Allegiances, Cliffnotes and Galleries - Subpages?
Alright so I was talking to Cloudy earlier about this and asked her why the allegiance, gallery, and cliffnote pages weren't subpages of their respective books. That's basically what they are; extensions to the main book article that have just been given their own page. Also, the chapter pages are made as subpages, as well as the new browse pages, so it'd make sense to have them all that way. It'd require edits to a couple templates, but nothing too major would need changing except for the page names. It would also help it seem a bit more organized on category pages and just when browsing to have them as subpages. So I think we should move them. What do you guys think? 08:10, September 26, 2012 (UTC)

I'd be up for this. I've never quite understood why they're regular pages myself, and I've wondered this multiple times. I wouldn't mind changing this, since the allegiances, cliffnotes, and galleries are just more information on a certain article. We would just have to move the pages, which wouldn't be that big of a deal, since it just takes a couple of clicks.

I was wondering this a while ago, also. I think it would be a great idea to have them as subpages, like Cloudy and Paleh said, it would only take a few clicks. 02:20, September 28, 2012 (UTC)

I like this. It never really occurred to me that they weren't subpages already. I'm all for this. 21:23, October 13, 2012 (UTC)

I always did wonder this, really. I'm up for this idea definately. owo

Okay, so it appears we've come to an agreement, since there hasn't been any comments against this idea, and no comments for about a week. So, how are we going to go about moving the cliffnotes, allegiances, and galleries to subpages? Only admins can move pages, and I don't want to leave a slew of pages for them to have to delete if we simply create the new subpages, paste everything from the originals to the new pages, and mark the old page for deletion. I also don't want to pile the entire process on the shoulders of our admins to move the pages, either. Unless they're willing BD  Any suggestions..?... 03:39, October 23, 2012 (UTC)

Anybody can move pages. But just admins can suppress redirects. And at least for a little while till we get everything changed, we'll still want redirects. So we can do it fine without needing to pile a ton of work on an admin. And the redirects can stay for a while and when we know for sure everything's been changed up, we can just mark them for deletion, or even leave them in case some returning members get confused when trying to search for the page. 04:31, November 2, 2012 (UTC)

I see no issues with this, and since no one's really said anything against it, I say go ahead and move 'em. The only thing that'll need to be changed is on the templates used on the pages, and the templates, but, that isn't going to take very long.

The way in which we're going to move all the pages however depends on whether we want to use the redirects or not. I think that we shouldn't have redirects because they won't be needed for long periods of time, and people make extremely minor edits to change links from being redirects anyways. They also won't be necessary in searches either because it's still the same set of words, just with a bunch of words added on in the beginning of the title. And to add on a personal reason, I don't have the time to delete redirects, nor do I want redirects cluttering up the wiki. o3o 23:25, November 7, 2012 (UTC)

I agree with that, 'teldy. The redirects /are/ a waste of space, imho, and we have them enough with character articles. ._. I think they should just be moved to the proper page names, suppressing the redirect. But, keep in mind, if we suppress the redirect, that's something /only/ an admin can do. They're pretty much the same thing, although they're just being moved to a subpage.

I really don't wnat to leave redirects...yes, people might not be able to find the page right away, but they'll grow used to it over time. I still say we suppress the redirect. However, I don't want to over-burden our admins with this task. 23:29, November 17, 2012 (UTC)

The Forgotten Warrior/Chapter 8 ~ CBV
Okay. I think that this chapter's ready to be graded silver...? Comments? this is my first... 03:01, November 4, 2012 (UTC)

Could you shorten the plot summary a bit? 22:58, November 10, 2012 (UTC)

Done, in the sense that I got rid of unneeded sentences. 22:15, November 11, 2012 (UTC)

Can you shorten it a bit more, it's kinda long. Anyways, great job! =) 04:38, November 12, 2012 (UTC)

Still working? 19:21, November 24, 2012 (UTC)

Yup. I'm just about to shorten it a bit more, Icy. 03:42 Sunday November 25 2012

Okay. I've shortened it as much as I can. 03:49 Sunday November 25 2012

Nice work, comments before vote? 04:20, November 25, 2012 (UTC)

December FA
(we're not going to be late this time) So, comments? What do people want to do for December? Perhaps something related to winter? We can't do Moonrise, since that was already on the cover. Or, maybe we could go a different route and feature something that hasn't in a while, at least since June/July, Cats of the Clans, or another minority book, like something from the graphic novels? The only ones from them that have been chosen for featured articles are A Clan in Need and The Rise of Scourge, so there are tons to choose from.

I still like Cats of the Clans or Dark River or Into the Woods. x3 21:17, November 13, 2012 (UTC)

I don't think there's a winter themed book that we can go with this winter. But I like Dark River. 21:24, November 13, 2012 (UTC)

Has Night Whispers been FA yet, or close enough to gold standards? It takes place in the Winter. Dark River is another option, of course. 04:41, November 14, 2012 (UTC)

Nope. Night Whispers hasn't been the FA yet. Perhaps we could go with that?

I like that idea. Anyone else? 14:13, November 22, 2012 (UTC)

I support having Night Whispers as the FA of December. 14:48 Thu Nov 22

Night Whispers is fine with me. =) 15:08, November 22, 2012 (UTC)

Night Whispers seems to be the consensus, so that's what it'll be. Vote is up, guys.

Mistystar's Omen - Silver Nomination
lol this took me like three months to complete. Anyways, I finally got it done, and I realize that the summary is blank, but I was wondering if we got that from the book, or if we write that on our own. Other than that, comments? 01:20, November 22, 2012 (UTC)

I think with the e-books, we come up with our own. Go ahead and make a short one to add in. That's what I did with Hollyleaf's Story. Can you also find the cover artist?

Mistystar's Omen - Quote Nomination
Mkay, here's the quotes to go along with the nomination.

1.


 * "Who would have thought that a moth would have so much to teach me?" -Mistystar, chapter 10.

2.


 * "You sent this moth, didn't you, Stonefur? You meant this to be an omen, an omen for me that I should trust Mothwing's instincts, and not judge her for what she does not do." Mistystar, chapter 9.

3.


 * "We all do. But there's no rush for you to fill her pawsteps. With all the Clans still recovering from the drought, things should be peaceful for a while. Don't be too hard on yourself." Graymist, chapter 4.

4.


 * "I promise to be the strongest, wisest leader I can be. I will do my best to echo your loyalty for RiverClan and your courage to speak out on our behalf, and I will learn from your mistakes. I know that I don't need to prove to the other Clans that RiverClan is the strongest or the most powerful. I just want my Clanmates to be happy and at peace." Mistystar, chapter 2.

Personally, I like 2. Thoughts? 01:32, November 22, 2012 (UTC)

I love one and four. =D 01:51, November 22, 2012 (UTC)

I like one, also. 03:36, November 22, 2012 (UTC)

berry approves of number two 14:31 Thu Nov 22

I like two and four. If I had to choose, it'd be number four, however. -- 02:54, November 25, 2012 (UTC)

I adore one, two, and four. 04:00 Sunday November 25 2012
