Research Realm:Discussion archives

WIP, stuff just copied from discord convos for now I'm actually going to make this an archive of discussions about the site's goals and have an edited page elsewhere.

This channel is for discussing anything related to the Wiki, such as writing articles, editing articles, correcting articles, contributing etc.

This description will update if we have some sort of style guide. For now, the guidelines so far are:

• Stay objective. No subjective sentences or opinions. Certain smaller jokes might be okay.
• Create new wiki pages for a topic when there is a decent amount of information on it. For example, we have a lot of information about Rock Raiders' prototypes, so they should only be described briefly on the "Rock Raiders" theme's page, but expanded on a dedicated "Rock Raiders prototypes" page (name pending)
• The structure of the Wiki should follow a hierarcy, similar to Bricklink. You should be able to navigate from a page about 1999 as a year down to a Rock Raiders part that was released in that year. As an example, the Rock Raiders theme could branch like this:

• Rock Raiders (Theme)

• Minifigures
  • Chief (one page per character)
  • Axle
  • More minifigs...
• Sets
  • Main sets (each set in the series is linked individually)
  • Promotional sets
• Introduced parts (each part has its own page)
  • 71612cx1 Chrome Drill
  • 30298 Roll Cage
    • Observed mould numbers
    • Mould variations
    • Prototypes
    • Found in which sets? (lot of work, maybe not needed)
  • More parts...
• History and development
  • Prototypes
  • Information on years of development etc
  • Cancelled sets
  • Changes over time?
• Legacy
  • What remains of the theme today
