"Wanted" categ-tags

[Luna Tiger]

I'm not all huge on the CoTDex, but there is something annoying about going to an aritcle and finding there's practically nothing there. Forget information about what they might have done, I'm talking missing Japanese name (either entirely or just the kanji), missing VAs (at least J and E), and/or no image.

We have a "Wanted Article" page by default, incomplete article temps, and stub temps. Is it possible we could have "Articles in need of (blank)" category tags, at least to help the floundering articles along? Chances are a lot needing help aren't listed as a 'stub' and if they are, categories like this at least mean people know what's missing exactly and don't need to go looking through the stubs for something they only might be able to help with.

That's a good idea. I could probably make it one tag with multiple parameters. What exactly are you thinking of adding? JaVA, JaVA-kanji, EnVA, JaName-kanji? The English and Japanese names are easily taken care of since that's how the page is named... Any other parameters?

Only the last few years worth of characters have both English and romanized Japanese names; I know I've seen a few of older characters that don't even have a romanized name mentioned, because the person making the article likely didn't have a Japanese source to fall back for.

But those you mentioned (JaName-Kanji would negate needing a JaName-Roman, since you're never likely to have a name in kanji without its romanized counterpart, but the reverse is common, and if both are missing, anyone knowing the kanji would know the romanization) and 'profile images' should be good.

Tag made. Now all that needs to be done is to put it on pages needing said info.
