SporeWiki talk:Fiction Guidelines

Good it seems, but the actual language for the titles is not proper for the wiki, I have edited them n__n (talk) VofValar 16:59, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks XD--Technobliterator Techno's Talk 17:00, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

Whoa, I'm mentioned a lot. What am I, Lord of All Fiction? Xhodocto-3546 17:03, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

You're mentioned because a common mistake is saying "My empire is better than the Xhodocto who are the best". What do you not like that?--Technobliterator Techno's Talk 17:06, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

Concerning this, We should link Dinoman pages as well, they are very complete (talk) VofValar 17:09, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

I must agree! Done.--Technobliterator Techno's Talk 17:53, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

Wondering
Hey,

This is a very good idea and awesome explained and well detailed. However I fell over an issue, it says that if you do something wrongs or claiming your fiction is better etc. your fiction get hated. Now in my opinion it is a little bit a strong word, I prefer the word disliked or not popular and hate sounds a bit awefull. But I do not know how others users think of this.

None the less, this is very usefull for the new users. Dinoman82 17:38, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

Ah. Well, we will say "disliked"? You can edit if you like. BTW PEOPLE- we should advertise this? I've said how on Wormulon's talk page.--Technobliterator Techno's Talk 17:08, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

I concur with Dinoman, I made a few edits to make it look more proper n__n (talk) VofValar 17:08, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

I think we should limit the use of capital lettering in some places, it looks like the reader is being shouted at, and it doesn't look right. 17:13, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

Again I concur, I think we are underestimating new people a little bit, good-willing users will never write that, not in Ose's watch, it will probably be marked as spam, so let's be friendly (talk) VofValar 17:30, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

You are right about that, not all are claiming they are the best etc. Anyway, I also edited a part with that the new users also do not forget (even though there are rules) should not forget to have a great time and fun on the Wikia Dinoman82 17:38, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

Of course, not all editors who start fictions here are instantly undefeatable. This includes several new ones. 17:31, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

While I do agree with you, I still say it's a pain when there are. It would also help them out. Ok, so I was going a bit OTT...--Technobliterator Techno's Talk 17:35, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

Thats why we are making this guide, to offer this wiki's way to new users that unfortunately do such things n__n, when this happens we give them the link (talk) VofValar 17:42, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

We don't give them the link, they find the link before they start editing...--Technobliterator Techno's Talk 17:44, May 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * In the future, users that do not edit "well" means that they have skipped the link, so its our duty to pass them, just in case n__n (talk) VofValar 17:49, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

Another tip, it would be better not to write user names on the page, this is a wikia page and not someone's fiction, any way this is just a suggestion and i don't know if it is allowed here on the wiki, in other wikis where I'm admin I do not allow users to do that on wiki pages (the ones under the namespace: "WIKINAME:"), anyway just suggesting n__n (talk) VofValar 17:46, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

Removed step 5?
Why was Step 5 removed? The fact that it was n't about "starting" fiction?--Technobliterator Techno's Talk 17:57, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

Because the fact that the Xhodocto are the most powerful race in the wiki doesn't mean people must follow it, just look at Ghelae's fiction, its completely on another parallel Dimension where no Xhodocto has gone before, and yet his fiction is complete as well, don't worry, I have placed that step as a Tip in a new section a made n__n (talk) VofValar 18:02, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

Yes indeed, I was also wondering that :D. I also edited a part about using Gods like things in you fiction, that when it destroys a Galaxy, is does not mean other users fiction are destroyed! Dinoman82 18:04, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

You obviously don't get what I said a "Xhodocto killer" was.--Technobliterator Techno's Talk 18:08, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

Yes I got it, but the Xhodocto Killer thing its just an example that doesn't have to be step 5 since here we are to teach people about fiction, and not about the greatest species in the site, that's why I placed it on other tips section. (talk) VofValar 18:24, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

Yes I agree with the Valadar, perhaps we should put a seperate section on the page where users can see how large and well explained fiction are made with links to it, examples of fiction there put can be the Delpha Coalition of Planets, the Xhodocto, the Krassio Host, the Capricornian Sector Alliance, the Vartekians etc? Dinoman82 18:31, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

I also think we shouldn't set too many standards, or the wiki will feel restricted and unkind to new users, and thats not what wiki's are about. Users fictions doesn't have to live up to the standards of lets say, the Xhodocto. Many fictions are different and many fictions don't even participate in big Sporewiki wars, alliances and other stories. I think this should only apply to crossing fictions with other users, to make a fairer roleplay. 18:41, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

Hmm, you are right about that, didn't think it of that way. Yeah perhaps we should not do it then. Dinoman82 18:43, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

