A Call to Action for Mecha Anime Enthusiasts
As a fellow mecha anime fan, I’m reaching out to the community for support. You may be aware of the /m/echa wiki, a platform dedicated to archiving mecha anime information. Unfortunately, the creator abandoned the project, leaving it without moderators or administrators.
The Mission: Preserving Mecha Anime History
The wiki was created to salvage mechanical information and in-universe details that were deemed “fancruft” by other platforms. The good news is that most of the essential information has been preserved, and all deleted data from other sources has found a new home.
Why We Need Your Help
While significant progress has been made, the project still requires additional hands to complete it efficiently. With your assistance, we can finalize the wiki quickly. The tasks are straightforward, and no image uploads are necessary, making it a mostly text-based endeavor.
Expansion and Additions: The Next Steps
The wiki requires two types of contributions: expansion and additions. Pages that need expansion are categorized and include mecha from notable series like Gunbuster, Diebuster, and Raideen. To expand these pages, we need official dimensions, speeds, episode appearances, capability descriptions, and pilot information. Additionally, trivia and Super Robot Wars appearances are welcome.
New Additions: Filling the Gaps
We’re also seeking help with adding essential information from franchises like Dunbine, Brain Powerd, and Escaflowne. A vehicle listing page for Space Battleship Yamato would be a valuable addition, although it’s a challenging task due to the limited availability of information.
Your Ideas Matter
If you have suggestions for new additions or ideas that warrant an entire page, we’re open to hearing them. Please note that once a page is created, it cannot be deleted, so we must ensure the information is accurate and relevant.
Join the Effort
If you’re passionate about mecha anime and willing to lend a hand, we’d be grateful for your support. Together, we can complete the wiki and create a valuable resource for the community.
