Then how about I make the list first (when I have time), then you can check with js06 yourself?

If that's what it takes to make you feel better, then its not too much of a hassle.

Though we can talk about this later. I don't want this conversation to hijack a legitimate topic.

Very well then. But I don't think summoning js06 would be easy. @_@

You'd be surprised. He's surprisingly easy to reach. As long as you don't bother him with tedious and time consuming tasks (this doesn't count) he shouldn't have a problem.

Back on the Navigation topic: I think one of the short to mid term goals of the wiki should be to remove links to category pages like this. It is directly linked to by clicking Manga on the top Navigation bar. But the page is annoyingly difficult to navigate through. Its not the only one either; there's about 7 on the top navbar alone...

I certainly agree that some of the summaries need cleaning up so that they are less flowery and literary. I also think it might be an idea to try and figure out what would be a suitable summary size per event, as some summaries seem to have too much written for too little occurring(see below).

I also think it would be an idea to discuss standard reference set-ups in order to find a good set-up with a good balance between easiness to use, information conveyed and size taken up.

Size is not really important; the focus lies on making sure that the synopsis "doesn't elaborate too much" and is unbiased (i.e., no words of sympathy towards a character).

Upon thinking about references, the best way is to use templates. However, how will we set that up?

Sorry about that - 'not too much elaboration' is what I had in mind but didn't say properly.

Regarding the references, I suppose we could have a look around various places and run some experiments in the sandbox, then decide on the best option.

By the way, what are people's stances regarding near-direct copying and pasting bits from the books to the summaries without much rewording? (I try to avoid doing this by writing my summaries from scratch but I was wondering if others considered it as much of a problem)

It's a pain at the very least, since you now have to trim down the wall of text to size. I've seen those contributions over at the articles relevant to the Magic God Othinus arc. I can't deal with those yet until I've finished doing the synopses for the light novel chapters.

Which pages? From what I see, the chapter pages barely have any synopsis, the episode pages appear as they were originally intended with a full description and images of those descriptions. The LN synopsis' seem quite short, but if some of them are direct copies they should be changed.

The episode and chapter articles appear to still have the same standard layout that I originally started them all with.

I would have no objection to that, but then what to do with terms belonging to neither sides? Like miracles, Imagine Breaker, the Kamijou Faction, Cult of Science, Ninjas, etc? And should we include military equipments/factions as well in the Science Side? I mean, we could for Hard Science derived technology, but things like Trident, it doesn't really do.

And there are those I have been wondering about for a while, the grey zones:

• Phases: I would normally argue that they belong to the Magic Side terminologies, but then you have the Imaginary Number District, the Artificial Heaven, and probably the Pure World of science seeminly being Phases as well, despite being scientific in composition.

• Aiwass: again, it would look like it belongs to magic due to being invoked when Aleister was still a Magician and its relation to a grimoire and a magic cabal, yet still served as the prototype/blueprint/goal for artificial angels and Kazakiri.

• Aleister: a Magician who switched sides and is now the leader of the largest Science Side faction, yet still uses magic to some extent (Blasting Rod, Beast666), and science side technology at the same time (UNDER_LINE, Windowless Building, Reading Thoth 78).

Or maybe I'm just overthinking it?

I vote for the character infobox template to include a magic(s) parameter, as so it can be separate from the ability name and power level parameters.
