Talk:SporeWiki

I basically included the info from "The Top Ten Concepts in Spore" and the icons. Needs a lot of cleaning up, but I figured I'd get it all in one place.

Once things get more organized, it'll probably be a good idea to mark things as actual confirmed Spore elements (that we've seen or heard about) versus ideas, concepts and wishes. --Jaleho 12:47, 9 January 2006 (PST)

I think that most of the links that are currently on the page should be turned into inter-Wiki links. I would do it, but I fail miserably at interWiki linking. Samog

There is a plethora of speculation -- what might be helpful is a collection of confirmed information. Rewatching the GDC videos, listening to the Gaming Steve interviews, and scanning the forums for "I got an email from Will Wright and he said this" and posting those elements in-depth will be useful. --Jaleho 15:07, 10 January 2006 (PST)

Linking to The Wikipedia proper at this early stage would be a wise idea, RE: Evolution, E3 2005 etc.

Yeah, having a dozen articles that say something like "A single player game is a game with a single player" makes the Wiki look, for lack of a better word, half-assed.

I think we need to remove a lot of the links from the main page, or link them to wikipedia... otherwise we risk the danger of spending too much time writing articles that have little to do with Spore itself.--Jaleho 16:14, 11 January 2006 (PST)

Look, we need the Afd movement! it helps the wiki!
 * That doesn't belong on the main page. Foremost this wiki is for people looking for info, not people lookign to give info.  So if they want to add something they will follow the "How can I help link" which will show them everything they can do that'll be useful to the wiki.

References and such on the Main page
There shouldn't be references on the home page. It doesn't belong there. If the references gave us a piece of information, they should be in those articles which gave that information. 24.199.134.34 16:44, 1 February 2006 (PST) (will be making an account soon)

Several VIGILANTE JUSTICE edits later, the Main Page is now ready to be expanded into a real Main Page. -Samog 16:57, 1 February 2006 (PST)

Stub
I created a stub template to sort out all the articles that we have with little or no information. That way it can be monitored and people will be easily able to fill it in. This is the stubs catagory, and all articles that receive the template will be added to that category now :). Mason11987 (Talk - Contributions) 21:14, 1 February 2006 (PST)

Infobox
I created a Template:Game Infobox basically after the Infobox CVB template on wikipedia. For the Spore article, and did a copy-paste from wikipedia simply because something needs to be there. We need to rework it though of course. But a start was needed. Mason11987 (Talk - Contributions) 21:19, 1 February 2006 (PST)

The logo
Just a suggestion/thought... I think the SporeWiki logo should probably include the word "wiki" in it. I mean, I like it now (I like the style/design), but this website isn't a Spore website - it's a "SporeWiki" website. So, any other thoughts on this?

 * This is just an example, it's too low-quality to actually go on the front page. Putting the text in the lower right-hand corner works too. Samog 21:02, 13 February 2006 (PST)
 * Not bad, did you screenshot it or did you save the file from here then change it. Mason11987 (Talk - Contributions) 21:25, 13 February 2006 (PST)
