Hi! Sorry about the delayed response. I like most of these changes and forwarded them to the committee--so far no objections. There are a couple of items I'm ambivalent about: 1. > - Under "Sequential Art" have the "Manga" subcategory, and under "Animation" have the "Anime" subcategory.
Given your plan to categorize fandom pages instead of fandom categories under Canon Types, this would actually be very easy to implement since we've already got the Anime and Manga categories. However, I think it will look a little weird if they are the only subcategories. Can we add other country/region/continent subcategories? Like, do we want a "U.S. Comics & Graphic Novels" category? Admittedly, there's only 27 pages in the current Comics category, and some of them are not actually fandoms. http://fanlore.org/wiki/Category:Comics
Doro also proposed something upthread that appeals to me--have overlapping categories so everyone can have the categories they find useful. All sequential art goes in "Sequential Art", all comics from Japan go in Manga, etc. (If we did this, we would definitely need a U.S. Comics category as well) I made a little diagram of the result:
Existing categories in white, new categories in pink, renamed Real People category in light pink.
2. I'm also not sure about the naming of the comics fandom category. Do comics fans call it "Comic Book Fandom"? "Comics Fandom", "Comic Book Fandom", a disambiguation along the lines of "Comics Fandom (U.S.?? comic books)" or whatever is fine by me as long as comics fans actually call it that.
3. There is no 3.
(BTW, I changed the "Science Fiction" category to read "Science Fiction Fandom"... and then I realized maybe it should be called "Science Fiction & Fantasy Fandom"??)
ETA: To clarify, if we adopt all your changes and start doing stuff on the actual wiki today, I would be delighted! (I don't think we can do it today, though; I have to go check....) I think point #1 above would be easy to fix later on.
