How about a link to the [[Leaked E-mails]] in the '''Hot Topics''' section?  We've been getting a lot of new ones lately, and not all of the updates are making it to the uF thread, so it'd be good to point them out here. [[User:Xnera|xnera]] 19:29, 21 September 2006 (PDT)
==To Do==
:Tis done! [[User:Scott|Scott]]
More needed on:
* [[Frozen Indigo Angel]] - bring up to date, tidy text into [[Hot Water]]
* [[Hot Water]] - general overview of whole story, puzzles, timeline, what leads to where, consider merging parts of [[FIA]]
* [[Neural Override device]] - more details as they come

I've created a page for [[Email addresses]], so we have them all on one list.  Could we get this added to the main page somewhere? Thanks!  [[User:Xnera|xnera]] 12:10, 30 September 2006 (PDT)

==Season Two==

So, what shall we do for the next season? Instead of slapping a "Season One" category tag on every single page, I think we should probably just make a fresh start, to avoid the tangled web of overlapping information. That will also mean making a specific effort between now and then (March 1) to at least clean up the pages that are seriously out of date. That also means the next one will be perfectly categorized and shiny with templates, though. Thoughts? -[[User:Lhall|Lhall]] 22:16, 12 February 2007 (PST)

:Whaa? entirely new? gads no!  That seems like more work than not.  I would expect a lot of information will be reusable.  Much of what we already know will not disappear, i expect.  many of the businesses and organizations and people and things will probably be in seasons 2 & 3 & onward.  And I have a fFeeling there may be some interest in reading about what has come before.
:I was thinking, laura, about the you-know-what which a. hon was talking about, and i was thinking [[Timeline:Meta]] might be a good place to work out some rough ideas of order and structure.  in fFact, if all of that comes to fFruition like it should, there will probably be continued interest in knowing how things work fFor some while into the fFuture.
:perhaps a todo list of what needs to be done before the fFirst is in order?  fFor example, a good idea would be to label certain pages as "Events".  Like perhaps an infobox with event name, date, characters involved, that sort of thing.  Probably arent too many of those needed.
:I can easily see obsolete pages get deleted, but starting over new?  yikes!  Nothing ever gets implemented as cleanly as you think it should anyway, so we'd probably wind up right back where we are now with a royal mess, anyway.

::I also agree that starting over doesn't sound reasonable right now.  Perhaps if things are very different in Season Two we might want to rethink our strategy for the wiki, but I feel like we don't know enough right now to make large changes necessary.  [[User:Xnera|xnera]] 08:42, 13 February 2007 (PST)


:The current site is quite hard to navigate, not everything is categorised, and story arcs are quite mixed, some having a common footer template and others not. Or, at least this is how it seems to me, a relative newbie. Since [[:Category:Season2|Season 2]] has started now, shouldn't we get started as we mean to continue? A page, category for ''Hot Water'' would be good, as there seem to be many arcs coming, and this so-called 'mini-ARG' episode has already got quite big. --[[User:Edgemaster|Edgemaster]] 15:05, 13 May 2007 (PDT)

Link Fixing

  • Probably still more wiki.incognitus.net/mirror/ppc/www.perplexcitysentinel.com/##.##.## links to be dealt with. They don't seem to die, really. But I think the huge bulk of links have been updated. If you spot anymore, you know what to do :)
  • Links to the PXCS article including academy_scott_i.html may need to be checked, they seem to be embedded links in many places.

A method of using custom text for S1Wayback template links would be good. I'll look and see if I can edit it into the template. --Edgemaster 12:34, 14 May 2007 (PDT)

Done, see Template:WaybackS1 for usage. --Edgemaster 09:47, 17 May 2007 (PDT)
