Talk:Volume 1

Description format. By file or by case?

Recently User:CoolKid94 redid the first Manga Volume page that so that it the case description is on a per case basis instead of a per manga chapter basis. I'm not sure if that is a useful improvement because it makes it less clear what files correspond to the described plot (less specificity) and the method runs into trouble when a case spans multiple volumes causing a description split (harder to keep coherent plot). I liked having descriptions for every file instead of every case better. Just to be clear, I don't mind the spoiler tag usage for resolutions and gadgets introduced and such. What do you all think?

I also think it's better to have the description according to manga chapters instead of cases as it provides more precise information in regards to where in the manga story frame, a given situation occurs: it allows the reader to pinpoint the exact File where the related description is to be found. Again, the purpose of this wiki is to convey every bit of DC information possible in the most convenient, practical and precise way while remaining clear and very accessible on the reader-friendly side. I believe the old version of Volume 1 is more appropriate and precise in this regard. --Maurice ^talk 15:12, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

I just wanted to contribute to the wiki a little. Personally, I like the case by case version better, since it makes more sense to me to have the whole description in one place, rather than broken up. I also agree that we should make the wiki a great source of information, but I don't think that we should make it too easy. What I mean is that I want to tell people what's going on, but not everything. I just want to arouse people's curiosity about what happens. That way they'll want to know more and will buy the volumes, making sure that they don't quit releasing them. After all, if the wiki had everything, then there'd be no point to watch the series, and people wouldn't know what they'd be missing. That's my logic, but feel free to disagree. I've also started a topic in the forums about this here: http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/forum/topic/2247-format-for-manga-volumes-pages/ , so feel free to state your opinions here, too. I'm completely open to changing it back, so don't think I'm biased or anything. User:CoolKid94 17:11, 25 August 2011 (EST).
