Cites on articles
I am wondering what the rule for cites on articles should be. On some articles, we do not have cites - some articles, there are cites only in descriptions / facts, and others with cites in description and history. For all World related articles, should we have cites in the history? Or just description?

I think that on event articles there should be cites in all sections, but that other articles such as 'Dog' could have no cites in the history/book mentions section since it's kinda like a character page. Events would need them still though, due to them often combining several books and not having clear book headers etc. like some of the more traditional PW pages

Any other comments?

I think that there should be cites for all articles, except for the history section of events/animals, which I think would be fine with or without cites. I still think citing the history would be better than not citing, but maybe just giving citations for each chapter instead of every page, if that makes sense. 07:06 Tue Jun 12

Actually, changing what I just said: I think that the history section for events should be cited completely. I still do think that just citing the entire chapter for animal articles' histories would be enough though. 09:02 Tue Jun 12

I am not sure what you mean by citing the "entire chapter" for animals' articles history... can you elaborate?

When I say citing it completely I mean what it is like in most event articles right now. For example, in Battle against BloodClan, in the 'battle begins' section (and other sections) " As Firestar fights the tom, the rest of LionClan spring into battle.   Firestar tries vainly searching for Scourge, knowing that victory would be easy once the leader was dead, but he was nowhere to be seen.   Firestar fights his way to the Great Rock, starting to grow tired.   He faces another rogue when Darkstripe, a former ThunderClan cat that had always showed hatred towards Firestar, shoves the tortoiseshell BloodClan cat away. Firestar initially thinks Darkstripe has finally realized his loyalties, but Darkstripe just wants to kill Firestar himself.   They fight until Graystripe, Firestar's closest friend, joins, and finally kills Darkstripe.   " Here almost every sentence is cited with a specific page number.

When I say citing a chapter, I mean something like this: (Twilight section of Dog) "


 * When Firestar assigns Ashfur as Birchpaw's mentor, he says that the warrior has dealt with loss and grief, and Squirrelflight knows that he is talking about how Brindleface has been murdered by Tigerstar as bait for the dog pack, to lure the dogs into the former ThunderClan camp.


 * When Daisy comes to ThunderClan and Daisy is afraid of Brightheart's scars, Squirrelflight thinks that she has grown accustomed to seeing the injuries Brightheart received from the dogs. Brightheart informs Daisy that she was attacked by dogs.


 * When Leafpool sees Brambleclaw in the Dark Forest with Hawkfrost and Tigerstar, and the ShadowClan leader tells his kin to be courageous, she wonders if he felt like that when he led the dog pack to ThunderClan to gain revenge.


 * Soon after, when Cloudtail tries to teach Daisy fighting moves, he tells her that she needs to know how to defend herself against creatures like foxes or dogs. Leafpool thinks that he is being patient with Daisy, and remembers that he was patient with Brighheart after she had been attacked by the dogs."

Where instead of citing every sentence with a page number, it just cites the whole paragraph with the entire chapter that dogs appeared in/were mentioned in.

So imo event articles should be cited the way the Battle against BloodClan article is cited and animal histories should be cited like in Dog, where it just gives the chapter that the dog appeared in. Sorry about that huge block of text, I hope that made more sense. If it didn't I can try to describe it better. 11:06 Thu Jun 14

Mediator page
Since it's an official role as of River of Fire, should a page be made for it? Granted, the only cat with the role is Tree, but if it's official I think it should warrant a page.

It definitely deserves a page.

Yep. Wondering if we should wait for The Raging Storm to release, but even if not, it is a role and deserves to be created.

Agreeing with everyone else. It's its own rank, it has its own blank, I don't see why it wouldn't have its own page. I don't think we'd have to wait for The Raging Storm's release, it appeared in River of Fire, which has already been released, so I'd think we could create the page whenever.

19:50, June 11, 2018 (UTC)

I agree^^ Should have a page just like all the other ranks

I definitely agree that it deserves a page. I think that we should make the page now, and if there is more information about the Mediator role in TRS, we can update the page. 07:20 Tue Jun 12

Any other comments before making the page? 15:33 Thu Jun 21

Since we just got confirmation that Tree will be the only mediator in the series, can we wait until The Raging Storm is released to see if Mediator is on the allegiances list? 02:30, July 18, 2018 (UTC)

I think we should probably go ahead and wait until the next book is released.
