| Discussions about page moves/merges should be kept on the pages in question, right? Rather than a generic page we can create for overall wiki discussions? Only asking with the number of new contributors. Kinda feels like sometimes things are in multiple places. For example, we have [[Monica]] still has postcard notes on it, but has no link to her pictures or postcards, [[Monica%27s_photos]] which also has shots of the newer postcards in it and then translations, [[Jorge%27s_Postcard]] which has copies of text the same as translations from Diego's email. I guess this just stood out as one example where I think the same text/images are being copied in multiple places when either it doesn't need to be, or needs to be linked better between them. I think I might try to tackle their reorg, but I wanted a place to discuss it.

Hi Thebruce,
how does the new codex pages work. Some of the German translations are on an extra page and some are also inserted automatically, some not. Who is intended to copy the things? Will you do this? AUZ505 14:19, 27 March 2008 (MST)
- yeah I might fix up the templating a bit. Look for the page templates section in the sidebar, and use the Artifact content wikicode for the new artifact pages. Don't worry about creating the links to them - that's handled by the templating automatically. I'll adjust the templates so the page labelling is a little clearer in the full lists. --Thebruce 14:30, 27 March 2008 (MST)
One suggestion. How about a new timeline icon, like "blog", for "missions". Than we can also update on the timeline when new missions are assigned. Actually I will do this with the "update" icon, but I would prefer a special one AUZ505 03:49, 5 April 2008 (MST)
- good idea, i'll get that up today sometime --Thebruce 05:59, 5 April 2008 (MST)
