We need to entirely rewrite the main fiction navbox and most of the pages it links to. It's horrifyingly out of date. Humungous portions of what it refers to is no longer canon. Its history section links like four stories.

We need to make an entirely new navbox, or at least cut out most of what's there and update the rest. Remove non-canonical concepts like the box. Update out of date pages like the ones that still mention Kkia Sihm and Kamik'Shi and the Game of Existence. Rewrite many of them entirely.

Also, to keep this kind of thing from happening in the future, let's cut out the history section altogether, and not link directly to any one user's fiction, save for the galaxies. That way things which haven't been canon in years won't stay there, because nothing likely to change will be there in the first place. Also, it provides the added benefit of not discriminating against newer users by making older user's content easier to access. (A person examining our navigation should not be able to tell Xhodocto from Drodo, nor DCP from WAS. They should be treated the same on the meta level.)

For the same reason about equality, we should also list more things in Alphabetical order, both in the Navbox and on things like the lists of Empires. The Galaxies should probably be listed that way also. This has the side benefit of making things easier to find.

So what do you guys think? Could we make a project out of fixing this? It hurts the ability of new users to understand the universe when a third of the stuff they're told to read to get up to speed is wrong and another third is incomplete and out of date.
