Creatures Wiki:Guidelines/Future Projects

From Creatures Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search
Editnorn.png This page contains a proposed guideline on the Creatures Wiki.
It is currently up for discussion as to its merit before being made official.


  • Title: Future Projects Policy
  • Summary: Policy on pages about future projects on the Cwiki.
  • Proposed: Malkin 23:44, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Rationale

Recently, there have been a number of articles related to future projects added to the creatures wiki. Often these projects are only very hypothetical, and die before any actual content is developed.

Guideline

Future projects articles on the creatures wiki must adhere to the following criteria:

  • Ideas on the Creatures Wiki:Development ideas page should only get their own articles when someone actually takes them up. Descriptions there should be enough to get a potential developer interested in the addon idea. You can leave an email, or sign your post, if you think someone will need further information. (eg. Belgian Blue Norns - proposed by Malkin)
  • The article must be written in an encyclopedic style.
  • Use the {{futureproject}} template.
  • Link to any forum threads or webpages that are related to your idea.
  • Don't make the article to tease us - forums can be used to seek support and additional assistance from the CC instead. If your project is extremely secret, don't make a page!
  • A certain level of commitment to the project must be demonstrated - for example, financial backing (Simbiosis), concept art (Spot Norns), and/or a backstory.

Open questions

  • What exactly is a "certain level of commitment"?
I'd say it would be when a person reading the article can be reasonably sure that the project won't die. - Malkin 03:27, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Discussion

The above guideline may be discussed in the space below. When a consensus is reached, the guideline will be either rejected or put into effect.

I wholeheartedly support this. I corrected the template link. :) (it's just {{futureproject}}) ElasticMuffin 02:06, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
