Thank you so much for creating the poll! It's awesome. I'm so sorry you have to go the trouble of doing this all yourself, but I think at this point you have the best idea of what needs to be accomplished around here. I cast my votes, and I am so excited to finally determine these things so I can start helping out more and be more aware of what needs to get worked on.
You're welcome and thank you for allowing me to contribute as well!

Umm... to be honest, I'm waiting on Yunabeco to give me an official answer if he's okay on this "decision by vote". As soon as I get the okay, I'll officially start the "Voting Period". You don't have to vote again if you already did (they will still count), but thank you so much for being so prompt. Your responses really gave me confidence in our abilities to collaborate. Once the week (or however long we decide to keep the voting open) is over, I can tally up the votes. To keep it honest with everyone, I plan to share the viewing of the votes with Yunabeco. The last thing I want is people pointing fingers at a "rigged poll".

If anyone has problems with the form or has questions/suggestions, please leave a message in this thread!

Oh yeah, I forgot one thing. I think the 'Official Songs' page should have collapsible tabs as well because some of the sections are getting long.

Same, but that seems like an easy enough fix.

Also, I memtioned this in a topic in this section, and the talk page, but I would really like to clean up the songs template.

Here's the somewhat outdated prototype I have... There's some mistakes and it needs some brushing up but it's a rough draft. Thoughts? I might want to add a different mark for rival-only songs and scrap the asterisks altogether because ALRIGHT* exists, but yeah.

Here's the current one, for comparison.

http://www.project-imas.com/wiki/Template:Songs

I think it's a little misleading at the moment, since it doesn't really list what games the songs debuted in. Someone who doesn't know a ton about the series might think that my song debuted in the 2nd Vision games, for example.

Ah! I meant to tell you a while ago that I liked where this was going. What I would do to shrink the left side is make the "Standard Songs" say "First <br> Appearance" and each category say only the game name, such as "THE iDOLM@STER (Arcade)", "THE iDOLM@STER (Xbox 360) or Live For You!" or "SHINY FESTA or Shiny TV". To be honest, I think the template needs to be renamed to be "In Game Songs", but that may be more trouble than it's worth..

Thanks for the input! Yeah, I agree. It's a little wide at the moment.

Double post, but...

As the Cinderella Girls anime draws closer, should we start putting CG Anime songs in the normal CG category, or make a Cinderella Girls (Anime) section in the official song listing?

I say split it. If we ever get a DS, ML, or SideM anime, we should split those as well.

Is Mamayu someone on this forum? Like I'd rather discuss this instead of them making grudge edits bc their first edit got reverted.

Is there a way you guys can keep mamayu from editing the wiki if she/he continues to purposely mess it up?

A mod can ban them (usually a user ban followed by an IP ban if they make other accounts and vandalize), but we only have one active mod on the wiki.

And what a mod it is.

Ahem. For now, I've left a notification on his user page. Additional actions will be taken if the situation does not resolve itself in time. The Mamayu wiki user does not appear to be a forum user at all, from what I could gather.

Anyway, you do raise a good point. I am the only active sysop. I'm thinking about adding a couple more.

So I'm just gonna put stuff that doesn't really warrant a topic, but... The more I think about it, the more I'm thinking that Japanesque Button in the FLORAL category is supposed to be Japanesque Botan, which is a kind of peony. Everything else has flower names.

Should we flip the character's names in the CDs like "THE IDOLM@STER MASTER ARTIST 01 Amami Haruka" to "THE IDOLM@STER MASTER ARTIST 01 Haruka Amami"? the official CDs is written like the latter.

The titles of the Xenoglossia CDs should begin with "Idolmaster" because "THE iDOLM@STER" spelling was never used, it was "アイドルマスターXENOGLOSSIA" everywhere!

So does the rest of other series.
