I have a couple of question on doing wikis with some clarification needed?

1. For doing a wiki page for something that is marketed as a photonovel, do I categorize it under Visual Novel?

2. Thinking of making a wiki page based on Macross Ace Frontier. The thing is the sequel are called Macross: Ultimate Frontier and Macross: Triangle Frontier. I'm stumped on how do I resolve this in terms of naming the article. They don't have much differences except further expansion in their story modes and extra stuff.

  1. My first instinct is VideoGame, but that's only because I am not intimately familiar with the work.
  2. If these sequels are so similar to the original that all should be troped on the same page, go with the title of the original work.

Just a bit of FYI regarding photonovels since AFAIK big franchises like the Gundam and Macross franchises do this in Japan.

Tell us what the name of the photonovel, and we'll see whether it's a video game, although I'd be more likely to go with Visual Novel with something like that.

Make the page for Macross Ace Frontier, and make Macross Ultimate Frontier and Macross Triangle Frontier redirects to it.

This particular photo novel from Dengeki Hobby is from the Macross franchise. The official title is "Macross: The Ride".

It uses the photo novel concept (which in this case, is done by using models photographed to tell the story), but some sites say that it's a light novel.

The main site is here.


Not sure if you see what the novel cover looks like.


For a comparison, this is an example of marketed Gundam photo novel.
