Pointless Wikis

shugo_chara

The tag has been aliased to shugo_chara!, and I moved the contents of the shugo_chara wiki to the shugo_chara! wiki.

Also, for some strange reason the shugo_chara wiki shows the tag as having a -7 post count. I also can only get the first page of posts if I just look up shugo_chara. However, looking up shugo_kyara or shugo_kyara! gives me all the posts like it's supposed to.

This is probably something for another thread, though.

Yeah, this isn't too uncommon with aliases. Couldn't tell you what causes it, but it seems to be benign.

It's when there's deleted posts that weren't counted twards the postcount (if you check the new tag it has 7 deletions and the old wiki has a -7 postcount). Nothing to worry about.

Pointlessness aside, how big should a wiki be?

I just came across tarot, and it seems a little big for Danbooru. The first sentence and a link to the wikipedia article would be good enough for me.

Yeah big wikis are a problem imo, but mostly because of how they're displayed on the side when you're searching for just that one tag.

I have been wondering on that matter if it would be possible to have something to mark an area of a wiki to not have it display in the mini-wiki box, though this is getting off topic for this thread.

This one in particular I'd keep, as every once in a while we get a "match characters to the tarot cards" picture, and that's a useful summary of the roles.
