That was my idea too.

I'd have to see the backing framework for the wiki, but if it's the same as Wikia, or any other big wiki, there should be capabilities for scripting.
They work with a wiki scripting language and css code.

The main idea is that there's actually a big table with all the data loaded as part of the page, but then the data is presented in a couple of layers that only show a row or two, and a set of buttons that update the data shown.
It's the same (well, not the same, but very similar) thing as those InfoBoxes with tabs: You actually have all N tabs loaded, but you're only hown one at a time.

As for the card pictures. just having them link to another page isn't acceptable. It's actually also against the ToS to do that. My potential idea what to wrap the 18+ content in a BB code that can only be seen by those with member status, gained at 20 posts. I don't really like having to do that, but if you want them there, that would be the only option. Otherwise, if these networks come here and see those, game over.

Can 2. and 3. not be combined into one card detail page? Just have it list other appearances or something.
The special BBCode for registered players might be the best solution for the hentai lexicon.

While 2 and 3 can be all mashed into a single page (and it will actually be done like that for 95% of the cards), for gals with multiple cards the best idea is to decouple the gal from the cards, mainly because it later becomes a nightmare to mantain the wiki whenever something must be added to a gal (or card). It's a software coding thing (well, it's also a database normalization thing).

The idea would be to have three page templates:
  1. Page with both card and gal data (For the 95% of gals with only one card)
  2. Page with only card data (For the 5% of gals with multiple cards)
  3. Page with only gal data (For the 5% of gals with multiple cards)

Then, any link to the card/gal will refer to the corresponding page.

This kind of thing is a PITA to design/implement at the beginning, when it means double/triple effort from us; but it later translates into less maintenance work (25% to 75% less work per page).
Remember that we might need to build a lot right now, but in a couple of months 90% of the work made on the wiki will be maintenance/extension of pages.
