Lost Media Wiki has been devoted to find lost media, and I thought that it would be better for us to archive media which have potentially risk of losing. Considering the current real life situations, maybe we could pay more attention to non-English media, such as Japanese media, Korean media, Chinese media from their preferred media platforms. First, we could index the non-English websites, both for better finding media and archiving them.

I very much agree with this sentiment. There's too much obsession over historically irrelevant content in these forums just because it comes from an english-speaking country. I want more focus on international lost media, there's a lot that is very historically significant that gets little to no discussion here.
"oooh, you're a- a freaked out child in the woods..."

I think that we could make a list of non-English main sites first. It would also be helpful in searching lost media.
For example, wikiwiki.jp/ is a Japanese wiki-hosting website and it could be useful to find Japanese media. Wikis like this may be a primary source to find non-English media.

As somebody who's been on the hunt for a piece of Japanese lost media for almost a year now (at least in an official capacity, technically I've known about this piece for way longer), I can see what you mean. It would also be great to have resources in the community for this sort of stuff. With Japanese content there happens to be a lot of people willing to search, but this same fervor doesn't seem to extend as much to other non-English media. There's plenty of non-english media (and non-Japanese media for that matter) I would love to see get found like El Apostle and Batman Fights Dracula.
I am a little bit of a slight piece of a miniature teeny-tiny fraction of a half-sized hob-goblin.

Maybe we could start a thread to provide the common websites (as well as non-common websites such as personal blog) for said subjects.
