==[[Kusari Politics 101]] (DELETED)==
 
The page has been renamed and the redirect should not be needed.

==[[IMG Gunboat]] (DELETED)==
 
The page has been renamed and the redirect should not be needed.

[[User:Nodwick|Nodwick]] 10:34, 15 May 2008 (GMT)
 
 
==[[Independent Player Factions]] (DELETED)==
 
The page is a broken redirect leading to [[Hispania Player Factions]], which has been deleted.
 
 
It is the target of a redirect from [[Independant Player Factions]] (spelling mistake) itself, so that should be deleted, too.
 
 
[[User:Nodwick|Nodwick]] 10:55, 15 May 2008 (GMT)
 
== [[Omega Pirates Guild]] (RESOLVED)==
 
The page is only a placeholder, but its existance makes links there show up blue. This makes people think there would be information. Such pages should be deleted, I think.
 
 
[[User:Nodwick|Nodwick]] 08:11, 19 May 2008 (GMT)
 
 
You think correct. I'm not wiki savvy enough to send you a message, but I updated the page. Thanks for the warning.
 
 
The above, unsigned entry was made by [[User:Exsiled|Exsiled]].
 
 
The contents have been massively updated. No more need to delete the page.
 
 
[[User:Nodwick|Nodwick]] 17:57, 19 May 2008 (GMT)
 
 
==[[Cruise disruptor]] & [[Cruise Disruptor]] (DELETED)==
 
The page has been renamed and the redirect should not be needed.<br>
 
Edit: Just a suggestion. It might be useful to have a couple of redirects to [[Cruise Disruptors]], considering the different ways people spell them.

==[[Faction:Kusari Naval Forces]] (DELETED)==
 
The page is just a placeholder, does not fit the naming convention, and is not even linked.
 
 
[[User:Nodwick|Nodwick]] 07:41, 20 May 2008 (GMT)
 
 
==[[Class 4 weapons]] (DELETED)==
 
Renamed to [[Class 4 Weapons]]. Redirect not needed.
 
All ships will be updated to reflect change. It's possible
 
this early on for the ships, because there are not many ships.
 
 
[[User:Chovynz|Chovynz]] 07:32, 27 May 2008 (GMT)
 
 
==[[Liberty Assault Cruiser]] (DELETED)==
 
Delete Please. Redirected to [[Liberty Assault Battlecruiser]].
 
 
[[User:Chovynz|Chovynz]] 08:34, 28 May 2008 (GMT)
 
 
==Original pages not needed (DELETED)==
 
I suggest we delete these pages:
 
[[Banshee (original)]], [[Bloodhound (original)]], [[Defender (original)]], [[Dragon (original)]]
 
I think any "Original" information can be easily found by other means. This wiki is all about the Discovery Mod, not Vanilla Freelancer. Having these pages available has the potential for confusion and just doubles up information. As such I am removing the reference to the different versions in the Discovery version pages.
 
 
[[User:Chovynz|Chovynz]] 08:34, 7 July 2008 (GMT)
 
 
==[[Cowbell]] (DELETED)==
 
Please delete this no longer needed weapons template test page.
 
 
[[User:Chovynz|Chovynz]] 23:32, 17 July 2008 (GMT)
 
 
 
==[[Manhatten]] (DELETED)==
 
Wrong article name. It redirects to Planet Manhattan. The originating link has been changed to point to Manhattan
 
 
[[User:Looqas|Looqas]] 13:04, 11 September 2008 (GMT)
 
 
 
==[[Jump_hole]] (DELETED)==
 
It's an age old leftover after "renaming" the article to Jump Hole. NOTE: The small 'h'!
 
[[User:Looqas|Looqas]] 07:33, 12 September 2008 (GMT)
 
 
==[[Cartographers]] (DELETED)==
 
Please delete. Unofficial group was disbanded. [[User:Chovynz|Chovynz]] 20:49, 18 September 2008 (GMT)
 
 
==[[Reapers of Sirius]] (DELETED)==
 
Page empty. Please delete so the editors can have the red link back.[[User:Chovynz|Chovynz]] 20:54, 18 September 2008 (GMT)
 
 
==[[Phantom]] & [[Phantom (Ship)]] (DELETED AND MOVED)==
 
Please delete [[Phantom]]. Please rename [[Phantom (Ship)]] to the newly deleted [[Phantom]]. Ship titles should not have "(Ship)" in them. Previous phantom disambig page moved to [[Phantom (disambiguation)]]. [[User:Chovynz|Chovynz]] 21:25, 18 September 2008 (GMT)
 
 
==[[Mercenary]] & [[Mercenaries]] (RESOLVED)==
 
<s>Need to pick one or the other. I suggest removing the singular and/or making it a redirect to the plural.</s> <br>On a second look we might as well redirect both to the [[ID#Mercenary_ID|Mercenary ID]] and make the two pages a redirect.[[User:Chovynz|Chovynz]] 00:22, 19 September 2008 (GMT)
 
:Well, leaving these two pages as they are for now and flagging it as resolved then. --[[User:Blodo|Blodo]] 19:03, 20 September 2008 (GMT)
 
 
== [[Shimmer]] (DELETED) ==
 
Please delete. Info transfered to User page.
 
