Chat Template?
As proposed a while ago, it seems like having a template for chats would be good, to say, "spruce up the page" as right now, they seem a bit dull and a bit confusing with just information listed, right? Anyways, I realize that most of the Erin Hunter Chats are a lot of chit-chat and rumors, but any suggestions on how to make the pages be more informative? =) 01:43, January 7, 2012 (UTC)

I think there should be one, one thing, it can say the date the chat took place. 01:47, January 7, 2012 (UTC)

Maybe a screenshot of the chat for a picture? Try to get one where there is mostly questions and answers, not opinions and chatter. Or a picture of the erin who answered the questions? Or just a thing saying something about the chat (This chat took place on ... and was answered by ... and so and so). In the infomation, we could have something saying the date, the Erin there, the people asking the questions, how long it went for, and some feedback of the chat (?) 02:13, Sat, Jan, 7, 2012

I like DJ's idea, of a picture of the chat. 22:06 Sun Jan 8

Hmm, I like the idea of having a date, the Erin who answered, etc. The pictures I'm a bit on the fence about just because we have so many images already for characters and the screenshots would be a bit choppy as a lot of the chat is just gossip. x3 22:38, January 8, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, :3 that's why I said if we can, get one where it is mainly Q's and A's. 01:51, Mon, Jan, 9, 2012

I don't really think a screenshot is the best idea for a picture...Also, a part where it says who out of the Erins was at the chat. 01:21, January 12, 2012 (UTC)

Yes, I'm still against the idea of having a screenshot, however, you can provide an example to sway us, DJ. :3 On the other hand, I think something like the Prey template would look good. It would provide information in an organized manner while still catching a reader's eye. 01:27, January 21, 2012 (UTC)

The prey template's a good choice, I'll agree with something like that. 01:14, January 25, 2012 (UTC)

No I don't really have an example. :3 I agree that the prey template will be good too. 01:59, Wed, Jan, 25, 2012

Just to let you all know, I don't think that there should be a picture. There's no point for one. 02:04, February 3, 2012 (UTC)

So something such as this: We can add more to it, but this is just a basic idea. 18:37, February 3, 2012 (UTC)

I agree with Atelda. 23:43, Fri, Feb, 3, 2012

Hang on, sorry but do you mean in replace of what is on the prey template (the question, answer, outcome)? If yes then would we just have one question asked, the answer to the question and the outcome of the chat? (Please explain more) I still think it's a good idea. 08:09, Sun, Feb, 5, 2012

Okay, now you're somewhat confused me. Anyways, if this is going to be made into a template, there's going to be what the question was, then the answer, and then whether the answer was true or not. If the answer is true, then the "outcome:" input would not be used. 21:25, February 5, 2012 (UTC)

You're starting to confuse me now. >.< So is this going to be going on the top right side of the page like the charcat on character articles? Or will it be for each bit of infomation revealed, we have a template next to the textof it? Or will it be just a whole lot of templates in the sections it goes under with the question, answer and outcome? I started doing a basic plan of what I see here :3. 06:02, Mon, Feb, 6, 2012

It's gonna be for each question and answer, it's not like a charcat. =3 -- 06:05, February 6, 2012 (UTC)

Oh, no wonder it didn't make sence. xD So wouldn't the pages be quite long as we're going to have all these templates everywhere. 05:15, Tue, Feb, 7, 2012

So long as it's filled with information in an organized fashion, I don't mind how long it is. The Prey page is fantastic and it's huge! x3 04:43, February 8, 2012 (UTC)

Okay, I'm fine now after my random confusion. xD So for a picture in replace of the no image, how big would it need to be ([Number]x[Number])? 07:10, Wed, Feb, 8, 2012

This sounds like a good idea to me.

There's really no need for a picture as was discussed earlier. 18:20, February 12, 2012 (UTC)

Soo...how do you like it? If everyone likes it who comments within the next 5-10 days, we'll start putting it in use. :) 03:21, February 22, 2012 (UTC)

I like it. It seems you've got the coding all sorted out. ;) 07:58, 22, 02, 2012

As I said on chat, it's wonderful. -- 03:24, February 23, 2012 (UTC)

Maximum?
I noticed that there was nothing in the guidelines about this, but should we have a miximum amount of nominations up on this page? It's kind of unfair considering how little pages go into the Reality Project. (Around 25-30) I was thinking maybe 2 up for silver nominations? Anyways, yeah. Thanks, 16:18 Sat Feb 11

Two is fine for a maximum, so long as the user can handle it. 16:30, February 11, 2012 (UTC)

Hmm...I'm thinking either 2 or 3 for the maximum. When we can spruce up the pages of non-people articles, we'll actually have many to do, as we also have Online Phandom. I was thinking myself, that we put a time limit to how long nominations can stay only for a certain amount of time or they will be archived. Not sure if it's the best idea, but I think we could give it a go. -- 16:56, February 11, 2012 (UTC)

The time limit, I see is a month. Otherwise it's archived. Anyways, I'd be more in favor of two as there is a lot of outside research to do with this project. If a user is available to do three, something might be dropped in the expansion of the articles. 20:47, February 11, 2012 (UTC)

I agree having 2-3 nominations up at the max, and 1 month to get it up to silver until it's archived/declined. I think if the nominator hasn't commented in a week and a half maybe then someone could take over/declined to lack of work? 01:49, Sun, Feb, 12, 2012

This sounds reasonable.

