If we think of something better we can change it anyhow - doing it right the first time is good, but I think it's more important this page goes up sooner than later.Quote:GethN7 wrote:Agreed, and I've already done half the work offline.Quote:Black Aeronaut wrote:
.... Hey, guys? How about a simple page titled like, I dunno... "How do I make pages?"
Because not everyone is gonna know about the markup, how it works, and other specifics. That, and the auto page creator, as we've seen, won't always work.Good idea.
What do we want to name this page, which namespace does it go in (main, Help, somewhere else), and what categories does it get ("Administrivia", "Useful Notes", both, neither, something else)?
Also important is that it should link to all the useful templates so people aren't stuck with having to code the blasted thing all the way from the ground-up. It may also be useful to have a complete page templates if we don't have them already - you know, like character page, place/landmark page, item/macguffin page, works page, trope page, etc.
Do we have pages for places/landmarks and items/macguffins? I think things like Crystal Tokyo and the Silver Moon Crystal/Ginzusho should definitely have their own pages.
Hell, I was talking to one of my brothers about the Ginzusho the other day - we came to the conclusion that it is the Perfect Macguffin because...
- It has no ill side-effects from using it, aside from demanding the life-sacrifice of the user for certain powerlevels
- Anyone can use it - possible requirement that user be magic user, but unconfirmed
- Massively powerful and multipurpose, but primarily intended for healing, restoration, and protection
