Do you think maybe the different languages ought to have different wikis, instead of being on the same pages?

I agree. --Creepyguyinblack 04:50, 13 Jul 2005 (EDT)

I changed it.

Would it be possible to make a true multi-language setup, similar to Wikipedia's? I don't know what's involved in making that work (I have a suspicion that it's not feasile here), but it's kind of annoying when half of the time Special:Random brings up a Polish page; also crosslinking articles is rather inelegant with the current system. 68.174.2.227

Categories and templates

It would make things a lot neater if we could use categories and templates to standardize the presentation of items and such. Virtually all of the information in here right now is begging to be categorized. I can't do it myself, not having any experience actually creating those, but does anyone else? Sho

• I'm putting the vehicles in a category system. This will eventually mean tearing down the Vehicle page, but for now I'll just make nondestructive changes. Sho

Agglomeration vs. subdivision

Some categories of items, such as tools, have all of their elements listed on the same page. Others, such as resources, have separate pages for everything. My gut instinct (as a Wikipedian) is to split everything into separate pages and use categories to tie them together, but I can see why we might want to keep things in big metapages - it's similar to the format found in IC guides, often the individual data aren't big enough for individual articles, and it would be loads of unrewarding data-entry grunt work. Anyone have any opinion? Sho

To Do List for Admins (jelkink and Jos Elkink, ha)

• Deal with orphan pages - I've eliminated a bunch, but there are still a lot of pages that need deleting, which I can't do. Sho
• Decide on standards - stuff like capitalization and hyphenation has been causing some trouble with duplicate pages. Sho
• It's not clear how much of the stuff here is data from Programming or Resources Department people (and therefore probably complete and correct) and how much is contributions from players like me (and therefore likely to need verification). For example, I'm not sure how much to trust the data on the ability of certain boat types to dock to each other; I feel that it looks like some types were left out, but I can't be sure. Some way of, say, putting a stamp of approval on information would be excellent. Sho

"Stamp of Approval"

A good idea would be to add notes into the discussion pages stating the information added and from what department.

Personally, I've added the information for vehicles and animals, and so should be 99.9% accurate.
