Quick Opinion Post

So. It's slow going, but the Merchandise wiki is starting to make some good progress. And while that's the case, I figure that's the best time to find out what people actually want to see on it, too.

At the moment, pages consist of the absolute basics. Item name, Release date, Company, Retail and second-hand values, and small descriptions of the appearance and included characters. The pages also include at least one piece of official stock, as well as a "User Photos" gallery, and an external links list to help in purchasing when possible.

Are there any things at all that people would want more in-depth information about?
I'm already considering a change to the gallery that allows non-user photos. There are character-specific pages fully planned for once the wiki contains every item.
There just aren't enough ideas I can come up with to expand on what's written for each item.

Any help would be appreciated. ;u;

I'll cross post to hetalia_sell when my sales aren't still on the main page over there.

It would be great if someone would write a comparision for the real one-coin figures and the fake ones, since many people still believe they would have originals - even if it's not the case. And to protect people from buying fakes (which aren't really good to handle, since they are really easy breakable) of course.

:> there are, luckily, a lot of those already out there. Our One Coin (http://hetaliaitemguide.wikia.com/wiki/Kotobukiya_One_Coin_Figures) page has a small guide included under the bootleg heading, as well as links to two additional bootleg guides that had been found.

There are also small comparisons between official and bootlegs on the Plushie (http://hetaliaitemguide.wikia.com/wiki/Movic_Plushies) and Tomy Keychain (http://hetaliaitemguide.wikia.com/wiki/Tomy_Mascots) pages.

So, yes. Thanks for reminding me. Bootleg warnings will definitely be there when applicable.

I see. It's good to know, because I mean... Kiku with violet hair? Really? XD
Oh, and maybe you should link to the wiki in the post itself?

Yeah, I've been thinking about linking to the main page, but at the same time, I'd like to keep to a few main editors until it's really set to go. There's still the issue of finalizing the template design (reason for this post), then putting up the rules page.

:> For going live and announcing the site to the whole community as ready to use, I've actually even got a little contest planned out to reward the best contributors. So. If all goes well, that should be no later than the end of the month.
