I was thinking maybe there should be a "trivia" section for each title. the only problem would be varifying them.

there are several good anime trivia sites on the net already.. it'd be pretty much just duplicated effort.

(speaking of which, it's about time for another music question)

i'd also thought about including 'best' fan links, so the top fansites for various shows (like ayanami.nu for Eva)... but that's basically something that's already handled by anipike and a few other anime search engines.

I think the two suggestions, trivia and links, are good ideas for the encyclopedia. So what if other sites do trivia? So what if anipike does links? There are plenty of websites that do voices actors, but we still have that in the Encyclopedia, right? The idea is to have all the knowledge easily found in one place. So I'm all for adding trivia and the best fansites -- hell, ALL the fansites. But this can't go in the regular info screen, it would clutter it up too much. There's the potential for hundreds of trivia questions and hundreds of websites for some anime, and that would load up a page too much to make it useful. That information would somehow have to go into another page.

Hey, I just got myself fired up for that idea! I'm going to code it right now!

Easy boy...

Didn't we already talk about Trivia?

Personally I'm for the trivia, but against the links (for now).
