    • OG Project Pages?

    Posted by carmila on Wed 25 of Sep, 2013 12:08 GMT-0000 posts: 10 ☆ ☆
    Since the Takawiki has become such an indispensable source of information for anything related to the revue, I have been wondering about how everyone here feels about project pages for OGs?
    I know we have them for things like Dancin Crazy and the special Elisabeth Galas, but those are all shows that have an OG-only cast.

    Do you think doing this for shows were there might only be one or two OGs in the cast (in named roles, of course) would be a good idea, or would it lead to far from the initial purpose of the Wiki?
    Or maybe we could think about just doing such OG-Project pages in case there is any kind of media available for it? (Cast Recording, Live Recording or a DVD release for the project) so the foreign fans actually have a use for this information?

    In case it might be hard to imagine how that could look, I’d take Ai no Seishun no Takarzuka as an example.
    If a normal cast chart was applied, the Siennes could simply be linked back to their already existing profiles, and for the male actors (who of course have not been part of the revue) simply writing their name without linking should be enough to indicate that they have not been Siennes at any point – the same could also work with actresses who have not been Siennes, of course.

    I know this would be a lot of work, but it’s sadly quiet often the case that any information about the OG projects disappear rather quickly, and there is no TakaWiki to be a life saver so far.

    (I would be volunteering to do an ‘example page’ for the 2008 version of Ai to Seishun, since it has been released on DVD too, if anyone would be interested in this at all, to see how it would work out. Senior and Junior cast, of course.)

    I've only made minor edits to pages before, so I don't know if I know how to make a new page for something like that, and I don't know about much about OG related stuff, but I did go see the new Sailor Moon musical which has three OGs in it. I'd be happy to contribute information about that if there's going to be a page

    I'm mostly a lurker, so I don't know if my opinion means much of anything at all, but I think it would be great to have pages about things OGs are involved in because as you said it can be hard to find information otherwise. Sure, it wouldn't be 100% Takarazuka content, but I don't think it would take away from the quality and usefulness of the rest of TakaWiki to add another section. There may be some reason that I'm not thinking of that would make extra info a minus and not a plus, but if it's only a plus, why not?
