== Linking to Wikipedia articles for licensed artists ==
This probably concerns jubeat and Reflec Beat editors more than IIDX/pop'n but... wouldn't it be a better idea to link artist names for artists that aren't directly involved with Bemani (licenses) to Wikipedia pages instead of leaving a red link there? --[[User:Sakurina|Sakurina]] 00:39, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
== New Page Proposition ==
I wanted to do something similar to TVTropes and add a "What Could Have Been" page, to fill in anything not a scrapped song/game. Like how [[Yellow Sunrise]] was supposed to be a darkstep song. If anyone would be curious about updating such a thing, that is. --[[User:Tsuyoshi-kun|M.B.]] ([[User talk:Tsuyoshi-kun|talk]]) 08:53, 29 March 2015 (UTC)
== Potential for expanding game series? ==
Personally I think it'd be a cool idea to invest into the newer series like Dance Evolution or Future Tom Tom or Beatstream ect ect. While they're not big titles in the bemani series, it'd still be a worthwhile addition imo. They're small enough that not much work will have have to be done at least. What do you guys think? --[[User:Corin|Corin]] ([[User talk:Corin|talk]]) 15:37, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
* As already explained, we need to finish up the DDR and GF/DM pages first before we go to any other series.--[[User:Tsuyoshi-kun|M.B.]] ([[User talk:Tsuyoshi-kun|talk]]) 15:51, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

== Official Wallpapers ==
With every website under konami.jp/am or konami.jp/bemani archived and so they get easier to search later on I was wondering if we could add official wallpapers to the respective songs' gallery pages? From the top of my head these seem to have had wallpapers that are pretty hard to find now:
* IIDX G2ARTS
* GFDM Calendars (V2-V6)
* GFDM Designer's Room
* Wallpapers and background movies actually existing in GFDM V and V2 OSTs --[[User:Tsugaru7reveng|t7r]] ([[User talk:Tsugaru7reveng|talk]]) 15:51, 21 March 2020 (UTC)

== Lyrics ==
 
Several songs (e.g. [[Keep On Liftin']], [[KEEP ON MOVIN']]) have horribly inaccurate lyrics, apparently because the source material (which isn't listed) wrote them that way. Is there any possible change that can be made so that they're not deliberately misleading? Also, should sound sample information (like with [[ECSTASY]]) be included in the Trivia section? [[User:Theroux|Theroux]] ([[User talk:Theroux|talk]]) 06:40, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
* See [[RemyWiki:Rules]]. Lyrics should be written as they are on their respective OSTs, samples are completely avoided. --[[User:FinalOffset|FinalOffset]] ([[User talk:FinalOffset|talk]]) 15:09, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

== "as part of the" [music pack] ==


Guys, please stop doing this. I've been noticing this trend in recent weeks on this wiki of people editing various pages and being...not very courteous doing so. This is my first and final warning to those who have been doing this. We should all know better than this. --[[User:Tsuyoshi-kun|M.B.]] ([[User talk:Tsuyoshi-kun|talk]]) 00:02, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
Can we please stop doing this? It's very Engrishy. --[[User:Morning Blue|M.B.]] ([[User talk:Morning Blue|talk]]) 03:51, 2 February 2022 (UTC)


== Song sample connections ==
== Active/Inactive BEMANI series layout needs improvement ==


I think that we should stop listing song connections if 2 or more songs share the same vocal/synth/beat/whatever samples (except those which are intentional; I'll explain below). Recent songs (especially electronic ones) are using a lot of samples (and in a single song), most of which have been heard before. I think it's unnecessary to list all the songs that use the same sample since it unnecessarily connects the 2 or more songs. Take "somebody scream" for example: it already lists more than 10 songs currently, and there will be more in the future. Artists (I think) use samples to complete their own songs, not to make it related to Second Heaven/FIRE FIRE etc.. And also we update old song pages for that, which is getting more troublesome the more songs use a certain sample.
The layout for these sections on the main page needs to be improved; it does not look good on mobile or smaller displays. I suggest using responsive CSS flexboxes instead of HTML tables. Each box needs to have a special CSS class that contains @media rules that will adjust their widths depending on the size of the display. Contain the boxes within a <div> containing flex rules so that they break into columns nicely.


The exceptions would be that the use is intentional. Something like "yes the whole earth" in HELL SCAPER, Sol Cosine Job 2 and HELL OR HELL. (But others, like Eagle songs, always have certain samples, i.e. 123456doit; those shouldn't count.) An artist's intention is subjective though.
For example, we can have a &lt;div&gt; section with the class <span style="font-family: monospace;">.series-section</span> which nests other &lt;div&gt;s with the class <span style="font-family: monospace;">.series</span>:


TL;DR we should stop connecting songs via random samples, only intentional ones. What do you guys think? - [[User:Pointaken47|Pointaken47]] ([[User talk:Pointaken47|talk]]) 15:33, 18 July 2017 (UTC)

* <span style="font-family: monospace;">'''Default:''' div.series-section div.series { width: 25%; }</span>


* Why not have create a separate page that list the samples and the songs that uses it underneath? - [[User:QueenZ|QueenZ]] ([[User talk:QueenZ|talk]]) 16:48, 26 July 2017 (UTC)
These rules would also carry over to the mobile version of the site. An extra stylesheet may need to be implemented for this to happen, but it would make the site look much cleaner and more mobile-friendly. --[[User:RGTM|xRGTMx]] ([[User talk:RGTM|talk]]) 13:58, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
