That Yi Ge Ren thing would probably be Science Fiction, because SciFi is a pretty good umbrella term. Overall genres are silly things that people use to only restrict themselves from literary freedom and bind their stories to an archtype of cliche. Screw genresUser:Serprex 14:44, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Even Science Fiction can be a cliché. Check the stories where my uncle builds a Time Travel machine, there are tons of this, even the great Asimov wrote one short story with the "uncle" theme. The Time Travel is always the same, most times to the past not to the future, the person finds his double and so on... The End of Eternity is the only book that is not cliché. And there is these type of stories of Interestellar Travel, which Lucky Starr series must be the cliché everybody copy; check Star Trek and those.... And the other cliché is the story about a bioproject, always the same thing... Of course there are some stories that don't follow the cliché, but Science Fiction by itself does not mean it is exempt from that... IMHO, 15:55, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Oh, and I re-read your post and it seems you were treating Science Fiction like all genres. If that is the case, forget what I said... 15:59, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

99% Fythring, tell me the maximum number of stories per genre, 100, 150?

100% At last! If it is too unbelievable check this page: Forum:Archives_MakeoverTest, I already converted all Fantasy stories! I am uploading the program right now, I will give you the website address soon... 21:51, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

You can download it here: http://pwp.etb.net.co/dokuser/WikiConv.html

Basic instructions:

1. You paste the data on the left textbox 2. Click convert 3. Copy the data from the right textbox 4. Paste it on Fiction Wikia

If you find any errors tell me, because I only tested in on Fantasy Archives... The errors are if it closes itself or if it does not convert up to the last story. Then you tell me where I can copy the same data you entered, for me to correct it...

Strange, I tested it on Windows XP. Go to the chat and tell me step by step... 22:48, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

If you can test it on another computer, from an Internet room or something... Or tell Nonimportant or some user from here, I tested on my home on three computers and it works fine.

What does the exact error say, besides the faulty configuration? Maybe an error number? I think maybe you have to download Microsoft's .NET framework, but I am not sure. This is the only thing I can imagine, for now... 23:06, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

I found the error, I just had thought that featured articles had Yes instead. It is fixed now, redownload

I found another, on 2084 story, my program does not understand multiple links, it only stands 1, so 2084 must have only one link for it to work.

And if the program finds any story it does not understand, it just continues with the rest of them, not stopping like it did. When there are stories not converted, the title of the window informs about it...

P.S. Post the comments here, I don't like to check 2 user_talks...

And I uploaded it for the third time (the changes include getting to the end even if the program bypasses some stories), so plese redownload it again.

The new version bypasses the errors and at the end gives a report where we can see the formatting and maybe we can fix it... I tested with Science Fiction and there are only 5 stories the ones the program does not understand, because they have extra characters on it. See:



As you can see on the shot, the errors are for using something more that The Title.

Congratulations, you converted the Science Fiction category!

Percent and author were not on the original format so, what else can I do?...
