[edit] Implemenation

See proposal at Wikipedia template messages. The original proposal can be seen here.

[edit] Usage

{{voice actor | id= | name= }}

  • id: very similiar to the IMDB template, it is the ID from the website Voice Chasers Database
  • name: the actor's name.
example:
http://voicechasers.com/database/showactor.php?actorid=0000

[edit] Purpose

This template was created to have a standarized template for the large amount of voice actors listed on Wikipedia. It is used just like the imdb and tvtome templates, for ease of entry.

If you have any comments or layout ideas, feel free to discuss them.

[edit] Discussion

I have noticed that the Template: Voice actor has a broken link. Turns out the associated article Voice Chasers was VfD'd because the site ([1]) was deemed a "Non-notable" website.

Since I am new here, I decided to err on the side of caution. Seems the easiest fix is to change the template to include an external link to VoiceChasers. Since that change will "cascade" and affect other articles I thought I would ask first.

Also, I noted that this template isn't in this list: Wikipedia:Template messages/All but is used in many articles I have reviewed. Schmiteye 00:17, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
