Otaku "keyword"

Got rid of the Otaku entry since as was pointed out, it doesn't actually exist as a category. As wikipedia says: Be bold! We've got a complete change history and can revert things if they don't turn out well.

hummmm ..... our sempai has spoken .......

I'm not exactly sure what Rebecca is referring to, as "Otaku Theme" has been created as Category only a few days ago and has been assigned 14 entries.

(No wiki namespace for "keyword"?)

For a while I had been thinking that "Otaku Theme" would be a useful keyword but of course the program was busted and new keywords couldn't be added. After I saw that Forbin had created a new keyword, "Show within a show" (or something like that), I realized that the problem had been fixed and I could finally add it. There was no mention of the word Otaku in "By Category" so I did so and went to "Keywords Defined" (a category of FAQ) to type my definition of the term. Once there I was dismayed to see that the word Otaku was already listed. The keyword Otaku already existed but somehow it had not been applied to a single series (which I guess is why it didn't appear in "By Category"). Also, the definition of the term was so negative, so creepy, that it seemed completely at odds with my own definition, which would include silly shows like Nogizaka Haruka or LOVE Get Chu. So, I just added my definition alongside the already existing one for Otaku, plus a little note to explain what I'd done. Apparently Rebecca read this and deleted the Otaku keyword.

As Stretch says, I was referring to KeywordsDefined, where he had added the following entry for Otaku Theme here:

Otaku Theme: Titles in which one or more principal characters are rabid fans of anime or are employed in the anime/manga/video game industries. In other words, shows which would appeal to otaku since they give a glimpse of people like themselves and/or the industries that fascinate them.

(I see that "Otaku" itself is listed as a keyword here, but is not on the list of categories. Also, the definition gives a much creepier impression than the one I'm thinking of, for silly shows like LOVE Get Chu).

As for the keyword wiki namespace... there is one (if there weren't it'd say "Unknown schema: keyword"), but it seems to be broken... [Edit: fixed]

Description of "keyword" namespace added to Wiki Namespaces page.
