anyway, leaving us where we started just in reverse order. I don't see the effort involved being worthwhile.

Under neither system does "Cherprang Areekul (Cherprang)" or "Cherprang (Cherprang Areekul)" serve a purpose. Parentheticals are optional, they do not need to be tacked on when they add nothing.