So...Everyone agrees, so should this be put into the guidelines? 06:35, February 21, 2012 (UTC)

I think so. 06:12, 26, 02, 2012

Online Phenomenon Infobox
I've been thinking...Since Online Phenomenon pages are PR pages, how about we create an infobox for sites? So far, For role-play site articles, we can make an infobox that reveals this information:

There will be game information in the infobox.


 * Name of website:
 * Picture of Website logo:
 * Website link:
 * Website abbreviation:
 * Type of role-play website (modified canon for an example):
 * Website Staff:
 * Date founded:

This is for role-play websites though, I'll think of ideas for others, and I'll work on the infobox, if I need to make an example. Thoughts, comments, and ideas? 18:50, February 11, 2012 (UTC)

It's a good idea. Have it somewhat like the Clan articles, or even character articles. We'd need to get into contact with the founders of the fanfiction websites, though that's not much of a problem. 20:47, February 11, 2012 (UTC)

I agree too. I'm not all that good with online fan stuff and everything, but I think this will work. 01:54, Sun, Feb, 12, 2012

Here is the model. The first infobox. 04:41, February 12, 2012 (UTC)

That looks good, but I'm not sure what to add.

Maybe add under important dates close date if appliable. 05:25, 27, 02, 2012

Yet another infobox
Again, another idea for an infobox. This is for the official sites page. Look at the second infobox here. So, my idea is this:


 * That a infobox could be placed in each section of a website on the official sites page.

Thoughts, comments, and ideas? -- 04:41, February 12, 2012 (UTC)

This makes sense to me, but shouldn't there be like a category for what type of website it is?

Sounds good, I'll add that into the model to see how it would look like. 18:23, February 12, 2012 (UTC)

That looks good.Just curious, why is this necessary? Is it for orginization? Just not quite clear on that.

Yes, organization. If we can spruce up the reality pages more, then we are able to nominate them. 18:38, February 12, 2012 (UTC)

Okay thanks.

I agree this is good. 05:35, Mon, Feb, 13, 2012

It's a bit more than sprucing up pages to nominate. Its so we have a clear understanding of how certain Reality pages should be laid out. As for the template, I'm a bit wary on the charcat box style. It seems overwhelming when there are 4+ of those templates on just one page. Take note that each official site can not stand as it's own article due to the small possibilities of information we can put on those articles. 23:52, February 14, 2012 (UTC)

Hmm...I thought that an infobox would be much. I rethought it, and since the official sites page is more like the prey page, we can have a template like the prey one. 17:39, February 17, 2012 (UTC)

I agree to have something like the prey template. <span style="">00:32, 25, 02, 2012

I agree with DJ.

Er...Here's my idea. Comments? Thoughts? Ideas? -- 21:31, February 25, 2012 (UTC)

Great job Stoney! We'll need to organise the coding though. <span style="">06:07, 26, 02, 2012

It is simple, but right now, it's coded from scratch, which is not how we're going to use it. I added parameters, which is simple, so users can just fill in the info, not code it out. This is the complete set of coding that will be added on to the template page. Once it's on the template page, when we add the template, it'll be simple 'cause it uses parameters. Sorry if I didn't explain, well, but that's what I mean. 06:04, March 1, 2012 (UTC)

Also, the image we could put can be the logo of the website. 21:56, March 2, 2012 (UTC)

I like the idea of that Stoney. <span style="">01:00, 03, 03, 2012

Same here. 01:04, March 3, 2012 (UTC)

James Barry - Silver Nomination
Added his biography, several more books, and citations. 15:50, February 17, 2012 (UTC)

Can you try expanding the bio? If not, then it's fine. This is excellent. 16:45, February 17, 2012 (UTC)

Is there any way you can obtain information regarding his DoB and all that fun stuff? If you can't, I could try and locate some of it for you. 07:51, February 18, 2012 (UTC)

Try to find an image and a DoB. Otherwise it looks good.

M'kay, any information on his age, birth, or family is concealed from me. I've added an image and the biography can't really be expanded. 06:05, February 26, 2012 (UTC)

Excellent. CBV? 23:53, February 28, 2012 (UTC)

It looks good to me. 23:12, February 29, 2012 (UTC)

No offence, but Ches, when a lead says CBV, if you have nothing for improvement to say, then just don't comment. <span style="">05:52, 01, 03, 2012

Vote is up! 22:07, March 2, 2012 (UTC)

Erin Hunter ~ Silver Nomination
I hope it's fine to nominate this. It needs some work, but I added references and expanded Vicky's and Tui's section. Comments? 02:40, March 1, 2012 (UTC)

Maybe expand Vicky and Tui a bit more? It's fine if there isn't much to add. 23:09, March 1, 2012 (UTC)

Can you add more references for the Author's section? If not, I understand. <span style="">00:49, 03, 03, 2012
