[edit] Rationale

Template for more specifically, Japanese idols. But it can be used for any foreign artist, I'd take out the Profile section for any pages not for Japanese actors. I also prefer the dates in the filmography to be in brackets after the movie title and not before.

The use of tables should be used for both filmography and discography as well as any other publications, but I'm not going to be doing it for the filmography. I'm doing mass edits of actors and it takes way too much time for me to do that. Normally actors have at least 10+ movies and then another 10+ TV dramas. But further editing by someone else would be appreciated.

A lot of pages have full profiles in the profile section. It's redundant. Even including the location of birth is redundant, but I'll include that.

References. The order for the sections should be Notes -> Footnotes -> References. But when there aren't any extra references, the Notes section should just References.

Categories was nowikied so they don't show up in the categories pages. Remove the nowiki tags. Jonmwang 22:13, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Can also use {{birth and date tag in the infobox, but I avoid doing that because it goes into the 2nd row depending how many letters are in the month. It looks messy sometimes. They should really fix that. Jonmwang 15:49, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Awards section was moved down because I'm sure people visiting the page want to find out about the artist and what works they've been in more than seeing the awards they've received. It's usually secondary to see the awards, thus why it was placed afterwards. Also the section was renamed "Film Awards and Nominations" to simply "Awards and Nominations" as a lot of these actors seem to also be artists of different genres. Also, instead of being '''Awards Won:''', it'll be ====Awards Won==== so it shows up in the content box. Jonmwang 19:49, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
