Wiki namespace discussion

Go To

Continuing from here.

Is Wiki/ an appropriate namespace? It's not a Medium, it just catches The Wiki Rule entries that have own pages. I believe there's not much that separates these from Website/.

There's just about 50 pages, so moving pages from Wiki/ to Website/ wouldn't take relatively long (That's still 10000 wicks, though it's only a matter of renaming). There are points that we don't really need Wiki/ as a namespace.

(This is pretty much a pitch to see if the idea of a yes/no crowner would be supported.)

There are also concerns that same pages, like Memory Alpha don't even have tropes, or like Harvey Girls Forever Fanon and The Worldbuild Project that lack quality control, so that's something that can be cleaned-up while at it. —- I'll repost the updated list from the first page with current progress. It can probably be pinned and updated as the progress goes on. I'll continue to move wicks meanwhile.

Pages that were cut for being stubs and will need cleanup and a move to the Website/ namespace to be recreated

Pages to be discussed at Wiki/ namespace.

So what do we do with the remaining 10? Cleanup is needed, but nobody is up to the task.

I'd like to apologize for all this.

With the ones that say "if moved, needs cleanup", I'm wondering if they should just be cut for being stubs, and someone can make them properly in the Website/ namespace later if they feel up to it.

I'm just going to enact the changes I mentioned in my previous post since I'm back to doing mod work and this thread stalled, and since Work Pages Are a Free Launch, anyone who wants to recreate the pages in the Website/ namespace will be free to do so.

I already cut a couple of them and listed them in the opening post; I'm taking a break for now.

Edit: Oh, and Wiki.Uncyclopedia's wicks can be moved to Website.Uncyclopedia per the Red Link policy for works, but the page will be cut because it needs cleanup (which Sandbox.Uncyclopedia was created for. I'll have to cut Website.Uncyclopedia because it was created without doing any cleanup, and apparently also without consulting this thread.

So what's left to do here? Just cut the last few pages?

I'd like to apologize for all this.

If anyone else wants to tackle it, go ahead. I didn't forget about this; I was just procrastinating.

What, I just place them on the Cut List and chop all the wicks?

[up]Well, if you keep any wicks, change them to Website/ in case anyone wants to recreate them. Though Uncyclopedia is the only one I know for a fact is only getting cut for being a stub and not any other reason (since it can be recreated in the Website/ namespace if someone ends up trying it again with proper example context).

Double posting because Wiki.Killerbunnies has a decent amount of red links to change from Wiki/ to Website/ in case anyone wants to recreate that page in the correct namespace. Not an overhwelming amount, but enough that wrist cramps are making me take a break from it.

I think so, and someone already moved the page to Website.Uncyclopedia without doing the proper cleanup, and without moving all the wicks from Wiki.Uncyclopedia. The former's wicks can probably be left alone aside from indexing, though. (Sandbox.Uncyclopedia was created to salvage the page before recreating Website.Uncyclopedia.)

Crown Description:

The Wiki/ namespace has been deprecated in favor of Website/. However, there have been concerns that some pages in the Wiki/ namespace are not tropable works and should be cut instead of being moved to Website/. Which of them should be cut?
