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)

Weapons/Turrets Sorting

I've just filled in all the content on the missiles page, but have inadvertantly unearthed another issue. Re: Missile Turrets, I propose these turrets list as part of the "Class X Turrets" pages (which I am workin on collecting data to fill in - any help there would be appreciated). They sort better based on class - i.e. ship type - than the fact that these turrets fire missiles. Especially when you've got to factor in other turret types (Flak, Razor, etc.) If people are interested we could still have a Missile Turrets links page with sortable table (sort of a double-up), but I would just do a simple disambig page linking to the different classes. What are people's feelings on this and the current organization of the weapons listings? JRawk 23:45, 21 December 2008 (MST)
