Welcome to The Bunker! This page is for discussion about the BoC Wiki itself: policies, structures, rules, ideas, suggestions, etc. This page is inspired by Wikipedia's Village Pump, which serves a similar purpose there.
To use this page:
- Respond to a comment by adding your response beneath it and adding colons (:) in front of each line to indent it.
- Start a new topic by it to the bottom of this page.
- Sign your comment by ending it with ~~~~. This will automatically add your username and date.
Introductions
Hello, I'm Moebius. I am also on WATMM and Twoism (with the same username) as well as the Yahoo! group (as pimlottc). I first heard BoC around early 1997 and have been a strong fan since MHtRtC. My wiki background comes from using Wikipedia, where I try to keep the BoC pages under control (also as pimlottc). I'm a bit of a perfectionist, so I would love for the BoC wiki to one day become the most comprehensive repository of all things BoC. Moebius 20:25, 31 August 2006 (CEST)
Formatting
I come from Wikipedia, so I am used to many of the ways they do things. In general, I think we should follow their guidelines in terms of style and formatting. In particular, WikiProject Music (and sub projects for albums and songs) has some good guidelines for how to format albums, songs, track listings, etc. In general:
- Album titles goes in italics: Music Has the Right to Children, Trans Canada Highway
- Song titles go in "quotes": "Roygbiv", "Farewell Fire", "Chinook"
Take a look at those guidelines. If we can all agree with them, I think we should make them standard for the wiki. Moebius 20:36, 31 August 2006 (CEST)
- I couldn't agree more because I do like structure and uniformness a lot as well.
- I think we should stick to these guidelines. Fredd-E 20:48, 31 August 2006 (CEST)
Main Page/Structure
We don't have a very good Main Page yet; since we're lacking a decent navigable structure, I just added a link to Special:Allpages. Moebius 20:44, 31 August 2006 (CEST)
Help pages
One thing we could use is some help pages, many of the mediawiki meta-pages like help are just blank by default. I put some content into Help:Editing from meta.wikipedia.org. Wikipedia also has a pretty good tutorial for new users we should link to, it's pretty general and not too heavy on Wikipedia-specific stuff. Moebius 21:08, 31 August 2006 (CEST)
