Draft WIP - Comments welcome.
Project Overview
The goal is a full exploration of CIG's lore, an expanded writer's guide with behind the scenes observations. This will be in stark contrast to the eventually available official Galactapedia, which will likely be in character only, and likely only show things the UEE public is supposed to know.
Note: By full exploration, still mean to attempt to stay in a neutral objective "tone". Provide Wikipedia style analysis of the subject matter.
Organization
Would like to use heavy use of the Category System. All lore articles should be Category:Lore (exception: Comm-Link Archive)
Subcategories:
- Category:Characters
- Category:Organizations
- Category:Historical Events
- Category:Wars
- Category:Battles
- Category:Eras (Historical periods, like Messer Era.)
Should this include Systems? Should Systems be Subcategory of Lore?
Formatting
Considering a {{Lore}} template to denote pure in lore text. Meaning written from an in-lore perspective, as opposed to simply talking about lore. Maybe {{LoreQuote}}?
Infoboxes
We currently have a proposed organization template:
Proposed Character Infobox:
These could potentially stand to be developed and do autolinking (and auto-categorization) were possible.
Basic format for Historical Events:
- Name =
- Image =
- Type =
- Start Date =
- End Date =
May have different Infoboxes like Wars and battles, but all should have these fields.
Example Pages
To Be Written.
Candidate Examplars:
- Organization: UEE, Advocacy
- Characters: Corath'Thal,Edward Aemile
Spoiler Policy
Good question. We have a spoiler block, so should use for spoilers of the Squadron 42 or PU mission narratives. But mostly for main lore I don't think we should bother. General disclaimers may apply to the Lore Section ("may contain spoilers").
