Talk:Main Page

I think with the amount of new information we are receiving from looking at internal documents/game files/etc, it's a good idea to have a set of priority naming conventions to follow. I've seen other wikis with them but can't find any right now, so here's my idea for what it should be:

Not Conjecture

1. In-game info boxes (pop-ups, collection counters, menu pages)

2. In-game dialogue (characters referring to things)

3. Promotional Materials (websites, commercials, boxart)

4. Game files

5. Internal Documents (GDDs, leaks, etc.)

Conjecture (don't add category)

6. Descriptive names of new entries in old species (i.e. Masked Bonobo, Green Baki) edited to add this entry

Conjecture (add category)

7. Popular fan names (i.e. Anchorpus, Fiora, Lambert)

8. Descriptive names (i.e. Baki Miner, Helmet Dragon)

Typically, 1. and 2. will overlap, but in the strange case where some villagers call Galactic Jungle "Space Jungle" and a RapoGirl mentions "Fortune", 1. should be prioritized. I would put 3. above both of those, but with a Teeter on the boxart of Two Realms (and my distrust of 505 with this franchise), it feels better suited under in-game things. 4. and 5. will also typically overlap, but Internal Documents typically use dev names for things, while the game files tend to be closer to the final names of entities. Once we leave the realm of internal documents, I feel like that's when we should start adding the "Article Conjecture" category to pages.

What do you guys think of this new system? It's going to me my methodology from here on out, and I plan on renaming some pages tomorrow to higher ranked names (i.e. Mecha Baki (7) --> Clockwork Baki (4) ), so please let me know if you guys have any suggestions.

I suggest the credits for TR be added to the Two Realms page. It doesn't seem to be available in text form anywhere on the web yet, as far as I can tell.

Hey, y'all. I'm currently performing a rewrite of the Infoboxes used on the Wiki. The first one I'm working on is the Character Infobox, and the rework can be seen here: Template:Infobox/Character/New

What changes, visual or functional, would you like to see to any of the infoboxes we currently use on the wiki? Though I'm currently working on the Character one, I'd love to hear changes we could make to the rest of of our infoboxes.

Oooh! Awesome! Maybe we could add a skin color section? Particularly for the human characters?

The only other "change" I can think of for the character infobox is the role section. That section takes on everything from whether a character is a protagonist/antagonist/etc, to what that character's job is. I think we should really figure out a specific purpose for it. Maybe we could even split it into two sections? One for their role(s) in the games (we'd have to make a definitive list of roles though. Like (main) Protagonist, (main) antagonist, side character, background character, etc), and another optional section for their job(s).

Those are great ideas! One thing I want to do this time around is have the Infobox detect the input for the gender section, and use that to determine if a separate "Hair color" section should be added. This can easily be expanded to provide similar functionality for Human characters by having the Infobox detect that input.

As for the role section... I agree 100%. I'm not sure how to do it yet, but your suggestion sounds really solid.

Feature will be added in time

So I've noticed that the music doesn't seem to be organized the way it was pre-domain switch. Should we make a page for all the music tracks in the game to compiled on?

We could, if I'm understanding correctly.

I don't know how to make my own templates, and I figured that if we were to do anything like that in the future, we'd want a template for that. For now, I'm adding music files onto their corresponding pages, which is probably something we'd want to do regardless.
