Hey, easier to write and link here. Revriley and myself have been discussing affiliations and I’m glad these steps have been taken for everyone. I understand there’s a good rapport between these wiki’s, there was a forum question to request people’s opinions on Baccano! Too.

Your affiliates test box looks nice, it could be made slightly taller to match the right column (bear in mind the advert might affect this time to time) but there’s plenty of space available. If a scroll box is used, whilst it won’t show on phones, ChromeCircus and other Admins are able to make a list of affiliates by editing the sites mobile main page. It’s something like 60% of a wikis traffic comes from phones, tablets and the like now.

For what it’s worth, I hope my input on affiliations is helpful: some wikis affiliate with any anime, even non-anime, by manga publisher, various reasons. Attack on Titan has an interesting affiliate guidelines selection. Do you affiliate with any anime? Is the development of the wiki itself a factor, if characters have the same voice actor is that grounds? The point is some reasons for affiliating are more important than others and so Durarara!! Is in a very good place to forge it's own best practises. If I may suggest, the story, world and characters, the actual content that a series espouses should hold the greatest weight when deciding an affiliation.

Linking the Naritaverse wikis was a perfect start and as I said on the Baccano! Wiki, I shall wait patiently for the communities to share their opinions. I do hope I make a good case that Banana Fish would be an ideal affiliate with Durarara!! Based on their similar world and themes, it’s the interchangeable heart they share that matters.

In any case should one of us inform Revriley that the Naritaverse wiki affiliates are to go ahead? I believe the community vote here on Durarara!! (For some reason I like typing out the full names!) Was being awaited. I can offer my support in a thread for affiliations, though since I’m requesting one I'm not sure if it counts as bias. Then again I love both Durarara!! And Banana Fish so it might be useful insight? Either way of course feel free to message me here or on Banana Fish after everyone has shared their views.
