This is a Guide to help people determine if a ACG Universe/World should be placed on the Top-level wiki, or if it's large enough that it would fit in with it's own Wikia wiki.
[edit] General things to consider
- Episode count and Anime count (Are there around 100 or more, or it it just around 50 or less? Is there only one series, or have there been a fair amount of sequels? How many episodes are their altogether.) (Manga chapters/volumes have not been analyzed yet)
- Other than Anime and Manga, is there a great deal of other media such as video games (to the point that Wikipedia can't cover it all)?
- Is there a large quantity of some unique aspect to the universe, such as Naruto's many Jutsu, or Bleach's different ZanpakutÅ?
[edit] An outline of the reasons for those points
- Wikia ACG documents on every aspect of a Universe and this means that every episode has it's own episode article, and every Chapter it's own chapter article. If there are around 100 or more episodes for an Anime or it has a number of sequels which bring up a large number of episodes (in those cases it would be more like over 300 episodes for a 3 series anime) then the Animepedia alone might have issues organizing all the anime pages with just it's subpage tactics.
- The Animepedia portion of the project only documents on the Anime. It relies on other wiki in and out of the project to document on the other portions. So while Manga is a different case, if there is a great deal of stuff to Video Games related to the series, then perhaps the series needs a Wikia wiki so that that can be documented on to. But if the games are small enough that Wikipedia can handle it, then another Wikia isn't entirely needed.
- Again, Wikia ACG documents on every aspect of the universe, this means that if there are large quantities of unique items in the series such as Weaponry or Skills, such as Jutsu in Naruto, or ZanpakutÅ in Bleach then Wikia ACG will want to give each and every one of these their own article. But if there are piles of different ones of them, then like in the first point, the Top-level wiki's subpage method might not be able to handle them and the series might benefit from it's own wiki.