Agree. -- (talk) VofValar 18:45, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

Hold on? What if users are struggling to make their fiction and need help? That's what it's for--Technobliterator Techno's Talk 19:14, May 11, 2010 (UTC)

Clash of the fictions
Some fictions might be incompatible with others. Consider the Human Republic and the Human History Post 21st century. Both have affiliations with Sporewiki empires in the same universe (Jovar and the Jarquvix, and the Jarquvix, DCP and Human Republic). 14:26, May 18, 2010 (UTC)

hmm... Speaking of which should we mention Fiction:Grox Empire and Fiction:Human Republic and the rules for them?-- 19:17, June 6, 2010 (UTC)

Something to say
This doesn't mean you can make fictions and pretend that fiction sucks(Example:If i write in this that they sucks Because they are too violent.),every fiction is good fiction. TheSmasherTeam 10:35, July 23, 2010 (UTC)

How do you add pictures? Also, what if you tried to make it sound like the fiction was written by your empire...like, what if I said something like "Our illustrious leader"...basically, is this-->[] okay for a noob? Please tell me...Thx! Caeserguy 03:11, December 2, 2011 (UTC)

Well, since new galaxies are generally frowned upon in the current atmosphere, colonising an entire galaxy isn't likely to happen. Aside from that, once they have completed their quest to destroy the Grox, their 'deity' stage will basically be where most races in the wikiverse are at this point, so I have no problems with it. -This message by Spriggs077, a.k.a.

Q about Galaxies
Why can we not create new galaxies? --Wickle Fwickle (talk) 05:57, November 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * Before the cleanslate this wiki had a problem with people creating one-user galaxies and never interacting with the outside. This rule was set up to encourage new users to create stuff in established settings. You can still create private universes with as many galaxies as you want so long as it does not interact with the main fictionverse.

--Monet47 - "Immortality is an elusive thing" 10:58, November 18, 2012 (UTC)


 * So we can actually make separate universes but not separate galaxies? Oh, and what if our galaxies do interact with other user-made fiction? Would that be acceptable? Anyways, why is it considered not-so-good if users don't interact? Thanks! --Wickle Fwickle (talk) 10:53, November 19, 2012 (UTC)


 * Private universes interacting with the main fictionverse is generally discouraged, you can do what you like and that's why they're kept private. Stuff like tier 0s, 1s, galaxy-sized etc. is allowed; Your universe your rules as long as it does not cross over. The whole "we don't like non-interaction" mindset is there because being isolated kinda defeats the point of putting it in a collab universe and being in a community project. --[[Image:urielminipic01.png|20px]]Monet47 - "Immortality is an elusive thing" 16:40, November 19, 2012 (UTC)


 * So it's okay if the galaxy made still contains species interacting? --Wickle Fwickle (talk) 12:30, November 20, 2012 (UTC)


 * Also, are there any current alternate universes in this wikia thus far? --Wickle Fwickle (talk) 14:21, November 22, 2012 (UTC)


 * Private universe fiction is not allowed to interact with the rest of the fictionverse. That's why it's called "private universe". MiniShuulathoi2.png OluapPlayer  -  Fear me, cowards!  14:28, November 22, 2012 (UTC)


 * Okay.... Also, what if I create a Magellanic Cloud-like formation as my galaxy that contains creations that DO interact with the main fiction creations a bit? Would the cloud's creation be justified then? --Wickle Fwickle (talk) 06:50, November 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * No. It would stil be classed as a new galaxy and I think we have enough dwarf galaxies already. --[[Image:urielminipic01.png|20px]]Monet47 - "Immortality is an elusive thing" 18:04, November 23, 2012 (UTC)


 * I don't expect you treat a cloud any different than how you'd treat a galaxy. I mean, if the Cloud's occupants do interact with other user-created empires and such, would the cloud's existence be justified? --Wickle Fwickle (talk) 05:22, November 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * If you mean a nebula inside of a existing galaxy, then go ahead. That's what Aquilo is doing with the Eagula Region, actually.

 * Ah. Thanks. --Wickle Fwickle (talk) 05:44, November 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * So....any good galaxies? Preferably a big one? A somewhat less busy one? --Wickle Fwickle (talk) 05:20, November 25, 2012 (UTC)
 * Milky Way's a good starter one.

 * 'Kay. Thanks! --Wickle Fwickle (talk) 13:30, November 25, 2012 (UTC)


 * Also, for the alternate universes, how do we name them? For the usual fictionverse, it's "fiction:____" or something like that. How does it work for Alternate Fictions? --Wickle Fwickle (talk) 14:11, November 25, 2012 (UTC)