 
[[User:Chovynz|Chovynz]] 17:24, 13 December 2008 (MST)
 
 
==[[Armor]]==
 
Pre-empting any deletion requests here.
 
I moved [[Armour]] to [[Armor]] to keep consistent spelling with American English. Please keep the UK spelling page title as a redirect so that people who search for the UK version, end up at the same place.

Category:Xenoarchaelogy

Misspelt. Content has been moved to Category:Xenoarchaeology. Nathrael 16:48, 26 May 2009 (MDT)

Category:Diplomacy Templates

These templates have been made obsolete by Template:Faction Diplomacy.

-- Eyvind (talkcontrib) 04:37, 24 February 2009 (MST)

There are still 3 redirection pages that have not yet been deleted:

-- Eyvind (talkcontrib) 11:47, 13 May 2009 (MDT)

Template:Allies

This template is not a template and has been made obsolete by Template:Faction Diplomacy. This "template" is in use on most faction pages, but since that's simply transcribed wiki markup this page is useless. We will need to replace usage occurances of this "template" with Template:Faction Diplomacy

-- Eyvind (talkcontrib) 04:40, 24 February 2009 (MST)

I wouldn't say it's obsolete by Template:Faction Diplomacy, as the new template is far too large to be properly used for every NPC faction in my opinion (iirc it was intended for player factions anyways). I would not replace the old one with this one - the old one is doing a fine job and I don't think it would look good if we had full rep sheets on every page that make up 80% of it's content. Template:Faction Diplomacy is nice, but I think it should one be used on player faction pages.:: Nathrael :: Talklink Datalink Commlink

Let me repeat myself, it is not a template. The wiki markup has just been copied to the different pages. Therefore it makes no practical difference if we delete the template. Also, I agree with you that Template:Faction Diplomacy has a tendency to become too large. But to be fair, so does Template:Allies if used in the same way. It is a problem with both solutions. To fix this problem, I have proposed a way of using Template:Faction Diplomacy in a better way on Template talk:Faction Diplomacy. As far as design goes, Template:Faction Diplomacy has more potential to be a universal diplomacy template, so for the sake of consistency I highly recommend that we focus on improving it rather than using multiple separate templates. -- Eyvind (talkcontrib) 09:40, 28 February 2009 (MST)

I originally intended this to do the things that the Template:Faction Diplomacy does. This was created before the parser functions were installed on the wiki. It was going to work inside another template, in a psuedo-collapsible allies list. The new one does the job fine. The only thing I would mention is that the New one does not need to list all factions. It will depend on the faction that the New one is used on. I support this being deleted. Chovynz 22:01, 13 June 2009 (MDT)

Category:Kirche die Grunnen Alders followers

Not only horribly misspelled (it should be "Kirche des Grünen Adlers") but also, in my opinion, not really necessary; I think for now, until the Wiki grows, a "People" category is more than enough. Nathrael 03:12, 17 March 2009 (MDT)

I don't see a problem with having more categories, even if they are a bit under-used. In my opinion, this category should be placed under Category:People and the name fixed, but not deleted. On the same note, various other people related categories (Category:Faction Leaders and Other Notable Player Characters, and several more, see Special:Categories) should be made subcategories of Category:People -- Eyvind (talkcontrib) 10:07, 21 April 2009 (MDT)

KuriosTalkLibbyB

This is a ship proposal which has gained no support on the forums, not a bad idea on use of the wiki but should only be used for ongoing projects, not initial proposals. Tazuras 21:39, 20 April 2009 (MDT)

User Talk page? Kurios 09:46, 21 April 2009 (MDT)

I have moved the page to where it should be and where I believe Kurios intended it to be: User:Kurios/LibbyB -- Eyvind (talkcontrib) 10:01, 21 April 2009 (MDT)

EFL Oil and Machinery

It's a duplicate page I made by accident due to a broken link, just delete it please Tazuras 15:40, 26 April 2009 (MDT)

Rheinland Federal Police Test

Should have been moved but was instead copied (trvial beginner mistake), no reason for this page to exist anymore. -- Eyvind (talkcontrib) 08:38, 15 June 2009 (MDT)

Category:Rheinland Gunboats

Empty category. --TsaryuTalk 08:55, 22 June 2009 (MDT)
