Alright then.

Speaking of which, I've made such lists before in sandbox thread posts but the numbers may be outdated and I'm not inclined to update them, but the latter link is more recent, if anyone wants to use mine as reference.

It's 9785 lines long. The entire wiki currently has 13397 links to pages in the Lightnovel/ namespace, so of the 9785 pages that link to the namespace, 3612 of them do so more than once.

I genuinely don't get the benefit of linking to every single page in the namespace and manually copying the number of wicks from the Related... page, and then having to manually check every single one after each sweep to keep them up to date. Sandbox.Light Novel is a simple list of pages that link to the namespace which can be updated easily by simply deleting a line after doing a search and replace.

EDIT: Found a concrete example. AdaptationalBadass.Fanworks A Through M links to both A Certain Magical Index and The Familiar Of Zero. If the page listed works in the namespace, someone who goes through those that link to ACMI would then need to manually note every change of namespace done on that page and edit the sections for both ACMI and TFOZ'', which is more and tedious work. The current page allows us to do a simply copy and paste and just delete the pages we edit from the list, which is easier and more straightforward.

Still going through the too-long redirects...

Do we have a page for LightNovel.Onna Dakara To Party Wo Tsuihou Sareta Node Densetsu No Majo To Saikyou Tag Wo?

A.k.a https://myanimelist.net/manga/120621/Onna_dakara_to_Party_wo_Tsuihou_sareta_node_Densetsu_no_Majo_to_Saikyou_Tag_wo_Kumimashita

Edit. Oh, mentioned as Literature.Sexiled only at the end.

Was never made into a proper page?

Re: Marchen Madchen: The conventional spelling seems to be with the umlauts—that's how it's spelled on the Japanese DVD cover—but yeah, Crunchyroll spells it "ae", possibly for tech reasons.

"ae" it is then, at least on the wikiword side of things.

So, now the too-long ghost redirects are all cut. We're cleaning out the redirects and cut / moving them to Literature now?

Yup.

Well, there's now 50 left once all the cuts have been processed, with only ~10 of them having less than 100 wicks left.

My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU is weird, since that's the name of the anime, but the Light Novel is My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong As I Expected.

Pretty sure it's sorted correctly right now: IIRC the rule is title in original medium trumps title in adaptations.

All right, does anybody who's read the web novel feel up to making Literature.Overlord 2010? I went through all the pages and pulled these mentions:

• Money Dumb: Arche's parents are disgraced nobles who either have no idea of their no-longer-rich status or are desperately shielding themselves from it, spending enormous amounts of money on Conspicuous Consumption despite the fact that their daughter is the only thing keeping them fed. The reason she became a Worker (adventurers who take on illegal but higher-paying jobs) is to get enough money to take her two younger sisters away from her irresponsible parents. In the light novel, Arche is dismembered and her sisters are sold into slavery by their parents and eventually die from overwork; in the web novel, Arche is still alive, albeit kept as a Sex Slave by Shalltear, but is reunited with her sisters. Her parents face no onscreen repercussions.
• Your Soul Is Mine!: In the Web Novel, this is how the World Class Item "Avarice and Generous" works in the New World. Momonga was pretty shocked when he used it since in the Yggdrasil game it was simply a means of collecting a lot of experience at once. Witnesses were understandably terrified of the monster devouring the souls of the dead.
• Belius Dies Differently In The Adaptation. In the original web novel, it stomps him to death.
• Schrödinger's Cast: Arche's fate varies between media. In the original Web Novel, she survives the annihilation of Foresight and the rest of the Workers, but is forced to live out her days as Shalltear's sex slave. When the time came for her to finally make an appearance in the Light Novel, she instead dies at the hands of Shalltear.

Should we split Sandbox.Light Novel for now? It's giving too long page warnings, and trying to remove Gay Romantic Phase, which is done, caused such a slowdown that I accidentally null edited five times, thinking my edit hadn't saved because it never left the edit screen.

Maybe but honestly I don't think the page is worth the trouble. I can't get it to open at all. I'd just fix the wicks the old fashioned way by picking a work to do and just stick to it.

- Agreeing that's the best option. There's less than 50 redirects left, after all?

Which is pretty much what I've said is going to happen to begin with.

Personally, I like something more like the previous way, where redlinks can tell you if it's done or not. Finishing No Game No Life, btw.

So, there's only 8 redirects left, and one of them is <60 wicks, all but 2 are <200, and the biggest is <500. Probably gonna be done with those before the week is over.

What are we doing with Literature.Overlord 2010? Since that seems to be the only remaining issue. Make a new thread just for it? Give it a Summary.Literature entry? Something else?

Edited by Malady on Jun 13th 2023 at 7:48:06 AM

(refreshed 18.06.2023):

1. Haruhi Suzumiya (12)

Edited by Amonimus on Jun 18th 2023 at 6:36:32 PM

Now down to Haruhi and her <300 wicks! What do with Literature.Overlord 2010?

Do we need to do anything about it? I don't see why we would. Someone can create the page when they feel up to it.

I'm fine with that.

Thank you, whoever just did 150 wicks in a few hours! LightNovel.Haruhi Suzumiya has 20 left, and then I guess we lock this thread due to completion?

EDIT: And now it's done! Thank you, whoever!

Edited by Malady on Jun 18th 2023 at 9:06:59 AM

I think you're talking to me. You're welcome; glad I could help.

Was LightNovel.Haruhi Suzumiya cut rejected or it was never added?

It's now a redirect to Literature.Haruhi Suzumiya.

I know. Every other (almost a hundred) redirect was cut and it's the only one left.
