The old (simple) romanization was commonly used outside Korea and I call it "simple" (or simplified) for technical reasons because it doesn't use special letters (breves and aphostrophes). In fact it may be confusing because it is more pronounciation oriented and it is not suitable for "backwards" transcription. I'm not a language expert. You can read more on Wikipedia.
For drama titles I'd prefer RR for transcriptions. Maybe for all text, except for names. For names I'd list both transcriptions. Unfortunately, official(!) name transcription can be RR or "simplified" or even a mix of both. There exist no real rules which is very unsatisfyingly IMHO. For artist page titles we usually chose the romanization that is used on the official artist homepages, if existant, or just what is most commonly used (on the internet). If there is any doubt, then using the RR for an artist page is also fine.
Now some technical notes on wikis, specifically MediaWiki wikis...
In a wiki it is easy to change the page titles using the move feature. This way a page can have more than one title (=the displayed title). Page titles may change for several reasons. Artists may switch from real name to stage names and vice versa. Drama titles may change during the production process and so on. The only important thing is that the different names are listed and explained properly on each page.
If you find that a certain page title is incorrect or uncommon then you can always discuss this on the article's associated discussion page (talk page). For example, if you think that "Sparkling" should not be the page title for the drama "반짝반짝 빛나는" ("Banjjak Banjjak Bitnaneun") then you can always discuss it on its talk page your just rename it as you wish.
regarding the reviews...
I just noticed that at least some reviews were removed from the forum. So we'll probably keep them on separate wiki pages like we did for Seikei Bijin. The separate subpages will be put into a review category for easy accessing. Until then you can use the Google search inside DramaWiki to find them. |
Oh, you may be referring to the Yale Romanization. It also has some problems because it is much more difficult to learn how to say those. I didn't study it, but I see that "eo" from RR is transcribed as "e" and "e" is "ey" so that would confuse many since the Revised is written closest to the pronunciation. What is commonly used is a combination of both, but this of course, is at the user's discretion so it causes many different romanizations which do not all agree.
I totally agree with the second paragraph. 
So we could have two pages on the same person such as (non-actor) Yi Seung-yeol who happens to have something like 4 "official" transcriptions and it would be updated to the current one?
OK, the renaming of pages would be a great thing to do, but wouldn't people not check the talk pages all the time?
That's great. The legacy still is there and it doesn't need to take up half the page.
Thank you again for the responses.

I would like to create a scraper for XBMC, that looks up information of dramas from DramaWiki. And I thought I would ask permission first... |
I know I'm replying to a very old message, but am wondering if anything came of this?
Thanks!

Just wondering if the server change will affect the URL from DramaWiki in some way? Will there be a new URL or stay the same?
http://wiki.d-addicts.com/ (Read only at the moment)
And the new temporary? URL http://46.165.216.86/~wiki/wiki/

http://46.165.216.86/~wiki/wiki/ is the temporary url of the new wiki server.
The old wiki server will disappear soon and the old address is used for the new one.
So, you can keep using the old address when linking to DramaWiki.
I'll have to ask Ruroshin how to do the DNS migration, or... if I have to do it myself at all.

Update
The wikis are now reachable under their old address again.
http://wiki.d-addicts.com
http://fansub.d-addicts.com
If your name server is still pointing to the old server then you can "force" the new address by adding the following two lines to your hosts file:
| Code: |
46.165.216.86 wiki.d-addicts.com
46.165.216.86 fansub.d-addicts.com

If you save your hosts file under windows with notepad editor then:
- Make sure that you save a file named "hosts" and not "hosts.txt"
- Also some anti-virus tools may block modifications of the hosts file. You have to turn off disable the av-tool when you save the hosts file.

I noticed a possible error on the Wiki page of Yae no Sakura:
http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Yae_no_Sakura
The family name of the "Yamagawa" clan.
On English Wikipedia it says Yamakawa, I did also check the Japanese Wikipedia.
Example - Yamagawa?/Yamakawa Kenjiro.
山川 健次郎 （やまかわ けんじろう)
