Introductions to General Policies

This page is the meeting ground for Herocopia.com topics that are more global in scope. A place to ask generic questions, raise concerns, discuss design and content issues.

A couple of slight difference for the veteran contributors to be aware of please.

1. Don't delete a policy item (like this one) when it has aged or answers have been provided. Instead, we will be archiving them to the bottom of this page.
2. Take advantage and use the "special page: Recent changes" to see where people are commenting on specific characters, topics or whatever. Don't promote a local issue to this Help Talk Page unless you feel strongly that it is global in scope. Even then, think twice about just how strongly you feel about that global nature of your topic.

For now this is just a holding ground of sorts. But it will be the place to talk about policies, overall presentation, template changes...

More to come for this section as we move along.

To Do List

• Documentation pages for the character templates. (done --Infobroker (talk) 07:10, 27 August 2013 (PDT))

• A collected page for Street Names - rather than them scattered, unless it is a really special street, with something really special happening there.

• There are still lots of pages to dredge from the Wayback Machine website.

• There are lots Dark Age incidental characters that still need adding. Good excuse to go back and re-read the story arc in its entirety. My only problem, I get interrupted when I find an fun incidental, like the Universals and I want to post an entry for them here on Herocopia.

• Some feedback from others on the infobox templates. How to use them still needs documenting (see bullet 2)

Time Demarcations

For now, let's use a demarcation point of the start of the current Astro Cities(2013) series as a line between current and past activities and the start of the very first Astro City comic (Aug1995) as the dividing point for early and middle periods of past activities. We can discuss and adjust... --Infobroker (talk) 07:00, 27 August 2013 (PDT)

Issue Title Templates

• The templates for formatting Astro City Comics titles need to be rebuilt. I want the names to match what is in the indentia. The abbreviations can be whatever we like. Then we need to incorporate them into the appearance lists and elsewhere. For the most part let's use 'bots here.

For now, just use something that you are comfortable with. Making it look like what we have been cut-n-pasting from the old pages would be helpful to the 'bots.

Once I have the templates working I will append something here and on the Help page. --Infobroker (talk) 07:10, 27 August 2013 (PDT)
