That's how wikis grow, dude.

I mean.. come on, its kinda stupid to make that into a page.
Crap forgot to add this part.

I could make a weapons page though, if it is needed.

Shouldn't be too hard, the primary personal and crew-served weapons you need to remember are:

Blaster Pistol
Heavy Blaster Pistol
Blaster Rifle/Carbine
Heavy Blaster Rifle
Lt. Blaster Cannon/Lt Proton Launcher
Hvy. Blaster Cannon/Hvy Proton Launcher (Whilst no one makes a distinction between the two in-universe, there do exist smaller one-man portable blaster cannnos and crew served versions, both energy and missile types, and thus we should distinguish if we do make an article).
Lt. Repeating Blaster
Md. Repeating Blaster
Hvy. Repeating Blaster

Then give an example of one weapon of that type, their purpose, and a modern equivelant. For example.: The light repeating blaster like the T-21, it would be the equivelant of a SAW/LMG and would function much like a FN MINIMI. Whilst a medium repeating blaster would be the equivelant of an MMG and would be similair to the FN MAG. Finally the heavy repeating blaster like the E-Web, would be the equivelant of an HMG and would be similair to the M2HB.

Naturally. The Trek page will be much, much shorter.

I belive that would fall under SW ground unit offense, not weapons in general.

Anyways, the Weapons page I keept really short.

Unless you want me to go around and make whole categories for real world weapons, but that would seem really odd, as then we could get into making whole pages for real world guns, even though the Wiki is mainly SW vs ST or SW/ST and sci-fi, not a gun wiki.

My apologies, I thought it was general weapons. But since we're on the subject, of course you wouldn't need whole pages for real world guns, they just need a general idea of what it's real world counterpart can do and if they don't already know the difference between a light and medium machine gun, then they have a general idea of what kind of weapon they need to look for on globalsecurity.org or wiki or whatever they want.

Oh, well if I guess I could leave that for someone more knowledgable on real world guns, since I dont know much about that.

But I see your point, it would be like that chart on the main site right?

Ritterin Sophia · Post by **Ritterin Sophia** » 2008-02-02 08:19pm

Yes, just slightly more in depth, since I believe the main site only touched briefly on the basic areas of pistols, rifle, machinegun, and rocket weaponry.

Page for Wall of Ignorance is up, but I'm afraid that I haven't described it accurately.

Currently, the technology pages for each are divided into "Starships" and "infantry" subcategories. Should it be re-worked to be space combat and ground combat? Right now, there aren't any proper categories for fightercraft, artillery or armor. The Argo is currently in "other tech"

I'd go for a single page for ground combat. Having a jeep in other tech just seems weird. Seperate categories for artillery and armour would just be daft, seeing as nobody in Trek has any artillery, and I can only think of one example of armour.

I wonder if there's an admin tool for changing categories en masse. It would be a bit of a pain to have to go through and manual change the categories in all the affected articles.

Meh, I just saw that the AT-AT, etc were in a "SW Vehicles" category. I just made that a sub-category of "SW infantry"

What would be a good generic term for beings like Q, the Dowd, and the like in Star Trek? They appear often enough that an article is probably warranted.

If we do this (and I think we should), then we should also focus on cleaning a couple other things up. The Main Page would need to be updated with the new categories.

The Main Page also still needs to be updated a bit:

Talk:Main_Page wrote:The factions link for the Empire leads to the now-empty "The Factions" page. It needs to be redirected to "Factions" by someone with the authority to do so. --Ted C 14:50, 9 November 2007 (EST)

Also, the Star Wars Infantry Other link refers to Category:SW Starship Other instead of SW Infantry Other. And the same for ST Infantry Other (points to ST Startship Other). -- Mad 15:22, 9 November 2007 (EST)

Also, I think the "SW_" and "ST_" prefixes look tacky. Instead, I move that we should references them using what seems to be the standard wiki postfix notation: "SW_Characters" becomes "Characters (Star Wars)". The main page should be updated for this.

I've created a page for Armageddon, EU-hatred, and Mando-wanking.

YES

BTW, looking over the Galactic Empire page, I wonder something. Didnt some of the companies in the Galactic Republic have some control on those two dwarf galaxies, and didnt the Empire nationalize those resources?

So, shouldnt it say it has control of the galaxy proper and some control over the 2 dwarf galaxies?

Some peace of subhuman Garbage named Lolatu has gone about spamming up the Wiki with this ''Cavern of Courage'' bullshit.

Lolatu-idiot boy's biggest vandalism was the "History of the vs debate" article. Dumbfuck doesn't realize he's only wasting his own time as it takes far less time to undo his edits than it takes him to make them in the first place.

Ted C · Post by **Ted C** » 2008-02-26 11:11am

Question:

Do we want to keep the Wiki fairly tightly restricted to Star Wars vs Star Trek and related issues? Or do we care if its scope creeps to include other types of versus arguments (given that many of those will also involve either Star Wars or Star Trek, if not both)?
