Thanks for taking the time. Your first sentence did it for me though.grin One thing I couldn't clearly make out. Do you prefer Anime films under Films-Animation or Anime & Manga. And what would you say is the overall consensus on it?

Namespaces vs. media categories are a mess, but messing around with them at this point would only add confusion.

[up][up]Anime films should be under Anime/Manga as so much Anime films are based on Anime/Manga serializations. The same tropes apply across all those mediums and splitting them up at this point would create more confusion then less.

[up] Exactly, I mean why muddle up the difference between Aikatsu the anime series and Aikatsu the Movie, Ghost In The Shell's Manga, Anime series, Movies, OA Vs (all of which have separate pages) or the 15+ Dragonball movies with the manga or anime.

Especially since OAVs and Movies are just the exact same thing to the west and an anime series just means more there are credits every 24 minutes heck there are even OAV series like Kiss X Sis, Hellsing Ultimate or Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn.

Then that's settled. We leave the mess until TV-Tropes 2.0 comes to wash away all the sorrows of the past.

Until then I will categorize Anime movies under Anime.

And I will continue to change examples to correct the Example Indentation, emphasis, Media Categories and Name Space, based on current written policy.
