Are non-figure items from the Tokyo Olympics 2020 such as tokyo2020shop.j... allowed in the database? I guess they count as pop-icons from the list that is allowed?

Also it seems like the maker is the Tokyo 2020 Organising Committee (yes, with the misspelled 's'), which I assume is the manufacturer for these goods?

Nefere • 12 days ago • #77963098I think so. Look at this garage kit ITEM #944879 that was available in 2 unassembled versions (ivory and clear resin) and 2 assembled and painted ones (normal and snow painting). There's 4 entries in total.
Thanks for the clarification! I'll make two more entries (one for each colour variant).

Perky_Pat • 12 days ago • #77962303Should painted garage kits sold be added as a separate entry? For example, this kit (ITEM #988820) is being sold in its unpainted, un-assembled form, but the circle is also selling pre-painted and assembled versions (link is NSFW).

darkroseblast • 15 days ago • #77890721There is. The moderators are able to make mass edits to classifications all at once. All you need to do is alert that entry and say that it is strictly a "Type" classification and all items linked to it should be classified as such. They made a mass edit to all the items connected to an entry I alerted that was defaulting to "Type" when it was really a "Product Line."

Got it. Thank you! I've alerted the entry. >< But the alerts seem to be piling up lately...

giyunosakedaikon • 15 days ago • #77890663For this classification ENTRY #67646 which I figure is a "type" most of the entries are "defaulted" to "Series". I wonder if there's easy way to change all "As Series" to "As Type"?There is. The moderators are able to make mass edits to classifications all at once.

Hi guys, so this one has been deemed as "weird rules" by fellow MFCers and frankly it's making my head spin as well. Basically, what is going on with the rules regarding indexing Azur Lane and Girls Frontline (Arknights as well in the future possibly)? Correct me if I'm wrong but I think we went from No Chinese origin franchises allowed to be indexed to --> Chinese franchise figures being allowed to index so long as manufacturer / publisher is Japanese to --> both Chinese franchise figures and media being allowed to index if manuf/pub is Japanese. But not Goods.

Do you think we'll see a change in this current rule in the future and if not, why not? And as an alternative, is it accepted to talk about these specific Goods on the MFC forums (including showing pictures of them and making threads for buying/selling them)?

Idk if you've noticed but, in the mangaka/illustrator world especially Azur Lane is so popular nowadays that it just about takes up half of the total created content for Japanese events such as Comiket, so as a result all those tapestries, daki covers etc. end up not showing here and that's a bit too much to just continue to ignore. What are your thoughts on this?

Would like confirmation before I add a bunch of items that museum-okipara.... these designs are SFW? I believe so but want to make sure because there are a bunch of incoming items with this design and it'd be tedious to go back and edit them all again.
