Should we convert Hentai into an index?

I have noticed while adding the Kite and Futari Ecchi works that we do have quite a few hentai works with articles nowadays. Bible Black and Mai-chan's daily life being two high profile examples.

Since this is only likely to grow, should we consider changing the Hentai page so that it is an index, to group those series together? We could leave the trope description fully intact, and just list the examples in an Index format.

So, any thoughts? Pros/Cons?

Precedent of sorts: Plot With Porn

We document fiction. Hentai titles usually have more dedicated following than your avarage run-of-the-mill live action porno. I say yeah, make it an index.

Precedent of sorts: Plot With Porn

Shouldn't that be "Porn With Plot"?

Why not make it simply "adult material". After all Pirates (the most expensive porno OF ALL TIME) would deserve anb entry here, methinks.

Beats me, but I made Porn with Plot a redirect a while ago, so it's not that important.

Other related things: Porn Tropes

I thought until just now that we had Plot With Porn and Porn with Plot as two separate tropes.

Why not make it simply "adult material". After all Pirates (the most expensive porno OF ALL TIME) would deserve anb entry here, methinks.

I would be fine with that, as I'm sure we have plenty of works that would fit into the index.

Any other thoughts? Is this the appropriate place to be bringing up this suggestion?

So is anyone opposed to me creating an "Adult Content" index, that would include any kind of pornographic works?

Is there some kind of special approval or process I need to make a new index?

I see no problem with that. Maybe take it to YKTTW, though.

Ahhh thanks for the suggestion! I will try to get that done sometime this weekend.

Almost six months, and no changes. Did this dicussion just die off abruptly?

Actually this was a matter of "something I had intended to do, got busy, and then entirely forgot about". Now that I'm seeing this again a year later, I figure we can bring it up for discussion. If everyone is still in agreement I can put the "Adult Content Index" idea through YKTTW.

^ Just as long as you still make sure that hentai titles stand out from regular porn. Indexing it itself might still be a better idea.

Yeah, "Adult Content" as main index, "Hentai" as a sub-index. That oughtta work.

How would that work? Adult content as an index of other indexes (including Hentai as an example?)

In a sense, yes.

Have you noticed in some index pages how there are other indexes in small boxes on the right side of the page? For example, Video Game Tropes. That's how it should work.

Ah, I see... so the "Adult Content" index would basically include, say, non-hentai pornographic works, with Hentai listed as a subcategory that takes you to its own Index.

Exactly.

That sounds doable. I know that "Adult Content" (or whatever it may end up being called) would need to go through YKTTW. My question is, what process do I go through to get approval to make Hentai an index since it's a currently existing page?

TRS.

Maybe if there's enough content to qualify, doujin games could have their own index as well.

Made a TRS thread for Hentai here.

Well, the Hentai change is done, as it's now an index. I will be working on giving some of the redlinks there own wiki pages in the coming weeks.

As far as the Adult Content YKTTW is concerned, I have not started that because I'm having trouble thinking of non-hentai, non-H Game works that would qualify that actually have pages. Everything I've searched for either doesn't exist or is a red link.

I would at least like to have a bit more than the required three examples before proposing the YKTTW, as anything short of that would make it hard to justify having an index for.

Can anyone think of some examples that would go under this new index?

Why say mai-chan as an example......

Anyway what about H-Games or semi H-games that recieve "clean" adaptations even if the anime is way better known?
