Hi

Hi, thanks for your edits to the Red Hand pages! Please leave a message on my talk page if you need any help with anything. -MugaSofer (talk) 18:01, May 27, 2016 (UTC)

Of course I'm interested in working with you! Be careful, though, this wiki is full of unmarked spoilers if you haven't finished Worm.

By the way, there's no need to specify that every reference is from Worm - just a chapter name and a link should suffice.

I'm reluctant to split up the Power Classifications page like that, especially since there are a lot of spoilers involved. That's a good idea re: the Case 53 page, though, I've implemented it. --MugaSofer (talk) 21:06, May 27, 2016 (UTC)

Good find, I've added it to the Navigation bar at the top. --MugaSofer (talk) 05:43, June 4, 2016 (UTC)

I wouldn't rely on the timeline as a source, but it might prove useful. I've added it anyway. --MugaSofer (talk) 08:11, June 5, 2016 (UTC)

re: secondary projects

The official policy for names is that the page should be "most recognizable" name, so usually the cape name. They tried making everything real-name-based in the early days of the wiki, it caused problems - people kept creating duplicate pages because they didn't know people's names, there were pages with random first names like "Geoff" or "Sarah", issues with people like Panacea who've changed their real name, stuff like that.

Some people have actually proposed we switch over to using exclusively cape names for titles, and separate people who've had multiple cape names into multiple pages. It'd reduce spoilers and make things neater when it comes to costumes and so on, but it'd take a concerted effort to rewrite some pages and it might be unintuitive.

I'll do some sort of vote on exactly how we want to handle this when we've found our feet a little more, but right now things are fairly fluid.

I'm not overly worried about spoilers. I'd rather we were at least a little circumspect with stuff like Scion's betrayal, Weaver's defection to the Wards, the true nature of powers etc. If there are two ways to phrase something, and one isn't a spoiler, yeah, I'd say going with the safer one is best. Still, there are always going to be spoilers, and if someone reads through the entire History section or something obviously they're going to learn all the twists that happen to a character - there's no need to tie yourself in knots to hide things from the reader.

Good idea, creating a page for the Evenverse.

In terms of wiki code: the Help pages on community central are very helpful, and usually turn up on google searches. I haven't watched Tremors, so I can't make fun of it :P but I'd suggest infoboxes. It looks like you guys already have character infoboxes on a few pages, and if you want to update the template to the new syntax it's pretty easy - you can more or less see how it works on our infobox pages - but if you have any questions feel free to message me.

Perhaps a page "List of Possible Futures" so that we can include notes on other precog visions people see and other ways things could have gone Wildbow has told us about - the one where Scion waits years and eventually decides to kill people on his own, for example.--MugaSofer (talk) 12:40, June 25, 2016 (UTC)

On second thoughts, maybe better make it "List of Notable Future Visions". Including a note for every time the Smurf dodged an attack would be ...difficult, to say the least.--MugaSofer (talk) 19:47, June 25, 2016 (UTC)

Re: Character template

When I create the page, it comes up with some templates, of which the character one is the one you're after. Sorry if this isn't helpful, I'm not very well-versed with wikia. WhyJoKing (talk) 00:18, June 26, 2016 (UTC)
