User talk:Nnd8793

Hey there! This is the first time I've ever used the talk page here before.

After almost a year working on the wiki and on the forums, I can think of at least two problems off the top of my head that should be fixed as soon as possible (within reason):

1. Our medley navigation box needs an extreme rehaul.

Currently, the MedleyNavBox is painfully out of date; however, we can't just add every single medley that's currently on the main page into the box as is - it would be far too large, and nearly impossible to locate a certain medley without using computer shortcuts. I know from researching that Seritaniji tried to group the medleys similarly to the main page back in 2010 or so, but it was crazy-looking then, and will be even more insane now that there's so many medleys.

So, I'm thinking that we should try to group the medleys in a different way. My idea is that we construct a main navigation box for arrangers themselves, and then have multiple medley navigation boxes on each medley for different situations. In other words, lots of categorization.

For example, if we were looking at Konton Jiyuusou, we could have two navigation boxes: one for the arrangers, and one for listing only medleys done by FLAG. Another good example would be The Medley of Kirby SSDX, where multiple navigation boxes could be used: one for the arrangers, one for medleys by hapi, a third box for Kirby-oriented medleys (maybe not songs, though - that would be too much work!) and possibly a fourth box since it's technically a theme medley.

2. We just need more people doing useful stuff!

Correct me if I'm wrong on this, but I'm fairly certain that xXtouhoumarioXx and I are the only ones who are actually contributing anything to the wiki these days, no offense. There is still so much more work to do just in terms of creating and editing medley pages, never mind figuring out lyrics for medleys, song pages and all this other categorizing stuff I've mentioned. We need more help!

Now that I've said all that, what do you guys think? Nnd8793 19:35, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

Well, we've got a bunch of NavBoxes for individual arrangers now - maybe now's a good time to try integrating them into the pages!

Here's what I think the new MedleyNavBox could look like:

Search for Medleys...
By Composer	Shimo • Onitan • 8:51:22 pm • Noma • Mahi • M.Iz • FLAG • etc.
By Year	2007 • 2008 • 2009 • 2010 • 2011 • 2012 • 2013 • 2014

All the entries here would lead to different categories, as shown with some of the links that I've already created.

This box would be used in tandem with the NavBoxes for particular arrangers/years that have been created so far.

We could also include particular themes for people who are specifically looking for Touhou or Kirby medleys, for example. What do you think?

I think the NavBox looks pretty good! But the thing is, how would we fit the collaboration medleys in there? Do they get their own NavBox or their own category?
