Discovery Wiki:General Discussion

What is this for?

A general page to propose your ideas on how this Wiki should move forward.

To post a suggestion: create new section, write everything you wish. Here you'll get more chances for your idea to be brought to life then by posting in a forum thread.

Wanted pages

Anyone with spare time please look at Special:Wantedpages and create those. The higher up they are, the more urgent it can be considered.

Please also look at the 'what links here' link on the left when creating a page, to find out what is expected to be on the page.

Infoboxes

Would anyone be willing to create a generic or specific infobox for use? I'd like to use at least a basic template as both a temporary measure and possibly basis for future, more advanced templates (on species, governments, groups, people, locations etc.)

I don't know what an infobox is, but here are some templates I use.

Infocard Data

Recently people have been "correcting" certain information, either by grammar, or description. Should we be following the infocard information or writing our own stuff? I'd like a discussion on this to sort out the procedure that we are following as there are a few different methods being used.

I'm one of those, I follow what "sounds" right, like adding "the" in front of words so it becomes smoother to read. As well as Wikipedia's capitalisation format and americanized spelling. Notice the z? Tumble-Weed ^{(ComLink) (Holocron)} 07:57, 1 June 2008 (GMT)

Manual of Style

Is there any general consensus as to whether Disco Wiki should adopt an in-universe or out-of-universe style for articles such as those on characters? Thus far, I've been doing IU categories and descriptions, akin to Wookieepedia and many other Wikia.
