Warriors Wiki talk:Books

Canon
Hey so I found this page floating around with no project on it, and it seemed more PB oriented than anything so I thought to pop it in here. Ik it's with the category of Role Play Phenomenon, and everything else from there has been deleted, but... couldn't it be revamped? I wanted to pose the question here of whether it should be deleted like the rest of the category, or made a part of PB and revamped/ add new stuff and such. Thoughts?

Yea, I agree with that. It is information for the reader and it should be in PB. 14:55, 4/22/2017 14:55, April 22, 2017 (UTC)ggC1ND3R_STR1P3

Me too. It does contain many PB-related articles. --  17:35, April 29, 2017 (UTC)

I think it should be revamped and made part of PB. 16:14 Sun May 7

It looks like everyone supports the page being revamped. Any other comments? 23:34 Sun May 14

Okay, looks like everyone agrees to revamping it. How should we go about it? I say we keep what's there + add the facts that we now take stuff from Kates blog and Vicky + add cites for the definition of canon from wikipedia, and maybe include a dropdown or some kind of image/graphic/template depicting the series, the canon books, or just something else significant. Just something book related to tie it to PB.

Head's up, I got a nice idea for this, but I'm at work and can't type it up. I'll comment more after my doctor's appointment later. Just letting y'all know to hold off for a little bit so I can chime in.

OKAY a few days late, but sorry, things came up. I think we could revamp the page, but I'm not totally sure what exactly we'd be taking from Kate's blog or Vicky's Facebook pages? Would we take them saying what information is canon and all of that? Because honestly, it wouldn't hurt to at least mention the role play aspect, but mention that this is a place for strict canon information only? Having a definition of what canon is, what counts as a valid canon source, ect, would be an excellent idea. I'm not sure, though, exactly how big you'd want this page to be? We could actually tie it into all projects and just keep it as a general "canonical information" page, or something along those lines... it doesn't have to be just for PB if all projects can benefit from it.

Ah yeah, I meant saying on the page that we take info from Kate's Blog/Vicky's Facebook as canon, and all of that. It'd almost act as a cite guide, even though it isn't really one. I like the idea of tying it into all of the projects, but I also think it should be linked to one project in particular to receive a silver grade. Perhaps that project should be PR instead of PB, though, if we're including more real life aspects than not.

Yes, that's basically what I meant. Although, if we're going to shift this to PR, I would highly suggest having everything ready first, due to PR often being forgotten and too small to get maybe more than a comment or two. A page like this should...really have more than one or two agreeing comments and an actual discussion. Icy is also without a computer for a little while, so I'd suggest also going to poke her once you've decided what to do with it, that way she knows to comment. Does anyone have a rough draft of what they'd want it to look like, or are we going to follow the layout used on other pages?

Poking my head in and mentioning I am still without a laptop so please don't yell at me. But may I be messaged once you all have a good idea of where the conversation is going? I will not be able to check the Wiki as often. 02:35, June 23, 2017 (UTC)

Yeah of course we can message you :)^^ My idea for the format was a version of Warriors Books in that we have a blurb up top that says something like 'Canon is what is considered real.. etc. and is determined by x, y, or z' and that we have different sections and sub-sections for each topic. Those topics could be like what cites we take, specifically which wording of cites we take from Vicky's Facebook and Kate's Blog, and then what counts from the books, erin hunter chats, etc. and stuff.

Are there any more comments on this? 01:29, July 27, 2017 (UTC)

Nominations and Credit
Hey guys. Looking over the PC talk page, I am thinking that maybe it is a good idea if someone who wants to nominate something yet has not edited the article / has seen another person edit a majority of the article should maybe ask that person if they want to nominate it prior to them. I see often "credit to the people who have worked on it", but we do not name them, and I believe we should ask them so it is not like we are taking their work from them. And I do understand that one of you will say "they should have nominated it first" but it is quite likely they forgot, and I really believe they should have a chance at nominating it considering they worked on it mostly. 06:46, August 29, 2017 (UTC)

If someone has been active in the past 60 days (approx. two months), then I think they should be asked if they want the nomination. A friendly nudge has never hurt anyone, and if they don't answer after...say, a week? Then I'd say it's fair game to anyone who wants it.

I agree with above, and I think regardless of case, you should always name the user that did the majority of the work on it. Most people do say "credit to those who worked on it", but it has struck me lately that many don't mention the author. Even if the author doesn't get to nominate it for whatever reason (whether that be them going inactive or forgetting) they do deserve the credit for writing that, because a tweaker is just a tweaker.

I propose that we add this into the rules. 19:07, September 17, 2017 (UTC)

Suits me^^ Tbh we should always at least try to list the major contributors + ask if they want the credit if they've been active recently

How about, "If you plan to nominate an article, or have already done so, and have seen that it has been completed by another user or a group of other users, you must credit them in your nomination, or it will be considered invalid."? 17:54, October 1, 2017 (UTC)

Minor character list has an extra bullet, mentioned's template appears to be not working, and say is misspelled as aay in the last paragraph.

fixed. 16:12, 10/08/2017

minor list still has that extra bullet. also, remove the stub template, and, if you can find one, add a main quote?
