Agora/9 May 2015
Mainspace essays
Are there any standards at all for what essays should be allowed in mainspace? I've been putting all mine in my userspace. Lysander (talk) 17:03, 9 May 2015 (UTC)
- Yes, all essays and personal opinion articles belong under category life. That is the main purpose of that category and why it is separate from Category:Encyclopedia. However, it is also not an anything goes category either. The entries need to be boylove specific and have relevance. So for example, an article refuting Andrew Calimach's stance on buggering in Ancient Greece is relevant, an entry on women's fashion in Ancient Greece is not (unless you have a strong reference for "cross dressing ancient Greek boys" and have an opinion on it). Also, opinion pieces still need to be referenced as much as possible and where required by law or BoyWiki policy.
In most cases, I am willing to allow, to a certain extent, off topic stuff in ones user space so long as it complies with our policies (and does not contain anything that is illegal or is likely to cause problems in MY estimation) and so long as it does not get out of control. (if you have more then 25 user pages consider that out of control) --Etenne (talk) 20:08, 9 May 2015 (UTC)
- One could easily have more than 25 user pages, if one were, say, creating a lot of userboxes or using userspace as a place for meta-analyses, etc. Lysander (talk) 20:31, 9 May 2015 (UTC)
Flying Spaghetti Monster
Is there any problem with BoyWiki's categorization scheme resembling a koosh ball or the flying spaghetti monster, in that Category:Encyclopedia forms the middle and then there are strands of categories that each end in an article? Lysander (talk) 17:55, 9 May 2015 (UTC)
- If I understand correctly what you are asking then no, I think it is suppose to be like that in many instances. however keep in mind relevance to boylove and this a small wiki, somethings just will never have enough entries to be relevant categories on BoyWiki.--Etenne (talk) 20:13, 9 May 2015 (UTC)
Also @ Lysander
When you make a change in a Template, you need to add the new syntax to the documentation page so people know how to use it. (See Template:Cleanup)--Etenne (talk) 20:48, 9 May 2015 (UTC)
