Some of these 'resource-type' questions. Like "Where can I watch anime? (restricted to legal sites)", and "Where can I find a list of current anime series/past seasons?" are probably best served with a single, massive FAQ entry. A bit like what we did over on JLU for learning resources.
Here at JLU, we have been seeing a constant stream of "Do you know any books/programs/websites that would help me learn XYZ in Japanese?", even though we (and the stack exchange network in general), are specifically not setup to handle those questions well. Inspired by Chinese Language and Usage'...
@jkerian Normally, I wouldn't care how many drives my collection was distributed on, but I travel too much. I kinda want to consolidate as much as possible.
I mean, understand the hardware limitation in it. But the fact that the it's been more than 3 years now, and the enclosures still have trouble taking them.
so I'm trying to figure out how to rename it but... I can't seem to find it which leads me to believe that maybe I need to ask someone with more power?
@jkerian its minor but having standard tags when the site expands will benefit the site, as I dont really want synonyms when all it takes is removing a dash
Ah that reminds me. How should we deal with titles with really long names... like "Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai" (My Little Sister Can't be this Cute) or "Oniichan no Koto Nanka Zenzen Suki Janain Dakara ne" (I Don't Like You at All, Big Brother!)
I think in general, you probably only want a tag for the "overarching" storyline... which, of course, gets complicated by series like Gundam (where 0080 and Seed have basically nothing in common)
@Alenanno concerning the animes with different adaptations, I think core tags should be used, because many animes have 5 or more different variations, then the OP can specify which one they are referring to, thoughts?
@atlantiza That's might be fine but if we want to be consistant with this meta what should we do with my second example: "Oniichan no Koto Nanka Zenzen Suki Janain Dakara ne" (I Don't Like You at All, Big Brother!)
But @MadaraUchiha insists that the first FMA anime have a tag other than "fullmetal-alchemist" or "fma" since it does not follow the manga nearly as much as brotherhood, correct?
my worries is when do we only use core tags and when does a series continuation credit a new tag? does Code Geass or Gintama get core tags or new tags, guidelines will be helpful
I must admit that I'm not happy with the meta-tags 'manga' and 'anime'... I'd be much happier if, for example this question was badgered with "anime or manga?" in the comments until they changed the title
one other strike against the manga tag is the whole SEO thing... the included tag depends on popularity (apparently). [manga] and [anime] are going to be far more popular than hikaru-no-go
But the anime title is the one you want to snag google hits with
