Revision as of 13:43, 19 December 2024
Which tribes are being worked on?
Are there anyone who are working on the pages for the tribes? If so which one? Sladerfisk (talk) 09:58, 17 December 2024 (UTC)
- I am not working on writing any pages. User:Aqwek and User:Drachenlebenstil have both written significant content on the HiveWings page. Bog (talk) 14:07, 17 December 2024 (UTC)
- I started to work in seawings, are there any templates we are following for the different tribe pages? Sladerfisk (talk) 18:11, 17 December 2024 (UTC)
What images can we use?
Where can we find sources for images that can be used? Sladerfisk (talk) 20:02, 17 December 2024 (UTC)
- I’m gonna say keep it to official Wof images at least for now. I’m not sure where the best sources would be, but don’t worry too much about image quality because images can always be updated later.
- The image I added to The Dragonet Prophecy is extracted from a PDF version. Bog (talk) 21:12, 17 December 2024 (UTC)
- So there should be no problem if we used the images from the guides of dragons of Pyrriah/Pantala part of the books? Sladerfisk (talk) 21:16, 17 December 2024 (UTC)
American or British English?
LanguageTools is screaming at me for using "color" so I'm just going to ask if we should use American or British English on the Wiki. Aqwek (talk) 02:24, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
- I think either would be perfectly alright, as long as it's spelled correctly and consistent throughout the whole article. Although, I typically write under the conventions of Commonwealth English, but I'm just choosing to write with American conventions simply because this is an American book series, you don't have to do that though.

Tribe Page Layout
This is what I've been guessing the layout should be, and I'm putting it here so that we keep stuff consistent and can change this if we need to.
Base Summary
Appearance
Abilities
Society/Culture
Names
History Aqwek (talk) 02:44, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
- Shouldn't names be part of society/culture, rather than it's own section? Sladerfisk (talk) 08:38, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
Referencing
I have all the books (I think) in paperback, so I can help with referencing. Rusty (talk) 05:54, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
- Should we use the pdf versions for page number, or just the books? There seems aleast to a different compared to the pdf on the Internet Archive, and my version of the books. I only have the paperback and not the hardcover so I don't know if there might be a difference between those versione. Sladerfisk (talk) 20:17, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
Pdf or book page for citation?
Should we use the page from the book version or the pdf version? There is a clear different, for example The Lost Heir page 156 on the pdf version found on The Internet Archive is page 118 on my paper back version. It could as well also be a different page on the hardcover version (but I can't check because I don't own that version). And thats also not taking into acount that there might even be regional differencess.
I personally think we should refer to the pdf page number. One, because it is easier to find infomration there, because you can just ctrl + f to find a centense. Second, you don't need to own the books to find the correct page.
What are yours opinions about this? Sladerfisk (talk) 20:29, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- What do you think of using chapters and paragraphs instead? They'll consistent across all current and future publications.
- Book Title, chapter #, paragraph # Bog (talk) 20:52, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- I aggre that that is probbably the best solution to be honest.
- Should the paragraph be a qoute of the citaded information? Sladerfisk (talk) 21:15, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- No quotes are needed, just a reference :) Bog (talk) 21:17, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- What do you mean? (Im kinda new to writing a wiki (and a bit slow too lol)) Sladerfisk (talk) 21:18, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- In the visual editor, there is a button that says Cite. If you press that button, it lets you add a little citation number to where your text cursor is and adds a reference to the bottom of the page. In the popup, you can type the name of the ref like
- The Dragonet Prophecy, chapter 3, paragraph 5 Bog (talk) 21:24, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- Ooohh, right. And a new paragraph starts with an indent right? So for example if you where to cite the fact that SkyWings lives in Possibility, you would write: Winter Truning, chapter 16, paragraph 42. Right? Sladerfisk (talk) 21:36, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, that's exactly right :)
- Make sure you double check the spelling of Winter Turning and surround in in square braces like [[Winter Turning]] Bog (talk) 21:40, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah I will make sure to do that lol, thanks for the help ^v^ (sry Im a bit slow) Sladerfisk (talk) 21:43, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
