Discarded Worlds:Overall wiki structure: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 17:55, 17 May 2025

Just dump everything into the "Main" namespace

Make sure to categorize pages for better sorting, and pages will just have one or more categories.

Note for Admin: find a way to search for orphaned or uncategorized pages

Categories (try to keep this updated as more categories emerge)

Cosmology
- general worldbuilding and common information about the Discarded Worlds setting
Detriche
- All pages on the Detriche metaregion
Evergreen
- All pages on the Evergreen campaign setting
Stoneheart
- all pages on the stoneheart campaign setting
Characters
- Character bio pages across all campaign settings (search for two categories at once to filter character lists)

Namespaces:

Main: all normal content, in a published form

Talk: side conversations about the pages, notes on what to update and research or flesh out. These are notes for upcoming publishings

NSFW: this is for NSFW content for some aspects of worldbuilding or other stories that are not public. Access to this namespace is restricted to only wiki admin plus one more user.

Discarded Worlds: Ongoing work and planning for building this wiki and how to integrate multiple projects into it.

Help: how to guides of various types

Template: template pages

-I want to establish some foundations for the wiki to grow into so it can stay somewhat organized.
+Just dump everything into the "Main" namespace
-=== Idea A ===
+Make sure to categorize pages for better sorting, and pages will just have one or more categories.
-One option is to assign category tags to certain pages, which are searchable. One page can have more than one category.
-=== Idea B ===
+* Note for Admin: find a way to search for orphaned or uncategorized pages
-We could be super low tech and just dump everything into the main page and just have a cover page for each project that holds the specific page links.
-=== My thoughts ===
-Ideas A and B are probably the same thing, compatible, or otherwise ideal to use in conjunction with each other. I'm not able to compare and contrast them well enough as a mediawiki noob.
-What type of category loadout should we have?
