Talk:Fan Projects

splintering off long lists

I think Videos and Art, in particular, run the risk of outgrowing this page. Motion that they be splintered off to other pages with links from here. (A Category:Videos, sub-Category:Fan vids may be in order.) --Bry 12:40, 23 April 2008 (EDT)

that seems reasonable to me. Although arguably there is no point in splintering them until they actually start to grow. Personally I find maintained lists more useful than categories, but there's no reason not to have both, as long as we commit to maintaining both. Jadelennox 13:57, 23 April 2008 (EDT)

Fair enough! Another possible way to split it might be between "longer-term" projects and one-time productions -- I'm kinda being intentionally vague because I'm not sure of my ground, but there might be a definition along the lines of "projects" meaning either an ongoing series of productions or something that seeks to involve a bunch of fans. Maybe it's a "production" if I create and YouTube a sock-puppet "dance" to You Ruined Everything, but it's a "project" if I either announce that I'm going to start doing a bunch of sock-puppet dance videos or try to get other people to submit their sock-puppet dances. (All the suggestions I mention, by the way, sound completely unwatchable.) --Bry 14:23, 23 April 2008 (EDT)

Within the Project type page, it might make sense to separate them by song, when possible. --bryanjbusch 14:32, 23 April 2008 (EDT)

We may as well add them directly to the song page/Other fan content, then... --Bry 14:41, 23 April 2008 (EDT)

This sounds reasonable, as the video section is already the longest section, and we're just getting started. Which raises another question. Linking to every single Youtube fan video on JoCo--yes or no? Sushimustwrite 20:57, 23 April 2008 (EDT)
