Discovery Wiki:General Discussion
If you would like to reopen discussion on an archived topic, please create a new section here rather than posting in the archive.
This is a general page to propose your ideas on how this Wiki should move forward.
To post a suggestion: create a new section, and write everything you wish. Here you'll get more chances for your idea to be brought to life than by posting in a forum thread.
Year pages
Wikipedia has pages for each year that lists general information, events, and so on. I think this could be a highly useful addition to this wiki, making it easier not only for people to investigate the history of Sirius but also for people to add more historical information.
As a player faction founder, I had considerable trouble piecing together the vanilla history of the NPC faction. I had to take the pre-release history from the House design document, keyword search through infocards and rumors (often by year), and fill in blanks myself. It would have been far easier if there were historical events listed in a relatively sequential manner, such as on a timeline.
A wiki based timeline would, I think, be a fantastic resource for any community member who is researching for a character, ship, story, faction, curiosity, or free cake.
I say we start making links out of years A.S. and encourage people to add information. If this is a success, we may need some sort of citation policy.

I have begin working on this.
I suggest we stick to a minimum of pages before we finalize the system and policy. The ones I am doing at the moment:
One question, albeit minor, is whether we should use "first" as opposed to "1st" for century pages and categories. I am leaning toward "first," myself, but will wait to change anything until I get some input.
Please post here with any ideas, feedback, suggestions, questions, concerns, or cake. This will likely work out better if I don't end up doing it by myself.
