So, I was working on the Shounen article, and I wanted to make a point about the whole genre vs. demographic thing. (In Japan, "shounen" = comics aimed at boys; in English-speaking fandom, "shounen" = that Dragonball stuff.) I was thinking that a nice, sortable table would be just the thing to organize the list of popular series people had already come up with, but in creating it, I noticed two things:
First, I was expecting the list to mostly be titles that ran in Shounen Jump (a very major magazine responsible for a lot of the unified genre elements that make English-speaking fandom consider shounen a genre). I was not expecting 100% of them to be from there! Surely there are some other popular series that aren't. Detective Conan/Case Closed isn't (and I'll go add it when I finish this post), but I'd love it if anyone could think of some others to add. Here's the popular series section of the shounen article.
Second, I knew of sortable tables from Wikipedia, so I just assumed I could do them on Fanlore. However, when I looked at the editing help pages, they weren't mentioned. Does this mean they're not allowed? Or does this just mean we need more documentation? I copied the formatting from Wikipedia (which has extensive documentation on the subject), and it shows up fine on Fanlore.
