Right then, folks. As some of you may have noticed, we're currently attempting to enact sweeping changes upon the Fan Fic Recommendations pages in response to this thread. The problem is that it's a frakkin' huge undertaking, and we could really use some help.

If you want to see how the new format is supposed to look, check out the [PROTOTYPE] page and Wilbyr's edits to the Neon Genesis Evangelion page.

Again, this is probably going to require help from several people, not least because internet slowdown prevents me from editing the bigger pages on a regular, reliable basis.

What's precedent ever done for us?

I'll be getting back to the Eva page soon; the ad panic put me in a major funk but now that things seem to be more optimistic I'm getting my drive back.

If anyone wants to help and has questions, feel free to PM me and I'll get back to you ASAP.

Okay, I see a couple examples of the finished process, but nothing saying how to get there.

Let me help by applying this on the Death Note Fan Fic page! (One of them is my own fanfiction. Three guesses to guess what it is).

EDIT: Just added the button to a few of the General Fics. I hope someone will help me do the rest (I have a bad computer). smile

@Hylarn: Basically, you convert all existing recommendations to the modified format (see the 'edit page' button for the precise coding involved), and turn signed comments into individual reviews. As a rule, the first thing in the Comments section will be the review left by the first person in the Recommended By section.

Calling dibs on the Mahou Sensei Negima page, since I hold it very dear and close to my heart. But I won't be able to edit it until this Sunday.

By the way, I tested the reviews tag on the Kira Is Justice page and it didn't work. Is it meant only to work on certain pages?

Possibly. It's only intended for use on recs pages, anyway - works pages have their own button at the top.
